Xiao Xin is dead. I told them she was Xiao Jin's sister, but they wouldn't listen.
These words struck like a bolt from the blue, plunging the entire channel into an instant silence.
Originally, no one cared much, since many players had died.
On the channel, there are plenty of people not only looking for others, but also arranging fights and exchanging blows face-to-face.
But Li Qi mentioned Xiao Jin.
Now everyone knows Xiao Jin's name, let alone the fact that the protagonist who died was Xiao Jin's sister.
The group spread the word and squatted in front of the channel to watch the excitement.
The players reacted differently, but Liu Man and the other two felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their hearts aching so much that they almost fainted.
Xiao Xin initially thought the game was too difficult and that she had died at the hands of a vengeful ghost, but it turned out she was actually killed by other players.
Inside the carriage, Liu Man's eyes were bloodshot, her hands gripping the armrests of the sofa tightly: "Who? Who is it?" she shouted.
[Liu Man: Who killed him?]
Then, the moment Li Qi uttered the name "Shadow," the situation took an even more dramatic turn.
Li Qi asserted with certainty that although Xiao Xin's death was inextricably linked to the vengeful ghost in the dungeon, the player "Shadow" had also played a significant role in it.
The channel immediately erupted in discussion.
[Shadow? That's a code name! You have no information whatsoever, so what makes you think you're guilty based solely on your words?]
Some people in the channel, who weren't afraid of making things worse, also got involved.
[Exactly, find the person! I suspect you might be the one who killed them!]
"Yes, yes, that's what we'll say."
Luo Bin checked the channels and, sure enough, after he had someone stir things up, many people immediately suspected that Li Qi had orchestrated the whole thing.
Although Xiao Jin was unwilling to talk about any grudges she had with Xiao Xin, Luo Bin and the others respected her privacy, but they couldn't just stand by and watch Li Qi smear Xiao Jin.
Li Qi choked for a moment.
Before he could say anything on the channel, he saw three friend requests from Liu Man.
After that, Li Qi stopped talking on the channel. Xiao Jin closed the window and opened the messages from Xu Qing and the others.
[Xiao Jin: It's alright, just pretend you didn't see it.]
[Xu Qing: It's good that you know what's going on. That Li Qi is no pushover.]
[Xiao Jin: I know we'll meet again.]
Xu Qing raised an eyebrow upon seeing these words.
…………
Before we knew it, it was time for a new round of the game to begin.
During the preparation phase, Xiao Jin checked his items. But just then, with a 'beep', a new email appeared in the panel's backend.
Xiao Jin: "Hmm?"
She opened the email with a puzzled look, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes after seeing its contents.
Because it turned out to be an admission letter.

this……
After a moment of silence, Xiao Jin sent a screenshot of the invitation to Xu Qing.
Not long after, Xu Qing sent a message.
[Xu Qing: You received it too? I asked Cui Mingyang, and he received it too, but Luo Bin and Tong Xiaolu didn't.]
I thought I was the only one who received a job offer, but I didn't expect so many people to receive invitations. There are two people right next to me.
Xiao Jin did not believe it was a coincidence.
Judging from the timing, it's not yet time for me to start working there. Besides, all information about this company is unknown, except for an address.
"Linjiang City..." Is it here again?
Xiao Jin closed the panel.
Let's stop thinking about it. We're about to move on to the next game world, and when the time comes, the other party will naturally come looking for us.
[Beep! Signal implantation complete, star anchor point confirmation in progress]
[Anchor point confirmed, preparing to teleport...]
The survival game is about to begin. We wish all players a pleasant gaming experience.
"Let's begin the lesson. Today's topic is..."
When Xiao Jin woke up, she was suddenly surrounded by a cacophony of voices, a cacophony that surged like a tide.
Her eyelids felt slightly heavy, and it took her a lot of effort to slowly open them. Xiao Jin then realized that she was lying face down on a long table.
Everything was blurry before her eyes, but as they gradually focused, Xiao Jin looked around and found herself in a spacious lecture hall, with all the seats around her filled with people.
In front of a huge blackboard and projection screen, a man was standing there talking eloquently. Xiao Jin didn't recognize any of the characters written on the blackboard.
The sunlight outside the window shone brightly, illuminating the entire space.
Xiao Jin subconsciously narrowed his eyes and touched the side beside him, feeling a chill emanating from the cold metal armrest.
Looking down, I saw that the bench I was sitting on looked a bit old, and in front of me was a book that looked like it had been read many times.
"Is this... a school?" Xiao Jin secretly scanned her surroundings with her eyes.
The young people in their clothes were either deep in thought or talking quietly, their faces radiating youthful energy.
Seemingly having thought of something, Xiao Jin carefully observed the wall and the blackboard in front of him, and sure enough, he saw a sign.
She rummaged through her backpack, found her phone in the left pocket, and started searching.
The search results came up quickly, and below the school emblem, the words "Linjiang University" appeared in large characters.
Tsk~ that's true.
Since the mission had not yet been announced, Xiao Jin did not rush to take action, but instead looked down at the information on her phone.
Xiao Jin discovered several chat groups with the words "Linjiang 24th Grade English Class 6" clearly displayed, which should be the school's main group.
After looking through the chat history, which was full of meaningless chatter, Xiao Jin opened the map.
However, when she searched for the haunted building from the previous world, she did not find such an address on the map.
Xiao Jin also couldn't find the WeChat official account created by Xiao Yu.
Looking up, Xiao Jin couldn't help but wonder if she had misunderstood.
Or is it that the supernatural world and the world of natural disasters are incompatible, and this game world is a world of natural disasters?
never mind!
Xiao Jin lowered her head again. If she couldn't figure it out, she shouldn't think about it anymore.
I also checked the news headlines and trending topics on my phone, but there were no warning signs of natural disasters.
Putting down her phone, Xiao Jin's gaze suddenly fixed on several people who, like her, were looking around. Their eyes flashed with a familiar wariness and vigilance.
Although their movements seemed casual, Xiao Jin could sense the tension and unease hidden within them.
