"It was really an accident," Lin Chenghuan closed the door tightly, "I just came back and heard you guys chatting. You should know that increasing the game level will enhance one's five senses."
Shang Xia stared at him closely.
Lin Chenghuan really didn't expect to hear such words as soon as he returned to his residence. It would be a lie to say that he was not lucky, because he had already heard the content, which he could not deny.
But the other party had two people, and he didn't know their background or depth. He was always cautious and didn't like taking risks. He would never gamble on probability without absolute certainty, not to mention that what he was betting on now was the character of others in the God's Domain. After thinking about it, he said, "Shall we team up?"
Shang Xia's expression finally changed.
Lin Chenghuan said: "I heard the conversation between Lin Zhi and Cen Biexi in the infirmary during the day."
Shang Xia didn't say anything, seeming to be thinking.
Lin Chenghuan continued, "Now we all know about Cen Biexi's past. We will definitely look in this direction from now on. I can share the clues I find."
Shang Xia looked at him for a moment, then suddenly lowered his head: "Shishi."
Shi Yu had already pulled the quilt over him, closed his eyes, and acted as if it had nothing to do with him.
Shang Xia raised his eyes and smiled slowly: "Okay."
Lin Chenghuan watched the two of them interacting, deep in thought.
The lights above my head suddenly went out, and it was time for bed.
Shang Xia's voice seemed to contain a smile, just as he showed to others: "It's temporary."
Uncertain, plastic allies without any support, that will disperse as soon as the deal is over.
Lin Chenghuan knew what he meant and replied, "I understand."
After the other party went to the balcony, Shang Xia spoke: "Shishi."
Shi Yu usually has a hard time falling asleep, but now that he's had a car accident, the pain he gets every time always consumes his energy, which in turn becomes an effective sleeping aid for him. That's why he doesn't mind being a disabled person in a wheelchair.
After being called out like that, he pulled the quilt over his head and interrupted the other person: "I know."
"Um?"
"If he was going to keep that information for himself, you wouldn't be working with him."
Lin Chenghuan heard it, so what?
The game is not a teamwork mode. The final score is calculated based on the ranking. Everyone is a competitor. If someone else heard such a clue, whether it was luck or premeditation, it was the other party's ability, and they had no right to comment. It would be a normal reaction to keep it secret and investigate.
But Lin Chenghuan had no intention of letting the matter go. Instead, he offered to help repay the favor: whether it was because his personal moral bottom line was too high or because he knew how to judge the situation and behave, there was no need to fall out at this time.
If the other party didn't do this, then we should probably be on guard instead of forming an alliance.
Shang Xia was stunned for a moment, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips: "Yeah."
He spread out his hands in the darkness, took out the blade from his fingertips, and the sharp edge slowly retracted, silently seeping into the transparent bracelet.

The bedroom opposite to it.
Turning off the lights did not dampen the boys' temper at all. They still remembered the cold shoulder they had received in the classroom before and criticized the other party from head to toe. A strange revolutionary friendship emerged from this state of shared hatred and hatred.
After finally getting used to scolding, everyone just remembered that they hadn't washed up yet. The player who had crossed his arms before had a slightly higher standard for cleanliness, and couldn't fall asleep without taking a shower like other men, so he slipped into the bathroom and turned on the faucet.
He waited for a few minutes, but the imagined scene of blood did not appear. He breathed a sigh of relief, let go of his tense mind, and pulled off a towel from the rack next to him.
There was a constant buzzing sound in my ears, the water-dispensing machine vibrated constantly, and wisps of steam from the hot water filled the room.
The moonlight was blocked by thick clouds and the lights above suddenly went out.
Lights out.
He almost lost his grip on the shower head with his arms folded, and the water splashed all over his face without him noticing. He quickly closed his eyes and wiped his face, shivering all over from the cold.
He subconsciously looked up and his hands suddenly froze.
The water heater was completely black.
There is no light, let alone the fluorescent prompt of operation.
But the buzzing sound in my ears continued.
With a "pop", the shower head fell to the ground as he let go of it. A big crack appeared on the outer shell and the hole surface, and cold water spurted out, covering his face.
When he ran out, he bumped into the bathroom door in a hurry. The plastic door bounced against the wall with a loud bang, and half of his body was scratched and it was burning.
There was a ventilated window on one side of the door. Without the moonlight, everything in sight was dark.
He slid to the door of the room, grabbed the door frame and pulled frantically towards the open side, but the door seemed to be bolted shut and could not be moved no matter what he did.
The night wind behind him was even stronger, like a chill attached to his bones, initially covering only his back, and then completely surrounding him.
He didn't dare look back, and kept scratching the gap in the door with his nails.
Cold sweat oozed out of the palms of my hands, my head, and my body, and my fingers slipped from the door handle.
Like a crisp snap of fingers.
A suffocatingly cold pressure settled on his neck and began to tighten silently.
He fell to the ground, clutching his neck tightly, his nails digging into the flesh.

When Lin Chenghuan woke up, it was still completely dark outside the window.
He had always been used to going to bed late and getting up early, and had no habit of staying in bed, but it was not even six o'clock in the morning and there were only three breaths left in the room.
I don't know whose habit it was, but the small wall lamp in this dormitory is always on at night. The faint blue light is silent and soft, not dazzling enough to disturb people's dreams, but enough to see the scene inside clearly.
...It's just a little scary to wake up in the middle of the night and see blue light all around.
He turned his head and found that Cen Biesi, who was sleeping on the bed opposite him, was gone.
Lin Chenghuan waited for a while, and when he didn't hear anything wrong, he got out of bed quietly.
After putting on his shoes, he passed the bed frame and a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.
"Awake so early?"
No matter how brave he was, he was still frightened when he was patted on the shoulder in such an unknown place late at night.
Lin Chenghuan suddenly turned his head, took a deep breath after seeing who was who, and said, "Did you do this on purpose?"
Shang Xia sat up without knowing when: "It was really an accident."
The boy's tone was deliberately soft and gentle, with a hint of smile: "You heard it when you came down and got woken up. You know, the five senses will improve as the player level increases."
Lin Chenghuan: “…”
[Sisters, this doesn't sound familiar. 】
[I know the answer to this question. Teacher Lin used this reason to fool me yesterday! ]
【Xia Xia, you hold a grudge. 】
Lin Chenghuan comforted himself in his heart that as a teacher, he should not argue with a child, and went to the bathroom.
It was still early and the dormitory manager hadn't turned off the power yet, so the water heater was still off.
Lin Chenghuan was used to working in the dark. Not being able to see clearly did not affect his work, not to mention that there was light from the wall lamp outside.
The sound of water splashing.
He shuddered from the cold and looked up to find that the corner of the mirror in front of him had been reflected as a shadow.
Perhaps noticing the human line of sight, the shadow suddenly expanded, getting bigger and bigger, the area occupied increased from small half of the mirror, to half of the mirror, and then to most of the mirror, almost swallowing up the scattered gaps in the mirror frame.
A huge shadow came over him, clamping his whole body tightly and blocking his breathing, making it difficult for him to even move a finger.
In the extreme darkness and suffocation, Lin Chenghuan tried his best to activate the bracelet.
There was a loud "clang" sound.
The silence in the air lasted for seven or eight seconds, and then a beam of light shone in.
Shang Xia stood by the door holding the wall lamp. He first looked at the unknown object that had fallen not far away and made a loud noise, then looked at the empty room, and finally looked at the pale-faced man: "Are you possessed by evil spirits so early in the morning?"
Lin Chenghuan's head was covered in cold sweat, and all the bones and joints in his body were making slight noises.
Shang Xia waited for a while but got no answer, so he turned around and wanted to leave, but the other party finally responded.
Lin Chenghuan picked up the prop that he had just called out and dropped on the ground with difficulty, and called out to him: "Help me take a look."
Shang Xia: “Hmm?”
Lin Chenghuan took a deep breath, but still couldn't calm his pounding heart, so he had to give up.
He stiffened his fingers and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing the purple spots on his shoulder and neck.
Shang Xia raised his eyebrows and shone the desk lamp.
The bruises were almost symmetrical from left to right, and the weirdest thing was that there was a horizontal line in the middle, the thickness of a fingerprint.
...It was as if someone had once grabbed his neck with both hands from behind.
