Let’s talk about what happened after the five players separated.
Xue Chengyu naturally walked with Yi Shengsheng and headed towards the cafeteria in the opposite direction of Shang Xia.
Because Shang Xia had stuck something on his head, and the main quest was inexplicably completed, and the ghost player to be found in the side quest currently had no directional characteristics, although Xue Chengyu felt aggrieved by being ordered like this, he did not resist in person.
Although she didn't think that a player who had been determined dead by the system could still exist in the dungeon...even if they did, it should be a corpse that the system hadn't had time to erase. But if she could find it before it was erased, she might be able to find clues about the evil player who committed the crime.
Xue Chengyu and Yi Shengsheng walked and stopped along the way until they reached the stone wall at the end, where swaying tree shadows were layered.
She looked up and said, "There's no way out. Which way do you want to go next? Left or right?"
"right."
Xue Chengyu responded casually, and just as she turned to the right, a strong sense of crisis suddenly gripped her heart.
She didn't have time to look back, and she just fell forward instinctively. The sound of the wind breaking in the distance brushed against the back of her head and vibrated into her ears.
Xue Chengyu fell to the ground, scraping a large piece of skin on the palm of her hand. She turned her head suddenly and saw Yi Shengsheng looking down at her and kicking her.
She barely managed to protect her heart and lungs, but her arm was completely broken by the kick and could not move. The bones in her entire arm seemed to be shattered.
Xue Chengyu was in so much pain that she almost cried, but she really didn't have time to question him. She took advantage of being kicked several meters away and crawled up using her hands and feet, then turned around and ran to an open area.
Yi Shengsheng acted quickly and ruthlessly, aiming for her life.
Xue Chengyu used up all her strength, but the distance between them was still getting shorter and shorter. When they ran to the playground, she almost felt that the other person's breath was close to her ear. Even if she dodged quickly, her neck was still scratched by the other person's shoe sole, leaving a bleeding mark.
She let out a hiss and fell out of the basketball court without checking her feet.
And the person chasing is already within reach.
Xue Chengyu's eyes widened: "Yi Shengsheng, you are crazy!"
The other party kicked her directly on the shoulder and neck.
"Bang——"
Her eyes went dark, her vision spun around, and she couldn't even cry out in pain. The next moment, she was lifted up and her breathing was cut off.
Xue Chengyu felt as if the bones in his arm were broken by the kick. He couldn't even muster much strength to resist, and his breathing became more and more difficult.
She scratched the hands on her neck with difficulty, tearing the other person's skin and flesh through the gaps between her nails, but the other person seemed to feel no pain at all, and the strength of the hands was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Until there was a crisp sound of bones dislocating.
Xue Chengyu's body instantly went limp and was thrown aside like a rag bag.
There was a circle of bruises around her neck.
Exactly the same as all the players killed by that shadow ghost in the past.
[The progress of the side quest has been updated, and the total number of remaining players is currently three. ]
[Side quest continues]
Yi Shengsheng lowered his hands and was about to leave when a gunshot rang out from behind him.
A bullet shot out of the gun and went straight through her chest, leaving a huge hole in her back and blood splattering on the ground.
Yi Shengsheng's figure shook and he turned to look at the person who came.
Shang Xia raised his eyebrows and looked at her school uniform that was instantly stained with blood: "You are not dead yet, are you a diamond body?"
Lin Chenghuan followed breathlessly, glanced at Xue Chengyu's body, frowned at Yi Shengsheng and asked, "Why did you kill her?"
"Why else?" Shang Xia pulled down the sleeve, "Either she is a ghost player, or she is a ghost."
"Bang--"
Yi Shengsheng's body suddenly burst out with a speed that was not possible for a human, and he miraculously dodged the bullet. In the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of the two people and grabbed Shang Xia directly.
The boy raised his eyes lazily, bent his knees, and kicked the girl in the chest.
The human bones and blood were hit by the huge force, making a dull sound, like a ball hitting the goal with unstoppable force.
Yi Shengsheng flew backwards and rolled several meters along the ground before finally stopping.
Shang Xia turned the gun in his hand thoughtfully and walked towards the girl on the ground step by step: "Unfortunately, the sneak attack failed. Do you want to try again?"
Yi Shengsheng gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, the clouds blocked the moonlight, the whole playground suddenly became dim, and shadows covered the sky.
Shang Xia subconsciously covered his eyes and then took his hands away. The girl in front of him had disappeared.
He raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Are you playing hide-and-seek with me here?"
Lin Chenghuan stopped beside him, bent down and felt the breath of Xue Chengyu's body: "Yi Shengsheng is the ghost player between us?"
He was with Shang Xia at first, and saw the other party pick up the bloody hairpin, and saw the wound on Wu Qianchuan's arm. He subconsciously thought that Wu Qianchuan was a ghost player, so he attacked Shi Yu.
But unexpectedly, after Shang Xia killed the other party, the game continued, which means that the ghost player is still here.
Then they heard Xue Chengyu's scream. Thanks to the quietness at night, the green belt where they were was not far from the playground, so they rushed there immediately. As a result, they witnessed Yi Shengsheng killing Xue Chengyu with their own eyes.
This makes sense. Yi Shengsheng and Xue Chengyu left together, and Xue Chengyu died. She could have simply put the blame on Wu Qianchuan who was left alone. Anyway, Wu Qianchuan has always been a key suspect.
At that time, their suspicion will also fall on Wu Qianchuan, and they will kill the ghost player they suspect together. Yi Shengsheng will then take advantage of this opportunity to turn against them and kill one of them. The situation of massacre will be achieved, and she will win directly.
Shang Xia didn't look at the corpse and walked directly in the direction where the blood was dripping.
He had shot a hole in the opponent's body before, and it was impossible for the blood to clot so quickly. The two drops of blood falling on the ground every few meters were the best proof of this.
Even if he had taken advantage of the dark and windy moment just now to escape, Yi Shengsheng would certainly not have had a good time and would definitely find a way to hide and recover.
Lin Chenghuan called him: "Where are you going? Are you looking for someone else?"
"It's hard to say." Shang Xia didn't even turn his head back, and in the blink of an eye he had walked several meters away, "We'll know once we find her."

stadium.
Shi Yu leaned against the window and watched people leave one by one. He thought for a moment with his eyelashes drooping, and then walked down the stairs: "Let's go to the dormitory."
Cen Biexi was stunned.
"Lin Zhi might be in trouble." Shi Yu looked up at his sudden change of expression and said calmly, "If you don't want her to die, you have to rush over now."
Yi Shengsheng jumped into the dormitory room from the balcony.
Now her entire chest was pierced by bullets, and her back was covered in blood as it was hit first.
She was breathing heavily, with cold sweat on her forehead, and she forced herself to open the floor-to-ceiling window of the room.
There were four beds. One died on the first day, and another, Xue Chengyu, was just strangled to death by her. Now only Lin Zhi was left, lying quietly on the bed with a bulge in the quilt.
Normally, Lin Zhi wouldn't go to bed so early, but today he had a one-sided argument with Cen Biexi during the day, which consumed too much energy. He couldn't hold on any longer and went to bed early.
She was a light sleeper and was awakened by the sound of the door sliding. When she opened her eyes, she saw a figure standing at the head of the bed with her back to the light. She was so scared that her heart skipped a beat. It took her a lot of effort to see the other person's face clearly: "Yi Shengsheng? What are you doing standing here?"
There was no answer, only the sound of the wind whistling outside the window. The clouds and mist gathered layer by layer, and the moonlight became dimmer and dimmer. In the blink of an eye, the entire room became pitch dark.
Lin Zhi felt inexplicably uneasy: "Yi..."
The powerful feeling of oppression was like the water pressure in the deep sea, grabbing her breath.
Her eyes widened, and a whimper that was about to come out died in her throat. She struggled frantically like a dehydrated fish.
The distance to death was pulled from the brink to the end in an instant. Lin Zhi's eyes went dark and he had an illusion of a last burst of light as if he were seeing a scene in front of him.
Then there was a loud gunshot.
Shang Xia sat on the balcony and said with a smile: "I found you."
Both of Yi Shengsheng's hands were pierced by the bullet just now. His arms were shaking like a sieve. He didn't even think about confronting him head-on and turned around to leave.
Then there was a sharp pain in the ankle.
Shang Xia jumped off the balcony: "Still running."
"If the wrist is broken, he won't die. If the ankle is broken, he won't die. If the heart is broken, he won't die either." He tilted his head and looked at Lin Zhi on the bed, thinking, "Since you like to strangle other people's necks so much, what will happen if I hit your neck?"
Yi Shengsheng's pupils suddenly constricted and he retreated using his hands and feet.
"Bang--"
Shang Xia raised his eyebrows and fired without hesitation.
A sharp cry was drawn in the air.
Yi Shengsheng fell to the ground, blood pooled under him, and he was no longer breathing.
The air was silent for a moment, and no one took the next step.
Until Lin Chenghuan climbed in from the balcony, his eyes swept across the bloody scene in front of him, waited for a moment, and suddenly said, "No system message."
Whether it is Wu Qianchuan or Xue Chengyu, when they die, the system bracelet will send a message to remind everyone of the game progress update.
But Yi Shengsheng died, and the system did not send any message, nor did it announce the end of the game.
Why?
Lin Chenghuan suddenly didn’t dare to think any further and looked up stiffly at the only player present besides himself.
If Yi Shengsheng is not that ghost player, and he knows that he is not, then, there is only...
Shang Xia turned around.
Unexpectedly, compared to his fear, the other party seemed to have suddenly unloaded a heavy burden and actually smiled for the first time since he arrived tonight.
It's not obvious, but it's sincere.
Lin Chenghuan didn't have time to think about why, his vision suddenly flickered.
A handful of golden silk threads rushed in from behind him like a swimming fish, and then with lightning speed, easily penetrated into his limbs and the back of his head.
His eyes went dark and he knew nothing.
Shang Xia raised his hand and grasped the golden thread that was shot at him at the same time. He turned his head to look out the window and smiled: "Shishi."
Shi Yu half-crouched on the cement stone railing, with his ten hanging fingers wrapped with golden silk threads, one of which extended into Lin Chenghuan's body, while the other was held in Shang Xia's hand.
"Yi Shengsheng died just now but there was no system message, which means she is no longer a player recognized by the system. The remaining three players in the game do not include her." Shang Xia looked at him, the light in his eyes seeping into the shadows, "I was wondering at that time which three players he was referring to."
"I count as one, Lin Chenghuan counts as one, and the remaining one is you."
He walked out of the French window and said, "Let me guess more deeply. The ghost player hiding among us might be you."
There was no expression on Shi Yu's face. His gaze slowly moved up from the silk thread between his fingers to meet the other person's eyes.
His voice was calm: "It's me."
Shang Xia smiled lightly: "I really have never doubted you."
