Four Corners Game (VIII)
The two bodies quickly disappeared, and only the scenery of the autumn wind and falling leaves in the sky seemed to be frozen forever.
"Are you showing me this to show off that you're a ruthless murderer?" He Guang's face darkened for the first time. "I've seen many shameless people, but someone like you still breaks my record."
"You are indeed different from many people I have met." Alin was not angry but looked at He Guang with a smile, with the same expression as when he killed the girl in the illusion just now.
"I have killed many, many people over the years. Many of them were so weak that their souls had not yet taken shape. Some were very strong and used self-taught methods to deal with me. However, the most stubborn one was probably the woman whose body I dismembered."
He looked at He Guang with interest. "No matter whether they are strong or weak, there is one thing they cannot change, that is, they are afraid of me. They have a fear of me as if they were facing a monster or an alien. And you, you seem to be dismissive of me and don't take me seriously at all. You don't have any fear of ghosts and gods, even though you saw it with your own eyes."
"Humph, a fellow like you who has done so much evil, I won't take you seriously, let alone take you seriously." He Guang crossed his arms and said, "I just want to beat you up."
[The anchor’s mouth is poisonous enough]
[The anchor is really brave]
[Pfft, the anchor is so cute]
[This conversation is inexplicable... It's not appropriate for one person and one ghost to have this conversation.]
[The atmosphere becomes very strange, not the kind of strangeness you understand]
[It feels like the host and this male ghost are like martial arts masters who must have a verbal duel before a showdown]
[If the host hadn't made the male ghost feel a sense of crisis, would he have been able to talk nonsense?
Just now, his attitude towards killing people was like he was talking about the weather, so the anchor must have some abilities that we don’t know about.]
[The inference is reasonable]
【Applause, quack, quack, quack】
"I want to see what you can do." Alin said slowly, as if he was going to end the topic.
"It should have been done a long time ago." He Guang said and threw the Wu San in his hand, just like an ancient master throwing a hidden weapon.
A ball of black mist blocked Wu San, and the faint golden light on Wu San flashed and fell to the ground.
He Guang flew forward and pushed Alin to the ground.
"You are... possessed by my poor classmate, right?" He Guang thought about the words and pinched the other person's neck, which felt like pinching a piece of ice. "Is he dead?"
Alin smiled, "What do you think?"
It was this kind of smile again, and He Guang just felt that this kind of smile deserved a beating.
"It looks like he's doomed." He Guang raised his other hand and made a praying gesture, "I will avenge him."
She raised her fist and hit Alin in the face mercilessly.
Although there was no feeling of pain, it was undoubtedly a humiliation, at least for Alin.
Black energy emanated from his body and wrapped around He Guang like a rope.
At the same time, behind Guang, the boy in the illusion appeared.
Blood was still dripping from his neck, but he didn't care at all, as if he was a ghost resurrected from hell. He walked towards He Guang with the dagger that was still dripping with blood.
The audience, who had been watching for a long time, were originally a little tired, but now they were stimulated and awakened again.
The barrage of comments immediately exploded again.
He Guang didn't even look behind him. He picked up Wu San who had just fallen on the ground and threw him behind him without looking back. At the same time, he took out the peach wood dagger he had just exchanged and stabbed it into the opponent's heart with force.
The smile on Alin's face froze, and the black energy on his body surged more violently, but could no longer take shape.
"You are too confident." He Guang said as he pulled out the mahogany dagger without mercy. He turned around and slashed the neck of the boy who had already climbed up. A thin white light flashed and cut off the boy's neck. This time he fell down completely.
"Like many of my former enemies, they thought they had the upper hand and were always trying to play a game of cat and mouse."
As she finished her words, which were as light as a breeze, the surrounding scenes shattered like a painting on glass, making a shattering sound, and then the picture completely shattered.

Chen Mengze and Mo Liuying confronted each other silently in the dark night. This was one of the bad situations he was unwilling to foresee, but it was not the worst.
"What do you want to do?" Chen Mengze asked, "What do you need me to do for you?"
Forcing them to play this game in the library, is it just a boring game of cat and mouse or is there some other purpose?
He hoped it was the latter. As long as he still had value that could be used by the other party, he would have a chance to survive.
"You suspect that I am the instigator of everything." Mo Liuying's voice was faint and calm. It didn't sound like a question or a rhetorical question, but more like a statement.
Shen Mengze did doubt her. From the moment she saw a person on her back in her shadow under the light, he began to suspect that she might be a ghost or possessed by a ghost.
Now that he was blocked from leaving the library in the dark, this suspicion grew even more uncontrollably.
Were those who ran out one after another just now He Guang and A Lin?
Shen Mengze couldn't be sure and didn't try to call them. Now he didn't have the extra energy to think about their affairs.
Chen Mengze's silence seemed to be a kind of tacit agreement. Mo Liuying sighed softly, but suddenly brought up a topic that seemed irrelevant to the present. "How much do you know about this library? Do you know why it became a forbidden place?"
Shen Mengze didn't know much about the library, but there were so many messages and rumors about it that he didn't even need to ask about it.
Especially during the summer vacation last semester, several students climbed over the wall to explore the library, but later died tragically due to various accidents, which gave the library a layer of darkness and bloodiness.
The most widely circulated and relatively reasonable message among these messages is that twenty years ago a boy fell in love with his childhood sweetheart, but his childhood sweetheart only treated him as a playmate.
The boy had a gloomy personality and a strong possessiveness. If he couldn't get something, he would destroy it. He coaxed Qingmei to the open space of the library, and stabbed Qingmei to death with a knife in broad daylight, and then committed suicide in the open space as well.
After that, some people said that it was the ghost of childhood sweetheart who lingered, and some said that it was the boy who turned into an evil ghost and still cursed the land.
However, as time goes by, I am afraid only the parties involved know what the circumstances of the past events were like.
When Chen Mengze said this guess, he tried to be as simple as possible without any subjective comments, for fear of angering the ghost of Qingmei who was suspected to have been stabbed to death that year.
"It's been twenty years." Mo Liuying lowered her head, her expression even darker under the cover of the night. "Yes, we are trapped here, and the passage of time has made no difference to us."
Shen Mengze's heart moved, but he did not ask rashly.
Mo Liuying didn't seem to want to express too much emotion in front of strangers, so she just continued, "I have no ill will towards you. The dangerous thing is not this library itself, but the existence in the library, such as him."
"He is also a ghost?" Chen Mengze asked, "Is it A-Lin?"
For some reason, his first reaction was to suspect Alin.
Obviously, this "he" could be referring to another ghost. Besides, if Mo Liuying can possess someone else, then that ghost must be able to do it too. His target of choice could also be He Guang.
Is it just because A Lin is also a male that the male ghost would choose A Lin to possess him? Chen Mengze couldn't explain it clearly. Maybe it was just intuition.
But when he thought that the ghost choosing a person to possess was as easy as choosing clothes, he felt an even deeper chill in his heart.
"You used the word 'also' in a very subtle way." Mo Liuying smiled, "My power can only be equal to his if I die. If you walk out of the library, you will be out of my protection."
Shen Mengze thought about it carefully, but unfortunately he usually avoided these things and never paid attention to where the bodies of the dead in the library were found over the years.
Besides, even if you know it, it is not evidence that you can fully trust the other party.
He thought of the two people, or one man and one ghost, who had just run away, and couldn't help but worry about He Guang.
Is it possible that this unlucky girl will also die outside today?
Mo Liuying had no intention of leaving the library, and just as she said, she had no intention of hurting Chen Mengze.
Chen Mengze felt that if he asked the other party to save He Guang it would undoubtedly be a stupid and ridiculous act. If he went out to save people himself, or in other words, it would be seeking his own death.
I'm sorry, Kazumitsu-san.
He sighed in his heart, "Are all the people who died in the library over the past twenty years related to him?"
"yes."
Mo Liuying nodded. "Everything near the library is related to him. This game is more like a gamble between him and me than a way for you living people to survive."
"We can't stand the shock, and if we leave the library rashly, he will kill us?" Chen Mengze guessed, "Those who stay can be protected by you. If we leave, it means he wins, and if we stay, it means you win."
"That's right." Mo Liuying's voice was cold, and she looked at him like an elder praising a younger person, "You are one of the few people who can calmly listen to me finish my words. I have also stopped many people who wanted to leave the library before, but they escaped even faster."
And die faster.
Shen Mengze couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Who could possibly stay calm when the chips are down, especially when playing a game that could potentially attract ghosts in a haunted library.
"Why did he kill so many people?" Shen Mengze felt that it was difficult for normal people to figure out the murderer's mind, let alone after he became a ghost.
Mo Liuying smiled sarcastically, "He was originally a psychopathic devil. He couldn't leave this school even after committing suicide. He still had to repeat the pain of suicide day and night. This is his retribution.
Do you think a demon who can ruthlessly stab his childhood sweetheart to death and dismember his childhood playmate will study hard and make progress every day if he is trapped in school? "
Shen Mengze shook his head, "You...you can't leave either?"
Mo Liuying's smile froze at the corners of her mouth, and eventually turned into a calm mask, "I can't leave either."
She softened her tone, and when she looked at me again, there was a hint of compassion in her eyes, like a doctor looking at a terminally ill patient.
"I can protect you in the library, but it's impossible outside the library, and you can't stay in the library forever.
During the day our strength will be greatly weakened, my advice is that you should leave at dawn, it is best to transfer to another school, and never return to this school for the rest of your life, this way there may be a glimmer of hope. "
It would be great if transferring schools was as easy as it sounds. Besides, even if he could leave, what would happen to the others?
Chen Mengze did not respond, and Mo Liuying did not seem to need his answer, but just said directly, "This girl I possessed, you also..." She suddenly stopped before she finished her words.
Chen Mengze looked at her strangely, but saw her wave her hand, and a cold wind blew the door open.
There was a person standing outside the door. It was He Guang, who they assumed was already a corpse.
