Chapter 21: The Strange Shadow in the Villa



Perhaps because they were scared and screamed and ran away for various reasons in the previous times, the players were obviously much calmer this time.

When the glass shattered, many people were just frightened by the sudden situation and some even covered their faces with their arms.

However, they were all some distance away from the window, so the falling glass fragments did not cause any injuries.

"Why is the window broken?"

"It's too sudden. No one touched the glass."

"The wind?"

Some people speculated so, but it seemed impossible. At this time, there was a big hole in the window, and the wind from outside blew in. Although it was cool, such wind could definitely not break the window.

"How about we go over and take a look?" suggested a player.

As soon as the words were out, everyone around fell silent. The window was broken for no reason, so it was obvious that there was something wrong. Who would dare to go over there?

Some people kept looking at Zhou Zhou, and it was obvious what they were planning.

Qian Le blocked their view of Zhou Zhou and stared at them warily with his eyes wide open. Are you really using Zhou Zhou as a tool? Do you think he has a good temper and you have to take charge in any situation? This isn't a game played by Zhou Zhou alone. If it weren't for the small size of the dungeon and the large number of people, he wouldn't have bothered to deal with them.

Zhou Zhou kept looking at the big hole in the window. He thought it must have been broken by the girl just now, after all, she was the only one outside. Why did you break the glass? Do you want to come in? Or do you not want him to tell everyone that he has seen her?

Even under Qian Le's "fierce" glare, someone still spoke up: "Um, your name is Zhou Zhou, right?"

When Zhou Zhou heard his name, he looked back and found that it was a tall and thin man calling him. He nodded obediently.

Although the others didn't say anything, they were all paying attention to them.

"Look, in this situation, you have more experience playing games, and you are braver than us. There might be ghosts outside. If we go over there, we will be possessed, and after we die, we will become ghosts, which will be a burden to the team. You are different. You will not be possessed, so you are just right to go over there and help everyone check the situation."

What would be possessed? Ghosts will only appear after the player dies. Now all the ghosts are caught by Zhou Zhou. It is impossible for there to be ghosts outside. Moreover, this is only Zhou Zhou's second time playing the game. What's so experienced about it? This guy is just making excuses! Qian Le was so angry that he looked at Zhou Zhou, afraid that he would agree.

"Yes, yes, just go and take a look. It will only take a few minutes. It should be easy for you." Someone else in the group echoed, but his voice became smaller and smaller, and it was obvious that he also felt that what he was doing was not right.

Although the others didn't say anything, they all looked at Zhou Zhou with expectation.

Although Zhou Zhou was surrounded by the crowd, in reality, there was no one else within a one-meter diameter area around him except Qian Le on his left. Everyone stood a little distance away from him, looking at him expectantly.

If a normal person encountered this situation, those with a bad temper would have started swearing at these people, or those with a weaker personality would have been angry but could not withstand the pressure from so many people and would have to obey. But this time, the gentle Zhou Zhou did not move.

He likes being praised and likes to help others, but for some reason this time, everyone was looking at him, expecting him to take the initiative to check the situation and help them. But he felt a little unhappy and depressed. Not only did he not want to go there, he also didn't want to talk to anyone.

He didn't realize that he was angry because of these people's attitude.

What he was thinking was fully expressed on his face. Zhou Zhou lowered his eyes and looked at his toes, his mouth slightly pouted, as if he was being naughty and didn't hear or respond to anything.

No one dared to go over there by themselves, and everyone wanted to ask this good-tempered boy to go over and take a look. When they found out that Zhou Zhou didn't respond, several people felt a little resentful in their hearts, blaming him for wasting everyone's time. It wasn't a big deal to just go over and take a look.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

The fluorescent green boys couldn't stand it, and a large group of people were not ashamed to force a child to do something? He was just about to say that he could go over and take a look, after all, he was the man with a light on his head.

But he was interrupted by a sneer. Alvia leaned against the wall, crossed his arms, and swept his cold eyes over the players. When everyone looked at him, he said, "No need to go over to see, because she has already come in."

Come in? Who's coming in?

This nonsensical remark left everyone confused.

The wind outside the window suddenly became strong and poured into the corridor through the cracks in the window. The chilly wind made the players shiver uncontrollably, and goose bumps appeared on their faces and bodies.

Several players rubbed their arms and looked toward the window. Why did the wind suddenly become stronger? It's chilly.

But when they looked over, they saw a scene that made them tremble with fear.

Under the cold moonlight, a woman in red stood in front of the window, her long black hair covering her face. The cracked window was right behind her, but despite the strong wind, her hair and dress did not move at all.

I don't know how long she stood there. As if she felt someone was looking at her, the woman slowly raised her head, half of her pale face and a dark eye socket showing through her hair.

“Aaaaaaah!”

The few players who saw the resentful woman didn't even have time to warn their companions. They screamed and rushed through the crowd and ran back.

Their actions made everyone else very confused. When they looked towards the end of the corridor, the strange woman made everyone's scalp tingle and their hair stand on end.

“Ahhhhhh!”

They screamed at the top of their lungs and ran away, and the corridor was suddenly in chaos.

A few others were so frightened that their legs went limp and they collapsed on the ground, trembling.

Alvia did not move. He stood at the entrance of the room at the end of the corridor. All players who wanted to stay away from here would not run to that room.

Zhou Zhou didn't move either. He had forgotten that he was still angry. He stretched out his hand and was even ready to say hello to the girl, but the frightened Qian Le pulled him back.

"Ahhh, Zhou Zhou, run! There's a ghost!"

The resentful woman moved.

Her dress dragged on the ground and slowly floated towards here from the end of the corridor covered with broken glass.

Several players who were so frightened that they almost suffocated, their cheeks and teeth trembling. They crawled backwards while shouting in a cowardly manner, "Don't come over here."

The resentful woman passed by Elvia but did not stop. She could feel that the other party had opened his mental barrier. She knew that such a person was not someone she could handle, so she continued to float forward and floated in front of the player who was so scared that he could not walk.

"Chuck, chuckle, chuckle."

The woman's laughter echoed throughout the villa. No matter where the players ran, they felt that the voice seemed to be right behind them, following them like a shadow.

Unlike a normal girl's laughter which is soft and pleasant, the resentful woman's laughter is sharp and sinister, as if it carries endless malice. Even hearing it in the daytime can make people feel cold all over. Such a weird laughter makes the players who originally still have some rationality suddenly collapse.

Just as the resentful woman stretched out a hand with long black nails towards the limp player, a roar like a roar exploded on the second floor.

“Aaaaaaah!”

This voice stopped the resentful woman who was about to attack the player, and also stunned the few people on the second floor.

Because that was coming from Heya.

Heya, who was over two meters tall, taller and stronger than anyone else present and looked very fierce and brave, was now roaring loudly, leaning against the wall without even daring to open his eyes, waving his hands wildly. Anyone could see his fear and collapse.

The huge thunderous roar made the players hiding in the room even more frightened. They didn't know what was happening outside, but they just heard a woman's weird laughter, followed by a roar like a wild beast. They could only hide themselves more tightly, closing their eyes and not daring to move, for fear that the ghosts outside would hear the noise.

Elvia's aloofness finally couldn't be maintained anymore, and he looked at Heya in surprise. He really didn't expect that Heya would be afraid of these things. Heya had never said anything after knowing each other for so many years, and he had readily accepted the task. However, a woman whose appearance he could not see clearly could scare him like this.

I thought that after Heya entered the copy, he kept a low profile because he was afraid that people would find out that they knew each other. Now thinking back carefully, it seems that he has hardly spoken since dark, and he has also hidden his breath. Although he is so tall, he is like a transparent man. Many people have forgotten that he exists.

After the three ghosts appeared, he was probably one of the first players to run to the first floor, and he was in a state of annoyance ever since then.

He had never thought that Heya was afraid of ghosts, but now it seems that there are clues.

After being surprised, Elvia prepared to deal with the resentful woman. After all, Heya was his subordinate and even more so his friend. He couldn't just watch him being afraid and do nothing.

"Heya!"

Just as he took a step towards the resentful woman, Zhou Zhou, who was being pulled by Qian Le, suddenly turned around. Qian Le was also running towards the first floor. Because he was still pulling Zhou Zhou, his speed was not fast. They were the closest to He Ya. It should be said that Zhou Zhou and He Ya were only one step away from each other.

Hea opened his eyes after hearing the sound, and what caught his eye was a bunch of ghosts held in Zhou Zhou's right hand. Facing collapse, he waved his hands around in an attempt to shake off the ghosts.

"Heya!" Zhou Zhou shouted again, and without hesitation, he let go of his right hand, which had been tightly holding the ghost. All the ghosts that broke free from their restraints floated towards the direction of the resentful woman.

He wanted to grab Hea's hand, but was slapped away several times by Hea, who was waving his hands wildly and had already collapsed. The sound of the slapping on Zhou Zhou's hand was clearly audible, and even Elvia, who was separated by a distance, could hear it clearly, which shows that the slap was very strong.

After trying several times, Zhou Zhou finally grabbed Heya's hand.

A small hand with a red and swollen back was grasping a big, rough hand that looked like a palm-leaf fan.

"Don't be afraid, Heya. I'm here."
