The two stepped into the elevator, and the overhead lights flickered twice. Was it about to break down?
The elevator slowly came to a stop on the 7th floor, but the doors did not open. Shen Yizhou pressed all the floor numbers, but the elevator remained steadily at the 7th floor without opening the doors or making any other noise.
The lights overhead began to flicker, and with a bang, the elevator plunged into darkness. He Tiantian nervously grabbed Shen Yizhou's hand.
"Zhouzhou, what's going on?"
"I'm not sure, hold on tight and don't let go."
Shen Yizhou held He Tiantian in his arms, protecting her in the corner of the elevator. He thought it was just a normal elevator malfunction and that it would probably plummet vertically in a moment.
After waiting for five minutes without anything happening, Shen Yizhou suddenly felt uneasy. If this continued, they would definitely not survive. Had they come to the wrong place...?
He Tiantian hid in Shen Yizhou's arms, too afraid to move. The surroundings were eerily quiet, as if they were completely cut off from the outside world.
Just as the two relaxed their guard, the elevator began to shake violently. He Tiantian was so frightened that she hugged Shen Yizhou's waist. A dark vortex sucked them both in.
He Tiantian and Shen Yizhou were forced to separate, and both of them fainted at the same time.
A moment later, He Tiantian opened her eyes and found herself in a bed that looked like a student's bed, with mosquito nets and blackout curtains hanging around her. She could also hear the sound of the air conditioner running.
She carefully lifted the curtain. Outside, the sky was clear and blue. Below, two girls were sitting, playing with tablets in their hands.
He Tiantian looked at the scene before her in a daze. Had she come to school?
What's going on? Did it jump directly to the next game again?
With a "ding," a familiar female voice rang out.
[Congratulations, player He Tiantian! You and your teammate Shen Yizhou have triggered an early end to the previous game. Now, we will introduce the new level.]
[Game Title: Haunted School]
[Game Partner: Shen Yizhou]
[Friendly Reminder: Please locate your teammates as soon as possible!]
He Tiantian finally understood that she and Shen Yizhou had entered the next game ahead of schedule again. Was the last one because Xiao Hong burned down the village?
She suddenly realized something: if she stopped Xiao Hong, they wouldn't trigger the event; no wonder Xiao Hong had suddenly acted so strangely…
He Tiantian fumbled for her phone, which was right under her bottom. She opened Green Bubble and saw that Chen Yizhou was pinned to the top of her chat list.
[Tian: Where are you?]
He Tiantian waited for about 10 minutes but still didn't receive a response from Shen Yizhou. She panicked, wondering if he had shown it.
She hurriedly jumped off the bed, and her roommate, who was sitting down below, couldn't help but find it a little strange to see her so anxious.
"Tian Tian, where are you rushing off to?"
He Tiantian paused, startled as she put on her shoes. How did they know her name?
"Ah, I'm a little hungry, I'd like to go out and buy something to eat."
"Didn't you just finish eating?"
"I'm hungry again, hahaha."
He Tiantian laughed awkwardly, quickly put on her shoes and left the dormitory. She ran around the campus like a headless fly.
She had no idea where to find Shen Yizhou.
Just as she was getting anxious, her phone received a message.
[Zhou: I'm in the boys' dormitory in Building 6. Are you in the girls' dormitory in Building 3?]
[Tian: I didn't see it! I was so worried when you didn't reply to my message that I came out to look for you...]
[Zhou: Where are you? Wait for me at the library.]
He Tiantian looked at the huge library in front of her, never expecting that she would be here.
She sat down on a sofa in the library, finally able to catch her breath after running for almost half an hour.
Shen Yizhou rode his bicycle on campus and soon arrived at the library. He went inside and looked for He Tiantian.
As soon as he saw her sitting on the sofa, a girl came up to him and said, "Senior Chen! Can you add me as a friend?"
Shen Yizhou coldly replied no, and walked towards He Tiantian. Of course, He Tiantian also saw this scene.
How come Shen Yizhou is so popular wherever he goes?
He Tiantian was actually a little jealous. She glared at Shen Yizhou angrily, "Why are you like a butterfly?!"
Shen Yizhou was somewhat amused and exasperated. He hadn't done anything, had he? He sat down next to He Tiantian.
"I talked to my roommates and didn't check my phone right away, so I didn't reply to your message."
Shen Yizhou looked at He Tiantian apologetically; her hair was flying everywhere and all messy.
He reached out and smoothed her hair that was flying up.
"Hmm." He Tiantian was genuinely angry. Shen Yizhou couldn't possibly have missed the system notification that he needed to find his teammates as soon as possible…
She was instantly disappointed.
