Lin Mian's heartbeat was like a drum. With Shen Jin holding her mouth tightly, she could only whimper faintly.
However, her eyes involuntarily fell on Shen Jin's profile. His face with clear lines was still handsome in the dim environment, which made her heart beat.
She didn't know where she got the courage from, but she moved closer and quickly kissed Shen Jin on the face.
This sudden action made Shen Jin stunned, and a blush instantly appeared on his fair face.
He stared at Lin Mian with wide eyes, turned his head away pretending to be angry, and said in a calm voice: "Stop making trouble."
Lin Mian immediately lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong, and his eyes became evasive. "Okay."
She felt secretly ashamed in her heart. What had she done?
He actually still had the mind to take advantage of Shen Jin at such a critical moment.
She covered her face and felt her cheeks getting slightly warm.
However, before the two of them could recover from the embarrassment, a loud noise was suddenly heard.
An axe split the floor above his head, "I found you, hehehe..."
A huge head stretched out from the gap into the storage room, and the hideous face was full of an evil smile.
Lin Mian screamed, and the next second, Shen Jin pulled her away from the storage room quickly.
They ran through the dim corridors, heading somewhere else, trying to get away from the horrible monster.
At the same time, in another corner of the castle, Song Jiao was sitting in the room reading a book leisurely.
The maid who had turned into a monster still stood obediently by her side, pouring tea for her. "Ms. Song, please forgive my impoliteness now! Because the game has started, I can't maintain my normal form."
The maid's stomach was wrapped in thick bandages. The wound from below her neck to her stomach forced her to do this for fear that her internal organs would fall out.
Song Jiao raised her head and glanced at the maid, then waved her hand to signal her to leave. "It's okay, we don't need you to take care of this place anymore. Go and play the game!"
She didn't want to see such a horrifying scene while drinking tea.
The maid nodded gratefully, "Yes, I'll leave now."
She turned and left, feeling relieved.
I am now the most normal person among this group of people. The others are either missing limbs or have turned into ghosts.
She didn't want to scare the Ghost King.
Not long after the maid left, Song Jiao's room door was suddenly pushed open.
Three players rushed in, their faces full of fear and exhaustion. It was obvious that they were being chased by the ghosts in the game and had nowhere to escape.
Zhuang Ying saw the comfortable environment and various fruits in the room at a glance, and a hint of envy and jealousy flashed in her eyes, "Song Wanqing, why do you enjoy yourself here? We are almost dying!" Her words were full of dissatisfaction and resentment.
Song Jiao put down the book in her hand and gave her a cold look. "What does it have to do with me if you're dying?"
These people ran faster than dogs when the original owner was in danger, and now they are dissatisfied when they see her living a comfortable life. It's really ridiculous.
Seeing this, the three people just sat on the ground and said, "Since it's none of your business, we won't leave."
They planned to stay here, eat and drink for free, and avoid the danger outside at the same time.
Song Jiao frowned, obviously disgusted by this rogue behavior.
She stopped what she was doing and put the book upside down on the table. "Get out! This is not the place for you."
Her words were full of majesty and unquestionable.
The next second, the three people were pushed out of the room by a huge force.
They wanted to continue knocking on the door, but the door had disappeared.
Zhuang Ying and the other two people looked at each other, their eyes full of fear and disbelief.
Zhuang Ying's eyes widened as she looked at the vague shadow at the stairs, her heart beating as wildly as thunder.
Without any hesitation, she turned around and took the other players into another room, as fast as a gust of wind.
After they hid in the room, they dared not breathe, for fear of attracting the attention of the wandering ghost outside.
The time limit for this ghost catching game is set to three hours. As long as they can survive these three hours, they can escape safely.
But now, every minute is like walking on a tightrope, extremely dangerous.
At the same time, Song Jiao was like an outsider. She looked at the panic of this group of people with a playful smile on her lips.
She simply walked directly to the corridor, picked up a chair, and sat at the top of the stairs.
The view here is wide, which is perfect for watching this so-called "chaos".
At this moment, Lin Mian and Shen Jin, who had escaped from the basement in a panic, rushed up.
They saw Song Jiao sitting on a high place at a glance, and a trace of disbelief flashed in their eyes.
The axe monster behind them was wielding its massive axe, chasing them relentlessly. The two exchanged glances, then, in unison, dashed towards the stairs.
Soon he arrived in front of Song Jiao, and Lin Mian shouted breathlessly: "Song Wanqing, help!"
Shen Jin also looked at Song Jiao nervously, hoping that she could help.
However, Song Jiao just looked at them with a smile, as if she was watching a good show.
The axe monster behind him really stopped after seeing Song Jiao. He said respectfully, "Miss Song, the rules of the game are now activated. If you want to protect these two people, I can let them go."
Song Jiao tilted her head and thought for a moment, then chuckled and said, "I'm just here to watch the show, so feel free to do as you please!"
Her words were light and airy, but they stunned everyone present.
Lin Mian and Shen Jin looked at each other in bewilderment, feeling mixed emotions.
This Song Jiao is indeed a person who doesn't play by the rules!
Seeing that the axe monster was about to swing his axe again, Lin Mian and Shen Jin had no choice but to turn around and run away again.
Song Jiao was still sitting steadily at the stairs, with a playful smile on her lips, as if this life-and-death chase was just an interesting game to her.
There was a cunning glint in her eyes, making it hard to tell what she was thinking.
Zhuang Ying and the others in the room were terrified as they listened. They didn't know what was happening outside and could only pray silently that they could get through these three hours safely.
The barrage of comments came like an avalanche, instantly covering the entire screen, and every sentence sharply accused Song Jiao of being cold-blooded and ruthless.
There were a few comments mentioning that Lin Mian and his group had escaped before, but they were quickly drowned out by angry condemnations.
However, amidst the clamor, Song Jiao captured the subtle fluctuations of the system's energy as keenly as a cheetah.
A sly look flashed in her eyes. "Goodness! This world's system energy actually carries the energy of the World Crystal? How can we let this go?"
