The bear cub stood upright, using its body to shield Cheng Shuang, and warily watched its surroundings, especially the direction of the pig-headed monster.
The little girl brushed aside the short, stiff brown fur that was obscuring her vision and saw a glimmer of light. After the light faded, the pig-headed monster's large head was smashed to pieces, and in the pile of wreckage lay a pretty young girl.
The girl's eyes were serene as she fell into a deep sleep, her body gradually turning pearly white... until she completely disappeared, and the feathered arrow fell to the ground with a thud, also vanishing.
【The Arrow of Norns: The horn of fate has sounded, an arrow from which even the gods cannot escape. Will it be a blessing or death, purification or sublimation? The goddess of fate has her own plans.】
Note: Do not lightly shoot the arrow of fate. The weapons of the gods are not mortal objects for ordinary people to wield. Depending on the danger level of the target, it will correspondingly shorten your lifespan. You are not an immortal god, so be careful! One wrong move and you and your target will be plunged into a life of love and destruction in hell!
The filth and bloodstains on the ground seeped into the dark floorboards. Cheng Shuang walked over, her peach blossom eyes fixed on the clean ground beneath her feet. After a long while, she sighed softly.
"What? You've softened your heart!" Liao Yuewei's voice came, and a beautiful and mature woman walked in from the shadows. She pouted her red lips and said in a hoarse voice, "Only when it completely 'disappears' can we find the right exit with peace of mind."
"No soft heart!" The little girl glanced at her with envy and jealousy. "I hate the rich!"
Liao Yuewei was taken aback, then chuckled affectionately, "How childish! Remember, your safety is priceless!"
Cheng Shuang scratched her head shyly, pulled over the bespectacled girl who was sneaking closer, and asked, "Where is the library's exit?"
“No need to ask it.” Liao Yuewei answered first. She seemed to distrust the girl with glasses. She pulled Cheng Shuang’s hand to separate the human and the ghost. “We have completely passed this level. I predict that once we get out of the door, we can return to normal. Of course, we may need to solve each level one by one.”
The girl with glasses flashed her non-prescription lenses and glared at Liao Yuewei with displeasure. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a scolding voice, "Shut up! Don't think I don't know what you're up to, trying to use us to escape this godforsaken place, ptooey!"
Liao Yuewei sneered, "You'd better shut up. This isn't your place to speak! I have one card that can ward off ghosts, and I have a second one. Don't even think about getting any advantage from me!"
The girl with glasses immediately showed a resentful expression and actually shut up. She slumped down in the spot closest to the little girl, not getting any closer, but just blinking her watery eyes and staring quietly at Cheng Shuang.
"Let's go! Let's not stay here!" Cheng Shuang rubbed her arms, clearly giving up on the idea of finding an exit in the library. She cautiously looked around. "It's getting colder and colder, and it's eerie. I feel like someone is secretly watching us. It's kind of creepy!"
Liao Yuewei snapped out of her reverie. "You also feel like you're being watched?" She lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment before decisively replying, "Let's leave now!"
Cheng Shuang, holding the teddy bear that had reverted to its plush toy form, followed closely behind Liao Yuewei. Her obedient appearance made Liao Yuewei's eyes crinkle with laughter. When they reached the door, she directly grasped the little girl's paw and whispered a reassurance, "Don't be afraid! I'm here."
The little girl blinked her big, watery eyes, silently revealing a hint of trust.
Glasses Girl: That expression... looks familiar x2...
It was the same corridor, and the entrance at the end of the building was still the passage back to the dance studio. After the two entered, the dance studio, which was already empty, became even more spacious, like a football field, because of the height difference. The tall mirrors on all four sides reflected many figures, each of them at a normal height. Countless tall girls looked at each other, creating an exceptionally oppressive atmosphere.
Cheng Shuang looked closely and saw that there were only two figures in the mirror, namely Luo Qi and Song Zijiao, but there was no image of the girl with glasses.
Difio's card possession effect had already expired when he entered the library. Now, only his pair of cat paws remained as a residual negative effect, which wasn't too abrupt. Instead, it was easy for people to mistake it for some kind of skill.
Liao Yuewei didn't ask, so the little girl naturally wouldn't tell.
However, in the mirror, Luo Qi's hands remained unchanged, slender and white.
Cheng Shuang stretched her nimble cat paws, and in the mirror, Luo Qi's hands flew about, her movements perfectly synchronized.
She frowned slightly, tilted her head to look at the bespectacled girl who was staring at her cat paws with a drooling gaze, and beckoned to her.
The girl with glasses approached like a ghost, reaching out to pinch the cat's paw, but Liao Yuewei slapped her hand away and quickly withdrew it.
The resentment in his eyes deepened.
Cheng Shuang, seemingly oblivious to everything, pushed the girl with glasses in front of the mirror and pressed herself against her, saying, "Sister, come and see!"
Liao Yuewei then exclaimed in surprise, "Ah? How could this be?"
"I don't know!" The little girl scratched her face. "Do you think if I put it back in, everything will be normal?"
"How come I didn't think of such a good idea!" Liao Yuewei smiled and patted the little girl's head approvingly, "It's worth a try!"
The girl with glasses trembled, her eyes filled with reluctance, and immediately rushed over to hug Cheng Shuang's waist and kill her, but was blocked by Liao Yuewei. Sparks flew between the ghost and the human, clearly they were locked in a battle. One was determined to charge at Cheng Shuang regardless of the consequences, while the other was desperately trying to stop her.
The young girl watched coldly, slowly backing away until she reached the changing room, then lifted the curtain and slipped inside.
The changing room is small, at most accommodating four or five people changing clothes at the same time. There is a single-person mirror on the side of the changing room door, which replaces the function of an appliqué mirror.
Cheng Shuang reached out her hand, and just as the tip of her cat paw touched the mirror, a voice came from the doorway, "What are you doing here?"
