Chapter 210: Babysitting 13
Yu Ke persisted for most of the night, but ultimately did not make it to the end. She lost consciousness at some point in the process.
When she woke up again, she found herself leaning on Lu Ye's shoulder with his coat on.
She was embarrassed... well, not embarrassed. Maybe she thought that having too many debts would not be a burden. She stood up very naturally, folded her coat and returned it to Lu Ye.
Then he thanked me as usual and asked about what happened last night.
Lu Ye held his coat and looked at the two brothers opposite him who were being so rude to Xiao Piaoliang. For a moment, he didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Nothing happened last night."
Yu Ke was a little surprised.
Another calm night? Could it be that the NPCs in this copy have healthy schedules and only like to get up early to do things?
After staying up all night, the faces of the other players became haggard, unable to hide their exhaustion.
Pu Qiwei yawned and asked Luo Chunxiao: "What should we do next?"
We can't keep going like this. If we do, there's only one way everyone will die, and that's sudden death.
Shi Caijun heard it and looked at Luo Chunxiao with trepidation.
Potential danger is the biggest danger. Just because nothing happens one night doesn’t mean nothing will happen in the future.
For the sake of his own life, he hoped that everyone would stay with him forever.
Luo Chunxiao thought deeply for a moment, and an idea came to his mind.
"Is it possible that the thing will only appear when the person is left alone?"
Upon hearing what she said, Shi Caijun jumped up immediately.
"I can't be alone, absolutely not!"
Luo Chunxiao: "Don't worry, I won't really let you be alone."
However, it is necessary to create an illusion that "Shi Caijun is alone" in order to lure out the thing hidden in the dark.
Otherwise, continuing to work hard will be futile and meaningless.
Luo Chunxiao made a suggestion.
The big guys were divided into two groups, four of them stayed in the young master's room to look after him, taking turns to rest and stand guard.
As bait, Shi Caijun went back to his room to rest alone.
The other four people were lurking outside Shi Caijun's room, providing him with solid support and ready to respond to his call at any time.
Except for Chen Shengang, no one opposed Luo Chunxiao's proposal. They thought it was feasible and decided to do it this way.
Seeing that no one else had any objections, Luo Chunxiao was too lazy to argue with Chen Shengang. He just said, "Then it's up to you," and pulled the other players to start dividing into teams.
Chen Shengang, who was left alone, was furious and helpless, but he couldn't come up with any better suggestions.
He was just simply unhappy. Why did a woman suddenly become the leader of the team? Everyone listened to her and did what she said.
Just a woman! Why!
No one cared about Chen Shengang's idea. Everyone got together and quickly divided into two teams.
Yu Ke, Lu Ye, Luo Chunxiao and Pu Qiwei formed a team of four, responsible for squatting outside Shi Caijun's room and waiting for something to happen. The remaining three people stayed in the young master's room.
Yu Ke has always obeyed the organization's arrangements and done whatever she was told to do. As long as Lu Ye is with her, he won't resist doing anything.
The two of them followed Luo Chunxiao and the other two out of the room in a friendly manner to implement their plan of waiting for the opportunity.
Completely ignored, Chen Shengang stood in the corner of the room with his eyes wide open. After struggling for a long time, he still didn't have the courage to go out alone, so he stayed in the room feeling embarrassed.

Shi Caijun returned to his room alone. After closing the door, all the hairs on his body stood up in alert and he did not dare to relax at all.
He first stood upright at the door for a long while, making sure there was nothing unusual, then he walked cautiously to the sofa closest to the door and sat down upright on it.
Time passed minute by minute, and the room remained silent, causing Shi Caijun's slight breathing to become heavier.
It seemed as if the endless wait was too torturous. He could no longer sit still and could not help but stand up and walk around twice.
When he returned to the sofa, he noticed something extra on the table. He subconsciously looked down.
That's a photo.
After seeing the monster with a human head to the power of n in the photo, Shi Caijun's eyes widened and he immediately thought of the story he had read to the young master.
According to the plot of the story, seeing the photo doesn't that mean the monster is about to come?
Thinking of the ending of the story, Shi Caijun's heart skipped a beat. He immediately took the props to contact his backers and inform them that the battle horn was about to sound.
However, he then discovered in despair that he was unable to move.
No matter how hard he tried or how anxious he was, his body just wouldn't obey him at all. He could only stand stiffly with his head down, unable to even pick up the props.
Shi Caijun recalled the details of the story in his mind, and couldn't help but break down his defenses, and frantically protested in his heart against the unfair treatment he had suffered.
The protagonist of the story could still run two steps after seeing the photo, why did he only take two steps? ?
But no matter how angry he was, he could only pray helplessly at this moment, hoping that his supporters would notice the problem in time and save his life.
Yu Ke was wearing a black cloak and huddled with Lu Ye in the corridor outside Shi Caijun's room.
Luo Chunxiao and Pu Qiwei also used invisibility props and hid on the other side.
As time passed, unable to speak and with nothing to do, Yu Ke's little head began to become confused again.
She fiddled with system 5488 and asked it to play a stimulating piece of music to wake her up.
Just as she finished her request, she heard heavy footsteps and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
[This music is not refreshing at all, it's actually scary. Can you change it for me? 】
System 5488: […I haven’t released it yet. 】
Yu Ke: […Ah? 】
She realized belatedly that the footsteps were coming from reality, not just in her head.
She looked up blankly in the direction where the footsteps came from, but saw nothing.
The corridor was empty, and the invisible footsteps seemed to appear out of nowhere, suddenly ringing in everyone's ears.
Lu Ye looked at the corridor, and his originally dark pupils turned into dazzling red-gold in an instant. His eyes penetrated the barriers of space and saw strange creatures that others could not see.
He raised his arm and reached forward, and the space began to twist and deform, forcefully tearing open a crack, allowing others to take a glimpse of the monster that was so close yet so far away.
On the human-shaped body, above the swollen head, there were twisted and deformed heads one after another. They were crying with miserable expressions, and their wide-open eyes and mouths were all black holes.
Such a monster was walking towards Shi Caijun's room step by step.
