CHAPTER 388: CHAPTER 371: UNLEASHING MYSELF, MEIREN CHU_1

Upon hearing Li Yibai’s statement, Keke immediately shook her head. "I didn’t draw the object that Yue Nu mentioned."

Guo Jimei chimed in after Keke, "I, of course, have no idea what it is."

Gu Mian casually claimed, "Anyway, it’s not in my possession."

Li Yibai’s face grew pale before he spoke, "Although I know you might not be telling the truth... I still hope you’re not deceiving me."

At that moment, Li Yibai suddenly heard a strange CLICK sound coming from Gu Mian’s direction.

He immediately looked toward the source of the sound, only to see Gu Mian striking something on the edge of the large door with a flashlight.

Gu Mian was currently wrestling with the hinges securing the large door.

He struck one of the hinges hard with his flashlight before turning back to say, "Thankfully, these door hinges are on the inside, and they’re much easier to deal with than the iron chains."

Li Yibai and the others widened their eyes. "Are you planning on taking the door off its hinges?"

Gu Mian spread his hands slightly. "Would this count as damaging school property? Never mind. As long as you don’t say anything, no one will know I removed it."

Li Yibai quietly swallowed.

Of course, the rusty iron chains didn’t pose much of a challenge to Gu Mian.

If he hadn’t been considering the three unlucky souls behind him, Gu Mian would have pulled out his Saw long ago and cut these chains in two.

As he spoke, Gu Mian looked at the three people before him. "By the way, do any of you have a screwdriver or something similar? If we have that, we should be able to get out faster."

Guo Jimei replied with a troubled expression, "Why would we have something like that on us... Anyway, I don’t. Keke, do you?"

Keke also shook her head immediately. "I don’t either. But we can all hit the hinges with our flashlights. They look like they’ve been rusted for a long time."

「At this moment, Pan Yue had returned to the school.」

Her home was very close to the school, so it hadn’t taken her long.

The school gates wouldn’t be open for her at one in the morning.

Fortunately, the gateman on duty was sound asleep. Pan Yue climbed over the low railing beside the gate and quickly ran towards the classroom where they had once played the game.

As Pan Yue ran frantically up the stairs, she thought, Lin Qi has already killed someone tonight, so the other ghosts definitely wouldn’t dare to kill recklessly! If they’ve already figured out each other’s identities... if we guess the ghost wrong again tonight, we’ll have almost no chance of winning. We’ll all die! I have to tell them Lin Qi is the ghost! But first, I need to go to the classroom and see if that video is real! I hope they’re all still in the dormitory...

The tears that had welled in Li Wentao’s eyes just before his death the previous night were still vivid in Pan Yue’s memory, making her scalp tingle whenever she recalled it.

Can’t pick the wrong one again, can’t pick the wrong one again!

She was quite fast and arrived at the classroom door in no time.

The classroom door was tightly closed, with light seeping through the crack beneath it.

Looking at the light seeping out from inside, Pan Yue felt a chill run down her spine.

Without much hesitation, Pan Yue reached out and pushed open the door.

However, the scene behind the door almost made her rush downstairs to wake the sleeping gateman at the school entrance.

Two Yue Nus were lying on the floor.

The shock of seeing two identical corpses with her own eyes was far greater than seeing them in the video.

Besides, in the video, at least one of them had been alive.

Before her now lay two identical bodies in a pool of blood.

Pan Yue’s mind went blank. Countless thoughts swirled in her head, and in an instant, she had conjured up numerous possibilities.

Her mind, still struggling to function, dutifully filtered out the most likely scenario of what had happened.

The second Yue Nu must have been killed by that shadow following her!

But why are there two Yue Nus? And why did two people die tonight?!

Just as Pan Yue was struggling to process everything, a series of footsteps suddenly echoed from the corridor outside the door.

Who!

Pan Yue sharply turned to look at the door.

There shouldn’t be a soul in the academic building at this hour of the night.

The footsteps, however, were alarmingly clear, sounding as if they were right in front of her. Pan Yue didn’t even have time to find a hiding spot before a dark figure appeared in the doorway.

"Who!" The moment she saw the figure, she shivered violently and yelled at the door.

Chu Changge’s gaze swept past the two Yue Nu corpses on the floor before settling on Pan Yue, who had been missing for a day. "What are you doing here?"

Upon seeing who it was, Pan Yue relaxed for a moment, but then immediately became alert again.

She still remembered that creepy face in the doorway from the video, when Yue Nu was putting down her phone.

Moreover, a normal person seeing this scene would first ask about the corpses, right? They’d ask if I was the one who killed them. Many misunderstandings are caused this way, but she felt that Meiren Chu before her completely precluded any such possibility.

Pan Yue didn’t dare mention the video directly. She hesitated for a moment before stammering, "I... I wanted to come back and join you all. I was passing by this building and saw the classroom light was still on, so I came up. What about you? Why are you here too?"

At this moment, Pan Yue desperately wanted to question the identity of the person before her, even to fire off a string of questions like, "How can you see two Yue Nu corpses and not react?" "Did you kill them?" "Why were you secretly trailing Yue Nu during the day?"

But she swallowed her words.

Staring at the expressionless face of the boy in the doorway, she felt increasingly unnerved.

Would a normal person react like this upon seeing corpses? Especially two identical corpses. Is he a ghost? He must be a ghost, right?

Chu Changge glanced at the two corpses on the floor again. "I also saw the light was on, so I came up to check. You don’t need to look at me like that. Before nightfall, we all knew Yue Nu would die tonight, so it’s not that surprising."

"Why?" Pan Yue widened her eyes.

Chu Changge glanced at her again. "Because her behavior today was too conspicuous. If I were a ghost, I would have killed her first."

Hearing this, Pan Yue shuddered. "I wasn’t with you all today, so I don’t know how Yue Nu was behaving... But did you see? There are two identical Yue Nu corpses on the ground. Aren’t you surprised? Why do you have zero reaction?"

Chu Changge turned his gaze to the two corpses on the ground.

Instance players naturally possessed some strange and special items. That’s why other instance players wouldn’t find two Yue Nus particularly strange, though most would feign fear for appearance’s sake. If Gu Mian were present, he might have told Chu Changge to get a grip on his expression. Unfortunately, Gu Mian wasn’t here. Chu Changge’s usual impassivity took complete hold, his face remaining utterly still and devoid of expression.

Chu Changge didn’t plan on spending time explaining the global game and special items to Pan Yue, even though the instance didn’t prohibit them from doing so.

He didn’t answer Pan Yue’s question. Instead, he glanced at Pan Yue, then walked towards Yue Nu’s corpse. "There should still be useful items on her."
