Chapter 175 Guardian (Thirty-three)
Qiao Yuan's gaze fell on Dou Yu in front of her, and she realized that if they had not seen through the fact that they were in a dream before, or had not found a way to break through that dream, the ending would have been the same as Dou Yu and the others.
Qiao Yuan also realized that there must be something wrong with Su Zeyuan, but their current mission was to protect each other, so Qiao Yuan decided to find Su Zeyuan first.
Her eyes fell on Dou Yu. Although it was a dream, the other party was more familiar with Changyao Middle School than she was. It would be great if she could bring Dou Yu along.
When Qiao Yuan asked her if she wanted to go with him, Dou Yu was in a dilemma. It seemed that Qiao Yuan was more inclined to leave. Although she could have the company of the player, the bathroom was a safe place for her.
And if she followed Qiao Yuan, her life seemed even more dangerous.
Dou Yu quickly shook his head: "Forget it, I'll just stay here."
"You should stay here too. There was a ghost chasing us just now. Let's at least wait a while before leaving..."
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Qiao Yuan.
Dou Yu looked weak, but surprisingly, she was very strong. Her slender fingers were like shackles tightly around Qiao Yuan's wrist, leaving red marks on it. Qiao Yuan had no doubt that if he continued to try to pull his hand out, he would not only fail, but his arm would be broken by the other party.
However, Dou Yu seemed unaware and just stared at Qiao Yuan. If you look closely, you can see that there are already bulging red bloodshot eyes on her eyeballs, beating like a beating heart.
Dou Yu now has only one thought in his mind.
She wanted to keep Qiao Yuan with her, she didn't want to be alone anymore...
"Stay..." Dou Yu's voice sounded again, with a hint of sharpness.
Qiao Yuan had already guessed that Dou Yu in front of her should be dead, so she was not too surprised by her abnormal behavior at this time. She did not show any abnormality on her face, but was just thinking in her mind how to get out of the situation in front of her.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, something unusual happened.
The light above his head seemed to have unstable voltage. It was emitting a crackling current and flickering continuously, making Qiao Yuan want to wear sunglasses to protect his eyes.
Although he was complaining in his heart, Qiao Yuan still looked around vigilantly. At this time, Dou Yu also realized the problem, looked around nervously, and then suddenly opened the door in front of him and ran out.
Qiao Yuan followed closely.
Dou Yu was pulling the bathroom door frantically. Even from behind one could sense her madness. But even though she pulled the door so hard that it banged loudly, there was still no sign of the door opening.
At the same time, there was a rustling sound coming from the sink nearby.
When Dou Yu heard the voice, he looked over nervously and then let out a cry of surprise from his throat.
Qiao Yuan had already turned his head and looked over the moment the voice came.
I saw a pale hand squeezing out of the mirror, and behind the mirror was a broken face.
Although Qiao Yuan had heard the phrase "I'm going to break" before, it was the first time he saw a person who was truly broken.
The other person's face looked like it had been thrown heavily to the ground, with broken glass all over the floor. Blood was flowing out from countless cracks, and the skin and flesh turned white, making the whole face look bloody. One could only barely tell that it seemed to be a boy, with slightly longer hair, reaching the length of the neck, but now it was stuck together because of the blood.
Dou Yu looked horrified: "It's...it's Fatty!"
"But he was clearly in the men's restroom when he was dragged into the glass..."
She still clearly remembered that she wanted to know why she couldn't leave the dungeon. After she talked to the system but got no response, several male players went into the men's bathroom, while the female players stayed at the door to keep watch. When they were about to leave after the investigation, Fatty was suddenly pulled in by a hand that stretched out from the mirror in front of the sink.
Although Fat Brother’s nickname contains the word “fat”, he is actually very thin. Before everyone could react, his thin figure had disappeared before their eyes.
Qiao Yuan: "They have all become ghosts, and there is no longer any concept of gender difference."
Dou Yu: “…”
What Qiao Yuan said made sense, which made her originally frightened mood pause. She stopped screaming, completely unaware that the ghosts Qiao Yuan was talking about also included her.
Qiao Yuan had already guessed the way to deal with the ghost in front of her from Dou Yu's words. Her eyes fell on the mop used for cleaning in the corner. She picked it up directly, and then, while the ghost was still trying to get out, she smashed it heavily on the mirror.
The mirror trembled, and the ghost also noticed the movement. It turned its head and stared at Qiao Yuan with its broken face. It was not known whether it was because its eyes were originally covered with bloodshot, or because the blood-stained eyes were staring at her viciously, but its pale hand changed direction and attacked Qiao Yuan directly.
Qiao Yuan dodged for a moment, and then continued to bang the mirror. After a few hits, the mirror in front of him finally cracked, and the ghost with a strong aura of resentment also turned into pieces along with the mirror.
Qiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, it seemed that if he died in a dream, he would most likely encounter something unexpected in the real world.
Dou Yu looked at the debris on the ground and quickly came to his senses. He noticed from the corner of his eye that Qiao Yuan was walking towards the door of the room and hurriedly followed him.
After this sudden incident, Dou Yu realized that hiding in the bathroom was not a good idea. In addition, Qiao Yuan's performance in front of her was far beyond her imagination, so she finally followed Qiao Yuan, even following him closely, for fear of being left behind.
Qiao Yuan also noticed that Dou Yu was following him.
Although she was basically sure that Dou Yu was a ghost, she was not ready to expose him. After all, she was likely to be the first person to attack after his identity was awakened. Qiao Yuan would not refuse Dou Yu's active approach, and she was ready to use this opportunity to try to get more information.
Qiao Yuan currently didn't know where Su Zeyuan was, so he could only try to ask Dou Yu. Dou Yu's memory was still stuck on the fact that Su Zeyuan hadn't transferred to another school, and she guessed that he should be in the class at this time, so Qiao Yuan quickly decided to go to the class to look for him first.
Although Dou Yu had said before that almost all the students were in class at this time, Qiao Yuan did not hear any sound of lectures from the classrooms on either side. For a moment, the only sounds in the long corridor were the footsteps of Dou Yu and Qiao Yuan. He could only occasionally peek through the louver on the door to see that the classroom was full of people.
However, because he knew he was in a dream, Qiao Yuan had anticipated the abnormality in front of him. After hearing the other party say that the noise would not be transmitted to the next class, Qiao Yuan was finally able to continue asking openly.
Qiao Yuan still remembered what Dou Yu had said before, so he asked, "Why did you suspect Su Zeyuan at that time?"
If it was before, Dou Yu might have felt impatient because of such an insignificant question, but when she realized that Qiao Yuan in front of her was a thigh she could cling to, she became more patient: "Because some supernatural events happened around him at that time."
Because the mission is to investigate supernatural events in the school, the first thing they do is to conduct an investigation in the school. During the investigation, they discovered Su Zeyuan, who was often involved in supernatural events, and naturally became suspicious.
However, Su Zeyuan was soon ruled out of suspicion. Dou Yu sat close to Su Zeyuan in class, so she had more contact with him. From her point of view, he was gentle and took the initiative to cover for her when she skipped classes for the investigation, and patiently answered all her questions. It was too normal.
After Dou Yu and her friends conducted an investigation, they found that Su Zeyuan did not have any other problems except that he was a little unlucky. In general, he was a good person who was consistent in his appearance and heart.
Qiao Yuan: "...Did the ghost say anything?"
Dou Yu asked back: "What else can a ghost say?"
Qiao Yuan tried to enlighten the ghost in front of him: "For example, why did you choose Su Zeyuan as your target."
Dou Yu suddenly realized: "Ah, now that you mention it, it is true. That ghost said that he thought Su Zeyuan smelled good."
Qiao Yuan realized the problem. The ghost disguised as Shi Jingyan had also mentioned this before. He didn't expect that Su Zeyuan had received praise from more than one ghost.
She previously thought that Xiang referred to the taste, but now it seems that there may be a deeper reason.
Qiao Yuan then asked, "Has Zou Lu had any contact with him?"
Dou Yu answered affirmatively: "Yes, the three of us are in the same class."
She was thinking in her mind that when she met Su Zeyuan, she didn't pay much attention to Zou Lu's expression, but Su Zeyuan looked at them as if they were meeting for the first time.
I just don’t know whether Su Zeyuan was acting at the time or he really forgot about meeting Zou Lu.
But what is certain now is that Zou Lu definitely remembered meeting Su Zeyuan, and even realized the other party's problem, so after hearing her words, she turned her head and looked at Su Zeyuan. The reason why Zou Lu concealed it was also very simple. She felt that hiding the fact that she knew Su Zeyuan was beneficial to her.
Dou Yu also realized that Qiao Yuan's questions seemed to be related to Su Zeyuan: "Why do you always ask him?"
"We have completed the mission. Now we need to find out how to escape..."
Qiao Yuan looked at Dou Yu who was a little agitated and tried to comfort her, "I just think we may have found the wrong person and failed to complete the mission, so we couldn't leave the dungeon."
"We can check Su Zeyuan first."
After hearing Qiao Yuan's words, Dou Yu's emotions gradually calmed down and he continued to lead the way for her.
In the following time, Qiao Yuan was still thinking about Su Zeyuan's matter and did not speak. Dou Yu was not in the mood to speak again. The man and the ghost walked forward in silence, which was very harmonious.
But not long after walking, Qiao Yuan caught a glimpse of an extremely familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
And that figure also noticed her: "Qiao Yuan?"
Dou Yu followed Qiao Yuan's gaze and when she heard him say Qiao Yuan's name, she couldn't help but be stunned: "Is this a classmate from your class?"
Of course not.
This time, Qiao Yuan was unable to answer Dou Yu. Her eyes were fixed on the figure that appeared in front of them. She never expected that Xu Yunchuan would appear here.
