Chapter 181 Guardian (Thirty-nine)
Since waking up, Su Zeyuan has been staying with Sheng Yegui. After a brief exchange, the two quickly reached a consensus and decided to go find Qiao Yuan and the others.
Because they didn't know where the others were, at Sheng Yegui's reminder, Su Zeyuan and he decided to search one place at a time.
At that time, they had entered a teaching building, but the classroom was empty except for the desks and chairs. Not to mention Qiao Yuan and others, even other people were nowhere to be seen. But even so, Sheng Yegui searched very carefully, even leaving no corner untouched, and Su Zeyuan followed his example to look for people.
The accident happened in one of the classrooms. Although the curtains were drawn, the classroom did not appear dark because the lights were still on.
The window was open, and as the two were searching, they could hear the curtains rubbing against the window sill after being blown by the wind, making a rustling sound.
Su Zeyuan and Sheng Yegui were searching separately in the classroom.
Su Zeyuan was originally searching very seriously, but unexpectedly, at this moment, his peripheral vision suddenly caught something.
It was a dark shadow hiding behind the curtains.
The shadow looked a bit like a human, but its proportions were very strange compared to a normal person. It was unknown how long it had been standing quietly behind the curtain. Although there was a curtain between them, when his sight fell on the shadow, Su Zeyuan still sensed a malicious gaze, as if it was staring at him through the curtain.
This feeling...
It doesn't look like a human, but more like a ghost.
After realizing this, Su Zeyuan's body stiffened and he subconsciously took a few steps back, almost knocking over the table next to him. The sound was particularly obvious in the originally quiet room.
Sheng Yegui also heard the noise he made, and quickly turned around and saw the dark shadow behind the curtain.
When Sheng Yegui came over while calling his name, the wind happened to blow the curtains, as if lifting a curtain.
But behind the curtains, there is only endless night and rolling mountains.
The faint moonlight shone in from the window, clearly illuminating the stunned expressions on Sheng Yegui and Su Zeyuan's faces in the classroom.
Su Zeyuan turned to look at Sheng Yegui, and said as if eager to find recognition: "Just now, there was clearly a dark shadow behind the window..."
But now there is nothing...
Sheng Yegui naturally saw it as well. Although he didn't know what it was, he still quickly hurried to Su Zeyuan and wanted to take him away.
But I didn't expect that at this moment, something strange would happen.
Su Zeyuan was staring at Sheng Yegui in a daze, when he suddenly felt his shoulders sink and subconsciously turned his head to look over.
A head was resting on his shoulder, and the other person's appearance was very revealing under the dry grass-like hair -
The rotten flesh on his face had turned outward, leaving only white bones. Where the eyes should have been, there were no eyeballs, only two black eye sockets that were bleeding. His open mouth still had a row of sharp teeth that were already against his neck. If Su Zeyuan moved a little, the sharp teeth would be able to pierce his neck and directly bite through the blood vessels.
A slender, snake-like neck, one end of which was connected to the head, and the other end was connected to a corpse outside the window that was stuck upside down on the window like a spider.
When he saw this scene in front of him, Su Zeyuan realized that he was not mistaken.
The head in front of him was obviously not a human.
After realizing this, Su Zeyuan felt a chill running directly from head to toe, and his whole body felt as if he was immersed in ice water.
He wanted to run, but the man's head was on his shoulders, and the weight was like a weight, preventing him from moving.
Su Zeyuan only had time to signal Sheng Yegui to run quickly. After all, it would be good if one of him or the other party could escape.
What he didn't expect was that Sheng Yegui still rushed towards him without hesitation, obviously wanting to save him.
The head also sensed Sheng Yegui's approach, and at first wanted to continue biting Su Zeyuan without caring about anything. But no one expected that when Sheng Yegui picked up a chair nearby and wanted to smash it directly at the slender neck, the head suddenly changed direction and turned 180 degrees.
The jaw of the human head opened countless times like a snake, and then swallowed Sheng Yegui in one gulp, and then suddenly retracted its head. At the same time, blood splattered, and some even fell directly on his sleeves.
Su Zeyuan subconsciously closed his eyes, not wanting to look directly at the bloody scene. When he wanted to continue chasing, he found that it was too late. Perhaps because it was full, the ghost quickly crawled away like a bug. When he rushed to the edge of the window, he only had time to see a black shadow quickly leaving.
Su Zeyuan naturally couldn't stick to the wall like a ghost, he could only follow the ghost's disappearing traces in the moonlight. Although he knew that Sheng Yegui was most likely dead, Su Zeyuan still searched layer by layer.
During this period, he also encountered other ghosts and barely escaped. After just a few steps, he ran into Qiao Yuan and others.
When Su Zeyuan recounted what happened, he recalled Sheng Yegui's death and looked devastated, but he finally finished telling the story with difficulty, and then said: "I'm sorry, at that time..."
His clear and pleasant voice was choked with sobs.
Song Yanchi's gaze fell on Su Zeyuan. He didn't have a very good impression of Sheng Yegui to begin with, so after hearing the news of Sheng Yegui's death, every time he repeated it, the corners of his lips would subconsciously rise a little, forming a sharp contrast with the quiet and dull atmosphere in front of him.
Tang Huan was standing aside, watching Song Yanchi's reaction, and felt a little creepy for a moment. After all, if he didn't know the grudges between Song Yanchi and Sheng Yegui, the other party's appearance really looked like he was possessed by a ghost.
She and Sheng Yegui were not very close, so besides sighing, she was more horrified.
It would be fine if what Su Zeyuan said was true, but if what the other party said was false...
How did Sheng Yegui die?
They... they won’t die like Sheng Yegui or Dou Yu, right?
She subconsciously looked at Qiao Yuan, after all, he was the only person she could rely on. But she soon realized that she was not the only one looking over there, but the people in the public's field of vision seemed unaware.
After hearing Su Zeyuan's words, Qiao Yuan seemed to be lost in thought.
[The process of encountering the ghost earlier was pretty much the same as what Su Zeyuan said. After discovering that there was a head on his shoulder, Sheng Yegui also hurried over to help. The ghost also temporarily gave up on Su Zeyuan and rushed directly towards him, wanting to swallow him in one gulp, but Sheng Yegui dodged at that time]
【？ ？ ？】
【……Then what】
[Didn't Sheng Yegui mention before that he had received training in this area? However, it was probably different from the fighting style of Song Yanchi. It was probably just for self-defense. But it was enough. The ghost wanted to turn around and attack again, but still failed, and knocked the table and chairs to the ground. Then the ghost seemed a little anxious because of several unsuccessful attempts. Sheng Yegui seemed to be thinking about how to get rid of the ghost, and signaled Su Zeyuan who was standing in place to run.]
[Su Zeyuan is still standing there... Is he doing it on purpose or is he just frightened?]
[Anyway, at that time, the audience in Sheng Yegui's and my live studio didn't know his true identity. We all thought he was scared. Someone in the studio even joked that his materialism was shattered and his soul had passed away before others. Sheng Yegui probably realized this, so he stopped signaling Su Zeyuan and ran directly to his side.
No one expected Su Zeyuan to take action at this time. When Sheng Yegui finally ran to his side and was about to take him away, he suddenly reached out and pushed Sheng Yegui.
[It turns out that it is true. Let’s do it]
[Yes, the audience in the live broadcast room said that he was frightened, but the speed at which he made his move made me feel more like he had planned it several times in his mind. Sheng Yegui's attention was on , and he didn't notice that he would suddenly make a move. He didn't even have time to stand firm before he was pushed off balance and fell to the side, and the ghost took the opportunity to entangle him.]
[I was also in the live broadcast room. When Sheng Yegui was taken away, he looked shocked. He obviously didn't expect Su Zeyuan to suddenly attack. But don't mention him. I, who was watching the live broadcast room, didn't expect it. At that time, some people who didn't know his true face thought that he had slipped his hand. However, because he suddenly apologized to Sheng Yegui before, some people began to suspect that he did it on purpose.]
[…After listening to the truth you told me and what he just said, I feel complicated now]
[Me too, until you said that, I still had hope for him. After all, what she said was too real.]
[So why did you kill Sheng Yegui?]
[What other reasons could a ghost have for wanting to take action?]
[The main thing is that Su Zeyuan at least never openly fought with the players before, and he even apologized before doing so, which is quite polite.]
[No, no one cares whether Sheng Yegui is dead or not?]
[He has been taken away by a ghost. The live broadcast room has not been closed yet, so he should not be dead.]
[Qiao Yuan and the others should be able to sense the problem]
[Anyway, Xu Yunchuan can definitely see it. I feel like he has almost written "this kid has problems" on his face.]
[Yes, and he can also tell whether a man is a scumbag from his face and palm. I also thought it was strange that he suddenly appeared again. Now it seems that he is not a Taoist priest. It doesn’t seem strange that he can still live until now.]
[Can you help me see if the person I'm dating is a scumbag?]
[Even if they noticed something wrong, their mission is still to protect Su Zeyuan. They can't just get into a fight with him.]
Su Zeyuan's eyes were still on Qiao Yuan.
Just now, Qiao Yuan had distanced himself from him, and he realized this , but in the end he did not move forward, but just looked at Qiao Yuan with guilt.
There was indeed nothing wrong with what Su Zeyuan said at the moment, but Qiao Yuan was still keenly aware of the problem.
After all, she had dealt with Sheng Yegui before and knew that the other party could not be easily killed by a ghost. She was afraid that Su Zeyuan had instigated this. Not to mention that she could feel that if Su Zeyuan had not noticed that she had found the bloodstains at the beginning, he would not have mentioned it on his own initiative.
