Chapter 89: Chunhuahua Kindergarten (Part 9)
Wang Xiaoyang felt that all the blood in his body was frozen at this moment.
The successive shocks made her unable to even scream, until she smelled the bloody smell between her lips and teeth, she came to her senses and realized that she had bitten the tip of her tongue in fear.
Fortunately, her legs seemed to have formed muscle memory and she stepped back step by step, trying to distance herself from the ghost. After she regained consciousness, she turned around and staggered forward.
Wang Xiaobing had never been a person who liked to exercise, and now that she had become a child, she was dizzy from running. The lights in the corridor seemed to have become much more dazzling than before, making it difficult for her to see the road ahead. For a moment, the only sounds in her ears were her own footsteps and rapid breathing.
Because she was worried that the ghost would catch up with her, she didn't even dare to turn her head and just kept running forward. As a result, when a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, she didn't react immediately. When she wanted to stop, it was too late.
The violent collision caused Wang Xiaoyang to lose balance and fall to the ground. Along with the pain came endless fear.
Is...is it a ghost?
Wang Xiaoyang endured the pain and tried to stand up, while looking up tremblingly. Fortunately, the person in front of him was not a ghost, but a human.
Her eyes turned red, and she almost cried out, "There's... there's a ghost chasing me..."
"Where is the ghost? There is nothing behind you." the man asked puzzledly.
She turned around and saw that she had already run some distance around the corner, and the ghost had disappeared without a trace.
Hearing the other party's words, Wang Xiaoyang was stunned, and mustered up the courage to look behind her. She could no longer see the corner where she had encountered the ghost before, and there was no ghost behind her.
It seems that the ghost has disappeared.
Of course Wang Xiaoyang couldn't figure out the reason and could only simply attribute it to the ghost disappearing.
Fortunately, although the man regarded Wang Xiaoyang's words as nonsense, he did not get angry. Instead, he took the initiative to say, "Did you mistake the shadow of the tree branch outside the window for a ghost? Other children often make mistakes."
"Don't be afraid, I'll take you back."
After encountering ghosts twice in a row, Wang Xiaoyang had long lost the determination to walk out of the building alone. When he heard the other party's words, he naturally nodded happily.
But she would never have thought that this would be the last decision she made in her life and also the one she would regret the most.
Ultimately, she was unable to leave the teaching building and was taken to another place.
There, she saw He Ze, who had been tied up like a crab. However, he no longer looked at her with disdain as before, but with despair.
He Ze never thought that he would end up in such a situation.
Because according to his previous experience, he knew that someone would die on the first night. In order to prevent himself from being the one to die, he set his sights on Wang Xiaoyang, who seemed to be chosen by the ghost, and wanted to exchange his death for his own safety tonight.
Just as he had observed, Wang Xiaoyang was very gullible. Not only did he really believe what he said about the badge, but he also wanted to follow him to find the badge.
Little did she know that her badge had actually been stolen by him first. Even if the other party turned the entire kindergarten upside down, it would be impossible to find the badge.
Wang Xiaoyang was indeed attractive to ghosts. After they entered some classroom in the teaching building, he noticed a ghost and quickly left on tiptoe.
The ghost did not catch up, but stayed in the classroom, which made him more certain that the ghost's target was Wang Xiaoyang and Qiao Yuan. This was also good. After Wang Xiaoyang died, Qiao Yuan was the ghost's other target, so he was safe anyway.
But he didn't expect that he would meet that person.
The other party did not touch him, but tied him up and soon brought Wang Xiaoyang over.
The two of them were like toys that could be manipulated at will in front of each other.
Wang Xiaoyang was pulled up by her hair. She twisted her body and struggled desperately because of the pain, but she couldn't shake the other person's hand. Her subsequent begging for mercy became background music: "Please let me go..."
"There's another person over there, go find him first..."
In the current environment, He Ze didn't even have the mood to mock Wang Xiaoyang's words. Only the fear of being on the verge of death followed him like a shadow.
At this moment, he truly felt that he and Wang Xiaoyang were tied to the same rope, and after she died, it would be his turn.
He wanted to close his eyes and not look at the scene in front of him, but he had to escape quickly while the other party's attention was on Wang Xiao. He could only force himself to look at the scene in front of him while thinking about how to untie the ropes that bound his hands and feet and get away.
Wang Xiaoyang's begging for mercy had turned into screams, mixed with cries of despair, and eventually gradually became weaker.
However, it was not known whether it was because the other party tied him too tightly or the child's strength was too weak. Even when Wang Xiaoyang was completely silent and staring at the ceiling with wide eyes, he still could not break free, and instead his wrists were rubbed raw.
The footsteps are getting closer.
He saw the other person reaching out his hand to him.
"I didn't expect the murderer wasn't in prison." Qiao Yuan recalled the information just now and finally realized what they had overlooked before -
The murderer who killed two little children.
One of the news reports had the murderer's last name and alias. Sheng Guiye searched the entire Internet based on this and finally found a clue in a reply to a post. The topic of the post was "What have you done that you feel condemned by your conscience?" The person who replied should be a medical worker, saying that he was taking care of a criminal. The criminal took advantage of the convenience of working in a kindergarten to kill two children, but died in the hospital yesterday. She no longer has to suffer the conflict between her conscience and her job of saving lives.
After using several key words and finding that the other party had the same IP address as them, they were finally able to confirm that this was what the person was talking about.
Qiao Yuan had felt that the malicious gaze she felt at the beginning did not match the two children's mischievous behavior. It was not until she saw the murderer was dead that she realized that the person looking at her was likely the murderer. After all, the timing of his death was also very clever. The previous behaviors were warnings from the two children, and they were likely a reminder that they were being targeted.
Sheng Guiye: “Yeah.”
Qiao Yuan: "We need to tell them the news as soon as possible."
She and Sheng Guiye were on their way back to find Wang Xiaoyang and He Ze, and told them to be wary of suspicious adults, or ghosts, appearing in the kindergarten.
Especially Wang Xiaoyang.
If the other person died, it would definitely cause a commotion and they would not be able to complete their mission of staying in the kindergarten for 48 hours.
Sheng Guiye was still spinning his Buddhist beads: “Yeah.”
Qiao Yuan: "So the system is waiting for us here."
The real danger has never been the children, but the murderers.
This time, Sheng Guiye did not say "hmm". Instead, what answered her was the sound of round things falling all over the floor.
Qiao Yuan:?
She turned her head subconsciously and saw that Sheng Guiye, who had been walking side by side with him, had stood there without knowing when. His usually calm expression now showed a rare panic. He tried hard to cover his wrist, but the Buddhist beads still rolled off his fingertips along with the broken bracelet and fell at his feet.
The Buddhist beads that Sheng Guiye wore were crudely made, and the string that strung the beads together was very thin. When Qiao Yuan saw it at the time, he felt that the bracelet would not last long, and under Sheng Guiye's overtime work, it obviously broke first.
Qiao Yuan knew that Sheng Guiye also carried Buddhist beads with him in the real world, and he also wore them in the dungeon, so it was obvious that they had special meaning to him. But now they had more important things to do, so she could only persuade him and go over to help Sheng Guiye pick up a few Buddhist beads: "If you can bear it, leave first, if you can't bear it, try to string them together with wire..."
Sheng Guiye looked up at her.
The other person's eyes were strange, as if he was shocked, or stunned, as if many emotions were mixed together.
Qiao Yuan paused.
She was interrupted by Sheng Guiye before she finished speaking. He suddenly became angry and even pushed Qiao Yuan's hand away: "Stay away from me."
The Buddhist beads in his hand rolled to the ground and Qiao Yuan immediately took a few steps back.
She was not angry, because doubt and vigilance prevailed at the moment.
Although she had only known Sheng Guiye for less than a day, he had always been reserved and calm, answering every question she asked. It was the first time she saw Sheng Guiye express his emotions so obviously.
What's more, when Sheng Guiye looked at her just now, it was as if he was looking at a stranger.
After saying this, Sheng Guiye squatted down with his head in his hands. His furrowed brows showed his pain, as if he was struggling with something, and the veins on the back of his hands were exposed.
If it were in the real world, Qiao Yuan would think that this might be rabies, but this is a copy world, and her first reaction was that the other party was possessed by a ghost.
In order to prevent Sheng Guiye from attacking her the moment she turned around, she retreated while observing nervously.
Just when he was about to exit Sheng Guiye's world, he put down his hand, stood up again, turned to look at Qiao Yuan: "Wait."
The tone actually revealed shyness.
This shyness was so hard to ignore that Qiao Yuan didn't even have the possibility to doubt that it was his own illusion.
Qiao Yuan retreated even faster, and even turned around and ran away.
It didn't sound like Sheng Guiye himself, so she withdrew first.
Sheng Guiye obviously realized that the distance between him and Qiao Yuan was getting bigger and bigger. He hurried forward and shouted anxiously: "You touched me, you have to be responsible for me!"
Sheng Guiye has always been a rather mysterious existence to many viewers in the live broadcast room. Therefore, after someone in the live broadcast room revealed his identity, in addition to discussing the dungeon, everyone also discussed him more:
[I am now beginning to worry about what will happen to my job and my mortgage if my boss dies]
[It's okay. I feel that Sheng Guiye is one of the few newcomers who remains calm. He has a good chance of surviving.]
[I always thought he was the kind of person who was cool and uneasy, but now I think he is just simple and doesn’t talk much]
[After all, he is only six years old now]
[He can actually answer his mother's questions. Mom, mom, I have questions too. Can you help me ask them?]
【? Where is your mother? 】
[She should be talking about Qiao Yuan’s mother, hahaha]
[Qiao Yuan's mother was also curious about why he always wore Buddhist beads]
[Okay, let’s rule out faith]
[I didn’t get a definite answer, but that’s normal. I heard that some media tried to ask him before, but he didn’t even accept the interview. There was no chance to get an answer at all. Now at least one option has been ruled out.]
[Mother Qiao Yuan, can you help me ask if their company is still hiring?]
[Mother Qiao Yuan, can you help me ask him if he needs someone to take care of him? I don’t want to work hard anymore]
[Qiao Yuan’s mother can’t see your comments either]
So why does Qiao Yuan's father look unhappy?
【Family brother's position was taken away】
[Song Yanchi:? I can only be the one brother in the family]
[I almost forgot about this Qiao family member]
[Hahaha, it turns out Qiao Yuan's father is worried that Sheng Guiye likes Qiao Yuan. Who can tell him that his worry is completely unnecessary?]
[But Sheng Guiye is definitely not married]
[Let me reveal some information. My father and Sheng Guiye have some business connections. He wanted to introduce him to a rich girl, but he refused directly, saying that he didn't have time. Others also wanted to introduce him to a girl, but he blocked them all.]
【Isn’t this just an excuse?】
[…Then introduce a boyfriend? I heard that rich people have a lot of fun.]
[Someone introduced that it is on the verge of bankruptcy]
[xsHahahahahahaha, some companies have gone bankrupt before the weather gets cold]
[You don’t need to imagine my sexual orientation]
[So he and Qiao Yuan... were stepped on by Qiao Yuan...]
[Sister Qiao realized my dream and stepped on my boss]
【Support two people to be together】
[I think there is no possibility for him and Qiao Yuan. The fluctuation of his eyes when he sees the computer is greater than when he sees Sister Qiao]
[So, he didn’t show any surprise when he looked at Sister Qiao. Does he still have the aesthetic sense of a human being? Is he already a programmer?]
[? What is the programmer's aesthetic? Did we programmers provoke you? And the code written by Shanda is really beautiful. Damn, why can't I record it?]
[Can you slow down the cracking speed so I can check it again? I haven’t taken notes yet.]
[Okay, the above and above have already spoken from their own experience]
Although there were comments teasing Qiao Yuan and Sheng Guiye being together, since the two had only known each other for one day, everyone was just joking. What they didn't expect was that things would change drastically after the Buddhist beads that Sheng Guiye was wearing accidentally broke.
[Fuck, is Sheng Guiye possessed by a ghost? What’s that expression?]
[? Responsible? What did I miss? I have been here all along]
[Sheng Guiye said Qiao Yuan touched him. Wasn't this a live broadcast? Why did it feel like a part was omitted? Or was it the other party's hallucination?]
[It seems that Qiao Yuan did touch him]
【？ 】
【？ ？ ？】
【I am an adult, I can listen】
[Fingers of…]
[Now that you mention it, I remember it, but do you have to take responsibility for this? ? ? ]
At this time, Sheng Guiye had already caught up with Qiao Yuan.
Both of them were in the bodies of children now, and soon became tired from running. Qiao Yuan also found that Sheng Guiye was not possessed by a ghost, so he finally stopped and turned to look at Sheng Guiye, or who he was now: "You are not Sheng Guiye."
After ruling out the possibility of a ghost possessing him, there was only one possibility left for Sheng Guiye to suddenly become unfamiliar -
The other party has a dual personality.
Could it be that Sheng Guiye wears Buddhist beads to suppress this secondary personality?
Sure enough, the person in front of him introduced: "I don't have a name."
Qiao Yuan: “…”
As if he saw through her doubts, the man lowered his head and looked at the tip of his shoe: "I don't have a name. My wife will give me one."
"If you touch me, you will be responsible for me. You can give me a name..."
Qiao Yuan quickly interrupted him: "? I didn't touch you..."
"Wait, fingers count too?"
Although he couldn't see the barrage, Qiao Yuan's mood at this moment was similar to the barrage.
Didn't she just touch Sheng Guiye's fingers when handing him the Buddhist beads? Why should she be held responsible for this?
Hearing Qiao Yuan's words, Sheng Guiye didn't know what he was thinking about, and a blush appeared on his face: "This is the rule of our family. Men and women should not touch each other, but if they are touched, the other party will be responsible."
"I know everything. I usually practice cooking, chess, calligraphy, and close combat. I also dabble in household finances and learn how to be a household head..."
