Chapter 18: Good Night

……

Zhou Yanqing swallowed her saliva, staring at that dormitory without moving.

Huaiyou also reacted at this time, his gaze quietly watching this dormitory as well.

Zhou Yanqing asked, "Did you hear anything?"

Huaiyou walked slowly toward that dormitory, looked left and right, and his eyes actually lit up.

He quickly picked up a broom from the side.

He gripped it tightly; the mask headgear couldn't be used for a short time.

He still needed something handy; although this thing wasn't much—

It was still better than his bare fists.

What's more, he still had certain injuries on his body; as of now, this kind of short time really might not necessarily heal.

His back was still aching faintly.

The clothes clearly reminded him that just now, even if it was just a movement, if he had been a little late, the consequences might have been very miserable.

Huaiyou nodded.

Without too many words, he continued to walk toward that direction.

Actually, he really wanted to say that Zhou Yanqing was talking nonsense.

Didn't she hear the faint sound of breathing coming from that place at this time, or even the rustling movement sound; of course, this sound was extremely small, perhaps in terms of feeling—

Zhou Yanqing was a bit too scared.

So she didn't hear it.

Huaiyou said: "I heard the sound of breathing, come over quickly, don't stay too far from me; although the breathing seems to be deliberately suppressed, or it might be unconscious, I suspect there is someone inside, it could also be your friends... in short, I think we should go over and take a look now."

And at this time, when mentioning those friends—

In Zhou Yanqing's mind, the man and woman built into the wall suddenly appeared.

She asked with a slightly trembling tone: "Are those man and woman in the wall real? Do we need to call the police? They look like they've been there for years."

Huaiyou's hands paused imperceptibly, "To call the police, we have to leave here successfully first; we can't even contact the outside now, whether we can leave successfully is actually still an unknown."

Zhou Yanqing nodded, her fists also clenching lightly at this time.

It seemed like she was cheering herself up.

Finally, she slowly followed in Huaiyou's direction.

And at this moment, Huaiyou's brain was thinking rapidly.

A series of things that happened before passed through his mind in an instant.

The things around him appeared exceptionally clear at this time; the thick darkness seemed to become deeper, and he couldn't see anything in the distance, all a hazy expanse.

They were currently walking in the corridor, so the line of sight was very open.

Huaiyou was thinking about the things just now.

He had been able to roughly determine that the previous scene or everything he experienced seemed so real.

Even the pain could be transmitted.

But after truly opening his eyes later, he was sure it was fake.

Just like a dream.

But he wasn't stupid; that inexplicably appearing, extremely real dream might have some kind of ominous feeling for him.

He basically didn't dream before.

Let alone such a disgusting or even terrifying dream.

Of course, regardless of whether this so-called omen was true or false, he had to try it at this time.

You have to know—

That 【Find Them】 mission—

Couldn't be delayed for even a moment.

Because just now, when he repeatedly checked this mission, he discovered—

It seemed that because of the unreal feeling to a certain extent when facing what happened to him in the morning—

So he didn't notice a detail.

That was, behind every mission—

Actually, there was a countdown for this mission...

It's just that the time from the start to the end of that countdown was very small, and it needed to be looked at carefully to be seen clearly.

Just now, he didn't know if it was because he suffered that dream-like stimulation, so when Huaiyou checked, he accidentally discovered this thing.

Later, he quickly understood the meaning.

【Find Them】, the countdown for this mission had about 6 hours left.

Which was about the time of dawn.

If the mission failed, then the consequences of this—

Actually, it was already very obvious.

He would probably die.

So, at this time, even a detail couldn't be missed; since there was something similar to a prompt or even just a light sentence, Huaiyou had to go and see.

He didn't dare to gamble.

But he had to gamble.

Also, you have to know, the movie "Ju Yuan" actually had many series; since the software said loading into reality, it must correspond to reality in some way.

And for Huaiyou, the three girls among these four corresponded exactly to the content of the Ju Yuan movie, and the place where they appeared or were finally found by the police was actually in that house full of curses.

And it was in the mezzanine compartment on the top floor.

Everything he was experiencing now was simply a replica of this kind of thing.

Everything at this moment also happened to point to these approximate locations.

So Huaiyou also had every reason to suspect that the three girls were actually very likely still in the dormitory in front of him.

After all, he had just accurately heard the sound of breathing in the subtle movements.

Although very small and very weak, at least it existed.

Huaiyou also felt that he hadn't heard wrong.

Vigilance made him afraid, but at this time, it also told Huaiyou that everything would definitely not be as simple as the current world was developing.

The two processes looked extremely dangerous, but it seemed that they were resolved by him in a desperate situation.

But what he saw in the movie was not like this.

Although the protagonists also thought about resisting, it was futile.

When that kind of desperate death curse enveloped them, almost no one could escape unscathed.

And Huaiyou clearly knew that some things that had appeared so far hadn't appeared yet.

For example, the location downstairs.

Cats that died extremely miserably, of all colors.

But only black was missing.

Kayako had a kitten that she depended on for life.

That cat was black, but at least it hadn't appeared so far.

And the round black mark that only appeared near the stairs downstairs on the floor—

Actually, Huaiyou noticed it when he first saw this thing, but he didn't dare to say it.

He was afraid of scaring Zhou Yanqing.

Because this thing was very familiar to Huaiyou.

He had seen it in the real "Ju Yuan" in reality.

It was actually the footprint formed when Kayako was abused to death and squatted in that place; that color should be the trace formed after blood stained it.

Kayako would crawl out from this place at some point.

And kill the person she was eyeing completely.

This thing could completely be said to be a combination of resentment.

This was also the reason why he had to call Zhou Yanqing to come up together before.

Because Huaiyou also didn't know—

Whether Kayako would really crawl out? Or when would she come out?

After figuring out this point—

He had already successfully arrived at the door of this dormitory.

Huaiyou stared at the door of this dormitory with an expression.

He was very sure that the sound appeared inside here, but even when he arrived here, the sound inside seemed to have disappeared.

He didn't know what was going on.

However, Huaiyou knew that the more time he delayed outside, the greater the variables he might encounter, so at this time—

Huaiyou blinked his eyes without emotion.

His eyes reflected this dormitory door.

His complexion seemed to have changed at this moment, as if under the shroud of this dark night, it was covered with a layer of haze.

Like a dying person.

Zhou Yanqing looked at his side profile, and suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

Huaiyou felt that for a moment, he was more like some kind of monster.

But the next second—

Huaiyou reached out and pushed hard.

It seemed that it wasn't locked originally, so under this force, it was pushed open instantly.

The light of the mobile phone flashlight also shone in instantly.

The dark dormitory in front of him became clear at a glance instantly.

The scene inside was completely exposed.

Only to see on the floor in the middle of this dormitory—

Three girls were lying there, only it looked like their consciousness didn't exist.

Although their breathing was steady, it was too weak.

Their eyes were tightly closed, their skin presented an unusual paleness, there was a ferocious strangulation mark on the necks of the three people, there were even wounds on their hands, and there were bloodstains everywhere.

There was even fresh blood that hadn't dried yet.

When Zhou Yanqing saw this scene, she screamed instantly and rushed over.

Checking their physical condition with concern.

And Huaiyou was still standing at the door.

He didn't step in, but at the same time, Huaiyou's complexion actually didn't look good.

After looking inside, his gaze became dim, or rather—

Was it some kind of sudden realization?

He suddenly whispered hoarsely: "Good night, Zhou Yanqing, you guys should be fine."

The next second—

Huaiyou took a step forward, and in Zhou Yanqing's horrified gaze, he pulled the door over forcefully and closed it tightly.

Beep!

【Find Them—Mission Complete. The three missing girls were actually hiding here; as of now, you don't know if they are alive or already dead.】

Beep!

【Main Mission—Escape their death curse, start! Everything that follows will be desperate and terrifying; under the death curse resentment, can you escape?】

Beep!

【Mission Warning—This stage is the final mission, possessing extremely strong dangerous lethality, please reality movie viewers must pay attention!】

A black cat—

Suddenly walked out from the corner.

A child of about 10 years old suddenly appeared from the end of the corridor and pounced over quickly; the child's skin was terrifyingly pale.

From the ceiling, a large, large mass of dirty yet soft and long hair suddenly hung down again.

And in the shadow less than two meters to Huaiyou's right—

There was a black mark about 20 centimeters in size.

In the black mark, a pale, slender hand reached out, and in the blink of an eye, it had already grabbed Huaiyou's foot.

He stumbled and fell to the ground.

Subsequently, he was dragged into the black mark that looked like it was only 30 centimeters big.

He tried to struggle.

But it was to no avail.

That small piece of black mark, the moment it truly made contact with him in a real sense, had already expanded and enlarged suddenly toward the outside.

Like a wide-open mouth.
