Chapter 25: What to Do If You Meet a Ghost? Kill It!

"Little Fatty, let's chat, don't be so scared. Come here, brother will give you candy."

Liu Yang's mouth corner twitched slightly.

Watching Wu Wang beside him coaxing Little Fatty like a scammer luring a child to a deserted place.

The most abstract thing was that this kid actually took out a piece of candy from his pocket.

Although Little Fatty muttered things like "Sister Chen said you are very dangerous," the drool almost flowing from his corner of the mouth did not lie.

He was truly craving it.

After all, one could not expect a small shop or the like in this Art Building.

Even the people here were unconsciously forgetting the discomfort that they had actually not eaten for a long time.

The dead feel no hunger.

"Ah, that's right, I'm not some strange uncle, just new here and want to ask you a few questions." Wu Wang's smiling face after seeing Little Fatty approach made Liu Yang want to call the police.

"What you ask?" Little Fatty's speech was a bit muffled with candy in his mouth.

Wu Wang asked casually: "Oh, I just want to know if there are any places in this Art Building that cannot be entered? I'm afraid wandering around blindly will make Chen Nan angry."

Upon hearing this, Little Fatty froze.

His eyes darting away as he muttered: "No... no, Sister Chen won't restrict your freedom."

Clearly, he was not good at lying.

For Wu Wang, who had studied "The Actor's Craft" and "Micro-expression Psychology," naturally he could very keenly capture this anomaly.

He narrowed his eyes and said word by word: "Is that place on the first floor?"

Little Fatty remained unmoved.

"Second floor?"

"Third floor?"

When mentioning the third floor, although Little Fatty's expression did not change.

But a sentence floated above his head—

【He is so scared he wants to run away】

Hit the mark!

I have to say, the skill of red vertical pupils seeing through the heart is quite unstoppable.

"Oh~ If Chen Nan has no objection, then I'll go explore the third floor~" Wu Wang deliberately dragged his voice out long and slow.

Boom—

The moment the words fell, Little Fatty suddenly lunged forward and grabbed his collar.

With a nervous expression he said: "No! You can't go to the third floor! There... anyway, you just can't go!"

"Why? Didn't you say Chen Nan wouldn't restrict my freedom?" Wu Wang narrowed his eyes like a hungry wolf staring at its prey.

Little Fatty did not answer immediately.

The two stood in stalemate for about three minutes.

That chubby body slumped down like a deflated ball, and Little Fatty sighed, saying: "Sister Chen doesn't know how dangerous the third floor is, no one knows, except me."

As expected, this Little Fatty was not simple.

Why, at the position of the Art Building's main gate, did Liu Yang see Little Fatty but not see anyone else?

Even Chen Nan and other existences could only be seen by him after he spoke up.

You have to know that at that time he was in a state empowered by red vertical pupils!

Since then Wu Wang felt Little Fatty had something wrong, but just never found concrete evidence.

Until now.

He could no longer act.

Boom—

Before the two could continue communicating, the entire building suddenly emitted a huge sound.

Followed by violent shaking like an earthquake made Liu Yang and Little Fatty sit down on the ground in one go.

About a minute later.

The shaking stopped.

Wu Wang then frowned and asked: "Whether this building is a shoddy construction project aside, are the others all Spider-Men?"

He noticed the other students not far away were still playing around or graffitiing the walls.

Just now the shaking, they seemed to feel nothing at all, standing motionless; strangely, even the water basin on the table had not a single ripple.

This earthquake was as if it targeted only them.

"We and they are not on the same layer, right?" Wu Wang couldn't hold it in anymore.

Discovering that Wu Wang and Liu Yang could also feel the earthquake, Little Fatty then explained: "Understand? They simply cannot feel the existence of danger; the guy causing this shaking lives in the broadcast room on the third floor."

Now Wu Wang finally understood why the other party was so timid.

It turned out that while others lived in peaceful times, Little Fatty had to experience the impact of earthquakes every once in a while, not to mention.

He was also constantly terrified of some terrifying existence on the third floor; he probably feared accidents in his dreams even while sleeping at night.

Because only he could perceive the danger.

So in the eyes of others, it was just Little Fatty frequently getting scared for no reason and hiding away.

"Do you mean you have seen that person?" Wu Wang caught the blind spot.

As if recalling something.

Little Fatty's rosy face instantly turned deathly pale.

He trembled and said: "That is not a human! It is a monster as bloated as a mountain! It wears many strange rings on its hands; every time it turns the rings, it triggers an earthquake!"

A bloated figure, a strange ring.

These two keywords made Wu Wang's expression turn somewhat strange.

He felt he had heard this description somewhere before.

"Damn it! That bastard Principal Wang is in the broadcast room on the third floor!?"

No wonder Old Man Yao said the other party wouldn't be in the office after twelve.

So he was in the Art Building!

The earthquake just now indicated Principal Wang was using the ring's powerful ability.

According to Chen Baili's description to him, the other party's ring possessed abilities such as time suspension, information confirmation, and spatial transfer.

Why was he using his ability alone on the third floor right now?

"If he's alone, he's most likely using the spatial transfer ability to leave the Art Building." Wu Wang's brain spun rapidly.

Was there something so important that Principal Wang had to use the ring's ability to transfer away?

Hey, wait.

It seems there really is...

————

"Damn it! Didn't you say it would knock them out for half an hour! Ten minutes left and they were eaten by a dog?"

"..."

Facing Tu Tu Xing Sun's cursing, Shi Gandang offered no reply.

Because this was indeed a mistake in his judgment.

He hadn't expected that group of ghost security guards to be so bizarre.

You see, in ordinary instances, that item could knock out any target except the BOSS.

As long as no one touched them or made a sound, whoever came would sleep for half an hour.

But that group of ghost security guards only slept for twenty minutes!

They woke up just as they were preparing to leave.

"Alright, anyway, we got the item. Now there are two choices." Chen Baili analyzed calmly: "Either go to the Art Building right now, or return to the dorms to hide for the night. We haven't been fully exposed yet."

Right now, the three of them were fleeing frantically, using all sorts of strange and bizarre skills.

For a moment, they put a considerable distance between themselves and the ghost security guards.

This was enough for them to discuss their next destination.

The former carried great risk.

After all, the mission was to catch the truant; after entering the Art Building, they would still have to slowly search for clues to find the person.

If the ghost security guards blocked them inside the Art Building, it would be game over.

The latter seemed to be the best choice.

The ghost security guards had not seen the three of them.

As long as they returned to the dorms and lay down to sleep, Chen Baili didn't believe they could be caught among the thousands of students in the entire school.

Tomorrow night, they could simply take the paint box into the Art Building and investigate slowly.

"I choose to return to the dorms."

"Me too, sorry."

Tu Tu Xing Sun and Shi Gandang lowered their heads and made their choice.

Hearing this, Chen Baili clenched his fist and squeezed it harder.

The latter was indeed the best choice, that was true.

But there were more than just the three of us!

Wei Wang Ren was still waiting in the Small Black Room to receive us!

The ghost security guards have already been alerted; they don't know danger is gradually approaching.

If we return to the dorms now...

It would be completely selling out Wei Wang Ren.

"Brother Chen, if he gets caught, he can even take the fall, making the school think they caught the real culprit, thus lowering their guard, which makes it more convenient for us to act tomorrow." Tu Tu Xing Sun comforted him, saying.

"What are you talking about!" Chen Baili questioned fiercely: "The clues were found by him, the Small Black Room was explored by him, the danger was triggered by us, and we still have to sell out the newbie to take the fall for us?"

But Shi Gandang stepped forward and blocked Tu Tu Xing Sun.

He silently said to Chen Baili: "Sorry, free players aren't as loyal as you imagine; profit is the only truth. I can make a concession; after the instance ends, you can take an extra share of the rewards, since it was my mistake in the first place."

Yes...

Essentially, they were just a group of strangers gathered to open an instance.

Apart from profit, they had no connection whatsoever.

As long as I could profit, that was all that mattered.

But...

I damn well can't do it!

Chen Baili turned his head and cursed: "Who cares about your little things! Now, immediately, vanish from my sight!"

The other two looked at each other in silence.

"Then what do you plan..."

Before they could finish asking, Chen Baili interrupted: "I'm going to the Small Black Room to save Wei Wang Ren! At worst, we'll lie down there together! You guys get back to the dorms! Cowards!"

Tu Tu Xing Sun frowned: "What if you meet a ghost halfway? You won't sell us out, will you?"

"Heh, do you think everyone is like you?" Chen Baili sneered: "What do you do when you bump into a ghost? I'll just crash into it and kill it!"

Boom—

The moment the words fell, a cloud of dust suddenly rose before the three of them.

A figure as towering as a mountain appeared within the dust, chilling the heart.

Principal Wang's voice, tinged with anger, came through—

"Who do you intend to kill by crashing into?"
