Chapter 76: Rocking Chair

Wu Yan, who finally quieted down, also heard that voice at this moment.

He subconsciously wanted to ask, "Is there anyone over there?" But because his throat was still choked by Shi Yuan, he couldn't make a sound at all.

Shi Yuan's strength was just right, so that Wu Yan couldn't make a sound, and at the same time, he didn't suffocate to death.

However, he wanted to turn his head, but he couldn't.

Shi Yuan, Yukino Takekami, and Shen Ethereal turned their heads to look at the corridor on the right. At some point, there seemed to be a faint light outside the window, illuminating the corridor a little.

It was precisely because of these glimmers that Shi Yuan and the others saw that at the end of the corridor, there seemed to be a vague figure running towards the location of several of them.

The figure was almost completely submerged in the darkness, except for the right hand that seemed to have a slight white glow.

What is that?

The three of them thought subconsciously.

Shi Yuan immediately unfolded the Perception Domain, and then found to his dismay that the Perception Domain was still in a state of "failure", and he couldn't see anything except the four white figures.

However, even if he didn't rely on the Perception Domain, Shi Yuan knew that that figure could never be a living person.

"Run!"

Shi Yuan let go of his hand and said in a low voice.

They are in the lobby on the first floor, very close to the door, and they can easily leave the school building by turning around and running a few steps.

However, everyone was horrified to find that the door of the building had closed at some point.

In the blink of an eye, the figure had run to a distance of only five meters from them, and they could finally see why the figure's right hand was emitting a little white light.

It was a knife, a knife that was extremely sharp and glowing.

And the head and face of that figure were finally shown in front of them.

It was a "human" wrapped in strips of cloth that had almost his entire head wrapped, revealing only two beast-like eyes. The strips of cloth were stained with blood, and they looked shocking. The knife in his hand was still dripping blood.

"Ahh

Shen Ethereal screamed, turned his head and ran towards the corridor on the left. Shi Yuan and Yukino Takegami moved faster than her, and they had already taken a step and rushed to the left. Wu Yan also followed. He didn't want to be left here alone.

The footsteps of the four of them reverberated throughout the building, echoing with their heartbeats.

Behind him, the strange footsteps were getting closer and closer, carrying the whirring of the wind.

Everyone didn't need to look back to hear the sound of the "man" waving the knife in his hand.

Whether it is a human or a ghost, there is no doubt that it is extremely dangerous.

Of the four of them, no one had ever been to this building, and naturally they did not know the structure of this building. With the floor plan he had just seen, Shi Yuan vaguely remembered that there was a staircase here, which was also their greatest hope.

Soon, the four of them ran to the end of the corridor on the left, and the stairs were in front of them.

When changing direction and climbing up the stairs, Shi Yuan and the others turned their heads to look behind them.

Behind him, there was nothing.

But the strange footsteps continued.

"Don't stop, keep running!"

Looking at Shen Ethereal and Wu Yan who were stunned, Shi Yuan shouted.

The two woke up from a dream and continued to run desperately.

Ascending to the second floor, Shi Yuan and the others ran to the right. Over there, that's where the morgue is located.

Shi Yuan remembered that Yukino Takegami had said that the abnormal fluctuations were coming from the right side. Of course, that thing could be on the first floor or on the second floor.

Could it be that the mission item to be found this time is in the morgue?

Shi Yuan's mind had such thoughts.

There is often a certain correlation between tasks. For example, this quest item is an earring, which is likely to play a role in future quests.

Although there is no way to completely figure out the path of "that power", Shi Yuan guessed that it is completely possible if the corpse needed to enter the dark world and the treasure of this "game" are in the same room.

No, and not only that, the odds are quite high.

"Quick, go to the morgue."

Shi Yuan whispered.

Although the strange figure he had just seen on the first floor was gone, the sense of crisis in Shi Yuan's heart had not diminished in the slightest. He always felt that that figure was likely to reappear.

As he ran, he looked back from time to time to look behind him. However, the figure did not reappear.

Finally, the four of them arrived at the door of the morgue. Even through the door, everyone smelled a pungent smell.

"The smell...... Could it be formalin? ”

Shen Ethereal frowned, covered his nose and said.

"Don't think about it so much, the smell is a little worse, but we can't stop because of this."

Shi Yuan pushed the door, and the door opened unsurprisingly.

The strong smell violently pounded the faces of the four people, suffocating them.

However, the four of them suddenly forgot about the pungent smell and looked at the situation in this room in amazement.

The room was empty, except for a rocking chair in the middle of the room, and a person sitting in it.

The man had his back to them, his body swaying with the rocking chair, as if he was enjoying his leisure time leisurely.

The man was facing a floor-to-ceiling window, and the starlight shone in from the outside in, gilding the man's body with a layer of silver light.

Everyone felt a chill when they saw that person.

They didn't know why, because the man didn't seem to be anything terrible, just an ordinary person.

If they hadn't been in the "game" but had come to Haiyuan University of Technology during the day, no one would have thought anything unusual here.

Where did that chill come from?

No one has been able to answer this question.

Whether it was Shi Yuan or Yukino Takekami, they all had exactly the same thoughts at the same time.

If that person were to turn around, that face would be extremely terrifying.

The four of them stood at the door like this, and no one moved for a long time.

Finally, Shi Yuan came back to his senses, but he didn't know what to do.

That's definitely not a person. In such a situation, the best option is to escape.

But what if the treasure is here?

There is less than half an hour left.

What should I do?

Chirping...... Ga......

Suddenly, the sound of old furniture being moved reached the ears of the four of them.

It's the rocking chair.

The man slowly stood up.

The eyes of the four of them opened wider and wider as the person moved.

The man stood up, and very slowly, turned his body to Shi Yuan and the others.

He turned so slowly that it was almost as if time had stopped.

Even Shi Yuan suddenly had a curiosity that he shouldn't have at this moment.

What kind of face does that person have?

Slowly, slowly, the man was turning.
