They immediately turned to flee.
But the staircase in the corridor behind them had mysteriously vanished, leaving only a dead end.
Yuan Shen and Qi Dong had nowhere to escape to; panicked, they rushed into the restroom and slammed the door shut with all their might.
“Bang!”
The door was smashed open by a tremendous force.
The wounded girl, whose enemy was about to be killed here, even had a faint smile tugging at the corners of her eyes as she stood in the doorway, watching the two terrified people inside.
The sight of these two beasts, who had ruined her life, scurrying away in utter panic was truly laughable.
Yuan Shen and Qi Dong were pushed to the ground by the backlash.
Yuan Shen crawled desperately backward on all fours, eyes wide with terror. “It’s all her doing, I didn’t do anything! Please, spare me!”
Unfortunately, the girl gave him no chance to plead. One hand plunged straight into the man’s chest.
“Ahhhh—”
The man’s heart was pierced through.
Qi Dong, standing nearby, witnessed the entire murder and dared not move a muscle.
“Tomorrow night, I’ll come for your worthless life,” the girl said, gripping Qi Dong’s hair tightly—just as Qi Dong had once pulled her hair—“Until then, you can run as much as you want.”
Qi Dong nodded frantically.
The girl flung her to the ground and strode away.
The woman collapsed on the floor, hair disheveled, two tear tracks running down her cheeks.
——————【Memory Ends】——————
“Crazy, she’s really crazy!”
Qi Dong sighed.
There was no way out for her. This school had only two floors, and Shen Mosi simply wanted to kill her—leaving no path to survival!
Xunian, on the other hand, felt a sense of justice served. If she had been there, she might have even encouraged the top student Shen Mosi to finish Qi Dong off immediately.
After all, a calamity lasting a thousand years was best eliminated sooner rather than later.
It was worth noting that there was a discrepancy between Qi Dong’s and Hanako’s testimonies.
Hanako, in the restroom, had seen a girl with golden hair, while Qi Dong said she saw the black-haired top student Shen Mosi.
Neither had any reason to lie.
So who was it at noon—was the person the Duke’s Daughter Shen Mosi or the top student Shen Mosi?
Xunian guessed it was actually the Duke’s Daughter.
Because Qi Dong had seen red eyes, but the top student Shen Mosi did not have red eyes.
“As long as you help me hide and let me leave alive, I’ll reward you handsomely when I return to the Real World!”
Ran Feng was slightly moved, touched.
Qi Ye, standing nearby, had no reaction.
He saw Qi Dong’s response to the half-assembled photo Xunian had produced and guessed that Qi Dong might have taken it secretly.
He felt that someone like Qi Dong would turn on him even if he saved her.
Xunian didn’t react much either, just revealing a cold smile—smiling with her lips but not her eyes.
“Don’t worry, we’ll help you hide. Just tell us exactly why Shen Mosi wants revenge on you and what you’ve done…”
Qi Dong was about to speak when the classroom door opened.
“Oh, everyone’s here.”
Shen Mosi waved at the group but only looked at Xunian, a faint smile playing on her lips.
“Deskmate, class is starting.”
Naturally, Shen Mosi pulled out a chair for Xunian.
Xunian sat beside her.
Qi Dong, hidden behind them at a place no one else could see, curled the corner of her mouth into a curve like a poisoned hook, eyes flickering with a strange light.
Shen Mosi probably never expected that the one she was trying so hard to please, Xunian, had already betrayed her.
“Is this a self-study period without a Teacher?”
No teacher meant there shouldn’t be any trouble…
The Players’ moods finally relaxed somewhat.
However, they celebrated too soon.
As soon as class began, a rustling sound echoed through the classroom.
“Who’s there?”
No one answered.
Suddenly, a paper slipped and hit Ran Feng’s head. Angry, he turned around, “Who the hell is this, crazy?”
Qi Ye wore a puzzled look, quickly clarifying under Ran Feng’s murderous glare, “Not me…”
If it wasn’t Qi Ye, then who?
Behind Ran Feng, there was no one else but Qi Ye.
Ran Feng’s hairs stood on end. Having nearly been tormented by the Chinese Language Teacher’s ink last time, he wasn’t about to slack off and hurriedly opened the crumpled paper in his hand.
The sloppy handwriting read:
Give me your life.
“Damn!” He was so scared he threw the paper far away.
The paper fluttered through the air and landed right on Qi Dong’s desk.
“Ah—”
Qi Dong screamed in fright.
Suddenly, it was as if something had seized her throat. She desperately clutched her neck, her face flushing red, then turning purple.
“Help—help me—”
Xunian threw a book over. Just as it hit Qi Dong, the strange force released its grip on her throat.
Clutching her temple where the book had struck, Qi Dong looked at her gratefully and showed a friendly smile.
Accidentally, Xunian had gained a tiny bit of Qi Dong’s trust.
……
After class, Shen Mosi disappeared again.
Xunian knocked on another dormitory door, wearing a gentle smile.
The door opened, and Qi Dong stepped aside. “You’re here.”
Xunian went straight to the wardrobe, opened the door, and smiled, signaling Qi Dong, “Here, just hide in the wardrobe.”
“Really?” Qi Dong stepped inside, doubtful.
Xunian gave her a sincere wink, lying outright with her eyes open.
“Of course. When I played the Monster Tale Game last time, I hid in the wardrobe, and the BOSS never found me.”
In truth, she had never really hidden in the wardrobe.
“If anything happens, just call my name loudly.” Xunian instructed and closed the door.
“Wait, aren’t you going to stay with me?”
“?”
Qi Dong mimicked Shen Mosi’s pitiful expression, which made Xunian feel disgusted—she wanted to kick Qi Dong in the face and then slap her a hundred times with gloves on.
Was she really that repulsive all the time?
Xunian reflected for a moment.
In the end, she held back.
Better to just kill her directly than bother with all that slapping.
“Anyway, just call me if you need me.” She arched her brows, eyes glinting mischievously.
No matter what, she had no intention of saving Qi Dong.
Qi Dong nodded seriously.
Xunian mercilessly shut the wardrobe door.
She should go back to sleep.
Tomorrow should be the end.
Everything should be over.
Just as Xunian reached the door, a knife was pressed against her neck.
Behind her, Qi Dong held the blade to her throat, wearing a contemptuous smile.
“Hehehe, Xunian, you don’t really think I’d trust you, do you? You two bitchy girls are always stuck together—how could you suddenly betray me?
Do you know why I wanted your help?
As long as you help me, I can tie you up and use you to threaten Shen Mosi.
I can make her attempt suicide once. I can make her attempt it a second time.”
After Qi Dong finished speaking, Xunian slowly opened her mouth, her tone lazy yet sharp as a hook.
“Haven’t you heard the saying?”
Qi Dong pressed the knife closer, nearly cutting into Xunian’s neck.
“Villains die from talking too much.”
A flash of red light flickered in Xunian’s eyes.
