Xia Wuyan’s words clearly indicated that he already knew that Ruan Qing was deceiving him, or perhaps he knew that this group of people was deceiving him.
Perhaps he had already investigated the background of this group of people.
Obviously, all of them had become his targets.
Ruan Qing’s voice was hoarse as he coldly replied, “Teacher Xia, my age has nothing to do with you, right?”
“That might be the case now,” Xia Wuyan lightly laughed, his tone very certain, “But it won’t be in the future.”
After saying this, Xia Wuyan once again handed over the rose, with an attitude that did not allow any refusal.
Ruan Qing lowered his gaze at the beautifully crafted rose, not daring to touch it. Perhaps this flower was no different from the little red flower. It was essentially a death notice. Maybe the shadow that sucked blood was hidden within the flower.
Just as Ruan Qing was about to refuse again, the advanced male player next to him spoke coldly, looking at Xia Wuyan. “Teacher Xia, please show some restraint.”
After saying this, the advanced male player took Ruan Qing’s hand and walked away.
Ruan Qing understood the meaning of the advanced male player and didn’t struggle at all, following him.
The intimacy between the two of them seemed like some special relationship.
The other players suddenly realized, saying, “Why are these two always together? So, it’s that kind of relationship.”
But it was a good opportunity. If this person named Xia Wuyan was really the boss, getting the boss’s protection might help them clear the game safely.
The players didn’t envy the chubby guy. Being liked by the boss might not necessarily be a good thing, as there were bosses who would kill you if they liked you. Maybe he would die faster than others.
Xia Wuyan stood in place, holding the flower, and looked at the two people holding hands with a dark and unclear expression. In the end, the corners of his mouth lifted, revealing a smile devoid of warmth.
And Ruan Qing breathed a sigh of relief when they were out of sight of the crowd, releasing the advanced male player’s hand.
The advanced male player paused and then let go of his hand, but after letting go, he clenched his own empty hand as if there was still warmth lingering on it.
Ruan Qing didn’t notice this and turned to look in the direction they had just come from.
The current situation was getting a bit complicated.
The group of players, many of them, had encountered that little red flower. It’s hard to say if there were any shadows inside their bodies.
Most importantly, if all the players were killed by bloodsucking, then the power of the shadow might become even more terrifying.
The time from getting the little red flower to being dead was about three days.
It’s highly likely that the shadow was hidden in the little red flower. Just touching it could allow it to enter a person’s body, or it might be hiding somewhere on the surface of a person’s body.
And it seemed the shadow required three days of incubation before it could completely drain a person’s blood.
This shadow was very likely the ‘gu’ mentioned in the instance clues.
There’s at least three days left, and Ruan Qing had decided to share the clues and speculations he obtained with the other players.
Originally, the players who were planning to investigate were stunned when they received Ruan Qing’s message. They couldn’t continue their investigation and immediately threw away the little red flowers, rushing to the gathering place they had agreed upon earlier.
Ruan Qing was already waiting at the meeting point.
The player with the yellow hair anxiously asked, “What’s going on?”
Ruan Qing explained while handing over his phone.
On the phone was the video he had copied from the monitoring room.
The players also understood how deadly the little red flower was. Perhaps there were shadows hidden somewhere on their bodies right now.
The players checked themselves with fearful expressions but couldn’t find anything unusual.
The players could only pray that they had thrown away the little red flowers fast enough and hadn’t been parasitized by the shadow.
However, everyone knew that they had definitely triggered the death condition. It couldn’t be as simple as just getting rid of the little red flower.
The players deeply regretted believing in the female teacher, who deceived them by saying that the little red flower was a souvenir that anyone who visited would take.
Not all players had taken the little red flower, but those who hadn’t still had grim expressions.
Because the more people died in this dungeon, the stronger the shadow’s abilities would become, and no one would be able to leave the dungeon alive.
The player with yellow hair reassured, “There’s still three days left. Maybe there’s a solution.”
The current time was clearly very urgent, and the players didn’t hesitate, deciding to directly investigate the situation in the building where Xia Wuyan’s office was located.
Time was of the essence now, and they couldn’t afford to delay. However, this time they couldn’t investigate openly like before.
Everyone cautiously avoided the surveillance and made their way towards the office building.
The players soon realized that there were many surveillance cameras at the entrance of the office building, making it almost impossible to find blind spots.
Entering from the front door was out of the question.
The players had to go around to the back of the building and attempt to climb to the second floor directly.
The second floor wasn’t very high, only about three to four meters, which was a piece of cake for players with good agility.
But for Ruan Qing, it was a height he couldn’t reach.
The advanced male player immediately lifted Ruan Qing horizontally, then with a running start, stepped on the first-floor window ledge and leaped up.
His movements were as smooth as flowing water, showing no signs of effort.
Other players were left in astonishment.
Could someone carry such a heavy person and jump so effortlessly?
...Could this person be some kind of expert?
The players didn’t have time to linger on that thought and immediately began exploring the building, avoiding the surveillance.
Since it was a kindergarten, the building wasn’t very tall, only four floors.
Players had already searched through all four floors, and there didn’t seem to be anything unusual.
Ruan Qing lowered his gaze in deep thought. Could he have been wrong?
No, there was definitely something wrong with this building.
If there was nothing wrong on the ground, then... what about the underground?
Other players exchanged glances and immediately went to the first floor.
Sure enough...
This building had underground floors, and the elevator couldn’t go down there.
But the stairs could.
Although it was broad daylight, the area beneath the stairs was pitch black, as if no light could penetrate.
After some hesitation, the players decided to go down.
However, when they reached the bottom of the stairs, they encountered a metal door that was locked.
You need permission and a password to open it.
The players checked the door, made of titanium alloy, and there was no way to forcibly break it.
Obviously, you need to obtain both the password and permission.
And these two things were very likely to be in the hands of Xia Wuyan.
The players all looked at the chubby guy.
Perhaps only he among them had the best chance of obtaining them.
The player with yellow hair cleared his throat and walked over to Ruan Qing, whispering, “Um... How about you make a sacrifice...?”
Ruan Qing didn’t understand, but he didn’t have time to pay attention to the yellow-haired player right now.
Ruan Qing took out a small knife, took a step forward, pried off the outer shell of the password input lock, and then reached out to the advanced male player.
Upon seeing this, the advanced male player immediately took out the laptop he had just taken from upstairs, along with a data cable.
Ruan Qing removed the head of the data cable and directly connected it to the exposed wire after prying off the shell.
After connecting it to the laptop, Ruan Qing took the laptop and directly hacked into the password lock.
“Ding!” The door opened.
Other players: “!!!” Damn!?
This worked!?
Of course, it worked, and it didn’t trigger any alarms.
Thanks to that group of perverts who always wanted to imprison him, Ruan Qing was proficient in various unlocking methods.
For a password lock like this, it’s very simple to modify permissions as long as there’s a laptop nearby.
Seeing the door open, the players didn’t waste any time and walked in.
The entire first floor underground was made of silver-white special materials and looked very oppressive.
It seemed to be some kind of laboratory.
On both sides of the long corridor were rooms separated by glass, which allowed for a clear view inside.
Some rooms contained various machines that couldn’t be understood, while others had various petri dishes.
And some rooms contained glass boxes with red creatures submerged in some unknown liquid.
Those creatures looked like some kind of insects but were quite large and had a blood-red color, making one’s spine chill.
And those red insects were the most commonly seen in this place, varying in size.
The larger ones were about the size of a person, while the smaller ones were as thin as threads, floating in the water, seeming somewhat indistinct.
Players stared in shock at the red insects in the laboratory, feeling a shiver down their spines and a sense of nausea.
What on earth... was this?
Could these be... ‘gu’?
What was that dark shadow? And what did it have to do with Xiao Xi?
Players reached the end, and at the end was a peculiar laboratory.
The laboratory was also made of transparent glass, but unlike the other laboratories, the glass in this one was clearly different, as if it had been specially treated.
Moreover, the contents inside were different; there were no chaotic red bugs or miscellaneous research materials.
Inside the laboratory, there was only one experimental chamber.
The chamber was filled with green liquid, with a human figure floating in the middle. Many small threads were connected to the figure’s head.
The figure was a man, extremely handsome in appearance, with features as if meticulously carved by the heavens. At this moment, his eyes were tightly closed, and his face bore a serene expression, as if he were merely asleep.
The man’s hair was very long, floating behind him along with the green liquid, as if black threads were flowing with his hair.
Not only black threads but also red threads, the two types of threads intertwined.
No!
The red ones weren’t threads; they were the same red insects they saw earlier, and those insects were... gnawing on the black threads!
Even though they were separated by glass, the players still felt their scalps tingling.
The players were probably watching very attentively and didn’t notice that there was a camera above their heads, silently following their every move.
As if it were monitoring their every action.
