So, Ji Zhiyuan’s first reaction after seeing the young man survived was that ‘he’ had taken an interest in the young man.
Ji Zhiyuan looked at the young man in front of him and solemnly said, “The ghost won’t let you off tonight.”
The blush on Ruan Qing’s face disappeared at these words, and his complexion turned several shades paler, looking at Ji Zhiyuan with a pleading gaze.
Probably due to anxiety and fear, his slender figure was trembling slightly.
Ji Zhiyuan was very satisfied with the dependence in the young man’s eyes. “You can stay with me tonight.”
“Is... is that okay?” Ruan Qing looked up at Ji Zhiyuan, his eyes brightening a bit.
In the reflection of tears, his eyes shone like stars in the sky.
What became more noticeable was the evident dependence in the young man’s eyes.
After pausing for a moment, Ji Zhiyuan nodded and said slowly, “You should know that night is the most dangerous time.”
“And your dormitory room is still the one where the ghost was summoned. If you stay there any longer, no one can guarantee your safety.”
Ruan Qing’s eyes showed panic, and he immediately nodded.
Ruan Qing was very willing to stay with the players; they would go to all the places he wanted to investigate for clues.
And if they acted together, it would definitely be much safer.
The two talked for a long time, the sun slowly being obscured by the horizon, its last rays disappearing into the clouds.
The sky gradually dimmed, giving the world an ominous feeling.
As if some unknown danger was waiting for everyone.
Nightfall was imminent.
Ruan Qing wanted to take his roommate’s belongings back first, then follow Ji Zhiyuan to his dormitory room.
But Ji Zhiyuan did not agree. He looked at the dim sky and said, “There’s no sun now, and the atmosphere is heavy. I can’t guarantee what will happen if you go back.”
Ruan Qing was too scared to go back. Holding the medicine in his hand, he obediently followed Ji Zhiyuan to his dormitory room.
Ji Zhiyuan’s dormitory was not in Building A but in Building B next to it.
The two dormitories weren’t far apart.
Moreover, Ji Zhiyuan was a student in the computer science department, a junior student, to be precise.
His roommate was naturally also a junior student.
And... they were all players.
Ruan Qing glanced sideways and guessed the identities of a few people.
After all, players were easy to distinguish from real students.
Just their vigilant gaze alone could tell them apart.
Because it was a supernatural instance, it was very dangerous at night, so the players all returned to their dormitories.
It was only then that the three of them noticed there was an extra person in the dormitory.
The three of them stared blankly at the well-behaved and quiet beauty, completely unable to react.
It was Ji Zhiyuan’s displeased expression that blocked the young man, and the three of them finally came to their senses.
One of the chubby players immediately approached Ji Zhiyuan and lowered his voice, saying, “Damn, Brother Ji, you’re impressive. Where did you find this little beauty?”
Although the chubby guy lowered his voice, Ruan Qing still heard it.
Feeling a bit awkward, Ruan Qing politely spoke to the three of them in a low voice, “Hello, I’m Xia Qing. I’m here to stay for the night.”
Xia what?
The three dorm mates were dumbfounded. Xia... Qing?
Wasn’t that one of the NPCs who played the spirit-summoning game with their roommate in the instance information?
The three of them looked incredulously at the breathtakingly beautiful youth in front of them, then simultaneously took out their phones.
They opened the video provided by the instance information once again.
The video started with a dormitory door number, then the camera turned to the inside of the room.
A candle was lit on the table, and four people were sitting in front of it, playing the legendary spirit-summoning game.
They carefully examined the appearance of the people in the video.
Due to a classmate blocking the candle, the person on his left was in the darkness, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
They had checked earlier in the day and found out that the person blocked was Xia Qing.
However, they never expected Xia Qing to be so good-looking.
So handsome that it made people instinctively breathe softly, afraid of disturbing the young man in front of them.
There were only four beds in the dormitory, and now that there were five people, it was obvious that the beds were not enough.
Three of them generously offered to give up their beds.
But in the end, under Ji Zhiyuan’s gloomy gaze, the three quietly climbed onto their own beds.
Ruan Qing initially said he could lie on the table, just for one night.
However, Ji Zhiyuan disagreed, and Ruan Qing eventually lay on Ji Zhiyuan’s bed.
Ji Zhiyuan sat on the chair below, tilting his head back with closed eyes.
Ji Zhiyuan’s bed didn’t have curtains, allowing a clear view of the others.
And as long as he moved a bit towards the edge, he could see the person sitting on the chair, eyes closed, providing a sense of security.
Ruan Qing curled up on the bed, then slowly closed his eyes.
He had actually been very tired for a while now.
Being in a horror instance, he believed the four people in the room would definitely be more alert than him.
Moreover, they likely had more means to deal with such entities than he did.
He might as well take the opportunity to rest a bit.
In the First University dormitories, lights were usually turned off promptly at 11 PM.
As soon as it hit eleven, the dormitory plunged into darkness.
Except for Ruan Qing, the others didn’t sleep at all, remaining vigilant around them.
Afraid that something unwelcome might appear in the room.
The most dangerous time for supernatural incidents was at night, as it was when Yin energy was the strongest.
Even though they were in the dormitory and hadn’t engaged in any summoning games, they dared not actually fall asleep.
Ji Zhiyuan had opened his eyes immediately after the lights went out.
He just tilted his head, looking at the young man curled up on the bed, without any movement.
The young man seemed to be very afraid and uneasy, sleeping towards the outer edge. Even if he sat on a chair, he could still see the other’s profile.
Quiet and obedient.
Time slowly approached midnight.
The world was in complete silence, with only the sound of a few people’s breathing in the room.
Ruan Qing didn’t sleep too soundly. Especially after the lights were turned off, he became even more restless.
Fortunately, he had slept a few hours before the lights went out, so he felt a bit more energetic.
Although Ruan Qing was awake, he didn’t open his eyes. He maintained his posture and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, Ruan Qing felt something was wrong.
He heard breathing, not from the other four people in the dormitory.
But an additional set of breath.
Ji Zhiyuan’s bed was by the window, and above was a window that could be pushed open.
The breathing was coming from outside the window.
But Ji Zhiyuan’s dormitory room was on the... third floor!
