All the lights in the classrooms of this teaching building are turned on, from the first floor to the sixth floor. Therefore, the lighting in the classroom where Ruan Qing was currently in was not particularly noticeable.
Moreover, he was sitting in a position slightly off-center in the classroom, making it impossible to see him from the outside.
However, the footsteps are getting closer and finally come to a halt right at the entrance of Ruan Qing’s classroom.
As if someone knew there was someone in the classroom.
Any human would find this difficult to achieve unless they were constantly following him and Qiao Nuo.
However, if someone were truly following them, Qiao Nuo would have noticed it a long time ago.
So, there’s a high likelihood that the approaching presence was not human.
Ruan Qing’s delicate face turned a shade paler, even though he held talismans and the gun given by Qiao Nuo in his hand. In his heart, an undeniable sense of fear and apprehension arose.
It’s the fear of the unknown.
Ruan Qing had thought about calling others for help, but in this ghost domain, except for Qiao Nuo’s phone, it seemed like no one else’s phone could be reached.
And the situation on Qiao Nuo’s end was also unknown.
If Qiao Nuo was in an urgent situation, calling for help would undoubtedly impact him, possibly even endangering his life.
So Ruan Qing didn’t make that call, just tightly gripping the gun in his hand, aiming at the doorway where the footsteps stopped, then gently pressing the trigger.
Once there’s any danger, he could immediately pull the trigger.
Perhaps because Ruan Qing’s attention was entirely focused on the footsteps outside the classroom, he didn’t notice that the black cat that had been close to him just moments ago had disappeared without a trace.
“Squeak!” The classroom door slowly opened, and a familiar figure walked in.
It’s... Shen Yu’an.
***
The First University had long been plunged into silence after the second power outage, radiating danger and ominousness everywhere. Being alone in this situation was almost equivalent to death.
Because the ghost domain was a paradise for ghosts and a hell for humans.
After Shen Yu’an opened the door, he looked towards the young man in the middle of the classroom.
The young man seemed out of place in the entire classroom. His appearance was delicate, his body was slender and delicate, and the hand holding the gun was trembling slightly, exuding a sense of brokenness, making people inexplicably feel a bit of pity.
He also made it impossible for people to take their eyes off him.
The young man seemed like he should live in a castle, naturally adored by everyone.
It also made one want to hide him away, allowing him to only see themselves.
Shen Yu’an concealed the expression in his eyes, as if he hadn’t noticed the gun in Ruan Qing’s hand. He showed a faint smile to the young man and spoke in a gentlemanly and elegant manner, “Good evening, Student Xia.”
Ruan Qing, upon realizing that the person coming in was Shen Yu’an, widened his eyes and instinctively took two steps back.
Even though Shen Yu’an had a smile on his face, Ruan Qing didn’t put down the gun in his hands.
After all, it was still unknown whether Shen Yu’an was truly human, and he must have some connection with the pen spirit.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have killed Cheng Mingzhe, nor would he have appeared in that abandoned building.
Moreover, since the incident where Shen Yu’an was splashed with water, he had ignored all of Shen Yu’an’s calls and messages. The other was definitely not as calm and gentle as he appeared.
This was evident from his imposing footsteps.
Shen Yu’an paid no attention to Ruan Qing’s vigilance and fear, slowly approaching him.
“Don’t come any closer!” Ruan Qing shivered, watching the approaching man with hands tightly gripping the gun, threateningly speaking, “Don’t come any closer! I’ll fire the gun!”
However, Shen Yu’an’s steps didn’t pause for a moment, still moving steadily towards Ruan Qing.
“I really will fire the gun!”
However, due to the unease and fear evident on his face, the slight redness at the corners of his eyes, and even his voice trembling with fear, he lacked any intimidation.
Instead, he just appeared cute.
When vulnerability reached a certain point, even threats can appear endearing to others.
Like a little kitten scared by its owner, even if it showed its tiny claws, it couldn’t cause any harm to the owner, appearing incredibly adorable instead.
Making the owner want to tease it even more.
Especially when the little kitten itself didn’t realize it, thinking that holding a powerful weapon could make itself strong.
Shen Yu’an glanced at the gun in the young man’s hand, couldn’t help but chuckle lightly, and continued to walk without any hesitation in his footsteps.
The posture seemed as if Shen Yu’an didn’t care at all whether Ruan Qing would fire the gun.
Obviously, mere verbal threats were ineffective; Shen Yu’an seemed completely unafraid of him firing the gun.
Was it because he thought Ruan Qing was too timid to fire the gun, or was it because the gun... simply couldn’t harm him?
Ruan Qing had a bad premonition because it was highly likely to be the latter.
Shen Yu’an was confident and fearless.
Humans should be afraid of guns; only a terrifying presence would not fear them.
Seeing Shen Yu’an getting closer, Ruan Qing’s hands trembled even more, and he almost couldn’t hold the gun.
He bit his lower lip tightly, almost breaking it. He closed his eyes and pulled the trigger.
A ‘bang!’ rang out, breaking the dead silence of the night, causing listeners’ hearts to skip a beat.
However, after the sound of the gun, the footsteps didn’t stop. Instead, there was a sound of something metallic falling to the ground.
As if Ruan Qing’s shot completely missed.
Ruan Qing didn’t aim for any fatal spot. Although he shot with his eyes closed, according to Shen Yu’an’s direction, he should have hit.
Unless Shen Yu’an’s speed was so fast that he dodged the bullet.
But the problem was, Ruan Qing didn’t hear any sound of Shen Yu’an dodging. The footsteps continued at the same pace without any pause.
Ruan Qing’s heart sank uncontrollably. He opened his eyes with apparent confusion.
Shen Yu’an was unharmed, and the bullet he had just fired was mysteriously on the ground not far from Shen Yu’an.
Ruan Qing’s eyes widened, a hint of disbelief and fear in them. Without hesitation, he aimed at Shen Yu’an’s shoulder and fired the gun again.
The bullet aimed at Shen Yu’an’s shoulder.
However, when the bullet touched Shen Yu’an, it seemed to be blocked by some invisible force, eerily staying in mid-air.
Then the bullet fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
That shot couldn’t even slow down Shen Yu’an’s pace.
Ruan Qing’s pupils contracted, and the hand holding the gun trembled even more. It was evident that this bizarre scene had scared him profoundly.
The next moment, he frantically fired several more shots at Shen Yu’an, emptying the bullets in the gun.
All the lights in the classrooms of this teaching building are turned on, from the first floor to the sixth floor. Therefore, the lighting in the classroom where Ruan Qing was currently in was not particularly noticeable.
Moreover, he was sitting in a position slightly off-center in the classroom, making it impossible to see him from the outside.
