The players in the dormitory room immediately looked around with a terrified expression, as if trying to see if something that shouldn’t be there had appeared in the rooom.
The sound frightened Ruan Qing, instinctively taking a step or two backward, accidentally bumping into the person behind him.
Qi Muran watched the person who was about to collide into him, and instead of stepping aside as he would normally do, he reached out and soothingly grasped the young man’s wrist.
Ruan Qing wore long sleeves, and the place Qi Muran held was actually just the sleeve, but the warmth transmitted through the fabric calmed Ruan Qing slightly.
It wasn’t that Qi Muran gave him a sense of security; it was the talisman from Qiao Nuo that provided that feeling.
Even so, Ruan Qing tightly gripped the hem of his clothes, his eyes showing vigilance and unease.
However, besides them, it seemed like there was nothing in the dormitory room.
The lights were on in the dormitory room, and as the players turned to look around, the shadows on the floor also swayed, making everyone’s hearts feel as if a hand tightly squeezed them.
Fear and unease spread.
The sound just now was obviously near them, but the players carefully counted the people in the dormitory room.
Not more, not less, exactly seven people.
And each person matched the name and face they knew.
The players had already taken out props to deal with supernatural beings, staring intently at their surroundings.
They even guarded against the people beside them, in case a ghost possessed a fellow player.
The bright light in the dormitory gradually dimmed, turning a dull yellow, as if veiled by a layer of haze.
As everyone remained vigilant, no one noticed that the shadow of the player in the black T-shirt on the ground seemed to distort under the light, behaving strangely and not in sync with his movements at all.
...As if something had disguised itself as a shadow.
Yet, none of the players lowered their heads to look, and so, no one noticed this scene.
When nobody was paying attention, the black shadow silently extended thick black tentacles, seemingly attempting to pull the player in the black T-shirt into the shadows.
But just as the shadow extended a thin tendril, it seemed to pause as if sensing something, then retreated back into the shadow, gently spreading towards the intertwined shadows on the ground in the corner.
Upon closer inspection, it seemed to silently spread from the shadow of the male player in the black T-shirt to the corner.
And that direction... was precisely the direction of Ruan Qing.
Even though the players were unaware of the presence of the shadowy ghost, the viewers in the live stream room could see that terrifying and distorted shadow.
[Ah, look at the ground! The ghost is in the shadow! Streamers, quickly look at the ground! Run fast!!!]
[I can’t believe it! This is too unexpected, hiding in the shadow! And when someone looks at the ground, it disguises itself as a motionless shadow...]
[What does it want to do? Why is it heading towards the beauty? Could it be trying to kill the beauty first!? (Terrified.jpg)]
[It’s quite normal. Ghosts always pick on the weaker ones. Among these people, God Mu and the beauty are the weakest. Who else would it go after? Don’t worry, because of what happened to God Mu before, Big shot Ji gave him a lot of props to deal with supernatural beings. He won’t die.]
However, these barrage messages were all related to the instance and were completely blocked in the livestream. The streamers could see only a few sporadic unrelated messages.
However, the players were currently vigilant, focused on their surroundings, and no one noticed the unusual increase in the number of barrage comments in the livestream room.
Although Ruan Qing didn’t see anything, he subconsciously felt that something was off. A sense of unease gradually rose in his heart, and the fingers clutching his clothes tightened slightly.
Due to his constitution, he was sensitive to stares with aggression and malice.
And at this moment, he felt as if someone was staring at him.
It was a chilling gaze.
Moreover, that sense of being watched became stronger and stronger, definitely not his imagination.
But when Ruan Qing looked around, no one in the dormitory room was looking at him.
Thinking back to the terrifying sound just now...
Ruan Qing’s face paled instantly, and the fear and unease in his eyes deepened. He tightly gripped his sleeves, and his slender fingers turned white from the pressure.
Ruan Qing tried to calm himself down. He had props, and the talisman given by Qiao Nuo.
Everything would be fine, definitely.
And there were so many players here. They didn’t seem to have the intention to run, indicating that it’s not dangerous enough to run yet.
Moreover, Cheng Mingzhe might have some clues on him.
If he panicked, he would likely overlook important clues.
Under the influence of hypnosis and psychological suggestion, Ruan Qing’s heartbeat returned to normal, and his brain became considerably calmer.
He tried to ignore the malicious gaze, carefully analyzing where the other ‘person’ might be hiding.
The players remained still, at most glancing around.
And there was nothing around him approaching, either.
However, the intense feeling of being watched increased, as if someone was getting closer.
Closer...?
Moreover, the height of the gaze always felt a bit low, as if looking at him from the ground.
As if realizing something, Ruan Qing widened his eyes, then lowered his gaze to the shadow on the ground for the next second.
Nothing seemed abnormal.
Yet Ruan Qing did not avert his gaze; he stared at a specific spot in a player’s shadow.
Based on his perception of the angle, height, and direction, he analyzed that the approximate location was in that direction.
However, after observing for a long time, Ruan Qing found nothing unusual.
It seemed like there was nothing on that spot.
Ruan Qing’s long eyelashes trembled slightly. After a few silent seconds, he lightly shifted his gaze away, looking elsewhere.
However, Ruan Qing’s peripheral vision was still fixed on the corner where the shadow was, though it was hard to tell he was focusing on that spot.
After an unknown amount of time, the shadow there... moved.
However, the owner of the shadow remained completely still.
Yet the shadow was moving towards him!
Ruan Qing’s pupils contracted, his face growing paler, as the shadow was now dangerously close to him.
Black tendrils even extended from the shadow toward him, as if intending to attack.
Just as Ruan Qing, with a pale face, was about to retreat, the approaching shadow suddenly stopped, then eerily retraced its steps.
Moreover, the speed was much faster than when it arrived, disregarding any concerns about exposure and carrying a sense of urgency.
It’s as if it encountered something terrifying.
