It wouldn’t be long before ghosts started appearing at First University, both during the day and at night.
It’s probably no longer safe whether or not one had come into contact with ghosts.
That’s why he didn’t directly submit the answer and leave.
He was really afraid of ghosts.
Even though that book gave him different thoughts, his subconscious still couldn’t forget that memory and fear.
But that fear seemed to have faded slightly.
The ghost he feared was the very existence that some people yearned to see day and night...
Ruan Qing withdrew his gaze and continued to walk slowly towards the restroom.
There were no surprises along the way, and Ruan Qing successfully dug up the bones in the flower bed next to the restroom.
When he was digging, a black cat appeared by Ruan Qing’s side.
Ruan Qing’s body stiffened for a moment, but the black cat did not stop him, just gently rubbing against his trouser leg.
Ruan Qing’s eyelashes trembled slightly, trying to ignore the presence of the black cat, and continued to dig up the bones.
Like the bones in the small grove, they were spotless.
Ruan Qing bought a backpack from the convenience store on the way, put the bones into the backpack, and took them to the small grove by Half Moon Lake.
Then he pieced together the bones.
He looked at the bones, still missing the leg bones and arm bones.
They should be in the music classroom where the pen spirit died.
Ruan Qing hesitated a bit.
The pen spirit was different from the other remnant souls; ‘he’ didn’t have a body.
‘He’ was a real ghost.
Moreover, ‘he’ was a ghost that could appear during the day.
But if that part was missing, the likelihood of the plan succeeding would decrease.
It only had a twenty percent of success to begin with.
Ruan Qing pursed his lips and ultimately gritted his teeth and walked towards the abandoned music building.
If something unexpected happened, he would immediately submit the answer and leave the instance.
However, it seemed that the situation Ruan Qing anticipated did not occur; the figure of the pen fairy did not appear.
Ruan Qing smoothly obtained the bones from the piano.
Without daring to linger, Ruan Qing ran towards the small grove by Half-Moon Lake, holding the bones.
The system observed the transparent figure trailing behind Ruan Qing without saying a word or giving any warning.
Sometimes, it’s better not to know.
Ghosts could naturally sense when their own bones were being disturbed.
As early as when Ruan Qing dug up the first set of bones, a transparent figure had already appeared behind him.
It’s just that because it was daytime and the figure didn’t show up on ‘his’ own, that’s why the presence of the figure couldn’t be seen.
If Ruan Qing were to hold a mirror to the figure now, he would probably notice it.
Just as Ruan Qing finished assembling the bones, he discovered two people standing in front of him.
It was Qi Yunshen and Shen Yu’an.
Qi Yunshen looked at the humanoid skeleton on the ground, tilted his head, and lightly laughed. “Classmate Xia Qing, what are you assembling this for?”
Although Qi Yunshen was smiling, there was no trace of the smile reaching his eyes.
As the young man laughed at the scattered pieces of paper during class, Qi Yunshen knew that something he didn’t know must have happened in the illusion.
The older brother didn’t win the young man’s affection, but he inadvertently sparked feelings in the young man’s heart.
This was even more infuriating.
Qi Yunshen just hoped that he misunderstood, but after class, he saw the young man busily digging out the bones.
Clearly, there was no room for misunderstanding.
The young man harbored improper feelings for a dead person.
Heh, even after death, there’s no peace; his brother was still causing trouble for him.
Indeed, it would be better for the other to disappear completely.
Qi Yunshen looked at the transparent figure behind the young man, his eyes extremely dark, as if containing a storm-like dangerous aura.
In reality, the figure was also infuriated. After ‘he’ suspected that ‘he’ had fallen in love with his own heart due to self-love, ‘he’ didn’t know what to do.
Therefore, ‘he’ directly unlocked the ghost domain, giving himself time to contemplate.
The result was seeing the young man smiling amidst the scattered paper.
Clearly, it was extremely cheap scrap paper, yet the young man laughed so joyfully.
Was it because of the scrap paper, or was it because of the person cutting the paper for him?
Without even thinking, it was evident that it was for that person.
Even if that man was a part of ‘him,’ it wasn’t entirely ‘him.’
Surprisingly, the young man even dug up bones for that man.
The figure was even more infuriated, not wanting the young man to touch his bones.
Yet, fearing the young man might get hurt by the bones, he could only let the young man touch them, sulking along the way.
So infuriated that ‘he’ wanted to open the ghost domain again without hesitation, punishing the young man severely.
Making the young man only see ‘him’ in his eyes.
But when the figure saw the gloom in Qi Yunshen’s eyes, he instantly felt much better.
At least, that man was a part of ‘him,’ as long as they merged, it would still be ‘himself.’
The figure arrogantly lifted his head after Qi Yunshen glanced over, his blood-red eyes filled with mockery.
Just like when he was still alive.
The hostility in Qi Yunshen’s eyes deepened.
Upon realizing who the two were, Ruan Qing instinctively wanted to step back, but he couldn’t because he was already crouched on the ground.
He didn’t perceive anyone approaching; these two deliberately suppressed their voices to go unnoticed by him.
With that sudden step back, he ended up sitting directly on the ground.
He didn’t notice anyone approaching at all; these two deliberately kept their voices down so he wouldn’t detect them.
Ruan Qing looked at the freshly assembled bones on the ground, lowered his head, nervously pursed his lips, and did not answer Qi Yunshen’s question.
Qi Yunshen withdrew his gaze indifferently, looking down at the young man sitting on the ground. In a slow and gentle tone, he spoke, “You wouldn’t happen to... have feelings for my brother, would you?”
Qi Yunshen’s voice, unlike before, took on a soft tone tinged with danger, inexplicably sending shivers down one’s spine.
Ruan Qing shook his head in a fluster, his long eyelashes trembling anxiously.
‘System, submit the answer.’
‘Qi Yunshen and Qi Muran.’
After Ruan Qing submitted the answer, the game system’s icy mechanical voice echoed in his mind, [Congratulations to player Ruan Qing for clearing the instance <Pen Spirit>.]
And then... what next?
Ruan Qing, staring at Qi Yunshen exuding danger before him, simply froze. A hint of panic appeared on his delicate face.
This time, it was genuine panic.
The answer was correct, and the time had already elapsed, but he... still didn’t leave the instance.
Just like it was during <First High School>.
It wouldn’t be long before ghosts started appearing at First University, both during the day and at night.
