If they had heard two days ago that there were four people on bus 07, Ning Su and Pang Yang would have been very happy.
They had two people on their bus. If bus 07 had four people, it would be just the right number.
But now, they could basically confirm that initially, there were three players on one bus. Yet right now, there were four players saying they were from bus 07.
Why was there an extra one?
The surroundings were quiet. Not a single player spoke.
Xue Wei’s face turned green.
She wanted to curse loudly; this darn instance had not been going smoothly for her since she entered.
Everyone stood still, most of them lowering their heads, afraid to look at others and unwilling to let others see them.
A suffocating atmosphere prevailed.
After an unknown amount of time, Ning Su, who had been mingling with others for quite a while, let out a sigh, scratched his head, and walked away.
He was the first to leave, and other players watched him. Seeing he was fine, some stiffened their bodies, pretended to be corpses, and left one by one.
Xue Wei’s face turned black.
Fang Qi sat on Pang Yang’s bed, Ling Xiao sat on Ning Su’s bed, silently watching the situation on the other side.
Pang Yang sighed, wiped the sweat off his forehead, “Oh my goodness, it was too scary, scared me cold.”
Fang Qi also had lingering fear. “I don’t want to go over there anymore. Let’s stay here and not go out.”
At this point, they were all able to empathize with Yun Xiangning and Wan Bo’s terror last night.
A corpse was among them, truly terrifying.
At this point, rather than calling them corpses, calling them ghosts was more accurate.
They were no longer like stiff, lifeless corpses; they were now intelligent ghosts.
Both of them felt that their small space was a haven, and outside, ghosts were watching them in the shadows.
Ning Su made a sound, glanced at the situation over there, then looked at Ling Xiao. Just as he was about to ask about his age, there was movement again.
They gathered in a different place, notifying players one by one, avoiding the four people from bus 07.
One player in bus 07 saw it, realizing they were being excluded, panicked, and hurriedly walked towards this side.
But at this time, most players didn’t want to take risks. They wore cold indifference and hostility, successfully forcing the player to retreat.
It was safer not to trust any of those four.
Xue Wei continued to hold the paper given to her by the players. The four cards from bus 07 were placed aside, and she still seemed hesitant about the remaining ones.
“Bao Yu?” Xue Wei looked at a female player dressed in black.
“...”
The moment the players heard this name, they shivered, instantly reminded of the terror of being dominated by the corpse of Bao Yu.
People around the female player instinctively took a step back.
Bao Yu, confused and anxious, said, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem? I am a genuine player!”
“Don’t say you’re genuine; that term is too scary.”
“...”
A male player next to Bao Yu said, “I assure you she is a player. We’ve been confirming each other on the same bus since day one.”
Pang Yang glanced at Ning Su and increasingly felt that this rascal who didn’t take instances seriously might be quite clever, and he might have hit the mark again.
The long-haired corpse wasn’t called Bao Yu; the corpse heard this name from somewhere.
Probably from the mouth of the real Bao Yu.
Pang Yang told Bao Yu about this, and her expression was quite dramatic. Once again, she said, “I am really a player. If you don’t believe it, you can touch me; I have body temperature.”
She rolled up her sleeves, extended her arm, as if casually inviting inspection.
However, no one dared to touch her immediately.
It was the male player beside her who held her wrist. “It’s normal; she has body temperature.”
Her arm looked perfectly normal, and after players touched it and confirmed, most believed her.
Xue Wei also believed, having seen Bao Yu’s self-introduction paper. If she doubted, she wouldn’t have had someone call her over.
“There are still two who didn’t write properly.” Xue Wei pulled out two papers, looking at Ning Su and Ling Xiao. “Don’t you understand blood types? One wrote black blood, and the other wrote red blood?”
Ning Su: “...”
Ning Su looked like a high school student being publicly punished by the headmaster, sitting with a placid face, appearing obedient and indifferent.
As for the other person, he genuinely seemed indifferent, like a deity that paid no attention to humanity.
Xue Wei endured for a moment, originally intending to get angry. However, upon seeing Ling Xiao’s face, her tone softened. “Also, what does it mean to write your height in the age column? Are you deliberately telling me you’re 188?”
Ning Su: “...”
Ling Xiao: “It’s not 188, it’s 189.”
Ning Su: “...”
Xue Wei: “If you don’t have a house, you don’t have one. Why write about the game hall on the base property? Everyone knows that the houses in the game hall are not for sale.”
Ning Su: “...”
Xue Wei: “If I hadn’t confirmed that you’re a player, your self-introduction would be suspicious.”
Ling Xiao remained in a statue-like pose.
Xue Wei: “...”
Who was this broken instance trying to infuriate?
The rules of the instance were rubbish, and the players inside were annoying.
“Preliminary screening is okay. Everyone, supplement the information about the players in the same bus, specify which players died in the bus, and try to describe the situation of the deceased players in detail. That should be enough.”
She returned the papers to the players, telling them while they write additional information. “Remember, we can trust each other. No killing among ourselves. Don’t hesitate with other corpses; this way, we can safely stay alive.”
“What about those four from bus 07?” a player asked.
According to Xue Wei’s plan, weren’t they supposed to find out all the players? Those four were undoubtedly a hidden danger.
Xue Wei glanced at them, “Don’t trust any of them for now. I’ll find a way to test them.”
Players breathed a sigh of relief, “As long as they stay away tonight, gathering in small groups of three to five should be quite safe, don’t you think?”
The safety they were talking about was based on joining forces to dispose of the corpses if they came near them, just like the human pupa master.
“Do we really have to do this?” Pang Yang hesitated after coming back. “If corpses suspect us and come our way, we do have windows here, and dealing with corpses together with four people should be fine. But I can’t shake the feeling...”
He couldn’t put his thoughts into words.
Ning Su said, “Of course, we can’t do that. When there’s no life-threatening danger, don’t harm them proactively.”
Fang Qi directly asked, “Why do you say that? What are you thinking?”
Ning Su said without much thought, “Why do they want to confirm which ones are players? It’s to make sure that when corpses come, they wouldn’t hesitate to handle them.”
“They think they can only deal with corpses, not kill players, because the system prompts ‘Do good deeds, don’t inquire about the future.’ They believe killing players is a bad thing, but killing corpses is okay.”
Pang Yang: “Isn’t that right? Why does it sound fine to me?”
Ning Su: “That’s looking at it from a human standpoint.”
“?”
If they had heard two days ago that there were four people on bus 07, Ning Su and Pang Yang would have been very happy.
They had two people on their bus. If bus 07 had four people, it would be just the right number.
