When last night's events were brought up, the atmosphere instantly fell silent.

Lin Yuan quietly lifted his head to glance at Su Yuan's expression.

Unfortunately, the room was too dimly lit, and with his four hundred degrees of myopia and glaucoma...

He couldn't see a thing.

Su Yuan found a bed to sit on, his tone calm, "Last night's events had nothing to do with you. Those things couldn't deal with ghosts anyway."

"Why feel guilty? Why take on the burden without reason... You're not the savior of mankind."

"I don't feel I've wronged anyone," Zhang Yang lifted his head, "I just feel I've wronged you... and Song Xiaoxia."

...

Boys' dormitory, fourth floor.

"Why are you all cramming into one room to search? How long will that take?"

Wu Chenfei glanced at the crowded dorm room, feeling quite irritated.

Especially Xu Dan, who stuck to his side no matter what, not leaving even an inch.

"Exactly, even if we split into groups, there's no need for eight or nine people to search one room, right?"

"Spread out a bit, three or four people per room is enough."

"Everyone just stay on the same floor, no need to all be in one room..."

Everyone was chattering away.

Support us at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

But no one moved, all hoping someone else would take the initiative to search other rooms.

Just then, several phones vibrated simultaneously.

A message came through the group chat.

Zhang Yang: Everyone, I've found the location of the "Treasure."

Zhang Yang: [Boys' Dorm 105] [Boys' Dorm 307] [Boys' Dorm 303] [Boys' Dorm 509] [Boys' Dorm 207] [Boys' Dorm 205] [Boys' Dorm 409] [Boys' Dorm 507] [Girls' Dorm 208] [Girls' Dorm 408] [Girls' Dorm 306] [Girls' Dorm 108] [Girls' Dorm 204]

Zhang Yang: We're currently at [Boys' Dorm 205], and we've found the "Marsh Yang Earth."

Seeing the message on their phones, everyone was first stunned, then overjoyed.

"Great," Wu Yuxin exclaimed with delight, "Now we're saved, no need to search room by room!"

Xu Dan clung tightly to Wu Chenfei's arm, "How does Zhang Yang know? What if he's wrong?"

"Right or wrong, we'll know when we check!" Wu Chenfei impatiently shook off Xu Dan.

Wang Hao carefully looked at the message on his phone, "Yes, yes, the fourth floor is... [409], let's go check it out."

Just as they were about to move, suddenly...

"Mom, what are you doing here?"

Li Lei's voice came from the dormitory entrance.

His voice wasn't loud, but it instantly sent chills down everyone's spine, making their scalp feel like it was about to explode.

"What... of course I thought about it, but I have things to do now... No! Of course, the most important thing is Mom!" Li Lei's wooden, mechanical voice continued from the doorway.

Everyone stiffly turned their heads, and the dormitory door had already been opened.

In the moonlight, they could see a tall, humanoid silhouette standing in the hallway, arms wide open, as if welcoming.

And Li Lei was muttering to himself, slowly walking towards the shadow outside the door.

Their bodies seemed petrified, standing motionless, eyes fixed on the tall shadow outside the door.

This was the first time since the appearance of the Bloody Writing that everyone had come face to face with the "Family Member" who had brought them so much fear.

An overwhelming sense of terror enveloped them, making them feel as if their bodies had lost all sensation.

After a brief mental shutdown, Wang Hao was the first to react. He grabbed Wu Chenfei's arm, his voice trembling, "Fei... Brother Fei, what do we do?"

The others also snapped back to reality, each hiding behind Wu Chenfei, continuously pushing him forward.

"Brother Fei, it's all up to you!"

"Think of something, Brother Fei."

"You're the only one with superpowers, only you can deal with ghosts!"

Wu Chenfei's face was grim. This group never intended to complete the game; they just wanted him, the "Favored by Heaven," to protect them when encountering ghosts.

He didn't resist, letting them push him towards the "Family Member."

By now, Li Lei had already reached the "Family Member." The tall shadow raised its arms, placing two pale hands on Li Lei's shoulders.

Wu Chenfei gritted his teeth, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

But he still forced himself to suppress his fear, stepping forward one step at a time.

As he was about to reach the "Family Member," he suddenly turned on his phone's flashlight, aiming it at the shadow.

He wanted to see what this thing really was.

Everyone was startled by his action, wondering if it would change the "Family Member's" target.

But it was too late.

The next second, everyone saw the tall shadow clearly.

It appeared to be over two meters tall, covered in a black robe, with no other parts of its body visible.

The only exposed part was a smooth, featureless face!

As if sensing the light, the "Family Member" suddenly moved.

Its stiff body turned mechanically, the pale, eerie, featureless face slowly turning towards them.

Even though the face had no eyes, Wu Chenfei still felt as if something was staring at him, a shiver from the depths of his soul rising within him!

His legs began to shake violently, a bone-chilling cold spreading through his entire body.

He couldn't muster any will to fight...

Wu Chenfei suddenly let go of the people behind him, dodging around the "Family Member" and sprinting down the hallway.

Everyone behind him was dumbfounded...

You just ran off like that?!

A few seconds later, Ma Honghu's earth-shattering shout echoed through the dormitory,

"Run!!!!!!"

With that, Ma Honghu led the charge out.

Despite their fear, the others' survival instincts overpowered their terror, and they instinctively followed him out.

Watching the fleeing crowd, the "Family Member" stood still, not giving chase.

It slowly turned its head, wrapping its arms around Li Lei.

In the hallway, everyone was sprinting with all their might.

In this situation, all that mattered was running faster than the others!

In her haste, Xu Dan slipped and fell to the ground.

She looked up in terror, shouting towards Ma Honghu ahead, "Don't... don't leave! Help me, save me!"

Her voice was tearful, filled with helplessness and despair.

Ma Honghu stopped, glanced at the dark hallway, gritted his teeth, and went back to help Xu Dan up, "Run!"
