The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

Groups of two or three students were walking on the crisscross brick and stone pavement. They were wearing blue and white school uniforms and carrying similar heavy school bags on their shoulders or in their hands. While walking, they occasionally whispered to each other or made jokes.

The sycamore trees grow lushly, and the leaves that fall on the sidewalk are two or three times larger than the palm of your hand, making a crisp "crunching" sound when you step on them.

Across a shallow pond and fountain garden in the distance is a teaching building with a screen displaying the slogan "Be knowledgeable and prudent, be virtuous and tolerant".

When Qin Jue regained consciousness, he was standing on the sidewalk of the campus. He lowered his head and looked at himself. He was also in school uniform.

Although the sun is shining brightly above, the campus atmosphere is warm, and the NPCs around are full of youthfulness just like in reality.

But this cannot change the fact that they are in a game copy.

The quieter and more peaceful it looks, the more frightening it makes people feel.

Looking around, through several NPCs with clear facial features, Qin Jue saw Xu Huang who was also looking around, as well as several other people who were obviously players but did not dare to take a step easily.

A week had passed since the last time they cleared the dungeon. The system seemed to have given them some time to recover. This time, there was no prelude to the game, and they were directly teleported into the dungeon.

Not long after, the system issued this broadcast.

【Welcome all players to this intermediate dungeon <Horror Campus>. 】

[There is only one requirement for this mission: Players, please make sure to survive safely within one day! ]

[There are no side quests. Good luck to everyone! ]

The system's voice struck everyone's heart, and the phrase "good luck always comes" sounded like a malicious sarcasm.

Qiao Yueyang looked at everything here in horror. He didn't understand the rules yet, but he felt that those NPCs who looked exactly like real people were too weird.

Turning around, he saw an acquaintance not far away. Thinking of the argument between the two not long ago, he was almost certain that it was Lin Wan who dragged him into the game.

"Damn it, Lin Wan, you bitch, you dragged me in here!" Qiao Yueyang rushed over and grabbed Lin Wan's collar in two or three steps. Regardless of the situation, he was about to hit her.

"Let me go! Qiao Yueyang, look at the situation carefully. Don't take me with you if you want to die! What does it have to do with me?" Lin Wan struggled backwards, protecting her head with her hands.

Although she did have this idea and logged onto the website at midnight, when she was about to type in Qiao Yueyang's name, she looked up and found that he was already on the list.

She was a little surprised, but then she thought that Qiao Yueyang was a wicked man, and many people wanted him dead, so it was not surprising that he appeared on the list.

Lin Wan refused to admit to anything she had not done.

The hand that was about to slap was stopped by someone. Qiao Yueyang turned his head and shouted angrily, "Get out of here. Why are you stopping me?"

The man grabbed Qiao Yueyang's arm and forcibly took him away from Lin Wan. When he let go, the other party shook his arm away.

He turned his wrist and advised calmly: "Master Qiao, this is a copy of Guiye. You may lose your life at any time. Are you sure you want to act out at this moment?"

"Are you disciplining me, Han Yi? Why did my dad spend a lot of money to hire you? You're a bodyguard, not a tutor!" Qiao Yueyang's voice trembled a little. The unfamiliar environment and weird atmosphere made him very uneasy.

He was like a ferocious beast baring its fangs and claws after being stressed, displaying his attack power indiscriminately to intimidate everything around him and ensure his own safety.

He thought what he needed was a reliable protector, not a piece of trash that would hinder his actions.

"This is to protect your safety. Don't always think about getting yourself killed. You are unlucky. After forming a team, the system pulled you into the intermediate field according to my level. It is very dangerous here. You'd better listen to me."

Han Yi didn't indulge him either, and using the money to protect Qiao Yueyang was just a side effect.

There weren't so many rules in the game copy. He was willing to spend this much time to comply with the contract. Even if he didn't want to protect the other party, Qiao Yueyang died, at most he would return the commission. Without any evidence, the Qiao family couldn't do anything to him.

"Why should I listen to you?" Qiao Yueyang was obviously unconvinced. He had never been humiliated by anyone in his life, so he retorted in a bad temper.

"Your father paid me to protect you, but this is not your home. You'd better listen to me while I still have patience." Faced with the arrogant and unyielding young master, Han Yi no longer had the patience he had built up for himself at the beginning.

"...Hmph!" Reason took over. No matter how domineering Qiao Yueyang was, he knew that when he entered and exited the game field, he had to rely on the person in front of him for everything. If the other party really betrayed the contract and gave up on him, then there would be no hope.

He suppressed his anger at being blocked from moving, snorted coldly and said nothing more.

"Now that you've calmed down, just follow the system's instructions and go." Han Yi sighed and walked forward.

Within the visual field, the system has given a guiding arrow to the direction the player is currently heading. The girl called Lin Wan and many players have followed the instructions and entered the teaching building.

If it is slower, it may delay time and cause dissatisfaction with the system.

Qiao Yueyang frowned and looked down. Indeed, a three-dimensional floating arrow appeared in the air close to the road. It was similar to the game icons in VR glasses, which made him very uncomfortable.

He looked at Han Yi who was about to walk away, and quickly caught up with him.

The two walked into the teaching building one after the other. A girl walked out from behind a thick tree trunk, staring at Qiao Yueyang's disappearing figure, took a deep breath, and followed him.

The classroom of Class 2, Grade 1 on the third floor was as noisy as usual. The long break was one of the few free times for students, and they were playing around and making extra noise.

Of course, those chasing and fighting each other are all NPCs.

Naturally, most players don't have the leisure time to play around in dungeons.

According to the system's instructions and the name tag on his chest, Qin Jue was almost certain that the empty seats in the classroom required players to sit in their designated seats.

Excluding the NPCs moving around, there are roughly ten empty spaces for players.

A large number of players also means that there will be more casualties in the game.

Xu Huang was standing behind the door, lamenting that the prospects of this game did not seem optimistic, when he saw his good roommate, without saying a word, walk past him with an inexplicable joy and sit in an empty seat in the corner.

Following Qin Jue's burning and focused gaze, Xu Huang saw the NPC sleeping with his arms folded next to Qin Jue's seat.

Although it was only a side profile, this super model face, if he remembered correctly...

Isn’t this the super powerful water ghost from last time?

Xu Huang was confused for a moment, but soon the system's indicator arrow jumped, reminding him to get into position quickly.

Putting aside his doubts for the moment, Xu Huang sat in the back seat by the window.

Qin Jue was sitting in the last row and was the first to enter the classroom, so he could clearly see everyone who came in. However, his attention was not on the players who were walking in one after another.

The task of observing the players fell on Xu Huang, who frequently looked to the left.

The first person to come over was Lin Wan. When she walked through the main entrance and passed the podium, she saw Qin Jue at first sight. However, due to the mandatory requirements of the system, Lin Wan was unable to approach and say a few words, and sat carefully at her own desk.

Then, there came a girl with a Band-Aid on her nose. She glanced at Lin Wan before sitting down. The look in Xu Huang's eyes was clear and not very friendly, as if she had a grudge against Lin Wan.

Then came Qiao Yueyang and a man between the ages of twenty-six and thirty, followed by three trembling young men who were obviously acquainted with Qiao Yueyang.

When Qiao Yueyang saw Xu Huang, his expression was obviously vague for a moment, as if he didn't want to believe his own eyes, and he seemed to be extremely reluctant to be in the same copy with Xu Huang.

Facing the other party's veiled but somewhat hostile gaze, Xu Huang thought carefully and could not remember when he had offended this rich second-generation with whom he had little interaction.

The last person to sit down was a young girl who looked somewhat familiar to Xu Huang. She was not very old and looked like she had graduated from high school at most.

She sat quietly in her seat, with a low sense of presence, and did not attract the attention of other players.

The sun was shining brightly in the morning, which is a rare good weather in the Ghost Night game.

The double seat was next to the window, with bright light pouring down. Qin Jue could clearly see the eyelashes of the NPC who was sleeping beside him, as well as the overly beautiful shoulder and neck lines.
