Help, I've become a paper man

It was late at night in the dew, the light was dim, and a breeze blew, making a rustling sound, but it was different from last night.

The footsteps were not in sync. Not only did they not come together, they did not move together either. The black and gray colors dispersed and scattered on the ground, spreading from the gate to the surroundings.

"There are no humans tonight."

It is a signal received by the "ghost" and released directly by the system. It is sufficiently guaranteed to reassure you.

First of all, you don’t have to worry about hitting someone, especially one who is not your own, or being accidentally killed by someone else’s Stardust.

Secondly, there is no need to meet humans with the current authority and be hit by the yang energy, which would weaken the soul in advance.

The combination of the two is one of the reasons for "going separate ways".

What's more important is fear, simply because someone died on the first day and the murderer has not been identified, so it's not safe to walk together.

It’s not because of distrust, but precisely because... everyone knows each other too well, and everyone knows that the other party is “not a good person”. When it comes to taking shady action, they will not show any mercy, and no one is doing charity.

Instead of getting together again while it's still dark, they found a place to hide away and wait for daybreak, which would have been safer.

Sui Yuesheng was one of them. Or rather, he was alone last night. If no one had isolated him during the "walk together" event, and everyone was innocent and just going through the motions, not caring about those things, he should have played by himself last time.

After all, apart from him, everyone present was an old acquaintance. There were two who were not very familiar with each other, but at least they knew each other.

He was the surprise among them. The scrutinizing looks and teasing smiles were also fleeting, staying on him for a short time and then moving elsewhere, which explained how he was treated - no one was even interested in him.

This is the situation of ordinary contractors. Sui Yuesheng sighed and continued to move forward.

His footsteps floated in the air, unable to touch the ground, leaving only light grey marks in the areas he passed through, which were almost invisible against the dim background.

The line moved forward, passed the stairs on the third floor, and headed towards the fourth floor system, gradually approaching Stardust's classroom.

Sui Yuesheng had a clear goal. He had an idea last night. In those few brief seconds, he heard a familiar voice.

It’s Song Yi.

He didn't hear Mu Yun's voice, but he guessed, based on his understanding of Song Yi, there was a high possibility that Mu Yun had already teamed up with Song Yi, just like during the qualification test, and maybe Mu Yun was also there yesterday.

Therefore, he had to search for more information, go to the classroom to take a look, and then pass the clues to Mu Yun when he had the chance.

Or Song Yi.

Sui Yuesheng added in his mind that according to his original idea, even if there were no accidents, he planned to find an opportunity to act alone, to search first, and then find an opportunity to meet the humans who were exploring at night.

But before he could get anything, something special happened.

Sui Yuesheng thought of this and a trace of worry flashed across his face. Since it was a competition, separating the two parties of the contract obviously meant there was a need for cooperation.

However, the setting of "Yang Qi" is also set. As time goes by, the degree of erosion gradually increases, which can eliminate the damage caused by "humans" to "ghosts". This is also the hope for direct cooperation.

So, in this case, there is not much information that can be provided to them.

For example, tonight, the system only explained that "the students' energy was consumed in the art class. They are particularly sleepy tonight and will spend the night in sleep."

Sui Yuesheng was still a little worried. He pushed open the classroom door and searched the room. Unlike during the day, the tables and chairs here were old and covered with a layer of dust.

The most important thing is that there is no signboard. When Yuesheng walks around, he can only smell the odor of decay. It is difficult to tell the owner of the desk through the decay.

In this classroom, everything was rotten and broken. Sui Yuesheng swept through it and found almost nothing useful.

He boldly guessed that night was different from day.

If it was like this during the day, then they wouldn't come for a night tour. They would have to search several classrooms just to explore during the day... Wait?

If there are two spaces, with people exploring the surroundings during the day and ghosts looking for clues at night, they can combine the information from both sides and then reversely infer the supernatural events.

Sui Yuesheng walked out of the classroom while thinking. The more he planned, the more he wanted to sigh.

Before the prompt sound is sounded, the content such as "So-and-so discovered a supernatural event" is broadcasted. It is very likely that no one has discovered it. In this case, it is very likely that the former is a bait, and there is only one real way to pass the level.

They were about to take the path of "end", and the difficulty suddenly doubled.

Sui Yuesheng sighed and raised his hand to touch his earlobe. He didn't know why, but he had been feeling uneasy since a while ago, as if something bad was about to happen, or was happening. This uneasiness would continue and would affect his mood to some extent.

He walked faster and faster, intending to follow his original plan and after inspecting the building, return to the starting point to prepare for the next day.

This is not what people want, no, to be precise, it is a problem of people themselves.

Sui Yuesheng had just stepped onto the stairs and had not yet moved forward when he was stunned by the scene in front of him. What appeared before him was a death in progress.

The protagonist is the woman in a long skirt whom I saw yesterday. She is now standing on tiptoe with her upper body close to the stairs and her head close to the handrail, as if she is trying to find an angle and then... squeeze herself in.

"Wait a minute!" Sui Yuesheng shouted, rushed forward a few steps, and reached the fifth floor in a flash.

But as the distance got closer, he could see more. There was another person behind the woman. Judging from her figure, she was slightly taller than the woman in high heels. The two were quite close to each other.

Sui Yuesheng paused and asked subconsciously: "Who are you?"

The other party did not answer, only a light laugh could be heard. Even though I hadn't seen his face yet, I could sense that the current situation was most likely the work of that person, who was obviously the one who was forcing him.

Sui Yuesheng became more alert and his pace slowed down. He stared into the darkness, his hands clenched unconsciously, and began to guard against sudden attacks.

But plans did not keep up with changes.

The woman's movements were even more dangerous. Her body was completely resting on the stairs, and her feet were slowly leaving the ground. She was about to fall. It was precisely because of this angle that Sui Yuesheng's face was wet.

He subconsciously raised his head and looked up from the bottom, and saw the woman's face. That beautiful face, at this moment, was filled with fear and pain, which was quite shocking.

"Wait! Let her go! Let's talk!"

Sui Yuesheng shouted and raised his legs again, trying to speed up and stop this tragedy, but he was still a step too slow.

The woman's body twisted, and with two cracking sounds, she forced herself into the handrails, and then fell down.

Sui Yuesheng's pupils contracted, and he was surrounded by panic and fear, but he heard footsteps again, the crisp sound of leather shoes hitting the ground. He looked up in a hurry and met a pair of light blue eyes.

"Why...why?" Sui Yuesheng asked with difficulty.

The man smiled and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I'll go to a different place next time."

Sui Yuesheng exhaled and continued, "Boss Yan, I know you and are friends with Song Yi. I hope to get an answer. You didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, so why did you kill them?"

"Ah, you guessed it. I did it yesterday as well." Yan Changyue agreed lightly and clapped her hands in cooperation. She added, "They are exploring too slowly, so I want to help. You know, no matter how the process goes, the remaining three will be the top three."

Sui Yuesheng did not refute. He just looked at Yan Changyue, his body starting to look stiff due to fear.
