Tap, tap, tap.
The sound of footsteps was particularly clear in the silent library.
Several people fell silent in unison, slowing their breathing.
They turned off their flashlights.
Tap, tap, tap.
The footsteps stopped above them.
The man in the suit had a bad feeling.
The next second,
A head poked out from the railing on the second floor, looking down at the people between the bookshelves with disheveled hair.
He grinned and said, "Found, you, all!"
"Not good, run!"
The man in the suit shouted and bolted towards other bookshelves.
Qian Xue also quickly pulled Xia Qingqing in another direction.
Bang!
A loud noise came from behind them.
The crazy woman on the second floor had actually jumped down!
"Hahaha... Die, all of you! Die!"
Whoosh— Whoosh—
Whoosh— Whoosh—
A small spark of fire flickered out.
The crazy woman chased after them with a chainsaw.
She was incredibly fast, as if she were floating.
In the blink of an eye, she caught up to the man in the suit.
She raised the chainsaw high and swung it down.
The aura of death descended.
In a flash of lightning,
The man in the suit suddenly lunged forward, flipped over, and faced the crazy woman, raising something to shield himself.
The chainsaw fell.
A white light erupted in front of the man in the suit, blocking the chainsaw.
"Self-cleaning, self-love, very good, very good..."
The crazy woman muttered,
Pulled up the chainsaw,
Turned around and chased after the others.
As if she had completely forgotten about the man in the suit.
After she left,
The man in the suit breathed a sigh of relief, and the book in his hand turned to sand and disappeared.
That book was called "Self-Cleaning."
He had grabbed it while running.
It seemed his guess was correct.
In this instance, these books were the key items.
"One book can block one attack and divert the ghost's attention."
The man in the suit recalled the books on the shelves.
The books used by all the players definitely wouldn't be enough.
Moreover, according to the laws of horror, there would always be casualties.
If everyone used books to block attacks, would it trigger other dangers in the library?
According to the diary,
People had died here.
...
Whoosh— Whoosh—
The sound of the chainsaw came from another part of the library.
The burly man was caught up to, and he grabbed an axe to fight the crazy woman.
He blocked one attack, and the axe was destroyed.
But the crazy woman was still there!
"Damn it!"
The burly man cursed, turned, and pushed a bookshelf towards the crazy woman.
Bang!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
The chainsaw spun vigorously, cutting the bookshelf in half.
The crazy woman's face, mostly covered by her hair, peeked out from the gap in the bookshelf.
She grinned, "Hahahaha... Die! Die!"
The burly man heard the sound of the chainsaw chasing him from behind and frantically looked for a place to hide.
He turned his head and saw Qian Xue and Xia Qingqing covering their mouths in the corner.
The burly man didn't hesitate,
He ran towards the two of them.
Women and children were the weak in this world.
They were the ones meant to be sacrificed.
Even if they died, he couldn't be blamed!
...
The emergency lights in the library cast a dim glow.
Seeing the man running towards them, Qian Xue vaguely guessed what was happening.
Already scared, she became even more panicked.
Pulling Xia Qingqing, she ran in any direction, randomly.
After running only a few steps, she tripped over scattered bookshelves.
Before tripping, she instinctively let go of Xia Qingqing's hand to avoid falling together.
Behind her,
The burly man was getting closer, a large hand reaching for Qian Xue's hair.
Qian Xue's heart pounded, knowing she couldn't escape.
Looking at the little girl standing foolishly beside her, she cried.
She pushed the girl,
"Run!!"
In this world, no one could be trusted!
To survive, one could only rely on oneself!
And she would never get out.
"Run—!"
At the critical moment,
Xia Qingqing nodded and obediently started running.
However, she lifted Qian Xue above her head and ran forward together.
And she was very fast.
In a short while, they were ten meters away.
The burly man's hand grasped at empty air.
The ghost woman chased after them, the sound of the chainsaw close to her ears.
"Ahhhhhhh—"
Blood splattered onto the ceiling, the bookshelves, and the crazy woman.
The crazy woman licked the blood from her lips, laughing even more madly.
"Hahahaha... All dead! All dead!"
...
[??? How is that kid so strong? m(⊙▽⊙)m]
[Aces! I thought she'd be the first to die, but this kid is the dark horse!]
[I knew the ghost building couldn't have a bug, turns out a king has arrived!]
[This is going to be good!]
The glowing bullet comments on the ceiling scrolled by.
Half were stunned, and half were already excited.
They were even placing bets.
...
Wind rushed past on both sides, and bookshelves receded.
The air was thick with the smell of blood.
Qian Xue, held in mid-air, was completely stunned.
She wasn't dead?
She was flying...
How could this child have such strength?
But the current situation didn't allow her to remain stunned.
The crazy woman, holding the chainsaw, chased after them with a "whoosh."
Qian Xue looked back and met the crazy woman's sparking chainsaw head-on.
"She's floating! She's floating this way!"
Qian Xue couldn't help but shout.
Her voice involuntarily rose due to the extreme stimulation.
Hearing this, Xia Qingqing, holding Qian Xue, made a sharp turn.
She ran towards the stairs on the side.
Her speed was only slightly slower than the crazy woman's.
The sound of the chainsaw followed closely.
"Be careful," Xia Qingqing suddenly said.
Before Qian Xue could react, she was thrown to the side the next second.
Xia Qingqing picked up a half-meter-tall green plant next to her, pot and all, and threw it at the crazy woman who had reached the top of the stairs.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
The chainsaw split the ceramic pot in half.
Soil scattered all over the ground.
Xia Qingqing threw another thing, "Jelly! Go!"
Jelly: ???
Seeing the chainsaw about to collide with her, Jelly broke out in a cold sweat.
With a drift in mid-air,
She lunged towards the crazy woman's eyes, muttering.
"The woman holding the chainsaw had her eyes covered, and in her mind, she saw the person she loved most..."
In an instant,
The furiously spinning chainsaw in the air stopped.
The crazy woman froze in place.
Xia Qingqing quickly stepped forward, snatched the chainsaw, then jumped up and punched the crazy woman in the head.
Bang!
Jelly, who was constantly being hit, had the most say in the power of Xia Qingqing's punch.
A large lump quickly appeared on the crazy woman's forehead.
Her center of gravity shifted,
And she rolled down the stairs in a daze.
Jelly let go in time and floated in the air, avoiding falling with her.
At the same time,
A faint light appeared outside the library, shining in through the windows.
Daybreak.
...
In reality—
Seven in the morning.
"Qingqing, time to get up."
Xia's dad knocked on his daughter's bedroom door. After waiting a few seconds without a response.
"Dad's coming in."
He said, waited a few more seconds, then pushed the door open and entered.
The bedroom was quiet.
The thick quilt was half thrown back, and there was no one on the bed.
"Qingqing?"
"Your daughter disappeared last night."
Said the teenager, hanging upside down by the window.
But,
Xia's dad couldn't see him, nor could he hear his voice.
After searching the room, Xia's dad began to panic.
"Honey! Qingqing is gone!"
...
