Chapter 9
The shadows of scattered trees danced on the ground, swaying gently with the wind.
The teenager walked up the stairs into the night.
Ye Nianchu, who had just opened her room door, paused for a moment, then looked up at him and said, "It's not safe to go out at night."
It was rare for her to give advice in the game.
"Hmm?" The young man looked puzzled, not quite understanding what she meant.
He looked both cute and gentle.
Ye Nianchu smiled softly and said, "What sister means is that boys need to be careful when they’re outside."
"I see."
The young man stood there, graceful and slender, his face kind, but his eyes were cold.
Sister?
She didn’t seem older than him.
He was quite good at playing his cards right.
The one who should be cautious wasn’t him.
After all, the game was about to officially begin.
"Did you hear any noise in the hallway last night?" Ye Nianchu asked.
The teenager thought for a moment, shook his head, and looked at Ye Nianchu with curiosity. "Did you hear something, sister?"
He had a slight smile and a gentle gaze, like the bright moon in the night sky.
Maybe it was just her imagination, but his tone seemed to change slightly when he said 'sister.'
"It sounded like footsteps, but I’m not sure; I might have heard it wrong." This was a lie.
Just then, Ye Nianchu’s phone vibrated. The screen lit up and unlocked itself, showing a strange photo.
Ye Nianchu glanced at it, feeling a chill run down her spine. Her knuckles turned white as she gripped her phone, trying to stay calm. She quickly turned off the screen.
"Sister, is everything okay?" The teenager asked, concerned.
Ye Nianchu, shaken by the photo, suddenly felt that the young man’s eyes looked off, and his aura seemed different from before.
That unsettling look didn’t suit him.
Even if it was just for a moment.
"It’s nothing. I’ll go back to rest now." Ye Nianchu forced a smile and walked back into her room.
The young man watched the closed door, then took out his room card with a clear smile in his eyes.
He had found the player who had qualified for an early pass.
He had planned to deal with them to avoid interference.
But now, he was curious about what choices this 'sister,' who had kindly warned others, would make when she discovered the early pass method.
---
Ye Nianchu closed her door tightly and sat on the bed to examine the photo closely.
The photo had indeed changed; she wasn’t mistaken.
The black mist in the upper left corner had spread to the center of the photo.
The photo remained blurry, but the black mist formed vague human shapes.
There were exactly seven 'figures.'
This suggested that what she experienced last night wasn’t just a dream.
Could these shadows come out of the phone in the middle of the night?
The thought made Ye Nianchu shiver. She felt like throwing her phone away immediately.
If she could, she would toss it as far as possible without a second thought.
Ye Nianchu opened the glass door, lifted her phone, and was about to throw it out.
The system’s warning appeared, "Players who evade the game will never be able to leave this world."
This was worse than just erasure.
