"I'm at the breakfast shop." Qi Yun's voice came through the phone with some distortion. "Do you want me to bring you breakfast?"
"Help!" Tang Ning looked at the small window filled with faces and kept backing away. His whole body was trembling barely perceptibly. Halfway through his retreat, he felt a chill on his side, as if a cold wind was blowing. Tang Ning turned his head stiffly and suddenly found that the toilet door had been opened without him noticing!
"What?" Qi Yun's voice was the only thing that made Tangning feel safe in this strange environment. Tangning clutched the phone tightly as if it were a lifeline and asked in a trembling voice, "Can you come to my dorm to find me?"
Suddenly there was a banging sound in the corridor, as if something was violently banging against the door with its body!
Tang Ning opened his eyes in horror. The faces lying on the door were like decorative paintings hanging on the door. No face had changed, and the corners of their lips were still fixed in a strange arc.
It wasn't his dormitory door that was knocked down.
It’s the dormitory next door!
"One minute." Qi Yun said in a cold voice.
"Bang! Bang!! Bang!!!" The sound of banging on the door became louder and louder, almost too loud to bear for Tang Ning's heart.
What really made Tang Ning almost breathless were the pairs of eyes behind the doors and windows. Their black pupils were as small as needles, and there was a hint of fear in their strange looks, as if they had seen something terrible behind him!
What's behind him
An extremely terrifying guess came to mind. Tang Ning covered his eyes tightly and squeezed out a faint "Qi Yun" from his throat.
"Fifty seconds." Qi Yun seemed to be running, and the sound of footsteps and wind came through the phone.
"Bang!!!" The loud noise of the collapse echoed throughout the corridor, followed by the sound of dense footsteps, as if a group of people were walking at a high speed in the corridor.
The hurried footsteps stopped in front of his door, "Open the door!"
It was a completely unfamiliar voice.
Tang Ning took a small step back, then suddenly froze in place.
Is the rear safe
"Open the door!" the voice became urgent!
Tang Ning subconsciously thought of the experience of being fooled by ghosts many times in the first copy. He stood there nervously, repeating Qi Yun's name over and over again. He repeated it softly and quickly, with a faint cry in his voice.
"Thirty seconds." Qi Yun's voice was so calm that it had the power to calm people.
Someone seemed to curse outside.
—"Just go away and leave him alone!"
-"no!!!"
"Bang, bang, bang!" Something hit the door fiercely, and the old door creaked under the heavy weight. The impact became more and more fierce, and it brought out a momentum of crushing everything in its path!
"Twenty seconds." The hurried footsteps sounded like someone climbing stairs.
"Bang!" The door burst open and the door panel hit the wall with a crackling sound.
Tang Ning wanted to turn around and run, but he didn't know where to run.
Heavy breathing could be heard, and a hand that was sweating from nervousness grabbed Tangning's wrist, "Run!"
That was the clear voice of a young boy.
A warm hand pulled Tangning's hand away from covering her eyes, "I'm Gu Ming!!!"
Tang Ning opened her eyes blankly and saw a handsome boy with an anxious expression.
Gu Ming
The player who created the group
"Fuck! Class is about to start!" A player outside the door was swearing. He suddenly raised his voice to a high pitch: "Fuck your mother! A big monster is coming!"
Gu Ming dragged Tangning out of the dormitory with him, and his voice became distorted, "Fuck Li Chengan, put down the banana peel!!!"
Tangning was dragged out of the dormitory by Gu Ming. He looked up and saw a tall and fat figure standing at the end of the corridor. At first glance, the NPC didn't look special.
Except for a fire axe in his hand.
"Which class are you from?! What's your student number?!" The NPC holding the fire axe angrily said, "Who told you to tear down the door?!"
A rotten banana peel was thrown at his feet, but the furious NPC didn't seem to notice the little thing. He ran over angrily, stepped on the banana peel, and fell to the ground with a bang!
Tangning opened his eyes wide.
He saw a familiar figure appear behind the fallen NPC. It was Qi Yun holding a mobile phone. Qi Yun held the breakfast bag in one hand and held the phone to his ear with the other.
Tangning also raised her phone and heard Qi Yun's cold voice: "Ten."
The slender, bony hand stretched out in his direction.
In the chaotic corridor, Qi Yun and Gu Ming reached out to him at the same time.
One that is spotless.
One has sweaty hands and is dusty.
Everything in front of him seemed to have been paused, like a movie, allowing Tang Ning to see every detail clearly. He saw that Qi Yun's handsome face was exceptionally cold, so cold that his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be frozen, and an indescribable sense of oppression filled the air.
He saw Gu Ming's frightened yet determined eyes again. The young man beside him tightly grasped his hand. The light that burst out from Gu Ming's eyes was like a candlelight swaying in the dark night, illuminating Tang Ning's cowardly soul.
The "Woodcutter Card" that Tang Ning had picked up from Song Linsu said that you have one chance to face the Golden Axe, the Silver Axe and the Iron Axe.
"Run!!!" Li Cheng'an's roar broke the still scene. Gu Ming suddenly exerted force and pulled Tang Ning to run towards another staircase!
Tang Ning was caught off guard and her entire body was pulled away by Gu Ming. She could no longer hold the phone to her ear. The "nine" coming from the phone disappeared in the noisy footsteps.
Tang Ning and Gu Mingcai ran out of the dormitory corridor when they heard heavy limping footsteps behind them.
"Damn it! Damn it! You guys are actually littering your garbage!" the NPC roared, "I'm going to deduct all your dormitory points!!!"
Gu Ming quickened his pace. The boy was as agile as a cheetah, his hair flying in the air. He went down the stairs so fast that Tang Ning's heart almost jumped out of her throat, fearing that he would miss a step in the next second!
"Don't run!" the angry NPC yelled, "No running allowed in the dormitory!!!"
The hysterical roar was left behind.
Tang Ning followed Gu Ming down flight after flight of stairs. They ran so fast that their whole world began to spin. Their heart was beating so hard that they could hardly breathe. As they turned a corner, Gu Ming suddenly loosened his grip on Tang Ning's hand.
Tang Ning stared at Gu Ming's back in shock.
Without his burden, Gu Ming's speed suddenly increased and he disappeared around the corner in an instant.
Tang Ning's mind went blank.
Why did Gu Ming leave him behind
Does Gu Ming want his death to hold back the NPCs behind him
He was abandoned.
He made the wrong choice.
A great despair overwhelmed him.
"Boom boom boom!!!" The sound of deep and shallow footsteps sounded behind me. The NPC behind me was about to catch up!
Tang Ning ran down the stairs mechanically. His physique was already weak due to the effect of the cards, and his strength was also exhausted in the escape with Gu Ming just now. Add to that the heavy blow of Gu Ming giving up on him. This series of experiences combined made Tang Ning's legs feel heavy as if they were filled with lead, and as soft as a noodle that could fall from the upstairs at any time.
Tangning's dizzy brain caused him to see double images. He bit the tip of his tongue hard, and the taste of rust spread in his mouth.
No!
Don’t give up!!!
He had gone through so much in the first dungeon, and he didn't give up even when a ghost jumped on him. How could he give up so easily now? !
Run faster! Run faster! Run faster!!!
Tang Ning's exhausted body desperately burst out with the last bit of strength. He rushed towards the dormitory door. The moment he walked out of the dormitory door, Gu Ming, who was riding a bicycle, suddenly appeared in the morning light. The young man walked towards the light, and was coated with a layer of gold by the sun. The whole person was shining.
He yelled at Tangning, "Get in the car!"
It turns out that Gu Ming just went to look for a bicycle!
After realizing this, Tang Ning's nose felt sore. He suddenly regained his strength and ran to Gu Ming's side. He quickly sat on the back seat of the bicycle. The moment he sat on the bicycle, Gu Ming kicked his long legs and shouted to Tang Ning, "Hold on tight!"
The morning breeze blew past, blowing away the thin layer of sweat that had just appeared on his forehead. Tang Ning held on to the rear seat with both hands, fearing that he would be thrown off. However, Gu Ming rode very steadily, and they moved lightly through the huge campus. The NPC who was limping after them with a fire axe in his hand was left behind and could only stamp his feet in anger.
Tang Ning's heart was beating violently. He watched the NPC gradually shrink into a black dot in his field of vision. Only when it became so small that he could no longer see it clearly did he have the energy to observe other things.
The bicycle sped past the wisteria flowers that looked like clouds and waterfalls. The petals fell on Tang Ning's shoulders. The ivy on both sides formed a continuous green wave. The reflection of the willow trees could be seen on the clear lake.
Gu Ming suddenly let go of one hand, circled his thumb and index finger, put it to his mouth, and blew a long whistle!
The loud and melodious whistle sounded like a cheerful bird chirping in Tang Ning's chest, helping him dispel his fear and anxiety.
Then Gu Ming sped up and rushed towards the old teaching building on his bicycle.
He parked the car quickly and then ran towards the classroom with Tang Ning.
Tang Ning ran out of breath, but Gu Ming still had the energy to look back at Tang Ning's flushed face. The boy had a pair of very bright eyes, especially when he looked at Tang Ning, those eyes were so bright that they sparkled.
Tang Ning did not notice Gu Ming's gaze. He was so exhausted that his eyes were black and his head was buzzing. Every time he climbed a step, it was torture. He was almost dragged to the classroom by Gu Ming and then pushed to sit on a seat by the window. After panting for a while in the seat, Tang Ning's brain was able to resume thinking.
There was a workbook with his name on it on the desk. If it weren't for Gu Ming's help, Tang Ning wouldn't have been able to find his seat.
Gu Ming sat down next to Tang Ning. His long legs seemed to have nowhere to go in the small space. He took out a bottle of mineral water and a piece of bread from the drawer. Gu Ming handed the mineral water to Tang Ning, "Here, drink it."
Tang Ning's mouth was extremely dry, but he didn't dare drink too quickly, fearing that he would vomit it out. He held the bottle and moistened his throat bit by bit.
While Tangning was drinking water, Gu Ming broke the bread in half and said, "Class starts in one minute. Come on, eat a few more bites to fill your stomach."
Students started to walk into the classroom one after another, and Tangning even saw a few familiar faces among them.
It’s the people who blocked the door this morning!
Tang Ning couldn't help but widen his eyes, his hands still diligently stuffing the bread into his mouth, his cheeks bulging like a weak, pitiful, helpless but greedy little squirrel.
When Gu Ming saw Tang Ning like this, he forgot about eating his bread and only focused on looking at Tang Ning.
He looked at Tang Ning with a strange look.
It didn't feel like meeting a stranger, but rather like seeing someone very familiar.
Tangning was stared at for a while, then he looked away from those people's faces and turned to look at Gu Ming. Tangning was very grateful to the player who saved him. He had something stuffed in his mouth, so his words were a little unclear, "Xie Xie, you saved me."
Gu Ming continued to look at Tangning with that strange gaze. He opened his mouth and whispered, ""
The bell for class rang at the same time as Gu Ming's answer. Tang Ning could only see Gu Ming's mouth opening and closing, but could not hear what he was saying.
Tangning blinked blankly.
Gu Ming suddenly smiled a little embarrassedly. The young boy put his lips close to Tangning's ear and said loudly, "You're welcome—"
"Because I'm your fan!"
