Chapter 12: Disappearance
The viewpoint switched to the room where [Bald Derrion] was.
In the team, he was the one who had the most impatient personality and a certain tendency to violence.
From the beginning, he neither trusted anyone, nor did he have any intention of following Edward''s orders.
As a worker, he had evolved from jealousy to hatred of the middle and upper ss life... After learning about Edward''s background, he disliked the rich boy from the bottom of his heart.
The seemingly benevolent Edward was a wolf in sheep''s clothing in his eyes.
Derrion drank a bottle of the liquor he had bought for his courage.
With a shlight and a wood chopper, he sneaked out of the room.
The power to the cottage had been cut off at 23:00 by Daqing, and the redntern only illuminated the aisle... A shlight was necessary at a time like this.
Derrion muttered this under his breath: "Statistically, the survival rate of neers is less than 1%.
Not to mention that the chances of us surviving a four-star difficulty malevolent-type event are perhaps not even one in a thousand.
I, Derrion, will die by my own choice even if I have to...having already been informed of the evil spirits in advance, why not kill her beforehand? Perhaps, this will dy the situation and increase the chances of survival."
Derrion''s idea was simple: kill [Sinister Chen Li] on the first night before the incident hadpletely worsened... That was why he had voluntarily chosen to live next door to Chen Li''s room.
Since Chen Li''s room was locked by an iron chain, if it was destroyed head-on, it might be heard by others.
Therefore, he chose to sneak in secretly.
Derrion went down the stairs and around to the back of the bungalow.
The intense work regime of "997" had made him train his muscles in the factory, and climbing such an old bungalow was a breeze.
But just as he climbed up the wall and stuck outside the window of Chen Li''s dorm room, his entire body froze at once!
The room is not pitch ck.
There was a red candle burning on the bed.
In the room lit by fire, Chen Li''s figure could not be seen at all.
What was even stranger was that the door that should have been locked was currently open.
"I even deliberately checked when I left the room, and Chen Li''s door is locked by chains, so it can''t be opened at all... How did it open?"
All sorts of strange phenomena created a sense of dread from within Derrion that was hard to dispel even through alcohol.
But he hade this far, and he would not back down.
The window was unlocked, so Derrion sneaked into Room 6.
"It''s cold..."
The temperature inside the room was probably 10C colder than outside...and it was as if the chill could seep into the marrow.
Just as Derrion brought up his wood chopper to fortify his courage.
Ta-ta-ta!
The silence of the night was broken by the sound of footsteps.
At the same time, a woman with a baby in her arms walked through the doorway.
The sight frightened Derrion''s body...but he managed to restrain the fear that spilled from his heart and steadied himself.
In the next second, he lunged forward with the help of alcohol and tried to drag Chen Li back to the door, dragging her back to her room to kill her.
Who knew. A mere two seconds or less apart, when Derrion chased her out of the room.
There were only a few rednterns hanging in the empty hallway that swayed in the wind, and no woman with a baby in her arms was to be seen.
"Where''s the person?"
Strange, unknown, iprehensible phenomena made Derrion be nervous, fear rising in his heart.
Derrion''s palms were covered in sweat, and his forehead likewise had sweat overflowing.
Phew....
A chill blew at the location behind Derrion''s ear.
A certain woman with ck hair was standing motionless behind him, spitting cold air from her mouth.
Ten icy fingers were attached like centipedes.
Traveling along Derrion''s neck to his cheeks.
The fingernail grooves were covered in mud.
Ten fingers sped around Derrion''s face, immobilizing him.
A force irresistible to humans erupted, quickly dragging Derrion, the strongest of the squad''s six, into the room.
ng! ng! ng! ng!
The door locked with the sound of a chain swinging.
...........
The next morning.
Younger brother Daqing powered up the bungalow at exactly six o''clock, followed by going up to the second floor and unlocking his sister''s door with the key.
Chen Li just changed clothes, behaved all right, followed her brother Daqing downstairs with her, and prepared breakfast for everyone.
For the members of the squad, the first night wasn''t too peaceful.
All of them experienced the event of waking up in the middle of the night to the sound of footsteps and a baby crying... Through the ss window of the door, a woman with a baby in her arms was seen wandering back and forth in the corridor!
Edward and the newsboy saw clearly that the woman passing by was none other than [Sinister Chen Li].
This experience scared everyone so much that they basically didn''t sleep well in the second half of the night....
"It''s just a simple scare, at least we''re all okay."
Edward reassured everyone as he looked at the assembled squad members in the room, "Where''s Derrion? Still sleeping?"
"I was just passing by and stole a nce...he didn''t seem to be in the room." Akaman, a devotee with his hands clutching the cross, whispered.
"Hurry up and check it out!"
Edward realized that something was wrong and ran quickly to the entrance of Derrion, and sure enough no one was inside.
Han Dong, who was standing at the end of the line, suggested as everyone was talking about it, "Let''s go ask Daqing, shall we? If Derrion leaves the bungalow early, Daqing, who lives on the first floor, should know."
Edward nodded and immediately left down the stairs, "Well...let''s hope nothing happens to Derrion."
Monica, the blonde woman following behind him, whispered underestimating, "This reckless bald head better be dead or we''ll all be killed by her sooner orter."
Although the voice was small, it was still heard by Han Dong who was walking at the end.
Actually, as far as Han Dong was concerned, he also had the same thought.
Derrion''s reckless actions could indeed invite ''trouble'' for the team... from a benefit perspective, dying would indeed help improve the survival rate of the entire team.
First Floor.
Little Brother Daqing was building a fire and preparing to cook noodles for everyone to eat, while his sister Chen Li was silently chopping vegetables on the side.
"Brother Daqing, have you seen the bald student with us...the one with a stronger build, with a head of a meter or so."
After cing the wood in his hands into the kitchen table, Daqing turned to the group of foreign students with a puzzled look on his face.
"A bald student? ...Aren''t you all here? I think I remember correctly that there were only five of you, right?"
"Five?" Han Dong looked confused.
"Right... weren''t the five of you brought by Granny Wang to follow up and record the ''return ceremony''? Right, sis?!"
Chen Li, who was silently cutting vegetables on the side, nodded slightly.
Daqing''s words caused the five members of the squad to startle violently.
The timid believer, Akaman, was even shocked to the point of taking two steps back and trembling slightly.
Apparently, there was a memory of Derrion that had beenpletely deleted from the event character''s brain.
As a side note, Derrion had been killedst night...the exact reason is unknown.
At the same time, an alert sounded.
Event time remaining 60 hours, number of survivors [5]
In the team of five, the only ones who were rtively calm were Han Dong and Edward.
Of course, Han Dong was still shocked inside, after all, arge living person had quietly disappeared, even the memories were deleted from the event person''s mind.
Unconsciously, a sense of fear had spread in the heart of every member of the team.
