Chapter 65: Do You Want to Live?


    Luo Yi thought about it and agreed with his partner. He studied the giant lock. “But… who would imprison him here and why?”


    “It has to be the higher staff who is behind this.” Zhen Jianren said, “As for why… We’ll have to ask him.”


    “Now?” Luo Yi shrunk his neck.


    Zhen Jianren nodded. “Yes.”


    “Wait!” Luo Yi turned to Zhen Jianren and frowned, “If he’s really imprisoned here, why doesn’t he run or call the police?”


    Zhen Jianren halted. Clearly, Luo Yi’s words reminded him of something. Several secondster, Zhen Jianre pursed his lips and looked at the empty yard. “I think I know why the old man is limping…”


    Hearing that, Luo Yi shuddered.


    …


    Zhou Taifu grabbed the clothes he borrowed as he tailed Xu Wen carefully. Zhang Yinyin stayed a distance away from them.“It’s so cold…” Zhou Taifu grumbled softly. At the same time, he saw Xu Wen frown from the corner of his eyes, so he astutely stoppedining. The trio said nothing along the way. Zhou Taifu didn’t have breakfast, so he was cold and hungry. When he passed by the convenience store, he jogged in and bought three warm soy milk. When he rushed out, holding the three cups, the female students lining up stared at him strangely.


    Zhou Taifu took a sip, and colour returned to his face. “Miss Xu,” He suggested tentatively, “Isn’t it a bit dangerous for us to go to the music ssroom? Why don’t… we call Feng Lan to join us?” Feng Lan seemed to know the school''s history. Plus, Zhen Jianren had tested her with the camera before. She was not a ghost.


    Xu Wen moved up the steps, avoiding the puddles on the ground. She didn’t like getting wet. It reminded her of the time she spent in the South East Asian Rainforest with her mates.


    Just as Zhou Taifu thought his words had fallen on deaf ears, Xu Wen’s voice returned, “The ghost in this mission has changed. Feng Lan was not a ghost yesterday, but that doesn’t mean she’s not a ghost today.”


    Zhou Taifu was shocked and said, “No… Can that happen?”


    At that moment, Xu Wen, who walked in the front, stopped. Then, she slowly lifted her head. It was an unfamiliar building before her. It looked more impressive than Block C, where the music ssroom was.


    After Zhou Taifu steadied himself, he looked at the building and scratched his head with confusion. “Where are we?” Zhou Taifu asked before turning to Xu Wen, “Aren’t we… supposed to go to the music ssroom?” He paused before adding, “That’s at Block C.”


    “It looks like we were going the wrong way.” Zhang Yinyin suddenly chuckled. There was something ufortable about the way she was acting. Zhou Taifu turned to her and realised the girl was also staring at him.


    “Then, you can go to Block C on your own.” Zhang Yinyin removed the cap of her dinosaur pyjama. She had a sharp bob. Her sweetness and innocence was gone. “In any case… we’re at our destination.”


    No matter how dumb he was, Zhou Taifu finally reacted. He stared at Zhang Yinyin and gasped, “Are we not going to the music ssroom in the first ce?”


    Xu Wen slowly turned around. She looked past Zhou Taifu to study Zhang Yinyin. Eventually, she said, “Do you want to live?” It was said with zero emotion.


    “Who are you to question me?” Zhang Yinyin shot back. “Hand over the thing, and I will consider cooperating with you.


    “Then… all of us can live.”


    Xu Wen shook her head. “I said… Do you want to live?”


    Zhang Yinyin’s face chilled. The woman before her was a lot more difficult to fool than the woman in the qipao. “What do you mean?” Zhang Yinyin grumbled darkly.


    Xu Wen was still as unfazed as ever. “I have something important to do. It’s very dangerous, and I can’t allow any room for mistakes. I can bring you with me.” She paused, “If you want to live.”


    Zhang Yinyin chuckled again, “Who do you think you are to assume I’d be under your control?”


    “So…” Xu Wen asked, “Do you not want to live?”


    “Don’t think…” Zhang Yinyin suddenly paused. The condescension froze on her face. The next second, blood poured out of her mouth. She choked on her words. She slowly turned around. A killer’s face looked back at her.


    “You…” Her eyes filled with disbelief.


    Zhou Taifu wiped the de on his tank top. His action was perfect. He looked like he had just ughtered a chicken and not a human. Zhang Yinyin swayed and copsed. Her consciousness faded. Blood poured out of her wound.


    “What should we do with her body?” Zhou Taifu put away the dagger and nced at Xu Wen, “Should we search it?”


    Xu Wen looked down on the dead Zhang Yinyin. Her dinosaur pyjama would soon be dyed by blood.


    “No need.” Xu Wen shook her head. “This ce is secluded enough. The corpse will soon disappear.” Then, she added, “Didn’t you hear her? She thought the thing was with me.”


    Zhou Taifu frowned. “Then, who has the thing?” Only two teams remained. Jiang Cheng and Fatty, as well as Zhen Jianren and Luo Yi.


    “It doesn’t matter,” Xu Wen shrugged, “Those teams will probably fail and die.


    “We didn’t have the upper hand this time, but once they all die,” her eyes chilled, “The thing will naturally be ours next time.”


    Zhou Taifu straightened up and nodded unwillingly, “I suppose.” Throughout this mission, Zhou Taifu kept his back bent forward. It made him look cowardly and pretentious. However, as he straightened himself, one could even see the muscles around his limbs.


    “I think we should move her corpse into the forest,” Zhou Taifu licked his lips as he looked around, “I fear some students or teachers might discover her and cause us trouble.”


    Xu Wen shook her head. She looked around and uttered, “Unnecessary. Didn’t you notice that there are fewer and fewer students and staff on campus?”
