Chapter 95: Questions


    The music ssroom was located on the fourth floor of Block C. Standing there, they could see the windows of the music ssroom or the former dance ssroom once they raised their heads. Maybe it was psychological, but it felt different when they returned to this ce.


    “Fatty,” Jiang Cheng didn’t enter the building directly. He stared at the dark Block C and said, “I believe the third rehearsal is the end of our time limit. If we figure out the truth, we can end the mission.” He added, “By that I mean… our mission.”


    Fatty couldn’t help but ask, “What about the other people’s missions?” Then, Fatty felt like it was too vague, so he rified, “I mean… What about the missions for people like Su Yu… and the ghost?”


    Su Yu’s mission was easy to understand. It was to stop the travellers from finding out the truth, escape the ghost and then survive. What Fatty was curious about was… Was Su Yu’s mission time limit different from theirs?


    “Do you remember what the woman who led us to the hostel at the start of the mission said?” Jiang Cheng provided a hint.


    “Do you mean the anniversary?” Fatty widened his eyes. “Is that when Su Yu’s mission will end?”


    “That will exin why Chen Yao hasn’t killed him until now. Compared to taking revenge, she cares more about her reputation. She will pick a suitable time to expose the truth, and I can’t think of a better time than during the anniversary.” Jiang Cheng resumed, “Of course, Su Yu will die after that.”


    Fatty figured out many things that confused him before. He took a long time to digest the information. “Doctor, is that why you said earlier that… no matter what we do, whether we are here or not, we can’t affect the results that have already urred in this world. What we can influence is limited to the process. In other words, no matter if weplete our mission or not, Su Yu will die to Chen Yao in the end,” Fatty paused with a worried face. A few secondster, he said, “And that death will happen during the school anniversary.”


    “Indeed.” Jiang Cheng’s lips curled. His face, which was hidden in the dark, gripped Fatty’s heart. “The past cannot be changed. All we can do is to survive and change… our own endings.”At that moment, Jiang Cheng’s image expanded in Fatty’s heart. He was powerful and mysterious.


    Jiang Cheng straightened his back. Just as Fatty thought Jiang Cheng was about to give some inspiring speech…


    “I can’t die.” Jiang Cheng puffed out his chest. “So manydies became VIPs because of my face. I can’t let them down.”


    Fatty shivered. He almost pped the man.


    …


    Block C. Fourth Floor. The music ssroom.


    The empty ssroom was dark. Two silhouettes could be seen in the dark. One was seated, and the other was standing. The seated one looked so scared. The thin andnky body trembled as blood flowed down his forehead. Some blood leaked into his eyes, making it painful every time he blinked. However, he didn’t dare to close his eyes. He stared ahead fearfully.


    There was a giant mirror… before him. The mirror was misty, like the fog of hell had risen.


    No. He was not seated. Both of his legs had been brutally broken!


    He was kneeling before the mirror like a pious disciple. The chilling gazes wandered over his body.


    “Let… let me go.” He opened his lips and pleaded in a low voice. Blood oozed out of his lips. It was clear that the man was heavily injured. Bruises covered every inch of his body.


    The woman beside him was unmoved. If anything, she found him annoying. She kicked the man in the stomach, causing him to spit out another mouthful of blood. The woman was very agile, but her action was stuttery like her bnce was affected.


    She reached out her left hand to tighten the bandage around her right arm. The pain lingered on her face for one second. Then, she reverted to bing the Asura from hell.


    Xu Wen didn’t mind losing an arm. After all, once she cleared the mission, she could return to the real world, and all the injuries would be healed.


    But… She bit on her thin lips, and her eyes blurred. Her lover would never return again. She pulled out the few pieces of paper Zhou Taifu tossed her before he died. The pages were wrinkled, but the content could be read clearly. This was Chen Yao’s dairy. Even though there was only thetter half of the book, Xu Wen had alreadye to a conclusion based on all the clues she had found so far.


    Su Yu was a liar. He raged after failing to make sexual advances on Chen Yao. He told a giant lie, not knowing that it would open the gate to hell. More than ten lives perished because of him…


    This mission was impossibly hard. Including her, three people were still alive.


    However… she would be the only person to leave this nightmare alive. Only then would she be able to grasp that thing in itspleted version.


    She stared at her stump. Perhaps she was crying, or perhaps she wasughing. It was because of the thing that she managed to survive the ghost’s ambush. If she didn’t have that thing, she… would be with her lover already.


    She never had any regrets because regrets would never solve any problems. However, this time, she had a regret. She regretted not warning Zhou Taifu when she first saw the ghost. She shrunk back. Fear took over her at that moment. After all… she didn’t know if that thing was really useable.


    If she were given a second chance…


    Unfortunately, there was no second chance in the nightmare realm. She had seen many impressive people fall in the nightmare realm because of a small mistake.


    The nightmare realm was unlike the rainforest or the Siberian desert. The dangers here were like hidden snakes. They would strike when you thought you were safe. That was the horror and the charm of the nightmare realm.


    She was one of the few who voluntarily entered the nightmare…


    Slowly, she raised her head. The fog in the mirror dissipated to reveal the many pale faces.


    It… had finally arrived.
