Chapter 1808: Chapter 1653: Death Game 5
The high school student next to Miao Shuangshuang trembled when the bald middle-aged male teacher called him, his eyes turning red, filled with undisguised fear.
Despite the overwhelming terror, the high school student dared not hesitate and quickly stood up, left the classroom to fetch a broom, dustpan, and mop from the utility room to clean the floor.
Miao Shuangshuang stood up, opened the window beside her, and clear air from outside rushed in, instantly replacing the stale air in the classroom.
The persistent strange odor finally dispersed, and Miao Shuangshuang breathed a sigh of relief as the nauseating feeling subsided.
After cleaning the floor, the high school student obediently returned to sit next to Miao Shuangshuang, not daring to roam around.
The rest of the class session was uneventful, and no one dared to escape while the teacher’s back was turned.
After the English class ended, all courses for the day concluded, and during lunchtime, students in the classroom seemed relaxed as they began discussing what dishes to eat.
Miao Shuangshuang stood up and followed the students on their way to the cafeteria, while the couple and Nail Girl gathered around the two veteran players, ready to follow them along.
The Non-mainstream man glanced at the group of clustered people, hesitated for a moment, then decided to walk alone instead of joining the veteran players.
The high school student, however, followed Miao Shuangshuang, and seeing Miao Shuangshuang look at him, he nervously said, "I, I’m Chi Qing, can I follow you?"
Miao Shuangshuang raised an eyebrow, finding Chi Qing interesting—he appeared timid but was quite composed.
Moreover, Miao Shuangshuang could sense that Chi Qing had been secretly observing her. When the two twins ran off earlier, Chi Qing wanted to follow.
Miao Shuangshuang and Chi Qing were seated not far from the back door, though there were some students sideways, being cautious was still plausible.
But upon realizing Miao Shuangshuang hadn’t moved, Chi Qing suppressed his impulse to leave several times, emulating Miao Shuangshuang by remaining seated in the classroom.
Now, Chi Qing proposed to accompany her, making Miao Shuangshuang amused; did this Chi Qing think she was a powerhouse and wanted to cling to her to clear the level?
"Why do you want to stay with me? If you’re scared, following those two veteran players is more reasonable.
There are more people around them, and they are experienced; I’m just a newbie. I can’t protect you nor have the capability to lead you through the level."
Chi Qing shook his head, "I, I don’t think those veteran players would care about a newbie like me. I just want to follow you. I won’t be a bother, please let me follow."
Miao Shuangshuang unexpectedly raised her eyebrows, finding this little guy quite perceptive. She nodded and left the classroom on her own, "If you want to follow, go ahead."
After all, Chi Qing’s legs are his own; if he truly wants to follow her, Miao Shuangshuang can’t stop him. Chi Qing sighed and happily followed beside Miao Shuangshuang.
The school cafeteria wasn’t small; the hall was filled with rows of tables and chairs. The cafeteria was bustling with noise; students lined up to get food and chatted, appearing cheerful.
"I saw Teacher Fan had scars again today; when I went to the restroom, I saw her secretly applying medicine."
"Really? Do you think Teacher Fan keeps getting hurt because her husband is abusing her?"
"I don’t know. Teacher Fan always says her husband is good to her, and I’ve seen her husband; he seems like a gentleman, not the type to hit his wife."
"Well, one can never be sure of these things. Some people seem gentle but are the real scoundrels behind closed doors. Judging by appearance can be misleading."
"But I think Teacher Fan looks genuinely happy when she sees her husband, not afraid at all. If she were beaten by her husband, she’d be scared of him, right?"
"When you put it that way, I think so too. Teacher Fan only seems truly scared when she sees our principal.
Last time, when the principal handed something to Teacher Fan, she was so frightened she nearly fell down the stairs. Her reaction was huge."
"Wasn’t it explained last time that Teacher Fan was walking ahead and didn’t see the principal behind her, which scared her? Besides, the principal and Teacher Fan aren’t enemies; it’s unlikely he’s the one hurting her."
Miao Shuangshuang queued, listening intently to the gossiping students ahead.
Earlier, while in the restroom, she heard rumors that a ghost might be in the girls’ dormitory, or someone could have killed students there.
Now, there’s more about Teacher Fan, her husband, and the school principal—messy and without any clarity, it’s unknown what relevance they have to future events.
The line continued forward, soon reaching the students ahead, who also stopped gossiping.
The cafeteria’s meals didn’t require a meal card or money; you just grabbed a plate and started serving food. The aroma was appetizing, unlike the stereotypical cafeteria food.
Miao Shuangshuang picked some vegetables, ordered two pig trotters, a few chicken wings, and a plate of french fries.
All the meats were identifiable by their original animal forms, while other dishes like braised pork, despite smelling good, didn’t tempt her.
This was a bizarre horror game world; who knew if there might be some psychopath who liked serving human flesh?
Chi Qing mimicked Miao Shuangshuang’s choices exactly, taking an identical setup of dishes.
After grabbing their meals, the two prepared to find a place to eat and noticed the girl from the couple waving at two people in the corner, with several other remaining players there aside from the twins.
It seemed like they wanted to engage in player discussions; Miao Shuangshuang considered this and walked over, intending to listen for any useful information.
Chi Qing entirely followed Miao Shuangshuang’s lead, bringing his tray along as she walked over.
The tabletop in the corner was two rectangular tables combined, making a large table, and every corner in the cafeteria had such a table.
Now, the table could seat eight people. With all eight players seated, the couple, Nail Girl, and the Non-mainstream man merely poked at the food without taking bites.
The two veteran players calmly ate, and their pace wasn’t slow; Miao Shuangshuang, already hungry, unreservedly gnawed on the trotters.
The cafeteria’s trotters were well-seasoned and tender, quite palatable. Not knowing what might happen tonight, Miao Shuangshuang planned to eat her fill first.
Seeing Miao Shuangshuang eat with relish, Chi Qing hesitated, then grabbed a trotter and bit into it, trying to eat despite previously vomiting from witnessing the twins’ bloody death scene, leaving him with no appetite now.
