The door slammed shut, and Chen Zhaoxing's strange scream abruptly stopped.
It wasn't because the door had good sound insulation, but because he quieted down on his own.
Everything happened so fast that it took a full two seconds for Qi Yinming to belatedly curse, "Damn it!"
"What does he want to do?!"
Zhu Yan pointed at the mirror and motioned with his hand downward, signaling the others to calm down first.
"Let's see the situation first. What if he can really get some information?"
In the surveillance mirror, Chen Zhaoxing was standing a few steps away from Tu Shan, holding his hands up in a surrender gesture.
Hurry up, buddy.
Zhu Yan silently urged in his heart.
Hurry up and follow Tu Shan farther away. Walk towards the room at the end of the corridor as that fake [Hunter] said. Don't just wander around under the surveillance!
With people under the surveillance, how could he cause any trouble?
"He already said just now," Zhu Yan put on an expression of regret on the surface, his whole face tensed up nervously.
"He wants to go undercover. Damn it, I should have stopped him if I had known earlier..."
Qi Yinming shook his head, indicating that it was okay, and wanted to open the door and go out.
Zhu Yan quickly stopped him and said, "Trust me, don't act rashly for now. Chen Zhaoxing has good abilities, and look—"
He pointed at the mirror.
In the mirror, Chen Zhaoxing was politely explaining to Tu Shan that he meant no harm.
Outside the door, his somewhat unclear voice came in synchronously.
"Classmate, are you Tu Shan? I'm sent by Zhu Zeyu to inquire about the situation. Uh..."
He thought about his lines: "Did you come here because of the floor change?"
Zhu Yan keenly noticed that Chen Zhaoxing's fingers moved.
He was obviously on guard against the knife in Tu Shan's hand, as if he was ready to turn into a cockroach to heal himself at any time.
However, Tu Shan probably wouldn't make a move.
Zhu Yan thought casually.
That fake [Hunter] had assigned a task to Tu Shan. It wanted living humans.
Wasn't Chen Zhaoxing a ready - made one?
...
Outside the door.
Tu Shan sized up the somewhat short and thin boy in front of him, and instinctively wanted to swing his knife to test its sharpness.
The corridor was very cold, and the moisture seeped directly into the flesh.
At this temperature, would fresh hot blood steam?
"Yes, I am," Tu Shan finally didn't make a move. He forced out a smile reluctantly and then glanced warily at the door that Chen Zhaoxing had come out of.
303.
Oh, the dormitory door was different from the one he had visited before. The shiny black color looked very high - class.
"Did you just install this dormitory door?" he squinted his eyes.
"Yes," Chen Zhaoxing said cautiously, "Zhu Zeyu said it's stronger than ordinary doors. It's a pity that this door doesn't have a peephole."
"Moreover, it has excellent sound insulation. You can't hear anything from the outside."
"Uh, they can't see the situation outside, so they sent me out to ask."
Zhu Yan couldn't help but give a mental thumbs - up.
Damn it, Chen Zhaoxing is reliable at the critical moment!
He doesn't mention the surveillance at all, but emphasizes the absence of a peephole.
With this little set of tricks, who would suspect Zhu Zeyu?
Outside the door, Tu Shan grunted and tightened his grip on the army knife.
Sure enough, the top - ranked player is rich. They can just change the dormitory door whenever they want.
What did this short player say just now?
"Sent you out because they can't see. It's very much in line with classmate Zhu's style," Tu Shan casually shifted the blame onto Zhu Yan, but he was extremely delighted in his heart.
It seemed that Zhu Zeyu really didn't notice anything and knew nothing.
"You're a new player? I haven't seen you before."
Chen Zhaoxing's lips twitched upward in a strange way, but he managed to hold it back.
"Yes," he said rather excitedly. "I just finished the opening - school dungeon. It was so scary!"
Zhu Yanting was speechless.
Xu Tongguang whispered behind him, "Scary to whom? To me?"
Yang Zhanbai scratched his head, clearly trying not to laugh.
Qi Yinming frowned and said, "Why didn't Tu Shan take action against him?"
Of course, he wouldn't.
Tu Shan looked at the "new player" in front of him and nodded silently.
Zhu Zeyu hadn't come out yet, and his [Hunter] senior needed living people.
He didn't want to touch the people in his own dormitory. Those people had been "tamed" by him and were his qualified subordinates.
This new player was a good candidate.
His level was not high, and he didn't seem to have strong abilities.
Tu Shan decided not to pretend anymore.
Under the dim white light of the emergency lamp, he showed a fake and flimsy smile to Chen Zhaoxing.
With a gentle flick of his wrist, the military knife flipped over nimbly, cutting through the air with a dull sound, and rushed straight towards Chen Zhaoxing's artery!
"Me—" Yang Zhanbai couldn't hold it in any longer.
He rushed forward to open the door, but Zhu Yanting quickly stepped forward and grabbed his wrist.
"No!" he shouted.
"The guy is about to die!" Yang Zhanbai was so anxious that he was almost sweating. "Zhu Zeyu, you could just take out Tu Shan. That [Hunter]..."
"Tu Shan doesn't want to kill him," Zhu Yanting interrupted him directly, speaking very fast and not daring to take his eyes off the mirror.
"If this guy really wanted to kill someone, there wouldn't be such a long pre - action. He'd just strike right away."
Yang Zhanbai's hand that had reached for the doorknob stopped.
Zhu Yanting didn't dare to let go of him. "Look, he clearly has other intentions."
"Other intentions?"
In the mirror, Tu Shan lifted his chin in a certain direction, urging the other person to leave quickly.
"Let me tell you, don't think about playing any tricks."
The blade was almost touching Chen Zhaoxing's flesh.
"The level of this knife of mine is far higher than yours."
Tu Shan's cold voice was muffled by the thick door as it reached the ears of the people inside.
One set of footsteps followed another, passing by not far from Room 303. If you listened carefully, you could still hear a bit of an echoing sound in the empty corridor.
On the surveillance mirror, Tu Shan was actually escorting Chen Zhaoxing towards the depth of the corridor, in a completely opposite direction from Room 106!
"Where are they going?" Qi Yinming also thought that something was amiss. "Zhu Zeyu, maybe we should follow them and have a look."
"Right," Xu Tongguang chimed in. "It's too dangerous, and there's indeed some information. We'll be safer with more people."
Yang Zhanbai frowned, his lips tightly pressed together, clearly very tense about the current situation.
Qin Yang and Yuan Chen didn't seem to care much. They looked like they didn't mind going anywhere.
Zhu Yanting stepped forward and gently pressed down on the doorknob.
This was the moment!
They had to stop - and kill Tu Shan before they reached that room.
"No," he said in a low voice. "We can't put all our eggs in one basket. If that place is very dangerous, if we all go there, we'll all be doomed."
He turned to the others behind him, his gaze firm.
"I caused this, so I'll follow them from a distance and have a look first."
Yang Zhanbai was shocked. "You just recovered from your injury. Why are you getting involved again?"
"Yang Zhanbai, keep an eye on the forum information," Zhu Yan said in an extremely firm tone. "Or, you can also find a way to take a look inside Dormitory 106."
"I have the highest ability level and the highest weapon level among us, and I can launch long-range attacks."
[Complaint] It's true that he can launch long-range attacks, and the level of his Grade 5 dinner knife is indeed higher than those items in [Online Mall].
Zhu Yan made a final decision, speaking in an unassailable manner.
"Stay here and wait. I'll send back news!"
