Chapter 2 part 2
“He acted as if he was being possessed,” Xiaomi recalled the situation. It still feels horrible.
Xu Turan said in her heart, ‘Be more confident and remove ‘as if’.’
As a transmigrator, she is more sensitive in some aspects than others, and can see more things—
Did the class monitor look like he was trying to choke himself?
Xu Turan could clearly see at that time, there was a black shadow. The shadow had been controlling his hands, and the class monitor was just trying to desperately get out from him.
The class president must have unconsciously revealed what he saw at that time and as a result, he was ‘punished’.
That was why she used the knife to stab the floor – to be more precise, she stabbed the head of the black shadow. The black shadow was stabbed painfully so it escaped, and the class monitor was saved.
Thinking about this, Xu Turan couldn’t help but reach out and touch the tail ring on her pinky finger.
This was not an ordinary ring, but an item to open the mystery box given by the system. It possesses the characteristic to allow the wearer to attack all existence. If not for this ring, Xu Turan isn’t sure if she could have saved the person on the ground.
Fortunately, this type of fishing up people on the spot doesn’t seem to be in the restrictions for a transmigrator’s behavior, which makes Xu Turan more or less relieved. After all, she just came here to die, not to collect dead bodies of people, try to really like that sort of story plot of letting all the people die. God knows how much trouble will come after that.
Xu Turan’s eyes turned slightly. She saw Xiaomi had begun to organize the consequences of the chaos on the table, assuming that she is ready to put the board game away. So the cards and the small flashlight in their hands were put back.
Her next question was about the seventh person who was supposed to attend the party. But Xiaomi looked confused, “Who else is coming? I don’t know. We were the only ones who were scheduled to come.”
Xu Turan was added later.
After listening to her finish speaking, Xu Turan stood up on the pretext that she wanted to relax. She went upstairs alone and wandered around the homestay— It was to find the ‘seventh person’ who wasn’t at the scene, and to avoid more questions about saving people. After all, she doesn’t understand medicine that well, and she can’t guarantee that she won’t expose herself if she was interrogated.
The second and third floors of the homestay were all bedrooms, plus two rooms on the first floor and the first floor, there were a total of six bedrooms. The rooms weren’t locked so Xu Turan went inside one by one. She didn’t find a person, so she returned to the hall on the first floor.
Just downstairs, she heard the sound of the dice rolling. Xu Turan took a look and was a little surprised: “Why are you guys playing this again?”
She saw a large colored map spread on the table. It was the same previous box of board games. Someone was holding a flashlight on the event card, and the light was blindingly bright.
Because of the incident earlier, the group was no longer so distant and cold to her. Few of the girls actively greeted her and brought her snacks and drinks, but no one answered her question. Xu Turan sensed that there was something wrong, so she asked again only to see confusion on Gu Xiaoya’s face.
“Because… since they all started playing, they should play until the end ah,” she said rightfully, seemingly feeling that there was nothing wrong with her logic, “And we have nothing to do now…. Right, do you drink Coke?”
Xu Turan: “… Forget it, thanks.”
Because the class monitor didn’t complete the challenge in the ‘event card,’ he was ‘disqualified’ in the game like Xu Turan and was now sitting alone on the corner and playing with his phone. Xu Turan thought about it, went over to him and sat next to him: “Are you okay?”
The class monitor looked up at her, smiled awkwardly, and put away the phone: “Just now, I haven’t thanked you for saving me.”
“It’s alright. By the way,” Xu Turan took out a packet of an unopened rainbow candy from the shelf next to her, “How did you explain it to them just now?”
“… That I went crazy.” There was a subtle expression on the class monitor’s face, “Because… I can’t tell them.”
He looked deeply at Xu Turan and asked her back: “What about you? Did you also… see that?”
Xu Turan stretched out two fingers and pulled them over her lips. The class monitor was stunned for a moment and barely managed to react after. His just recovered face was once again miserably pale white.
This question, Xu Turan fortunately didn’t answer. Once answered, it is equivalent as revealing as what he saw again. His punishment just now, he was afraid and didn’t want it to come again.
With fear on his face, the class monitor gratefully looked at Xu Turan. The latter smiled and said, “I indeed saw something unclean before.”
This sentence answered the class monitor’s doubts. The incident that happened, he can’t just allow himself not to believe it. He pushed his glasses, looked around nervously, and lowered his voice: “Then, you do feel that something is very wrong here.”
Xu Turan let out an ‘oh’ and knowingly asked him: “How can you say?”
“The overall atmosphere is just weird and depressing,” the class monitor said, “And don’t you think it is getting colder? But it’s June now.”
Indeed, when the temperature should be very high, the room was somehow filled with an uncomfortable chill.
“Also, the cell phones. Everyone had a problem with their phone in that emergency situation. It was either they couldn’t find it, or they were dead. My phone was on that table, but no one saw it — But just now, once the things had simmered down, all the problems were gone, and the phones worked just fine. This is the strangest thing.”
Xu Turan: “…”
No, the strangest thing was that you were almost sent away, and your classmates are still in the mood to play board games next to you. And you actually think that this is no problem at all.
Knowing that the hearse she racked her brains just to get on is finally on its way, Xu Turan swallows the candy in her mouth with a complicated feeling; she turns the ring on her little finger a little.
“Speaking of which, who brought this box of board games here?”
“I’m not sure. It was there when I came. Maybe it was placed there by the homestay….” The class monitor said, quite unsure.
This seems to make sense. Xu Turan pursed her lips and sat upright.
“Be prepared.” Due to the restrictions of a transmigrator, she couldn’t be too obvious. “I have a feeling that this thing isn’t over yet. A hand may suddenly come from the back again later….”
As if agreeing with her words — plum opening two. The next instant, another scream came from the table next to them.
