Amid the rustling sound of a large number of books falling, there was also the sound of Li Jing shouting.

This sudden scene left Chen Mu confused.

How come the bookshelf collapsed?

Judging from the sound, Li Jing was hit and was probably buried in the pile of books.

Could it be that the black-robed reader started to fight back and started a fight with Li Jing and the others?

Chen Mu hesitated for a moment. He also felt a sense of pressure.

It should have been Christmas Eve, but first the black-robed reader came back inexplicably, then there were screams from the toilet downstairs, and now something happened to Li Jing again.

Accidents happen one after another, making it hard to cope with them.

Chen Mu had a hunch that there would likely be casualties tonight.

With no way out, Chen Mu weighed the pros and cons and walked towards the collapsed bookshelf cautiously.

He believed that Li Susu, Zhang Mengshan who were upstairs, and Wang Dulan who had rushed upstairs, had all heard the loud noise here.

Will they come to support us? Not likely.

Chen Mu approached the bookshelf cautiously, just in time to see Li Jing's outstretched hand among the pile of books.

Li Jing's hands were waving wildly, throwing away the books that were pressing on him one by one.

But there were too many books and the bookshelf was pressing on his feet, so he couldn't get out for a while.

Chen Mu stepped forward and began to help Li Jing push the books off his body.

"Li Jing? Is that you? Don't worry, I'll get you out."

Chen Mu asked anxiously. He was eager to know what happened to Li Jing.

Soon, with the help of Chen Mu, the book that was pressing on Li Jing's upper body was finally removed.

Li Jing poked his head out from the pile of books and breathed in the outside air frantically.

His face looked a little flustered, and when he saw Chen Mu for the first time, Li Jing subconsciously avoided his sight.

Chen Mu asked anxiously, "What happened? What happened to you two? Were you attacked by the black robe? Where is Tian Qi?"

Facing Chen Mu's questioning, Li Jing shook his head, "I don't know. We were here just now and saw the black robe. Tian Qi chased after him and I followed behind.

After turning a corner, Tian Qi and the man in black robe disappeared.

I was scared and was looking everywhere for it, but the bookshelf suddenly collapsed."

At this point, Li Jing looked at Chen Mu and smiled gratefully, "Thanks to you, otherwise I would probably die here. By the way, why are you here?"

"There was an accident in the bathroom downstairs. There were screams." Chen Mu roughly recounted what happened in the bathroom. "Wang Dulan went to find Zhang Mengshan and the others. Everyone should gather downstairs later."

While the two were talking, with the help of Chen Mu, Li Jing finally struggled and crawled out from the pile of books, limping as he was supported by Chen Mu.

"Where did Tian Qi disappear last?" Chen Mu asked.

Li Jing pointed in a direction, which was beyond a dozen rows of bookshelves.

"Shall we go find Tian Qi?" Li Jing asked. He was a little flustered and seemed undecided.

"Don't go yet. The situation is very chaotic now and you are injured. If we go, we will just die." Chen Mu supported Li Jing and said:

"Let's go to the second floor first. Wang Dulan and the others should be there. Let's meet up first. We can't separate any further. The risk is too great!"

Chen Mu supported Li Jing and walked down the stairs towards the second floor.

When Chen Mu and the other two arrived, just as Chen Mu had guessed, Wang Dulan and the other two did not dare to come to the third floor to help, but waited anxiously a few bookshelves outside the toilet on the second floor.

When they saw Chen Mu and Li Jing limping over, the three of them hurried over.

"I heard some noise from your place. The bookshelf fell down?" Li Susu asked, "Is everyone okay?"

"Li Jing was hit and Tian Qi's whereabouts are unknown." Chen Mu said.

Li Jing quickly repeated to the three people what he had just said to Chen Mu.

After listening to this, everyone fell silent, with anxiety written all over their faces.

Wang Dulan suddenly said, "You think...the one who was screaming and killed in the toilet, could it be Tian Qi?"

"Didn't you say it was a woman screaming?" Zhang Mengshan frowned.

"Yes, it sounded like a female voice, but it was Empress Tian Qi, and her mouth was covered, so who knows if the sound was that of a female." Wang Dulan hit back.

This speculation is not without basis. It is not uncommon for such things to happen in Guimen.

"How did Tian Qi get to the second floor? Could it be that the men in black started kidnapping players?" Li Susu analyzed.

"Don't guess so much, just go in and take a look and you'll know." Chen Mu interrupted, "First take care of the one in the toilet, then go find Tian Qi."

The players looked at each other and nodded, agreeing with Chen Mu's proposal.

There are five players in total now. With more people, everyone feels a little more confident.

Zhang Mengshan was the strongest, and he walked in front despite his fear.

But when I say "in front", it's only half a body length forward.

Everyone walked into the toilet, no one dared to speak. In the quiet toilet, there was a faint aroma of incense.

As soon as we entered the restroom, without the sound insulation of the walls, everyone could clearly hear a woman crying and wailing coming from the last cubicle of the restroom.

The sound of crying was particularly creepy in the library toilet late at night.

Everyone approached cautiously, trying not to make any noise, and slowly approached the last compartment.

There was a slight tension in the air. Wang Dulan couldn't help but move his throat slightly, and his hands were shaking with nervousness.

Suddenly, Zhang Mengshan, who was walking in front, did not notice that there was water under his feet.

It is normal to have a small pool of water in the toilet.

Normally, people don't care about it and it doesn't matter if they step on it. But on a quiet night, when shoes step into the puddles, a clear "click" sound can be heard!

The footsteps gave it away!

At the same time, the last compartment immediately became quiet.

The woman seemed to have her mouth covered tightly and could not make any sound.

Chen Mu and the others knew that the murderer in the cubicle had heard their footsteps!

Now both sides are aware of each other's existence, and they are confronting each other through the thin wooden door.

At this moment, the air seemed to be a little colder.

Chen Mu and his companions could feel that behind the cubicle door, there were a pair of eyes staring at them intently.

After a few seconds, Zhang Mengshan couldn't help it.

He just said "Damn it!", took a step forward, and punched the wooden door of the cubicle!

With a loud bang, the wooden door broke in the middle.

The door of the entire compartment became shaky in an instant.

"Damn it! Let me see what's causing this trouble!"

Zhang Mengshan shouted loudly, then used all his strength to lift the wooden door up.

While breaking the wooden door, Zhang Mengshan picked up a sharp wooden board and used it as his weapon.

As the wooden door was thrown aside, the scene in the compartment was suddenly exposed to the players.

The players looked at the cubicle, and were all stunned for a moment.
