Unexpectedly, it was the dungeon boss that led them out of the dungeon. In the Nightmare game, players have to find the dungeon entrance themselves. This operation stunned everyone watching the live stream.

Everyone was discussing it enthusiastically, and some people were still arguing about the newcomer's behavior.

Jiang Qi, who was in the center of the discussion, was completely unaware of this and simply followed silently behind Chu Qidie.

Xu Yan chattered incessantly beside her, as if she wanted to tell her all the grievances and joys she had experienced over the years.

Jiang Qi and the other three eventually understood the whole story, and Xu Yan couldn't accept Chu Qidie's death.

She went online and found a method that supposedly could revive people, but what she summoned was not only the original soul of Chu Qidie, but also another powerful evil spirit.

As for Xu Yan forgetting all her memories of Chu Qidie, that was also the work of this evil spirit. At the beginning, Chu Qidie was suppressed by the power of the evil spirit.

In order to protect Xu Yan, Chu Qidie even spared some of her resources to build such a school for her, allowing her to live a carefree life.

Perhaps due to her deep obsession with protecting Xu Yan, Chu Qidie managed to seize control of her body the moment Xu Yan called out her name and even devoured the evil spirit.

Chu Qidie led them to the top floor of the teaching building, but stopped at the door of a storage room in the corner.

Chu Qidie opened the door, looked at everyone, and said, "Enter this door, and you can leave."

Chu Qidie took something from Xu Yan and stuffed it directly into Jiang Qi's hand. The two of them took a step back and waved goodbye to them with smiles.

Jiang Qi didn't say anything, but smiled, nodded, turned around, and took Lu Zhi's hand as they entered through the door.

The moment Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue stepped inside, they heard a voice from outside wishing them happiness.

There was a bench inside the door, and a projection screen was hanging on the wall.

The four of them sat down on the bench without thinking. Then, someone stumbled in behind them—it was Bai Xiaoyu. He was still alive.

Jiang Qi chuckled cryptically and stopped paying attention to him, because the projector had started playing.

The projector showed a series of bullying and unfair treatment that Chu Qidie encountered after entering the school.

Jiang Qi and the other three also saw a familiar figure in the projection; it turned out to be a student with the same face as them bullying Chu Qidie.

"It wasn't until I met her that I felt a ray of light shine into my life."

Chu Qidie's voice came from the projection.

"They locked me in this abandoned storage room. It was so dark around me. I thought I was going to die here when the door opened and a pair of beautiful hands reached out to me, asking me how I was."

"I looked up at her, and the sunlight streaming in hurt my eyes, but that didn't stop me from seeing her clearly. She seemed to be radiating light, and I slowly tightened my grip on her hand."

"At that moment, the light shone on me, and I felt a warm feeling in my heart."

"The date was a sunny July 5th, the first day I met Xu Yan."

Chu Qidie's narration stopped, and the projection gradually showed the day she committed suicide.

This is Xu Yan's narration, her voice filled with sorrow and choking.

"That day was December 24th, Christmas Eve, a day when everyone was celebrating."

"I secretly slipped an apple into her desk, hoping that she would also be safe and healthy."

"The school is holding a fireworks display at night to celebrate this holiday, and I was thinking of taking you to watch the fireworks with me."

"Unfortunately, I couldn't find you just before the fireworks display started that night."

“I started to get scared. I looked for you everywhere. I went up to the top floor of the teaching building without thinking. I was afraid of not being able to find you, and even more afraid of finding you here.”

"Unfortunately, I was too late. I watched you jump right before my eyes. I hate myself for not coming sooner."

In the projection, fireworks bloomed behind Chu Qidie, illuminated by the brilliant light of the fireworks.

Chu Qidie leaped from the top floor, like a star falling from a magnificent starry sky, both dazzling and lonely.

At least for this moment, she was free and liberated; she could now fly like a butterfly.

But upon hearing Xu Yan's voice, she felt immense regret and could only close her eyes and softly say, "I'm sorry, Ayan."

"This day is Christmas Eve for everyone, but not for her, nor for me."

"Christmas Eve is not peaceful at all, Mom is lying."

The snow fell heavily that day, and Chu Qidie's blood stained the white snow red.

The people downstairs were terrified and screamed everywhere, but no one dared to go up and check.

At that moment, Xu Yan felt her heart die. She ran downstairs like a madwoman, but when she saw Chu Qidie's body, she just stood there stunned and walked forward.

Xu Yan slowly squatted down to check Chu Qidie's breathing, her fingers trembling uncontrollably.

Finally, upon learning that Chu Qidie would never return, he held her body and wept.

The incident alarmed the teachers and principal, and none of them dared to take any action.

After all, they were also afraid that Xu Yan might suddenly go crazy. They had always been indifferent to human life.

He stopped paying attention to the matter and simply dismissed the surrounding students.

Occasionally, a few students passing by would complain that the dead were bad luck, but Xu Yan remained unmoved.

She simply held Chu Qidie's body, doing nothing but sitting there for a long time until daylight arrived.

The falling snow enveloped both the person and the corpse. Xu Yan didn't know how much willpower she had to keep herself from freezing to death in the snow.

They were separated when the police arrived. Chu Qidie's body was put into a police car, and Xu Yan was taken to the hospital.

Xu Yan also had a high fever for two days, and kept calling out Chu Qidie's name.

On the first day of her recovery, Xu Yan locked herself in her home and refused to face reality.

This situation lasted for several days. When she reappeared, she was extremely thin and her hair was disheveled.

After tidying himself up, he inquired about Chu Qidie's situation at home and then went out.

Xu Yan also went to the school, and when she came out, she had the iron box and a magnolia flower in her hand.

Xu Yan gave the address she had asked for to the driver and then sat in the back seat staring blankly at the metal box.

The destination was a cemetery in the suburbs, and it took more than half an hour by car to finally arrive.

Xu Yan hurriedly stuffed a hundred yuan into her hand and ran into the cemetery to start looking for Chu Qidie's grave.

Finally, at the very back of the cemetery, we found Chu Qidie's tombstone. Perhaps her family had a change of heart and built her a rather nice mausoleum.

Chu Qidie on the tombstone looked ahead and smiled. Xu Yan gently placed the magnolia flower on the tombstone, then rested her head on it, and stayed there for a long time.

Xu Yan belatedly opened the iron box. This was something Chu Qidie had never mentioned to her; she had only seen Chu Qidie take it out and look at it by chance.

Now Xu Yan took out the metal box. The first thing that caught her eye was the handwritten letter, and then the cassette tape.

Xu Yan was already sobbing uncontrollably when she flipped through the pages and came across the women's wedding rings.

Xu Yan trembled as she put the ring on her right ring finger, but unfortunately, her finger had shrunk a bit from several days of hunger, and the ring hung loosely on it.

Xu Yan forced a smile and raised her hand to show Chu Qidie's name on the tombstone, but tears still streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Xiaodie, look, doesn't it look good on me?"

Then came the series of events involving Xu Yan's resurrection of Chu Qidie. As the projection was nearing its end, the scene suddenly switched to an empty room.

A pair of clean, white hands appeared from the screen and inserted the cassette tape into the tape recorder.

With the hissing sound of the tape, a slightly immature female voice came from the tape recorder, accompanied by background music of a guitar.

I'm still looking for someone to lean on and someone to hug.

Who will pray for me, worry for me, get angry for me, and make a scene for me?

Happiness begins to show signs

Fate brings us closer together slowly

Then loneliness was swallowed up

Boredom turned into something to talk about, things changed.

Dimples and long eyelashes are your most beautiful features.

I can't sleep every day

Miss your smile

You don't know how important you are to me

With you, my life is complete.

Her dimples and long eyelashes are irresistibly charming.

I slowed my pace, feeling like I was drunk.

Finally found the beauty of being in tune with each other

Keep warm for a lifetime

I will love you forever.

Happiness begins to show signs

Fate brings us closer together slowly

Then loneliness was swallowed up

Boredom turned into something to talk about, things changed.

Dimples and long eyelashes are your most beautiful features...

As the song came to an end, Chu Qidie's gentle laughter could still be heard: "This song is for Ayan. You have a dimple when you smile."

As for when this relationship started to change, who knows?

Throughout the story, both the perpetrators and the bystanders received their due punishment. In a sense, aren't the bystanders also perpetrators?

Unfortunately, reality is far from rosy; the victims are still struggling while the perpetrators live a comfortable life.

The projection went black, and everyone present learned the whole story, including the origins of the ghost tale.

The last ghost story was called "The Girl's Revenge," which didn't surprise Jiang Qi at all.

Finally, the blacked-out projection cracked open a door again, it seems we can leave the instance this time.

Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue thanked Jiang Qi in unison and then stepped into the door and disappeared. Bai Xiaoyu also rushed into the door impatiently.

Now only Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi remained in the dark room, illuminated only by a faint light coming from inside the door.

"What's wrong? Isn't brother coming out of the dungeon yet?"

Jiang Qi didn't speak, but gave a playful and wicked smile, bent down and leaned close to Lu Zhi's ear, his voice as tender as a lover's, his breath tickling Lu Zhi's ear.

“Lu Zhi, I actually know that you killed the doctor, and I also know that you didn’t enter the illusion at the swimming pool.”

"Then, see you in the next instance, Lu Zhi."

Jiang Qi turned around, waved his hand, and stepped into the door. Lu Zhi watched Jiang Qi's back, his lips curled up wildly, his blood boiled, and he licked his lips, his eyes gleaming.

"I can't fool my brother after all. He doesn't hate me. He even said see you in the next dungeon. I'll find a way to get out next time."

This conversation was not seen by the audience or the Nightmare Game. Lu Zhi then turned into a cloud of black mist and disappeared instantly, and the instance was closed.

As soon as Jiang Qi stepped into the door, he was enveloped in light. In an instant, Jiang Qi arrived at the game lobby, surrounded by people coming and going, some in a hurry and some in a disheveled state.

The sound of rewards popping in his mind followed, and Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue were still waiting for him in the game lobby.

Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue both waved in his direction and called his name, making it difficult for Jiang Qi to go unnoticed.

Players who had watched his live stream all looked in his direction. Jiang Qi wasn't used to being stared at by others, so he could only bite the bullet and walk towards Lin Wanchu and the other person.

"Hey Jiang, can we add each other as friends? We can do dungeons together in the future, and we definitely won't hold you back!!"

After saying that, Lin Wanchu raised her finger as if to swear an oath. Jiang Qi, not wanting to attract attention, quickly stopped her and accepted her as a friend. After saying goodbye to them, he ran away in a flash.

Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue were left looking at each other in bewilderment. The points they had earned from this dungeon were quite substantial, thanks in large part to Jiang Qi's help.

For now, they can only follow the system's instructions to their residence. They need to rest well and deal with the rest later.

In the dungeon, everyone's appearance will be slightly changed, but it will still be roughly the same as their original appearance. If you want to completely change your appearance, you can only do so by redeeming points.

Not many people have recognized Jiang Qi yet; he simply walks through the crowd with his head down.

Meanwhile, a newly released system announcement was broadcast from the center of the game lobby.

[Due to the escape of the boss in the Campus Ghost Story instance, this instance is now temporarily and permanently closed.]

The announcement caused an uproar among players in the game lobby and others who saw it.

Many players are discussing how the dungeon boss escaped, and even Jiang Qi's popularity is gradually decreasing.

Jiang Qi followed the system's guidance to his residence. The buildings here were very modern, as if nothing had changed and they were still living well in the real world.

Jiang Qi was on the third floor. He had only completed one dungeon and quickly reached the third floor. Back in his previous life, when he was doing the newbie dungeon, he could barely reach the edge of the second floor.

He didn't reveal Lu Zhi's identity directly in the dungeon, after all, on a certain level, Lu Zhi was on his side, and the more chaotic the nightmare game became, the better.

Jiang Qi took out his ID card from his pocket, found his room, swiped the card to enter, and found that the room was furnished exactly like his room in the real world.

Unexpectedly, things were still the same as in his previous life. Jiang Qi slipped into the bathroom, took a shower, and then lay down on the soft bed.

Jiang Qi cleared his mind, not intending to check his personal panel or inventory. The most important thing now was to get a good night's sleep.
