Re:Library

Xia Han’s identity, Bai Yu had already guessed, this guy’s skull tattoo on the back of his neck is too conspicuous, and this tattoo, she had only seen on one person.

This guy’s name is Jason, also a madman, ranked twenty-third, with at least a few hundred lives in his hands. He has a hobby when killing people, which is to cut off the victim’s facial skin as a collectible and sew it onto his human skin windbreaker.

This windbreaker is very famous in the circle of game participants, not only because of the horror appearance of the windbreaker, but also because the attributes of the windbreaker are perverted, which can apply mental attacks to the enemy, and let the wronged souls on the windbreaker attack the opponent.

Pierced through the chest, Xia Han struggled to turn her head, “Who, who are you?”

Bai Yu gave her a very familiar feeling, but she couldn’t remember who it was for a moment.

She has so many enemies, several names flashed in her mind, but it seems that none of them used chains to attack.

“I want to know, do I have any grudges with Your Excellency?” While Xia Han was speaking, she reached into her pocket with one hand, trying to take something, but unfortunately Bai Yu didn’t give her this opportunity at all, her body pressed against Xia Han, and countless blood threads surged out of her body, stabbing out in the blink of an eye.

Xia Han’s body suddenly arched as if she was enduring great pain. Her mouth wide open, one blood thread after another clung to her delicate but heavily made-up face, like countless tiny tentacles, constantly pouring into her mouth.

She couldn’t make a sound of pain, which was extremely eerie. Xia Han’s mouth was wide open, her body desperately twisted, but there was not the slightest sound.

The whites of her eyes were gradually replaced by blood, her struggles became shallower and shallower.

Her hand had already reached into her pocket, she brought out a black wooden box from her pocket, but due to the loss of strength, could only drop it to the ground.

“I’ll tell you, I am…” Bai Yu’s voice sounded in her ear, Xia Han almost used the last bit of strength in her body to turn her eyeballs to look at Bai Yu, but Bai Yu’s voice stopped abruptly, not revealing her identity.

Xia Han’s eyes widened, never expecting to die in this way, and what was more hateful was that even until death, she did not know the identity of her opponent.

Releasing the blood threads, Xia Han’s body fell to the ground lifelessly, without any wounds on her body, and the wound that had been pierced by the chains had also disappeared mysteriously.

Bai Yu hooked her finger, using the blood threads to hook up the box on the ground.

The box is not big, not even the size of a palm. Bai Yu frowned, this thing is what Jason was going to use to save his life before he died, it must be extraordinary, the material of the box is not important, what is important is the thing inside.

Putting away the box, Bai Yu returned the way she came.

Xia Han was dealt with, and now there was another guy who needed to be taken care of.

Lu Liangting!

Lu Liangting is the male protagonist of this world, and Zhao Mingyue is the female protagonist. If there is no external interference, the male and female protagonists will inevitably end up together.

She absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of thing happening, because Zhao Mingyue is the key to her mission.

To prevent the female protagonist from being conquered by the male protagonist, the method is simple, just make the male protagonist disappear from this world, and the female protagonist will naturally not be conquered by the male protagonist.

Returning to the fourth floor, Bai Yu went back to check on Zhao Mingyue.

Zhao Mingyue’s situation was not good. The man’s room was incredibly stinky, the environment was extremely poor, and what was worse, for some reason, a ghostly fire started burning in that room.

Zhao Mingyue had to choose to give up or find the key before being burned to death.

The fire was very strange, starting to spread from inside the room, and in at most half an hour, the entire fourth floor would be covered.

Another point worth mentioning is that the fire was set by the female ghost on the fifth floor, tormenting the man in the fourth-floor room day and night, letting this man die over and over again in the fire, experiencing the pain before his death every night.

And the reason why the ghostly fire spread today should be related to Mingyue’s task.

Bai Yu now faced two choices, one was to stay, stay by Zhao Mingyue’s side just in case, guarding against the ghostly fire as well as the headless old ghost and the madman on the third floor, and the other was to hurry to the fifth floor and take care of Lu Liangting.

Just then, a figure suddenly sprang out from the staircase.

Tall, wearing a black raincoat, his body seemed to have just been soaked in water, dripping wet all over, his hair clung to his scalp in strands, dripping with water, even his rain boots were filled with water, making a dull, watery squelch with every step.

The man carried the bloated, white, and swollen corpse of a woman with faintly visible bones on his back, came to the door of room 401 with stiff movements, and banged on the iron door, “Hey, is there anyone there, have you seen my wife, she got separated from me in this building.”

Whether the man had mental issues or was possessed by a ghost, Bai Yu didn’t know.

The moment she saw this man, she had an idea.

The ghostly fire had already started to spread from the room behind her, starting to burn from the ceiling.

The whitewashed walls were blackened again, and there seemed to be something under the wall preventing the spread of the flames.

Bai Yu didn’t hesitate, she instantly came to the stairs and rushed towards the fifth floor.

The situation on the fifth floor was not much better than the fourth floor, the flames were spreading, and behind six of the eight rooms, something was banging on the doors or even slamming them hard.

The doors of the fifth-floor rooms were still made of wood, and under the impact of these things, the wooden doors kept trembling as if they would be broken open from behind at any moment, letting the things behind the doors escape.

Lu Liangting was still being chased by a man. He was smart, realizing that the key to the task was to find the key to the woman’s room. As long as the door was opened, there was a chance to solve the ghostly fire, and the other ghosts could also be dealt with. The corpse behind the door, the woman who died in the fire, was the core of this haunted building.

But the problem was, even if he knew where the key was, he had no chance to get it. The man behind him was chasing him relentlessly. In this situation, let alone getting the key, it would also be a success not to be killed by this ghost.

“No, I have to think of a way, otherwise I will be burned to death if I’m not caught up, and what’s worse is that the ghosts behind these doors will come out.” Lu Liangting made another round and was about to reach the starwell.

He was still calm at this time, but the next moment, a door in front of him suddenly burst open, and a ghost with its head hanging on its chest rushed out. This ghost was not burned to death but hanged. The body was found too late, and the head was almost severed by the rope.

“Pfft!”

At this critical moment, a red chain pierced through the hanged ghost’s body, flinging it out.

Lu Liangting’s pupils shrank, and he came face to face with Bai Yu.

“You, you are…”

He didn’t finish his words, Bai Yu suddenly rushed over, Lu Liangting instinctively raised his hand to block, but the expected attack did not fall. Instead, a loud scream came from behind.

Looking back, he saw the man being whipped away by a chain.

“Is she saving me?”

“Thank you for saving me, wait for me, I’ll come back to save you soon!” Lu Liangting reacted quickly, remembered Bai Yu’s figure, and hurried downstairs.

But just as he reached the fourth floor, he ran into the man carrying his wife’s corpse.

Bai Yu had just been thinking, Lu Liangting is the male protagonist, could she really kill him so easily?

As expected, Lu Liangting had something on him that could restrain her. Just right, let him go to the fourth floor and play with that madman, which might kill Lu Liangting and also buy time for Zhao Mingyue.

What Bai Yu didn’t know was that by saving him, she left a deep impression in Lu Liangting’s heart.
