Zhao Mingyue hesitated for half a second before suddenly remembering something. When she left, she had looked back and happened to see Li Nan’s figure. At that time, she didn’t pay much attention to it and only thought about leaving quickly.

Mainly because Li Nan was staring at Lu Liangting, not her, which was strange. Li Nan’s target should be her, so why did he target Lu Liangting?

“You mean Li Nan?”

“It’s him.”

“But why? Why would he target Lu Liangting…?” Zhao Mingyue suddenly paused. “Is it because of me?”

She wasn’t stupid. She was well aware of Li Nan’s feelings towards her. She had always maintained a not-too-close, not-too-distant relationship with him, mostly out of helplessness. He had always put on a good face and never confessed, so she couldn’t directly say, “I don’t like you, stay away from me.”

It was just that Zhao Mingyue never expected him to be so patient. He only intended to make a move today.

However, today’s Li Nan was clearly no longer the Li Nan she knew.

And now that Li Nan was targeting Lu Liangting, it might be because Lu Liangting had walked too close to her earlier.

That was the only reason Zhao Mingyue could think of.

It wasn’t that she was thick-skinned or too narcissistic. It’s because Lu Liangting and Li Nan had no conflicts. These two hadn’t even exchanged half a sentence in class.

Bai Yu didn’t answer. But she hoped that this Li Nan could lend a hand and kill Lu Liangting at lunchtime today. It would save her the trouble. Although she knew it was extremely difficult for a small fry to kill the male protagonist, what if it happened by chance?

Thinking back, it was indeed strange.

If she wasn’t mistaken, Li Nan was a subordinate of a game participant. If so, then Li Nan’s target should be Zhao Mingyue, but this guy actually ran off to kill Lu Liangting.

If the person behind him knows, wouldn’t they personally go kill her?

Nothing in the world is impossible. Bai Yu felt that the most likely possibility was that Li Nan made the decision himself without informing the person behind him.

“Bai Yu, what should we do?”

“Just wait for the result.”

“This… Alright.” Zhao Mingyue nodded and didn’t object or forcefully drag Bai Yu to save someone.

She had no strength, and her greatest reliance was Bai Yu. At this time, if she didn’t listen to Bai Yu, who else could she listen to? If she acted on her own, she would only get herself and Bai Yu killed.

If she had the strength herself, it would be a different story. Lu Liangting had at least sent her so many meals, so she could lend him a hand.

“Um, can we send a message to Lu Liangting to warn him?”

“Don’t do that either. Don’t interfere. Let them solve it themselves.”

“Okay.”

The entire afternoon, until two when she left for school, Zhao Mingyue restrained her thoughts. After washing the lunchbox, she returned to school.

For this, Bai Yu even wanted to praise her.

What she feared the most was Zhao Mingyue acting foolishly and naively at critical moments, not doing what she should do and stubbornly doing what she shouldn’t.

This flaw could kill.

Fortunately, Zhao Mingyue could listen to advice and not act foolishly.

And because Zhao Mingyue was so obedient, Bai Yu even felt a tiny bit of guilt.

Of course, she could save Lu Liangting, and the reason she didn’t go wasn’t because she was afraid of danger, but simply because she wanted Lu Liangting to die.

“Um… Mingyue.”

As soon as she returned to her seat, Zhao Mingyue heard Bai Yu’s voice.

“Ah? What is it, is it about Li Nan?”

“I, ahem… Be careful when you go home. Regardless of whether Lu Liangting is dead or not, Li Nan will definitely make a move on you tonight.”

“Mm, mm, I understand.”

She said so, but Zhao Mingyue still felt something was odd.

Not the situation, but Bai Yu’s tone and attitude were strange. The problem was she couldn’t quite put her finger on what was strange, it was just the first time she heard Bai Yu speak like that.

As class was about to start, Lu Liangting appeared at the classroom door. Not only was he not killed, but there wasn’t even a scratch on him.

Apart from his visibly dejected expression, there was nothing wrong with him.

The black spindle-shaped earrings shone with a deep, enchanting purple hue under the sunlight. Her lips were as red as blood, and her eyeliner was drawn in the most perfect arc. A little more would be too much, while a little less would lose that soul-stirring allure.

Bang!

Li Nan slammed hard against the wall, his jaw severely deformed. Two teeth flew out, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a “wah” sound, crouching on the ground like a dog.

“I told you, your target is Zhao Mingyue. As for Lu Liangting, when I need you to deal with him, I will naturally tell you. Before that, you can’t touch a single hair.”

Teacher Chen’s eyes were filled with disdain and disgust as she crossed her arms.

“It’s my fault, Master. Please forgive me…” Li Nan crawled up and knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

Then, a black long boots appeared in his line of sight.

On the front of this boot, there was a small patch of dark red bloodstain, which was none other than Li Nan’s own blood.

“Lick it clean.”

“Yes, yes…”

Moments later, Li Nan turned and left. Before he left, he was extremely unwilling, but he still didn’t dare to ask the question.

‘Why no killing Lu Liangting?’

“Lu Liangting, why, why…”

Zhao Mingyue was like this, even his master was like this. Li Nan couldn’t understand.

What was so special about Lu Liangting?

Night had fallen, and it was already 11 PM.

In the afternoon, nothing happened, as if everything had returned to normal. The first thing Zhao Mingyue did after school was go home to pack her things and have a meal, then rush to the convenience store for work. She got off work at 10:50 and returned home.

She didn’t know what would happen tonight.

There were no tasks, but perhaps it was even more dangerous than a task.

The female ghost on the fifth floor and the mysterious Li Nan.

Sunshine Apartments, fourth-floor corridor.

“11:30…”

Lu Liangting put away his phone and looked up at the pitch-black fifth floor, which resembled an abyss.

He closed his eyes, turned his back to the stairs, and held the handrail tightly with one hand.

“One, two, three, four… thirteen…”

At the thirteenth step, Lu Liangting suddenly opened his eyes.

He had already arrived on the fifth floor. Apart from darkness, his vision was covered in a layer of red filter.

At this time, the fire had not yet been lit, and the faces on the walls had not appeared.

The path was unobstructed. Lu Liangting arrived in front of the door of Room 506. He took out a key from his pocket, tore off the seal on the door, inserted the key into the keyhole, and gently turned it.

Click!

The door opened. Behind the door stood a female ghost, her blood-colored nails almost touching the ground, her face burned and melted, terrifyingly hideous.

“I said I would help you find your child within a week. The time hasn’t come yet, I haven’t broken my promise.”

Lu Liangting took a deep breath. “I will keep my word, I never go back on my word.”

“Kill me, and your last hope is gone too. Just help me with this today, and I’ll find both your children for you.”

“I want you to help me find a person, no, a ghost…”

Meanwhile, outside Sunshine Apartments.

“Mingyue, wait for me…”

Under his hood, Li Nan revealed a cruel smile.

He walked past a street lamp, and under the illumination of the lamplight, two distinct shadows could be clearly seen on his body.

On his back, something was clinging to him.
