42. Cooperation(1/2)
The feeling of being peeped is getting stronger and stronger. Zhang Xiaohua turned his head and stared openly. It seemed that a figure was standing by his bed, unable to see his face clearly.
Zhang Xiaohua secretly cursed that he was sick, and turned around and fell asleep.
The next morning, when everyone in the dormitory was still sleeping, Zhang Xiaohua woke up from a nightmare.
His face was extremely bad, and his breathing was rapid for a long time before he recovered.
It turned out to be a dream...
Realizing this, Zhang Xiaohua rubbed his somewhat swollen temple. He had a nightmare that last night was a nightmare, and someone stood by the bed and stared at him.
The most terrifying thing is that there is only this scene in the whole dream.
Looking back now, I can feel a little creepy.
Zhang Xiaohua picked up the phone beside her pillow and looked at the time.
It's past four o'clock now.
I'm about to get up in more than an hour.
Zhang Xiaohua quickly lay down and took a break.
Time passed slowly, and several people in the dormitory got up one after another and then began to wash.
Zhang Xiaohua also woke up when he heard the sound. The headache seemed to have relieved a lot due to the snooping sleep.
He turned over and got out of bed, and instinctively looked at the upper bunk opposite him. Ruan Xiaochao was still sleeping. I don’t know if it was an illusion, Ruan Xiaochao’s face seemed a little pale.
Zhang Xiaohua's eyes rolled and she deliberately pushed Ruan Xiaochao rudely, "Ruan Xiaochao, everyone is awake, why are you still sleeping!"
Ruan Xiaochao suddenly opened his eyes, turned his pale face and stared at Zhang Xiaohua.
It doesn't look like I just woke up, but it seems like I'm deliberately... pretending to be asleep.
Zhang Xiaohua was so scared that he took a step back, then reacted and cursed: "Ruan Xiaochao, why are you pretending to be a ghost to scare people? Get up quickly."
Ruan Xiaochao sat up slowly and nodded slightly dullly, "Okay."
He started to dress, got out of bed, went to the bathroom to start washing.
I didn't say a word to Zhang Xiaohua in the whole process.
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. Why did Ruan Xiaochao feel something was wrong today?
It seems that I have a little talk.
However, as long as Ruan Xiaochao does not deliberately cause trouble for himself, he, an adult man, will not take the initiative to cause trouble for the little brat.
Everyone should maintain a seemingly peaceful life and not provoke each other.
Afterwards, Zhang Xiaohua came to the class, blocked his sight with the textbook, and quietly began to take a nap.
He was so sleepy.

Xia Letian glanced behind him using the small mirror, and the ghost was still lowering his head and thinking about his mistakes, not moving.
As for the mysterious player Qi Lifei, he was closing his eyes to rest.
Xia Letian's eyes moved slightly upward, and there were still three small question marks hanging above the head of the player who called Qi Lifei, but the green [high-energy warning in front!!!] never appeared again.
Is the other party a player or... a ghost?
This thought circled in my mind for a long time, until another student came in in Class 444. Xia Letian immediately sat upright and looked at the student in a vague manner.
Because this student looks no different from a living person, but there is a tip on the top of his head that [↓I am a dead person].
strangeness.
When was this student killed by a demon?
The first few deceased died after class, and it happened that the "non-existent ghost" was not there at that time.
So one thing can be inferred from this.
That is, when the "non-existent ghost" appears in the class, it will not trigger any opportunity for murder, and no students will be killed because of this.
Therefore, this dead student is likely to be killed in the dormitory.
After morning self-study, the student was still sitting there without moving. Several students next to him walked over as if they had a very tacit understanding and were talking about something around the dead student.
Xia Letian immediately came over and pretended to be flipping through other people's homework books, but in fact he was eavesdropping openly.
"Ruan Xiaochao, are you okay today?" The student named Lu Yuan said with some concern.
Ruan Xiaochao raised his head, was stunned for a second before answering: "I'm fine."
Xiao Xueliang next to him said, "Your face looks a little bad. Didn't you sleep well yesterday?"
Ruan Xiaochao mechanically repeated: "I'm fine."
"Okay, you really don't always quarrel with Zhang Xiaohua in the future. We are all classmates and should be united and helped each other." Lu Yuan sighed and patted Ruan Xiaochao on the shoulder, "We have to live in the same dormitory with him in the future. We always have to have a good relationship. Are you right?"
Ruan Xiaochao answered as always: "Okay."
After Lu Yuan and his friends finished speaking, they returned to their seats and waited for class.
Xia Letian thought about it. He never expected that the dead student would be in the same dormitory as Zhang Xiaohua.
Although I don’t know why this person named Ruan Xiaochao was killed by a demon, Xia Letian felt that the next person would be Zhang Xiaohua.
He found Zhang Xiaohua before class was started.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Xia Letian and asked vigilantly: "What are you looking for me?"
Xia Letian sat down, "Did you encounter anything strange in the dormitory last night?"
Zhang Xiaohua subconsciously thought of yesterday's dream. In the dream, a person who couldn't see his face clearly stood by the bed and stared at him. He panicked slightly, and soon reacted again, and quickly denied: "Nothing happened."
Xia Letian noticed that Zhang Xiaohua's expression flashed with panic.
His heart sank.
Could it be that the ghost has set his sights on Zhang Xiaohua?
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua did not cooperate with him, Xia Letian stood up decisively and stopped trying to learn about the news from Zhang Xiaohua.
Because if a ghost really targets Zhang Xiaohua, then he should not contact Zhang Xiaohua anymore. The most important thing is that judging from Zhang Xiaohua's previous behavior, Zhang Xiaohua is not a trustworthy teammate.
What's more, the braised pork incident has caused Zhang Xiaohua to become hostile to all players.
If Xia Letian kindly reminds Zhang Xiaohua, it may have a counterproductive effect, and it will be troublesome to attract the attention of evil spirits.
However, although Xia Letian could not know what happened last night through Zhang Xiaohua, he could still ask several students who lived in the same room with Zhang Xiaohua.
Then, Xia Letian found Lu Yuan, who looked the gentlest, and asked him to follow him out of the corridor.
Lu Yuan looked at Xia Letian with confusion, "Wang Xiaoming, is there anything you have to do with me?"
Xia Letian said: "That's right. Can I ask what happened in your dormitory last night? For example, if you have something to do with Zhang Xiaohua."
He could not directly ask for information related to the deceased.
Just in case Lu Yuan returns to the dormitory to talk about this, after all, there are murderous ghosts in that dormitory to avoid getting angry
Lu Yuan automatically figured out the reason and asked: "Are you and Zhang Xiaohua the same class before?"
Xia Letian did not answer, but directly agreed and pulled the topic back, "What happened yesterday?"
Lu Yuan apologized: "Nothing happened, it was Ruan Xiaochao and Zhang Xiaohua who had a quarrel. They had already made up this morning."
Xia Letian pretended to be relieved, "So that's how it is." Then he asked again: "Why did the two of them quarrel? I originally wanted to ask Zhang Xiaohua, but Zhang Xiaohua didn't want to tell me."
Lu Yuan said: "Maybe Zhang Xiaohua is afraid that you will be worried. In fact, this matter is still Ruan Xiaochao's problem. He had a quarrel with Zhang Xiaohua the morning before yesterday and said that Zhang Xiaohua didn't sleep well in the middle of the night and climbed to the upper bunk, staring at him, which scared him to the point of being very scared."
Xia Letian immediately asked: "The upper bunk? Is there no one living in that upper bunk?"
Lu Yuan shook his head, "Of course not, so Ruan Xiaochao said that he saw someone lying there on the upper bunk, and he suspected that it was Zhang Xiaohua, but Zhang Xiaohua said that he had never been to the upper bunk."
"So that's how it is." Xia Letian nodded.
Lu Yuan guessed: "I think it might be Ruan Xiaochao who had a nightmare and confused the dream with reality. I think he looked bad today. Maybe he was uncomfortable and he was talking too much."
Xia Letian didn't say anything, but he knew in his heart that Ruan Xiaochao was not feeling well, but because - he was already a dead person.
Lu Yuan said: "But you don't have to worry. They didn't quarrel today, and this matter has passed."
Xia Letian nodded, "That's good."
When the class bell rang, the two of them quickly returned to the class. In the first class, the teacher began to call out, and every student in the class, including the dead students, shouted.
Xia Letian began to process the information he just collected.
What is certain now is that Ruan Xiaochao did not lie. He did see someone lying on the upper bunk, but Ruan Xiaochao suspected that he had the wrong partner. It was not Zhang Xiaohua who crawled on the upper bunk at all, but that ghost!
But the question is, why was Ruan Xiaochao regarded as the target of priority killing by the evil spirit?
There are so many students in the class, why is the student who happened to die in the dormitory where Zhang Xiaohua is located?
Could it be...
Does it have anything to do with Zhang Xiaohua's braised pork?
To be continued...
