Chapter 127 National Destiny: The Evil Cultivator’s Playground 15
In the high-level meeting room of the country, the atmosphere was extremely tense. The leaders sat around the table, and everyone's face was full of seriousness and heaviness. They were discussing an unprecedented question - whether to sacrifice ten innocent lives to save one Zhao Guanyu.
"Everyone, this is a difficult decision." A leader said solemnly, "Zhao Guanyu's life and death are important, but we cannot ignore the value of these ten lives. We must weigh the pros and cons and make the wisest choice."
"I agree," another leader added. "We can't do something that goes against human nature because of a momentary impulse. We should find other ways to save Zhao Guanyu and avoid innocent sacrifices."
After a long period of discussion and consideration, the leaders finally made a decision - to abandon the plan to resurrect Zhao Guanyu. After all, his talent was indeed too useless.
At the same time, an urgent reminder message was sent to Zhu Lili's mobile phone: "Give up saving Zhao Guanyu, and find an opportunity to escape to the library to complete the task." When Zhu Lili saw this message, she couldn't help but feel happy. Let's see how you, a bitch, can be resurrected this time.
"Come on!" Zhu Lili shouted loudly, and at the same time launched a fierce attack on the security ghost. She waved her fists and started a fierce battle with the security ghost.
However, the security ghost's power was far beyond her imagination. The baton in his hand was as hard as an iron rod, and every swing brought a strong pressure. Although Zhu Lili tried her best, she still couldn't resist his attack.
Just when Zhu Lili was about to be knocked down by the security ghost, she suddenly came up with an idea. She quickly dodged the attack of the security ghost, and then took the opportunity to push the security ghost towards the student ghosts who were madly biting Zhao Guanyu.
"Go to hell with you!!" Zhu Lili sneered, turned around and ran towards the library.
The security ghost was surrounded by the student ghosts. He struggled to get away, but the student ghosts were like hungry beasts, biting his body madly. The security ghost's screams echoed in the night sky, but were soon drowned out by the student ghosts' laughter.
Zhu Lili ran all the way and finally arrived at the door of the library. She pushed open the door and a fresh air hit her face. She was finally safe and the burden in her heart was finally put down.
Qian Zhe was anxiously waiting for Zhu Lili's return in the library. He was shocked when he saw Zhu Lili walking in with injuries all over her body. He quickly stepped forward to support Zhu Lili and asked with concern: "Sister Li, what happened to you? Why are you so badly injured?"
Zhu Lili shook her head, indicating that she was fine. She sat on the sofa and told Qian Zhe and the others everything that had just happened. After listening, everyone was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Zhao Guanyu...he just left like that..."
"Yes." Zhu Lili nodded, "But we must be strong and not give up the entire mission just because of him."
Qian Zhe nodded in agreement. He used his talent to heal Zhu Lili's wounds, and as he watched her condition gradually improve, he felt a little more at ease.
"Sister Li, what are you going to do next?" Qian Zhe asked.
Zhu Lili turned to look at Chi Meng and said:
"Xiao Mengmeng, next we have to walk through the nightmare stairs. In this game, we need to find the exit from the stairs. Your puppet ghost girl will come into play. Maybe our vision will change after we enter."
After listening to this, Chi Meng nodded. This was not a big problem. They could walk around the library together to see what was there and get to know the environment.
The four of them were divided into two groups, Zhu Lili and Chi Meng in one group, Qian Zhe and Liu Lei in another. They began to search the first floor of the library carefully, hoping to find clues about the school.
Zhu Lili and Chi Meng came to the library administrator's office. It was filled with various books and documents, and it was obvious that no one had sorted them out for a long time. They carefully looked through each document, hoping to find some useful information.
Suddenly, Zhu Lili stopped at an old newspaper and pointed to a report in the newspaper and said, "Look, a student in this school once committed suicide by jumping off a building."
Chi Meng came over to read the report, frowning, "Ever since this student jumped off the building, strange things have happened frequently in this school, and many people have died. In the end, the school closed down and became what it is now."
Qian Zhe and Liu Lei also heard their conversation and came over. Liu Lei picked up the newspaper and looked at it carefully: "What is the name of this student? Did they mention why she committed suicide?"
Zhu Lili shook her head. "The report didn't mention her name, nor did it explain why she committed suicide. But I think it must be related to this school."
Qian Zhe nodded: "Yes, this school must be hiding some secrets. We have to continue searching to see if we can find more clues."
The four continued searching in the library, and finally found a dark room behind the library management office. There was nothing in it except a large bed.
"Why is there a bed here?"
Zhu Lili touched the fabric on the big bed. It was soft and did not look like a place for an administrator to rest.
"This, this is really strange. Why is there a dark room behind the librarian? And why is there a bed in the dark room?"
"Could this be related to the suicide of that female student?"
"It's probably possible. After all, that female student jumped from the top floor of the library."
"Time is running out, let's go check out the nightmare staircase first."
Zhu Lili brushed the dust off her hands. In her previous life, they had also found a female student in this place who had suffered long-term school bullying and was insulted by various teachers. Even the faculty and staff did not let her go. In the end, she could not bear it anymore and jumped off the building to commit suicide.
What a bunch of scum.
"The nightmare stairs are really everyone's nightmare." Zhu Lili shuddered, not knowing what she was thinking about.
Chi Meng nodded: "Legend has it that the stairs from the fifth floor to the rooftop are called the Nightmare Stairs. Once you go in, you won't be able to find the way out."
Qian Zhe pondered for a moment and said, "Then we still have to walk the nightmare stairs. Only after playing this last level of the game can we pass it."
Liu Lei also agreed: "That's right, no matter how scary it is, we have to go on..."
The four decided to walk up the nightmare staircase together. They came to the staircase on the fifth floor and looked forward. They saw that the staircase was pitch black, as if it was a bottomless cave. They looked at each other, took a deep breath, and walked into the stairs hand in hand.
As soon as they entered the staircase, they felt a chill coming over them. The air around them seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe. They held each other's hands tightly and walked forward step by step.
Not long after they walked, they found that the surrounding environment began to change. The originally dim staircase became brighter, and all kinds of strange patterns and words appeared on the wall. They stopped and carefully observed these patterns and words, trying to find some clues from them.
At this moment, they suddenly heard a strange laugh. The laugh echoed in the stairs, making people shudder. They held their weapons tightly and looked around vigilantly, but did not find anything unusual.
"Where does this laughter come from?" Zhu Lili's voice trembled a little.
"I don't know." Chi Meng shook his head, "But it's definitely not a good thing."
Qian Zhe and Liu Lei also nodded in agreement. They continued to move forward, but the fear in their hearts became heavier and heavier.
At this moment, they suddenly saw a bright exit in front of them. They were delighted and quickened their pace to move forward. However, when they got closer, they found that this exit was just an illusion and did not lead to the outside world at all.
"What is going on?" Liu Lei's voice sounded somewhat desperate.
"Don't lose heart," Zhu Lili encouraged, "We will definitely find the real way out."
At this moment, they suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps. They looked back and saw a girl in school uniform running towards them. The girl's face was full of fear and despair. She shouted loudly: "Run! They are catching up with us!"
Zhu Lili and the other three were startled and quickly turned around and ran in another direction. They ran out of breath but the ghosts were getting closer and closer. Just when they were about to be caught up, a strong light suddenly shot out from the front. They looked up and saw a huge light gate appeared in front of them.
"Come in quickly!" Julie shouted.
The four of them rushed into the light gate without hesitation. When they passed through the light gate, they saw the ghosts wandering outside the light gate and unable to enter. They breathed a sigh of relief knowing that they had finally found the exit to leave here.
After passing through the light gate, they came to a strange place. It was sunny and full of birdsong and flowers, which was completely different from the horror scene before. They looked around and saw that it was a beautiful campus filled with the breath of youth.
"We succeeded!" Qian Zhe shouted excitedly, "We found the exit to leave here!"
"It's not that easy. I'm afraid the real danger is only beginning now."
Zhu Lili's whole body was tense and her brows were furrowed as she looked around the bright campus.
