Chapter 134 National Destiny: The Evil Cultivator’s Playground 22

The four of them spent a very tense night in the male dormitory. Zhu Lili, Liu Lei and Qian Zhe took turns to keep watch, while Chi Meng used her puppet female ghost to patrol around to ensure that no student ghosts approached. They squeezed on the narrow bed, and although they were physically exhausted, their spirits were extremely tense.

The first rays of sunlight shone through the window onto the dormitory floor, bringing a touch of warmth to the dark space. The four of them smiled at each other, knowing that a new day had begun, and it was also the critical moment for them to leave this instance.

"Sister Li, do you know how to leave this copy?" Qian Zhe asked softly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Zhu Lili nodded, with a trace of sadness on her face, but a firm light flashed in her eyes. "Take it one step at a time." She wanted to save the poor girl this time.

Arriving at the classroom, as soon as they entered, they saw Li Jing sitting in a corner of the classroom, out of tune with those evil students and evil teachers. They seemed to ignore Li Jing and were busy with their own things.

Zhu Lili carefully observed Li Jing and found that she was indeed a little different from last night. Her expression was numb, her movements were stiff, as if she had lost her soul. Liu Lei and Qian Zhe also noticed this, and they looked at each other with worry in their eyes.

"Li Jing, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Lili asked softly. She walked to Li Jing and gently held her hand.

Li Jing raised her head and looked at Zhu Lili. There was a hint of confusion in her eyes but she said nothing, as if she had lost her soul.

Zhu Lili held Li Jing's hand tightly. Her hand was cold and weak, as if it had lost all its warmth and vitality. She looked at Li Jing's empty eyes, and an indescribable sadness surged in her heart.

"Sister Li, we have to be careful." Liu Lei's voice was low and nervous, and he looked around vigilantly. The ghost students were running around in the classroom, with strange smiles on their faces, as if they would pounce on them and bite them at any time. The ghost teachers were standing on the podium, staring at them with their empty eyes, as if they wanted to suck their souls away.

Qian Zhe clenched his fists tightly, his face full of worry. They were in danger now, and if they were not careful, they would be doomed.

Chi Meng stood aside, her face expressionless, but she was actually already absorbing Yin energy in secret. She was almost there, she was almost done building her foundation.

They walked into the classroom carefully, trying to avoid the sight of those ghost students and ghost teachers. They knew that as long as they were discovered by those ghosts, they would fall into endless trouble.

However, they did not expect that those ghost students and ghost teachers seemed to be particularly interested in them. They kept casting strange glances at them, as if they wanted to see through them. Zhu Lili's heart tightened, she knew that they could not stay here for long.

"We have to leave this copy as soon as possible." Zhu Lili whispered, with a hint of urgency in her voice.

Liu Lei nodded, his face full of determination.

"But where should we look for clues?" Qian Zhe asked somewhat confusedly.

Zhu Lili pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's go to the teacher's office first. There may be some useful information there."

So, they left the classroom carefully and walked towards the teacher's office. Along the way, they remained vigilant, fearing that they would be discovered by those evil students and evil teachers.

Finally, they arrived at the teacher's office. However, when they opened the door, they found that there was no one inside. They searched around and found a pile of secretly taken photos of Li Jing in his drawer.

"Fuck, what kind of voyeurism is this?" Liu Lei said with some disappointment.

"Where is Li Jing? Where did she go?" Qian Zhe asked anxiously.

After his reminder, everyone realized that Li Jing, who had been following the four of them today, was now missing.

Zhu Lili and Liu Lei also felt a little uneasy. Now anyone could see that Li Jing was the key NPC for them to pass the level. If something happened to her, their plan would be seriously affected.

"Let's go look for her separately." Zhu Lili said decisively, her face full of determination.

So, they split up and couldn't find anyone in the dormitories, classrooms, offices, canteens, and shops. Finally, they reported the incident to the library.

Chi Meng immediately asked the puppet female ghost to go to the library to check the situation.

Deep in the dark library, an invisible bond connected the puppet ghost girl and Li Jing. Chi Meng closed her eyes and concentrated on sensing the image transmitted back by the puppet. Her brows were furrowed, and her face gradually became solemn.

"I saw it." Chi Meng slowly opened his eyes, his voice low and serious, "Li Jing was tied up in a secret room in the library. There was a large dark red bed, surrounded by several librarians who looked like teachers, and a bald old man who looked like the principal of this place."

Zhu Lili, Liu Lei and Qian Zhe all changed their expressions when they heard this. They didn't expect Li Jing to encounter such a dangerous situation, and they didn't expect the danger in this copy to be so close.

"We have to save her." Zhu Lili said firmly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

"But how do we get in? Those evil teachers and librarians will definitely not let us go." Liu Lei said with some concern.

"We have to think of a way." Qian Zhe pondered for a moment, then suggested, "Perhaps we can use the puppet female ghost to attract their attention, and then take the opportunity to rescue Li Jing."

Chi Meng nodded in agreement. She closed her eyes again and began to establish contact with the puppet ghost girl, preparing to implement the rescue plan.

At the same time, the audience in the live broadcast room also saw this scene. They left messages in the barrage and discussed the next steps.

"These Xia people are so saintly that they actually want to save a female ghost." A foreign audience member mocked.

"How do you know Li Jing is bad? She looks very kind at night." another viewer retorted.

"Humph, female ghosts are all cunning. She is just pretending to be pitiful." said a foreign audience with disdain.

As the barrage of comments scrolled in the live broadcast room, a heated debate about whether the female ghost Li Jing should be saved was in full swing.

A foreign viewer named "Dark_Knight" was the first to challenge: "Hahaha, these Xia people are so saintly that they actually want to save a female ghost. How hilarious."

This statement immediately caused an uproar, and local viewer "Qingfeng Xulai" quickly responded: "How can you be so arbitrary? In the copy, Li Jing obviously looks very kind, she has not hurt anyone."

“Dark_Knight” was not to be outdone: “Humph, female ghosts are all cunning, she is just pretending to be pitiful. You Xia people are always so easily fooled by appearances.”

At this time, a viewer who calls himself a "feminist defender" named "Phoenix Nirvana" joined the battle: "Dark_Knight, are you discriminating against women? What's wrong with female ghosts? Can't female ghosts have a kind side? This is a stereotype of women!"

“Dark_Knight” was angered by this accusation: “How am I discriminating against women? I’m just talking about female ghosts, don’t raise the issue to a gender level.”

"Phoenix Nirvana" sneered: "Haha, this is typical discrimination without knowing it. Why do you think that female ghosts can't be divided into good and bad? You are denying the diversity of women!"

As the two viewers exchanged fierce words, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room became increasingly tense. Many viewers began to take sides and expressed their opinions.

A righteous audience member, the "Messenger of Justice", stepped in to mediate: "Everyone, stop arguing. We are all here to watch the live broadcast. Why do we have to argue so much over an NPC character? Since Zhu Lili and the others have decided to save Li Jing, they must have their considerations. We should respect their choice."

The remarks of the "Messenger of Justice" were recognized by some viewers, but many people still insisted on their own opinions.

"Dark_Knight" continued to provoke: "Messenger of Justice, you are just condoning the behavior of the saint. The Xia people are always like this, they like to do useless good deeds but ignore the really important issues."

This statement once again sparked a barrage of criticism. A viewer named "Patriotic Youth" angrily retorted: "Dark_Knight, what right do you have to belittle us Xia people? We Xia people value benevolence, righteousness and morality. We are willing to help others. This is our traditional virtue. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!"

The debate in the live broadcast room became more and more intense, and viewers expressed their opinions one after another. Some supported Zhu Lili and others to rescue Li Jing, believing that this was a pursuit of kindness and justice; others opposed this behavior, believing that it was a waste of time and resources.

There are also some rational voices in this debate. One viewer expressed his opinion: "In fact, we don't need to argue over this issue. Since Li Jie and the others have made a decision, we should respect their choice. No matter what the result is, they risked their lives in the horror game to fight for our future. We should remain rational and objective and not get too emotional."

As time went by, the debate in the live broadcast room gradually subsided. The audience began to focus on watching the live broadcast content, hoping that Zhu Lili and others could successfully rescue Li Jing.
