The red light in the students' eyes disappeared, and they gradually returned to normal.
They were confused as to why they were standing in the dormitory corridor again, while Yin Xiu was confused as to what exactly was the thing next to him.
A chill crept over him, but he couldn't quite place it. He could only feel long, whisker-like chills wrapping around his body, seemingly there yet not there.
He watched the students gradually returning to their dorm rooms in the corridor, then touched his own body, his mind a bit confused.
His memory seemed to be missing something, and the past was also blurry. He remembered that he was in a dungeon, isolated by the dungeon, so he was alone in the dungeon. There seemed to be something vaguely around him, but he couldn't remember it at all.
Yin Xiu stepped into his dormitory room, closed the doors and windows, and even in the dark room, he still felt something around him. Every now and then, his face would itch, and every now and then, his body would itch, as if something was touching him.
This strange feeling was like ants crawling all over his body, something Yin Xiu rarely found so inexplicable.
When he came back from his trip out, his hunger returned. He wandered around the dormitory for a while and then ended up in front of the refrigerator.
Yin Xiu remembered there was food in the refrigerator. He reached out and opened the refrigerator, but as soon as he opened it a crack, the refrigerator door was suddenly slammed shut with a thud, as if something unseen had pressed it shut.
Yin Xiu frowned, forcefully pried open the edge of the refrigerator door, and just as he caught a glimpse of the delicious food inside, the refrigerator door was instantly slammed shut again.
After repeating this twice, Yin Xiu stood in front of the refrigerator with a sullen face. He could feel something pressing down on the refrigerator door. The chilling sensation was not only around him but also at the refrigerator door. He couldn't see or touch it, but the thing was definitely there.
So...
He slowly drew the knife hanging from his waist and gripped it tightly with both hands.
If I cut it down myself, will it affect that unseen thing?
Even if all else fails, you could at least chop open the refrigerator door, right?
The viewers in the live chat held their breath in tension from the moment Yin Xiu drew his sword. Yin Xiu couldn't see what was blocking the refrigerator, but they could!
What's going on here? Is this some kind of infighting?
The moment the knife was drawn, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Just as Yin Xiu was about to strike with a cold hand, a chill suddenly enveloped him, knocking him to the ground.
A sense of danger surged up like a flood, and Yin Xiu instinctively resisted and struggled, but he could not grasp that chill no matter what he did, while the other party was able to restrain him.
The chill pried open his fingers holding the knife, pressed down on his struggling legs, and entangled him completely, imprisoning him tightly. No matter how Yin Xiu tried to break free with a gloomy face, he was powerless.
His black school uniform was covered in dust as he struggled on the ground, his hair was disheveled, and he looked rather pathetic, gritting his teeth.
While the chill emanating from her body exuded a fierce aura, she was also very gentle towards him.
A slight chill brushed against his hair, gently caressing his cheek in an attempt to soothe his wariness and murderous intent.
But Yin Xiu couldn't relax at all; his whole body was tense as he tried to reach back his knife. Even if it meant slashing himself, he wanted to find a way to break free from the restrictions on him. He had never been entangled in this state by unknown monsters before, because he was always decisive in his actions, including towards himself.
But Hanyi seemed to know what he was thinking, and secretly moved the knife far away, not letting him touch it at all.
The more Yin Xiu struggled, the tighter the bindings became.
The two sides fought fiercely on the ground for half an hour, rolling around covered in dust and their clothes were in disarray. In the end, Yin Xiu was exhausted and defeated.
The chill touched his face, trying to soothe him.
He stared at the dark ceiling, then turned his head away in frustration.
He could clearly feel the chill creeping through his body, binding him tightly and restricting him, yet he was powerless to do anything about it.
He felt a sense of déjà vu about this discomfort, as if he had given up and gone to sleep before because he couldn't resist the entanglement.
There must be a monster wrapped around me, a super dangerous monster, that has him completely under its control.
Fortunately, the other party did not show any killing intent and had no intention of killing him. Yin Xiu could only slowly relax and recover his strength first.
The thing carried Yin Xiu to the bedside, dusted him off, straightened his clothes, and then placed him on the bed with practiced ease.
Yin Xiu frowned, glancing at the knife still lying on the ground out of the corner of his eye, and closed his eyes in despair.
Alright, I should go to sleep first. Resting up and recovering my strength is the best course of action. As long as there's no danger to my life, I can relax for now.
The viewers in the live chat were finally relieved after seeing Yin Xiu give up resistance. They were suddenly very grateful that there was someone who could suppress Brother Xiu, otherwise no one would be able to control Brother Xiu if he suddenly went crazy.
Although it was really terrifying to see a dark, tentacle-covered thing wrapped around Xiu Ge and resisting on the ground for half an hour, someone who didn't know the situation would really think it was some kind of monster eating people.
It's like watching a horror movie late at night, only to find the male lead about to be eaten alive.
Yin Xiu slept soundly through the night without realizing it, and when he woke up, all his vigilance suddenly vanished.
He quickly rolled out of bed to pick up his knife, only to find it had been put back in its sheath. The feeling of being entangled was gone, as if the events of last night had never happened.
Yin Xiu looked around the dormitory and tentatively tried to open the refrigerator door. The next second, the half-open refrigerator door was suddenly slammed shut by something, and a chill quickly climbed up his arm, preventing him from opening the refrigerator door.
That thing was indeed still there.
"Get away!" Yin Xiu shook his hand in disgust, but couldn't shake it off, so he could only ignore the feeling on his hand and go to wash up.
I still have to finish eating and go to the classroom to stop people from helping me with my homework.
The cafeteria was still crowded today. As always, the students greeted Yin Xiu with smiles and asked him to have lunch together.
Normally, Yin Xiu would respond coldly and then refuse them. Today, however, Yin Xiu paused for a few seconds in front of everyone's smiling faces, then slowly lowered his head, as if he was about to nod.
But the next second, a chill lifted Yin Xiu's chin, forcibly preventing him from nodding and fixing his head in place.
Yin Xiu frowned, wanting to respond, but Han Yi quickly covered his mouth, silencing him.
Yin Xiu's face was dark. He could only turn away from the students' invitations. It wasn't until he reached the food window that the chill emanating from him subsided a bit, and he was able to speak again.
He patted his school uniform, but still couldn't touch anything. Being entangled and acted recklessly by this thing made him feel inexplicably anxious.
"Auntie, bring me food." Yin Xiu stood at the window, looking exhausted, and called out. He was annoyed by the cold but also very hungry, and planned to eat his fill before he could fight back.
Normally, whenever he goes to the window, his aunt will hand him his meal early and then chat with him.
But my aunt seemed a bit off today too.
She sat there blankly, staring into the distance, completely devoid of energy, like a mere decoration.
"Auntie?"
Yin Xiu called out again, and she suddenly woke up, turning her head to look in Yin Xiu's direction, her eyes glazed over.
"Oh... time to eat, it's here, time to eat..."
