Chapter 347 Heavenly Master 54
Han Qiao Yu carefully maneuvered around Situ Shuangshuang’s hand that was holding a human leg bone, sidled over to grab her arm, and finally felt a bit more at ease as she said, "That’s it, just the four of us came over. These people are my former middle school classmates. We hadn’t gathered in a long time, so we wanted to seize the opportunity of a long-awaited reunion to do something thrilling together. Who knew there were real ghosts in this haunted house? And now we don’t even know where we’ve ended up. This place is like a maze; we’ve been going around in circles and can’t get out. I’m scared to death! If I can get out, I swear I will never play a haunted house adventure game again in my life!"
As she spoke, Han Qiao Yu’s nose twitched, and she couldn’t help but sob. A girl, after a whole night of fleeing, was now exhausted and hungry, her throat parched to the point of smoking, with nothing to eat or drink, and she could only endure it, all while constantly being terrified by ghosts! It’s already a testament to their strong mental resilience that these kids haven’t collapsed.
After crying a couple of times, Han Qiao Yu stopped, not because she wanted to but because she was too tired and mainly too thirsty. Her body lacked water to such an extent that even if she wanted to cry, she couldn’t waste any moisture, and crying was too painful, so she couldn’t cry anymore.
Situ Shuangshuang had rushed over too quickly, only thinking about finding people, and hadn’t bothered to buy any food or drink. As for food, she couldn’t cook without ingredients, but water was easy to handle. Situ Shuangshuang directly used the Water Manipulation Technique to conjure a large ball of water in her palm and said to Han Qiao Yu and her several wide-eyed classmates, "Come over and have some water!"
Actually, this situation was quite eerie: an unfamiliar classmate appearing out of nowhere, capable of subduing the ghosts that had scared them out of their wits, and even able to summon water out of thin air—any way you looked at it, it wasn’t normal.
But in the extreme exhaustion, hunger, and fear, the brain can malfunction, and there was also a bit of wishful thinking. This was the first person they had encountered with such incredible abilities, and everyone hoped this person was a real savior and not another ghostly illusion. Thus, from the bottom of their hearts, they were unwilling to believe that Situ Shuangshuang was anything but human. Even if Situ Shuangshuang were truly a ghost, they would hypnotize themselves into thinking she was human, a savior!
After drinking their fill, even though they were still hungry, they were much more comfortable, and their drained bodies seemed to recover somewhat. Han Qiao Yu, now satiated, helped introduce her companions to Situ Shuangshuang.
First up was the boy with spiky hair, named Kong Xinfan. His hair wasn’t naturally spiky; it was just standing on end from the fear earlier! At this moment, Kong Xinfan’s hair was lying flat again, and he looked like a fresh-faced boy.
The one wearing glasses was called Xiang Kai Ming. Just a moment ago, he had been the most composed, although his face was also filled with fear. At least he didn’t cry loudly while running. Currently, Xiang Kai Ming was the only one who maintained any degree of wariness towards Situ Shuangshuang.
The specific behavior was that while others were desperately clinging to Situ Shuangshuang for a sense of security, he kept some distance from her, perhaps to ensure that he could escape if Situ Shuangshuang suddenly turned hostile.
The girl named Li Na had performed the worst, crying for her parents while being chased. Li Na seemed to be utterly terrified and was currently huddled beside Situ Shuangshuang, sobbing quietly and continuously.
Situ Shuangshuang was surrounded to the point where she couldn’t even move her feet. She could only take out four Amulets, ignite them with Palm Fire, and press the four flickering yellow lights into their bodies. With a frosty tone and expression, she said, "Don’t cling to me so tightly that I can’t even walk. Do you plan to sit here and starve to death with me? We need to hurry and find the way out."
"How do we find the way out? We’ve been running around here all night, only to keep wandering through identical corridors and rooms with no exit in sight. We’re going to be trapped here forever!"
