Dating the Strongest Boss

Chapter 8

The sound of the broadcast abruptly traveled to everyone’s ears. It was distinctly the mechanical voice of a male without the slightest bit of emotion. Like it was reading aloud from a text, the voice flatly delivered a message, occasionally interrupted by static. {There is half an hour left until night falls. Players, please prepare yourselves.}

The girls widened their eyes, their panic surfacing as they started to shake.

Xiao Chen swiftly recovered. “How many people are in this world, and how large is our movement range? We need to quickly hide now.”

The leader of the girls grit her teeth. “There are not a lot of people. It’s only the students in Class 4 and you. We can move within the whole school.”

Xiao Chen was doubtful. “The entire school? Then why not climb over the wall and escape?”

One of the girls broke down. “Do you think that we haven’t thought of that? Do you know what happened to those people after they ran away?!”

Xiao Chen instantly stopped talking. This world was not the Real World. Even if they fled the school, what was outside? Who knew?

He hung his head, and the atmosphere became somber.

He suddenly sensed something touch his neck, and then a pair of hands attached themselves to his waist.

This gave Xiao Chen goosebumps. When he looked downwards, he couldn’t see anything, and the girls didn’t notice any abnormalities.

Was it the ghost that had warned him about this world? Or Xu Sheng?

Xiao Chen could clearly feel its lips moving closer to his ear, until it began to rub his earlobe tenderly. A magnetic and husky male voice murmured, “Go to the library.”

The arms restraining him disappeared. Xiao Chen stroked his ear. It was a little red.

Xiao Chen chose to believe the ghost.

If his words were true, then they might be able to live. But if his words were false, then they would only die a bit earlier than the others.

Not to mention.

Xiao Chen squeezed his hand firmly.

He didn’t know why, but he had a random hunch that the ghost would not harm him.

“Let’s go to the library.” Xiao Chen did not hesitate to share the information. The girls raised their heads in surprise, but the situation was urgent and they had no other choice. After a while, they all followed Xiao Chen’s suggestions.

Night came.

Xiao Chen frowned.

Monsters would appear at night, so what monsters were there?

Xiao Chen repeatedly asked this question to the girls, but their expressions were so terror-struck that Xiao Chen couldn’t push them any further.

It was at this moment that the library’s intercom had another broadcast. The girls were so scared that they huddled together.

{Players, welcome to night time! The rules of the game have been changed twice.

Next are the new rules. The game mission has been renamed to ‘Find the Sinner’. Sinners are hidden among you all. According to the prompts, you must locate the designated sinner and punish them.

Finding the sinner will award an escape quota.

Through the votes of all people, a final sinner will be selected. Whether the accused person is the sinner or not, they will be punished.

And today’s prompt is: Library.

The time limit is two hours. Afterwards, punishment will be dealt. Remember, the God of Death is right behind you.

Good luck.}

The girls’ eyes brightened as they were faintly excited.

The last game’s mission, which demanded two dead every night, was a downright slaughter. There was no chance of survival! Each of them held despair at the certainty of death.

Now that there was a way for them to live, how could they not be thrilled?

The short-haired girl, the leader of the girls, reacted the fastest. She glanced at the stunned Xiao Chen, and then said, “We are currently in the library, quickly go look for clues! We can definitely live!”

The girl rapidly stood up and walked around the library to search.

Xiao Chen tightly shut his eyes. He thought things were not so simple, and that the library itself was the clue.

Sinner.

What sin? Why are they guilty? What crime did they commit?

If this was an Otherworld created by Xu Sheng, then the sinner’s sin must have been related to Xu Sheng!

Or, in the library, they must have wronged Xu Sheng.

So, will the sinner know that they are the sinner?

“Ah!” The curly-haired girl was startled and shrieked.

“What wrong?”

“Xiao Ping, are you okay? What happened?”

Upon hearing the girl, Xiao Chen immediately ran over.

The library wasn’t small. It had an upper floor and a lower floor with many separate rooms. Xiao Chen and the girls had split into groups of two.

Gao Xuhan was shrinking in the corner, and she looked a little embarrassed.

“It’s you!” The girls almost instantly recognized her, and they loosened their initial guard.

Gao Xuhan’s spirit was beginning to collapse. Because the development of the plot was completely different from the movie she had watched!

In the movie, after Xu Sheng turned into a ghost, he massacred all the students in the school. Why was only Class 4 going to die? Obviously, she was Xu Sheng’s sweetheart, so why was she in this world as well? Why were Zhou Qingqing, Li Ni, and Xiao Chen, these three plot characters, not here?

What’s going on? What actually occurred? Where is this place?

Especially after she saw two students being murdered last night, she went absolutely crazy! She didn’t want to die! She really didn’t want to!

Xiao Chen came forward as Gao Xuhan lifted her head. But the moment she noticed him, she immediately screamed. “AHHHHHHH!!”

Gao Xuhan knew who he was with one glance.

Xiao Chen looked too gorgeous! Next to him, all the girls present could only be inferior. Xiao Chen’s biggest selling point was his pair of lucky phoenix eyes. Although the actor who played Xiao Chen was also handsome, compared with the Xiao Chen in front of Gao Xuhan, he was merely mediocre.

Xiao Chen was frightened by her screams and took a few steps back.

In a corner that no one could see, a black shadow stood there silently and motionlessly. Wisps of black smoke emitted from its body gloomily.

D*mn woman! You actually scared my Senior!

Gao Xuhan recalled how Xiao Chen died.

In the movie, Xiao Chen was a rich second generation, and he had an ambiguous relationship with Zhou Qingqing. For her sake, along with his own prideful nature, he was unsatisfied with Xu Sheng.

He spread false rumours of Xu Sheng’s sexual orientation. Then, Xiao Chen united with Wang Tong and Bai Qiaoqiao to humiliate Xu Sheng in the bathroom.

The person Xu Sheng hated the most was unquestionably Xiao Chen!

He had killed Xiao Chen by linchi!

One cut after another.

Even if the director didn’t shoot it all, it was disgusting enough.

How could Gao Xuhan dare to approach him? In the movie, Xu Sheng deliberately made him the last one in order to torment him. The people who died fast were basically those who were close to Xiao Chen. Xu Sheng used this method to play with Xiao Chen’s mind, refusing to let him die peacefully.

Gao Xuhan cried. She was too naive! How could a ghost be a good thing? What ghost wife? What love between a ghost and a human? How could these be more important than her life?

Xiao Chen realized that her emotional state was weird. He frowned, and the girls around him looked at each other. Ultimately, they all dispersed to search for clues again.

There were only two hours. In this time that would decide life or death, no one had the mood to go and comfort Gao Xuhan.

When Wang Tong brought people into the library, he appeared cold and tired. His whole body exuded a bloody air.

Xiao Chen peeked at the large team behind him. Everyone stared at Wang Tong with extreme fear. No one dared to be near him, and Wang Tong himself understood that.

Last night, it might not have been Wang Tong who personally killed the two people.

Wang Tong saw Xiao Chen instantly when he entered. His eyes widened, but he had mixed feelings and didn’t approach Xiao Chen.

Of course, everyone else had also noticed Xiao Chen. When they thought of the rumors between him and Xu Sheng, they were alarmed.

“Holy cow, the library is so big! What can we find?”

“Right, this clue is too useless. There isn’t any light, so we can’t even read the words properly!”

“Shut up!” Hearing people secretly complaining, Wang Tong sent sharp daggers towards them with his sight. Immediately, they were quiet.

Xiao Chen observed as the group aimlessly and messily flipped pages. He stopped walking.

His shadow was cast onto the floor by the weak moonlight. But the him in the shadow was in a different position. The distinction was very subtle, and if he hadn’t unconsciously looked down, he wouldn’t have found this at all!

The sole difference was that the index finger of his left hand in the shadow pointed to someone.

T/N: Yes, the game changes. This is a shorter chapter, so I had time to speedily draw some fan art of Wang Tong...before he’s gone for good.
