109: Chapter 109 Pocket

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoman panicked instantly.

Waving her small hands in the air, she hurriedly said, "Jiang Xiaoyun, I was wrong. I really don't have a crush on any boy."

"When we go to school, please, you must not kick me out of the Dormitory."

In Xu Xiaoman's mind, Jiang Xiaoyun was a very smart girl and also her subconscious "big brother."

Whatever Jiang Xiaoyun asked her to do, she had to complete it.

Most importantly, Jiang Xiaoyun had once helped her by beating up all the classmates who made comments about her figure.

Therefore, while at school, no matter how Jiang Xiaoyun bullied her, she would never get angry.

And only Jiang Xiaoyun dared to bully her.

"Hmph!" Jiang Xiaoyun lifted her chin and waved her hand.

"Fine. You didn't just come to me to deliver documents, did you?"

"If you have something to say, report it quickly. I'm in a rush to update tonight's chapter; my readers are waiting for me like hungry fledglings."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoman felt as if she had delayed Jiang Xiaoyun's writing time.

Her expression became even more flustered, and in her anxiety, she couldn't even speak clearly.

"Um... Xiaoyun, it's just... after we cleared the duo dungeon yesterday, did you receive a new dungeon name?"

Jiang Xiaoyun switched the livestream page and entered her writing software.

While writing the first sentence, she replied, "I did."

"It seems to be called 'Liaozhai Afterword'? Judging by the name, it sounds like a Chinese-style dungeon."

"What, are you scared?"

Xu Xiaoman lowered her head and muttered, "No, my dungeon this time is different from yours, so I was wondering if we could form a team when the time comes."

Xu Xiaoman knew she was a bit slow; apart from having strong athletic talent, she was completely clueless about puzzle-solving.

The class she chose was also a Tank, meant for charging at the front.

"Of course you can, but if we want to team up, the entry time must be the same."

"I'm entering in 20 days. Can't help it; after getting two consecutive S-ranks, the dungeon is afraid of me."

"Ah?!" Xu Xiaoman's expression became even more flustered upon hearing this.

"B-but I have to enter the dungeon in 9 days."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoyun's hands, which were tapping on the keyboard, suddenly stopped, and her brows furrowed involuntarily.

"What is the name of your dungeon?"

"'Human Wax Museum.' It sounds so scary."

"That's terrible, Xiaoman. Without a big shot like me to carry you, your probability of death has skyrocketed!"

"And... your figure is too erotic. Without a gentleman like me by your side to protect you, I'm afraid there will be many perverts plotting against you!"

Xu Xiaoman's face turned even paler when she heard this.

"We might never see each other again. You can make a wish list, and within these last 9 days, I will accompany you to fulfill them one by one."

"After all, we are best friends. Xiaoman, I will miss you."

Jiang Xiaoyun produced a tissue from who knows where and pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes.

She put on a heartbroken expression.

Xu Xiaoman listened to Jiang Xiaoyun's analysis and actually believed it.

She walked over to Jiang Xiaoyun's side and picked up a fountain pen from the table.

Then, with a flushed face, she looked at Jiang Xiaoyun, tears glistening in her eyes.

"Uh... what are you doing?" Jiang Xiaoyun was filled with confusion.

"Writing my will. Xiaoyun, your ability to calculate probabilities is unquestionable."

"Haha, you little ditz, Xu Xiaoman! How could I let you die? I'll think of a way for you, but before that, I need to see someone."

"Xiaoyun, do you mean I can survive?"

"Of course. As long as I, Jiang Xiaoyun, am here, no one dares to bully you." Jiang Xiaoyun patted her shoulder.

Afterward, she opened her palm, and a black parchment scroll appeared within it.

"What is this?"

"A formula to actively enter a dungeon. It's a consumable and can only be used once."

Xu Xiaoman immediately understood, and her eyes lit up.

"Xiaoyun, that means you can enter the same dungeon with me!"

"That's right. However, this thing is extremely precious, and I wanted to save it for myself. So... I need to see someone to confirm a suspicion I have."

"If that person enters the same dungeon as you, maybe I won't need to step in, and I can save this item."

"What kind of person could make you think they can help me clear the dungeon?" Xu Xiaoman asked, full of confusion.

"A man who is cold on the outside but narcissistic on the inside."

"A man?!" Xu Xiaoman had a bad premonition.

At this moment, Chen Mo suddenly sneezed.

He touched his forehead; he didn't have a fever, and his physical state was at its peak.

That's strange. Could someone be scolding me?

"Boss, why did you kick this person named Jiyin out of the livestream?"

"She even gave our channel popularity tickets," the Shoe Ghost asked, confused.

Chen Mo activated the "streamer temporarily away" feature and leaned close to the Shoe Ghost's ear, whispering.

"This person is definitely a player too. Having too much contact with people participating in the Thriller Game is no good for me."

"I just checked this person's background. She's a mystery novelist, which makes her a dangerous individual."

The Shoe Ghost nodded, understanding.

In reality, Chen Mo remembered that the Management Group had mentioned a female player named "Jiyin" who also obtained an S-rank and possessed a rule-type item.

This was enough to show that this Jiyin was different from ordinary players and could attract the attention of the Management Group.

"Boss, what do we do next? We've already taken care of 4 people."

"Turn the livestream back on, go to the doctor's office, and tell Su Qing to get ready to move out."

"Understood!"

The Shoe Ghost and Chen Mo went in opposite directions, both turning into phantoms and disappearing into the Hospital corridor.

At this moment, Sun Bocheng was searching for clues inside the ward.

However, apart from a key on the table, he found absolutely nothing.

The blood-stained doctor's white coat inside the wardrobe looked too disgusting, and he would absolutely not wear it.

[Damn, this male doctor is too stupid. This doctor's white coat must be a costume-like item.]

[He's still wearing that tattered suit of his, putting on a false front. This is purely a recipe for suicide!]

[It makes me so angry watching this! What an idiot! Hurry up and repost this guy's video.]

Sun Bocheng came to the corridor; the storage room and the operating room were next to each other.

He tried to open the door with the key. With a "click," he opened the operating room.

Just as he pushed the door open, a baseball bat smashed onto his head.

Su Xuanyi saw that the person who entered was Sun Bocheng and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"It's me... why did you hit me?!"

"I—I thought you were some kind of monster," Su Xuanyi hurriedly explained.

"Forget it. Did you find any clues in this room?"

Su Xuanyi shook her head. "This place is just too terrifying. Before you came in, I couldn't see anything at all."

At this moment, the lights in the room turned on, and the two searched the room everywhere once more.

They didn't find anything.

"Strange. Our range of movement is only this much; there should be some clues."

Just as Sun Bocheng bent down and crawled under the table to search.

Su Xuanyi's eyes suddenly lit up, staring at Sun Bocheng's backside.

She said, "Bocheng, it seems like there is something in your trouser pocket!"
