When the footsteps faded away, he put down his hand and said with an embarrassed look, "Sorry, it was an emergency. I hope I didn't hurt you."

Jiang Yuechu shook her head. "You, who are you? Why are you here?"

"My name is Shen Ruoyu, just like you."

Same as her?

Could he also be a user of that weird APP? Oh my God, I actually met a companion. This is great! It is better than wandering around in a strange place alone.

"My name is……"

"Achu, I know. I just heard it. Let's leave here first. We will find that thing back soon." Shen Ruoyu took her arm and walked upstairs.

They hid in a small room, which looked like the previously abandoned academic affairs office. They waited for about half an hour, and Shen Ruoyu watched from the window.

"We don't have much time, so we can't waste it here. Do you know everything about how to use the APP?"

He suddenly turned around to ask a question. Jiang Yuechu was stunned for a moment and replied, "I still don't quite understand. Did you use it for a long time?"

"Ah."

Shen Ruoyu had used this APP much earlier than her and was very familiar with it. After his explanation, Jiang Yuchu learned how to use this APP. She had to complete the task within the specified time, and the reward for each completed task was different.

"That's weird. You're a first-time user, so why are you assigned a difficult task?"

"I don't know either. Is there anyone else here besides you?"

Shen Ruoyu nodded, "There should be. We can only appear at night. People here can't see us during the day, so we can only find clues to complete the mission during the day. Once it gets dark, we have to avoid the pursuit of evil spirits. I just got separated from the others and don't know where they are."

Jiang Yuechu lowered her head and recalled the task prompts. What she saw was not necessarily a person. If Shen Ruoyu was not a human, then there was no need for him to save her. In other words, the victims of the tragedy that year were looking for targets for revenge.

This is no different from an escape room. The person who developed this app is really perverted.

Jiang Yuechu cursed several times in her heart, but when she looked up, she found that the room was empty. Shen Ruoyu, who had just been standing in front of the window, was gone.

"Shen Ruoyu?" Jiang Yuechu quickly stood up, looked around and called out several times. There was silence all around, and no sound could be heard except hers.

Jiang Yuchu swallowed, suppressed the fear in his heart, slowly walked to the window, placed his hands on the windowsill, and looked into the corridor.

At first glance, the corridor was pitch black, not even a single figure could be seen.

'patta'

The sound of water dripping on the ground rang in her ears. It sounded like the noise came from below. Jiang Yuechu slowly lowered her head, but the scene in front of her frightened her so much that she couldn't move.

A face distorted to the extreme, with a protruding left eye and the right eyeball hanging outside the eye socket. The middle of the nose seemed to be cut in two by a sharp blade, and the nasal bone in the middle was clearly visible. When he saw her, the corners of his mouth stretched to the maximum, revealing a weird smile.

"Hehe, I found you." As he spoke, the saliva in his mouth slid down the corners of his mouth and fell to the ground.

The sound of water dripping just now was his saliva!

Jiang Yuechu was so frightened that she stood still. She wanted to run, but her legs felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't move.

She watched as the thing grasped the wall with his hands and moved closer to her little by little, until his face was in front of hers and a foul smell came out of his mouth.

A strong hand suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her back. Jiang Yuechu, who was still in shock, was dragged away by the person behind her like a chicken.

Jiang Yuechu's eyes were fixed on the thing that was crawling on the ground and running towards them. She raised her hand and pointed at it with trembling hands, "He, he, he is catching up."

"Close your eyes!"

The rapid scolding exploded in Jiang Yuechu's ears. Jiang Yuechu closed her eyes in panic and let him drag her away.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yuechu was thrown out by a powerful force. Her back hit the wall and bounced to the ground. The intense pain brought her back to her senses.

Jiang Yuchu held his back and sat up with difficulty. When he looked up, he saw Shen Ruoyu sitting on the ground, sweating profusely and breathing heavily.

"what is going on?"

"Didn't I tell you not to run around? Why won't you listen? What should I do if you die?" Shen Ruoyu roared with red eyes.

Jiang Yuechu was yelled at and didn't react for a moment. She just lowered her head and apologized quickly, "Yes, I'm sorry. I just saw that you were gone, so I wanted to go out to look for you."

Shen Ruoyu sighed and walked to Jiang Yuechu's side, holding her in her arms. Her deep voice reached her ears, "It took me a lot of effort to get you back. You must not die."

Did it take so much effort to get her back?

When Jiang Yuechu heard these words, his consciousness instantly broke through the barrier and regained control of his body.

Shen Ruoyu felt that the person in her arms was a little different. She distanced herself from him, her eyes showing a moment of panic. "You, what's wrong with you?"

"Should I call you Shen Ruoyu or A Yan?"

Jiang Yuechu got up from the ground and waved his hand to beat out the book spirit hiding in the dark. The book spirit shrank into the corner aggrievedly, realizing that he was being used. He also knew that he was no match for Jiang Yuechu, so he hid and didn't even dare to say a word.

Shen Ruoyu's face turned pale instantly, "Achu, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Am I talking nonsense?"

Jiang Yuechu approached Shen Ruoyu step by step. The screams of the evil spirit outside the room continued. She glanced in the direction of the door with gloomy eyes, and then cast a spell out of thin air, and all the screams stopped instantly.

"I didn't understand why at first, but now I understand. You followed me from the beginning when I entered the small world. Every time I was in danger, you would transform into a different person to approach me and help me through the difficulties. But how could a ghost like you be involved with the system?"

Jiang Yuchu could never figure this out, but she was sure that no matter whether it was Shen Ruoyu or A Yan, the system could not be unaware of their existence, and they deliberately concealed it from her.

Shen Ruoyu's lips trembled slightly, and she realized that she was not the same person who had just arrived.

"I'm sorry, I just, I just want to protect you. I have never posed any threat to you. You don't have to keep an eye on me."

Everything here was simulated by the book spirit using Jiang Yuchu's memory. She also knew that the person in front of her was unreal, but she wanted to know the truth too much.

"Tell me, when did you start following me?"
