System [I am in a horror dungeon]

The three were talking when they suddenly heard a sound nearby. Chu Lingxian made a gesture to keep quiet and took a few steps towards the direction where the sound came from.

Lu Nanyin and Shen Rong followed behind her, poking their heads out to look at the scene in front of them.

Wu Jinyi, along with his two younger brothers, surrounded another boy and judging from their conversation, they were trying to extort money from him.

Lu Nanyin saw several ghost figures lying behind the three boys. One of them was a pregnant mother with a bulging belly covered in blood and flesh. Half of her face was disfigured. She was lying behind Wu Jinyi and scratching his head with her long nails.

Wu Jinyi covered his head with one hand, stepped aside, and let the two younger brothers do the fighting. Chu Lingxian picked up a few small stones and threw them, hitting the wrists and calves of the two men accurately. The two men screamed and stepped back a few steps, looking around, trying to find out who hit them.

The ghost lying behind them looked in the direction of them and slowly floated over.

Lu Nanyin still held her arm tightly and refused to let go. She looked at the ghosts approaching and shifted her sight. She said to herself, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid...

"You can see us."

Shen Rong looked at the two of them and spoke silently, "Did you see anything? Was it a ghost? How many were there? Were there a lot?"

Because of her words, all the people and ghosts' attention shifted to Shen Rong.

Shen Rong shrank her neck and said, "I can't see them, what are you two looking at?"

"Then...just keep an eye on them." Chu Lingxian pointed at the people in the woods and said to her.

Shen Rong pursed her lips and said, "Okay, you guys chat, I'm leaving." Then she approached the group of people and hid behind a tree to watch them.

Wu Jinyi looked at the two men who were hesitant to move, and angrily stepped forward and kicked each of them, "You two pieces of trash, what are you doing? Why don't you do anything?"

"Boss, someone is watching us. Look at our hands and legs. Could there be something dirty there?" A man looked around carefully, feeling a little scared.

Wu Jinyi kicked the man again, "What bullshit are you talking about! Do you know how to speak?" Looking at the boy who was lying on the ground and curled up in a ball, he spat on the ground and walked away cursing.

……

Chu Lingxian knew the cause of death of several people, which was more or less related to Wu Jinyi and his younger brothers.

Liu Jia, female, 28 years old, whose husband is an employee of a company owned by the Wu family, encountered Wu Jinyi, a speeding driver, on a relatively remote road. She was hit while crossing the road and died on the spot.

Wang Xiaoyu, female, 18 years old, was looked at a few more times by Wu Jinyi because of her good looks. She was discovered by his younger brother, who captured and drugged her in order to bribe Wu Jinyi. She lost her innocence and was also photographed in indecent photos and videos. She was constantly threatened and tried to commit suicide in the bathroom to put the blame on Wu Jinyi, but his family used money and power to settle the matter.

Xiao Yun'an, male, 14 years old, was bullied to death by Wu Jinyi at school, and his family's calling the police was of no avail.

Ma Huaiyu, male, 15 years old, …bullying to death.

Wei He, male, 10 years old, …bullshitted to death.

……

Five people lost their lives because of him, but he received no punishment, and he never even went to the police station. He hid under the label of a minor and committed murder. Because his family was powerful and because he was under 18 years old...

After listening to their stories, the two remained silent for a long time.

Shen Rong supported the boy and walked over. She looked at the two people with gloomy faces, scratched her head, and stood quietly by the side without saying a word, for fear of saying something wrong and making them even angrier.

After a long silence, Chu Lingxian asked the boy, "What's your name? Why did they call you here?"

"My name is Xu Xiaoguang, I'm 14 years old, and in Class 4. They... took my things and asked me to come here to find them." Xu Xiaoguang kept his head down and spoke in a low voice.

Chu Lingxian didn't know what to tell him. If she asked him to resist, he might be bullied more severely, and if she angered him, he might even lose his life. She couldn't tell him to just endure for a while and keep things calm. She could only ask him to exercise more and not go to see them alone.

……

They returned to the dormitory. Wei Shuyi went to bed early because of his injury, while Wei Shuyao was reading a book on the side, waiting for them to come back.

"Lin Yuan, Xue Qiya came to see you just now and asked me to tell you that Wu Jinyi went out tonight, but I don't know what he did. I want to ask you if you know."

Lu Nanyin was puzzled, "How did she know that Wu Jinyi went out, and why did she ask her if she knew?"

Wei Shuyao shook her head. "I don't know. She even whispered that you two must not talk to each other and cannot have any cooperation."

Chu Lingxian looked at her, "You said before that Wu Jinyi was interested in me. Is it possible that he was interested in the family power behind me, not me as a person? And Xue Qiya was staring at me because she couldn't let our two families cooperate and take away their business. People trained by big families will not only look at those small things."

"I thought it was simple, but Wu Jinyi is not a good person, nor a good partner."

Chu Lingxian raised the corner of his mouth, "Why, you know him well?"

Lu Nanyin and Shen Rong also looked at Wei Shuyao with inquiring eyes.

But she just smiled and said, "I was in the same class with him in the first year of high school, so I know her a little bit." After that, she hugged a quilt, spread it on the ground, lay down on it and closed her eyes.

Lu Nanyin looked at her, thinking about what she said, "Do you believe what she said?"

Shen Rong spread her hands and said, "Anyway, I don't believe it. It's getting late. Let's go to bed."

Chu Lingxian didn't express any opinion. He just said, "Go to sleep, good night." Then he took off his coat, hung it on the hanger, walked to his bed, and lay down to sleep.

Lu Nanyin didn’t understand what they were doing, so she shrugged, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

……

In the middle of the night, Lu Nanyin felt someone pulling her quilt, and then she impatiently started fighting for the quilt with that person.

"Lu Ying, Lu Ying, wake up, wake up quickly..."

The voice sounded a little strange. Lu Nanyin's sleepiness disappeared instantly. She carefully opened her eyes a little and saw a figure beside her bed. She could hear slight footsteps, but fortunately it was not a ghost.

Lu Nanyin carefully picked up the phone from beside the pillow, sat up, and looked at the person in the light of the phone. It was actually Wei Shuyi!

"You...how..."

Wei Shuyi covered her mouth, pulled her to the door, opened it a crack, and motioned Lu Nanyin to look opposite.

Lu Nanyin shifted her gaze to the room opposite in confusion and saw that the door was wide open. Then, with the moonlight shining through the windows of the corridor, she saw the door was wide open. She also heard the sound of water dripping onto the ground, echoing in the empty corridor.

Lu Nanyin retracted her gaze, glanced at Wei Shuyao, and then looked up, and saw a black shadow appear in the room opposite, with no feet and no shadow.
