âI donât understand what youâre talking about.â Su Zimo could see that even though Gao Yangâs brain didnât move very quickly, the hand holding the knife was very stable, so as the other party approached, he grabbed his things and walked to the door of the music classroom.
But Gao Yang was faster than Su Zimo, leapt forward, and stabbed the dagger in his hand directly into Su Zimoâs shoulder! At the same time, Cheng Jingmeng, who was Gao Yangâs âteammate,â blocked the entrance to the music room.
Cheng Jingmeng didnât have any weapon in her hands. She only spread out her arms and stood there nervously,
âSeek wealth and risksâŠâ
When the dagger stabbed him, Su Zimo remembered what his grandfather once said. Before his body could react, he could only watch the blade approach with a bitter smile. Since Su Zimo found the â3 Starsâ music sheet in the classroom, it would be more than worth it if he was really injured here or suffered some terrible things.
And he didnât even know the origin of the black umbrella with delicate designsâŠ
Wait! The umbrella?!
The word âumbrellaâ slipped into Su Zimoâs mind. He raised the umbrella he was holding in his right hand almost instantaneously, blocking the knife!
The very sharp-looking dagger landed heavily on Su Zimoâs umbrella, and the force behind the attack made him stumble back. If Su Zimo remembered correctly, Zheng Ming, the âveteranâ who had experienced three nightmare worlds in the last world, once said that the nightmare points from task clearance can not only offset the death penalty for clearance failure, but also could strengthen the body and be used to take things back to the real world.
Although Su Zimo didnât know how to do it, after he experienced the power that was greater than a normal personâs, he could be sure that Gao Yang had strengthened his body with nightmare points. That was the reason that Zheng Ming and Qi Xiaomin were stronger.
Is this a true veteran?
Su Zimo grit his teeth and continued to retreat, moving all the way to the front of the piano.
But at the moment when Gao Yang struck, Su Zimo suddenly felt the floor under his feet begin to tremble violently. The shock was so strong that the chairs and piano for students in the music room fell to the ground. Only the piano Su Zimo was leaning on was secure because it was nailed to the floor. Even Cheng Jingmeng who was blocking the door fell to the ground from the sudden quake!
Gao Yang was less affected than Cheng Jingmeng, but compared to Su Zimo, who was leaning on the piano, his steps became chaotic from the vibrations. Even the dagger in his hand swayed up and down.
âPeng Peng!â
At the moment of the âearthquake,â Su Zimo immediately looked over to where Peng Peng stood, but saw that the child wasnât there. Not only that, but Peng Peng couldnât be found in the entire shaking music classroom.
It was as if he suddenly disappearedâŠ
âWhat happened!â Several other trainers had already fallen to the ground. At that moment, they could only lean against the wall and hide in the corners.
âWhatâs going on? Is this an earthquake?â
âItâs a ghost! A ghost must have appeared!â
Su Zimo couldnât figure out what happened in this nightmare world, and he didnât know where Peng Peng went, but in the next second he heard a bang from behind him!
Because he wanted to guard against Gao Yangâs attack, Su Zimo hadnât looked back, but for the first time he saw incredulous shock and panic in Gao Yang and the other trainersâ eyes.
What did they see?
Gao Yang stepped back a few feet in shock. It wasnât until his heels hit the piano that he stopped and fell to the ground, bringing the dagger in front of his chest as if he was guarding against the very, very bad feeling in his heart.
They saw the normal white wall behind Su Zimo collapse instantly.
They saw the rubble from the wall had turned into dust as it landed on the floor.
After it collapsed, what appeared in front of them was not the maths classroom next door, but⊠a hospital ward!
Unlike the brightly lit music classroom, the ward that appeared behind the wall was shrouded in pale red light. If you took a closer look, you would even find a red crescent moon hanging outside the window.
A normal bed was placed in the center of the ward, and there was a âpersonâ lying in it.
An IV drip hung beside the hospital bed, but the bottle was filled with a strange red liquid. The âblood-likeâ liquid was flowing into the manâs body through the drip tube. There was also an ECG screen next to the bead to monitor his heart rate. There was no heartbeat displayed on the screen of the monitor. There was just a single flat line that seemed to never end.
âDiââ
A lingering âdi-â sound suddenly rang in the groupâs ears, stretching on and telling the trainers that the âpersonâ lying on the bed no longer had a heartbeat.
The vibration of the floor slowed down. Su Zimo saw that the shocked trainers hadnât acted, so he simply retreated to the relatively safe wall with his âbelongingsâ before turning around to see the ward suddenly appear behind him.
Because he was closer to the hospital bed, Su Zimo could even see the figure on the bed was wearing a ventilation mask.
It was a pale and thin young man with his hair long from negligence. Although he was wearing a mask, Su Zimo could see that the other person was beautiful. Maybe because he was in bed for a long, long time, his cheeks had no fat and the limbs exposed outside of the blanket were also very thin.
The pair of hands on top of the blanket were slender and beautiful, suitable for playing piano.
The most important thing was that the cupboard next to the bed held a music sheet that Su Zimo was very familiar with.
Thatâs⊠âMusic of the Dead!â
âPeng⊠Peng Peng?â Looking at the figure and the familiar sheet music lying in the red ward, Su Zimo looked down at the 3 Star Music of the Dead in his left hand and thought of the child who had disappeared from the classroom!
If Peng Peng was really a ghost, and if the text about the music sheet was true, then was the young man lying on the bed what Peng Peng really looked like?
