Suddenly, the vending mae came to life, sg Wang Yang so much that he colpsed on the ground, his fierce demeanor vanishing instantly, leaving him speechless with terror.

  Thinking about it, it wasn't surprising. In the Horror World, anything could be a ghost. A vending mae that provides human food—how could it be normal?

  The vending mae bared its teeth but didn't pounce.

  Summoning his ce, Qin Nuo said, "We're employees of the restaurant. We earhis money. Why are we being treated differently?"

  "Having food is already good enough. The rats that came before even begged me for food. What more do you want, you filthy rats?"

  "Get lost!"

  Liu Jiaqi whispered, "Should we talk to that Pinocchio?"

  "It won't help. Let's go." Qin Nuo didn't argue. The vending mae ghost wasn't wrong. In the Horror World, humahe lowest of the low. Survival was the most important thing.

  Of course,

  That was befaining strength.

  Once he had the power, Qin Nuo would make this damned mae spit out double the food that beloo him!

  "ime, bring more money. If you have too little, you'll only get dead rats to eat!"

  The meaning was clear. This ghost po skim profits from them for the few days.

  Though Qin Nuo and the others were angry, they couldn't fight the ghost and had to leave.

  ***

  Following the dires, they arrived at the so-called dormitory, a gloomy, pitch-bck building.

  In the lobby, a faceless ghost sat at the reception desk, with only a mouth on its face, wearing a sinister smile.

  "We're restaurant employees."

  The faceless ghost handed over a key, its eerie voice eg in their ears: "Don't go out after midnight. If you open the door and something happens, we won't be responsible."

  Qin Nuo took the key and nodded.

  The dormitory had been abandoned for a long time, with signs of decay everywhere. The long corridors were empty, and the end was as dark as an abyss.

  The whole building seemed to have over a hundred rooms.

  The other cssmates should be here too. Whi was Tang Ming in?

  Their room was on the fourth floor, room 404. As they turhe worn-out doorknob, a musty smell hit them.

  There was only one bed in the room, which made Liu Jiaqi, the only girl, feel awkward.

  "Three people barely squeeze onto one bed. Of course, if you think men and women shouldn't be too close, you sleep on the floor," Qin Nuo said, turning to Liu Jiaqi.

  Liu Jiaqi was stunned. Did he say that the wrong way around?

  Wang Yang didn't care mud y down on the bed directly.

  Qin Nuo did the same. In the Horror World, where their lives were stantly at risk, who cared about gentlemanly duct?

  The floor was damp and could cause illness, not to mention the unknown bugs. Lying there for a day might not kill you, but it could affect your work the day, and there'd be no time frets.

  Liu Jiaqi looked at the floor aantly nodded.

  But she didn't rush to lie down. Instead, she went to the bathroom to freshen up a bit.

  Wang Yang took out a pack of pressed biscuits and started to eat.

  Qin Nuo also took out some beef jerky and began to chew.

  Staring at the palm-sized piece of beef jerky, Wang Yahe biscuit stu his throat bee tasteless.

  "Tear me off a piece, and I'll return it to you tomorrow!" Wang Yang demanded, his tone slightly anding.

  "I don't have enough," Qin Nuo replied, but he kept a rge pied stuffed it into his pocket.

  "'t we help each other out as cssmates?"

  "If it were me, would you give it? I'm not a bleedi, foolish enough to hand over life-saving food to someone else!" Qin Nuo said.

  Wang Yang was infuriated. "Don't be ungrateful."

  "Don't try to be tough with one hand. Be careful not to lose the other ooo!"

  Seeing Qin Nuo's cold smile, Wang Yang's face twitched slightly.

  He suddenly realized that this seemingly dumb guy who had been like a block of wood for two semesters wasn't someoo be easily bullied!

  He suppressed his aurned around, and tried to sleep.

  Ihroom, the itchy and sour-smelling body made Liu Jiaqi really unfortable.

  The bathroom enviro was equally bad, so she quickly wiped herself down and came out.

  On the bed, Qin Nuo and Wang Yang were already sn, sleeping deeply.

  Liu Jiaqi had eaten the so-called fish with pickled mustard greens, filled her stomach, and then ed herself in a thin b, lying dowo Qin Nuo.

  In the dead of night, a chilly wind blew.

  Half-asleep, Qin Nuo seemed to hear some sounds.

  Then, it felt like a hand ced on his leg.

  Slowly, the hand started to move upward, being more and more daring.

  Qin Nuo suddenly opened his eyes.

  Wang Yang on the left was still sleeping soundly, his snores rising and falling.

  Was it Liu Jiaqi's hand?

  Was this girl not sleeping and toug him instead?

  Qin Nuo was slightly stunned. Could it be that in this situation, the girl still had suterests?

  The hand became even more audacious, directly reag his crotch.

  Qin Nuo sat up abruptly, the bed creaking from his sudden movement.

  Wang Yang was startled awake and, seeing Qin Nuo sitting up, grumbled with bedhead, "Are you sleepwalking, damn it?"

  Liu Jiaqi rubbed her eyes sleepily, "What's wrong?"

  Qin Nuo looked at her just waking up, "What were you doing just now?"

  "Nothing, just sleeping."

  Qin Nuo looked at Liu Jiaqi's hands and suddenly believed her because that hand was still uhe boug him!

  "Damn it!! You have this kind of fetish? Not toug Liu Jiaqi but toug me? Get lost!!"

  Wang Yang suddenly pulled out a hand from uhe b, gring at Qin Nuo.

  Qin Nuo looked at him and then showed his own two hands.

  Liu Jiaqi looked at Qin Nuo's hands, then at the pale hand Wang Yang was holding, her pupils trembling as she covered her mouth tightly.

  Wang Yang's fastantly turned bloodless, holding the hand, unsure whether to throw it away or not.

  He gently lifted a er of the b, revealing a head with a split skull, the cleaver still lodged in the bone.

  "Holy shit!!"

  Wang Yang quickly pulled himself out, kig the b off the bed, and tossed the severed hand away.

  The head rolled out, grinning at the three of them.

  How could there be a ghost in the room?

  Qin Nuo suddenly remembered the words of the faceless ghost at the dormitory and asked the two, "Did either of you open the door?"

  Liu Jiaqi raised her hand and whispered, "I... after eating the fish soup, I threw the trash outside the door, just opened a crack."

  "You idiot woman, were you kicked in the head by a donkey?" Wang Yang shouted angrily.

  Liu Jiaqi, with red eyes, kept apologizing, shrinking into a er.

  "Hee hee, didn't you invite me in? Doesn't seem like you're very weling...

  Then I'll just eat you all."

  The head ghost extes unusually long tongue, ing it around Wang Yang's foot, who screamed in despair.

  Qin Nuo suddenly spoke, "I have something tastier. Do you want it?"

  "What?"

  Qin Nuo suddenly pulled out a Red Dragon from his iory and threw it at the ghost's face.

  The blood-stained sanitary pad, like a preagical artifact, emitted a blinding light.

  The head ghost let out a pierg scream, then slowly melted away, instantly turning into a puddle of thick, bloody liquid.

  Wang Yang and Liu Jiaqi were dumbfounded.

  Was that a sanitary pad?

  This guy actually carried a blood-stained sanitary pad with him?

  Qin Nuo didn't care about the looks of disgust from the two, y back down, and said, "Go back to sleep!"

  "Sanitary pads have such a use? Liu Jiaqi, do you have any more?" Wang Yang asked excitedly.

  "Are you kidding? I didn't give it to him!" Liu Jiaqi said, both embarrassed and angry.

  "If you get one, save one for me!"

  "Get lost, disgusting pervert!!"
