Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 814 The Haunted Dormitory 22

There was a man and a woman they had seen this morning on the seventh and twelfth floors, and another man and a woman they had never seen before.

Yeltsin looked rather unwell. They were all from the same school; who knew if he would look like this after he died?

"Hanging them up like this, even in death they can't rest in peace. It feels like this place is more terrifying than hell."

Xu Siyao looked at the two unfamiliar corpses: "The man and woman look like they just died recently. It might be related to visiting the neighbors. I hope Zhao Lu and Siyu are alright."

"The fact that they didn't appear up there means everything is alright for now, so don't worry too much," Ji Yan reassured him.

"Ah."

—Bang—Bang—

"Siyao~"

Suddenly, two loud thuds came from behind, followed by Zhang Siyu's fragile voice.

The three of them quickly turned around and saw Zhang Siyu and Zhao Lu lying on the balcony, both of them looking unwell.

Xu Siyao and the other two quickly went over, helped the two up, and led them into the room.

"What happened? Why did you suddenly develop high fevers?"

Xu Siyao helped Zhang Siyu up and touched her burning hot skin, knowing that she had a fever.

Without making a sound, he took the person's pulse and found that apart from fever, mental fright, and excessive mental exertion, there was nothing fatal.

"Cough cough, cough, we played a four-corner game, and with two people gone, it was a struggle to make it to the end," Zhao Lu said.

The three men put the two women on the sofa, and Yeltsin bought them two bottles of water.

"Have some water, you two don't look too good."

Xu Siyao bought two popsicles and had the two of them hold them to cool their faces and foreheads.

They could only buy food and water, but not medicine, so this was the only way they could manage for the time being.

The two drank water and then used popsicles to cool their faces. Their bodies were still burning hot, and the feeling of ice was very comfortable.

Seeing that the two were feeling a bit better, Ji Yan spoke up: "From what you've heard, being invited over by the neighbors is supposed to be a life-or-death game?"

"It's not wrong to call it a life-or-death game. Those two people, are they dead?" Zhang Siyu asked.

Because we hadn't heard any sounds, we only knew that the two people had been replaced by ghosts, but we didn't know for sure whether they were dead or what.

"Yes, it's already hanging outside." Yeltsin pointed outside.

Zhang Siyu and her companion looked outside but saw nothing, which puzzled them.

Xu Siyao explained, "The dead people were all suspended in mid-air from above the courtyard by ropes. The two people you mentioned should be up there too."

"So cruel, they don't even spare the dead?"

Yeltsin was somewhat relieved that the two were unharmed, but at the same time worried about what games they might play next.

"It's good that you're back. Tell us the details."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Siyu got excited: "Let me tell you, you don't realize how bad it is when you see others playing the Four Corners game, but once you play it yourself and know that there are ghosts involved, it really tests a person's mental fortitude."

Seeing that Zhang Siyu hadn't gotten to the point, Zhao Lu had no choice but to speak up herself and explain their game rules.

“We don’t know how many rounds we played. It got more and more frightening. If we didn’t stay calm, we might end up like those two.”

After listening, Yeltsin remarked, "Luckily, you two reacted quickly and calmly, otherwise..."

"I really listened to Siyao's advice. I need to stay calm at all times in order to think of solutions and keep myself in check," Zhang Siyu said with a smile as she looked at Xu Siyao.

Xu Siyao smiled slightly: "It's because you two are careful and attentive enough. It's good that you're back."

"It might be very dangerous ahead. Your current physical condition... Rule Six mentions this aspect of physical condition, which means that there will definitely be situations related to physical fitness later on."

Everyone understood what Ji Yan meant, and they were all a little worried that the two women's bodies wouldn't be able to handle it.

Xu Siyao: "It shouldn't be that fast. We haven't been invited to visit yet, and they have time to recover."

"Without fever reducers, I'm afraid their condition will get worse."

"It's okay, we'll get through this." Zhang Siyu had a good attitude.

Zhao Lu also stated, "I can manage, but I might need your help."

She deeply understands that having a reliable team is really important.

"We're a team, so helping out is nothing. You all should take good care of yourselves and drink plenty of water."

As Ji Yan spoke, he also bought two bottles of water for the two of them.

"Thank you so much, we're sick and you've gone to so much trouble."

Xu Siyao bought two more cans of yellow peaches: "I don't know where I heard that these are useful for sick people. Even if they don't work, they'll be a comfort to me."

Zhang Siyu glared at her reproachfully: "Siyao, you should have said so earlier, I could have bought it myself."

"As long as you get better, that's all that matters. Why are you arguing with me about these few gold coins?"

"Hehe, then I'll gladly accept it."

"Thank you, Siyao, thank you all. It'll probably be your turn tomorrow, so be careful," Zhao Lu said worriedly.

Yeltsin: "I know, I know, I was mentally prepared."

Just then, another commotion came from outside. Ji Yan went out to check and came back: "More people have died. There are five more corpses up there."

Yeltsin: "I don't know exactly how many people were invited to the event that day."

Xu Siyao looked at the two patients: "It's getting dark. You two need to rest early since you're sick, especially Siyu. You didn't sleep at all last night, so your resistance is even lower."

"I understand. Actually, I am really sleepy. No matter how many ghosts come tonight, don't worry, I can fall asleep."

While she was on edge inside, she didn't realize it until now. But now, Zhang Siyu felt increasingly tired, and sleepiness suddenly overwhelmed her.

"That's good, then we'll go back to sleep first."

Zhao Lu stood up; she did need to sleep to recover some energy.

While inside, I had to be on high alert the whole time, making sure I didn't make any mistakes in the game; it was really tiring.

"We'll take you back." Xu Siyao and the other two escorted the two back.

When they returned, there were only the three of them in the corridor.

Yeltsin was very perceptive and went straight back to his room.

Ji Yan walked to Xu Siyao's door and asked, "You haven't eaten yet. What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Let's have hot pot, do you want some?" Xu Siyao walked to the sofa and sat down, inviting him.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yan smiled and went inside: "Let's eat, I'll buy a hot pot set meal."

"Then I'll buy drinks and fruit, and things like that."

The two chatted while eating hotpot, discussing what would happen next.

"If we are all invited to visit our neighbors, I wonder if we will be assigned to the same place."

"Maybe. There are a total of 55 players. Nine have already died, leaving 46."

"I wonder how many people will be left in the end."

"It's estimated to be less than a quarter."

After the two finished eating, it was already late, so Ji Yan went home.

In the middle of the night, Xu Siyao heard a dog barking. She called the security guard and then went back to sleep.
