Global Collapse.

Chapter 961: Just forty more chapters to reach one thousand!
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Jing suddenly stopped what she was doing and her expression was off, Curly Hair also went to the door and looked inside through the glass.

There was a person in a corner of the classroom, close to the wall and not easily seen.

The person was sitting face down on the desk, as if asleep.

It's normal for people to doze off at their desks at school, but Curly's expression changed when he saw it.

Curly and Jingwai's other three teammates stared blankly at the person sleeping in the classroom, wondering why the two of them were reacting so strongly.

"What's wrong?" Chu Meiren's voice came from behind him.

Curly was caught off guard and startled. He turned around and saw that Chu Meiren, who had just left, was now standing behind him, watching the person sleeping on the desk in the classroom with them.

Xiao Qiao even peeked out from behind Chu Meiren, eager to see what was going on.

“This thing in the classroom… is a ghost,” Jing explained solemnly.

"Has anyone been killed by it?" Chu Changge asked. "What was the method of killing?"

Jing shook her head: "I only know that you will die if you are in the same room as it, and I don't know anything else. This ghost only appeared once in the school, half a year ago, and the only people in the group who have survived since then are me and Xiao Juan."

Curly's nickname is "I'm Not Curly," and Jing calls him Little Curly.

"Back then, our team had a lot of people, seven in total. Three of them were killed by this ghost, and the other two died one after another in the past six months because they triggered the killing patterns of other ghosts," Curly said, recounting the events of that year.

"This ghost appeared suddenly. It first appeared in a classroom half a year ago, lying on the desk just like now. At that time, no one realized it was a ghost. One of my teammates walked into the classroom where it was without realizing it. He fell to the ground after only a few steps. The teammate behind him instinctively followed to help him up, but then fell down next to him."

"Dead?" Chu Changge asked.

Jing shook her head: "They weren't dead. Although they were lying on the ground, you could see their chests rising and falling, and their player panels could be opened. You can't open the player panels of a dead person. When the two people who entered the classroom fell to the ground together, we outside immediately realized something was wrong and guessed that there might be a ghost in the classroom, so we stopped outside and looked in from the door."

Sure enough, in a corner that was not easy to spot, I saw someone sleeping on the table. That was the one.

Jing pointed through the glass to the person slumped over the desk in the classroom.

At this moment, Curly had subconsciously taken two steps back, seemingly terrified of the ghost.

"We immediately realized it was a ghost, and the two people who entered the classroom had probably triggered its killing pattern and that's why they collapsed. But at the time, we all believed that as long as we didn't break the rules, the dormitory was safe at night and the classroom was safe during the day. We never expected that a murderous ghost would suddenly appear in the classroom during the day."
"Our first reaction was shock. What we thought was a safe zone suddenly became unsafe, and for a moment, no one knew what to do."
"The bell was about to ring for class, and we didn't know how to save the two people inside, so we went to other classrooms to hide from the ghosts outside. When we went to check on the ghost classroom after class, we found that the two people inside were dead. They were lying on the ground with their heads cut off and holding them in their arms, and the ghost in the classroom had disappeared."

Jing's expression turned solemn as she said this: "This is just the beginning; we've discovered that the real horror is yet to come."
"The next morning, someone passing by a dormitory found that everyone inside was dead, and their deaths were the same as those of my two teammates. There was a person lying on the table in the middle of the dormitory, which was the ghost from the classroom. It was the ghost that killed everyone in the dormitory."

"Those people all died in their own beds. It was clear that the ghost entered the dormitory after they were asleep. Nobody knew how the ghost got into that dormitory."

"Later, this ghost moved many times. No one saw how it moved. All we know is that it would randomly appear in a room. No room could stop it. Then everyone in the room would fall to the ground and die after a while. "Because of the appearance of this ghost, the dormitory and classroom became unsafe. At any time, a ghost would appear and kill everyone in the room. It is worth mentioning that it can only appear in the room and will not appear in the open space. As long as you do not enter the room, you will not be killed."

"But if we don't stay in the dormitory or classroom during the designated time, our situation will be more dangerous. Inside the room, there is only the possibility of being randomly killed by that ghost, but outside, there is a 100% chance of not surviving."
"At that time, we players also took countermeasures. The ghost would only kill people in the same room as it. So we players quickly dispersed. During the day, we each had a classroom, and at night, we each had a dormitory. This way, even if the ghost suddenly appeared, it could only kill one person, which could minimize the number of deaths."
"Even so, during that period, we still heard about people being killed by this ghost every day. It was terrifying. At least the other ghosts in the school followed the rules and didn't venture into the safe zone, so we at least had a place to catch our breath and rest. But this ghost would appear in places you thought were safe without you noticing, and then kill everyone within range, making people live in fear every moment."

"The whole school was in a panic. Some people said that if this ghost kept killing, it wouldn't be long before all the living people in the school were killed. But just when everyone was in a panic, the ghost suddenly disappeared. It inexplicably never appeared again. At first, we thought that the ghost had been in an empty room for the past two days and hadn't been discovered, but as time went on, everyone realized that the ghost never showed up again."

"Just like that, this ghost appeared out of nowhere and disappeared out of nowhere before we figured out its pattern. It disappeared for half a year, and then it reappeared today."

Jing let out a long breath: "The terror of this ghost lies in the fact that there is no way to escape or avoid it. Once it appears, there will be no safe place in this instance."

Chu Changge stared at the ghost lying on the desk in the classroom for a while, then asked, "Do you know its movement frequency? How many times a day does it appear in different places? How many times a day does it change its location?"

Jing shook her head: "There's no pattern at all. Sometimes it stays in one room all day, and sometimes it moves around several times a day. On the day it moved the most, it appeared in four different rooms."

"This ghost is so scary, are we still going to stay on the second floor?" Jiajiawang took a step back in fear, hiding behind Curly Hair. "I don't think this building is safe anymore."

“Hiding is completely useless. I told you there’s no escaping this ghost. It appears randomly, and it won’t find you just because you’re far away. Besides, class is about to start, and there’s no time to leave.” Jing glanced at the watch on Curly’s wrist; there were still five minutes until the bell rang.

"There's no time. Let's find two classrooms to go in first. We'll talk about the ghost later," Jing said to the others.

They found two empty classrooms facing each other, some distance from the ghost, and went inside. There were less than two minutes left before the bell rang.

Jing closed the classroom door and found a chair to prop it up against the doorway to prevent it from opening and closing automatically and making noise.

Before the bell rang, Jiajiawang asked her anxiously, "Sister Jing, what if that ghost suddenly starts moving around? What if it teleports into our house right now and we're all going to die?"

Just as Jing was about to speak, she suddenly heard a sound coming from the corridor outside.

It was the sound of running; several people were running in the corridor outside.

Interspersed among them was a breathless voice: "Wait, wait..."

It seems someone is falling behind the person in front and is asking someone to wait for them.

The school bell will ring in one minute, and experienced players won't rush like this.

Jing peered curiously through the glass door and saw a red blur rush towards her, then burst into the classroom opposite with a "bang"—the classroom where Chu Meiren and the female celebrity were.

GuGu is really amazing, she's almost written a thousand chapters!
