I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

Bai Qiquan saw the white-clad figure reappear behind her.

"!"

He almost dropped his phone again, but luckily it was mostly on the table this time, so Bai Qiquan only made a crisp click, which caught the attention of the person at the next table.

"Only the main character can see this. Is there something fishy about it?"

Bai Qiquan felt that the white-clad figure didn't seem human; it was more like some kind of familiar yet indescribable creature. Just looking at it made him feel uncomfortable, with an instinctive resistance.

He continued reading, and Lu Ban proposed a strategy that successfully engaged the group of wilderness hunters in battle, allowing them to enter the cave in the center of the ruins.

"It's turned into a pirated movie. Could there be a mummy down there?"

Bai Qiquan thought of "The Mummy," which was one of his childhood nightmares. When he went home for summer vacation, his younger cousin, who was still in elementary school, had already stopped watching these movies from the last century, which made him feel very regretful.

As the group moved through the tunnel, Bai Qiquan watched them talk and suddenly felt something was amiss.

"Is someone missing?"

He paused, stepped back, and looked around.

There really is one person missing.

However, the group in the movie seemed oblivious to this and continued their conversation as usual.

There's a problem.

Bai Qiquan noticed that every few sentences of conversation, one person would disappear, yet they remained completely unaware.

The eerie atmosphere sent chills down his spine. Bai Qiquan kept rewinding the video, confirming that someone was indeed missing and that he wasn't seeing things.

In the end, only Lu Ban and one other person remained. After Lu Ban said a sentence, the entire movie fell into a deep darkness.

Then, in the darkness, the figure in white suddenly appeared.

"Holy crap, I knew it! We were really short one person!"

Bai Qiquan couldn't help but mutter something under his breath, then quickly shut his mouth and looked up to make sure he hadn't disturbed anyone else.

But he noticed that there seemed to be fewer people in the study room.

"Ok?"

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination or if there were really fewer people; the study room looked much emptier and quieter.

Bai Qiquan looked next door and realized that the people at his neighboring table had disappeared sometime earlier.

Or was there really someone here before?

Influenced by the plot of the movie, Bai Qiquan also became somewhat uncertain.

"Should we go back to the dorm...?"

He glanced at the dark campus outside the window and swallowed hard.

At that moment, Bai Qiquan suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a figure dressed in white looking at him from behind the glass of the classroom window.

"!!!"

The hairs on his body stood on end, a jolt of electricity shot up his spine, and Bai Qiquan instinctively stood up, making a loud noise.

"Outside……"

He pointed out the window, drawing the attention of several people.

What's going on outside?

Someone asked a question earlier.

"Didn't you see?"

Bai Qiquan countered with a question.

He looked again at the location where the figure had been, but there was nothing there anymore, only the pitch-black campus, dim and lifeless.

"There's nothing there..."

Startled by Bai Qiquan's expression, the man followed his gaze but found nothing.

"Are you too tired, classmate? Why don't you go back to your dorm and rest?"

Someone suggested.

"I am fine."

Bai Qiquan sat back down.

He figured the shadowy figure was probably just an afterimage left on his retina from looking at his phone for too long; after all, it was just a movie and couldn't possibly affect reality.

He continued playing, showing Lu Ban following the figure forward and seeing the mural gradually becoming clearer. Then, the scene shifted through the mural, revealing ancient images: a grand sacrificial ceremony, a prosperous city, and a brilliant civilization—all breathtaking.

But no one knows why this place was destroyed.

Is the cause of this destruction located at the end of this road?

Bai Qiquan pondered for a moment, then glanced up at the classroom again.

He then saw a person dressed in white with black hair standing in front of his table, staring straight at him.

Chapter 201 Aren't you afraid of not being able to sleep at night?

The moment Bai Qiquan saw that person, his heart and lungs nearly stopped.

He saw the other person staring straight at him, and then his lips twitched.

"What, are you acting like you've seen a ghost when you see me?"

The other person spoke a voice that Bai Qiquan recognized.

He then realized that it was his girlfriend, Pang Zhen.

No, that's not it.

Bai Qiquan hurriedly tried to explain, but his explanation was just a cover-up, and his pale face betrayed him.

"Were you chatting with other girls and feeling guilty when you saw me?"

Pang Zhen sat down next to Bai Qiquan, her tone becoming playful.

"I thought it was hard for you to study alone in the study room, so I bought you some food."

She was holding drinks and desserts, which looked like they were from a 24-hour KFC.

Hearing the two whispering, a male student in the study room turned around and glanced at them. Upon seeing that they were a couple, he immediately shook his head and turned back.

It's one thing to study alone in a cold study room late at night, and another to risk failing your course, but what's more, there are couples showing off their affection in the study room.

The man moved forward two rows, away from Bai Qiquan and the others.

"I was just watching a video, a new video made by the director of the previous 'Crying' film."

Bai Qiquan explained in a low voice.

"Oh, that's it... Wait, what did you say?"

Pang Zhen realized what was happening too late, and her face turned pale instantly.

She was well aware of how terrifying Lu Ban was.

After watching the movie that day, neither of them dared to go back to their dorm alone, so they ended up booking a room at a hotel near the school.

Then, none of the things that many people were looking forward to happened, and Pang Zhen was even teased by Bai Qiquan for snoring at night.

It was an absolutely disastrous experience!

I haven't even mentioned that he grinds his teeth at night!

Pang Zhen glanced at the phone screen in Bai Qiquan's hand.

"You still dare to watch? Aren't you afraid you won't be able to sleep at night?"

"Isn't this just studying all night? Watching something scary can help me stay awake, and this isn't even that scary."

That's not as bad as the way you scared me just now.

Bai Qiquan added a sentence in his mind.

"Then you can watch it, but I'd rather die than watch it."

As she spoke, Pang Zhen took out her textbook and began to read and study in a very serious manner.

Bai Qiquan glanced at the person next to him, then continued watching the movie.

With someone around, the movie isn't so scary anymore.

He saw Lu Ban arrive at a large hall with a pool in the center. The camera then switched to the other people, whose experiences in the passageways were all thrilling, making Bai Qiquan watch with bated breath.

Fortunately, everyone arrived at the lobby.

Blood dripped from the pool in the center of the hall, and a platform rose up along with something resembling insect eggs, making Bai Qiquan feel uneasy.

*Pfft*

Only when the top of the insect egg cracked open and countless tentacles stretched out did Bai Qiquan finally feel a subtle sense of nausea.

"Ugh, that's disgusting."

Pang Zhen, who was peeking at Bai Qiquan's phone screen, made a comment.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't watch it?"

I saw it by accident.

"Oh!"

Bai Qiquan ignored the woman. He saw the creature inside the insect egg trying to break free. The tentacles were blocked by Lu Ban, but it still tried to burrow into the skin.

He felt a chill run down his spine, as if those insects had crawled directly into his hand. Bai Qiquan couldn't help but scratch his arm, only to find that the more he scratched, the itchier it became.

Bai Qiquan glanced at it.

He discovered that under the slightly reddened skin of his arm, it felt as if some kind of insect had burrowed in and was wriggling in his blood vessels, about to burst out.

Holy crap!

He couldn't help but exclaim and hurriedly stood up.
