Nightmare Assault

Chapter 26: Rooms

Everyone was shocked by this sudden change. Fatty slithered back and pulled Jiang Cheng with him. The girl in the pyjama tripped and almost fell.

The suited man casually pulled the young man back and walked to the woman. The smile on his face was warm and friendly, We were just asking. After all, the equipment is very fragile. We just want to make sure nothing gets damaged during the transportation process so that everything will proceed finely during the event. It had to be said that the man looked handsome and had a gift of the gab. Even the woman seemed infected by him, and her face returned to normal. She said with some embarrassment, Please dont misunderstand. What I meant was Its already late, and the staff at the Prop Room probably has left work already.

The suited man nodded with understanding. Of course. Then, we can look at it when its more convenient.

Jiang Cheng studied the mans performance with no expression on his face. The suited man maintained a smile on his face as if he didnt know about the dangers of this world.

Doctor. Fatty whispered, Do you also think that man is not a good person?

Jiang Cheng glanced at him. I dont know about that, but Im sure hes not a simple man.

So Do we need to be cautious of him or not?

Ever since the last mission, Fatty understood that danger came not only from the ghosts but also from your teammates.

To his surprise, Jiang Cheng shrugged. Just treat him normally. People who stand out at the start of the mission can only be considered as not simple but not scary. The real danger is always hidden, just like a poisonous snake.

Fatty narrowed his eyes and looked at their company. Suddenly, he felt like no one was trustworthy. He walked closer to the doctor. They were basically stuck together. The school was larger than they thought. It was pretty too. The roads were decorated with lush trees. When they passed by a small garden, the garden was filled with blooms. If they were not in the middle of a mission, it was quite a nice stroll. The leading woman said very little. Thankfully, she answered every question they had, so they got some information about the school from her.

The school was called Yu Ying Music Academy. It was an elite school. The school might be big, but there was a small student population. A class had less than 20 students. When they passed by the main teaching building, the woman purposely paused. However, when she realised Jiang Chengs group had no intention of taking a picture for a souvenir, she led them away. Since it was still time for class, the whole school compound was empty.

The woman led them to an old hostel building. It used the construction style from decades ago. It didnt fit with the modern atmosphere of the school. The old door axle creaked noisily.

You can stay here. The middle-aged woman said expressively as she pointed down the darkness. If you want to eat, just go to the canteen. You have the employee cards so you can use both the student and staff canteen. Just avoid the lunch hour.

The woman in the qipao hugged her arms and said, Is this place even hospitable? Its so dirty. She looked at the wall with disdain. She fanned the air and complained, It smells too.

Its already nice that we have a place to stay. Why so many complaints? The young man with the cap suddenly cut in.

To everyones surprise, it was the middle-aged woman who became the peacemaker, Dont worry. The place doesnt look like much on the outside, but Ive cleaned all of your rooms. You can stay here without worry. Since the NPC had said that, they couldnt say anything else. It was clear that most people were not satisfied with this arrangement. Of course, their main concern was not the cleanliness but the oppressive nature of this building. Everyone could sense the uncomfortable presence, even just standing there. It was hard to describe. The building felt like it was alive, looking at them.

The woman gave the suited man four keys. Jiang Cheng noticed that they were old copper keys. They were very hard to find nowadays. Each key had a white tape stuck to the end. A number was written on it with a blue pen.

404, 405, 406, 407.

Four rooms.

Jiang Cheng walked to open the door closest to the first-floor lobby. The moment the door opened, a cloud of rotten air wafted out. He quickly jumped back. After the air cleared, the scene inside could be seen clearly. There were two beds in the room, one on the left and the other on the right. There were celebrity posters on the wall, but they were faded. There were also two small tables. The hostel had been abandoned for a long time. The tables were stacked together and pushed against the wall. The room was scattered with trash and empty bottles covered in a layer of dust.

The room only had half of a window. The other half was shattered by something, and the wind howled through the giant hole. All the rooms should have the same layout as a twin bedroom.

Jiang Cheng didnt casually enter this strange room. He backed away and asked the woman, There will only be eight beds in four rooms, but there are nine of us.

Thats right, Fatty added, How do you expect us to sleep here? He wanted the woman to move them to another location. Even if they had to sleep on the ground of some classroom, it was better than this place.

The woman revealed a mysterious smile. Ill have to trouble you tonight. Perhaps you wont need a place to sleep after that.

Fattys expression froze.

Okay. Jiang Cheng said, Well stay here tonight. By the way, when is the ceremony? We need to prepare for it.

Seven days from now.

Jiang Cheng nodded.

If we have time, can we tour the school? The suited man asked, Its so beautiful here. We wont have the chance to visit a place like this.

The woman thought about it and then answered with some difficulty. Okay. However, pay attention to the time. You have to return to your room before the sky darkens.
