Became an Infinite Game Beauty NPC

Chapter 61

The people in the classroom immediately became frightened and anxious, nervously looking around as if something that shouldn’t be there had appeared in the classroom.

Ruan Qing also tightly clutched the edge of his clothes, no longer as calm as before.

However, besides them, it seemed like there was nothing in the classroom.

The flame of the white candles flickered, casting a slight sway on everyone’s shadows, shaking their hearts as if held tightly by a hand.

Fear and unease spread.

When the classmate’s white candle went out, they immediately ran back to their seat with a fearful expression, trying to huddle with other classmates.

However, unlike before, this time, the other classmates instinctively shrunk away when the classmate approached, as if they were some kind of virus.

But the next second, the classmates immediately realized how they acted and no longer avoided that student. One of them held the student’s hand and spoke gently to comfort them, “It’s okay, this is just a rumor made up by students to get into college. Even if the flame on the white candle goes out, it doesn’t mean anything.”

“Maybe it was the wind caused by you closing the door that extinguished the white candle. It’s just a coincidence.” Others also spoke up, not sure if they were comforting the classmate or themselves, but many classmates voiced their reassurances, trying to dispel the atmosphere of fear.

“We have to believe in science. There aren’t so many... ghosts in the world. Don’t scare yourselves.”

The classmate next to them immediately agreed, “Yes, yes, this legend has been circulating in the First High School for a long time. Surely other students have tried it, but we’ve never heard of any student getting into trouble.”

“That’s right. I’ve never heard of anyone getting into trouble. If something really happened, it would have spread long ago.”

“It will be fine. Everyone shouldn’t be too scared. After tonight, go home and rest well. It might even become a beautiful and exciting memory.”

Perhaps the comforting words had an effect as the classmate’s emotions were reluctantly calmed down, their expression relaxed a bit, and the other classmates were not as tense.

Only the players weren’t as optimistic, watching their surroundings vigilantly, holding onto the talismans and props to deal with supernatural entities in their hands.

After all, this was a supernatural instance, and it’s a side quest indicated by the instance. It’s definitely not possible for it to be like what those few classmates had just said.

Setting the scene at midnight with white candles clearly indicated an invitation to ghosts. An event that could receive blessings from deities? It was certainly not a good thing.

Deities? Perhaps they were actually a ghost?

They might have guessed the wrong direction from the very beginning, and it had now become a completely absurd mistake.

They had always thought that the ghost was still alive, that they hadn’t become a ghost yet. In reality, the ghost might have always existed, and it might have been keeping a close eye on them.

And they naively thought that as long as they protected their classmates or found out who died, everything would be fine.

They should never have focused their attention on the living, but rather on those who had... already died.

If it weren’t for this side quest, they would still be completely clueless and wouldn’t know how they died.

Almost all the players had thought about this and silently directed their gaze at a certain spot on the wall behind the classroom.
