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

Chapter 818 The Haunted Dormitory 26

Her face was completely pale; she looked utterly terrified.

The expressions of the group were somewhat solemn. In real life, they were all ordinary people, even if they had some skills after training.

But compared to those incredibly strong monsters that only know how to kill, they are definitely no match.

Moreover, there are more monsters than people.

Some tried to resist, stabbing at the monsters with daggers, but the monsters were unharmed.

It's as if their skin and flesh are made of steel, which makes many people feel hopeless.

Since you can't beat them, the only option is to run away; that's what most people think.

Xu Siyao watched a large group of people run downstairs. When they got to the first floor, they tried to get out but couldn't.

The door they came through had completely disappeared, and the first and second floors were now closed off.

It means that apart from the sky above the courtyard, there is no exit here.

Someone ran to a room on the second floor and tried to jump out of the window, but found that the window couldn't be opened no matter what they did, even smashing it didn't help.

It seems that all options are blocked.

Xu Siyao then spoke up: "There is no other way but to tough it out. Rule Seven says that only humans can leave."

Yeltsin calmed down as well: "Yes, if we don't deal with these monsters, we won't be able to get out."

"Since it's a game, it will always leave us a way out. These monsters look invincible, but could they have weaknesses that we haven't discovered?"

Ji Yan has been observing those monsters, but hasn't found them yet.

Xu Siyao smiled and glanced at him, sharing the same thought as her.

Seeing the look in her eyes, Ji Yan's tense expression relaxed a little, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

The three people beside them, seeing the two of them still exchanging glances under these circumstances, were helpless for a moment.

But Ji Yan's words also reminded them that instead of running away, they stood on the balcony and observed the monsters.

Because most people went to the first and second floors.

Some of the monsters were people who hadn't finished killing the eighth and ninth floors, and then they went directly to the first and second floors.

They were standing on the fourth floor, having moved to the bottom of the building.

Here you can clearly observe the monsters at a distance that's neither too far nor too close, so even if a monster comes, you'll have enough time to run away.

Xu Siyao took out the Demon-Slaying Sword, the prize for first place, and stroked the blade, pondering it.

Yeltsin also looked at the sword with curiosity and saw the black mist on it.

He had a sudden inspiration: "Only the top three weapons have names, and they sound like they're for fighting ghosts and monsters. I wonder if your and Ji Yan's swords will be useful against those monsters."

Zhang Siyu took out her dagger: "Yes, our daggers are just ordinary weapons."

"It's useful. Have you noticed? If I'm not mistaken, our group is in the top fifty-five."

Xu Siyao's gaze had somehow drifted in one direction.

"Siyao, how did you figure that out?" Zhao Lu asked.

"The third place winner is also here. As for the people who won daggers after fourth place, I counted, and besides the three of you, there are exactly four people with daggers."

Xu Siyao pointed to the third floor, into one of the rooms.

It looks like there's a fight going on inside, but I can't make out what it is.

After watching for a while, they finally saw a middle-aged woman inside, holding a demon-slaying sword and fighting against the monster.

Because she didn't know any techniques, she just kept swinging her sword.

The two monsters surrounding her seemed somewhat wary of the sword in her hand.

Unlike other animals, they don't charge forward recklessly; instead, they hesitate and dare not move forward.

Ji Yan squinted and saw the person's face clearly: "That's Professor Shao from the Chinese Department. So she's the one who came in third place, Zhizu Changle."

"Should we go and help?" Yeltsin asked.

He wasn't a particularly kind person; he just felt that having another weapon useful against monsters would be the best thing for them.

"I think we can go and help? What do you think, Siyao?" Zhao Lu said, not forgetting to ask Xu Siyao.

Xu Siyao nodded: "Go, her weapon can damage monsters, and we'll have another helper."

It's fine if she's alone, but having companions gives her more leverage.

They need helpful assistants; otherwise, they'll only hold them back.

To be realistic, if people are useless, they'll take the weapons too.

Ji Yan and Zhang Siyu naturally had no objections, and everyone took out their weapons and went downstairs.

Shao Qun fought the two monsters with his sword, though they were afraid of his weapon and dared not get too close.

But he was unwilling to give up on killing her, so he kept guarding her.

They were clearly intelligent, and they would come up to her from time to time to test her and try to wear her down.

Shao Qun dared not let his guard down, fearing that he might be killed if he wasn't careful.

But she also felt that her physical strength was being depleted and she wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

The two monsters seemed to notice that her movements were slowing down, and they attacked her simultaneously.

Shao Qun brandished his sword to scare them away, but they had found a way to attack more and more frequently.

The demon-slaying sword was already quite heavy, and she felt her hand gripping it begin to go numb, while her arm ached and felt weak.

At that moment, she was careless, and one of the monsters found an opening and reached for her neck.

Shao Qun was swinging his sword at another monster, and there was no time to retract it to defend against the monster that was approaching him.

Just when she thought the monster would snap her neck and she was about to die.

--bite--

A longsword was thrown from outside the door, piercing the monster's hand and pinning it to the wall.

The monster stared at the sword piercing its hand, the wound sizzling and corroding its body.

Its entire face began to contort, and it let out a strange scream.

This also lets everyone know that they are not immune to pain, they just haven't been hurt at all.

"Be careful, Professor Shao."

Seeing that someone was in a daze and was almost attacked by another monster, Zhang Siyu quickly reminded him.

Shao Qun realized what was happening and quickly swung his sword to stab the monster.

Ji Yan took his sword and went to help, wanting to see if he could hurt the monster.

Xu Siyao walked in, took her sword from the monster's arm, and then, with lightning speed, stabbed it through the neck.

When the sword was sheathed, the monster lay motionless on the ground.

"Siyao, you're amazing!" Zhang Siyu walked over, her eyes crinkling with laughter as she looked at the monster on the ground.

Zhao Lu and Yeltsin, seeing that Ji Yan and Professor Shao were gaining the upper hand in dealing with the monster, also came over to take a look.

Xu Siyao said, "Siyu, try using the dagger and see if you can stab it into this monster's neck."

"You suspect that their neck is their weak point?"

"Well, I'm not sure if it's my weapon that's effective, or if their necks are their weak point."

“Then let’s all give it a try.” Yeltsin also stepped forward with a dagger.
