Phi-Fic Chapter 799 The Haunted Dormitory 7
Chapter 799 The Haunted Dormitory 7
Lanshan Jingwan Residential Area, City S
Inside a detached villa, a worried couple sat in the living room.
Mrs. Xu rubbed her temples, which were tense from staying up late, and looked haggard.
"A day has passed, and I still don't know how Yaoyao is doing. How could such a thing happen?"
Mr. Xu, who was standing next to her, patted her shoulder, offering silent comfort: "Yaoyao will definitely be alright."
He was also unsure of himself as he said this. All the parents had watched the school's surveillance footage several times, but they hadn't seen anyone leave.
But the next day, the school was deserted, with only the security guard remaining in the security room.
The security guard also claimed that after the school dormitory lights were turned off, no one went in or out, so where did the teachers and students go?
Sitting to the side, Ji Yan's mother's eyes were also full of worry. She looked at Ji Yan's father, who was holding his phone and trying to find out information from someone.
"Honey, still no news from them?"
Ji Yan's father put down his phone and shook his head: "No, for some reason, even the satellite surveillance didn't capture any images of him."
In his usual workplace, he interacts with people of some status and has connections with those in power, so he gets information relatively quickly.
The two families are neighbors, and their children are classmates, so this happened.
They spent the whole day at school and came back without finding anything, so they could only come back and sit together to wait for news.
"What are we going to do? More than a thousand people from the school have just disappeared into thin air. Is this a normal phenomenon?"
Ji Yan's mother's eyes were red. She was worried that something might happen to her only son.
When Xu's mother heard what she said, she couldn't hold back her tears. She only had one daughter.
Suddenly, her phone beeped; it was the sound of a text message notification.
I initially thought it was spam and didn't bother watching it.
But because she was so worried about her daughter, she fantasized that maybe the message was from Yaoyao.
Upon checking her phone, she immediately stood up excitedly: "Yaoyao sent me a message!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Xu perked up: "What? Quick, let me see! What did Yao Yao say? Where is she now? Is she alright?"
Ji Yan's parents also gathered around, eager to ask if Ji Yan was alright.
But they knew the situation; if they had news about Ji Yan, they wouldn't have kept it to themselves. They didn't know why he hadn't sent them a message back.
I wonder if they've encountered some kind of danger; they might not even be able to send messages.
How is Siyao?
"Yaoyao said she's doing well and told us to wait for her to come back, but she didn't say where she is."
As she read the brief text message aloud, tears streamed down Xu's mother's face.
However, since there was finally some news, at least proving that the person was alright, she felt somewhat relieved.
But she was more worried about where the person had gone, and dared not think about what her daughter was facing now.
Various terrifying thoughts flashed through my mind, eventually turning into worry and fear.
Mr. Xu handed her a tissue, his mind also in turmoil.
Ji Yan's father spoke up: "This...should we ask the higher-ups to investigate and see where this text message came from?"
"Can you find it?" Mr. Xu asked hurriedly.
"Let's give it a try, otherwise there's no other way. The higher-ups haven't found a single clue, and this text message is the only hope and lead we have right now."
Mrs. Xu wiped away her tears, composed herself, and said, "Let them investigate. Yao Yao didn't say she couldn't tell anyone, so it should be okay to let her know."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Xu nodded. After all, they were just ordinary people, and it would be difficult to find answers without seeking help.
Ji Yan's mother looked at Ji Yan's father and gestured for him to contact someone.
"Then I'll make a call." Ji Yan's father nodded, took out his phone, and contacted the person in charge.
When they returned from school, they all left the phone number of the police officer in charge of the school.
Not long after the call was made, several cars arrived outside the Xu family villa.

Xu Siyao didn't know the situation at home or outside, but she could roughly guess.
She's sleeping now. If she doesn't sleep at night, her health points will keep dropping, and she's sleepy anyway.
It was just 4:30 a.m. when everyone was woken up by Gui Gui's voice.
The early bird catches the worm. Good morning everyone! A new day has begun. Let's welcome our new friends.
Welcome to the Haunted Dormitory! I'm your system, Ghost.
Xu Siyao got up at 4:30, not even wanting to open her eyes, and yawned as she checked the chat room.
When everyone opened the chat lobby, they discovered that the original 500-plus people had grown to 10,000, with over 9,000 people joining at once.
The magic of love goes round and round: "I wonder where all these unlucky souls like us came from."
The waters of West Lake are my tears: "It's getting dark, the nightmare begins, welcome to the unlucky ones."
"A once-in-a-millennium event: With so many people disappearing all at once, the outside world must be in chaos."
Strawberry Gummy: "I think my parents must be very worried about me. I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to see them again in my lifetime."
Nongfu Spring: "What are you talking about? Where is this place? What kind of haunted dormitory is this?"
Ketchup: "You guys aren't the ones who disappeared from University A, are you? Where are we?"
Evil Hedgehog: "Who is it that snatched me from my home? I was still dreaming."
Contentment brings happiness: "Once you're here, accept reality as soon as possible. Every day here you'll face life-or-death challenges. You must do your best to guard the dormitory door, or you'll be eaten by monsters."
Lone Warrior: "We are from University A, you know? We originally had 1,200 people, but now there are only 500 left."
Furry Slippers: "So, is this some kind of survival game?"
Donut: "You can understand it this way."
Mao Mao: "No way! I was just reading on the news that an entire student body from University A had vanished into thin air. I never thought I'd end up here myself."
Gui Gui, who was spying on their chat, interrupted them with a laugh.
[Ding-dong~ Alright everyone, now we'll announce today's game rules.]
First, for experienced players, you need to enter the trial grounds today. After clearing it, you will not only receive rewards, but also be protected from monster attacks on your dormitory for the rest of the day.
New players, get a taste of the cuteness of the newbies first, hehehe~.
You have one minute to prepare. The countdown begins.
Xu Siyao hadn't even washed up yet, but she cast a cleansing spell and ate something in a minute.
As the countdown ended, a white light shone from the door of the room.
She opened the door and went out, and what she saw was no longer a dimly lit corridor, but a straight passage enveloped in white light.
Walking along the passage, you'll find yourself in a completely different place in the blink of an eye.
