In the dark environment, as Huanxiao and the others moved, their location became farther and farther away from the ground.

Standing on the steps, you can smell the unpleasant stench in the air.

The girl in school uniform only complained a few words and then continued to climb up. Because her nose was so close to the stairs, she could always smell the pungent smell on the stairs.

After smelling it for a long time, she actually felt that the smell was not unacceptable...

Perhaps after half an hour of walking together, she gradually opened her heart to Huanxiao and started chatting about trivial matters.

"Xiaohuan, what were you doing before entering the game?"

"Going shopping with my classmates." Huan Xiao replied.

Looking at the road ahead, she suddenly discovered that this staircase actually had a long section.

As long as they walk up one more circle, they can reach the disconnected position.

"That's good. I celebrated my birthday at home and was transported into the game without even blowing out the cake."

The regretful voice of the girl in school uniform sounded in the dark night. This is why she is so obsessed with birthdays.

Huan Xiao looked around and found that there was no expression of regret on the face of the girl in school uniform, only caution.

"Ah... I seem to have said something wrong just now. It's not a cake, but a candle. I was blowing out the candles before entering the game to celebrate my twenty-first birthday."

"It's rare for my parents to show up on my birthday. Unfortunately, I can't even have a normal birthday. Apparently five days before my birthday, I had already completed a game... Who knew it would happen this time? It came so quickly, I was caught off guard..."

"Wait, twenty-one?" Huan Xiao was surprised.

The girl in school uniform knew that Huanxiao couldn't see it, but she still nodded subconsciously: "That's right, don't I look the same?"

"May I ask, are you currently in college?" Huanxiao asked again.

The girl in school uniform was puzzled: "Of course, even though I'm not very smart, it's still easy to get into college!"

She didn't understand why Huanxiao asked.

"At the beginning of the game, you were wearing your school uniform?"

There are no students in the university wearing school uniforms anymore. Why do the girls in school uniforms wear an old-looking uniform at the beginning?

Moreover, it looks like a middle school uniform.

"...No, that dress was in the closet, the guest closet provided in the manor room. At that time, I felt that the school uniform was more lightweight, so I wore it. My clothes were given to me by Honghua as early as the first day. It was scratched, and I still have scars from that day on my hands.”

As the girl in school uniform spoke, she rolled up her left sleeve, revealing a hideous and terrifying scar.

The wound looks like it has scabbed over for many days, but you can still see how much flesh and blood it once was.

But then she remembered that Huanxiao couldn't see, so she silently put down her sleeves.

Huan Xiao lowered his head and thought: "This is strange. I don't think there is a school in the town. Where did that school uniform come from?"

The girl in school uniform continued to climb up, "No matter where it comes from, it might be the clothes of other players. Aren't the servants here taking the clothes we changed out to wash? Let them dry for a few days and then take them back. The owner of the clothes will already be there." After they died or left, they wouldn't just throw away the clothes, they would definitely stuff them into the closet and use them as a change of clothes in the guest room."

"That makes sense!" Huanxiao nodded and no longer struggled with the matter.

While the two of them were chatting, the girl in school uniform had reached the end of the stairs.

Realizing that there was no way ahead, the girl in school uniform took out her cell phone to check.

By the light of the screen, she also discovered that the stairs were disconnected in the middle.

"It's over, there's no road here."

Huan Xiao saw the solemn look on the school uniform girl's face, so she pointed to the gap of the stairs two meters apart and asked:

"Should we jump over there? As long as we get there, we can continue going up."

The girl in school uniform didn't say anything, but looked down with her mobile phone.

In the empty darkness, wherever the light of the screen touches, there is nothingness.

It's like an abyss, making people's legs weak just by looking at it.

"so tall……"

If you fall from here, you will definitely die like a piece of mud.

Huan Xiao squatted down and sat on the stairs, "The distance looks like two meters. I can't even jump two meters in the standing long jump."

If you jump during a run-up, your feet may slip and you may fall.

Moreover, this staircase is suspended and built very narrowly. People have to worry that if they jump to the stairs on the other side, the stairs on that side will collapse because they cannot bear the load.

At least, the girls in school uniforms are worried about the above issues.

"What should I do now? Do you want to jump over?"

The girl in school uniform bit her lower lip unconsciously. The smell of rust entered her mouth, and she realized that her mouth was bleeding.

Huan Xiao patted her shoulder: "Don't be so nervous. There are no ghosts chasing us behind. There is plenty of time, so we can think about it slowly."

As she spoke, she took out an apple from her pocket, wiped it with a tissue a few times, and started eating.

When the girl in school uniform heard this, she thought of the pile of bones under the stairs, and her heart trembled.

"Don't be so clumsy. If ghosts really come after us, you won't even be able to cry!"

"No way, what I said is not that effective."

Thanks to Huanxiao's comfort just now, the school uniform girl's tense spirit relaxed a little.

Only then did she find Huan Xiao chewing an apple, and couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get the apple?"

"Isn't there a lot on the dining table?" Huan Xiao replied.

"...But you, no, who brought the fruit out? Aren't they all eaten at the dining table?"

Huan Xiao shook the apple and said matter-of-factly:

"There's no rule against taking food with you on the road. I'm hungry."

"...That's right, forget it, this is not something we should worry about now. Xiaohuan, are you confident in jumping over?"

The girl in school uniform pressed the buttons on her phone nervously, and the screen of her phone went off and on.

Huanxiao nodded without thinking.

Seeing Huanxiao being so confident, the girl in school uniform didn't know what to say.

It turned out that she didn't dare to jump over. She thought Xiaohuan was as afraid of falling as she was.

How could I not be scared of such a high staircase? Why was Xiaohuan so calm?

She was a little unwilling and felt that she was weaker than others.

But she is indeed not as powerful as Xiao Huan. Xiao Huan can guess the first two gifts and get the ghost's appreciation. Unlike her, she failed more than a dozen times.

Now she couldn't even muster the courage to jump to the stairs on the other side.

The girl in school uniform lingered at the end of the stairs, silent for a long time.

In the darkness, her mobile phone screen lit up and dimmed, dimmed and lit again, but she didn't realize this. Her eyes were wandering, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

After a long time, the girl in school uniform suddenly asked:

"Are you confident that you can jump over in such a dark place? Are you not afraid of looking in the wrong direction, falling down the stairs, and becoming one of the many skeletons below?"

"Why do you ask?" Huanxiao turned to look at her.

Facing Huan Xiao's clear eyes, the girl in school uniform felt guilty for a moment.

She seemed to be deliberately trying to induce fear in Xiao Huan just now. She knew that the other party was confident now, so why would she suppress the other party?

Isn't this a matter of harming others and not benefiting oneself? She didn't understand what she was thinking at that moment.
