"Sorry, I just got carried away. Should I let you return it later?"

"That's what you said!"

Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Righteous Secret Photography

Next, Xu Ming witnessed a bizarre, disgusting, cruel, and brutal 'mutual snooker' match through the crack in the door.

For every point scored, you can hit the opponent with your baseball bat once.

In the end, it was basically just two mosaics fighting each other.

After the snooker game was over, the two 'people' seemed to have turned back time and returned to their original state.

Xu Ming witnessed the strange scene unfolding in the board game room from beginning to end.

He hesitated for a moment, then glanced around.

The corridor was quiet, but the arcade he passed was still noisy, and there was also a lot of noise coming from a room on the other side of the corridor near the stairs.

On the contrary, the rooms located in the middle of the floor, including the board game room, library, and lounge, were completely empty.

A determined look flashed across Xu Ming's face.

At this moment, the two vengeful spirits in the room began a new round of snooker fighting.

Xu Ming took the opportunity to push the door open slightly, then bent down and sneaked into the room...

Two vengeful spirits were happily fighting when they suddenly noticed a figure beside them.

"Hmm, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, a soft click of a camera shutter was heard.

Golden light and purple lightning instantly illuminated the entire room.

The bodies of the two strange vengeful spirits instantly cracked open and turned to ashes.

After doing all this, Xu Ming stood up straight and brushed the ashes off his body.

To prevent the vengeful spirit from screaming and attracting other vengeful spirits, he chose to sneak around and take photos secretly.

Caught completely off guard, the two vengeful spirits were instantly attacked.

However, Xu Ming did not feel that what he did was not honorable.

Just look at the rotting female corpse in the first-floor storage room and you'll know.

These guys are a bunch of disgusting scum.

Everything he did was just!

This is a righteous act of candid photography!

Xu Ming hid in the board game room, and after the spirit-capturing phone finished charging, he left the board game room and continued forward.

Although this search method is slow, it is reliable enough.

Xu Ming only has one life, so he is quite cautious.

The corridor was filled with the smells of rotting food, dust, mold... all sorts of disgusting odors.

Xu Ming covered his mouth and nose with one hand and gripped his phone tightly with the other, moving cautiously down the corridor.

Soon, he approached the room next to the stairs that was making a particularly loud noise.

The door to the room was ajar, and crisp knocking sounds could be heard from inside from time to time.

Xu Ming peeked through the crack in the door and a strange expression immediately appeared on his face.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, enveloping the room in a blood-red glow.

The scene seemed incredibly bizarre, however…

"Trying to catch the moon from the bottom of the sea! A peerless hero! Hahaha!"

"What 'unparalleled hero'?! You're clearly bluffing!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Get the knife!"

There are four vengeful spirits sitting at a mahjong table in the room!?

Well, after seeing vengeful spirits playing arcade games and snooker, it's not entirely unacceptable that a bunch of people are now playing mahjong.

From this perspective, it seems that using their fingers and flesh as stakes is a common practice.

Xu Ming carefully observed the scene in the room, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

There are a total of six vengeful spirits in the room.

Four people are playing mahjong at the table, while two are watching.

With their positions so close together, it's the perfect opportunity to unleash AOE skills!

Without saying a word, Xu Ming immediately picked up his phone and kicked open the door.

"Brothers, give me a smile!"

The six vengeful spirits turned their heads in unison, only to be met with a click! A soft click of the shutter, followed by a dazzling display of golden light and purple lightning.

The six vengeful spirits let out a scream in unison and vanished into thin air.

Xu Ming wasn't in a hurry to go upstairs, so he found a place to sit down and patiently waited for his phone to finish charging.

Just then, Xu Ming suddenly heard a slight noise coming from under the mahjong table.

Xu Ming's expression changed, and he shouted sharply:

"Who's down there! Come out!"

A timid figure emerged from under the mahjong table.

He was a short, chubby boy wearing a school uniform.

"who are you?"

Xu Ming squinted slightly as he looked him over, while simultaneously pointing his phone camera at him.

"No, don't kill me! I'm not with them! I was captured!"

The chubby-faced boy immediately raised his hands and screamed in terror.

Xu Ming did not tell him that the phone was charging and could not be used temporarily; the camera was still pointed at the chubby boy who had suddenly appeared.

"who are you?"

"Haruyuki Arita, Class 2-C, Umesato Junior High School!"

The chubby boy raised his hands high, looking terrified.

Upon hearing the name, Xu Ming's face flashed with shock, and he then carefully examined the chubby boy opposite him from head to toe.

Haruyuki Arita, the male protagonist of Accel World.

There was once a famous saying circulating online: "Better to be a pig that's been accelerated than to be alive, better to be a dog with scissors than to die."

The "accelerated pig" refers to Haruyuki Arita.

The reason Xu Ming didn't recognize the chubby boy at first glance was because Haruyuki Arita's face was covered in bruises and his head was almost swollen, making him unrecognizable.

Because he had been beaten into a real pig's head, Xu Ming didn't recognize him.

Even after recognizing him, Xu Ming still didn't put down his phone, but instead questioned him more cautiously and carefully.

"This place must be abandoned by now, so why would Arita-kun come here?"

As Xu Ming questioned her, he waved his spirit-capturing phone in front of Haruyuki Arita.

Haruyuki Arita was so frightened by the camera constantly moving in front of him that he dared not move.

He had personally witnessed this terrifying man in front of him holding this phone and turning six vengeful spirits to ashes in a single blow.

"Arakyu! Arakyu dragged me here! He said a week ago that he was coming here to find something, but I didn't want to come, and he threatened to beat me up..."

Haruyuki Arita said with a frustrated expression when Araya was mentioned.

"And then what? What happened to you? Why did you stay here? And why did you get involved with these vengeful spirits?"

Xu Ming pressed for more information.

Haruyuki Arita glanced subconsciously at the phone in Xu Ming's hand, and said hesitantly:

"That night he brought me and two other classmates here, and we ran into each other on the first floor shortly after we entered the office building..."

Haruyuki Arita's face suddenly showed an expression of extreme fear, and he paused for a long while before continuing.

"The four of us got separated. Huang Gu and I ran up to the second floor and encountered more vengeful spirits. Huang Gu pushed me and then jumped out of the window to escape..."

Then they caught me.

I thought I was going to be eaten, but they let me live... and then I met you.

After Haruyuki Arita finished speaking, she glanced at Xu Ming cautiously.

Although Haruyuki Arita didn't say some details aloud, Xu Ming could roughly guess what he was thinking from his current appearance.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Became a Big Shot

These malevolent spirits mostly treated him like a toy.

They are a bunch of despicable scum who will never repent even after they die.

However, Xu Ming did not completely trust the seemingly harmless chubby boy in front of him; he still had some questions that needed to be confirmed.

Seeing that ten minutes had passed, Xu Ming suddenly called out.

"Haruyuki Arita."

"Yes!"

Haruyuki Arita instinctively stood at attention.
