All my teammates online are my girlfriends

It seems like I'm not incapable?

Before she could fully comprehend what was happening, a strange, frantic running sound suddenly came from afar. It was incredibly fast, and the noise wasn't limited to the corridor; it even came from the ceiling.

Even without using any lighting skills, Ying Ziyan could still vaguely see a dense array of figures rapidly chasing after her from a distance along the path. Their twisted and bizarre shapes terrified Ying Ziyan, causing her heart to stop beating instantly.

"Oh dear—"

A piercing scream echoed through the corridor once more...

"If I'm not mistaken before coming here, this is a maze, right? And a really deep one at that?"

"Ok!"

"What exactly happened to Ziyan and Maosanzhi? Why can I hear their screams even when I'm standing at the entrance?"

"It's obviously a ghost encounter. Putting everything else aside, the monsters in this game, like ghosts and demons, are designed to be terrifying."

"Could you please not stand so far away? I can't hear what you're saying very well."

"I can type!"

Looking at Ze Zhi and Qi Xi, who were standing a full ten meters away, Lin Qiu's expression became somewhat subtle.

If you're so scared, why did you come along?!

Aren't you going down?

"I'd rather die than give up!" ×2

The answer was so resolute, without the slightest hint of wavering.

Seeing that the two were clearly deserters, Lin Qiu didn't react yet, but Chen Xiao curled his lip in disdain.

"It's just a dark maze, what's there to be afraid of? Don't you think so, Sakikuma?"

"..."

I was trying to run away, but Old Chen, isn't it a bit unfair of you to suddenly drag me into this?

Saki looked at Chen Xiao with a hint of resentment. Now that things had come to this, was it too late for her to say she didn't want to continue?

Aren't you all afraid?

While Saki remained silent, Yunmo, standing beside her, asked a question first, sounding wary.

When exploring the map before, Lin Qiu and I were almost strangled to death by Ying Ziyan and Ze Zhi. We don’t want to repeat the same mistake this time!

"What's there to be afraid of, right, Sakikuma?"

Stop bringing me up all the time! Are you never going to stop?!

Saki glared at Chen Xiao in frustration. "Fine, I'll go down!"

"If anything happens later, don't shout or scream."

"Don't worry, there will be no problem."

Chen Xiao waved his hand calmly, as if he didn't care at all.

Her calmness only made Sakigami more uneasy. Usually, when Old Chen was this confident, something would happen to her!

"Then let's go down. We'll split into two groups. Old Chen, you and Saki will search for Cat Sanzhi, and Yunmo and I will search for Ying Ziyan. Judging from the screams we heard earlier, the two of them should have separated."

"it is good!"

Lin Qiu didn't delay and led the three directly into the entrance of the underground maze.

Unlike the deeper levels where Ying Ziyan and Mao Sanzhi were, the upper levels of the maze appeared normal and brightly lit.

Moreover, after the two of them had scavenged for a while, the monsters on the upper floors had been almost completely cleared out and had not yet respawned, which saved Lin Qiu and the others from having to put in any more effort.

As for the cat below, it was so scared that it was shaking violently.

Even so, she did not stop walking at all, her face was deathly pale.

Behind her, just like Ying Ziyan, a dense swarm of faceless ghosts swept in, emitting an unidentified roar.

"Sister Ziyan, Sister Ziyan! Sister Ziyan, where are you?! Ahhh!!!"

Although she did put up a fight, her small counterattack that killed a Faceless Demon caused a huge uproar, attracting a large crowd.

The more they fight, the more there are!

Who the hell designed this?!

She had been running for almost five minutes now, but she hadn't seen a trace of Ying Ziyan along the way, and the monsters were only increasing in number.

As for Ying Ziyan's side...

She's almost lost her mind.

The greatsword, wreathed in flames, was swung wildly at such speed that it created afterimages. Even the dimly lit corridor became brightly lit under the flames.

The large number of faceless demons that surrounded them were easily torn apart by the greatsword.

However, the number of faceless ghosts seemed endless, one after another sending heads toward Ying Ziyan.

The resounding roar echoed wildly in her ears, constantly stimulating Ying Ziyan's fragile nerves.

If I had known that going back to the game would be so exciting, I would have preferred to go back to the cinema and have a few more rounds with Lin Qiu.

It's better to be so weak in the legs that I can't get up than to be scared to death right now!

"Sister Ziyan!!"

Just then, the meows of Nekosanzhi drifted over quite clearly.

Ying Ziyan, whose rationality was already on the verge of collapse, shuddered in fright. Her first instinct was to mistake the opponent for a disguised Faceless Demon, and she swung her greatsword without hesitation...

323 - If I hadn't wanted to rob it, otherwise...

"Bang!!"

With a sharp, yet slightly ferocious, thud, a petite figure was sent flying backward like a cannonball.

After sliding along the ground for dozens of meters with its face close to the ground, it finally managed to stop.

The numerous faceless ghosts who were chasing her stopped in their tracks upon seeing this scene. After a moment of silence, they decisively bypassed the area and continued their pursuit of Ying Ziyan.

This one is probably beyond saving!

Completely unaware that she had accidentally injured an ally, Ying Ziyan, in the throes of her sanity, glanced at her greatsword with some confusion.

Did I accidentally hit the faceless demon's true form?

However, the onslaught of the faceless demon army that followed gave her no time to think, and she swung her greatsword even faster.

As long as you swing your sword fast enough, no ghost or monster can get close to you!

At that moment, Ying Ziyan felt her attack speed had broken through its limit...

Meanwhile, Lin Qiu and the others, who were rushing downstairs, finally found themselves at a crossroads.

"Which way?"

Looking at the two completely different forks in the road, Qin Yunmo looked at Lin Qiu expectantly.

Lin Qiu always makes the right choices. Following him will definitely save you most of the trouble, and you can also spend some time together. It's also a good opportunity to trip up Chen Xiao, your rival in love.

Killing two birds with one stone!

"Let Lao Chen and the others choose first; it seems like they're all pretty much the same no matter where they go."

Lin Qiu wasn't too nervous, since if Mao Sanzhi and Ying Ziyan were really scared to death, they should be able to be resurrected and teleported to a nearby area.

If you're really unlucky, the respawn point will still be in this maze...

That's fate!

"Saki, what do you think?"

"..."

Can I say that I just came here to be a slacker?

Sakuma's lips twitched, her face full of resentment. She was most afraid of making choices.

"How about... the left side?"

"Then the left one!"

"Wait! Let's go with the right side. Men on the left, women on the right—there must be a reason for that!"

"also."

"No, no, let's go to the left. We can't let our habitual thinking hold us back!"

"..."

Looking at Saki's conflicted expression, Qin Yunmo felt as if he were seeing himself when he first drew cards.

The same sense of helplessness, the same inner turmoil and frustration, and the ending was exactly as expected...

Luckily, I had a cheat code!

In the end, Sakuma resigned herself to choosing the right side. Her intuition told her that, just like in an exam, the first answer she came up with was often wrong!

"It's game time now, you'd better not do anything unrelated to the game."

As they split up to act, Chen Xiao didn't forget to issue a warning.

Yunmo has been acting more and more recklessly lately. If it weren't for taking care of Saki, she wouldn't be able to walk with Lin Qiu.

However, Yunmo glanced at her indifferently upon hearing this, and then provocatively took Lin Qiu's arm.

"Snapped!"

Chen Xiao's forehead immediately creased with a "well" shape. Damn it, this is too much!

"Aren't you going to let go...?"

"Let's go, Lao Chen. Saving lives is the priority, don't dawdle."

Without giving Chen Xiao a chance to lash out, Sakikuma lifted her up like a cat and headed down the path of no return she had chosen.

Yunmo watched the two figures gradually disappear into the distance before letting out a satisfied snort.

You still want to compete with yourself? The queue is long enough to kill you!

Lin Qiu looked at the class monitor, whose competitive spirit was growing stronger every day, with a bit of helplessness, but didn't say anything, letting her put her arm around him and walk towards another passage.

"There shouldn't be any problems with this passage, right?"

Along the way, Qin Yunmo couldn't help but ask again with concern.

After all, it's been a while since I've tried to get any good luck from Lin Qiu, and I wonder if that guy's incredible luck has worn off.

If it fails, I feel like this could be a huge problem!

"It should be fine, after all, Mao Sanzhi and Ziyan have already cleared quite a few levels, and it will take a while for the monsters on the higher levels to respawn."

Lin Qiu, being quite carefree, didn't seem to notice anything amiss. After all, if there were any problems, they would have encountered an ambush as soon as they entered the maze.

Nothing has happened so far, so things should remain peaceful for a while longer.

Qin Yunmo nodded thoughtfully, but then a scream suddenly burst out from the other side, making Yunmo's eyelids twitch involuntarily.

Was there any sound just now?

"......No!"

Lin Qiu winced, feeling a bit of a toothache. Who would have thought that the slap in the face would come so quickly?

Meanwhile, Saki jumped onto Chen Xiao in utter terror, his arm gripping her so tightly she almost passed out.

"Saki, Saki! Let go! It's just a few skeletons, not some kind of ghost."

"They moved! I just saw them move!"

Sakuma was so frightened that her face turned pale. Although she was somewhat prepared, who could have imagined that it would suddenly move like that!

It's one thing to move, but to just turn your head is terrifying!

"It's just a testing agency."

Chen Xiao explained somewhat helplessly, "I've never seen you this scared when you watch horror movies before."
