Chapter 767 - Partners in Crime (1/2)

Wang Xiaoming was acting very strangely. Both of his eyes were bloodshot like a gambler who had nothing else to lose. This was completely different from how he had been when they had been at the male dormitory.

“We should head to the maintenance room first. After getting the tools I need, I’ll come back to the canteen with you.” Chen Ge knew that the change in Wang Xiaoming had occurred after they had been spotted by the dormitory manager. It felt like since his plan had been exposed, he was not going to keep up the façade.

Carrying his bag, Chen Ge gripped the nails in one hand while patting Wang Xiaoming’s shoulder with another. “You are my only friend, trust me.”

Wang Xiaoming’s body temperature came through his palm. Chen Ge’s deskmate was a strange fella, but he was really not much different from a normal person. Compared to a ghost, he was more like a problem child with a mental issue. Facing this kind of child, one should not deny their request; instead, one should give them more love and care.

“But… I am really hungry now.” A crunching and chewing noise came from Wang Xiaoming’s mouth. His lips were dyed red from the blood that leaked out. Is he munching on his own teeth?

Chen Ge had met someone similar in Li Wan City—the female boss who was trapped behind the hotel’s fridge. The woman had suffered from an eating disorder. She was in a constant state of hunger and would consume everything within her mouth including her teeth and tongue. Only through constant chewing and consuming could the psychological hunger be appeased.

“Brother, if you really are that hungry, why don’t we split up now? You can go to the canteen, and I’ll head on over to the maintenance room.” Through the few minutes’ worth of experience inside the bedroom, Chen Ge understood how dangerous this scenario was. There was danger at every step, and he would be dead if he let his guard down.

Under those circumstances, he would definitely not follow Wang Xiaoming to a strange place. Chen Ge stated his intention—they were going to separate peacefully.

As long as you don’t come after me, then I won’t harm you.

Based on Chen Ge’s own prediction, Wang Xiaoming would leave on his own and would not attack Chen Ge so soon.

The two stood in the darkness. The cold wind that came from who knew where crawled into their collars. With a strange expression, Wang Xiaoming lowered his head to think, and he slowly awakened to his old self.

He made a choice that confused Chen Ge. “Oh well, I guess I will stay with you. After we get the tools, we’ll come back to the canteen.”

Wang Xiaoming rubbed his taut muscles on his face like what had happened earlier was just an illusion.

“You’re such a good friend.” Chen Ge hugged Wang Xiaoming’s shoulders. One of them silently raised his hand to wipe away the blood on the lips while the other quietly put away the nail in his hand.

“This way.” The two nursed each of their plots. Wang Xiaoming led the way, and Chen Ge followed behind him. His brain never stopped moving. Every person at that school was very strange. It seemed like their goal was not to simply kill Chen Ge; they each had their own agendas.

What are they trying to do?

Chen Ge felt like an invisible net was expanding around him, and each of the knots represented a character at the school. Leaving the squat building, Wang Xiaoming led Chen Ge in another direction.
