Chapter 33: Return (2)

In the outskirts of the city.

On a deserted road at night, there is a small, old house with dusty tiles sticking to the roof.

Not far from the house is an abandoned factory.

Most of the rusty iron fence has been overgrown with weeds.

On both sides of the house, there are two large ancient trees with their trunks wrapped in two layers of tattered cloth to protect them from the cold wind.

Inside the house.

A glaring light bulb hangs from the ceiling, and in front of it is a large conference table with several young men and women sitting on both sides, staring intently at the yellow wooden box in front of them.

The cool wind blowing in from the window makes them tighten their clothes.

A beautiful woman sits at the head of the conference table, looking less tense than the others. She closes her eyes and leans back on the chair, dozing off.

After a long while, there is movement in the yellow wooden box.

The gaze of a few people becomes more focused as they stare at the box.

"They are coming back."

A middle-aged man in the distance is talking to himself, with a hint of joy on his lips.

"Yes, there should be no problem this time."

"I wonder how many people have been saved..."

Some people on the side add, as they really don't fully understand the actual situation inside and can only make preliminary judgments through this box.

"There should be no problem. Although they don't have much experience, after all, this is just a street-level story. Besides, Chau Chi Bao carries the curse on him."

"It's best to rescue all the people inside and get out."

The man spoke, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, clearly not worrying about this, seemingly very confident.

"That's right..."

A slightly overweight woman beside him said, looking at the increasingly trembling yellow wooden box, so she naturally knew that they were about to come out.

The experiences of Chau Chi Bao and Quynh Nhu, although not considered newcomers.

But this is the first time they have entered directly without anyone else's protection. For them, it is very dangerous even though it is a street-level story.

Therefore, before entering, they gave Chau Chi Bao a well-rated cursed object to guard against any accidents.

The yellow wooden box is a tool used to actively enter another world. Through the reaction of the box, they can roughly judge the general situation of those who enter.

Seeing everyone relieved, the lazy woman on the chair slowly opened her eyes, glanced at the box, and lazily said, "Don't be so sure, the street-level story with twenty people will not be that simple..."

"Do you mean something might happen to them?"

The man next to her turned around, looked at her, and asked.

"What I mean is, we may not be able to save all of them. Even saving five people is already quite remarkable."

The woman said.

After speaking, she yawned and looked down at the watch on her fair wrist. It was already late, and according to the time ratio, they had entered for about an hour.

Others did not answer, just silently observing the box.

After the lazy woman spoke, the yellow wooden box suddenly shook violently, then there was no movement.

After that, a familiar voice sounded in everyone's ears, "Sorry for making everyone worried, we're back."

Everyone turned around to look. Chau Chi Bao still had a smile on his face, and Quynh Nhu remained calm, standing at the door.

Behind them were three people who looked dazed and had not reacted in time.

"Ha ha ha, I just said there would be no problem!"

"Rest, we'll have a meal later, and then we'll take a hot bath and go home to sleep!"

"See, I told you it would be fine!"

Chau Chi Bao returned, and the initial anxiety of everyone was relieved. They all happily welcomed their arrival.

Chau Chi Bao nodded.

He said to the man closest to him, "Then we have to thank Professor Vi the most for giving us the cursed object."

"You don't need to thank me, it's something that should be done." Professor Vi responded.

He stood up, patted Chau Chi Bao on the shoulder, and then looked at the three people behind him through his shoulders.

"Are these three the victims?"

Professor Vi continued to ask.

After the Nguyen Thoai three arrived here, they were stunned and didn't know how to react when they saw so many people staring at them.

Hearing the question from Professor Vi.

Quynh Nhu nodded and affirmed.

"Rescued three of them, and the rest might be somewhere else."

"How did it happen?"

The lazy woman sitting on the chair asked.

For this kind of matter of rescuing people in this horror world, it is a taboo for everyone to disperse. After all, if someone is not careful, others may fall into the trap of the supernatural.

Hearing the woman's question.

Chau Chi Bao recalled what had happened at Tran Hung Dao High School.

He thought for a while,

According to what Nguyen Thoai had told him before, combined with what was inside, he roughly recounted what had happened.

It includes what they did in it.

After listening to Chau Chi Bao's account.

The woman felt a bit puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Hoang Tuan? The strange guy who led the other three away?"

"Yes, the time for the test was about to end. We originally thought that we couldn't finish the questions and could only use the cursed object to resist, so we went to find Hoang Tuan's group."

Chau Chi Bao patiently answered the woman's question and told her what had happened to their group.

"However, we searched the school for a long time and couldn't find them. At that time, we had to use the cursed object to return to this place first."

After hearing this, everyone thought for a while. Professor Vi frowned and asked, "Could something have happened to them, so we couldn't find them?"

Quynh Nhu shook her head and replied, "We found another cursed object inside. We can use that to see how many people are still alive. There are probably four people left, who may have escaped to somewhere else."

Survived and escaped?

The woman sitting on the chair stood up.

She walked slowly to the front of the Nguyen Thoai three, her beautiful eyes kept staring at them.

"It is possible to lead people without any training and it is the second time to enter the world..."

She gently stroked her chin, thinking about something.

After a while.

She turned to look at everyone.

"In the next few days, find a man named Hoang Tuan for me, and help me find his address..."
