Chapter 1079: Chapter 506: Graveyard of the Deceased – Frame 0 Opening

Facing Wei Liang’s flimsy excuse, Chen Bing’s cheeks twitched slightly, and then she coldly said, “Can’t tell if you’re a human or a ghost, fine, but can’t even distinguish between male and female?”

Wei Liang pursed his lips speechlessly, “If you’ve got something to say, just spit it out.”

Chen Bing was a bit stumped by Wei Liang’s rare cold attitude. Wasn’t he supposed to be a lecher?

Why so cold?

Could it be that her sister’s info was wrong?

Chen Bing hesitated for a moment, then slowly started, “Using an alias, aren’t you afraid your identity anchor will fail?”

Wei Liang was taken aback, “What alias?”

“‘William’, isn’t that an alias?” Chen Bing asked.

Wei Liang was dumbfounded again, “Huh?”

Chen Bing frowned, “Playing dumb now? Didn’t you say so when my sister was here earlier?”

“Ah…?” Wei Liang was puzzled, and argued, “What ‘William’, that’s completely fabricated, I clearly said my name is Wei Liang, maybe your sister misheard my accent?”

As he spoke, he repeated “Wei Liang~ Wei Liang~ Wei Liang~” a few times, with a magical nasal twang reminiscent of grilled lamb skewers from Alati, indeed sounding a bit like ‘William’.

Chen Bing startled, suddenly feeling a bit intellectually insulted, but also wondered if her sister actually misunderstood.

It seemed like he really did say “Wei Liang,” just with a heavy accent.

“Fine, let’s accept that explanation. What about ‘Xiao Zi’ then?” Chen Bing questioned.

“Hey—are you kidding me!” Wei Liang unhappily banged on the table, “Are you here to interrogate me? If you want to know, you need to pay up, your sister at least…”

“84, 61, 90.” Chen Bing coldly spat out three numbers.

Wei Liang instantaneously pulled a Tom the Cat face-change, “See, now we can negotiate?”

“Xiao Zi is a name, don’t tell me you never heard me call him Old Lin? His surname is Lin, and his full name is Lin Xiaozhi, so what’s wrong with me calling him Old Lin?”

Chen Bing’s icy demeanor suddenly faltered, darn, she hadn’t thought of that… it was the name said separately!

Too hasty!

Wei Liang glanced at Chen Bing indifferently, “I generally like making friends honestly. Since you’ve already provided your measurements, I don’t mind exchanging some information with you. Anything you want to know, I’ll tell everything…”

Chen Bing was overjoyed, maintaining a cold exterior, but her heart was already pounding with excitement.

A moment later, she returned to Lu Zhao and the others with a peculiar expression…

Lu Zhao watched Chen Bing return, filled with anticipation, “How did it go?”

When Chen Bing went to talk to Wei Liang, he observed the whole process himself, witnessing her and Wei Liang go from ice-breaking to light conversation, and then chatting for a long time—it seemed she must have gathered quite a bit of information.

However, Chen Bing glanced at her sister, then said, “William is indeed not his real name. His name is ‘Wei Liang’, and my sister misheard…”

“I didn’t mishear! I’m sure he definitely said ‘William’, with an authentic British accent, it’s either 0 or 1!” Chen Xue gritted her teeth and muttered.

But Lu Zhao ignored Chen Xue’s rebuttal, continuing with the topic instead, “Then what about Xiao Zi?”

“Xiao Zi is his name, and that Laolin is his surname… his surname is Lin, so that Wei Liang calls him Lin Xiaozhi.” Despite sounding absurd, Chen Bing still said it.

Lu Zhao, however, nodded seriously this time, “And then?”

“And then?” Chen Bing paused, “Then what?”

Lu Zhao said, “You guys talked for so long, didn’t you get any information?”

Chen Bing gritted her teeth, “I just asked him about his background, and he started babbling about marriage… asking for my birthdate, family registration, and dowry amount… no proper form, if I kept talking, you’d be preparing to give me and my sister wedding gifts.”

“He’s… that talkative?” Lu Zhao’s expression changed slightly, “Not even a bit of useful information? Nothing life-or-death important?”

Chen Bing shook her head, “No, he called himself something like Fortune Life Wei Liang the Celestial, and casually remarked that the four of us are shrouded in dark energy, especially my sister, with great ominous signs on her…”

Chen Xue slammed the table, stood up, “I’m going to take down that perv!”

Lu Zhao quickly pulled her back, “In a way, he’s not wrong, anything else like that?”

Chen Bing said, “Words like that… quite mysterious, but the gist is that anyone who stays overnight in the classroom tonight won’t survive. Soon, he’s going to break the rules and head back to the dormitory. If we don’t leave, it’s certain death…”

“Ridiculous!” Jin Jiuyao protested, “Not following the rules is what’s certain death! No way are we leaving the classroom because of him?”

However, Lu Zhao fell silent, seemingly genuinely contemplating this issue.

Jin Jiuyao, seeing this, grew urgent, “No way, Old Lu, are you seriously considering listening to him? We’re surrounded by nocturnal species outside, it’s all that stuff out there!”

He pointed to the pseudo-human students curled up in their seats inside the classroom, resembling human-shaped tombstones.

Lu Zhao pondered, “The number of Experience Students in the classroom… too few, just from our class alone, it’s not enough to maintain the so-called ‘safety anchor’. We might need to go negotiate with the homeroom teacher…”

Jin Jiuyao interrupted, “No way, just from a few words, are you swayed enough to self-destruct?”

“Old Lu, not to be rude, but where’s your decisiveness from before? What about your own judgment?”

Lu Zhao looked at Jin Jiuyao seriously, with deep eyes, “Isn’t it possible… that I was thinking the same thing all along.”
