Chapter 902: Chapter 902: The Stolen GuideThe people still alive in W18 gave off a sense that wasn’t benignant, like stagnant water, everyone seemed to be living numbly, simply not dead.
"Absolute hopelessness looks like this, huh? Quite miserable," Shangguan Xi muttered softly.
His words earned them a rather unfriendly glance from the young man, who sternly led them to the dormitory building’s seventh floor and knocked on one of the doors, "Teacher Ai, I’ve brought back two guests."
After knocking a few times without response, the young man’s face changed and he quickly moved the potted plant in front of the window, reached in to open the latch, and then climbed inside.
A few seconds later, the young man came running out the door, "Teacher Ai has been kidnapped!"
Xu Huo tilted his head and peered into the room, a very typical living scene, only the chair in front of the desk was somewhat special.

"Besides, the marks left by your Teacher Ai were definitely not meant for you to come rescue him. You’re no match for a player with that small frame of yours; he just wanted to tell you which way he went. Going forward is just delivering yourself to them—it’s better to guide us properly."
The young man, with eyes as dead as a fish, looked at him, "Others are players and you are too, why do you talk so much?"
