Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 777: Ji Mu in Trouble

In the virtual training facility, Ji Mu still lay in the training capsule, but the various indices of his body were rapidly declining!

A pair of transparent wings hung at his side, having lost their usual luster.

His life force was ebbing away.

In the virtual training facility, if a student faced a life-threatening danger, they would be immediately bounced out.

Aside from their spiritual power being shaken, students bounced out would face no risk to their lives and would recover after a few days’ rest.

After all, their bodies were quite robust, especially those of the students from the military academy.

However, at this moment, the program for Ji Mu’s training capsule had been tampered with, "locked", making it impossible to exit forcefully.

Inside the virtual training facility, covered in blood, Ji Mu glared at the few people in front of him, "You pretentious plants, I always said none of you were any good! Do you think that by killing me, you’ll be able to easily fool Gu Yan? Naive! Bai Li will be back soon, and once he returns, you’re all dead!"

"No matter how excellent Bai Li is, he’s just an Insectoid, and it’s impossible for him to oppose the entire Plantman Star," they responded.

"Hahaha, how foolish! Do you really think Bai Li is just Bai Li?" Ji Mu, looking at the Plantmen led by Jiang Huai, burst into manic laughter.

As he laughed, he spat out several more mouthfuls of blood.

If he couldn’t log out of the virtual capsule in time, he might die here from blood loss, and then his real body would perish as well.

But it didn’t matter.

Lord Insect God would surely avenge him!

Jiang Huai raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

"Humph! Want to know? I just won’t tell you!"

"Forget it, it’s not important. Whoever it is, they won’t get back in time. Gu Yan will have already agreed to be my girlfriend by then." Jiang Huai had already confessed his feelings to Gu Yan today, and she said she would give him an answer tomorrow.

Before then, concerned about Ji Mu causing trouble, Jiang Huai decided to eliminate this bothersome butterfly!

As long as Gu Yan agreed to be his girlfriend before Gu Chen’s return, as family, Gu Chen wouldn’t interfere.

As for that Insect God...

Suddenly, Jiang Huai remembered his father’s warning; he also didn’t quite understand why the Insect God cared so much about Gu Yan.

Just then, Ji Mu, who had been lying on the ground vomiting blood, suddenly vanished!

Someone beside him was taken aback, "Did he die, or did he log out of the training system?"

"Let’s go check it out!"

Jiang Huai had left someone on guard outside, but at this moment, the Plantman he left behind lay on the ground, barely alive, with scorched hair and the air filled with the scent of something burnt.

And the training capsule that had trapped Ji Mu was now open and empty.

Jiang Huai’s face darkened, "Hurry up and chase after him!"

They had thought they’d taken every precaution, seizing the opportunity when Ji Mu was alone and, just to be safe, they took action inside the virtual practice arena.

As long as they erased the training traces afterward, the scene would appear to be an accident, and no one would be able to trace it back to them.

But the crucial question was, who had rescued Ji Mu?

The one who had rescued Ji Mu was none other than Gu Yu.

Carrying Ji Mu on his back towards the medical room of the school, he simultaneously contacted his mother Su Wan with his brain-computer, "Mom, Ji Mu had an accident in the virtual training facility, the cause is unclear, his spiritual power is severely damaged, and he’s currently in a critical condition. I need to administer first aid fast!"

"Okay, give him first aid first. I’m on my way out the door!"

Su Wan’s heart raced. She had a premonition that Ji Mu’s sudden accident might not be an accident at all!

Su Wan immediately changed out of her pajamas and headed out, only to see Gu Yan rubbing her eyes.

"Mom, what’s happening so late at night?"

"Xiaoyan, Ji Mu has had an accident."

"What?! Where is he now?"

"He’s in the school’s infirmary, Xiaoyu is performing emergency treatment on him."

Gu Yan was very worried, so she insisted on leaving the house with her mother. To save time, the mother and daughter teleported directly.

However, when they appeared at the school entrance, Gu Yan suddenly hesitated.

Su Wan looked back at her, "Xiaoyan, what’s wrong?"

"Mom, I feel a bit strange. Logically, I’m worried about Ji Mu, but I got to know him through Bai Li, yet now my memories of Bai Li are fuzzy, and I don’t remember them well. I don’t even feel like contacting him anymore..."

"I’ve also felt that you’ve been acting strangely. Don’t think too much about it now; let’s go see how Ji Mu is."

"Okay, got it!"

At this time, Gu Yu had carried the person to the infirmary, where he happened to run into Lan Yu, who was passing by.

Lan Yu said in surprise, "What’s wrong with this little butterfly?"

"I’m not sure; Uncle Lan Yu, please help save him first, I’ll head to the entrance."

"What are you going to the entrance for?"

Remembering the student he had scorched for a while, Gu Yu said with narrowed eyes, "I’m going to intercept someone."

Sure enough, as soon as he reached the entrance, he saw several people coming toward him, led by a concerned-looking Jiang Huai.

"Gu Yu! How is Ji Mu? We were battling together, and he suddenly fainted, scaring us to death!"

"You were battling just now?"

"Yes," Jiang Huai nodded, "But something seemed wrong with his training pod. We were worried, so we all logged off to check on him."

Following Jiang Huai were several students, among them Beastmen, Plantmen, and even Insectoids.

It looked as if they had indeed been in the middle of a battle.

Gu Yu looked at Jiang Huai’s concerned expression but did not step aside.

"The teachers and the doctor are inside, trying to save him. You all just wait here."

Jiang Huai’s gaze faltered for a moment. He probed, "We’re just too worried about Ji Mu; we want to know how he is."

"He’s still unconscious; we’re not sure about the specifics. We’re waiting for the teachers’ verdict. If things don’t work out, I think he should be taken to the medical center."

The Empire University’s infirmary was well-equipped, and as resuscitation required time, everyone was there, trying to save Ji Mu against the clock.

Jiang Huai nodded, then leaned in closer to Gu Yu, a faint scent of wood wafting over.

"Gu Yu, were you the one who brought Ji Mu out of the training pod?"

"Yes, what about it?"

"Here’s the thing, just now one of our classmates was very worried about Ji Mu, rushed over, but was attacked by you. Could there have been some misunderstanding?"

The words were deep, carrying a seductive undertone.

Jiang Huai couldn’t possibly attack Gu Yu directly, so his only option was to manipulate him, making him think that the recent incident was a misunderstanding.

If Ji Mu were to die, then tonight’s incident would be deemed successful.

Gu Yu frowned, recalling when he went to open Ji Mu’s training pod and then that Plantman leaped out... He attacked him instinctively, but in fact, was the other person also trying to save Ji Mu?

Gu Yu said, "He’s not hurt, is he? I was just too anxious and used my superpower."

Jiang Huai relaxed, "No, he’s fine, he’s already woken up. I told him you definitely didn’t do it on purpose."

Now, all they had to do was wait for the teachers to come out and announce that Ji Mu was dead. That would be enough!
