After Retiring From the Underworld, I Entered an Infinite Game

Chapter 194: Kindergarten for gifted children (VII)

Views:

It's not a teacher NPC, it's very powerful, very gentle... Who could it be? A security guard

But putting aside why the security guards had to enter the lounge building, just look at the few security guards at the kindergarten that Zhou Yian saw, some were old and some were disabled, would they be very powerful

When they found Liu Feiyao, she had fainted again. Zhou Yian could only assume that it was her brain's protection mechanism that caused her to have some kind of hallucination.

Four players gathered together and shared the clues they had discovered.

Zhou Yian came out of the first lounge and brought back the players one by one. He was everyone's savior, including Liu Feiyao. Although she didn't know who really saved her, if it wasn't for Zhou Yian, she would still be unconscious in the locker. If another ghost kid came to eat her, it would be unknown whether she could survive.

Therefore, there is no doubt that Zhou Yian became the leader among the four.

He did not refuse and quickly analyzed the current situation.

It is known that after lunch every day, the children in kindergarten play hide-and-seek.

Everyone draws an identity, either a civilian or a ghost.

If it is a ghost, the ghost with the lowest score will be punished. No one knows what the punishment is yet, but it is unlikely to be easy.

This also forces the ghosts to capture civilians. If they capture civilians, they will at least get one point, so they will not be the ones with the lowest score.

If the lot of the common people is drawn—

Liu Feiyao told everyone what had happened to her. Everyone talked about it, and soon Liu Feiyao realized that she was the unlucky one among the players. She saw a ghost when she was a civilian.

The other two players were found by the "ghost" and became scapegoats. They then went to capture civilians, but when they were rummaging through the cabinets, they opened the cabinet doors and caught the real ghost.

Zhou Yian was luckier, he also encountered a ghost, but by accident he accidentally hugged the big boss's thigh.

Wait, it’s not the teacher NPC, but he’s very powerful... Could it be that player

Zhou Yian hesitated for a moment, but quickly changed his mind.

Not really. The man's performance was too cold. Zhou Yian clearly felt that the other party didn't like them very much. It wasn't hostile, but at least he seemed to dislike them a little.

It is unlikely that such a person would take the initiative to save Liu Feiyao, right

Over there, Liu Feiyao has already begun to summarize the patterns based on the current clues.

"So whenever we open the door of the closet, or when we open the door of the other lounge, the space behind the door will change. After the change, the ghost child will appear."

"That is to say, we should try not to open the door, and it is better to follow other NPCs. This will be safer."

But it is easier said than done.

The ghost team will grow larger and larger over time. For example, now, when the four of them are gathered together in the corner of the second lounge and talking, there are actually quite a few NPCs coming and going around them, looking for civilians.

One twenty-seven.

There were still thirty-three minutes until class started, and the surrounding NPCs had already turned the second lounge upside down.

All the civilians that could be found were brought out, and a large group of children rushed into the third lounge.

In this case, the probability of finding civilians and getting points without opening the cabinet yourself is very small.

Liu Feiyao turned around and looked at these NPCs, and soon made a new discovery.

"It seems that the NPC will not return to find the civilians in the first lounge?"

There are too many "ghosts" in front of us, about fifty or sixty in total, which account for nearly half of the number of child NPCs.

Most of the children went to the third lounge, and a small number of them continued to search in the second lounge. When they found that there were indeed no other civilians, they caught up with the main group and went to the third lounge.

No one opened the door of the first lounge and went back to see if there were any fish that had escaped.

Zhou Yian immediately reacted: "That means the first lounge is actually the safest!"

There aren't many civilian NPCs hiding in the first lounge, and with the five "ghosts" chosen by lottery, hiding on the top shelf of the bookcase like Zhou Yian would not be caught by the "ghosts".

The real ghost that appeared later was not too strong, and Zhou Yian could deal with it if he was given time to prepare.

"So tomorrow when we play hide-and-seek, we can all hide in the first lounge to avoid being caught by the 'ghost' and becoming a scapegoat. As for the real ghost," Zhou Yian nodded, "I think I can handle it."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"We were totally unprepared today, which is why we are in this situation. Tomorrow, when we are well prepared, I think hide-and-seek won't be too difficult for us. I just don't know what the punishment will be today..."

Zhou Yian was somewhat worried when he asked this question.

Regardless of whether he was worried or not, as time passed, at 1:50, the bell rang.

"Dear children, class will start in ten minutes. Please be ready for class and don't be late."

The kids who were originally crowded in the third lounge, clamoring to find civilians, sighed that the game was over, but soon became happy again.

"Punishment! Punishment! Punishment!"

The door of the third lounge was not closed, and players could see that the NPC inside looked particularly happy.

They looked at each other.

Soon, the child who first drew the ghost fortune climbed onto the high experimental table.

The four children glanced at the children below and smiled.

"In our game of hide and seek today, there are still two civilians that have not been found."

The players were stunned.

There are actually two civilians

Where are those two civilian NPCs hiding? Why haven't they appeared yet

When these kids were looking for someone, they could be described as a swarm of locusts. They didn't miss any cabinet.

Which two kids could escape such a raid

two…

Zhou Yian was the first to react.

"Are these two 'civilians' me and Liu Feiyao?"

Zhou Yian and the other man did see a ghost, but it was not the hide-and-seek ghost, it was a real ghost.

The two entered into a game of "hide and seek" with real ghosts, and Zhou Yian's ghost was beaten away, and he inexplicably won the game.

Liu Feiyao is similar.

In other words, if you win the game after being targeted by a real ghost, you can still survive to the end as a civilian.

So if they face the real ghost tomorrow and the five of them work together to defeat it, then can the five of them win the game directly without having to participate in this horrible game of hide-and-seek

This idea can only be realized tomorrow.

Soon, the four "ghosts" on the experimental table discussed and announced the final results.

"The five people with the lowest points in today's hide-and-seek game are: Zhu Liang, Liu Dongxin, Guan Fengpei, Yuan Lanlan... Jie Fangcheng! They must be punished!"

Four children with sad faces were pushed onto the experimental table, and soon someone noticed something was wrong.

"Why are there only four? Where's the remaining one?"

"Who? Who's left?"

"The guy named Jie Fangcheng was the first one to be caught! He had the lowest score! Hurry up and call him over! Where is he?"

The four "ghosts" were all impressed by Jie Fangcheng. Someone asked uncertainly: "Is he still sleeping?"

That’s not the case.

As more and more civilians were captured, the lounge was filled with the sounds of children happily chatting and laughing. Was Jie Fangcheng still sleeping

He left the lounge early and directly. When he reached the door, the teacher NPC waiting in the corridor had shining eyes and an angry expression.

"Jie Fangcheng! What did the teacher say? You are not allowed to leave the lounge during the lunch break! Children who don't follow the teacher's rules are bad kids!"

After listening to this, Jie Fangcheng also looked very angry: "Lounge, lounge, listen, listen, what are they doing? Is this still a lounge? I can't even sleep!"

The teacher was stunned, as if she didn't hear what he said at all: "How dare you talk back to the teacher! The teacher will call your parents in a while and ask them to discipline you after school tonight!"

What a broken game.

Xie Fangcheng ran away.

The teacher NPC behind him was so angry that he jumped up and down, but it was obvious that this NPC did not have the authority to attack yet, so he could only watch this "bad student" stroll back to the classroom.

Zhan Xiaoming was also in the classroom.

He was so scared in the second lounge that he came out and returned to the classroom alone.

When he looked at the empty classroom and recalled what the teacher NPC said, Zhan Xiaoming felt a sense of panic.

He broke the rules.

One thing that all players know is that violating the rules set by NPCs in the game is a terrible thing. It is true that Zhan Xiaoming has a lot of props, but the power of the props in this game depends on the props themselves and the strength of the user.

What strength can Zhan Xiaoming, a novice player who has never entered a dungeon, have

When a man arrived at the classroom, he regretted it more and more.

The teacher NPC’s punishment for students who break the rules is to “call their parents.” It’s easy to imagine that this parent NPC is a tough guy, definitely more powerful than the naughty kid.

At night, the players returned to their respective "homes", and by then there was no one who could help him.

If I had known this earlier, I should have given it a try in the second lounge. It's definitely better than breaking the rules and facing the terrifying NPC alone at night, right

When Zhan Xiaoming was thinking about something in the classroom, the classroom door opened.

Zhan Xiaoming was stunned for a moment, then saw the somewhat strange new player walk in.

He looked very unhappy, and exuded a kind of resentment that made people stay away from him.

Is this what happened when you were making the game

Zhan Xiaoming thought, but the presence of one more person in the empty classroom made him feel a lot more at ease.

"Hey, why are you back too?"

Jie Fangcheng was honest: "It's too noisy."

The teacher told us not to speak loudly. Although the children were not "loud", they talked a lot and their voices were sharp. There were more than a hundred children, and even if they all spoke at a normal volume, it would have been a headache.

Zhan Xiaoming: “…”

I have to say, this new player is indeed a bit weird.

He still remembered that during the break, the player and his ghost classmate went to the bathroom, and then screams were heard from the bathroom.

Does this person have any tricks

After answering his question, Jie Fangcheng lay down on the table and prepared to sleep.

Not long after he lay down, someone next to him poked him with a finger.

"Hey, hey! Wake up."

Jie Fangcheng put one hand on the table next to him.

He had already decided that if anyone stabbed him without a legitimate reason, Jie Fangcheng would beat him to death.

When Jie Fangcheng raised his head with a murderous look on his face, the first thing that came into view was a strangely shaped rabbit doll. A chubby, short child's hand held the doll and handed it to Jie Fangcheng.

"You take it."

Zhan Xiaoming really didn’t know what other tricks this player had, but when this person first arrived at the dungeon, he was stunned in front of the NPC. Zhan Xiaoming guessed that he probably had never even experienced a simulated dungeon.

"You probably don't have any props, right? Use this." Zhan Xiaoming said, "You also came back early, and the teacher will probably call your 'parents'. I estimate that the 'parents' are much stronger than the ghost child. If you don't have any props, you will die easily."

Zhan Xiaoming smiled: "I am a second-generation traveler, I have a lot of props, I don't need this."

After saying that, Jie Fangcheng was stunned. He stuffed the rabbit doll in his hand into Jie Fangcheng's arms, and then returned to his seat.

Jie Fangcheng remained silent. After a while, he picked up the rabbit doll in his hand and looked at it.

[Item: Mr. Rabbit·Normal]

[Introduction: Mr. Rabbit, Mr. Rabbit! Can you help me? ]

[Tip: The loyal and gentleman Mr. Rabbit will help every child who asks him for help, of course, only when he is free. When you need help, why not ask Mr. Rabbit if he is free? ]

[Function: Summons "Mr. Rabbit", duration 10 minutes, cooldown 24 hours (usable)]

This kid...

Jie Fangcheng felt somewhat complicated.

Just then, the bell rang at 1:55.

The friendly and kind voice of the NPC came from the radio.

"Class is about to start, dear children, please return to the classroom before two o'clock and prepare for class."

The radio seemed to be a switch. In the blink of an eye, countless children ran out from the lounge laughing.

They ran back to the teaching building, laughing all the way, but many children did not enter the classroom. Instead, they stood in the corridor looking out.

Zhan Xiaoming paid close attention to every clue, and after discovering something unusual about these children, he also stood in the corridor.

Suddenly the corridor was crowded with people, and Zhan Xiaoming couldn't find anyone to ask about the situation among the players.

What's going on? What happened

While he was confused, soon, when most of the children had rushed into the teaching building from the lounge, time was passing by and it was almost time for class, and the door of the lounge building opened again.

A small group of children ran towards the teaching building like crazy, and those who ran faster quickly entered the building.

But there were still a few children left at the back. They ran forward anxiously, but they couldn't run fast enough.

In the teaching building, I don’t know who was the first to start counting down.

"ten!"

"Nine!"

"eight!"

Joyful laughter floated over the entire kindergarten, and the countdown gathered into a huge sound wave, sweeping over everyone.

When the countdown reached three, the children in the corridor pushed and shoved each other to get into the classroom, each of them with a sense of satisfaction as if they had seen enough of a good show.

Zhan Xiaoming was confused, but he followed the crowd back to the classroom.

This time he found other players.

"What happened in the lounge?"

Several players looked unhappy. Zhou Yian quickly explained, "Those kids lost the game. They were required to leave the rest building at 1:59:30, otherwise they would be isolated."

be isolated

For adults, isolation and non-isolation are just childish tricks.

But for children, the sentence "no one wants to play with you" is a big deal.

The child who loses the game can only follow the rules, stay in the rest building until the end, and rush back to the teaching building in the last thirty seconds.

But the distance from the rest building to the teaching building is not short, and thirty seconds is not long. At least half of the children failed to enter the classroom at exactly two o'clock.

For example, in the senior class (4) where the players are, among the five people who were originally scheduled to be punished, Jie Fangcheng had already run away. The children searched for him but couldn't find him, so they had to give up.

Among the remaining four children, only a little girl with long legs ran in at the right time.

After she came in, a look of relief appeared on her face, and she joked mischievously with the classmates around her.

But the remaining three children were blocked at the classroom door.

Teacher Liu looked serious.

"What did the teacher say? You must be in the classroom before two o'clock! How could you not take the teacher's words to heart? You disappoint the teacher so much! You are so naughty, the teacher will call your parents tonight and ask them to discipline you!"

After hearing this, the three children trembled all over and looked at Teacher Liu in fear.

Teacher Liu was unmoved: "Why are you still standing there? Go back to the classroom and have class!"

It seems that "parents" are very scary, whether for players or for ordinary child NPCs.

After Zhan Xiaoming thought about this clearly, his fear became even greater.

He will have to face his "parents" alone tonight. I wonder if he can escape

But no matter how nervous he was, the afternoon passed quickly.

After school in the afternoon, Teacher Liu stood on the podium. She smiled and put little red flowers on the faces of several children to reward them for their excellent performance in kindergarten today.

—Although in the eyes of the players, the "punishment" of these children playing hide-and-seek at noon is tantamount to bullying, and all the children do not deserve to be praised as "good children".

But apparently that's nothing in the eyes of NPCs.

The three punished children shed tears silently, looking frightened and terrified like little flower buds ravaged by a storm, making people feel pity for them.

The teacher at the podium didn't care. After rewarding the "obedient" students, her face darkened.

"Next, I'm going to criticize the five children who performed the worst today!"

Sure enough, Zhan Xiaoming and Fang Cheng were on the list.

Teacher Liu argued confidently and was very angry.

"You didn't listen to the teacher today. Some of you left the lounge during break time, and some of you were late for class! The teacher has called your parents! When you get home, you must reflect on the mistakes you made today! If you five still perform the worst tomorrow, the teacher will be really angry!"

The three children who were criticized burst into tears.

Zhan Xiaoming looked unhappy. He turned to look at Jie Fangcheng who was also criticized.

Jie Fangcheng... Jie Fangcheng is still sleeping.

Isn’t this person worried about having to face the parent NPC alone after returning “home” at night

Zhan Xiaoming was already shaking with nervousness.

His psychological quality was not very good to begin with. It was still okay when he was clearing the simulation copy before. After all, in a simulation copy, even if he encountered something terrible, he knew it was fake and he would not be that scared.

Now this copy is real, if you die in it, you are dead.

Zhan Xiaoming felt his fingers go stiff and his feet felt as if there were thousand-pound sandbags tied to them.

He only felt that from the corner of his eye, many "children" were gradually leaving the classroom, and these children were about to go home happily.

The players gathered together, and Zhou Yian asked him something with some concern, but Zhan Xiaoming didn't remember what he answered.

It’s time to go back “home” and face the strange “parent” monster alone.

Are they scary? Will they eat me the first time they see me

Suddenly, a voice sounded in my ear: "Zhan Xiaoming."

Zhan Xiaoming raised his head as if he had just woken up from a dream, with a look of panic on his face.

Around him, several other players had already been picked up by their "parents", but there was still one left.

A player named Jie Fangcheng asked: "Do you know where you live?"

"Ah?" Zhan Xiaoming took two seconds to react before he realized what he was asking him. "I don't know..."

The place where they enter the game is at the gate of the kindergarten. When parents come to pick up their children, the teacher will stand at the door and read out the names of the children, one by one.

In this case, there is no need for players to actively look for their home address.

At this time, Jie Fangcheng asked him his address, which was a very novice question.

The copy is fair, and each player will have the same amount of information at the beginning. That is to say, as long as Jie Fangcheng thinks about whether he knows his home address, he can infer that others do not know their addresses either.

At this time, Xie Fangcheng, who was a very newcomer, heard him say this and just patted him on the shoulder.

"fine."

It was very strange, with just these two simple words, Zhan Xiaoming, who was originally so panicked that he could hardly breathe, felt as if he had obtained a golden medal of immunity from death. In an instant, he felt an inexplicable sense of security.

"ah… "

Jie Fangcheng waved at him, carried his small schoolbag on one shoulder, and just left.

His "parents" also came to pick him up.

To be honest, Jie Fangcheng hesitated for a moment before leaving.

He was wondering whether he should find a good stick at school, in case there was none at "home"

But he thought again, if there is no stick at home, there must be a stool, table, or bed, right? There must be one of these pieces of furniture with legs, right

It is quite troublesome for him to carry the stick, so it would be better for him to use local materials.

With this thought in mind, Jie Fangcheng came to the door and then was stunned for a moment.

"You are Xiao Cheng, right?"

The ferocious "parent" who was very suitable for being beaten that Jie Fangcheng had imagined did not appear. Instead, what appeared in front of him was a high school student wearing a school uniform and rimless glasses.

This high school student looks so good that people like him at first sight. His expression is so gentle that people think he must be a refined gentleman. Even his voice is gentle.

But when he squatted down and talked to Jie Fangcheng, a pair of black pupils looked at Jie Fangcheng through the lenses, which made Jie Fangcheng feel a kind of hidden cold scrutiny.

"Uncle Jie has to work overtime today, so please ask me to pick you up." He smiled, "My last name is Zhang, you can call me Brother Zhang."
