The moment he saw the photo, Ning Buwen knew that he had finally obtained the key prop to pass the game.
Sure enough, the thing was in the hands of School Doctor Cheng.
"Xiao Xin, let's go." Ning Buwen patted his stupid dog's head, "Let's go to the school gate. If we stay here, we will die. If we are lucky, maybe we can leave this game early."
There are three ways to complete the Pandora's Box game.
First, complete the requirements of the Pandora game. For example, this time Ning Buwen's clearance requirement is to survive for ten days. As long as Ning Buwen uses all means to survive to the tenth day, even if he does nothing, he can get a D-level evaluation and pass the level smoothly.
The second is to use special clearance prop cards. These prop cards are almost rare, sometimes only one may appear in a year, and they can only appear in those legions with single-digit code numbers, and they are life-saving. This kind of prop card will only be used in special game copies where there is no way to survive, so this kind of clearance method can be ignored.
The third method, which is one of the important indicators for selecting talents in all legions at present, is said to be the fastest way to clear the level and the one with the greatest benefits. It is to crack the world view and the truth of the level you are in. In this way, you can clear the level in advance, and the evaluation you get must be above level B. The specific evaluation result will be calculated according to the completeness of your cracking of the world view.
Generally speaking, gamers who only cleared three levels are considered rookies. Everyone has very low expectations for rookies. As long as they can survive according to the first method, they will be fine. Those who rashly try the third method often die miserably. Although Ning Buwen had thought about using the third method, he had no choice but to be honest because the novice gift pack did not give him any useful props.
But this game copy has so many advantages in terms of timing, location and people that it has reached the point where one cannot pass it without committing suicide.
Just like now, he has obtained the key props, but he may not be able to escape the pursuit tonight. Just Zhao Shutong is enough to crush him to death, not to mention that there is a monster in the classroom that is obviously more powerful than Zhao Shutong. Even if Zhao Shutong cannot kill him because of the diary, when she transfers him to the classroom, even his will will be worn out. How can he force her back like he did during the day
Therefore, it would be better not to ask if this is the only path left.
Xiaoxin didn't understand anything, he just stupidly followed his owner towards the school gate.
It's only eight o'clock now, and there are still about two hours before the evening self-study get out of class ends.
Two hours is enough to walk to the school gate.
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is very disappointing.
Ning Buwen had just come out of the infirmary with his dog when he saw the remaining classmates in the class blocking his way one by one.
There were not many students in the class originally, only about ten or twenty in total, and almost all of them came.
If the scene were changed, Ning Buwen would almost feel that he was extremely popular.
"Student Ning, you haven't come to class for two consecutive days. The head teacher asked us to ask you to go to class." The person who spoke was an ordinary-looking boy. Ning was not sure whether he was a student in the class until he asked.
"I'm going abroad, so I won't be coming to school recently, let alone evening self-study. Please make way." Ning Buwen said and wanted to walk forward.
"No, you have to go to evening study!"
"How can a student not go to class? I'll take you there right now."
"Let's go, Ning."
The other students also gathered around and reached out their hands to pull Ning Buwen away.
Some of them pulled Ning Buwen's hand, some pulled his feet. It didn't look like they wanted to take him back to the classroom, but rather to dismember him.
Ning did not ask nor rush, but observed these students with interest.
Judging from the dull look in their eyes, they should be basically under control.
But think about it from another perspective. The only living person in the school, School Doctor Cheng, is already dead. All the rest are just moving corpses. There is not much difference.
"Do you all know that you are actually dead?" Ning Bu Wen suddenly asked.
When these students heard this, their faces suddenly changed.
"What are you talking about?"
"Student Ning, let's go back to study."
"Walk."
Ning Buwen kicked away the classmate who was closest to him and went straight to the face, with no intention of showing any mercy.
Then, almost all the students on both sides were knocked down by Ning Buwen within a few minutes.
No pressure at all.
"I can't beat those inhuman creatures, but that doesn't mean I can't do anything when facing ordinary students like you." Ning Buwen clapped his hands and couldn't help but whistled, "I'm a professional."
Shin-chan also bit a student's trouser leg.
"Don't bite." Ning Buwen quickly carried the stupid little dog away, "These are all dead people, what are you biting? Don't come near me after you're done biting me."
“Woof—”
"Go on your own and follow."
These students were just some moving roadblocks. It was obvious that Zhao Shutong asked them to come over just to delay time. What she didn't expect was that Ning Buwen's skills were actually quite good.
After all, he was the one who fought with Chen Ying who was holding an axe and won.
In the following period of time, although there were various obstacles on the road, generally speaking they did not delay Ning Bu Wen for much time.
At about nine o'clock, Ning Buwen and Xiaoxin arrived at the school gate.
At the school gate, Zhao Shutong was waiting there.
She now looked like a ghost.
Ning Buwen looked at her again this time and felt that she was completely different from during the day.
He looked at the woman in front of him and almost felt pity for her.
However, there must be something hateful about pitiful people. Just because she possessed and killed School Doctor Cheng, Ning Buwen strangled the little bit of sympathy in his heart.
"Let's talk." Ning Buwen put his hand in his pocket, holding the yellowed photo with his fingers, and tried to delay for a while. "I can return this urn to you first."
Ning Buwen put down the urn in his arms, then took two steps back, "This is my sincerity."
Zhao Shutong's fingernails instantly stretched out, and she held the urn steadily in her hands.
"I found a photo in Dr. Cheng's diary." Ning Buwen looked at Zhao Shutong calmly, "There is only one woman in the photo, in class. Guess who that woman is?"
Zhao Shutong held the urn and didn't speak for a long time.
"I always thought you became like this because of your sister. I was wrong." Ning Buwen slowly took out the photo from his trouser pocket, "Because even you don't know clearly."
When Zhao Shutong saw the photo, she not only did not rush over to grab it, but a look of fear appeared in her eyes.
Both afraid and expectant.
Quite contradictory.
"Just like the students who have died in this school, some of them look alive, but they are actually dead. It's the same for me and you. You said before, 'School Doctor Cheng is the only living person in this school,' and I thought it was a bit strange. At least during the day, you are no different from normal people. I didn't expect that the people you mentioned also included yourself."
Ning Bu Wen pointed the front of the photo towards Zhao Shutong opposite him, and then slowly approached her.
Zhao Shutong's eyes seemed to be glued to the photo, staring at it motionlessly.
There is only one woman in this yellowed photo.
The woman was teaching a class with a bright smile on her face, looking very beautiful.
There is no difference between her and Zhao Shutong except that she looks a little younger and more human.
Ning Buwen immediately ruled out the possibility of twins.
Because the possibility of twins is untenable. If a female teacher died in a school, how could they recruit a twin sister who looks almost exactly the same to teach in the same class
So, there is actually only one possibility left.
There has never been any sister for Zhao Shutong in this school, and Zhao Shutong doesn't have a sister at all.
The dead female teacher was Zhao Shutong herself.
She was the real dead female teacher summoned by the "original owner" played by Ning Buwen and several students.
But Zhao Shutong herself had forgotten about this matter.
She fabricated a fact about herself that she was "not dead yet" and made herself her own "sister."
But she didn't change her name.
This is a big flaw of hers.
So when Ning Buwen asked Chen Ying the name of the dead female teacher, Chen Ying instantly went crazy.
Because Chen Ying realized in an instant that the head teacher she had been with day and night was actually the dead female teacher.
"You wanted to kill Dr. Cheng because he was the only person who could possibly recognize you. You wanted his diary because you knew he had your photo and your urn. Through me, you killed the only person in the world who could possibly know who you are and remind you of the truth."
Ning Buwen moved closer and closer to Zhao Shutong with the photo in his hand.
Zhao Shutong tried to raise her hand to kill Ning Buwen, but her body seemed to be frozen.
"I used a knife to drill a hole in the bottom of the urn and sealed it with wax. When I gave it to you just now, I scraped off the wax." Ning Buwen spread out his palm, which was covered with a piece of white wax. "How does it feel to be covered with your own ashes?"
Zhao Shutong's face was changing rapidly, and that devil-like face was gradually returning to its human appearance.
"I'll give you the photo too." Ning Buwen put the photo on Zhao Shutong's face and said word by word, "You are already dead. Leave here."
Zhao Shutong was startled, her eyes blank, "I... I'm already dead? Yes, I... I'm already..."
months ago.
Four students secretly climbed up the old teaching building with a booklet.
"Teacher Zhao is so kind to us, we can definitely revive her."
"Are you ready?"
"I'm ready."
"I'm ready too."
…
"Teacher Zhao, you are really alive!"
"Teacher Zhao!"
"I, what's wrong with me?"
"Blood?"
“It hurts. It hurts so much.”
…
There is a price to pay for resurrecting people.
The original body and the students who performed the spirit summoning together were all dead, and all the students in Zhao Shutong's class were also dead.
Perhaps the curse has spread to this school in advance, which is why it has created such a strange place.
Ning Bu Wen watched Zhao Shutong's body turn into ashes bit by bit, and at the same time a gentle female voice was heard.
"Congratulations to the player for completing the 'Spirit Summoning Dungeon' ahead of schedule. The exit has been opened. Please leave within two hours."
A large golden box suddenly appeared at the school gate.
The patterns and appearance of this box are exactly the same as the Pandora's Box that Ning Buwen obtained in the real world, except that it is enlarged many times.
The box is open. Just walk in and close the lid, and you can immediately return to the real world.
Ning Buwen walked towards the box. Xiaoxin had already jumped into the box and was wagging his tail, waiting for his owner to come in.
"You go back first." Ning Buwen had one foot in the air, then put it down again, "I'm going to get something, and I'll be back soon."
"Woof."
"It's my first time falling in love with someone, so I have to bring something back." Ning Buwen laughed softly, but it looked uglier than crying. "How ridiculous! School Doctor Cheng died so unjustly. After I get out, I may have to see a psychiatrist."
"Woof." Xiao Xin didn't understand at all and just wagged his tail happily.
Ning Buwen turned around and ran towards the infirmary.
All he had to do was take back the photo frame of School Doctor Cheng, which was allowed by the rules.
In fact, Pandora's Box will leave players with one to twenty-four hours after each game copy ends. If the player is skilled and bold, he can take advantage of this period of time to continue searching in the copy, and whatever he finds will be his.
Of course, some people use this to get to the top in one go, while others die after digging out other boss items.
It’s better not to ask and not to be greedy.
He cleared the level ahead of schedule this time, so his rating must be above B, or even A, so he doesn't need any rewards, he just wants to bring back some souvenirs.
The journey back was smooth.
He soon reached the infirmary.
"Just consider it as a memorial to my deceased first..." Ning Bu Wen picked up the photo frame and was talking to himself when he heard a burst of slow footsteps at the door.
How come there are still people here at this time
Ning Bu Wen picked up the scissors on the table, hid at the door, and when someone came in, he immediately raised the scissors and stabbed at the person.
The opponent's speed was obviously faster than his.
The world was spinning.
Ning Buwen felt a sharp pain as he fell to the ground. He was knocked to the ground by the man who came.
The scissors also fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
"If you want to kill someone with scissors, don't aim at my chest." The man picked up the scissors on the ground and pointed the tip of the scissors at his temple. "You can only kill me in one breath if you poke here."
It’s still such a beautiful face that doesn’t match the surrounding style at all.
But he had taken off the white coat and changed into a black windbreaker that can be seen everywhere.
He looks like a completely different person from before.
School Doctor Cheng?!
