When the blood-red eyeball just appeared, Tang Xinjue withdrew all the scattered mental power without thinking, leaving no room for direct contact with the other party.
How to judge who is the most annoying candidate in "The House of Elves"? The first thing Tang Xinjue could think of was to capture the number of elves.
... And if she guessed correctly, 606 elf captures should be the most among all dormitories.
as expected.
The speed of the black air rushing up was so fast that there was no time to react, and the glass windows were already soaked into a bottomless thick black. At the same time as the field of vision disappeared, the coldness that pierced into the bone marrow also rushed towards his face, as if he had fallen into a piece of extremely cold water.
The blood-red eyeballs went from locking them to attacking in an instant, and the danger perception was menacing, declaring the monster's strength and inviolability.
Unable to resist and inevitable, is this a dead end
Thoughts turned like lightning, Tang Xinjue remained calm, holding the toilet bowl in the dark.
No... now is not the time.
It's not the worst yet.
If she counted correctly.
In the deathly darkness and silence, Tang Xinjue slowly regained his five senses, and his field of vision re-reflected the outline of the glass window. Outside the outline were layers of surging black air, and there was still floating in the black air, but Motionless blood red eyeballs.
After a long time, Guo Guo found his voice and said hesitantly, "Why... doesn't it come in?"
The moment the black air surged up, she had already thought about the desperate fight and the reincarnation process in the next life, but she never expected that her eyesight had recovered, and the surroundings were still quiet.
She clearly remembered that in the last selected dormitory, it took less than three seconds from the time when the black air was locked to when the group was wiped out. But when she looked out from here and now, the balcony window of the dormitory was completely and firmly blocked in front of her, without any cracks. mean.
"...!!!"
Guo Guo belatedly remembered the key point:
"Our balcony is complete!"
In the previous level, the huge human face that didn't attack the candidates wholeheartedly eroded their balcony guardrails, but unfortunately, it encountered Zhang You holding a storage bag at 606.
It gnawed off one piece, and Zhang You was able to repair two pieces with repair fluid and various odd tools. As a result, they had to catch all 13 elves, and even the capture activity was completely over, and the human face could not break the guardrail.
Therefore, compared to the dilapidated horrors of other dormitories, they now need to have one more layer, or even two layers of barriers to face the attack of blood-red eyeballs!
"Game reminder, all candidates are asked to hide in the dormitory and avoid the wrath of the Elf House under the shelter of the dormitory." Tang Xinjue said suddenly:
"We are now in an absolute state of shelter."
The blood-red eyeballs firmly blocked by the railing: "..."
Laughing dead, can't get in at all.
Viewed from the perspective outside the balcony, the terrifying scene where everyone was terrified was not repeated, but stopped in place strangely, as if some kind of bug was stuck in the eyeball.
But even so, the eyeballs didn't leave. It stared gloomyly at 606's bedroom window, as if thinking about something.
Tang Xinjue didn't let go of the toilet handle. From her expression, Zhang You and the others also saw that the matter might not be over yet.
According to the normal situation, if there is a death trap in the game, candidates can find a way out in advance and successfully avoid it, so they can survive safely. Ghosts are blocked by the rules of the game and will not continue to entangle.
but now…
The sense of danger has not dissipated, and even tends to become stronger.
Tang Xinjue could feel a subtle change in the atmosphere outside.
To be precise, the hostility towards the entire 606 dormitory was subtly condensed into hostility towards one person.
-Herself.
In an instant, Tang Xinjue found the source of the lingering sense of disharmony:
The word "the most annoying student" that the blood-red eyeball used was "student", not "dormitory".
What if this sentence refers to an individual student
The so-called hate can be because a student has the most number of elves, or it can be because of... the student himself.
"Then why are you?"
Tang Xinjue pressed the head of the toilet lever with his heart, speaking softly as if he was talking to himself.
"Unreasonable punishments, unreasonable challenges, unreasonable monsters."
If they didn't guard the balcony like all the candidates when the mutated face was eroding, then at this moment, they would be killed by this kind of dark force that far exceeded the ability of the candidates to resist, and was almost like an obliteration mechanism, just like in the last dormitory.
But why
This punishment can fall on any candidate who is eliminated from the competition, but it should not be her alone, not 606, and should not be the final winner after the cruel screening of the whole competition.
This survival game is pitiful and perverted, but what it reflects in various dungeons is definitely not the pure and simple anti-human logic of "select the most powerful students and kill them".
—When all options are eliminated, the remaining one, no matter how outrageous, is the truth with the highest possibility.
Tang Xinjue raised his eyes abruptly.
Now here, the problem is not her, but the blood red eyeball.
Its punishment logic should not appear at all!
At the same moment, the blood-red eyeballs also moved.
In the thick black air, the eyeballs did not retreat, but squeezed further inward——
The red tissue on the surface of the eyeball stuck to the railing, and turned into thick blood, flowing down the eroded part of the railing. The deeper it squeezed, the bigger the place where the eyeball tissue was suppurated and missing.
Guo Guo was dumbfounded: "What is it doing?"
Tang Xinjue looked stern: "It is being punished by the rules."
From the first time the black air was blocked from the balcony, they had completely won. The blood-red eyeball shouldn't stay here, let alone try to use the eyeball body to break through the balcony barrier and forcefully break in to attack them.
But even though he was punished by the rules, the eyeballs did not give up. The guardrail broke and collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the rotten eyeballs, which were enough to cover a window, slammed into the glass, staring at Tang Xinjue inside the room with dim yellow pupils.
Its purpose is already very obvious.
It wanted to kill Tang Xinjue rather than punish the candidates through the process!
606 is no stranger to eyeballs of this size—as early as in the copy of the road trip, the counselor who suddenly visited in the middle of the night had a red eyeball of about the same size. It's just that if the counselor's "eyeball" brings a sense of majesty and oppression, then this red eyeball at this moment is more dangerous and disgusting.
For Tang Xinjue, she knew this kind of existence earlier than anyone else—not in endless nightmares, but on the day when the game just came, she saw a life-like bird outside the glass window. Unforgettable giant yellow eyeballs.
If she remembers correctly and reads correctly, the yellow eyeballs that flashed away that day and the red eyeballs with clear murderous intentions now have a very high similarity in their coldness and stickiness.
And the thick malice against her for no reason.
"So that's your purpose."
Tang Xinjue slid his fingertips across the screen of the phone, and the never-changing battery made the screen emit a shimmer, breaking the darkness brought by the blood-red eyes.
The dormitory window had cracks, and the shelter of rules was crumbling under the reckless attack of the monster boss. After reacting, Zhang You grabbed her arm violently. Tang Xinjue smiled, and even thought inappropriately: If time permits, she might be able to harass the customer service again, broadcast the violation report live, and maybe she can light up a new achievement point .
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The glass shattered with a loud bang at the end, and boundless malice poured in, completely submerging her.
Freezing, suffocating, tearing...
It was like falling into a nightmare again.
It is said that when the consciousness dives into the bottom of the sea of consciousness, the flow of time felt will slow down to almost no flow.
When Tang Xinjue returned to this water bottle-shaped dark cave filled with mist, he felt the familiar resistance again.
However, her current mental strength is not the same as when she first sank into the sea of consciousness.
This time, she easily waved the mist to the end, and saw four familiar markers floating in the air.
Glass bottle, silver ring, yellow eyes, tape.
These four materialized marks neither enlarged nor shrunk, but the outer layer seemed to be covered with a layer of tulle, and it was impossible to see clearly when you looked carefully. If you didn't feel it deliberately, even she herself The existence of these things will be ignored.
Tang Xinjue's gaze paused for a moment as he glanced past the yellow eyes.
"To be honest, this day came a little later than I thought."
There was no one who cared about her, and she didn't have any expression on her face. She just watched the scene quietly, then raised her hand to cover the center of her forehead.
On this skin, there is a mark, or seal, that can only be revealed in the sea of consciousness.
The existence who left this seal claimed to be the counselor in the game, and gave her the switch to control the dark breath.
When the switch is turned on, the marks left by the ghost in her sea of consciousness, including her own dark part, will be covered together. When the switch is off, all shielding will also be disabled.
From then on, she drove this thing for so long that she even got used to it, as if nothing existed.
... But it turns out that even if she doesn't go to search for the mountain, the mountain will stretch out its claws from the ground, trying to drag her down.
With the touch of a fingertip, the barrier covering the four markers immediately disappeared, and a sense of presence more than a hundred times burst out in an instant.
No, such presence is not enough.
Tang Xinjue rubbed the space between his eyebrows again, and then pressed down hard again!
This time, together with all her spiritual power, they were silenced in exile and suppression.
The blood-red eyeballs suddenly stopped moving again.
It should have devoured the human directly, melting her body into blood with its breath, and it didn't even take a second... The blood vessels in the eyeballs burst out, staring at the human girl with her eyes closed.
But it can't move now.
To be more precise, he was firmly held in place by an irreversible level, and he was not allowed to advance an inch.
If the candidates outside could see the situation in dormitory 606 at this moment, they would find that not only blood-red eyes, but also Tang Xinjue's three roommates were the ones who reacted tremendously.
They retreated almost subconsciously, because just at that moment, a strong sense of strangeness erupted from the person they were most familiar with and trusted——
Then the girl opened her eyes, the cloudy and yellow pupils slowly turned, cold and indifferent.
