"If I remember correctly, those who failed to beat us in every exam before were cursed like this in the end." Guo Guo said quietly.
"...what I said is true!" A Wan clenched her teeth: "Aren't you a psychic? Come on, see if I'm lying to you!"
Meeting her gaze, Tang Xinjue knew that the other party was not lying.
When the line of defense deep in the opponent's mind loosened, some intermittent whispers emerged in the inspection of mental power:
[In the depths of the nightmare... no one can really escape... the curse of the bad student has taken effect, the predestined death has appeared... Tang Xinjue, countdown...]
The following babble was cut off by a harsh noise, and Awan's pupils shrank, and she was really vomiting blood at the moment.
Tang Xinjue's spying brought her an unimaginable backlash, and even started to obliterate her vital signs!
"It seems that this is indeed very important information."
Tang Xinjue rubbed the center of her brows: "But strictly speaking, I am not the one who has a grudge against you, so it is not in my hands to decide whether to let you go."
She turned to Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi thought for a while: "50 points plus two props."
Tang Xinjue: "Deal."
Awan: "..."
The revenge of killing roommates was traded so easily? ? ? This good student's dormitory relationship...why does it seem to be more plastic than her own
Before she could react, Bai Zhi had already stretched out his hand—the white light fell into the girl's bloodshot eyeballs, and the severe pain in all limbs dissipated a lot immediately. A Wan rolled her eyes twice in a daze, before confirming that the transaction had indeed taken effect.
She narrowly escaped death again!
In ecstasy, A Wan did not forget to sacrifice the contract props cautiously, after confirming that 606 and Bai Zhi would not do anything to her again. Only after she considered it did she open her mouth to reveal the secret related to Tang Xinjue:
"You'd better recall, before the game came, no, before the first nightmare appeared, did any strange things happen?"
Before the first nightmare
Tang Xinjue frowned.
It is really difficult to accurately mobilize the memory of three years ago in a short period of time.
Even thinking about it carefully, since the nightmare appeared, her life was like being suddenly injected with a tube of thick black ink. Since then, the focus of memory has been completely shifted, while the peaceful life before has gradually faded and blurred.
As soon as A Wan's voice fell, Guo Guo immediately asked: "Why do you want to recall this, what will happen in the next instance?"
A Wan snorted coldly: "It's because I know now, so I can't say it. If I can say it, I won't know it, do you understand?"
Guo Guo: ... Can anyone translate it for her in human language
But in short, although Tang Xinjue couldn't dig out A Wan's memory directly with his mental power, he could tell whether the other party was lying or not.
— At least so far, what she said is true.
Thinking of the possible consequences of her "leaking the secret", A Wan swallowed her throat and continued to "spoiler": "I can't tell you what will happen in the next dungeon, I can only say that they will not let you go Of... If you want to survive, the sentence I said above is a reminder—"
I don't know what keyword was triggered, Awan's voice suddenly stopped, and then his face turned pale instantly, obviously being backlashed by some kind of rules again.
Bai Zhi made a move: "This time it will be charged to your account."
Reluctantly hanging his life back again, A Wan bitterly gave the "treatment fee": "I only have these last two props left. I have finished what I can say. This dungeon will be considered even, and we will meet again in the future." Each according to his ability..."
"Tang classmate! Zheng classmate Zhang classmate Guo classmate!"
An excited voice suddenly came from afar. When several people turned their heads at the same time, they saw at the end of their empty road, a boy who was as fat as an inflated balloon was waving his hands vigorously, and then ran towards this side.
Several people watched this "balloon" approaching in amazement, only Tang Xinjue didn't look surprised:
"Zhou Ao."
606 The other three people: "Zhou Ao???"
In their memories not long ago, Zhou Ao was still a tall, thin boy who looked like a telegraph pole. He couldn't be said to be exactly the same as the huge "balloon" in front of him, but had nothing to do with it.
Dragging his fat body, Zhou Ao was exhausted and out of breath. He took out his ID card to prove himself:
"Yes, it's me! I heard that you came to the casino, and I was afraid that you would not have enough money, so I followed."
He chuckled and patted the flesh on his belly: "Now I'm finally a farmer turned landlord, and I don't have to worry about running out of money anymore!"
Tang Xinjue frowned slightly: "Where did you get so many catties of meat?"
Zhou Ao is not a VIP tourist. If he wants to enter the amusement park, he has to pay at least 198 jin of admission fee. Coupled with his current weight of at least 400 catties, it means that he has earned four to five hundred catties in this short period of time!
But the boy flickered and did not answer directly. He looked around and saw the other two, and immediately became excited: "You have found other classmates! Hey, I don't seem to know you, I know, are you from the last batch? classmate?"
The other party nodded: "Hi, my name is Bai Zhi."
Zhou Ao rubbed his hands: "It's just right, I have found the location of the exit of the copy, and when the stipulated time is up, you can leave directly, don't worry about being detained here!"
His excited eyes swept over the other person, only to find that the hands and feet of the girl with her head hanging were tied, her long black curly hair blocked her face, and she still felt a slight tremor when she looked intently.
A sense of familiarity suddenly surged up, and Zhou Ao's face changed slightly: "Wait a minute, this is..."
"This one doesn't need to be introduced." Tang Xinjue smiled: "You should all know each other."
Zhou Ao opened his eyes wide, slowly poked his head over, and then said in disbelief: "Ah, Awan? Are you really still alive??!"
After being called out by name, A Wan finally raised his head and let out a voice through his teeth: "You are... still alive."
Seeing Zhou Ao again, A Wan was even more shocked than the other party.
She was clearly sure that everyone was dead, how could it be - the girl suddenly turned her head and stared at the other person.
... Tang Xinjue!
From Zhou Ao to Bai Zhi, it must have been Tang Xinjue's repeated interventions that caused things to deviate far from her planned development track.
Why can't the other party come to this dungeon one step later, or even not come at all? Why was she unlucky enough to meet the other party? Why-
Zhou Ao's voice broke her train of thought: "Great, I really didn't expect, I didn't expect that I could still see my living companion...
As he spoke, his voice became a little choked up, and he wiped his eyes and said, "After we separated from you, I kept looking for it, and I found Lao Zhang and Li Ke, but they didn't hold on. I thought everyone was in the army Annihilated, fortunately you are here, at least you can go out."
Awan didn't make a sound for a moment. Zhou Ao gradually calmed down, raised his head and saw the complex expression on the other party's face, and was slightly taken aback, only to belatedly remembered all the speculations at the beginning:
"By the way, Awan, how did you survive? I remember you already—"
It's been blown to pieces.
As if sensing something, Zhou Ao's eyes gradually widened, and he looked at the group of people in front of him anxiously.
Tang Xinjue said:
"Next, you may hear some hard truths. If you don't want to hear it, you can choose to give up."
Zhou Ao's face changed several times, his lips trembled, and he finally said:
"No, I want to listen."
Even if he dies, he must die to understand!
…
But when Tang Xinjue really controlled Awan to tell the truth, Zhou Ao was struck by lightning and almost collapsed.
"It was a lie that you covered our escape, and it was a lie to tell us the way to escape, Lao Wang, Sister Han... Xiaoyu and the others, did you kill them??"
And he didn't know anything about it!
The control disappeared, and Awan immediately defended and refuted: "I wanted everyone to get out alive at the beginning! My roommate is also here, so would I attack my roommate? But you have also seen how difficult this copy is." , There is no way to pass the level without finding another way. And even if I don't do it, according to the situation you were in at the time, you couldn't survive at all!"
It's just that later, even her roommates were caught in the trap one after another, and the secret was exposed to more risks, so she didn't have anything to hesitate about.
With the [Deceit] skill, even if Zhou Ao finds something wrong, he will immediately forget it. He held his head and collapsed for a while, took out a red pill from his pocket and crushed it, and Awan spat out a mouthful of blood at the same time.
The skills she applied to Zhou Ao were also broken.
Holding the last hope, she raised the corner of her mouth and said coldly: "Are you going to die with me? Don't forget, you have found the exit now, and you can go out at any time. And as long as you pass the level alive, you will have a chance to be resurrected in the future." Your roommate. But on the contrary, if you die here, you will have no chance at all."
"—Are you going to risk this for a moment of revenge?"
A Wan wanted to find a trace of wavering and self-doubt on Zhou Ao's face, but only saw a self-deprecating smile on this fat face.
Zhou Ao smiled and said, "No, I can't go out anymore."
He opened the bright red ledger, which impressively recorded a huge amount of transaction income. The name of the other party to the transaction has only three characters: [Grandma Wang].
"When I couldn't hold it anymore, Granny Wang found me. She said that I have a pair of good eyes that have not yet been born. In exchange for these eyes, I can exchange for wealth enough to cover my debts and know the position of any point."
Smiling and laughing, two dark tears flowed from Zhou Ao's narrowed eyes.
But with his eyes gone, he was completely "stayed" here, with no ability to leave anymore.
Hearing this sentence, A Wan's complexion finally changed suddenly, and he moved his feet and tried to back away: "What do you mean? What do you want to do?"
"I mean, you should pay the price and pay with your life for what you did."
Zhou Ao paused every word.
"Maybe I can't kill you, I won't let you go—from now on, you will stay in this copy forever, just like me."
The last bit of blood on A Wan's face also disappeared.
She turned to Tang Xinjue: "We have made a deal, we have a contract! You promised..."
"Yes, I promised."
Tang Xinjue interrupted her: "Neither 606 nor Baizhi have shot you, have they? Don't worry, we will abide by the contract until we leave the dungeon."
But it is well known that a contract can only prescribe the conduct of the person who signed it. As for Zhou Ao, who was not alive at all in A Wan's eyes, he was naturally not within the bounds of the contract.
A Wan opened her mouth, neither inhaling nor exhaling, and it took a long time to squeeze it out of her throat:
"You knew Zhou Ao was here...you did it on purpose."
That's why Bai Zhi agreed to let her go so easily, because as a psychic, Tang Xinjue could tell everyone the information without her knowing.
"Our grievances in this dungeon are over. Of course, there should never be a chance to meet again."
Bai Zhi calmly pronounced her death sentence, then withdrew his healing ability, turned and left.
"No, Tang Xinjue, I still have value, Tang Xinjue..."
A Wan struggled to jump forward, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.
"This is Changing Community, a famous tourist attraction in the University City, where countless tourists enjoy themselves." Tang Xinjue softly read the slogan: "Congratulations, have a good time."
