The four of 606 looked at each other subtly.
If they were just tentatively inviting girls with short hair before, then after this sentence, the other party would have to come this time.
Guo Guo pretended to be stupid: "Why? I think our dormitory is very good! And now there is no signal on the mobile phone, so there is no need to worry about the scam gang contacting us again."
The short-haired girl glanced at her speechlessly and with some pity: "The more ignorant people live, the happier they will be. Remember to sleep soundly at night."
"Could there be thieves besides scammers?! Then what about the snacks I put in the dormitory? My jelly, cheese, chocolate, breakfast biscuits, double cheese sandwich bread..." Guo Guo showed horror.
girl:"… "
She rolled her throat twice, her expression visibly loosened.
After struggling for a while, the girl looked at her stomach again, and finally made a reluctant decision: "I won't take your food for nothing, I will pay twice what you paid for it." She emphasized: "But now. "
"—Before the curfew time, everyone must return to their dormitories, remember?"
606 looks at one of the few functioning cell phone clocks.
It's 6:45pm.
Zhang You: "When is the night curfew?"
"7 o'clock."
The short-haired girl stared at her blankly, but when she looked carefully, she seemed to have a very shallow sneer: "Didn't anyone tell you? Everyone who has attended evening self-study knows that our curfew is at 7 o'clock. "
"If you still want to continue wandering outside, you don't have much time left."
At 6:46, Zheng Wanqing, who went back to the fourth floor to pick up her things, stood in front of several people again, with a bag full of snacks in each of her left and right hands.
The short-haired girl didn't seem to notice that her right knuckles were silver, and only raised her eyebrows in surprise: "The speed is pretty fast. All right, then come with me."
This time, the girl finally said her name. Her name is Li Zeya and she lives in bedroom 303. The four of them followed her into the dormitory, and saw that the room was very empty. Among the four beds, only one bed had a lot of food packaging bags piled up on it.
There is no doubt that it is Li Zeya's bed.
"Our dormitory was lucky. There was only one person who won the bid in the fraud case. But unfortunately, this person was me."
As soon as Li Zeya entered the room, she opened the food brought by 606, started to gobble it up, and stuffed it into her mouth. She didn't care that there were other people around, until she filled her cheeks like a hamster, and then calmly said intermittently:
"I know, you came to me because of that watch..." After drinking half a bottle of juice, Li Zeya burped loudly, and continued to eat without stopping: "But I didn't write at all, and it's too late to write now. See, For the sake of eating, I will sign for you, and you can fill in the content yourself... hiccup!"
Zhang You briefly exchanged glances with the others: "Even if we are a ghostwriter, we must first understand the real situation about you. Can you tell me how you were deceived?"
Li Zeya recalled while eating: "It's nothing, it's just that the liar said that his family has a food processing factory and two large supermarkets, and that he can buy bread, biscuits and frozen beef at a discount all year round, and I fell for it."
606: "..."
It's reasonable.
"Then, I found out that he was delaying in delivering the beef, so I called the police." Li Zeya wiped her mouth, "That's it."
The whole process is so simple that there is almost no need to write it down carefully.
And compared to the simple case, Guo Guo was more shocked by the speed of the other party's eating - it's only been a few minutes, and you've already eaten half of the snacks
That's enough for three people's dinner!
[With her here, I can even understand how Xin Jue eats so much now. ]
Guo Guo whispered in the chat room in his mind.
Tang Xinjue reminded: [It's 6:50, we still have ten minutes. ]
Seemingly seeing their urgency for time, Li Zeya briefly explained the process of being deceived, and then showed them a screenshot of the scammer's corresponding account on the chat platform, and was about to close the door and give it away.
Before closing the door, she reminded indifferently: "Don't try to find anyone else. At this point in time, unless you open all the doors, you won't see any of them."
"Of course, you can break open a certain door if you want. Just remember to lock it for her before you leave, otherwise...you will regret it."
The door snapped shut.
As Li Zeya said at the end, there is no longer a living person in the whole building. Before seven o'clock, the four returned to dormitory 404.
Guo Guo reacted with hindsight: "We haven't asked Li Zeya why the curfew is at 7 o'clock?"
She remembered that at the time of the headless ghost dungeon, there was no curfew in this school.
"It must have something to do with the Headless Ghost case." Zhang You said in a firm tone, "Do you remember, what time was the Xin Jue sent back?"
Guo Guo: "Afternoon... a little after six o'clock?"
Zhang You nodded: "At six o'clock, [evening self-study] ends."
Guo Guo suddenly realized: "After the evening self-study, add an hour for eating and traveling, which happens to be the curfew!"
This rule is equivalent to sealing the students who have finished their evening self-study in the school, or even in each dormitory room.
"They will feel very depressed and scary." Tang Xinjue said: "No matter whether the same horrible things as [evening study] continue to happen these nights, serious secondary injuries have already occurred. So they are basically left with strong PTSD symptoms — and I think that's probably one of the main dangers we're going to face in the coming days."
Zhang You frowned: "A student with an abnormal mental state?"
Tang Xinjue smiled lightly: "Be more serious, they are victims."
Zhang You: "Strictly speaking, we are also victims. Then why are they the ones who are in danger, but we are the ones who bear the danger?"
She carefully explained her point of view: "If we have the same identity and are the victimized students trapped in this building, then in theory, as long as they can do the same thing, we can do the same, which is within the scope of the rules. inside."
Tang Xinjue raised her eyebrows: "Then what can't they do?"
Guo Guo raised his hands to answer: "I will answer this question! Rights and obligations should be discussed separately. We are just weak ordinary students. We only pursue equal rights for the time being. We will talk about obligations later."
Zheng Wanqing: "To put it simply, we have to do what NPCs can do, and we can find a reason to do what NPCs can't do."
"... Well, it makes sense."
Watching the three of them for a few seconds, Tang Xinjue laughed:
"These are what I said before, right?"
The three of them still stood motionless, and Zhang You spoke first:
"I don't know if I should congratulate you for remembering, or worry about you."
"I believe that if I ask you to say it now, you can accurately tell all the details and secret signs of our past; if I show the intention of attacking you, the mental chains will immediately control me... Of course, the most important thing is, I will not this way."
"how about you?"
Zhang You calmly asked word by word:
"If I really did the above actions, would you immediately defend yourself or fight back, or would you worry if something went wrong with me?"
"Or... now in your mind, do you still worry about our option?"
As Zhang You's last words fell, a long and piercing bell sounded outside the door, stretching from the end of the corridor to the end of the corridor, as if signaling the coming of another time period.
It's seven o'clock, curfew time.
Tang Xinjue also kept standing, watching the other party quietly.
In the silence, she spoke:
"I'm sorry. Maybe saying this will disappoint you, but I can't remember."
"My sea of consciousness still has every detail related to you, and all the thinking logic I need. But I just, will suddenly forget that I still have them."
"It might make me a little weird, but it wasn't my intention..." she sighs. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry you guys."
"What do you mean, you're talking too profoundly, I don't understand you, have you lost your feelings? Or is your brain center affected? Don't scare me!" Guo Guo hurriedly asked.
"yes… "
Tang Xinjue opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain more, but kept silent, and only promised: "I will recover as soon as possible, and it will not affect the exam pass, don't worry."
There were already strange rustling noises coming from the corridor, and the wind outside whimpered and rolled the doors and windows, but the room was still unbelievably quiet.
For a moment, Zhang You closed his eyes and let out a long breath:
"It's okay, Xin Jue, of course we believe in you."
"As long as you said these three words, when have we never believed you?"
Guo Guo also sniffed, and grabbed Zheng Wanqing's arm: "I and Zheng Wanqing have always believed in you, don't worry, you, you will definitely recover."
Tang Xinjue: "Thank you for your trust, but why are you trembling all the time?"
Guo Guo: "Because, because there's a ghost on the balcony!! She's going to climb in soon!!!"
Amidst Guo Guo's short scream, a bolt of lightning struck through the dark window, illuminating the first figure who broke into the sight of several people.
This is a girl with a slightly familiar appearance, and Zhang You immediately recognized her as one of the first freshmen gathered in dormitory 404.
At this moment, the girl's clothes and appearance look very normal and complete, holding a piece of paper in her hand, knocking on the window anxiously, as if she was about to send something in:
"Complaint form - forgot - handed over to you -"
Zheng Wanqing shrugged: "Looking at it this way, she looks like a normal person."
The door of the dormitory cannot be left under curfew, so it is okay to send things over through the public balcony shared by the two dormitories.
Guo Guo: "Indeed... if the direction she just crawled over was not from the left."
—Dorm 406, which shares the balcony with them, is clearly on the right.
Apart from the bare walls and water pipes on the left, there is only another set of balconies sealed by barbed wire. Where did she get in? !
During this time, Zhang You flipped through a stack of watches quickly, and found the one belonging to the girl outside the window:
"But with me, your appeal form has been submitted successfully."
She said calmly and professionally: "It's intact, don't worry."
girl:"… "
Another lightning strike, the white paper in the girl's hand turned into yellow paper, and the handwriting turned into crooked blood, slowly flowing down:
"Let me in! Let me in!"
She knocked on the window frantically.
The people in the room turned a blind eye and even continued to analyze it.
Zhang You said: "In fact, apart from the students who were deceived, I think there is also a very important message on the fraud gang."
She laid several complaint forms flat on the table, and circled several red lines from the fraud process.
"This is the social software account used by those [virtual lovers]."
From the specific information, it can be seen that this gang strictly implemented a refined division of labor and cooperation, and used a different account number and nickname for each student, resolutely preventing the car crash from revealing its secrets.
"But there's another detail besides that," Zhang You said, "Have you found out? These scammers know everything about us."
"—their guiding speech skills when cheating, the forged identities, and even the avatars and nicknames are almost tailor-made for us."
Zhang You gave examples one by one: "Guoguo likes to read novels and anime, and the initial avatar of the liar who met her was a character she likes. As soon as we chatted, he said that he was a part-time novelist; I have a serious cleanliness, and he said he was Organizer with mild obsessive-compulsive disorder... ”
It also targets the personalities of different people: Song Rong is vain, and the chat is the second generation of rich students; Sun Miao is greedy, and the chat is an investment and financial planner; Shi Qingqing is timid, and the chat "just happens" to be psychological counseling.
If the specific process of deceiving people can be said to be the result of formulating words from the deceived person, then the information that matches exactly from the very beginning, could it be that the liar can predict the future
Tang Xinjue was thoughtful: "You mean, the liar probably knew about all of us in advance?"
Zhang You was more straightforward: "There is a ghost between us."
With the liar's understanding of the students, even if the school's information database is adjusted in advance, it will be difficult to achieve.
It's more like someone is by their side... to inform them anytime, anywhere!
At this time, there was a loud noise outside the window. It turned out that the girl slammed her head on the glass with a bang, and the red and white ones burst open, with black eye sockets printed in the middle:
"It's cold and windy outside, please. Aren't we classmates? Don't you want to help me?"
"It's okay to let you in," Guo Guo said solemnly, "but you have to prove that you are not an insider."
Zheng Wanqing disagreed: "How do you prove this? Aren't you making things difficult for someone? I think it's okay to let her fight with the door slammer in the corridor outside the door. Whoever finds out the insider will win."
girl:"?"
Zhang You: "If they can find out by themselves, we won't come here. After all, this is an exam, so we have to pay attention to reviewing the questions."
Guo Guo hated iron for being weak and looked out the window: "You can't always think of asking others to help you, that won't work. Do it yourself to get enough food and clothing, you know?"
girl:"… "
