Under the gaze of more than a dozen gazes, Guo Guo quickly imagined it in his mind: If Tang Xinjue was standing here at this moment, after making a bet, what would she do next
— Wealth and wealth are sought in insurance.
Thinking of this, Guo Guo regained his composure, and his calm stomach circled around his mouth, but when he spoke, he became cowardly:
"... Well, you first talk about what the punishment is."
The girls whispered for a while, and gave this answer:
"If you lose, you have to use your social account to help us scold the liar severely."
This sounds very normal. At first thought, there was no danger, but it made Guo Guo more vigilant.
There is no dangerous request, and the NPC who almost writes "bad intentions" on his face will let them do it
And Guo Guo still remembers that when they first entered the dungeon yesterday, this group of people made the same request to Zheng Wanqing—even if they were obsessed with scolding liars to vent their anger, why did they use 606's hands to do this? thing
She asked the question: "There is no network signal in this building, how can I contact the scammer through social software?"
"That's your own business." The girls said with a smile: "But if you win, you can get a chance not to participate in the evening self-study - only this time."
"Of course, you have to say who else among us had an accident last night besides poor Xiao Huan? It's a mistake if you miss a word."
"So, are you sure you want to gamble?"
Guo Guo gritted his teeth: "Gambling."
Immediately afterwards, following the memory of last night, she said the names of the "accidents" one by one:
"Lian Rui, Feng Wei...Gao Wanwan."
This is the person whose complaint form has mutated during the 5 hours from curfew to 12 o'clock.
"are you sure?"
The girls stared at her.
Sweat dripped from Guo Guo's forehead, and his brain quickly went back to every scene that happened last night over and over again, afraid that there would be any omissions.
After all, just a few hours ago, the 606 people including her only regarded the mutation of those appeal forms as a bit of information revealed by the NPC under the dungeon rules, rather than some kind of death list.
The air was getting cold again. The sweat that had just leaked out of his back quickly evaporated, and Guo Guo had goosebumps all over his body, and his heart was pounding under the eyes of the whole room.
— This is the first time she has assumed the role of actively negotiating with an NPC, even alone.
Before that, Tang Xinjue had been completing this high-risk task.
It wasn't until she actually stood in this position that she really realized how much psychological test she had to suffer in just a few seconds:
What if she guessed wrong
What if her brilliant reasoning goes wrong
In this 50% risk, once she loses, is she able to bear the consequences of failure
If she hurt her teammates because of her own judgment and impulsiveness, can she make up for it
Countless questions were asked to Guo Guo along with her fast brain speed. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Tang Xinjue, then quickly turned her head back, pursed her lips and said:
"I am sure."
After a few seconds of silence, the corners of the girls' upturned mouths turned cold.
"Congratulations, you got it."
The indoor temperature returned to normal. Guo Guo finally breathed a sigh of relief, and before he had time to wipe off his sweat, he immediately asked, "I won, how can I redeem the reward? What should I do if I don't participate in the evening self-study?"
Facing a series of questions, the leading girl on the opposite side rolled her eyes and said in dissatisfaction: "You still exchange rewards, do you think we are NPCs? As for how to do it, can you tell you about this kind of thing in advance, and you will know when the time comes gone."
After finishing speaking, before Guo Guo could react, they instantly returned to the "normal state" with anxious faces, and hurriedly dragged Guo and Tang to see the location of the other murdered girls.
Walking in the narrow corridor, Tang Xinjue asked Guo Guo why he took the risk just now.
"I don't remember you being like that," she said.
Guo Guo shrugged and asked back: "Do you remember what you said to me during a brain resistance training during the two days of our training before entering this dungeon?"
Tang Xinjue frowned: "The scope and difficulty of recalling this question are a bit too high."
Guo Guo: "I asked you that day, why are you here with such a strong mental strength, Wan Qing with such a strong defensive power, and sister You who is as careful as a hair, and Fa Fu with poor physical foundation like me is here?" Can't develop in a single line, but also need to practice mental strength, practice fighting and strategy?"
"You ask me: In an extremely difficult dungeon, we need to work together and work hard to pass the level. Is it good luck or bad luck?"
Tang Xinjue thought for a while, then nodded slightly: "I remembered, you said at the time that there is no one more unlucky than us."
Guo Guo smiled: "Of course I would answer that. But you told me, on the contrary, it shows that we are very lucky."
She read out Tang Xinjue's original words word by word:
"In a dungeon, there are me and Wan Qing who are good at output, and you and Zhang You who are good at supporting. There are people who are unexpected, people who are desperate, and people who are desperate, and there are always people standing in front of you and behind you to help you - this combination, I don't think it's too much Is it perfect
But in real danger, especially in dungeons full of pits, we often don't give us such an idealized matching environment. One day, there may not be Zhang You, Wan Qing, or even me by your side. "
The scene in memory appeared in front of Guo Guo, Tang Xinjue helped her adjust the helmet, his eyes were calm and reassuring: "At that time, we are not only alone, but also everyone. Then, stick to it to the end."
Guo Guo's footsteps followed the crowd and stopped at the door of another bedroom, and her thoughts returned to reality. She turned to look at Tang Xinjue: "Now you and Wan Qing are both injured, and sister You can't take care of everything by herself. Man, I will make a bold choice. If you make a mistake, I hope you will not blame me when you go back."
Tang Xinjue also smiled back: "How could it be. You have made great progress, I am very happy."
…
The second "incident scene" is Gao Wanwan's bedroom. Compared with the previous victim who jumped from the balcony, her room is much more bloody and terrifying:
Her legs were still standing straight in front of the sink, but her upper body was buried in the sink, her neck was stuck in the sink, and her head could not be seen.
"After our judgment, she probably drowned in the water because she couldn't think about it. It's just that after she died, she didn't know why, but her head was sucked into the sewer. It's really pitiful."
The girls shook their heads and sighed.
Guo Guo: "..."
The last one who jumped off the building said it was suicide, but this one, is there really such a difficult way of suicide in the world
As for why the head can still be strangely stuffed into the sewer after death... She couldn't help but think of how Zhang You ruthlessly flushed the appeal form into the sewer last night, and took a slight step back guiltily:
"Well, Student Gao is indeed very pitiful. Has she left any last words? Or does she have any roommates?"
"Not at all." Sun Miao shook her head: "There are very few juniors in this building, and the only ones who can be regarded as familiar with her are you and Song Rong."
Song Rong was not among the crowd, so they only stared at Guo Guo.
"Then why did she commit suicide?" Tang Xinjue suddenly asked a question: "The amount of money she was cheated of is not very large. If you feel distressed, you can talk to two friends, but you choose such an extreme method. Isn't it Suspicious?"
The faces of the girls suddenly changed: "What do you mean, is the victim culpable? You can't be sad and depressed if you don't have a lot of money cheated? You can't collapse and commit suicide if you have friends around? Who made the rules? The two of you one?"
Guo Guo: "..."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, she resolutely blamed it: "It has nothing to do with me, she said it all alone!"
Tang Xinjue, who was pulled away instantly: "..."
Fortunately, the girls' attitudes just became worse, and they didn't continue to attack. They insisted on taking them to visit the dormitory of the other two victimized girls. Similar to Gao Wanwan, the "cause of death" of these two girls is highly similar to what appeared on the appeal form last night:
One fell headfirst from the top bunk of the bed to the ground, and the other banged on the window until it smashed its head.
In their dormitory, Guo Guo did not find any useful information. The crowd also refused to reveal anything, and only told her at the end that the school would send someone to pick up the appeal form today, and then they dispersed.
Back to dormitory 404 exhausted, Guo Guo relayed all these things to Zhang You.
"Will the school come to pick up the appeal form?"
Zhang You thought for a while, then picked up the appeal form and checked it one by one. In response to Guo Guo's guess, the girl named Xiao Huan's watch was the same as the three watches last night. Black water had gradually seeped out and disappeared after a while.
"So, what we can know now is that first, students who have accidents during the day due to various reasons do not mean they will die." Zhang You concluded.
Just like Sun Miao, who jumped off the building in front of them one day and came back unharmed the next day.
"Second, the student whose appeal form turns into black liquid will surely die."
In addition, I don't know if it's a coincidence that these "suicide" students had seen them directly or indirectly the night before.
"Third, the curfew time is after 7:00 pm. Between 7:00 and 12:00 am, there will be harassment similar to Hyakki Night Walk, but the lethality is not high. The real danger is that after 12:00, there is an identity Unidentified figures will enter our dormitory and choose one person to attack."
When they are attacked, they will lose all mobility for a short time, and they will not even have a chance to resist, so they will directly jump to the next morning.
"Fourth, there have been too many cases of headless ghosts in the school. In order to make the students stop talking about it, they arranged [evening self-study] for students to discipline us."
Speaking of this, Zhang You changed the subject: "Guoguo, the reward you said you got is a chance not to go to evening self-study, right?"
Guo Guo nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
"That means we will be forced to attend evening self-study at a certain time sooner or later." Behind the lens, Zhang You's eyes are serious: "If it's soon, it may even be today."
Guo Guo understood: "Before then, the school will send someone to pick up the appeal form... This is the opportunity we have to seize!"
