If he hadn't seen Tang Xinjue doing nothing with his own eyes, Guo Guo would have thought that she had secretly swallowed a bottle of life recovery potion... This recovery power is too outrageous! !
She looked at Tang Xinjue quietly: "We thought something happened to you just now."
Tang Xinjue smiled: "I heard, you are crying very loudly."
The pain and inability to control herself just now were real, but the pain came and went quickly, and now she didn't feel much except for the slight swelling of her temples.
With lingering fear in his heart, Zhang You asked, "What is that? Is it a sequela of some kind of disease? Or is it related to your nightmare?"
Tang Xinjue rubbed his temples, and explained: "Compared with sequelae, it's more like a side effect after breaking through a certain barrier."
Looking at the bewildered roommate, she didn't know how to explain it in detail for a while, so she could only cut the complicated and simplify: "Simply speaking, I found a way to temporarily curb mental pollution."
Open the [Physical Condition] interface, under her health value, the new message that pops up is green writing that has never been seen before:
[Mind Control (Level 1): The first step in control is self-control. Additional attributes: immunity +5]
[Note: Self-created skills will be hidden under the five-dimensional attributes, and attribute additions will become permanent gains, which will not disappear due to skill degradation]
[Energetic (positive buff): Mental power is improved, all negative states are cleared, and health values are greatly recovered]
Create your own skills!
This time, even Tang Xinjue was a little surprised.
From the moment the new buff appeared, although she had a vague premonition that this ability would advance with the breakthrough, she did not expect it to advance so quickly.
It's just... It's like there is a blank space in the game's database, as long as someone creates a "new thing", they can't wait to enter it.
Thinking of the last exam, all kinds of strange achievement points were lit up in the dormitory, and even the toilet flushing effect was all due to her DIY ability... Tang Xinjue seemed to be grasping a ball of wool and noticed some subtleties.
But now is not the time to think about that.
She suppressed her thoughts and returned to the main topic: "Sorry, I disrupted everyone's plans. Let's go back to the closet as soon as possible. The third reaper will come over at some point..."
Before she finished speaking, her voice paused.
Among the 12 light spots, the dimmed light spots changed from two to three!
Seeing this scene, the others were also startled and looked at each other in blank dismay.
Has the third Reaper arrived? when
"No, it didn't come here." Tang Xinjue's eyes lit up after realizing the key point: "It's just that it didn't come here at all!"
"The rule we originally thought was that every reaper would inspect all the dormitories before leaving."
Tang Xinjue explained quickly: "But now it seems that this may not be the case—each Reaper's patrol range may be different."
Some will come to their dormitory, some will not. But when they leave, the light spots will also dim, indicating that a danger has disappeared.
Zhang You also reacted, with a hint of joy in his eyes: "That is to say, we don't need to avoid 12 Reapers in a row?"
If they are lucky, as long as they successfully escape a few, they will be able to survive!
Guo Guo and Zheng Wanqing looked at each other:
"We don't know how many dormitories are participating in this test, nor do we know the radiation range and selection criteria of each reaper. Maybe it's random, maybe it's not."
After a brief surprise, Tang Xinjue calmed down, "We still have to prepare for the worst. From now on, we will hide in the closet until the last light goes out."
"Are you sure you're alright, Xinjue?" Zhang You was still worried. The appearance of Tang Xinjue falling to the ground just now was too frightening. Even seeing the recovery of health with his own eyes is still scary.
Although she didn't know the details, she could tell that Tang Xinjue made it through to "breakthrough". But what if you don't make it through next time
Tang Xinjue nodded: "Don't worry."
Without further ado, they hurried back into the closet.
Guo Guo whispered: "Fortunately, I don't have claustrophobia."
The closet was too narrow to move, it was cold and stuffy, and it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. It was a test of endurance.
Tang Xinjue comforted: "If it's really difficult, you can take a nap."
Guo Guo: "..."
Is this an occasion to sleep through? !
But for some reason, perhaps because Tang Xinjue was too calm beside him, after a while, Guo Guo really didn't have any miscellaneous thoughts, and even slowly closed his eyes.
Even until the coldness hits like a tide.
This time, the faint scent of flowers spread in the room, and Tang Xinjue took the initiative to close his perception again, so he only smelled a very faint smell, accompanied by a little irritability inexplicably rising in his heart.
The moment the strange feeling appeared, she was sure—this disturbing, irritable aroma was specially used to search for hidden prey.
The scent has little effect on her. Guo Guo is timid, and being restless will only make her shrink tighter, and it is impossible for her to run away suddenly. As for the other closet…
Tang Xinjue opened her eyes suddenly, through the darkness and the cabinet door, she carefully caught the movement outside.
Zhang You is cautious and meticulous, but Zheng Wanqing has a grumpy and violent personality. If you don't guard against inhaling too much aroma, coupled with the depression in the cabinet space, you may not be able to control your emotions.
Once the movement is made, the probability of being discovered is almost 100%!
And the only way - just see if Zhang You can control the situation in time.
Tang Xinjue guessed right.
At the same time, in the closet on the right side of the dormitory door, Zheng Wanqing was leaning against the thick quilt, her eyebrows were wrinkled so that she could sink into the water, and her teeth were clenched.
It was as if a fire was burning in her chest—she had never been so irritable before, and even the flood of water in the computer after a week of hard work did not drive her crazy at this moment.
Once the negative emotions are turned on, they can't stop surging up, and even feel self-defeating about the current situation: Is it really useful for them to hide here? Isn't it a dead end to be discovered
It's okay to die, the key is to die so aggrieved that you don't even have the chance to struggle for the last time, so you might as well go out and fight to the death...
Her shoulders were suddenly pressed hard, and Zheng Wanqing came back to her senses, and found that she had put her hands on the door of the cupboard without knowing it, and she could push it open with just a little effort!
Unable to speak in the dark, Zhang You grabbed her arm, pulled it back and pressed it tightly, controlling her so that she would not move around.
After this, Zheng Wanqing also became more awake, and a layer of cold sweat broke out in the back of her heart, reflecting that her state was not right.
... is the aroma!
The cold fragrance floated in through the gaps in the closet, even though most of the ventilation holes had been blocked. Fortunately, Zhang You had prepared face towels soaked in cold water in advance, and each of them had one face towel, which could not only cover the mouth and nose but also refresh the mind. After being blocked, Zheng Wanqing didn't feel so uncomfortable.
After about a few minutes, the aroma gradually dissipated. Another point of light turned gray.
They survived again.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5..." Guo Guo counted in a low voice, ready to cry: "There are still six lights on, please don't choose our dormitory again, don't come, don't come, don't come..."
Before the words were finished, another spot of light suddenly turned yellow, and within a few seconds it quickly became red again!
Guo Guo stopped speaking abruptly, and swallowed the prayers.
This time, there was silence in the bedroom for several minutes.
The sound came from outside the corridor.
First came the sound of footsteps, from far to near, calmly, and finally stopped outside the bedroom door. Then, the doorknob pressed—
With a creak, the bedroom door was opened.
"Huh?"
A youthful voice sounded at the door.
"Is there no one here? That's strange. Has it been taken away?"
The young voice murmured twice to himself, and stepped into the house.
The sound of footsteps passed over the closet and moved into the room, chairs and other objects were randomly overturned, and fell to the ground with a bang.
Listening to the voice outside, the four people hiding in the closet were startled:
This "Reaper" turned out to be a person? !
Compared with the previous monster images, "people" who can think normally like NPCs are undoubtedly more dangerous to them.
Because what they can think of, others can naturally think of.
Sure enough, after a while, the boy's voice sounded again.
"There is no sign that it has been harvested. It seems that people are still there, but..."
Footsteps came towards the door again, and everyone's hearts were so high that they almost jumped to their throats.
Finally, the voice settled by the closet.
"Just hide it."
Tang Xinjue pursed her lips and squeezed the toilet tightly.
At the same time, there was a sudden explosion outside the corridor, as if something exploded, shaking the whole space a few times, and buzzing in the ears.
The reaper outside the closet also attracted attention, moved his footsteps to the door, and complained: "Oh, it's fighting again, if I knew it, I would have come earlier, what a disappointment..."
The bedroom door was closed, blocking out most of the sound.
It took some time before Guo Guo felt that she could catch her breath. She watched Tang Xinjue open the phone interface, and the red light spot was particularly dazzling.
One, two, three... three red dots light up at the same time!
Here at the same time, three Reapers?
However, doesn't the exam rule say that only one reaper will appear at a time
Guo Guo looked up at Tang Xinjue in astonishment. Under the dim light, Tang Xinjue's expression was also unclear, and finally made a mouthful: "Wait."
If the rules are really unbreakable, then the Reaper breaks the rules and the game must react.
Right now, they can only wait and see.
But as time passed, the sound outside the door did not stop, but intensified, and the flickering red spots did not decrease but increased, but the examination rules did not seem to notice it, and did not give any reminder.
How is this going
Tang Xinjue frowned.
In the face of unreasonable situations, it is natural not to use common sense to judge.
After the rapid thinking diverges, a possibility finally forms in the mind.
Perhaps, the Reapers have some way to temporarily block the exam rules. Therefore, even if they violate the regulations, they will not be discovered and punished.
However, it is extremely unfair and unfavorable to treat the students who are taking the exam in this way... What if they take this opportunity to kill them again
As if exactly as she expected, the sound of footsteps that had already gone away actually showed a tendency to walk back again!
— How to deal with this situation
While thinking wildly, Tang Xinjue's expression became more and more calm, his eyes drooped slightly, and the color of his eyes almost merged with the suffocating darkness.
After a while, she suddenly turned on her phone and clicked on an option on the main interface of [Dorm Survival Game].

Tang Xinjue typed four words expressionlessly:
