Although Guo Guo and Zhang You have worked very hard, Shi Qingqing's emotions are still difficult to control, and she is always on the verge of collapse. In desperation, they had no choice but to take him back to dormitory 101 first.
Interestingly, when the two of them stood outside the bedroom door and knocked, there was no movement at the closed wooden door, only the dust falling from the knocking, which looked like a building that had been abandoned for an unknown number of years.
But at the moment when it was replaced by Shi Qingqing, an indescribable subtle change came over in an instant, the door became normal and clean again, and was pulled open with a creak:
"Qingqing? You're back!"
It was Li Qi who opened the door, her sharp eyebrows froze for a moment, she opened the door completely unexpectedly, and saw Zhang You and Guo Guo following behind, she immediately understood what was going on:
"Thank you, otherwise I would go out to find her again."
She was still holding a coat in her hand, which just wrapped Shi Qingqing who was trembling, and the latter gradually calmed down.
Guo Guo took the opportunity to ask: "Can we go in and stay for a while?"
With a clear expression, Li Qi nodded and replied: "Of course, you guys have been of great help, come in."
I don't know if it's because Li Qi cleaned up the room again, or because Shi Qingqing didn't stay there much, but the interior of 101 dormitory is obviously much cleaner than yesterday afternoon. It's just that the yellow paper that was torn from the window yesterday still hasn't returned to its original state. A large piece of black and white newspaper content was exposed. Shi Qingqing seemed to be greatly stimulated by a quick glance. come out.
According to this state, communication is even more difficult—Guo and Zhang looked at each other and decided to use Li Qi as the entry point.
But Li Qi seemed to know what they wanted to ask, and said directly: "Since I moved in, she has been like this. She has been much better recently than before, as long as she doesn't get lost at night and early morning. But since the fraud happened, especially after we were locked in the building yesterday, she has been stimulated and her condition has declined. If you ask her now, it may be difficult to get the answer you want."
Zhang You captured a detailed message from this passage: "...since you moved in?"
"Oh, I forgot you don't know yet." Li Qi replied frankly: "I took a break from school before and only recently returned to school. Shi Qingqing is my first roommate, and also the only one."
Zhang You and Guo Guo's thoughts moved slightly.
Shi Qingqing was stimulated after the dungeon node of the headless ghost. That is to say, from the timeline, Li Qi has never experienced the incident of the headless ghost, so...
The two said in unison: "Have you ever studied at night?"
The girl thought for a while: "I haven't."
Guo Guo immediately asked: "Then have you ever been attacked?"
Li Qi frowned: "What attack?"
Guo Guo gestured with both hands: "The ones that appear after 12 o'clock in the middle of the night may make people age? Anyway, it is very painful! Everyone is frightened by the news, but they don't know who the attacker is—"
Li Qi frowned deeper and deeper, and finally shook her head concisely and decisively: "I haven't heard of it."
Guo Guo: "?!"
etc? Why didn't Li Qi get "punished" even though she didn't go to evening self-study?
With doubts, five minutes later, the few people completely cleared up the timeline.
The time when Li Qi "returned to school" was a month ago, which happened to be the time when the talk of the headless monster was still in progress and the scam trap was just beginning. This also explains why when Li Qi read the contents of the newspaper yesterday, her reaction was completely different from that of Song Rong - she had no psychological shadow at all, and naturally she had no fear.
But in this way, a question becomes more and more obvious:
According to Li Zeya, the punisher will only stop after all the students have received the "education" of late self-study and kept silent. It can be seen that Li Qi, who is not shy about the case of no head, obviously does not meet this condition, why is she still safe and sound
[With the school's style of chasing and fighting fiercely, it shouldn't be easy to let go because only one fish slipped through the net. ]
In the spiritual link, Zhang You shared his own analysis.
Zheng Wanqing's weak voice sounded: [So, of the two of them, at least one of them is lying. ]
So now the question is:
Who is the liar
This is the only NPC who has shown a positive attitude towards them, and they don't want to offend them at this time. Guo Guo was racking her brains to recall what she would say if Tang Xinjue was standing here, but was suddenly brought back to reality by Li Qi's voice:
"I don't know what you want to do, and what questions and concerns you have about me. But I advise you, it's best to say what you want to say directly—otherwise, it may be too late."
Li Qi turned her head to the direction out of the window, and through the gaps in the torn newspapers, she could vaguely see a figure approaching the dormitory building.
The people from the school are here!
Looking at Li Qi's somewhat blurred silhouette against the light, an indescribable sense of familiarity came to Guo Guo's heart again. Prompted by an inexplicable impulsiveness and anxiety, she actually uttered all her doubts in one go. He even said that Zheng Wanqing was attacked last night and that his life was in danger today.
"Guoguo!"
Zhang You grabbed her tightly.
Guo Guo didn't need to be reminded by his roommate in his mind, Guo Guo also knew that he had talked too much.
It is undoubtedly a dangerous behavior to disclose too much information, especially related to the safety of the team, to the NPC. However, if Li Qi's friendliness and sense of security are an exceptionally clever disguise, it may bring unpredictable losses.
What's more, whether it is Li Qi or Li Zeya's "normal", it is only compared to other students who are more weird. As long as it is a little fair, this dungeon has no completely normal NPC so far, and it is impossible to exist.
—If you have to count, I am afraid that only Shi Qingqing who is driven crazy is the real "normal" state.
Looking at Li Qi again, the girl still didn't change much in her expression, she just nodded thoughtfully: "Well... I see, I'll help you to look at it."
At this time, there was movement from the main entrance of the dormitory building. It can be heard from such a distance, it is obviously the voices of several adult men.
The people from the school have arrived.
Although he had already made psychological preparations, when he actually saw the NPC in front of him, Guo Guo still stood on his head with chills and almost took a step back.
Zhang You's hand rested firmly on her back, and the palm brought a suitable temperature, which was different from the scorching heat of the blood jade pendant, but had a more reassuring force.
This made her calm down and handed over the complaint form in her hand.
The person who received the watch was a thin, short middle-aged man with yellow spots on his face. His eyes quickly scanned the paper, and then he turned to the other two men in a polite way: one was wearing a Glasses, a smiling beer belly; the other is an elderly man in a black tunic suit with a serious expression.
The youngest macular man and the two met their eyes respectively, and when they returned to the appeal form, they were full of contempt and disgust: "What is this?"
Zhang You was neither humble nor overbearing: "This is what you just asked for straight to the point."
Macular man: "..."
"Oh—" He raised his eyebrows in a strange way: "This is what you claimed to be dissatisfied with the school's investigation results, did not abide by the school's regulations, and finally organized it for several days, and tinkered with it yourself? Huh?"
A stack of papers was slammed back:
"What a piece of rubbish!"
Among the papers flying in the air, the beer belly with glasses spoke slowly:
"Classmates, you are already adults. We are a university here, not a nine-year compulsory education, nor is it a place for you to play your temper. The school has given you the opportunity to give feedback. At the very least, you must follow the rules and procedures and report relevant ..." He glanced at the paper on the ground: "...the documents are sorted out, so that it will be more convenient for the school to approve it, instead of delaying the leaders' time. Understand?"
Just as 606 was worried at the beginning, the man really grasped the problem of the incomplete number of appeal forms and started to make a fuss. From personal ability to personality quality, to the rules and reputation of the school, he talked a lot, and the final core answer was one :
No charge.
Zhang You picked up the thrown appeal forms one by one from the ground. Regardless of whether he had the same high blood pressure as Guo Guo in his mental fluctuations, he remained calm on the outside:
"I don't agree with your point of view."
"Even if there are more students victimized, isn't the opinion of 13 of them important and worthless? In other words, there are tens of thousands of students in the whole school, and there are fewer teachers and administrators in the school. It can be said that your opinions It doesn't matter, is it a veto?"
"On the contrary, even if there is only one form, even if only one student has an opinion, the school has the responsibility and obligation to accept and resolve it. What's more, your so-called regulations and procedures are exactly one of the problems we want to feedback, how can they still be used Bind us?"
"You!" The man with macular spots was furious: "You are so arrogant! You have no leader!"
Guo Guo: "You throw things around, it's rude!"
If the other party's sense of oppression and malice were not too obvious, she would even want to say a few more things for Zhang You, at least more than the beer belly with glasses.
But Guo Guo still had to stop the car. At the same time, slight sweat can be faintly seen from Zhang You's temples: being able to say these two responses in a short period of time is already her limit.
Although part of it was dismissed, the beer belly in glasses was not very angry, and a smiling expression seemed to be printed on his face: "Well, let's take a step back, even if we accept your appeal form, what result do you want? As long as Didn’t meet your requirements, and threatened the school not to eat or drink to protest?”
... ? ? ? Obviously you locked us here! !
Guo Guo wanted to refute, but his voice was so viscous that he couldn't make a sound.
In other words, it is impossible to make a certain sound.
Facts remind them that these are not only three uncomfortable school teachers, but also extremely powerful ghosts.
It seems that there is an invisible rule restricting them, and it takes a lot of effort to speak every sentence of seemingly normal dialogue. And the more positive refutation and denial, the more energy will be consumed—even if it is just a simple "no",
This terrifying internal consumption of energy, on the surface, is just fear and speechlessness. From the outside perspective of ordinary people, it seems that it is really just two unspoken students facing three experienced school leaders, who are unable to give an answer under the pressure of the other party.
In the spiritual link, Guo Guo regretted not bringing Tang Xinjue and Zheng Wanqing down together for the first time. If the four of them shared the pressure equally, the space for laning at this time would definitely increase a lot.
[They must have used a certain skill to suppress you to speak and act according to the rules. If you are trapped by them, these conversations now will definitely become pitfalls in the future. Don't be delayed for too long, do it directly when necessary! ]
Although Zheng Wanqing was in a hurry, she couldn't come immediately, so she could only remind her remotely.
Zhang You: [OK. ]
Although they are still unable to clarify the intentions of the ghosts, but the hypocritical admonitions and silent fighting techniques in it make the ominous premonition stronger every second.
Looking at the "acceptance" of the two students, the beer-bellied smile in glasses spread deeper: "The school has worked so hard to train you, but you are so unreasonable and troublesome, which really chills the teachers. It seems that the school's usual education is not enough. In this way Well, tonight in the first teaching building, our director of moral education will give you an evening self-study in person!"
“… Has there been any progress in the fraud investigation?”
Zhang You finally made his voice, but did not refute directly, but moved to another topic: "The scammers were not caught, our appeals were not responded to, and the victims died in accidents one after another... But you want to educate us? Who will take these risks? bear?"
She changed the subject again and made a request: "We need personal protection from the school."
Several extended questions and turning points in a row made the answers prepared by the beer belly useless for several times, and his facial expression froze for a rare moment, until the serious old man next to him coughed, and he reluctantly gave up this question. On the line of the topic, he changed his mouth and said:
"Of course the school is also very concerned about your safety, but it's a troubled time right now. There are too many problems, and the teachers can't do anything about it. At most two security guards will be called over to ensure the order of the dormitory building during the day. You should also be more considerate of the school, Don't always make unreasonable demands."
… Wait, this sentence can be refuted!
Zhang You's eyes lit up, and he caught the logical flaw in the words and was about to refute, when another sharp girl's voice suddenly broke in:
"What are you kidding?"
They were all shocked, but they saw Li Qi standing at the exit of the corridor at some point, holding her arms and frowning tightly: "Four people died in this building last night. You told me to guard the order during the day? Why, are you Do people who are afraid of dying at night run away during the day?"
The three middle-aged men didn't expect to be interrupted suddenly, so they were caught off guard for two seconds before sending her away in a hurry: "What do you know! I've already said it, you have to be considerate of the school..."
"I refuse." Li Qi interrupted directly: "What do you understand, understand that you cover up fraudsters, understand your prevarication and inaction, understand that you don't give food or drink, understand that you scare my only roommate into a fool?"
The series of replies not only stunned the school, Guo Guo and Guo Guo also looked at each other in surprise:
When Li Qi speaks, she is not restricted by that weird rule!
The beer-bellied face in glasses turned liver-colored, and pointed at her tremblingly, "You, you have no discipline, no leadership..."
"The last school that emphasized discipline every day was my high school. Later, during another health inspection, I was expelled from top to bottom."
Li Qi said coldly: "You can't do this, you can't do that, I have a better suggestion, why don't you do it, and let someone who has time take care of it, okay?"
