The last time the lights were forcibly turned off was at 12 o'clock in the morning when the "punisher" arrived.
And this time, it was three hours earlier, which undoubtedly broke yesterday's procedure and further revealed the more dangerous night situation. Guo Guo and Guo Guo had already prepared in their hearts.
But when they saw the number of appeal forms that had changed, they couldn't help but gasp.
Much more than the first day.
The faces of girls with different expressions emerged from the paper one by one. The light range of the flashlight was limited, and Shi Qingqing didn't dare to get close to the four-piece set of red line props. Zhang You and Guo Guo had to light it together, and then used a disposable lighting prop to clearly see the appearance of all the appeal forms.
They were floating in the air, some were crying, some were laughing, some opened their mouths and shouted anxiously, as if they were reminding something.
"No, the light is too dim." Guo Guo already squinted his eyes hard, but he still couldn't see the girl's mouth shape clearly.
But in an instant, clusters of thick black liquid burst out from the complaint form, tearing up the faces of the girls and drowning them.
"Oh, I wasted a dungeon prompt." Guo Guo exhaled.
Shi Qingqing shook her head: "There's nothing to waste, and the dungeon didn't want to remind you at all."
Guo Guo: ... makes sense, but there is no way to refute it.
Zhang You went over and counted roughly, and there were almost a dozen destroyed appeal forms in this wave, which is equivalent to the loss of more than half of the victimized girls in this dormitory building. Among the few people left, there are also familiar names like 606 and Shi Qingqing and Liqi.
"That's right." Guo Guo suddenly remembered something: "Sister You, you..."
If the students who died that night were all because they had to repay the "price" of the virtual lover, wouldn't Zhang You, who had just purchased the virtual lover service during self-study that night, have to-
Under the dim light, Zhang You seemed to be smiling wryly and hooked the corner of her mouth, black blood slowly flowed from her nose.
"That's right, that's it."
Before the words were finished, several people seemed to feel something and turned their heads at the same time, only to see a figure appearing in the view of the balcony without warning.
This time, it was different from all the previous NPCs that climbed up to attack - this is a man!
The "boy" was just a phantom at first, but as he passed through the window and walked into the dormitory without hesitation, except for the blank face, the outline of the body became more and more clear.
It went straight to Zhang You.
Guo Guo activated the skill without hesitation, and the light of [Purification] lit up in the room, directly penetrating the boy's body, but did not cause any harm.
Shi Qingqing reminded: "Try with your four props!"
That's right, the set of props such as the red thread of the pen seems to have an abnormal restraint effect on ghosts. Guo Guo threw all the things to Zhang You, but these still did not stop the boy's figure from approaching. Immediately afterwards, a mouth split open on its empty face, and a strange voice came out from inside:
"Don't you like me the most?"
Guo Guo: "..."
Zhang You: "..."
You really have confidence in yourself.
Zhang You didn't seem to want to comment on this, but her hand still raised uncontrollably, strangling her neck back and forth.
"Zhang You!"
Guo Guo immediately rushed over, passed through the boy's air-like body, and grabbed Zhang You's arm.
If only she had done strength training well and was as strong as Wan Qing.
Guo Guo thought when he heard the sound of bones breaking.
The shadow of the virtual lover also disappeared, following the moment when Zhang You broke his neck with his own hands.
Guo Guo tried all the methods he could, but at best he could only freeze Zhang You like Zheng Wanqing did.
This skill belongs to Zhang You. She once told Guo Guo how to take over the skill book and use the skills in it if she died. When it comes in handy now, Guo Guo has already forgotten most of it, and can only imitate it with difficulty based on memory and props.
In fact, Tang Xinjue, Zheng Wanqing, Zhang You...everyone in 606 had confessed these things, but Guo Guo was only serious when he said it, but never listened to it seriously.
She always thought that it was impossible for her to stay in the end and bear everything.
Before she was 21 years old, she never realized that there were so many assumptions in the world, but they all backfired.
After an unknown amount of time, a thin layer of ice spread all over Zhang You's body. Like Zheng Wanqing, she was quietly placed on the bed in the dormitory, as if she had just fallen asleep temporarily.
Guo Guo stood beside the two beds and watched for a while. She originally thought that she would cry miserably, but when things really happened at an unresponsive speed, she couldn't cry anymore.
The counterfeit did not miss the opportunity to pierce his heart: "Tsk, look at you, I feel a little pitiful. If I knew the result would be like this, why did you persist for so long? I think you should stop persisting and just go with your roommate After all, wouldn't it be great if we could actually become students in the university town together?"
"You have to think clearly." Shi Qingqing was not sure whether Guo Guo would be swayed, but she still advised: "The various things in the university city are by no means the same existence as you imagined... the chance to live Only once, once you voluntarily give up, it is impossible to come back. Cherish life, it is precious."
"I know." Guo Guo shook his head.
For some reason, she remembered the group of NPC girls who wanted to take her away in the health inspection copy.
She didn't go then, and the choice won't change now.
What's more, it's far from the end... definitely not the end!
"There is a prophecy."
Guo Guo suddenly spoke.
"What?" Shi Qingqing didn't understand.
"Didn't you ask us before, did you offend any special existence?" Guo Guo peeled back the cocoons from his memory:
"We can't count the ones we have offended, but if we say [special], there is one thing that is more special than the copy NPC—"
"That's a candidate, no, a group, a group of candidates who are extremely closely related to monster NPCs."
Immediately, Guo Guo told the story of meeting Awan in the changing community.
The phantom that predicted the civil strife in 606, and A Wan's swearing that Tang Xin Jue will surely die, the curse of "bad student"...
These messy and mysterious information corresponded one-to-one with the experience since the exam, making it hard not to doubt the connection between the pieces.
"Candidates? Bad students?"
Shi Qingqing was also stunned. For the first time since she was summoned here, the content of the exchange seemed to exceed her cognitive reserves.
The basis of her puzzlement is also very simple:
"How can a ghoul, a product outside the rules, be associated with candidates?"
If this sentence is true, it points to another problem beyond her imagination:
This shows that there are a group of candidates who have also mastered the method of exceeding the rules, or even violating the rules to achieve a certain purpose!
"This is not a curse. Ghouls are not something that can be summoned by a curse." Half of Shi Qingqing's face was wrinkled, and the back molars were painfully grinding together, finally revealing a trace of inhuman habits and forms: "What the hell is the University City doing? Didn't find anything? After we've been locked up for so long, don't they realize how difficult the human brain is?"
Headaches belong to headaches. Under the new information provided by Guo Guo, Shi Qingqing really quickly found some corresponding information from memory.
"If candidates are really involved behind the scenes, no matter whether the main messenger is from the university town or not, they will not be able to find ghouls who have been in and out of the university city to do things under the supervision of the Education Bureau."
"In order to avoid being detected, this ghoul has not entered the core area for at least hundreds of cycles, and there is a high probability that it will always be wandering around these copies. In my impression, these conditions are met at the same time. It seems that there is only one, the one who is said to be very strong... "
In the face of the counterfeit who suddenly changed, Shi Qingqing's voice suddenly sank:
"Use my mouth to ask your name, Jiansheng, are you human?"
After the words fell, "Tang Xinjue", who had already rushed to the balcony like lightning, froze his eyes, as if his body was frozen in place. Immediately afterwards, the pale skin on her face cracked and fell off, revealing patches of bluish texture.
She, no, it should be him, like a large piece of cement that was squeezed into the girl's body and split by the sun, at the moment when she completely realized that the defeat was doomed, she screamed ferociously and angrily!
