"Classmate Ou, classmate Ou?"
Hearing Ah Nian's call again, O'Ruofei subconsciously shuddered, and raised her head to meet the girl's small oval face and dark eyes.
At this moment, she remembered the words of Ke Ke in bed No. 3.
—Are you so confident that this room is full of humans
Ah Nian opened and closed his lips lightly, his voice was soft, but a little too thin because of excitement:
"I didn't lie to you, there is really blood on your bed, if you don't believe me, look at it."
O'Ruofei subconsciously looked up, and sure enough, on the wall beside her bed, she saw a pool of bright red thick liquid that was slowly flowing downward.
One drop, two drops, a blood flower that spreads out on the white sheet.
"ah--"
Hearing the shrill scream from 917, Tang Xinjue paused. Looking at the hesitant roommate beside him:
"Zhang You and I went to the bathroom, and you two went back to the dormitory to check the situation."
Anyway, there is a soul connection, and if there is something to talk about directly, the risk of dispersion is greatly reduced.
The number of people in the corridor decreased by half in an instant. Because the screams heard were mixed with Ah Nian's voice, Jiang Lan rushed back immediately. It seemed that the girls in beds 11 and 12 also had teammates who fell into the house. After they retreated, there were only 6 people left in the corridor.
Tang Xinjue didn't look back. After upgrading her mind connection, her perception became stronger and stronger, and it was no longer limited to ghosts.
Even without "seeing" with her eyes, she can almost know how many people are behind her and who they are.
In addition to Zhang You, No. 5 and No. 6 followed behind. They still held fire-breathing toy guns in their hands, and they didn't seem to be hiding anything.
It's just that there is another girl beside them now, and Tang Xinjue recognized that this is Guo Guo's lower berth, number 10. The three seem to be closely related, and they should also be in the same dormitory.
Behind the three of them, walking at the end of the line was a lone girl with a cold expression, Zhang You's No. 7 upper berth.
Taking advantage of these few steps, Zhang You recounted what she observed in her mind:
[Number 7 should have no roommate and be alone like Orofe. ]
[11, 12, 13, and 15 are in the same dormitory, and it is the only dormitory full of four people besides us. Judging from their accent, they seem to be from Sichuan Province. ]
If there is no more information, it is basically certain that this is really a group copy. College students from all over the world were sent into this exam in units of dormitories to complete a task together.
It was the first time I came into contact with the group dungeon, and seeing so many people in one breath, it would be a lie to say that I was not excited.
[If single people are included, there should be a total of six dormitories here, and everyone in the dormitory should be very vigilant, and they all have experience in passing the exam... except Orofe. ]
Speaking of this, Zhang You paused, she had one more sentence, but she didn't know how to say it: [There is one more thing, but I'm not sure...]
But Tang Xinjue seemed to be able to hear her heart, and filled in the following words for her:
[All dormitories with fewer than four people have lost roommates. ]
…
It's not just a matter of too few people.
People who have never faced death directly in the dungeon, and people who have just experienced the death of people around them, will have different temperaments and states.
Although their dormitory was devastated by the exams, all four of them are still alive, at least in spirit. The other group of four, although careful not to have a sense of presence, is the same.
However, the rest of the girls, except for Orofe, all have more or less gloomy and overly aggressive aggression.
In other words, it is a strong sense of self-protection.
While thoughts were rushing, the scene in the bathroom came into view.
The walls were covered with thick dirt, and the original whiteness could only be seen through the cracks. Only half of the ground was paved with bricks, and the other half was still concrete, and there were garbage cans piled up on the ground that had not been picked up.
But the dirtiest place is the sink—the sink has been filled with garbage such as instant noodle boxes, and the water in the sink is mixed with soup and snack packets, breeding countless bacteria and maggots, and emitting a pungent smell.
Although Rao had already adapted in advance in the corridor, the sound of retching still kept coming and going.
"I'm really, uh-do you need paper, I'm uh-"
No. 5 took out two napkins, thinking that Zhang You and Tang Xinjue didn't block their noses because there was no paper.
Tang Xinjue declined: "Smell is sometimes a clue."
No. 5 was stunned: "That's true, but how did you hold back?"
Instead of getting acid reflux, she chose to plug her nose.
As soon as the words came out, No. 5 felt that he was asking too much.
There are mountains beyond mountains, some people dare to confront ghosts, and some people can walk freely in extreme environments, and they are not envious.
However, just now to comfort herself, when she turned her head, she saw Zhang You and Tang Xinjue looking at each other and nodding, then put on a pair of rubber gloves, reached into the sink and began to search.
Number 5:"???!!!"
The four people behind were all stunned.
Although they were already mentally prepared for the cleaning, they did not expect the other party to be so decisive and caught off guard.
However, within a few seconds, Tang Xinjue took out a crumpled piece of cardboard from the bucket of instant noodles, washed it and saw the words on it clearly:
[9.8 Check hygiene cleaning rules... Check time...]
The rest of the characters were all blurred into a mess, and there was only half of the paper, and the other half was missing.
Seeing this piece of paper, everyone immediately understood: there are clues in the trash!
Clues were above everything else, and the few people immediately rolled up their sleeves and started digging out the trash without saying a word.
Five minutes later, Zhang You found a second clue.
She didn't know how to open the rusty faucet directly, and found the lower part of the paper inside.
[917 dormitory cleaning task assignment: dormitory public space (8 people), corridor (4 people), bathroom (4 people), postponed according to bed number]
"According to this order, the few of us are basically responsible for the interior of the dormitory."
Tang Xinjue and Zhang You didn't hide anything, and showed everyone the clues they found.
No. 10 said with some horror: "If we have started cleaning now, is it considered a violation of the task assignment rules? Will there be punishment for breaking the rules?"
"There may be accidents or danger."
Tang Xinjue and Zhang You looked at each other, "Let's tell the news to the students who are still in 917 first, so that they don't act rashly."
The two tacitly did not reveal their psychic powers, but turned on the call function of the APP, and told Guo Guo and Zheng Wanqing in the dormitory the information by phone.
Guo Guo breathed a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone, "It's a good thing we haven't started cleaning yet. Let's look in the dormitory too, maybe there are clues too. Oh, you asked if Ou Ruofei yelled just now? It's okay, it was a misunderstanding. Wait for you Come back and talk about it in detail.”
Misunderstood
Tang Xinjue didn't say any more, and after hanging up the phone, he said concisely: "There should be more clues here, let's find them out as soon as possible."
Zhang You nodded, took out one pair, two pairs... four pairs of gloves from his pocket, and handed them over to everyone, "You guys use this first."
The presence of gloves is not only a layer of protection, but also helps to overcome psychological barriers.
After accepting the gloves, the four of them were grateful but also a little surprised. No. 5 and No. 6 are the most straightforward: "Thank you, we may not be able to help you much in terms of brainpower, but if you encounter danger, you can call us immediately. The abilities of the three of us just restrain ghosts."
At present, we only know that No. 5 and No. 6 are all flame abilities, and their lethality is very impressive. Although I don't know what the ability of No. 10 is, but judging from this, it shouldn't be bad. Tang Xinjue responded to this thank you, and suddenly said, "Are you related?"
Zhang You was stunned, and after looking carefully, he found that No. 5 and No. 6 really had similar eyebrows. It's just that the height and clothes are different. At first glance, it can't be related to blood relationship at all.
"Yeah, you've seen it all."
No. 5 laughed, showing two canine teeth: "My sister and I have been in the same class since elementary school, and the same dormitory in high school and college. Now we not only break through the survival game together, but also the same one who has awakened supernatural powers !"
Now she no longer doubted the identities of Tang Xinjue and the others, she let off her vigilance and revealed her chatty nature: "But we don't look alike, you're the first one to tell when we meet, hehe."
No. 6 had no choice but to say, "Okay, don't say a few words, don't delay the business."
No. 5 curled his lips: "I just said a few words. This is the first time I saw a living person and I was not allowed to speak. I was almost suffocated. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. We are students of Beijing Normal University. I Call… "
"boom!"
The door of the bathroom suddenly closed without warning, interrupting No. 5's voice
They were startled, and No. 7, who was closest to the door, was about to push subconsciously, but was pulled back by Tang Xinjue: "Don't come close!"
It was too late and then quickly, a few dark shelled flying insects suddenly drilled out from the crack of the door, one after another, they turned into a huge swarm, flying straight towards everyone!
No. 5 and No. 6 pressed the trigger of the "toy gun" without hesitation, and the flames engulfed the flying insects, and the buzzing and crackling of the carapace were heard endlessly.
"It's still the revenge of those things outside the 917 gate."
Tang Xinjue picked up a few corpses of flying insects, and they turned into powder with a light pinch, and a wisp of black smoke rose in the next second.
Tang Xinjue's heart jumped, and he immediately reminded: "Don't use fire, this kind of insect will generate a lot of smoke when it burns!"
On the 5th and the 6th, they stopped quickly, but they were one step too late. After the flame disappeared, a puff of black smoke rose and spread rapidly, covering everyone's vision in an instant.
"Cough, cough, I can't see anything clearly now."
Zhang You took two steps back, the black smoke made her eyes sore and tears flowed, so she could only turn on the faucet to wash her eyes first.
Tang Xinjue pulled out the toilet bowl, the water sprayed from the rubber head can shoot down flying insects in the air, and the black smoke will also be reduced a bit, and insecticide can also have the same effect.
She Mingwu reminded: "This time you can't use fire, you should use water."
After the initial panic, a few people quickly stabilized their positions, and splashed water to clear the black smoke while beating flying insects around them. Not long after, the air suddenly condensed and the temperature dropped sharply, and several people were immediately on high alert: coldness often indicates the appearance of ghosts.
"Don't attack, this is my roommate's ability!"
No. 5 shouted to explain in the black mist, the voice landed in the cold air, and countless water droplets sprayed from top to bottom, covering the entire space.
The effect of "artificial rainfall" was immediate, and the black mist was quickly blown away, and the flying insects crackled and fell, converging into a black pool on the ground.
No. 10 panted and put down his hands, the fingers of both hands had a flash of blue, and they quickly returned to normal.
Water system ability, both offensive and auxiliary.
The three people in a dormitory have awakened attack abilities, all of which have strong output, no wonder they are not afraid when encountering ghosts.
Zhang You was a little envious, but he quickly checked the insect corpses on the ground, and after confirming that there would be no more harm, he took out sealed bags and sorted some of them for storage.
Just in case, after all this exam is over, it is possible for her ability to summon any "thing".
At the same time, Tang Xinjue had already pushed open the door of the bathroom, and the outside was empty without any figure.
"That's all they can do. They hide behind their backs and carry out sneak attacks. It's something shameful." No. 7 spat coldly, wrapped his hands scratched by bugs with toilet paper, and refused the help of others.
"It was my own incompetence that caused the injury. I didn't have a long memory this time, and I will be injured next time. Leave the help to those who are useful."
Number 7 walks away alone and continues to search for clues.
"It's hard to talk..." No. 5 muttered twice, seeing that everyone was busy, and hurriedly joined the work.
Fortunately, it is now 7:20, and there is still a long time before 11 o'clock, so there must be time.
…
At exactly nine o'clock, No. 5 squatted on the ground, exhaling weakly.
"It's so difficult. I really didn't expect it to be so difficult to find things."
Even if they have overcome their psychological shadows and searched hard in every stinky corner, and now including the full version that Tang and Zhang found at first, there are only four clues in total.
[Doorroom cleaning requirements: tables, chairs, floors, and beds are clean and dust-free, there must be no decorations on the walls, no rubbish in the trash basket, no sundries on the desktop, no stains in the bathroom, and no toiletries in the bathing area. ]
[Hygienic inspection time: 11:00 noon to 12:00 pm. The inspectors will score points on the spot, and any points deducted will be regarded as unqualified. ]
[Unqualified punishment rules: All dormitory members will be confined for one day. ]
"I feel like I can't find any more hints. We probably can't get through the cleaning requirements in two hours."
Number 10 was also so tired that his calves were weak. The main reason was that the bathroom was too dirty and smelly, so he couldn't even rest if he wanted to take a rest.
Several people agreed that they felt that they had dug the toilet thoroughly, and they really couldn't think of any other place to hide the clues.
Tang Xinjue looked around, and slowly frowned.
[Do you feel anything unusual? ] Zhang You's voice came from his mind.
[I feel that there is another hint here... maybe a very important hint. ]
But they haven't found it yet.
Others have returned in twos and threes, ready to communicate with the people in the dormitory. There were only two Tang Xinjue left in the bathroom.
"Have a knife? Give me one."
Tang Xinjue spoke suddenly.
Zhang You quickly found a utility knife and a paring knife from the storage ring, but both were rejected.
"Is there a bigger one that is as sharp as a knife?"
Zhang You thought for two seconds and snapped his fingers: "Yes."
Then she opened her pocket and pulled out a small metal spatula that she stole from Grandma Mayas's kitchen, "Is this okay?"
"Can."
Immediately, the shiny shovel shining with cold light was thrust into the wall with force, and slowly scraped upward—
A thick layer of dirt adhering to the wall, like putty that has not been pasted, fell off layer by layer.
A small poster was exposed on the wall. There were two exaggerated lip prints under the portrait of a non-mainstream star, and a few lyrical slogans written in a marker next to it. It seemed that there was no information.
Looking down, Tang Xinjue noticed that the lower right corner of the poster was slightly raised, revealing a little asymmetrical black. With this corner, the entire poster can be torn from the wall from bottom to top.
After tearing it apart, a piece of black paper clinging to the wall jumped into sight. The bright red writing on the paper was bold and eye-catching:
Do not stay here, they are all liars!
run away!
