After Yan Wei asked, he didn't say much, just played with coins in the sidelines, and waved Yan Mingguang to sit down too.
The man closed his eyes, walked slowly to Yan Wei and sat down.
After a while, there was another scream. As time goes by, although players find more traces of death triggers, more ghosts appear. Like other dungeons, the further you go, the faster the speed of the dead will be. Yan Wei had expected this for a long time, counting in his mind how many players were left at this time, He Luo beside him suddenly spoke.
"You already know about Qian Xuanxuan and I, right?"
Yan Wei nodded.
In the pitch darkness, He Luo's all-white eyeballs rolled slightly, making his pale face even more terrifying.
He said, "Come with me."
He Luo got up, straightened the school uniform again, straightened the hem of the school uniform, and walked forward slowly. This time he didn't cover up, he said he was walking, but in fact his feet were floating in suspension, moving quietly.
Yan Wei and Yan Mingguang glanced at each other, kept vigilant, got up one after another and followed behind He Luo.
Yan Wei is no longer in an immortal state at this moment, Yan Mingguang walks in front and back, and Yan Wei follows behind.
Not long after, He Luo led them around the dormitory building and came to the grove behind the dormitory building.
It is said to be a small forest, but the trees here are dense and tall, and it has not been cleaned for many years, and the fallen leaves are all over the ground, mixed in the weeds and the soil with decaying leaves. The branches and leaves block the only moonlight, and you can't see your fingers in front of your eyes, as if walking forward is stepping into an invisible darkness.
Yan Wei knows this.
In the past few days, a large number of players have been looking for them all over the school, and even this kind of small forest behind the dormitory building is naturally noticed. But during the daytime, there was nothing in this woods. When Yuemang's people were still alive, they also brought Yan Wei to search here, but there was nothing.
But at this moment, standing in front of this small forest in the middle of the night, Yan Wei felt the eerie feeling brought by this forest.
It seems that there are some cool things lingering here, the gloomy wind hangs over Yan Wei's neck, it seems that there are countless pairs of cold hands brushing by, and it seems that there are countless pairs of eyes watching from that dark place, In an instant, it made people tremble all over.
They stopped in front of this forest, Yan Wei's eyes were slightly fixed, staring at this uncomfortable cold feeling, and his perception was slightly dispersed.
In an instant, countless familiar feelings came from the dark grove.
— It is a retrospective illusion.
In the grove late at night, there are countless retrospective illusions. But the backtracking illusion here is not as murderous as that in Ankang Ancient Town. It seems to be just ordinary condensed resentment, and it will not deliberately attract people into it, and there will be no situation where you will die if you don't crack it.
He Luo's cool voice came: "After the death of Qian Xuanxuan and I, some strange changes happened in Chenxi High School, and the students began to die one after another. After we died, we all became ghosts, and there were several ghosts in the school. A change was found in the place."
Both Yan Wei and Yan Mingguang are aware of this—this is the drastic change brought about by the legendary props to this kind of dungeon with a low number of layers. Produced by the influence of the moon.
"And here, the grievances of all our dead classmates are gathered. Mine is also in it. It's just that I'm just an ordinary ghost wandering here. I can't enter this forest. I can only catch my own grievances. If you want to know, I can send you in."
Yan Wei blinked.
[Teacher Yan, I didn’t expect that this night would be the main event, the retrospective of all the dead students... You said what would happen if we bumped into it head-on?]
[Lost.]
[With me here, that's not called getting lost, that's called breaking through.]
[…]
He Luo asked them: "Would you like to go directly into my complaint and see what happened?"
"Okay," he said.
Yan Mingguang was at the side, speechless, obviously obeying all of Yan Wei's decisions.
He Luo had already raised his hand, and the darkness in the depths of the forest seemed to be slowly drifting toward Yan Wei and Yan Mingguang following He Luo's movements, Yan Wei suddenly said: "But I have to tell you something in advance, He Luo, I am willing to see your grievances. It does not mean that I am not vigilant against you, nor does it mean that I am at ease with you. It is just because I am not afraid of your tricks. Even if you are gone after we come out, I have plenty of ways to catch you again come out."
After the words fell, everything in front of him began to shake, the sky twirled, the dark night spread, and the sunlight entered Yan Wei's eyes from all directions.
He was slightly taken aback, and found that he was seeing a hazy day, surrounded by several bunk beds, and desks scattered with books and snacks. The wall clock on the wall stopped at 6:45, and there was a calendar beside it.
This is He Luo's retrospective illusion. According to the time, it should be the morning when He Luo and Qian Xuanxuan just entered school three years ago.
He immediately sent out his perception to look for the existence of Yan Mingguang, but his perception disappeared. It seems that this retrospective is only from the perspective of He Luo. He and Yan Mingguang should have entered the exact same retrospective.
When Yan Wei confirmed all this, the seconds on the wall clock began to move slowly, as if something was playing with Yan Wei's body at this moment—what is his current identity, he is just a sojourner living in this body Spectators, watching He Luo's every move.
The backtracking illusion has begun.
There was a rustling sound in the dormitory, Yan Wei sat up, and the boys in the other beds also got up one after another, put on their school uniforms with their faces crossed and began to wash.
Anyway, all of this has already happened, as long as his thoughts live in this body and follow along, he is too lazy to bother, so he simply throws himself into the spectator's seat.
He Luo walked to one of the small desks. There were many textbooks and homework books in a mess on the desk, and the school uniform was casually draped over the back of the seat. He Luo casually picked up the suit and walked to the washstand. The washstand in the dormitory has no mirror, and is so simple that there are only some small shelves for toiletries.
He picked up the toothbrush in his left hand, and his mouth was full of foam after a while. The boy in the same dormitory stepped forward and hugged his shoulders, and said, "Hey He Luo, how about we go to the cafeteria in Building No. 3 for breakfast today? I've been hungry for days."
He Luo nodded with a smile, rinsed his mouth, and said, "All right, all right, I won't pick anyway. Ah, I'm so sleepy. Fortunately, I just started school and didn't have any homework."
A few boys finished washing quickly, half-running and making noise to the cafeteria.
When he was in the cafeteria, he also met Qian Xuanxuan who was also queuing up for dinner with her roommates. The girl has long black hair hanging down her head. Although her facial features are not particularly good-looking, they are also delicate and clean like girls of this age. When seeing Qian Xuanxuan, He Luo laughed even harder.
At the beginning of school, He Luo and Qian Xuanxuan seemed to get along well with their classmates.
Most of the retrospective illusions record the scene of the deceased before his death, because that scene has the deepest impression, and most of the earlier scenes of this kind of occurrence will only flash quickly.
Soon, the scene in front of Yan Wei began to change rapidly, and he quickly watched He Luo's short high school career.
He Luo and Qian Xuanxuan were adopted by Tang Yizhuo's family when they were in elementary school. Although they clearly knew that their treatment was definitely not as good as Tang Yizhuo's, but under the influence of Tang Yizhuo's philanthropic mother, they both had good temperaments. The three of them were studying at Chenxi High School at the same time, and the friendship between young people came quickly, and there was nothing particular about high school students, and it took a while for a group of people to complete a group.
And He Luo has always been very clear that Tang Yizhuo is actually not as personable as everyone seems on the surface.
And on the contrary, Tang Yizhuo is actually a very hypocritical person. On the surface, he has a good relationship with all his classmates. He is the first in grades, and he is also the new president of the student council. It seems that he is very good in both character and ability. But once there are only the three of them in private, Tang Yizhuo will completely reveal his original appearance, and various supporters He Luo and Qian Xuanxuan will help him with things, and finally, in front of other people, he will take the credit for these things on his own head superior. He Luo and Qian Xuanxuan's grades were not good because they spent a lot of time every day secretly helping Tang Yizhuo with things or dealing with the aftermath.
In addition, Tang Yizhuo looked down on anyone, he always insulted the people in the class in front of He Luo and Qian Xuanxuan.
A good family education cultivates a person whose bones are broken.
He Luo and Qian Xuanxuan were grateful from the bottom of their hearts, they never complained to others, and they didn't dare to say it, they always thought that when they were adults, they would be better off than they are now.
Unexpectedly, since he attended Chenxi High School, Tang Yizhuo's vicious character has become even worse. He started teasing the other students in the class, playing pranks on the sly, and watching the people's embarrassment and anger from the shadows. When the incident happened, Tang Yizhuo pushed all these things onto He Luo and Qian Xuanxuan.
Gradually, Tang Yizhuo has always been the president of the student council who is an excellent gentleman in the eyes of teachers and all students, but He Luo and Qian Xuanxuan are increasingly hated by everyone.
The hate gradually deteriorated with time and more excessive things Tang Yizhuo did, and eventually turned into bullying and exclusion.
They dare not speak out, and sometimes even go back to the dormitory, even the quilt is full of garbage.
He Luo once faced the simultaneous criticism from the teacher and Tang Yizhuo's mother, and finally couldn't hold back, saying that Tang Yizhuo did all this, but the reaction he got was indifference—everyone thought he was slandering Tang Yizhuo, like him Only children with poor grades and who have lived in orphanages for a long time can do this kind of thing.
The backtracking pictures flashed quickly one after another, and the sky in the picture began to become gloomy under the dominance of emotions, and He Luo's life was filled with gloom.
Afterwards, the figures around them began to become blurred, and they couldn't see everything clearly. The only thing they could see clearly was that Qian Xuanxuan began to take revenge on those who bullied them.
In the several scenes of revenge, He Luo watched from the sidelines. He seemed to be hesitating, taking a few steps forward from time to time, and finally retreated to the corner to watch.
Qian Xuanxuan carried a cage containing snakes and secretly put it down at the corner of the stairs. Her delicate face was full of gloom at the moment, and her black hair seemed to grow from hell.
As soon as she squatted down, she was about to open the door of the cage slightly and immediately threw it away, but He Luo suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her: "Forget it, what's the difference between us and them? And this is no longer a simple prank!"
Qian Xuanxuan shook off his hand, and said with a grim face: "Then I deserve it? When I go back to the dormitory every day, the seat and bed are full of rubbish from nowhere. The book was handed in cleanly, but when it was handed out, it was all messy doodles, and the teacher scolded me for not being serious. Even in the first class, I was worried that someone would suddenly spit it out on my seat , Disgusting chewing gum! We told the teacher, and in the end they made a false apology in front of the teacher, and nothing else changed. I have nightmares every day, dreaming that my skirt was lifted maliciously, dreaming that I was People push down the stairs, but what about them? No rules will make them pay the same!!"
Gradually, the fake stigma at the beginning became real, and the things that were wronged at the beginning gradually became what they actually did.
And later, the moment they were notified of being fired, they completely collapsed.
The last scene of this retrospective illusion is the top floor of the dormitory. The body where Yan Wei's consciousness is located has a dispute with Qian Xuanxuan. Qian Xuanxuan looked at him very angrily, and said that Yan Wei couldn't hear clearly—contrary to the general regressive illusion, the memory became more and more blurred at the end, and I don't know if it was because the owner of the regressive illusion didn't want to remember.
At the moment when Qian Xuanxuan, who fell off the top floor, was dragged off the rooftop together, Yan Wei suddenly closed her eyes.
Blinking again, the dark grove at the back of the dormitory was already in front of him, and on the other side, He Luo, whose head was covered in blood and his eyes were all white, was still standing at the original place. Yan Mingguang was turning his head to look at him, obviously he had just come out of He Luo's backtracking illusion.
"Have you seen it?" He Luo's voice was misty and gloomy, "These ghosts who keep killing people were killed by Qian Xuanxuan in the first place. She wants to take revenge on everyone who bullied her. She not only retaliates with a tooth for a tooth In the end, he quietly killed those classmates one by one in the same way he was bullied at the beginning, and even tricked Tang Yizhuo to the warehouse on the second floor, locked them in, and starved to death Tang Yizhuo."
"That starving ghost is Tang Yizhuo?"
"Yes. And I always knew that she was the one who killed people, but I didn't want to expose her, so I just watched it again and again. In the end... I still felt that she was wrong. I told her that she couldn't go on like this, but she not only They didn’t listen to my stop, and thought I was the same as everyone else, so they dragged me and jumped off the dormitory together.”
Yan Wei glanced at He Luo's terrifying head.
It turned out that these blood stains and cracked skulls were the cause of the fall.
He blinked, his pale brown eyes were like amber hiding dark light in the dark night, and bright emotions were hidden in his eyes. But the meaning in his eyes was unclear, and his voice was full of sadness: "Qian Xuanxuan is the murderer? You deliberately guided this, just to let us find out about Tang Yizhuo, you and Qian Xuanxuan, so as to deal with Qian Xuanxuan ?”
"... Yes. You can see that now, we are stuck here day after day, repeating those tortured deaths. I don't want to do this anymore, I want this to end, but I can't kill her, she is better than The other ghosts are all powerful, and they can hide and cannot come out. I can't even find her. We all have grievances, and she will disappear only when the grievances disappear. This grove hides the grievances of all of us, so naturally there is her Yes. The last straw that crushed her at that time was the disciplinary order of expulsion, which she threw into this grove in a fit of anger. Only when the disciplinary order disappears and her resentment disappears, can all this end."
Yan Wei walked slowly to Yan Mingguang's side, wrapped his pocket with one hand, and leaned loosely on Yan Mingguang's body.
The man's body seemed to be stiff for a moment.
He pretended not to notice, and continued: "Oh? Then why didn't you go?"
"I can't get in. This is the resentment of all the dead, and I am one of them. Once I enter, I will be completely absorbed by these resentments. That's why... I want to guide you to do this. Other freshmen are not as much as you have discovered , so I turned my attention to you."
Yan Wei looked at He Luo.
For a moment, he raised his eyebrows lightly, and said word by word: "Is it finished?"
"Huh? ... Hmm. Is there anything else you want to know? I told you everything I could think of."
Yan Wei chuckled lightly: "Then it's my turn to talk."
"-you are lying."
