"Teacher," someone kept calling in her ear, "Teacher, wake up."
Lin You opened her eyes and saw that the other party was bending over and standing at the head of the bed. The girl was young, only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a round face full of concern.
"I brought my dinner back from the cafeteria."
The girl shook the packed plastic bag in her hand, "Put it on the table for you?"
"Ah, um, okay." Lin You was still a little uncomfortable, she sat up, and the thin quilt slipped off her body, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
"That said, isn't the teacher sick?"
There was a rustling sound.
The round-faced girl was standing by the table with her back to her, taking out the lunch boxes one by one. Considering the patient's appetite, he didn't eat much rice, and served two vegetables and one meat with white porridge. Lin You sat down on the chair, and the aroma rose straight up. When she hesitated to pick up a few vegetables and put them in her mouth, she almost bit off her chopsticks.
It's as dark as a cafeteria in the world.
Lin You bit the half-baked bean with a dark face, thinking that she would not be afraid of food poisoning.
But the girl who lived with her was still watching with concern, so she had no choice but to take a few mouthfuls of bland food, and then pushed the lunch box aside under the pretext of being sick.
"I don't have much appetite," Lin You said, "Leave it alone, I'll eat later."
"Then why don't you go back to bed and lie down?" the girl asked with concern.
"I've been lying down for most of the day. It's okay. I'll look through the lesson plans."
Said that reading the lesson plan was just a pretense, Lin You flipped back and forth, and glanced at the negative status marked "cold" on her status bar from the corner of her eye, thinking that this game is not about smell and taste, Even the feeling of being top-heavy is so real.
It's not a dream, it's not time travel. The holographic game "Box", which started its public beta a week ago, has been widely acclaimed since its launch. The word-of-mouth accumulated since the internal beta has exploded, breaking through 100,000 active users in just three days.
As a horror and thriller survival game, it is said that the manufacturer has negotiated a lot of copyright cooperation, which also greatly increases the richness of the dungeons that the system can automatically generate.
The game strives to be absolutely real, so real that it becomes a great challenge to the heart and lung function. But the fun is really fun, how many people are so frightened today that they smashed the game cabin and went offline, swearing that they will not touch a finger of this game even if they jump from the outside, and wait until the next day—
—Hey, friend, playing Box
—Play around, it’s really exciting.
Everyone said that the hot chicken game ruined my youth, but the body was very honest not to beat it too much. As a veteran horror game enthusiast, Lin You was naturally not far behind. As soon as the game helmet was delivered, she couldn't wait to disassemble the express delivery and go online to experience it.
In this dungeon, she is placed as an intern teacher who just came to this high school, and because of insufficient teacher dormitory, she lives in the same room with this sophomore girl named Fan Jingshu in front of her. Woke up this morning and felt unwell, but the school leaders were very forthright and granted her three days of sick leave.
If it were changed to reality, Lin You would probably wish to raise her hands above her head to applaud the leader, but the name of this novice dungeon is "School Garden Strange Talk".
Let's not talk about anything else—that's right, a novice dungeon.
Speaking of this, I have to mention that, in addition to the rich plot and high gameplay, the most distinctive feature of "Box" is its career upgrade system.
Players can obtain certain skills and gains through their occupations. There are rumors that each profession is customized with an exclusive upgrade route, and the categories are also diverse. In addition to the popular professions listed in the brochure, there are also many weird hidden professions. thousand.
As for how to choose, the officials have already made preparations.
Once a player registers, they will be put into a single-player instance with different content and the same difficulty. After summarizing the player's actions, the intellectual brain center can automatically analyze the most suitable occupation for him/her.
Lin You was still curious about what she would be matched with.
Of course, her eyes swept across the room, so she had to clear the novice dungeon first.
Only the two of them live in the four-person student dormitory, and the other two beds are empty. If the memory in my mind is correct, the house number of this dormitory is "402", which means it is located on the fourth floor.
After thinking about it, Lin You decided to ask the ready-made information source in front of her for more information—Fan Jingshu was a sophomore in high school, so she must know more than her "newcomer trainee teacher".
"Jingshu," she said, "may I ask you something?"
The girl turned around.
"good-"
She hadn't even uttered the word "ah", when a burst of electric current flowed through.
The chandelier went out with a snap.
Lin You: "..."
Fan Jingshu: "..."
It's already dark, and when the lights go out, you can't see your fingers. The two stood and sat one by one, looking at each other in the pitch blackness, neither of them could see the other clearly.
Damn.
Lin You closed the lesson plan in her hand with a "snap"—this unreliable school has a power outage at night, isn't this the standard opening of a ghost movie
Wait, she seems to be playing a horror game.
"Jump..." Fan Jingshu whispered, "Did you trip?"
"should be?"
After all, she was mentally prepared from the beginning, and Lin You quickly adjusted herself now.
"You wait," she heard the noise outside, and stood up neatly, "Uh, I'll go and have a look at the door."
There were already people in the corridor outside, and when his eyes got used to the darkness, Lin You saw the girls gathered in twos and threes in front of their respective dormitory doors, whispering to each other with bitter faces.
"Another blackout!"
"Annoying, how many times is it this month?"
"I'm a little scared in the middle of the night. Isn't our school like that..."
"Then what" mean haunted
Before Lin You could eavesdrop on what kind of charade they were playing, a white light came over.
"Go, go!" shouted the dormitory aunt who was coming here and chased the students back like ducks, "What are you all doing here in the dark, the circuit is being repaired, go, go back to the house Wait and go!"
Relying on her identity, Lin You didn't rush back. When the aunt came to her, she called out to stop her.
"Mr. Wu, do you have an extra flashlight?"
The dormitory aunt squinted her eyes, recognized her, and touched her waist with an "ouch".
"Yes, it's just a little small." She stuffed the thing into Lin You's hand, "Xiao Lin, please help me look at it, it's not easy to run back and forth during a power outage—"
She complained a few more words that the students were difficult to control, and the aunt continued to slam people into the corridor.
Well, I got the first prop at the beginning.
Lin You lowered her head and smiled, turned around with a small flashlight, and turned on the switch. The room was somewhat brighter. Through the light, she saw that Fan Jingshu's face turned pale.
The girl in the same room breathed a sigh of relief, "...Fortunately, there is a flashlight."
Lin You didn't pay attention to her, and just answered absently, still thinking about what the students said just now.
Since it is called "School Garden Strange Talk", it must be haunted if it is really haunted. She is just curious about what will happen in this school.
When she was in middle school, it was rumored among her classmates that there was a headless female ghost in the bathroom on the third floor. The cleaning lady on the fourth floor mopped the floor with heads. The school was built on a cemetery. Come on - anyway, no one really saw it except for the last time.
Of course, despite the fact that power outages are commonplace among those students, this is the first power outage since the game started. Lin You can guarantee that, according to the usual urination in horror movies, there will definitely be some messes Things come.
"teacher… "
Seeing her meditating, Fan Jingshu over there couldn't help crying and said, "Would you like to talk to me?"
It was only with her sound that Lin You was called back to God. Although she knew that the other party was an NPC, Lin You still had a good impression of this little girl who took the initiative to bring her meals when she was sick.
"Afraid of the dark?" She asked with a smile, and poured a glass of water for her.
The little girl took the water glass and nodded hastily, "A little bit."
"Then shall we tell a ghost story?"
Fan Jingshu: "Pfft—"
"Cough, cough, cough," she coughed and wiped the water, "Teacher, you—"
It's really thoughtful.
"Just kidding." Lin You still smiled, "If you're afraid... where's your cell phone? Take it out and use it to illuminate the highlights."
"Teacher, have you forgotten? The school doesn't let us bring mobile phones."
... She really doesn't know.
Lin You laughed, and hurriedly asked the other party if she still remembered where she put it. The memory that the system made her inherit is not so clear, there are not many details, only a general idea of what happened in the past few days.
Fan Jingshu really remembered that under her guidance, Lin You fumbled for her mobile phone on the bed. Touching and touching, she suddenly found that besides the rubbing sound of the quilt and the fabric, there was another sound entering her ears.
She stopped her movements, and Fan Jingshu, who was sitting on the opposite bed, also seemed to be feeling emotional, and did not dare to speak, and subconsciously covered her mouth.
—like someone scratching a board with their fingernails.
She gestured to the pale-faced Fan Jingshu to silence, and Lin You took a flashlight and walked towards the source of the sound step by step.
She finally stopped by the bookcase next to the door.
From the very beginning, Lin You guessed that there might be something wrong with this dormitory with four beds but only two people. This is a horror game, to be exaggerated, who knows if there are "people" living in the two empty beds. Now that there is a power outage, don't think of something.
... Lin You thought for a long time, but still failed to awaken a little desire to survive.
Anyway, it is an entry-level novice dungeon, so it is unlikely that she will be instantly killed at the beginning. Furthermore, death is death, the big deal is GAME OVER, she must at least die to understand.
Thinking of this, the small flashlight in her hand fell off, clearly illuminating the scene behind the bookshelf.
Lin You subconsciously took a deep breath.
There is a gap between the back of the bookshelf and the wall, and in this gap, a flat face is squeezed there crumpled.
The dark circles under her eyes are too heavy. This is how long she has been cultivating. No, Lin You slapped herself in the head first, and the focus was wrong!
The woman's face was pale, her lips were black and her eyes were rolled up abnormally.
No matter how you look at it, it can't be a living person. One hand scratched the back of the bookcase, the sawdust fell from the nails, and the fingers were still moving forward inch by inch.
She wants to climb out.
In the next second, Lin You realized that the other party's purpose was not limited to this.
With only a little effort to get out, the inhuman sharp nails grabbed her face. Reflexively, she took a step back and saw the nail tip flickering past her eyes in a thrilling way. When she lowered her head again, she met the swollen eyes that were staring at her viciously.
Enduring the initial hairy feeling, Lin You regained her composure.
The choice before her was simple, she couldn't let this guy crawl out. Her gaze swept from top to bottom, and she let out a breath slowly, and even had a little expectation.
— After watching horror movies for so many years, she has long wanted to do this.
"It's not rude to come and go." She said pitifully, "Don't worry, I will be gentle."
The female ghost in the gap shivered inexplicably.
Still looking at Fan Jingshu here tremblingly: "... Teacher?"
"It's okay." Lin You turned her head and showed her an extremely kind smile, "Small problem."
The female ghost shuddered, and began to crawl out even more desperately under the control of her strong desire to survive.
late.
One, two—
Lin You moved her neck and shoulders, adjusted her posture, and slammed into the bookshelf with one side of her body.
three!
Several books crashed and fell, and under a considerable momentum, the bookcase also moved tightly to the wall, directly clamping the left hand that the female ghost was trying to get out.
"... Ugh!!!"
