For the whole afternoon, Ruan Bai has been observing the situation in the study intentionally or unintentionally.
First of all, the flow of time has been significantly accelerated.
That class ranking was like adding a catalyst to the game. The temperature gradually rose, the leaves on the trees outside became denser, and there were more and more mosquitoes.
Similarly, the number of students who were obviously infected with malaria also increased.
The students in Class 9 and Class 8 were the first to appear. More than half of the boys and girls showed signs of illness. Even in the hot summer, some girls shivered in thick clothes and couldn't stop crying for the cold.
In addition, many teachers were also infected with the disease.
Ruan Bai observed all this with cold eyes, and gradually, he finally confirmed his previous speculation in his heart.
In this school, the real behind-the-scenes bosses are not these teachers and students at all.
Just like in the first world, the core of the danger comes from the mermaid granny, not the mermaid she uses as a weapon.
Without borrowing school rules, these teachers have no ability to cause harm to players at all.
Sometimes, even borrowing is not effective all the time, Ruan Bai can refute it with eloquence every now and then, making it impossible for the teacher to punish.
Ruan Bai looked thoughtfully at the location of the principal's office in the office building.
Therefore, it is obvious that the real threat is the "school rules".
These teachers are nothing more than tools for school regulations.
Ruan Bai recalled the experience of last night, the teachers and students, as well as the weird blood in the confinement room, would all disappear during get out of class.
This phenomenon undoubtedly hinted at Ruan Bai, in fact, all their NPCs should be ghosts.
After 1988, something must have happened, causing the entire school to die here.
But their souls did not dissipate. Instead, for some reason, they stayed in the school, repeating the situation of the few days when the disaster happened.
After sorting out all these details, there are two paths before Ruan Bai.
One is to find out what happened in the school in the past when Shen Qingyun deliberately concealed it.
The second is to go directly to find information related to the school rules, especially the founders of the school rules and so on.
Considering the situation in the office building at night, she knew that she didn't have enough time, so she chose the second option.
When the dinner bell rang at 5:20 in the evening, she packed up her things and went to block Shen Qingyun at the gate of class 9.
Want to cheat her, right? Then she should appreciate how Shen Qingyun clearly wanted to kill herself, but had no choice but to please her!
But this time, what surprised her was that Shen Qingyun was not alone waiting for her at the gate of class 9.
He had the usual gentle smile on his face, and a newcomer followed behind him.
"Sorry, Ruanrou," he patted the newcomer on the shoulder, and smiled meaningfully at her, "He also made some mistakes and was sent to the confinement room, tonight, we have to be three together. "
The newcomer was in his early twenties, and looked like a college student with little social experience who was still in an ivory tower.
He glanced at Ruan Bai, the disgust on his face was obvious, he must have been brainwashed by Shen Qingyun.
Seeing this situation, Ruan Bai narrowed his eyes.
It seems that Shen Qingyun hasn't given up struggling yet, and actually found a foreign aid.
However, did he think he could be handled so easily
"It's okay, the three of us are fine," Ruan Baisi said, with a look of joy that didn't mind, "We can still support each other, and the possibility of surviving is even greater."
After hearing her words, Shen Qingyun looked at her suspiciously.
The newcomer behind him sneered and shrugged disapprovingly.
After the three people with ulterior motives said a few words casually, they went to the cafeteria together for dinner.
During the period, Ruan Bai talked to the newcomer twice with a good attitude, and helped him drive away the mosquitoes around him.
It's just that I don't know how this newcomer was fooled by Shen Qingyun, he seems to have a lot of opinions on Ruan Bai, and he is quite resistant.
Fortunately, Ruan Bai didn't care, he just smiled and didn't take it seriously.
Shen Qingyun watched their interaction from the side, although he felt happy, but maybe because Ruan Bai cheated him too much, he always felt that something was wrong.
But he turned around and thought, what could be wrong with this
He didn't believe it anymore, when there were two of them, Ruan Bai could still bully him unscrupulously.
After eating, they went to the door of the confinement room one after another.
And when 5:55 arrived, five minutes before class started at 6:00, Ruan Bai suddenly patted his head and cried out in regret.
"Oops, Brother Qingyun, Ruan Ruan forgot to prepare in advance!"
Ruan Bai stomped his feet, and looked at Shen Qingyun complainingly: "Brother Qingyun, why didn't you tell people earlier that you want to have one more person, the women's clothing that Ruan Ruan is wearing now seems not enough."
She frowned in embarrassment, and looked at the newcomer with some embarrassment: "Except for one large size that men can wear, the rest is Ruan Ruan's own model..."
She can assure you that Shen Qingyun absolutely did not explain what happened last night to the newcomer.
She didn't believe it anymore, a normal man would accompany Shen Qingyun to the confinement room after knowing that he had to wear women's clothing to survive!
"What? What women's clothing?"
Sure enough, the newcomer was stunned when he heard this, and his originally indifferent expression instantly froze: "Why are you wearing women's clothing?"
Shen Qingyun's heart also skipped a beat, secretly screaming that something was wrong.
"Because you have to wear it." Ruan Bai didn't seem to notice their strangeness, and replied blankly, "Didn't Brother Qingyun tell you that if you want to survive in the confinement room at night, you must wear a skirt."
After finishing speaking, she quickly bought two white skirts, one large and one small, and took them out of her backpack: "I thought Brother Qingyun was the only one, so I didn't ask anyone to borrow the skirts... You two, why don't you discuss how to distribute it?"
Looking at the light skirt, the couple's face turned green.
Shen Qingyun didn't expect that Ruan Bai could do this kind of thing on purpose, she thought he couldn't see that the skirt was changed in the system mall!
And why are there so many skirts of different sizes in Ruan Bai's system mall? Which escape system would be so boring, with a bunch of useless clothes on the shelves? !
"Ruan Ruan, stop making trouble," Shen Qingyun gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "I know you have a bad impression of us, but human life is at stake, don't mess with such an important matter, it really can't, Brother Qingyun my apologies."
"I'm not talking nonsense Brother Qingyun, don't look at Ruanruan like that, okay?" How could Ruan Bai admit it, she pursed her lips, and retorted in a low voice, "Besides, how could I know in advance that you are two people..."
Her eyes were full of tears, her little face was pale and wronged: "Since you can't trust her, then go and borrow the skirt yourself, she won't give it to you."
Seeing Ruan Bai's innocent expression, Shen Qingyun refused to let go, and thinking of the previous experience of fighting Ruan Bai, his eyes suddenly went dark.
He finally understood that she was really determined to let one of them wear a small skirt!
But the skirt is so thin and short, no matter which one of the two big men wears it, it will definitely be crushed!
Thinking of this, Shen Qingyun felt a drop of cold sweat slowly slipping down his forehead.
He looked back, and found that the newcomer who had been extremely convinced by him before was staring at him faintly at this moment.
Shen Qingyun: "..."
Too bad, they were alienated by Ruan Bai instead!
The rookie said sadly: "Brother Shen, don't you explain the situation?"
Shen Qingyun: "...haha, ah this..."
Shen Qingyun thought in his heart that you were just a cannon fodder for his back, how else would he explain it
Facing the gaze of the newcomer and Ruan Bai's smug smile, Shen Qingyun was filled with remorse, and there was never a day when he hated himself so much for his overreaching.
He was wrong, he was really wrong.
He shouldn't have provoked this woman!
God knows how this woman has so many tricks, I have worked so hard for so long, and I didn't take advantage of it, but I was played by her!
On one side was the newcomer's questioning step by step, and on the other side was Ruan Bai's sarcasm, the corner of Shen Qingyun's eyes twitched, and his head hurt more and more.
He didn't even bother to think of any reason to deal with the newcomer, so he patted the other person on the back, and said in a perfunctory way: "It's okay, trust me, the confinement room is very safe, and you will gradually like it... "
Newcomer: "..."
He didn't think he would like women's clothing at all, hey!
In order to compete for the only plus-size skirt, the two men instantly changed beyond recognition.
They looked at each other and fought with cold and heartless eyes.
After some verbal struggles, finally, the shameless Shen Qingyun won.
He got the plus-size dress and saved the small for the athletic rookie.
The newcomer stared blankly at the fluffy skirt in his hand, and shed tears of humiliation.
Ruan Bai witnessed the breakdown of their alliance with a smile on the side, and was also very satisfied with Shen Qingyun's later acquaintance.
When the bell rang at 6 o'clock, they were put into the confinement room and began their journey tonight.
Maybe it was frightened by Shen Qingyun's hypocrisy, and because Ruan Bai had always spoken softly, very gentle, the couple subconsciously stood beside Ruan Bai.
After the people outside gradually walked away, they started to move.
Ruan Bai recalled that yesterday, she and Shen Qingyun almost searched the building, but the information they could get seemed to be limited to the school.
And here, the only thing that they didn't plan to investigate last night, nor did they go to it, was the confinement room.
As night fell, the office building without lights was dark, and a strange smell with a slightly smelly smell filled the entire confinement room.
Taking advantage of Shen Qingyun's opportunity to pick the lock, Ruan Bai stepped back calmly.
Then, she squatted down and began to slowly explore the interior of the confinement room.
Wooden floors, somewhat damp, with mold in the corners.
The walls should not have been painted, it is a very rough earth embryo room.
There was nothing in the room, nothing.
There seems to be something wrong in one place, and there is a slight abnormality in the sound of stepping on it.
Not knowing where to go, Ruan Bai's foot touched a slightly raised place.
She slowly reached out her hand to touch it, and found that there was a piece of floor that could be moved away.
With a slight pause of her fingers, she quietly buckled there, and buckled the small piece of wood.
Under the plank is a hidden recess with a steel ring that can be pulled up.
It seemed that as long as she clasped the steel ring with her hand, she could lift something up.
Here, it should be a basement entrance!
Ruan Bai was overjoyed, and at the same time, she also heard a crisp "click" sound from Shen Qingyun's side.
"The lock is unlocked," Shen Qingyun said, "Let's go, let's get out quickly."
Ruan Bai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a chill running up the steel ring, slowly climbing up to her fingertips.
It was very cold, her whole hand was like being soaked in zero-degree ice water, and it was like being pierced into the flesh by countless sharp needles, stirring the bones and blood, causing her to groan in pain.
"So soft!?"
Hearing this voice, Shen Qingyun was startled, hurriedly opened the door and looked back—
Through the dim light of the setting sun outside, he saw the girl in the confinement room tremble slightly, and then, as if she was being grabbed by something, she was ruthlessly dragged into the ground!
Accompanied by a strange sound of water flowing, Ruan Bai's body passed by like a phantom, and disappeared completely in the confinement room.
…
Ruan Bai was grabbed by one hand.
The moment she heard Shen Qingyun say that the door was open, the wooden board she touched was suddenly pulled upwards, a pale and cold hand grabbed her, and pulled her in forcefully!
When the world was spinning, she only felt her body hit the wall fiercely, and the sharp pain swept over her. She couldn't help taking a deep breath and clenching her teeth.
Then, she pulled her hand violently, pulled out a knife from her backpack, and stabbed it hard into that pale hand!
At this moment, her brain was in chaos, she didn't think about anything, and she wouldn't think about it.
There is only one thought in her mind, and that is to live.
She wants to live!
Ruan Bai's knife was fast and ruthless, and he scraped off the opponent's two fingers cleanly, and also scratched a scar on the back of his own hand.
Without the slightest hesitation, she pulled her hand out of the opponent's hand.
Amid the thick and disgusting smell of blood, the owner of that hand let out a shrill scream, and Ruan Bai also took this opportunity to hide aside in embarrassment.
squeak... ah...
She bowed her body, leaned against the wall in embarrassment, and gasped for breath.
In the darkness, she couldn't see anything, she could only feel a vague shadow shaking in front of her.
And her body was also covered with paint, and there were bursts of dull pain in her abdomen and arms, which she forcibly endured.
She moved a little, and found that her left foot should be sprained, and when she moved, there would be a clear pain in the ankle.
In just a few breaths, she quickly analyzed her situation—
Can't move for long.
invisible.
Physical exertion is quite large, and protracted battles cannot be fought.
And the people in this confinement room should not be ordinary people.
It's a ghost.
Probably one of several girls who died in solitary confinement in 1988.
If he wanted to defeat her, Ruan Bai had to find a point that could hold her back, or he could only use his injured body to hold on till the end of get out of class.
However, she is a human being, she will get tired and get hurt, and ghosts, they are not afraid of death... and will never get tired.
"Squeak - ah -"
Sensing the swaying sound of wooden planks above his head, Ruan Bai hurriedly ducked down, hastily avoiding a blow.
In the next second, she resisted the stinging pain in her ankle, turned over and kicked the opponent's lower body hard, grabbed the opponent's head with one hand, and slammed it on the ground!
But the moment Ruan Bai slammed it down, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
The opponent's upper body seemed to be strangled by some force, making it impossible for Ruan Bai to pull it.
... Wait, why is there no hair on a human head
Ruan Bai's movements froze for a moment.
In the blink of an eye, she suddenly understood the other party's existence.
No, that is not its head, but its feet!
It was upside down... It should have been upside down by a rope and hung from the ceiling!
