After discovering this, Ruan Bai's heart sank slightly.
Without even thinking about it, she hurriedly jumped back, hastily dodged the attack of the ghost's hands, and at the same time kicked down hard with her right foot, kicking the ghost's head away!
She kicked it hard, and the ghost let out an angry scream, and at the same time the rope wobbled, throwing the ghost across the room.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ruan Bai hurriedly took a few steps back and hid by the wall.
"Squeak... ah..."
The ceiling trembled slightly due to the violent shaking, making an obvious and harsh pulling sound.
Ruan Bai held his breath and listened carefully, distinguishing the sound of the rope shaking in the dark.
Her hair was already wet with sweat, her clothes were covered with sticky blood, and a salty smell surrounded her, but she didn't care at all.
As long as she can hear clearly, she can predict the opponent's position in advance, and then completely deal with it!
"Squeak... cheep... um..."
"Squeak... ah..."
In the dull darkness, Ruan Bai's fingers were tightly clasped on the handle of the knife, his back was tense, and all his attention was focused on his ears.
Feeling the slight shaking of the wind, she jumped out like a cheetah that had been lurking for a long time, jumped up, and cut off the rope hanging from the ghost precisely!
With a muffled sound, Ruan Bai and the ghost fell to the ground together.
Supporting her tired and sore body, she quickly turned over on the ground, away from the ghost.
And just as she expected, because the ghost's legs were tightly bound by the rope, he had lost the ability to move, and could only wail in pain and unwillingness.
She knew that she was safe for the time being.
After confirming this, Ruan Bai sat on the ground and took a short rest.
It wasn't until this moment that she felt an unpleasant rotten smell all over her body. And her body seemed to be stained with a lot of blood.
After thinking about it, she exchanged a lamp with the system and turned it on.
Before thinking that turning on the light suddenly in the dark would make him unable to adapt, and even hinder his actions, Ruan Bai never thought about turning on the light.
But now, she can take a good look at this place.
After a burst of blinding white light, Ruan Bai narrowed his eyes and struggled to adapt to the bright environment.
Later, she was shocked to find out what kind of weird place this is!
In a basement that was about the same size as the confinement room on the ground, densely packed paper with strange runes drawn on it surrounded the walls.
The one who attacked her just now was a girl in the school uniform of No. 4 Middle School who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.
At this moment, her legs were tightly bound with special ropes, her clothes were stained with blood, and her hair was disheveled covering her face.
She crawled hard on the ground, letting out resentful roars one after another.
And above her head, there were four girls in school uniforms who were also hung and tied to the pillars on the roof.
Their seven orifices were blocked by something, and there were obvious and neat knife scratches on their bodies.
The blood flowed down their wounds, drop after drop, onto the floor, and gathered together to form a slowly flowing bloodstain.
When Ruan Bai saw all this clearly, even though he had expected it in his heart, he was still so frightened that he gasped.
Hanging five girls upside down for bloodletting is almost like a cult ritual scene!
Sure enough, there would be an accident in this school, and it must not be as simple as one or two girls being tortured to death.
As for why their blood lost its strong corrosiveness last night, Ruan Bai speculated that it might be because a man died on the male player side, which brought the ratio of male to female back to one to one.
The teachers and students in this school are all dead, only their players are still alive, so the ratio of males and females should only be based on the players, and the extra NPCs from Class 9 cannot be counted in it.
... Yes, so, whether it is Shen Qingyun or a newcomer, there is no need to wear skirts.
Ruan Bai suddenly realized that he had tricked Shen Qingyun again unconsciously.
However, if the female player hadn't died due to negligence on the first day, the situation here might have been discovered earlier, and the more information she could have grasped.
But luckily she arrived just in time.
Although she was also injured, she made great progress in the mission, which is not a loss.
While thinking, Ruan Bai stood up carefully, raised his head, and carefully looked at the girl above his head.
They fell into a deep sleep, motionless and without any reaction.
And for the girl on the ground, one of the ropes tied to her left foot broke for some reason, causing her to fall down, her consciousness gradually became clear, and she could swing through the remaining rope tied to her right foot.
Ruan Bai remembered last night, he could smell male blood, so he walked to the ghost on the ground, and carefully looked at its face under its hair.
Sure enough, under the girl's messy hair, her eyes, ears, and mouth seemed to be blocked by something, but only one hole in her nose was blocked, and the things in the other hole disappeared.
Perhaps it was because one of the seven orifices was not sealed that it woke up from its deep sleep.
However, where did the ball that blocked its nose fall
Ruan Bai narrowed his eyes and searched carefully on the blood-stained ground.
Finally, in a corner, she found the little ball that could block the nostrils.
It should be a small pill, and it still smells like cinnabar.
And beside the pill, there was a piece of paper with a sentence written on it: "Dieu est pardonnéparce qu'il n'existe pas."
This piece of paper is very thin, and it has gradually turned yellow due to the passage of time.
And when that line of words was written, it seemed that the pen was very hard, and the ink penetrated deeply into the paper, almost piercing it.
If it was before, Ruan Bai knew nothing about foreign languages, so he couldn't understand at all, and he didn't understand what this sentence meant.
But after she came out of the mermaid village, out of curiosity and Gu Buchao's compulsion, she learned a little bit about each language, at least she was able to distinguish which language this passage belonged to.
French.
Moreover, this is the famous line in "The Red and the Black"—
God is forgiven because God does not exist.
Out of nostalgia for the first game world, Ruan Bai went to see Du Wenshu's favorite "Red and Black", and knew this sentence in it.
After discovering this note and recognizing the sentence, something seemed to come alive in her mind instantly!
She hurried over and observed the broken rope at the ghost's ankle on the ground.
The breaks of the two ropes are clean, without any fluff after being pulled and worn off, but the one on the left looks like it has been broken for a long time, and it is stained with dust and blood, while the rope on the right has just been cut by Ruan Bai.
After comparing the two fractures, Ruan Bai verified his inner guess.
Sure enough, it was not an accident that this girl could wake up.
Her rope was cut off, but the person who rescued her might have had an accident, so only one rope was broken, and the other was kept so that she could still move around in the basement.
After discovering this, all the clues gradually merged in her mind, and finally formed an extremely clear and clear route—
Not surprisingly, the person who cut the rope and took the little pill that blocked the nostrils was Du Wenshu.
Both this girl and the four hanging from above exist in the form of ghosts, and they were not treated like this during their lifetime.
Ruan Bai can suspect that after they were tortured to death, they turned into ghosts because of resentment, seeking revenge in the school, so much so that the teacher invited a sinister master to capture their souls, seal their seven orifices and fall into a deep sleep. into this room.
Somehow, Du Wenshu discovered the basement and saw this situation.
Out of intolerance towards them, he took out the small pill, wrote down this sentence of condemnation, and put it in the corner.
As for why he only cut off one rope, it is also easy to understand.
After the ghost wakes up, it will inevitably be extremely angry, but its legs are bound by strange ropes and cannot move.
And when Du Wenshu cut one, it could shake and take the opportunity to attack him.
Thinking of the previous file saying that Du Wenshu had been suspended from school for half a year, Ruan Bai guessed that he must have been seriously injured before being sent home to recuperate.
It's not like she didn't doubt whether the situation of the five girls was related to Du Wenshu, but after thinking about it, it was unlikely, and Du Wenshu didn't need to put on a show like this.
She recalled that when she was in Mermaid Village, Gu Buchao told him that through Du Wenshu's diary, she learned that Du Wenshu was very interested in unnatural supernatural situations.
It was also out of this interest that he tentatively researched the connection between the mermaid and the mermaid's mother, which resulted in him being killed by the mermaid's mother.
What was going through his mind when he did that
The game presents these details to itself, but what is it trying to tell itself
Ruan Bai couldn't figure it out.
At this time, the ghosts on the ground were still slowly wriggling.
She fixed her resentful eyes on Ruan Bai, and stretched out her hand to continue to grab her.
Ruan Bai picked up the small pill, walked over cautiously, quickly grabbed the ghost's hand, and stuffed it into the ghost's nose.
At the moment when the nostrils were blocked, the strength of the ghost suddenly disappeared, and the whole body fell to the ground, completely silent.
Seeing that the ghost hadn't moved, Ruan Bai shook her with his feet to make sure it wasn't pretending to be asleep.
Seeing this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared to find a chance to return to the ground and continue searching for information in the office building.
Whether it is the malaria that is now rampant in the school, or the NPCs who are trapped here and cannot escape, and the source of the school rules she most wants to know, are still unsolved mysteries.
She couldn't waste any more time here.
However, she hadn't taken a few steps, and the system that had been silent all this time suddenly let out a series of questioning voices.
[Host, looking at the lonely, helpless girl who fell on the ground, don't you feel a little moved in your heart?]Ruan Bai: "..."
Wait, what does the system mean!
A bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart, and at the same time, the cheap voice of the system also came over—
[drop! Congratulations to the host, a random mission is released: rescue the trapped girl and bring her out of this hellish cage!][Because this task is simple, the point reward is 400, I hope the host will complete it seriously!]Ruan Bai: "...it's such a simple ghost!!!"
The author has something to say:
The system said pleasantly: That's right, this is a "simple and only related to a ghost" task, and it's called "simple ghost" for short, there's nothing wrong with it!
