"Now, there are quilts to cover and food to eat." Li Hongying was not surprised, she pulled Jiang Xiaoli out, and a student ran past Li Hongying in a panic while wearing a school uniform.
"Ah!—" A female NPC next door screamed, as if frightened, but the student also passed through her in the next second.
"Is it a collective hallucination? Or a supernatural phenomenon. Is it what it used to be like..." a girl said with emotion. She is a member of the supernatural club, with a high ponytail, and looks full of energy. "Oh, maybe that's how the deceit can start?"
Players/NPCs all gathered together, they discussed and finally decided to go to the classroom to have a look.
The originally dilapidated and abandoned campus suddenly regained its vitality, and every desk that was still dusty just now was full of students. A thick stack of books was placed on the corner of the table. Some students were writing notes in a hurry, while others were holding their pens and wondering what they were thinking. Jiang Xiaoli looked at the back row, and there were even students who were sneaking around playing games and sleeping.
She glanced at the crowd who were about to go to another place to look again, hesitated and stopped. She stood in front of a classroom door, hesitated for a while and pushed open the door.
But no one cast their eyes on her. The door was opened by her, but perhaps it was still closed in their eyes. Is this just a reenactment
Some can be touched, some can be changed, but some cannot. …just give them food and a place to sleep? Or is there another metaphor
Jiang Xiaoli and Li Hongying strolled around the campus, it seemed that no one could see them. After thinking about it, she went to the teacher's office, flipped through the newspaper on the teacher's desk, and tried to see some clues from it.
"A senior high school student committed suicide by jumping off a building. It is suspected that the college entrance examination is about to be too stressful. Parents, please decompress your children."
Is it a rumor about jumping off a building? Jiang Xiaoli glanced at Li Hongying before continuing to read the newspaper.
At 7:21 p.m. on X, X, in X school, high school seniors were doing evening self-study. Suddenly, the student sitting in the first row by the window suddenly stood up, opened the window amidst the surprise of the classmates, laughed and jumped...
This afternoon, the reporter learned from the police that the embarrassing scene on the video did happen. After receiving the alarm at 7:31 that night, the police rushed to the scene to check. The police confirmed that the boy who jumped from the building suffered a craniocerebral injury due to a fall from a height, and died after being sent to the hospital for rescue.
"Too much pressure?"
Jiang Xiaoli flipped through the newspaper, but found no other incidents. When she and Li Hongying left the office, they heard a scream, accompanied by a commotion downstairs, as if... it belonged to the players
Jiang Xiaoli was taken aback, and ran downstairs with Li Hongying, surrounded by players/NPCs, and someone was already sitting on the ground crying. Everyone's face is ugly.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xiaoli pulled Li Hongying over and saw a pool of blood on the ground, but there was nothing. Under attack
"Where did you go just now!" A trembling man stood up, pointed at Jiang Xiaoli's nose and asked, "You were not here just now, did you—" He gradually became speechless, looking at Li Hongying's eyes full of tears. is fear. All the rest of the words were swallowed back into his stomach, and he lowered his head.
"What happened?" Jiang Xiaoli had to ask again.
The crowd was silent, and finally the head of the Ghost Club said: "We walked through classrooms... When we reached a certain classroom on the fourth floor, that person suddenly lost his mind while looking into the classroom. We have all passed away. I walked to the next classroom, but he still stayed there, looking at something from the window. He, he looked back and found something was wrong, so he went back to find the person, but after walking a few steps, the person suddenly laughed , The laughter was loud, but his expression was terrified, as if something was controlling him." The president of the Spiritual Society paused before continuing: "Then he rushed in and disappeared, and fell through the window."
"Is it a lie?" Jiang Xiaoli glanced at Li Hongying, it must be a lie. Did it come out because they found out about the report, or did the newspaper appear because the conspiracy was triggered? The time between the two is too close, Jiang Xiaoli didn't bother to remember the time. Couldn't tell for a while. Moreover, this game... the dead died too fast. She didn't even know whether it was the player or the NPC who died, but no matter who it was, it was a life.
According to Li Hongying, this game is both fantasy and reality, somewhere in between. Maybe in the eyes of NPCs, they are pure people, and they don't feel any difference between them and players at all. They have flesh and blood, thoughts and emotions... It's just because they are outsiders that they feel that the people here are all NPCs in the game . Jiang Xiaoli didn't think too much about it, and began to talk about her discovery: "I just pushed open the classroom door for an experiment, and the students in this school seemed to be unable to see us or touch me. Then, I went to the teacher's office to browse I checked for newspapers and found a report."
Jiang Xiaoli briefly stated the content of the report, and continued: "I don't know whether the report appeared first, or the rumors were triggered first."
"But what is the condition to trigger the deceitful talk? We have all gone to the classroom to see it, why is he... and, he is the only one who survived, right? This... seems to be bewitched, how can he survive?"
"Then you will only know after experiencing it." Jiang Xiaoli shrugged, expressing that he was helpless.
The person who asked the question was speechless for a while. experience? Whether you survive after the experience is still the same thing.
"Will you find any reports?..." Duane rolled his eyes in deep thought, and looked at his members of the Ghost Club, "Let's go to the offices on each floor and look for other reports.... Everyone's best Don't act alone, at least two people, so that even if the ghost confuses one person, the other person may be able to help." Of course, if the ghost has the ability to control multiple people, it is useless for them to have more people.
"Okay, then let's divide into groups. My name is Luo Mingjie. I plan to go to the library to find information. It seems to be in the event building. Who wants to join me?" A man in a plaid shirt responded to Duan's proposal first. , he looked around, and cast his gaze on Jiang Xiaoli vaguely, "I like playing games more. Is there anyone who likes to play horror games as much as I do? We can communicate a little or two on the way. It won't be too scary."
It's a player. Jiang Xiaoli thought so, but she didn't talk to her, after all... She didn't want to feel bad for a few minutes.
"I'll be in your team." The person who spoke was a young man in a loose black sportswear, who looked to be in his early twenties, and should be around 1.7 meters tall. He put his hands in his pockets, a little loose. "My name is Li Wenkang."
"Add me, Qian Zhongyi." The man who spoke was also a man with a kind face and a slightly fat body. He gave people a sense of honesty and honesty at first glance.
Jiang Xiaoli didn't stay much to watch the excitement or exchange any information. These people seemed to know less than she did. ... However, the man jumped off the building, it must have inspired a conspiracy, right? Is it the fourth floor? She's going to have a look.
This game should be able to leave when all five tricks are collected. According to the words of the game, five is the bottom line, so the more tricks completed, the higher the clearance evaluation should be, and the richer the rewards will be.
Suddenly there was a burst of piano music, which sounded very familiar, Jiang Xiaoli thought about it, it seemed like the city in the sky? ... It seems that the school likes to use various songs as ringtones.
get out of class has ended.
Jiang Xiaoli paused for a second at the stairway, she thought that she would hear the noise of the campus when the get out of class was over, or the feeling of the students being noisy. but no.
Quiet, silent.
Going upstairs, Jiang Xiaoli looked at the empty aisle, the floor and tiles were still clean, and she didn't return to the state of an abandoned school. But…
She looked at a classroom, but it was empty.
There is no one person, every table is clean, there are no schoolbags, no traces of anyone or any creature.
It's as if there are three worlds.
The first world is an abandoned school, which has been abandoned for many years and is full of dust, old facilities, and no trace of living people. The second world is an ordinary school, where everyone commutes to and from get out of class normally, and has normal activities, but there are no "players/visitors" from outside. The third world is also an ordinary school, but compared to the school in the second world, there is nothing in this school. No students, no teachers, clean and tidy.
Jiang Xiaoli thought of the first two worlds, and she thought, is there another world, the school of ghosts? The whole school died and turned into ghosts? —and turn on the battle royale mode at night
"Can I go to the fourth floor now?" Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help asking.
"Go, what if the ghost stays alone." Li Hongying said lightly, but Jiang Xiaoli became a little scared.
... The ghost who jumped to his death should have died a miserable death. Like Li Hongying's original form is quite scary.
Empty, empty, empty.
Jiang Xiaoli went up from floor to floor, and every time he reached a floor, he would take a look at the aisles, and they were all empty. In such a large teaching building, only the sound of her footsteps going upstairs can be heard. Of course, fortunately, only the sound of her footsteps going upstairs was heard.
"But how do I know which classroom it is?" Jiang Xiaoli looked at the row of classrooms on the fourth floor, walking from one to the other, looking into the classroom while walking, "Can you feel the yin energy?"
"Wait another two minutes."
"What?"
"Ring the bell later."
…
The familiar piano bell rang. Jiang Xiaoli suddenly appeared in front of a panting person running towards the classroom, holding puffed snacks and Feizhai happy water in his hands. This person appeared the moment the bell rang, and he was too close to Jiang Xiaoli, and he couldn't avoid it at all—
He passed through Jiang Xiaoli.
This scene was a bit exciting, suddenly a big living person appeared, and then passed through your body... Jiang Xiaoli rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, a little frightened. She turned her head and looked into the classroom. Students in school uniforms were sitting in their seats one after another. The classroom was very noisy, the kind of noise she was familiar with when she was studying.
At the other end of the corridor, a teacher holding a book slowly walked towards the classroom.
