Matryoshka Off-Limits

Chapter 107: Mermaid Coast

Views:

Not everyone has the ability to go down from the fifth floor barehanded like Ji Yuanzhi, so in order to speed up, he used props.

Despite this, Wen Shi still arrived downstairs before him and waited.

Wen Shi has a strong night vision ability, and the two sides are suitable for cooperation. After discussing it, they decided to go to the cafeteria.

There must be quite a few of the nearly 200 players coming to complete the mission tonight. The supermarket has a limited area, which makes it difficult to avoid pursuit when encountering danger. The school cafeteria has three floors, so the activity area will be larger.

The cafeteria has red walls, and the mottled look is somewhat shocking under the cover of night.

The lock of the gate was hanging on one side. The door was open. Ji Yuanzhi looked at the lock and said, "Someone has arrived before us."

The store was only on the first floor. Wen Shi had excellent eyesight at the moment and pointed in a direction: "Go straight to the left."

At the same time, it jumped onto Ji Yuanzhi's shoulder and said, "There are six or seven people hiding at the corner of the stairs on the second floor and peeking."

Ji Yuanzhi said what he didn't see: "There were no less than twenty people lying in ambush along the way we came."

When there is insufficient information, it is much safer to directly start looting than to complete the mission.

Each player has a different focus. Some will go out at three or four in the morning. The later it is, the more dangerous it is outside, and there will be fewer people waiting to rob. Others will choose to go near dawn. The team squatting above the cafeteria is not there to rob, but mainly wants to verify the rules of the store through other players.

But at this moment, they were deeply confused.

The light was too dim, and the players could only see with the help of special props. Then they saw a mermaid and a black cat.

"?"

NPC, or player in disguise

How do you explain the black cat

Just as they were about to observe more carefully, a player suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. He reached out and touched his neck, then looked upwards with the help of night vision goggles.

water.

I don't know when water droplets gathered on the ceiling, and the humidity in the air was several times heavier than that in the dormitory building.

The player's breathing began to become irregular, and the places where the water dripped on him felt cold to the bone. He couldn't help but feel panicked and reminded his teammates beside him: "Retreat first..."

Before he could finish his words, the player's blood began to flow backwards and his entire neck felt like it was frozen.

It’s cold. Very cold.

He felt a pair of very slender hands around his neck. The hands gently pried his head apart, and with the sound of breaking ice, the player's head was separated from his body and rolled down the stairs.

The night vision goggles were still on his head. The player opened his eyes wide, and before his pupils completely dilated, he saw several companions on the stairs.

A huge mermaid appeared behind them. The mermaid was at least two meters tall, with excellent body proportions. Its lake blue curly hair grew like seaweed, and some strands of hair were tightly wrapped around the necks of its teammates.

The player's head hit the corner of the table and his consciousness completely dissipated. He could no longer see, but he knew what was going to happen next.

This makeshift dormitory team will soon be destroyed.

Of course Wen Shi and Ji Yuanzhi heard such a loud noise.

Ji Yuanzhi knew that tonight's disguise was effective, but Wen Shi's worship of the moon was ineffective.

The mermaid did not prioritize attacking the thieves in the convenience store, perhaps because she was somewhat fooled by Ji Yuanzhi's appearance.

Unfortunately, this deception won't last long.

Several heads rolled down the stairs one after another. When they came out with the cake, the horrible mermaid was standing a few meters away. The air was filled with a thick smell of blood.

The moment he looked into those misty blue eyes, multiple thoughts flashed through Wen Shi's mind. These mermaid-like features of the players must be properly portrayed. There were indeed mermaids in the academy, hiding in the dark and watching their every move.

The mermaid pendant was put into the backpack and can be used at any time.

I take it out for self-defense, so it's not very important.

I just wonder if Ji Yuanzhi has any tricks to save his life... Multiple thoughts came together. Seeing that the mermaid did not directly attack him, but just stared at him, Wen Shi was quite surprised. Could it be that his transformed body really has an inhibitory effect on mermaids

Try it.

"Meow—" It first lowered its front body, assuming the posture of a cheetah attacking its prey, and then called out in a pretended ferocious voice. The moment it opened its mouth, the bread in its mouth fell out.

"… "

Very good, blood suppression is just a dream, the murderous intent is still in the mermaid's cold and cruel eyes.

The slender cat tail whipped Ji Yuanzhi's calf, signaling him to run. Wen Shi picked up the bread on the ground again and rushed towards the door at high speed.

The mermaids were elusive, and they were no match for them in terms of speed. It would be more effective for them to stand still and observe their possible weaknesses. Therefore, Ji Yuanzhi was a little surprised that Wen Shi chose to escape at this moment.

Wen Shi had good reasons to choose to run away. Firstly, his body was agile enough. Secondly, when he tried to show off his power as a cat, he saw a hint of himself in the mermaid's pupils when he usually stared at the little octopus.

That's the look you give to a mentally retarded person.

No matter what species, people will be more tolerant of the brainless.

They did not actually trigger the rules of death, and for mermaids they were killable or not.

“555~” Are you chasing me

An indistinct voice was heard while running wildly.

Ji Yuanzhi was a little impressed that he actually understood it, and looked back.

At the entrance of the cafeteria, where the moonlight only illuminated a small fan-shaped area, the mermaid stood there quietly, with no sign of emotion.

"He didn't catch up with us." said Ji Yuanzhi.

put

There is no acknowledgement that this is a successful battle to care for the mentally retarded.

There were gusts of cold wind outside, and the dim street lights brought a slight comfort.

The black cat stopped running and shook its tail. Ji Yuanzhi also stopped and used a dagger to cut an extremely thin and sharp silver wire between the two trees.

Behind the rule of not killing each other, players have come up with many new tricks: potions, traps, exploitation of rules and so on.

Black Cat looked at Ji Yuanzhi. There were only a few sparse trees under the dormitory building, which was not suitable for hiding and was relatively safe. However, it was still nearly a thousand meters from here to the dormitory building, and it was difficult to defend along the way.

Ji Yuanzhi stood still, his eyes glancing at the back of the fountain not far away. He hung up a speed-up prop and rushed over at high speed.

There were three players hiding behind the fountain statue. One was knocked down by a flying kick, and the other two were elbowed in the stomach.

Ji Yuanzhi controlled the strength very well, and it was the same when Li Nan attacked Wen Shi last time. Behind this was the experience summed up by various large organizations after countless experiments.

"Everyone, let's take a step back and pay 500 points..." He was still confused when he was ambushing, but now he is completely sure that this person is a player. The big guy was holding his stomach and was about to negotiate the price, but Ji Yuanzhi directly opened the anesthetic of the black car driver and forced them to inhale it.

He put a wig purchased from the game store on one of them, asked him to close his legs and turn to the side, leaning his body against the fountain statue. The other two were put in a kneeling posture. From a distance, it really looked like believers kneeling down to worship the mermaid.

Ji Yuanzhi: "During the time we were out, there must have been some smart people who went to the dormitory manager and reported that they saw a mermaid."

They only need to wait outside the dormitory building and wait for the dormitory manager to come out to check the situation, and then find an opportunity to sneak in, without even having to go through the effort of climbing over the balcony.

Using the bushes and trees to conceal their figures, the man and the cat avoided the main path. When they were almost at the dormitory building, they saw the skinny dormitory manager going out from afar.

The two players followed the dormitory manager as informants.

After hiding behind a tree and waiting for others to go away, Wen Shi and Ji Yuanzhi immediately ran towards the dormitory building in the distance. The door was open to the outside, and the cheap wooden door creaked in the wind.

The corridor was very quiet. Wen Shi took advantage of the cat's almost silent walking to explore the way ahead. Fortunately, the dormitory building was relatively safe on the first night, and they returned to the dormitory safely.

The door of Room 502 was not locked. Xiao Li and A Zhuang, who lived near the door, were very unhappy, but Jian Qingrong ignored them. Seeing that he was sitting near the door guarding it, the two did not care.

At this moment, the dormitory door was pushed open.

The corridor was pitch black, and they only vaguely saw a figure walk in. The person went straight back to the upper middle bunk to rest.

Where is Pei Wenwei

Could it be that he was killed by the NPC because of the report made in the afternoon? That would mean that this strongest newcomer is really unworthy of his title.

Xiao Li thought maliciously, what a pity, he had been planning to extract information from the other party so as to take credit for it.

After locking the door, Jian Qingrong paused slightly when passing by the place where the two people put the cups, and then walked to bed number three.

He was very tall, and he easily put the kitten on the upper bunk. In fact, he wanted to put it next to his pillow. In the dark, the soft pad of flesh stepped on the back of his hand, and Jian Qingrong couldn't help but pinch it gently with his backhand.

Wen Shi had never known that he had this sensitive spot on his body before. Coupled with the game setting that walking was painful, he felt numbness and tingling, and reflexively scratched Jian Qingrong with his claws.

He regained his senses quickly, and even though he controlled the force in time, there were still a few bloody marks on the opponent's wrist.

Wen Shi turned his head and wanted to apologize, but in the darkness he saw that Jian Qingrong's chest was rising and falling faster than usual.

He was excited, he was thrilled.

Thinking of Xie Tangyan's advice, Wen Shi lowered his eyes.

Sister, this guy is more perverted than you think.

·

Nothing happened overnight.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Ji Yuanzhi's alarm clock rang.

"You..." Xiao Li was startled by his own voice, which was as hoarse as a broken gong. He looked at his teammates nearby and said, "A Zhuang, my throat."

A Zhuang frowned and was about to speak, but his throat was also hoarse as he opened his mouth, and his eyes widened: "Xiao Li, what's wrong with my throat?"

The two men covered their throats and looked at each other in surprise.

Wen Shi glanced at Jian Qingrong and said calmly, "Maybe you have a cold. Go to the school clinic and have a look."

Xiao Li suspected that he knew about the report and retaliated privately, but he was sure that no one followed him when he went downstairs yesterday, and poisoning was against the rules of the game. In the end, he could only go to the school infirmary with full of doubts.

After the two left, Wen Shi laughed: "What are you doing?"

With Jian Qingrong's style, it's either poisoning people to silence or killing them. His voice is so vivid that it makes people shiver in the morning.

“A pathfinder. Through them, we can know whether singing badly will cause trouble.”

Big Eyes followed Wen Shi through two copies. Jian Qingrong knew that if he violated certain rules, it would result in accidental death.

Different dimensional spaces have different "laws". What he needs to do is to let Wen Shi avoid them.

Wen Shi thought silently, is he doubting that he is tone-deaf

The suspicion is scientifically justified.

With the zombies as a negative example, he felt that he was affected to some extent.

Across from them, Ji Yuanzhi threw a bag of cake to Jian Qingrong and Song Yan respectively. Suddenly, a broadcast sounded in the corridor: "All freshmen, please gather at the Dili Stadium before 8:30."

The broadcast was played three times in a row, echoing throughout the corridor.

Wen Shi finished the last bite of cake and wiped the cream from the corner of his mouth. The cafeteria was not open yet, and it would probably take another hour or two before the murder could be reported.

Before throwing the bag, he stared at the name of Linyuan Food Processing Factory for two more seconds.

Eating this cake can cover up the results of the medical examination. Doesn't this indirectly indicate that the factory is helping the mermaids to cover up their identities

share

"Linyuan..."

The name of this factory is very intriguing.

The packaging bag went into the trash can. Wen Shi lowered his eyes and thought, it seems that the mermaids' influence has penetrated deeper than he imagined.

Oh, and they might be rich.

After breakfast, Wen Shi changed into his school uniform. His golden body proportions made him look good in anything and he looked very youthful.

Without student numbers and class divisions, it is likely that whoever arrives first can have the physical examination first. Since Wen Shi had nothing to do anyway, he planned to queue up in advance.

Jian Qingrong walked downstairs with him, and Song Yan hurriedly followed. Only Ji Yuanzhi made the bed in an orderly manner and walked out slowly.

There was a small blackboard left in the dormitory with a criticism notice written on it:

Pang Chu, Pan Houhe and Shi Nuo from Dormitory 306 sneaked out of the dormitory building in the middle of the night and went to the fountain to disguise themselves as mermaids to create panic. They have been expelled.

Wen Shi withdrew his gaze, thought of the fatal silver line last night, and said softly, "You deserved it."

The gymnasium is built next to the basketball court. The area inside is comparable to the underground garage of a shopping mall. The light entering is limited, so the lights need to be turned on even during the day.

Under the old light tubes, there are four tables where medical staff are already preparing, with the tools needed for blood drawing placed beside them.

Wen Shi looked around and didn't even see a scale to measure height and weight. It seemed that the physical examination only included blood drawing.

When he stole the cake last night, he didn't count the zombie's share. The latter was going to school under someone else's identity, so he didn't need to care about any of the player's tasks.

As long as Wenshi is alive, the zombie can be summoned back at any time when it encounters danger. In summary, the zombie is the easiest and purest learner.

At 8:30 as announced by the broadcast, the medical staff started drawing blood ten minutes in advance. Wen Shi stood in the first row, with a long queue behind him.

The medical staff who came to collect blood had a sickly pale skin. Her voice was sharp: "Our hospital has the most advanced equipment. No matter what hidden dangers you have in your body, they can be discovered in time. Of course..." Her gray eyes turned: "The equipment can also detect some other things from the blood. Once discovered..."

She didn't continue, ending with a warning snort.

At the request of the medical staff, Wen Shi completed the registration, rolled up his sleeves, and watched the puncture needle enter his blood vessels. The red and warm blood was no different from that of a normal human.

He had three tubes of blood drawn from him. "Next," the medical staff said coldly.

Wen Shi sat there performing local pressure while waiting for Jian Qingrong.

The medical staff took a look at Jian Qingrong's name and waved their hands: "You don't have to do it."

Sponsors have special privileges.

Wen Shi even felt that this was the game's protection mechanism for the copy. Once the inspectors discovered that Jian Qingrong's blood was very special, it might be the beginning of a biochemical crisis in this world.

The class time at Mingzhu College is late, with the first class at 10 o'clock and the cafeteria opening at 9 o'clock.

At about that time, Wen Shi took a stroll nearby. The cafeteria aunt who was responsible for opening the door, after seeing the bloody and horrifying scene inside, her first reaction was to ignore it.

She looked around and saw some people on the roadside. She sternly told them to move away, saying that the cafeteria had been broken into and robbed and she wanted to call the police.

Wen Shi's eyes tightened. With such skill, this must not be the first time this has happened in the academy.

In less than an hour, the physical examination was completed.

Students started going to classes one after another, and the campus became lively for a short time. Some players tried to talk to seniors, but were met with cold stares.

Mingzhu College focuses on the quality of students rather than their quantity. It is very difficult for local people to get in, just like the college entrance examination where there are thousands of people competing for a single spot. Special admissions students like them are quite unwelcome.

Without a campus card, you can't go to the cafeteria. Most people rely on a piece of cake in the morning to survive. During the lunch break, the broadcast sounded again, notifying all freshmen to go to the auditorium at 3 pm to attend the opening ceremony.

At three o'clock, the huge auditorium

There were only a few hundred people sitting inside.

About twenty players died last night, and those who came out of the train station and wore hats or sunglasses to hide their painful expressions were mostly spared. Jian Qingrong passed by a new player who looked uneasy and had only played the game a few times, and exchanged a few words with him.

When he was wearing the mask of hypocrisy, he looked particularly deceptive, and when he sat down again, he said, "That person doesn't know anything, but he thought sunscreen had special uses, so he always carried it with him."

Wen Shi suddenly had an idea and decided to go back and check out the manufacturer of the sunscreen.

When I opened my backpack yesterday, there seemed to be a fragrant smell, which was stronger than the smell of ordinary cosmetics.

Ji Yuanzhi: "There are two forces competing secretly. The mermaids are in the dark and seem to have the upper hand."

Wen Shi nodded.

The person in charge of presiding over the opening ceremony was the dean of studies. Her hair was piled up high, and not a single strand of hair could be seen on her smooth forehead. The dean of studies turned the welcome ceremony into a criticism meeting.

She pulled out a few players and asked, "Who told you to bleach and dye your hair right now? Also, why aren't you wearing your school uniforms?"

Jian Qingrong was not wearing school uniform either, but the sponsor’s privilege came again and he was not scolded.

Among the players, there was a tough guy with a tattoo on his face. The dean of studies said sternly, "You, drop out of school!"

The man's expression changed: "I can wash it off..."

There are props in the game store that can temporarily cover it up, but they are quite expensive.

However, the dean did not listen to his explanation. He was determined to make an example of him and directly asked the security guard to drag the man who was still pestering out.

She stood back on the stage, her gloomy eyes sweeping over every seat occupied by a player: "Remember this, smoking, dating, dyeing your hair and getting tattoos while in school, these could all become scandals after your debut! Our slogan is..."

“Become the most shining all-round artist!”

Below the stage, You Shi's eyes lit up and he spoke this sentence more and more fluently.

The dean's loose eyelids drooped down, giving off a sense of oppression: "It's good to know." Her sharp lips moved in and out, and she emphasized again: "Don't let any scandals bring shame to the school."

·

School clinic.

The results of the morning's physical examination report are out, and the school doctor is working on compiling them.

Someone pushed the door open. All educators at Pearl College were wearing uniforms. The young school doctor's cheeks flushed slightly when he saw the other person.

"The dean asked me to come get the test results."

"Okay, please wait." The school doctor picked out twenty suspicious reports.

The visitor frowned: "So many freshmen have problems?"

The school doctor was sweating profusely as he thought of something. He took out another report and said, "Those are just doubts, but there is one freshman who is really out of character."

The report that was pulled out was the medical examination report of the wandering corpse. When the person took it, he asked, "What's wrong?"

The school doctor took a deep breath: "He is pregnant."

"… "
