After waiting for a long time without any reply from Wen Shi, Jian Qingrong keenly sensed that something was wrong.
"you… "
The fishy black tide flowed into the gap of the blocked front door, covering a large area in an instant. Wen Shi came to his senses and said, "Contact me later."
On the other end of the phone, Jian Qingrong was considering whether to go find Youshi to ask. Wen Shi and Youshi did not communicate, but the other party seemed to know what he was going through. There was a special connection between the two.
Not knowing what Jian Qingrong was planning, Wen Shi hung up the phone and looked at the girl closest to the back door: "Close the door!"
Without him saying anything, the other party had already blocked the back door with desks.
Not long after the table was moved over, there was a loud bang on the door outside. The old wooden door could not withstand such a blow and a huge crack appeared in an instant. A gray eye peered inside through the crack.
The petite girl who was blocking the door trembled a little when she was stared at by this eye, and the fishy smell of rotten fish made her eyes go black.
Just when her hands were unable to support the table, Wen Shi's low voice came from behind her.
"Get his attention so I can go out the front door."
“…” Are you speaking human language
Fortunately, Wen Shi's next words were human: "His target is me. The mermaid will definitely catch up with me once I leave. You can take this opportunity to leave."
Just when others were doubting the truth of the words, the mermaid outside the door looked past the person blocking the door and stared at Wen obsessively, with a blush appearing in the small area not covered by scales.
"Come." The seductive voice makes it easy for people to ignore the ugly appearance, "Come quickly."
He was seducing Wen Shi.
Wen Shi recalled the map of the library. He could run out of the front door and go downstairs smoothly, but there was only one corridor, which meant he had to pass by the study room. He didn't know what the situation of the players there was now.
The worst case scenario is that they will come out to block the road.
Before preparing to sprint, Wen Shi made a final analysis. The mermaid characteristics reflected in the player are also the mermaid's weaknesses - they cannot move very fast on land.
The door was still banging. Three people had already passed by to block the door. The remaining one asked Wen Shi, "Are you leaving or not?"
Wen Shi stood there indifferently and continued to think rapidly. They came to study because it was a mandatory requirement of the teacher. After teaching in the academy for so long, it was impossible for the other party not to know what was going on here.
Their information must have been told to this low-quality mermaid in advance, otherwise the mistake of twenty-two would not have appeared in the lyrics.
Jian Qingrong was right. The academy was not only looking for real mermaids, but also seemed to be trying to create mermaids.
According to the description in the book, there are many benefits of piranha meat.
"Low quality merman..."
Wen Shi's eyes darkened when he thought of the professional terms given in the game.
The college will definitely not allow these contaminated students to wander around the library forever, and someone will definitely come to recover the meat.
He turned off the lights in the study room and tiptoed to move the table blocking the front door in the darkness: "I'll remind you, if you see a teacher from the college, hide if you can."
The moment the front door opened, Wen Shi rushed forward without looking back. As expected, when he passed by the study room, he encountered someone who blocked his way. His stiff and twisted facial muscles made his originally regular features look extremely ugly.
This level is not even considered a low-quality mermaid, at most a fishman.
Wen Shi saw the scene inside the study room through the glass of the back door. Everyone has different physiques and willpower, and their current conditions are also different. For a few people, their facial expressions did not change much.
The mermaid behind had already caught up, and Wen Shi poured the blood that Jian Qingrong had given him on himself. The existing pollution source originally came from the deep-sea monster imprisoned in the sanatorium. It was a true overlord of the ocean. Jian Qingrong grew up eating his flesh and blood, and the smell of the pollution source in his blood was a deterrent to ordinary marine life.
Several players in front of them who were blocking the way instinctively retreated, but the deterrent effect was limited. For the low-quality mermaids behind them who were eager to mate, their disproportionate legs never stopped moving.
While chasing Jian Wen, he looked back and saw that the distance between them was still within a safe range. The mermaid's head was very small and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman. The gills on its head were opening and closing, and a strange liquid was squeezed out from time to time, which completely met the signs of Fa Qian.
“…” Exterminate them!
Wen Shi ran to the first floor and seemed to have gotten rid of the low-quality mermaid, but in fact the trouble had just begun.
It’s like a living person rushing out of a pile of zombies. The first thing he has to face is how to prove that he is an uninfected human being.
The evening self-study course was over. If Wen Shi encountered school leaders or teachers who came to fish, he was sure that these people who could kill mermaids would definitely be able to kill him too.
[One Sword to Balance the Situation] consumes too much energy and can easily break the invisible balance currently reached between the school and the mermaids. Assuming that the mermaids lose their checks and balances, these students will be close to death.
"We have to think of a way..."
He must prove that he is not a mermaid, otherwise even if he escapes tonight, he will still become a priority target.
Thinking of the mermaid's weakness, Wen Shi made a decision and clicked on the attribute panel.
"You have spent 200 points to activate the Walking Dead. Please select the effect for this use."
Wen Shi said without hesitation, "Run!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out like a motorcycle.
·
On the path lit only by a street lamp, two ghostly figures were approaching the library. One of them was holding a harpoon, and the barb on the tip seemed to be quite aggressive.
The moonlight shone on this strange blood-red harpoon, and even its shadow looked hideous under the streetlight.
The two holding the harpoon are Teacher E, who asked the students to come from the study room, and the other is the dean of teaching. They have been eating mermaids for many years, and contrary to their slender bodies, they are both extremely strong.
Eating too much mermaid meat is addictive. In the whole school, only two bald and fat school leaders are relatively restrained. The others have a huge demand for mermaid meat.
"It's a pity that we can only eat inferior products." Teacher E licked his lower lip with his scarlet tongue. "I heard that the principal and several tutors have eaten real mermaid meat."
There are too few genuine and high-quality mermaids now, and the school only has a small number of deformed ones in stock.
When she wanted to say a few more words, she saw a black dot approaching rapidly in front of her. As the distance got closer, the other person's face became clearer.
With the excellent eyesight she gained from eating mermaid flesh, she recognized the person: "Student Aaron."
Teacher E had an impression of this student. This was the first student she called on to answer a question today.
He reflexively wanted to clench the steel fork in his hand and stab forward, but he was soon shocked by the terrifying speed. The opponent was a hundred meters away in the last second, and was already next to him in the next second.
"Hello teacher."
Because the speed was so fast, she could only hear his lips smacking twice.
At a speed of two minutes and five miles, Wen Shi looked like a speeding car when he passed by them. The wind from the speeding car made her face hurt. Teacher E swallowed her saliva, not because of her desire for food, but because of the saliva she secreted after being frightened. Her first reaction was: "Mermaids can't run that fast."
The Dean's hair was neatly tied up, and a few strands were blown down by the strong wind. She pouted and pouted with a finger: "...Neither do humans."
The two looked at each other, so what on earth is this thing
Wen Shi, who was defined as an unknown species, successfully arrived outside the dormitory building. He stopped and his whole body was in a mess in the strong wind. The game weakened the terrifying effect brought by the strong wind, otherwise if he ran at the speed of a car alone, the wind blowing in his face would have the effect of scraping his bones.
Wen Shi did not go directly into the dormitory building, but first sent a message to ask if there was any danger upstairs.
Jian Qingrong replied: [It’s over.]
The implication is that things were not peaceful before.
Wen Shi then entered the shoddy wooden door that looked like a monster's mouth.
The dormitory manager did not rest all night. She sat quietly in the duty room. She was quite surprised to see someone coming in, so she walked out to confirm.
Wen Shi greeted politely, "I have finished my evening study. Thanks for leaving the door open."
Dormitory Manager: “Why are you…”
In the past, there were students who came back from evening self-study, but they were all in a very disheveled state without exception, and the earliest ones came back at three or four in the morning.
This student only had his hair messed up.
Tick.
When he reached the second floor, Wen Shi heard the sound of a tap not being closed properly. He stepped back in time and saw drops of water and blood. The bloody smell that rushed into his nose indicated that either a few people had died tragically and had to be disemboweled to produce such a heavy stench, or many people had died. Strangely, he didn't see a single body.
A faint light suddenly poured down from upstairs, the beams of light piercing through the railings, reflecting an oily glow on some pieces of meat stuck in them.
Wen Shi raised his head and heard the steady and calm footsteps, without deliberately making them lighter or heavier.
It definitely wasn’t a ghost. Just when a name popped up in my mind, Jian Qingrong had already come down from upstairs with a flashlight.
He had just finished a mission in a horror dungeon, and someone came to pick him up. This feeling was... slightly strange.
One went up, the other went down, and they soon met at the corner.
Wen Shi whispered: "What happened?"
"There are things circulating between dormitories that eat people, starving ghosts, and the like." Jian Qingrong was very focused when he spoke, emphasizing that the things that eat the students are not human.
Not a mermaid either.
Wen Shi lowered his eyes, thinking that it could only be the ghost of a student who died in vain.
The smell of blood in the air on the fourth floor was not strong, and no one was dead. The fifth floor was just like the second floor, and the smell of blood was overwhelming.
The closer you get to 502, the more pungent the smell becomes.
With the help of the flashlight, Wen Shi saw a large pool of blood at the door of the dormitory. He thought with a headache how difficult it would be to clean it up.
Jian Qingrong reminded that the old ghost could be released to do cleaning.
“…” He was tired of saying the word “filial son”.
Wen Shi asked Jian Qingrong to hide for a while, as he didn't want to face the old ghost who was greatly stimulated.
Jian Qingrong was about to refuse when he heard the person next to him say, "Go lie down on my upper bunk first and don't show your face."
"Okay." He changed his words very quickly.
The old ghost hadn't seen the sun for a long time. Before he could even complain after being released, Wen Shi sent him to clean the place. He immediately leaned against the wall and pretended to be old and weak. Wen Shi: "If you don't want to stay in the ghost box forever, then do your job well."
He pushed the door open and walked into the dormitory.
Song Yan was the first one to turn around when he heard the noise. He was shocked to see Wen Shi coming in with a skeleton covered in skin.
Wen Shi waved his hand: "Cleaner, don't worry about it."
The old ghost obediently went to fetch water and mop the floor. During his lifetime, he had always been moving between the dormitory and the factory. Following Wen Shi, he was able to see the world. He complained a few words, but was not too angry.
Wen Shi looked at the messy bed near the door.
There was not much blood on the bed. Most of it was splattered on the dressing mirror and ladder behind the door. He must have been killed when he was preparing to escape.
Ji Yuanzhi is quite efficient.
"The ghost came to them on its own initiative." Ji Yuanzhi sat at the table, cleaning the blood spots on his glasses, and was not worried about these two lives.
Wen Shi exclaimed when he heard this, and immediately recalled Xiao Li and A Zhuang's actions in the past two days, picking out two things that might be the most special, "Apart from snitching, they went to the school clinic to get medicine, and they almost always drank mineral water."
Mineral water shouldn't be the cause, so the only possibility is that prescribing medicine will trigger the summoning of monsters.
"You cannot get sick and try not to get injured, otherwise you will be judged as being in a weak state." Ji Yuanzhi has already interpreted this rule using [Information Omniscient].
Monsters will prioritize weak targets.
Wen Shi nodded and tidied the bed a little.
In any case, the bed was vacated and the new family had a place to live.
"Recommended summon." He tried to communicate the game.
The system's prompt sounded after a delay of two seconds: "This copy contains multiple unknown dangers. Using the unknown to fight the unknown is not a bad way."
hehe.
Wen Shi was a rebellious person. He didn't believe that the game would be so kind as to save him points. It was obvious that it didn't want to recommend it.
He likes to watch the game being played while he doesn't want to but has to.
"Recommend." Wen Shi emphasized and asked casually: "Is the person you are going to recommend a good person?"
In addition to the coldness, there was also a hint of darkness in the prompt tone.
"He's a beast."
"… "
After 200 points were deducted, the reminder sounded again—
[Skill 'I am me' activated]
[Target summoning in progress]
[Do you know what kind of beast you are about to see?]
Wen Shi almost choked on the air and coughed twice. In the past, when family members appeared, the prompt tone used descriptions like "What kind of fireworks?" Why did it become a beast when it came to this person
Noun or adjective? Could it be that he is not a human, such as an orc or an ancient beast
Wen Shi was letting his thoughts wander when he suddenly noticed Ji Yuanzhi looking at him warily. He turned around subconsciously and saw a man appear at the door.
During lights-out time, too strong light could easily attract the dormitory manager, so Wen Shi took out a small lantern and half of its dim light fell on the visitor.
The other person was very tall. The first thing Wen Shi saw was the open neckline. Under the thin cloth was a body with extremely powerful explosive power. The light went up and illuminated a three-dimensional and deep face from the chin. The person had dark skin and smoky gray hair with a slight curl.
Wen Shi was a little frightened. When he saw other family members, his first reaction was a sense of familiarity. In addition to the sense of familiarity, he also felt a little bit of fear because of his vigilance.
This sense of vigilance is not because I feel that the other party has ill intentions, but rather the aggression emanating from their bones, which makes people want to run away.
Song Yan has already run away.
In contrast to the uninvited guest outside the door, he moved a little towards the safe area of the balcony.
"Good evening," the person outside the door glanced inside, "My name is Yaerlin."
Before saying the name, he saw a corner of the campus card sticking out of Wen Shi's pocket. Aaron was written on it, and then he gave his name.
Wen Shi felt that this was not his real name.
Yarlin walked in, and for a moment the scent emanating from him seemed to suppress the smell of blood, a bit like golden ale that was almost ignitable, but it quickly disappeared.
Song Yan, who was hiding on the balcony, shared the poor vocabulary of Zhen Ling from more than ten years ago, and a word appeared in his head: A burst.
Wen Shi still stood facing the door, with a complicated expression. Did he have this side of himself? The explosive power visible from his body was like a mountain pressing down on him.
Considering that there is always a family member in the Wenshi copy, Ji Yuanzhi guessed based on the man's age: "Your brother?"
Wen Shi nodded.
Ji Yuanzhi glanced at the two of them and said calmly, "You must have picked the wrong one."
"… "
