The 404 bus drove them all the way to the suburbs. Xu Youyuan sat in the front seat of the car, staring at every ghost in the car, shaking the pig-killing knife in her hand to see who dared to move.
All the ghosts in the car were quite obediently pursing their lips, smiling, and sitting upright.
Shi Yue is responsible for tracking the driver and observing the situation outside. Corgi nestled at her feet, swaying with the body.
Finally arrived at Guishan University, the driver said carefully to Xu Youyuan:
"Miss, it's time to stop."
When Xu Youyuan was about to get out of the car, she suddenly thought of something, and turned around and asked the driver:
"How did you die? Why are you still in this world? Do you have any resentment?"
The conversation with the driver triggered the keyword, the driver's expression changed, the whole ghost softened, and the narration began:
"The 404 bus is one of the only two buses that go between Guishan University and the town. The people who take the 404 are basically students of Guishan University. It is not too much to call it the school bus of Guishan University."
When the driver said this, Xu Youyuan took a look inside the carriage, and there were basically young female ghosts sitting in the car.
"I'm just an ordinary bus driver. I go to work every day and earn a meager salary to support my family. My wife and three children depend on me to support my family. I have never done anything bad, and who would have known that I would die so unknown. White… "
"What happened, why are all the people on the bus dead?"
"This matter... Actually, I'm not particularly aware of it either. You'll find out when you go to Guishan University." The driver was hesitant to say anything.
"Xu Youyuan." Shi Yue said, "It's twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, we have to hurry to the school, otherwise the mission may fail."
Xu Youyuan didn't have time to continue questioning him, so she could only get out of the car.
Just as she was about to leave, a carload of ghost words drifted into her ears:
"Ghost Mountain University... is a cursed university... No one can get out of there alive, no one. Wraith will drag you to hell, just like us... Hee hee hee..."
When Xu Youyuan looked back, she found that the ghost on the 404 bus disappeared with a gust of wind.
Ghost Mountain University was built on Ghost Mountain. Before twelve o'clock, they rushed to the school gate and completed the first stage of tasks.
In fact, if it wasn't for the system prompting them to complete the task, they might not have realized that they had reached their destination.
It was pitch black in the field of vision, and it was obvious that Guishan University had long since been abandoned.
The gate of the school was like a monster that could be slaughtered at any time in the dark. Shi Yue stayed far away from the gate and said uncertainly:
"Are we going in? Or do we have other tasks when we arrive?"
Hearing her say that, she knew that Shi Yue didn't really want to enter the campus of Guishan University. Not to mention Shi Yue, even Xu Youyuan, who always prided herself on being bold, felt that this abandoned university exuded an extremely unfriendly atmosphere. There seem to be countless ghosts hidden in the invisible places.
[System prompt: Enter Guishan University and unlock the long-buried past of Guishan University]
Well, this time we have to go in.
Xu Youyuan searched for a long time in the takeaway toolbox. There was only one searchlight for the lighting equipment, and it cost 50,000 gold coins, which was expensive.
She had no other choice but to grit her teeth and buy it. If there is no lighting in such a dark place, you can't even see the road, let alone complete the task.
When Shi Yue saw her, she bought one, anxious: "Xu Youyuan, what's the matter with you, don't be stingy when it's critical! What's the use of a searchlight!"
Shi Yuebang bang bang bought all eight directly. This searchlight can be directly attached to the body, and the brightness is good. One light can illuminate a distance of ten meters in front.
Shi Yue went down from the top of her head, her chest, back, arms and knees were all covered with searchlights.
Looking at her own brightness, Shi Yue was very satisfied: "The lighthouse is assembled!"
Xu Youyuan: "You are clearly the revolving light of the disco, okay? Paste a few pieces of colored paper on the lampshade, and we can dance on the spot immediately."
"It's just you aunties who like to dance." With one lamp left, Shi Yue lifted her hand and stuck it directly on Xu Youyuan's forehead.
With a lamp on her head, Xu Youyuan immediately changed from an office worker to a comedian.
Shi Yue's whole body was shining brightly, and she was holding a peach wood sword in her hand, which gave her a little sense of security.
With the light, they finally saw that the entrance to Oniyama University was blocked by a rusted and closed iron gate.
"Strange." Xu Youyuan felt that something was wrong.
Shi Yue observed the buildings on both sides of the school gate: "It's very strange. Generally, universities don't set up such closed iron gates at the school gate. After all, most universities pay attention to 'openness'. The guards add visitor registration, and at most set up guards. Railings. This iron gate is so old-fashioned that it doesn't match the modern style of the school gate itself, as if..."
Xu Youyuan stood parallel to the iron door and observed the iron door from the side: "It seems that it is not to prevent others from entering, but to prevent people inside from coming out."
Shi Yue did think so too, but her nerves became even more nervous immediately after being recognized by Xu Youyuan.
"Look." Xu Youyuan shook the searchlight above her head, clawed at the iron door, leaned forward, and squeezed in hard.
Feeling that the angle was not very good, she directly put her neck into the gap of the iron door.
The searchlight was finally able to illuminate the scene on the other side of the iron gate, Xu Youyuan said: "There are many scratches and bloodstains in the iron gate, and the iron gate is tilted outwards, it should have been impacted from the inside out, and it became this look."
When Shi Yue saw Xu Youyuan's posture, her head was stuck in the railing of the iron gate, and she was frightened: "Aren't you afraid that a ghost hand will suddenly stretch out and pull you in by your hair?"
"It's best that the ghost hand come out now." Xu Youyuan waved the pig-killing knife in her hand, "My knife is impatient, and I'm worried that there is no place to consecrate it."
Hidden behind the iron gate, a female ghost who was about to stretch out her ghost hand was grabbed by another female ghost, carried back, covered her mouth, and kept it silent.
Xu Youyuan heard a little movement, and immediately looked here, the two ghosts quickly shrank behind the wall. The light of the searchlight flickered by the wall, but the female ghost was not seen, and the two female ghosts breathed a sigh of relief.
"What did you see?" Shi Yue asked.
"I always feel that something is dangling past." Xu Youyuan shrank her neck back, "The iron door is not easy to open, let's turn over from above."
Climbing over the iron gate and entering Guishan University, Shiyue is like a huge light bulb illuminating the road ahead.
It can be seen that Guishan University is not too big, and it is not much different from the high school Xu Youyuan attended. The two student apartments are like two ends of brackets, enclosing a rectangular teaching building in the middle.
Standing on the flowerbed in front of the teaching building, Xu Youyuan and Shi Yue can see the layout of the entire school.
"The layout is strange, no matter how you look at it, it feels depressing." Shi Yue said, "The mission prompt is to ask us to unravel the long-buried past of Guishan University, but there is no one here. How can we unravel it?"
Xu Youyuan said as she walked into the teaching building: "If there is no one, I will probably catch a few ghosts and ask."
Shi Yue: "Are you sure you want to go in? Or let's wait and see if the system will prompt you for something else? Hey, Xu Youyuan!"
Xu Youyuan had already walked into the building, and the voice that came out echoed: "If you are afraid, wait for me here."
As soon as Xu Youyuan left, the light radiating from Shi Yue didn't look like lighting, but rather like attracting ghosts to find her sign. Shi Yue quickly followed Xu Youyuan:
"Can you go into the building without being so impulsive? You are carrying a pig-killing knife, but what if there are too many ghosts and you can't cut them down? We have to formulate a strategy."
Xu Youyuan suddenly turned around, startled Shi Yue, and warned her: "Don't scare me like the last time you entered the horror theme. Remember, you bumped into someone when you scare me last time, and then... "
"Come, bring it in your hand."
Shi Yue raised her hand hesitantly: "What are you going to do."
Xu Youyuan bought a marker from the takeaway toolbox and said, holding Shi Yue's hand:
"Ghosts seldom directly conflict with people, they prefer to suggest fear, or attach themselves to people and let their companions kill each other. There is also a very troublesome situation, they will affect our brain with resentment, causing us to have hallucinations, mistaking them for companions. So we had to make a mark so we could recognize each other."
Xu Youyuan asked Shi Yue to think of a word or mark that was very important to her. If she was possessed, the mark would serve as a reminder, which might restore one's mind. If it is impersonated, it can also be seen at a glance.
"You draw the shape of a cherry blossom petal." Shi Yue said.
"How important is the cherry blossom petals, you little girl." Xu Youyuan said while complaining.
"It's important anyway, you old fish."
"What's the meaning of the old fish?"
"Fish only have seven seconds of memory, not to mention old fish, the memory will only be worse."
Xu Youyuan was stunned by what she said - as expected, cherry blossoms are related to me, but when did I get involved with cherry blossoms
Xu Youyuan was puzzled.
On the back of Shi Yue's hand, he drew a cherry blossom petal. Xu Youyuan is very good at painting, the petals are very beautiful, and the one-stroke painting is actually very elegant.
Shi Yue asked Xu Youyuan what pattern to mark, and Xu Youyuan said, "Write an 'R' for me."
"R" stands for Reshaping the Universe, and it is the LOGO printed on the Reshaping Universe access crystal.
The significance of reshaping the universe to Xu Youyuan is probably beyond Shi Yue's imagination. In fact, it's not about Xu Youyuan, it's very unusual for every practitioner in the holographic game industry.
Both of them wrote the marks, Xu Youyuan stuffed the marker into her pocket and raised her arm to look forward.
The corridor of the teaching building is very long, and the distance that the searchlight can illuminate is limited, and every step forward is very unsteady.
The tiles under her feet were covered with dust, and there was a lot of liquid that had condensed long ago. Shi Yue turned her arms and could see clearly with the light—
There was blood all over the place.
The blood splattered from countless spots on the ground, staining the tiles and countless piles of scattered waste paper.
There seems to have been a horrific massacre here, but no corpses have been seen...
Shi Yue's heart was pounding, and when she passed each classroom, she felt that something would suddenly rush out of the closed door and attack them.
After walking through three classrooms and most of the west corridor of the teaching building, what Shi Yue was worried about did not happen.
All classroom doors were tightly closed, nothing rushed out, not even a single grimace appeared in the dark windows.
The teaching building has a total of 18 floors and is divided into two corridors, east and west, in a U shape.
The entire teaching building looks rectangular from the outside, but when you go inside, you find that the U-shaped opening is a high glass window connecting the 18th floor. There are classrooms on both sides, and U Valley is two elevators and toilets.
There are scratches and bloodstains on the doors of the two elevators. The toilets are on two sides. To get to the toilets, you have to turn a corner and then go inside. You can't see the situation in the toilets at a glance.
Xu Youyuan looked back, a huge red moon hung overhead through the glass window, her heart felt as if someone had grabbed it, and her heart tightened.
Standing in the depths of the corridor, when I looked back, I felt that the depth of the corridor was longer than when she came. I don't know if it was an illusion caused by the layout of the building, or if the corridor really became longer.
Apparently Shi Yue felt the same way.
Shi Yue's face didn't look good under the strong light, and when she was about to speak, the system prompted him to push in, making Shi Yue shiver.
"Pfft..." Xu Youyuan was amused by Shi Yue's real trembling, and sprayed it out on the spot.
"Just laugh at me." Shi Yue pointed at the system prompt, "When you see what we're going to do next, you won't be able to laugh anymore."
[System prompt: Select a player to enter the women's toilet and come out alive after being alone for ten minutes, otherwise the mission will fail.]
The two looked at the dark women's toilet at the same time.
Looking in from the corner, I didn't know what the women's toilet looked like, but there was a large pool of blood stains at the door, as well as blood from dragging. The blood stains extended all the way from the door to the toilet, as if someone had been pulled in.
Shi Yue couldn't help swallowing, and Xu Youyuan said, "I'll go."
"But Xu Youyuan, this mission prompt sounds like there must be danger in the toilet!"
"It doesn't matter, you are waiting for me here." Xu Youyuan clenched the pig-killing knife and walked in hurriedly. Seeing her posture, Shi Yue couldn't tell whether to worry about her or the ghost in the toilet.
After stepping on a blood trail, Xu Youyuan walked into the women's toilet.
The searchlight swept around the toilet, with two sinks and mirrors on the right and four cubicles on the left.
The doors of three of the compartments have been skewed or simply fallen off, and only the door of the last compartment is closed, as if someone is hiding inside.
Xu Youyuan went straight up and pulled the door of the fourth compartment. After dragging it for a long time without moving it, the compartment was locked.
The toilet cubicles are locked after someone enters, and there is no way to lock the outside at all, that is to say, the cubicle is locked from the inside.
Xu Youyuan slashed at the door lock with a knife, and the door lock flew out with a "smack", and the "creak" sound was quite harsh, and the door swayed and opened a crack.
Through the gap, Xu Youyuan vaguely saw the woman's long black hair.
"There are really ghosts inside." Xu Youyuan's knife flashed, and the female toilet ghost who had just been slashed by a knife shivered.
The female ghost in the toilet said in surprise: What's the situation? It's different from the script, why am I afraid here
At this time, it was time for the female toilet ghost to rush out and scare the player with a bloody terrifying appearance, but the female toilet ghost did not dare to move at all.
"Come out." The people outside the door were still clamoring, and the female toilet ghost was leaning peacefully behind the door—if she couldn't speak, she wouldn't come out.
There was silence outside the door for a moment, and even the sound of breathing disappeared.
The female ghost in the toilet slowly approached the gap with fear and curiosity, and looked out, she wanted to see how a fierce person could be so arrogant.
I didn't see anyone, I saw a knife.
The female ghost in the toilet: "Huh?"
Xu Youyuan swung the knife and almost cut off the nose of the female toilet ghost. The female toilet ghost screamed and hid back. Xu Youyuan kicked out and kicked the door wide open, only to see a black shadow dragging a long 's hair slipped from above the compartment.
The female ghost in the toilet actually escaped, and Xu Youyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though she was so wild and bold, she actually held her breath, and the palm of her hand holding the kitchen knife was sweaty.
As long as everyone has a heart of fear, even people who like excitement are no exception. It's just that she has a unique way of alleviating her fears, which is to face difficulties.
This female ghost is actually afraid and runs away. I feel that the NPCs in the game are very intelligent.
A few days ago, when she was busy in a meeting, she found that a new version had been released in the dark room, and when she entered again, she downloaded a huge update package. The appearance and props in the mall have been enriched a lot. I didn't expect new changes to the NPC. This is probably because Shiyue is constantly pursuing a more perfect and interesting game experience.
Although she herself was quite frightened.
Looking at the countdown above my head, three minutes have passed from the ten minutes stipulated. What will she do with the rest of the time? Just waiting, or is there a prescribed task
Xu Youyuan came to the door of each compartment and looked inside, wanting to see what scary elements of horror games were. Bloody handprints were printed in the other three compartments, and there were obvious signs of struggle.
There seems to be some shadow behind the half-destroyed door, is there anything else hidden
Xu Youyuan leaned on the door and poked her head in, but there was nothing.
But the feeling of being half-covered is scary enough.
Most horror movies and horror games create a terrifying atmosphere, allowing viewers and players to scare themselves. The scene in the dark room is actually very well done.
The senior game producer was digging for horror elements and making professional analysis of the scene, while Shi Yue was waiting impatiently at the door, wondering what happened to Xu Youyuan inside. There was a loud noise just now, but now it's terribly quiet, making Shi Yue's heart even more flustered.
Xu Youyuan was standing in front of the mirror and was concentrating on recording every fear point. In the mirror, she slowly turned her head and looked at her.
Xu Youyuan found it out of the corner of her eye, and her back froze.
This is also a classic scene that often appears in horror movies. The moment she entered the toilet and saw the mirror, she guessed that there must be a ghost in the mirror.
Although she in the mirror has the same facial features as her, the facial features are slowly shifting, making the smile even more bizarre and distorted.
When Xu Youyuan turned back and stared at the mirror, the face in the mirror had completely changed into another person, and even looked a little familiar.
Xu Youyuan remembered that this face belonged to her high school classmate.
Because she gained 140 pounds when she was a freshman in high school, she was ridiculed a lot. The owner of this face in the mirror was the one who laughed at her most fiercely, and gave Xu Youyuan countless nicknames. The school bag is filled with glue, which can be said to be a nightmare of adolescence.
This face appeared again with a ferocious appearance, just to arouse the fear in Xu Youyuan's heart!
Xu Youyuan didn't wave the knife, she got close to the mirror and looked at this face carefully.
The ghost in the mirror's smile slowly stiffened, with big eyes and small eyes, becoming more and more embarrassed.
"Look at the fart." The ghost in the mirror said angrily.
Xu Youyuan still looked at it seriously: "Actually, I have always wanted to do one thing."
Ghost in the mirror: "?"
Xu Youyuan took out the marker pen in her pocket, which was used for marking, and stretched the pen into the mirror. She thickened the eyebrows and painted the beard and nose hair on the ghost in the mirror.
"Comfortable." After a meal, Xu Youyuan breathed a sigh of relief and released the little resentment that remained in her heart.
The ghost in the mirror painted as an ugly girl: "..."
Shi Yue looked at the countdown, and there were only three seconds left. Three, two, one... Xu Youyuan hasn't come out yet.
What's going on, there is no indication of success or failure of the task, what happened inside
Shi Yue slowly approached the women's toilet and asked Xu Youyuan on the private channel:
"Xu Youyuan, are you still alive? Why is there no movement?"
Xu Youyuan didn't answer her, instead there was a loud crashing sound, so frightened that Shi Yue almost spit out her courage.
Xu Youyuan flew out of the women's toilet with a brisk walk, followed by a terrifying female ghost who wanted to swallow her.
Shi Yue was stunned by this scene.
The ghost's neck is also connected to the mirror of the toilet, pulled into a long noodle shape, almost like an angry head flying in the air, and won't stop until it bites Xu Youyuan!
Xu Youyuan ran quickly, and suddenly stopped halfway, and slashed at the ghost's face in the mirror with a backhand.
Unexpectedly, the ghost in the mirror actually bit the pig-killing knife.
Xu Youyuan tried to get the knife back, but she tried her best to no avail. The two rows of teeth of the ghost in the mirror smashed the sharp blade of the pig-killing knife with force.
Xu Youyuan: "Damn?!"
The ghost in the mirror smiled and opened his mouth to bite at Xu Youyuan's head. Shi Yue immediately drew out the peach wood sword and stabbed the ghost in the mirror on the neck.
The ghost in the mirror was stabbed, but did not cause any damage, but the blade of the peach wood sword gradually showed cracks, shattered into pieces, and fell to the ground.
Shi Yue: "Rely?!"
Offensive ineffective? Shi Yue saw that there were blood strips on the top of the ghost in the mirror, but this sword did not cause any damage! It seems that Chinese peach wood swords are really useless to Korean ghosts!
The ghost in the mirror slowly turned his head to look at Shi Yue, his blue-purple face was full of malice, he opened his dark mouth to reveal terrifying teeth, and the whole corridor was filled with its ghostly aura!
It confronted Shi Yue, and Shi Yue didn't run away after being startled by it, but stayed in place and looked at her face carefully.
Embarrassed to the limitless mirror ghost: "… "
This person is not afraid of her
Instead of retreating, Shi Yue moved forward, determined that the ghost's face in the mirror had beard and nose hair painted with a marker, she retreated, and covered her mouth.
Ghost in the mirror: "You're laughing..."
Shi Yue simply laughed: "Xu Youyuan, you are really a painter of souls!"
Ghost in the mirror: "..."
In the sound of laughter, the ghost in the mirror hugged him tightly, and the blood bar fell madly, it shrank smaller and smaller, and finally humbled into the dust and disappeared completely.
Shi Yue: "They're already ghosts, yet they're still so fragile."
