Qin Jingjing was gone.
Everyone searched separately on campus.
Shui Xing was so flustered, he said anxiously: "She is so timid, where can she go? I usually accompany her when she goes out of the dormitory."
They had just come out of the administration building, and since it was Saturday, the campus was so quiet and eerily empty.
Gu Meng stood in front of the door with her hands on her hips, looking around, also looking anxious, "Try calling again."
In this abnormal world, a living person disappears without a sound, which is probably more ominous than good.
Mercury hurriedly took out the flip phone, but before they made a call, they received a text message from Bo Ye.
"found it."
Qin Jingjing has been in the safe passage of the dormitory building, between the fifth and sixth floors, and Xu Xing was the first to discover it.
The little girl closed her eyes tightly, her complexion was whiter than the wall, she lay there quietly, a pool of coagulated dark red blood spread behind her head.
Gu Meng lowered her eyelids, and after a moment of silence, she took off her school uniform and covered Qin Jingjing.
When he saw the corpses of the previous players, he only felt fear and even nausea, but when he saw Qin Jingjing's corpse, he was inexplicably sad. This girl always speaks in a soft voice, acts cautiously, never harbors malice towards others and the world, and ultimately cannot escape the fate of death.
Mercury leaned on the guardrail and slowly sat down on the steps. When she couldn't find anyone, she was flustered, but when she found it, she was surprisingly calm. She looked at Qin Jingjing blankly, and said, "Who is it..." before she opened her mouth, she lowered her head , The following words did not come out of my mouth.
Xu Xing stood by the safety door at the top of the stairs, adjusted his glasses, and sighed regretfully, "Who else, the only one who can kill is Chunzi."
Yu Mengmeng stared at the corpse below for a long time, and suddenly laughed nervously. The laughter became louder and louder, echoing in the corridor, almost to the point of wantonness.
"Crazy woman, stop laughing!" Zhang Guoqiang frowned fiercely, and glanced over.
"Everyone must die, everyone must die!" Yu Mengmeng laughed and opened the security door and walked out.
Tang Zhi tilted his head in confusion, and said to himself, "It's a little different. There are no torn wounds on her body, and there are no marks behind her ears."
Bo Ye stood aside and squeezed his hand, slowly wrapped his fingertips around his palm, and wrote a word.
Tang Zhi immediately opened his round and clear eyes, and looked at him understandingly.
Bo Ye shook his head at him, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
Gu Meng looked at the other men and said, "I can't just put her here."
Zhang Guoqiang understood what he meant, rolled up his sleeves with a sullen face, and walked down the steps, "Find a place to bury it."
At this moment, the safe passage door was pushed open.
Everyone looked up, and Teacher Xiaoyu appeared with a teaching stick in one hand and a lesson plan in the other.
"Hello, classmates." There was a smile on her cute face. After looking around, she locked her eyes on Qin Jingjing on the floor below, and a greedy look immediately appeared in her eyes, "Student Qin Jingjing seems to be quieter today."
Zhang Guoqiang and Gu Meng looked at each other with a strange look on their faces, and then they remembered that there is a corpse collection team in the game.
As if he didn't want to see the next scene, Xu Xing looked around, turned around and opened the door, "I'm going first."
Xiaoyu walked down the steps step by step on stiletto heels, and Zhang Guoqiang leaned against the corner to make room for her.
Before the woman could go downstairs, she stopped suddenly.
She blinked mechanically, looked down to her side, and a thin white hand grabbed her arm.
Mercury raised his eyes to look at the corpse on the ground, and said dejectedly: "We will handle it ourselves, you can go, she doesn't belong to you."
Xiaoyu didn't speak, and looked down at Mercury. Once that face lost its expression, it looked lifeless and gloomy.
In the tense and fettered atmosphere, the others watched the reactions of the two men, and they were worried about Mercury's outrageous behavior from the bottom of their hearts.
Suddenly, Xiaoyu smiled, pulled back her hand with a little force, turned around and walked upstairs without saying a word.
Gu Meng breathed a sigh of relief, bent down to help Qin Jingjing up, and said to Mercury, "Thank you."
Being able to leave Qin Jingjing's whole body behind was like doing something for her.
Mercury shook his head, curled up his body, buried his face in his hands, and said in an indistinct voice, "I'm sorry to bother you."
Several men found an open space behind the dormitory and planned to bury Qin Jingjing there.
After digging a hole for a while, Xu Xing straightened up with a shovel out of breath, a little reluctantly, "To be honest, is it really necessary to bury her? This is not the real world, so it's useless to deal with it..."
"If you don't want to do it, you can leave." Bo Ye interrupted him, and said calmly, "Although it is not the real world, this is still a human society."
Human society needs civilization, and ritual is a kind of civilization.
Xu Xing muttered something again, although he was dissatisfied, he continued to work.
Gu Meng pursed her lips and tried her best to shovel the soil, turning a deaf ear to Xu Xing's complaints.
During the burial, Gu Meng and Enjin were carrying the corpse and were about to put it down, when Qin Jingjing dropped one hand from between the coats covering her body and swayed feebly twice.
"Wait a minute!" Tang Zhi said suddenly.
Under the puzzled eyes of everyone, he quickly stepped forward and squatted down, holding Qin Jingjing's wrist and turning it over.
On the inside of the pale wrist, there is a black and blue symbol, like a faded tattoo, it is very faint, and you will miss it if you don't pay attention.
Gu Meng got close, and after distinguishing for a while, she looked at Tang Zhi in surprise, "D?"
…
On the way back to the dormitory, Zhang Guoqiang walked in front, patting the ashes on his body, while chatting with Xu Xing, "Qin Jingjing hung up without doing anything, I can be sure now, there is no rule at all, killing people in the game is random. "
After Xu Xing discovered the mark, he kept frowning, looking preoccupied. After hearing Zhang Guoqiang's words, he just gave a perfunctory "hmm" and didn't make any comments. Deliberately lowering it, reminding Zhang Guoqiang in an unclear manner, "Exactly, there are only four people."
Zhang Guoqiang understood what he meant after thinking for a while, and his expression became weird, "Then... don't waste time then."
It is the middle of the day and it is late in the evening, and the Huoshaoyun stretches and hovers above the buildings on the campus. It is orange with pink, like a watercolor painting, with a kind of innocence.
Bo Ye and Tang Zhi didn't go back to dormitory 618 immediately, but went to Gu Meng's dormitory next door.
After closing the door, Gu Meng said, "If you have anything to say, you can speak directly."
With both hands in his pockets, Bo Ye stood in front of Chunzi's desk and looked up and down, and said, "Does every high school student have a five-three set?"
Gu Meng drew a chair and sat down, ignored him, looked at Tang Zhi, and said, "Quiet death, does it mean that there is no death condition in the game?"
Tang Zhi leaned back against the cabinet door, and said in a calm voice, "Quiet death cannot be used as a reference."
Gu Meng was puzzled, "Why?"
"Her death was not caused by the NPC in the game." Tang Zhi said calmly, "It was murder, other players did it."
Gu Meng was shocked and speechless, staring at Tang Zhi in a daze.
On the other side, Bo Ye took down the photo frame hanging on the wall, inside which were the words of congratulations written by her classmates on Chunzi's birthday last year. Different fonts filled a sheet of paper, colorful and gaudy at a glance.
Bo Ye bumped into Enjin who was sitting on the chair next to him, held up the photo frame to face him, and joked: "Enjin, I heard that you read the Xinhua Dictionary every night with the light on, do you know all the characters on it?"
Enjin glanced lightly, nodded, and said, "Naughty."
"???"
Bo Ye didn't understand, and was about to ask, but Gu Meng said dully on the other side: "Has Qin Jingjing offended anyone? Why did you kill her?"
Tang Zhi tilted his head to signal Enjin, "There are still eight players left, and the roster can be obtained with the consent of half or more of them. They have always wanted to push Enjin."
Gu Meng came to his senses and said a very dirty word, "It's too despicable to do this." Then he realized something and stood up abruptly, "Aren't they going to succeed now! What about Enjin?"
"Four vs. four, they don't have an advantage, unless they kill another person from among us." Bo Ye looked at the words in the photo frame, leaning against the edge of the desk with a casual posture, "If they vote for Enjin, we will nominate Xu Awake."
Gu Meng thought for a while, and thought it made sense. There were four people on the other side, and there were also four people on their side. If they agreed to vote for Xu Xing in advance, and when a collective decision was made to push him out, Enjin and Xu Xing would have the same number of votes. How would the decision be made? It also depends on what Xiaoyu means. If Xu Xing didn't want to cause trouble, he would have taken the initiative to ask to abstain from voting. As long as the four-on-four situation was maintained, the other party could not decide who was out as he wished.
Gu Meng sat down again, thinking about it, wondering, "Why are you targeting Xu Xing?"
Bo Ye said without emotion: "Because he killed Qin Jingjing."
Gu Meng opened her mouth, and was shocked by the news they brought again, "You... how do you know?"
Bo Ye threw the photo frame to Enjin, looked at Gu Meng leisurely, and asked, "Do you think that Qin Jingjing's state when she died was too normal, except for bleeding from the back of her head, there was no tearing scar on her body."
When seeing Qin Jingjing, Gu Meng suspected that the corpse was too complete, but at that time her heart was too heavy, so she didn't think about it that much.
He gradually followed his train of thought, "So Qin Jingjing either slipped and fell down the stairs by herself, or someone deliberately murdered her."
Bo Ye snapped his fingers, "This is the normal first reaction."
Tang Zhi cooperated and said: "Shui Xing asked who it was at the time, but he hesitated to speak later, but Xu Xing immediately answered, saying that it was Chunzi who did it."
Bo Ye said indifferently: "How did he know that Mercury would ask 'Who did it', or 'Who found the corpse', or..." Shrugged, and began to say, "Who sent you to my side? "
Gu Meng: "..."
Enjin looked at the photo frame over and over, and answered without warning, "There is an entry in the dictionary that says there is no silver three hundred taels here."
Bo Ye turned to look at him, raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You are not stupid."
Enjin frowned, slightly displeased and said, "Who said I was stupid?"
"..." The other three looked at the sky silently.
Gu Meng understood what they meant, and with Xu Xing's thoughtful character, she wouldn't even think about the possibility of Qin Jingjing slipping and falling, and immediately decided that she killed her. Because he had planned to let Junzi take the blame for a long time, when Mercury asked who it was, his first reaction would be that Junzi killed him.
"These people are really crazy." Gu Meng shook her head, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Bo Ye chuckled, "Teacher Gu, this place is not full of truth, kindness and beauty like kindergarten."
He looked at Enjin's words again, turned to him, and asked, "What did you just say? Silver?"
"Yeah." Enjin handed him the photo frame, "There is a word written on it, lewd." Seeing that Bo Ye was puzzled, he added, "Fucking lewd."
Bo Ye took the photo frame and narrowed his eyes carefully.
Tang Zhi and Gu Meng were attracted and gathered together one after another.
The three of Bo Ye and the others searched for a long time among the gaudy blessings, but they couldn't find the "lewdness" in Enjin's mouth.
Gu Meng: "Why didn't I see it?"
Tang Zhi pressed in a low voice, "Is he really literate?"
At this moment, they heard Eun Jin sigh.
The three of them looked at Enjin together, but saw the helpless expression on the man's face, "I can't see it, maybe it's really hopeless".
"..." There is a subtle feeling of being discriminated against by fools.
Enjin turned the photo frame in Bo Ye's hand 180 degrees, and traced with her fingertips along the words written in a yellow watercolor pen, "The first word in the right column on page 598 of the Xinhua Dictionary is obscene."
According to the trajectory he drew, the other three finally saw clearly that there was a hidden word hidden in the blessing written with pens of different colors.
The layout of the sentences written in yellow pen is very ingenious. If you connect them together, you can see the word "obscenity", which fills the whole paper.
A chill rose in Gu Meng's heart, she couldn't believe it, "Could it be... a coincidence?"
Tang Zhi and Bo Ye were thoughtful, but did not speak.
Gu Meng was silent, and gradually realized that Class A of the third year was not as friendly as it appeared on the surface.
At this time, Tang Zhi and Bo Ye raised their heads at the same time, their eyes were bright, and they almost said in unison:
"I see!"
"Wakari Mashita."
The author has something to say:
Thank you Yantian and Yiqing for the nutrient solution.
Thank you for your encouragement. I am a little embarrassed because I am in arrears with the update. Don't mind.
