Recalling her other companion's rich harvest in the past two days, she suddenly became a little angry.
By coincidence, just when she was sitting here alone and sulking, a man was carrying a schoolbag. Inside the schoolbag were four dolls whose faces were twisted into a ball due to fear, and he was holding a doll in his hand. A very cute little boy appeared in the library.
"It's been two full days, and it seems you still haven't gained anything at all."
Holding up the doll in his hand like a show off, the little boy seemed very proud, even arrogant.
"Look, I've harvested a total of five here. How about it? Do you want me to give one to poor you?"
"Hmph, if I were you, I would hide obediently now or hurry up and leave here. If you make such a big noise here and don't hurry up and leave, are you looking for death?"
Glancing at the doll in the little boy's hand, the disgust that had always been in the little Loli's eyes flashed away.
"It won't be long before those players come here. If you want to die, you'd better not involve me."
"Players? Compared with hunting these defenseless humans, hunting players can gain the greatest benefits."
With a cold smile on his face, the little boy forcefully stuffed the doll in his hand into the schoolbag behind his back.
"Don't worry, I'm not a fool. Would I do such an unwise thing? The high-level players nearby have been distracted by another thing during this period of time, so they can't come to this school. The players investigated inside are just novices who have just obtained player qualifications. They are just novices, do you think I will be afraid?"
"Oh, then I wish you a safe journey and a good journey, bye."
Lowering her head and looking through the large book on her lap again, the little Loli answered rather perfunctorily.
"After you are eliminated by those novice players, I will place an incense stick on your grave in the coming year."
"What? Aren't you excited? You still haven't gained anything so far, right? You're just hunting a few novice players. Do you feel scared?"
Opening his hands, the little boy had a look of enthusiasm on his face.
"Come on, let's work together to hunt the newbie players who are coming!! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The two of us are absolutely invincible when combined with our abilities!!"
"No, you and I are not on the same page."
Looking at the bulging schoolbag carried on the little boy's back with extreme disgust, the little Loli snorted coldly in her mouth.
"Don't think that I don't know what you have in mind and want to use me as cannon fodder? Don't be kidding me. Do I look easy to deceive?"
"Tsk, forget it if you don't want to."
The fanatical expression on his face quickly returned to calmness. After staring at the little loli in front of him for a while, who was always unmoved by his words, the little boy clicked his tongue in his mouth, and then turned away quite indifferently. body.
"Anyway, as long as you don't envy me then, you idiot who hasn't gained anything yet, just wait..."
Before he finished his sentence, the little boy suddenly turned around at a speed that was totally inappropriate for his age and stepped towards the little Lolita's shadow cast by the sunlight from the window.
"…become my puppet!!"
With a muffled bang, the little boy successfully... stepped on nothing.
"Oh, hello, bye, bye."
At some point, her body completely hid under the shadow cast by the tall bookshelf, and the little Loli yawned indifferently.
little boy:"… …"
The atmosphere in the venue seemed a little awkward for a while.
"Idiot, I know all about your abilities. Do you think I will give you this chance? I am not a fool."
He stepped up and put the "Analysis and Research of Human Psychology" in his hand back on the bookshelf, and the little Loli's figure quietly disappeared under the floor.
"Let me give you a piece of advice. After all, I don't want to see my former companions die so stupidly. Don't underestimate those players, even if those players are only first-level novices. After all, who can qualify as a player? Is one of them easy to get along with? Learning to accept things when they are easy is the necessary principle to live longer."
"Ah... Of course I know, players are difficult to deal with, even novice players..."
After confirming that the other party had left, he lowered his head and looked at the palm of his hand. The corners of the little boy's mouth drew an unusually weird and exaggerated arc upward.
"But as the saying goes, you can gain wealth by taking risks. If you don't take some risks, how can you gain anything? I'm very particular about what I do... I'm just a low-level player..."
Volume 1 The Gap between Virtual and Real: Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Alas, Washing Machine
A vicious incident occurred in a university where five students disappeared in one go. This is not a big deal.
Therefore, after the school called the police, in less than half a quarter of an hour, two police cars roared in one after the other.
It's just that unlike the several capable policemen in police uniforms who got out of the police car in front, there were three young people in casual clothes who got out of the police car in the back. The young man in charge still had a faint tattoo on his left arm. Printed with a tattoo.
"Are there any official personnel who specialize in handling this kind of incident... a person with superpowers or something else?"
Bai Zhi, who was lying casually on the railing and looking over there from a distance, chewing the chewing gum he bought on the way when he came here in the morning, couldn't help but think in his heart.
The mysterious disappearance of the classmates made everyone panic, not to mention the bizarre incident that happened around them. Most people had no intention of studying and left the teaching building early, but a small number of people were like him with a An inexplicable feeling remains here.
No one is a fool. Although the endless urban myths that have been circulating on the Internet in the past few months are controlled by the state, there are at least some gossips that are nervously circulated in major QQ groups. .
As the saying goes, Mr. Ye is fond of dragons. People talk about strange stories and fear him like a tiger.
"This kind of thing is not something I can get involved with now. Let's leave it to the professionals to solve it..."
After memorizing the faces and characteristics of the three young men, Bai Zhi put his hands in the pockets of his coat and turned around and walked toward the stairs.
Just when he turned the corner, a small figure ran out from behind the corner and bumped into him before he had time to react.
"!!!"
Looking at the little boy who fell to the ground because of bumping into him, Bai Zhi's complexion couldn't help but change while his pupils suddenly tightened.
"Big brother who escaped from me twice, I caught you?"
Raising his head with an unusually bright smile on his face, the little boy raised his left hand. On his left hand, a shadow was struggling with his hand.
"That's my shadow..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Zhi felt that the world in front of him suddenly went dark. When the darkness in front of him receded again, he was quite shocked to find that he appeared in a section with classrooms on both sides. Above the dim corridor.
Before he could take a good look at his current situation, an extremely harsh scream reached his ears.
"No, right? You're going to be a high-level student as soon as you come here?"
The corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, and Bai Zhi turned his head and looked behind him.
The location he was currently in seemed to be in an abandoned teaching building. Fragments of various test papers and sawdust were scattered on the ground. There were all classrooms next to him, and he was in the center of the corridor.
The dim light flickers on and off above the head, and a little further away is invaded by a deep black. There is a difference in light illumination about every tens of meters away, and a little further away is a corner.
The sharp screams before came from the corner behind him.
"I always feel like my luck has become particularly bad since time travel. Within two days, two ghost stories came to my door..."
After making some speechless remarks, Bai Zhi looked around under the dim light above his head, trying to see if he could find a table leg or a stool or something to defend himself against.
Human fear comes from the unknown, but his attitude towards the unknown is curiosity and excitement. No matter what the screaming thing behind him is, he can just use the stick to do it.
Unfortunately, everything he saw were torn and smashed test papers and some scattered wood chips. After trying to put these broken test papers together to no avail, Bai Zhi decisively gave up the idea.
So far, two minutes have passed since he was attacked by the guy who looked like a little boy but was actually a weirdo. Bai Zhi did nothing but check the situation around him.
The first scream seemed to disappear after that, and everything seemed extremely quiet. But as time went by, the flashing time of the lights above became shorter and shorter, and the brightness and brightness also decreased. A lot.
Once the only light source completely disappears, the outcome will be obvious in the extremely dark environment.
"It looks like an abandoned teaching building..."
After pondering for a moment, Bai Zhi walked into the darkness and came to the door of the classroom that was hidden by the darkness.
The rotten iron door was not locked. He just pushed it gently. With a hoarse and unpleasant squeaking sound, the classroom's ajar iron door was slowly pushed open.
"Well... I really can't see anything clearly..."
Looking at the darkness in front of him, Bai Zhi couldn't help but complained speechlessly.
Exploring an abandoned classroom in the dark in such a strange environment, no matter how courageous you are, will inevitably have a feeling of trepidation in your heart.
After all, the unknown is the biggest fear. No one knows what is hidden in this dark classroom. Under the influence of the environment, the inner fear will be infinitely amplified.
-But these have nothing to do with Bai Zhi.
"From the current point of view, this should be a scene similar to the background of a battle royale. The ghost story seems to have captured my shadow and sent me here. Standing under the light source, although it seems bright and safe, but Who knows whether things related to shadows will become a dead end in this scene. However, any game has the most basic rules, even the games held by Kaidan are no exception. Therefore, in the dark classroom that can be opened next to it, There should be some key elements to escape here... The five missing guys before were probably accidentally stepped on by the shadows and sent here. If they are still alive, maybe they can find a way to join them and feel at ease. Waiting for rescue…”
While muttering these words in his mouth, Bai Zhi moved from desk to desk in the back row to the front. His main exploration place was the drawer, and of course the desk was not excluded.
After touching three desks, he felt his hand touch something very cold in the darkness.
"Hmm... It feels about the same size as my own hand, cold and cold, and there are five hands... uh..."
Volume 1 The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Escape Game
"..."
After figuring out what he touched on his hand, Bai Zhi was silent for two seconds.
In such an extremely dark environment and suddenly reaching out and touching a cold hand, a normal person's reaction would probably be to retreat in panic or scream uncontrollably and throw away the hand.
But it was obvious that Bai Zhi was not a normal person.
What's the saying
As long as I have no morals, you can't hold me morally hostage. So in the same way, in this matter, after a brief hesitation, Bai Zhi decisively chose to retreat instead of advancing. Not only did he have no intention of taking back his hand, Instead, he also stretched out his other hand.
At this moment, countless seniors flashed through his mind, and finally he settled on two characters. One was Kira Yoshikage, who loved his hands as much as his life, and the other was a certain ghost Kazuma.
The former is easy to understand, but as for the latter... the scene where Kazuma and Megumin touched their hands when they slept in the same room impressed him deeply.
After all, in this kind of thing, the competition is who can be embarrassed first.
Frankly speaking, after touching the cold hand for a few seconds, Bai Zhi felt that the hand was quite smooth and felt quite comfortable...
Half a minute later, probably disgusted by his behavior, the cold hand retracted silently.
"Tsk, what a pity..."
Bai Zhi took his hand back with regret on his face.
All strange stories must follow certain rules. For example, the enthusiastic teacher Chen last night said that he was some kind of unspeakable mysterious existence, but before any fear arose in his heart, the other party still took advantage of him. There was nothing I could do. Not only did he help with the homework, but he also took out the trash. He was a veritable tool man.
By analogy, what are the rules of the strange story that I encountered today that dragged me into it
According to the information he knows so far, the ghost story appears to be a cute little boy carrying a schoolbag. He likes to play the game of stepping on shadows alone. Before him, five innocent students had been killed. I don’t know if I’m dead or not. And he was clearly not stepped on by the other party, but the other party took the initiative to come to the goalkeeper...
Suddenly thinking of this, Bai Zhi couldn't help but froze.
If the rule of this ghost story is that if you step on the shadow, you will be pulled into it, then my own experience obviously does not comply with this rule.
If we think about it from another angle, using Teacher Chen as a reference yesterday, assuming that these strange stories have intelligence close to or beyond human beings, then this strange story will still change even when the official professional handlers are on campus or even downstairs. He is becoming more and more unscrupulous... It seems that the water here seems to be quite deep
Shaking his head, Bai Zhi continued to explore the dark classroom.
About a minute later, a rather strange sound came from the corridor with flickering lights outside. When he heard this hoarse and unpleasant sound, Bai Zhi frowned unconsciously. Closed his eyes.
That weird sound was simply challenging the limits of the human body. To describe it specifically... it was probably the sound made by fingernails slowly scratching across the blackboard.
Holding his breath and concentrating, Bai Zhi forced himself to endure the intoxication of the demonic sound. He slightly raised his head and looked out of the corridor.
In the corridor outside, a woman with only half her body left and long hair shawl was lying on the ground and crawling forward, leaving a long trail of blood where she crawled, and that weird sound was exactly It came from the other party's mouth, and I think the scream before came was roughly the same.
After silently watching the unknown creature outside the corridor crawling past his classroom, Bai Zhi thought for a moment, lowered his head and quickly found a chair and unloaded one of the chair legs. Whispering in his mouth.
"I thought it would be a ghost type, but I didn't expect it to be a zombie type monster that can be touched and physically attacked... Are you kidding me?"
Seeing that the danger was far away, Bai Zhi did not want to stay in this dark classroom that Kira Yoshikage might like very much. Instead, he held the chair leg and pushed open the back door of the classroom and walked out.
Looking back at the intersection not far away where the blood stains disappeared, Bai Zhi carefully walked against the wall in the direction the monster came from.
It can be said that this weird place has been full of sinister hints from the beginning. The screams coming from behind, the dark classrooms on both sides, and the flickering lights in front, all... Everyone is urging those who enter here to make a choice.
Under the premise that the unknown monster behind you is about to enter this intersection, do you choose to take the unknown risk and hide in the dark classrooms on both sides, or run forward along the guidance of the lights
In most cases, normal people's choice is often the second one. This is a very simple multiple-choice question, because humans always have an inexplicable fear of darkness.
But what if we add a premise to this factor—[Shadow]
Bai Zhi has not forgotten that he entered here inexplicably because his shadow was caught by the other party. This is a very subtle reminder. His shadow exposed to the light represents danger. If you want to escape danger, you must make your shadow disappear as much as possible.
The subsequent encounter in the dark classroom also confirmed this. After all, one minute after the hand appeared, the monster in the corridor appeared. This extra minute was obviously given to those who were frightened. An escape time for those who escaped from the classroom.
Of course, these things are all Bai Zhi's own inferences, and he doesn't know whether they are true or false, but in the current situation, it is wisest to choose the option with the greatest possibility.
This corridor is not very long. Not long after, Bai Zhi walked to the intersection. When he carefully looked towards the intersection, Bai Zhi saw a door emitting a faint white light.
And coincidentally, at this moment, a strange sound came from behind, perhaps triggering a certain mechanism. The monster with half a body turned back the way it came. When it saw him, it suddenly let out a strange scream and started with a cry. It crawled toward him at an unreasonable speed.
—Looks very much like a strange species.
