Wen Qing ignored Oz, and moved forward, further away from Oz.
He glanced back from the corner of his eye, Ozzy did not follow, and a normal social distance was maintained between the two.
Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
After expelling the so-called evil spirits, the high priest solemnly asked everyone to start praying.
The difference from yesterday was that there was only one teacher, Mr. Chen, in the temple today, and none of the other teachers showed up.
Wen Qing stood in the middle of the crowd, fishing in the open and aboveboard.
After praying for a whole morning, it was not until the lunch break that everyone was allowed to leave the temple and go to the cafeteria.
Wen Qing quickly found Bai Tong and Li Jingjing.
Bai Tong whispered: "Look for Ji Junfeng first, he has a problem."
Wen Qing whispered: "He hasn't attended class these two days, and I haven't seen him in the dormitory."
He seemed to have disappeared, and none of the other classmates, teachers, etc. cared about his disappearance.
Thinking about it now, on the first day they arrived in the dungeon, Ji Junfeng had a class in the classroom.
Li Jingjing murmured softly, "My good fellow, this clue is actually playing hide-and-seek with us."
She glanced around and saw that there was no teacher around, so she reached out and grabbed a classmate, pretending to be menacing: "Hey, did you see that kid Ji Junfeng?"
The classmate was not frightened by her appearance, but asked suspiciously, "Why are you looking for him?"
Li Jingjing sneered: "We're going to beat him up!"
"It's God's birthday soon."
It's a reasonable excuse to beat someone up for luck.
The classmate gave a calm oh, pointed to the students around him calmly, and said to them: "See, these are people who are looking for him."
"We all want to beat him up in the last few days to get the attention of the high priest. That kid probably knows where he is hiding and dare not come out."
Li Jingjing paused, so it seemed that Ji Junfeng's excuse for disappearing was more reasonable. .
The classmate pulled back his clothes, took two steps, then turned around and said to them with a smile: "Brother, find someone to beat up with."
Walking to a place with few people, Wen Qing leaned into Bai Tong's ear and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Ji Junfeng?"
Bai Tong analyzed in a low voice: "At present, it seems that Ji Junfeng did not lie to us. The activities before God's birthday are choosing auspicious time, expelling evil spirits, burning incense, and praying. These activities are fixed."
"I thought it was a blessing dance to exorcise evil spirits... Now it seems that the high priest needs a reason to kill people."
Bai Tong said flatly: "Ji Junfeng once experienced a god's birthday, knowing about it, but the high priest let him stay in this school."
Wen Qing pursed her lips. Jiang Jing said that at the beginning, everyone liked Ji Junfeng very much.
If Ji Junfeng had said it at the time, some students should have believed him.
Li Jingjing frowned and said, "Did he not say it? Or can't he say it?"
"Is there such a possibility? For example, last year's high priest was still normal? Exorcising evil spirits is also a normal activity, so Ji Junfeng is fine?"
Wen Qing expanded his thinking because of Li Jingjing's words, he thought for a while, and asked: "Could it be that God thought Ji Junfeng was good-looking, so he kept him?"
He felt that this was something Yu Xing would do.
Li Jingjing nodded thoughtfully: "It's possible, it's possible, so is it a sadomasochism triangle?"
"..."
Bai Tong was silent for a moment, and couldn't help reminding: "You are all making excuses for him."
Li Jingjing smiled and said without changing his expression, "He's pretty."
Wen Qing lowered his eyes and whispered, "I also hope he is a good person."
Bai Tong pursed his lips: "Ji Junfeng is squeezed out in this school, and his sense of existence is very weak. Teachers and students don't care about his life or death."
"Thinking about it from another angle, the identity of a weak person can make everyone relax their vigilance, and besides, he can freely move about in this school."
"He doesn't have to go to the cafeteria, he doesn't have to participate in the activities of choosing auspicious occasions and exorcising evil spirits..."
Bai Tong raised his eyelids, and said flatly: "He can avoid occasions where the high priest appears in a fair manner."
Wen Qing was stunned, the words sound familiar.
It often appears in TV shows and movies.
Generally speaking, the result of this routine is...
Ji Junfeng and the High Priest are the same person
Wen Qing was a little confused: "If Ji Junfeng is really the same person as the high priest, why is he being beaten all the time?"
Bai Tong turned his head to look at him: "Maybe because he likes it."
Wen Qing was dazed, recalling several times of contact with Ji Junfeng, he really didn't seem to be so disgusted and repulsed by pain.
Because Ji Junfeng likes it, so your clue is bullying
Wen Qing directly asked the system: [System, is it a secret of the seminary that Ji Junfeng and the high priest are the same person?]
001 did not prompt.
Is the answer wrong
Wen Qing was a little puzzled.
Bai Tong saw what he did just now at a glance, and now he was thinking that it was all right, he laughed and said, "It's not necessarily wrong."
"There is another possibility that we haven't analyzed yet."
Wen Qing thought for a while and asked, "Is it about the expelled students?"
Bai Tong couldn't guarantee it, and said to him, "Maybe."
"For a question with 100 points, we may only get 30 points now."
Wen Qing was even more puzzled: "Aren't you going to give me a reminder in thirty minutes?"
The corner of Li Jingjing's mouth twitched, and he said to Wen Qing very experienced: "No."
"Thirty points, according to the logic of the system, no points will be given for rounding."
Wen Qing: "..."
Li Jingjing raised the corner of his mouth: "So at this time, many players will feel that their analysis is wrong."
"Then I walked towards the wrong answer without looking back. I was almost cheated once before."
Wen Qing couldn't help but said: "This system is too scheming!"
In the next second, he heard 001's sneer.
Wen Qing's expression froze.
Seeing this, Bai Tong frowned: "What's wrong?"
Wen Qing whispered: "My system seems to be a little unhappy."
Li Jingjing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Well, your system has a pretty big temper."
She poked Wen Qing's shoulder and said to his chest: "We didn't say you were scheming."
001: […]
Wen Qing silently praised the main system in her heart, it is really a brilliant system, in order to train the players to come up with this wonderful scoring method...
001: […]
After lunch, there is a two-hour lunch break.
The three of them searched all over the school, went to the dormitory building and the library, but they still couldn't find Ji Junfeng.
There is still prayer class in the afternoon, so I can only go back to the classroom for the time being.
Li Jingjing looked at the high priest's building from a distance while walking, and said in a low voice: "You think Ji Junfeng will not be imprisoned by the high priest, right?"
"If they weren't alone, it's time to stage the prison play and then slaughter the seminary for love."
Wen Qing's train of thought was immediately diverted, does this sound reasonable
Bai Tong couldn't help laughing, and said to him: "Don't really believe her words."
"However..." Bai Tong paused, and looked up at the high priest's building, "Ji Junfeng might be there."
This is the only place they haven't looked for yet.
The three of them discussed and decided to find an opportunity to go to the High Priest Building after dinner, so they returned to the classroom first.
Before he reached the door of the classroom, he saw the remaining two players squatting in the corner of the corridor, whispering something.
Seeing them coming, the two players looked at each other and hurried away.
After walking to another secluded corner, the short player said, "It's only Wednesday, and God's birthday will be three days away. We now have 72 people. If three people die, that's exactly 69 people."
Another player's face changed: "Then what should I do?"
Zhao Wu gritted his teeth: "Those people may not have lied to us, we have to violate the school rules first."
Sun Xin quickly asked: "But if we also violate the school rules, how will people die in the next few days?"
Zhao Wu glared at him: "If we violate the school rules now, we will be equal to other players. Who do you choose with a one-half or one-eighth chance of death?"
Sun Xin: "Eight, one-eighth."
Zhao Wu stood up and said to him, "Wait for the curfew at night."
... ... ...
The night was getting dark.
Wen Qing and Li Jingjing followed Bai Tong and walked slowly to the gate of the High Priest Building.
At 5:30 in the evening, I don’t know if it’s a matter of time, many teachers come and go in and out of this building, come in, go out, come in, go out...
The high priest's building looked very lively, and several people didn't find a chance to sneak in.
Li Jingjing frowned: "What should I do?"
Bai Tong leaned against the wall and said softly: "Wait a little longer."
Wen Qing was a little nervous, and asked in a low voice, "What if we bump into the teacher later? What are we going to say? What are we going to do?"
Li Jingjing quickly said: "Pah, pee, we won't be so unlucky."
Bai Tong laughed and said to him: "It's not the curfew time, it's normal for us to appear wherever we are."
Li Jingjing touched his chin and continued, "If we are really caught, we will be fascinated by the high priest's demeanor, and we can't help but want to get closer to him."
Wen Qing always had a bad feeling, and he asked again: "Then what if we bump into the high priest directly?"
Li Jingjing said: "Then tell him, we are fascinated by you, and we can't help but want to get closer to you."
Wen Qing asked weakly: "Couldn't he just let the vines eat us?"
Li Jingjing's expression changed slightly: "Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah."
Wen Qing: "Bah, bah, bah."
From 5:30 to 6:30, it was getting darker and darker, and the school gradually became quieter.
The figures of the teachers in the hall on the first floor gradually disappeared.
Bai Tong glanced at the time and said in a low voice, "Go in now."
The first floor was a very ordinary hall. The three of them walked past here before going to the basement last night, found the stairs in the corner, and went up to the second floor.
Walking up to the second floor, you will see a huge transparent flower room. The flower room is located in the middle of the second floor and occupies almost all the places. It is full of various flowers and trees, growing vigorously under the lights.
Although she didn't see any vines, Wen Qing always felt a little fuzzy in her heart, for fear that a vine would sneak out of the soil sometime.
Bai Tong glanced around, looked at the only door on the side of the greenhouse, and said in a low voice, "Go and have a look."
Walking to the door, Bai Tong turned the lock.
With a "click", the entire door lock fell out of the door.
Wen Qing froze for a moment, did someone come here before them
Bai Tong pursed his lips, put away the lock, and pushed the door open.
This is a very normal office, with tables, chairs, bookshelves, and even a sculpture of a god that is as tall as a person.
Bai Tong looked at the door lock in his hand, frowned slightly, strode forward, and directly opened the drawer.
As expected, it is empty.
Like the teacher's office in the teaching building, it's fake.
Wen Qing blinked, and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that all the offices are fake?"
Bai Tong frowned: "It should be hidden."
"Since there are yearbooks and school history, it shows that the seminary is operating normally, and there must be files of previous students."
Wen Qing pondered, there are only a few buildings in total.
First of all, the canteen, dormitory, and teaching building are excluded, then only the library and here are left.
They visited the library at noon, but they didn't see any office or other rooms.
Bai Tong lowered his eyes and said, "There is only the second floor here."
"The first floor is the hall, and the second floor is the greenhouse."
Excluding the first and second floors, there is only...
Wen Qing's eyelids twitched, and she asked softly, "Is it the basement?"
Hearing these three words, Li Jingjing's face turned pale, and he cursed, "Damn it, it's probably in the basement."
"It's a confinement room. No one wants to get close to it. It's very safe."
Bai Tong glanced at the clock on the wall: "There is still a twenty-minute curfew."
"Go down first."
The three of them are very familiar with the way to the basement.
When he came to the statue, he stopped.
Wen Qing looked at the statue that was much taller than her, and her body felt a little chilly for no reason.
He couldn't help leaning closer to Bai Tong, looking at the two roads in front of him.
One was for him and Ozzy last night, and the other was for Li Jingjing and Bai Tong last night.
There are gloomy iron gates on both sides of the road, and the road, which is spacious enough to accommodate three people in parallel, is extremely oppressed by these iron gates.
Li Jingjing pointed to the road on the right, and said in a low voice, "This is a dead end. I was locked in the innermost room yesterday."
Wen Qing thought for a while, then whispered, "Then go to the one on the left?"
"There seems to be a corner in this road, but I was not taken there yesterday."
Li Jingjing had a psychological shadow of the confinement room, rubbed his arms, and urged: "Let's go over and have a look."
Bai Tong walked in the front, and the three of them walked straight forward, and after passing the corner, a door appeared.
This door is made of wood, brown solid wood, which stands out among the iron doors.
Bai Tong stepped forward, listened sideways for a while, and tried to push the door.
With a creak, the door opened.
This is an archive room, not very big, with only three bookshelves, the bookshelves are full of folders, and the year is pasted on each folder.
Li Jingjing glanced at the room, although there were lights, but it was surrounded by walls, which gave her a bad association.
She quickly said: "I don't want to enter the room here, you two go in and look for it, and I will watch the wind."
Wen nodded lightly and walked into the file room.
He picked up a folder with 1949 in its name, opened it, and found it was empty.
Wen Qing froze for a moment, then picked up the second book, which was also empty.
Bai Tong frowned, and quickly glanced at the folders on the bookshelf, they were all empty.
"This is from before 1950."
The three bookshelves are marked with years.
[Before 1950]
[1950—2000]
[2000—2021]
The bookshelf before 1950 was empty, and among the other two bookshelves, Wen Qing stopped decisively in front of the bookshelf for 2021 and picked up a folder.
You can feel the difference in weight right away.
There is something in it.
He quickly opened the folder and saw Qian Gangfeng's information, which included his name, gender, birthday, address, enrollment time, and so on.
Wen Qing whispered: "There are."
Bai Tong walked over quickly.
Wen lightly turned to the next page, the second page was Qian Gangfeng's photo, which was different from the color photo in the library, it was a black and white photo, like a posthumous photo.
Wen Qing continued to scroll down, the next one was Yang Fan, and his photo was also in black and white.
After that, there are five more black and white photos.
They are all students enrolled in this year in 2021.
In the back, the photos of other students are all in normal color.
Apparently, the people in the black and white photos are dead.
The five students who were expelled were actually dead.
Wen lightly pursed his lips, continued to flip through, and saw his profile.
name, age, birthday...
His eyes suddenly stopped, staring at the address in the information column.
This address is his address in the real world, the dormitory of the university he studied in, and it is even accurate to the specific dormitory number.
He opened his mouth, wanting to speak to Bai Tong, but before he could utter the first word, there was a slight movement outside the door.
Li Jingjing was reminding them that someone was coming.
The next second, Teacher Chen's voice sounded outside the door: "Li Jingjing."
Li Jingjing responded exaggeratedly: "Hey! My dear Teacher Chen."
Teacher Chen asked coldly, "What did I say?"
"Students are not allowed to approach here."
Li Jingjing quickly said: "I know, but I can't help it. The high priest who exorcises evil spirits today is really handsome. I'm just an obsessed, lustful person, and I can't wait to find the high priest..."
"I searched the whole building and found no one, so I came here."
Teacher Chen was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "The curfew time is up."
Li Jingjing's face changed, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Teacher, I'll leave immediately."
Teacher Chen: "Li Jingjing violated Article 3 of the school rules and was confined for 6 hours."
After finishing speaking, he ignored Li Jingjing and went straight to the file room, as if he knew someone was inside.
Seeing this, Li Jingjing quickly grabbed his right hand: "Mr. Chen! I want to report, there are still people upstairs."
Teacher Chen glanced at his hands, stopped, and turned to look at Li Jingjing.
Li Jingjing: "Really! He also wants to find the high priest, and he wants to compete with me!"
Teacher Chen raised his left hand, opened the door of the confinement room next to him, and motioned for Li Jingjing to enter.
Li Jingjing walked slowly to the door, staring closely at Teacher Chen's movements, and was relieved when he saw him turn around and walk out.
On the other side, Bai Tong heard the footsteps outside the door fading away, pursed his lips, and said to Wen Qing: "Let's go first."
Wen lightly clutched the folder and nodded.
As soon as he reached the door, several footsteps sounded outside the door.
Bai Tong's expression changed, and he immediately pulled Wen Qing back.
Immediately afterwards there was the sound of the door opening and closing, and it sounded like someone was being locked up again.
The two hid in the corner behind the bookshelf, Wen Qing's back was pressed against the wall, nervous to the point that her heart was beating wildly.
Soon, he felt something was wrong.
Something was moving on the wall.
To be precise, the entire wall is moving.
Wen Qing's eyelashes trembled, she didn't dare to make a sound, she subconsciously tugged at Bai Tong's sleeves, turned her head, and met Shang Bai Tong's suddenly shrunken eyes.
Before Wen Qing could react, her whole body seemed to have fallen into a swamp, and she fell into it in the blink of an eye.
"click".
The archives door opened.
Teacher Chen stood at the door, looking at Bai Tong beside the wall expressionlessly: "Bai Tong violated Article 3 of the school rules. Because he violated the school rules many times, he was confined for 24 hours."
*****
The feeling of weightlessness made Wen Qing unable to make a sound, he opened his eyes wide, and after ten seconds, he fell on a soft and elastic object.
It was pitch black below, Wen Qing suddenly came to this place from the light, couldn't see anything, and instinctively groped for things around her.
Immediately afterwards, he touched the familiar, thin and long vines.
Everywhere.
Wen Qing was stiff all over, realizing that the soft cushion under his buttocks were all these vines.
The vines are intertwined with each other, forming a net-like thing layer by layer.
The only good thing is that these vines did not move, lying quietly as if they were asleep.
Wen Qing's eyes turned red instantly with fright, he, why did he fall into someone else's lair!
I remember that Bai Tong wanted to catch him before he fell, Wen Qing exhaled and called softly: "Bai Tong?"
His voice was very soft, but it was extremely clear underground, as if it had been amplified several times, echoing with echoes.
Bai Tong didn't respond, but the vine responded to him and moved slightly.
Wen Qing's body became more stiff, and she comforted herself silently, it seems that Baitong didn't fall down, the vines didn't wake up, the vines didn't wake up...
After a while, Wen Qing got used to the darkness in front of her eyes, and vaguely saw a path a few meters away, which was a different color from the vines.
He held his breath and stood up tremblingly, for fear that the vine would suddenly move.
Wen Qing pinched her palms nervously, and walked slowly towards the path.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Suddenly, the vines under his feet moved slightly.
Wen Qing froze, not daring to move.
The vines under his feet seemed to be convulsed in sleep, moving for a while and then not moving.
The small road is just two steps away, Wen Qing took a deep breath, no matter what happens, he ran up the small road quickly, and ran forward without looking back.
The sound of his footsteps was extremely clear underground, as if it had been amplified several times.
Soon, Wen Qing heard the familiar rustling sound echoing behind her.
Getting closer and louder.
A cold wind came from behind, and Wen Qing felt the vines wrapped around her ankles, slowly winding, tightening, and pulling back.
It's like a snake entangled its prey with its tail, trying to tear it apart and eat it.
Wen Qing's mind went blank, she struggled subconsciously, and in the next second, his wrist was also pulled.
He reached out his hand tremblingly, trying to get the thing in his hand.
With a "pop", Wen Qing froze for a moment.
What grabbed his hand didn't seem to be vines.
Suddenly, an extremely weak voice suddenly sounded in the ear: "Don't move."
It was Ozzy's voice.
If she hadn't seen Ozzy's voice, Wen Qing would have thought it was her hallucination.
He didn't dare to move any more, he stood stiffly, vaguely saw Oz pull out something, bent down, and soon, the vines wrapped around his feet lost their strength.
Wen Qing stammered, "Thanks... um—"
Before he could speak the second word, Oz covered his mouth.
Ozzy bowed his head, leaned into his ear, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Don't wake it up."
Wen Qing nodded nervously.
Oz lowered his eyes, his night vision was excellent, and he could clearly see Wen Qing's appearance.
His face was very small, and he just wanted to cover his mouth, but he directly covered most of his face. The palm of his hand was his tense breathing, which was warm, moist, and itchy.
Ozzy's fingertips moved slightly, stroking the warm and delicate skin.
When people are in the dark, other senses will be magnified.
Wen Qing felt Ozzy's movement, and he raised his eyes blankly, looking at Ozzy's face vaguely.
Oz stared into his eyes, it was obvious that Wen Qing's night vision was not good, and his pupils were a little out of focus.
His eyes were wide open, his eyelashes wet with tears.
It looks... well done.
Ozzy's throat moved slightly, smelling the fragrance on his body, he immediately picked him up and walked out.
Wen Qing's body hung in the air, she opened her mouth instinctively, and after thinking of what Ozzy said, she quickly swallowed back her cry, and firmly grasped Ozzy's clothes with both hands.
Ozzy walks like a feline without making any noise.
Wen Qing didn't struggle, and lay quietly in Oz's arms.
In the darkness, all he could hear was his beating heart.
After an unknown amount of time, a gleam of light finally appeared in front of Wen Qing's eyes.
A path of stone steps going up.
He thought it was the exit, but it wasn't until Oz went up that he realized that this place was the real lair of the vines.
There are all kinds of glowing stones and beads embedded on the wall, as if the lights are turned on, Wen Qing can clearly see the dense layers of vines covering the wall and the ground, reflecting the light green and green. people.
Oz stopped abruptly.
Wen Qing tilted her head, her expression changed.
There is a person lying in the middle of the vines, it is Ji Junfeng, he is wearing the black robe of the high priest, and his indistinguishable face is covered with complex and strange light blue lines, these lines seem to be alive, moving slowly on Ji Junfeng's face, slowly Slowly move to the neck.
As soon as the lines moved, the vines under Ji Junfeng's body also started to move.
From Wen Qing's perspective, several thin and long vines could be seen coming out of Ji Junfeng's body and burrowing into other vines.
Wen Qing was so frightened that her hands and feet became stiff and her back felt cold.
Bai Tong's analysis is correct.
Ji Junfeng and the high priest are one person, no, one vine.
Everything that happened before has an explanation.
Ji Junfeng doesn't need to eat human food, and doesn't need to go to the cafeteria.
The strange noise heard in the dormitory was the sound of vines moving.
...
Wen Qing held her breath, afraid that her rapid breathing would wake it up.
He unconsciously hooked Oz's clothes with his fingers, and asked the system in his heart: [Secret, the secret is that Ji Junfeng is the high priest, is the vine monster?]
001 still didn't respond.
Wen Qing opened her eyes wide in a daze, why not right
