The opening CG ended here, and at that moment, the figures of six players appeared in the classroom.
There are nine pairs of desks and chairs in this classroom, just divided into three rows and three columns.
At this time, the players are all sitting: From the perspective of facing the blackboard, the first row from left to right, three girls, Ruoyu, An Yueqin and Xiaoling are sitting in turn; Feng Bujue and the sixth member of the team were sitting in the middle and on the right side respectively; while Xiaotan... sat alone in the middle of the third row.
"Hey~ He really is an acquaintance." Xiao Ling turned his head at the first moment, looked at the sixth member of the team, and then blurted out this sentence.
The reason why she said "sure enough" was naturally because she had already foreseen this situation.
Therefore, there are only two kinds of people who will come to the solo queue nightmare team book, one is players without a studio background, and the other... is those top players.
Coupled with the condition that "the level is about the same as that of the Hell Frontline team", then "meeting acquaintances" is also predictable.
"Feng! No! Jue!" About two seconds later, [Swallowing Ghost Xiao] yelled; he ignored everyone, and yelled at Brother Jue, as if he had met an enemy.
"What are you shouting for..." Feng Bujue stared at the agitated Gui Xiao with dead fish eyes, and said weakly, "Are you going to take me in with the purple gold red gourd? Call me by name to see if I dare agree?"
"Cut..." After being complained by the other party, Gui Xiao also felt that he seemed a little too excited, so he pouted and continued. "So calm... you don't pay attention to me at all..."
"Your 1.6-meter tall stature, I can't fit my eyes." Feng Bujue's ability to ridicule is indeed innate and natural, "I have always respected you in my heart."
"I'm 1.69 meters! And I'm still growing!" Hearing the topic of height, Gui Xiao couldn't stand it, he raised his voice again and shouted.
"It's okay, I have a big heart. I can pretend that you are 0.5 centimeters taller." Brother Jue waved his hand and replied with a half-smile.
"How long are you going to discuss this issue of height?" At this moment, Ruoyu who was at the side couldn't listen any longer, and stopped the two guys from talking nonsense.
Just as he finished speaking, a system notification sounded.
[Your character abilities have been limited, and now you are playing an ordinary person.]
The same reminder sounded in the ears of the six players, and they all knew it just by exchanging glances.
"Oh... I hate this limited edition the most." Gui Xiao immediately expressed dissatisfaction, "Every time I encounter this type of script, I will fail."
"Then you are lucky today." Brother Jue said with a smile. "Today, my brothers and sisters will take you through the second level to experience the fun of the limited edition."
"Hmph..." Gui Xiao crossed his hands in front of his chest, "Listen to you blowing..."
"Anyway, let's confirm your identities first." At this moment, An Yueqin turned her head and said to everyone, "If nothing else happens, our roles have already been assigned..." She said as she spoke. At the same time, he pointed to the upper left corner of his desk.
Just where she was pointing, there were three words engraved—Sanqianyuan.
This word... was engraved with something like a utility knife. The handwriting does not look like that of an adult; of course, lettering is not writing after all, and it cannot be ruled out that the font is out of shape because of the difficulty of carving.
"This is the surname of the character we are playing." Xiao Ling has also noticed the words engraved on his desk for a long time. It is also in the upper left corner, with the same handwriting, engraved with the word "Convex Shou", "Speaking of... I seem to have picked up a very rare surname at random."
"Oh! I have them here too." Xiaotan obviously discovered the engraving on the table after being reminded by his teammates, "It's called Sawada."
"I engraved 'source' here." Ruoyu continued.
"Ha~" Gui Xiao also saw the lettering on his desk at this moment. "'Yamada'... I always think it's a bad name." He was a little inexplicably lost.
"Well..." After everyone had reported the surnames engraved on their desks, Brother Jue slowly continued, "I have... the engraved '冨樫'..."
silence.
There was a lengthy silence.
I don't know why, but after Brother Jue reported those two words, the other five people cast strange glances at him one after another. And they stopped talking.
"Then what..." After nearly a minute, Feng Bujue still broke the silence and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, didn't someone shout at the end of the opening CG? Why didn't you hear it..."
"Uh... maybe... when we loaded the characters, we had already finished shouting." Xiao Tan was also very interesting, and took the sentence casually.
"Hmm..." Feng Bujue touched his chin and said, "The main task has not been refreshed for a long time, that is to say... we need to trigger the FLAG to do it." While speaking, he stood up and walked to the podium, "Let's Let's look around and see if there are any clues."
Hearing this, everyone didn't say much, and each started searching.
According to the habit, people usually check the things closest to them at this time, such as... the inside of the desk.
But soon they determined that the interior of the nine desks was empty, not even scraps of paper.
Then, everyone investigated the surrounding things one by one according to the "suspicious degree".
At the same moment, Feng Bujue picked up an old newspaper on the podium, he didn't know if it was an addiction, he stood there and read it...
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
The results of the survey are as follows...
The sliding door of the classroom was locked and could not be opened, and when I forcibly pulled it, I did not hear a prompt such as "need a key".
The windows facing the playground and corridors were all closed, and when approaching, a reminder of "sealed by some dark power" appeared. Looking out through the glass, it was pitch black, and only my own shadow could be seen.
The arrangement order of the lockers at the side and rear of the classroom is the same as that of the desks and chairs when viewed from above. When trying to open it, a "key is required" prompt appears.
There is a wooden bookcase to the right of the podium. Also can't open.
There is a painting on the wall on the left hand side of the podium, with a huge human face drawn on it. It seems that the style of painting does not seem to be at the level that elementary school students can have. To be more specific-abstract.
There is also storage space inside the podium, but it also "requires a key" to open it.
To sum up, after preliminary investigation. The clues still focused on the old newspaper on the podium, if there is any hint... it should be there.
"So... what's going on with you, Captain?" Xiao Ling asked Brother Jue after briefly explaining the information collected by everyone.
"Well... First of all..." Feng Bujue put down the newspaper in his hand, "This is a May newspaper, dated May 19th."
"What does that mean?" Gui Xiao asked.
"Do you remember that the first sentence of the narration is-'This is a summer evening'." Feng Bujue continued.
"Oh..." Gui Xiao nodded, "So?"
"Judging from the layout of the classroom, the names on the desks, and the atmosphere of the script..." An Yueqin explained at this time, "This is undoubtedly a horror story that happened in Japan, and Japan and us are both in the northern hemisphere, so its' Summer' should be June, July, and August every year."
"That is to say..." Ruoyu also continued. "Is this newspaper from a month or two ago?"
"Not necessarily..." Feng Bujue replied, "The year on the newspaper is Showa 47, that is, 1972; it may be a newspaper from a month or two ago, or a newspaper from a year or two ago, It may even be a newspaper from ten or twenty years ago..." He paused, "We have no way of guessing the time when this script took place, as well as the specific ages of these characters, graduation year and other information... because the narration did not mention the "present" For the specific time, I only said 'I haven't seen you for many years', and this 'many years'... can be more than ten years, twenty years, or even thirty or forty years."
"But..." Xiao Tan was suspicious when he heard this. "Didn't he also say 'everyone hasn't changed much'? Doesn't that mean it hasn't been too long?"
"Not necessarily." Feng Bujue immediately replied with these two words, and continued. "Most people will say that when they reunite with their childhood partners after many years; because people's childhood memories are the deepest, as long as they recognize the person in front of them, the memory at that time will be awakened, Then the face in my memory will overlap with the face in front of me... Coupled with some 'emotional' factors, it will naturally say something like 'there is no change'."
"That's right. This is the most frequently heard line at class reunions." An Yueqin immediately continued.
"Hey, hey... I said..." Gui Xiao seemed a little impatient at the moment, "Why are you researching those? Is it necessary to pick out the background of the characters so carefully? Isn't the point now not to trigger the FLAG, first receive the Shall we talk about the main mission?".
His words immediately attracted the onlookers of the Hell Frontline team.
"You... why are you looking at me like this..." Gui Xiao read, "It's weird."
"I kind of understand why you guys can't pass the 'limited ability script'." Feng Bujue shrugged and shook his head. "Patience is too bad."
"Cut..." Gui Xiao read with sideways eyes when he heard it, "This line and tone seem familiar... I always feel that Brother Chan has said similar things to me."
The "Brother Zen" in his mouth is naturally drinking... oh no... Dream startled Zen.
"Eh? By the way, why don't you arrange the book with your teammates in the studio?" Mentioning Brother Chan, Xiao Tan also thought of something.
"Uh... this..." Gui Xiao hesitated.
"This may involve the secrets of his studio, so don't ask." Xiao Ling also has a strong ability to detect words and emotions, and reminded Xiao Ling with his elbow when he saw it.
"Oh! I'm sorry." Xiaotan smiled coyly, "Just pretend I didn't ask."
"Well... Actually, there is nothing bad to say." Gui Xiao curled his lips, "You are not professional gamers anyway, as long as you don't gossip, it's okay to tell you about this..." He paused for half a second, then continued, " When leveling up, our studio will arrange complementary team formations according to each person's characteristics; and I... I belong to the kind of person who is more suitable for solo queue." Gui Xiao spread his hands, quite proudly He continued, "To put it bluntly... I will 100% become an 'excess combat power' in the 'unlimited ability script'."
"Conversely, it's a burden in this kind of book." Feng Bujue poured cold water on the other party just two seconds after he sneered.
"Stop rambling!" Gui Xiao said, "Didn't you just say that you want to take me through the level! It's been ten minutes since the script started, and you haven't even found the main mission! What are you being arrogant about?"
"Don't worry, Yamada-kun." Feng Bujue said with a smile, "I'm going to tell you something closely related to the main story right now."
Immediately afterwards, with a smile on his face and in a very relaxed tone, Brother Jue said something that made one's scalp tingle: "According to what I read in the past few minutes...all the articles in this newspaper The news is all about a school. Of course, if there is no accident...it refers to the school we are in." As he spoke, he gestured to the seat in the corner of the last row of the classroom with his eyes, " The headline on the front page was-'The warehouse opposite the principal's office caught fire. Although the fire did not spread, a student was still killed in the fire'; and the name of the dead student... was Takayuki Suzuki."
When he uttered these words, his teammates... especially Xiao Tan and Gui Xiao were in a state of shock.
Because they all remember - the name engraved on the upper left corner of that seat is exactly "Suzuki".
"You mean..." Two seconds later, Ruoyu was the first to continue, "That Suzuki is the squad leader who hasn't shown up for a long time?" She paused for a second, then continued, "Is this illogical?"
"Yeah..." Xiaoling also said, "Just treat him as the class monitor. This Suzuki was burned to death when he was a student, and the incident was reported in the newspaper. There is no reason for his classmates not to know about it; Under this premise, the situation of 'received a letter from him' can scare people half to death, who will go to the appointment?"
"It makes sense." An Yueqin thought for a while and added, "From the tone of the narration... no matter who the real monitor is, at least the students who came to the appointment think he or she is still alive and well, so it can't be Suzuki."
"Well, a good judgment." Feng Bujue listened to everyone's opinions, and continued, "So, the actual situation may be... Suzuki Takayuki was indeed a member of this class, but he was not the class president, and he was a member of the class. The era was burned to death, so it did not appear at today's party. It is also possible... Suzuki who was burned to death was not a member of this class, but he was also a member of this school. After all, Suzuki is a relatively common surname in Japan."
At this point, Brother Jue changed the subject: "But..."(.)
