Early the next morning, Ye Xu slept until he woke up naturally before getting up. Anyway, Li Gui couldn't get in, so he wasn't in a hurry to get out.
After getting out of bed, he realized that Li Gui had left before six o'clock in the morning.
"Can we hide in the dormitory and not go out?" Player A asked in an expectant tone.
Ye Xu thought it might not work, but he didn't say anything. Sometimes the truth cannot be said casually, and it is easy to be hated.
Sure enough, after a while, the system issued a new announcement.
[System Announcement: Dormitory Safety Timetable: 20:00 to 8:00 the next day.]
Player A froze: "What do you mean by safe moment?"
"It means that after this time, even if you stay in the dormitory, ghosts can come in and trouble you." Player B kindly explained.
So after eight o'clock, don't expect the dormitory to bless you.
"Fuck!" Player A scolded irritably.
Ye Xu ignored him and ran to the sink to wash up. I don't know whose toothbrush is on the side of the sink, so he is useless, so he can simply rinse his mouth and wash his face.
After finishing these, he and his second brother went out directly, regardless of it being less than eight o'clock.
"Where are you going?" Player B asked quickly.
Ye Xu looked at him strangely: "Go to the cafeteria and have breakfast."
Player B: "..."
oh, I see.
Because of the one night of suffering together, he finally felt a little bit of distress for the two of them. But obviously, the other party is not willing to act together with them.
"Forget it." Player B could only comfort himself, "I don't want to partner with them yet."
One of these two people drew the last death buff, and the other triggered the hell mode and killed all players. He didn't dislike them.
"What's for breakfast?" When going downstairs, the second brother asked while checking the map.
Ye Xu thought about it carefully: "I don't have much appetite in the morning, shall we go out to eat wontons?"
In the back street outside the school, there is a store of Qianlixiang Wonton, opened by a couple from Fujian. Their wontons are delicious, unlike those fake brands outside under the banner of Qianlixiang, and they are not tasty and the quantity is small. Each wonton is filled with half a soybean-sized meat filling, which feels like eating boiled wonton wrappers. .
The second brother is not picky about food, so he readily accepted the proposal. Anyway, the two ghosts on the map are wandering around the campus, and they won't go to the back street for a while, so they can take the opportunity to have a meal.
Dodging the cameras in the corridor and teleporting outside the campus saved a lot of time in the past. When the wontons were on the table, Ye Xu suddenly remembered the avatar he had forgotten.
"How's the avatar going?" he asked.
The second brother also remembered that after he broke up the avatars last night, he hadn't gathered them back together. While taking back yesterday's divine power, he talked about the matter.
"Aren't they following two NPCs? Why are they guarding outside the female player's bedroom?" Ye Xu was very puzzled.
"I don't know, you can link the memory to see what happened."
"it is good."
Ye Xu closed his eyes, and quickly browsed the memory of the avatar.
It turned out that before returning to the dormitory last night, one of the NPCs had already touched an item with curse power, so Ye Xu's avatar stopped staring at them and followed the two female players passing by.
One is because the object has been found, and the other is because the NPC passed by the object at close range, while the player passed by at a long distance. The avatar was a little curious about whether this different degree of contact would have any effect on the effective time of the curse, so he wanted to experiment.
So, while observing the NPC with his senses, he followed the female player and monitored them together.
He doesn't know the second brother's avatar.
Ye Xu opened his eyes and told the story, and the second brother also quickly told what happened to his clone. This avatar was nothing special. After following the NPC for a day, nothing happened. The NPC went back to the dormitory at night. He made sure there were no cursed items in the dormitory, so he ran to find Ye Xu's avatar.
It's mainly because it's too boring to be alone, so find someone to chat with. Moreover, the second brother's avatar inherited his second brother's character, so he couldn't help but want to take care of Ye Xu's avatar.
"Now I found a cursed item. It is a small red lantern decoration hanging on the school bulletin board."
This decoration is everywhere on the campus, because it was hung up in order to exaggerate the festive atmosphere because of the school celebration some time ago. At first glance, I thought it was almost Chinese New Year.
The bulletin board was on the only way to the girls' dormitory, and Ye Xu and the others wouldn't pass by on their way back to the dormitory, so they didn't find it. The NPC walked to the bulletin board and stopped for a while, looking at the posters on it for a long time.
The other two female players passed by directly on the other side of the road, and had no long-term or close contact. And the remaining NPC went to the badminton court to play for a while in the afternoon, so it is equivalent to bypassing this side and returning to the dormitory by other paths.
The second brother was thoughtful: "If it is hung on the bulletin board, most people will not touch it. It can be seen that the condition for the curse to take effect does not have to be touched, as long as it is close, it will hinder it. It can be seen that the closer you get, the more effective the curse will be." stronger."
So the two female players should have been affected as well, but relatively slightly. Since other ordinary NPCs have never played the game, the item curse cannot hurt them, and they may be a little unlucky at best.
At this time, the wontons were also served, and Ye Xu ate hard. The second brother ordered the two clones to continue to follow the player and the NPC who hadn't touched the cursed item, and the other one was released.
After having breakfast with Ye Xu, Ye Xu scanned the dormitory with his senses, and found that the two people were still in the dormitory, and it seemed that they had made up their minds not to move. As long as the ghosts don't come, they won't leave.
"It's not easy to escape from the dormitory, why don't you want to leave?" Ye Xu couldn't understand their choice.
"Because you feel at ease." The second brother said, "A place like a dormitory is just like home, and it feels more secure than outside."
And they have a map, it is estimated that they are confident that they can run away before the ghosts approach. But with all due respect, it is really not a good choice to find Li Gui approaching the dormitory, and then rush down to the sixth floor and then run out. After all, this dormitory building has only one entrance, and the rest of the safety exits are all locked and generally not opened.
Therefore, Li Gui moved so fast, and when they ran downstairs to get out, they might meet Li Gui head-on at the entrance of the building. This trick is really stupid, but the two of them don't listen to persuasion very much, I'm afraid they won't be willing to obey.
Ye Xu and the others didn't bother to remind each other, and let them play by themselves.
"Go to the bulletin board first?" Ye Xu suggested.
"Can."
They decided to check out the little cursed lantern, since there wasn't much else to do anyway.
The road from the girls' dormitory leads directly to the back door of the school, so you can just walk there without detours. It's just that the opening time of the back door is not very good. It always opens for 30 minutes when students go to class, and the express delivery point is just outside the back door. It takes a long detour to walk from the front door. So those who try to pick up a courier on the way before class, don't even think about it.
The back door didn't open at the moment, Ye Xu took a look, the security guard in the security booth was keeping his head down and taking notes, not paying attention to what happened outside. He simply jumped over the wall and jumped in, followed by the second brother.
"Handsome!" Some students standing behind the door waiting for the opening time exclaimed, and the girls looked at the two of them in amazement.
Ye Xu belatedly realizes that this action is a bit secondary, especially like the high school truant bully in the novel. He hurriedly dragged his second brother away to avoid attracting onlookers.
The security guard looked up when he heard the movement, but found nothing, then lowered his head and continued to write the report.
"The fence is so high, how did they jump over it?" The girls chattered together.
"Bravo!"
"And he's also handsome! It's a pity that he ran too fast and didn't have time to call."
"Even if he didn't leave, I wouldn't dare to ask for a phone..."
Avoiding the crowd of spectators, two minutes later, the two stood outside the bulletin board and observed that thing from a distance.
"Why did you choose it as a cursed item? There is logic in the dungeon, and something will not become a bad thing for no reason." Ye Xu frowned and thought.
There are so many lanterns on campus, but this one is a cursed item, which is strange. It can only be said that there should be no problem when the lantern is made and bought back, and the power of the curse was acquired later.
The second brother used the power of time and space on the lantern to see what happened to it. Ye Xu doesn't know how to do this, he can only check the past of living things, not dead things.
So he waited quietly for a while, and after a few minutes, the second brother said: "This lantern was not hung up during the school celebration, it was there a long time ago. About two years ago, the student union re-arranged the bulletin board, saying it was to add some decorations It is decorated in an antique style to attract the attention of the students."
So at that time they not only hung lanterns on it, but also pasted some lace such as wooden windows. It looks like the kind of house in ancient times, pushing open the window and looking out of the window, as if seeing something on the bulletin board.
After a long time, the lace was not sticky enough to fall off, so the student union cleaned it up. Only this lantern was tied so tightly that the rope was cut off with scissors.
It coincides with the end of the term, and the winter vacation is about to start, and lanterns are hung up everywhere in the school. They simply left the lantern, but when dismantling nearby things, a female student accidentally cut her hand, and blood stained it.
Later, the girl died unexpectedly, and the blood she left behind had a faint curse power attached to it. The second brother speculated that the girl would die, maybe it was because of playing the game, so there was a curse power on it that could promote the progress of the game.
"No, the curse power on it is quite strong." Ye Xu was a little surprised.
The second brother thought for a while: "Maybe it's because many later gamers died earlier because of it, which deepened the curse on it."
Ye Xu nodded, such a guess is indeed much more reliable.
The two of them didn't get close, and left after seeing it from a distance. At this moment, the system announcement sounded again.
[System Announcement: The cursed NPC Su Qin died and turned into a ghost, please be careful!]
