"Let's put a mark on them." The second brother said after thinking for a while.
Ye Xu understood what he meant in an instant, and left a ray of divine power on each of the dozen or so people. After they dispersed, he followed them one by one to check whether there was any curse on them. In any case, these people cannot always act together, and there are always times when they are alone.
For example, now.
They are in physical education class, and today happens to be the time for physical examination. Just now the physical education teacher took someone to move the mat, and the girls are going to test sit-ups.
Now, a group of people came back with mats, put them in the shade, and called the girls to come over. More than a dozen girls walked at different speeds, some procrastinated and chatted together, and some wanted to finish the test earlier, so they quickly arrived at the mat.
The mat was separated from them by more than half of the playground, and after such a delay, the line became very long. Ye Xu quickly ruled out most of them, leaving only five people who had been chatting together and walking slowly.
"Come one by one according to the roster, and the sports committee will roll the name." The teacher stuffed the score book to the women's sports committee, and took the boys to hula la and ran to the horizontal bar next door to test the pull-ups.
Ye Xu and his second brother stood by the boys and looked at the girls.
The five-member group was quickly dismantled. One girl was the first to be selected for a physical test, and the other ran to press her leg to facilitate her test. Surrounded by a circle of girls watching the excitement, it was impossible to see what was going on inside from the outside.
The other three girls did not go to watch, but found a place far away to sit down. On a hot day, they don't want to be with so many people.
"The curse is in the crowd." The second brother raised his eyebrows, "Those three people are fine."
Ye Xu nodded, indeed.
About three minutes later, the first batch of girls even recorded their scores on test tapes and completed them all. They walked out of the crowd, each dispersed to chat and rest, and changed to another batch to test.
But the strange thing is that after the two girls came out, there was no curse on them.
"Suddenly disappeared?" The second brother was stunned for a moment, and found that the curse was still in the crowd. He frowned slightly, not knowing what was going on.
Could it be that in just three minutes, they gave the cursed thing to other people
Ye Xu suddenly remembered something: "Where is this girl's glasses?"
Ye Xu had done sit-ups before, but as a boy, he didn't expect this. So it was only in junior high school, when the school had a brain twitch and forced them to take this final exam in physical education, he did it, but he didn't touch it for many years.
However, after watching female classmates doing sit-ups for so many years, he still knows something. For example, when you do it, you need to take off your glasses and put the keys in your pocket next to the mat. Otherwise there is a high chance that the keys will fly out of the pocket and the glasses will interfere with movement.
This girl probably forgot to put on her glasses after taking them off. Of course, the glasses are not necessarily the cursed item, it may be the key she took out of her pocket or something.
Sure enough, before the girl had gone far, one of her classmates stopped her with keys and glasses: "You forgot your things."
The girl was startled, and hurried back: "Hey, I'm sorry, I don't have a good memory."
After getting used to wearing glasses, it is easy to feel awkward if you don't wear glasses. After all, you can't see clearly. Just like that, she still didn't realize that she forgot her glasses, and she really had a bad memory.
"I guess it should be the key." Ye Xu thought for a while.
By analogy with the case of the first cursed item, the red lantern, this cursed item should also be stained with someone's blood, but the other party died unexpectedly. Glasses are personal belongings, and they are generally not lent to others, and rarely touched, unless they are asked to hold them for a while during physical education class. But even then, exposure to other people's blood is unlikely.
But the keys are different. Ye Xu doesn't quite believe that after the previous class of students moved out, the next class of students would change the locks and keys before moving in. The cost is a bit high, and the school can afford it, but most universities are no different from profiteers, and don't expect them to have too much conscience.
So this key may have been used by the previous students. And it just so happened that the students in this class were freshmen, and they had just received the keys not long after they entered school.
Ye Xu thought about it and said, "I don't think there should be such a coincidence."
The second brother nodded slightly: "Freshman, the glasses seem to have been used for several years, she should be used to them. She hasn't come to school not long ago, if the glasses are a cursed item, then it must be during this period of time. The chances of someone who died accidentally getting their blood on their glasses is too low."
In the short term, there will be personal injury, the girl handed the glasses to the other party to touch, the blood happened to be stained on the glasses, and the other party died unexpectedly. These four events with low probability are not high. So they directly ruled out this possibility, and decided that the key should be a cursed item.
"But it cannot be denied that the keys may also be new. After all, some conscientious schools will change the locks to prevent graduates from stealing keys and finding opportunities to come back and steal things." Human nature is bad, and the school cannot guarantee that students must be good. Children, there is no such thing as bad character.
The second brother thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, the handle on the door lock of our dormitory looks very old."
And they are sophomores, and they have lived in it for two years, so they don't need such old handles.
Speaking of this, Ye Xu suddenly remembered something. He said with a strange expression: "When I was in college, I went to the wrong floor once. I originally lived in 530, but that day I didn't realize that I walked an extra floor and reached the sixth floor. I opened the door with the key at the door of 630 , although it took a bit of effort, but it really opened. But after I opened the door, I saw the darkness, which shocked me."
He came back from morning class, but the people in 630 were still sleeping in. They pulled the blackout curtains, and the room was pitch black and you couldn't see anything, which was really scary.
As soon as Ye Xu opened the door, he realized that he had entered the wrong bedroom, and quickly closed it quietly, without attracting the attention of the brothers upstairs. But since then, he knew that his key could not only open his bedroom, but also upstairs.
Later, I told my roommates about the matter, but I didn't expect that several roommates also did such stupid things. Also accidentally went to the wrong floor and opened the door of 630.
One of the roommates was a locksmith, and he shared a story with them. It is said that the locksmith was once invited by the management of a community to change the locks of all the doors in the community, because they found that every lock they bought was the same, and one key could open the doors of all the apartments in the community. It is estimated that the lock was bought cheaply at the beginning, but it turned out that the cheap product was not good.
Ye Xu was very skeptical at that time, whether the locks their school installed on the dormitory was also the case. But he hasn't tried it, so he can't verify it.
Of course, these are off topic.
Ye Xu and the second brother talked about the cursed objects all the way to the embarrassing things in their school days, and the second brother, as an "illiterate" who never went to school, naturally has no such dark history. And Ye Xu, the little brother with a dark history, had to be forced to give stories to the second brother to relieve his boredom.
After all, who wouldn't go back in time? The second brother glanced at it, and he could see how embarrassing he was back then. Instead of waiting for him to look over one by one, it is better to say it yourself, and to beautify yourself in secret.
After confirming the cursed item, the two continued to look for suspects in other places. Looking and chatting, the time passed quickly.
After spending two full days looking for the entire area, a total of five items including small lanterns, keys, and potted plants were found. Ye Xu felt that there were quite a few items. He originally thought that there would be many items.
But after thinking about it, the conditions for obtaining the item are quite harsh. There will be blood and death. The most blood-stained tissue is probably the paper towel used to wipe the blood after the other party scratched it, but that thing may have been destroyed long ago, and it will not be kept in the school. If you think about it this way, you can understand if there are few things.
"There should have been some in the past, but they were too old and were thrown away as waste, so there are only relatively new cursed objects on campus." Only five are considered a good situation, and there are still ghosts watching over there.
Because Ye Xu and the others were too strong, even if one player accidentally came into contact with a cursed item that had not been discovered by Ye Xu when he was avoiding the ghost without knowing it, the curse broke out early and lost his life. The others are alive and kicking, and they can hold on for the time being.
More than half of the time has passed, and there are only two days left to finish this dungeon. Ye Xu feels that things are still under control.
After finishing what he should do, Ye Xu decided to salt fish for two days. He was discussing with his second brother how to spend the past two days when he suddenly received a call from the counselor.
"Hi, is this classmate Ye Jiu?" The counselor's voice was quite nice, and she was a young woman.
But Ye Xu had an ominous premonition, he cautiously handed the mobile phone to the second brother, the second brother understood, immediately answered the phone and said, "Hey, teacher, Ye Jiu is taking a bath."
In fact, the two of them were outdoors at all, so there was no way to take a bath.
The counselor didn't suspect him, and it didn't mean that she was called "teacher" by a demigod boss, and she was forced to be a god's teacher, fearing that she would be punished by heaven.
This NPC is still conscientiously maintaining the character design: "Then you help me ask him if you can contact Ye Guang, Ye Guang's phone is turned off. Also, if you can, let him tell Ye Guang directly for me, come this afternoon I'm going to the office, I have something to do with Ye Guang."
Ye Guang himself: "...Okay, I know the teacher."
It turned out to be looking for the second brother, but because the second brother forgot to charge and couldn't get in touch, he could only look for a breakthrough from Ye Xu.
There is no way, as a sub-god, the second brother has always played a special version of the mobile phone that does not need to be charged, but only needs to be charged with some magic power, so he has no consciousness of charging the mobile phone, and Ye Xu always helps to charge it when he thinks about it.
Ye Xu was also a little speechless, and after a pause, he said, "So what's the matter with you?"
"Just go and have a look this afternoon." The second brother wasn't worried about any conspiracy at all.
Ye Xu felt that the dungeon was about to start messing around. It must be because they are too comfortable to live, so I have to find something for them to do.
