Chapter 253: Online Dating Scam Record (16)
"Here are your seat numbers. Please find your own classroom according to your seat requirements. Class starts at 5:00 sharp, upon the ringing of the bell."
After handing out a piece of paper to each person, the female teacher leading the way spoke coldly, her harsh voice piercing the air:
"Remember, lateness, early departures, failure to observe classroom rules, and talking back to the teacher are strictly prohibited during evening self-study. Once discovered, you will be subject to the most severe punishment!"
Li Qi suddenly spoke up from the crowd:
"But the bell has already rung."
Teacher: "That's right, so you are late now."
Li Qi: “…”
606: “…”
Are you guys so direct in cheating people now?
"After the bell rings, there's a two-minute buffer period. This is a testament to the school's humanity." The female teacher continued, "You have two minutes to find your classroom as quickly as possible!"
After he finished speaking, the teacher turned around and left indifferently. He only took two steps in front of everyone, but his figure quickly disappeared from the air.
“…”
"There are only one minute and forty-five seconds left, so hurry up." Li Qi looked at his watch, nodded to the four people in 606, and pulled Shi Qingqing away.
The students who had just lined up in a row suddenly dispersed, so quickly that their movements were almost impossible to catch. Only four people were left standing.
Guo Guo glanced at the slip of paper with his seat number in his hand, still a little dazed. "Wait, why aren't we in the same class for evening study? Where are the class reminders? Why do the others seem so familiar with each other?"
What caught my eye was that there was only a very simple number [36] on the note in the palm of my hand. Apart from that, there were no other words and no clues at all.
"Maybe it's because they've already been through this." Zhang You opened the magic account book without hesitation and drew a skill to cast on the slip of paper: "Eye of Truth."
A blue light flashed, and blood instantly seeped out of the white paper. Looking at the light in the corridor, several letters were formed on the back of the paper.
"r, e, d." Zhang You read out the letters: "red, red?"
She scanned the corridor and saw only one classroom on the first floor with a red door. She used her card skill again and saw a faint red line connecting the red doorplate to her note: "Looks like that's my study room."
The remaining three people followed suit. Guo Guo saw the word "blue," Tang Xinjue's was "lie," and Zheng Wanqing's was "death."
Zheng Wanqing quickly found her classroom, which was next to a trash can at the end of the first-floor corridor. A black skull was carved into the trash can, and an arrow next to it pointed to the door of a classroom.
Tang Xin Jue said, "It seems that there is no classroom for us on this floor. Time is running out, Guo Guo, let's go upstairs quickly."
There was no light inside the teaching building, only a faint glow shone through the white mist outside the window. With the help of this dim light, the two of them went up the stairs to the second floor. Tang Xinjue also saw his own clue at a glance: there was a mask graffiti painted on the classroom door next to the stairs. The mask had a wide grin on its mouth, and behind it was another face with an unclear expression.
Tang Xinjue didn't say anything, just nodded briefly to Guo Guo and walked in quickly.
Now Guo Guo was the only one left in the corridor.
Guo Guo's palms were sweating. She held the note and quickly compared every classroom door in the corridor on the second floor, while the other half of her attention was on the countdown on her mobile phone.
Thirty seconds left. This isn't the room, and this isn't the room either...
After running quickly in the corridor for a while, Guo Guo's heart sank slightly.
There is no classroom related to "blue" on the entire second floor.
Do we have to continue going up?
There were less than 20 seconds left before the two- minute buffer ended, so Guo Guo had no choice but to turn back and run towards the stairs, while thinking rapidly in his mind.
If you are late, will the punishment be immediate or after curfew?
What exactly will the punishment be, and are there ways to circumvent or resist it?
In reality, even if they had arrived at the evening study room on time, they would likely have faced even greater danger. They shouldn't have been separated so carelessly. However, due to the dungeon restrictions along the way, and especially the sudden announcement of the rules after entering the teaching building, the four of them had almost no room for reaction or discussion, and were forced to act according to the existing regulations.
Arriving at the third floor, Guo Guo quickly refocused his attention, scanning both sides of the corridor. Only fifteen seconds left...
At this moment, the phone screen suddenly lit up, and a new message popped up from the social software:
【Anya: Do you want to skip class? 】
Guo Guo then remembered that the blockade of mobile phone signals had been lifted after entering the teaching area, but they had not had time to check.
Another message popped up on the screen:
Anya: This is the prize you won today. Follow my method and you can skip class for half an hour without penalty. I'll give you five seconds to think about it. If you don't respond, I'll assume you've given up.
Yes, this was the chance she won by making a bet with the group of girls this morning!
In a flash, Guo Guo saw himself typing out a reply: [Yes!]
There was a two-second pause, and Guo Guo's heartbeat seemed to pause for a moment. Fortunately, new information appeared soon:
[Go to the window at the end of the left corridor on the third floor and move the first flower pot on your right.]
This was the third floor! Without a second thought, Guo Guo rushed to the location, moved the flower pot as required, and found a red key underneath.
[Use the key to open the door on your right, near the corner. Once inside, don't open your eyes. Close the door and squat inside until the second ring ends, then open your eyes.]
There were five seconds left - Guo Guo groped for the door lock in the darkness and inserted the key. With a hoarse sound of the door being pushed open, she quickly turned off the screen of her mobile phone, then squatted down with her eyes closed, leaning against the cold wall.
Time seemed to stretch out in his highly sensitive nerves, and it was not until the shrill ring rang again that Guo Guo realized that his back was soaked.
Unlike the brief ringing of the previous school bell, this one lasted longer, growing louder and sharper, as if piercing one's ears. The mental connection had been completely severed, leaving her alone in her sea of consciousness. Guo Guo suppressed all her chaotic thoughts, silently recalling the methods Tang Xin Jue had used to train her to control her mind, and waited for the bell to end.
The moment the sound finally faded, she slowly opened her eyes. A flicker of dark shadows seemed to flash across her retina, but they quickly vanished, revealing a shabby storage room.
The phone vibrates slightly:
[See the locker? Hide inside now, no matter how small it is, make sure you squeeze in. Then, when the noise outside dies down, you can come out. Remember, you can only skip class until 5:30. You must return to study before 5:30, otherwise you won't see the sun tomorrow morning. — That's all.]
After receiving this message, Fang Ya's chat box avatar suddenly turned black and white, as if she was offline.
Without having time to think too much, Guo Guo opened the only half-person-high wooden cabinet in the corner of the room, squatted and curled up inside. Just as he closed the cabinet door, he heard a heavy and numerous footsteps outside the room.
"One student who skipped class... Got it..."
Guo Guo slowed down his breathing and turned his phone to silent mode. At this time, the phone interface switched to the contact list, and a large number of historical messages came out.
[Virtual Lover 211: 100 per week and you still need to pay in installments? All you do is eat, drink, have fun, and read novels. I'll make you poor! Bye, I won't play with you anymore.]
[The Pen Fairy script-killing game is missing one player. Add me (Guo Guo, Class 6, Grade 3): ??? But I haven't used up all the money I topped up with you! (Screenshot) You have to refund me 128.8 yuan.]
[Virtual Lover 211: (Recommended Contact: Customer Service No. 1)]
[Virtual Lover 211: I didn't expect you to be so undignified when breaking up. I'm so disappointed. Goodbye.]
[The Pen Fairy script is missing one of four players, plus me (Guo Guo, Class 6, Grade 3): But that's 128.8 yuan!]
[The other party has enabled friend verification, but you are not yet their friend. Please send a friend verification request first...]
Guo Guo in the chat history: "..."
Guo Guo in the cabinet: "..."
She clicked on the [Customer Service No. 1] interface and saw that it showed that the other party had approved the friend request 5 minutes ago.
【Customer Service No. 1: Hello, how can I help you? 】
After recalling the background of the case, Guo Guo confirmed that the two parties in the fraud had already torn their faces apart and revealed their true intentions, but he did not expect that the other party had not yet cancelled the account and ran away, and was even continuing to operate.
After looking at the chat history, Guo Guo was silent for two seconds, but still quickly sent a message:
【Hello, I would like a refund. 】
But that’s 128.8 yuan!
