Chapter 258: Online Dating Scam Record (Twenty-one)
Guo Guo looked at the messages in the chat group and felt his head getting confused again.
She subconsciously asked: "Excuse me, is the university town you are talking about the same as the university town I understand?"
If the other party is referring to the "university" in the copy background, and there are no teachers in the university town, then what is the "school" here?
If the other party is referring to the "University Town" which is at the core of the entire game system outside the dungeon, then what do the counselors and invigilators I have met, and the two long rows of big eyes in the admission welcome ceremony mean?
No. 1: [There is only one university town in the world. If we say the same name, it means we are talking about the same entity.]
“…”
Guo Guo felt his head hurt even more.
In order to confirm her current location, she continued to probe: [ There was no ?]
No. 2: [What is evening self-study?]
It seems that this is not the copy.
Guo Guo: [Are there no counselors or teachers for the entrance exams in the university town? Which tier university are you attending, first, second, or third?]
No. 2: [What is a counselor? What is the entrance exam? What are first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier universities?]
Guo Guo: ???
No. 2/No. 1: ???
After the two sides exchanged questions to show their friendship, Guo Guo realized that the things she and these "people" talked about might not have been on the same train of thought from the beginning to the end.
So she went back to the source and returned to the original question:
[Who are you?]
This time, the other three people in the group did not respond for a long time.
In the stick figure drawing, the positions of the three stick figures changed again. No. 1 and No. 2 were whispering to each other, as if they were thinking about how to answer.
After a long time, the screen lit up again:
No. 1: [We are people without names.]
No. 2: [We have no identity, no appearance, no proof of existence. We are just working, but we can't tell you what the work is about. Unless you become like us.]
Guo Guo thought carefully: "Can I understand that you are subject to some kind of restriction, so you can't disclose these details?"
But since both parties can chat by adding each other as mobile friends, it means that certain information can still be communicated.
Judging from the current situation, the other party's attitude is not only not hostile, but rather quite friendly. Guo Guo said boldly:
[But you mentioned a university town...at least it should be students in a university town, right?]
[.]
The other party agreed.
...Since you are a student, why do you seem to know nothing about the university town and the dungeon?
And based on past experience, the student NPCs in the university town are all ghosts such as Xiaohong and Li Xiaoyu. This is the first time she has seen this style of painting.
Guo Guo racked his brains to find a breakthrough:
[So, do you know who I am?]
No. 1: [A little girl with a mushroom-like head who doesn’t seem to do well in school.]
Guo Guo: “…”
[I'm a student too, but I was forced to be locked up here! You might not believe it, but there are some terrifying teachers out there. Not only did they force me to come here for evening self-study, they also punished us...]
Faced with Guo Guo's tragic accusation, Stickman No. 2 did not quite believe it:
[I don't think you're lying, but there really aren't any teachers in the university town. Are you sure you're not dreaming or confused?]
Guo Guo only regretted that he hadn't used his phone to take photos of those school leaders as evidence:
[But, how can you be sure there are no teachers in the university town? How can a school be a school without teachers?]
[I can swear on the teaching monument that there are no teachers in the university town!]
Number 2 was also excited:
Why can't I be sure?
[I built this place myself, brick by brick! ...]
[“The next life will not be a civil engineering project” has been kicked out of the group chat]
Before No. 2 could finish his rapid-fire speech, No. 3, who had woken up at some point, kicked him out instantly. In the blink of an eye, only three people were left in the group.
Guo Guo silently withdrew his hand from typing on the screen.
She realized that No. 2's remarks had touched upon certain undisclosed areas. In Tang Xin Jue's words, the NPC had been successfully tricked.
But if she continued, she was afraid that she would be kicked out of the group chat and lose her only chance to communicate with the other party.
Fortunately, No. 3 didn't do that. He just turned his head and looked at Guo Guo quietly for two seconds, then sent a message:
[Are you not dreaming?]
Guo Guo said cautiously: [Am I... dreaming?]
No. 3: [……]
No. 1: [……]
The originally relaxed atmosphere became serious.
[No. 3(Z): Something seems to be wrong.]
[No. 1 (What is the relationship between Zhou Shuren and me, Lu Xun): I think so too. Who is responsible for this part today?]
[No. 3: It should be the system. Shake the computer and pass the blame.]
[No. 1: Huh? You're not from the computer field?]
[No. 3: I'm from the Physical Education Department.]
[No. 1: …]
[No. 1: Who is in charge of the system?]
[No. 3: It should be Xiaobu, but he's not here today. I'll go find him and bring him in.]
Guo Guo held his breath and watched the messages that kept popping up in the chat box, his brain gradually going into a state of shutdown.
At this time, No. 3 also exclaimed, and said to Guo Guo: "Why are you still here?"
After saying that, he continued to himself: [Well, it seems I forgot to kick.]
Guo Guo: [……]
【You have been removed from the group chat】
As the group chat was dismissed, the stick figure on the white paper vanished as well. Guo Guo immediately picked up the paper and shook it left and right, then shone the flashlight at other locations, but the paper showed no sign of change, becoming nothing more than an ordinary sign-in sheet.
In a moment of anxiety, she supported herself on the table with her arms, and her body stood up without any hindrance.
That barrier is gone too?
Guo Guo walked into the darkness with a flashlight. The other three tables remained quietly in their original positions. She walked around slowly and found two items on the desk of boy No. 3 that seemed to be missing:
It was a bronze fountain pen with half a bottle of red ink left.
Looking at these two items, a sense of familiarity came over her. She gently picked up the ink bottle, but a fishy smell penetrated her nose from the bottle mouth:
It turns out that there was no red ink in it at all, but diluted blood!
In a flash, she also remembered the source of the familiar feeling:
Aren’t this pen and the bottle of blood exactly the same as the rewards that will be dropped in the “Health Raid” copy?
If she remembered correctly, the boss had dropped four items: a pen, a glass bottle filled with blood, a bundle of red string, and a piece of yellow paper.
Among them, the blood bottle was eventually taken away by another dormitory student named Shi An, and the remaining three were taken back by Tang Xin Jue to 606. But perhaps because of the lack of "ink", they still haven't found the specific use of these things.
Guo Guo immediately put away her "ink" and pen. Just then, a sharp scratching sound suddenly rang out from outside the door. She spun around with a start and shone her phone's light over there. The light hit the crack in the door, and a bloody white eye flashed by.
Bang bang bang!
The scratching turned into heavy slapping, accompanied by a middle-aged female voice: "Open the door! I am your evening self-study teacher! You are not allowed to lock the classroom door privately during evening self-study. You are breaking the rules!"
Guo Guo quietly stepped back. Her instincts almost tugged at her ears, telling her not to open the door. She continued to respond:
"This is the Academic Affairs Office, not a classroom, and I didn't lock the door. Who knows how you couldn't get in... Besides, since it's a self-study session, isn't it for students to study on their own? Why do we need teachers?"
The voice outside the door was even more angry:
"How dare you talk back to the teacher? That's an even greater offense! What's your name? Which dormitory are you from?"
Bang bang bang!
The knocking on the door gradually turned into pounding on it. Guo Guo began to look for a place where he could jump out of the building and escape. At this moment, the customer service of the fraud gang sent a message as if by telepathy:
[A virtual lover can solve all your problems. Order now to get a discount!]
Guo Guo: ...
Although her mind was still resisting, she was already somewhat shaken.
If it can really be solved, maybe give it a try. The result may not be worse ?
As the saying goes, if you can be accommodating, then you won’t worry about having too much debt …
Just as she was about to click into the dialog box, another more familiar syllable suddenly broke into the furious voice outside the door:
"Teacher, there's a student in classroom 201 who's skipping class. Please go look for him."
"Oh, I'm a student in classroom 107, and this is my request for leave. Is there anything else?"
——It’s Zhang You!
