Chapter 262: Online Dating Scam Record (Twenty-Five)
Amnesia was impossible. The moment they saw the yellow paper bag, they understood the girl's purpose in trying to crawl in: to sneak the yellow paper bag into dormitory 404!
According to the experience of the headless ghost copy, this kind of "paper bag" made of special yellow paper and cast with some kind of spell will have an irreversible curse effect on people as long as it is placed in the dormitory.
Even in new copies and in the hands of ghosts, the effect of the paper bag may be enhanced.
Looking at another object, a small black bottle, it was quite unfamiliar. At least, they had never seen such a thing in the dungeon before, and for a moment they couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.
"At least judging from the source of the item, it came out of the hands of a ghost, and was thrown out together with the yellow paper bag. It is most likely not a front prop." Zhang You analyzed.
But for some reason, Guo Guo felt that this might not be the case. She subconsciously wanted to test it with the pendant, but then she remembered that the blood jade pendant's ability to predict misfortune and fortune had been gone since curfew began.
In 606, besides her pendant, Tang Xin Jue's mental power and [Appraisal] skill allowed for remote observation. Now, these had lost their effectiveness for various reasons, meaning they could no longer predict changes and could only react passively.
"Tang Xin Jue" was still fanning the flames: "Don't worry, I'm still here, right? We're teammates fighting side by side. Let me use my mental power to check... Hmm, I don't feel any danger, it should be harmless. Don't be afraid, go ahead and pick it up."
Zhang You looked at her coldly: "Really? Then please help me pick it up."
Tang Xin Jue's eyes lit up: "Can I bring them into the dormitory? Is this authorized by you?"
"No." Zhang You refused mercilessly: "What I mean is that after you pick it up, stand outside and see if there are any adverse effects. If everything is still normal by 12 o'clock, we can discuss bringing it in."
"Tang Xin Jue": "..."
She slowly stuffed food into her mouth: "Dear roommate, you don't seem to realize that I just can't hurt you. It doesn't seem like I have any obligation to help you."
"Of course I know." After the falling out, Zhang You didn't even bother to raise his lips. "Do you know how you exposed your identity as an imposter? Because even when you were in disguise, you could only say some seemingly plausible words. Apart from instigating the relationship between us and the NPCs, you didn't dare to take the initiative to advance the dungeon plot."
Even if he had lost his memories, the real Tang Xin Jue wouldn't be a superficially serious slacker, playing dumb in the face of dungeon conflicts and shrinking from NPC side quests. Especially when facing Li Qi, even Zhang You and the other two felt a sense of familiarity. How could Tang Xin Jue, with his strongest mental power, be completely unaware, even considering her an "NPC who didn't need help"?
As the words fell from the sky, the fake's face turned ugly for the first time. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he suppressed it and returned to his usual expression as "Tang Xin Jue". He smiled and said:
"That being said. But not only do I have her abilities, I can also use all her weapons and gadgets—aren't you worried that this body is still hers? If it's damaged, do you think she'll be able to come back even if you finally clear the level ?"
This statement successfully struck Zhang You in the face. To say she had no such concerns would be a lie, but she still retorted, "If you're so powerful, why don't you go out and commit suicide with this body? I saw you hide faster than anyone else when the dormitory was attacked just now. How come you, the ones in charge of possessing bodies, don't have a requirement to damage the body?"
"You..." The fake's face turned even worse, but he couldn't organize any more fluent words to fight back, so he could only snort coldly and continue eating.
Guo Guo said seriously: "Look, you are definitely not a secret technique god. The heart technique will not be choked by others. She will only make others angry to death."
Counterfeit: “…”
She sneered as she ate, "You've been gradually infected by that person, becoming more and more adept at sophistry. Hasn't anyone told you that being too like that person isn't a good thing, and being around her won't end well. You're putting too much faith in someone who crawled out of the underground, be careful you get dragged down with you."
Guo Guo interrupted her sternly, "First of all, we in Room 606 are law-abiding, positive, and motivated students of the 21st century. After entering the game, we've been diligent and diligent students who abide by the rules. Please be careful with your words when you slander us. Secondly, even if we're said to have come out of hiding, so what? Doesn't that just prove my roommate is amazing? Why didn't you come out of hiding? Is it because you don't want to?"
Counterfeit: “…………”
This time she was silent for a longer time and seemed to have completely given up on the verbal confrontation, but the sound of her chewing was much more vicious.
The curfew didn't give them time to continue their fight; the next round of attacks soon followed. Unlike the previous round's gradual onslaught, this time blood poured in from all directions, squeezing the walls, doors, windows, sinks, balconies... even the toilet door creaked.
While using his props and skills, Zhang You keenly noticed something unusual on the balcony: "Look at that black bottle."
Amidst the pool of blood on the balcony, the submerged black bottle gradually emerged from the blood. Looking more closely, a small vortex appeared in the liquid at the mouth of the bottle. As the "water level" on the balcony dropped, more than half of the blood had been absorbed into the black bottle!
After absorbing most of the blood, the bottle seemed to be full, lying quietly in the same place without any change. Although it only reduced the firepower of the people in the room, it still made people wonder: Could this prop restrain ghosts?
But it's a ghost, so why give them a direct prop that can fight against ghosts? Cursing the candidates with the left hand, fighting the ghost with the right hand, are the NPCs playing a two-handed fight?
As a precaution, they still did not open the window to check. But Guo Guo suddenly had an idea and took out the blood ink bottle that Stickman No. 3 had left for her in the Academic Affairs Office.
"I almost forgot about this!"
Zhang You was stunned. "Is this... the item we didn't get during the final dormitory hygiene inspection?"
Guo Guo nodded vigorously. She opened the glass bottle cap and, imitating the black bottle on the balcony, tried to touch the blood oozing from the floor. Suddenly, as if some kind of suction force emerged from the bottle mouth, all the blood attacking the three people changed its trajectory and rushed into the bottle!
Guo Guo was knocked back by the immense force, and Zhang You immediately came over to support her. The two of them held their position for only a few seconds before all the blood in the room was quickly sucked away.
As the room became clean as before, the devouring ability of the glass bottle disappeared and it turned back into an ordinary ink bottle.
"I just remembered that this bottle seemed to be able to hold blood, so I tried it. I didn't expect it to actually work."
Lifting the glass bottle, Guo Guo saw that the level of the "red ink" inside was still the same as usual, but the color seemed to be a little diluted.
Through the light shining through the glass bottle, she saw that the fake's face seemed to change suddenly, his pupils shrank subconsciously as he stared at the glass bottle, and he even quietly took two steps back.
Is the other party afraid of this prop?
