Chapter 53: Killing on Campus (VIII)
Di He: “?”
The noisy sound of reading completely confused Di He. He looked around and saw that the people around him were all concentrating on reading, as if he didn't exist. This instantly brought him back to the sleepy morning self-study sessions in high school.
Di He sat on the chair as if possessed by a magician. He stretched his head to look at the girl next to him , his eyes glued to her neck for an instant. The square sapphire sparkled brightly, and it was obvious at first glance that it was not a common item.
Di He was a little itchy, but he quickly looked away. Strangely, he didn't feel any danger. Yun Panshan said that there would be many strange phenomena in the teaching building, which would not threaten the life of the player. If you were trapped by the phenomenon, you had to escape quickly to avoid being trapped and becoming one of them.
As he was thinking, he quietly stood up, but when he looked towards the podium, his gaze stopped. The corpse hanging beside the podium disappeared, leaving only a hemp rope loop hanging from the ceiling.
The sound of reading became louder and louder, gradually making Di He unable to hear his own footsteps. He sat in the middle of the classroom's one-piece desk and chair. If he wanted to leave, he had to ask the people around him to make way, otherwise he couldn't move a step.
Sitting next to him was a very beautiful girl. She seemed to notice Di He's embarrassment. She stopped reading, pointed her finger at the table and slid towards the exit.
She asked Di He to walk on the table.
Di He glanced at the necklace on her neck and suddenly thought this was a good idea. He smiled at the girl and stretched out his hand to shake hands with her to express his gratitude. But the moment he shook hands, Di He felt a tearing pain in his neck.
He couldn't help but scream, and shrank in his seat, holding his neck and trembling.
Xiang Liangyu touched her neck and found that her necklace was gone.
She grinned, and the sound of reading around her stopped in an instant. Bright red warm blood dripped from the rusty chair, gathering into a large puddle of blood.
【Satisfaction value: 30. 】
After hearing the voice, the teacher on the podium walked over to where Di He was. Xiang Liangyu looked at the teacher, her expression unnatural for a moment, and she explained that Di He was trying to steal her necklace while shaking hands with her.
After saying that, she forcefully pulled away Di He's hands that were covering his neck, revealing the gem in the necklace embedded in his flesh.
Just as the teacher was about to speak, Xiang Liangyu felt something hit her on the head. She reached out and touched the top of her head, and a smooth white chess piece appeared in the palm of her hand.
The next second, more and more chess pieces fell around him, some black and some white, and each one landed accurately on the heads of the people around him, as if he was playing chess.
When Xiang Liangyu saw that the three people in front of him all had white pieces above their heads, he suddenly realized something, and immediately dropped the chess pieces, stepped on the table and left his seat.
The moment Xiang Liangyu stepped onto the table, the bodies of the three people in front of him suddenly collapsed on the table, and finally their bodies began to explode, extending all the way to the person sitting behind Xiang Liangyu.
More and more chess pieces began to join in, and another chess piece fell on Xiang Liangyu's head, it was a black chess piece.
Xiang Liangyu felt like he was tied up, unable to move at all. This time the black pieces were in a slanted shape, with five pieces connected, and the game was over.
The sound of the explosion echoed in the classroom. Di He took advantage of the chaos to hide under the podium, holding his head and trembling all over.
【The punishment is interrupted.】
[You have been attacked and your health points have been reduced. Please note that your health points will not be announced if they are not less than 1,000.]
Xiang Liangyu coughed and waved away the smoke that lingered around him, then he helped himself to the table and chairs that had exploded into a mess. When the system made a ding-dong sound, he took the initiative before it could speak: "You can even interrupt the punishment, how do you do your work?"
system:【……】
system:
[The side quest [The Sound of Reading in the Teaching Building] has failed, and 7,000 health points of NPC Xiang Liangyu have been deducted.]
【Your health has been reduced. 】
Xiang Liangyu said angrily: "What?! It's obviously your fault!"
Xiang Liangyu felt unsteady due to the weakness she felt when her life points were drained away. She held onto the table and chair and waited for the dizziness to go away.
The punishment space disappeared, and Liming Shi at the door banged on the door. Di He leaned on the edge of the podium and carefully looked up to glance at the classroom. Unfortunately, Liming Shi detonated the classroom, and the dust and smoke spread inside, and nothing could be seen at all.
Di He calmed down. The gem that had penetrated into his flesh was still aching. If he didn't ask Wu Yun to take it off, he would have to carry this damn thing with him for the rest of his life. Thinking of this, Di He made up his mind and rushed to the door, trying to open it.
When he heard the sound of glass breaking, he thought it was the female ghost looking for him again. He was so scared that he immediately squatted on the ground with his head in his hands and shouted: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't steal your things anymore!"
Master Liming finally opened the door, but he opened it too hard and knocked Master Liming, who was squatting at the door, to the ground.
Di He completely fainted.
Master Liming: “…I’m sorry.”
【Your health has been restored. 】
Someone grabbed his wrist, and a crisp clapping sound made Xiang Liangyu turn around subconsciously. His physical strength was restored instantly, and his health soared.
Before he could see who it was, Xiang Liangyu felt himself being carried horizontally. Then, the sound of breaking glass rang in his ears and the wind whistled.
Xiang Liangyu's eyes widened: "It's you!"
No wonder she felt the teacher looked familiar when she saw him.
Quan Shengyan was wearing the uniform of a teacher at the punishment site. His hair did not turn white, but his eyes were frighteningly red as he stared straight at Xiang Liangyu.
I think it was Di He's blood that aroused his desire for blood.
Xiang Liangyu was carried horizontally by him and ran across the campus, as if being chased by someone. Xiang Liangyu noticed something was wrong and quickly stretched his head to look over his shoulder, and indeed saw several familiar figures.
In the darkness of the night, the figures of Master Liming and Wen Yucheng followed Quan Shengyan relentlessly. Wu Yun, who was speeding past in the sky, had already arrived above their heads on a broom.
Quan Shengyan raised his head and took a quick look, then turned around and ran towards the woods on the side of the road with Xiang Liangyu in his arms. The dense trees made it impossible for Wu Yun to fly, so he could only get down and run on foot.
Xiang Liangyu looked at their relentless pursuit and said in shock, "Are they okay? Why are they chasing me so hard?!"
The crescent moon was gradually obscured by thick clouds. Quan Shengyan glanced at the moon and sped up again: "They are chasing me."
His hair began to turn white and long from the roots, his eyes became redder, and his fangs gradually appeared from his lips.
Xiang Liangyu asked in confusion: "Chasing you? Why are you like this again?"
A black chess piece fell in front of him. Quan Shengyan stopped beside the black chess piece out of inertia, then turned around and ran to the side of the road: "They are the 'explorers' among the players, studying how to escape from this world. Yun Panshan has always believed that I am the center of this world. If I die, this game will no longer exist, and they can return to the real world."
Xiang Liangyu's face changed. She subconsciously moved her wrist and looked at her gold watch. Suddenly, she found that the three needles on her watch had started moving. Xiang Liangyu turned her hand downward, looked away and said, "No wonder."
The black and white chess pieces were placed on the left and right, and the road ahead of Quan Shengyan was blocked. He jumped onto the branches on the spot and jumped forward among the branches.
Master Li Ming held the chess piece in his hand and looked at the figure gradually disappearing in the tree, and cursed: "Damn it!"
Wu Yun: "Don't chase us. We've already reached the clock tower. Let's take a look at the text message from Yun Panshan."
Master Liming took the electronic screen, which showed a bust of a woman with long wavy red hair, a corner of her prison uniform showing through. Her face had smooth lines and was expressionless, but her peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, but her gaze was cold and sharp, totally unlike what a human should have.
Wu Yun raised his eyebrows: "Red-haired female prisoner, so cool."
Yun Panshan: Xiang Liangyu, please pay attention to it.
Master Li Ming put away the screen and said, "Let's go."
Wen Yucheng kept backing away, looking at the scene in front of him with a trembling voice: "Go, where are you going?"
This world left no room for her to use her props. All the NPCs and enemies she met were women. She couldn't marry a woman!
The three of them looked up and saw dark clouds completely blocking the moonlight. A gloomy wind blew through the grove and the fallen leaves were fascinating. When they regained their sight, they suddenly saw shadows of people.
Wu Yun took out a broom and sat on it: "Oh, it's over."
Master Liming impatiently moved the chess pieces and made his move.
Clock tower time: 9:15.
In the huge golden clock tower, climb up the spiral golden staircase to reach the top of the clock tower. The gears inside the clock face turn, revealing an empty hall.
In the hall, a huge disc ticks away, and the transparent crystal allows eyes inside to take in the campus.
The hall was filled with the swaying dance of the dead, and even among them was the figure of the teacher seen in the teaching building during the day.
The opening ceremony is coming to an end.
Pure black heels stepped on the stairs, the skirt swayed on the golden stairs, and the white-haired, red-eyed principal led a masked girl to the opening ceremony. Both of them had a black rose on their chests.
The golden door was pushed open, and Lu Jifeng found Xiu Lu and asked anxiously, "Have you seen Xiang Liangyu?"
Xiu Lu came back to her senses from dancing, apologized to her dance partner, and was pulled aside by Lu Jifeng: "Xiang Liangyu? No, this is the bell tower. But where is Quan Shengyan? He left in the middle of the conversation. Do you know that I am the one who stabilized all these NPCs here!"
Lu Jifeng said anxiously: "Quan Shengyan said that Yun Panshan might have set his sights on Xiang Liangyu."
Xiu Lu was shocked and said, "Yun Panshan has set his sights on Xiang Liangyu? Is he okay? If he is so suspicious, why doesn't he just kill all of our NPCs?"
Upon hearing this, he immediately gestured to keep quiet, pulled Xiulu out of the hall, and walked up the spiral staircase: "The problem is not here, Yun Panshan, the psychopath who hacked into the system."
"He killed so many NPCs. I'm now worried that the tasks issued by the system now may be caused by him."
"Now Xiang Liangyu has been targeted by him. Tell me, what should we do?"
Xiu Lu was silent for a moment, then she said, "Why did it target Xiang Liangyu? Isn't its ultimate goal Quan Shengyan?"
Lu Jifeng: "Fang Zi said he hacked into the school's network, and despite all efforts to block it, Xiang Liangyu's files were still leaked."
Xiu Lu: "One way, pack up and wait for death, see if you can give Xiang Liangyu an immortal gold medal. We can't beat that temporary team at our level."
Lu Jifeng held her back and said, "No, just because you can't does not mean she can't. We just need to complete the main mission."
Xiu Lu lowered her head and thought for a long time. Then she said, "Fang Zi told me that only Xiang Liangyu can do this mission, so we have to stop other players when Xiang Liangyu punishes them ."
"But I can only come out at night, so if you want to punish me during the day, you have to contact Fang Zi."
Lu Jifeng was stunned: "What do you mean? The punishment space can be suspended? This system is stupid."
Xiu Lu held her forehead with her hand: "Others can't do it, but Master Liming can. S-level props can ignore all scene conditions. Let alone space, even if it's time and space dislocation, he can use chess pieces to kill people."
"Experienced players are no longer human. It's troublesome."
The two of them left the clock tower, and Xiu Lu took a deep breath: "This world is too strange, whether it's the players or the NPCs, they are all very strange."
Lu Jifeng sat on the steps and doubted his life: "You say, maybe not all players are bad people, and similarly, not all NPCs are good people."
Xiu Lu resolutely denied: "It is absolutely impossible. Everyone who enters this game world has to go through a strict trial. It is impossible for such a mistake to occur."
Lu Jifeng wanted to say something, but suddenly stood up: "I know where they are!"
Xiulu glanced at him and saw Lu Jifeng running over and dragging him towards the rooftop.
After passing through the Golden Hall, the two came to a door. Behind the door was a terrace on the top of the bell tower. It was a small space, but enough to accommodate two people.
Xiu Lu pulled him and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure?"
Lu Jifeng nodded seriously and pushed open the door.
The cold wind brought resistance, and Lu Jifeng pushed the door open suddenly, and as expected, he saw Xiang Liangyu and Quan Shengyan.
Xiu Lu’s body stiffened.
Quan Shengyan leaned on the crumbling railing, with the endless night behind him. He held Xiang Liangyu's waist with one hand, holding her tightly in front of him, and with the other hand he held her fair arm and lifted it to his mouth, slowly licking her wrist that was cut by the glass. The blood was rolled into his lips, with a bewitching red.
Quan Shengyan raised his head, his scarlet and sharp eyes showing an icy look, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, stabbing fiercely at the two people at the door.
Xiang Liangyu turned around when she heard the voice, and her long hair swept across the chin of the person behind her. She was surprised to see Lu Jifeng and Xiulu, and pulled her hand back to greet them, just missing Quan Shengyan's murderous look with empty hands.
Lu Jifeng was unaware and said proudly, "I knew you were here."
Xiu Lu had no expression on her face: “…”
Lu Jifeng, I hate you.
