Chapter 6 Dormitory Civility Rules (II)
The shield was triggered, which meant that Guo Guo was attacked by a ghost. When the shattering sound came, Tang Xinjue was sure that he heard a not-quite-real whimper.
It seems that Guo Guo has also woken up.
After the shield was broken, the long-haired black shadow beside the bed did not stay any longer. Tap, tap, tap, the footsteps changed direction and headed towards bed number 3, which was directly opposite Tang Xinjue.
Bed number 3 is Zhang You. Zhang You does not have any supernatural props, and the ghost is likely to attack at the beginning.
Tang Xinjue's heart sank. In the darkness, she felt for her cell phone on the bed. Next to the cell phone was the toilet plunger that had just been connected.
"..." Tang Xinjue felt very complicated when she thought about lying on the same bed with the toilet plunger. But there was no time to think too much now. She grabbed all the props in her hands, focused her attention, and was ready to get up at any time.
Sure enough, the black shadow stopped in front of Zhang You's bed again, and this time Tang Xinjue could see it much more clearly.
It was a very thin female body, but the part above the neck was stretched forward in an extremely strange posture, almost the entire head was hanging above, and the long hair hung down, tightly against the bed curtain. As for the lower part of the body, it was immersed in darkness, and the length of the legs and feet could not be seen.
Tang Xinjue couldn't hear what the long-haired black shadow said, and could only judge by the pause time that it was most likely attacking Zhang You.
As her mind suddenly turned, the bed curtains shook suddenly, and a feeling of heaviness surged up her limbs. All the strength she had accumulated disappeared. She realized that something was wrong, but the familiar feeling of drowsiness before falling asleep had already come over her.
“Hehe…”
The girl's shrill laughter rang out in the dormitory. Tang Xinjue tried his best not to close his eyes completely, and kept a fixed gaze on the movement outside the bed curtains.
I don’t know what happened in front of Zhang You’s bed. The footsteps seemed to be getting farther and farther away. After a while, they appeared again and were accompanied by the sound of rummaging through tables and cabinets, as if they were looking for something.
"Where are my things...where are my things..."
The table and chairs were pulled apart frantically, causing the bed to shake. The girl's voice was very panicked: "It's gone, where did I put it? Ah!!"
Amid the hysterical screams, all sounds disappeared and silence returned to the small dormitory.
On the bed, Tang Xinjue held her breath. In her blurred vision, there was only a dead blackness, no light or figures. She continued to fight against the sleepiness imposed on her body without giving up, but suddenly she realized something was wrong.
Was it so dark in the dormitory just now? Where did the "girls" go?
Realizing something, her gaze slowly moved upwards - hanging on the top of the bed curtain above her head was a pale face facing her.
The bare white eyeballs stared at her intently, and the corners of his mouth formed a strange arc:
"Help me, help me find the things I lost... You will help, after all, we are good roommates, right?"
It turns out that the darkness I just saw was not the night, but its entire body was pressed against the bed curtain, blocking all vision.
The next second, everything fell into darkness.
…
When he opened his eyes again, Tang Xinjue subconsciously picked up the toilet plunger and jumped up. The figure beside the bed and the face above his head had disappeared without a trace, and the light in the dormitory illuminated the room as bright as day.
I turned on my phone and the time was displayed on the screen: eight o'clock in the morning.
Tang Xin Jue noticed that the [Body Information] flashed, and he clicked it. A "1" sign appeared on the status bar that used green battery bars to indicate physical health.
[Aftereffects of looking directly at a ghost, sanity is polluted, health level 1]
Thinking of the direct critical strike in the darkness, it was already pretty good that the san value dropped a little . Tang Xinjue raised his head and heard rustling sounds from beds 1 and 2. Zheng Wanqing on bed 2 directly lifted the quilt and said in a surprised voice: "Huh? How did we fall asleep?"
Guo Guo, who was lying on bed number 1 , covered himself tightly with the quilt, and only poked his head out, "I, my shield is gone, wua ...
One woke up in the middle of the night and lost his shield, while the other obviously slept until dawn. The difference in luck is obvious at a glance.
Of course, there may be others who have the worst luck.
After confirming that the two were fine, Tang Xinjue immediately went to bed number 4 to check. The moment he stepped on the ladder, his heart sank.
Bed number 4 is empty, there is no sign of Zhang You!
Upon learning that Zhang You was missing, the other two no longer had the energy to adjust themselves and quickly got out of bed.
They searched the bathroom, balcony, and dormitory door, but there was no sign of Zhang You.
What happened last night? How did the female ghost attack Zhang You?
"I, all I can remember is," Guo Guo, another person who was attacked by a female ghost, recalled with fear, "When I was half asleep and half awake, I seemed to hear someone calling my name, so I opened my eyes, and then I saw a figure with long hair hanging in front of the bed..."
Her mind went blank at the time, and she was so frightened that she even forgot to scream, but the voice was still asking:
"Can you do me a favor?"
When Guo Guo looked into the eyes of the long-haired girl, he suddenly felt that his body was out of his control and he opened his mouth to answer. But just before he could speak, the warning sound of the shield being triggered sounded.
"Then I was so scared that it left. After a few seconds, I suddenly felt very sleepy. I opened my eyes and it's now."
Guo Guo was a little incoherent, his hands still shaking irregularly, "Why is Zhang You missing? Nothing happened to her, right? Xin Jue, I'm really scared now, I, I..."
Guo Guo's condition is not normal.
Tang Xin Jue noticed this and moved the other person's phone over. Sure enough, he saw the mark of the damaged san value on her [Body Information] interface:
[The mind is seriously polluted, the body is healthy 10]
Guo Guo's health bar has dropped by a whole bar, and it is just about to leave the green range and enter the yellow line.
When Tang Xinjue saw the female ghost head-on, he lost 1 point, but Guo Guo's point increased tenfold. So the mental damage also varies from person to person?
Guo Guo looked at Tang Xin Jue's attribute values and burst into tears: "Why am I so unlucky!"
"Don't worry. Since this is a test, there must be a task for us to do. We have to figure out the situation."
As if in response to Tang Xinjue's words, a familiar mechanical female voice sounded in the air:
"Xiaohong is a lively and lovely college girl. She has a boyfriend with whom she has a sincere affection, and roommates who are united and friendly. They live in a harmonious and happy dormitory."
"But one day, Xiaohong found that she couldn't find something that was very important to her, so she had to ask her roommates for help. She believed that her helpful roommates would definitely help her fulfill her wish."
"As Xiaohong's roommate, you need to find the lost item during the day and put it on Xiaohong's desk. When night falls, Xiaohong will take it away."
The notification sound disappeared, and Tang Xinjue immediately checked his phone. The information had been converted into text and appeared on the [Exam Competition] interface. There were also two small reminders below:
1. 8 am to 8 pm is daytime
2. Xiaohong likes cleanliness, please don't mess up her desk.
"It's not bad. We still have 11 hours. It shouldn't be difficult to find something in a dormitory this size."
Zheng Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, rolled up her sleeves and prepared to start rummaging through the drawers.
"But what are you looking for?"
Guo Guo was too lazy to argue with her and lay on the table weakly. "The clue didn't say what was lost. What if we can't find the right item after searching for a whole day? What if the female ghost comes to claim our lives at night?"
They both subconsciously turned their gazes to the "backbone". Tang Xinjue stared at the screen of her mobile phone. After a few seconds, she looked up thoughtfully, her voice soft but very clear:
"First, we need to make sure of two things."
"First, Xiaohong is our roommate. When we find something, we have to put it on her desk - but where is her desk?"
The other two looked up suddenly and realized the problem.
They were now in their own dorm, a four-person dorm they had lived in for three years, and no one knew their territory better than them. It was fine to have an extra "roommate" for no apparent reason, but where would they get an extra desk?
Tang Xin Jue rubbed his brows and continued, "Second, the rules say that the daytime hours are from 8 am to 8 pm, but right now, the phone shows that it is already 9 o'clock."
Zheng Wanqing didn't understand: "What's wrong with 9 o'clock?"
Tang Xin Jue raised his eyes: "We woke up at 8 o'clock, but do you really feel that an hour has passed now?"
