Chapter 80 Health Surprise Inspection (Part 9)
Chapter 80 Health Surprise Inspection (Part 9)
"To be honest, since we are now experiencing the life of the original students in this dormitory, I think the dangers that the original students experienced are likely to be faced by us as well."
Jiang Lan pondered for a moment and expressed his thoughts.
Everyone else agreed.
Zhang You said: "I have a guess. Could the space we are in now be the [memories] of the students who originally lived here?"
In the memories of the former students, the 9th floor was blocked and they could not get out. Also, due to the long-term hunger and weariness on their spirits, they even forgot what the stairs looked like.
——At this moment, as far as everyone could see, there were only sealed walls in the corridor, and there was no staircase leading out.
Question 10: "But if it is a memory, why didn't the instructors and student councils and other dangerous NPCs show up?"
Her roommate continued, “Is it because the original students were too scared that they blurred out the characters?”
"If it doesn't appear, it's not dangerous. Hey, doesn't this contradict Jiang's point of view?"
"Wait, do you think too highly of the former students? If they were kind enough to shield the instructor for us, why didn't they just let us out? I think this might all be a conspiracy by the former students..."
"That's right," said the loner No. 7 coldly, "I don't believe there are any kind-hearted NPCs. Even humans can't be easily trusted sometimes."
And the other person, Ou Ruofei, who was also alone but was glared at, said: "...qwq"
The topic began to shift to whether the original owner of the memory was the mastermind or just a background figure, and everyone argued endlessly.
People who were not good at analysis, such as Zheng Wanqing and sisters No. 5 and No. 6, had their eyes wide open and their temples buzzing. Among those who were capable of analysis, only Tang Xinjue and Guo Guo did not participate in the discussion.
Guo Guo's face turned pale as he tried to remind everyone: "Doesn't anyone remember the ghosts of 919 and 921? They were ghosts!"
The other students in the dormitory looked at her in surprise: "Don't you have the ability to see ghosts? Why are you afraid of ghosts?"
They remembered that Guo Guo was the only person besides Tang Xin Jue who could see the scene in her memory, and she even recounted the ghost's appearance in detail. But she herself was afraid of ghosts?
Guo Guo: "...Yin, Yin-Yang eyes can't be afraid of ghosts!"
Superpowers are superpowers, emotions are emotions, this is called separation of public and private!
However, after Guo Guo's reminder, everyone did realize this.
They need to be wary of more than just the instructors.
…
The previous inspection of the corridor was stopped after finding that the other two dormitory doors were locked. Now that everyone came here again, seeing the gray and motionless dormitory doors, they felt inexplicably scared.
Zheng Wanqing pushed it directly and shook her head: "It's locked very tightly and can't be pushed open."
Since they couldn't open the door, they naturally couldn't check what was going on inside.
"What if we smash the door down, or burn it open?"
No. 5 is eager to try.
Ke Ke was speechless: "Can you use your brains? Have you ever analyzed the pros and cons and consequences of destroying the copy? Which exam can be passed by violent demolition?"
Zheng Wanqing really thought about it: “We took the exam last time.”
But what was demolished was not a door, but a house.
Ke Ke: “…”
After a few minutes of discussion, they decided not to destroy the door violently. Because the ghost had not yet appeared, and they were not sure about its aggressiveness. If the door was opened and there were more than a dozen ghost heads waiting inside, it would be embarrassing. They could only remember this incident and strengthen their vigilance.
After measuring the corridor again, they didn't find anything else, so they were a little discouraged. With their stomachs growling, Zhang You suggested, "Why don't we go back and rest for a while and have lunch?"
When they heard about lunch, the atmosphere suddenly became silent and everyone's expressions were a little complicated.
Zhang You was stunned: "Aren't you hungry?"
"I am indeed hungry." Jiang Lan smiled bitterly, "But the more serious problem is, what should we eat?"
There were indeed two unopened boxes of unexpired instant noodles in 917, but they were local products of the copy, so they were somewhat hesitant to eat them.
But apart from that, they had no food to fill their stomachs.
Dormitory 606 looked at each other in bewilderment. Zhang You was very surprised: "You guys don't bring any food or supplies with you to take the exam?"
“…This is also the first time we know that we need to bring supplies to take the exam.”
After explanation, it turned out that the examination rooms that other people had previously taken were basically their own dormitories, and their experience in outdoor locations was limited, and they also ignored the possibility of a long-term battle.
"It doesn't matter."
After exchanging a glance with his roommate, Zhang You took out two large bags of biscuits from his pocket in full view of everyone: "We have them."
The compressed biscuits, along with a small cup of water, were passed around to everyone in turn, serving as lunch after a busy morning.
Zhang You provided the biscuits and water. After the large bag was divided into 16 portions, each person got a small piece. Jiang Lan from the dormitory contributed a packet of seasoning, which could be added to water to make soup.
The other dormitories did not prepare food in advance, and as the one being helped, I felt very embarrassed and could only thank them repeatedly.
After a few hours of cooperation, everyone's vigilance towards each other has been reduced a lot. Before the game came, everyone was just an ordinary college student, and their vigilance and alertness were forced out by the exam.
Once the guard is gone, the conversation starts.
"In fact, when I first opened my eyes and saw so many people on the beds, I thought they were all NPCs. I almost died on the spot."
No. 11 is the most talkative among the four people in her dormitory. While nibbling on a cookie, she sighed: "I never thought that in my lifetime, I would meet classmates from other schools in this way."
College students from all over the world who were originally unrelated gathered in the same exam. Although they did not know each other, they felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy as brothers in distress.
"In fact, I almost cried with joy at first. If I hadn't calmed down, my reaction might have been even more intense than Mr. Ou's."
No. 5 sighed and raised his small paper cup: "The game is dangerous, and the exam is not easy. We met because we were destined to meet, and we are friends because we eat together. I believe that if we work together, we will definitely pass the exam safely!"
Ou Ruofei drank the soup in tears, then choked and coughed for a long time: "Ahem, although I don't have such great abilities as you guys, but, ahem, I will definitely do the task seriously and not hold you back."
After some chatting, everyone finally knew why Ou Ruofei was alone.
Her dormitory was originally for four people, but one of her roommates moved out for internship, leaving only three people. On the day the game was launched, Ou Ruofei happened to be on the first floor picking up a package. She didn't dare to move in the dark, and hid under the package rack for two hours before she mustered up the courage. But when she pushed open the door of the dormitory on the last countdown, she saw her roommate's terrified expression covered with black gelatin, and two pools of black liquid left on the ground after he disappeared.
"I seemed to have fainted from fright at the time. I don't know how the game judged it. I only know that when I opened my eyes again, I was inexplicably put into some kind of test. It seemed that there was a male ghost whose face I couldn't see clearly. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted that he had come to the wrong dormitory and this was the female dormitory. Then another female ghost came, but after walking around, she muttered to herself that the number of people was wrong, and then left again."
Ou Ruofei looked melancholy. "Then the test was over. I just passed with 60 points."
"Then what?"
Everyone became curious.
"And then, it's now." Orofei said timidly, "I was alone, I didn't know anything and I didn't have any weapons, so I didn't dare to take the exam. Later, because I was too lonely and scared, I clicked on the exam, and then I came in here."
Everyone: “…”
It turns out that this person is basically a nobody?
If I have to say that I'm unlucky, I have to say that I'm extremely lucky to have survived until now.
But if you say I was lucky, all my teammates went offline at the beginning, leaving me alone and helpless, which can said to be very unlucky.
Because he had no experience, no wonder he was so unguarded and almost got beaten by the wolf at the beginning.
"I understand that. If I were alone in the dormitory, I would also want to escape."
Guo Guo felt the same way, as did Anian. The timid people clinked their cups with each other, only to find that there was no soup left in their cups.
"Alas," Guo Guo sighed, "I feel like our lives are even worse than those of the students at this fraudulent university."
Tang Xin Jue smiled, and after being silent for who knows how long, he spoke for the first time: "At least we are still alive."
"As long as you are alive, there is hope for change. But things that have already happened cannot be changed."
She could feel the emotions in the memory, not just the fear, but also the sadness that ran through the entire memory.
Especially when the black fog appeared, there was a strong sense of reluctance and sadness.
This is the memory of the dead for the human world, even if it is a memory of pain and torture, it is better than...
A sharp pain burst out from his mind, and Tang Xinjue wiped the corner of his mouth imperceptibly and swallowed the fishy sweetness in his throat.
Immersing herself in the perspective and emotions of the ghosts took a toll on her more than she had imagined. But because of this, she also gained some additional unknown information. Not only about this instance, but also about the entire game.
[Xinjue, I feel like you have been unusually silent these past two hours.]
Zhang You tapped her gently in his mind.
Tang Xinjue lowered his eyes: [I am observing.]
…
Time passed quickly. After chatting with each other for a few minutes and communicating the situation, the food was finished.
Everyone packed up and left the dormitory again to check if there were any unusual changes.
From the bathroom, the corridor to the two closed dormitory doors, everything was unchanged as usual.
However, just as they were returning, something unexpected happened -
"ah!"
A scream suddenly sounded, and everyone was startled. A fist shadow immediately appeared on Zheng Wanqing's broken arm, Zhang You took out the death account book, and sister No. 5 raised a toy gun... Everyone took out their own weapons and jumped away, facing the two doors as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
But at the door of 919, a girl was standing alone, her face pale and covered in cold sweat.
It’s number 13.
They didn't have a deep impression of No. 13, or rather, they didn't have a deep impression of the entire dormitory consisting of No. 11, 12, 13, and 15. They only knew that No. 13 and No. 15 didn't talk much and just listened quietly.
Numbers 11 and 12 were terrified: "What's wrong with you? What happened?"
No. 13 came to his senses and hurried over to the crowd. However, after only two steps, his legs went weak and he knelt down, crying, "I got caught by the door!"
"Did a ghost catch you?"
"I don't know if it was a ghost, I didn't see it, I just knew that my back was facing the door, and then it was like a hand suddenly grabbed me..."
No. 13 turned around incoherently, and a white handprint on the back of his coat caught everyone's sight.
The size and shape of the handprint correspond exactly to a slender girl's palm.
No. 15 walked over and helped her up. No. 13 held No. 15's hand like a piece of driftwood, his lips trembling, "I, I won't die, right?"
