Chapter 83 Health Surprise Inspection (XII)
"You said you would chat with me, how can you leave? I have something to give you..."
The voice of No. 13 behind him entered his ears, but it was a strange, hoarse female voice, stinging Orofi's neural network like a reptile.
"I don't want it, I don't want to watch it, let me go back!"
Ou Ruofei wanted to run, but her legs seemed to be filled with lead, and she could only move slowly on the ground, tears welling up in her eyes. She regretted so much why she had just lost her soul and was so confused that she didn't notice anything.
It was not until the protective necklace around her neck suddenly broke into pieces and the sharp fragments cut her skin, and she felt the pain, that she suddenly woke up and finally remembered to escape.
His legs seemed to be stuck in the mud and he couldn't move. Ou Ruofei almost collapsed. He shouted for help, hoping that the other people sleeping in the dormitory could wake up.
The dormitory was silent, as if no one heard her cry for help. Orofei struggled forward and finally moved to her bed. She remembered that she had hidden the remaining protection necklace under her pillow. As long as she got it...
There was a rustling sound from above her head, like a tulle curtain moving. She looked up and saw that the curtain of the upper bunk in front of her had been opened at some point, and No. 15's face was stuck in the gap, staring at her lifelessly.
Orofei screamed in despair, not because of No. 15's head, but because her wrist was grabbed. In order to break free, she turned around subconsciously and bumped into a pair of dark eyeballs.
And a pale face that was so close to her that it filled her entire field of vision.
"ah!!!"
BANG!!
Tang Xinjue kicked the door open and the two of them broke into the dormitory one after another.
As far as the eye could see, the dormitory was extremely quiet. Everyone was sleeping peacefully in their own beds, and there was no sign of an accident scene.
Jiang Lan frowned: "Are you sure the cry for help you heard was in the dormitory?"
Tang Xinjue remained silent. The feeling of extreme fear still remained in her mental perception, but the source of fear seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
She walked towards Ou Ruofei's bed No. 14 without hesitation, opened the bed curtain, and saw the girl lying quietly on the bed, without any fear on her face.
Was she sensing something wrong? Or...
She contacted Guo Guo and the others in her mind. At the same time, Jiang Lan also strode to her roommate's bed. The next moment, they both turned their heads and looked at each other: "This is not our dormitory!"
Guo Guo was woken up with sleepy eyes, and before he could wake up, a broom was handed to him.
Yes, a new day has arrived and she has to clean up.
After sweeping a few times, No. 13 suddenly stopped her and said, "The order has changed today. You go to clean the bathroom."
Seeing the smile on No. 13's face, Guo Guo was stunned for a moment but didn't think too much about it. He quickly walked to the bathroom yawning and saw No. 15 wiping the mirror. He greeted her, "Good morning."
No. 15 did not answer, but continued to wipe the mirror slowly. The rag made a harsh friction sound on the glass.
Guo Guo felt that something seemed to be wrong. She looked at the broom in her hand, but couldn't remember what it was. She made small talk and said, "By the way, have you seen my roommates? Why didn't I see them..."
Before she finished her words, the broom hit a hard box and she paused.
No. 15 said slowly: "This is a gift from me to you, pick it up and take a look."
Guo Guo: ...When you give someone a gift, you just throw it on the ground and wait for someone to pick it up?
She opened her eyes wide and stared at the box on the ground for a long time. Without bending down, she swallowed twice.
For some reason, she felt somewhat resistant. The dull pain between her eyebrows seemed to be telling her something.
No. 15 was still urging him, and Guo Guo subconsciously replied, "Why don't you pick it up yourself?"
There was silence behind him.
In the silence, Guo Guo finally saw the source of her feeling that something was wrong - her Yin-Yang eyes gradually started to function amid the pain, and she witnessed with her own eyes a black gas emanating from the ground and enveloping the box.
Guo Guo: “…”
No. 15's light voice sounded from behind: "I want to help you pick it up, but my hand was caught and it hurts..."
Guo Guo turned his head stiffly and looked at the girl standing straight in front of the mirror. A mirror with blood all over it came into view.
It turned out that No. 15 did not use a rag to wipe the mirror, but used her own hands - the girl's entire wrist was immersed in the mirror, and every time she moved, her skin was cut by the sharp mirror surface, and blood gushed out as she moved.
In her field of vision, the girl in the mirror rolled her eyes and gave her a weird smile.
This is not the face of No. 15 at all!
Guo Guo screamed loudly, frantically calling other roommates in his mind, and turned around to open the door and run away.
However, the bathroom door was locked tightly and could not be opened no matter how hard she knocked on it, and there was no response in her mind.
"Help! God Jue! Miss! Sister You!" Guo Guo knocked on the door desperately, and suddenly remembered that he still had the APP, so he hurriedly took out his phone -
A distorted female face was reflected on the screen. No. 13 had her mouth wrapped in tape, forcing out a deformed smile.
He shook his hand reflexively and the phone fell to the ground, sliding along the ground to the door of the cubicle. Two figures fighting were reflected on the screen.
Guo Guo's mind suddenly came to him, and he immediately ran up and kicked open the door of the compartment. With a slight tearing sound, An Nian's struggling and panicked figure appeared in front of him.
Ou Ruofei, with a stiff expression, was grabbing her wrist and trying to put a black bracelet on it: "This is a gift from me to you..."
Before he could put it on completely, Ou Ruofei was suddenly grabbed by the back of the neck and slid out as Guo Guo pulled hard.
"Gift, gift..." Ou Ruofei raised his hands and was still trying to make some movements, but Guo Guo elbowed him out of the compartment and then slammed the door shut.
The two living people hid in the toilet cubicle, gasping for breath and staring at each other. Finally, Guo Guo took out the water-drop jade pendant and confirmed that the "Anian" in front of him was not in danger.
"What's going on? What happened to them? What are the gifts? Where are the others?"
He asked all his questions in one breath, but all he got was Anian shaking his head blankly, indicating that he knew nothing about anything.
Guo Guo felt his head pounding. He grabbed his cell phone and called the dormitory, but as expected, the call could not be connected.
No, something is wrong. How could things suddenly turn out like this? I always feel like something is wrong...
But before she could figure it out, the cubicle door made a strange click and she fell on her back.
No. 15 with bleeding hands, No. 13 with half of his face sealed with tape, and Ou Ruofei, who was pale and stiff, were crowded together at the door, staring at them expressionlessly.
…
…
One, two, three, after trying all 14 "classmates" who were in deep sleep, Tang Xinjue's face was as gloomy as water: "I'm not sure what they are, but they are definitely not people we know."
Rather than saying that all 14 people were replaced in the few seconds they rushed back, it would be better to say that the entire space was replaced. The two tried all methods and found that they could not contact their roommates.
The dormitory, corridor and bathroom were all shrouded in extreme silence, as if in a silent cage, with no way out to return to reality.
They are trapped here.
"What's this?" Jiang Lan smiled bitterly and leaned against the bed rail. She almost went crazy after finding out she had lost contact with her roommate. She was so excited that she coughed violently for a while, and her hoarse throat was bleeding, and she could only speak in a breathy voice.
Tang Xinjue twisted his fingers one by one, his gentle expression turned into cold and silent, without even a trace of unnecessary expression.
This is what she really looks like.
After taking half a minute to organize her thoughts, she suddenly said, "It was a dream."
"What?"
"This is a dream." Tang Xin Jue lifted his eyelids, and his pupils reflected the outline of the space. "It is so lifelike because it is based on our memories, so it has no exit. Our consciousness is trapped here."
While in the bathroom, she was still in mental contact with Guo Guo and the other two, but after receiving Ou Ruofei's fear signal, she forgot to check on her roommates in the dormitory first, and rushed back without thinking.
Presumably, she and Jiang Lan had already been disturbed to a certain extent since then. Just like when people are dreaming, they are often in a state of confusion and unable to think completely.
Jiang Lan: "Isn't it possible that this is an alternate dimension or an illusion?"
Tang Xin Jue: "It's possible, but not very likely. If this is a different space, then it has no solution in terms of initiative. It's like being thrown into a temporary copy, and we can only passively wait for it to ask questions. Emotionally, I personally don't want to accept this possibility."
Seeing her speak so bluntly, Jiang Lan was startled: "Why?"
Tang Xin Jue: "We can wait, what about the others?"
It is highly likely that more than just the two of them entered the dream passively. Considering Ou Rufei's sudden emotions, it could even be everyone.
She continued, "I'm not afraid of ghosts that appear in my dreams. As long as they show up, I have my own way to deal with them. You should be able to do the same, right?"
Jiang Lan closed her eyes and understood what Tang Xin Jue meant.
"I can, Ke Ke can too...but Anian can't."
Once everyone is dispersed, the weaker roommates will definitely face the greatest danger, and they are out of reach.
The copy does not need to bother attacking the strong ones, just need to trap them, just like now -
She stood up and asked: "Do we have a way to get out?"
Tang Xin Jue: "If it is a dream or hallucination, it will be there, but you may have to pay a price."
The other side had already prepared themselves mentally with a serious look on their faces, but then they heard Tang Xin Jue say, "Stop your ears."
Jiang Lan:?
In a flash, a light flashed in Tang Xinjue's palm , and a genuine... toilet plunger appeared.
Jiang Lan: ? ?
Just as he blocked his ears, the rubber head of the toilet plunger suddenly began to move, and the next second, overwhelming ghostly screams erupted from it, sweeping across the entire space!
Sizzle——
Like a mirror shattered, a crack quietly appeared, and then a second one... spider-web-like cracks densely spread across the air.
Then it shattered with a loud bang.
