Chapter 043 Divine Accusation

【——Please follow the school rules.】

…

[This module is an open module - Qiu Hai Private High School. ]

[Module level: S]

Please note the following rules:

[1. Pay attention to your character setting and do not attempt any super-sport behaviors. If your character level falls below 60, you will be stared at by unknown entities. As your level gradually decreases, you will be targeted by the model creatures until your characterization fails.]

[Second, stay rational. Sometimes, excessive role-playing is not a good thing. Don't get addicted to virtual life unless you want to become him.]

[Third, pay attention to your SAN value and don't let it be polluted by unknown things. Pollution is madness. But... who can say this isn't a kind of freedom?]

[Your role card is: Transfer Student.]

[Module Background: After your grandmother passed away in the countryside, you completed the transfer procedures and prepared to live with your brother, who you had been separated from since childhood. You were not familiar with him, but you only heard that he was the student council president of "Qiumai Private High School" and an excellent student with both good character and good academic performance.

In this school where humans and ghosts coexist, a special system has been born under the highly managed and autonomous environment of the student union: the rules of the escape trial: accusations are made once a week to try the ghosts hiding in the crowd. Under this deformed system, it is a game between hunter and prey.

You came to this school as a transfer student and you need to survive. 】

[Module end time: Guifang extinction. ]

[Main Mission: Survive in school as the character with the ID card and survive successfully.]

[Advanced Quest: Find the Scales of Judgment.]

[Ultimate Mission: Find out all the hidden secrets of Qiu Hai Private High School.]

[Role Mission: 1. Successfully arrive at Qiu Hai Private High School and survive the first night.]

…A series of system prompts rang out, and Rong Le's consciousness gradually became clear.

He returned to that home after the previous module was completed and rested for a few days as mentioned in the later story. The University of Michigan had developed the latest special medicine, and under the effects of the medicine and sleep, his mental state gradually returned to normal.

At the same time, he also checked the reward settlement of the previous module.

The unknown fragments have not been found to have any function yet, and it seems that they can only be collected slowly. The red and blue bottle potions can quickly restore the status, and they will only be dropped after the level-clearing module.

[Little Red Bottle Potion: Restores strength and injuries, while also clearing toxins. Drinking three bottles in a row can transform your physique. Drinking more than five bottles will only temporarily produce miracles, but will also have devastating effects on the body. Note: While this potion is beneficial, remember not to overdo it.]

[Small Blue Bottle Potion: Restores SAN and other negative statuses. Consuming three bottles in a row will improve mental toughness. Consuming more than five bottles will cause a temporary miracle, but will also have a devastating effect on the mind. Note: Consuming multiple bottles in a row will become addictive and hinder mental recovery.]

Although there are side effects, the effect of the medicine is very strong and can completely make up for this shortcoming.

After he came to this module, he received the module's message prompts immediately.

Overall evaluation: An ordinary student with strange skills. 】

Rong Le asked, "Why did my basic attributes and skill levels decrease? And why does an ordinary student have the lock-picking skill?"

"The basic attributes of the character card need to be reasonable for the role. You as a teenager and you as a young adult will have different degrees of difference in all aspects. This is a very reasonable situation."

KP said implicitly: "Also, the skills possessed by the player themselves will also affect the skill attributes to a certain extent."

Rong Le: “…”

No wonder he became a professor at the University of Michigan at a young age in the future and became a legendary investigator. It turns out that he has already shown certain potential.

"A campus ruled by the rules of escape..."

The black-haired, green-eyed boy was lost in thought, his brow raised as if he had seen something interesting.

"Oh my god, so cute..."

"A young version of Rongrong, wow!"

"It looks like you've returned to normal. I missed you so much after not seeing you for a few days, Rongrong."

"Rongrong is back again. How have you been these past few days? The live broadcast room is black, but Rongrong doesn't seem to have been teleported out. Is she staying in the module?"

"Go back upstairs. It should be. If someone finds Rongrong, it will definitely cause a sensation."

"Escape rules? Humans and ghosts coexisting? That sounds perverted..."

The barrage has already started chatting.

In the center of the live broadcast room's camera was a full-body close-up of the young boy, with his white and slender knuckles, his slender and tall figure, and a face that was a little androgynous due to his youth. His hair was tied at the back of his head with a ribbon, with the ends of his hair sticking up a little messily, and his whole body was brimming with youthful vitality.

He was wearing a light grey college uniform, with a straight suit vest outlining his slender and flexible waist. In the middle of his white shirt collar was an emerald green bow tie, which matched the color of his eyes.

The corners of the barrage's mouths were filled with tears of emotion:

"I love young boys, they are so awesome!!"

"To be honest, I really stayed here because of my looks. My IQ can't keep up with the plot, and I can only lick the screen."

"I'm really going to faint. My wife is so beautiful!"

“Even if I’m buried in a grave, I’ll crawl out and scream at the top of my lungs, Wife—!”

"I have a question, KP. Since the timeline played by the characters doesn't always move forward, if I die at a time point before Polant, will the future I created before become a fallacy?"

Rong Le realized this problem when she found that the character card had turned into a teenager.

KP: “The world line is not a long linear river. You can think of it as a structure similar to a Möbius strip.”

"It is composed of time nodes. It seems that the past you created the future, but sometimes it is the future you who created the past. For higher-dimensional beings, time does not flow forward continuously."

"I can responsibly tell you that the impact caused by ordinary players who play the quest will likely be overwritten. Only by successfully tampering with the world line of the entire module can we completely establish the existence of that time node."

KP stated calmly, "In other words, before this, all modules were in an unknown timeline, and the future derived from it was not the one you knew."

Rong Le: "You mean to say that what I did was to establish the module from an unknown world line to a known one. The time node that I completely tampered with is like an anchor."

"If I also tamper with the time node of this module, then this module will inevitably usher in a future that has also been tampered with by me."

Now it all makes sense.

This time, he is an ordinary student. His high inspiration and reconnaissance values ​​are his natural attributes, and his san value gives him a full sense of security. After all, his mental state in his youth was really worrying.

After Rong Le finished his conversation with KP, he raised his hand to hold his bow tie and loosened it slightly, then put his hand down and looked around.

The whole room was spacious and bright, and everything was arranged neatly. He was the only one sitting on the sofa, with his admission materials placed beside him and a glass of water on the coffee table in front of him.

This is the student union president's office.

The student union of this school manages almost all the affairs of the school, and the principal is almost just a background board. However, to be able to become the student union president in this campus and manage a campus where humans and ghosts coexist, his adopted brother is definitely not an ordinary person.

Background information says that his elder brother is only one year younger than him, but because the two brothers have had a good relationship since childhood, and their parents also want them to take care of each other, they have been going to school together since childhood and are in the same grade.

Rong Le quickly thought about the currently known information and slowly looked around the office.

The first time he looked around the office, he discovered that there was more than one camera hidden around. He pretended to be waiting bored and stood in front of the bookshelf, looking up casually.

This luxuriously decorated office also had matching heavy bookshelves, on which were placed various books and documents. He did not reach out to flip through them, but instead browsed through the titles of the books, guessing the contents.

Not long after, the door was opened from the outside.

The rumored student council president, Rong Qing, has similar black hair and green eyes, and they look like brothers without a doubt.

It was not until he walked up to Rong Le that the subtle differences between the two could be seen. In addition to the different appearances, his figure was taller and wider, full of a healthy sense of strength.

"Sorry, I was busy with something and just finished it."

The boy's eyes fell on the book he had been staring at before. "Human Psychology and the Natural Environment, so you are interested in this kind of book?"

Rong Le: "Just taking a look."

Rong Qing chuckled softly twice, his short hair brushing past his ears. He seemed to have no sense of distance towards this brother who suddenly appeared. He stood behind Rong Le, leaning forward slightly, wantonly invading his territory.

Rong Le was trapped in the middle of the bookshelf, with his chest behind her, and she felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.

This overly intimate distance made him feel uncomfortable and he resisted it very much.

The air seemed to stagnate for a moment.

Rong Qing's dangerous nature only flashed for a moment before he regained his flawless smile. "I'm so sorry, I've always wanted to see you. You really are a lot like me, Rong Le."

Rong Le narrowed his eyes slightly, and said meaningfully: "After all, we are brothers."

It seems that there will be no peace during this period, and the difficult characters have appeared in front of him as early as the beginning of the module.

Rong Qing is both virtuous and academically excellent, and is also very prestigious among students. When the news spread that the president's younger brother had transferred to the school, everyone was very curious.

Class A, who were the first to learn the news, has already sparked a heated discussion.

"Chang Shan, when you went to the office to deliver the documents, did you see what your brother looked like?"

In the classroom, Zhan Mingyue in the back row nudged Chang Shan's shoulder.

Chang Shan rolled his eyes, pushed up his glasses and said coldly: "I didn't see it. I don't understand why you are so excited. You are not the president himself."

Zhan Mingyue said righteously: "You don't understand, the president is a god in heaven, we can't reach him. Since the president is not good enough, we still have our younger brother!"

Chang Shan didn't bother to join in the girls' conversation and continued looking at his own exercises. "If you have the time, you should just look at a few more questions. In the last placement test, I remember you were just a few places away from falling to the bottom. Be careful not to get dropped out of Class A."

Chang Shan's words seemed to have some kind of magic power. Zhan Mingyue's face changed, and his expression became a little ugly: "Chang Shan, you are the only one who can talk!"

Although he said this, his hands were still honest and he took out the book. He stopped chatting about gossip and started studying.

When the bell rang and the teacher walked in and onto the podium, Chang Shan glanced sideways at that position.

Still empty.

…

Outside, after the preparatory bell rang, the number of people in the corridor began to decrease.

Rong Le followed behind Rong Qing, looking around.

On the surface, this school is no different from a normal school. The campus environment is beautiful, the students are full of youthful atmosphere, and people often greet Rong Qing.

Rong Qing would also respond gently, which showed that he was very popular.

Rong Le also received a lot of curious looks, and he knew it was because he and Rong Qing looked too similar.

When the bell rings, the entire corridor is empty. The students are very disciplined and never stay in the corridor or outside after the bell rings.

Rong Le said casually, "The school is very disciplined."

Rong Qing: "Qiuhai's student handbook will be sent to you along with the textbooks. This place may be a little different from your hometown. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Rong Le joked, "Brother, this is not my hometown alone."

Rong Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled as if embarrassed and said, "Look at me, I always forget about this."

Rong Le took a few quick steps and walked side by side with him in the corridor: "Brother, is my dormitory with you?"

The young boy looked up at me in a very cute manner. The light coming through the corridor glass shone on him, making him look clean and simple. His eyes were clear and beautiful, far more moving than real gems.

Rong Qing looked at him with an inexplicably focused gaze and said with a smile, "Do you want to live with me?"

Rong Le nodded: "Yeah."

A thrilling smile spread across Rong Qing's face, and he said meaningfully, "Yes, of course you should stay with me."

The comments were very shocking, and they all said:

"Rongrong, run! This is definitely the big boss!"

"My goodness, what kind of big-tailed wolf is this? It will definitely eat all the players to the bone."

"Am I the only one who thinks it's cute when Rongrong calls him brother? He's really well behaved. Even if he's really a younger brother you haven't seen for a long time, brother will like him very much, right?"

"Do you have a filter for him? He's a master of schemes. You should be worried about other people, right?"

"I don't know anything. I just know that brother is so handsome, and his smile is so gentle. He has the same eye color as our Rongrong, slurp slurp."

Finally, Rong Qing brought him to a classroom. There was a sign for Class A, Grade 3 hanging on the door, and the sound of the teacher lecturing could be heard from inside.

Rong Qing knocked on the door and the sound inside stopped.

After a moment of silence, the classroom door opened. The gloomy teacher saw Rong Qing and his expression softened: "It's you."

Rong Qing: "I'm sorry, I have a transfer student here and I've delayed your class."

The teacher's eyes swept over Rong Le, lingered for a while on his appearance which was extremely similar to Rong Qing, and nodded to let them in.

They walked in under the gaze of the whole class. Rong Qing asked Rong Le to sit by the window as usual, while he sat on the side near the corridor.

Everyone in the class was looking at Rong Le, both openly and covertly.

There was one gaze in particular that was the most intense. Rong Le looked up and saw a girl with long straight black hair staring at him.

The corners of his lips curled up, and the girl looked away hurriedly as if she was burned.

Rong Qing's voice seemed to carry some dissatisfaction in his ears: "Focus on the class."

Because I just transferred to this school and haven’t received the textbooks yet, I can only review them with Rongqing for the time being.

Rong Le looked away, not knowing what this school taught, but it seemed like they attached great importance to students' academic performance, so she began to read with great interest.

This class was about English, and Rong Le's previous module was about foreign language environment, so he simply started reading other books in private. He flipped through the math book as if he was playing, which attracted the attention of the teacher above.

Rong Qing lowered his eyes and gently tapped the table with his fingertips.

"The new student, please stand up and answer this question." The teacher's voice was cold.

The classroom fell silent in an instant. Rong Le slowly raised his eyes, saw the question on the blackboard clearly, stood up and answered the question fluently.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the teacher’s face seemed even gloomier.

He said coldly, "Sit down and listen carefully, or you will be kicked out of this class for the placement test."

Rong Le sat down and whispered, "What is the graded test?"

Rong Qing: "It's an exam that divides students into different levels. In the school, only Class A is absolutely safe. The other classes are at risk of ghosts."

"Since you've transferred to this school, you know the rules. If you don't know whether the people around you are human or ghost, you're exposing yourself to danger. Only if you score in the top 30 on the placement test can you stay in Class A."

Rong Le: "Then the ghost cannot be eliminated?"

Rong Qing: "Of course, it's better to say that this is Qiu Hai's way of selecting elites. This school brings in all kinds of talents to fight, and only those who survive are recognized as elites by society. Ghosts will pollute people, and the only way for people to fight ghosts is to accuse the ghosts of their identities during the weekly accusations."

"If it's correct, the human side wins. If the opponent is not a ghost and the human doesn't have enough points, then the game will be contaminated."

"Here, everything from food, clothing, housing, transportation, and even people's lives, is determined by points."

He seemed to see the curiosity in Rong Le's eyes, and he widened his green eyes. The boy's hair hanging from his ears fell lightly on his lips. The sunlight from the window made his face bright and hazy, and his eyes could not help but fall on those full and slightly red lips.

He smiled and said, "Since you are so curious, you will understand everything when you read it once."

Rong Qing lowered his dark green eyes, with an unfathomable smile on his lips, and said softly:

"—Because tonight is the day of accusation."
