Chapter 17 School for the Blind

After making sure Yao Xianxian had gone far away, Xu Zhiyan realized that he was in an unfamiliar building. Looking at the tables, chairs and benches around him, it didn't look like a teaching building.

Without caring about anything else, he checked the props in his hand.

Yao Xianxian gave three things in total.

One piece of A grade and two pieces of E grade.

Among them, the E-level props are two disposable smoke/fog/bombs, and the A-level props are a black signing pen.

[Name: Friendship Pen]

[Level: A]

[Type: Summon]

[Introduction: Something that occasionally appears in campus-related scenes, it allows you to connect with your "friends"! And you can summon your "friends" in an emergency! ]

[Usage consumption: Each use will deduct 99% of the current spirit value. ]

[Notes on use: You need to establish a connection with a 'friend'. The number of times it can be used and the duration of the summoning are related to the ability of the 'friend' summoned.]

"It's really useless." Xu Zhiyan sighed and put away the props.

Using it once will deduct almost all of your mental power, leaving only 1%, most likely 1 point. If you suffer even a little mental power-related damage, you will be in big trouble.

But think about it, Yao Xianxian was about to kill him just now, even though he was fooled temporarily, it is unlikely that she would take out high-quality props.

If you think about it this way, it’s normal to get high-quality useless stuff!

When Xu Zhiyan put the props back into the system package, he found a small box icon in the corner of the package.

It’s the reward I forgot to check when I was doing the side quest!

But he took out the props excitedly, but was dumbfounded after reading the notes.

[Name: Box of Time]

[Level: S]

【type:? 】

[Introduction: A strange box with a strange power of time. ]

[Notes: Players need to figure out how to use it themselves.]

If what Yao Xianxian gave him was high-quality chicken ribs, then what he got was top-grade chicken ribs!

“There’s not even an instruction manual. Doesn’t that fit the profile of a crappy game?” He sneered and took the box back.

The moon is rising high in the sky and it is now nearly eleven o'clock.

Excited Xu Zhiyan decided to explore other places on campus.

As soon as he left the room in front of him, he encountered a problem.

I can’t even get out of this building!

When she came, Yao Xianxian used props to pass through the wall directly.

Now that he was left here alone, the problem became how to get out.

The front door was locked from the outside, so even if Xu Zhiyan had a key to open the door, it would be useless. Although the windows on the first floor could be opened, they were all equipped with anti-theft bars, making it impossible to get out.

However, he did discover some other information while looking for an exit.

This building is the abandoned administrative building rumored on campus. I didn’t expect to end up here by accident.

The air was filled with a choking smell of dust. From time to time, pieces of wall paint would fall off and fall to the ground in a small pile of debris. Almost every room contained some discarded debris, some of which looked intact.

Xu Zhiyan used a flashlight and found a place that looked like an office. There were a lot of things in it, and each table was filled to the brim.

Stainless steel thermos cups, bookshelves piled with teaching plans and books, withered and blackened potted plants...

There was a glass fish tank on one of the tables.

The water inside has dried up, leaving only a small goldfish that has been corroded by time and is now just a skeleton. Looking at the unopened fish feed piled up next to it, it must have been very favored and lived a decent life.

I picked up a few lesson plans at random, and the dates on them were all ten years ago.

Xu Zhiyan resisted the urge to search the drawers for supplies, dusted off his hands and walked out.

“What happened here ten years ago?”

There are some unusual things in this building. Normally, even if one wants to move offices, one wouldn't be in such a hurry. For example, the goldfish is obviously loved by its owner. There is no reason for it to be abandoned here.

Standing in the corridor, he picked up the old school uniform on the ground and wiped the dusty notice board.

[Announcement: All personnel in the administrative building must move to the new building in a timely manner and must move all their belongings within three days.]

The words on it are printed and have faded a little. There is also an "X" drawn on it.

Someone scribbled something underneath:

[Everyone must move out today! Go! Don’t come back after you leave!]

[Don't come in! Don't come in!]

[No one allowed inside!]

The last two rows seemed to have been added by someone later. The handwriting has changed from sloppy to cursive, and it is impossible to tell the difference without careful observation.

Xu Zhiyan shuddered.

He inexplicably felt the fear conveyed by these lines of handwriting written ten years ago.

Glancing at his right hand which was still wearing a black glove, Xu Zhiyan hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked upstairs.

Now, whether he wanted to or not, he couldn't get out of the first floor.

I can only try my luck on the second floor.

If this place is really dangerous...

Does that mean that the copy safe house he is looking for is here?

In connection with the rumor, if he could successfully find the principal's office, he might be able to find out the whereabouts of the safe house.

The windows on the second floor were all installed with thick anti-theft railings, just like the windows on the first floor. When Xu Zhiyan went up to the fifth floor, he realized that the windows of the entire administrative building were all installed with railings, and the higher the floor, the thicker the railings.

The most outrageous is the fifth floor.

The windows were sealed with cement, exactly the same as those in the school hospital.

"It doesn't look like it's meant to prevent theft, but more like it's meant to prevent the things inside from getting out..." Xu Zhiyan muttered to himself.

Once this idea came to mind, even the principal's office right in front of me no longer seemed attractive!

The flashlight I brought from outside the school is an old model, and I can’t accurately judge the remaining battery power, but the light is much dimmer than last night, so I don’t know how long it can last.

All fear comes from insufficient firepower.

Xu Zhiyan took out the bone-cutting knife and held it tightly in his hand, trying to increase his confidence, but his heart was beating faster, not knowing whether it was because of climbing the stairs or the deep darkness.

Although he is good at the game and is very brave, he is inevitably nervous when he does not have enough weapons and props.

Forget it, I’m here anyway.

With this in mind, Xu Zhiyan plucked up his courage and decided to try out the campus rumor he had heard before while the flashlight was still on.

Knock on the door nine times in three times. If you see blood seeping out from the crack of the door, you can ask a question.

Tiptoeing to the door of the principal's office, he put away the bone-cutting knife, bent his index finger, and began to knock on the door as instructed.

“Boom boom boom…”

“Boom boom boom…”

“Boom boom boom…”

The light from the flashlight gathered at my feet and nothing happened.

What blood? There is none!

If Xu Zhiyan hadn't made sure that he had explored the entire building, he would have thought that he had encountered some fake principal's office!

Just when he was about to leave, the door in front of him suddenly opened!

Xu Zhiyan took several steps back and almost hit the wall.

The breath of death poured out from the door. The flashlight clearly shone inside, but it was still dark inside, as if it was a bottomless different dimension.

The feeling of insignificance was too strong. Xu Zhiyan held his breath, did not explore, and ran towards the stairs.

After he went down three floors breathlessly, the scene in front of him made him break out in cold sweat.

In the dark corridor with windows sealed with cement, a door with a sign reading "Principal's Office" was wide open, as if inviting him to come in.

After staggering back a few steps, Xu Zhiyan returned to the upper floor.

The door of the principal's office suddenly appeared before him again, open to him.

After making sure that no matter whether he went up or down the stairs, he would end up at the door of the principal's office on the fifth floor, Xu Zhiyan stopped struggling and retreated to the corner of the stairs.

"God is trapped in a wall? This is a bit troublesome."

Unlike previous monsters, they either have physical bodies or can communicate.

This building is really tricky as there is no way out!

After calling up the panel again, Xu Zhiyan had no time to curse the false information given by the game. He tried his best to calm his mind and look for clues from it.

A false god who can predict the future.

This means that the guy in the door can see the future, but he can’t ask questions until blood comes out of the crack in the door.

Could the gaming system be any more crappy?

So there is no explanation at all on what to do when the door opens!

Suddenly, Xu Zhiyan seemed to have thought of something and shone a flashlight towards the dial hanging in the corridor.

Thankfully, the battery in the watch was strong enough.

The watch in front of me has been running for about ten years and is still running smoothly.

Seeing that the time above was consistent with the time on the game panel, he breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the time is consistent and still moving, it proves that the space is flowing.

Most of the strange things like campus anomalies happen at night. So when the enemy is unknown and there are no more effective means of attack, waiting becomes the best option.

After deciding on a response plan, Xu Zhiyan stopped bothering himself as his energy had already reached its limit.

He casually sat on the top step of the stairs, fished out a pack of biscuits from the cafeteria from his pocket, and faced the door of the principal's office from afar.

After the strange confrontation began, the audience in the live broadcast room was more anxious than him.

[Hey, hey, hey! No way! Are we going to sit here like this until dawn? ]

[Of course, otherwise, with Xiao Baiwan's current equipment, who do you think he can beat if he encounters a monster that he can't communicate with? ]

[So who can explain why Xiao Baiwan has such a high psychological quality and can calmly eat cookies under such conditions? ]

[Because the cafeteria canteen was having a biscuit promotion of buy one get two free, he bought six packs.]

【Hahahaha dbq but this reason is really funny! 】

[Fuck, look! Something is coming out of that door! ]

Perhaps the silence lasted too long and the creature in the door could no longer sit still.

After Xu Zhiyan replenished his energy and finished packaging the biscuits, he caught a glimpse of several black shadows as thick as wrists poking out from the door!

He held his breath, slowed down his pace and walked back, and threw the bag of crumpled biscuits in his hand down the stairs.

The sound made by the plastic bag did not affect the movement of the black shadows.

Xu Zhiyan was shocked and realized that he was doomed!

The shadows did not give him more time to think. They wrapped around him in an instant, tightly strangling his body. The huge force instantly dragged him to the door of the principal's office. He lost control of the flashlight and it fell to the ground.

By the time Xu Zhiyan came to his senses, most of his body had already disappeared into the principal's office. He subconsciously clung to the door frame and refused to let go even if he was beaten to death.

"I didn't enter on my own initiative! This is against the rules!"

He shouted in despair.

He thought there would be no response, but unexpectedly, the next second, something wrapped around his waist from behind.

The touch made his hair stand on end instantly.

I suddenly recalled the dream I had when I fell asleep on the first day I entered the dormitory.

Then, a slender and powerful hand passed through his waist and grabbed his neck.

"Xu Zhiyan? Little liar..."

The feeling of suffocation in the dream was too clear. Although Xu Zhiyan wanted to ask the other party why he knew his name, the situation was urgent. He did not wait for the other party to make the next move and directly denied it.

"No, my name is Yao Xianxian!"

"The person who just walked out of here is Xu Zhiyan! He has a student ID card on him, otherwise you can search him. I don't have a student ID card at all..."

Before he could finish, something was suddenly thrown out from the dark door.

"Bang!"

A broken arm and two student ID cards fell right where the flashlight could reach.

The sleeve was stained red with blood, but it was not difficult to identify from the fabric that it was clearly Yao Xianxian's arm!

Xu Zhiyan opened his mouth, but all the remaining sophistry got stuck in his throat.

Damn it! I messed up this time!
