Chapter 182 Mizuki Private High School (Fifty-four)

Xu Mengjie rested in Yang Yina's room at night. She took the initiative to suggest it after coming out of Murphys' dormitory.

Yang Yina was not used to resting with others, but because the only player in her class who was relatively familiar with her died because of those monsters in the forest in the afternoon, the other empty room was also empty.

In addition, just now in Murphys' room, he couldn't bear to save her life, and the other party seemed to have developed some kind of dependence on him.

In the end, Yang Yina let the other party rest in another empty dormitory. The life teacher said that they could not leave the dormitory gate, but did not restrict the player's movement within the dormitory.

However, when they came out of Murphys' room, it was almost nine o'clock. They had to go to the mysterious after-school tutoring at twelve o'clock, and neither of them felt sleepy.

After all, judging from the result-oriented nature of the game and their usual style of doing things, this after-school tutoring seemed strange no matter how they looked at it. Besides, they had never seen any serious after-school tutoring scheduled in the early morning.

But since the credit ranking has fallen behind, there is no point in saying anything else now.

While she couldn't sleep, Yang Yina checked her warehouse and counted some props. She also bought some medicine while there was no mysterious ban, just in case she needed it later.

After doing all this, she closed her eyes and rested for a while, and opened her eyes when the hour hand approached zero.

At the same time, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Mengjie couldn't sleep either. She didn't even go back to her dormitory room and just stayed on the sofa.

When Yang Yina came out, she seemed to be startled by the knock on the door.

As expected, there was a faceless teacher outside the door. He didn't seem to be worried that the students would refuse to go to certain places. He just raised his hand towards the two of them.

A look of hesitation flashed across Xu Mengjie's face, and she seemed to want to resist, but seeing that Yang Yina did not resist and followed her obediently, she had no choice but to follow her.

"There's only one teacher, maybe we can give it a try?"

After walking out of the dormitory, the temperature seemed to drop a lot. Xu Mengjie looked at the pitch-black campus in the distance and spoke to Yang Yina in a low voice, as if she had not given up and just followed him to leave.

Yang Yina sighed, not knowing how the other party entered this dungeon. To be precise, she didn't know. Those who could enter this dungeon all had certain strength. Even if they were not strong, they were very familiar with the rules of the dungeon and would definitely not ask such low-level questions.

If you say that you were frightened to the point of being incoherent in Morpheus' room, then there is really no mystery to refute now.

"Haven't you figured it out yet?"

Yang Yina said this without any emotion. Her own personal skills were not particularly strong, and she was also worried about the unknown situation that would occur later, so she did not have much experience in dealing with the other party and just gave a brief explanation.

"It's called after-school tutoring, but it's actually a punishment set by the system for not achieving the mission objectives. You can't avoid it. I guess if you resist now, or turn back directly, the faceless teacher in front will ignore you. But don't forget that the life teacher said not to leave the dormitory easily at night. She is actually just a guide who can ensure our safety. If you leave now, it will be difficult to guarantee your safety when you come out later."

Yang Yina's tone was light, but her steps were very close, always two steps behind the teacher.

Not sure if it was due to some evil reason or if what Yang Yina said was true, but Xu Mengjie always felt that the campus was too quiet at night and the shadows of the surrounding trees were too dark.

And now, in addition to the sounds of their footsteps, she seemed to hear other sounds.

It was like the sound of something rubbing against the ground, and it was specially coordinated with their footsteps, so if you didn't pay close attention, you wouldn't be able to detect it at all.

Xu Mengjie's heart was pounding, but she finally gave up the idea of ​​leaving.

She now regretted coming to this copy very much. Her little ability of stealing things was not enough here.

It was impossible to say that she had no desire or curiosity for the fragments of the faith totem, but she never thought that she would get the admission letter.

But her boyfriend had an idea and used his skills to cooperate with Xu Mengjie. He was lucky enough to steal the admission letter from another player while the dungeon was open.

Then her boyfriend, like Ge Yuxin, exploded right in front of her eyes in the woods.

It was just a companion in the game, so she was not necessarily sad. It was just that the other person's ability was stronger than hers, and when he was alive, she had someone to rely on. Now that the other person was gone, and she was left alone, she finally realized that this kind of copy was not something that someone of her ability could pass.

The faceless teacher led them along the winding path and made several turns. After walking for about ten minutes, they stopped at a place in the garden.

The journey was not complicated, and Yang Yina had already memorized it, but she intuitively felt that even if something went wrong, it would not be so smooth to go back directly.

Moreover, this place is not a classroom or an activity room, but something like a greenhouse hidden in a corner of the garden.

She had already seen in the afternoon that there was a huge primeval forest hidden inside the campus, so she was not surprised to see a glass greenhouse hidden in a corner of the quiet garden.

She just didn't understand for a moment what after-school tutoring had to do with the glass greenhouse.

However, the faceless teacher simply opened the door, let the two in, and then disappeared into the night. Her pace was so fast that one would think that if she was a little slower, she would be caught up by something.

Yang Yina stood near the door of the greenhouse. She did not act on her own and carefully observed the surrounding environment. Xu Mengjie stood behind her.

It was so quiet around her that she could even hear her own heartbeat, which was very obvious in the darkness.

Suddenly, the light on the top of the greenhouse came on, reflecting the shadow of the glass greenhouse and a few abrupt tables and chairs under the light, which seemed to have books on them.

The glass greenhouse is very large, with tall broad-leaved trees of various shapes planted on both sides, and in the center is an arched passage built with flower vines. The desk is inside the passage, which seems out of place with the bright and colorful flowers around it.

At this moment, the door behind him was pushed open without any warning.

Xu Mengjie was startled and pushed Yang Yina forward, staggering a bit. Yang Yina looked at the number of tables and had an idea in her mind. Before she could stand firmly, she heard someone talking.

"What kind of a hell of a place is this? It can't be a good thing for us to come here so late at night."

A rough boy complained in a loud voice. After taking a quick look at the embarrassed girl, a malicious look appeared on his face. "Hey, wait a minute, if there is any danger, just push them out first. With their thin arms and legs, they should be able to hold on for a while, right?"

No one was willing to come here in the first place, and now there was no atmosphere for proper greetings. The other two boys didn't say anything, but they didn't comment on the previous remarks either.

Yang Yina was not interested in talking nonsense, but Xu Mengjie dared not say anything but was angry. She just followed Yang Yina obediently, like her shadow.

After everyone entered the glass room and the door was closed, the radio started.

[During the after-school tutoring time, no one is allowed to leave their chairs. Please find your own chair within 30 seconds.]

【30, 29, 28...】

The countdown came so suddenly that everyone didn't even have time to think about the deeper meaning of the broadcast. They hurriedly found the nearest seat and sat down.

Yang Yina's brows were still furrowed, especially after she heard the request on the radio. After all, the request not to leave the chair was a bit too simple.

The so-called after-school tutoring means that everyone studies quietly here for three hours?

Yang Yina didn’t think the system or the school was so kind, and she didn’t know if she was too sensitive. The moment she sat down, she felt that the chair was covered with a layer of mist and was very damp.

But when she reached out and touched the back of the chair, there was no mist on her hands.

There were several language, humanities and science textbooks on the desk, but there were no examination papers or test-related content, as if they were really arranged to study on their own.

To be on the safe side, Yang Yina flipped through all the books. After a few minutes, she confirmed that these were just ordinary textbooks and there was nothing mysterious about them.

Just like the chair, the desk always seemed to be covered with moisture. Even the textbooks felt very damp to the touch, but nothing could be seen with the naked eye.

"I didn't expect it was just a false alarm." The man who spoke before held it in for a long time and finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

He sat in the middle seat. Because he had a beer belly, the already narrow chair looked even more crowded. He stayed in the chair, dragged the stool back, and chatted with the people on his left and right.

"I thought this after-school tutoring was so exaggerated. Now it seems that it is just so-so. We are just too nervous."

The boy on his left, who was wearing glasses, wrinkled his nose in disapproval when he heard what he said, and replied very cautiously, "That's not necessarily the case. What if something happens later? After all, it takes three hours."

The boy wearing a hat who was a little further away had the same attitude as the guy with the beer belly, "The broadcast said not to leave your chair, and even if there's something else, it shouldn't be too difficult."

"Besides, aren't there five of us? If there's any problem later, we can still take care of each other. Don't you think so, beautiful lady?"

The man in the hat was leaning over the table and looking towards Yang Yina, but the person he called "beautiful" was actually Xu Mengjie.

Yang Yina actually has a very good bone structure, but because of her personality, her temperament is a bit cold. When others see her for the first time, they will think that this person is difficult to get along with.

But Xu Mengjie is different. She is short, with a slim figure, a standard oval face, and two dimples when she smiles. When she looks at people with grievance, her eyes are so pitiful that they seem to be able to speak, which easily arouses others' desire to protect her.

Especially since she had secretly cried in Yang Yina's dormitory before, the tip of her nose was still a little red, which made her look even more painful.

When one is well fed and warm, he will think about sex.

The man in the hat, after deciding that he was not in danger, started flirting.

Such means were not considered good enough by Xu Mengjie, but now was not the time for her to be picky. She had to find her next support and get out of here alive.

So she suppressed her nausea and responded to the other person, "Brother, you have a really good plan. Just now someone said they wanted to throw us out, but you didn't say anything. Now you want to take care of each other."

If someone else said this, it might be a real complaint, but Xu Mengjie seemed to be very good at this kind of teasing. She picked it up heavily but put it down lightly. Her demeanor was pretentious, but with an innocent resentment, and her expression was simply seductive.

The man in the hat and the guy with a beer belly who had just spoken both collapsed quickly.

Seeing that the topic was about himself, the latter licked his fat head and big ears and apologized to Xu Mengjie in a fake way, "Beautiful girl, are you taking it too seriously? I just said it casually, just joking..."

Yang Yina had no opinion on their communication, nor did she blame Xu Mengjie's behavior. Everyone has their own choices, and she is now paying more attention to her surroundings.

Because the sound of talking masked the surrounding environment, she could feel that there seemed to be something else hidden in the greenhouse. This had something to do with her sensitive senses, but because the noises were too subtle, she couldn't confirm it.

Ten minutes later, Xu Mengjie had heard the man bragging about his achievements in dungeons for the nth time. She yawned listlessly and rubbed her arms.

The temperature in the room seemed a little lower and the humidity in the air was higher.

The textbooks were already stained with a sticky moisture, and Yang Yina felt that her clothes were a little damp.

Suddenly, the leaves of the broad-leaved forest moved in the darkness, and something came out.

Because of the lighting, only the area where they were sitting was bright, so Yang Yina couldn't tell what it was for a moment.

Until Xu Mengjie beside him suddenly cried out without any warning, "Ouch, it hurts, something is biting...ah..."

She covered her arm, as if she was trying to pull something out, but she failed. Instead, the thin chair fell backwards.

Yang Yina was the closest to her, but the distance was not within her reach. And because the situation happened too suddenly, the prop rope she threw out brushed past the back of the other person's chair.

“Hmm…”

She fell so hard that she groaned. At the same time, she saw a chair that had fallen apart in the distance. She seemed to suddenly realize something, and her eyes widened with fear.

But she didn't even have time to think or take any action.

Yang Yina saw something behind the broad-leaved forest. It was a huge tentacle. After seeing that the prey was alone, she attacked without hesitation and Xu Mengjie was quickly dragged away.

There was not even any sound anymore, only the sounds of chewing and gnashing of teeth in the corner.

This sudden change was a bit too sudden. It took only ten seconds from the time Xu Mengjie got into trouble to the time she was dragged away. The greenhouse, which had originally been somewhat noisy, fell into complete silence.

After all, all the players present had already seen clearly that in addition to them, there was also a man-eating monster with purple tentacles in the greenhouse.

"Hey, that player, did you see clearly just now? What happened to that Xu something? Why did he suddenly fall off the chair?"

After chatting for such a long time, he couldn't even call out the person's name. The man with glasses immediately turned his gaze to Yang Yina, and his tone was not very polite.

"I don't know. I didn't see it clearly."

Yang Yina glanced at him indifferently and responded unhappily.

She didn't lie, she really didn't see it clearly. She only saw Xu Mengjie covering her arm, as if she was frightened.

But she knew that even if she said so, the other three people would not appreciate it and would still doubt her, so she had no intention of explaining.

The man with glasses was naturally dissatisfied with her answer, but he couldn't leave his chair now, so he didn't want to care about anything. He just sighed and glared at Yang Yina.

After sitting up straight, I suddenly felt a little pain in my arm. When I lowered my head, I saw a purple mark on my arm that had appeared on my arm at some point.

He reached out and touched it, only to find that it was not a mark, but was alive and moving.

The chair dragged on the ground, making a sharp and piercing sound. He quickly forced himself to calm down and reached out to knock on the thing.

It turned out to be a small purple suction cup that was just attached to his skin. After finally pulling it open a little, he caught a glimpse of the center of the suction cup, which was like a purple tongue, sinking into his skin, going deeper and deeper, and the pain became more and more obvious.

But the suction cup was obviously very powerful. He used all his strength and could only lift it a little bit. After he relaxed a little, the thing was firmly stuck to his skin again.

"Oh my god, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"

The man in the hat naturally noticed the noise made by the man with glasses. He quickly saw what the man was holding. "Oh my god, what the hell is that?"

As he shouted, he dragged his chair back, fearing that the stuff would get on him.

But as soon as his fingers touched the chair, he realized something was wrong, and when he raised his hand, sure enough, a purple suction cup had taken root.

Beer Belly and Yang Yina were not spared either.

Almost at the same time, Yang Yina felt something approaching. She remained alert and hardly touched anything except the necessary contact between her body and the chair.

But she still couldn't escape, because she saw the thing crawling up along the wet back of the chair. As she couldn't leave the chair, she had to stab it with a dagger, but the thing reacted much faster than she thought.

Then more suckers climbed up the chair.

Some of them had already pierced into the skin on the side of her neck, and the pain became more and more obvious. She reminded herself not to leave the chair while her mind was racing, trying to think of some way to solve these problems.

The props in the control panel were taken out one by one. The dagger severed the connection between the suction cup and the tongue, and the suction cup fell off quickly. However, the tongue that had pierced into the skin could not be pried out at all and was still drilling inside. Even a new suction cup grew on the head in the blood.

After a while, Yang Yina's arm was full of holes and pits dug by herself, but none of the things were removed.

On the other side, on the bed in Beixi's dormitory.

She embraced Nanhuan and seemed to have fallen asleep, but at a certain moment she suddenly opened her eyes.

The iron pick was swung casually on the ground and stabbed several times, as if it had pierced something.

The next second, the lights came on brightly.

From the bedroom window to the area around the bed, there were densely packed purple suction cups, moving towards the bed at a strange speed.

This kind of scene would seem to make people with trypophobia ecstatic, but it would be enough to make normal people feel sick.

Nan Huan's peace was disturbed by the sudden light. In a half-asleep state, he saw these things all over the floor. He thought he was still asleep, so he rubbed his eyes and finally woke up.

"Why does this thing look familiar?"

She yawned and looked at the suction cup that was getting closer and closer. She didn't show any particular fear or shock. Instead, she scratched her head, trying to find the source in her memory.

Bei Xi smoothed her frizzy hair and said at the right time, "In the illusion, those huge tentacle monsters that were hit by Chaka's arrow - the suction cups on the tentacles."

While talking, Bei Xi showed Nan Huan the skewers on the iron plate.

"Can it be killed?"

Nan Huan tried hard to drive away the image of barbecue skewers in his mind, and felt that he might not eat barbecue again in the near future.

"Well, this doesn't seem to work. I'll try something else."

As soon as he finished speaking, air arrows exploded in various places in the room. Bei Xi hugged Nan Huan and jumped to the top of the wardrobe, sitting down side by side with Nan Huan.

An explosion was heard in the dormitory, and flames burned a large area.

There was a smell of roasting protein in the air, and in the firelight there was the crackling sound of something hard and burning.

Nan Huan took a look and became more determined not to eat barbecue in the near future.

After the flames burned out, the purple tentacles shrank into black charcoal and their number decreased a lot, but at the same time, more suction cups poured in from outside the window.

Bei Xi took the time to use the communication channel to contact the people in the remaining three rooms, "Use fire, pay attention to safety, and do not leave the dormitory."

This thing isn't hard to kill, there's just a lot of them.

The task reminder has not sounded, and Bei Xi concluded that this is just a catalyst for the taboo rule.

The life teacher has repeatedly told players not to leave the dormitory, indicating that this is a fatal rule, but there must be something to trigger the possibility that players may leave the dormitory, so it is obvious that these suction cups in front of them are them.

And now that we have found the dead end of this thing, as long as we keep burning it and don't leave the dormitory, there will be no problem.

Of course, the premise is that you can't let these things get on your body, otherwise you don't know what will happen.

Soon there were slight noises coming from the neighboring dormitories, and the smell of roasting protein became stronger.

The surroundings were getting more and more humid. His beer belly had gone the same way as Xu Mengjie's a few minutes ago. It was so painful. He would rather be bitten by the monster and have a quick death than to stay here for three hours like this.

Yang Yina, the man in the hat and the man with glasses were still holding on, but the conditions of the three of them were not much better. The exposed skin on their bodies had almost been covered by the suction cups.

However, only an hour and a half had passed, and the pain was still intensifying, with more suction cups trying to climb onto their bodies.

Yang Yina was still conscious, but her movements were somewhat laborious.

After she dispelled a few suckers, she felt that the air seemed more humid.

Wet?

Suddenly, something flashed through her mind. She took out a lighter from the control panel with some effort, found some flammable objects, threw them at her feet, and quickly lit a fire.

Because of the sudden appearance of fire, the suction cups that originally wanted to approach him stopped for a moment, as if they were a little afraid of the fire.

Taking advantage of this gap, Yang Yina began to deal with the suction cups on her body. The flesh that had been gouged out was stabbed again by the blade. She began to spasm in pain, but her hands were very steady.

The only thing he could do was to remove the suction cup and use fire to burn the tongue that was stuck in his body.

A burning pain came from her arm, but the burned suction cup seemed to have no vitality and fell off from the surface of the skin. Yang Yina twisted the burnt part of her tongue and pulled it out hard, and the bloody tongue was pulled out.

Yang Yina curled up in pain, always on guard to get out of the chair, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

When the other two saw that this method worked, they followed suit. However, this operation looks very easy but it is actually very difficult to do.

First of all, you have to be ruthless to yourself. Those who are ruthless enough to draw their swords on themselves may not necessarily dare to get angry.

Those who have the courage to set themselves on fire may not necessarily be able to manage their time well.

So the man in the hat tried several times but failed to pull his tongue out, so he didn't know when the fire that was lit at his feet to prevent other suckers from getting close licked his thighs.

Feeling the burning sensation, he subconsciously jumped up from his chair.

The brain sent a warning, but it was too late. The tentacles were already waiting nearby, waiting for the prey to fall from the chair. After finally catching one, how could it let it go?

Screams came from one side, but Yang Yina and the man with glasses never turned their heads to look.

There were only two of them left. Two hours had passed and there was only one hour left. They just had to hold on.

Due to the limitations of the system, even though they could use medicine, it did not alleviate the current situation at all. Later, Yang Yina simply gave up the medicine and only focused on the suction cups on her body.

The man with glasses' hands were not as steady as Yang Yina's. Many of the wounds on his body could no longer be seen in their original form. There was only a pool of blood, which was dripping uncontrollably.

Such large-scale bleeding was very dangerous, but now neither the medicine nor the bandages were working. The unresolved suction cup brought him spasmodic pain. He could only race against time, hoping that he could hold on until three in the morning.

But this wish was shattered at 2:30 in the morning.

His body began to go into shock due to excessive blood loss, and his consciousness began to blur. It was not until the moment he slid off the chair to the ground that he woke up with his last breath, but it was too late.

Under the light, Yang Yina's eyelashes moved, but her hands did not stop moving.

There is only half an hour left, I will definitely be able to leave here.

The number of suction cups on her body had decreased, but the pain had not eased, and her face was extremely pale due to severe blood loss.

Her movements were getting slower and slower, and her strength was gradually running out.
