Chapter 46

"Where is this?" Lu Shun looked at the school which looked exactly like No. 1 Middle School.

Lan Sicheng also looked around, "No. 2 Middle School?"

"After leaving No. 1 Middle School, we're heading to No. 2 Middle School, the school where the school song competition is held?" Yuan Jing knew more than they did. She looked around in surprise. "Is our game not over yet?!"

Bei Chuanchuan looked at Yuan Jing, "Do you know what it is?"

"I've told you before about the horror story of the sparrows in No. 2 Middle School!" Yuan Jing said.

Bei Chuanchuan was silent for a moment. She hadn't paid much attention to the sparrow story about No. 2 Middle School that Yuan Jing had told her. They died too quickly and had no time to pay attention to such supernatural legends. In the end, they were just looking for ways to become immortal. Now that Yuan Jing had told her about it, she remembered it.

With a creak, the door opened in front of them, as if asking them to go in quickly.

Shen Yunzhe and Li Yuluan went in first, Yuan Jing followed behind them, and Lu Shun and the others had no choice but to follow in.

There is some difference between the school gate and No. 1 Middle School. The difference is that there are two withered flower baskets placed at the gate. The flowers and plants in the baskets have rotted, and a faded banner is hung above the flower baskets.

The 7th Qingcheng Senior High School Song Competition

A worn red carpet stretched from the school gate to the entrance of the teaching building. They walked on the red carpet, looking around.

At this moment, there was a ding-dong sound, and everyone around was startled, and almost jumped up. Shen Yunzhe slowly took out his mobile phone in front and turned off the alarm he set very naturally.

"What are you doing!" Lu Shun yelled, "You're so scary!"

Shen Yunzhe glanced at him, his black eyes were emotionless, looking cold and distant.

When he laughed, everyone present thought he was weird and scary. But when he stopped laughing, the weirdness doubled. His sharp expression that treated everyone present as trash was exposed. Anyone with a little self-respect would be broken by his eyes.

Lu Shun is one of them. He may not be that powerful, but he is full of self-esteem and inferiority complex.

"What do you mean?!" As expected, he wanted to rush forward while yelling, but was held down by Li Yuluan and Bei Chuanchuan.

Shen Yunzhe turned off his phone, looked extremely lazy, and even yawned.

This completely indifferent attitude made Lu Shun even angrier.

"Shut up! No matter how mad you are, Shen Yunzhe saved your life!" Bei Chuanchuan couldn't stand people like him, and his tone was very sharp. "You don't know why Shen Yunzhe set the alarm. Then I tell you, the alarm time is the time you will die. He is making sure you are still alive after the time limit!"

Lu Shun was stunned for a moment.

He hurriedly raised his wrist to check the time, and found that his death event had passed. Lan Sicheng also hurriedly touched her mobile phone, and after confirming that her death event had also passed, she began to cry with joy.

Li Yuluan and Bei Chuanchuan let go of Lu Shun, and Bei Chuanchuan almost spit at him.

"What should we do now?" Bei Chuanchuan raised his voice so that everyone could hear. "Should we participate in that school song competition? I can't sing. I've been tone-deaf since I was a child."

Yuan Jing also shook her head, "I can't sing either."

"It's not necessarily about participating in this school song competition, but what we'll encounter in this place." Li Yiluan came out and said, "Shen Yunzhe? What are you looking at?"

Shen Yunzhe had been looking in one direction since a while ago. He didn't move, as if his attention was attracted by something.

Hearing Li Yulun's question, Shen Yunzhe turned around and smiled, like a child seeing a favorite toy. He pointed forward and said, "Sparrow."

"sparrow?!"

Everyone was frightened and looked over there hurriedly.

When they looked over, they found that there was a huge tree as tall as a building standing abruptly in the middle of the playground. There were densely packed sparrows standing on the tree. They could not tell whether these sparrows were dead or alive because they just stood there motionless.

Wherever Shen Yunzhe was going, he heard a loud noise as he took a step.

Countless sparrows fell down in unison, hitting the ground with a crackling sound. Soon the entire playground was filled with sparrow corpses.

The dead sparrows piled up into a brown and black mass, surrounding the entire playground.

No one dared to breathe, and finally Lan Sicheng spoke up, "So, what should we do now?"

No one spoke because they didn't know. Finally, they all looked at Shen Yunzhe.

Shen Yunzhe was a newcomer and was even excluded by them at the beginning, but gradually he became their backbone, especially after Bi Jiayin's death.

Although he is a newcomer, he is very perceptive and can always find something wrong. He is abnormal, but this abnormality is just right in the game field.

So they had to start relying on Shen Yunzhe's abnormality.

Only Li Yuluan noticed a little bit of the truth, for example, Shen Yunzhe was too familiar with the game field, and the occasional words he said were full of familiarity. He might not be a newcomer, but an old player of the game field like them, but was pretending to be a newcomer for some reason.

"Look for it," Shen Yunzhe said. "Look for it everywhere, for legends about sparrows."

"Can you leave after finding us?!" Lu Shun started yelling again.

Shen Yunzhe smiled and said, "Be careful."

Everyone present was stunned, because Shen Yunzhe's words "be careful" made their hair stand on end.

Yuan Jing asked, "What does this mean?"

"In the previous place, we could start over after we died, but it's different here. Once we die, we're dead forever, with no chance to start over again." Shen Yunzhe said with a smile, "Eternal sleep, never opening your eyes again. Do you like it?"

"I'm actually looking forward to it." Shen Yunzhe closed his eyes, "I can sleep forever."

Everyone rubbed the goose bumps on their arms and quickly went their separate ways, tacitly avoiding the playground.

Shen Yunzhe was the only one left there. Li Yuluan asked him a question, but stopped asking when he didn't get an answer. In his opinion, Shen Yunzhe was capable and wouldn't die so easily. The fact that he could hold on to the end in the last game was a testament to his ability.

Everyone had left, and Shen Yunzhe walked alone to the side of the playground and looked at the dead sparrows scattered all over the ground.

He reached out and picked up a sparrow. The sparrow had its eyes open and its mouth open. Its body was so light that it looked like just a piece of skin. Shen Yunzhe shook his fingers and threw the body down again.

"So many, so many." Shen Yunzhe shouted towards the playground, "So many, so many people."

Fortunately, there is no one here, if there were any players, they would probably be scared to death.

But there are no people, there are audiences.

[He was calling for help over the sparrow's corpse?]

[His mental state is truly worrying, even more eerie than a ghost. How did he do it?]

Most people would have run away when they saw a sparrow carcass of this size, but he came over and picked one up to look at it closely.

[Hasn't he really been controlled by Sparrow? ]

"You say that... but that's not right. They just arrived at No. 2 Middle School, and he was like this at No. 1 Middle School. That shouldn't be the problem."

Shen Yunzhe was still shouting, "What are you doing sitting here? Don't you think it's crowded?"

"Want to come and chat with me? I'm so bored. Every day is so long. I don't think the world is beautiful at all. I want to die."

[Who is he talking to?]

"With you guys." Shen Yunzhe suddenly spoke up. He reached out and took out his phone to look at the comments, a smile on his face. "Oh, I think I saw something interesting."

【？ 】

What is he talking about?

"Hasn't he really been controlled by Sparrow?" Shen Yunzhe repeated what the audience had just said. "They just arrived at No. 2 Middle School, so this shouldn't be a problem."

Shen Yunzhe laughed happily, "Wow, are you guys so naive? Can such a small trick trick you out?"

【…6.】

[He did it on purpose?!]

"I've said it before, everything in the playground can be used, and you are the best props. Although you don't look like human, you know a lot of damn things. There's nothing I can do, I have to make you tell the truth." Shen Yunzhe said something very reasonable but very worrying.

"Reincarnation does not occur in No. 2 Middle School, but there will be a phenomenon of sparrows replacing people. Thank you for telling me."

Shen Yunzhe didn't care how the audience cursed him. He happily turned off his phone and put it in his pocket, then happily skipped towards the teaching building, humming the school song as he walked, looking very happy.

All the schools are pretty much the same. Shen Yunzhe walked in humming a song. There really wasn't much difference except that there wasn't that weird birdcage in the middle.

It really doesn't take too long to climb from the first floor to the rooftop. Shen Yunzhe stood on the rooftop and looked out. He couldn't see anything outside the school, but he could see other players busy looking for things. Shen Yunzhe waved towards the distance, but got no response.

"Tsk." Shen Yunzhe muttered and retracted his hand, "Ignore me."

Fortunately, he came up to find the location of other people. He wanted to find Li Yuluan. He couldn't let Li Yuluan die. This guy hadn't given him the prescription for insomnia yet.

Coming down from the rooftop, Shen Yunzhe walked back with his hands in his pockets. He had just seen Li Yuluan standing in front of the library door.

The library was locked, so Li Yuluan pried open the lock before going in. There were many books in the library, so maybe he could find one or two left behind by students.

Lu Shun followed him, "Really? There's nothing in the high school library besides books, right?"

"Students don't do anything else except study."

Li Yiluan turned around and glanced at him, "If you don't want to come in, get out."

Lu Shun's face turned ugly in an instant.

He followed Li Yuluan because he couldn't find anyone to go with. The three girls acted together, and Shen Yunzhe was left there alone. He had no choice but to follow Li Yuluan because he couldn't find anyone else. Otherwise, he wouldn't go with someone so difficult to get along with. It would be a matter of time before he was betrayed.

He didn't dare say what he thought in his heart, so Lu Shun followed Li Yuluan into the library obediently.

They began to look for possible clues. Lu Shun was rummaging through the bookshelf, and Li Yiluan was looking in the drawer of the desk. Finally, he found a crumpled piece of white paper, which looked like students passing notes.

"Is the school song competition today? I see banners hanging outside."

"That's great! I wanted to go see it, but unfortunately, the schedule in my senior year is so tight that we're all forced to study in the library, so we can't go see the show."

"Have you heard? A lot of sparrows died on the playground. They came from nowhere. They died today."

"No way, today is the school song competition, why did he die?"

"Who knows? Some people say that someone spread poisonous millet, and the sparrows came down to eat it, and all of them were poisoned to death."

"Speaking of sparrows, do you know Xu Mengya from Class 3? I heard she had a nightmare where she turned into a sparrow and was torn apart from the inside out. Her screams woke up the whole dormitory building in the middle of the night."

"I know. I was scared to death that day. She seemed to be a little dazed since that day. By the way, was she representing our school in the competition?"

"I guess she's been replaced. With so many sparrows dead, she must be scared to death."

"I'm experiencing mental problems from the pressure of exams. This happens a lot. It's so pitiful. We're pitiful too. We have to study in the library at times like this."

Dreaming that you turned into a sparrow and were torn apart from your body?

Li Yuluan subconsciously judged that this was very important.

Just then, Li Yiluan heard someone calling his name.

"Li Yiluan."

The voice was familiar, it was Shen Yunzhe.

Li Yiluan did not respond immediately. He still remembered that Bei Chuanchuan was killed when she turned around after hearing someone calling her name. Shen Yunzhe did not care. He walked in from the door of the library with his hands in his pockets, looking very energetic.

It's a human.

Li Yuluan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is there something?" Li Yiluan walked over with the note, "Or did you discover something?"

"Give me the prescription for insomnia and I will tell you." Shen Yunzhe also started bargaining.

Li Yiluan looked at him helplessly. He pulled out a piece of white paper from the side and wrote down a few names of medicinal herbs on it. As he wrote, he said, "Forensic pathologists also studied medicine in the beginning. You have much more connections than me. You shouldn't trust me with treating insomnia."

"Don't miss it." Shen Yunzhe took the list, folded it, and put it in his pocket. "I got some information from the audience."

Li Yiluan was silent for a long time before he spoke, "I didn't hear clearly, what did you say just now?"

"I got some information from the audience!" Shen Yunzhe repeated happily.

Li Yilun: ...

He slowly took out his cell phone from his pocket, and as soon as he turned on the live broadcast, he saw the audience cursing. The entire live broadcast was filled with resentment towards Shen Yunzhe.

"Isn't this...the difficulty of this game off the charts?" Li Yiluan asked him.

"I don't know, I don't care!" Shen Yunzhe replied.

So Li Yiluan took out the mobile phone from his pocket and turned on the live broadcast, and then he saw the difficulty of his game.

[Player Shen Yunzhe, game difficulty: 8.8]

"So high?" Li Yuluan was surprised.

"So low?" Shen Yunzhe was also surprised.

They looked at each other.

Li Yuluan turned off the screen of his mobile phone and put it back into Shen Yunzhe's pocket.

"What news did you lie about?"

Before Shen Yunzhe could answer as if to take credit, there was a bang next to him, and the bookshelves from the back fell down like dominoes, and the books fell all over the floor.

Only then did Li Yiluan remember that there was another Lu Shun in this library.

When they walked to the back, they saw Lu Shun squatting on the ground, looking very strange.

"Lu Shun?" Li Yiluan called him.

Lu Shun raised his head, and the moment they looked at each other, Li Yuluan realized something was wrong. It was clearly Lu Shun's appearance, but he felt uncomfortable, as if he shouldn't look like that.

"His cheeks are bigger than before, his mouth is smaller, and his ears seem to be degenerating." Shen Yunzhe analyzed.

Li Yuluan looked at him in surprise.

"Hey, don't take the forensic doctor lightly." Shen Yunzhe said, "In short, he seems to have degenerated compared to before."

Li Yiluan squatted down and looked at Lu Shun who was sitting on the ground. He tried to get closer.

"Lushun?" he continued to shout.

When he entered within two meters, Lu Shun suddenly seemed to react. He started flopping on the ground, trying to get into the hole in a panic, but he was too big and couldn't get in. Finally, he looked at Li Yuluan in horror, opened his mouth slightly, and let out a cry.

"Chiu."

"Chiu?" Li Yiluan was stunned.

It was also at that moment that Li Yiluan suddenly realized that Lu Shun's current appearance did not look much like him, but very much like a sparrow.

"Looks like I don't need to tell you." Shen Yunzhe said behind him, "This is the news I tricked out of the audience."

"In No. 2 Middle School, we will be controlled by the sparrows."

Li Yuluan looked back at Shen Yunzhe and found that there was no surprise or terror in Shen Yunzhe's eyes. He couldn't help but start to wonder if Shen Yunzhe had guessed this a long time ago and was lying to the audience just to make sure.

Thinking of this, Li Yuluo remembered something.

There’s a strange bird that looks like a human in the birdcage of No. 1 Middle School... Shen Yunzhe calls it Teacher Wang.

That bird is a human.
