Chapter 4 Happy University (Part 4)
Feng Zhibei confirmed again and again that this was indeed the classroom he had just passed.
He turned around and went back to the starting point. The first classroom still had the sign A-102 hanging on it.
But the gate that had just been entered had disappeared at some point, leaving only a bare concrete wall.
"…Are you trapped in a ghost wall?"
Feng Zhibei touched his chin.
The corridor was dimly lit and filled with a damp and moldy smell that made him sniff.
The prelude to a haunted place.
Feng Zhibei thought.
The lights in the corridor suddenly flickered a few times.
Feng Zhibei tensed up and looked around.
There was no end in sight in the corridor, it was pitch black, and the doors of the surrounding classrooms were all closed, with nothing visible through the gray windows.
There was also confusion in the barrage.
【Is there such a plot here? 】
I don’t remember, right?
[Since the version was updated a few days ago, many copies have changed. I don’t know if this is part of the update.]
[But it looks like something high-energy is about to happen.]
Since there is no way back, we can only move forward.
A line of comments appeared on the live broadcast panel:
[The anchor wasn't even that frightened when he slapped the girl in the face just now, why is he so shocked? ]
"The unknown always makes people afraid, so it's normal for me to be afraid," he replied quietly, looking at the comments. "I'm also a human being, and everyone feels fear."
Only the sound of footsteps echoed in the deserted corridor.
According to the nature of horror games, this situation means that the player has arrived in another space and the danger is extremely high.
Feng Zhibei clicked on the copy information and found that there were only forty minutes left to complete the departure procedures.
"Time is fluid here, which is a bit difficult..."
He observed every classroom he passed by. There were only three signs, A-102, A-104 and A-106, circulating. Every few steps forward, the lights behind him would flicker a few times and then go out.
Suddenly, a subtle sound rang in my ears.
Feng Zhibei stopped suddenly.
Then he realized—
The shoulder strap of the backpack was broken.
The schoolbag slammed hard to the ground, making a dull thud like a heavy object falling to the ground.
A vague gaze was fixed on him.
Feng Zhibei shuddered all over. He quickly picked up the bag and looked around vigilantly.
There was still silence all around.
Tick-tock.
Suddenly there was a sound of dripping water, followed by a rustling sound.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering a special chase scene: Students studying on their own.]
There are many invisible students in the teaching building. They are imprisoned here forever. Your arrival seems to have disturbed them...
Limited Time Mission: The Rage of Seniors
Countdown: 5:00
Please try your best to avoid the wrath of your seniors and survive successfully! 】
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the classroom door suddenly opened, a gust of cold wind blew, and the temperature in the entire corridor dropped sharply.
There was a rustling sound of flipping pages, which became increasingly harsh until it evolved into a sharp noise.
Feng Zhibei broke out in a cold sweat. The entire space seemed to be distorted, as if something was rolling under the cement.
He grabbed his schoolbag and ran forward.
There were messy footsteps behind me, getting closer and closer.
"Who is running in the corridor...who is it..."
The voice seemed to be right next to Feng Zhibei's ear.
He turned his head to the side and saw a head with bulging eyes and bloodshot eyes staring at him.
The head was hanging in the air beside it, its messy black hair was covered with clotted blood, and the corners of its mouth were stretched to below its ears, revealing the white bones and red and yellow subcutaneous tissue.
“… Holy shit!!!”
What the hell is this!
Feng Zhibei swung his schoolbag towards the head in front of him and then ran forward.
He was so frightened that his soul took flight and he took steps purely on instinct.
The further they ran, the more heads poured out of the classrooms with open doors, and the darker and colder the whole space became.
Every head was scrambling to squeeze forward, opening its mouth wide to devour the young man running in front.
A layer of frost formed on Feng Zhibei's eyelashes. The constant running made him breathless and his heart was beating violently.
"Don't run, junior. Stay in school with us forever. Don't ever leave here..."
Sounds came from all directions, filling his ears with noise and making it difficult for his brain to think.
Suddenly, he felt a hot object against his cold cheek.
"I got you."
Feng Zhibei turned his head slightly towards the direction of the voice, and a pale face was close to his ear, licking his face with its tongue.
"What the hell! This is so disgusting! Ahhhhhhhh get out of here!!"
Feng Zhibei used all his strength to stab the fruit knife in his hand towards his head.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”
The head screamed shrilly and struggled hard, looking extremely painful.
[Ding! Congratulations! Your fruit knife has been upgraded to something somewhat useful!]
Although the rusty blade can't cut through the palm, it can unexpectedly hurt rule-based monsters! 】
After stabbing the head, the temperature around it seemed not so cold anymore.
Feng Zhibei drew out his knife and, ignoring the screaming heads behind him, took a difficult step forward.
【Countdown 1:03】
A warm light suddenly appeared in the corridor ahead, which should have been pitch black.
Feng Zhibei didn't have time to think too much and ran towards the light.
One step, two steps, three steps...
A room with an open door appeared in front of me, and warm light was shining outside.
He quickly entered the house and turned around to close the door tightly.
There was a loud banging and shouting outside the door.
【Countdown 0:01】
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the limited-time mission! Receive 500 points as a reward!]
Feng Zhibei slid down along the door and sat on the ground, panting.
-
Chen Jieying squinted and looked at the door of the teaching building. Five minutes passed, and Feng Zhibei still didn't come out.
He looked at the increasingly gloomy sky and made a decision:
"The next person goes in first, no more waiting."
The new players looked at each other, no one dared to move forward, while the players with more experience hid behind.
Tang Shui's face darkened.
"Don't even think about surviving until the end at this point. The further you go, the easier it will be to control."
There were dissatisfied voices in the crowd: "But the red-haired guy in front hasn't come out yet?"
Chen Jieying shook his head and clapped his hands, drawing attention to him.
"We all have the same goal, which is to get out alive. Any time wasted by anyone now is everyone's life."
He turned his head to look at the air-conditioned teaching building.
"Xiao Tang and I could have completed our mission and left, but for the future of everyone, someone has to make sacrifices."
Tang Shui said coldly: "My ability is to predict the past, so I must be the last one to go in, so that I can see the past and help everyone avoid future risks."
"This game is a real test of teamwork. You can't survive alone. I hope everyone can realize this."
[Oh my god, this kind of prediction is rare in the past!]
[When did the future attract someone who predicts the past? He made a fortune in silence!]
She's just relying on the fact that she's in the future and can't die. If another guild were to self-destruct like this, they'd be assassinated immediately.
In the silence, a young man with a baby face and a bowl-cut haircut raised his hand cautiously.
"I...I want to go in next."
Someone sneered, "You're so eager to be taken advantage of. Do you really think we're all complete novices?"
"If you have any opinions, you can come and lead the team, but do you dare? If you don't dare, then don't talk nonsense here!"
Tang Shui threw the thing in his hand out with a whoosh, which hit the face of the person who had just spoken, and then embedded into the dead tree behind him.
The man broke out in a cold sweat and looked back, only to find that it was just a leaf. When he touched his face, he saw beads of blood flowing from the place where he was touched.
He Yutong swallowed his saliva and walked into the teaching building with his head held high.
He was not a complete newcomer. This was his second dungeon. The first dungeon was a puzzle dungeon. He had to rely on the help of the team's golden thigh to pass it and survived by chance.
He has a thick bowl-cut haircut and an overly childish face that makes him look like a shy middle school student.
Like all ordinary anchors, He Yutong was assigned to the auxiliary category - the largest and most versatile type.
But it doesn't matter. Popular doesn't mean bad. This category has the lowest mortality rate and plenty of options for advancement. As long as you work hard to increase your star rating, your chances of survival are infinite.
He Yutong walked cautiously until he reached the fourth door in front of him.
It says Secretary's Office.
A faint warm light shone through the crack in the door.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door, and asked quietly, "Is anyone there?"
Silence.
He Yutong pressed his body against the door, listening carefully to the sounds coming from inside.
A confused voice came from inside the door: "...What is scene fusion?"
He Yutong couldn't help but repeat himself: "Scene fusion...?"
There was silence inside the door for a few seconds.
“Squeak—”
The heavy wooden door suddenly opened with a sharp and piercing sound, and He Yutong leaned forward uncontrollably.
“Oh my god… mmm!”
Someone covered his mouth from behind.
"Shh, don't talk."
He Yutong looked back in horror and saw a head of red hair right in front of him.
He realized later that this seemed to be the anchor who had just gone in and never came out.
Feng Zhibei looked a little annoyed. He shoved a crumpled red paper at the boy in front of him and said, "Hurry up, hurry up. It's time to leave school and find a pen to write on."
He Yutong listened to the prompt sound of the task completed and walked out the door in a daze with the red paper in his pocket.
He didn't notice that the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room began to flood the screen.
[Fuck, did I hear that right? The scenes are merging! !]
[Who is this opponent? A scene fusion appeared in a two-star dungeon? ? ]
[Who knows? I haven't seen a scene fusion in eight hundred years.]
Until He Yutong returned to the outside of the teaching building.
As the next person continued to enter, he suddenly remembered something, walked up to Tang Shui, and whispered to her:
"I just saw that red-haired guy. The procedures for leaving school are..."
He paused for a moment, then continued hesitantly.
"He handled the school leaving procedures for me. He... I want to ask, what is scene fusion?"
Tang Shui's expression changed instantly.
With a gloomy face, she said in a deep voice, "You said that person just refreshed and reached the scene fusion?"
“Yes, yes!”
He Yutong shrank back, somewhat afraid of the woman in front of him.
Tang Shui stared at him for a while, and one of his eyes suddenly turned completely black.
“?!”
He Yutong was frightened and shuddered, subconsciously trying to escape, but his whole body was stiff and he couldn't move a step.
A sense of fear that his soul had been seen through burst out, almost causing him to collapse.
Tang Shui's eyes trembled slightly, as if he was looking at something.
She suddenly shuddered all over, and bright red blood flowed from her completely black eye.
"Commentary type... No wonder I can get scene fusion in a two-star dungeon."
She covered her eyes and waved to Chen Jieying.
"That guy is a commentator, a complete newbie. Don't recruit him. He won't survive until the next dungeon."
When the audience in the live broadcast room of the three people heard this, there was an uproar.
【Commentary? ?】
[Didn't they say that this category was removed from the Wilds a long time ago? ? ]
【???】
Chen Jieying also restrained his smile and looked serious.
"So...um, what is the commentary category, and what exactly is scene fusion...?"
He Yutong spoke cautiously.
Chen Jieying: "Commentary is a category for dungeons. You probably haven't seen one before. After all, the last commentary appeared three years ago."
“What a pity…”
Tang Shui felt a little exhausted, and leaned on his shoulder to recover a little: "I didn't expect that the scene fusion that the guild has been looking for would be so easy for this red-haired guy to encounter."
[So what exactly is scene fusion? Does anyone understand? ]
[To put it simply, the main plot and the hidden plot are merged together, but the triggering conditions are very strict]
[I think only prophecy and some psychic healing types can trigger it, and they need to be in a three-star or higher dungeon. There are too few commentators, so I haven't seen any...]
[After the version update, all star-level copies can be triggered, the probability is a problem]
[Such a wonderful thing actually happened to a commentator. What a waste!]
That's a scene fusion! It's definitely dangerous, but it's worth seeing! And there's a lot of good stuff in there!
Five minutes ago.
Feng Zhibei listened to the prompt sound ringing in his ears and gasped.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering scene fusion!
Please ensure that the number of people around you is ≤1 within 60 seconds. If someone interrupts the fusion process, the countdown will be restarted.
A new scene will be opened after 60 seconds of countdown!
Special note: The main storyline time will not flow when the scene merges, please explore with peace of mind! 】
