Chapter 6 Happy University (VI)
The dormitory of that "Feng Zhibei" is upstairs.
The higher they went, the more obvious the cold feeling became. Even when Feng Zhibei walked out of the stairs, the light above his head flickered twice and then went out.
"It doesn't feel good..."
The corridor had become empty at some point, as if the college students I had seen before were all phantoms.
Feng Zhibei sniffed. There was a strange smell in the air, which smelled like some kind of flower.
He stood in front of the dormitory door, looked up, and unexpectedly found that this was the same dormitory where he woke up in the copy.
Is it a coincidence or... ?
Feng Zhibei stood at the door for a while, preparing himself mentally and praying in his heart that he would not encounter any non-human creatures.
He knocked on the door with courage.
"Oh, who's it?"
The door slowly opened.
The person in front of him had a delicate face exactly like his, with long black hair tucked behind her ears, revealing two upturned eyes.
"Who are you……?"
The NPC winked at him.
Feng Zhibei: "..."
Feng Zhibei tried hard to calm himself down.
He held the paper in his hand expressionlessly, trying his best to hide his gaffe.
It is a very terrifying thing to face someone who looks exactly like you. When he was living abroad for a short time, he even heard a rumor that if you meet someone who looks like you, you will die.
Fortunately, he is dead, so this rumor has no effect on him.
Feng Zhibei calmed down and spoke in a deep voice.
"Feng Zhibei and Liu Hongtao, they haven't come to class for a long time, what's going on?"
Contrary to his own behavior, the NPC "Feng Zhibei" seemed unaware that the two looked exactly alike.
He thought for a while, opened his mouth and was about to speak when a low and hoarse voice came from behind him.
"Xiaozhi won't take the exam. Please cross out his name, teacher."
A man walked out of the dormitory.
He looked to be in his twenties, with slightly curly black hair tied into a small bun at the back of his head, a pair of black-framed glasses on his straight nose, and a small fork in his mouth. He exuded a lazy air.
"Brother, I haven't spoken yet!"
"Feng Zhibei" smiled and lightly hit the man.
The man's pale eyes swept in Feng Zhibei's direction.
Feng Zhibei's hair stood on end, and every cell in his body was instinctively screaming danger. He wanted to escape, but his body was completely unable to move.
The man was holding a fruit knife with half a strawberry stuck in it.
A light red juice flowed down the handle of the knife.
He smiled, naturally put his arms around "Feng Zhibei's" waist, and put the strawberry into his mouth.
"Teacher... maybe you should go to the lake?"
While wiping "Feng Zhibei's" mouth with his fingertips, he looked at Feng Zhibei meaningfully.
"Yes, Liu Hongtao said in the afternoon that he was going to the lake to date his girlfriend."
"Feng Zhibei" said incoherently while chewing a strawberry.
The man's smile deepened.
"Teacher, is there anything else? If not, shall we continue?"
He tightened his grip on "Feng Zhibei", and the dark-haired beauty in his arms let out a muffled groan.
Feng Zhibei responded hurriedly, said "sorry to bother you" and left quickly.
A vague voice of "Feng Zhibei" came from behind: "If there is anything else, teacher, come find me again--"
He hurried up the stairs, not breathing a sigh of relief until he was out of the dormitory. The warm sunset shone on his body, gradually dispelling the chill.
The street lights were on, and the university campus was still full of students. The noise and various sounds reached Feng Zhibei's ears, as if he was returning to the noisy world.
After a long pause, he clicked on the copy information.
The total exploration degree of the dungeon has become 40%.
Feng Zhibei pinched his palm and calmed down before he began to sort out what had just happened.
The NPC in this dungeon lives with a very dangerous man, and it seems that they have an unusual relationship.
He recalled the man's aggressive look and shuddered.
The black-haired "Feng Zhibei" is very different from himself.
He is approachable to others, has no defensiveness towards strangers, and doesn't put on a false smile.
It’s like a perfect self in a...parallel world.
Feng Zhibei was reviewing the conversation between the three of them bit by bit, and suddenly stopped.
Why does the name Liu Hongtao sound so familiar?
He thought for half a minute before remembering that his roommate on the upper bunk was called this.
"A parallel world... or..."
Feng Zhibei remembered the fruit knife in the man's hand.
"Or is this a certain point in the past..."
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for unlocking the hidden plot!
In the past, there was a rumor about the central artificial lake in the university...
Given the special nature of the anchor's profession, please do your best to explore the hidden plot! 】
"It really is a time in the past. That makes sense."
For example, the brand new teaching buildings and dormitories, and the younger version of the old man in the corridor.
Feng Zhibei frowned and thought.
The red of the sunset glow was swallowed up by the darkness, the temperature dropped sharply, and it was about to get dark.
We have to speed up the process - Feng Zhibei always has a premonition that something bad will happen after dark.
Relying on the map in his memory, he walked towards the center of the school.
The entire school is not very large. In the evening, there should be many students, but the closer you get to the center, the fewer people there are.
Even the chirping of insects faded, and all around was silent, as if one had entered another dimension.
Walking along the narrow gravel road, the slightly moist air hits you in the face.
Feng Zhibei lifted up the branches that were bent due to being too high and saw the entire artificial lake.
It was a pool of deep blue water. On the shimmering water were floating a few dry leaves and some thin, unknown things.
The air here is too humid, making it difficult to breathe.
Feng Zhibei opened his mouth and gasped as he walked towards the lake.
There was a forest all around, and the twisted tree trunks looked a little scary in the dim environment. It seemed that there were birds flying through the woods, making slight sounds.
When he reached the lake, Feng Zhibei discovered that the long object floating on the lake was some kind of slender bone.
The bones had turned green and were covered with flying insects.
Feng Zhibei leaned towards the bones and was suddenly startled by the face reflected in the water.
No wonder that "Feng Zhibei" was not surprised at all when he saw him. His face was surrounded by a cloud of mist and his facial features could not be seen clearly.
"Teacher! Why are you here?!"
There was a rustling sound in the woods, and then a young man and woman came out arm in arm.
Feng Zhibei looked at the slightly flustered couple in front of him. They should be Liu Hongtao and his girlfriend.
"Liu Hongtao? Why are you absent from class?"
"Oh! Well, hehe..." Liu Hongtao laughed dryly twice.
"Xiaomei and I came to the lake to worship. You must have heard of the legend of our school's artificial lake."
He rubbed his hands and continued.
"My grades are already bad, and I don't want to continue taking exams. It's just that my parents keep pushing me to take them... Teacher, you know my situation. I'm not cut out for studying."
Xiaomei next to her nodded, but was obviously absent-minded.
"Yes, teacher... Hong Tao has been under a lot of pressure. We came to the lake tonight to relax and also to see if the rumor is true."
Xiaomei is very beautiful, the type of girl next door, which is in stark contrast to Liu Hongtao's alien-like appearance.
Feng Zhibei sighed in his heart: Beautiful women helping the poor.
His expression changed and he raised his eyebrows. "I really don't know what legends there are about the artificial lake. I'm free today, so tell me about it."
He looked at the two people holding hands and asked: "I didn't disturb you, did I?"
Xiaomei gritted her teeth and said, "Without teacher, we won't do anything else."
The greatest privilege of being a teacher is that you can exploit students openly.
Feng Zhibei expressed great pleasure about this.
While chatting, he used his peripheral vision to pay attention to any movement around him.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the color of the lake had become darker.
"I heard it from other people before," Liu Hongtao pointed to the center of the lake. "It is said that the school built this artificial lake for worshiping gods. There is a god living under the lake."
"Make a wish facing the lake, and there's a chance your wish will come true."
Feng Zhibei followed his hand and looked towards the center of the lake. The color there was much darker than the rest of the lake.
"I made a wish to be with Xiaomei forever, I wonder if it will come true."
Li Fuzhuang's voice was full of longing.
Feng Zhibei noticed that Xiaomei looked a little stiff.
"What about you? What did you wish for?"
He turned his head and asked the girl beside him seemingly unintentionally.
"I, of course I have the same wish."
Xiaomei's eyes were wandering.
The author has something to say:
1.31: Modify some of the connection plots
First, build up some armor for yourself. The soul in the slice is not the attacker, not the attacker! The slice is just a container that imprisons the attacker's memory, so why do you do this in front of the attacker's face? Because the game wants to disgust the attacker, how insidious!
