Ox Sacrifice 11
On the other side, Meng Yueyue closed her eyes in time. She was closer to Nanyu, Fang Yu and others, and her view was blocked by them.
Fang Yu was also frightened at this time, but he closed his eyes in time. However, his constantly shaking body betrayed his inner unrest. The bodies of those people lying in the sacrificial array kept flashing before his eyes. He couldn't see their appearance clearly, but blood was spreading.
Sweat kept coming out of his forehead, but he didn't dare wipe it off. He could even clearly smell the sticky, pungent smell of corruption in the environment, and the ubiquitous smell of blood.
Li Heng just reacted at this moment, his heart beating non-stop because of this.
Yan Ke said, "Let's leave here first. Don't look them in the eye. Let's go back first."
Li Heng finally reacted, stood up, pretended nothing had happened, and walked towards the office area.
Nan Yu said at this time: "Just don't look at them, or even squint your eyes, but don't pull them so hard."
Fang Yu subconsciously let go of his hand. It turned out that he had grabbed Nan Yu's arm out of fear.
Seventeen people died within one day, leaving only five people: Fang Yu, Meng Yueyue, Nan Yu, Yan Ke and Li Heng.
Even Yan Ke couldn't figure out what the rules were here?
The four people in the office fell silent because of what had just happened. Only Nan Yu poured himself a glass of water, as if he was not upset at all.
Meng Yueyue and Fang Yu were both scared to tears. The feeling of escaping death made them feel that living was not easy.
"They kill people without any pattern." Li Heng said in a trembling voice. As the fear spread, he became a little emotional.
Yan Ke couldn't make any big movements at this time because of his wound. He looked at Nan Yu. Nan Yu was very smart and good at observing details.
Nan Yu looked up at Yan Ke and put the cup down: "Are you all scared?"
Everyone looked at him.
Then Nanyu leaned back in his chair, folding his arms across his chest: "I'm scared too. I'll go ask for leave. What about you?"
"Ask for leave?" Li Heng and others looked at Nan Yu in confusion.
Nan Yu said: "So many of us died unexpectedly, I was traumatized, and I still have to complete my advisor's thesis, and there are more than just a few teachers in this school."
Yan Ke nodded.
"Will that break the rules?"
Nanyu said casually: "Rules, what are the rules here? It can't kill anyone it wants. I'm afraid that asking for leave has not violated the heavenly rules."
"That makes sense." Yan Ke nodded.
Everyone looked puzzled: "Will there be any problem?" Meng Yueyue asked in a low voice.
"Are you going to kill me just because I asked for leave? Those people didn't ask for leave either, and they died within three days of arriving. I haven't even said I'd quit my job as a life teacher." Nan Yu's tone made everyone feel that it made sense.
Yan Ke asked at this time: "Do you want to ask the principal for leave?"
"You can also go find the dean of studies." Nan Yu thought of the fat dean of studies, Yuan Kuan.
Yan Ke thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go over there."
It was already afternoon, and because of the cruel sacrificial death incident, Fang Yu and Meng Yueyue did not go to class. If we talk about people with tight schedules, they may be the only two alive who are in this situation.
They do worry about whether they will be punished to death by the rules.
Yuan Kuan lived up to his name. Yan Ke's first impression of him was that this man was indeed too fat and walked like a ball.
Yan Ke asked politely: "Hello, are you Director Yuan?"
Yuan Kuan was sitting in a chair that was a little too small for him, and he looked up at the person who came.
"Who are you?"
Before Yan Ke could say anything, Nan Yu stepped forward and said, "We would like to ask for leave."
Yuan Kuan looked at Nan Yu, thought for a long time and said, "Who are you?"
"We have met before. I am the new life teacher, Director Yuan. We have only been here for a short time and so many people have died."
Yuan Kuan was choked by Nan Yu's straightforward words: "So, you have to ask for leave."
"When we came, your school just said we were life teachers, and didn't say we were going to die!!"
The skin on Yuan Kuan's face kept trembling, as if he was thinking of an excuse to shirk responsibility, but he couldn't find one.
He took out his cell phone and said, "Let me ask the principal."
Yan Ke nodded: "Sure, thank you for your help, Director Yuan."
After receiving the leave application, everyone left the teaching office.
Fang Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It's okay, that's great."
"Let's hurry up and leave. We still have a mission to complete. Let's go check it out tomorrow." Yan Ke said.
Meng Yueyue asked: "This is our only mission, what else do we have?"
"We also have another identity, that is, doctoral students or graduate students. The purpose of coming here as life teachers is to write a paper on [student sacrifice]." Li Heng said: "What are your names? This is Mo Fan, Nan Yu, and I'm Lin Yi." [Li Heng's pseudonym]
Meng Yueyue quickly said, "My name is Meng Yueyue, I'm 19 years old, a freshman, and his name is Fang Yu."
Fang Yu said with tears streaming down his face: "I... knew that I would meet some great people in this dungeon... No, Big Brother Mo Fan and Little Brother Nan Yu. I... I am so lucky."
Nan Yu looked at the sky outside the window and said, "Time is running out, let's just leave here."
"Let's go." Yan Ke said, glancing at Nan Yu out of the corner of his eye. A ray of sunlight fell on his face, and a strange feeling spread in his heart and penetrated deep into his bones.
[Elite School] It stood there behind everyone at this moment, but there was always a dark cloud blocking the sunlight, making this middle school depressing and terrifying. In two days, Yan Ke had no time to find any clues here, and the people who came with them died miserably in just two days.
Even Yan Ke himself almost died here due to negligence. Sometimes the truth is hard to discover, and he will be buried in the dust of history along with these rotten corpses, just like when he saw that book.
"Where's our first stop?"
Someone asked.
"Let's go eat first." Nanyu said, "Eating is not a taboo in this world. On the first day we came here, there were a lot of delicious food on the street dedicated to Wenchang. We can go there."
Yan Ke flipped through her phone and said, "I found a book about Sacrifice, but unfortunately I haven't read more than two pages. We can go to the bookstore and take a look. The book looks like a very common book."
Everyone was very surprised that there really was a clue.
Half an hour later, everyone arrived at Wenchang Bookstore, which was said to be the largest bookstore in the city. When everyone arrived, they found that it was indeed very big.
[Wenchang Book Pavilion] is not too far from the Elite Middle School, but it is not close either. It takes at least three hours to walk there. At the suggestion of everyone, they took a taxi here. In this weird game world, the most convenient thing is that you can use mobile phones and real currency.
Nanyu sat in the front row, and the other four squeezed in the back seat.
"Master, five people doesn't count as overtaking, right?"
Li Heng was still worried that traffic rules might also be considered taboos.
The driver said honestly: "No, no one is in charge. It's okay if I drive slowly." Before he finished speaking, the car rushed out.
The driver also asked: "Someone died at Elite High School again, right?"
Everyone was shocked: "Master, how did you know?"
The master sighed and said, "Now there are fewer deaths from sacrifices than when we were in school. Most families with poor conditions are unwilling to send their children to school. Since the city began to worship Wenchang Star God, such incidents have become less common. No one believes in it, but wearing a Wenchang Star God pendant or a peace talisman from a temple will keep you safe."
"A gentleman should not speak of strange things." Yan Ke said, "Sacrifice should have existed since ancient times."
The driver sighed sadly, "After all, everyone wants to stand out. Studying is a shortcut, but it's not easy. If your grades are average, you can avoid this kind of thing. The worst thing is to study well but not be the best. A future that is within reach will distort people's judgment."
Nanyu asked calmly at this time: "Are there many children studying here?"
The driver said helplessly, "A lot, of course not a lot. If there is not even a college student in the family, you will be discriminated against. Maybe it has been like this since our ancestors. If you don't study, you will be bullied. There is only one person who can study. And there is also the evil magic of [sacrifice]. Although everyone is afraid of death, they are also afraid of being bullied. It's a dilemma."
At this time, everyone didn't know what kind of bullying would be more terrible than death, but they still heard that being bullied might be worse than death.
As they were talking, they arrived at the Wenchang Book Pavilion.
Wenchang Book Pavilion is an ancient building with imposing appearance, blue bricks and red tiles. Strings of lanterns sway slightly in the wind. A closer look reveals that they are fixed with wires. The words "Wenchang Book Pavilion" are written in official script, which is neat but easy to recognize.
It was almost dusk, but there was still a constant stream of people here, and several people got out of the taxi.
Yan Ke walked at the back because of her wound. Nan Yu asked, "What's the name of that book?"
"Didn't I say that?"
"You didn't." Nanyu was speechless.
"I seem to have forgotten." Yan Ke said helplessly.
"Then ask the bookstore clerk." Li Heng said, turning around.
Nan Yu rolled his eyes. How could these people be so unreliable? They even forgot such a small clue. It was really annoying.
Yan Ke looked at Nan Yu's expression. Nan Yu, who usually had a cold and aloof expression as if no strangers were allowed to approach him, could actually be so interesting.
Nan Yu left directly, feeling furious inside. For a man like Yan Ke, these people were still following him. He would not even know how he died. Why should he follow this guy? After finishing this copy, they must go their separate ways, otherwise he might be angry to death.
Li Heng looked at Nanyu's background in confusion, then turned to look at Yan Ke: "What's wrong with him?"
"It's okay." Yan Ke smiled. This was very interesting.
