Ox Sacrifice 5
The school bathroom was cramped and smelled bad, mixed with the smell of disinfectant, and the blood flowing from the door spread out.
Yan Ke and the other two stood behind the crowd, watching the scene in front of them.
The sound of discussion among the crowd was heard.
"How many sacrifices has this month?" someone asked.
"It's a shame."
At this time, the men's bathroom was packed with people who came to watch the fun, so much so that Yan Ke and the other two didn't even see the bodies of the students who were being sacrificed. Then many people dressed in black came and drove away the crowd.
"Stop looking, don't gather here." The man in black roughly took out the electric baton and asked the crowded people to disperse.
The men's bathroom was blocked off.
"There are really people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of academic performance," someone said.
But the boy next to him said, "You don't know the benefits of sacrifice. It's being on the honor roll and getting praised by teachers and parents. But the price is a bit high. Most of the students who sacrifice know they will die, but they still take this extreme path."
Nan Yu frowned: "The men's bathroom on this floor is blocked, so it will be very inconvenient for these students."
Yan Ke didn't think anything of it, but Li Heng felt that Nan Yu's train of thought was really unique.
Yan Ke nodded at this time: "That makes sense, but I don't think this place will be closed for too long."
"Why?" Li Heng asked the question in his mind.
"Didn't you hear the students' discussion? This kind of sacrifice is very common. This is the third one this month." After saying that, he turned and left without staying for long.
At this time, when Fang Yu came over, he saw Nan Yu who was following Yan Ke. Just as he was about to step forward to say hello, he was stopped by Meng Yueyue.
Fang Yu asked impatiently: "What are you doing?"
"Do you know that person?" Meng Yueyue asked.
Fang Yu pulled his hand out and rubbed his wrist: "You are a really strong girl. Also, don't follow me all the time and don't ask about my private affairs, otherwise I will think you fell in love with me at first sight."
Meng Yueyue kicked Fang Yu hard on the calf.
Fang Yu wailed as he squatted down, frowning and asking, "What are you doing?"
"How can you be so sure that the person is the one you know? You don't even have any sense of crisis. You don't even know how you died." After saying that, he turned around and left back to the teacher.
Fang Yu rubbed his calf, pointed at Meng Yueyue and himself, and said after a while: "Damn, you woman despise me!!"
Nan Yu actually keenly discovered Fang Yu's whereabouts, but he didn't say anything. He just followed Yan Ke back to the office and didn't meet the people who entered the copy with them along the way.
"Are we coming back like this?" Li Heng asked.
Nan Yu said: "Why don't you help them find the murderer?"
"But aren't there people who died?" Li Heng didn't quite understand.
"We are here to be life teachers, not private detectives or police." Nan Yu sat down at his desk and turned on his computer. "Let's take a look at how to write this paper. Otherwise, if you accidentally trigger some rules, you will die. We can't follow you like a mother all the time."
Li Heng's words were choked back.
Nanyu was right. This school was full of weirdness everywhere, and the peaceful and tranquil time during morning self-study was rare.
"Is there really a ghost here?" Li Heng got goosebumps instantly and trembled a little: "You are right, don't meddle in other people's business."
Yan Ke looked up at Nan Yu, the sunlight scattered on his face. He squinted his eyes. His skin was as white as jade, and his facial features were three-dimensional and delicate. He was just a little sharp-tongued and had many secrets, but he was definitely not someone who would be so kind as to remind Li Heng.
He stood up and closed the curtains in the office to block out the sunlight.
Nanyu immediately raised his head and looked at him with a discerning, approving look.
Yan Ke was still reading the email. When he was a graduate student, he hated the idea of a thesis. As a liberal arts student, the thesis was full of flowery words and countless arguments. In the end, it would be rejected many times and even rewritten before it could be passed.
Now he had to do this paper at the same time, which was simply the torture of hell. It was more painful than killing him, but he did not show any emotion on his face and read the content again carefully.
Nan Yu said, "What kind of crap is this? Asking us to study the matter of student sacrifice is like asking us to die. Can you make up something?"
Yan Ke caught the loophole in Nan Yu's words: "How do you know that students must die to be sacrificed?"
Nan Yu leaned back in his chair, looking at the ceiling, but still responded to Yan Ke's question: "I thought you were quite smart before, but you asked such a question, tsk tsk ..."
"Then isn't it a bit hasty to make a judgment based on the fact that a student just sacrificed himself and it was the third case this month?"
Nan Yu sat up straight and smiled: "Don't always make the clues so complicated, okay? This dungeon world gives clues right from the beginning. It's easy to guess. No, it can be seen."
Li Heng scratched his head and said, "Actually, my question is very simple, but I'm a little embarrassed to ask it."
Yan Ke looked at Li Heng and felt this man's embarrassment.
Li Heng said a little embarrassedly: "I only have a high school diploma and have never written a paper. To be honest, I don't understand it."
Nanyu smiled and comforted him, "It's nothing. I don't understand it either."
Yan Ke held his forehead with his hand. This person had just debated with him for a long time, but he didn't understand the feelings. It was all just guessing. It was really unreliable.
If he hadn't been dragged into the dungeon world of the weird game again, today's schedule should have been to buy a litter box for the cat and take him to the veterinary hospital for a check-up and a vaccination. Then he would have to find a part-time job. As an unemployed vagrant, Yan Ke was speechless. It would have been better for him to just die and have less worries.
Yan Ke didn't expect that she would start to miss her life a dozen days ago so soon.
Yan Ke had no choice but to search on the Internet in this world. The result was quite surprising. There were many academic research papers in this world. He told the two of them a search method. It wouldn't be considered slacking off on learning the paper format on the first day.
As time passed, it was noon in a blink of an eye. At this time, the three of them were about to go to the cafeteria, but they met an unexpected person.
This person is Gao Yang, the delivery boy who entered the dungeon with them.
"Everyone, can I follow you?" His cowardly and fearful expression was seen by everyone.
Yan Ke asked: "What happened?"
Gao Yang was obviously terrified: "Yesterday I was the only one living in a dormitory. I waited for a long time but you didn't come, so I went to sleep. And it turned out that the dormitory was haunted."
Nanyu's eyes, which were a little sleepy due to studying, suddenly widened: "Haunted?" Interesting, this first day is so thrilling. This copy is more complicated than he imagined, and he doesn't know how many traps are waiting for Nanyu to jump into.
Yan Ke looked at the startled Li Heng and Nan Yu who seemed to have encountered something interesting, and subconsciously coughed twice.
"Ahem, well, what's your name? I don't think we've introduced ourselves to each other before."
Gao Yang felt relieved because Yan Ke was tall and handsome, like a model, but he didn't seem to have any sense of distance from him.
"My name is Gao Yang, I'm a delivery man, and I'm 26 years old."
“Gao Yang, huh? Just call me Mo Fan. You came to us to tell us that the dormitory is haunted. Is there anything else?”
"Um, should I move into your dormitory?" Gao Yang asked with a tone full of anxious hope.
"I can't make the decision on this. You know this world is not our world." Yan Ke said, and Gao Yang nodded when he heard it.
"Since you live alone now, it's better not to move. This world is very dangerous and you could die at any time. Living alone may not put your life in danger, but moving in with us may violate the rules."
Gao Yang nodded: "I know. If I had known earlier, I would have come back with you. The teachers' dormitories are all four-person dormitories."
Nan Yu said, "It's okay, just move in, it won't necessarily break the rules."
Gao Yang said happily: "Thank you, thank you, but I won't move for the time being. Although it is haunted, it didn't do anything to me. I'm just scared."
"Okay." After saying that, Gao Yang left.
Li Heng expressed his confusion: "Hey, he just left like that, not with us?"
Yan Ke did not explain. Gao Yang was a simple and weak person who could be persuaded with just a few words. Without his own insistence, Yan Ke felt that it did not matter much whether to move or not. Even if he moved here and there was nothing wrong, he could not guarantee that he would not violate the rules of this copy world.
He cannot be someone's spy 24 hours a day, just like those three girls. Even if they are afraid, they still know how to keep their distance. If they ask him for help, Yan Ke will not stand idly by. But if there is a sudden strange murder like in the previous copy, then he will be powerless. He can only hope that these people are not fools, know how to think, and do not touch taboos.
Besides, human nature is very complicated, and he still understands the principle of gratitude and resentment. This is not cold-blooded, because this is not the safe society with laws and moral constraints where they live. This place is really full of weirdness, and the weirdness here may go crazy and kill people at any time, just like the one he met during morning self-study.
Nan Yu said: "It is difficult for this person to survive in this world."
Li Heng asked: "Why, he didn't do anything wrong?"
Nan Yu patted his shoulder and said, "You will know why later."
The long corridor was filled with people. The sudden death in the morning did not seem to have affected the teachers and students in the school, but the death of this student was bound to become a topic of conversation among these people.
During meal time, there were a lot of people in the cafeteria. The three of them got their food and found an empty seat to sit down.
"The student rankings have been updated. Someone has made a comeback. I suspect he also sacrificed something." said a male voice.
"I think so too. Don't these people fear death? They take this evil path just for grades." said another student.
At this time, a student interrupted their conversation: "Your version is too low. He died today in the men's bathroom on the floor below the teachers' office. The body has been taken away."
"Really?"
