A cold wind blew by, and Ju Jingbai shivered suddenly.
No matter how you think about it, this scene is too weird.
"Help!"
Ju Jingbai couldn't ignore the cry for help, so she stood still and looked around.
This path is the shortest way from the main gate to the No. 2 dormitory building when they usually go out to play. Even if there are no couples, there are often some people who want to take a shortcut through this path, but today there is no one on this path.
Ju Jingbai subconsciously sent a WeChat message to Xu Ge.
—Boss, I met an unlucky kid who fell into the sewer on the school path. Now I plan to rescue him. If I don’t call you in ten minutes, please call the police for me.
—There’s no one here, I don’t think something is right.
—Okay, be careful. Xu Ge replied.
Ju Jingbai adjusted his hat with satisfaction and walked towards the manhole cover. If she sent a message to her senior brother now, he would definitely turn back immediately and warn her to stay where she was.
It would be different if she told Xu Ge, Xu Ge would just cooperate with her actions.
Ju Jingbai felt that she couldn't be so unlucky. It had only been a few days since she opened her Yin-Yang eyes, and she was still encountering supernatural events every day?!
"Is there anyone here? Is there anyone here?"
The cries for help in the sewer had become hoarse, and the sound of crying and despair was heard.
Ju Jingbai could sense the child's despair just by listening to his voice.
She carefully found the lightning-attracting talisman from her backpack, placed it in an easily accessible trouser pocket, and attached an evil-repelling talisman to her wrist to prevent it from coming into contact with anything other than a real person.
"Hello, did you fall into the sewer here?" Ju Jingbai asked as he took a step forward and accidentally stepped on a purple cell phone. She picked it up and pressed the power button.
The phone was not broken. After it turned on, the screensaver was a boy wearing glasses.
The boy looked strangely familiar.
Ju Jingbai was shocked. It was the boy driving the yellow sports car that she got on the wrong car this morning.
"Yes, yes, hello... I accidentally fell into the sewer when I was walking here today, and my phone fell outside. Are you a girl? Are you alone? Can you help me call some people over?"
"Or you could find me some tools." Xu Fei anxiously explained his situation. "It's not very deep here, only about three meters. I was lucky; I only got minor scratches when I fell."
"Okay, wait a moment." Ju Jingbai said, and took out a bundle of climbing ropes from her canvas bag. When she went out with Xu Ge for the first time, Xu Ge had prepared ropes to tie up the bad guys. She was Xu Ge's assistant, so after seeing that, she also prepared a lot of useful things in her bag.
Ju Jingbai thought about it and handed down the climbing rope with a glove tied to one end.
She took the other end and walked around a peach tree not far away. She rubbed her hands together and exerted force. "Xu Fei, is it? Is it tied up? I'm going to pull it."
"Okay." Xu Fei shouted loudly in the sewer.
Ju Jingbai clenched his fists and slowly pulled the rope upwards.
"Thank you, I really don't know what I would do if it weren't for you. Let's add each other on WeChat. I'll treat you all to dinner tomorrow."
Xu Fei climbed up with great effort and saw Ju Jingbai standing there. He was stunned and looked around.
"It's you? Why are you alone? Where are the others?"
"I'm alone here. Are you okay? Do you need to go to our school's infirmary?"
Ju Jingbai felt relieved when he saw that Xu Fei's windbreaker was torn to pieces, his body was soaked with dirty water and emitted a foul smell.
That lingering sense of weirdness also disappeared for the most part.
"Do you want to go to the infirmary?" Ju Jingbai asked again.
Xu Fei finally came out of his daze: "No, thank you so much."
"No, you really pulled me up by yourself? I weigh 160 pounds."
"Well, it's okay, it won't sink." Ju Jingbai nodded.
"Oh, oh." Xu Fei was stunned. After a while, he supported himself on the cement floor and stood up with a heavy heart. "I didn't expect that the meeting I said this morning would turn out to be like this."
“When I came here, there were still many people here.
I saw some peach blossoms still blossoming, and it was so novel that I wanted to take a picture and post it on social media, but I didn’t manage to take a picture, and instead it fell into the sewer.”
Xu Fei took off his glasses with a look of regret and wiped them. His glasses were already covered with scratches.
"When I fell in, I called for help, but no one paid any attention to me. It was also very murky inside, and I couldn't get out at all."
Ju Jingbai put away his things and handed over the phone he had found: "This should be yours, right?"
"It's mine. I just bought this phone a few days ago." Xu Fei took it with a look of love. "I was in the pit just now. If I had still had the phone, I wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state."
"By the way, what's your name, classmate? I've only seen you on Tieba, so I don't know your name yet."
"Ju Jingbai, the scenery of the scene, the color is white."
As Ju Jingbai spoke, he took out his cell phone and wanted to send a message to Xu Ge.
Suddenly I found that there was no signal.
"Let's add each other on WeChat. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow," said Xu Fei.
"Do you have a signal?" Ju Jingbai frowned.
"No, that's strange. There should be a signal here. I used to play with my phone here all the time."
There are no street lights on the path, and the only light we can get is the faint light from the dormitory building over there.
The breeze rustled the leaves.
Suddenly, the light of a flashlight shone over, and the sound of people walking came over.
Ju Jingbai raised his hand to cover his eyes and looked at the group of people walking towards him through the gaps between his fingers.
The group included not only students from their school, but also doctors in white coats, men wearing big gold chains, working women in suits, and so on.
The ratio of men to women is half and half, which is very balanced.
But no matter how Ju Jingbai looked at it, it was very awkward for such a group of people with different styles to be together.
Not to mention, they were walking on the path of their school.
Ju Jingbai turned on the flashlight on his cell phone, and she was able to see everyone's face clearly with the dim light.
These people have almost no energy and their faces look lifeless.
And when everyone saw her, they showed an expression of disgust to some extent.
"Newcomer?" asked the big gold chain.
"What newcomer?" Xu Fei was surprised.
"Looks like she's new here! Holy shit, why are there new people here? Didn't they just bring in a couple of days ago? Newbies are fine, but none of them can fight." The big gold chain cursed angrily, "How can this weak little girl kill someone? And that guy, he looks injured too, fuck!"
"Xiao Qi, please explain the rules here to them." The man in the white coat was gentle, but he was unwilling to spend time on Ju Jingbai, so he called a girl over.
Ju Jingbai asked curiously: "What rules?"
"Read a novel? You should know Infinite Horror. This is that kind of place."
A girl with short hair explained tremblingly.
"Unlike Infinite Horror, the rules for clearing the level here are: kill an NPC, and there will be various clues to help you identify who the NPC is and how to kill him. If you kill the wrong NPC, one of our players will die. We've already lost a lot of people here."
"Only when everyone completes the mission can we return to the real world and await the next summons."
"We need to complete this world twelve times in total, and succeed in all twelve times, to completely escape from this place."
It was the first time that Ju Jingbai knew about the existence of such an absurd world. He just didn't know what the true nature of this small world was, a barrier, a dream, or an illusion.
"So are NPCs human?" she asked the question that concerned her most.
"uncertain."
As the short-haired girl finished speaking, cheerful background music suddenly sounded. After the background music ended, a child's voice with a milky flavor welcomed her, "Everyone, welcome to the death performance. Oh, there are two newcomers today. Welcome everyone. Newcomers, please follow the seniors carefully and learn from them. Now, let me explain the rules of this performance."
