Drop out of school
The footsteps are getting closer.
The four of them looked up at the same time.
A pair of feet wearing small white shoes and two white legs stopped halfway.
Could it be just two legs? Or was this person wearing no pants? Chen Can held his breath, waiting to see what would happen.
"Hello, everyone!" The voice echoed throughout the building, and laughter resounded.
The two legs paused for a moment, and then couldn't wait to expose the upper body.
Pink shorts with the No. 10 Middle School uniform, and the amazing purple eyeshadow.
Even someone with a low aesthetic sense like Chen Can was amazed by the color combination in front of him. His eyes twitched and he couldn't bear to look at it.
The main reason is that not many people wear this fluorescent green-sleeved school uniform.
"Excuse me." The man in pink shorts stood on the two steps in front of them, like a superstar in the spotlight. The next second, the lights in the entire building came on, and the boy smiled brightly, like a light washing over him.
"I'm your senior, please don't be so formal."
"Who is this? There is such a person in the school, how come I don't know him?" Zhu Baifeng poked Chen Can and asked.
"How should I know? You ask me?" After watching for a long time, Chen Can always felt that the smile of the person in front of him was a little miserable.
"I dropped out of school in my first year of high school." The man in pink shorts took two steps down with a smile, and the five of them squeezed onto the corner platform.
Ou Ranyu pulled Chen Can back a few steps, and Li Yachang and Zhu Baifeng also retreated three feet.
The man in pink shorts was the only one left on the square platform.
"Don't get close to him." Ou Ranyu warned Chen Can.
The girl in pink shorts seemed very angry, but pretended to be serious. She said half angrily, half angrily, "Hey, hey, Ou Ranyu, who told you to scare these kids?"
Three children: "..."
Ou Ranyu said, "You'd better get out of here, Shi, Zhi, Mu."
"Okay, okay, get out of here. I came here happily to meet you, why do you want me to go? Shouldn't you be the one to go? You hypocritical psychopath." Shi Zhimu showed no emotion, like a robot that could adjust his emotions at will.
Ou Ranyu was more like an emotional machine, and there was no fluctuation in his response to his words.
"Hahaha, let's go. I'll play with you guys later."
Shi Zhimu's emotions, like everyone else's, came and went. His laughter echoed for a few seconds before he turned and headed upstairs.
The shiny Hello Kitty printed on the pink shorts is particularly eye-catching under the light.
What a freak.
The lights in the entire building flickered strangely for a few times before going completely dark, as if the lights were only on for the twilight of the day.
"Should we continue going down now?" Zhu Baifeng asked in the dark.
"According to what Pink Pants said just now, we might not be able to come back, but there should be other ways." Chen Can glanced at Ou Ranyu, waiting for him to continue.
Ou Ranyu said: "Come with me, I will chase after him and catch him."
Chen Can also felt that he should be caught, but the question was how to catch him. He estimated that Ou Ranyu had already fought against Shi Zhimu before he came, otherwise why would he be so anxious to let him go back.
Could it be that Time's Twilight's target is him again?
Many disasters and calamities, absorbing the evil holy body.
After Chen Can's experience in the game last time, he was not so afraid of this adventure. As long as he didn't die, he didn't care about any monsters or demons.
"Let's go." Chen Can tacitly agreed that Zhu Baifeng and Li Ya would often leave together.
"Light Bulb, come here and protect my hand." Zhu Baifeng took advantage of the situation and pulled Chen Can back from Ou Ranyu. He always felt that Ou Ranyu and Shi Zhimu were in the same group, and it was dangerous to keep him around.
Li Yachang said nothing, lowered his head and followed them away.
"Duck intestines, what do you think?" Chen Can had many thoughts in his mind.
I have a question, and I think I won't get a real explanation from Ou Ranyu, so I have to ask Li Yachang.
"Actually, I'm wondering what the motive of the Tomb of Time is.
What? He used Venatchis to lure me here, and then you three in. Does this have anything to do with the previous game? And why are we here? He just suddenly appeared and disappeared again. Was he deliberately trying to lure us in? Li Yachang glanced at Ou Ranshan, who was walking ahead, and continued, "There's someone who seems to know a lot about something. Why don't you ask him?"
He refers to Ou Ran.
"If asking him is useful, why would I look for you?" Chen Can blurted out.
Ou Ranyu paused when he heard this, then continued walking forward.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's better to ask you than to ask Ou Ranyu." Zhu Baifeng agreed deeply.
Li Yachang said: "...you should try the light bulb."
No, don't try.
Chen Can decided to keep quiet until he got an answer. Regardless of Shi Zhimu's intentions or his relationship with Venatase, he just needed to survive and get out of this hellhole.
Li Yachang was about to say something, but had to keep quiet.
Ou Ranyu was walking very fast in front, so fast that Chen Can thought he would disappear in the next second. However, every time his figure was about to disappear, he would return to Chen Can's sight.
Like it was intentional.
Chen Can inadvertently quickened his pace.
Ou Ranyu seemed to sense something and slowed down his pace, walking shoulder to shoulder with Chen Can.
Zhu Baifeng is about to get angry again, Li Yachang is looking forward to it
Chen Can went to ask Ou Ranyu.
Ou Ranyu lowered his head and said something to Chen Can.
"Actually, I came here this time to deal with Shi Zhimu. The explosion of the North Building has a lot to do with him. After I have resolved everything, I will tell you if you want to know." Ou Ranyu spoke very slowly and softly, and only Chen Can could hear it.
"I know you still don't believe me, but I still have to tell you that everything here is fake. Don't believe anything except me."
Every word fell clearly into Chen Can's ears, as if
The raindrops gather into a silent rainy day.
Chen Can didn't say a word, just listened silently.
"I'm going to catch him first, wait for me." Ou Ranyu paused, then remembered something and changed his words: "Forget it, you can go first."
Before Chen Can could answer, Ou Ranyu disappeared into the darkness without a trace.
It feels like something like... a separation between life and death?
Chen Can thought about it a lot and finally came up with one solution.
"What did you and Ou Ranyu talk about when you were walking so close to each other?" Zhu Baifeng asked Chen Can who had stopped walking.
"Did you gain anything? I mean clues." Li Yachang also stopped and asked.
"He just said that the explosion of the North Building has a lot to do with Time's Twilight." Chen Can replied.
"Ou Ranyu came here to deal with Shi Zhimu. Zhu Baifeng and I followed him in by accident, and you, Yachang, were brought in by Venatchis." Chen Can looked at Li Yachang. "If Shi Zhimu knew Venatchis or Li Xinyi, does that mean they were targeting you? But you have nothing to do with the North Tower explosion."
"Then what exactly does he want from you? Money? Beauty?" Chen Can stared at Li Yachang's face and considered for a moment. "Is he going to sacrifice you like Venatus sacrificed me? Feed you to this haunted building to suppress the unjust deaths."
"If that's really the case, with Shi Zhimu's ability, he can do it now, unless he is still waiting for something, waiting for the right time. Or he has a new plan - to kill us all here." Li Yachang stared at the floor, lost in thought for a moment.
"A minor who dropped out of school blew up the school and then came back, dragging unrelated people into the situation and forcing them into a desperate situation. It's really... too infuriating." Zhu Baifeng wished he could tear Shi Zhimu into pieces right now.
"It's just related to him, not necessarily because he blew it up." Li Yachang corrected Zhu Baifeng.
"I think it's nine out of ten times true. Even if he wasn't the one who blew up the North Building, it's true that he is the one who has trapped us here now," Zhu Baifeng retorted.
Li Yachang said, "I just disagree with the first half of your sentence. You also said it's just a high possibility. Why jump to conclusions about something that's uncertain?"
Zhu Baifeng asked back, "Are you protecting Time's Twilight?"
Li Yachang just thought he was baffling: "I'm just speaking the truth."
"Zhu Baifeng, you go ahead, Li Yachang, you follow behind. The two of you, don't get close for now." Chen Can separated the two of them and stood in the middle. "The enemy hasn't been eliminated yet, comrades, don't fight among yourselves."
Zhu Baifeng snorted and walked up on his own.
Chen Can called out to him: "Why are you walking? Do you know how to walk?"
Zhu Baifeng said, "Aren't we looking for Shi Zhimu? We can't rely on Ou Ranyu alone, and didn't you tell me to move forward?"
Li Yachang couldn't help laughing.
Chen Can said, "I told you to go ahead, not to go up. If we don't look for Shi Zhimu, Shi Zhimu will look for us."
Zhu Baifeng turned around and continued walking down. This time, he really didn't want to pay attention to anyone and walked ahead silently.
"This old pig." Chen Can couldn't help but curse with a smile from behind, but Zhu Baifeng turned around and warned him with a sharp look as if he wanted to kill someone.
Chen Can shut up and hurried to follow. Li Yachang didn't say anything and followed the instructions to walk at the end.
Chen Can looked up at the sky and asked Li Yachang: "What do you think this place looks like?"
Li Yachang said: "I thought it was a closed circle before, but now it feels like a Rubik's Cube. Each step is a cube that can be rotated freely and transformed."
Chen Can agreed: "As expected of you, what else?"
Li Yachang continued, "The path we're on is like a cube that's changing position. We appear to be going down, but in fact, if the cube rotates slightly, we could actually be going up."
Chen Can continued his words: "So only by twisting each square into the correct position can we find the right path."
"Is it really that simple?" Zhu Baifeng listened for a long time and couldn't help but speak out.
Li Yachang said quietly, "Don't forget who is manipulating you."
"However, I wonder if Shi Zhimu can't fully control this place, and he himself can't be completely sure where his next space will be. If so, then his sudden appearance and sudden departure can be explained." Li Yachang added.
Chen Can touched his chin and nodded: "It's not impossible."
Zhu Baifeng said: "After all, we still have to end the time."
Chen Can thought that the three of them might not be his match.
I don’t know if Ou Ranyu can handle it alone.
Ou Ranyu...
Chen Can recalled the time when he first met Ou Ranyu here. Ou Ranyu was so abnormal, as if he was possessed by a ghost. He wondered if it was Shi Zhimu's doing. If so, would it be possible...
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let him go alone...
Chen Can's heart was pounding and he stopped almost as a reflex.
"Light Bulb, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Baifeng turned around and asked him.
Li Yachang also stopped and looked at him doubtfully for a while, then said uncertainly, "Are you afraid?"
Chen Can came back to his senses a little after hearing their voices, and said absentmindedly: "Why don't we go upstairs?"
Zhu Baifeng was puzzled and said, "You must be possessed by evil spirits. You keep going up and down the stairs."
Li Yachang was even more puzzled: "You forgot, going upstairs and going downstairs are the same."
I'm really possessed.
Chen Can was speechless for a moment, then immediately returned to normal: "I forgot. I'm just tired from walking and want to rest."
Zhu Baifeng pointed out: "You are tired, but you just walked for ten minutes. When did you become so fragile?"
Chen Can: "...I think we've been gone long enough."
Li Yachang saw through it but didn't say anything, helping Chen Can out: "I'm tired too."
Zhu Baifeng didn't know what to say, and Chen Can secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The darkness fell into silence again.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but I heard a slight noise coming from downstairs.
Rustling...
It's more like... something is climbing up.
