Chapter 103 Evening Study (I)
At 5:00 in the evening, a group of people gathered in front of Building 5.
It had just started to drizzle at that time, and the ground was covered with a layer of golden ginkgo leaves, which were hit by the rain and stuck to the ground wetly.
There were 15 people in total. In addition to Mu Yu and Jiang Shuyue, Ye Sui, Hong Yang, Su Mingyun, Jing Qiao, Fu Xiaoju and Gao Zhanyuan all came.
Li Ke and Chang Sen had just finished class and rushed over. Although they were nervous, they still mustered up their courage.
Xu Dong and Wang Jia, who had participated in the Yinghu Park copy, Zhang Huawei who looked embarrassed, and Yu Ning who was silent, all volunteered to be gatekeepers.
——Yu Ning is deaf, and since the copy does not force him to be selected, he still does not want to cause trouble to others, but he still wants to help everyone.
There is also Yan Shaowen. It is this guy’s arrival that is the most surprising.
"Why are you here too?" Fu Xiaoju circled around Yan Shaowen, as if he saw the sun rising from the west. "You were silent in the group, why are you suddenly so active?"
Yan Shaowen waved him away without explaining: "Are you still coming in?"
"Go in," Mu Yu was actually very curious, but business was more important. He said to Zhang Huawei and the others, "Don't let any students in. If anything happens, let us know in the WeChat group."
"OK!"
Suddenly, the remaining 11 people rushed into Building 5.
Building 5 has a total of six floors, and they allocated them as follows:
Mu Yu, Gao Zhanyuan and Yan Shaowen worked in groups of three to check the first and second floors;
Ye Sui and Hong Yang were in a team to check the third floor;
Li Ke and Chang Sen were in a team to check the fourth floor;
Jiang Shuyue and Fu Xiaoju were in a team to check the fifth floor;
The remaining Su Mingyun and Jing Qiao checked the sixth floor.
After the assignment, they split up and headed for the floors they were responsible for.
*
It was dinner time at this time, and there were not many students in the teaching building.
The students were quite cooperative and left quickly when they heard that the power in the building was about to be cut off.
Occasionally, there would be one or two people who were suspicious. After Yan Shaowen outside the classroom lazily called out, "Are you done? The teacher said the building will be closed soon," they would quickly pack up and leave.
…………Although the relationship between the power outage and the building closure is completely incomprehensible, it’s okay as long as it can fool people, ok!
Soon, everyone reported in the group.
"I've checked, no one's on the sixth floor!"
"There is a student on the fourth floor, he has been advised to leave."
"There's no one on the fifth floor. Check completed [Salute]"
"There were two people on the third floor. They've already left."
Mu Yu replied: "All students on the first and second floors have been persuaded to leave! Everyone, familiarize yourself with the terrain!"
At this moment, the three of them were on the second floor. After Mu Yu sent the message, he said to the other two, "Hey, let's go over there and take a look?"
He pointed to the end of the corridor, which was the east side of the floor.
"There's a lounge over there. Did you notice it just now? That's where one of the four great ghost stories of the Polytechnic Institute, 'Words on the Floor in the Lounge', takes place."
Gao Zhanyuan asked mysteriously, "Brother Yu, do you think this instance is related to that ghost story?"
Mu Yu said: "Maybe, after all, it just happens to be in this building."
"Didn't they say that the lounge only opens at night? Does it count as night now?"
You will know whether it counts or not when you open it.
They walked there.
The lounge is lonely in the corner, separated from the classrooms in front by a toilet and a staircase.
There were no windows, only a door in the wall. The door was light gray, with a sign on it that read "Student Lounge" in large letters.
There was a round door handle, Mu Yu tried to turn it...with a click, the door opened!
He raised his chin towards the two people behind him and led the way in.
I pressed the light switch on the wall and the room suddenly became bright.
This lounge is not big, about ten square meters, and there is no fancy decoration. The four walls are all painted white, and there are two small round tables and a few chairs in the middle.
There was another door on the wall opposite the main entrance. Mu Yu tried it and found that the door could not be opened.
"Why is there another room inside the room?" Gao Zhanyuan was confused. "Why is it so complicated?"
"I remember the room inside was used to store things like coffee machines. Usually, both doors open together..." Mu Yu looked around a few more times, but couldn't figure out what it was, so he said, "Forget it, let's go."
Apart from this lounge, there seems to be nothing else worth noting in the entire teaching building.
They checked the two floors again. In the group chat, Su Mingyun said, "I suddenly have a feeling that I want to stay in classroom 603 [headache] Qiaoqiao feels the same as me..."
Jiang Shuyue: "Me too, Fu Xiaoju and I want to wait in classroom 507."
Chang Sen: "What's going on? [confused]"
Li Ke: "Ah, but we need to gather together, right?"
Zhang Huawei, who was standing outside the teaching building, said, "Is this some kind of dungeon induction?"
Li Ke: "[Skeleton] Then why don't Chang Sen and I feel anything?"
Mu Yu: "If you have a strong desire to stay in a certain classroom, then just go with your feelings. It's hard to say whether it has something to do with the copy. If it does, I think it's better not to force it against your will."
Jiang Shuyue: "I think so too. We don't know whether the dungeon will occur in the entire building or on a single floor. If we gather together, it will be risky."
Hong Yang: "Maybe everyone will miss the floor where the actual dungeon takes place?"
Jiang Shuyue: “Yeah.”
Ye Sui: "Okay, then Yangyang and I will go to Room 308."
Li Ke: "Do you all have a premonition... [Skull]"
Mu Yu: "Not really. I'm the only one in our group who wants to stay in 211. Yan Shaowen and Zhu Zhu don't feel the same way at all."
Su Mingyun: "Ahhhhhh I'm so nervous, is it about to start?"
Jiang Shuyue: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, everyone is [patting the head.jpg]"
Classroom 211 is diagonally across from the ghost story lounge.
Mu Yu couldn't really tell whether he wanted to enter this classroom because he cared about the lounge, or if the copy was really trying to trick him into doing something... Anyway, Yan Shaowen and Gao Zhanyuan didn't feel anything, so he just picked a classroom to enter.
Entering the classroom, he sat down at a seat near the window.
Gao Zhanyuan happily sat down next to him, while Yan Shaowen lazily sat behind them.
On the tables by the windows lay a number of ginkgo leaves that had floated in from the windows.
Yan Shaowen only took a glance, then looked out the window and asked casually, "How old is your tree?"
Outside the window is a lush ginkgo tree, about five stories high, and golden, as if hung with gold ingots. It is dazzling even in the gloomy sky under the rain.
Mu Yu casually picked up a small fan-like ginkgo leaf on the table and said, "It is said to be more than a hundred years old."
All science and technology people know this ginkgo tree and have deep feelings for it. It has accompanied countless students through one night of self-study after another, and countless students have also accompanied it through spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Some tourists who come to travel nearby will come to the University of Science and Technology specifically to take pictures of this tree, and it has become a popular check-in spot for internet celebrities.
Unfortunately, the two people in his group are not very romantic.
Gao Zhanyuan took out his phone and started playing games, saying, "I can't finish the game after the dungeon starts..."
It sounds like once you enter the dungeon, you can't get out.
After listening to what Mu Yu said, Yan Shaowen yawned lazily.
Mu Yu was a little speechless. He looked at the time and it was only 5:30. There was still some time before the copy started, so he took out the calculus textbook he brought with him to pass the time.
"By the way, Yan Shaowen, you have really become more active recently," he gossiped while flipping through the textbook without turning his head, "What interesting things have you encountered?"
Behind him, Yan Shaowen yawned and glanced at the back of his head.
"What do you mean?" Young Master Yan kicked the ball lazily.
"You ask me, and I ask you."
Gao Zhanyuan leaned over and said, "Didn't this guy remember the vixen?"
"?" Mu Yu asked suspiciously, "He's not the kind of person who would be interested in a dungeon just because he remembered his good brother..."
Yan Shaowen smiled.
Gao Zhanyuan made an irresponsible guess: "What is that? Is there money to be made in the dungeon?"
Yan Shaowen laughed even more excitedly.
"Are there any girls you want to pursue?"
Yan Shaowen laughed out loud.
Mu Yu: “?”
Gao Zhanyuan: “?”
Which word made this guy laugh?
"Nothing, don't mind me," Yan Shaowen bent his elbows, leaned against the window sill, looked out the window lazily, and said, "Don't guess randomly, it will cause trouble."
Gao Zhanyuan was confused, and Mu Yu also turned around and looked this guy up and down.
The two looked at each other and saw in each other's eyes: This guy is going crazy...
…
The whole building fell silent as the sky gradually darkened.
There were a few friends like Mu Yu who didn't like wasting time, such as Jiang Shuyue, Ye Sui, and Li Ke. They all opened the textbooks they brought, reading them absent-mindedly while forcing themselves to concentrate.
Most people are playing with their mobile phones.
There were still a small number of people left, and they couldn't tell whether they were anxious or calm, so they simply lay down on the table and closed their eyes to rest.
Time passed minute by minute, slowly approaching six o'clock.
…
Zhang Huawei, Yu Ning, Xu Dong and Wang Jia were holding umbrellas outside Building 5, guarding two directions.
Zhang Huawei had just persuaded two students who wanted to enter the teaching building to leave. He looked at the time, swallowed his saliva and said, "It seems to be about time."
Yu Ning nodded.
"Fuck, I'm getting nervous too. There are only 11 of them going in. That's not enough, right?"
Yu Ning typed on her phone for him to see: "Keep calm, it's fate if you really enter the dungeon."
"..." Zhang Huawei said depressedly, "Actually I don't want to come, but if I don't come I'll seem like a coward."
Yu Ning patted his shoulder to show his understanding.
A gust of wind blew, and ginkgo leaves fluttered over from the side of the teaching building under the drizzle.
A tall figure stopped a few steps away, and a leaf fell into the man's open palm.
The man pinched the petiole with his slender index finger and thumb, turned it twice, and took a step forward, continuing to walk towards them.
Yu Ning quickly pushed Zhang Huawei.
It looks like he's going into Building 5.
Zhang Huawei quickly ran over to stop him: "Hey, classmate, there will be a power outage in Building 5 today. You can't go in. Go to another building to study."
"Power outage?" A slow and pleasant voice came from under the umbrella, "Did the school ask you to notify them?"
When Zhang Huawei heard this, he thought this was a troublemaker.
Just as he was about to continue talking nonsense, the black umbrella was slightly raised, and the face of the person holding the umbrella was revealed.
Zhang Huawei was instantly struck by lightning.
He was stunned and opened his mouth, but not a word came out.
The handsome man looked at him, then looked past him, behind them.
He raised his lip and said, "So, it looks like this is the building?"
After saying this, he turned around and walked past them - this time he really walked towards Building 5.
Yu Ning looked at Zhang Huawei who was standing there in a daze, then looked at the man again, with a puzzled look on his face. He took a step forward to block him again, holding up his phone: "Classmate, the building will be sealed off soon, you can't go in!"
"Then wait until it is really sealed."
The man said this calmly and passed by Yu Ning, leaving them no chance to argue from beginning to end.
Yu Ning: “?!”
He quickly pulled Zhang Huawei, who said blankly, "Didn't you recognize him?"
Yu Ning: “???”
Zhang Huawei trembled: "... Didn't you recognize that it was Mu Yu's brother?! He stayed in Gao Zhanyuan's store for a long time on Garbage Street that day. You really didn't recognize him?? Or did I recognize him wrong?!"
Yu Ning was stunned.
"Oh my god, oh my god..." Zhang Huawei picked up the phone with shaking hands, "No, I'll ask Mu Yu to solve it himself..."
Just then, he saw that the time on his phone jumped to 6:00.

Mu Chenxi stepped into Building 5 and put away his umbrella.
Drops of water flowed down the black umbrella surface, dripping from the tip of the umbrella to the ground, leaving dark spots.
In an instant, Mu Chenxi felt... the light dimmed.
He suddenly raised his eyes.
The straight corridor led to the end, and the lights in the corridor suddenly went out.
The lights in the classrooms on both sides were still on, but the light, which had turned faintly pale, seemed unable to reach the corridor.
The straight corridor seemed dark, and the white wall at the end looked like a vague and eerie white shadow in the deep darkness.
Mu Chenxi stood up, stared for two seconds, turned sideways, and looked back behind him.
Outside the teaching building, the campus scenery has disappeared, replaced by thick black fog.
The fog completely blocked the exit.
Mu Chenxi narrowed his eyes and moved a little, but stopped the moment he raised his leg.
After thinking for a moment, he changed his mind.
He picked up his cell phone, dialed Mu Yu's number, put it to his ear, then turned around and walked into the nearby classroom 101.
Looking around the empty classroom, his gaze stopped when it moved to the blackboard.
The rectangular blackboard is divided into left and right parts, with two lines of words written in white chalk on the left.
1. Please find the monster generator as soon as possible and destroy it.
2. If you cannot complete the task within three and a half hours, please be mentally prepared... to face death.
On the right side, more complex rules are written in pink chalk.
Regulations during evening self-study and between classes:
1. In order to help students combine work and rest, starting today, the time for evening self-study and rest between classes will be set.
The first class is from 18:00 to 18:45, with a 15-minute break between classes.
The second class is from 19:00 to 19:45, with a 15-minute break between classes.
The third class is from 20:00 to 20:45, with a 15-minute break between classes.
The fourth class is from 21:00 to 21:30 and ends.
2. Please strictly abide by the rules and enter the classroom immediately after the bell rings. Please do not leave at will during class. If you have something important to do, please write down where you are going on a note and leave it on the podium.
3. To help students relax effectively, the school will organize small games during each break. Please leave the classroom immediately after the bell rings and participate actively. The rules of the game will be announced in advance on the campus navigation app of the Polytechnic.
4. Please note that you don’t want to learn anything other than learning in class, and you don’t want to learn related things during breaks.
5. If new students are not familiar with the teaching building environment, they can use the Polytechnic Campus Navigation App to find the classroom.
Please do your best, students, and enjoy your evening study time!
…
Mu Chenxi slowly put down his phone.
He stared at the contents on the blackboard.
...So, Ayu was acting secretive before, and was participating in this "game" all along?
He moved his thumb and hung up the phone, which was completely silent. He lowered his eyes to the upper right corner of the phone screen - the signal area had turned completely gray.
Time, 6:01.
Switching back to the home screen, the app that was originally ranked first has been pushed to the second place, and replaced by a strange icon with a pure black background and a bright white crescent moon.
The label below the icon is "Navigation within the Polytechnic Campus".
Mu Chenxi smiled and opened the app with a tap of his finger.
Okay, let him come and see what these are.
*
Mu Yu woke up in classroom 211.
…He actually fell asleep on the table!
...and he was the only one left in the classroom?
He stood up in shock and looked around - the corridor outside the classroom had become very dark, Gao Zhanyuan and Yan Shaowen's seats were all empty, and there was no trace of them in the entire classroom.
He had no idea when or how these two people disappeared...
Mu Yu's gaze shifted to the blackboard in the classroom in front of him.
The rules appeared on the blackboard.
He hurried over to read it carefully, then looked down at his phone - shocked again!
It’s already 6:30?!
The first rule of the general rules states that the "first class" starts at 18:00... The copy should also start at that time, right...?
So, he slept for a full half hour...?
When did he become so unguarded?
Mu Yu paused and quickly looked at the rules again.
[Note: Don’t want to learn anything other than what you are studying during class, and don’t want to learn anything related to what you are studying during breaks.]
...It seemed that he really started to feel sleepy after his mind wandered to Lu Chongnian...
Mu Yu was ashamed.
So, players will fall asleep when they daydream in class...?
But that’s not right!
What does “things other than studying” mean?
This range is too broad. His mind is full of things that are not related to study, and he doesn’t feel…sleepy…sleepy…
Mu Yu's eyelids were about to touch each other, and he fell backwards in a daze.
With a thud, his lower back hit the corner of the desk. He gasped in pain, suddenly woke up, and quickly held onto the desk to steady his body, freezing there.
Mu Yu: “…………”
...What the hell!!
Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, argon, potassium, calcium——
He began to recite knowledge points frantically to maintain his precarious sanity.
