Chapter 106 Evening Study (Part 4)
In the huge classroom, two men, one at the front and one at the back, looked at each other strangely.
Mu Chenxi stared mysteriously for a moment, put down his hands, took a step forward, and walked towards Lu Chongnian.
He chuckled, "It's rare to see him sleeping so peacefully."
After he finished speaking, he stood in front of Lu Chongnian and stretched out his hands.
Lu Zhongnian looked at these hands: "..."
Mu Chenxi stared at him steadily: "..."
“…”
“…”
... Lu Zhongnian handed Mu Yu over and said politely, "He always sleeps very quietly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Yu's arm touched Mu Chenxi's hand, and the whole person began to struggle frantically!
His eyes were still closed, but his arms were waving wildly, as if he was a dead frog that had suddenly come back to life. He flapped his arms desperately and almost fell out of Lu Chongnian's hands!
Lu Zhongnian was surprised and quickly pulled Mu Yu back and held him tightly.
…Then the boy snuggled in his arms and fell into a sound sleep.
Mu Chenxi stood still, staring at his own brother with a deathly gaze.
Lu Zhongnian: “……?”
Mu Chenxi said coldly: "Do it again."
Then the process was repeated exactly the same way.
For a moment, Mu Chenxi's aura was as cold as ice.
If Mu Yu was still awake now, he would have been frozen stiff by Mu Chenxi's cold gaze.
Lu Zhongnian was surprised and puzzled. He thought for a moment and said tactfully, "He may not be feeling well today."
Mu Chenxi laughed strangely: "Today?"
Lu Zhongnian: “?”
Mu Chenxi stopped laughing and looked at him directly: "Have you slept with him?"
Lu Zhongnian: “…”
His black eyes still looked calm, but if you looked closely, you would find that his pupils suddenly contracted.
He paused for a moment, his thin lips slightly opened... then closed, opened... then closed.
It was as if beneath that calm exterior, he was frantically thinking about what kind of answer would be appropriate...
Mu Chenxi looked suspicious.
He didn't understand. If they had slept together, they had slept together. If they hadn't slept together, they hadn't slept together. What was there to be fussy about? Didn't Hong Yang and Ye Sui also slept in the same bed with this kid when they went out traveling, and they were still "beaten up" by this kid in their sleep.
Or maybe the two of them had never slept together before, and the guy in front of him just said "He always sleeps very quietly" just as a compliment, and he was afraid of being exposed on the spot... Haha, he said how could Mu Yu sleep like this -
"Yes."
Mu Chenxi suddenly stopped thinking.
Lu Zhongnian's face was still cold and calm, but his ears had turned red unconsciously.
He turned around, avoiding Mu Chenxi's sight, and tried to make his tone sound calm, natural and normal: "I slept with him on the night of the class reunion, and he was very well behaved all night... and slept until dawn."
Mu Chenxi stared at the red spot on the tip of his ear.
The boy walked to the door and turned sideways, but his eyes still didn't fall on him: "So, today should be an exception...?"
Mu Chenxi: “…………”
He felt his nerves throbbing.
*
Mu Yu, who was sleeping soundly, was sent back to classroom 405.
It was put on the chair and spread out on the table like a pancake.
Huang Jiajia felt incredible. Although he was very sleepy due to the power of the copy, how could he really sleep in such a dangerous place?
He stretched out his finger and wanted to poke Mu Yu, but was held down by Hong Yang.
"Be careful, he may fake his death!"
Huang Jiajia: “Ah?”
Lu Zhongnian nodded to Hong Yang: "Please take care of him."
Hong Yang waved his hand: "Don't worry, he's sleeping there, I just don't touch him."
Lu Zhongnian turned around and said to Mu Chenxi, "Brother, shall we go?"
Mu Chenxi was still observing him quietly.
He nodded nonchalantly, and when Lu Zhongnian left the classroom, he turned sideways and asked Hong Yang out of the blue, "Did Ayu sleep in the same room with him on the night of the class reunion?"
Hong Yang was startled and looked up.
When he saw Mu Chenxi's calm face, his brain froze a little.
Why, why are you asking about this all of a sudden... Is Brother Xi asking for something else or is he just asking...
He rolled his eyes left and right, coughed lightly, and said vaguely: "Ahem, um, yes, I was too drunk that day, and Ye Sui wanted to take care of me, so A Yu went to the third floor alone, and then I met him. We were all classmates, so..."
"Heh," Mu Chenxi said in an indiscernible tone, "Why do you need to explain so much?"
Hong Yang: “…………”
When Mu Chenxi left, Huang Jiajia turned around and was startled by Hong Yang: "Why are you sweating so much? Is it hot?"
It's only 13 degrees today?
Hong Yang covered his chest with his hands: "No, why do I feel so panicked?!"
…
…After leaving the classroom, the atmosphere between Lu Zhongnian and Mu Chenxi became very strange.
They all felt it, but they didn't say it...
In the silence, the two men moved very quickly.
On the fourth floor, nothing happened.
Fifth floor, nothing happened.
Sixth Floor——
When they reached the middle section, they found a "Teacher's Office" at the east end of the corridor on the "Polytechnic Campus Navigation" app.
"Wasn't that place originally marked like this?" Mu Chenxi asked, staring into the depths of the darkness.
"That used to be a classroom." Lu Chongnian answered in a low voice.
He started from the 6th floor, so he remembered the layout here very clearly.
They ran there and found that the windows of the room that was supposed to be a classroom had all disappeared. There was only a door embedded in the wall with a sign hanging on it that said "Teacher's Office."
Mu Chenxi grasped the round door handle, turned it slightly, and with a click, the door opened.
He pushed it open slowly.
…The office was dark.
Lu Chongnian found the switch on the wall, pressed it, and the incandescent light came on, allowing them to see everything inside the office.
This is a very well organized office.
Several desks are scattered throughout the room of more than 20 square meters. There are a lot of exercise books piled on each desk. It doesn't look like a university teacher's office, but more like a high school teacher's office.
The two walked in and looked around.
Mu Chenxi casually flipped open a workbook on the desk and found it was full of messy doodles.
"Why do you think the rules require us to write a note and leave it on the podium before we leave?" he suddenly asked.
Lu Zhongnian turned sideways.
"Who are those notes written for?" Mu Chenxi flipped through the papers as he walked over.
When he reached Lu Zhongnian, he stretched out his hand and asked, "Did you bring the lighter?"
Lu Zhongnian was a little hesitant.
"This is a copy. It's impossible for him to let the whole building burn down." Mu Chenxi sneered.
Lu Zhongnian: “…”
A minute later, they both left the office.
The whole office was engulfed in flames.
The flames burned everything, and the paper was burned to ashes, floating into the air in the heat.
The scorching heat seemed to penetrate the wall and reach them, and the firelight reflected in their pupils.
After a while, Mu Chenxi said, "It's out."
Both of their eyes fell on the outer wall of the office - a thin black line quietly crawled out of the office, like an earthworm, winding on the snow-white corner of the wall.
Mu Chenxi walked over.
The black line was frightened and formed a wavy arc, then suddenly shrank as if trying to gather strength to rush forward, but Mu Chenxi kicked it down along with the wall dust.
The black line twitched twice in a pile of wall dust and then lay flat.
Lu Zhongnian walked to the other side of the door and put one foot on the ground.
——A black question mark was twisting wildly under his feet. It was almost blending into the color of the ground and could not be seen without careful observation.
Lu Zhongnian exerted a little force and the question mark stopped moving.
"…Is it lines?" Lu Zhongnian thought thoughtfully.
"It should be the things in the homework book."
Mu Chenxi crushed several more of them to death with his feet, just like stepping on ants, and a pile of "corpses" lay on the ground.
Soon, the "outside time limit" was up. If they didn't return to Room 405, they would soon fall asleep here.
Mu Chenxi: "Let's go back first."
On the way back, Lu Zhongnian said, "There should be more monsters in the next round than just those few."
The two questions asked by Mu Chenxi already had answers.
Why do the rules require them to write a note and leave it on the podium before leaving?
Who were those notes for?
——Most likely, it is used for monsters to see.
The monsters during class were weaker than they had expected. Obviously, if they were all discovered by the players, they would be easily destroyed.
If there were no checks and balances in rules, then the outcome of this game would be a foregone conclusion.
The dungeon asks players to write down their "destination" before leaving, probably to prevent weak monsters from avoiding them.
However, there are also big loopholes in this.
For example, they can write that their destination is classroom 406 next to classroom 405, and then wait until they run around the entire teaching building and finally go to classroom 406. Isn’t this also a destination?
They can definitely use this method to catch the monster off guard, and the copy doesn't say that this is not allowed.
Even this time, the destination they wrote down before leaving was "6th Floor", not a specific classroom.
However, those line monsters should have had a premonition, but they finally chose to hide in the piles of exercise books. They might have thought that even if the two of them really went to the office, it would be impossible for them to flip through all the books, let alone identify them from the massive amount of lines.
——But they have lighters.
They don't have to "search all over" to find them.
However, those lines that escaped should not be all.
Mu Chenxi said calmly: "It doesn't matter, as long as we know their true identities. If we really kill them all, we may not be able to play games during recess, which is not a good thing."
They haven't found any clues about other hidden players yet - if there are any hidden players - but the monsters' subconscious reactions in the game to protect the "game owner" can provide them with guidance.
Therefore, the mini-games during recess still have to be carried out, and they have to keep some monsters alive.
Lu Zhongnian's eyes turned slightly: "Yeah."
…Then there was an eerie silence between them again.
After going down to the fourth floor, Lu Zhongnian opened his mouth hesitantly.
Mu Chenxi suddenly said, "Ayu used to be able to sleep peacefully while holding Zhao Er."
Lu Zhongnian: “…”
He tensed his body silently.
"Zhao Er is a Chihuahua raised by our grandmother. His full name is Zhao Ergou." Mu Chenxi sneered.
…and the body slowly relaxes again.
Lu Zhongnian's expression eased, and he uttered a low voice in his throat: "Yeah."
He even raised his lips slightly.
Mu Chenxi: “…”
…………The last sentence should not be added.
