Chapter 107 Evening Study (V)
Mu Yu suddenly woke up.
Everyone was surrounding him. He raised his head suddenly and the back of his head almost hit Fu Xiaoju who was standing behind him, but was blocked by a hand.
Lu Zhongnian was sitting next to him and said to everyone, "The rules for the next round of the game have been announced."
Everyone lowered their heads to look at their phones, while Lu Zhongnian turned his eyes and made eye contact with him.
A soft look appeared in the boy's black eyes, and the hand on the back of his head scratched him subconsciously.
Then, his eyes inadvertently passed over Mu Yu, and Lu Chongnian's smile faded.
He lowered his head, coughed lightly, and withdrew his hand.
Mu Yu looked in the direction he was looking in confusion.
…and met the cold gaze of his own brother.
Mu Yu: “……???”
"Why are you looking at me?" Mu Chenxi said with a fake smile, "Follow the rules."
Time, 7:43.
[Mini game 2: Old Wolf, Old Wolf, what time is it! ]
【Game rules:
1. Players should arrive at the flashing cursor in the app within three minutes, stand in a rectangular box, and shout "Laolang, Laolang, what time is it?" The player who has shouted will be at the end of the line, and the next player will come forward.
2. When the old wolf shouts "It's dark", the player immediately escapes from the box, tries to find the safety line, and rushes into the safe zone.
3. Safety lines are distributed throughout the teaching building. The distribution positions will be changed in each game. Players please pay attention.
4. If you move towards the yellow line, the other end of the line is the safe zone; if you move towards the blue line, this end of the line is the safe zone; if you encounter lines of other colors, step on the line to enter the safe zone.
5. When several color lines appear together, the yellow line has the highest priority.
6. If all players escape to the safe zone, a player is caught by the old wolf's agent, or a player kills the old wolf's agent, this round ends and the next round begins.
7. If the player or the old wolf agent is cleared, the game will end early. 】
...Mu Yu couldn't believe that he had slept until the game was about to start.
He twitched his lips and asked, "Have you found the monster for this round of the game?"
Hong Yang said: "We found it. Lu Chongnian and Brother Xi found a 'teacher's office' on the sixth floor. The monsters are those messy lines in the office's homework books. They have eliminated some of them, but there must be some that escaped. They couldn't find them when they went up the second time."
Mu Yu covered his forehead: "Why didn't you wake me up..."
"Damn, you can't wake me up like that?" Fu Xiaoju complained, "I just patted your shoulder, and you almost threw me over your shoulder!"
Mu Yu: “…”
Fu Xiaoju became very serious again: "But then again, although Brother Lu won't be beaten if he touches you, it's useless. What do you think if the two of you are together in the future..."
Hong Yang: “Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”
Su Mingyun: “Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”
Jing Qiao: “Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”
The three of them stretched their necks and sang a passionate duet, which scared Fu Xiaoju, Huang Jiajia and Mu Yu.
Lu Zhongnian looked away and tried hard to keep the corners of his mouth straight.
Mu Chenxi sat there elegantly, with a half-smile on his face: "Why don't you speak louder? Or just use a loudspeaker to shout?"
"Ahem, no, my throat just suddenly felt a little itchy," Hong Yang secretly poked Fu Xiaoju, who touched his ribs guiltily and pretended to zip up his mouth. "Well, let's hurry up and discuss monsters!"
"...The monsters are lines, but we can't be sure whether they were written with a pen or a pencil. There are both types of handwriting in those exercise books, and only these two types," Lu Zhongnian continued calmly, "They can't be destroyed by fire. I think we can consider trying erasers, correction fluid, and correction tape. We'll make plans after seeing the results."
Eraser, Hong Yang has it.
Jing Qiao and Su Mingyun also brought correction fluid and correction tape.
Mu Yu asked: "Fountain pen? Are you sure it's not a fountain pen?"
"Sure, the handwritings of these two pens are easy to distinguish." Mu Chenxi answered indifferently.
…Mu Yu looked at his brother's face and said awkwardly, "Should we first arrange the order of the games?"
The game "What's the time, Old Wolf?" requires them to line up in a line.
Lu Zhongnian: "I'll be the first one."
Mu Chenxi said calmly: "I'm second."
Mu Yu looked at the remaining people and said, "Then Su Mingyun, Jing Qiao, Huang Jiajia, and Hong Yang, the four of you will be in the middle, and Ma Er and I will be the rear guard, ok?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The time was almost up, and a new voice, male or female, echoed throughout the building.
"Game countdown——"
"three--"
"two--"
Everyone stood up and walked to the classroom door.
Huang Jiajia was very nervous and was shaking slightly.
Several veteran players tensed up and focused their attention.
Mu Yu pricked up his ears and listened carefully: "...I can't tell whether the sound came from downstairs or upstairs this time. Could it be that the hidden player is on the 4th floor again?"
"Are there really hidden players?" Su Mingyun whispered, "Last round, the rules said we had to find the 'ghost', but this round, there doesn't seem to be any such hint?"
Hong Yang said: "But this round of rules mentions 'old wolf' and 'old wolf's agent'."
Mu Yu nodded and thought: "If I guess correctly, the 'agent' should be the monster, and the 'old wolf' should be the hidden player. Although the rules say that the game will end when we clear the 'agent', I think our focus should be on finding the hidden player first. By the way, have you found any clues related to the hidden player?"
Everyone shook their heads in regret.
Mu Yu frowned: "Then you must pay attention to the movements of monsters in the game later."
If you don't find your friends who are hidden in the copy during the game, things may not be good.
"one--"
"--start!"
Eight people stepped out of the classroom door and looked at their phones together.
The map in the app instantly changed from flat to three-dimensional, and a circular cursor appeared at the end of the corridor on the east side of the sixth floor!
Go upstairs!
They rushed to the stairs and when they reached the 6th floor, Fu Xiaoju pointed to the left front: "The cursor is there!"
A circular cursor was flashing on the ground at the end of the corridor, and behind the cursor were eight bright white glowing thin line frames lined up in a row. Those were the positions assigned to them by the copy.
They rushed over and took their positions.
Lu Chongnian was in the lead, followed by Mu Chenxi, followed by Su Mingyun, Huang Jiajia, Hong Yang, Jing Qiao, and finally Mu Yu and Fu Xiaoju.
The first thing they did was to look around.
Huang Jiajia trembled and said, "Where is the 'safety line'? Why can't I see it at all?"
Lu Zhongnian said, "Maybe they won't show up until we officially start to escape. The rules say that the safety line is distributed throughout the building. I suggest that everyone should not run to one place at that time. Some people should go back and some people should go downstairs."
After saying this, he frowned and said, "I feel like I'm dying. I'll start first."
Everyone shut up and looked serious.
Lu Zhongnian shouted to the air: "Old Wolf, Old Wolf, what time is it?"
The indistinguishable male or female voice replied: "1 o'clock!"
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
I still can't tell whether the sound came from upstairs or downstairs... It seems that in this game, the copy deliberately blurred the location of the hidden player's voice.
After Lu Chongnian shouted, he walked to the end of the team, and the entire team moved forward one square.
Mu Chenxi shouted expressionlessly: "Old Wolf, Old Wolf, what time is it?"
“It’s 2 o’clock!”
Su Mingyun was the third, a little nervous: "Old Wolf, Old Wolf, what time is it?"
“It’s 3 o’clock!”
Huang Jiajia: "Old Wolf, Old Wolf, what time is it!"
“It’s 4 o’clock!”
The team continued to move forward in a tense atmosphere...
Hong Yang walked to the front and asked, "Old Wolf, Old Wolf, what time is it?"
"It's getting dark."
Everyone's expression changed.
Mu Yu immediately shouted, “Run!”
In an instant, Hong Yang, Jing Qiao and Fu Xiaoju, who were at the front of the line, rushed down the stairs!
Mu Yu, Lu Chongnian, Huang Jiajia, Mu Chenxi and Su Mingyun ran backwards, and a yellow cursor appeared in the middle of the corridor ahead!
Mu Yu looked back.
Right where they had lined up just now, some black paint on the ceiling slowly seeped out from the snow-white wall...the lines connected together to form a word.
【stupid】
The word "stupid" broke free from the ceiling and flew towards them!
Mu Yu turned around and saw five people rushing towards the yellow cursor at full speed!
"The other end of the yellow line is the safe zone!" Huang Jiajia kept reminding himself trembling all the way.
When he rushed behind the yellow line, he breathed a sigh of relief, secretly happy that this round of the game didn't seem to be very difficult... He slowed down and turned around.
…The word “stupid” kept chasing them.
“——Why?!” Huang Jiajia was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He ran faster and faster, howling with tears in his eyes, “Why is it still chasing us?!”
Mu Yu ran ahead of him breathlessly: "We have to stop in the 'safe zone'. There must be only a part of the area behind the safety line that is the safe zone. It's useless to rush out!"
Huang Jiajia: "Then why didn't you stop just now?!"
Mu Yu: "I wanted to give you this safety line, but who knew you would run forward too!"
Su Mingyun was embarrassed: "Can only one player use a safety line?"
Mu Yu was out of breath: "I guessed, you guys try it!"
Three cursors suddenly appeared in front.
A blue cursor is in the center;
Another blue cursor is at the classroom door on the left, coinciding with the threshold;
There is also a yellow cursor at the right classroom door, which also coincides with the threshold.
——But the yellow cursor cannot be used, because if the player steps over it, he will enter the classroom, which will violate the rules!
Mu Chenxi pushed Mu Yu and said, "Go to the blue cursor on the left!"
"Brother!" Mu Yu shouted anxiously.
"Don't worry about me."
Mu Yu stopped in front of the blue cursor at the left classroom door, while Mu Chenxi and Lu Zhongnian continued to rush forward.
Su Mingyun and Huang Jiajia rushed to the blue cursor in the middle of the corridor and stopped.
The two turned around and saw the word "stupid" looming above their heads, with a left stroke and a right stroke hanging down, about to wrap around their necks...
They both cursed in their hearts!
--no!
One cursor can only protect one player!
Su Mingyun gritted his teeth, quickly took out the correction fluid, squeezed it hard, and shot it into the air!
The white liquid flew out in an arc, just cutting through the word "傻" (stupid). Suddenly, the word split into two halves!
Su Mingyun's eyes lit up: "Correction fluid works!"
…The two halves of the font paused, then moved separately.
Su Mingyun: “…It’s split, ahhhhh!”
She rushed forward!
Huang Jiajia blushed and held out Erkang's hand: "Hey, this is the safety line!"
"——You use it!" Su Mingyun screamed.
Only she, Lu Chongnian and Mu Chenxi were left.
A blue cursor suddenly appeared at the door of the classroom in front of them. Lu Zhongnian and Mu Chenxi said to Su Mingyun at the same time: "You go."
Su Mingyun didn't hesitate and stopped in front of the blue cursor. Then he quickly shook the correction fluid, squeezed out a large blob, and threw it into the air with force!
The correction fluid just happened to be thrown onto the upper part of the word "傻", and the word stopped moving...
It twitched twice, and then the black lines that were not blocked by the correction fluid fell off...
"One has been solved!" Su Mingyun said excitedly.
And the remaining half word was still chasing after Mu Chenxi and Lu Zhongnian.
A white line appeared ahead.
[If you encounter lines of other colors, step on them to enter the safe zone. ]
Mu Chenxi turned his head and said indifferently: "Go step on this line."
Lu Zhongnian's eyes moved slightly: "Brother..."
"I'm not your brother." Mu Chenxi frowned.
Lu Zhongnian: “…”
"Don't let me talk any more nonsense, or you won't have the chance to call me brother again in this life."
Lu Zhongnian: “…………”
He obediently stepped on the white line and stopped where he was.
They had already reached the west end of the 6th floor. Mu Chenxi said that, turned a corner and rushed down the stairs!
The remaining half word passed Lu Zhongnian, chased Mu Chenxi and disappeared from the sight of all of them.
…
As soon as Mu Chenxi reached the stairs, he saw a glowing yellow line lying on the step below.
Without hesitation, he rushed to the step behind the yellow line and turned around.
The half word floated down the stairs and floated towards him without slowing down at all.
Mu Chenxi stared at it and took a step back.
The incomplete characters were still approaching him eagerly.
He stretched his legs back... then paused, slowly pulling them back.
Mu Chenxi chuckled and said, "If I move back any further, you can really catch me, right?"
Half a word suddenly froze in mid-air.
A cold feeling lingered around Mu Chenxi, but he remained calm and smiled contentedly.
…The half word slowly sank and melted into the ground.
Mu Yu's voice came from a distance: "Brother?"
"I'm here, it's okay," Mu Chenxi said lazily, "Don't shout."
…
A minute later, everyone's cell phone vibrated. When they picked it up, they saw that it was the "Polytechnic Campus Navigation" app prompting them and a new cursor appeared.
This round is over.
And the new cursor is on the 5th floor.
The five people on the 6th floor quickly came downstairs and met up with Hong Yang, Fu Xiaoju and Jing Qiao.
Mu Yu asked: "It took you so long to find the safety line just now?"
Hong Yang panted and said, "No, we found the safety line a long time ago. I wanted to share the firepower with you, so I never went over. Later, the half word came down, and Jing Qiao and I tried correction tape and eraser, but these two things were useless! The remaining half word should appear again later."
"Then only correction fluid is effective?" Su Mingyun was surprised.
Lu Zhongnian reminded: "Line up first."
They quickly stood in their respective frames.
The feeling of impending death forced Lu Zhongnian to immediately start shouting "Old Wolf, Old Wolf, what time is it?" Everyone moved forward while taking the time to discuss.
Fu Xiaoju said, "Then the only thing we can do next is to try the 'Lucky Wheel' we discussed before?"
"?" Mu Yu, "What is that?"
Fu Xiaoju explained, "While you were asleep, we were discussing what to do once we had determined which item would be useful. There must be more than one monster, and there's only one bottle of correction fluid, which isn't available in the vending machine, but doesn't it have an item called 'Lucky Wheel'?"
This prop is just as its name suggests, a small yellow disc with a needle stuck in the middle. In theory, you should get the prize for the square you turn it to.
But the problem is that there is no prize marking on the small yellow disc.
Because it is too confusing and seems not very practical, no one has touched this thing so far.
Mu Yu remembered: "Do you think that prop can help us transfer out the correction fluid?"
Lu Zhongnian said: "You can give it a try."
He had already lined up at the end of the line. "So far, the vending machines are on the 3rd, 4th, and 6th floors. Later, some of you can go upstairs and some can go downstairs. When you find an opportunity, try the item. If it doesn't work, we'll talk about it later."
Huang Jiajia said weakly: "By the way, where is the hidden player? Now I can't tell where the voice of 'Old Wolf' comes from..."
Mu Yu pondered, "Just now the monsters chased us first, and waited until we were all behind the safety line before going to the 5th floor. We can see later which group of players the monsters will chase first in this round."
After another round, they should be able to determine which floor the monsters are most nervous about.
Having said that, Mu Yu has already arrived at the front of the team.
He cleared his throat and called out, "Old Wolf, Old Wolf, what time is it?"
The indistinguishable male or female voice paused for a second.
"…It's…dark."
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
The sound became painful?
Without time to think, Mu Yu, Fu Xiaoju and Lu Chongnian rushed straight upstairs, Mu Chenxi, Su Mingyun and Huang Jiajia turned around and ran to the back of the corridor, while Jing Qiao and Hong Yang went downstairs.
Mu Yu looked back the moment he stepped onto the stairs.
The lower half of the word "stupid" emerged from the ceiling and wall again, following them.
In addition, a new character appeared - "gua".
The word "gua" chased Hong Yang and the others down the stairs.
——The monster is playing tricks?
Did they deliberately split their forces into two groups to blur their vision?
By the way, who wrote the word "idiot"? Who are they scolding?
Mu Yu turned around and rushed upstairs with all his strength.
As soon as they reached the 6th floor, they saw two glowing safety lines running across the middle of the corridor.
One blue line and one green line!
The two security lines are still some distance away from the vending machine in the middle of the corridor, so they can’t redeem the lucky wheel while staying in the safe zone!
Mu Yu frowned: "The pace of this round of the game is too tight, we may not have the opportunity to use the vending machine."
It would be better if they could prepare all the props during class time, but he could also understand why Lu Zhongnian and the others chose not to do so.
After all, they didn't know what could kill the monster, and they were not sure how to use the lucky wheel. In this case, if they rashly exchanged that thing, it would probably be a waste of demon coins.
"Yes, this has been considered before. Using props is just one of the strategies," Lu Zhongnian said methodically. "In fact, judging from the current results, the attributes of these monsters have been clearly identified."
Fu Xiaoju didn't catch up with his train of thought for a moment: "Wh, huh, what attribute?"
Mu Yu thought quickly: "Were they written with a fountain pen?"
Lu Zhongnian: "Yes."
The correction tape probably doesn't work because there is no fulcrum in the air, and you can't pull it out by hand.
But the fact that eraser doesn't work, but correction fluid does, proves one fact.
——These font monsters are not written with pencils, but with pens!
If it's fountain pen ink...
Mu Yu's eyes turned.
Lu Zhongnian said to them at this time: "You two go to the safety line."
Mu Yu just frowned, and Lu Zhongnian lowered his voice and whispered to him: "I have good physical strength."
So I can hold on.
Mu Yu: “…………”
His face was flushed with shame and confusion.
He pursed his lips and stopped in front of the blue line with a red face, while Fu Xiaoju stepped on the green line.
Fu Xiaoju took a breath and said, "What does Brother Lu want to do—uh, cough!"
The half word actually stopped above his head, and a stroke hung down from the air and wrapped around his neck.
Mu Yu was stunned, thought for a moment, and immediately said, "Green is a mixture of yellow and blue. When several colors appear together, yellow has the highest priority. Horse, you have to step over it!"
Fu Xiaoju's face turned red from being strangled. He pulled the black line wrapped around his neck with his hands and struggled to cross to the other end of the green line!
Suddenly, the finger loosened.
Fu Xiaoju fell to his knees on the ground, covering his neck and coughing desperately. There were horrible marks of strangulation on his neck.
"Oh, damn... this is such a crappy copy, cough cough cough!" He still had a lingering fear on his face.
That half word decisively left the two of them behind and chased after Lu Chongnian.
Lu Zhongnian kept running forward and did not stop even when he reached the safety line.
Mu Yu frowned and looked at his back.
"Lu, what on earth does Brother Lu want to do?" Fu Xiaoju said in a hoarse voice.
Lu Zhongnian had already run to the end of the corridor.
Then he turned around and went into the public toilet.
