Chapter 39: Club Recruitment (Sixteen)
In an instant, Mu Yu's neck was strangled to the point where he had difficulty breathing, and a circle of white marks were left on his wrist by the bracelet.
Niao Ge and Yu Hui were the same as him - Yu Hui pulled off the wig on her head in panic as if she was under a spell, while Niao Ge covered his stomach and was almost vomiting because of the green leaf waist ornament on Big Baby's head.
At this rate, if they couldn't find a solution, they would be torn into pieces by these clothes and jewelry within a minute or two!
"What does this number mean?!" Bird Brother shouted hoarsely while enduring the pain, "Is it a task for us to complete?"
Mu Yu pulled at the necklace that was getting tighter and tighter, and a thought flashed through his mind: "The goal of our club is--"
Yu Hui shouted with difficulty: "——Cosplay classic animation characters, strive to let the audience recognize which work it is at a glance, gain their recognition and love!"
The three of them realized at the same time—
Does 0/100 refer to the audience's recognition or love? !
Never mind, let’s rush out first!
They got up and ran out of the alley, rushing onto the sidewalk where pedestrians were coming and going.
The blazing sunlight poured down, illuminating the figures of the three people clearly.
The passers-by were frightened by them, and the three of them were also shocked when they looked around.
——Diagonally across the street is clearly the main entrance of their University of Science and Technology!
No wonder they felt familiar with it just now, this is the place they pass by every day on their way to and from school!
It was probably the end of a class, and countless students were pouring out of the school gate. Some were walking slowly while chatting with their textbooks, while others were riding their bicycles at a high speed.
Everyone passing by was attracted by this place and looked over.
Both Niao Ge and Mu Yu's outfits are eye-catching.
Brother Bird is a 1.8-meter-tall man wearing a cardigan vest in a bright peach pink color, which is a real visual shock.
Although Mu Yu's snake tail on his lower body was torn by him, his outfit was already very gorgeous. The key point was that he looked like a boy at first glance, and he was totally a crossdresser.
Not to mention Yu Hui, a beautiful girl wearing strange old man's clothes, the role allocation among these three people is very strange.
But the students didn't know that this was a copy game and just thought they were having fun, so they stopped and picked up their phones with surprise and laughter.
A girl shouted, "It's Calabash Brothers!"
In Mu Yu and the others' vision, 0/100 instantly became 1/100.
Their pupils suddenly contracted.
——The key word is “Huluwa”?
As long as a hundred people can shout out the three words "Huluwa", can they pass the level? !
Mu Yu immediately took off his glasses and asked a couple not far away: "Can you tell what we are cosplaying?"
The boy was stunned and said with a smile: "Of course I recognize it, it's the Calabash Brothers!"
Girl: "Hey, why is this photo so blurry? Hurry up and take it again!"
2/100
"Hahaha, why do you want to cosplay Calabash Brothers?"
3/100
"Huluwa can!"
"Why are your hands so shaky? The photo is so blurry."
4/100
There were discussions coming from all around, and the occasional shouts of "Huluwa" made the numbers in Mu Yu and the others' field of vision begin to rise at a snail's pace.
After confirming that the key words were these three words, Yu Hui and Niao Ge immediately followed Mu Yu's method and tried to use words to induce the pedestrians to say them out loud.
But this way of interaction was too dry, and not all the onlookers around cooperated. Most of them just watched and took pictures with a smile.
"No, this is too slow and we won't be in time!" Yu Hui said with difficulty.
The clothes they were wearing had deformed their bodies, and her and Bird Brother's necks and faces were flushed red.
Standing under the scorching sun, they could clearly feel the temperature rising. They were like a balloon filled with air, which could explode at any time under the dual effects of external force and high temperature.
And those watching seemed completely unaware of their pain.
They were talking and laughing, looking forward to it, not only did they not notice that their faces looked ugly, but they didn't even notice that the clothes and jewelry they were wearing were embedded in their bodies at a strange angle.
Mu Yu was sweating and thinking intently.
Is this an illusion or reality?
If it was an illusion, why did those pedestrians seem to have no clear photos of them, as if the copy was intentionally blurring their images?
If this is real, why can't the pedestrians notice their abnormality?
Or should I say——
Mu Yu calmed down and observed, and suddenly saw Jing Qiao standing far away from the crowd, holding up his phone and taking pictures of them...?
His gaze suddenly froze, and the words that Jing Qiao had said in the WeChat group today flashed through his mind.
"When I went to school today, I saw someone cosplaying as Calabash Brothers on the street, and there were a lot of people watching!"
"They even sang the theme song together [covering face] I don't know if this is a way for the cosplay club to recruit new members, it's quite novel."
——This is a combination of reality and illusion!
He knows how to crack this level!
However, the next second, Mu Yu's expression became strange again.
He held his breath and said to Bird Brother and Yu Hui carefully: "...Hold on, I'm going to start first. Don't be too surprised later. Cooperate with me if you can."
Bird Brother and Yu Hui: "Huh...Huh...Ah? You...Huh...What are you going to start?!"
Mu Yu took a step forward, faced the crowd of onlookers, took a deep breath... and then he suddenly sang loudly:
"Calabash Brothers, Calabash Brothers, seven flowers on one vine!"
“I’m not afraid of wind or rain, la la la la!”
"?!" Niao Ge and Yu Hui almost fell down.
The onlookers were in an uproar.
Why are you still singing?
The number in the field of vision remains at 4/100.
——No, this alone won’t work!
Mu Yu raised his hands and signaled everyone to sing with him: "Dingdangdang Dongdongdangdang——"
He put his hand to his ear.
The crowd was stunned for a moment, and a few girls quickly understood what was going on and shouted in unison: "—— Calabash Brothers!"
13/100
Brother Niao and Yu Hui were shocked - this trick worked!
Mu Yu once again: "Dingdangdangdongdongdongdangdang——"
More onlookers: "Huluwa!!"
38/100
Mu Yu seemed to be the singer who was best at interacting with the audience at the music festival. He tried his best to shout: "One more time, ding-dang-dang-dong-dong-dang-dang——"
The onlookers, Bird Brother, and Yu Hui were heartbroken: "—— Calabash Brothers!!!"
56/100
Everyone pointed their fingers to the sky: "One more time!"
The entrance of the Polytechnic University suddenly became a mysterious disco scene.
No one knew how all this happened. It was not yet dark, and everyone seemed to be joining in the fun. Even the vehicles passing by on both sides stopped.
The driver and the passengers leaned out and looked at the circle at the school gate in confusion. A group of young and outstanding students were jumping and shouting:
"Ding-dang-dang! Calabash Brothers!"
76/100
"One more time - ding-dong-dong-dong-dong, Calabash Brothers!"
89/100
"Ding-dang-dang, dong-dong-dang-dang, great skills! La-la-la!"
"Huluwa——"
96/100
"The Calabash Brothers are very capable!"
103/100
[Please move to the unmanned area within three seconds]
Mu Yu, Niao Ge and Yu Hui turned around and ran away.
Brother Bird fell to the ground, blood oozing from his waist. Mu Yu picked him up and continued to rush forward!
The three of them had splitting headaches. Their heads were completely deformed and they could almost hear the "click" and "click" sounds of their bones being squeezed and broken. They also had severe double vision in front of their eyes.
The moment they rushed into the alley, they all fell to the ground, their vision went black, and the feeling of weightlessness came over them again!
——
Mu Yu took a deep breath.
After opening his eyes, he quickly got up from the ground and looked around vigilantly.
They have returned to the community union office, and their clothes and jewelry have returned to their normal tightness.
Brother Bird choked several times, his face turned pale, and when he pulled open the waist ornament on his stomach, he saw that his waist was severely sunken, but fortunately there was no tearing and bleeding like before.
The same thing happened on the heads of the three of them - there were terrifyingly deep indentations, but the deformation of the skulls was not as severe as before.
They made it through the level and survived!
At this moment, there were still only three of them in the community union office.
The three chairs were empty, with only a cold gaze lingering around them.
"Can we, can we go get the stamp now?" Yu Hui asked as she took out her crumpled application form from her inner pocket.
Mu Yu took the forms from her and Bird Brother, stood up and put the three forms on the desk, picked up the seal and "clicked", "clicked", and "clicked" three QR codes, then scanned them in front of the lottery box.
Just like what Fu Xiaoju said, only the first application form that was scanned could be exchanged for a master key, the next two forms would be useless.
Mu Yu didn't bother with the key, but walked directly around the three desks and went to the row of cabinets at the back.
Niao Ge and Yu Hui quickly followed: "We can't go open it now, right?"
"Well, I just want to take a look."
Mu Yu had no intention of opening the drawer this time, but since it had passed the review, there was no need for them to leave in a hurry. It would be better to observe it carefully.
These cabinets look exactly the same and are completely enclosed and light-proof.
According to Ye Sui, the school newspapers from January to August this year are placed in the bottom drawer of the first cabinet from the left on this wall.
Mu Yu's gaze dropped downwards.
In the field of vision, two drawers are in a row, and eight drawers are divided into four rows in total, upper and lower.
There are no labels or notes on the outside of these drawers. They are just a cold, metallic silver-gray color, leaving no clues at all.
Yu Hui swallowed and whispered, "When I think that the monster generator might be in one of these eight drawers, I feel very uncomfortable."
The thing that determines whether they can leave the copy safely is probably right in front of them. It is clearly within their reach, but they are restricted by the rules and cannot open it directly.
This feeling is really bad.
Mu Yu let out a breath.
He looked around again, and was surrounded by cold, closed filing cabinets. He really couldn't find any clues at all.
It seems that we still need to focus our efforts on the two floors below.
He could only say, "Let's go down."
*
They went back downstairs and knocked on the door to inform their friends.
Lu Zhongnian walked out and frowned when he saw Mu Yu and the others.
Fu Xiaoju has completed another change of club application and has become the president of the Small Animal Protection Club. He is in classroom 203 with Ye Suizhen.
——Moreover, he also began to transform into a beast.
Mu Yu had expected this.
After Ye Sui finished talking about their group's assessment experience just now, he understood what Ye Sui was talking about as a method to crack this level.
It's half-beast.
If the player enters that illusion in a complete human form, he will be recognized, attacked, and drowned by the animals immediately, leaving no intact body, just like Hao Jia.
But if the bestiality is excessive, then after entering that illusion, the player can easily be completely assimilated into an animal and lose his human will, just like Qi Shan.
Only by accurately controlling the progress of animalization at halfway can they make it possible to make those animals less hostile to them, while allowing them to retain their sanity, complete the task, and pass the assessment.
——The reason why Ye Sui was able to survive the last time was probably because he had become a little bit beastly and was able to avoid being chased by some animals.
But that's not enough.
This time they got two blank tickets again, and all preparations started from the beginning. They had to master the degree of beastification.
Mu Yu warned: "Be careful, don't overdo it."
Fu Xiaoju said, "I know."
Mu Yu, Niao Ge and Yu Hui returned to classroom 201 and were finally able to sit down and rest for a while.
Mu Yu took off all the accessories and wigs on her body, took off the snake spirit's dress, changed back into her own clothes, and sighed comfortably.
Then he looked at the time. It was already 8:45.
Fu Xiaoju just said that he had searched on the first floor for a long time but found nothing. So, where is the key clue?
There’s nothing on the first floor, and there’s nothing on the third floor, so it must be on the second floor?
If it's on the second floor, then it's most likely in one of their five classrooms, right?
Mu Yu stood up and planned to check their classroom again.
Niao Ge and Yu Hui also jumped up and looked for it with him.
They moved the messy props again, not leaving out any corner, and almost lay on the wall and the ground, checking every inch.
"Come to think of it, did the monster on the ceiling never appear again?" Yu Hui suddenly asked, "Lu Zhongnian and the others never mentioned it, did they?"
"No, and we haven't figured out why some classrooms have that small door and some don't. This may be the most critical issue now, right?" Brother Bird tried hard to analyze.
Yu Hui: "It's very strange. Since we can't push this door, what's the point of the monster being behind it? It can't get out, so why does the dungeon have this trick?"
“That’s what I mean. I don’t understand.”
Mu Yu stood up after listening to their conversation, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and fell into thought.
He reviewed in his mind all the rules that had appeared in this copy so far.
Rules are sometimes clues, containing hidden hints.
How many rules have been proven so far? Which rules have not yet been implemented?
While he was thinking there, Yu Hui suddenly discovered something and uttered a surprised voice: "Huh?...Ah, come and look here!"
Niao Ge and Mu Yu turned around.
Yu Hui was lying in the corner diagonally opposite them, with her back to them, waving frantically.
The two men calmed down and walked over quickly.
Yu Hui quickly wiped away the dust on the ground with her hands, and quickly drew a rectangular frame along the ground with her fingers, and asked in shock -
"Look, isn't this a small door?!"
Mu Yu and Niao Ge were stunned.
On the ground, where Yu Hui pointed, there seemed to be four extremely thin and inconspicuous cracks, forming a complete rectangle!
Bird Brother was stunned: "Really, it is, but - how could it be on the ground?!"
Mu Yu was also a little surprised.
It turns out that their classroom didn’t have a small door, but the small door was opened on the ground...
……Why?
Mu Yu stared for a while, knelt down, and reached out to touch the door.
...Which rules have not yet come into play?
An idea popped into his mind and he slowly pushed his hand down.
Bird brother stopped him in surprise: "You will be sucked in."
"But I didn't feel the suction," Mu Yu's heartbeat quickened, "It's okay, Brother Bird, let go and let me try."
Bird brother opened his mouth and loosened his hand, and Mu Yu pushed down decisively.
The small door used the left side as the axis, and the whole door opened downwards with a "click".
A dark cave leading to an unknown place appeared before the three of them.
