Chapter 77 Daily Life (XI)
In the group.
Jiang Shuyue: “?”
Jing Qiao: “……?”
Chang Sen: "Damn, another copy appeared again?"
Jiang Shuyue: "Where is @Muyu going this time? Polytechnic or outside?"
Jiang Shuyue: "I feel like I can just follow you from now on, you can get in every time [幽幽.jpg]"
Mu Yu: "Don't you want to be honest with us while playing the dungeon..."
Jiang Shuyue: “????”
Jing Qiao: "Wait, this means..."
Jiang Shuyue: "…………Is it really in your District 1 bathhouse this time?!!"
Fu Xiaoju: "[smoking and sighing.jpg]"
Bird Brother: "I will never go to that bathhouse again..."
Chang Sen: "Fuck, you three are all in? Then your copy is not, very embarrassing [blush]"
Fu Xiaoju: "What a shy bastard, I'm just fighting with the soap..."
Su Mingyun: "Wow, so exciting? [curious.jpg]"
Fu Xiaoju: “?”
Jing Qiao: "Did you pick up soap from the monster? [curious.jpg]"
Fu Xiaoju: "[shooting like crazy with salted fish.gif][Godzilla roars.gif]"
[“Muyu” invited “Liuyu” to join the group chat]
[“Mu Yu” invited “Zhao Anyi” to join the group chat]
Liu Yu: "Hello everyone [be good]"
Zhao Anyi: "Hello everyone [Shocked] Why are there so many people in this group..."
Chang Sen: "Because this is already the fourth instance, there are many victims..."
Jiang Shuyue: "@Dou, remember to change this classmate's full name. Our group will occasionally have offline gatherings, so it's best for everyone to get to know each other in advance~"
Dou Yunsheng: "@Jiang Shuyue OK, revised."
Chang Sen: "..."
Li Ke: “…”
Su Mingyun: “…………”
Jing Qiao: “…………”
Jiang Shuyue: "What are you doing?"
Chang Sen: "My eyes are clear, right?"
Li Ke: "I don't know if your eyes are blurry or not, but my eyes should be normal..."
Chang Sen: "My memory is correct, right?"
Li Ke: "I don't know if your memory is wrong or not, but my memory is normal. I remember this name..."
Chang Sen: "………………"
Su Mingyun: “[holding face in fear.jpg]”
Jing Qiao: "[Soul out of body.jpg]"
Jiang Shuyue: "What happened to you guys?!"
The others screamed so loudly that it overflowed the screen: "………………Principal Dou?!!"
*
Mu Yu’s private chat list instantly exploded with messages.
The group was in an uproar, but on the surface it was calm.
On the surface, the group even fell into a kind of peace and tranquility as if a collective peaceful death had occurred.
Only Mu Yu knew that all the small fish were actually fried out, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
After taking a shower, Zhao Anyi, Liu Yu and Bird Brother returned to the dormitory, and Mu Yu walked Principal Dou for a while.
He is the person who has participated in the most copies, and is most suitable to serve as the narrator of the entire copy event and chat about these things with Principal Dou.
As the time grew later, there were not many students wandering outside the dormitory building.
Mu Yu and Principal Dou walked slowly and did not attract much attention along the way.
Principal Dou laughed and said, "They will feel uncomfortable if I join the group, right?"
"They are just embarrassed. Actually, they are all your fans," Mu Yu smiled and replied to the private messages one by one, telling them to talk later. Then he turned off the screen and raised his head and said, "And you are already one of us."
They often discuss matters related to the copy in the group, so how could they exclude Principal Dou?
The guys who sent him private messages at this moment were just shocked and curious, not afraid of Principal Dou - Principal Dou was usually a humble person and was always very popular among students.
Chang Sen even sighed to him, if he had known earlier, he would have taken that bath. After all, Principal Dou was a symbol of security, a man among men. He really wanted to experience what it felt like to enter a dungeon with Principal Dou...
After hearing this, Principal Dou laughed for a while and then looked at the ground beneath his feet.
This land that he was most familiar with, this land where he had taken root as a seedling and grew into a big tree that bore fruit, has become something very unfamiliar to him.
The reflected world flickers and spins silently.
And on the day when the two worlds align...
"...Student Lu is also willing to accept that result?"
Mu Yu paused slightly.
The meaning of Principal Dou’s question is very clear.
If one day the two worlds are aligned, the worlds will really overlap, and only people who exist in both worlds can continue to exist. Then, will Lu Chongnian be willing to accept such a result like him?
Mu Yu clutched the note in his trouser pocket.
Just now when he was changing clothes in the locker room, he had secretly opened the note and read it.
Recalling what Lu Chongnian had written above, Mu Yu smiled.
He raised his head and said to Principal Dou, "Principal, only if we stop the 'copy game', there will be hope."
Regardless of whether their speculation would come true or not, regardless of whether he and Lu Chongnian would really disappear together, they had to go in that direction.
Because that is the only place where you can see the light, and the only place where everyone can be liberated together.
Regardless of whether there will be hesitation and regret in the process, he and Lu Chongnian will definitely move forward firmly until the day they push open the door to the truth.
And if the ending is really death, then the two of them should at least figure out what happened on that day that was extremely important to them that caused such a drastic change in their lives.
Principal Dou looked at the boy in front of him.
A pair of glasses rests on the boy's fair and clean face, but the lenses cannot hide his sharp and powerful gaze.
Principal Dou looked at it for a while and couldn't help but sigh that over the years, this land has never lacked young seedlings full of youthful vitality and potential.
However, he hadn't seen such a seedling that was so full of vitality and fearlessness, as if it wanted to grow infinitely taller and even break through the sky for many years.
He retracted his gaze and said in a gentle voice: "You will survive only if you are in danger. I have always believed in this saying."
Mu Yu's heart moved slightly.
"Death is not necessarily true death, and despair is not necessarily a hopeless situation. Only brave people can be the first to find their own paradise," Principal Dou smiled at him, "I have always used this sentence to encourage myself, and we can encourage each other in the future."
Having said that, he stopped.
They had already arrived at the entrance of dormitory area 1, and Principal Dou checked the time on his mobile phone.
"I have to fly to the capital for a meeting tomorrow. I may be busy for the rest of the time, so I may not be able to enter the dungeon with you. If there is anything you need my help with, you can always tell me," Principal Dou thought for a moment and said, "I may send you something in a few days. Remember to sign for it."
"Okay, thank you Principal Dou!" Although Mu Yu was puzzled, he still agreed.
He tilted his head and said, "Principal, you are quite receptive to this kind of weird and supernatural things."
Principal Dou laughed out loud and said, "I encountered things that science can't explain when I was very young."
"real?!"
"Yes, that happened when I was six years old. If it weren't for that day, I might not be who I am today," Principal Dou sighed. "This world is far more magical and mysterious than we imagine, so no matter what, we must remain awed and humble."
"Well, it's getting late, you should go back and rest early."
"Okay, Principal Dou, be careful on the road."
Principal Dou took a step forward and turned back to say, "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. Actually, there is one thing about this dungeon today that I still haven't figured out. But since it doesn't seem to hinder cracking the dungeon, I didn't mention it just now. I just thought of asking you now. You have entered the dungeon many times, so you may have seen that thing before."
Mu Yu asked in confusion: "What do you mean...?"
"What's 'hee hee'?"
Mu Yu was stunned: "...what?"
Principal Dou recalled: "When I stepped into the world inside the wall, for a moment these two words seemed to appear in the air."
"Just like the barrage in the video, it disappeared in the blink of an eye, and I never saw it again. I wonder if it's the same as the sense of sight that you mentioned that appears in every copy, which also appears in every copy..."
He noticed Mu Yu's suddenly serious expression and paused: "...You haven't seen it before?"
"...No," Mu Yu clenched his hands, "Principal Dou, could you please describe the situation in more detail?"
*
“——‘Hehe’? What the hell is this?”
Three nights later, everyone gathered at the board game hall.
Wang Jia and Xu Dong were too busy with schoolwork to attend, while Young Master Yan was busy making money...
Mu Yu told everyone what Principal Dou had mentioned that day, and everyone was confused.
Two black words "Hee Hee" appeared in the air? What is this?
Jiang Shuyue was a little confused for a moment: "Are you sure this barrage-like thing is not part of your dungeon that day?"
——Just ignored?
Mu Yu shook his head confidently: "The logic of the entire instance that day was actually very simple. I reviewed it several times in the past few days and I don't think I missed anything."
Fu Xiaoju was also wondering: "Besides, what effect can the two words 'hehe' have? Are these two words sure not to be some invisible monster mocking us?"
Zhao Anyi: "...The only monster in the dungeon that day was the octopus monster, right?"
...It seems that there are no other invisible monsters?
Fu Xiaoju: "Yeah, so I think the appearance of these two words has nothing to do with our copy that day?"
"Isn't that what it is..." Li Ke said weakly, "Isn't it the same as the sense of sight that appears in every dungeon..."
...are traces left behind by some unknown "existence" that is independent of the copy.
The whole table fell silent instantly.
Although they already knew that there was a mastermind behind all the copies, they still felt a sense of weirdness and discomfort when the other party's presence became more and more visible.
Especially these two words - they are different from the sense of sight. These two simple and tiny words seem to let them catch a glimpse of each other's grinning mouth inadvertently, and let them hear the mocking and condescending laughter like a spectator.
...It's kind of creepy and disgusting.
Ye Sui and Hong Yang sat next to Mu Yu, and they just listened without saying anything.
Hong Yang suddenly asked, "The sense of sight has been around since the first instance, right? But this 'monster barrage' has only appeared in the fourth instance, what does this mean?"
"Does it mean," he asked unhappily, "that the person behind the copy is becoming more and more powerful?"
Ye Sui lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Not necessarily. In fact, even in the instance that Ayu and the others just experienced, only Principal Dou saw the monster barrage among the eight people. So it's hard to say whether this type of barrage has appeared in the first three instances. Maybe someone has already seen it, but--"
——Later they died in the dungeon, so they had no chance to tell them what they had seen.
Su Mingyun's eyes widened: "It's possible! Maybe this barrage is the same as the sight, and it actually appeared from the first copy!"
"I think the problem is," Mu Yu said, "regardless of whether this monster barrage has appeared since the first instance, the fact that it has only come into our sight now may already be a clear signal."
He said to everyone: "In the bathhouse instance, a false rule appeared in the general rules. This has never happened before. It only appeared in this instance."
In the first three copies, the general rules were always true and were rules they could trust.
They have also deduced that the general rules are likely to be a safety net set up for them by forces on the players' side.
However, there are now holes in this safety net.
what does that mean?
Could it be that the power protecting them is gradually weakening, while the power of the copy is gradually growing stronger?
There was silence at the table, and everyone felt a chill at the possibility.
After Mu Yu finished speaking, he saw that everyone's expressions were a little stiff, and he felt that he had to ease the atmosphere.
He thought for a moment, sat up straight and said, "In fact, I have been thinking about one thing these days. After all, barrage is actually the comments made by the 'audience' when watching the video, right? And the sight we feel in each copy is very similar to an invisible camera? So, is this whole thing like this-"
"A certain high-dimensional creature created a copy and threw us players into it. He set up cameras one by one to track us."
"We are the performers. One of them is our protector, and the other is the invader and scene builder. And they are just ordinary spectators, who post comments when they like."
"So to put it bluntly, this matter is not that -" It's terrifying when you think about it?
Seeing that everyone's faces were livid, Mu Yu silently zipped up his mouth.
Chang Sen cursed: "Have we become reality show actors? They love watching it so much, do they want to watch the middle finger of humans?"
Jing Qiao was equally indignant: "That's it!"
Su Mingyun suddenly had an idea: "Hey, what do you think? If we pour a basin of water in the direction where the sight comes from..."
Jiang Shuyue: "Everyone calm down, calm down."
Li Ke: "…Why not throw a basin of shit on it!"
Jiang Shuyue: “…” What outrageous words are you saying in such a weak tone!
Mu Yu unzipped his mouth again and started to chatter: "To be honest, we can't carry knives with us because it's inconvenient. Then wouldn't it be even more inconvenient to carry shit with us? We can use pepper spray instead."
Jiang Shuyue stared at him with eyes wide open—Why even you!
Ye Sui commented seriously: "But the pepper spray was poured on the camera, and they themselves would not feel the pain. Come to think of it, we are at a loss."
Jiang Shuyue: “…” Why even you!
Mu Yu nodded and agreed, "That's right, I lost the money for a bottle of chili oil."
Hong Yang's eyes lit up: "I got it! We can prepare some paintings in advance, such as paintings of them being splashed with shit, paintings of them being blinded by chili oil, and then when we feel the sight coming, we can blur the paintings and let them watch a horror movie!"
Su Mingyun: "Yes, yes, yes, we can draw it a little more disgusting, so that they can be immersed in the scene at a glance!"
Jing Qiao: "It can make them lose a lot of sanity, and feel like they are being mentally polluted!"
Bird Brother: "Who among us has the painting skills? It's not convenient to find an artist online. After all, this involves the dungeon..."
Jiang Shuyue held it in for a while, but finally gave up and raised his hand, saying, "I'll draw. I've learned it. I'm a professional!"
Mu Yu sighed: "Xiao Jiang finally caught up with the team."
Everyone: "Okay, okay, then you will be the soul painter of our team, and the task of disgusting them will also be given to you!"
*
When it comes to painting, Jiang Shuyue is serious.
From that day on, he began to create in seclusion.
At first, everyone was curious and looked around, but later, when they saw Jiang Shuyue had disappeared without a trace, they all decided to wait until the day when Jiang Shuyue's masterpiece was completed before they could shut up and marvel at it.
In the next few days, everyone was discussing one thing.
——It has been confirmed that paper can enter and exit the copy freely and is not affected by time reversal.
Similarly, if one more person in this world remembers Lu Chongnian, the spin of the reflected world will be accelerated. This is also a certainty.
So, what is Lu Zhongnian’s world like?
If someone in the world he is in can remember Mu Yu, will the two worlds move closer to each other faster?
With this thought in mind, everyone started writing letters - letters to themselves in another world.
They planned to give all these letters to Mu Yu, because Mu Yu was the only one who entered the dungeon every time and could see Lu Chongnian every time, so it would be safest to give the letters to him!
Mu·Little Postman·Yu looked at the letters flying towards him and felt a little overwhelmed.
He flipped through the letters, and most of them were of normal thickness...
Jiang Shuyue's letter was a bit thick, considering his personality... I can understand it... Bird Brother's letter was also a bit thick... considering his personality... it was normal... Fu Xiaoju's letter was a full centimeter thick, and there was a tear mark on the envelope... ah? No, what on earth did this guy write to himself in another world? !
Principal Dou sent a message to Mu Yu a week after being on a business trip.
"Mr. Muyu:
Whether the differences between the two worlds are mainly concentrated on the people related to the copy, I think it still needs to be verified in practice.
I sent you a document and a letter. The document contains a sample survey of some people's activities and deaths in the university town. When you enter the dungeon next time, you can directly give these two things to classmate Lu and ask him to help pass them on to me in that world. Thank you for your hard work. "
The courier was delivered the next day.
The letter from Principal Dou was a thin envelope, but the brown paper bag was quite thick.
Mu Yu didn't touch them. He just put the two things into his backpack and carried them with him.
I was idle for the next few days.
It's always like this. The first few days after a copy is over are often when everyone is most active. During this period, everyone is like they've been injected with chicken blood, some are excited, some are cursing.
When the excitement passed, everyone quieted down and began to wait for the next copy to appear.
Mu Yu's brother called him.
His brother's name is Mu Chenxi. He is a cardiac surgery doctor in Xinlian City First Hospital and a very outstanding person.
When he was in college - his brother graduated from Xinlian Medical University - he was among the top students and was a well-known figure in the whole school. After he started working, he was also very popular among school leaders in the highly competitive First Hospital.
Mu Yu has always felt that his family has good genes. Both his brother and sister Mu Chenxing have very high IQs and are good-looking. They have also been very popular with the opposite sex since their student days.
It's a pity that these two are only focused on their careers and have no interest in love, which has broken the hearts of many boys and girls.
Apart from their careers, these two people care most about their families.
——To be precise, it is Mu Yu, the youngest child in their family and the one they care about the most.
Mu Chenxi said lazily on the phone: "Ayu, isn't it time to come back? Mom and Dad miss you so much that they can't eat, and your sister wants to call you every day, and she's almost worn out her phone."
Mu Yu covered his forehead with his hands: "...If you miss me, just call me, why are you dealing with my phone!"
Mu Chenxi laughed softly: "So? When will you be back?"
Mu Yu thought about it and realized that there was at least ten days between each copy. Today was only the seventh day after the end of the fourth copy. In theory, there were still at least three days of "holiday".
Yan Shaowen just sent a WeChat message for the first time, saying that tomorrow night is Lu Zhongnian’s grandfather’s 70th birthday and a banquet will be held in a hotel in the city center. He asked Mu Yu if he wanted to give it a try.
They both knew what to try.
Mu Yu was a little tempted. After all, that was Lu Chongnian's blood family member and should be the person most likely to recall memories related to Lu Chongnian. But Grandpa Lu was seventy years old after all, and Mu Yu was afraid of irritating him, which would be bad.
He had been struggling just now.
But... you can also go and take a look at the situation first and decide based on the circumstances.
Mu Yu thought it over, and said to Mu Chenxi: "My classmates and I will go out for dinner tomorrow night, and then we'll go home!"
