Chapter 111 Evening Study (Part 9)
After more than twenty minutes, the large search force completed its mission.
They still didn't find any trace of this round's hidden players - based on the two directions of "the words on the floor of the lounge" and "the person in the water pipe", they checked the lounge on the second floor and all the toilets on the six floors, but still couldn't find any trace of their friends.
This also confirms that the methods used to hide players in copies are becoming more and more sophisticated.
As for the whereabouts of the monsters in the next round of the game——
They did not find the monsters' true bodies, but only their nests.
This time it was finally the turn of the lounge on the second floor to appear, but the way it appeared was very confusing.
"That room is marked as 'secret base' on the map?" Mu Yu was confused when he heard it.
"Yes," Fu Xiaoju said, "and the door of the coffee room inside can be opened, but Huang Jiajia said that it was the same as when he went in during evening self-study a few days ago. The displays and everything were the same. There was no change. There was no monster either. We checked inside and out, but didn't see anything."
"But the corresponding ghost story for this round should be 'Words on the Lounge Floor', right?" Su Mingyun said, "That monster should be... 'Words' again?"
Everyone looked at each other.
In the last round it was words, and in this round it is words again. What kind of changes will happen to the rules of the game?
Mu Yu pondered for a long time and said, "It will definitely be very different, but we can only wait until the game starts to tell."
It is 8:35 now and there are still ten minutes until the get out of class ends.
There was no point in continuing the search, it would only be a waste of energy, so they simply took this opportunity to rest.
Everyone relaxed, some checked their wounds, some chatted.
When Lu Zhongnian took out a letter, Mu Chenxi's sharp eyes flew over.
Lu Zhongnian paused and said in a normal tone, "Principal Dou gave me a reply."
Mu Yu quickly took the letter.
"Wait until you get back to read the letter." Lu Zhongnian said softly.
"Of course." Mu Yu also spoke quietly, and despite the gaze from his brother behind him, he quickly stuffed the letter into his cross-body bag.
Lu Zhongnian curved his lips.
"The principal emailed me and told me that the activities and deaths of the people mentioned in the document you gave me are roughly consistent with their lives in our world. The activity trajectories of some individuals are different, but after looking at the content listed by Principal Dou, those differences are more or less related to the copies."
Mu Yu confirmed with him: "The circumstances of death are exactly the same?"
"right."
The other students were also eavesdropping. Huang Jiajia hesitated and said, "Is Principal Dou's ability to accept things so well..."
"That's not nonsense. It's all about Principal Dou. You don't know how awesome Principal Dou was in the bathhouse copy..." Fu Xiaoju began to tell the story.
Lu Zhongnian added: "But Principal Dou also said that the sample size could be expanded a little bit."
Mu Yu nodded: "Okay, it would be better to expand the scope of the investigation for the sake of caution. I will also talk to Principal Dou later."
After Mu Chenxi learned about the existence of another world, he frowned: "So your goal is to merge the two worlds? What will happen to you two after the merger?"
Mu Yu was silent.
Mu Chenxi said slowly: "So this is why you asked me that question in the car last time?"
[Brother, if I disappear one day, and you find that no one in the world remembers me except you, and even you almost forget me, what will you do? ]
Mu Chenxi looked at Mu Yu calmly.
"Ayu, although we in the other world may feel sad when we think of you and find that we can't find you, if they know that the merger of the worlds may cause you in the other world to disappear, they would rather keep it that way."
The classroom suddenly became quiet.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the brothers.
Lu Zhongnian looked at Mu Yu and watched his hands on his legs slowly tighten.
Mu Yu truly felt that there were some things that seemed easy to say to others, but when facing family members, he couldn't even pretend to be relaxed.
He whispered, "But brother, if not, what if I can't get rid of the copy game for the rest of my life?"
"You can get rid of it," Mu Chenxi still looked at him directly, "You can stay away."
Mu Yu shook his head.
Mu Chenxi sneered: "Because then I won't be able to see him anymore?"
Lu Zhongnian met his gaze.
Mu Chenxi asked him coldly: "What about you? Does your family have no objection to this matter?"
"My family doesn't know about this," Lu Zhongnian replied calmly, "I don't intend to let them know."
Mu Chenxi sneered: "So you made the decision yourself without considering what your family would think?"
"elder brother!"
"Grandpa and I agreed that if we have to do something but he will definitely stop us if he knows about it, we don't need to tell him and just do it," Lu Zhongnian said calmly, "But no matter what, we made this choice not to die, but to find a way to live."
The first half of his sentence made Mu Chenxi narrow his eyes, while the second half made Mu Chenxi pause.
"If you just want to be able to see each other, the safest option is to ensure that the copy game is always ongoing and will not be closed."
Suddenly, the others swallowed their saliva secretly and dared not look at Mu Chenxi's expression.
How dare you say that...
"We have adapted to these things, and I will protect him. If it really comes down to a choice between the two, I will let him survive."
Mu Yu suddenly turned around.
The boy sitting next to him just stared at his brother quietly.
Lu Zhongnian smiled: "Even if we have to die together, maybe it can be considered a happy ending?"
Mu Chenxi's face suddenly turned so cold that everyone began to tremble.
They screamed in their hearts: Lu Chongnian, I didn’t realize you were so crazy, Lu Chongnian! !
"——But our purpose is not for these, but to get our lives back on track."
"Brother Chenxi, you are a doctor, you should know why patients are willing to take risks and go to the operating table."
Lu Zhongnian said word by word: "Just to survive."
There is no sound.
The others didn't dare to breathe. Lu Zhongnian stopped talking, and Mu Chenxi didn't say anything either.
The two men stared at each other. Mu Yu was sandwiched in the middle, sweat profusely on his back, and he dared not move.
a long time.
Mu Chenxi commented with an indiscernible tone: "Flower talk."
Mu Yu said weakly: "Brother..."
Mu Chenxi glanced at him and sneered, "I remember that you once secretly hid a photo of a classmate in your phone. During that time, Chenxing said that you were in a relationship, but I didn't believe it and thought you were chasing stars. That photo was of this guy, right?"
Lu Zhongnian: “?”
Mu Yu's face instantly turned red - why are you talking about this all of a sudden? !
"We weren't in love at that time!"
Crowd: Is this the point of rebuttal? ?
Mu Chenxi's tone also became more dangerous: "'At that time'? What about now?"
Mu Yu stuttered: "Now, now——"
Did you talk about it?
Mu·Yu, the solo player from birth, was stunned.
He didn't seem to know what his relationship with Lu Zhongnian was now...
When Mu Chenxi saw his reaction, her expression softened.
He looked at Lu Zhongnian meaningfully: "Oh, so he's a scumbag."
Mu Yu: “?!”
Lu Chongnian paused.
His expression remained unchanged just now, but now his face finally changed.
He turned his head and saw that Mu Yu was really confused. His eyes darkened and he said in a moderate voice: "I thought I had handed it over to you...?"
Mu Chenxi: “?”
Mu Yu: “!!!”
Lu Zhongnian frowned slightly, looking somewhat confused and depressed: "So we have always been just ordinary friends?"
Mu Yu covered his chest and said weakly: "No, wait, I can't breathe."
Lu Zhongnian raised his arm, held Mu Yu's hand in the face of Mu Chenxi's dangerous eyes that had already given off a red alarm, and said softly, "I was wrong. A formal confession is indeed needed."
He thought seriously: "But if we can only meet in a dungeon, I need to choose the occasion and time to confess my love carefully. Since it is an important ceremony, I can't just do it perfunctorily."
Crowd of spectators: This man is so desperate to gain status that he doesn’t care about other people’s lives! !
Fu Xiaoju covered his chest and said weakly, "Is this moment finally coming? I can't breathe anymore."
Hong Yang: "You step back!"
Fu Xiaoju: “?!” So ruthless!
Mu Yu was really dizzy, his whole body was red from neck to face.
How did this conversation develop into this? What should he say now? His mind is so confused. His brother's eyes are so scary...
Seeing Mu Chenxi narrow his eyes and open his mouth, as if he was about to say something, Mu Yu suddenly started and shouted, "Yang Yang! Yang Yang!"
“Here they come,” Hong Yang immediately rushed out from the crowd, held him, and exclaimed in a cooperative manner, “Ayu! Ayu, what’s wrong with you? Wake up!... Ye Sui, come here, Ayu has fainted!”
Ye Sui adjusted his glasses and walked over quickly.
Two people, one holding Mu Yu's left side, and the other holding Mu Yu's right side, lifted him up like an unconscious patient. There was a lot of drama, and they quickly moved him out of the world of ice and fire.
Only Lu Chongnian, who looked natural, and Mu Chenxi, who was about to laugh after being interrupted, were left, turning that place into the center of the storm. All the others stepped back one meter in embarrassment, trembling and not daring to get close.
…
Mu Yu was put in the corner and his eyes opened suddenly.
He stared at the ceiling: "Yangyang, did you record it just now?"
"…What did you say?"
"He said he had given me that sentence..."
“…I recorded it.”
Mu Yu raised a thumbs up tremblingly, and asked blankly, "Did you record the part where he said we'll die together?"
Ye Sui: "It was also recorded. It was all recorded."
Mu Yu's thumb left an afterimage.
Hong Yang was speechless: "Mu Yu, you are such a pervert."
Mu Yu closed his eyes and folded his hands in front of his chest: "Don't talk nonsense, send me the audio as soon as you get out."
…
Because I can no longer concentrate on thinking about things related to studying.
Mu Yu, the king of sleepers, finally fell asleep peacefully in the last eight minutes.
But in his sleep, he vaguely felt a familiar hand touching his head.
He wanted to move reflexively, but a slight sourness in his heart curbed his impulse.
He heard his brother's slightly disgusted voice: "...Are you so quiet this time?"
"When I fall in love, my IQ drops to negative numbers..."
Sigh.
"……Fool."
Later.
He felt a familiar presence approaching him.
But the man did not touch him, but just sat quietly beside him.
Maybe she was thinking about something, or maybe she just wanted to accompany him.
Mu Yu was sleeping peacefully, and that man was sitting peacefully.
The whole world became quiet and time seemed to stop here.
Until one moment.
Maybe the sound of rain outside suddenly stopped.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw the silhouette of the boy sitting next to him.
Lu Zhongnian looked out the window quietly.
His silhouette, under the interweaving of light and shadow, looks like an exquisitely colorful oil painting, with the vision torn apart and the colors immersed in it, making the picture timeless and precious.
Suddenly, Mu Yu felt that Lu Chongnian seemed to still be wearing the same high school uniform he wore back then.
They were in a high school classroom, a gap in time that no one would notice and no one would disturb.
The boy turned around.
Their eyes were high and low, intersecting in the light and shadow.
Lu Zhongnian smiled and said, "I was wondering what occasions in the dungeon would be suitable for confession."
"After thinking about it, it seems that the present is the best."
"After all, only the present moment truly belongs to us."
"Mu Yu, squad leader, our squad leader."
He reached out his hand, pinched Mu Yu's fingertips, and said softly, "I like you."
