Chapter 041 Dormitory
In dormitory 104, four girls sat on the floor.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Qian Xiaomei, and I specialize in ancient martial arts. My superpowers are listed in the manual, and they can significantly increase my speed and even teleport short distances in the air. We'll both be members of the team from now on, and the captain will be determined based on how we cooperate on this first mission. How do you do that?"
A red-haired girl was kneeling at the door, with an iron sword without a blade or sheath hanging at her side. She had an upright posture, and it was obvious that she was a martial artist who had been training her body since childhood.
The other girls were silent for a moment. The girl farthest from the crowd, sitting by the window, her hair hanging down, said, "Curry... My real name is Curry, because my mom likes it. You can call me Curry or LIGA, but I don't have any other names, so I don't need another nickname."
Curry didn't introduce her superpowers, but no one forced her to.
After all, Curry's superpowers are of a very rare type: they are classified as sealing, but their actual effects are closer to physical fitness plus erosion.
She can attack anomalies by "swallowing".
Curry's mouth is considered a special weapon, and it is also effective against intangible and intangible anomalies.
Even better, if the anomaly is small enough, small enough to be swallowed in one bite, her stomach is an excellent natural sealing field.
However, the side effects of such super powers are very serious. First of all, Curry, like many powerful super-powered people, suffers from symptoms of persistent depression.
Secondly, her body is still destructible. Even though the regenerative ability of her stomach and esophagus far exceeds that of ordinary people, human flesh and blood cannot resist external attacks.
"My name is Liu Ping'an, and I'm from the No Man's Land."
The third girl had a naturally smiling face. She clutched an energy bar and gesticulated as she spoke. "I'm also a Constitution type, which means I have a lot of strength. But I'm pretty good at making traps. Look, I've installed simple triggers in the window, the bathroom, and the door."
Qian Xiaomei raised her eyebrows slightly: "What effect?"
Liu Pingan took a bite of the energy bar: "It's simple. If there is an ordinary abnormality, it will-"
Beep, beep, beep.
The Pasteurizer on Liu Ping'an's wrist issued a short alarm and then stopped.
【343】
The number changed to [43] within 1 second, erasing the hundreds digit.
"It will break."
The girls paused for a moment, and then Qian Xiaomei scratched her head and stood up: "Really, what do you want to drink?" Then she walked towards the table, her right hand on the hilt of the knife.
"I want to drink tea~" Liu Ping'an smiled and waved his hand, holding a piece of chewing gum in his palm.
They all noticed the changes in the Pasteur meter just now. The fluctuation in the value was not fake. Something had sneaked in.
That thing can either focus the radiation field, affect the measuring instruments, or modify our perception. In short, it's extremely dangerous. It's not yet known whether the anomaly has a high enough level of personification.
If the personification is too high, our previous performance will not be able to deceive. Even if the personification is low, if it stays dormant for long enough, who knows how troublesome it will become.
The danger of anomalies lies mainly in their "unpredictability". Both active attack and passive waiting may lead to extremely bad results.
The red-haired girl grabbed the bottle of water on the table and threw it into the air at an elusive speed, then drew her sword with her right hand. Even so, as the strongest in medieval martial arts and the most suitable to be a captain, I absolutely could not retreat.
Shining——
The edgeless sword made a sound from the inside out, breaking through the air and cutting a bloody line in the air flow.
There is a door! It's right here!
"Hey there—reveal yourself, Sneaky!"
Qian Xiaomei yelled, and within a few moments, she slashed three times in quick succession. Regardless of the size of the monster, she had to pierce its vital core!
At the same time, the "bottled water" also fell upside down, splashing a lot of water.
Phew~
There was a bubbling sound in the air, caused by the collision of hot and cold, and something dissipated like smoke.
Solved…?
Qian Xiaomei did not let her guard down. Her roommates also kept their distance during the previous confrontation, each taking out their weapons and blocking off an area.
Beep, beep~
A grandiose trumpet sounded from directly above them, and they immediately moved away from the source of the sound, rolling behind the bed, lifting up the stool, and hugging the table legs.
A few seconds later, a twisted solid mass emerged from the air. It looked like four broken cubes wrapped together with sausages, like a frozen warehouse that had expired hundreds of years ago.
"Congratulations! You've passed the first level. The penalty has been skipped, and it's time to start the second round!"
It emitted the announcer's impassioned voice from its abdomen, and drops of grease and blood dripped onto the floor.
The four roommates exchanged glances with each other. They had to figure out the abnormal mechanism as quickly as possible.
This monster obviously comes with rules. These rules are the projection of the power of the abyss in the human world, and will influence each other with idealistic existences such as human will and history.
Defeating an anomaly with additional rules without getting hurt was difficult, requiring tremendous courage, talent, and luck. They were all prepared to be seriously injured.
Qian Xiaomei was closest to the monster, and the other roommates kept as much distance as possible. However, she, who had the strongest physique, took the initiative to stay at the midpoint of the room.
This position can use super powers to move forward, backward, left and right to provide timely assistance to any companion.
The girl who was the farthest away was Sun Yu, who hadn't had time to introduce herself yet.
Sun Yu's superpowers are also physical, and her most outstanding talent is shooting.
In a team where all members are proficient in shooting, she can hit the jumping target with every shot from 800 meters away. She is also proficient in various throwing standard items, which are extremely effective in combat.
Now Sun Yu is lying on the second floor of the bed, ready to fire a hidden weapon to hit the enemy at any time.
The biggest questions are twofold: First, what kind of attack is this anomaly afraid of? Second, is it currently in its original form? If so, does it have an instant death rule?
Click. Click.
The monster took two steps towards Qian Xiaomei. Its "feet" were two bloody vertebrae connected by strands of fascia.
"King's Game, Jumanji, or Chicken Game, which one do you choose?"
Hmm... the only one I remember is King's Game.
Qian Xiaomei knew about the King Game, an interactive game from the old days when kings still existed. The person who drew the King's lot could command the others to play the game as they pleased.
She had never heard of Jumanji and Chicken, which shows that these two games are not widely known in human society.
She looked at her roommates, and sure enough, they all raised one finger and nodded at her: There is no other way, let's choose the King's Game.
Even if this game is very risky, it is better than the other two. For any "game" that is far from human rules, the final right of interpretation lies in the hands of the anomalies.
"I choose King's Game."
Qian Xiaomei gripped the hilt of the sword, her body tensed to the extreme.
Liu Ping'an took this opportunity to jump to the door and used a crowbar to pry the door open in an attempt to trigger the school alarm, but nothing happened.
She made a "tsk" sound, withdrew her hand, and jumped behind the table: Abnormalities in the rules are troublesome, this place has been temporarily isolated from the outside world.
This anomaly is not powerful enough to activate a large-scale defense array, it's just that its ability is disgusting enough.
They had to hold out for at least half an hour before the dormitory manager's regular inspection could begin, using abnormalities to combat abnormalities.
"Hee~"
The monster squeezed out a laugh through the cracks in its body, and its intestines squirmed out a set of black-sealed cards: "Please draw a card."
…
I really want to play the card game...
Chen Xiao'er lay in bed looking at her phone, and her eyes soon became tired.
There weren't any thriving video platforms on Red Star, not even any pay-to-win mobile games, and the forum traffic was very low. She simply threw her phone away and quietly got out of bed in her slippers.
She walked to the table, drank some mineral water, and looked at the bed in the dormitory with a distracted look.
My senior sister slept on the bunk above me, while Lin Lang and Zheng Lu lived across from me. Such a good arrangement must have been facilitated by the school; I wonder if it was Professor Mi Luo's help.
The interior space of the dormitory is obviously very large, at least twice as large as the ordinary six-person dormitory on Blue Star, with a separate bathroom and storage room, but the beds are still placed in the corner next to the door, far away from the balcony.
Maybe they consider that bunk beds can help students develop relationships?
She pulled out a chair and sat down slowly, preparing to review tomorrow's lessons first.
Beep beep.
The phone vibrated twice on the quilt.
Chen Xiao'er quickly jumped over to catch it, and then looked at the screen and said, "Can you sleep? Do you like the gift I gave you?"
Her face wrinkled. "I haven't blocked this pervert yet? My bad, my bad."
Xiao Ai: Stop giving me gifts! I don’t want any! I don’t want any gifts at all!
[Greasy rich second generation: Didn't you enjoy your performance last time? No? Haha.]
Don't be too outrageous! How dare you say that?
Chen Xiao'er's eyebrows began to twist. If I didn't want to make a big deal out of this and was afraid you'd continue to lose your temper, I would have called the police long ago!
What's wrong with this kind of person? Could it be that she really believes that "beating is love and scolding is care" and thinks that everyone in the world who is interested in her must make her happy?
[The greasy rich second generation: I really miss you now, it hurts.]
[It hurts so much. Do you know the pain when your respiratory system is connected to your heart? Now I know.]
[Because of you, my heart is broken. You can't afford to pay me back, and I want everyone you care about to be ruined for this.]
Depend on!
Chen Xiao'er covered her mouth to avoid spitting out or cursing out loud.
This is your "big gift", you paid an elementary school writer to help you write it, right?
Because it was so outrageous, she didn't even know whether it was a greasy love poem or a strategy designed to disgust her enemies.
[The greasy rich second generation: Don't pretend you can't see. I know you're watching.]
[It's not too late to beg for mercy now. Swear to me and give me everything you have.]
"I admire your acting skills and cunning. We can conquer the world."
I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to die if I keep watching this.
Xiao'er took a deep breath, clicked on the name of the person who was against the sky, and blocked him decisively.
If you block it a second later, your eyes will suffer great damage!
Boom, boom, clang!
Suddenly there was a loud noise from next door.
Chen Xiao'er was so scared that her hands started shaking and she almost dropped her phone on the ground.
She listened intently and realized the noise was actually quite far away. The rustling sound was not obvious at first, and she wondered if someone had smashed the tables and chairs to make the noise.
Maybe he slipped?
Xiao'er yawned and walked towards the bed.
She had just laid down when she heard the ding-dong sound again.
What’s going on? Are the people in the next dormitory playing horse-riding war with brooms?
Chen Xiao'er covered her head with a pillow and turned over in bed.
She had just closed her eyes and was beginning to feel a little sleepy when a sharp, wild scream suddenly came from the darkness.
"ah--"
Who can sleep now?!
Xiao'er was completely awake. She turned the doorknob, stood in the corridor and shouted.
"What time is it? Please stop playing around in the dorm!"
