peep?
The three of them paused and moved inconspicuously towards the inside of the dormitory.
Guo Guo nervously whispered in his mind, "Can others see us through the dormitory window and the screen?"
Tang Xin Jue's voice sank slightly: "If there is a prop that can break the game barrier, or if the mental strength is strong enough, then it can be done."
After hearing the explanation, a bad guess suddenly arose in the minds of several people. Their eyes met, and Tang Xinjue nodded slightly, giving an affirmative answer:
"Psychic power user."
"Did it work?"
At the same time, in another dormitory in a building away, the atmosphere was equally tense.
Six people gathered around the French window, and five of them had their eyes glued to a short, round-faced girl with her eyes closed.
A few seconds later, the round-faced girl opened her eyes, her expression grim. "I can only see the area near the window of that dormitory. It's like something is blocking my view further inside. I can't see anything."
The tall, thin, short-haired girl who had asked earlier immediately urged, "Then keep watching, Gao Ying. We've already spent all our money on props. If we try harder, we'll definitely see it. What's the point of giving up?"
The round-faced girl named Gao Ying twisted her eyebrows into a knot, her expression becoming even uglier: "...I even heard a warning!"
What she didn't say was that the moment the warning appeared, a sense of danger overwhelmed her, and she subconsciously retreated as if escaping without even having time to think.
"I think," Gao Ying pursed her lips and spoke through her teeth:
"There's also a mind controller in that dormitory."
"She found me."
"fart!"
The short-haired girl retorted without hesitation, "Spiritual skills require money to acquire. The five of us aren't enough to support you. The dorm you chose only has four people. What can they provide?"
"Alright Jiang You, stop talking." The others hurried to smooth things over and tried to persuade Gao Ying:
"Jiang You was being blunt. She wasn't angry, but you know, the [Telescope] and [Tow Line] are consumable items. Using them once means one less. We've spent all our points on them, you see..."
Gao Ying's expression eased slightly, and as she thought of her roommate's hardships, she consoled him:
"It's okay, this should just be an accident. I still have two chances, I just need to change dormitories."
"Phew, I'm glad you have confidence." Her roommate came up and put his arm around her shoulders. "Whether we can pass this level depends entirely on you!"
"Right, right. Don't feel any pressure when using skills. If you want to blame someone, blame the game for making us snitches. We just want to clear the level."
“That’s right…”
Listening to her roommates' chatter, the smile on Gao Ying's face gradually froze, and she felt a buzzing in her head.
The newly installed mental skills have not yet been fully integrated into her mind. Now is the time when she needs quiet the most, but her roommates have not kept their mouths shut for a minute. Everyone has a bunch of suggestions and points fingers at her, as if it was not Gao Ying, but these people, who had superpowers.
But... Gao Ying pursed her lips in silence. She couldn't directly express her request. Because her current situation was the result of everyone in the dormitory working together to provide for her.
Every one of her spiritual skills was purchased by her roommates with points collected bit by bit, just to train the only person in the dormitory with spiritual talent, and make her the hope to lead the dormitory through dangerous and difficult times.
Her roommates protected her, supported her, but also restrained her and ordered her around. Therefore, Gao Ying remained silent as usual, her thoughts drifting to the recent snooping.
The moment she chose the skinny girl with the ponytail, she knew she was most likely not a good person. In that situation, anyone who dared to open the balcony window and walk out first was either extremely stupid or overconfident in their own abilities.
That calmness and confidence secretly hurt Gao Ying to some extent.
She couldn't help but think about herself: even if she dared to go out, no one else would let her. So what if I had powerful superpowers? I still had to hide in a dark corner with my vulnerable roommate.
But why? She was unwilling to accept it.
Gao Ying couldn't help but wonder, did the game choose her to be the "informer" because at some moment, it heard her dark desires and inner voice?
Before she could finish her thought, her thoughts were interrupted by the others urging her to continue. Gao Ying quickly adjusted her expression, closed her eyes, reconnected to her mental power, and began to choose her next target.
Gao Ying knew she had to pick a weak opponent and get the dorm through the checkpoint first. Her mental vision wandered aimlessly between the two buildings, looking at the rows of dormitories connected by balconies. She warned herself to put away her useless competitive spirit.
When selecting prey with mental power, there are two types of people you absolutely must avoid. One is someone like the shield girl on the third floor, who displays immense strength and aggressiveness. They are often determined and highly vigilant, and can easily backfire if you mishandle them.
The second type is like the skinny girl with a ponytail on the sixth floor, whose depth is hard to tell.
Thinking of the failure just now, the initial impulse subsided and the feeling of regret surged up.
Wan—that girl’s mental power level is higher than hers, but she managed to track her down?
Wan—That girl is also a [informer]?
Ten thousand-……
Gao Ying bit her lip hard and forced herself to calm down. She absolutely could not fail again because of her wild thoughts at this time!
She quickly found her prey - her mental power locked onto a balcony on the fifth floor. After using the prop [telescope] to break through the natural defense of the balcony window, she saw three girls huddled together and shivering. One of them was the unlucky girl who was almost shot in the head by the sinister boy's arrow.
The three girls were completely unaware of anything unusual, nor did they notice that an invisible silver line had appeared above their heads, being manipulated by an invisible force and sinking into their crowns.
"You're all eager to go out to the balcony and see what's going on. It's okay, just go out and have a look. There's no danger..."
The expressions on the three girls' faces gradually disappeared, turning into a blank look. Their necks pulled their heads stiffly and they turned to look out the window.
"Get up. First, open the window..."
A girl stumbled to the window first, stretched out her hand, and opened the window following some strange instructions.
Her figure was instantly exposed to everyone's gaze.
Watching this scene, Gao Ying's lips curled up slightly. Dominating others gave her a subtle sense of pride and pleasure. She continued to impose orders on the girl's mind:
"Walk to the guardrail, look down, tilt, tilt..."
The girl's waist was bent more and more, and almost half of her body was bent outside the guardrail. She was just a little bit away from falling down.
At this moment, a ray of light suddenly flashed around her waist. The girl's body shook violently, and her eyes suddenly regained a bit of clarity. She grabbed the railing tightly and screamed!
Gao Ying suddenly took a step back, gasping for breath and just opened her eyes when she was bumped by Jiang You who rushed over.
Jiang You rushed to the window and screamed, "Why is she wearing protective gear? Gao Ying, didn't you see it when you were choosing your target just now?"
The frustration of failure and the anger of being accused surged up simultaneously, and Gao Ying's face darkened. "Aren't you the ones who are anxious for me to find someone to do it?"
"Alright, alright, stop arguing!"
The others quickly stepped in and grabbed Gao Ying's arm, "Quick, before those three people fully wake up, make them jump off the building first!"
Gao Ying refused to do it. She shook her arms vigorously and said, "I'm exhausted now. Let's talk later."
"Why wait a while?" Jiang You's eyes widened. "Then how do we calculate the props we spent?"
Gao Ying also blurted out, "Then you guys should save up points to buy more props. I'm only at the elementary level of mind control right now, and it's unstable to begin with. If you don't want to make mistakes, buy me more advanced skills? Who can you blame if you can't afford it?"
Jiang You's chest heaved violently, his face twisted for a moment: "Alright, then don't even think about taking any points from me from now on. I'll only upgrade myself and never support a useless person like you again—"
She couldn't finish her words. The anger on her face suddenly stopped. Her mouth was still open, but her eyes were looking down.
—A dazzling red burst out from her chest.
As the girl's body fell to the ground, blood splattered on the window, forming a skull-like pattern.
It took Gao Ying several seconds to find her voice again from the dead silence:
"I didn't do it! It was a curse!"
Just now, during the few seconds that Jiang You was leaning against the glass window, someone caught her figure and cast a death curse on her.
When they choose their prey, they are also prey in the eyes of others.
[Competition Tips: A student has died. The difficulty of all participating students is increased by 1%. The current total is 3%.]
Another building, in dormitory 606.
Tang Xinjue withdrew his mental power and opened his eyes, the afterimage of his vision still lingering on the astonished expression of the round-faced girl.
Zhang You handed over the dormitory building layout he had drawn. "Have you found the person who was spying on us? Is she a snitch?"
Tang Xinjue picked up the pen and made red marks at two different locations.
"Found it, and there's more than one."
