A minute ago, Guo Guo looked at the miserable state of 506, and his fingers holding the pendant turned pale.
She also accidentally discovered that the magic pendant would react to the black aura on the girls in the triple dormitory, indicating that exorcism could be used.
Just like the natural attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth can restrain each other, the same is true for skills in the game. To resolve the curse skills of the three people, you don't need a lot of energy, you just need to match it.
Exorcism is an ability that can just restrain the opponent.
Tang Xin Jue's gentle mental force field enveloped Guo Guo and he patted her shoulder: "If you want to give it a try, I'll help you transfer the skills over. If you don't want to use it, we'll close the baffle."
Guo Guo bit his lower lip, so nervous that even his eyebrows were trembling. "I'm afraid I won't do it well, and instead of succeeding, I'll attract the informer."
Rather than being afraid, she was more worried about the other three people taking the risk for her mistake.
Zhang You smiled: "If you are not afraid, then we are not afraid either."
Zheng Wanqing prepared her words for a moment: "Me too!"
They were all brief and to the point, not wanting to put pressure on Guo Guo or guide her thinking.
This is Guo Guo's own ability, and the choice is entirely hers. No matter what choice Guo Guo makes, they will support her.
There was no time to think about anything else. Guo Guo's eyes flashed one last time, revealing a moment of determination:
"Help me lock the location."
A shimmering light began to flow through the pendant, and the red jade seemed to come alive. Ripples formed in the air, and a soft white light gently passed over the fluffy girl's head, reappearing on the struggling girl.
Tang Xin Jue released a soothing effect of mental power, easing the girl's pain and allowing Guo Guo's skills to land smoothly.
The time it takes for the skill to actually take effect is very brief—but the effect is immediate.
As the black pattern was completely dissolved by the white light, the girl regained consciousness. Her dazed eyes reflected the balcony: a massive shield stretched across the railing, blocking a snake-like black mist as thick as an arm.
A faint white light rose from his neck and dissipated into the air with the last trace of pain. His hearing and thinking abilities simultaneously returned to his brain. His roommate's anxious cries seemed to come from another world, and what reached his ears more clearly than this was the voice of a strange girl.
"Hide quickly."
!!!
The girl shuddered, her survival instinct taking over faster than any other thought. Without a word, she retreated back into her dorm room with the help of her roommate. With a bang, the window and curtains of room 506 were slammed shut, cutting off any possibility of contact with the outside world.
The black snake condensed from black energy straightened its upper body and tried to pounce several times, but was blocked by the shield.
Seeing that the opportunity had been lost, the black snake hissed at the window for a few seconds, and the next moment when the shield was chopped down, it suddenly dissipated on the spot and disappeared into the air.
The shield flew back into the hands of the long-haired girl. She pursed her lips tightly, her handsome brows darkening. "You're running faster than a sewer rat. You'd better pray that the game will let you hide forever, snitch."
The last few words fell into the cool air, and even the long-haired girl herself didn't think there would be a response, when a familiar harsh voice sounded again in an exaggerated tone:
"It's truly worthy of being the Fuzhou Shield. In the hands of a strong person, it can transform into a myriad of things. I haven't seen anything like this in ages~"
I don’t know what the boy who was speaking was thinking, but he ended his sentence with a wavy ending sound that made people’s scalps tingle. The tense and serious atmosphere was abruptly interrupted, and it was tinged with an indescribable weirdness.
The shield girl took a step back. She was in a bad mood at the moment, and her voice was just as cold: "You're wrong, this is not Buzhou Shield."
"It's just not for now. Let me see what it's called now. Broken Gold Shield? Such a tacky name, not really suitable for a beautiful woman."
The sound was layered and seemed to come from all directions, making it impossible to tell the source of the sound and one could only listen passively.
The hand holding the shield tightened, and the girl's face became even darker. She had no good feelings towards this man who only heard the flirtatious words but never saw the person. "It's my thing, you can call it whatever you want. But you like chatting so much, come out and chat?"
As early as when the first informant, the sinister boy, was exposed, this male voice appeared and made some proud comments, and then disappeared quietly. Now that the second informant has come out, he suddenly appears again. It is really hard not to be suspicious.
There are more than one people who think so.
Even in dormitory 606, Guo Guo, while pale as he poured tonic into his mouth, couldn't help but analyze: "I think this man is very suspicious. Could he be the informant who just used the curse skill? What do you think, Jue Shen?"
Tang Xinjue gently pressed her shoulder: "Shh."
"..." Guo Guo froze instantly, even the nutrient solution stuck in his mouth and he didn't dare swallow it. He could only follow Tang Xinjue's gaze and move his eyes to the edge of the window.
The baffle blocked the floor-to-ceiling window, and only a little light came in from the edge. At this moment, the eyes of the four people in the dormitory were all fixed on it.
They couldn't see outside, only Tang Xinjue could feel a faint, almost imperceptible black air spreading upwards along the wall of the dormitory building.
"Don't worry," she explained through the mental link. "It's the informer who's checking on us."
The other three: ...It's hard not to be worried.
Fortunately, they already had experience, holding their breath and concentrating like an old monk in meditation, turning their attention back to themselves. After about half a minute, the chaotic noises from the outside world faded away, and Tang Xinjue snapped his fingers: "He's gone."
The informant must have known about the existence of psychics, but he was too apprehensive to conduct a full-scale search. The little power he unleashed was no match for Tang Xin Jue. Tang Xin Jue simply shielded the fifth and sixth floors of a building, confusing the black energy and forcing it to retreat in frustration.
Guo Guo quickly drank half a bottle of water to cover up the taste of the nutrient solution. He stuck out his tongue and complained softly, "I'm almost drained of my skills after using them once. These people who use their skills endlessly, are they really human?"
After she finished muttering, she raised her head and saw Tang Xinjue himself, a man with endless skills and who seemed to be non-human.
Guo Guo: "...I didn't mean what you said! Jue Shen, would you like some nutrient solution?"
Tang Xinjue took a quick look outside, and with an idea in mind, he turned around and pushed Guo Guo's attentive hand back, "Save some for yourself. You'll probably need to consume a lot of energy in this match."
Seeing Guo Guo's bitter face, she curled her lips and added: "Don't you think your abilities have improved?"
Guo Guo didn't react at first, but after realizing the implication behind Tang Xinjue's words, he exclaimed, "It seems, really?"
She'd only used exorcism once, drained her of energy, and then replenished it with nutrient solution, yet she felt more fully empowered than before. Guo Guo couldn't describe the feeling... It was as if there was a place in her body dedicated to producing this invisible "energy," like a five-dimensional attribute, subtly yet tangibly influencing her strength.
Tang Xin Jue: "If we compare our abilities to a pond, our special powers and skills are like the fish in it. The bigger the pond, the more fish it can hold. The better the water quality, the faster the fish grow. Conversely, even if we spend a lot of points on expensive skills, they won't be effective."
Not only Guo Guo, but also Zhang You and Zheng Wanqing heard her say this for the first time, and they all listened carefully.
"And repeated combat drills are the best way to strengthen this pool."
Tang Xinjue looked out the window, and there was a barely perceptible warmth in his calm black pupils.
"This is the competition, made up of hundreds of candidates who have survived a week in the game, earned credits and admission tickets, and are very similar to us, yet completely different."
"This is our proving ground."
