Before awakening his psychic powers, Tang Xinjue's perception acuity was already far beyond that of most people.
When her mental power is activated, even the slightest change in the surrounding area cannot escape her perception.
For example, when the one-minute countdown for the "hanging clothes" task ended and the prompt popped up on the mobile phone screen, her mental power was automatically directed to a certain place on the balcony.
A breeze blew by, and the cloak hanging out to dry was blown, causing ripples.
Tang Xinjue's gaze was fixed on it.
The ripples are the wrong shape.
Normally, when blown by the wind, the ripples on the fabric will slide down, instead of stopping abruptly halfway like now, forming a vague hemispherical circle in the air.
It's like... there's something hidden inside!
She struck faster than the wind. When the cloak was lifted, the skeletal blue deformed creature was completely exposed to the air before it even had time to dodge.
hiss--
The monster opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, as if threatening or pouncing.
However, the moment it stretched out its claws and prepared to leap, the monster suddenly kicked back and rushed out. It didn't expect that its feint to the east and attack to the west didn't work, because Tang Xin Jue directly grabbed the two ends of the cloak and pulled it down, locking the blue monster firmly inside.
"It's in the cloak."
She said this in the spreading mental power.
Only one sea of consciousness is needed to make a sound, but the places where information is received can be scattered on three different balconies at the same time.
From Tang Xinjue's perspective, five fireballs were burning in the spiritual realm. Each fireball was of different size and color. The largest one was a bright orange-red, and the flames were dancing hesitantly.
"Who are you? Why should I trust you?"
Tang Xin Jue: "You may not believe it, but the game has already given a subtle hint. This thing should only appear for a short time. Be careful not to let it get away."
The view sank to the third-floor balcony. Although the long-haired girl said she didn't believe it fiercely, she had already nimbly slipped under the cloak and caught a glimpse of the blue color that had not yet disappeared.
Half of the monster's body had disappeared into the cloak, and it could run away completely in the next second. It grinned and bared its teeth at the long-haired girl as if mocking her.
The long-haired girl also showed a row of white teeth, and then a shield fell from the sky, knocking the blue monster unconscious in the cloak, and it fell heavily to the ground wrapped in cloth.
At the same time, on another balcony, a boy who received the news sneaked out and also found the monster in the cloak.
——Is what that girl's voice said true?!
He nervously observed his surroundings, pulled out a frying pan, and, cursing, knocked the monster down. Before he could figure out what to do with it, the next second, the blue monster vanished… vanished?
It literally vanished into thin air, leaving only a puddle of water on the ground.
"It seems that we can't let it touch the ground directly." Tang Xinjue opened his eyes, weighed the things inside the cloak twice, and threw it back into the dormitory.
Zhang You reached out to catch it. The cold temperature from his touch spread upwards, and goose bumps appeared on his skin.
Strangely, after being embraced by the cloak, the blue skeleton monster stopped struggling. Guo Guo didn't dare touch it, and could only poke the tip of his head from Zheng Wanqing's shoulder, nervously watching the two men unwrap the tightly wrapped black cloth.
Zheng Wanqing's fist and Zhang You's account book were ready, but they stopped the moment the black cloth was completely lifted, and looked at each other in surprise.
Under the thick black cloak, there was a round dark blue sphere!
"That monster...cocooned?"
Guo Guo was stunned when she spoke. If not, she really couldn't find a reason to explain the change in just a few seconds.
Zhang You frowned and turned the sphere over. "It's not a cocoon, it's the monster."
However, for some reason, the monster's appearance changed. From an ugly monster that could attack people, it turned into a giant, round preserved egg that had no offensive power.
The few of them were silent for two seconds. Just when Zhang You wanted to reach out and touch the egg again to observe the situation, Tang Xinjue suddenly made a gesture to keep quiet through the window.
"Shh, listen."
A rather strange system prompt sounded quietly in my mind.
…
From the moment the monster was caught on the balcony until now, everything happened in an instant.
Outside the balcony, many candidates did not even notice the existence of the monster. Only a few people happened to notice it. Some fought with the monster, while others hid and looked for help as soon as possible.
These unusual noises attracted the attention of the candidates nearby. However, when everyone wanted to find out what was going on, those ghostly and agile blue shadows suddenly dived into the cloak at the same time - with a rustling sound, the cloak was pulled off, and there was nothing inside.
Just as they appeared without warning, the monsters disappeared without warning.
What was the game trying to do? What were these monsters? The students were still scratching their heads when they heard another roar from downstairs.
"Brother Pan! How could you die too!"
On the first floor of Building A, on the balcony where Huang Mao had died, a burly, dark-skinned boy rushed out, picked up Huang Mao's body, and roared, "Brother Li is dead, and you're dead too. What am I going to do by myself? This is killing me!"
The large man howled with genuine emotion, his voice echoing across the two buildings. As he shouted, he glared at the nearby examinees with eyes as big as copper bells and demanded fiercely, "Did you do this?"
"It's not me, it's not me!"
The girl who was stared at quickly waved her hands and backed away, not even daring to pick up the cloak that had fallen on the ground. She didn't want to offend the big guy in front of her who looked like he was not very smart.
Fortunately, despite his rage, the big man still managed to drag the yellow-haired corpse up, apparently preparing to carry it to the dormitory. No one around dared to stop him, and they could only watch him move.
For the students, the idea of a snitch being a cruel pervert was already a commonplace, and they avoided provoking him if possible. Therefore, even though the snitch appeared in plain sight, no one moved for a moment, and some even hoped he would go in as soon as possible.
But just as he stepped into the house and put his other hand on the window to close the door, his movements suddenly stopped.
The girl in the next dormitory who wanted to secretly pick up the cloak: "..."
"It really wasn't me. He said it was someone named Yue Qiong who cursed him. It has nothing to do with me! Don't kill me!"
The girl stepped back step by step, holding the protective gear, and tears began to flow from her eyes because she was too nervous.
But even when she retreated to the window, the big man remained motionless. Looking closely, she could see veins bulging on his arms from the exertion, yet he remained motionless.
This state is like...
The girl's heart was pounding.
It's like being controlled!
Where no one could see, the big boy's face flushed red, his teeth chattered, and he tried desperately to break free from the restraints imposed on him.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not regain control of his body and was forced to stay where he was, feeling extremely panicked.
Pan Long had said in the previous level that there might be psychics in this game, but he didn't expect to be so unlucky to encounter one.
The big man opened his mouth with difficulty, instinctively wanting to ask his companions for help, but belatedly realized something even more unfortunate: he no longer had any companions.
Pan Long's body, already ice-cold, vanished into thin air, bearing the marks of death. The boy clenched his fists in panic and uttered with all his might, "Who are you? What do you want?"
The one who answered him was an unfamiliar and clear female voice.
"Your life."
An arrow with a pink star flew through the air!
[Lucky Bow: You have a 50% chance of hitting the target. Want to know your luck value? Use the target's health points to verify it!]
Six floors away, four girls were standing on the balcony of 606.
At the edge of the guardrail closest to the outside, Tang Xinjue stood on the edge of the guardrail, shaking the spherical cloak in her hand. The short-haired girl standing beside her was holding a bow, biting her lower lip and aiming towards the first floor.
"Snitches, seize these last few minutes," Tang Xinjue said gently but without letting anyone question him. "The hunt has begun."
"But this time, it's us who are hunting you down."
