With two minutes left before the Pokémon catching activity began, Gao Ying cautiously hid behind the curtains and asked the four surviving roommates to stand in front of her to ensure that she would not be attacked at all.
At this critical moment, the roommate looked somewhat reluctant, but she didn't say anything. After all, their dormitory has always been like this.
What's more, in the previous level, they watched with their own eyes as a roommate was killed in front of them, and the blood dyed the entire balcony window red.
This made them realize that they could only rely on Gao Ying. No matter what, Gao Ying was the only person with special abilities in this dormitory, and their only hope, which they had spent countless efforts to nurture.
Looking at her roommate's expression of anger but not daring to speak out, Gao Ying couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy, and the corners of her mouth curled up secretly, but her attention was soon attracted by the noise outside.
——The useless big guy on the first floor was killed. Before he died, he took away the boy from room 308 opposite.
Gao Ying couldn't hide her joy this time. She looked over with almost great joy, wanting to see how the people in Room 308 died.
Others don’t know, but she knows: as a psychic, from the moment her roommate was cursed to death, she already knew the murderer’s location, which was in Dormitory 308, Building B!
She saw clearly that the candidate who controlled the black fog curse acted extremely quickly. He killed her roommate Jiang You and then snatched away the prey she originally wanted to control from falling from the building. As a result, other candidates intervened and saved the lives of the three girls.
It was for this reason that when the rainstorm came at the end of the first level, Gao Ying lost her temper and attacked 308.
She wasn't sure what she was thinking. Maybe it was the resentment of her roommate being killed, or the anger of being treated as a prey by the same faction... When she successfully controlled the boy standing at the door of Room 308 to fall from the building, she thought she had successfully taken revenge, but she accidentally saw another shadow.
A man in a black mask stood in the window of Room 308 with his hands in his pockets, watching his roommate fall from the building coldly, and even had the mind to wave to her from a distance.
Until now, Gao Ying still remembers that moment, the creepy feeling as if she was being stared at by a python.
How could someone watch their roommate die and still laugh...or even push their roommate out here to die on purpose?!
What kind of perversion is this?
Even though she successfully reached the second level, the fear at that moment was still like a thorn in her side. After the failure of attacking 606, it destroyed her confidence and courage for the second time, forcing her to hide in the dormitory and dare not go out.
But now that the masked man is dead, does that mean...
Seeing the figure falling on the balcony of Room 308, Gao Ying's smile froze on her face before it could spread.
This is not a masked man at all!
Realizing that the masked man was using the same trick again and making his innocent roommate a cannon fodder, Gao Ying instinctively wanted to warn others, but suddenly realized that it would be useless even if she said it.
She wasn't speaking with any kind of golden words, so how could anyone believe her words? The masked man even sold out his roommates, even killing the big guy in his dorm. Maybe he was setting a trap to trick those who knew him into committing suicide!
Besides, what right did she have to expose the other party? Gao Ying felt a chill in her heart... She herself was also an informer.
The next prompt in the game is like adding fuel to the fire.
The last bit of hope Gao Ying held onto was completely shattered when Tang Xinjue confidently gave the number of informers.
She is not very smart, but she is not stupid either.
Tang Xin Jue's calculation of the informant's death toll clearly included Jiang You. Since when had he known the identities of their dorm? Perhaps it was from the moment she saw him as prey, foolish enough to use her mental power to spy on him... Would he attack her first? Would she die?
Gao Ying's face was pale, her mind was in a mess, and her ears were buzzing.
She couldn't even hear what the other students were saying outside. All she could hear were vague whispers about real death, fake death, fake death to trick Lang Dao, and dormitory 303...
When she came to her senses, she just heard others scolding the long-haired ponytailed girl in 606, saying that if she didn't have the ability, she shouldn't show off, as it made them excited for nothing.
“…?”
Who is incompetent? If the other party is incompetent, then what is she?
If the other party has no ability, then isn't she, who has been supported through so many copies, a complete waste?
After a brief moment of silence, a glimmer of hope boldly emerged in my mind: What if what those candidates said was true, and the girl with the ponytail might not be that powerful, and was just trying to trick them?
Gao Ying gasped for breath. The other roommates looked at her in confusion, thinking she was frightened and sick. Just as they were about to come over to comfort her, Gao Ying pushed them away: "Don't come near me! Do you want me to die? If I die, you won't be able to survive!"
Gao Ying realized she had overreacted when her roommate was shoved against the window. "Where's the phone? Who has one? Count the time and see how long it will take for the event to start. Hurry up and check..."
Bang! Bang, bang, bang!
What was that sound? Fireworks? Confused, Gao Ying turned to look out the window, only to hear the game prompt she'd been waiting for:
[The elf catching activity has begun, all candidates start catching! ]
The girl with the ponytail is really just pretending!
The event has begun! She is safe!
The momentary ecstasy overwhelmed all her thoughts, and before her fluctuating emotions could calm down, she seized the opportunity to rush out.
All she needs to do now is capture these elves and accept the last secret mission in the game, and she will be able to -
However, the roommate's trembling voice rang out hurriedly: "It's not time for the activity to start yet! There's still one minute..."
But why is there a game prompt sound when the time is not up? Why is there a blue elf falling from the sky?
Gao Ying failed to think of the answer to the question in time.
Everything happened in a flash.
The blue monster in the field of vision suddenly turned into a black firework, falling rapidly with a sharp bang, and its shadow became larger and larger in Gao Ying's shrinking pupils.
When they suddenly appeared before her eyes, Gao Ying suddenly "saw" the mental fluctuations covering these fireworks, which was very familiar to her as a psychic.
She suddenly understood everything.
...In addition to items and skills, mental power can also bring about large-scale attacks.
Among psychic powers, there is a kind of sensory influence, including consciousness induction, soothing, and control.
And set up illusions for the target object.
An ability that was expensive to acquire, that she was proud of, and that she had once tried to use in the dormitory called 606, but was seen through by another psychic.
She failed to hide it from the other party last time, but this time, the other party hid it from her.
Thoughts had almost no effect on the flow of time in reality. Gao Ying only had time to see, in her remaining peripheral vision, the man in the black mask who had finally stepped onto the balcony opposite her quickly retreating and trying to return to the dormitory.
Then, an arrow flashing with golden light flew from 606 to her eyes, covering her entire vision.
The screams of my roommates, the chaotic footsteps, and the questions were all drowned out by the warning of my health points rapidly decreasing.
At the last moment when her life bar reached zero, Gao Ying looked up unwillingly, wanting to see the expression of the girl with the ponytail. Was her expression the same as hers, twisted, happy, proud or resentful?
But the other party didn't even look at her. He just glanced over here lightly, and the strong and agile mental force field blocked her dying counterattack attack, where ordinary people could not see, and dispersed it easily like waving away a puff of smoke.
The girl then put away the half-bundle of ordinary fireworks in her hand and opened her mouth gently, her voice as calm and gentle as ever: "All candidates in the good student camp, use all your skills on the candidates who just realized the elves were fake and their first reaction was to hide in the dormitory. Do whatever it takes to keep them on the balcony."
“They are the informants.”
