After saying this refreshing "good news", the opponent obviously didn't want the apprentice to continue asking questions. He hurriedly told the apprentice to hurry up and complete the task, then went offline and his avatar turned gray.
Before leaving, the other party ordered "Wei Xian" to swear that he would immediately use some magic to cover up all traces of their conversation and not contact him again before the end, and he must not let the power of blessing detect his existence.
Tang Xinjue agreed obediently, then deleted the chat history.
Physical cover-up is reasonable.
As for the power of blessings... when the disciple wins the prize, the master must of course be happy too, because a master's school should be well-organized.
It had been a few minutes since Wei Xian left. In order to prevent her from discovering that her phone was missing and catching her by surprise, several people took pictures of the general content of her previous chat history with her "master", and then pretended that she had never opened the phone and put it outside the door.
Then they began to study the chat records between the two.
This record began about three months ago. Initially, Wei Xian simply sought out the other person for a fortune-teller's visit. After a while, Wei Xian developed a deep admiration for him. Then, the other person suddenly revealed that Wei Xian was destined to suffer from six misfortunes, and had been protected by a guardian deity since childhood, making him a perfect candidate for a career in metaphysics.
After hearing about the mysteries and benefits of metaphysical divination, Wei Xian was persuaded and became a disciple without hesitation.
Judging from the chat logs, Wei Xian had met this person several times in real life. The yellow paper and other ritual props were handed to her by her master during their last meeting.
From beginning to end, Wei Xian believed in his "master's" words without a doubt, performed the fortune-changing technique without hesitation, and even took pride in it.
Apart from today, the last chat record in the dialog box was that the master ordered Wei Xian to promote the fortune-changing technique to the people around him, so that more people could receive blessings.
Obviously, the first "promotion target" Wei Xian chose was the 606 dormitory right across the street where Tang Xinjue and others were.
After watching the whole thing, Guo Guo sighed: "What's more terrifying than a completely fake scammer is a scammer with real skills."
This so-called "master" did have a background in metaphysics, and the introductory techniques he initially taught Wei Xian were quite effective. However, all of this ultimately resulted in a carefully laid trap.
He wanted to trick Wei Xian into death!
Even that wasn't enough—each time the "Yellow Paper Fortune-Transfer Spell" was used, it would harm at least four people. Furthermore, this was a dormitory area with a high student population. Given the spell's range, if its influence truly spread, countless students would die.
The evil intention is appalling.
After going through the whole thing, a gloom fell over them. Since this was just a film set piece, it was likely a foregone conclusion. All they could do was to decipher the answer while preserving themselves and escaping the film safely.
"If what he said is true, then Wei Xian will be the first person to die due to the luck transfer technique."
Zhang You wrote down the name solemnly, but his face showed no sign of relief. "I'm just wondering, are we getting the answer a little too quickly this time?"
As long as they find the answer to the movie test, then they just need to wait for the plot to end, complete their review and leave.
But as a "replay" of a movie, and the second part in a series, would it really be so easy for them to get through it?
Tang Xinjue didn't answer immediately. She imprinted the last part of the existing information and clues in her mind before looking out the window: "I know what you are suspecting... Don't worry, from this point of view, our suspicion is very likely correct."
Everyone: ...This makes us even more worried!
"The difficulty of a dungeon is definitely the result of a comprehensive balance of multiple aspects. If the solution is slightly easier, then the difficulty of another aspect will definitely increase accordingly."
Tang Xinjue lowered his eyes, and all the props and superpowers he had exchanged appeared in his hands.
In an instant, everyone understood what she meant.
...Once the decryption is completed, the only thing that can prevent them from successfully completing the game is the danger contained in the plot itself.
Pain and confusion surged into Jin Wen's brain. She opened her eyes in a daze. It was pitch black around her and the lights were off. The ground beneath her felt hard and cold, and her nostrils were filled with a damp smell.
She struggled to stretch out her hand and touched the walls around her, only then she realized that this was the bathroom.
How did she fall in the bathroom?
After a few seconds of daze, memories flooded into her mind and Jin Wen shuddered immediately.
She recalled that when she had just returned to the dormitory, her roommate called her over from behind. When she turned around, she found her three roommates standing at the door, praying with their eyes closed, with strange smiles on their faces.
Wei Xian even turned around and invited her to join him, his lips curling uncontrollably: "Come and absorb the spiritual energy of the transfer spell with us."
Absorb...spiritual energy?
Jin Wen was certain she didn't want to do anything so bizarre. But just as she refused, her roommates suddenly turned around, approached with ferocious faces, and tried to force her to "pray."
Jin Wen was so frightened that she stepped back and hid in the bathroom. Just as she locked the door, her roommate banged on it violently and quickly. She was so scared that she slipped and hit the wall, then fainted.
Now that she had regained consciousness, Jin Wen stood up with the help of the wall, feeling both panicked and hesitant.
Does she want to go out?
The bathroom was cold and cramped; it must have been miserable to spend the night there. And now it was dark, with no light coming from the dorm. I wondered if my roommate was asleep...
Finally, reminded by the persistent pain in her body and encouraging herself with a hopeful mentality, Jin Wen still carefully opened the door and quietly walked out.
As she had hoped, the lights in the dormitory were off, and the sound of her roommate's even breathing could be heard on the bed. The surroundings were extremely quiet.
At least compared to daytime, the dormitory seemed slightly normal at this moment.
This reassured her somewhat, but the series of strange incidents and her bizarre roommate had made her afraid to stay even a minute longer, let alone continue sleeping. So she quickly grabbed her phone and bag, fumbled to open the dormitory door, and quickly slipped out.
It was pitch dark in the corridor, and only the yellow paper package hanging on the door emitted a faint glow. It flashed by and scared Jin Wen so much that she almost screamed.
Afraid of waking up her roommate, she covered her mouth and hurried away. She wanted to go directly to the dormitory manager to open the door to the dormitory building. However, just as she reached the stairs, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from below.
In the darkness, the footsteps were very slow, and each one stepped heavily on the stairs, as if supporting a shaky body.
This voice not only doesn't sound like it comes from a normal person, it even...
Jin Wen was horrified when she heard this and didn't dare to go downstairs as planned. She quickly retreated back to the corridor, but found that there was nowhere to hide.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and moving higher and higher. The girl was so anxious that she was sweating coldly and could hardly think. She could only panic and return to the door of her dormitory.
No, you can't open the door, you can't go back!
The instinctive warning sounded wildly in her mind, which eventually prompted the girl to grit her teeth, turn around and knock on the door of the next dormitory.
Please open the door, please open the door, save me...
Again and again.
Jin Wen covered her mouth tightly, tears of fear burst out and flooded her cheeks.
Tang Xinjue was awakened by a knock on the door.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The knock on the door was rapid and clear in the still night. Following the sound, Tang Xinjue got out of bed and walked to the door. He stood there for two seconds, then withdrew his hand that was about to open the door.
Is that knock at the door wrong? No, everything is wrong.
On the first night in the dungeon, when she hadn't figured out the pattern of danger, how could she have slept alone in bed without any precautions and only woken up by a knock on the door?
The moment the logical flaw appeared in his mind, true memories came flooding back, and Tang Xinjue's eyes immediately became clear.
As expected... As far as I can remember, they didn't sleep at all tonight, but chose to sit together and keep vigil. The lights in the dormitory were also on from beginning to end.
But now, my roommate is nowhere to be found, the lights are out, and only the knocking on the door keeps hitting my eardrums.
The perception spread from the palm of his hand. It was freezing cold outside the dormitory door, without any sign of life.
Without asking who was outside, Tang Xinjue withdrew his hand and closed his eyes.
[Mind Control (Level 1): The first step to control is self-control.]
[Isolating most of the interference from illusions is also the basis of mind control]
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Tang Xinjue suddenly opened his eyes.
The lights in the dormitory were bright, and the other three people who were leaning against their chairs had fallen asleep in a slumber without noticing the changes in the outside world.
The only thing that was the same as in the dream just now was the rapid knocking on the door.
This time, Tang Xinjue did not hesitate. He opened the door directly and pulled Jin Wen in while she opened her eyes in disbelief.
Jin Wen was so stimulated by the bright lights in the room that she could hardly open her eyes. Her legs were weak and she leaned against the door. Before she could recover from the fact that she was rescued, she saw that the weak girl who had just opened the door for her had quickly turned around and started to wake up her sleeping roommates one by one.
This is quite normal, but the way the other party wakes people up seems a little unusual?
Jin Wen's eyes widened in shock: Is that... a toilet plunger?
Under her shocked gaze, the weak girl raised a toilet plunger-like object that she had pulled out from somewhere and pointed it at the three people who could not be woken up no matter how hard she shook them.
The next moment, the rubber head of the toilet plunger shrank, and as if ten stereo surround speakers were turned on, a shrill and terrifying scream burst out from it!
