So this is what the customer service meant by "further investigation and communication"?
There was silence in the room for a moment.
Although I had known about the existence of the counselor for a long time, I was still a little confused when I was caught off guard by the "visit"——
They were totally unprepared!
And the email did not contain any detailed information, such as who the counselor is, when they will come, and what the specific procedures for the visit are...
Guo Guo covered his head and tried to escape: "Help! This is more terrifying than when my teacher made a surprise visit to my home when I was a kid!"
Zheng Wanqing's face wasn't looking good either. "This is even scarier than my advisor coming to me and asking me to re-select my research topic right after I submitted the first draft of my paper."
Most importantly, they still knew nothing about this "counselor." Was he malicious, well-intentioned, or neutral? Anything related to gaming always had a bad feeling.
Zhang You was worried: "I'll contact customer service this time to ask."
She opened the app and was about to jump to the customer service interface when the screen suddenly reported an error:
[Service hours have expired and the customer service representative has left the office.]
...This is a crappy game! If you don't want to do it, don't do it!
Tang Xin Jue counseled them, "Since this is something we can't change, there's no need to worry too much. From this perspective, we're actually safe."
Roommate: "Really? Why?"
Tang Xin Jue: "Because we are too weak."
roommate:"……"
Looking at the three speechless little faces, Tang Xin Jue smiled and said, "Have you noticed? This game has clear levels. Logically, the counselors' level should be far higher than all the ghosts we encounter. Compared to them, the students who have just entered the game are like ants trying to shake a tree. If they really do something unfavorable to us, we will be unable to resist."
"If the game is so intent on killing us, why not just tie all the students to trees and shoot them, then release the survivors back to reality."
Zhang You couldn't help but laugh. Zheng Wanqing showed off her two rows of white teeth, and the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
After joking, Tang Xinjue returned to his serious tone: "But we've survived until now, haven't we?"
When the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Even if you are in a desperate situation, there is at least a glimmer of hope.
After hearing this, everyone came to their senses, ate and drank as usual, and then continued the lottery as usual.
"Biscuits, water, water, biscuits..."
As he counted the same food over and over again, Guo Guo's expression became as dry as a biscuit.
"A bottle of Coke would be fine too!"
Before he finished speaking, a white light flashed in front of Tang Xinjue, and a large bottle of Coke appeared.
"Thank you, I forgive this world." Guo Guo is very easy to satisfy.
Since the effective score was small this time, the few people in total did not draw the spin wheel many times. Apart from food, they got some useless daily necessities, such as a ceramic mouthwash cup with a chipped corner, a flashlight without batteries, and chopsticks emitting an unknown foul smell.
Zhang You put them all into an unknown corner, and then started to clean up the dormitory. Not long after, the whole room looked brand new.
"No matter what time, you can't give up cleaning and organizing supplies."
Zhang You stretched out his hands: "All order in the world is the source of power!"
A barely perceptible breeze blew by, and a faint light flashed in Zhang You's hands.
Skills, recycling old things!
The next moment, a huge, white, unknown object emitting a cold air slammed to the ground.
Several people opened their eyes wide.
Especially Zhang, Guo and Zheng, even if they turned into ashes, they would never forget the psychological trauma they suffered at Grandma Mayas's house, especially the ice storage filled with "soup base".
If they were not mistaken, the white object before them was clearly a fragment of the freezer used to store soup base in the ice storage. There were still a few drops of green liquid on the edge of the fragment.
Guo Guo was shocked: "This thing can actually be recycled... Ugh!"
The extremely unpleasant stench quickly filled the entire dormitory, and the four of them began to retch and cover their mouths.
In the corridor outside the door, the heavy footsteps and scraping sounds that never stopped every day just reached the door, and the sound suddenly stopped for the first time.
Footsteps: "Ugh."
At this moment, 606 is so smelly that even unknown monsters think it stinks.
Zhang You, who had just finished cleaning and sprayed air freshener, said: "..."
At twelve o'clock in the morning, the freezer debris was finally cleaned up.
The green soup base was sealed layer by layer and stored in the mirror space. The cleaned ice chest fragments were placed next to the dormitory door. It happened to be a broken corner of the ice chest, which could be used for storage. It also contained the sewing kit that Tang Xinjue had obtained from Grandma Mayas.
The three people watching Zhang You's cleaning process could only express their admiration. It was as if they were not watching a cleaning, but a spell.
After the spell was cast, Zhang You was exhausted: "I'm going to take a shower first."
"Do you need some towels and shampoo?"
“This is my favorite luxury brand shower gel!”
"You can wash as much as you want. The bathroom is yours today!"
The three of them were extremely flattering.
Zhang You: "...You don't need to do any of that. If possible, please pray that I don't dream about the NPC's ice storage when I go to sleep. I really am—ugh."
Forget it, everything is self-explanatory.
They tossed and turned like this until one in the morning, when, with the news broadcast of the noseless ghost on TV, they finally got into bed and gradually fell asleep.
"Today, Grandma Mayas, who lives on the highway outside University Town, petitioned the Education Center overnight, requesting that they provide senior citizen subsidies. Upon learning that the Education Center did not have a senior services department, Grandma Mayas stood outside the center and angrily cursed for three hours. She then filed a police report, claiming her sewing kit had been stolen from her home. She then learned that the Education Center did not have a police department either..."
The Noseless Ghost sighed sympathetically, "Ah, the university town is such a cold place. I felt the same way when I wanted to get a nose job many times but found out there was no plastic surgery hospital here."
Ding Ding's warning sounded, urging the noseless ghost not to deviate from the topic.
The Noseless Ghost stuck out his meter-long tongue and continued reading. "Recently, in preparation for the University Town's first weekend competition, three universities are intensively searching for courses that can help students prepare for the competition. Meanwhile, the three universities, citing the excuse that 'you don't have any new students,' refused to cooperate with the first and second tier universities. As the conflict escalated, the newly repaired gates of the three universities were once again damaged..."
The noseless ghost's voice suddenly stopped. It raised its head and looked outside the screen with terrified eyes, as if it had sensed something very terrifying.
As heavy footsteps patrolled the corridor, the noseless ghost began to tremble, its mouth moving but unable to utter a word. Too frightened, its eyeballs squeezed out of their sockets and fell into its hands. Finally, the ghost simply burrowed under the table and gave up on continuing to broadcast.
Sizzle——
The TV screen is black.
Tang Xinjue heard someone calling him.
She struggled to get up and found herself lying at the bottom of a damp, dark cave.
Looking around, there was no exit of the cave, only a small circular gap at the top, from which thin light shone in, illuminating the extremely dark and deep cave.
After carefully observing the cave wall, Tang Xinjue discovered that this cave was similar to the shape of a triangular bottle. The space became larger as it went down. At the top, there was only a small hole, but the bottom was so wide that the edge could not be seen and the area could not be estimated.
The call was faint in the distance, sometimes louder, sometimes weaker. Not only could he not tell who it was, he couldn't even tell if it was a man or a woman. Tang Xinjue walked forward tentatively, and deeper into the cave, he finally saw the source of the voice.
It turned out that this voice did not belong to anyone.
It is the calling of a group of people.
The group seemed to include both men and women, tall and short. Half of their figures stood in the light, and half were immersed in the darkness, making it difficult to see their specific clothing and appearance.
Some of them were waving, some were shrinking back, some were standing still, and some were shaking.
Tang Xinjue was sure that he didn't know these people.
But why did they call themselves?
Tang Xinjue couldn't hear their voices clearly, but he could sense that they were indeed calling him.
Where is this? Who are they?
Tang Xinjue unconsciously walked forward, as if he could see everything clearly if he took another step closer...
But just as he raised his leg, a sharp pain shot up from his chest. Tang Xinjue spat out a mouthful of blood and covered his head.
The pain returned to her head, and the tinnitus in her ears was like thunder, giving her a splitting headache.
Something is wrong!
Tang Xinjue retracted her legs and stepped back, but a force pulled her forward, which was contrary to her own will.
At the critical moment, she immediately concentrated her mental strength, trying to regain control of her body. Finally, she managed to resist the control of that force and stayed in place.
The speed at which his mental energy was consumed was unimaginable. It was drained out in no time. A huge feeling of fatigue came over him, and Tang Xinjue could only grit his teeth and persevere.
Her intuition told her that she must not be controlled and must not move forward!
"Sizzle—"
An untimely scraping sound came from the top of the cave, which made Tang Xinjue shudder. He looked up and followed the familiar sound.
“Bang, bang!”
This time there were heavy footsteps.
The voice became more familiar. Tang Xinjue tried hard to find its identity in his mind, wanting to grasp something -
She remembered.
The strange noise came from an unknown creature patrolling the corridor outside the dormitory door day and night.
She should have been in her dorm, not in this cave. This wasn't reality, but... a dream.
The moment she figured it out, she suddenly opened her eyes and her consciousness returned to reality!
She was no longer in bed, but had climbed down from the bed at some point and walked to the balcony window.
Outside the balcony window, a huge red eyeball, filling the entire front window, was looking at her coldly.
There was no kindness in its eyes.
Tang Xinjue's thoughts suddenly turned, and just as she was about to speak, the voice of the eyeball pierced her mind first:
"Dark creature, how did you sneak into the human student dormitory?"
