Critical No.3 Middle School 4
Tomorrow’s affairs will be tomorrow’s business, and today certainly cannot end like this.
A group of four people planned to go to the outskirts of the area to get some necessary supplies before deciding on the next move. Probably because it was a break, they didn't encounter any trouble along the way.
Lin Shu was a chatty person, and couldn't help but strike up a conversation as they walked, "New guy, how many times have you gone through physical training?"
"Twice." Ji Yunding answered honestly. In the closed training a few days ago, Ji Yunding sat on the machine loaded with negative energy again.
When the familiar stinging pain reached beneath the body and deeper into the internal organs, it instantly disappeared just like last time, like a river flowing into the sea.
Tang Yun wondered why Ji Yunding consumed so much negative energy every time, and Ji Yunding could only pretend to be silent like a little mouse that had stolen food.
In addition, Ji Yunding came up with a bolder idea.
"Sister Lin, if there is anyone who can use bipolar energy like the team leader..."
"That would be a big problem."
Hearing Lin Shu say this, Ji Yunding paused for a moment, pretending to be calm and asked the reason.
"You know, the boss can open the extradimensional channel because of this, but it hurts so much that Ji Changsheng almost cured his painlessness because he was so curious."
Ji Changsheng shuddered, a little scared: "That's not physical pain at all... How should I put it, I would rather go back to my family and stay for another two years."
"Even if we don't open the extradimensional channel, there are still many other uses..."
Ji Yunding saw that Ji Liuxing could blow up the wall with just a raise of his hand, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Does the person you are talking about have family, friends or lovers?"
Lin Shu shook his head and patted Ji Yunding on the shoulder.
"Someone will force him to open it, using various means."
Ji Yunding was silent for a moment. She realized that after being in the same group for a year and a half, she had almost forgotten what the real world was like.
It is better to say that this shelter created by Ji Liuxing for freaks is like a dream.
"Okay, new guy, let's not talk about these annoying things. If you really meet this kind of person, be sure to bring him to a group first and don't let others know."
Ji Yunding nodded. When it came to creatures other than monsters, Ji Liuxing was probably the most trustworthy person.
But because of this, Ji Yunding always felt that Ji Liuxing was relying on his own abilities to be unable to guess the truth, and was unscrupulously exposing his weird traits in front of him, which made him feel like he was being bullied.
Forget it. The team leader is 24 years old and it is the age where he should make mistakes and suffer losses. I will ask him how to control negative energy some other day.
Twenty-year-old Ji Yunding nodded and convinced himself.
"The new guy left to work overtime." Lin Shu shook his head and pulled Ji Yunding. "The target is to trigger thirty-nine strange stories. Generally, each person in our team has to solve five to six."
"yes."
Wei Qianqiu nodded and turned to go in the opposite direction. Ji Changsheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "See you tomorrow during the break. Be careful not to die."
Look for regional legends among the fixed legends, whose behavior is similar to that of the protagonists seeking death in horror movies.
For example, now, Ji Yunding was looking at a door that was covered with seals and oozing with a strange red liquid, with a sign with unclear words hanging next to it, and he waved to Lin Shu.
"Sister Lin, this must be it, right?"
"It would be best if... my luck was really bad today. I couldn't even find the bottom of the well."
Lin Shu had a skull on his head that he had picked up from somewhere - it wasn't because of a ghost story, he just wore it for fun.
"How's Sister Qianqiu doing?"
"They found an underground garage and have started."
Lin Shuyi lowered his head, caught the skull that was sliding down due to gravity with his right hand, and gently placed it on the side of the road.
"Let's go, this should be the only one we can handle tonight."
Ji Yunding nodded, raised his hand to tear open the seal, pushed the door open and walked in.
A long and narrow corridor with a mirror at the end - an unpleasant layout. As one walks forward, one has to keep looking at one's own reflection getting closer and closer.
Several doors around were locked and could not be opened for the moment, so Ji Yunding walked forward, staring at himself in the mirror unconsciously.
Sometimes, people feel that the person in the mirror is strange. When getting up at night to go to the bathroom, many people will have an inexplicable alertness to themselves in the mirror - perhaps it is an instinct left over from the barbaric era to be wary of other humanoid creatures.
As he walked, he came to a place about two steps away, and then Ji Yunding raised his hand and turned on the faucet.
This design is simply incomprehensible. Who wants to wash their hands here?
However, no water flowed out of the faucet. Instead, after making an almost sharp explosion sound caused by air compression, a pile of sticky insect corpses with shells and tentacles slowly squeezed out.
Click.
There was a sound similar to a bone breaking. Ji Yunding looked up and saw her in the mirror twisting her neck and looking to the right with a look of horror.
Ji Yunding didn't feel anything and was about to turn his head to the right out of curiosity, but was stopped by the person behind him.
"Newbie, don't move."
Lin Shu pinched Ji Yunding's face from behind with his left hand.
“Don’t follow its lead.”
Ji Yunding was about to agree, but suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Sister Lin Shu is actually a supporting type with extremely strong special abilities, so she has some strange flaws in actual combat.
For example, she has not practiced ambidexterity and is right-handed.
At the same time, the surroundings suddenly darkened. Ji Yunding saw that Lin Shu in the mirror was still some distance away from her, while the other "Ji Yunding" raised his lips to her and turned to walk next to Lin Shu.
So, where is this place?
Ji Yunding watched as a note gradually emerged next to the mirror.
【Welcome to the world in the mirror. When you see this, first of all, congratulations, you didn’t respond to it too quickly.
1. Don't look back, don't respond.
2. Find it, kill it, get rid of it.
3. Don’t leave until you have completed Rule 2.
4. If you violate rule 3, please be careful in your future life. 】
Ji Yunding felt the hand pinching his face gradually become dry and a little sticky. The fishy smell lingering at the tip of his nose was lingering, and the "thing" behind him that belonged to someone unknown seemed to gradually press down on Ji Yunding.
However, almost in an instant, Ji Yunding thought of the most suitable solution for this scenario.
Over the shoulder throw!
However, as soon as Ji Yunding exerted force, he immediately felt the weight on his back disappear in an instant, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground. However, the situation was different now, and Ji Yunding could still keep his body steady.
Then, the mirror disappeared, and the surroundings became pitch black, with only a long and narrow corridor that seemed to have no end.
"It has to be done as soon as possible..." Ji Yunding muttered a few words to himself and immediately shut up.
Now she is in the light and the other party is in the dark, so she needs to control this problem.
It had to be done as soon as possible, because that unknown thing was still next to Lin Shu. Moreover, if Lin Shu found out, Ji Yunding had been replaced right under her nose...
"Senior, please disconnect the audio link. I'm in some trouble here."
Ji Yunding suddenly felt that all the sounds that did not belong to this place disappeared, while the sound of dripping water became particularly clear and audible.
Let's go, move forward.
Dark and narrow spaces would bring invisible pressure to most people, but fortunately Ji Yunding was not one of them. She didn't like dark places very much, but that was the only thing she didn't like - in fact, she was more adapted to this kind of environment.
If a person is suddenly locked in a small dark room for a long time, he may be afraid, suffer from psychological trauma, and suffer from claustrophobia.
But if she lived here before she could remember, then for her it was written into her nature.
For Ji Yunding, this is an environment that is more suitable for her nature - even if she subjectively does not like this feeling of adaptation.
The damp air and musty smell filled the entire space. There were faint spots of mold on the wall, and the wallpaper had peeled off a bit, forming staggered light black and dark black in the darkness.
After entering university, Ji Yunding gradually understood many things about the other world. For example, if the mind is calm, the spirit is focused, and if the mind is disturbed, the spirit is scattered.
The more panicked you are, the easier it is for the weird to take advantage of you. Even if you are attacked by the same spirit, some people can stay awake, while others will fall into a state of confusion and cannot extricate themselves.
At this moment, Ji Yunding felt in a good mood. If it was Lin Shu who came in, he would definitely have to bear greater psychological pressure because of the environment, but Ji Yunding...
Smash things everywhere and create some disruption to the weird and peaceful life.
Every time she passed a door, Ji Yunding tried to knock it, but she couldn't open it. Theoretically, this old wooden door shouldn't be able to stop Ji Yunding, but there seemed to be some force behind it preventing her from opening it.
A senior once complained that Ji Yunding’s greatest talent is that she just acts on her own, and the situation will inexplicably become funny, so that the mental state of the entire team will improve.
In fact, the originally somewhat terrifying atmosphere became like a demolition site amid the clanging sounds of smashing and smashing, as if Ji Yunding was going to drive an excavator over and flatten the place in the next second.
After realizing that he couldn't break it open, Ji Yunding sat down on the spot, crossed his legs and closed his eyes. He watched the situation on Wei Qianqiu's side while quietly listening to the sounds around him.
Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes...
This superficial feeling of loneliness is nothing compared to the previous feeling.
Ji Yunding didn't open his eyes until he heard a noise. He instantly met a pair of eyes that were so cloudy that the irises and whites were almost stuck together, and full of red bloodshot.
A naked upper body humanoid creature sat opposite Ji Yunding, its long weed-like hair covering most of its face, only revealing a few yellowed teeth crookedly embedded in scarlet gums. And under its skin, something seemed to be crawling and stirring.
If you can't respond, then try to initiate the conversation.
"Can you speak?"
Oops, I switched to the wrong conversation state. It seems like I’m looking for trouble.
However, I never expected that a strange laugh suddenly came from the opposite side, which started as a low chuckle and gradually became crazy.
It seems like they are the type that cannot communicate.
Ji Yunding shook his head, and then became a little confused - this guy's behavior didn't seem to worry that Ji Yunding would kill it.
Never mind, we have to kill him anyway.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunding walked forward and with just a little force, the flesh on the opponent's neck twisted elastically like jelly, and then blood spurted out.
The whole process went so smoothly that Ji Yunding was a little surprised, but she soon found out the reason.
Looking inside the wound, one could clearly see disgusting tentacles moving. Its body was crawling with cockroaches, gnawing at it from the inside.
As soon as Ji Yunding let go of the head, it fell to the ground. Several cockroaches as big as palms flew out from the broken end and quickly crawled back into its head.
Ji Yunding stepped over the corpse and looked at the glowing floor-to-ceiling mirror in front of him, knowing that this should be the exit.
After walking forward a few hundred steps and standing in front of the mirror, Ji Yunding saw the other side of the mirror - it seemed to be connected to a room. Lin Shu was pressing "Ji Yunding" to the ground and saying something, with suppressed fear in his furious expression.
Sister Lin Shu seems to be doing well as well.
Ji Yunding knew that Lin Shu was probably asking her whereabouts, and was about to leave quickly, but suddenly she felt something was wrong.
Find it, kill it, get rid of it...
This order does not seem to follow the usual progression.
Ji Yunding lowered his head and looked at the ground. Some light came from the mirror, shining on the sleek back of some crustacean creature and being refracted to the side.
"Ah, cockroach."
In the vague field of vision, the cockroach quickly crawled backwards, but within a few seconds it made a slimy sound as it drilled back into the flesh.
Judging from the time, the corpse, which could not be called "fresh", should be about three steps behind Ji Yunding.
Ji Yunding tried to walk backwards for a few steps, but he couldn't see the body. The only explanation was that it seemed to be following Ji Yunding.
"This is so troublesome. If I can't turn around... backflip?"
Ji Yunding thought about it carefully and shook his head again.
No, if I want to make a move, I have to turn around anyway. Should I carry the floor-length mirror and walk forward a few steps to look for clues? Or try to move quickly...
There is no time.
Ji Yunding watched as Lin Shu's condition became increasingly unstable, with some blood appearing on the whites of his eyes, and he sighed slightly.
She still couldn't make Sister Lin Shu trust her.
"Sister Lin Shu, I'm here, don't use your abilities!"
