School Rules
Of these two choices, the former is undoubtedly easier, while the latter requires confronting the NPCs in the dungeon. Players are unwilling to make enemies with the NPCs unless it is absolutely necessary.
However, the atmosphere among everyone was very silent. Meng Zhu was indeed a pitiful person, but at the same time she also caused the deaths of many innocent students. But this was not the reason why everyone could not take action. The focus now was how to find Meng Zhu.
Although everyone had contact with her, no one was able to find her actively. According to Sheng Ju, she was very likely to disguise herself as someone else, which undoubtedly made everyone's task more difficult.
A student walked over and glanced at them. In fact, he was just curious about the heavy atmosphere between them, but Sheng Ju was shocked. He watched the student vigilantly as he left. He was so scared that he dared not let anyone get close to him again.
A simple meeting without any decision.
Today is Sunday, and there is a weekly test arranged by the school. Everyone has not discussed the results, so they have gone back to their own groups, preparing to sharpen their skills before the battle. After all, they don’t know how long they will have to stay here. If they haven’t left the dungeon before the results come out, then the bottom ten in this exam will be punished, and no one dares to bet on the severity of this punishment.
When Peng Ningyu was taking an exam, she always felt that there were malicious eyes staring at her from behind. She turned around and looked around the classroom but could not find anything. She could not help rubbing her arms, wondering if she was really being targeted by the dream master and was possessed by him at night.
She thought for a while and noticed a new gaze. This time she turned around quickly and caught Long Yao's gaze before he could look away.

This morning when everyone was discussing the copy situation, Long Yao did not speak and also concealed something.
He had experienced a similar copy before. The protagonist didn't know that he was dead and continued his previous life as a "living dead". The player's task was to "wake up" the protagonist. The method he used at that time was to let the protagonist relive the death scene.
Although bloody, violent and cruel, the effect is very good. There is even no part where the protagonist turns into a demon the moment he realizes his death.
Because the protagonist is in too much pain, he has no time to attack the player.
If female students were made to relive the death scenario...
Long Yao pulled his chin as he thought, his face expressionless and he looked very heartless. What was the cause of her death?
Bullied? Silenced by the principal? Committed suicide because of being punished by family for violating school rules?
Long Yao had only seen the female student from a distance and could not see any clues from the scars on her body, so he had no idea.
but……
His gaze once again turned to Peng Ningyu who was answering the questions seriously in front of him. Was it the female student who disguised herself as Peng Ningyu, or was Peng Ningyu unconscious from the beginning and was possessed by the female student?
Doesn’t this explanation just happen to reasonably explain the various abnormalities that occurred in Peng Ningyu?
Long Yao curled the corners of his lips, his eyes turned cold, and he decided to try her tonight.
The invigilator was the teacher of the class. He saw Long Yao holding his chin in a daze, so he walked down from the podium and stood beside Long Yao. After a quick glance, he found that Long Yao's test paper was already filled in, so he walked back.
Sheng Ju saw the invigilator walk towards Long Yao out of the corner of his eye. He glanced at him, but didn't take it seriously and picked up his pen to start writing the test again.
Maybe it was because the revision of the copy took effect, the questions in this weekly test were not difficult for them, and even if there were difficult questions, they were the types of questions they had reviewed. It might be that they wanted to take advantage of the school rule of "there will be punishment for declining grades" to deal with the players in the next weekly test.
But with a week's time, Sheng Ju estimated that they should be able to leave the dungeon within this time, so he started writing without hesitation and filled in all the possible entries to avoid being ranked in the bottom ten and being punished this week.
There is no need to say more about He Lizhou. He and Peng Ningyu studied textbooks and test papers together. The two of them hardly raised their heads, and their pens made a loud noise.
Exams are always quick, and because you can relax and rest after the exam, it is much more relaxing than normal classes. After the exam, Sheng Ju still felt unsatisfied, "Let's arrange another exam sometime."
Peng Ningyu laughed at him, "You are a pure high school student, but Boss He is not. You will write for Boss He in the next exam."
Sheng Ju smiled and said, "Of course no problem."
Perhaps because they had resolved a worry, they were in a good mood. They greeted each other at the dormitory door and entered two opposite teaching buildings separately.
*
This time, Long Yao didn't need to bring He Lizhou with him, so he didn't need to wait until the dormitory manager finished checking the dormitories. He didn't return to his dormitory at all. He saw Peng Ningyu enter the dormitory door from the window in the corridor.
He waited until half past eleven at night and saw Peng Ningyu, who had not come out since entering the dormitory, appear in the corridor on the other side.
Peng Ningyu was already accustomed to changing places in the middle of the night. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was the girls' dormitory. She looked up for the house number as usual, repositioned herself, and prepared to return to the "temporary dormitory" where she had been staying for the past few days.
Just as she reached the dormitory door, she heard a sound coming from the stairwell. After turning off the lights every night, the dormitory manager would close the fire door when checking the dormitories. What Peng Ningyu heard was the sound of the heavy fire door being pushed open.
There wouldn't be anyone else at this time, so she looked back and saw a figure revealed as the door was slowly pushed open.
It’s Long Yao.
Peng Ningyu was a little confused. Just as she was about to ask, she remembered what happened to Sheng Ju this morning. She looked alert and held the door handle of the dormitory. "Why are you here?"
Long Yao was facing the moonlight, so Peng Ningyu couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could clearly see the vigilance in Peng Ningyu's eyes. "He Lizhou and Sheng Ju are in trouble. I'm here to call you. We must leave immediately."
When Peng Ningyu heard the word "leave", he actually believed Long Yao's identity. If it was the dream master, he would not say such words as leaving the copy, but he still asked, "What happened?"
Long Yao raised his head slightly, "You will know if you go and take a look. I can't explain it clearly. He Lizhou has been calling for you and will only tell you his clues if you are with him."
This is indeed He Lizhou's character. Peng Ningyu waved her hand and asked Long Yao to walk in front. Long Yao also doubted Peng Ningyu's identity and naturally refused. In the end, the two chose to go downstairs side by side.
After walking out of the dormitory building, there is a wide open space. Peng Ningyu asked: "Where are they?"
Long Yao crossed his arms and frowned, as if he was really worried about the clues mentioned by He Lizhou. "Principal's office, we were going to go see if there were any other clues today, but we were discovered and seriously injured."
Peng Ningyu looked at him for a while, pursed her lips, and asked, "So you just left them and ran over here?"
Her face was full of disapproval, but Long Yao didn't think it was a big deal. Not to mention that he had made it up, even if it really happened, he didn't think he had done anything wrong.
Isn't it normal to put clues first?
Seeing that Long Yao looked indifferent, Peng Ningyu knew that she couldn't explain it to him clearly, so she simply asked him to lead the way and went to the principal's office immediately.
When Long Yao heard this, relying on the fact that he was taller than Peng Ningyu and she couldn't see his expression, he curled his lips slightly and said, "Okay, don't lose me."
Peng Ningyu nodded coldly.
Both of them were trying to hurry up, so their speed was naturally not slow. In just three to five minutes, they arrived at the abandoned teaching building yesterday. Long Yao raised his hand and pointed to the location of the fifth floor. "That's the room on the fifth floor."
The principal's office was the same as yesterday, nothing had been moved away. The only new person was the principal, who was sitting firmly in his chair with a grim look on his face.
In fact, Long Yao had already anticipated this. They had successfully launched a sneak attack in the middle of the night yesterday. Regardless of whether they would go today or not, the principal would be waiting for them. This was exactly within his plan. He let "Peng Ningyu" meet with the principal to see if there was anything abnormal between the two.
Peng Ningyu was shocked, but she didn't feel scared. She felt more hatred. She probably thought it was the principal who hurt He Lizhou and the others. Needless to say, the principal's eyes were full of anger. "How dare you come here!"
Peng Ningyu sneered and asked, "Why not come?"
After saying that, she turned around. She was originally in the front with Long Yao behind her, but now she was in the front with Long Yao facing the principal.
"Brother Longyao, come on!"
In fact, Long Yao had already determined that Peng Ningyu was still Peng Ningyu, at least not the dreamer at the moment. He did not react to her move at all and suddenly faced the principal.
The principal saw Long Yao's face clearly and became even angrier. "You didn't get caught by me yesterday, but you dare to show up under my nose today!"
He didn't know what means he used, but in the blink of an eye he was in front of Long Yao and stretched out his hand to grab Long Yao. Long Yao had no choice but to fight back.
At this time, Peng Ningyu had already seized the opportunity. When the two people entangled and entered the house, she slammed the door shut, buying herself time to escape.
Only then did Long Yao realize that he had been tricked by Peng Ningyu. He gritted his teeth and broke free from the principal's entanglement, opened the door and fled downstairs. The principal naturally would not let go of the student who had violated the rules, as he was old but very fast.
Long Yao grabbed the handrail on the stairs, did a half somersault and returned to the principal's back, then kicked him down the stairs. The principal rolled down the stairs and hit Peng Ningyu.
Peng Ningyu looked up and saw Long Yao folding his arms, leaning on the handrail and smiling at her, then turning around and jumping out of the upstairs window.
The first thing Long Yao did when he arrived outside the building was to lock the building from the outside.
The reason for the principal's office was that the door could always be opened from the inside, but the lock to the building was one he brought himself. Although it was just an ordinary lock, it was enough to deal with this kind of situation. It was a lock that could only be opened from the outside.
The principal was furious when he saw the student he had captured run away. He transferred all his anger to Peng Ningyu and attacked Peng Ningyu without leaving any room for him.
Peng Ningyu had a hard time dodging and was injured in a few hits. The corners of her lips were bleeding and her clothes were scratched into pieces by the principal's nails.
Damn, is this a human or a zombie?
Peng Ningyu covered the wound that had just been added, and couldn't help but curse the cheater in his heart.
She gritted her teeth, not having time to feel bad because she only had three chances left and the rest of the props were in the recovery period. She struck a match and threw it into the principal's collar.
At this moment, the communication dagger with He Lizhou finally sounded.
