"Okay, we'll stay here with you tonight."
Gu Tian is a veteran player. The two players who came with him kept silent and listened to him.
After adjusting his state, Gu Tian continued, "Besides the clues in the archives, do you have any other clues?"
"The three idiots next door refused to share any clues with us. All we know now is that this school once experienced a brutal bullying incident."
"There are no other clues at the moment." Chen Hou shook his head, "But we know there are clues in the cafeteria."
"I know there's a clue in the cafeteria. The dead player is my friend."
Gu Tian's face was filled with sorrow and regret. "He was too arrogant. He insisted on looking for clues alone, and ended up dying like this. If I had known he would die, I would have stopped him no matter what."
Hu Bin said, "How did he know there was a clue in the cafeteria?"
"I don't know." Gu Tian recalled his friend's expression the night before. "I only know that he looked very confident, which is the main reason why I didn't stop him."
His friend was also a veteran player and had a lot of props on him, so he let him look for clues.
After a pause, Gu Tian asked, "You knew there was a clue in the cafeteria, why didn't you go and find it?"
With three of us together, there shouldn't be any big problems.
"I went there, but didn't dare to explore, so I came back." Chen Hou briefly described the three unclear rules of the cafeteria and the death of Zheng Xing.
"So, two players have already died in the cafeteria?" Gu Tian said with a look of fear. "Luckily, we were cautious and knew the cafeteria was dangerous, so we bought our food from the school supermarket."
Chen Hou rubbed his brows. "This dungeon is very strange. The level is obviously not high, but the clues are hard to come by."
"Perhaps we can try to deduce the secrets of this school based on the clues we have."
"I don't think it's complicated." Gu Tian took a notebook from the bed next to him and wrote two words on it with a pen -
Bullying.
"It's all in the file. Ji Yunzhou is the bully."
"Those he bullied probably couldn't stand the torture for a long time and died of depression or committed suicide."
"These dead people turned into vengeful spirits and are trapped in the school forever."
"Their resentment was so strong that it was detected by the horror game, and a copy was automatically generated."
"Ji Yunzhou might be the son of a school leader. Anyway, someone above him is protecting him, so he's fine. Yeah, yes, this must be the secret of this school."
Hu Bin was speechless after hearing this, deeply feeling that the other party did not seem like a veteran player at all. "It's so simple, we can also think of it, but the exploration level of the dungeon has only increased by 10%."
Gu Tian was stunned. After checking the exploration level of the copy, he looked incredulous.
"This clue is so obvious, why is it only given a 10 exploration level?"
He went through countless low-level and mid-level copies and was able to basically complete the entire main storyline through one or two clues.
Why is this copy only advanced 1/10?
"Is there a bug in the horror game system?"
Everyone: “…”
"Okay." Gu Tian said with a headache, "I thought this secret was too simple."
"Have you asked your classmates what kind of person Ji Yunzhou is?"
"I asked." Chen Hou also took out a pen and wrote on the paper. "I only said a surname, and they showed expressions of fear and despair, and then ran away."
He wrote "季" and drew two question marks after it.
"I think this reaction is normal. Isn't this the reaction of a normal person hearing the bully's name?"
Gu Tian felt more and more that his inference was correct, and circled the word "bullying" again.
Not to mention Gu Tian, everyone present felt that this statement was very correct.
However, the degree of dungeon exploration actually told them that this statement was only slightly correct.
"You need to use your brain." Hu Bin said expressionlessly.
Curly-haired boy and another decent-looking boy nodded in agreement.
Using clues to infer follow-up results only advanced 10%, which really requires some thinking.
"Is there a possibility that the clues we found are false?" Su Bei, who had been immersed in fear, suddenly spoke.
Fake?
Everyone looked stunned.
"We are all not new here, and we have all experienced low-level dungeons."
"Usually, we can clear an entire instance with just one or two clues, or at least 50% of it. But in this instance, we've only cleared 10%. Don't you find that strange?"
It's strange indeed.
Everyone followed Su Bei's thoughts and fell into deep thought.
"So I think the file we found might be a fake file."
Su Bei took the pen from Chen Hou's hand and added a question mark after the word "bullying".
"Is it possible that Ji Yunzhou is the one being bullied?"
? !
"Oh my god."
Gu Tian was so excited that his neck turned red. "The dungeon exploration level has increased to 30%."
"Su Bei is right, Ji Yunzhou is the one being bullied!"
Su Bei wrote down the three characters "Ji Yunzhou". "The key point of the copy is always him. We must get the truth out of him."
"He's Zhou Nan's boyfriend." Gu Tian gestured as if they were hugging each other. "We've offended Zhou Nan. Is he willing to tell us this?"
"We may not have the chance to get close to Ji Yunzhou." He sighed.
"Let's try it tomorrow." Su Bei exhaled.
He couldn't hide the fear in his pupils. In order to pass the dungeon, he gritted his teeth and said:
"After school tomorrow at noon, I'll send Zhou Nan away with an apology. You guys find a chance to talk to Ji Yunzhou."
"Gu Tian, don't you have an intermediate item that can make the other party tell the truth?"
"Use it on Ji Yunzhou."
"As long as he tells us everything." Su Bei drew a circle on the paper, "the dungeon exploration level will be full."
He took his time.
As long as Zhou Nan is delayed, he can be teleported away directly once the dungeon exploration reaches 100%.
Even if he was beaten half to death, he would be able to recover completely when he returned to the rest stop.
This is a big gamble.
As long as he could do it, he could leave this nightmarish place.
Thinking of the soul separating from the body, that strange scene, Su Bei broke out in a cold sweat.
Must leave, leave this damn place.
Gu Tian was reluctant to give up his intermediate props, but when he thought about the fact that he had only explored 10% of it...
"Okay, as long as you can hold Zhou Nan back, I will use the props directly on Ji Yunzhou."
You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. It's just a prop anyway.
If he fails to find any clues in the next few days, he will die in the copy forever.
By then, no matter how many props you have, they will be useless.
"Su Bei, I believe you again."
Gu Tian forced a smile.
It was a very stiff smile, because he wasn't sure if tomorrow's plans would go smoothly.
