84 Xiyue High School 5
◎The game begins◎
I don't know who the hell got a towel full of makeup remover oil and smeared it on her face! Sang Mian looked at her shiny self in the mirror and almost lost control of her emotions and went crazy.
"I appeal! Someone is deliberately disrupting the game!"
Judge No. 4 was an old female judge. She pinned her short silver hair behind her head and said sympathetically, "The beauty pageant supports behaviors that disrupt the competition. This is a good quality of Xiyue High School."
Sang Mian wiped the makeup remover off her eyes vigorously: "But..."
Judge No. 5 said sternly, "No buts. Please wait for the grading."
Sang Mian wanted to say more, but was stopped by the judges' warning look.
All five judges gave her an extremely low score of 10 points. On the panel, she watched helplessly as her ranking from second place dropped to 199th.
"Student, you can go down now." The judge closed the pen cap and announced the final ranking.
Xia Qing saw Sang Mian return to her seat with an unhappy look on her face. The first thing she noticed was Sang Mian's clean face: "Sister Sang, what's wrong with your face!"
It was only five minutes, could it be that the judges removed Sister Sang’s makeup?
Sang Mian told what had just happened.
Xia Qing slapped the chair and said, "How abominable! Who did this?"
According to Sang Mian, the man was as fast as the wind and his appearance could not be seen clearly. It was very likely that he used a skill card. Bai Tang affirmed: "It must have been done by the doctor. There are four of them. Who knows who has the identity skill related to speed."
That’s right. Sang Mian also knew it. She knew the doctor had bad intentions before giving the score. She thought he wouldn’t dare to do anything in front of everyone, but she didn’t expect him to be so bold.
But the ranking has been finalized and it is impossible to change it. Their dormitory is now at risk of being chosen by cats first at night. There are only two options before them: face the risk or take the initiative to withdraw.
Xia Qing said with a lack of confidence: "The day is not over yet...Should we quit the game?"
The doctor sitting in front of them turned around and looked at them and smiled: "Automatic withdrawal is indeed a good option."
The sarcasm in his mouth was evident, Xia Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Villain!"
The doctor acted innocently and said, "I don't understand what you are saying."
Sang Mian gave a professional fake smile: "You can't even understand what people say? Could it be that we are not the same species?"
"You're just good at talking nonsense." The doctor was in a good mood. "Whatever you say, it's less than two hours before dark. You better make your choice as soon as possible."
After the beauty pageant ended, more than twenty players were ranked outside the top 100. Except for Sang Mian's group, the rest of the teams chose to be eliminated automatically.
[The first round of eliminations has officially ended. Congratulations to all players for making it to the top 100! ]
[Five groups of players have chosen to quit. We feel sorry for them! There is one hour and five minutes left to quit the game. Players who have not chosen please choose as soon as possible! ]
[Please return to the dormitory as soon as possible. The cat-and-mouse game is about to begin. Students who are not in the dormitory after nightfall will be forcibly killed by the system! ]
The players in the conference hall rushed to the dormitory building. The sky outside gradually darkened. A blood-red moon emerged in the sky. The dark red moonlight enveloped Xiyue High School, and a thin layer of fog rose in the school.
"This place looks like the filming location for a horror TV show." Xia Qing complained as he pulled his red school uniform jacket closer. The temperature dropped as night fell, and the thin school uniform could not withstand the cold air at all.
"This place is scarier than the filming location. There are no real ghosts at the filming location." Bai Tang shuddered coldly: "Mianmian, we have to make a choice as soon as possible."
In the game panel, Sang Mian glanced at the audience. During her peak period, the number of viewers exceeded 100,000, but now there are only more than 1,000. If she chooses to leave the game, she can only take back more than 1 billion ghost coins, which is equivalent to a one-day trip to Xiyue High School. No matter how she thinks about it, she feels unwilling.
“Do you think the audience will watch the cat and mouse segment?” Sang Mian asked in surprise.
Bai Tang: "Of course, cat and mouse is an important part, and the whole process will be broadcast live."
She didn’t understand why Mianmian asked such a simple question. Was it because the blow just now was too great?
Sang Mian patted his chest and said, "What are you afraid of? We have so many skill cards and identity skills, why are we afraid of a cat? Maybe today's show will be enough to fill up our live broadcast room."
There was only one cat on the first day, and it was no problem for the three of them to survive. Bai Tang and Xia Qing thought about it and felt that what Sang Mian said made sense. They were really unwilling to quit on the first day. Who wouldn't want the 300th anniversary gift package?
Bai Tang: “It’s feasible!”
Xia Qing waved his little fist: "As long as you are not afraid, I am not afraid either."
After the discussion, the three of them ran back to the dormitory like rabbits. When the doctor saw their backs in the corridor, the book in his hand fell to the ground with a "pop".
"Aren't they afraid? Why don't they quit the game?"
He Suoqi helped him pick up the book: "It's expected. If it were you, you wouldn't choose to leave either."
The doctor said expressionlessly: "Then I look forward to the night even more."
The dormitory was warm; Xiyue College had adequate heating. Not long after returning to the dormitory, the three of them felt so hot that they took off their coats. The dormitory remained the same as they had left it, with the curtains half-open, facing the playground outside.
Unfortunately, there was heavy fog and we couldn't see anything.
Bai Tang simply pulled the curtains, and the three of them sat on the bed waiting for eight o'clock in the evening.
"The dormitories at Xiyue University are much better than those at my school." Xia Qing touched the bed and said with emotion: "Students at Xiyue University are treated so well."
She didn't remove her makeup, and the expression on her horrifying face was extremely terrifying.
Bai Tang felt uneasy when he saw Xiao Qing's face, and thought that he would be scared to death if he saw it in the middle of the night.
"Xiaoqing, let's take off our makeup first."
Xia Qing touched her face and asked, "Is there something wrong with my makeup? Is it smudged?"
Bai Tang: "No, don't you think it's scary?"
The two looked at each other and walked into the bathroom in tacit understanding.
Sang Mian was thinking about the cat and mouse game in the evening. Since their dormitory would be chosen first, they should prepare in advance.
From the name of the game, she roughly guessed that it was a chasing game. Needless to say, the consequences of a cat catching a mouse would be that it would become a delicious midnight snack, so it was important to avoid cats.
Sang Mian clicked on the game rules that were posted before. There are two important rules about the cat and mouse game.
[Every day, a cat will be added to the cat and mouse game at night, and cats can be eliminated]
[If you get a reward from the audience, you will be punished once. If you get punished three times, you can expel a cat (Note: the cat must be a teacher, but the teacher is not necessarily a cat. Expulsion can only be done during the day, and expulsion means elimination)]
So they not only have to avoid cats, but also observe the characteristics of cats and use penalties to expel cats. In general, this game is not easy. The ultimate goal of the player is to eliminate the cats, so even if there is no elimination round, the player has to face the cats head-on.
"Mianmian, do you want to wash your face?" Bai Tang came out of the bathroom and saw Sang Mian holding up her head, wondering what she was thinking. Under the incandescent light, the makeup removed on Sang Mian's face reflected a shiny light.
If it weren’t for Sang Mian’s good looks, Bai Tang would have thought it was Zhu Ganglie.
After washing up, Sang Mian wiped his face while telling Xiaoqing and Tangtang his thoughts.
"The most difficult thing is to add a cat every day. There is no time limit in the game, so the number of cats increases as time goes on." Sang Mian said, "And the number of players decreases every day. Sooner or later, the cats will catch all the players."
Bai Tang thought for a while: "Is there any way to eliminate the cats in the first two days?"
"Of course there is, but we can't figure it out." Sang Mian ruthlessly told the truth: "We don't even know the strength of the cats, let alone eliminate them."
Xia Qing had a bitter face: "This weird game is rubbish. It's already the 300th anniversary. Can't it be simpler? Does it want us to be wiped out?"
"Bingo!" Bai Tang said, "Congratulations, you guessed it right. This weird game wants us all to die in it."
Is there really no solution? Xia Qing sighed: "The cat will catch us soon, let's find a way to avoid it."
She muttered to herself again, "If only the cat wouldn't scratch us."
Bai Tang continued to pour cold water: "Unless it's a blind cat."
Sang Mian: "It doesn't necessarily have to be a blind cat."
Bai Tang and Xia Qing exclaimed at the same time: "Do you have a solution?"
Sang Mian stroked his chin and said, "Cats definitely don't catch their own kind."
Bai Tang and Xia Qing's hopeful eyes dimmed again. The player's identity was confirmed to be a rat before entering the game, so how could he change his identity?
Bai Tang touched Sang Mian's forehead with concern: "Did the doctor piss you off? You've started talking nonsense."
Sang Mian opened Bai Tang's hand in annoyance: "Who is talking nonsense! Although we are mice, there is no rule in the game that we can't pretend to be cats."
"That makes sense!" Xia Qing slapped his thigh and said, "Maybe it will work!"
Before the three of them finished discussing, a panel suddenly popped up.
[The cat and mouse game has officially begun! To ensure the players' gaming experience, the game time on the first night is one hour, and one hour will be added every other day, starting at 8 o'clock.]
[Game reminder: Please lock the doors and windows, turn off the lights, and try not to make any noise. Cats have very good hearing and vision! Please do not leave the dormitory building during the chase. You will be killed if you leave the dormitory building. Please do not disturb other students. Students who are woken up will be angry.]
Sang Mian looked at the time and it was already eight o'clock.
The atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became tense. Bai Tang immediately turned off the lights. She whispered, "According to the rules of the game, the cat will give priority to our room."
Xia Qing looked around. In the dormitory, besides the bed, there were only two large cabinets. "How about we hide in the cabinets?"
Sang Mian looked at the two of them in confusion: "The first day is only one hour, what are you afraid of? Didn't we agree to disguise ourselves as cats?"
Xia Qing took Sang Mian's hand and was about to get into the closet. She was smart for once: "It's not as simple as you say. If you say you are a cat, will people believe you? The game must have prepared something to identify your identity."
"Yes." Sang Mian: "So let's ask while there is only one cat today."
Bai Tang and Xia Qing both thought Sang Mian was crazy. Asking the cat directly? Giving it to the cat to eat?
Bai Tang clenched his fists: "Damn doctor, it's all his fault that Mian Mian's brain has gone crazy! I will definitely teach him a lesson tomorrow!"
Xia Qing shared the same hatred and said, "That's right! But Sister Tangtang, please help me put Sister Sang in the closet."
Sang Mian was amused by the two people: "Have you forgotten my identity and skills? Isn't one hour just enough?"
The two of them pulled Sang Mian's hand together and paused. Xia Qing said, "I remember now! The identity skill in the evil spirit-level gift pack is - guest!"
Bai Tang: "I remember that his function is that the weirdness within a one-meter radius will provide you with the service you want, and the validity period is one hour."
"Yes!" Sang Mian winked at the two of them: "It hasn't been used yet, don't you want to give it a try?"
The two people who were originally very scared suddenly felt that there was nothing to be afraid of. Even if a monster stood in front of them and opened its mouth to eat them, they would not be afraid. Xia Qing even felt excited inside.
Bai Tang turned on the light even more arrogantly and stamped her feet fiercely, "Aren't cats' hearing and eyesight very good? They should be able to find our dormitory in five minutes, right?" She smiled and said, "If they can't find it, I'll doubt their professionalism."
Lin Qiu from the Twilight Cross Society lived in the dormitory next to Sang Mian. When Lin Qiu heard the noise from next door, his eyelids twitched.
Was Sang Mian crazy? Was he deliberately making noises to attract the evil? She was already very surprised that Sang Mian and the other two did not quit the game. She even asked someone to move to the dormitory next to Sang Mian, thinking that if Sang Mian got into trouble, she would go to help him. Maybe Sang Mian would remember her kindness and join the Twilight Cross.
The girl who was in the dungeon with Lin Qiu also frowned and typed on her phone: Are the three of them trying to commit suicide?
Lin Qiu shook her head with an embarrassed look on her face. She had no idea what Sang Mian was up to. What worried her now was whether she would be able to help when the cat came.
As the three of them jumped around, more people came to the live broadcast room. The audience seemed to like the way the three of them were courting death. In order to make Sang Mian and the other two make a bigger noise, they started to give gifts crazily in the live broadcast room.
Sang Mian lived up to everyone's expectations. She said to the camera in the live broadcast room affectionately: "Thank you for the 100,000 ghost money reward! Next, let me bring you a nice song - Dang!"
"Ahhh! Ahhhh! When the mountains have no edges, when the rivers stop flowing, when time stops, when there is no distinction between day and night, when everything in the world becomes nothing, I still can't break up with you!"
Sang Mian's voice is very penetrating. Even without accompaniment, her singing can be clearly heard on the two floors above and below. Moreover, her singing cannot be said to be the sound of nature, but it can be regarded as magic sound that pierces the ears.
The players in the entire building were lost in thought. The doctor sat on the bed and patted his ears. Was he hallucinating? Why was Sang Mian singing so loud? Weren't they playing cat and mouse? Didn't the rules of the game say that you couldn't speak loudly? Why did Sang Mian ignore everything?
After questioning He Suoqi and Liu Dong, the doctor confirmed that he was not hallucinating and that Sang Mian was indeed screaming in the dormitory.
He Suoqi thought for a long time and finally said, "All the teams ranked after 100 have withdrawn, leaving only their group. Do they want to fight the cat directly without breaking it down?"
After thinking about it, the doctor felt that it was very possible. After all, he could not think of any other explanation except this.
"Arrogant, relying on their own strength to act so arrogantly." Liu Dong's eyes flashed with disdain behind his glasses, "I want to see how long they can be so arrogant."
He Suoqi said calmly, "It's probably OK to make it through today, unless the weirdness that comes is a fierce spirit with a weirdness value of over 80 points. But the main feature of the game is gradual progress, so this kind of weirdness won't appear on the first day."
Li Xiaofeng huddled in the corner of the bed, not daring to interrupt. He just glanced at the dormitory door from time to time, fearing that something would suddenly break in.
"You look like a wimp." Liu Dong sneered, but his expression was gentle: "Don't worry, Xiaofeng. You have done a great job this afternoon. We will protect you."
The doctor glanced at Li Xiaofeng and said, "Well, you did a good job on Sang Mian's face. The president will reward you when you go back."
"Thank you, Vice President. Thank you, Vice President." Li Xiaofeng kept nodding and bowing. For an ordinary person like him, if he wants to survive, he must cling to the big boss. It doesn't matter if he hurts others. What matters most is that he survives.
The cat who just stepped into the dormitory building said strangely: "..." Very good, no player dared to provoke him for a long time.
He whispered strangely, "Woman, you have successfully attracted my attention."
He climbed the stairs step by step following the singing sound, and stopped at the third floor. The lights in all the rooms on the third floor were off, except for room 310, where a glaring light was shining through the crack of the door.
Through the mask, he laughed strangely and coldly: "Found it." He was really looking forward to the ferocious faces of the players who were not afraid of death when they were about to die. They must be very beautiful, and their flesh and blood would be packed up and taken home to enjoy slowly.

Bai Tang covered his ears and said, "Young man, can you please spare my life? Please spare my life."
Sang Mian turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside the window and sang in ecstasy.
Xia Qing looked hopeless, "I used to like this theme song of My Fair Princess the most, but after listening to Sister Sang singing it, I don't like it anymore."
“Nonsense! Is my singing really that bad?” Sang Mian glared at both of them, then said proudly, “It’s obviously very nice, okay!”
Bai Tang: "Yes, yes, yes. Gui would cry after hearing this."
Xia Qing added with tears in her eyes: "People who hear this will ascend to heaven."
"Okay, okay, I won't sing anymore. Let me see what the audience wants to see." Sang Mian smiled as he counted the tips and looked at the comments. "Tangtang Xiaoqing! They want to see a love song duet! Who of you will come with me!"
Bai Tang resisted extremely: "I will not give in."
Xiao Qing turned her head away stubbornly: "I don't want to sing with you either!"
Sang Mian raised an eyebrow: "My live broadcast room's big sister said that whoever sings will get 2 billion ghost money! Are you sure you don't want to sing?"
Xia Qing immediately smiled: "It's such a blessing to sing with Sister Sang!"
Bai Tang pushed Xia Qing aside and said, "Xiao Qing, you are still young. There are many opportunities like this. Give them to me. I know you don't like Mianmian singing. I will help you bear it!"
Xia Qing: "No, sister, I'm young and I need to exercise more!"
The two were arguing fiercely when a cold voice that chilled their bodies suddenly rang out from outside the door: "Duel of love songs... I'm the best at it..."
