Chapter 14 School for the Blind
Xu Zhiyan was awakened by a burst of laughter.
The sunlight shining through the curtains was a little dazzling. He raised his hand to block it, but he could not feel any warmth on the back of his hand.
After a moment of trance, he held his head and sat up, remembering that he was still on a side quest.
Looking around, he calmly examined his surroundings.
This is a dormitory for twelve people. There are six bunk beds for students in the small space. Maybe it's because the weather is cold, although the roommates are awake, no one comes down.
"Ah, I don't want to go to class."
"Me too! Why do we still have to go to school today when it's Saturday..."
"Be content. At least it's seven o'clock now and you don't have to go to morning self-study."
The young students curled up in their beds, whimpering and unwilling to get up.
The game panel could not be opened. While his roommates were still complaining, Xu Zhiyan turned over, left the warm bed, and went into the bathroom first.
A slightly unfamiliar face appeared in the mirror.
Although the hairstyle and other things have not changed, this is clearly Qu Ji's face!
"Could it be that I have entered Qu Ji's body? And then explore what he would do today?" He frowned, stared at the face in the mirror, and made an assumption.
Before he could come up with anything, the toilet door was pushed open.
A tall and thin student wearing a casual coat came in in a hurry and joked, "She's giving birth in there? Why didn't you come out for so long?"
However, Xu Zhiyan's body froze and he was not amused by these words.
There was still a mirror in front of his eyes.
The mirror reflected the current scene. The tall and thin young man who had just come in had the same face as him!
But this tall and thin roommate looked too ordinary, like Qu Ji with a different body shape, and had nothing to do with the bizarre creature.
Damn! Who is Qu Ji?
Isn't his current identity Qu Ji?
He forced a smile at his tall and thin classmate and hurriedly left the bathroom.
Maybe it was almost time for class, so the students in the dormitory got out of bed one by one even though they were reluctant.
Xu Zhiyan sat back on his bed, acting as if nothing had happened, but he was actually very nervous.
There were eleven people in the dormitory, including himself, some fat and some thin, all with the same face. This was much weirder than the weak little fireman in the previous special scene!
Just when he was at a loss, the dormitory door was pushed open.
A hunched, timid student appeared at the door.
He was wrapped in thick clothes, his hands were full of things, and his head was hung as if he was about to fall into the ground.
"Hey, little maggot, why are you back so late?"
"I want to eat sweet bread today. Have you bought it?"
"Where's my tofu pudding? Little Maggot, did you ask the cafeteria aunt to put more pickled mustard greens in it?"
Several students rushed forward, shouting insulting nicknames, and took their favorite food from the classmates who brought breakfast. Their behavior was blunt and cruel.
When the crowd dispersed, Xu Zhiyan could see clearly that the person who helped bring breakfast was Qu Ji.
Qu Ji at this time was not as tall and strong as he remembered. He looked very sunny and unusually thin. The hideous and winding scar on his face was particularly prominent, like a giant centipede.
Carrying the remaining breakfast, Qu Ji did not go in, but stood at the door and spoke nervously.
"That... uh... I mean... just breakfast. Can I have the money for breakfast..." His voice got lower and lower until it was almost inaudible.
Some students in the dormitory pretended not to hear and went about their own business, but a few went even further. After hearing it, they came over with a smile, patted Qu Ji on the shoulder and said to save it up and give it to him when they had accumulated 10,000 yuan.
It's clear that he doesn't intend to pay.
Xu Zhiyan was speechless. He hadn't seen such a disgusting creature in a long time.
But just as he walked over and was about to rescue Qu Ji, he suddenly felt his body out of control. Not only did he not give his roommate a circle with his outstretched hand, but he snatched the bun from Qu Ji's hand!
[The player's behavior of leaving the role has been detected. We have taken over the player's temporary body. Control will be given before the task is executed. 】
“…”
What the hell? This game is trash!
But everything was already a foregone conclusion. Xu Zhiyan watched his body move and get arm in arm with the student who humiliated Qu Ji.
After breakfast, the students hurried to the classroom.
As soon as he entered the classroom, Xu Zhiyan felt his scalp tingling.
There was something wrong in this classroom. From students to teachers, everyone had the same face.
The first class will start soon.
But now Xu Zhiyan can't do anything he wants to do, so he just treats it as a movie.
Qu Ji's situation was worse than he thought.
The whispers from the desks in front and behind, and the secretive and mocking looks from classmates.
Even the teacher did not like this taciturn boy. Everything was like a knife stabbing into the hunchback boy's back, leaving scars on it.
It seemed that Qu Ji was really out of money. When everyone went to the cafeteria to eat at noon, he just sat in his seat silently, holding a kettle and drinking free tap water.
During the afternoon class, Qu Ji was disliked by his classmates because his stomach growled too loudly.
Finally, Xu Zhiyan waited until school was over.
He didn't think he was a good person, but seeing Qu Ji being bullied like a fool, he wanted to go up and punch these classmates.
The contents of those campus murders were written very clearly. It was probably because Qu Ji couldn't bear it anymore, so he took up a knife and killed people indiscriminately.
But Xu Zhiyan's current identity is actually one of the mentally retarded classmates. He can even imagine how Qu Ji will stab him in the evening!
Moreover, this place vaguely resembled Qu Ji's spiritual world. Who could guarantee that he would still look human when he was killing people? Xu Zhiyan had given up hope on the ethics of this game. It wouldn't be surprising if another monster came to him in the middle of the night to stab him twice.
Just at this moment, the teacher appeared again and asked the health committee member to arrange the duty.
After the teacher left, a male student sitting by the door stood up and asked who was willing to be the monitor today. When no one answered, he turned his eyes and glanced in the direction of Qu Ji. Someone had to do this dirty and tiring job that no one liked to do.
Xu Zhiyan couldn't believe it, and watched helplessly as his body went out of control and ran away with a group of students with the same face, leaving the target person behind in the classroom.
The sky outside the window is filled with sunset glow.
After being forced to return to the dormitory, Xu Zhiyan switched to life-despair mode.
The opportunity to improve his favorability during the whole day, or the opportunity to change Qu Ji's past memories, just slipped away. It seems that this game doesn't want him to have an easy time...
Until the sky was full of stars and the lights were turned off, all the roommates in the dormitory fell asleep, but Qu Ji had not returned yet.
It's not all bad news though.
The good news is that Xu Zhiyan finally regained control of his body!
He quickly opened the game panel and looked at the prompt for the task update.
[Tip: After the lights are turned off, players can play freely without being restricted by roles. ]
Wait for this sentence!
Since he was no longer restricted by the role, Xu Zhiyan no longer hesitated. He quickly got out of bed, put on his clothes hastily, and rushed out to look for Qu Ji.
According to the archive records, the crime will happen tomorrow, and he must stop Qu Ji before anything happens!
However, as soon as he walked out of the dormitory, he saw Qu Ji standing at the stairs.
Under the moonlight, the bullied boy stood up a little straighter.
Seeing that Qu Ji looked very normal, Xu Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know what kind of strange creatures would be in the school so late at night, but it was good that no one was hurt.
"Qu Ji! That's great...you..."
Just when he was planning to ease the relationship with Qu Ji and get closer to him, something unexpected happened!
Qu Ji's movements were abnormally fast. In the blink of an eye, he was face to face with Xu Zhiyan, and a short knife pierced through Xu Zhiyan's body in an instant.
The speed is too fast.
So much so that Xu Zhiyan saw the splattered blood first, and paused for a second before feeling the pain.
This short knife is not the small dagger in the evidence bag at all!
It hurts. My whole body hurts.
Indescribable pain emanated from the wound.
Xu Zhiyan fell in a pool of blood. He was not feeling well at all and was very afraid of pain.
As if to answer his doubts, he saw a new system panel pop up before losing consciousness.
[Tip: Check if the player died in the branch quest! Don't worry, this is not real death, but every death will deduct 10 points of mental power, please cherish your panel data! ]
[Tip: Since the player's rating was high in the previous rounds, the difficulty of the side quests may increase, but for someone like the player, it should be no problem! Come on! ]
They say they won't die, but as their mental strength decreases, the player's mental state will also change, and losing judgment will only lead to death in the dungeon.
Xu Zhiyan wanted to give him the middle finger, but he didn't have the strength, so he could only plunge into the darkness unwillingly.
When I opened my eyes again, everything seemed familiar.
He found himself back in his dorm.
Judging from the view outside the window, it was probably about ten minutes before he went to the corridor to die.
"...Ten points of mental power for ten minutes?"
This game is really shit!
Although the pain in his body had gone away, the pain left in his mind had not yet dissipated, and Xu Zhiyan felt that his temples were still throbbing.
This so-called increase in difficulty completely eliminated his chance to ease his relationship with Qu Ji during the day, and forced him to start directly from the hell escape mode at night.
It's so funny. Just looking at the inhuman speed that Qu Ji showed, even if we kill him, we can't outrun him!
Since we're going to die anyway...
Xu Zhiyan was about to become more aggressive, but he put on his signature gentle smile and, under the moonlight, turned his gaze towards his classmates who were sleeping soundly on their beds.
In the live broadcast room, the audience looked at the scene on the screen and sighed.
[…Ah, this is the first time I’ve seen Xiao Baiwan being so violent.]
【Hahahahaha he found a folding chair! 】
[He is really exhausted. Look, he is already panting after just a few hits.]
[I am laughing so hard, this is bullying! If he hadn't taken a weapon, I don't think these students would have honestly given him the breakfast money! ]
[Here they come! The snails are here! 】
【Hahahahahaha look at the snail's expression, I'm dying of laughter! 】
[Snail: Want revenge, but someone got there first? ]
【Hahahahahahahaha stunned.jpg】
Qu Ji walked into the dormitory door holding a dagger, and froze in place after just one look.
The dormitory was in a mess, as if it had been the scene of a fight.
The man who had bullied him before was lying on the ground wailing. A young man holding a folding chair had his back to him, breathing heavily, and occasionally hitting his squirming roommate with the folding chair.
