Chapter 181: Spirit Exploration Live Room
There is always a gap between ideal and reality.
After getting the monster videotape that he expected to be rewarded with, Xu Zhiyan thought for a moment that it didn’t matter if this black videotape, whose specific function he didn’t know, was broken.
Compared with a nobody with extraordinary power, what does a mere prop mean?
But when he actually saw the cracks on the props, he found that he was completely unable to accept the loss calmly. Just the thought of scrapping a prop made him feel as if the air around him had become thinner.
In the game live broadcast room, the audience who were originally discussing the time point ten years ago began to sigh.
[Little Millionaire, Little Millionaire, you really can't spit out the props you got? 】
【Hahahaha, I am dying of laughter. 】
[This time, not only the props are cracked, I think Xiao Baiwan is also going to crack! ]
[Hahahahahahahaha, I'm sorry it's not nice, but I really couldn't help but burst out laughing when Xiao Baiwan's face changed in a second because he felt sorry for his assets. ]
[This little transparent guy is so awesome. To be honest, with such an awesome monster, why would anyone need a videotape? ]
[Don’t say that in the live broadcast room. Go talk to Xiao Baiwan. Do you think he will listen to you?]
[Xiao Baiwan: I understand the reason, but, no! ]
Different from the laughter and joy in the live broadcast room.
Xu Zhiyan's heart is bleeding!
"Little Tomorrow, do you want to come out first - No! Don't move!" He suddenly changed his tone halfway through the sentence and raised it eight degrees.
Because when Xu Zhiyan suggested letting Xiao Tou Ming come out of the videotape, he found that the cracks on the props were even more serious!
The trembling videotape stopped.
Red and black liquid flowed out from the increasingly larger gap and flowed over Xu Zhiyan's hand.
"stop!"
Seeing that the crack showed signs of expanding, his breath was held.
"You go back first, go back first..."
Looking at the liquid on his hand and the widened gap, Xu Zhiyan felt that his heart was colder than the note behind him.
Xiao Tomoyu is very obedient.
Although it didn't understand why the person in front of it let it go in and out, and didn't praise it for catching the mischievous creature, it still retreated obediently.
Looking at the death tape with a slightly smaller crack, Xu Zhiyan finally felt a little relieved from the sadness of the collapse of his assets.
Yu Xiu was stunned watching from the side.
Since he met Xu Zhiyan, although the young man would occasionally be serious when talking to him, most of the time he had a gentle smile on his face and had never been angry.
But now, he could accurately sense the other party's suppressed anger.
Xu Zhiyan didn't bother to pay attention to Yu Xiu. He held the videotape and asked in a low voice: "Can you come out without destroying the props?"
The videotape turned for a moment, and after a while, it slowly answered.
"cannot."
Xiao Tomoyu is very honest.
When it realized that if it wanted to leave the black hole, it would inevitably tear it apart, it answered honestly, without realizing what it had done to make Xu Zhiyan so angry.
“…”
Xu Zhiyan was upset as he was thinking about what he should do to get Xiao Tomoyu to come out.
Suddenly, the red marker on the ground quietly rolled back, as if trying to slip away...
“Bang!”
The next second, Xu Zhiyan stepped on the marker pen with a quick, accurate and fierce kick.
Still struggling over whether to give up the props to release the little transparent or to keep him under control for the time being, he became unusually irritable and turned back to stare fiercely at the back seat of the school bus.
Empty and full of mold.
Although there was still the chill of the note behind him, Xu Zhiyan did not feel any discomfort, perhaps because the pen that was causing trouble was caught.
Retracting his gaze, Xu Zhiyan took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
"Little transparent, although I also want to let you out, but if you come out, you can't talk, and it may destroy the videotape, so until I find a way, you have to wait in there first."
No, after thinking it over, Xu Zhiyan simply couldn't accept that the props he had obtained were broken.
After getting a positive answer from Xiao Tou Ming, Xu Zhiyan carefully put the videotape back into his backpack and reached out to peel off the note stuck on his back.
【Guess I am...】
The words at the back are blurred and unclear.
The prank must have been discovered, so the note became invalid, but the note behind Yu Xiu was intact.
[Guess who I am~ There will be a penalty if you guess wrong! ]
Seeing Yu Xiu’s dazed look, as if he had not yet recovered from what had just happened, Xu Zhiyan snatched the note and frowned.
"It seems that the first task is for us to guess who the prankster is."
Bend down and pick up the marker.
Xu Zhiyan first uncapped the pen and checked it.
The tip of the pen is very wet, as if the marker has been soaked in water somewhere, and water can seep out of the gaps.
I drew a few lines on my palm with a pen, but there was no color.
Seeing this, Yu Xiu hurriedly shook his head: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me... I, I have a way to deal with it!"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyan was a little surprised, but then he thought, Yu Xiu has a passive skill, if there really is a "punishment", then he should not suffer too much damage.
"Let's first find out if there are any rules here."
Putting away the markers and the note, the two stood in the front of the school bus, looking for clues.
This is a medium-sized school bus.
Instead of heading to the back seat, the two found a note about school bus rules posted on the first row fender at the front of the car.
But unlike the rules I saw in the cinema before, the rules here don’t seem to be for players, but more like for students ten years ago.
【Welcome to the warm school bus! 】
[This bus has 53 seats in total, including the driver, the maximum number of people is no more than 54~]
[In order to make everyone seize the time to study, there are earplugs in the pockets behind the seats. If you feel noisy, you can use them by yourself. Remember to return them after use. ]
[It is more dangerous when driving, so you are not allowed to use any pen when in the car to avoid scratching your eyes when braking. ]
[Don’t stick your head out of the window. It’s dangerous (crossed out)]
[Because a classmate stuck his head out of the window during the spring outing and injured his right eye, all windows except the front row were sealed...]
Very common and normal riding rules.
It's not weird at all. In fact, all aspects have been taken into consideration and it's all for the students.
Just when Xu Zhiyan was about to put down the school bus rules, Yu Xiu suddenly pointed to the back of the paper and said, "Brother Xu, there are words on the back."
Turning over the note and looking at the blood-red words on it, Xu Zhiyan instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm saying, if the only thing is that you can't write or open the windows, this ghost hunting location is too simple." He felt that even if there was such a simple location, it would not be his turn.
The audience watching the live broadcast were once again amused by Xu Zhiyan's expression.
[When Xiao Baiwan saw this common rule just now, his brows were about to frown to the sky hahahaha]
[With a luck like his, he definitely won't get a simple map. ]
[It shouldn't be difficult, just like the videotape of ghost marriage, there probably weren't too many deaths in it, so it's not difficult.]
[This school bus seems to be abandoned? That shouldn't mean many people died. I don't think it's difficult.]
Although it is mainly for entertainment, the audience at least has some brains and can judge the strength of the ghost-hunting location based on the number of deaths.
Like other viewers, Xu Zhiyan also thought so.
"According to the known information, the school bus was scrapped and sent to the parking lot, and only one brand new school bus was seen driving out at night..."
From the comments in the live broadcast room of the ghost-hunting show, we learned that no one had died in the parking lot.
However, looking at the rules on the back that were clearly left for the players, Xu Zhiyan's expression became a little solemn.
【Welcome to the warm school bus! 】
[This car is specially provided for the school. Although it is a bit old, it is free for students of the school. ]
[This car does not have a coin-operated card machine. ]
[But if you see a coin-operated card machine, you can put cash in it, and 100 coins can be exchanged for a safety hammer. ]
[After the vehicle starts, please do not scream, especially do not use a pen or write on the test paper. ]
[You can discuss questions in the car, but be sure not to give wrong answers. ]
The driver will not give you food.
[The destination of this bus is Linshi No. 1 Middle School. It will not stop along the way and is planned to take 2 hours. ]
【This car has no driver. 】
[No matter what happens during the journey, you cannot get off the bus. ]
[If you encounter an emergency, please sit in the single seat in the first row, which is safe. ]
There is a lot of content, and it gradually becomes weird.
However, correspondingly, the more content there is, the more information players can get.
"It seems that this car will start at night--"
Before Xu Zhiyan finished speaking, there was a roar of a motor and the school bus began to shake, as if someone had started the bus.
Yu Xiu widened his eyes, looking shocked.
"Brother Xu, it starts when you say so! You are so awesome!"
His previous teammates were just idiots who used him to force their way through the level. Even if there were other players making inferences, it was rare for their guesses to come true immediately.
Xu Zhiyan didn't know how to respond to this sincere flattery, and cast a somewhat pitying look at Yu Xiu.
He dared to bet that if Jiang Huaique was there, he would definitely call him a jinx!
I didn't dwell on why the car started. As an Infinite Game player, such paranormal events are commonplace.
It was only as the vehicle vibrated after starting that Xu Zhiyan discovered something slightly strange.
The car...is getting new?
The musty smell did not dissipate, and the lights in the car were not on, but through the shaking light of the mobile phone, one could see that the mottled rust inside the car was disappearing.
In just a few minutes, this school bus that had been scrapped for years was transformed into a brand new one.
The lights were still not on. The brand new school bus was extremely dark, and the parking lot had been abandoned for many years and had no lights either. There were only dim street lights on the road in the distance, which could not illuminate anything.
The two had no choice but to continue using their cell phone lights for illumination.
The carriage was not small. Xu Zhiyan stood at the front of the car. There were two seats on the left and three seats on the right. There were nine rows of this specification, plus the single seat at the front on the left and the seven seats in the last row. Excluding the driver, there were 53 seats in total.
The school bus started.
Just as the school bus drove out of the parking lot, the in-car broadcast came on.
"Students must help each other. If someone asks you a question, you must answer it~"
"You can't answer wrong, you can't answer wrong, you can't... answer...wrong..."
The broadcast was short, but extremely strange.
The originally sweet female voice kept repeating "You can't give a wrong answer" at the end of the broadcast, and the voice gradually became distorted and hoarse, full of electricity.
Xu Zhiyan glanced at Yu Xiu and knew that the note on the child’s back was most likely the breakthrough point.
Sure enough, after the broadcast ended, a playful girl's voice was heard in the empty school bus.
"Whoever gets my note must answer my question!"
There was clearly no one around, but Xu Zhiyan could sense that the sound came from the car.
But there is more to it than that.
After the female voice finished speaking, several other voices appeared.
"If you don't answer, you will be punished by being drowned in the lake."
“But it doesn’t matter if you answer incorrectly!”
"Someone's note is incomplete, incomplete, incomplete!"
“What a pity…”
This was followed by a string of silvery bell-like laughter, as if they were really joking with the students on the bus.
Thinking of the contents of the note, Xu Zhiyan signaled Yu Xiu not to speak.
There was nothing in the rules about not rummaging around, but if I wanted to find the girl who wrote the note in red marker, I had to find the roster on the bus first.
The roster will most likely not be at the back.
Xu Zhiyan simply started looking near the front seat.
But when he squatted down and used the light on his mobile phone to illuminate the seat under his feet, a horrifying scene happened.
A dense crowd of feet appeared under the seat.
And judging from the skin color of the ankles, this pale color definitely does not mean normal death. It's as if it had been soaked in liquid for a long time and has become a little swollen.
"Brother Xu? What's wrong?"
Seeing Xu Zhiyan squatting on the ground and not standing up for a long time, Yu Xiu became a little worried and wanted to squat down and take a look.
"Nothing." Xu Zhiyan stood up, as if nothing had happened.
His heart wasn't as calm as his expression.
Somewhat unscientific.
Although he had anticipated that there would most likely be dead students on the scrapped school bus, he was mentally prepared.
But this is too much!
At a glance, there were almost hundreds of dead legs. The sheer number was enough to make people lose their composure!
But considering that he had a teammate with him, and these suspected dead students had not shown stronger aggressiveness, Xu Zhiyan did not tell Yu Xiu, for fear that the other party would be scared.
The school bus had already driven out of the garage and was driving on the main road in the early hours of the morning.
When Xu Zhiyan turned around to continue checking, a middle-aged man's voice sounded from behind.
"Why are you two still standing? Find a place to sit down quickly, it's really dangerous."
The two men turned their heads sharply.
It's the driver.
The driver's seat, which was previously empty, now had a man sitting in it.
He... no, it seemed to have been dead for a long time. Its body was swollen like the ankle Xu Zhiyan had just seen, and its entire body was pale from being soaked.
Xu Zhiyan did not answer. He first checked the mental state of his teammates.
The thin boy, wearing a long-sleeved jacket, stared at the driver with a slightly shocked expression, but did not look frightened.
Not screaming, not too scared, emotionally stable...
Xu Zhiyan unexpectedly discovered that although Yu Xiu had been depressed and wanted to die before, after he was pulled into the normal game process, he accepted it very quickly, had a very good ability to withstand pressure, and was not afraid of seeing corpses.
Unexpectedly, Yu Xiu's next sentence made Xu Zhiyan unable to hold back.
"What's wrong, Brother Xu? Is there any problem with the driver?" The boy realized that someone was looking at him, turned around and asked.
"..." Xu Zhi was speechless.
There is a problem! Of course there is a problem!
They are not living people anymore, how can there be no problem?
Seeing Xu Zhiyan's strange expression, Yu Xiu squinted at the driver, then suddenly turned back and whispered, "Dead...dead person?"
This time Xu Zhiyan was silent for a moment, then reached out and touched the boy's head.
"Myopia? Wait until the book comes out to buy you a pair of glasses."
In the live broadcast room, the audience who had just praised Yu Xiu like Xu Zhiyan was a little overwhelmed.
[…Shit, I didn’t see it clearly? ]
[Fuck, I thought this poor kid was so calm at first.]
[Yeah, I was just thinking that Xiao Baiwan is really the chosen one. He can be so emotionally stable no matter which teammate he chooses! ]
[I guessed that the poor little guy was emotionally stable, but I didn’t guess that he was nearsighted…]
Perhaps because the driver's appearance was too scary, Xu Zhiyan and Yu Xiu did not respond.
There is no requirement to sit down in the currently known rules.
And contradictory rules have emerged.
【This car has no driver. 】
Since there is no driver, then who is this guy in front of me?
Because the two men stood there without moving, the driver seemed puzzled and asked again.
"Why don't you sit down? Are you hungry?"
As he spoke, the driver seemed to have completely forgotten that he was dead. He reached out from the side of the seat, pulled out a bag and handed it over, mumbling something.
"It's not easy for you either. You study hard but still have to run around."
Xu Zhiyan didn't take the bag, but just stretched his neck to take a look.
There are quite a few things in this bag, which appear to be the driver's personal belongings. In addition to several large bags of puffed food on top, there is also half a box of cigarettes squeezed on the side. From the gap between the snacks, one can see that there is beer hidden at the bottom of the bag.
This corresponds to the previous rules.
The driver will not give you food.
The driver won't give food and there's no driver in the car, which means the person driving the car is not the driver, and may not even be the person in the car.
The driver held the bag for a while, but when there was no response, he put the bag back with a mutter.
"You top students are so proud. Once you get into society and get beaten up, you'll realize how powerful you are!"
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the two students who had not taken their seats.
Outside the car window, the scenery kept receding.
The school bus drove quietly for a while.
With this driver who doesn't look like a good guy, the exploration range is reduced again.
If every seat in the back is occupied, then sitting in the back is obviously not a good choice.
Xu Zhiyan and Yu Xiu were still searching near the front seat, which represented safety.
But before the two could find any useful information in the school bus, the female voice in the middle row spoke again.
This time, the voice changed.
"Time's up! Whoever got the note, answer it quickly. You can't refuse!"
It was clearly still the same relaxed tone as before, but the voice was extremely hoarse and dull, and the resentment in it almost overflowed.
Xu Zhiyan frowned, rolled up his sleeves, and found a solution.
I don’t know when it started, but there were a lot of backpacks placed on the seats in the car.
He already has the marker, so he just needs to follow the direction of the sound and find the prankster ghost's backpack, and he will most likely be able to find its name.
Although it is a bit dangerous and it is not a good idea to search someone's backpack in front of a ghost, this is the fastest solution without consuming props.
Unexpectedly, before Xu Zhiyan walked out of the front of the car, Yu Xiu behind him grabbed one of his corners.
"Brother Xu, no, you don't have to worry about me."
Yu Xiu and Xu Zhiyan have not thought about how to pass the level for years, and their thinking is completely different.
Before the two could interact again, a twisted black shadow suddenly emerged from the middle row of seats and stabbed towards Yu Xiu.
“Shua——”
The smell of blood appeared.
"Bang!"
Something made a crashing sound.
Xu Zhiyan frowned and looked at the transparent barrier in front of him.
Outside the barrier, the black shadow that had just emerged was shaken away and instantly disappeared into the air, and the school bus returned to silence.
He turned his head and looked at Yu Xiu.
The young man, still wearing a wig, held a fruit knife in his right hand, and there was a bloodstain on his left palm.
"Brother Xu, it's okay!"
Seeing Xu Zhiyan looking at him, Yu Xiu began to feel for the first time that his skills weren't that bad.
"I, I'm actually quite useful!"
He was a little nervous when being stared at, and his words stuttered. He was not that nervous when he scratched his palm just now...
A crack appeared on the barrier. Yu Xiu shook his left hand. After the blood flowed for a while, the wound disappeared. The skin on his entire palm became smooth and there was no trace of the wound.
He looked at his wound that had healed to its original state and suddenly felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, this monster just left a note for him!
Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to show his abilities to Xu Zhiyan.
If the other party finds that he is actually quite useful, will he be able to stay with the other party smoothly?
Thinking of this, Yu Xiu felt a little happy.
Just as Yu Xiu was waiting for praise, Xu Zhiyan said nothing and watched in silence as cracks appeared on the barrier in front of him, then it quickly shattered into a pool of shiny fragments and disappeared.
"Is this a skill you're proud of?"
His voice was steady and emotionless.
"Um?"
Yu Xiu was stunned, feeling that there was something wrong with this sentence.
Seeing the boy's confused face, Xu Zhiyan's harsh words that he was about to say finally stopped in his mouth and turned into a long sigh.
Before the school bus entered a more dangerous situation, he felt that he should maintain the health and long-term development potential of the new assets.
"Do you think this skill is very powerful?"
It is worth 80w, which is really strong.
"The barrier just now lasted for one minute from its appearance to its disappearance." Xu Zhiyan had been calculating the time.
Yu Xiu thought that the other party felt that the barrier was short-lived, so he quickly patched himself up.
"Xu, Brother Xu! No, it's more than a minute! The deeper the wound, the longer and stronger the barrier will last. It can last for up to ten minutes at most, and my blood can heal other people's wounds..." He was too afraid that Xu Zhiyan would not want him.
This was the first time he explained his skills so enthusiastically. In order to demonstrate, he even raised the knife and planned to stab himself again.
“Pah—”
The boy's raised wrist was grabbed by someone.
Xu Zhiyan took the fruit knife from Yu Xiu's hand and casually stuffed it into the side of his backpack.
"Ten minutes, then what?"
Unlike the skill of absolute safety time, Yu Xiu's barrier has a strength limit... It should be said that all non-one-time protection skills in the game have a strength limit.
The stronger the attack, the less time the barrier will protect you.
If the attack is strong enough, it is possible that the barrier will be shattered instantly.
"You stab yourself and bleed to maintain the barrier. When the barrier disappears, stab yourself again and bleed again..."
As he spoke, Xu Zhiyan even felt like laughing.
"How much blood can you shed? Or do you think the strength of future dungeons will be lower than it is now?"
Considering that they were still in a dangerous ghost-exploring scene, he didn't say anything more and reached out to pinch the boy's skinny cheek.
"Can you treat yourself as a human being? And treat me as a human being too?"
Yu Xiu's skills seem powerful, but their strength is limited.
In low-level copies, the monsters are not that strong, which is actually somewhat okay. However, the higher the copy, the stronger the monsters. Especially in the later stages, they have to face not only monsters, but also other players.
If this kid really wants to be his teammate, he will be easily killed in the dungeon just by relying on the barrier.
Players' attacks consume mental energy, and some do not even consume it. Once they face off, there is no chance of winning.
With a sigh, Xu Zhiyan let go of his hand.
He didn't know what the boy in front of him had experienced that caused him to awaken this strange self-mutilation skill, but if he wanted to go further, Yu Xiu needed to grow up.
"Since you can awaken a passive skill, it means you have talent."
So is it possible to turn passive into active?
"If you really want to be useful, then you might as well awaken some new skills, such as protecting me without hurting yourself."
As he spoke, Xu Zhiyan's tone softened a lot.
But Yu Xiu just nodded in a daze.
"Okay, I'll try my best!"
He knew Xu Zhiyan didn’t like his previous skills. In fact, he didn’t like them either. It hurt every time he used a skill…
"good."
Reaching out and rubbing the boy's hard wig, Xu Zhiyan stopped worrying about it.
The barrier created by self-harm is like a drug/addiction.
Yu Xiu is his property after all, so he has to pursue sustainable development, otherwise this little body will faint from anemia in the dungeon sooner or later.
In the live broadcast room, the audience shouted that Xu Zhiyan was dreaming.
[What the hell, does Xiao Baiwan think that awakening skills are like cabbages in the field, and he can awaken whatever he wants. ]
[Emm, the main thing is that this poor little thing actually dared to nod. ]
[Why do I feel like when Xiao Baiwan said this... he was full of boyfriend power?]
[Damn! Has Xiao Baiwan forgotten how difficult it was for him to awaken his skills? ]
After the last barrage, the live broadcast room was silent for a few seconds, and everyone thought of the scene when Xu Zhiyan awakened his skills.
【……】
【Grass, a kind of plant.】
[Damn it, it would be fine if you didn't mention it, but once you do, I feel devastated. Others awaken their skills at the cost of life and death, but Xiao Baiwan awakens his skills purely because he can't accept his own loss.]
[Poof——Xu-style awakening method.]
Just as the audience was still making jokes, something unexpected appeared in the school bus.
Although the seats were still empty, everyone knew that they were filled with the souls of wronged students.
The moment the school bus completely left the city, the interior of the bus suddenly became lively.
"Where is my vocabulary book? Who of you took my vocabulary book?"
"Teacher Wang just said that we can't do homework on the bus, why are you still doing it? Be careful or this pen will pop your eyeballs out!"
"Hehe, anyway, Teacher Wang is not here."
“Who wants to do the exercises with me?”
"Mathematics? No, no, I won't take this test..."
In the originally quiet car, the students' chattering could not be stopped.
Xu Zhiyan leaned on the railing at the door and turned his head to find the coin box.
After just one glance, he looked away.
Where can he find a hundred coins! Just to exchange for a safety hammer?
Suddenly, the car became quiet.
"Students, do you want to solve the problem together?"
A hearty voice came from the back seat of the school bus.
The voice was not aggressive, as if there were real students talking to them.
Xu Zhiyan wanted to refuse.
“Buzz——”
The cell phone with the flashlight on suddenly vibrated.
[Sister: Don’t answer! Don’t do that! Once you answer, you must answer the question. If you can’t answer, you will be left in the car forever! ]
My sister’s text message popped up.
With the experience from previous times, Xu Zhiyan made a careful judgment and decided to trust his sister.
But before he turned around to explain the situation to Yu Xiu, he heard the young man politely reject the students.
"No, we don't..."
Before he could finish his words, a sharp scream suddenly came from the carriage.
The invisible creatures seemed to have succeeded, and they laughed loudly at the two people in front of the car with shrill voices.
"Answered!"
"Then you can't refuse the next question!"
“Hehe, hehe…”
"We still have a long time to reach our destination, what kind of questions should we ask?"
Yu Xiu was a little confused. He was not sure whether his refusal would cause trouble for Xu Zhiyan.
But by now he had realized that he shouldn't answer.
"Brother Xu, Brother Xu, please get off the car in a moment... No, you can't get off the car."
The young man was a little flustered. He felt that he had brought great trouble to Xu Zhiyan and was so nervous that he could hardly speak.
Before Xu Zhiyan could come up with a solution, the ghost students in the car had already started asking questions.
"Tell me a simple one, a simple one!"
"Sure, these two don't look like good students."
"The test paper! Let him do our test paper!"
During the conversation, a math test paper floated from the roof of the car in front of the two people.
Xu Zhiyan took a glance.
There were various ABCD combinations of numbers, functions, hyperbolas and geometric figures on the test paper. It was dim and I couldn’t see clearly, but I could definitely tell that they were high school math problems.
Probably because only one person answered the question, the students were given only one test paper.
Xu Zhiyan's expression was relatively relaxed.
If it's just a paper, just ask the small crispy bones to come out.
Unexpectedly, when he summoned Little Bone, he saw a human-shaped skeleton sitting on the ground gluing a skull together. He had already glued one eye and a mouth, and only the skull was left.
The man and the white bone looked at each other, and Little Bone spoke a little embarrassedly.
“Kacha…Kacha…”
Although he didn't understand, Xu Zhiyan suddenly remembered that although undead creatures are immortal, when they were hit and broken in the safe house in the past, their bones recovered quickly.
But this is a world of rules.
Different rules may affect the recovery of small cartilage.
[Master (crossed out) Brother Xu, I'll get it fixed right away! You can restore it when you get back.]
Xu Zhiyan shook his head, looked at the not-so-smooth skull made of small bones, and decided to do the test himself.
"You glue it first, I'll do it myself."
Although he had graduated many years ago, his grades were pretty good when he was in school, so the test paper wasn't too difficult, so he shouldn't have any problems... No! No way!
One of the rules mentioned above is that you cannot use pens or write papers on the bus...
How to answer this?
Just when Xu Zhiyan was struggling over how to crack the problem this time, Yu Xiu's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Choose B for the first question, A for the second question, and ..."
In the dark carriage, the young man held up a test paper and read out the answers on the blank paper with the occasional light coming in from the window.
At the beginning, the student ghost in the car was very disdainful when he found that the target in front of him did not fall for it and wrote the test paper with a pen.
A few minutes later, everyone heard Yu Xiu repeatedly reading out the correct answer, and the car fell silent again.
"If A, B, and C are three points that are not collinear, and..."
"Using the parallelogram law, we know that..."
"Since vectors are involved..."
Although Yu Xiu got stuck at the end of the problem, he continued to solve the problems one by one in a firm voice without any mistakes.
This paper is not a complete math paper and there are not many questions.
In just over ten minutes, Yu Xiu finished answering all the questions on the single test paper.
After answering all the questions, the boy turned around and looked at Xu Zhiyan. Excessive thinking caused sweat to appear on his forehead, but his eyes were bright.
"Xu, Brother Xu!"
Yu Xiu felt a little uneasy because the problem was caused by his rash answer.
"I, I'm a senior this year."
As he said this he lowered his head. The 19 year old senior high school student already seemed a bit out of place in the class.
On the contrary, Xu Zhiyan was very shocked and patted the boy on the shoulder: "The college entrance examination is only half a year away. Study hard when you get out."
Although he was not sure whether the present world would still be stable, his deep-rooted educational philosophy made him feel that children who needed to go to school should still finish their education.
What's more, Yu Xiu's talent...
Whether the test paper is difficult or not is one thing, but Xu Zhiyan has been to school before. He feels that when he is in his third year of high school, he will not be able to just glance at the title of the big question at the back and read out the answer without drawing auxiliary lines.
Unlike the easy situation in the front part of the bus, the student ghosts in the middle and back of the bus found these two people very difficult to deal with.
The school bus drove into the suburbs and there was only one light in the distance.
The darkness in the car lengthened again.
After the student ghosts discovered that Yu Xiu was very talented in mathematics, perhaps because they were all high school students and felt a sense of sympathy for each other, they stopped trying to trick Yu Xiu and instead pointed their spearheads at Xu Zhiyan.
Xu Zhiyan heard students trying to talk to him.
But he was calm and composed, like a sculpture, leaning against the railing without moving, his hands constantly taking out old newspapers from his backpack to read.
The school bus was driving steadily on the road, and a faint earthy smell appeared in the car.
A sharp voice pierced the silence and a student shouted, "Stop the car."
"squeak--"
The school bus braked with an unpleasant sound.
The student ghost who had just tried to keep Xu Zhiyan spoke again.
"Get out of the car!"
"I'm doing this for your own good. I'm going to die. I'm going to die next."
"You'll drown... You'll drown..."
This sentence was like a switch, and the students' tones kept changing, sometimes high and sometimes low.
Yu Xiu was a little dumbfounded.
The earthy smell became stronger and stronger, and he could occasionally see feet and calves swollen from being soaked under the seats.
“Tick-tick…”
“Tick…”
After the car stopped, he discovered that water was leaking everywhere in the car.
But it wasn't raining outside.
"Brother Xu, should we go down? The rules don't seem to allow it." He looked worried.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhiyan leaned against the railing, put away the newspaper, and said to Yu Xiu with a smile.
"No, I like this car."
Although it looks rusty, it doesn't need to be refueled and can carry so many people. If it is a prop, it would be great. Even if it is not, it can be driven back to the safe house for the monsters to use, right?
Under Yu Xiu's shocked eyes, Xu Zhiyan held up the newspaper and slowly spoke to the empty carriage.
"I just saw a news report from more than a decade ago. The best middle school in this city selected the best students in the school and sent them to the next city to participate in a competition."
As a result, on the way there, the vehicle was driven into a suburban lake by a drunk driver.
When the rescue team arrived, only the driver was rescued. Apart from the driver, all the students in the car were killed.
The illustrations are very tragic.
There were 52 students in the bus and 52 body bags on the shore.
Although the cause of the accident was not stated, Xu Zhiyan found the reason based on the rules given to the students at the beginning.
"All the windows were boarded up except for the driver's side window."
Thank goodness Xiao Ke Gu didn’t raid my house and take everything.
Xu Zhiyan needs the exact death toll from the newspaper before he can take the next step.
Inside the carriage, all the student ghosts were silent.
After a long time, the sound appeared.
"If you get off the bus now, you will die. If the bus continues driving, it will plunge into the lake at the next intersection and you will still die." The drowned students were full of resentment and hated the living.
Every night they repeat the scene of being drowned by the lake.
Xu Zhiyan waved his hand.
"What if I say I have a way to drive the car smoothly over that stretch of road?"
This car has no driver.
The driver will not give you food.
The driver was rescued alone...
Although this group of students wanted to keep them, they turned against them after finding out that Yu Xiu was also a high school student. This shows that although they were shrouded in death and despair, they still remembered some things about school, and it can even be said that they yearned for school.
As the news in the newspaper was completed, Xu Zhiyan turned around and looked at the driver in the driver's seat.
“There was no driver.”
"It is a creature created by your fear."
Following Xu Zhiyan's words, the driver, who had been sitting obediently just now, turned around and the swollen skin on his face continued to fall.
The silent driver spoke up.
"You found me."
"But what can you do to me?"
After its exterior was revealed, it no longer looked like a human being. Its white skin turned into a black film, wrapping up this regular monster.
"How? Of course I'll beat you!"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Zhiyan punched the rule monster in the face.
When he discovered that the Ghost Slices could deal with rule monsters, he wondered whether the white bones in his right hand could also hit rule monsters?
"It's not in the rules that you can't fight in the car."
The effect was very good. Xu Zhiyan threw a punch and the monster wrapped in black film was hit on the glass and stuck together. The person who was constantly squirming inside seemed to have shock on his face.
"How did you..."
Before it finished speaking, it heard the young man in front of it speak in a surprised voice.
“Is it really possible?”
In this way, can he help players who are entangled by rule monsters to clear the monsters and make money?
