Chapter 8 School for the Blind
Heavy curtains blocked out the light from the window.
The bedroom is extremely quiet.
Countless fingers were clinging tightly to the side of the door panel.
Xu Zhiyan didn’t really want to know what his roommate behind the door looked like, so he left immediately while the door was still open.
The moment he stepped out of the dormitory, the ceiling light inexplicably lit up.
“Snap!”
The bulb wattage is not high.
It emits a dim light that illuminates the entire dormitory.
A sudden sound came from behind the door.
"Hey? Are you leaving? Damn it! I wanted to scare you!"
The owner of the voice sounded young, with the youthful vigor and vitality that is unique to teenagers.
Xu Zhiyan paused, took a few steps forward, and then turned around cautiously.
The light in the dormitory was not bright enough, but it was actually a bit dazzling against the darkness. A handsome-looking high school boy in school uniform was standing inside.
"Hello! My name is Qu Ji."
"You're my new roommate, right?"
As he spoke, Qu Ji scratched his hair a little embarrassedly and took out a long string of dried human fingers from behind.
"I found these when I was cleaning the dormitory. I left them here because they looked interesting... You, you're not scared, are you?" His voice got smaller and smaller as he explained, and he swallowed under the pressure of the stiff atmosphere.
"How could that be? If you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have noticed there was someone behind the door."
Xu Zhiyan stood still, raised the corner of his mouth into a perfect smile, and answered gently, but in fact he was cursing this evil roommate to death in his heart.
The cross-sections of those black fingers are clear, and you can see the bones and dehydrated muscles. They are human fingers.
Would a normal person keep this?
And he could be sure that these strung fingers were different from the fingers he had just seen from the side of the door.
Although it was dim at the time, Xu Zhiyan still remembered that the fingers resting on the door were round and plump. He was not blind, so he could still distinguish between a living person's hand and dried meat.
What kind of creature is under Qu Ji’s human skin?
Can't guess.
However, facing his roommate's "goodwill", he will not fall out with him for the time being.
Qu Ji threw the dried fingers into the trash can and asked, "Will you be back soon? I have to go to class this afternoon and won't be back until after evening self-study, so I guess it will be half past nine."
Come back? Come back to see the hell?
Xu Zhiyan wanted to answer that he would not be back not only in the afternoon but also in the evening.
But before he could finish his words, he saw new content pop up on the task panel in front of him.
[Task 3: Participate in dormitory games]
[Progress: 0%]
[Note: Please return to the dormitory as soon as possible after evening self-study. The lights in the dormitory will be turned off at 10 o'clock. The dormitory game will officially begin after the lights are turned off. ]
[Note: The number of dormitory games is limited by the number of people. You need to participate in as many dormitory games as there are people in the dormitory. ]
"...back."
Xu Zhiyan felt his heart pounding, but the new task had already been issued, so he had to answer like this.
Playing dorm games with roommates who are 100% not human?
It’s exciting just thinking about it!
Fortunately, the four hundred yuan was not wasted.
If there are 16 people in a dormitory, you have to participate in 16 dormitory games.
After a brief farewell, Xu Zhiyan pretended to go downstairs and hid in the safety passage between the fifth and sixth floors.
After a while, he saw Qu Ji going downstairs through the crack in the door, and then he returned to the dormitory.
The dried human fingers in the trash can disappeared.
Xu Zhiyan was surprised to find that the school uniform he had casually thrown on the bed on his right was neatly folded and placed at the end of the bed, and the scattered textbooks were also arranged on the bookshelf according to subjects.
There are only two people in the dormitory.
It seems that Qu Ji did it before leaving.
"...Snail boy?" Xu Zhiyan felt mixed emotions.
No one would be able to calmly accept these good intentions after knowing that their roommate is not a human being.
He lay on the bed, staring at the game panel in a daze.
The emergence of Task 3 disrupted the plan.
However, this also indirectly proves that in the game, tasks are not triggered in order, so there is no need to rush to complete Task 2.
The main task is to enter the blind school.
It’s only been the morning and I’ve already unlocked two more tasks.
What is the connection between the School for the Blind and Shiming Middle School?
Unconsciously, the original cold feeling came up again. Xu Zhiyan yawned and simply snuggled into the quilt in his slippers.
He carries more pressure than any other player.
In addition to completing the tasks assigned by the system, he also has to find the most dangerous place in this copy and open the sealed safe house.
Looking at the time, it was a little past one in the afternoon. Xu Zhiyan planned to go to bed for a while to ensure that he would have plenty of energy at night.
Since there was no rush for Mission 2, he might as well explore the campus and steal the dog while he was at it.
The churning thoughts in my head gradually subsided.
Xu Zhiyan felt himself enveloped in darkness and fell into a deep sleep.
…
Time is invisible and intangible, and it slips away quietly.
When his consciousness returned, Xu Zhiyan could clearly sense that he was still asleep.
He is a man who seldom dreams.
Basically every time I dream, it is a nightmare that makes my scalp tingle and is hard to get rid of.
However, today's dream was very strange.
He dreamed that he was standing on the empty rooftop of a teaching building.
A blood-red moon hung high in the sky. Downstairs was the back playground, where countless eyeless humanoid monsters gathered. Without exception, they were all wearing school uniforms and looked somewhat like the adopted sons and daughters seen before.
The monsters were shouting, crying, or kneeling, mumbling incoherently.
What concerned him was that these monsters were not chaotic and disorderly, and were all facing him.
The wind was roaring loudly in his ears, and Xu Zhiyan could not hear what the monsters were saying, but he could sense that the monsters were worshiping here and praying for something.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and kept telling himself that this was just a dream and he had to wake up now.
As usual, Xu Zhiyan chose to pinch himself to wake up quickly.
But this time it didn't work at all!
No matter how hard he pinched, he couldn't escape from this dream.
Finally, he looked at the tall building helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Looks like I have no choice but to jump."
After he finished speaking, he climbed up the railing tremblingly.
The height of the seventh or eighth floor makes people feel dizzy when they glance down at the building below.
The sound of his beating heart drowned out the sound of the wind. This choice, which went against human common sense, caused Xu Zhiyan's heart rate to rise.
Just before he was about to jump, something wrapped around him from behind and pulled him back.
Waist, shoulders, ankles...
Something strange was wrapped around his body.
Until something strangled his neck, and the unspeakable feeling of suffocation made him feel terrified.
On the playground, the monsters seemed to have been paused.
The blood moon fell and the dream fell into darkness.
Before waking up, Xu Zhiyan heard a strange sound coming from behind him.
"You lied to me."
"you……"
The following words disappeared as the dream shattered.
…
Suddenly woke up.
The ceiling of the dormitory was still in front of Xu Zhiyan.
But the dream just now was like a personal experience, and the images and sounds lingered in my mind and could not be shaken off.
He pinched the bridge of his nose and turned his head to look out the window.
The sky, which had originally been somewhat bright, had now turned dark.
Thinking of the time he had agreed with Jin Sheng, Xu Zhiyan didn't have time to think about the meaning of the dream just now. He grabbed his meal card and rushed to the cafeteria.
It was just after eight o'clock in the evening, and a few students appeared sporadically on the campus.
After re-arranging a time with Jin Sheng, Xu Zhiyan went to the cafeteria to pack two meals before returning.
I long for the ability to use money and build good relationships with my ghost roommates!
After half past nine.
Qu Ji returned to the dormitory on time.
As soon as the high school student, who had just finished evening self-study, walked in, he saw his new roommate sitting at the table reading a textbook, with packed food on the table.
Hearing the noise, Xu Zhiyan turned to Qu Ji with a smile and said, "I packed some midnight snacks when I went to the cafeteria last night, but I bought too much. You can come and eat with us."
Qu Ji was flattered.
I wanted to refuse, but my stomach was honest.
The still warm food almost kept beckoning to him.
Teenagers are in the period of growth, so Qu Ji threw his schoolbag on the bed, thanked him and started to eat.
Under the influence of food, the whole dormitory was filled with warm friendship between classmates from the inside out.
Taking advantage of the fact that the distance between them had shortened a lot, Xu Zhiyan did not intend to wait until the lights were turned off at ten o'clock, and took the initiative to ask about the relevant information about the dormitory game.
At least the lights are on now, so his roommate, who is eating with grease in his mouth, won't turn around and bite him.
"Bedroom game?"
Qu Ji was stunned at first, then nodded, and started talking about the rules while holding a chicken leg in his mouth.
"Dormitory games are an old tradition in the school. Students in every dormitory have to play them. The content is very simple."
"Rumor has it that there are more than just people living in the school dormitory."
"They are exactly the same as ordinary students, there is no difference"
"But once the lights are turned off every night, this inhuman student will reveal his true colors."
"Each student can ask a question, and whoever is called upon will answer it. The person who is called upon must tell the truth. In the end, everyone needs to identify who is not a human from the answers..."
Speaking of the latter part, Qu Ji suddenly stopped.
He seemed to realize something, and instantly felt that the chicken leg in his mouth no longer tasted delicious.
Xu Zhiyan looked at the high school student who suddenly stopped in front of him, turned his head silently and clicked on the panel.
Sure enough, the information about dormitory games has been updated.
【Dormitory game is about to begin】
[Players please be prepared. If you cannot accurately select the ghost among your roommates, you will be attacked by the ghost. 】
"Choosing the best roommate..."
Xu Zhiyan pursed his lips and looked at Qu Ji who was standing beside him as if he had been struck by lightning.
His good roommate also seemed to realize the problem.
Eating the remaining chicken legs with tears in my eyes.
It was damn worth the four hundred bucks!
There are only two people in the dormitory. If he is not a ghost, then it is obvious who the other one is, right?
His evil roommate suddenly became autistic, and I wonder if it will affect the progress of the dormitory game.
In the live broadcast room, the audience almost laughed crazy.
[Hahahahahahahahaha grass]
[Why! Why do these horror scenes become weird when they reach Xiao Baiwan! ]
【Go ahead, Xiao Baiwan! 1v1! 】
【hhhh is comparable to playing open-card Landlord! 】
Turn off lights at ten o'clock.
Xu Zhiyan lay on the bed, listening to Qu Ji tossing and turning anxiously in the bed next to him. He felt extremely peaceful inside and even wanted to laugh.
I never thought that this game not only cheats the players, but also the monsters in the dungeons!
