Chapter 44 Abnormal Love has opened a hidden line: [I...
Hearing the prompt sound as expected, Cecia's mouth curled up into a triumphant smile. She moved quickly and decisively, grabbing the other person's arm.
"you--"
There was a hint of confusion in the other party's childish voice. He only had time to utter one syllable before the countdown to entering the copy was completely reset.
Suddenly, I felt dizzy.
The scene in front of her eyes became dark, and Kai's voice became increasingly blurred, as if it was getting farther and farther away from her.
When her vision returned to normal, she was in a pink room.
The room is filled with butterflies, balloons, stars, moons and other elements. A pink game interface pops up on the screen opposite - "Abnormal Love" is written in cute fonts in the middle, and there is a candy-shaped button with "Start Game" below.
No mechanical sound when a copy starts?
Cecilia frowned, she paced slowly in the room, looking at every corner.
All the objects here are flat, like thin pieces of paper pasted on the wall, without any sense of three-dimensionality.
As a three-dimensional creature, she felt an indescribable weirdness when surrounded by two-dimensional objects.
Approaching the screen, she pressed a button.
With a soft "click" sound, the dreamy, pink bubble-filled game interface on the screen instantly disappeared. At the same time, the surrounding room seemed to be cast under some kind of magic, and its style suddenly changed.
Sculptures, silverware, exquisite bird cages...
With the palace-style decorations appearing in the room, the beauty of maximalism is displayed here. They are also two-dimensional objects, like exquisite paintings.
"Please choose your love interest from the following creatures, and let it choose a romantic way to die."
A line of golden cursive characters appeared on the screen in front of her, and below the characters were eight blurry black shadows. They kept flickering, as if tempting her to make a choice.
None of these shadowy outlines looked normal... Could she not choose?
As if sensing her thoughts, the game interface jumped again, and all eight shadows were lit up, and the originally luxurious room turned into a black and red tone——
There were many bloody handprints on the walls, spider webs were entangled on all kinds of furniture, and even the lights above began to flicker, making the light in the room dim and bright, creating a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.
"Hidden route has been opened: [I want them all], I wish you a happy game~"
The black frame was matched with red words, and scarlet liquid was dripping from the end of the words...
This is more like a horror game than a "love story".
The game interface stayed for about five seconds, the bloody room gradually dissipated, and the surrounding objects returned to normal from the two-dimensional plane.
A snow-white door appeared in front of her. Through the window, she could see children in uniform sitting in the room and a vague black shadow standing on the podium.
At the same time, the system prompt sound finally sounded.
[The copy "Abnormal Love" has been loaded. The number of players in this copy is: seven. ]
[The college only accepts students with prominent family backgrounds and excellent academic performance. The new transfer student is an exception - she does not meet the admission requirements, but has transferred into the best class.
The transfer student has a simple personality and is kind, which has won the admiration of many people. However, she avoids those suitors as if she has seen some kind of monster...】
[Players will enter the dungeon as "transfer students". Please deduce the truth of the world while saving your own life. ]
Transfer student? Isn't this the "she" in the background of the dungeon?
As Cecia was thinking to herself, the door suddenly opened.
"Classmate, what are you still standing there for? Come in, everyone is waiting for you to introduce yourself."
The dark shadow on the podium walked over, and when I looked closer, I realized that it was completely a different species from the students below the stage.
Although it barely has a human shape, it has no facial features other than the eyes.
As if to make up for the missing organs, the eyes are densely packed all over the body.
When it spoke, its throat trembled and the eyeballs on its neck kept moving, but its mouth was completely blocked by the skin, so it was unknown where the sound came from.
"Don't be nervous, just follow me in."
It spoke gently and led Cecilia into the classroom and to the podium.
Perhaps to comfort her, it naturally stretched out its palm with eyes and tried to pat Cecilia's back, but she dodged by turning sideways.
As if it had noticed this little movement, all its eyes narrowed instantly, and several sharp gazes focused at the same time, looking Cecilia up and down.
"This is our transfer student, Cecia. Although she comes from a poor family, she has a kind heart. Please get along well with her."
When facing the students below the stage, it regained its friendly attitude, as if nothing had happened just now.
"Ms. Cecia, please introduce yourself to everyone."
Emphasizing poor family background in aristocratic schools?
Are they hoping that she will be isolated?
Cecia sneered, ignored the other party, and walked straight to the last row of empty seats.
"…Cesia is very enthusiastic. Now that everyone is here, let's start the class now."
It had a calm voice and did not take Cecilia's offensive behavior seriously, perfectly playing the role of a "good teacher".
No, really no one finds it weird?
The students in the audience are obviously human beings, why is the teacher a monster with eyes all over his body!
Well...but not all students are normal.
Glancing at her deskmate, Cecilia added silently in her heart.
Except for the multi-eyed teacher, most of the students in the classroom look like ordinary humans. Only her deskmate is different, which is why she chose this seat.
"Hello, I'm Ruan Liang."
The other party forced a sunny smile and extended his hand to introduce himself to Cecia.
However, the smile on that weird face was creepy.
Although its body was in human form, its neck began to split and two heads grew out.
The two heads were pressed tightly together, as if they were a pair of twin brothers sharing the same body.
What’s even more shocking is that its head is bald without any hair, and its skin is wrinkled, just like two little old men.
Just as Cecia was about to speak, three boxes suddenly popped up in front of her.
【1. Scream and ask the teacher to change seats. 】
【2. Shake hands and make friendly responses. 】
【3. Ignore.】
Without any hesitation, she chose the third one.
After pressing the transparent box, she turned her head automatically and couldn't utter a word, as if her body was controlled by something.
She can't move freely until she has completed the "ignore" command.
Perhaps it was the result of the choice, the other party did not speak again for the entire class, but the other head kept staring at her with a gloomy look.
After class, the students swarmed around Ruan Liang next to Cecilia...
"Brother Ruan! Wanna play basketball? The finals are tomorrow, why don't you practice?"
"Wow, where are you planning to take Ruan Liang? He's going to a club activity soon!"
"Don't push, don't push! I brought a drink for Brother Ruan, it's his favorite flavor!"
“…”
A group of students were chattering, which gave Cecilia a headache.
Being inexplicably pulled into the dungeon, a human should be in an uneasy state, and there is a monster next to her... Those who would surround her must be NPCs.
After making sure that the target was not among the group, Cecia stood up and forced her way out of the crowd, causing a wave of complaints and dissatisfaction.
She ignored those people and instead glanced at the expressions and clothes of other classmates.
Having an animated conversation with my desk mate… No.
Eating in peace... no.
Secretly looking at the phone under the table... No.
Observing people's expressions and behaviors, she used the process of elimination to eliminate most people, and finally narrowed the scope to four or five people who had no friends, no entertainment activities, and looked very uneasy.
Walking straight towards a boy who was not wearing a school uniform, Cecia asked him to join a team - because of their different clothes, he was the most suspicious.
[Dear player, do you want to team up with NPC "Li"? ]
Great, that's ruled out, this person just forgot to wear his school uniform.
Following this method, she applied to form a team one by one, and in the end only the girl with mushroom hair in the first row was left.
[Dear player, do you want to team up with player "Ji Lin"? ]
Found it!
Cecia nodded "yes" without hesitation.
[An application has been sent for you. Please get a positive response from the other party within five minutes. ]
"Huh?"
Seeing the system page, a team application popped up, and Ji Lin murmured in confusion: "Player Cecia..."
"It's me."
Patting Ji Lin on the shoulder, Cecilia took the initiative to reveal her identity.
"You were just pulled into the dungeon, right? There's something wrong with this dungeon. There's no way to exit it voluntarily, and there's no pain shielding system... So, how about you team up with me and we work together to clear it?"
After going through two copies, she was already familiar with this set of rhetoric. Ji Lin was dizzy with her rapid-fire rhetoric and soon nodded in agreement.
[Congratulations to players Cecia and Ji Lin for successfully forming a team. The current team leader is Cecia. ]
"Ji Lin, do you know anything about this copy?"
Cecia asked first.
"House of Truth" is a real game that exists in the human world. According to Wang Jianguo, he knows information about the copy and even saw the strategy through some means - if he can get relevant information from humans, it will be much easier to pass the level.
"Copy..."
Ji Lin's thick bangs covered her eyes, and she wore round-frame glasses on her face, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito.
"I actually haven't played House of Truth much. My father was playing it and registered an account for me... I heard that most of the dungeons in it are scary. I'm afraid of these things, so I've never opened the game."
“This time, I don’t know how I got in.”
It seems that no information can be obtained.
Cecia turned around and prepared to leave, but the other party's thin and light voice sounded behind her -
"But... your deskmate's name sounds familiar to me..."
