The portrait is made up of messy lines, with a distorted human face in the middle, with its mouth open as if roaring. The eyes and face are made up of diamonds, and the colors on the painting are crooked and look like a child's doodle.
This painting gives people an uncomfortable feeling, and most people will look away at first glance.
Zhou Zhou and Elvia kept staring at the painting.
The two diamond-shaped eyes are mostly left blank, with only a small black graffiti near the top, which makes it look like the person in the painting is silently screaming in pain to the sky.
Zeus was circling around the classroom boredly, then he turned around in the air and boasted, "Look at me."
When Zhou Zhou and Alvia turned around after hearing the voice, the pupils of the black graffiti on the portrait immediately turned downward, staring straight at Alvia standing in front of him.
"What are you looking at?" Zhou Zhou asked first.
Zeus spun a few more times in the air: "See how powerful I am."
"Great." Zhou Zhou was very supportive. If he didn't need to get on all fours, there would probably have been a round of loud applause.
Alvia: “…”
When the two turned around and chatted with Zeus, the person in the portrait moved.
The messy lines seemed like a cage that bound it. In the constant struggle, the lines broke silently one by one, splashing blocks of color on the portrait.
Finally, it broke free from its restraints, its irregular head gradually protruded from the flat drawing board, and its mouth opened.
The black mouth opened wider and wider, and even the scarlet oral cavity could be seen.
As if a person who has been hungry for a long time saw food, the person on the drawing board tried to open his mouth towards Elvia.
Alvia seemed to be completely unaware of the object slowly approaching from behind and did not turn around.
It was very clear from Zeus's perspective that he had been waiting for this moment by attracting Elvia's attention.
Half of the person's body came out of the painting and was very close to Elvia.
In an instant, his mouth opened as wide as it could, even torn apart his face, and he suddenly pounced towards Elvia.
Zeus' gloating expression just appeared and disappeared the next second.
Because the monster that came out of the painting was crushed by Elvia who turned around instantly.
The seemingly scary monster didn't even last a second in front of him. Colorful paint splattered on the walls and the ground, even staining Elvia's hands.
He shook his hands slowly and looked at Zeus with a particularly meaningful look.
Zeus floated higher with a guilty conscience, his eyes drifting left and right.
Zhou Zhou's reaction was also very quick. He jumped to the other side the moment the paint splashed out. He also felt guilty. As a copy designer, he knew that there was a problem with the portrait. Of course, he knew it, so he felt so guilty that he didn't dare to look at the other party.
The damage to the portrait seemed to be a sign. The portraits in the classroom began to twist and deform, breaking away from the portraits and attacking Elvia.
Not only in this classroom, but also in the painting of a tiger descending from the mountain hanging in the corridor, a lifelike silver-white giant tiger broke away from the painting, and a pair of cold gray eyes stared at Elvia, making hunting movements.
And their target is all Elvia.
The originally quiet building was filled with all kinds of strange-shaped objects, but they made no sound while moving, and they continued to attack Elvia like a pantomime.
Zhou Zhou and Zeus were like air in their eyes and could not be seen at all.
Every time a painting object is killed, the paint on its body will splatter everywhere, and the walls, the ground, and the handrails will all be covered with layers of paint.
It can be seen from the fact that Elvia is careful not to let the paint fall on himself that he is very good at this.
If it were another player, it might not be that simple.
Zhou Zhou and Zeus stood aside and watched silently. They could even receive the occasional glance from Elvia, but his eyes were all on Zhou Zhou, not paying any attention to Zeus.
Soon, the battle was over.
Except for some paint left on her hands at the beginning due to her being caught off guard, there was no trace of paint on Elvia's body afterwards.
After it was over, Elvia walked up to Zhou Zhou and picked him up.
"There's paint all over the floor, be careful not to get it stained."
Zhou Zhou, who was originally preparing to leave by himself, lay down again after hearing this.
They were on the second floor and could see the lobby on the first floor from the corridor. At this moment, two sneaky players were standing at the entrance of the building.
Zhou Zhou: "So it was them. I thought it was too weird to be scared by Zeus. They must be pretending."
The two sneaky players were A Yu and A Feng who were scared away.
"Are they planning to sit back and reap the benefits?" Although Zhou Zhou didn't mind players using various means to pass the level, he was somewhat unhappy when they schemed against Al.
The two men crept along the wall and then quietly went up the stairs on the far left. It didn't look like this was their first time coming in and they were very familiar with the route they were taking.
"They don't think we have been eliminated, do they?" Zhou Zhou couldn't help but ask.
Elvia didn't say much. After all, he didn't have much information at the moment, but now was indeed a good opportunity.
"Follow and see."
Elvia’s anti-tracking skills were indeed very good, and she was not discovered by the two men until she reached the top floor.
The two players entered the classroom on the top floor. It seemed to be a place for storing miscellaneous items. There were several large objects in the middle covered with white cloth. The two carefully walked around them, then walked to the innermost bookcase, opened the books inside and looked for something.
Alvia stood at the door, staring at the backs of the two people with some confusion.
Logically speaking, the players who did not act according to their roles disappeared. Since these two were still there, it meant that they did act according to the role-playing. He met them more than ten minutes after class. What did they discover during this time? Why is this building so familiar?
There was no point in guessing here, so Alvia walked into the classroom quietly.
But the next moment, the objects covered with white cloth in the classroom began to move.
The originally curled up objects stretched their bodies, and the white cloth fell off. They were a group of plaster statues used for painting. These plaster statues were taller than ordinary people when they stood up. They stood up stiffly and sluggishly at the beginning, but gradually became flexible. The two players also noticed the movement in the classroom and saw Elvia at the door.
But instead of running away, they turned around and flipped through the books even faster.
It was time for Alvia to perform again. Zhou Zhou wisely prepared to do so, but Alvia rubbed his head and said, "No need."
Don’t you need to come down? How can we fight then?
Zhou Zhou tilted his head, and the next moment he found himself being held by Elvia with one hand. Then, in less than a minute, these majestic and strong plaster statues were shattered like tofu by Elvia's punch, and all turned into debris.
It seemed that the two players had not found what they were looking for yet, and looked at Alvia with an unpleasant expression: "Well, what a coincidence."
Alvia: "Tell me."
"say what?"
"What brought me here for? Why don't these things attack you?"
"What are you talking about? This is our first time here too."
"Is your goal so clear for the first time?" Elvia glanced meaningfully at the bookshelf behind them.
The two stopped talking, just looked at each other, and the next second they attacked Elvia.
They seemed to have a lot of props on them, and various sleeping charms and fire charms were all attacking Elvia.
These props are indeed very useful, after all, they are genuine props from the game. However, if all the props cannot hit the target, then these props are useless no matter how powerful they are.
In the end, Alvia eliminated these two people neatly.
Looking at their "corpses" lying on the ground, Zhou Zhou asked, "Don't you ask them what secrets they know?"
After trying every possible means, these two people were ready to tell Elvia what they knew, just to avoid being eliminated, but Elvia still eliminated them cleanly.
"Need not."
I walked slowly to the bookshelf, which was filled with books about art and some extracurricular reading materials.
Alvia flipped through each book for a while, but it was impossible to tell from his expression whether he had discovered anything.
"Let's go."
"Where are you going?" Zeus was always nearby, still invisible. No player could see him except Elvia and Zhou Zhou.
"Go and clear customs."
? ? ?
"You already know how to pass the level?" Zhou Zhou asked in disbelief. That's impossible. The game has just begun. Even if I collect all the clues from all the places Al has been to, I can't find a way to pass the game.
"Not enough clues?" Elvia looked down at Zhou Zhou and asked tentatively.
Zhou Zhou stopped talking immediately. He would never reveal any information.
Alvia snorted and chuckled, rubbed his entire body, and walked out of the classroom.
The place where the battle took place has been restored to its original state, and the walls are still as white as new, as if everything that happened before was just their imagination.
But when Alvia passed by, all the paintings were activated again and turned into moving monsters again.
But this time, Elvia didn't make a move. Instead, he took something out of his pocket and threw it out, and it fell out of the half-open window at the end of the second floor.
The monsters all turned around and rushed towards the window.
But the next moment, it was melted by the sunlight outside the window and turned into wisps of green smoke.
The blue smoke twisted and turned, flowing back through the window, penetrating into the walls and blank paper, and turned back into a painting.
As expected, the two student ID cards would attract attacks from monsters. The two men must have discovered this, so they didn't carry them with them at all.
But if that was the case, why did they bring him here?
Still not sure? So they lured him in as bait to test the monster's level, or was there some other reason?
There was no way to verify this matter, so Alvia no longer worried about it.
After walking out of the art building, he walked towards the building next to it with a clear goal. At this time, some players gradually appeared on the road. They looked panicked, and it could be heard from their conversations that many of them had been attacked by monsters that appeared on the buildings, and many of them had been eliminated.
Alvia entered other buildings, looked at each floor, and then looked for books inside. After quickly flipping through the books, he would leave without teaming up with other players, and he did not say what his intention was.
There are too many buildings in the Love Academy. Even though Elvia only went into the teaching building, she didn't visit all of them before dark.
As for other players, many of them were wandering outside because there were powerful and aggressive monsters appearing in the building.
The clear moonlight was as soft as water, and the lights on the campus were bright everywhere. In addition, players could be seen hurrying around from time to time. It was not like other dungeons where ghosts and monsters abounded at night, making people feel terrified.
"You said if we defeat those monsters, will they drop any clues or items?"
"Come on, with our level, we'll just be killed if we go up there. The player who's a little famous in Nightmare City, the one we saw during the day, was eaten as soon as he came face to face with the monster. We'd better stay here and maybe we can pass the level if we stay until the end."
The two players were chatting under the street light, looking at the players holding props with envy on their faces.
"I also saw a player holding a Nightmare. It looked so good, I wonder how many points he spent to buy it."
"Indeed, you didn't see it. That player looked very powerful. I didn't even dare to stare at him."
"Why wouldn't you dare? You're too timid. You're not a monster, hahaha."
The two were chatting, and one of them looked around casually, and suddenly found a player standing under a big tree in the middle of the lawn, waving at them.
"It seems like someone is calling us over there."
The two looked over curiously, and the player looked around furtively and waved at them again.
"Come quickly, I found the clue to the mission." The other party shouted quietly, deliberately lowering the voice, as if afraid of being heard by others.
"What clue?" one of the players asked curiously.
Road, and walk towards each other at the same time.
His companion grabbed him and whispered, "Wait a minute, in case the other party..."
He gave a look and his companions immediately understood. What if the other party was a monster, or was deliberately luring them to their deaths?
"It's me. You don't recognize me. I woke up in the same dormitory as you." The player tilted his head. The moonlight shone on his face. It was indeed the player who woke up in the same dormitory as them.
"If this clue could not be obtained by one person alone, I would not have called you. I've been looking for a long time, but I don't know any other players. You are the only one I have some acquaintance with. If you don't come, forget it. I'll find someone else." The player seemed dissatisfied with their suspicious attitude and turned to look at the intersection, as if ready to look for other players.
"No, no, no, we came in together, it's fate."
The two players let down their guard and trotted across the lawn: "What clues did you find?"
The player stood alone under the tree, with most of his body in the shadow of the trunk. Only when he occasionally tilted his head would the soft moonlight shine on his face.
He smiled at the two approaching players and said, "Come closer. The clue I found is a way to clear the level directly. We can't let others hear it."
The two walked straight up to the player, and the three of them gathered together, indeed looking like they were ready to tell a secret.
The tallest player among them had to lean over and lower his head to hear what he said.
"Listen to me, I discovered..."
The tall player listened to the other person intently, his eyes casually moving across the ground, and saw the shadows of the two of them standing next to each other.
Um?
Something doesn't seem right.
Under the pale moonlight, the only shadow on the ground, apart from him and his companions, was that of the tree.
But the tree was not thick enough to completely cover the person's figure.
So, the player who called them over had no shadow.
The tall player felt a chill down his spine when he thought of this. He raised his hand and reflexively grabbed his companion's arm and tried to run, but it was too late.
A minute later, the two players disappeared, leaving only the smiling player, still squatting under the tree waiting for the next target.
"It's so boring, Alvia, you better finish the level quickly, I want to go out and play." Zeus floated in the air, standing upside down out of boredom.
"Can't you go out anytime you want? If you're bored, go to work, and you won't be bored when you work." Alvia didn't even raise her head.
They had already visited most of the buildings on campus, except for a few.
Zeus curled his lips and said he didn't want it.
At this time, a player was walking towards them. Seeing from a distance that Elvia suddenly dodged to the side, looking terrified.
Bored Zeus' eyes turned, as if he had thought of something, and slowly floated behind Elvia, then hung on him.
Since she couldn't feel any weight, Elvia didn't react even if she noticed and continued on her way.
When passing by the player hiding in the bushes, Zeus released his invisibility.
In the eyes of the player, the ghost of a child suddenly appeared behind Al. The ghost clung to the player and even discovered him, grinning at him.
That smile looked evil and weird. He looked like a child, but his whole body was gray. His translucent state allowed one to even see the trees on the other side through him.
The ghost seemed to have discovered a new target. It slowly floated up from the player it was attached to, then stretched out its hand and floated towards him.
"Uncle, I'm so cold~"
"Ahhhhh, help!" The player jumped out of the bushes and ran away.
Alvia and Zhou Zhou stood there looking at the player's panicked back, and Zeus also came back with a chuckle.
The two looked at Zeus at the same time, wondering when he developed this new hobby.
Zhou Zhou was very impressed with Zeus: "Zeus, I think you can use this form as an NPC in the dungeon next time. It looks very effective."
"Sure, but scaring people is really fun."
Zhou Zhou perked up: "Yeah, I think so too."
Elvia didn't interrupt their conversation, and started walking again with Zhou Zhou in her arms. He should pass the customs as soon as possible.
“Woo woo woo~”
Elvia paused, and the three of them looked in the direction of the building at the same time.
In the corner outside the building, it seemed like someone was crying.
"Do you want to go and take a look?" Zhou Zhou looked up and asked Elvia.
Elvia didn't reply, but turned around and walked towards the source of the sound.
Even in the dark shadows, Elvia could see clearly that it was a female player, squatting in the corner with her knees hugged and crying.
When she noticed someone coming, the female player immediately stopped crying and looked up at the person, but she kept hiccuping and looked very pitiful.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I was just too scared." The female player didn't look very old, and her red eyes from crying looked very charming.
"There are so many monsters here. This copy is too scary. I don't dare to continue playing alone." She looked up at Elvia, her eyes seemed to be seeking help from the other party.
"If you're scared, you can quit the game," Alvia suggested.
Female player: “…”
She was stunned for a moment, then whispered: "Can you, can you take me with you."
"cannot."
"Why, I won't hold you back. If you get into danger, you can push me out, and I won't complain."
"trouble."
Zhou Zhou opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to comfort the female player, but then he remembered that he was now a prop animal and couldn't speak, so he could only listen to Elvia's cold and ruthless words to block the other party.
Alas~Although Elvia is very powerful, how can she have this attitude when encountering a female player who needs help?
As Zhou Zhou thought about it, he nestled in Alvia's arms and rubbed his chest obediently.
I seem to be gloating.
Feeling Zhou Zhou's rubbing against her, Elvia's cold look towards the female player gradually melted away, and she began to rub the little white ball in her arms again.
The female player looked at the player who would rather be gentle and considerate to a prop than say a word to her, and her pitiful expression gradually disappeared.
She stood up and took a step out of the shadows.
The moonlight slanted down, penetrated her body, and cast a soft shadow on the ground.
There was no shadow under her feet either.
