The two of them froze for a moment, all their thoughts disrupted by the words just said, and the room was strangely quiet for a moment.
"Gudong." The familiar swallowing sound sounded again from above.
Keli and Shirley looked at each other, then stood up slowly, not daring to make any noise. Zhou Zhou also stood up, not knowing why.
"run!"
Shirley was right behind the door, and she immediately turned around and opened it after hearing the scolding. The door had been unlocked with Zhou Zhou's help a few minutes ago and could be opened by simply turning the door handle.
Keli grabbed Zhou Zhou, who was still confused, with one hand, and with his other hand pulled Shirley and rushed out.
The candle on the ground was blown out by a few people, and the whole dormitory fell into darkness again.
Because he had a candle, Keli put the flashlight in his pocket. At this time, he was holding people with both hands and had no chance to take out the flashlight. He could only run in the dark, hoping to get rid of the monster as soon as possible.
Zhou Zhou did not struggle, but followed Keli obediently and just helped him change direction subtly when the other party was pulling him to hit the wall.
He was dragged by one wrist and ran away. His slightly curly hair became messy because of running. He looked a little stupid. He asked while running: "Where are we going?"
Keli didn't know either. This place was like a maze. He didn't know where he was, and naturally didn't know where to run.
"Of course, we need to find a way to leave this building first!" Shirley replied breathlessly.
"Oh." Zhou Zhou understood.
Shirley thought that they had been running around for a long time, and they should have been able to get rid of the monster after such a long time. "Brother, ok, stop, come down now."
Keli also felt tired. He had been nervous since he entered the game and had no time to rest at all.
"Okay, stop, stop."
The three of them stopped. Keli loosened his hands, bent down and supported his knees to catch his breath, while Shirley also held her chest and breathed deeply.
Only Zhou Zhou stood calmly by the side watching them gasping for breath. He tilted his head and watched for a while, then imitated them in breathing in and out. With his messy curly hair, he looked very similar to the two people who were gasping for breath next to him.
"What is this place?" Shirley asked.
Keli turned on the flashlight and looked for a while and found that it was a hall with two marble pillars standing on the left and right sides. After walking a few steps forward, a dark red metal door came into view. The door was ajar and opened with a slight pull.
A cool breath hit his face, and Keli said uncertainly: "We seem to have reached the door."
Although it was also dark outside, unlike inside the building where it seemed to have merged into the darkness, some objects could still be seen in the dimness; they had indeed come out.
Shirley and Keli sat on a bench outside the building to rest, their tense nerves slowly relaxing. They had been nervous since entering the game, and finally got out of the man-eating building. Both of them were exhausted.
"Brother, you are really amazing. You actually brought us out."
"Yes, is that so? It's mainly because of good luck." Keli didn't know what happened and ran out in a daze.
"Here." A bottle of drink was suddenly stuffed into their hands. The food in the holographic game could be tasted, but points were required to buy food. As novices, they had not earned points yet, so naturally they had never bought any.
Thinking that the drinks were bought by Zhou Zhou with his points, the two of them didn't hesitate to say thank you and unscrewed the drink. It tasted sweet and had a hint of milk. Her eyes lit up, "It tastes good. How many points did you use to buy it?"
Zhou Zhou shook his head and said, "It's free." This is from the school's vending machine. Just press a button and it will come out.
Seeing both of them drinking, Zhou Zhou thought for a moment and added, "xx drink, let you feel the taste of love."
In the past, every time he gave this kind of drink to others, he had to say something. He didn't know why he had to say it, and it seemed that it was okay not to say it now, but because of his previous habit, he still added it.
"Ahem~" Keli was choked, thinking he had heard wrongly, "What?"
Shirley burst out laughing. "I didn't expect you to be so humorous. We have almost recovered now. Thank you. When we pass the customs successfully this time, I will treat you to a meal."
Zhou Zhou's eyes widened, as if he was a little surprised, and he looked at Shirley eagerly with his bright black eyes, "Okay, okay."
Keli looked at Zhou Zhou who had been standing next to him, and suddenly realized that the bench they were sitting on was a double seat. Because they were too tired, he and Shirley sat down as soon as they came over. Zhou Zhou could only stand beside them. Obviously, the other party looked younger than them, probably less than 20 years old. It felt like he was bullying a child, so he quickly stood up and let Zhou Zhou sit down and rest.
"No, I'm not tired." Zhou Zhou refused.
"Hey, why are you trying to be so brave? Just sit down. You are the youngest here. After you have a good rest, you may need to run again later." As Shirley said this, she remembered how she screamed in such an ungraceful manner and could not help laughing out loud.
Keli also laughed. Only Zhou Zhou looked at the two of them blankly. He didn't quite understand why they were laughing, but he laughed too.
"Okay, okay, let's think about what to do next and how to find a way out," said Keli.
The task of completing the game is to find the exit. Since the exit does not refer to the exit of the building where they appeared, it means that it is somewhere inside or outside the building. The range has become wider and there are no clues. It is really not easy to find it within three days.
Shirley muttered something to herself, and a task panel appeared in front of her. The blue transparent panel flashed with a faint halo, but did not illuminate the surroundings. The task panel could only be seen and touched by the person herself, and it could not be used as a prop.
After re-reading the mission content, Shirley discovered a blind spot. "The name of the mission copy is Love Academy. I think we can start from here."
"Love? It's impossible for us to fall in love with the monster just now and then let it find a way out for us." Keli joked.
Shirley's eyes lit up and she said "Hmm~~~" This sound was full of emotion, revealing the surprise of sudden enlightenment.
"I won't go! Are you a real sister? How could you push your brother into the fire?" Keli protested, holding on to the door tightly.
"Didn't you suggest it? Let's give it a try." Shirley put her hands on Keli's back and pushed him into the door.
"Why don't you go! What if I get eaten by a monster?"
"If you get eaten, I'll give you half of my points after the game. Besides, I'm your only sister. Can you bear to see me get eaten by a monster?"
"I can't bear it!"
The two of them quarreled and finally couldn't decide whether to go in or out, so they decided to play rock-paper-scissors, and whoever lost would go in.
Even in the interstellar age, this style of play remains popular.
Let Zhou Zhou hold the flashlight to illuminate the area, and the two of them attacked together.
"Rock, Paper, Scissors!"
Two people making a V sign with their hands swayed under the light.
Both of them felt a little regretful that they had made the same decision. Just as they were preparing for another round, an open hand slowly reached over and joined the two "scissors".
Looking at Zhou Zhou who realized it late and made a "cloth" move, Shirley felt helpless, "Zhou Zhou, Keli can go, we just need to wait outside."
The dim white light of the flashlight made his skin look even whiter, his clear eyes were full of seriousness, and his gentle face made him look like a boy who was out of touch with the world and grew up under meticulous care. It’s okay for the two of them, but I always feel guilty about letting Zhou Zhou go.
"Yeah, Shirley eats a lot every day and doesn't like to exercise. Just running more in the game can be considered exercise~"
The soft flesh on his waist was twisted, and Keli's voice changed in pain. This game is so realistic, even the pain is so real.
"I didn't eat much." Shirley gritted her teeth. He slandered her in front of a good-looking boy. Is he really her brother?
Zhou Zhou still stretched out his white and tender palm, "I'll go."
"It's so dark in there and there are monsters, why don't you go?" Shirley coaxed. Usually she was the one who was coaxed at home, but when faced with the young and naive Zhou Zhou, she learned how to coax him without any instruction.
"I know how to date." Zhou Zhou said honestly, and after thinking for a moment, he added, "I've dated many, many times." It should be said that I've dated many, many, many times...
Is Zhou Zhou still a sea king?
But he looks like he could be fooled by just a piece of candy. Has he ever been in a relationship? Have you had many romances? Who believes it?
Keli, who is single and has never been in a relationship, hummed inwardly, saying that this is absolutely impossible.
Zhou Zhou looked soft, but his attitude was very firm. Keli even touched his chin and said, "Why don't we go in together as three people?"
Shirley: "I was just kidding. How can you fall in love with a monster? Why don't we look for clues somewhere else?"
"I'll help you find clues."
After saying that, Zhou Zhou went in. Seeing that it was too late to stop him, Keli could only quickly pass the flashlight to him. Shirley also shouted from behind, "We are waiting for you at the door, you must come out."
"Okay!" Zhou Zhou pursed his lips and smiled. This was the first time someone said they would wait for him. Before, he always waited for others.
After leaving the area where the two were, the smile on his face slowly faded, and his eyes lowered, hiding the expression in his eyes.
He saw what was on the blue light screen.
[Instance Name: Love Academy]
[Task content: Find the exit and leave the school within three days. 】
If Keli and his friends find that exit, they will never come back after leaving school.
If they can't find the exit, will they stay here forever?
Holding the small flashlight, Zhou Zhou raised his head slightly. He knew that the strange creature was now on the third floor.
But if they stayed here like him, would they also feel lonely and unhappy?
Halfway through the walk, he suddenly heard a scream from above. Zhou Zhou immediately put aside all thoughts in his mind and quickened his pace.
Corey felt that he was being targeted by the monster. His mental strength was very strong and he could keenly sense that the monster was following him. In panic, he shouted and tried to scare the monster away, but it was of no use.
Everything went dark before his eyes, but he could feel that the monster was about to be above his head.
"Damn it! Damn it!" He cursed, regretting why he came to play this damn game. He originally thought that he could make money by playing games, but he didn't expect to go through such a thing.
A faint light suddenly appeared in the darkness, and Corey immediately ran towards the light source.
When I got closer, I found that it was a thin boy with a flashlight in his hand.
Corey, who was almost exhausted, narrowed his eyes and shouted to the other party: "Save me."
Just as he approached the other person, he suddenly snatched the flashlight away and pushed the boy to the ground.
With the light and the boy's delay, he should be able to escape the monster's pursuit.
This is just a game, and I won't really die. Any means used are allowed, Kori thought as he ran. Anyway, if you are eaten by a monster, it's just a failure in the game, there's no big loss.
He saw it clearly in the previous moment. The young man looked like a child from a wealthy family, but he was different. He still had a huge debt to pay off.
Zhou Zhou sat on the ground, tilted his head and watched the other person run away quietly. The flashlight was taken away, and he had to get it back, as it belonged to Keli.
The monster moved on the ceiling like a fish and did not continue to chase forward. It stopped above Zhou Zhou's head, and the black crack kept rolling, slowly forming a swelling as if it was squeezed out by the ceiling, and the crack in the middle was getting bigger and bigger.
With transparent saliva dripping down, it suddenly stretched out and opened its mouth wide towards Zhou Zhou.
