Just as Zhou Zhou was about to fall into the monster's mouth, a hand suddenly grabbed the back of his collar.
He picked up Zhou Zhou, who looked weak, pitiful and helpless, like a sack and helped him escape from the monster's huge mouth in time.
Zhou Zhou was held by the collar and barely stood still. The other party pressed him against the wall again, "Don't make a sound."
Zhou Zhou's height is the standard 180cm, but the man who suddenly appeared is more than half a head taller than him. With his head tilted up in the darkness, Zhou Zhou could only see the other person's smooth jaw and thin lips.
The two of them were pressed against each other in an ambiguous posture, the other's breathing was steady and calm, and there was no shyness or anger on Zhou Zhou's face.
An invisible air pressure enveloped the two of them. They were clearly there, but they could not feel any breath.
The monster on the ceiling couldn't find its target and swam around in circles for a few times. It turns out that it can not only move on the ceiling, but the surrounding walls are also its home.
It moved down along the wall and even reached the side of the two people. The wall next to Zhou Zhou continued to swell and yellow-green spots continued to appear.
The man who was pressing Zhou Zhou's shoulder frowned slightly and turned his gaze to the person he accidentally saved. He originally thought that the other person would either scream continuously if he felt the monster approaching, or even if he was brave enough, he would tremble constantly. However, he did not expect that the other party had no reaction at all, and even tilted his head to look at the place where the monster appeared.
Is it because it’s too dark and I can’t see, so my reaction is slow?
Or are you really not afraid?
The rising and falling sound of the monster's breathing rang next to his ears, and Zhou Zhou, who was leaning against the wall, could feel the wall behind him being pulled and deformed.
As if it had been hungry for a long time, the sound of the monster swallowing saliva could be clearly heard.
The man stared at the monster, his ice-blue eyes flashing.
After circling around, the monster finally left. The wall returned to calm, the spots disappeared, and there was no trace of the horrifying traces just now.
The man loosened his hand and took a step back, and the layer of pressure disappeared immediately.
Only then did Zhou Zhou see the other person's appearance clearly. He had deep facial features, a high nose bridge, and a very handsome appearance. Moreover, his unique temperament makes him look even better.
But the other person's expression was very cold, and his ice-blue eyes seemed to contain ice and snow, and one would get frostbitten just by looking at them.
He nodded at Zhou Zhou, not caring whether the other party could see him in the dark.
"Thank you." Zhou Zhou whispered.
The man did not respond. He just looked at Zhou Zhou in the dark with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, and then said, "Can you do me a favor?"
"Okay." Zhou Zhou agreed immediately without asking any more questions.
"Follow me."
The man didn't say what he wanted to help with and just turned and left.
If other people met such an arrogant person, they might get angry, but Zhou Zhou is not angry at the moment, nor does he think there is anything wrong with the other party's attitude. He just follows behind the other party.
Zhou Zhou could feel the monster's movements. This time it reached the fifth floor again. It seemed to be moving towards where the monster was, its eyes wandering around looking for its hiding place.
The man occasionally looked back and every time he met Zhou Zhou's gaze.
He discovered that the other person could see in the dark. The higher the mental power of a person, the more they could see and feel in the dark. But if the other party had a very high mental power, why did he act so defenseless when he was pushed down just now, and didn't even use a trace of mental power?
Everyone in the interstellar age has mental power. Although there are differences in levels, as long as you have good mental power, the courses you learn since childhood will teach you how to use mental power, so it is impossible to say that you don't know how to use it.
So I would never think that the person in front of me is not an interstellar person at all. Strictly speaking, he is not even a human being physically.
They found the monster on a wall on the fifth floor.
The monster on the wall kept rising and falling like its breathing, and was very close to the two people who were staring at it, but it had no intention of attacking at all.
A white and tender finger slowly stretched towards the monster.
The man saw it, but did not stop it. He just watched in silence.
"Hello." He poked the monster gently, and the touch of his fingertips was slightly cool.
The monster seemed not to notice anything and continued to breathe normally.
"Hello, do you want to have a relationship?" Zhou Zhou kept Shirley's words in mind and poked her a few more times.
"Plop." With a slight tearing sound, a piece of white wall skin fell off the monster's body, and a small round hole was left on it like a finger inserted into tofu.
Zhou Zhou blinked, retracted his fingers and looked at it in confusion for a few seconds, as if he didn't expect it to be so crispy.
The monster's movements also paused for a few seconds, as if it was stunned by the scene just now, and even its breathing stopped.
Not seeing anything wrong, Zhou Zhou stretched out his evil finger again and continued to poke at another intact part of the monster.
"hello."
The monster immediately squirmed a few times, and then with two puffs, it spit out two red objects from the largest gap in the middle.
Two red hearts slowly floated into the hands of the two people, and then the monster immediately dived into the wall and disappeared.
The red heart turned into a cold, hard crystal in his hand. The red crystal was pure and bright, more like a ruby shaped like a heart.
Zhou Zhou always felt that this scene was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"Well done." The man suddenly said.
The key to triggering the clues is two people, which he had discovered before. Now it seems that there is another one, which is to say the word love in front of the monster. Now it seems that these two conditions happen to be met.
The other party's luck was indeed very good, or it could be that he had already guessed these two points.
Zhou Zhou: “?”
Zhou Zhou didn’t know what he did to get praised, but it seemed like his first active relationship ended in failure.
At this moment, the monster was on the ceiling of another floor, tremblingly stretching out a tentacle, and placing the fallen piece of wall onto the hole poked by Zhou Zhou. Its cautious appearance was like a poor bald man wiping tears and releasing the fallen hair on his head.
Trying to put the wall back on.
The small piece of wall was very brittle and it broke into pieces before it was put on the ground. The monster froze and tried to catch it but it was too late. All the white debris fell to the ground.
monster:"……"
At this moment, a player ran over in the corridor.
The terrified player stepped right on the slag, leaving only a white shoe print on it.
monster:"!!!"
The angry monster turned around, ready to vent its anger at losing its hair or peeling its wall skin on this unlucky player...
A scream came from upstairs, and Zhou Zhou looked up reflexively, but the man didn't pay any attention. He was just short of one person, and he didn't have the kindness to save others.
"Let's go."
Zhou Zhou hurriedly followed, "My name is Zhou Zhou, what's your name?"
The man walked very fast, and Zhou Zhou could only jog to keep up with him.
"Al."
When they were almost at the gate, the other party suddenly said.
Before Zhou Zhou could say anything, he noticed two people peeking at the door.
They were really waiting for him!
Although Shirley and Keli couldn't see, they heard Zhou Zhou calling their names in the dark and waved hard inside.
"I found the clue, look!" Zhou Zhou spread out his palms and showed the red heart to the two of them like offering a treasure.
Shirley and Keli couldn't even see Zhou Zhou clearly, let alone the thing in his hand, but they still praised him in the dark.
At this moment, the night of Love Academy passed, the sky turned from dark to bright, and a ray of sunlight shone on a few people.
The ruby in the palm of the hand looks like a ball of red flame under the sun, with a rich color.
The two people who were praising in the dark were speechless for a moment and looked at the red heart in amazement.
"Is this a clue?" Shirley's eyes lit up. She had always liked such beautiful things, and she didn't expect to see such a scene as soon as her vision recovered.
"Well, here you go." Zhou Zhou stretched forward his hand holding the red heart.
Keli waved his hands quickly, "We didn't do anything. This is all your credit. You can take it."
Zhou Zhou shook his head and continued, "For you." He couldn't use it.
Shirley followed suit after she was distracted, "We are a team of three anyway, so it doesn't matter who gets it."
In the end, the peach heart was handed over to Keli for safekeeping.
It was only then that Zhou Zhou discovered that Al was missing. It should be said that he had left before dawn.
The campus during the day was indeed different from yesterday. It was more like a relic left over from the passage of time, and was in ruins everywhere.
Zhou Zhou looked at the surrounding scenery with some discomfort. He was used to the brightly colored scenery on campus, and now the devastation made him feel at a loss.
"Wow, it's spooky in here." Keli exclaimed as he looked around.
They sat on a patch of grass that had been green yesterday but was now grey and decayed.
After learning from Zhou Zhou what happened after he went in alone, he was outraged at the person who wanted to harm Zhou Zhou, but he also had mixed feelings about the fact that the monster would not harm two people who had come into contact with each other.
If they weren't so timid, they might have known it earlier.
"I'm sorry, I lost the flashlight you gave me." Zhou Zhou felt so guilty that even his eyes drooped.
"It's okay, it's okay. The flashlight actually belongs to the player who left with me before, not mine. Besides, it's daybreak now and we can't use it. The main thing is the guy who pushed you down. If we meet him again, let's beat him together." Keli clenched his fists.
Zhou Zhou raised his eyes again, "Okay."
Shirley, who had been silent, suddenly shouted, "I remember!"
Zhou Zhou and Keli both turned to look at her.
"How could I have forgotten this? Do you remember the Age of Revitalization? The one from the elementary school history book."
Zhou Zhou looked confused. Keli thought for a while and said seriously, "It's been too long. I forgot."
"You poor student, the Age of Activation is a strange phenomenon that occurred on ancient Earth thousands of years ago. At that time, 20% of inanimate objects around the world suddenly showed signs of life, from small dolls to large buildings, all showing unique signs of life, but they only lasted for a few decades before disappearing. Scientists and historians have not been able to give a reasonable explanation to this day."
Shirley was explaining science seriously, looking like a scholar.
Keli was silent for a moment, "Isn't that a legend?"
"What a legend! It's even written in history books. Did you even listen to the lessons in elementary school?"
He really didn't listen much. Xue·Keli·Zha had no way to refute and could only listen silently.
Zhou Zhou was in a daze from beginning to end, but his clear eyes stared at them earnestly as he spoke, as if he had a feeling like, "I know everything but I'm just watching you talk."
"The monsters in this building might be creatures from the Revitalization Age thousands of years ago that the game imitated. Why didn't I think of it earlier?" Shirley was a little annoyed.
"Look, you're not smart either." Keli gloated.
Just when the two were about to start arguing again, a slight dripping sound rang in their ears.
After a pause in preparation for a quarrel, the two immediately opened the task panel.
[Main task: Go to the library to borrow a book. 】
The two of them looked delighted, "Next we have to go to the library, the next clue is there."
Zhou Zhou glanced at the task panel in front of them and nodded when he heard this.
