If you look at the golden bow and arrow in the statue's hand from the front, you will see a solid, complete heart-shaped arrow. But if you look at the statue from behind, the heart-shaped arrow is recessed.
So in addition to the three heart-shaped gems on the stone pier, there should be another one to be embedded in the heart-shaped arrow to make it complete.
Zhou Zhou had always looked at the statue from the front before, and the bow and arrow were located very high, so he usually didn't pay much attention to these things. He never expected that this place was actually a sunken empty shell.
The three people discussed for a long time in front of the sculpture, but there was no trace of the last gem in the clues provided by the task panel.
"I can't think of where the last one is." Zhou Zhou lowered his eyes, feeling a little guilty.
Shirley patted his shoulder and comforted him, "If you weren't here, we would have turned into ghosts long ago. And you found all the clues and the exit before. Now just leave it to us."
Keli: "Yeah, there's still a day and a half left, no rush."
I went through it again, but still found no clues. Several people wondered if the last one was still in the dormitory building, the library, or the woods, but they hadn't discovered it before.
"It would be a waste of time to look for it again together now. It would be better if we each go to one place to look for it. This way it will be faster." Keli suggested at last.
They clearly knew where the exit was, and they were just one step away from success, but they had no idea at all and in the end had no choice but to choose this method.
But it was late at night and they only had one flashlight, so two of them would have to grope their way there in the dark. Once there, their vision would be obstructed, making it difficult for them to move around or see clearly.
Add to that the monsters in the dormitory, the anomalies in the library, and the ghosts that appear in the woods at any time, each of which is troublesome.
So in the end we decided to wait until daybreak before taking action. At least we can see clearly during the day. If the heart-shaped gem is hidden somewhere, it will be easier to find it during the day than at night.
Ever since I entered the game, I have been busy and tense, and I have never had time to relax. You can take a short break while waiting for dawn.
Keli and Shirley sat on a bench by the lake waiting for dawn.
The bench was for two people and could not accommodate him and the large group of ghosts, so he dragged the ghosts around the lake. The ghost floated to this side, and then to that side under Zhou Zhou's dragging, which was quite fun to watch.
Keli leaned back and relaxed on the bench, listening to the terrifying sound that sounded like background music. He felt that he had really grown up and could actually relax in such an environment.
Shirley kept looking back to see what Zhou Zhou was doing. The flashlight was tied to Zhou Zhou's wrist, which could increase the brightness through the ghost, so she could see every move of the other party clearly.
"Zhou Zhou is so interesting." Shirley couldn't help but smile wider as she watched Zhou Zhou having fun like a child pulling a ghost balloon.
"Yeah, he's really awesome." Keli also knew his own limitations, they could get here thanks to Zhou Zhou.
After responding, it took a while for Keli to react. He put down his arm that was originally on the back of the bench, sat up straight, and looked at Shirley vigilantly, "You, what do you mean by this?"
Could it be that she has taken a fancy to that boy?
Shirley looked at her brother with disdain and said, "It's meaningless." Just compliment him, why imagine it?
"Hey, you're not interested in him, are you?"
"Oh, you're such a boring person."
"So what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. Besides, even if I am interested, what would you do? Zhou Zhou is good-looking, intelligent, careful, considerate, and can comfort people. What a good boyfriend candidate."
Keli had no way to refute it, after all, there was nothing wrong with what she said.
Even though he always disliked Shirley and they often quarreled and fought with each other, he still felt uncomfortable when he thought about Zhou Zhou trying to trick his sister away.
After snorting for a long time, he finally retorted, "He doesn't even look like an adult. You're already that old, don't destroy the future of the country."
Shirley: The smile fades.
"You called me old?"
"I didn't say that. I just said he was underage."
"You called me old?!"
"I really didn't say that!"
Zhou Zhou was shaking the ghosts and had already thought about where to put them in the dormitory. He would put two at the head of the bed and on the bed, then two by the window and the door, and the rest in the cabinet so that he could take them out in turn when he went out every day.
I've even started thinking about what names to give these ghosts.
I was a little confused when I heard the quarrel by the lake. Wasn’t everything fine just now? Why are they suddenly arguing?
He walked towards the bench. He wanted to stop the fight. Day was about to dawn and he had to start looking for the gem.
As soon as they walked over and stood still, the color of the sky began to change, and the vision gradually became clearer. The lake surface in front of them, which had been as dark as an abyss, revealed its original appearance under the sunlight.
The turquoise lake was quiet and gentle, exactly the same scenery Zhou Zhou saw every day before.
Nothing has changed here, and Zhou Zhou is still very happy. Everything on campus had changed overnight, and he still felt a little uneasy.
Seeing the familiar scenery at this time, I felt a little more at ease.
The sun shines on the lake, as if a layer of tiny diamonds is sprinkled on the quiet lake surface. It extended from the lake all the way to the several people. Even the two people who were about to fight stopped and looked at the lake in amazement.
Zhou Zhou narrowed his eyes. He still liked the daytime. The warmth of the sun shining on his body gave him a warm feeling.
“Ahhhhh~”
Countless screams suddenly rang in my ears.
Zhou Zhou couldn't help but look up, and found that the ghosts illuminated by the sunlight were emitting bursts of white smoke, and they were melting and shrinking as if they were being burned.
The ghosts that had originally only shouted "I died miserably" now all screamed.
Zhou Zhou ran in panic to a place without sunlight, but this place was too far away from the buildings.
During the game time, the sun rose very quickly, and in the blink of an eye the entire campus was filled with sunlight.
He had nowhere to hide.
He watched helplessly as the ghosts screamed and were burned and shrunken, until finally there was nothing left in his hands.
At the moment when all the ghosts disappeared, something suddenly fell from the air where the ghosts were.
Zhou Zhou was still staring at his hands in a daze. He clenched his palms, but there was nothing but air.
Shirley and Cole who came running over were also very surprised, it turned out that ghosts are afraid of sunlight.
"Look what this is!" Keli bent down and picked up a white heart-shaped gem from the ground.
Shirley quickly leaned over to take a look and found that it was indeed a heart-shaped gem. She was very excited.
"It seems that the last clue will be delivered to your door automatically." Ghosts surrounded them in a large area in the woods. If the players are not afraid or entangle with the ghosts until dawn, they will find that the ghosts will turn into gems.
There might be a quantity requirement, but it doesn’t matter now. They have found the last gem and can pass the level.
"Zhou Zhou, Zhou Zhou?" Shirley shouted excitedly.
Zhou Zhou was still looking at her hands. Shirley called her several times before she looked at her.
"What's wrong?" At this moment, his face was calm and no emotion could be seen.
"Look, we can pass the level." Shirley showed Zhou Zhou the gem. "You knew this a long time ago, so you caught so many ghosts."
"I, don't know, but it's great that I can pass it." Zhou Zhou smiled.
Keli climbed up the sculpture and placed the last gem in the depression of the heart-shaped bow and arrow. As soon as he put it in, the stone pier below began to gradually twist and deform, and finally the stone pier turned into a gray vortex.
[The player has found the exit, please escape from the campus as soon as possible. ]
There was finally movement on the task panel. Shirley and Keli were very excited. They didn't expect to succeed so quickly. They should be the first group of players to pass the level.
Zhou Zhou looked at the two people standing in front of the whirlpool, excitedly discussing how many points they could get.
It’s time to say goodbye, Zhou Zhou thought. I may never see Keli and Shirley again, but I am very happy to be with them.
He is doing well alone, and there will probably be other people coming here in the future.
"Zhou Zhou, let's go. The time it takes to pass the level might affect our points. Let's get out of here quickly." Shirley was about to go in, but when she looked back, she found Zhou Zhou standing behind her with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Zhou Zhou shook his head. He was different from them. He has been here since he became conscious, and he will stay here forever.
Keli was a little anxious. He was about to pass the level, and what was this kid dawdling about? He stretched out a hand and said, "Let's go, let's talk about it after we get out."
Shirley also stretched out her hand, "Yeah, didn't I say before that I would treat you to a meal? Let's go eat when the points are settled and I have money."
Zhou Zhou looked at the two hands stretched out towards him, biting his lips tightly, and suddenly an indescribable impulse surged in his heart.
He took a step forward, stretched out his hands and grabbed the two men.
"good."
