Corpse
Da, da…
The narrow corridor was filled with the sound of leather shoes tapping on the floor, neither fast nor slow.
There are teachers patrolling during class time.
The footsteps were far away from Yu Xiaowan. She used the light of the flashlight in the tea room to write down the pattern in her notebook.
She couldn't speak or run, and could only walk at a normal pace. Her muscles were sore, but her physical strength was not easily consumed.
While the patrolling teacher was still far away, Yu Xiaowan quickly moved.
According to her observation, the two tea rooms she passed by were in a mess, with dried blood on the water dispensers; the floor was either piled with books or placed with several sets of tables and chairs, leaving no place to step in the narrow tea rooms.
She felt very uncomfortable and did not like being in the pantry.
At present, she has two white pills in her trouser pocket. As the effect is unknown, she dare not take them and plans to deal with them after she meets up with others.
Walking in the opposite direction of the footsteps, she tried her best to hide in the darkness, and walked slowly and fearfully past the classroom where the sound of lectures was coming from.
She regretted choosing role A because she couldn't run.
"… Pushkin is a romantic poet from the Land of Snow. The poem To the Sea expresses the poet's opposition to tyranny…"
[Sanity -1%]
Yu Xiaowan broke out in a cold sweat.
Your sanity points will be deducted just by listening to the lectures. It's too dangerous!
However, the sound of the lecture inside slowed down a little, and a vicious gaze suddenly pierced through her soul.
Discovered.
Yu Xiaowan gritted her teeth and walked straight ahead, praying that the teacher would not chase her out. She kept walking, and when the voices of the lecturer behind her gradually died down and there were no more footsteps, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The teacher cannot leave the classroom during class. She kept this in mind.
The good times didn’t last long. Light footsteps were heard from the front, and Yu Xiaowan had to turn on the flashlight to illuminate the person coming.
It's him! She beamed with joy and waved excitedly.
The person coming towards him walked quickly along the wall, looking at Yu Xiaowan warily.
She noticed that the other person's expression was not the joy of meeting each other, but rather cold and alert, as if he did not recognize her.
The same thing happened to a stranger she met before. When he saw her, he became alert and raised the flashlight timidly, wanting to attack her, but in the end he didn't do anything and ran away.
Are the people who come in affected cognitively?
The more he thought about it, the more it resembled it. Yu Xiaowan plucked up her courage and stood in front of him.
He tensed his body, ready to strike.
What does it feel like to see a string of moving characters?
Chen Zhanqin is beyond words.
The #FFFF00 in front of him blocked his way. He was even bolder than the #FF0000 and #0000FF he had met before.
He wanted to attack, but the #FFFF00 that was blocking his way suddenly had a notebook with pencils writing and drawing on it. He was amazed and looked at what it wanted to do.
After a while, the inner pages of the notebook were facing him.
He was shocked.
*+/? %#@()～#%? ……
"What are you writing?"
God knows what it says! It's just a bunch of gibberish.
Yu Xiaowan was surprised and started drawing on the page next to it.
Then, Chen Zhanqin saw a picture of a stickman playing football, and next to the football was a bottle that looked like a medicine bottle. He couldn't understand the weird characters written on the bottle, but he understood the meaning of the picture.
"RN99?" Chen Zhanqin tried the secret code.
He saw the “#” in #FFFF00 moving up and down, like a nodding motion.
Then, String drew him a second picture. This time, it was a girl's face with long hair and a single eye patch.
Chen Zhanqin began to get excited. "Are you Yu Xiaowan?"
The “#” moved up and down again.
"Oh my god, how did you turn into a string of characters? If you didn't know how to draw, I really wouldn't be able to recognize you!"
Then, Yu Xiaowan drew a lip and made a big "X" on it.
Chen Zhanqin understood. "It's a bit troublesome that you can't speak. But you can hear me."
She typed one on the inside page, meaning "yes."
"Understood, let's go together and find the others."
Yu Xiaowan nodded, and was glad that she liked watching anime, had copied anime illustrations, and could draw simple sketches.
With Chen Zhanqin by her side, she felt at ease and drew what she knew.
She drew an arrow next to the face of the girl wearing an eyepatch, pointing at a stick figure.
Chen Zhanqin pondered for a while. "You want to say that you saw someone?"
Yu Xiaowan took back the notebook and drew a simple police hat next to the stickman, with the police hat pointing at the stickman.
"Ah, you mean it was me you saw?"
Yu Xiaowan:
"Why are all the living things I see strings?" He suddenly realized. "I chose role C, what about you?"
She didn't know if writing letters would be blocked, so she wrote ".—", which was the "A" in Morse code, which she had just learned.
Chen Zhanqin is indeed a criminal policeman, well-educated, and can understand her Morse code. "Those who choose character A will see the real person, and those who choose character C will see the string. I understand. I picked up a notebook before, and the rules recorded in it are different from mine. Does that mean different characters follow different rules?"
Yu Xiaowan took the initiative to show him her notebook.
The two exchange rules reading.
"That's right. But rather than following different rules, it's more like the rules of the three roles complement each other. Your hint is to collect all three colors of keys, and mine is to turn off the noisy things. I keep hearing a faint strange sound in my head. I suspect that only those who choose role C know where the things to turn off are."
Yu Xiaowan knew it was going to be difficult as soon as she heard it.
The three roles need to cooperate, but they can't communicate with each other. How can they cooperate? If they don't form a team, they can't find a trustworthy partner.
Chen Zhanqin also figured this out and complained that the Domain Lord was insidious.
The two kept moving forward, passing by a classroom where a teacher was giving a lecture and a quiet classroom, passively deducting 1% of their sanity points.
The two of them took a sneak peek at the classroom where the teacher was giving a lecture and were shocked by what they saw.
There were actually more than ten people/strings attending the class.
Yu Xiaowan saw that the people in the class had dull expressions, like puppets, with the textbooks on the desks open.
She felt a little scared.
"I would rather die than attend classes and study." Chen Zhanqin said in a low voice.
Yu Xiaowan:
Not long after, in the room with dim light in front, there was a fierce "ping pong" sound.
Chen Zhanqin's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "The front might be the tea room. Come behind me and we'll go there quietly."
Yu Xiaowan:
The two sneaky men approached the tea room one after the other and stuck half of their heads out to peek.
The scene was simply hilarious.
Chen Zhanqin saw four strings of people running around, knocking over the bar and several sets of tables and chairs.
"Help"
A string of obscure characters appeared before his eyes.
"Die Monster"
Suddenly, a streak of blood spilled on the water dispenser.
He immediately retracted his head.
Yu Xiaowan drew for him with trembling hands.
There are four stick figures in the picture, and a bleeding knife in the middle of them.
He understood.
People who entered the field of ghost stories mistook the other party for a monster and killed each other.
He felt sad.
When the noise in the tea room died down, the two men once again stuck half of their heads out to peek.
They saw four people/strings fall to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the four people/strings turned into three books and a set of tables and chairs under their gaze.
Yu Xiaowan and Chen Zhanqin were extremely shocked by this situation.
Da, da, da…
The corridor echoed with the sound of leather shoes hitting the floor.
Lu Miao's sanity value deducted 5% every ten minutes. The strange "sizzling" sound coming from the office and his brain became clearer and clearer, and when they overlapped, it seemed louder.
At this moment, her sanity value remained at 81%.
After the sound of lingering leather shoes faded away, she and He Ping'an walked out of the office.
She went to the nearest tea room, walked around the textbooks on the ground, wrote down the strange sounds in her mind and in the office, and showed them to He Ping'an.
He frowned and wrote: I can't hear any strange noises.
Lu Miao had anticipated this and wrote quickly: There are three rules in the notebook. People who choose different roles get different but complementary rules, which also means that each role plays a different but complementary role.
He Pingan: And we see each other in different images. What do you see me like?
Deer seedling: #FF0000
He Pingan: This is a red code.
Lu Miao was surprised and wrote: What do you see in me?
He Ping'an choked and wrote hesitantly and tactfully: Electrical monster.
Lu Miao: This is a really fantastic and unconventional weird story. Is that the red key you got?
He Pingan: Yes.
She knew that the color of the key represented the external image or part of the image.
Three roles and three keys must be collected to escape. The method of escape is related to the strange sound and "switch" in her head.
Thinking from another perspective, the strange sound in her head is the location of the "switch".
Lu Miao wrote to him: We can escape if we find someone who chooses role A.
He Ping'an thought for a moment: Besides the red code, what other codes have you encountered?
Deer seedling: #FFFF00
He Pingan: This is a yellow code, which definitely represents role A.
Lu Miao: Got it, we need to find #FFFF00
The two of them drank a glass of boiled water and listened to the sound of leather shoes lingering outside in the distance.
Currently, the physical strength of both people has recovered 100%.
Suddenly, their expressions changed and they held their breath.
There were subtle footsteps coming this way.
If they ran out, they would inevitably meet each other in the corridor.
The corridors are patrolled by something and are not safe.
With this in mind, the two of them stayed in the tea room waiting for the other to come in or pass by.
The sound of brisk footsteps approached, and the two men felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Not long after, He Pingan saw that the monster that came in was made up of clumps of red meat. Each clump of meat was pulsating slightly, with muscular arms growing on both sides of its body and two muscular legs growing underneath it, which was too strange.
However, all Lu Miao saw was the string - #FF0000.
He Pingan didn't want to have a conflict with the other party, so he tried to communicate in a friendly manner. "Hello, if you want to drink some water, we can move aside."
"Okay, thank you." The meat monster actually spoke in the voice of a human man to express his gratitude.
But this voice... is not from the members of the Fluorescent Green Team, nor from Zhang Lian and the others. It seems like I have heard it somewhere before?
