Chapter 99 Haunted High School (33)
Su Yue collected players in the woods very quickly, so it only took him half an hour to gather the remaining dozen or so people.
Just as the middle school students stood firm, a cold wind blew in the woods and the temperature dropped rapidly. It was visible to the naked eye that some of the raindrops falling from the sky condensed into ice crystals. Rain and snow fell from the sky at the same time, forming a strange and dreamy picture.
The players looked at each other, their faces full of tension. They looked at Su Yue, feeling a little expectant because Su Yue promised to protect them, but they also felt a little skeptical.
Because they had not seen Su Yue's skills like the big sister. Su Yue looked slender and beautiful, and did not look like the type who could fight.
However, Su Yue did not hide this time. Just like the first time, he summoned his dagger.
The glittering dagger caused an exclamation as soon as it condensed in the air. Players who could register their own weapons were very rare in the 4,000-point dungeon, but these players were all veterans and they definitely knew how powerful those who could register their weapons were. So when they saw this sword, their original doubts about Su Yue had disappeared by half.
It was the same as before, the first sword was for defense, and the second sword was for tearing through the evil wind, without much effort.
But when Su Yue took action on this sword himself, he felt a little stunned.
Because he clearly felt that this time the evil wind was stronger than the first time tonight.
It could be because he killed someone during his second descent, or it could be because the Pen Fairy becomes stronger each time it descends.
If it's the latter, it will be a little more difficult.
Su Yue easily repelled the third arrival of the Pen Fairy. When the temperature in the woods slowly rose, some people started clapping, no one knew who took the lead.
Later, someone came to compliment Su Yue, wanting to get closer to him.
Su Yue has encountered many people who were hostile to him and wanted to kill him in the survival game, but he has also met many people who like him and want to be close to him. After all, he is so powerful and handsome, and there are many people, both men and women, who want to be close to him.
Usually, Suyue would smile and put her arm around Cangzhi and say, "This is my boyfriend."
His good looks already give him the aura of a flower from the high mountains, and with such a rejection, most people would tactfully back off.
This time, he didn't even need Su Yue's embrace. Cang Zhi very consciously stood beside Su Yue. When Su Yue was about to sit down, he came to help Su Yue brush off the snowflakes on the big rock where she was going to sit, and said considerately: "Be careful of the cold."
The words "I'm your boyfriend" are just missing from her face.
When a competitor like Cang Zhi goes to that station, most people automatically give up. The key point is that Cang Zhi has no psychological pressure even if he gets angry at others. He doesn't seem to care what anyone other than Su Yue thinks of him.
Knowing that Su Yue didn't want to be disturbed by too many people, he kept acting fiercely, staring at anyone who came close to him with a serious look, as if to say, "I'm a jealous person."
Naturally, a quiet space was created for Su Yue.
While they continued to wait, some people simply didn't want to even bother asking for help, but the big sister still suggested that they ask for help even if it was just to get by. So everyone continued to perfunctorily turn the pens in their hands, and at first glance it looked like a group of jade rabbits pounding medicine.
Half an hour later, the Pen Fairy attacked again.
This time the Pen Fairy became a little stronger, but it was still not a problem. Su Yue easily solved it with two swords.
Time passed half an hour at a time. Every half an hour, the temperature would drop. The rain that had been falling for a long time turned into snow. A dark evil wind came, and Su Yue, just like before, cut off the evil wind with a sword.
As the second half of the night slowly approached, the sky became pitch black as if it were painted with ink. Apart from the four lights on the wooden tower, there was no light at all. Those lights were very far away. The players sat in a small circle. They could basically only see the people in the circle. Anything further away was lost in the darkness and they could not see anything.
The evil wind blew again, and the Pen Fairy descended again, its strength still obviously enhanced. Is it because there are only two or three hours left before the sun comes out, but everyone is still alive, so is it anxious?
Su Yue had no answer. All he could do was silently cut off the evil wind, first with two swords, then with three and then four swords.
But overall it's not difficult.
The players had gathered together, a rare occasion, and some were already discussing their nightmare. Last night, they'd first seen the president, under his control, enter the dormitory to kill someone, and then the dream shifted to a forest bathed in sunlight.
Each of them clearly saw a man walking out of the woods in the pale sunlight, and they all felt extreme despair and fatigue in their dreams.
That's why everyone's faces turned so grim when they received the text message saying that tonight's club event would be held in the woods. Their previous nightmares had all shown them the tragic plight of those who had died that day, which was considered precognitive. If this vision was of their own future, then it would be meaningless.
"Now it seems that this dream is messing with our mentality," someone said.
"That's right. We could have united and gone out together, but once we had that dream, the first thing we thought of when encountering something was to kill others."
Everyone was discussing this and the atmosphere seemed quite cheerful.
The sky slowly shifted from inky black to grayish white. Soon, the sun would rise, and this long night would be over. Tomorrow, Su Yue would attend Professor Hu's lecture. He believed he would gain information there, and by then, he would be able to make a breakthrough in his tangled game progress.
Everything looks great.
But before that, the temperature dropped, this time even more chilly than before. Su Yue felt a bone ache even when he moved his fingers. He could almost feel the materialized anger of the Pen Fairy. Four lights were still on in the wooden tower, but the long night was about to end. This was clearly not an ending the Pen Fairy could accept.
This should be the strongest wave.
When the evil wind arose, Su Yue already had his dagger in his hand, and Cang Zhi got a shovel from someone and prepared for battle.
Cang Zhi’s best weapon is actually a broadsword. Like the Lord God, this shovel is the weapon he can find that best suits his style.
Su Yue caught a glimpse of Cang Zhi holding a shovel in both hands in a combat-ready posture and found it a bit funny and a bit pitiful. He decided to register a handy weapon for the doll after coming out of the dungeon this time.
Although he has no points and the puppets are not considered players, if he talks to the god in charge of this matter, he should be given this opportunity.
Other players also spontaneously began to defend. They were able to reach the level of 4,000 points not by doing nothing. Even without Su Yue, they would try their best to survive.
A vicious wind rose up and rushed over with a roar.
The moment Su Yue swung his sword, he felt the wind was much stronger than before. The wind seemed to change to cope with his movements, and this time the wind was so thick that it almost made Su Yue's dagger slip out of his hand.
However, Su Yue and his dagger were old comrades. He was as familiar with the sword as he was with Cang Zhi. He easily regained control of the sword and fought against the wind.
The evil wind howled furiously, and within the vortex it stirred up seemed to reveal a distorted human face. It was perhaps the Pen Fairy, but it was impossible to tell what it looked like. Actually, it wasn't a big deal for Su Yue; it could be resolved in about ten rounds, not to mention that Cang Zhi was helping him from the side.
But Su Yue suddenly felt something was wrong. He realized that thick fog had spread all around him. There had been strong winds and sleet before, but no fog. When he wanted to check the situation, Cang Zhi had already taken a step forward and issued a tacit warning: "Be careful, players."
Su Yue was stunned and waved away the attacking wind. When he saw the group of players gathered together, he was shocked.
The whites of the eyes of those players had turned blood red at some point, and they were staggering to their feet and walking towards Su Yue like an army of zombies.
Far away in the depths of the woods, Su Yue could still see a pair of the darkest and most terrifying blood-red eyes.
It was obvious that these players were controlled by those blood-red eyes.
.
Su Yue cursed inwardly, realizing that he had been tricked.
He had previously deduced that the boss in this copy was good at "manipulation". Even if the red eyes in the woods were not the Pen Fairy, they must be related to the Pen Fairy. Moreover, he had seen the illusion created by the red eyes, so why didn't he think about guarding against "manipulation"?
It is easy to solve, but if he wants to avoid hurting the players, Su Yue may have to summon the longsword mode of the sword "Judgement".
If he did that, he might overuse his divine power and get kicked out of the game. He had to strike a balance, but there was nothing he could do about it now.
Su Yue slashed the evil wind with another sword, and the evil wind let out a wailing sound. The short sword in his hand gradually stretched out, with a dazzling brilliance, and the earrings made a sharp buzzing sound that only he could hear, accompanied by a stinging pain in his earlobe.
I heard Cang Zhi say, "Don't do it, let me do it."
"Come on, hammer! You can't beat me." Su Yue said, raising the sword in his hand. The sword's edge had reached its maximum length, and dazzling light burst out from the blade. Although he was caught in the wind and could not see the sword light from the outside, but after this sword was chopped out, his only hope was that he would not be kicked out of the game for using too much force.
Just as Su Yue raised his sword, he heard the sound of a bowstring being stretched, followed by the sound of an arrow breaking through the air. The moment Su Yue realized that things had taken a turn for the better and put away his sword, the thick fog had dissipated. Heifeng was hit in the vitals by Su Yue's last sword, and he screamed and turned into smoke and disappeared.
The sky revealed the grayish-white color of the rising sun. Under the morning light, the blood color in the eyes of those players gradually faded. They seemed to have lost all their strength and fell to the ground staggeringly.
Su Yue looked into the distance and saw the pair of blood-red eyes, but now those eyes were lifeless.
There was an arrow stuck in the middle of his eyes.
Looking back, the middle school student was standing behind Su Yue and Cang Zhi, with the bow in his hand fully drawn.
It was obvious that it was he who broke the illusion of the blood-red eyes with an arrow just now.
When Su Yue looked at him, he suddenly raised his chin proudly and said, "See, I'm pretty good too."
Su Yue: "..."
He gave the middle school student a thumbs-up.
——
The long night of praying for the immortals ended. The sun rose, and the school woods returned to peace. The players, awakened from their controlled states, had no idea what had happened, but it didn't matter. The middle school students had already taken the initiative to run over and educate them.
The president finally left all four lights on and came down from the wooden tower with a sullen expression, looking displeased. He coldly said, "See you at the next event," and stormed off, leaving a group of people surrounding Su Yue, offering to treat him to breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Of course Su Yue rejected them all. He quickly left the woods and returned to the dormitory. Wei Wan was still in a coma, so Su Yue didn't pay much attention to him. He took off the ring in his hand.
.
From last night until now, he had provoked the earring too many times. It was obvious that Supervisor Z must have sent a lot of messages. Although Su Yue had previously agreed with the Lord God Cang Zhi that as long as he did not ask for help, no matter what happened, they would not intervene in the game world, but Su Yue still had to explain to Cang Zhi after calling the police so many times in a row.
"Do you want to enter the system?" Cang Zhi asked.
"Yeah. I hope that troublemaker won't cause me too much trouble." Su Yue sighed.
"He doesn't dare." Cang Zhi said.
Su Yue was used to the puppet Cang Zhi's inexplicable hostility towards the Lord God. He smiled and said, "But he may not be here yet. He said before that he may still have urgent matters in this dungeon and will ask his subordinates to help supervise. I don't know who will contact me."
As he spoke, Su Yue twisted the ring on his hand and turned on the electronic screen that communicated with the gods. Sure enough, there was an unread message. Su Yue clicked it:
-[Supervisor Z: Hello, respected Lord God, the supervisor said you might need some help, so he asked me to assist you blabla...]
Su Yue: "..."
No need to guess who it is.
The face of the timid little god appeared in front of him almost instantly following this tone.
"He's really not here." Su Yue muttered, "How heartless."
Cang Zhi's face was full of questions. He couldn't see Su Yue's contact screen. Su Yue was talking to Xiao Shen, so he ignored him.
Su Yue was asking the little god about his violation of the measurement value. Simply put, it was about the extent of his punishment after returning. If it was better, he could just file a report and it would be over. If it was worse, he would be asked to write a self-criticism. In the worst case, he would face divine punishment, which would be very painful for the gods.
Xiaoshen's response was also very enthusiastic.
Supervisor Z: Don't worry, Lord God. I will definitely try my best to reduce your punishment. However, the current data is a little abnormal.
-【Suyue: What's abnormal?】
Supervisor Z: Judging from the amount of violation, the amount of divine power you used was not very large. However, the divine power fluctuations received by the machine were different from the amount of violation sent here.
-【Supervisor Z: The actual value is about twice the value displayed on your account.】
Su Yue was stunned.
-【Suyue: What does it mean?】
