Chapter 160 Mizuki Private High School (Thirty-two)
"Today's biology tip..."
Amid the hum of mechanical electricity and the excited conversations among students, the sound of the ongoing broadcast was not noticeable.
"Weather experts have recently discovered a plant whose leaves can take on different shapes according to weather changes. For example, when living in the wild, you can use the shape of this plant to identify the upcoming weather conditions. Because of this discovery, the plant has been temporarily named Longrun Grass."
"The leaves of Longrun Grass are finger-shaped, and the leaflets are linear and oblong. They can change the size of the leaves at will according to the intensity of the rain. The heavier the rain, the more moisture there is in the air, and the leaves become larger and fuller..."
Dora put on the virtual equipment and blocked out all sounds from the outside world.
Her eyes swept across Bei Wanchao, who was also equipped, and she seemed to want to say something, but in the end she chose to remain silent.
X, on the other hand, watched the two of them greet each other, exchanged a few irrelevant words, and finally watched Dora get on the machine.
"I'm always here, don't try to be brave," she said after a moment of silence. She didn't know what was wrong with her, so she said, "Although this is a simulation training, all the pain is real. If you fall into a coma in the game, even if you leave the game, it will cause a certain degree of damage."
Her core idea obviously shouldn't be placed on Dora, and she has her own goals to achieve, but why does she always have a special feeling when looking at Dora?
X didn't have time to think about it, and had already entered the practice with the advent of the virtual environment.
At the same time, before he could figure out whether this Bei Wanchao was Bei Xi's twelfth, he saw another line of words appear on the white paper.
[Simulation Environment 1: Blood Moon Night]
Twelve's nerves jumped. He had been doubting whether this side quest had anything to do with the young lady and the president. When he saw this line of words, he was certain that the young lady and the president must be involved in the multiplayer collaborative quest.
The guild master had never experienced the Blood Moon Night dungeon, but now the dungeon had incorporated this element into the side quest. The only person connected to it was the eldest lady.
Based on my understanding of my own president, he wishes to stay with the young lady all the time. If he has a choice, he will most likely join the same side quest as him, so it is very likely that the president will be there too.
The only thing that puzzled her was that there were now three characters in total, one Dora, one X, and one Bei Wanchao.
Are all three of them gamers?
There are still NPCs set up by the system.
So which one of them is the eldest daughter and which one is the president? Is Bei Wanchao the president?
Compared to before, it urges Twelve to speculate and complete the development of the story based on the clues given.
Since entering the simulation environment, the frequency of words appearing on the white paper has slowed down a lot.
I don't know if it was to give her time to process her thoughts, or because even though it was just a short sentence, someone was experiencing everything, so the system was developing synchronously, but it was impossible to describe everything.
[You are a guest invited by the owner of the castle. You have seen through the witch's conspiracy and discovered the death rule in the basement. ]
Just a few words quickly advance more than half of the story.
After the eldest lady came out of the first copy, she described the situation inside in detail. Twelve didn't know whether the system chose him to enter this task because he already knew the conditions, or it was just a coincidence.
[But unfortunately, Bei Wanchao triggered the death rule, awakening the maid's long hair, the blood pool descended, and the long hair spread. ]
Lines of words jumped here and suddenly stopped.
Twelve was already familiar with this kind of pause, which meant that the part of the story that had to move forward had already begun to develop, and then needed to be supplemented by himself.
But she didn't believe that her president would trigger the death rule, and she didn't know how to start for a moment.
Dora, who was in the simulated environment, rushed down to the basement when she felt something was wrong.
From the moment she entered this simulated environment, she had a sense of déjà vu. This place gave her an indescribable sense of familiarity. She found some clues almost by instinct.
Just like now, she didn't need to pay special attention to her feet to know how to get to the basement, where the room that triggered the death rule was, and how many turns she had to turn.
With a bang, the wooden door was kicked open.
The blood pool had already dropped to the center of the blood groove. Bei Wanchao was covering the wound on his wrist, but the blood had already flowed along the groove, activating the rule of death.
Dora's eyes have been fixed on the scar on Beixi's wrist since she entered here.
She was hurt.
This is normal. After all, this simulated environment is somewhat dangerous. Dora analyzed rationally in her mind.
But on the other hand, he felt unfamiliar with the current situation and instinctively felt that Bei Wanchao should not be like this.
Under the tug of these two mentalities, Dora also felt that an uncontrollable fear seemed to arise in her heart.
Bei Wanchao will be injured. Today he is in a simulated training environment, and tomorrow he will be in actual combat.
The blood pool had almost completely sunk to the bottom, and the maid's long hair had hooked the other person's ankle. She was struggling to walk towards him, or asking for help from him.
Butora knew clearly that if she didn't show up, it wouldn't be long before her entire body would be sucked dry by the maid's long hair.
Clearly looking at the other person's wound dripping with blood, Dora felt an inexplicable aura in her heart and wanted to save the other person, but for some reason she seemed to be frozen in place and could do nothing.
A mere pool of blood is no match for the Beiwan Dynasty.
Whether it was the blind worship of his own president or the decision to test him in this way, it prompted Twelve to write down this answer on a piece of white paper.
[The content is wrong. This behavior is not in line with the character's ability and triggers a penalty.]
As soon as he finished speaking, that familiar feeling of squeezing came upon Twelve.
After all, she had experienced it twice before, and she was not too surprised by the result, so she did not react too much.
Although it really hurt, her mind was working extremely fast.
What does it mean that the behavior is inconsistent with the character's ability? Either this person is not the real Bei Wanchao, but is just using the other party's name, or it is due to the limitations of the task and her abilities cannot be exerted.
Twelve looked up and waited for a long time, trying to figure out something from the prompts given by the system.
Before the result prompt came, a new 20-second countdown started again.
Dora cut her finger and scattered the maid's long hair.
She scribbled on the paper in a panic while roaring in her heart.
What about hints? Aren't there hints for every wrong answer?
The system's mechanical and calm voice did not take Twelve, who was about to jump, seriously at all. "The previous two reminders were only for the new players entering this mission. They are not the usual way of this mission."
I#*&……@
Twelve cursed out a long list of blocked words.
But when the next prompt sounded from the system, she felt that she had cursed too early.
[Content error, Dora's blood does not have this function, punishment is triggered. ]
Twelve soon realized that his probing would not yield any useful information, because even if Dora was the eldest daughter, she might not be able to use her abilities for some reason.
The real Dora, after being stunned for a few seconds, rushed forward regardless of everything.
After the non-existent barrier in the air was torn apart, Dora could clearly hear Bei Wanchao's voice. She was shouting at her not to get close and to leave the room.
Her hideous and somewhat embarrassed face made Dora forget all the uneasy feelings in her heart.
She used the sword she had pulled out of the knight's hand and tried her best to strike at the maid's long hair, but it was of no use.
When she retracted the sword, she instinctively cut a scar on her finger.
This action seemed to be engraved in her bones, and the tingling pain in her fingers brought Dora back to her senses.
Bei Wanchao didn't have time to react to her action, but X, who had been following her, took action first.
The blood dripped onto the ground and touched the maid's long hair, but there was no reaction.
A look of confusion appeared on Dora's face, which she had not noticed at all, and then she felt her injured hand being wrapped in a warm palm.
You should refuse this. This is not what a friend or a virtual friend should do.
And her girlfriend was standing next to her.
Dora knew psychologically that their behavior was not appropriate, but her physical behavior found some ease in this not-so-intimate activity.
Seeing this, Dora had no choice but to seek help from her virtual friend X.
After enduring the pain of his bones being pinched to the point of deformation once again, Twelve hurriedly wrote down another answer on a piece of white paper.
In fact, the answer is not difficult to guess, after all, there are only three people present.
I can’t save myself and my girlfriend is incapable of doing so, so I can only seek help from X.
It’s just that Twelve had always wanted to find some clues from his wrong answers, but now it seems that this method doesn’t work, so he simply gave up and gave the answer first.
Sure enough, after writing down the answer, the countdown disappeared temporarily and there were no other prompts.
"help me."
Dora found it extremely difficult to say these two words. She couldn't see X, but she could feel his presence.
But this act of asking the other party for help somehow made Dora feel inexplicably guilty, as if she had done something bad in front of her girlfriend.
Her decent girlfriend stood by with blood on her wrist.
X felt an unrelieved anger in her heart, which seemed to be an act of resentment towards Dora for help, but her inner principles told her that the more Dora sought her help, the easier it would be to achieve her goals, and that this was right.
But why does my chest feel so uncomfortable?
Especially when Dora looked towards Bei Wanchao with a worried look.
She said nothing, but just stood there, holding Dora's hand and waving her other hand casually.
The maid's long hair fell back obediently, the blood pool stopped falling, and in less than a few seconds, the rule of death disappeared.
"I can sense your fear and terror."
X heard his own voice, and these words were addressed to Dora.
"What are you afraid of? You know very well that he will leave you one day, maybe in this simulation training, or maybe in the next actual combat..."
Her voice was as alluring as a siren's, as if it came from deep within Dora's heart.
"shut up."
Dora shook off the hand that was being held and interrupted the other person sternly.
It seemed as if the other party had hit a sore spot, or as if he simply didn't want to hear X say such words.
X's words didn't seem to be what he meant at first, but when he saw Dora's firm attitude, he began to rebel.
"What are you afraid of? Don't you know that I know everything about you?"
Her tone was cold, ruthlessly popping the beautiful soap bubble, "How many times have you seen this scene in your dreams? Does Bei Wanchao look good when he's covered in blood?"
"What do you think about every time you wake up from a dream?"
The last sentence was almost uttered by X against Dora's ear. Although his breath was burning, the words he said made Dora's heart feel like it was soaked in ice.
She closed her eyes uncontrollably, and her face turned incredibly pale.
She clearly wanted to rebuke X and refute what he said.
But the moment she closed her eyes, Bei Wanchao's face automatically flashed through her mind.
Bei Wanchao looked so beautiful when he smiled, but Dora had never dreamed of him once. Whenever she closed her eyes, she saw him dying miserably.
Sometimes I was covered in blood, and I would use my red fingertips to pull my sleeves hard and say goodbye to myself.
Sometimes the head and body were separated, the pale facial features moved to another place, but the corners of the mouth were still trying to rise and smile at himself.
Sometimes, she looked fine, but when she was talking to herself, she fell down without any warning and never woke up again.
These dreams, as if they had really happened, flashed through Dora's mind frame by frame, waking her up from nightmares time and time again.
"It's none of your business."
She gritted her teeth and refused to answer X's question, ending the topic in a self-deceiving manner.
[Simulation environment 1 has ended, and simulation environment 2 is loading. ]
Twelve waited for a long time, not knowing what might have happened to the system, but ended up waiting for another line of words.
Is this the end?
Twelve felt a little unsatisfied. It seemed that X's help had worked and helped Dora and Bei Wanchao.
But how to say it?
Twelve was a little confused, and had no idea what the point of this mission was? What on earth was he trying to do?
It's a normal routine. You shouldn't encounter danger, cry out to heaven and earth for help but no one will help. And by the way, use the rules of the game to trip up the players or something. Why does it seem so easy to talk to?
If her mission is to figure out the system's meaning and write a script here.
So what should the eldest lady and the president who worked with her to complete this task do?
[Simulation Environment 2: Perfect New World]
In just a few minutes, Twelve's acceptance improved greatly.
This time, when I saw the familiar copy again, even the one I had experienced myself, I didn’t feel much excitement.
[You sneaked into the Perfect Company and discovered the secret of the androids. You realized that the androids were just infected bodies created by the dean in order to fully evolve.]
[In order to save the people of this world, you have to fight a fierce battle with the infected, and Beiwan Dynasty is being besieged by a group of infected. ]
The scene changed, and the castle in front of them disappeared, replaced by a tall top floor that looked like a villa.
The infected bodies were roaring all around, forcing Dora and her companions to retreat step by step.
Dora looked past the monsters and seemed to see a huge water tank in the distance.
Her eyes flashed for a very short moment when she saw the water tank, as if something slipped through her mind so quickly that Dora did not catch it.
But her attention seemed to be attracted by the water tank. There were so many monsters to deal with in front of her, and she kicked over a monster.
Trying to analyze something from this strange mentality of mine.
But after a few seconds, she frowned and gained nothing, but she was in a bad mood.
Bei Wanchao had been fighting side by side with him from the beginning. The injuries from the previous simulation environment had disappeared in this simulation environment. The injuries were not serious to begin with, so they did not cause any serious impact.
However, there are more and more infected bodies around, and the longer the battle lasts, the more their perfection values will be affected, and their physical condition will become worse and worse.
Dora's breathing stagnated when she caught a glimpse of Bei Wanchao's figure swaying.
He wanted to reach out and pull the person behind him, but as soon as he made a move, a monster from the opposite side attacked him.
The decrease in perfection value will affect people's judgment, followed by reaction speed and other physical skills. It is simply destroying a person from all aspects until he loses his sanity and turns into a monster like these infected bodies.
Dora's eyes involuntarily followed the water tank again. It was a very familiar place and she shouldn't be distracted there.
Sizzle——
A monster's nail pierced Bei Wanchao's shoulder, and the bright red blood stimulated the attacking monster.
Bei Wanchao's wound quickly turned from bloody to black.
Twelve already had experience this time, and had finished writing the words before the countdown was over.
Seeing this, Dora had no choice but to seek help from her virtual friend X.
I was clearly writing the script according to the system's prompts.
Why does she always have the illusion that she is breaking up her own president's CP, especially when this is clearly a story about four people, why is she the only one who doesn't deserve to have a name?
And why does this kind of triangle story, with friends on one side and girlfriends on the other, also have this strange and charming feeling?
Is this a serious script?
Twelve felt confused about his short-lived career as a screenwriter.
If Bei Wanchao is really Bei Wanchao and Dora is the eldest daughter, then isn't this X just someone who comes to poach people?
Moreover, in these two simulation environments, he appears as a savior.
The story of a hero saving a beauty is still relevant after all these years.
Twelve felt guilty that she was aiding and abetting the evil, but this was the correct answer given by the system. Even if she forced herself to give a wrong answer, she would only be punished in the end and then change it to the correct one. It was meaningless.
Could it be that the system created this task just to break up the eldest lady and the president?
What kind of sinister trick is this?
Twelve couldn't control his thoughts, which had already wandered to wherever they wanted. He just vaguely felt that there was a patch of green on his president's head.
