Chapter 164 Mizuki Private High School (Thirty-six)
"Did you pay attention to the broadcast during the simulation training course?"
Nan Huan asked, but his eyes were still on the green plant.
Bei Xi's memory was so good that Nan Huan only had to mention it briefly and she immediately thought of the content of the broadcast. Then, considering what Nan Huan was focusing on now, she immediately understood the strangeness.
"I was saying that for this mission, the system couldn't have only designed one layer of insurance." Bei Xi leaned against the desk and looked down at Nan Huan. "So it was waiting for us here. There was no obvious prompt, only a brief broadcast prompt, and it was mixed in with the background noise. If you hadn't reminded me, it would have been easy to ignore it."
Nan Huan knew that she said these words on purpose to make him happy. Even if he didn't mention it, she would have discovered it before writing her diary.
But Bei Xi was right, this setting of the task was really unscrupulous to the players.
First of all, the two of them forgot their original identities and were present in this mission. It was not easy for them to remember their original identities and the entire mission.
After all, the task description said that Dora would use a diary to record her life every day, if she still remembered.
She and Beixi were able to struggle and wake up from the identities assigned to them by the system, thanks to the help of the collaborator, but if they really wanted to complete the task of recording life, they also needed an observant eye.
"It seems that the cloudy weather throughout the entire day during today's mission is also intended to confuse us."
Nan Huan belatedly remembered something, "Have you noticed that the two missions we encountered are more or less similar to..."
She tried to find the right word, but couldn't find it.
Bei Xi understood what she wanted to say, "It's all related to time. The first side quest was a time loop, but the time in this quest was completely reversed. I was wondering what was going on with opening a corpse. Now it makes sense."
Nan Huan looked up at Bei Xi. The sky outside the window had already darkened completely. She and Bei Xi had never been to the dormitory in the dungeon, so she wondered if the environment in the mission was much different from the actual one.
But it was too quiet. Just now, because of the needs of the mission, they would meet other NPCs. But when the two of them figured out their identities in the car and remembered the forgotten mission before, after they came to the dormitory, the surroundings seemed to fall into a strange silence.
"The broadcast said that this plant changes its branches and leaves according to weather conditions. The heavier the rain, the more water the leaves have, and the fuller and more extended their shape becomes."
Bei Xi fiddled with the half-arm-long leaf with her fingers twice. "When the body appeared in the morning, I don't remember this plant in the dormitory. It first appeared in the simulation training class. Although the rain was still a bit heavy at that time, it was much lighter than when the body was found in the morning. Because there is no specific reference, strictly speaking, there is no way to prove that the time we see or are experiencing is different from the time actually felt by the leaves."
There was some water mist on the leaves, making them very smooth after being washed, but because of their huge size, they looked a little scary.
"Until the physical education class, the rain outside had obviously slowed down, but the leaves of the potted plants in the gym were bigger than those in the simulated training class. This was very wrong. Then when the fake Uncle Nan came to pick us up, the rain had completely stopped, and the dragon grass in the flower bed had grown a lot taller. These were all reminders."
Bei Xi also looked out the window along with Nan Huan, wondering what he was searching for or exploring in the dark night sky.
"It reminds us that the time we experience is different from the real time felt by the leaves. The rain throughout the day did not get smaller, but larger. The timeline of the diary must be based on the real timeline."
Bei Xi looked out the window for a while, his brows furrowed. He reached out and took the diary in Nan Huan's hand, checking it back and forth several times to confirm that this was a new diary and there was indeed no new content in it.
Nan Huan was somewhat unhappy, and even the expression on his face was a little hard to describe.
"So the corpse was not the beginning, but the end. From Dora's perspective, she was first provoked by Uncle Nan in the car, then by other classmates in physical education class, and finally in the simulated training class, she saw that the other party might really leave her one day in the future, so she finally decided to take action."
Although she knew that the corpse in the mission was fake and was only used to stimulate herself, she felt a chill in her heart when she thought about not waking up and following the plot arranged by the system.
After seeing six figures belonging only to herself in the mirror, she realized that Dora was created based on herself.
Dora's entire day was spent confirming her fears.
Although Nan Huan was reluctant to admit it, she had to face her own heart. What she feared most now was that something bad would happen to Bei Xi in the copy one day.
This is my own fear. The system is deliberately exaggerating it. It just amplifies my own feelings...
Nan Huan was frowning in thought when a pair of big hands appeared on his head, patting him gently twice. "These are just the system's imagination, don't take them seriously."
Bei Xi knew what Nan Huan was thinking at a glance. After saying some comforting words seriously, she withdrew her hand and looked up and down at Nan Huan who was looking up at her. There was a frivolity and debauchery in her eyes that did not belong to her.
"But if there really is such a day, I should be looking forward to it."
“Psst, sst, sst, what nonsense are you talking about.” Nan Huan couldn’t stand her joking like that, so he grabbed her hand and asked her to pat the wooden desk. “There will never be such a day, you are not allowed to say such things again in the future… ok?”
Because of this sentence, Nan Huan's mood was instantly cleared up. However, before she could finish warning Bei Xi, the other party hugged her waist and lifted her up from the chair.
"The scenery outside has changed. Something has come out."
Bei Xi hugged Nan Huan, his whole body was in a state of alert. He leaned over to talk in Nan Huan's ear and stuffed the diary and pen into his hands.
"Let's observe the situation first. If nothing unexpected happens, we can write a diary."
Nan Huan didn't say anything. He stuffed the diary into his arms, held the pen and looked out the window. He understood what Bei Xi meant when he said the scenery had changed.
If the false darkness and dead silence in the time-reversal scene just now were real, then the sudden storm outside now seemed much more real.
At the same time, amid the sound of heavy rain, Nanhuan also caught some other sounds that were about to move.
With a bang.
The window in front and the dormitory door behind were scrapped at the same time.
A sudden downpour of rain and wind hit the dormitory. Before getting wet, Bei Xi had already hugged Nan Huan and retreated to the bathroom door, staring at the two opened places with her deep eyes.
Nan Huan really wanted to pick up the pen right now, but this wave of attacks came a little suddenly. She wasn't sure whether this was a series of reactions caused by the two people breaking the deadlock, or a day belonging to Dora in the script, so she agreed with Bei Xi's opinion and chose to wait and see for the time being.
Suddenly, the sound of uniform footsteps was heard outside the corridor separated by a wall.
If the footsteps were not so orderly and not accompanied by the sounds of laughter and playfulness, it would not be the sound that would be heard in a normal dormitory.
But strictly speaking, this is not a normal dormitory.
The next second, the footsteps all stopped at the dormitory door, revealing a face that Nan Huan had never expected, but was extremely familiar with.
"You've obviously thought of a solution, why don't you do it?"
Bei Wanchao stood at the dormitory door with an angry look on his face, questioning Nan Huan.
Or to be more precise, there are NPCs who have the same face as Bei Xi, and there are more than one of them.
Nan Huan counted them quickly, and found that there were six in total, the same number as his own reflection in the mirror. The face in the front was angry, while the five faces behind him had different expressions: happiness, sadness, anger, surprise and disgust.
The other party's voice seemed to have its own echo. Six people spoke at the same time, questioning while staring at Nan Huan with lifeless eyes.
Suddenly, so many people who looked exactly like Bei Xi appeared. It was hard for Nan Huan to adapt all of a sudden and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
But Bei Xi couldn't stand it. The system created such a thing, allowing these monsters to talk to Nan Huan with their faces.
Without thinking, the air arrow in his hand flew out.
The explosions were rapid and sudden.
Nanhuan didn't even have time to stop it, and could only see the dust and heat stirred up by the high temperature and heavy rain.
Those figures had disappeared after the thick smoke, but the questioning voice in Nan Huan's mind did not disappear. She shook her head uncomfortably.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Bei Xi held Nan Huan's head with some worry and looked at his body. He thought that the explosion just now had affected Nan Huan, or that those monsters with exactly the same faces had secretly done something to Nan Huan.
"The sound..." Nan Huan spoke with difficulty, and it became very difficult to pronounce the words, "The sound is still in my head."
"Be good, I'm here." Bei Xi kissed her forehead lovingly, "Don't listen to those voices, you can write your diary now, and we can leave here after you finish it."
After all, Nan Huan is Dora, and only she can complete this task, otherwise Bei Xi would have snatched the diary and started writing.
After those figures disappeared, the crisis was not resolved, because in addition to those figures, there were many ordinary students standing densely outside the dormitory.
The same thing is that there are six people with the same student face, each with a different expression, and they are all talking. What is different is what they say.
"Why don't you come and accompany us."
"You should come with us."
"Kill the people around you, and you can have her forever."
"Hurry up and do it."
"Do it..."
Unlike the monsters that disappeared after being shot by Beixi's arrow, the air arrows shot by Beixi later did not cause much change to these student-looking people.
The purpose of the system has not been achieved, so now we might as well just come clean and use these students to confront it head-on.
Nan Huan also realized that as the other party approached step by step, the voice in her head became louder and louder, and the encirclement of the two of them became smaller and smaller.
She could only try to focus her remaining attention on the diary.
