Chapter 207 Mizuki Private High School (Seventy-nine)
Bei Xi also knew that Twelve was very sensitive. Although he still felt sad for Nan Huan's injury, he didn't look too serious. When he approached Twelve, he tapped him on the head and said, "If you do it again, you'll be whipped."
She used a teasing tone to dispel Twelve's worries, knowing that the more cautious she was with the other party at this time, the more alienated the other party would feel, so she did not show mercy this time.
Twelve lowered her head. The beating didn't really hurt, but her tears flowed uncontrollably. She raised her head and promised aggrievedly, "If it happens again, I will directly take the blame and let the big and small ones beat me."
She sniffed and said coquettishly, "President, you're using too big a size, aren't you?"
Everyone was caught off guard by sudden incidents one after another, and now after hearing what Twelve said, they relaxed a little, a smile appeared on their faces, breaking the solemn atmosphere.
Chaka was also worried about the eldest lady's condition, but she needed to pay attention to controlling Mocha Meng to prevent him from hurting other people, so she could only stand in the distance and observe Nanhuan's condition from time to time. Seeing that she was squatting and talking to Twelve, she knew that the problem should not be serious.
At the same time, she found that Mocha Meng's manic state seemed to be slowly weakening, until it reached a critical point, and the other party's unfocused eyes suddenly returned to normal.
A few minutes later, Mocha Meng and Twelve were surrounded in the center like prisoners being interrogated.
"You two, tell me, what's going on?"
Bei Xi knocked on the table in the lounge area, signaling the two people to report everything in detail.
In order to hold the dance, the auditorium is fully equipped with various ancillary facilities. In addition to the rest area, there is also a buffet area where simple food is provided on a self-sufficient basis. Given this state, it is clear that the dance will last quite a while.
Two players with good abilities had problems right under their noses. Bei Xi immediately gathered everyone, including Cha Ka, and they all temporarily stayed in the rest area, deciding to figure out the situation first.
"President, I think there's something wrong with the music here."
Twelve was the first to be hit. In fact, among the four people in their guild, in terms of combat experience, the number of dungeons they had entered, and attack capabilities, except for the guild leader, she could be ranked second.
So when Twelve came to his senses, he felt indignant that he had not been alert and had fallen into the trap.
She was absolutely sure that she had not come into contact with anyone at the dance just now, whether it was a masked monster, old classmates, or their so-called parents, so her situation was fundamentally different from Mocha Meng's.
Looking back now, she finally realized that something was wrong with the dance music.
After all, just a moment ago, she suddenly felt the drumbeats, as if they were echoing her heartbeat, and then the world in her eyes changed.
“When I was listening to the music, I suddenly went back to the past.”
Twelve glanced at Bei Xi and Liu Shen, as if he would need a little courage to say the next words. It was an instinct to look at the two people he trusted most.
Liushen naturally noticed Twelve's pause. At the same time, because of the other party's attack just now, he was mentally prepared for what she was about to say. When Twelve looked over, he had already held her hands, telling her in this way that he was there.
Twelve pulled the corner of his mouth at her, indicating that he was fine. Although the smile was a little forced, she decided to face it calmly, "I went back to the past, turned into a child's body, and experienced the thing I feared the most."
Although she didn't say it explicitly, in this situation, the people who didn't know the inside story didn't need to think too much, as they all knew that what Twelve feared most would not be a good thing.
"I'm not sure if it was my own emotions that were affected by past experiences, or if the music amplified the effect to a certain extent. Anyway, the brief return to the past increased my anger. If the young lady hadn't stopped me just now, I would have definitely killed her."
As she spoke, she looked awkwardly at the couple not far away.
Just now, after Twelve was injured, although the couple was attacked, I don’t know whether they believed Nan Huan’s words or they instinctively wanted to protect their child, they rushed to Twelve’s side at the first time.
But because there were many people with their faces on the dance floor, even though they showed concerns that were different from ordinary people, Liu Shen was still worried about letting them come into contact with Twelve. After all, there was the precedent of Mocha Meng. So she used her strong social communication skills to temporarily appease the two of them and asked them to wait not far away.
Nan Huan noticed her look and touched the back of her head with his hand, as if he knew what she was thinking. "Don't worry, after we finish talking about business, I'll take you over to chat with them."
"Although there is no direct evidence, I think that the people you chose under the trend's rage just now should not be monsters. After all, the system or this task is to induce you to make mistakes. If they are monsters, it doesn't make sense. However, for the sake of caution, you can only communicate verbally and try not to have physical contact."
Twelve didn't expect that even at this time, Nan Huan could still notice her emotions and immediately hugged her arms, "Miss, you are so kind..."
But before she could finish her coquettish behavior, Bei Xi pulled Nan Huan's arm out of her arms without leaving a trace, "Talk nicely and continue."
Humph, don't think she doesn't know because she is young. The president just can't stand me being so close to the eldest lady, so he deliberately finds other excuses.
But she dared not speak out, "Then I lost my mind, and only recovered after you kicked me. There was nothing else. There was no monster, and there was nothing wrong with my body. My health points are all normal now."
Twelve never wastes time on business. After regaining consciousness, she has already paid attention to her data in all aspects.
"It seems that this should be the reason why the system reminds us not to indulge. Although it is not certain whether the effect of music on players is random or has some triggering conditions, this level of harm is not great."
Nan Huan pointed at Twelve and said, "It should be that the pain will make people regain their sanity, but as time goes by, or the cumulative effect of the music, whether it will gradually increase, is still uncertain now, and..."
Nan Huan said this and took out a pair of earplugs to show everyone, "I just tried it. All the props in the mall that block music don't seem to work on dance music. I think it may be because this main quest is related to dance music, so the system has restricted it. In other words, the influence of music on us cannot be eliminated by props."
The music in the rest area was not that loud, but it was still very clear. When everyone heard Nan Huan's words, they tried their best to avoid listening to the music seriously in their own area to avoid a situation like Twelve's.
Although it seems that there is no impact now, I am not sure about the situation in the future. Besides, if I get infected, the people around me will be the ones who suffer.
The triggering problem has not been solved yet, and they are not sure what the mystery of this music is, so they can only ask everyone to be more cautious.
Then, everyone's attention shifted to Mocha Meng. After all, her condition was much more serious than Twelve's. Especially in such a short while, the purple-black mark on her arm had moved another inch upwards.
"The system defaults to that as long as you come into contact with a monster, it will be considered as choosing the wrong dance partner, and a random penalty will be triggered. I went into a five-minute manic mode and completely lost my mind. All I could think about was killing. If it weren't for President I and President Chaka, I'm afraid I would have also triggered the hidden death rule..."
Mocha Meng smiled bitterly at this point, "I also think there's something wrong with the music, because even when I encountered a player wearing the Barbie President Mask, I shouldn't have been so unguarded. At that time, I also felt that the music seemed to echo my heartbeat, and I was distracted for a moment. The other party took advantage of this opportunity and caught me."
"I should have been parasitized now. My health is gradually decreasing. All my vital signs and changes are the same as Yang Yina's before, but the speed is several times faster than hers."
Mocha Meng tried to make his voice sound a little more stern. "I don't know when I will completely lose my mind. I think it's not a good thing for me to get too close to everyone. It's just like in the triggering system task. I can turn into a monster at any time. I am now like a time bomb."
Mocha Meng's condition was obviously not as serious as she said. Nan Huan saw that apart from her ugly complexion and the decrease in health points, which led to a decrease in physical strength, she was still very clear-headed. He understood that she just didn't want to drag down the team.
"Things are not as bad as you think," Nan Huan consoled him. "Even judging from Yang Yina's condition, she managed to hold on until the last day before she had to temporarily give up control of her body. Judging from the ratio of your health points, you are far from reaching that level. Don't worry, we will monitor your health points at any time and observe your condition."
"So now it seems that the main mission has set up two obstacles for us. One is to use music to temporarily lower our vigilance, allowing the monsters to take advantage of the opportunity and successfully let the monsters parasitize us. Our health will gradually decrease, and then we will lose our minds. If we can't find ten old classmates as dance partners as soon as possible, we will lose control first. I think this main mission will be considered a failure. Not only will we not be able to return to the rest area, but the monsters will also use our bodies. After the dance, they will leave the campus with their mutant or normal parents and bring the monsters to this world."
"This is the worst possible situation and what we are trying to avoid."
Nan Huan saw that everyone looked unhappy and realized that her tone was a little too serious, so she hurriedly said something to comfort them.
"Another obstacle is using music to briefly remind us of something that triggers our emotions. Because of the characteristics of this instance, I guess this happens mostly between our parents or elders and us. Everyone should be aware of this..."
Before Nan Huan finished speaking, he felt that the crowd in the dance floor seemed to be getting a little agitated.
When I turned around again, Beixi and Chaka both came over with serious faces, "There's something wrong with the music..."
