53 Taboo 14 || Lock Picking
He forced himself to calm down. The thing in front of him didn't attack him immediately, which meant there was still a chance of survival. Yan Shuang didn't understand what she meant for a moment. He quickly recalled everything that happened during the day in his mind, making sure he hadn't violated any rules. He lowered his eyes and thought for a while before asking, "Are you okay?"
He wasn't sure if asking this question would kill him, but whether he could survive or not, he didn't want to sit here and do nothing and die in vain.
He has gone from being terrified of death when he first entered the game to being numb to it now, with life and death becoming more and more commonplace. From being completely dependent on Jing Ning at the beginning, he can now face danger alone and calmly find a solution.
Having been through life and death together several times, Yan Shuang even felt that if he died tonight, he could at least leave some message. Jing Ning and Lin Haichen would survive, as well as Ye Jingan. In short, his death would not be in vain.
The rubbing sound of the girl's footsteps continued, getting closer and closer to him, until it stopped against the frosted bed frame.
Suddenly, the girl in front of him leaned over, and her bloody face almost touched his face. Yan Shuang felt a chill rising from his tailbone and crawling up along his spine. The chill in his body made him tremble unconsciously.
The girl's face was so close that Yan Shuang could hardly see it clearly, and the rusty smell of blood rushed into her nose.
Yan Shuang closed her eyes unconsciously, but the expected pain did not come.
Relieved, it looked like she hadn't made a move. Yan Shuang opened her eyes and looked at the girl again. Moonlight streamed through the window, and the girl's outline gradually became clearer in her sight. She hadn't made a move, but just stood there quietly, her lips moving constantly.
Yan Shuang held his breath, his eyes fixed on her blood-red lips.
"Find..." He narrowed his eyes and followed the words aloud unconsciously. The girl's lips suddenly stopped, then slowly opened again: "Open..."
The light outside the corridor flickered, stretching the girl's shadow very long, almost wrapping around his ankles.
Yan Shuang's Adam's apple rolled up and down. "What are you talking about...looking for a picture?"
The corners of the girl's mouth suddenly twisted into a strange smile, and her lips began to move silently again, this time faster.
Yan Shuang stared at her mouth, cold sweat trickling down his forehead. As the light flickered again, he could see the last few words clearly: "Find Zhang Bin to come to the dormitory."
She was still repeating herself, but she stretched out her hand towards Yan Shuang. However, just as she was about to touch Yan Shuang, Yan Shuang hurriedly said loudly: "Okay, I promise you."
The next second, the girl's hand stopped, and then a feeling of dizziness came over her head. Ke Xun Yanshuang tilted her body and fell to the side of the bed.
This was the best sleep Yan Shuang had ever had since entering the game.
It was not until someone woke him up that he opened his eyes in a daze.
"Yan Shuang, what's wrong with you?" Jing Ning asked, standing in front of the bed.
Yan Shuang was lying on the bed, sweating all over. It was already daybreak outside. At least the things from last night had been taken away. He stretched and sat up, saying calmly, "It's okay. Liu Nian came last night."
Ye Jing'an shuddered, "Wha-what the hell?"
"Liu Nian." Yan Shuang pointed, "I'm standing right there."
Ye Jingan was so frightened that he almost broke out into a dance, clutching his chest and wanting to cry, "You can't do this so early in the morning..."
Seeing that he was not seriously injured, Jing Ning continued, "Red Hair is dead."
Red Hair also died in bed, but his legs were missing.
The quilt on Ye Jing's bed was slightly wet by the blood that seeped in, but he was spared any harm. It was the first time in his life that he slept in the same room with a corpse, so he was inevitably scared. When he woke up in the morning, he trembled and mentally prepared himself for a long time before he dared to get out of bed to find Yan Shuang.
But when he saw the blood dripped by Liu Nian on Yan Shuang's bed last night, Ye Jing'an, who was confused, collapsed instantly. He lay on the edge of the bed and started crying loudly, which annoyed Jing Ning. He warned him to sew his mouth shut if he made any noise, and then stood aside with a worried look on his face.
"He must have been killed after I passed out." Yan Shuang looked at the bones exposed below his knees and said, "Do you think Zhang Bin was the one who killed Liu Nian?"
"I think it's most likely," Ye Jing'an said, "Liu Nian became resentful and killed all those who participated in the competition."
"Then why did she let Gao Yan go?" Yan Shuang said.
Ye Jingan said, "Maybe they have a good relationship."
"Is it really because of their good relationship? I don't think so."
"It's certainly not like that. Gao Yan's words alone can't represent what happened at the time." Lin Haichen came in at some point and said, "Now that he's dead, we can only find another way to get the password."
"Wait a minute." Yan Shuang suddenly said, "Look here, don't they look like some numbers?"
Jing Ning's eyes fixed when he heard this, and he looked at the place where Yan Shuang's finger was pointing. It was the wall next to Hongmao's bed, and it was covered with blood. But next to the pillow, there were vaguely four numbers, but these numbers were too blurry, and there was blood all around. He must have written them with his own blood, and it was easy to overlook them if you didn't look carefully.
"3627." Although Ye Jing'an was still a little scared, he had grown accustomed to it after seeing it for so long. "That's the combination to the safe."
"How can you be sure?" Lin Haichen asked, "It's almost become a mess."
"Trust me, look at this 3. It has two openings on the left. Then there's the 6. Although it looks a bit like an 8, its top and bottom are completely different. As for 2 and 3, they're written similarly, minus the bottom. You can all tell which is which about 7," Ye Jing'an explained. "This is the self-improvement of a poor student. I've relied on this method for years of taking exams and never made a mistake."
Lin Haichen: ...6
Yan Shuang: "I can testify to this, he can indeed distinguish."
Jing Ning looked at it for a while and asked, "What's the accuracy rate?"
Ye Jingan was very confident and wanted to say 100%, but he looked up at the others and decided to be more low-key, "90%."
Jing Ning nodded slightly, "Go open the safe first."
Several people went downstairs. Among the girls, Lin Yue died last night. She died the most tragically. Her body was cut into eight pieces.
After Tian Yiyi finished speaking, Yan Shuang thought of the shelves in the archive room.
As the college entrance examination was getting closer, they had no intention of wasting time on the exam, so they just filled in a name at random and left.
It was not yet nine o'clock when the seven of them headed straight to the fifth floor.
Jing Ning squatted in front of the cabinet and took out the safe.
"Well... how about I do it?" Ye Jing'an rubbed his head. This was his last chance. If he got it wrong this time, the safe might stay locked until the end of the game. If the number he saw was wrong, he didn't want to let others bear the consequences.
Yan Shuang patted his shoulder and looked at Jing Ning, "It's okay, we believe you."
Jing Ning lowered his eyelids, pressed the button with his finger and turned it slowly. The lock cylinder made a clicking sound. Everyone held their breath. Success or failure depended on this one move.
"bite--"
The lock is open.
