Chapter 19
At this moment, all H University students, including the players, saw the same message sent by the school office.
[School Office] Dear students, in order to jointly build a beautiful campus, implement the "three-pronged" policy, and improve the strength of teaching staff and the happiness index of students, we sincerely invite you to fill out the "Questionnaire" and look forward to your participation!
Everything is normal up to this point. What is abnormal is the following sentences:
To complete the above indicators, please be sure to fill in the following information in the "Other Suggestions" section of the "Questionnaire":
1. The students of H University are all extremely talented. They have the ability to turn dreams into reality. No matter what difficulties they encounter, they will ride the wind and waves and draw strength from courage to fight nightmares.
2. Teachers have the responsibility to help students. If students are in danger, teachers should provide timely assistance. Teachers with outstanding performance should have more advantages when evaluating professional titles, and teachers who do not take action should be fired.
3. Schools should provide students with a safe learning environment. If a student is killed in school, it will be considered the school’s fault, and the principal should bear joint liability and receive the same injuries as the student as punishment.
4. Please remember: All of the above clauses can be true.
5. Don’t trust the principal! Don’t trust the principal! Don’t trust the principal!!]
[Note: This questionnaire is a real-name system. If you do not fill it out as required, you will be held accountable and ten credits will be deducted as a penalty.]
After reading this message.
All students: ""
All players: ""
No, is the school office crazy?
Actually blatantly threatening students with credits in a text message?
And what are these supplementary regulations?
The players were completely confused and had no idea what was going on.
Someone asked Cen Xun in the group, and Cen Xun, who had been silent for a long time, surprisingly replied quickly: "Yes, I asked the school office to add the content. The nightmare world is very dangerous, and these additional regulations will help protect the safety of students."
The group instantly became lively.
I am very proud: [Why can these regulations protect students? I don’t understand.]
Professor Cen: [It’s hard to explain now, but once you enter the nightmare world, you’ll understand.]
If I bloom, flies will come: [Teacher, I have to fill out the questionnaire now. How do I fill in the multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blank questions in the questionnaire? ]
Love is always there, no matter how far we go: [Teacher, I see there is an option to drop out of school. If we choose it, can we go home?]
Professor Cen: [I advise you to be careful when filling this out. I don't know if any of the students who dropped out can return home safely.]
I'm Lao Liu, you're Lao No. 1: [Damn it, Teacher Cen, please stop telling ghost stories, I'm scared!]
Professor Cen: [Except for the option to drop out, you can choose any of the multiple-choice questions. For the fill-in-the-blank questions, I recommend writing a "dream" that is unlikely to cause any unexpected problems.]
This is love: [Teacher, what does "a dream that is not prone to accidents" mean? ]
In the infirmary, Cen Xun sat on the hospital bed, rubbing his brows, and replied: [I know a student whose dream at H University is to "watch another meteor shower with him," and then]
Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side and touched Cen Xun's exposed lower back with scorching heat. Cen Xun's hand trembled, and the message was sent out without being edited.
A series of question marks and exclamation marks popped up in the group, and the players all started brainstorming.
【Teacher Cen, what happened next! 】
【And then she herself turned into a meteor shower? 】
[And she really watched the meteor shower with her friends?]
Cen Xun turned around suddenly and grabbed Zhang San's hand with such force that he almost broke his wrist bone: "What are you doing!?"
Zhang San said innocently, "I saw blood there and thought there was glass stuck in it, so I wanted to check it out."
Cen Xun's eyebrows were cold, and his tone was as sharp as the winter wind: "Did I let you touch it?"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong," Zhang San raised his other hand in a gesture of surrender and softened his tone: "Please let go of my hand, teacher. It hurts."
Cen Xun shook off his hand, temporarily suppressed his anger, and lowered his head to continue typing.
Cen Xun didn't expect that Zhang San beside him not only didn't stop while he was ahead, but also rolled away and came over again.
While he was typing, Zhang San leaned over and whispered in his ear, "But Mr. Cen, isn't there something strange about your body?"
"You tremble when you touch it, how can you be so sensitive?"
Cen Xun stopped typing. He turned his head and looked at Zhang San without any emotion on his face. He didn't get angry immediately.
Zhang San seemed to have suddenly gained ten times the courage of a bear and a leopard. Seeing that he didn't react, he continued to insult him with even more arrogance: "Is it because your husband touched you too many times that you became like this?"
Cen Xun looked at him with an unchanged expression, his eyes filled with unclear emotions.
Zhang San secretly took a breath, pulled up the corner of his mouth, and said more excessively: "What are you looking at? Does Teacher Cen want to be touched again?"
This time, Cen Xun finally responded.
He tilted his head, his black curly hair falling on his shoulders, and suddenly he smiled, not the kind of smile that comes from extreme anger, but an arrogant and sarcastic smile that sees through everything.
Zhang San was spinelessly stunned by the smile. He was distracted for a moment, and before he could recover from the beauty, he heard Cen Xun in front of him speak slowly: "Do you want to provoke me and then take the opportunity to escape?"
Zhang San choked for a moment.
"Unfortunately, I won't give you this chance." Cen Xun stood up and looked down at Zhang San sitting on the hospital bed, his face full of emotion and anger. "Since you are so disobedient, I will discipline you properly."
Zhang San swallowed his saliva and pulled the pillow from the bed to block the way in front of him: "Teacher Cen, let's talk it over nicely."
"Before asking others to do something, think about yourself first." Cen Xun took out a thin iron chain from his suit pants, lowered his eyes to look at Zhang San, and said in a gloomy tone: "Have you spoken nicely to the teacher?"
"Wait uh!"
Zhang San fell on the hospital bed, tightly grasping the thin iron chain around his neck, and watched Cen Xun lock the chain with a click, and then locked the other end of the chain to the foot of the bed.
Cen Xun kicked Zhang San, and the pillow that was blocking Zhang San's waist and abdomen slipped down, revealing the changes under the pillow.
Glancing at that spot, Cen Xun raised the corner of his lips and said half mockingly, "Student Zhang, your hobby is quite unique."
Zhang San adjusted the chain around his neck, barely leaving enough space to breathe. He propped himself up on the bed and sat up, not feeling awkward. "Teacher Cen, do you know why I chose the stage name Zhang San?"
Cen Xun sat on another bed without looking up and said coldly, "Shut up."
Zhang San casually placed his hands on his knees and smiled at Cen Xun, who was lying on the other bed. "Here in our area, Zhang San is a well-known lawless criminal who has committed all sorts of crimes."
Cen Xun: "So?"
"I came to H University to commit some crimes that are not allowed by law." Zhang San tugged at the chain that bound him, his eyes darting over Cen Xun, his smile tinged with an inexplicable danger. "Teacher Cen, you must be careful and don't let me escape."
Cen Xun sent the edited message without commenting: "Really? Then we'll wait and see."
Professor Cen: [Then, a meteor shower really came. At 00:00, H University was destroyed by a massive meteor shower.]
At five o'clock in the afternoon, as the office animal players began to get off work, the discussion in the Nightmare Forum continued to increase.
So far, the most frequently asked question by players is why the group of players who entered today have not come out to post yet.
What's going on inside H University right now? Does anyone know? I just got off work and thought I'd see people sharing strategy guides when I opened the forums, but it's full of people waiting for strategy guides. Where are the people who've logged into the game? None of them have come out yet.
1l (Original Poster): [rt, does anyone know the specific situation? ]
2l: [I don't know! I'm squatting here too, but there's no one around! No way, no way, are you all so low-key? If you have any good stuff, why don't you share it with everyone?]
3l: [Don't tell me, don't tell me, maybe they really found some key clues, but didn't plan to share them with other players, so they just joined forces and kept them all for themselves.]
4l: [Fuck, stop talking, I really regret this. If I had known earlier, I would have taken a day off to play games!]
After the war of words lasted for more than 100 floors, someone brought new information.
125l: [This is terrible! Have you seen other posts? Someone said they can't log into the game and are trying to report it to the official.]
126l: [Is there a bug in "Evil World"? Impossible!]
127l: [Everyone, I suddenly have a very bad guess. If players outside can't log in, will the players inside be unable to log out?]
128l: [I admit this ghost story scared me. Impossible! Absolutely impossible! This is a safety accident, right? "Nightmare" shouldn't make such a mistake.]
129l: [Maybe the internet in that area is just terrible? I'll go see if I can log in to the game!]
About an hour later, the well-informed players returned to the building.
2011: [Everyone, the official just responded! "Nightmare" said this isn't a bug, but rather that the game has reached a critical turning point, and players are about to embark on a new storyline. Therefore, the H instance has been forcibly locked, and players are no longer allowed to log in.]
202l: [What? Is this even possible? What about other players? Does Nightmare World disregard other players' gaming experience?]
203l: [Ahhh, I just have to go to work. What's wrong with me? Why should I be one step behind the rich when it comes to playing games?!]
Players who missed the opening of the new plot were outraged and bombarded the official, who quickly gave a new response.
Dear players, after tonight, the "Lost School" dungeon will launch a new plot. Missing the plot opening will not affect the player experience. Please be patient and wait for the dungeon to be unlocked.
This explanation left the players speechless.
Does this mean that this game copy must be locked today?
Ahhh, I'm so angry. I've never seen anyone directly lock the game and not let other players play!
That whole night, the war of words on the Nightmare Forum never stopped.
On the same night, the Heresy Monitoring Bureau also stayed awake all night.
"The commander hasn't come back yet?"
"Not back yet."
"Didn't we agree when we made the plan not to go deep into H University's strange territory?"
"Who knows?" The man staring at the monitoring screen turned his gaze away and turned to the translucent oval cabin in the floor-to-ceiling window. Inside the cabin, a tall and slender figure loomed. "Maybe he encountered an accident."
At this time, the person who was controlling the computer pushed up his glasses and said calmly, "If the game process cannot be terminated tonight, the remaining 7,000 players will probably be forced to be involved in the game."
There was silence in the monitoring room for a minute.
"I hope there will be a turning point tonight." The man with glasses closed his computer and closed his eyes.
"Otherwise, humanity will once again face doomsday."
Nightmare world.
It is now 17:00 in the evening.
Cen Xun leaned on the railing of the rooftop of Dormitory Building No. 14, raised his wrist to check his watch and confirm the time.
The other end of the chain on Zhang San's neck was held in Cen Xun's hand, acting like a dog leash. Zhang San did not feel humiliated. He leaned his elbows on the railing and looked into the distance leisurely. The sea in the distance was calm and the red sun was slowly sinking below the sea level.
"Teacher Cen, why don't you stay with your other two thousand students and only protect me closely? Isn't this a bit too ambiguous?"
Cen Xun said calmly: "If you think so, there is nothing I can do."
"Zhang San sighed silently: "It seems that you are determined to use them as cannon fodder."
Players are like a group of innocent lambs, harboring gentle and harmless fantasies about this world. Once they are thrown into a dangerous and strange domain, one can imagine what will happen to those lambs.
Cen Xun slightly curled up the corners of his lips, looking gentle and harmless, but the words he spoke were completely cold.
"I don't need disobedient students."
As they watched, the red sun sank into the sea level.
A dangerous night has arrived.
