After an unknown amount of time, Jian Busian gradually regained consciousness.
His head hurts a little.
It was obvious that he fainted accidentally because he hit his head.
The human body is too fragile...
Jian Bumian opened his eyes with great effort, and all he saw was darkness. He quickly raised his hand and looked at the old-fashioned watch on his wrist.
He remembered that before he fainted, there were still fifteen minutes left before the dormitory curfew.
I just don't know how long he was unconscious.
Jane Bumian rubbed her eyes and tried to see her watch clearly in the dark.
Only three minutes left.
Jian Busian lowered his brows, and his usually calm eyes were wet with a hint of grievance and pity.
The remaining three minutes are definitely not enough for him to eat the target NPC.
He had no choice but to give up this time.
Although Jane Bumian is really hungry now.
The part of the soul that belonged to the evil spirit was flattened by hunger and hunched up pitifully into a ball of grievance.
His lower abdomen also felt flat, with no food in his stomach.
But there was no way! The remaining three minutes were not enough for him to find the target NPC and eat it!
Although Jian Bumian likes to eat, he still has to estimate the speed at which he can devour the evil spirits, otherwise he will be choked to death sooner or later.
What's more, he still has to take the time to get back to the dormitory before half past eleven!
Who told him to walk without looking at the road and step on empty air?
When Jian Busian thought of this, he suddenly remembered that he had missed a step and where he had fallen now?
Jian Busian frowned and raised his eyes. In the dim light, he saw a tattered wooden sign hanging in front of him - [Body Dumping Pool]
The corpse dumping pool...
The scene represented by these three words is a terrifying existence for players in any copy.
This is definitely a dangerous place!
But a circus troupe is not a hospital or a prison, so how could there be a place like a body dumping pool?
Jian Busian's expression did not change. He shifted his gaze and looked around.
The space he was in was very large, and in front of him was a large round pool.
The air was filled with a strong stench of corpses.
Jian Bumian resisted the urge to retch and looked clearly at what was in the pool.
The objects soaked in the black and sticky corpse water in the pool were not corpses. To be precise, they were a mixture of corpses and acrobatic equipment.
The body closest to Jian Bumian was a corpse tied up with steel wires. Its body was almost cut into pieces by the wires, with only bones and tendons barely holding it together, like a ball of wool tangled by a cat.
The body had clearly died from tightrope dancing.
Jian Busian also saw a head floating in the corpse water. It had been corroded to the point that only a gray-yellow skull remained, with only a few pieces of rotten flesh stuck to the skull.
A sword pierced through its mouth and came out of its throat, leaving a thin, long, balloon-like throat.
This unfortunate corpse died from sword swallowing.
But Jian Bushian could not sense any player's presence from them.
They are not players who died because of acrobatic training.
But the indigenous NPC here...
Since it is a corpse NPC, it will definitely have a classic interaction with the players.
Jian Busian, who had once been an NPC, thought seriously.
To verify this idea, he pretended to turn his head away from the pile of corpses behind him.
——Then he suddenly looked back again.
Sure enough, the corpse, which was originally soaking in the corpse water, began to sneak towards Jian Bumian when Jian Bumian turned his head.
The body on the wire that was closest to Jane Bumian had already climbed onto the shore. Due to the violent movement, the body, which was stubbornly tied to the wire, broke into pieces.
But they were still moving, their arms, thighs, and heads, rolling towards Jian Bumian at an extremely fast speed.
His guess turned out to be correct. In the infinite world, stationary objects would inevitably move secretly when the players were not paying attention.
He even felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, thinking that perhaps he had done something similar when he was an NPC.
In the moment when Jian Bumian was deep in thought, the audience in the live broadcast room had gone crazy with anxiety.
[Ahh, why don’t you run away quickly! ! ]
[My wife looks so dumb and soft, I want to pinch her to death oooooooo]
[Why is this little player not getting more panicky the closer he gets to danger? What is he thinking? ]
[Run!!! Otherwise all the corpses in the pool will run after you! ]
ah?
Escape?
Jane Busian slowly recalled this unfamiliar word.
Ever since he became a ghost NPC, this word no longer exists in his dictionary.
He didn't react until he turned back into a human.
Jian Busian currently has no useful props and no excellent physical fitness, so running away is his only option with a hope of survival.
The corpses in the body dumping pool have come back to life one after another, dragging sticky and smelly corpse water as they crawl out of the pool step by step.
There are two minutes left until half past eleven.
Jian Bushian must escape from the corpse dump and rush back to the dormitory before this. Time is very tight. If he is late for one second, he will be directly killed by the rules.
Jian Busian stood up and rubbed his calves which became sore due to coma.
The wide hem of his suit only covered his thighs.
His calves and knees were not covered with any cloth, and the dim light highlighted the curved lines of his calves. His fair skin was rubbed red by the rough floor.
Jian Busian wanted to escape, but suddenly felt a strange sensation on his neck.
This strange feeling of being strangled is slowly turning into a fatal feeling of suffocation.
Oxygen is squeezed out of the lungs bit by bit, and the trachea that allows breathing is slowly becoming twisted, and soon not even a drop of oxygen can enter.
…It was as if countless large hands were tightly gripping Jian Bumian’s neck, trying to strangle him to death.
Jian Bumian froze in his tracks as he tried to escape. His face turned paler and paler, like a kitten with its neck pinched.
…The culprit must be the photo on the back of his neck.
The ghost in the photo wanted to drag Jian Bumian to death completely at the critical moment of life and death.
There is only a little over a minute left.
Jian Busian saw a corpse emerging from the dirty black water.
It has very eye-catching long golden hair, tied into a high ponytail hanging behind its head, with a red bow hairpin pinned to the side of the ponytail, which is very conspicuous.
Unfortunately, only the hair on its head was intact. The rest of its head seemed to have been hit by a heavy object, and was flattened, with brain matter and flesh bursting out.
Jian Busian felt that the corpse was somewhat familiar.
He was in the Hall of Fame and was forced to view the backs of all the acrobats' heads.
In the photo, there is a "person" with long golden high ponytail hair that is exactly the same as the corpse in front of him, and even has an identical bow hairpin.
Obviously, the body of that "person" appeared in front of Jian Bumian.
Jian Busian saw the ghost with a tall ponytail, crawled to him on all fours, stood up in front of him suddenly, and got face to face with him.
Jian Busian could feel the other person's white brains dripping onto his body.
This ghost should taste like rotten tofu pudding.
So disgusting…
Jian Bumian's stomach churned and he took a step back, but for some reason his foot stepped on the hem of his suit jacket and he suddenly fell to the ground!
Falling down while escaping is undoubtedly equivalent to giving away your life!
His knees, which were not wrapped in cloth, were instantly rubbed by the floor, leaving bruises, and a red bump quickly appeared on his forehead.
I was actually injured...
This was the first time Jane Bumian felt pain after becoming a human.
When the high-pony-tailed ghost saw Jane Bumian fall, his broken head let out a strange, shrill laugh. He stretched out his rotten hands and fiercely pulled at the hem of the suit that Jane Bumian was wearing!
At the same time, countless corpses behind Jian Bumian rushed up, like vultures seeing their prey, surrounding the prey and trying to tear it into pieces.
Countless pairs of hands that were rotten, bloated, or had turned into bones reached out to Jane Bumian who was lying on the ground.
Jian Busian was thin and fell to the ground like a light feather. His fair body stood out in the dim light.
He was wrapped in a large suit jacket, and the ugly corpses surrounding him made him look extremely pitiful and weak.
There is a strange contrast of beauty.
As long as the corpses tear open their suit jackets, they can kill Jane Busian mercilessly.
[It's over. Although Mianmian is brave and smart, her body is still too fragile. She fell down and couldn't get up...]
[I don’t dare to look anymore, I close my eyes.]
[Ahhh, I finally found a new player, how come he died just like that?! ]
[I knew it... Alas, physical strength is very important in the infinite world. ]
[Mianmian has such bad luck!! Whose suit jacket is this! How come she stepped on the hem of the jacket and fell down!! I will avenge her when I enter the infinite world!]
[Hoohoo, hoohoo, grab Mimi’s ankle and blow on her knee so it won’t hurt! ]
——Just when the hand of the ghost with high ponytail was about to grab the suit fabric that fell to Jian Bumian’s waist.
As soon as the ghost touched the black cloth, it let out an ear-piercing scream!
Its head exploded instantly, and the white brain and flesh scattered all over the ground like spilled tofu pudding!
Not only it, many ghosts who wanted to touch Jian Bumian, as soon as they touched the suit jacket wrapped in Jian Bumian, all let out hideous screams! They were experiencing inexplicable pain!
One...two...three...
There were body parts everywhere, and the bodies were scattered in horror. Jian Busian slowly came to his senses, and the feeling of suffocation from the back of his neck suddenly disappeared.
There is only one minute left.
Without the corpses and the suffocating restraints, everything became much easier.
Jian Busian rushed out of the corpse dump in a few steps.
The dormitory was just around the corner from the morgue.
Jian Busian increased his running speed and rushed into the dormitory door at the last second before half past eleven!
The players in the dormitory were startled by Jian Bumian's sudden arrival and turned their heads to look at him.
The boy's face turned red due to excessive physical exertion, sweat appeared on his forehead, the corners of his eyes were lightly crimson, and his pair of caramel-colored eyes were wet as if he had just cried.
Obviously this was just a sign of exhaustion, but when it came to Jian Busian... it was like he had been bullied.
The most eye-catching thing is the black suit jacket he is wearing, which looks like it belongs to a man.
There were also many signs of tearing on the coat, which looked very intense.
This player...is he going out on a date?
Jian Busian felt the scorching gazes from other players and felt a little uncomfortable. He stood up and returned to his bed.
He sat on the bed, bent his knees, and slowly took off his suit jacket.
In fact, he could have directly eaten the corpses in the dumping ground and then escaped.
But those corpses looked disgusting.
Jane couldn't sleep and didn't want to eat.
He went out this time to eat better food. If he ate those disgusting corpses, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face? !
Jane Busian thought as he stared at the suit jacket draped over his knees, seeming to be lost in thought.
Although the suit jacket had come into close contact with the corpses, it was not stained with their smell.
The expensive black fabric still had the cool, light scent of cedar.
Jian Busian frowned. He remembered clearly that once those corpse NPCs came into contact with the coat, they avoided it as if they had encountered something extremely terrifying.
The ghost with a tall ponytail was even frightened to the point that his head split open.
...Are they afraid of the owner of this coat?
And at the same time they were frightened, the invisible big hand that was strangling Jane Bumian's neck disappeared in an instant.
To be exact, he hid away in a panic.
Jian Busian was a little curious about what kind of person the owner of this coat was.
But what concerned him more was the tall ponytailed ghost.
He had seen an acrobat NPC in the photo, and he looked exactly like the tall ponytailed ghost.
In other words, the acrobat NPCs in the photo had already died, and their bodies were thrown into the cold body-disposal pool by the acrobatic troupe.
Jian Busian continued thinking along this clue.
Then he chuckled, raised his hand, and gently stroked the photo at the back of his neck, as if he was gently stroking a kitten.
Yes, he discovered an interesting secret.
The audience in the live broadcast room were full of questions.
[Why did Mianmian suddenly smile? ? I thought her smile was sweet, but at the same time, it was a little scary_(:з」∠)_…]
[Did Mian Mian discover some shockingly large breasts? ! Why don’t you say anything! The sun will shine on you if you start talking halfway! ]
[Am I the only one who is curious about who the owner of this coat is? If it finds out that Mian Mian took its coat and put it on, will it bully Mian Mian? ]
[The person above is not alone. I think it must be very powerful. I hope it is not Mianmian’s capture target, otherwise Mianmian will definitely fail…]
*****
Jian Bumian did not tell anyone the secret he had discovered. After taking a quick shower, he lay down on the bed.
There were many players who did not go to bed like Jian Bumian. Instead, they just sat on the bed and couldn't fall asleep at all.
After the lesson of last night, no one knows what will happen tonight.
Some old players came in as groups, and they took this opportunity to get together and discuss this dungeon.
Jane Bumian was awakened by the sound of their chattering discussions.
He squinted his eyes and vaguely saw the old players who were discussing.
Old players have gone through many dungeons and generally have collected a lot of items, so their survival rate is much higher than that of novice players.
One of the old players had a prop that looked like an old flip phone, with a small black and white screen stained with blood and cracks.
This item can detect the operating status of the copy the player is in at any time and can be used three times.
The old player lowered his head and stared at the screen of the old-fashioned mobile phone prop. The dim light made his face appear pale.
His voice was trembling slightly, and it was obvious that he was trying very hard to suppress the fear in his heart.
"It's over. This copy has undergone a huge change."
The other players came over quickly: "What? What happened?! Tell us quickly! This concerns our lives!"
Mutation?
Jian Busian raised his eyebrows, finding it interesting, so he poked out his furry head and listened quietly with his ears pricked up.
The tips of the ears were originally kept warm by the warm quilt, but they were suddenly exposed to the cold air, and the skin on the tips of the ears could not help but turn a faint blush.
His bed was very close to those of the old players.
Even if the old players were whispering, he could still hear them clearly.
The next moment, the player said what kind of changes had occurred in this copy.
Jane Busian heard what the other party said.
The beautiful, slightly drooped caramel-colored eyes flashed a dazzling blue light, faintly shining through the curled eyelashes, like countless stars being chopped into pieces and falling into his eyes.
Ah, I got excited again by accident.
The author has something to say:
I'm crying. It seems like everyone's comments are not very positive QAQ. I want a longer and more enthusiastic comment.
Mianmian's old gong will appear within three chapters!! I wish Mianmian and his old gong a happy marriage soon (deeper meaning)
