30 doors are key
◎Suwen Guild welcomes you to join◎
The incident happened too suddenly. The other roommates heard the noise coming from behind them and turned around suddenly, and happened to see Liu Ziman falling from the building.
"Ah!!!" Lin Yan could no longer control herself and screamed in shock. Her sharp voice cut through the silence. Qi Qiuxue was brought back to her senses by her scream and leaned over to look at the crack in the door.
It was gone. The upside-down thing outside, who knew whether it was a human or a ghost, disappeared. The corridor returned to silence. Only the green sign of the escape passage was slowly flashing, emitting a strange light.
It seems like everything is just an absurd dream.
But Qi Qiuxue knew that it was not a dream. The development of the situation has far exceeded their imagination. She began to re-examine the game of Pen Fairy. Until this moment, she gradually believed that perhaps there really were some supernatural things in this copy.
"Axue." Li Yiqing got out of bed and walked to her side, holding her hand tightly.
Qi Qiuxue saw that she was shaking all over, obviously frightened by the scene just now. She wanted to say something to comfort her: "You..."
But before she could finish, Li Yiqing interrupted her, and in a trembling voice, she comforted Qi Qiuxue: "Axue, don't be afraid."
"Do you want to go to the window?" As if he had read Qi Qiuxue's mind, Li Yiqing offered, "I'll go with you."
Her fingertips were still trembling and her palms were covered in cold sweat.
Qi Qiuxue looked at her profile in the moonlight. Li Yiqing bit his lips tightly, his face was pale, but his eyes were firm, as if he was determined to protect her.
Somehow, Qi Qiuxue recalled the previous copy, when Li Yiqing had bravely protected her like tonight, even though she was not a very strong person.
Qi Qiuxue accepted her kindness: "Thank you, Aqing."
Li Yiqing shook his head and said seriously, "It doesn't matter."
"Let's go." After saying that, Qi Qiuxue took a step forward, walked to the window accompanied by Li Yiqing, and looked down.
She saw Liu Ziman's body. The person who was alive not long ago was lying on the ground in an extremely strange and hideous posture. Blood and white brain matter flowed out of her body and spread endlessly on the cold ground.
There was still a grim smile on her face, her eyes were not closed, and her gaze happened to be fixed on the window of dormitory 404, as if she was monitoring or cursing. Such a scene made people's hair stand on end. Li Yiqing tried hard not to speak, but his breathing became heavier and his heart was pounding.
"What's going on?" I heard the other roommates' crying voices from behind me, "How's Manman?"
"Dead." Qi Qiuxue gave her own judgment, "He can't be deader."
Lin Yan fainted upon hearing the sound.
Qi Qiuxue had no time to care about her. When Liu Ziman fell from the building, there was a loud noise, which attracted many people in the dormitory to look down. Qi Qiuxue heard the discussions coming from all directions, and she was frightened, panicked and nervous.
"What happened?" Qi Qiuxue also heard Su Wen's voice. At this moment, she was also observing the situation below. "Why did Liu Ziman jump off the building? Who pushed her?"
"No one pushed her." Qi Qiuxue quickly replied, "She jumped on her own."
"Did he jump on his own?" Su Wen frowned and whispered softly, "If that's the case, I'm afraid some of our previous opinions will be overturned. This dungeon is not as simple as the NPC playing tricks."
"After all, no matter how much you play tricks on others, there's no need to lose your life."
"Yeah." Qi Qiuxue nodded in agreement. She remembered the strange thing that appeared outside the door before. "Did you hear any sound just now?"
"I heard it." Su Wen knew what she was talking about. "What the hell is that?"
"I don't know." Qi Qiuxue shook her head. The loud noise of Liu Ziman falling from the building not only woke up the students, but also woke up other teachers who stayed overnight in the school. For a while, the school increased the number of people checking the dormitories, and more than a dozen flashlights were waving wildly outside the corridor.
"Go to bed quickly. Don't look around or talk nonsense. Leave everything to the school!" Qi Qiuxue heard the scolding coming from outside and realized that she couldn't linger by the window any longer. "Go back to bed first."
"Okay." Su Wen nodded and quickly looked away.
Qi Qiuxue and Li Yiqing looked at each other and went back to bed. It had been a terrible night.
Before I knew it, it was daybreak.
Loud music suddenly sounded, urging the students to get up quickly. The first thing Qi Qiuxue did after getting up was to stand in front of the window and look down. Liu Ziman's body was gone, and the blood and brain matter on the ground were gone. Everything returned to normal. The school handled it very quickly.
What happened last night left different degrees of psychological trauma on everyone in the dormitory. Among them, Lin Yan was the most deeply affected. That night, when she and Liu Ziman were performing a ritual, they successfully summoned the Pen Fairy, but ultimately failed to send it away. This brought disaster upon themselves, and Liu Ziman even lost her life because of it.
She was afraid that she would be the next one to get into trouble. She had lost her usual energetic and confident demeanor and followed her roommates tremblingly. She even had to go to the bathroom with someone else.
The few of them quickly finished their morning wash and soon arrived at the classroom after eating. Su Wen, Li Mengyu and others arrived early today, probably because their appetites were affected by what happened last night, so they didn't even eat breakfast.
Noticing Qi Qiuxue entering the room, Su Wen immediately said, "Something happened again."
Qi Qiuxue opened her mouth to ask the reason: "What's wrong?"
Su Wen said concisely: "Except for us players and the main NPCs, the other students have lost their memories. They don't remember what happened last night."
Qi Qiuxue frowned: "What?"
Su Wen: "In other words, this instance intentionally erased the memories of most NPCs. Not only do they not remember Liu Ziman's death, they can't even remember who she was."
Li Mengyu then continued, "Zhao Xiangning and I went to the office to ask the teachers, and they didn't remember ever teaching Liu Ziman. This is really wrong. Even if the school wanted to deliberately conceal this jumping incident and deliberately put pressure on teachers and students to tell everyone not to reveal the secret, it shouldn't be like this. We can still tell the difference between lying and amnesia."
Li Mengyu was very puzzled: "Why is this happening?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.
After a long while, Li Yiqing suddenly asked out of nowhere, "Is it related to the school gate?"
Su Wen didn't understand what she meant, and neither did anyone else: "What?"
Only Qi Qiuxue was enlightened by the words about the school gate. She quickly realized what was going on: "If a student fell from a building in the real world, what would the school do?"
"What should we do?" Li Mengyu paused. "Call the police, calm down other witnesses, and notify the parents of the student who fell from the building to claim the body."
"Yes." Qi Qiuxue followed up, "If that's the case, the closed school gate will be opened briefly, allowing people outside to come in. Correspondingly, those inside can also find an opportunity to leave."
"But now the dungeon has directly erased the existence of Liu Ziman. Perhaps this is to cut off the possibility of the school gate opening, so that players cannot use this opportunity to go out."
Su Wen understood what she meant: "In other words, successfully opening the school gate may be the key to our survival."
Qi Qiuxue nodded: "Yeah."
"However, whether this is actually the case still needs further verification." The morning reading bell was about to ring, and Qi Qiuxue signaled the players to return to their seats as soon as possible and talk about it after class if there was anything.
"How do you want to verify it?" Su Wen's voice sounded from behind. "Tell me, I can help you cover up and protect you."
Qi Qiuxue: "How do you protect me?"
Su asked, "With my weapon."
arms?
Qi Qiuxue: "Did you get a weapon in the last dungeon?"
Su Wen said calmly, "Yes, you don't have it?"
Qi Qiuxue: “…”
"What is it?" She skipped the previous question and asked a new one.
"Sword." Su Wen said truthfully, "I didn't have a chance to try it before, so this dungeon is a good place to try it out. So if you have any ideas, you can try them out. I will protect you."
There's no such thing as a quick buck without a profit. Qi Qiuxue didn't believe a player she'd only known for a few days would be so kind: "Why? We don't seem to be that familiar with each other."
"I just think you are smart and calm. It's a pity that you died." Su Wen glanced at the podium. After Liu Ziman's death, the person who originally led the reading was replaced by other students.
Qi Qiuxue didn't believe it: "Just because of this?"
Su Wen paused for a few seconds. "Of course not only that. In fact, the main reason is to win you over. You may have heard that in the real world, many players who participate in the game have formed guilds. It is much safer to gather together than to fight alone. It is also relatively convenient to share information. Overall, there are many benefits."
Qi Qiuxue understood her intention: "You want me to join your guild?"
Su Wen nodded: "Yes, but our guild has just been established, so there are relatively few people. But don't worry, everything will be on track and will get better slowly."
Qi Qiuxue: "How much less?"
Su Wen coughed lightly and said, "At the moment, there's only me. Of course, if you can successfully join, there will be two members."
Qi Qiuxue: "So it's the guild you founded yourself?"
"Yes." Su Wen nodded and said sincerely, "Would you consider it, Zhang Xue? One more companion means more strength. That girl named Li Yiqing is your friend, right? If you want, I can make an exception and skip the review and let her in directly."
"Anyway, the Suwen Guild welcomes you to join."
Even the name of the guild is named after himself.
"..." When people are extremely speechless, they always feel like laughing. Qi Qiuxue chuckled softly, neither refuting nor agreeing, "Let's talk about it later."
