39 Goodbye.
◎Qi Qiuxue raised her lips slightly, her eyebrows and eyes curved◎
At this point, everything finally has a reasonable explanation.
The Pen Fairy game is just a cover. Apart from a few main NPCs, all the people and ghosts in this campus are just illusions. The NPCs deliberately create illusions in order to deceive players and make them let down their guard.
Illusions cannot hurt people, so the strange-looking monster has never directly attacked players. Jiang Xiaoxia seemed to have died at its hands, but in fact it was just a very vivid performance.
There was also Liu Ziman falling from a building, Hu Meng falling from a building, and Lin Yan being murdered. All of these were performances they wanted the players to see. They liked to see the players panic and despair, and liked to slowly kill each other one after another, just like torturing mice in a laboratory.
Because of hate.
——I hate that they survived by chance, and I hate why they didn’t die in the blazing flames like me.
“…”
Qi Qiuxue quickly left the lounge and went downstairs to find Li Yiqing.
"Ah Xue!" Li Yiqing had been concentrating on keeping watch at the door. Seeing Qi Qiuxue finally come out, his face immediately lit up with joy. "Are you okay?"
"Are you in any danger?" There was worry in her eyes, and her gaze unconsciously wandered over her, as if checking if she was injured.
"No." Qi Qiuxue asked, "How about you?"
"Everything is calm here, nothing happened." Li Yiqing said.
"That's good." Qi Qiuxue nodded, then said, "I've figured out the truth."
"We'll talk on the way. Let's go to the sanitation area first." Time was running out and they couldn't stay here any longer. Qi Qiuxue lowered her eyes, wiped the ashes off her shoes, took the broom from Li Yiqing's hand, and the two of them quickly left.
After a brief tidying up, the rest of the people arrived one after another.
Su Wen and the others walked in front, while Jiang Yu and several other NPCs followed behind with brooms. Probably because they were stopped in the classroom and had to sweep for half a day, Jiang Yu and the others looked very unhappy.
But it was this distance that was neither too close nor too far that provided convenience for Qi Qiuxue. Before the NPC arrived, Qi Qiuxue winked at Su Wen and Li Mengyu, and quietly placed two paper balls in their palms respectively.
After that, everything returned to normal. We cleaned the sanitation area together and returned one after another.
Nothing special happened that night, but just before lights-out, Qi Qiuxue suddenly said, "Aqing, I think I forgot something at Su Wen's place."
"Can you go get it with me?" She looked towards Li Yiqing for help. "I'm a little scared to go alone."
"Okay." Li Yiqing nodded, stood up and followed her footsteps, "Then I'll accompany you."
"Thank you." Qi Qiuxue raised her lips and smiled slightly. Just as the two of them were about to reach the door, Jiang Yu, who had already gone to bed, poked her head out from behind the bed curtains and said with feigned concern, "Come back soon, the lights will be out soon."
"Once it gets dark, who knows what will happen."
"I know." Qi Qiuxue nodded gently, "Thank you, Ayu, for reminding me."
After saying this, he turned and left.
As the two left, the already quiet dormitory became even quieter. After a while, Wang Na, who was lying on the bed opposite, quietly poked her head out and asked, "Who are we going to kill tonight?"
"What do you think?" Jiang Yu did not answer in a hurry, but turned his head to look at the empty side.
"Zhang Xue." In the next second, a smoke-like object gradually emerged from Jiang Yu's shoulder. It first formed a vague outline, and then slowly gathered together to become a burnt, weird and terrifying face.
It was Lin Yan. After the NPCs "exited" for various reasons, they parasitized the bodies of other NPCs in this form.
"Why are you so obsessed with her?" Jiang Yu laughed heartily, his voice tinged with sarcasm. "Is it because you didn't kill her that day?"
"Shut up!" Lin Yan roared in displeasure. Her throat was severely burned in the fire, and her voice was hoarse and unpleasant now. Her eyes, which could not be closed, were full of resentment and anger. It was obvious that she was still brooding over what happened that night.
Jiang Yu finally calmed down and asked seriously, "Aren't you afraid of the sword in her hand?"
"That sword belongs to Su Wen," Lin Yan said. "It's impossible for her to keep it forever, unless Su Wen doesn't want to live anymore. As for the lighter, didn't you see it too? She gave it to Li Mengyu a long time ago."
"Right now, she probably doesn't have anything she can use to protect herself. Now's the perfect time to strike." At this point, Lin Yan chuckled, her unpleasant laughter sounding particularly eerie in the silent night. "I won't let her escape this time."
"I will definitely kill her, I will!"
"Well, then let's go with Zhang Xue." Jiang Yu nodded. "It's almost half past ten. She should be back soon. We'll start after the lights go out."
"Ten, nine, eight, seven..." They began to count down proudly, as if they were sure of victory, and were ready to pronounce the verdict on Qi Qiuxue's death.
But they made a mistake. Even after the number returned to zero and all the lights around them dimmed, Qi Qiuxue still didn't come back.
"What's going on?!" Jiang Yu was stunned, and alarm bells suddenly rang in her heart. She felt something was wrong. "Why haven't they come back after lights out?"
"They ran away? Aren't they afraid of death?" Jiang Yu frowned, jumped off the bed, opened the door without thinking, and looked into the corridor.
The corridor was quiet, no sound and no one was there.
"Go to Room 403 and take a look!" Lin Yan screamed loudly, her voice filled with anger. "How dare she, how dare she!"
"No one." Jiang Yu raised her hand and pushed open the door of Room 403. Apart from the NPCs who were talking, there was no one else inside. "Where's Su Wen? Where's Zhao Xiangning? And Zhang Xue and Li Yiqing, have they been here?!"
"What?" The NPCs inside were confused. "Didn't Su Wen and Zhao Xiangning go to your dormitory?"
In just a moment, Lin Yan realized that they had been deceived. They had been deceived!
"Zhang Xue and the others ran away!" Without bothering to hide, Lin Yan peeled off from Jiang Yu, revealing her true appearance with her body charred and skin torn. They all went to 405 together and met with other NPCs who were trying to catch up.
"They must have discovered something, so they agreed to find a chance to hide!" Lin Yan screamed uncontrollably, her expression twisted. She hated Qi Qiuxue so much. Why had she slipped out of her control again? Why!
"Chase! Make sure to find her for me. I'm going to kill her, all of them, in the most painful way possible!"
At this moment, the NPCs finally stopped disguising themselves and transformed back to their original appearance. Everyone had burn marks of varying degrees on their bodies, including broken eyeballs, wrinkled and charred skin, exposed gums, and bodies revealing flesh and bones.
They roared and shouted, searching everywhere in the dark night. The beautiful illusion they had created had long since disappeared. In the huge dormitory building, there were only these resentful and extremely terrifying ghosts.
No, we searched the dormitory building but couldn’t find them.
The same is true on the playground, in the cafeteria, and even in the teaching building.
etc……
In the darkness of the night, a figure suddenly flashed by. Lin Yan stopped everyone and saw with her own eyes the figure running out of the bathroom on the first floor and quickly going upstairs.
It was Qi Qiuxue. Lin Yan recognized the owner of that figure at a glance. It was Qi Qiuxue!
"I found you!" Lin Yan laughed loudly, her unpleasant and hoarse voice echoing in the dark and quiet teaching building. She immediately winked at the other NPCs, and everyone understood and chased after her from the stairs on both sides of the teaching building, trying to encircle Qi Qiuxue.
Qi Qiuxue seemed to have been injured while escaping. She was limping and couldn't run very fast. The NPCs quickly caught up with her, attacked her from both sides, and approached the person in front of them little by little.
Qi Qiuxue could no longer escape, and despair soon filled her face. She cried helplessly, but still tried to struggle, and when the time was right, she rushed into the utility room on the east side of the second floor.
The room was not big and had no windows. There were a lot of things piled up inside, basically some exercise books and test papers that had not been distributed yet. Qi Qiuxue hid inside, her heart pounding like thunder.
"You can't escape anymore." Lin Yan pushed open the door with a sinister smile and rushed in with the other NPCs. They easily found Qi Qiuxue. In their excitement and joy, they ignored many things.
For example... the pungent smell of alcohol wafting from those test papers and exercise books.
With a "bang", the door behind her suddenly closed. Lin Yan was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked back. Everything happening in front of her was too familiar, just like the night they died.
"Click." A crisp sound rang out in the darkness, and a cluster of flames suddenly jumped out, illuminating Qi Qiuxue's profile. The bright flames flowed in her eyes. Qi Qiuxue raised her lips slightly, her eyebrows curved.
She spoke softly, saying goodbye to them cheerfully: "Goodbye."
After she finished speaking, she threw away the lighter in her hand. With the help of alcohol, the flame spread rapidly, igniting the test papers around her. The scorching flame pierced through the darkness at this moment, and the flames danced and climbed along, with a kind of heroic beauty.
Lin Yan and her companions had nowhere to escape and once again experienced the feeling of being burned by flames. They looked at the people in front of them in disbelief. Qi Qiuxue was still deeply trapped in the flames, like a brave warrior who had sacrificed her life, allowing the flames to engulf her body.
"You are willing to sacrifice yourself to save them?" Lin Yan couldn't figure it out, and she never had the chance to figure it out. She and other NPCs were buried in the sea of fire again.
And this time, they can never make a comeback.
