Chapter 162 Red Maple Leaf Boarding School (7) "Complete the ritual and sacrifice the bad boy to the evil god"
Qisi struggled for a long time, making himself look ashamed, and finally... cooked all the ingredients.
He took out a greasy dinner plate from the cupboard, scooped out ladles of suspicious paste from the pot, poured it on, and then placed it neatly on the counter.
Looking at the plates of unsightly dishes, Qiss felt a faint guilt for no reason.
Considering that Ms. Medina did not ask him to deliver the food, he just left the mess in the kitchen and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Halfway through, he remembered something and returned to the door. He took out a towel from his hiking bag and wrapped it around his hand. He pulled out three mushrooms growing in the corner and wrapped them up.
Then, he carried the package containing the mushrooms on the ground and returned to the cement building along the original path.
......
In the cafeteria on the first floor of the school, several rusty iron tables are neatly arranged. The unevenly colored surfaces are mottled with colors, and the large brown areas look like coagulated blood stains. .
If there weren’t dozens of dishes on the table, and a set of dishes and chopsticks next to each dish, I’m afraid no one would think it was a dining table, but would think of it as a machine tool in a factory, or something illegal. Laboratory operating table.
Players gathered here, filling the small space with people.
Just five minutes ago, everyone received a system prompt——
[Please return to the lobby on the first floor to eat immediately]
They did not dare to neglect and stopped one after another. In the process of exploration, go down the stairs.
Jiang Junjue also looked calm and went downstairs mixed in with the crowd.
The moment he met the singing skeletons, he thought that his fame would be ruined in this inhospitable place, but he didn't expect that the skeletons just looked at him from a distance and disappeared after singing. below.
What is this? Give him a good show?
Jiang Junjue is puzzled.
He tends to think that this is because it is still in the safety period of the first day of the dungeon. Not only will you not be punished for violating school rules, but you will not be settled immediately when encountering some death points.
Of course, not settling immediately does not mean not settling. Jiang Junjue has studied hundreds of dungeons and knows that many acts of seeking death will be remembered by the weird game one by one. After waiting, Returns will be doubled during the safe period.
——Unless a solution is found in advance, or someone commits a bigger death than him.
In the corner where no one was paying attention, Philide also hurried back to the cement building in disgrace, searching among the players with his eyes with an unkind expression.
He wandered around in the maple forest in a daze all afternoon, and in the end he forgot what he was looking for.
Until he heard the system prompt, he woke up as if from a dream, and ran back in a panic, stepping on his own footsteps.
From beginning to end, he never saw the shadow of the NPC named "47".
After calming down and scratching his itchy back, Philide realized that he had been tricked by the player in the white shirt!
He was really possessed, he believed the stranger's lies so easily and plunged into the depths of the strange maple forest!
Felide gritted his teeth and moved his eyes, looking for the shadow of the guy who had deceived him in the crowd, but in his eyes everyone looked the same. At this time, they were all wearing school uniforms. The figure in the white shirt was missing...
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a slender figure, it was Qiss who had put on the human skin mask again.
Felide finally found the whereabouts of the NPC boy he had been dreaming of.
'Fortunately, there is still a chance...'
He comforted himself and was about to lean towards the "young man", but the latter ducked down and hid behind a Long County player who was not easy to mess with. behind.
On the other side, Chen Lidong saw Zhou Datong in the crowd, stepped forward, and pulled him to squat in the corner: "Xiao Zhou, what's going on on the second floor? What happened after you went up is nothing like me. Tell me.”
In the eyes of other players, the two of them were like old friends at first sight. Apart from that, they had no further contact, and they did not deliberately make any requests when they were divided into teams, so they were assigned to different floors. .
Zhou Datong went to the second floor, and Chen Lidong went to the third floor.
"The second floor is full of classrooms. We entered every one that could be opened. Desks, podiums, and blackboards were all there. They looked quite normal..." Zhou Datong recalled, suddenly slapping his head, " But two rooms were sealed with cement and couldn't be opened with ordinary props, and we didn't have special weapons, so we didn't enter."
Chen Lidong nodded solemnly and made a judgment: "Those two. The sealed room is probably the key. Let’s wait and see what your brother Chen and I have. We haven’t tried the [white blade] given by the boss yet.”
Zhou Datong smiled naively: “ The boss was thoughtful and lent us the [White Blade] in advance."
"Of course! Otherwise, how could the boss be the boss?" Chen Lidong knew that the Xi La Guild had the ability to monitor every move of its members in the dungeon. , so he did not hesitate to praise him, "There are probably a lot of places where weapons will be used in this dungeon. The entire third floor I went to was full of dormitories, and there were blood stains in every room. It looked like many people had died - at night I'm afraid there will be a chase."
"Chasing... what should we do?"
"What are you afraid of? Brother Chen is protecting you!"
The two of them told each other a few words, then separated and disappeared into the crowd.
After Chen Lidong walked a few steps, he felt as if someone was following him behind him. The footsteps were so soft that it was hard to hear them clearly unless he heard them carefully.
He calmly put his hand on the white blade at his waist, turned around suddenly, and saw Zeiss appearing out of nowhere, landing two steps behind him like a ghost.
Chen Lidong knew that he might offend the NPC openly, so he hid the blade behind his back and put on a kind smile: "47, why are you looking for me?"
< br>
Qisi lowered his head in confusion: "No... nothing happened."
"It's not good for children to lie." Chen Lidong put on the attitude of an adult teaching a junior, and followed the instructions, "Uncle, I took you from I was released from the solitary room and gave you food. Are you going to lie to your uncle like this?"
Qisi was silent for a long time, as if he had finally made a decision, and said through gritted teeth: "Mr. Chen, that's it. , on my way to pick mushrooms in the maple forest, I heard Ms. Medina talking to a strange person. She was discussing with that person how to make you die unconsciously and then bury you in it. Maple Forest, prevent you from reporting school matters to the foundation..."
Chen Lidong narrowed his eyes.
He said that as a "philanthropist", you don't have to abide by school rules and can run rampant in the school. The advantage is simply too great. How can Weird Games be so kind?
It turned out that they were all waiting for him here——
Although he is not bound by the rules, he will also face the greatest hostility from the main NPCs. After the safe period, he may become all the ghosts in the entire dungeon. The target of pursuit!
The uneasiness and worry only existed for a moment and then dissipated. What Chen Lidong felt was more of a strong fighting spirit.
A weird game cannot have an unsolvable dead end, and crises often coexist with opportunities.
Since he has sufficient reserves of props, he can seek greater benefits from risks, and maybe he can also gain the attention of the Silas Guild...
Thinking of this, Chen Lidong looked at Qisi with a more solemn look: "47, thank you for telling me this news. I will be more careful. If there is any new situation next, please be sure to inform me in time."< br>
"I believe you also want to change the status quo and save your classmates from fire and water. As long as your uncle can leave alive, he will definitely expose the shady story of Red Maple Leaf Boarding School to the foundation!"
He said it sincerely. , completely assuming the role of "philanthropist".
Looking at Chen Lidong who was consciously making up a big drama in his mind, Qisi also pretended to be moved and nodded seriously.
“Ta, Ta, Ta…”
A series of footsteps approached from far away, distinctly silent, but clearly audible in the noisy environment.
The players who were still whispering to each other stopped in unison and turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound. Ms. Medina, dressed in black, stood at the door, her wrinkled eyes drooped unsmilingly, and her gray eyes coldly glanced at each player: "It's been ten minutes past dinner time, why haven't you started eating yet? This is the first day, so I won’t argue with you. If you don’t eat after tomorrow, you won’t eat anymore.”
She said “Don’t eat any more”! The tone sounds no different from "die now."
The players hurriedly swarmed to the dining table, each found an empty seat to sit down, and picked up the bowls and chopsticks.
Looking at the unknown mushy suspension in front of them, their hands holding chopsticks froze in mid-air for a moment.
Who dares to eat this thing? Not to mention the taste, just by looking at it, I feel like it can kill someone for several times...
Qisi also sat at the dining table. Next to him, he looked at his first cooking creation, thoughtfully.
He chose a location very close to Zhou Datong. He remembered that this guy had a lot of food in his backpack...
Ms. Medina saw everyone sitting down obediently. After taking a seat, he nodded with satisfaction: "You all came from outside and know how precious food is. Therefore, I hope you will not waste it and eat every plate of food."
At the same time, all players received a prompt:
[The rules have been refreshed]
[5. Students must go to the first floor to eat on time and finish all the food on their plates. 】
That’s okay...it seems that I have to eat these things on the table.
The expressions of several players were visibly cracked.
After two seconds of dead silence, everyone looked constipated and stretched their chopsticks towards the dish containing the unknown object.
Since the rules clearly require them to eat, these foods should not kill anyone.
In the face of life, taste buds and appetite can be thrown aside. To put it harshly, even if it is shit here, you have to eat it in order to survive.
Qisi took a chopstick of a mixture of potatoes, tomatoes and cabbage, stuffed it into his mouth without changing his expression, and swallowed it.
Well, it does not taste very good, but in a weird game, there is nothing to be picky about.
Qisi has always had the consciousness to clean up the mess he made by himself. In full view of everyone, he dug out another chopstick of vegetable paste and stuffed it into his mouth.
The players observed Qisi’s calm expression and had some hope for no reason: The NPCs have all been eaten, isn’t it okay?
These dishes may just look ugly, but aren’t they actually very delicious?
They hypnotized themselves and put vegetable paste into their mouths as if they were dead.
The vegetables were forcibly made to taste like rotten meat, and they almost vomited them out.
But under Ms. Medina's hawk-like gaze, no one dared to vomit.
The players could only pinch their noses, swallow the food in their mouths, and then continue to dig out the next chopstick.
At this moment, their resentment towards Ms. Medina has reached a new level, and a thought even arises in their hearts: "When the dungeon is over, we must take advantage of the three minutes of waiting time to kill Medina. A few knives for the lady.”
Finally, all the players finished their portions of dinner and left the table in despair.
Ms. Medina squinted at everyone and pointed to a row of faucets on the west side of the cafeteria: "After washing the dishes and chopsticks, put them back in their original places, and then go to the bathroom to wash yourself. You can Go back to the dormitory to rest.”
She turned and left, leaving behind her last words that seemed like she was murmuring in her sleep: "Go to bed early at night, have a good rest, and don't go out and run around..."
The players watched Ms. Medina's back disappear outside the door, Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s still early, so there’s no rush to wash dishes or take a shower.
Zhou Datong took out a piece of spicy sausage from his backpack, took a bite and swallowed it before suppressing the desire to vomit aroused by the dinner.
He glanced at Qiss next to him, who seemed to be used to eating terrible food, and felt a trace of sympathy for no reason. Then he took out a piece of spicy sausage from his backpack and handed it over.
Qisi took it calmly and thanked him with a smile.
On the other side, under the organization of Jiang Junjue, everyone gathered the clues found on each floor.
There are four important locations on the first floor: cafeteria, bathroom, office and archives. Among them, Ms. Medina is sitting in the office, and players dare not search in front of her. The archives store textbooks and various materials. The amount of text is not small, and the exploring players have not had time to read it.
The second floor is basically a classroom, and there are two rooms that are inaccessible; the third floor is a dormitory, which is probably where the players spend the night.
The rooms on the fourth floor also look like classrooms, but compared with the second floor, they don’t seem to look alike. I don’t know what they are for.
In the process of exploration, the players also completed the rules one after another:
[1. Students should respect the teacher at all times, say hello to the teacher when they see them, and knock on the door before entering the office. 】
【2. Students are not allowed to enter the dormitory without permission during non-night hours, unless permission is obtained from the teacher. 】
【3. Students must wear school uniforms in school. 】
【5. Students must arrive on the first floor to eat on time and finish all the food on their plates. 】
I don’t know if there are any 678 rules, but as of now, at least the fourth rule is missing.
Jiang Junjue looked at Qisi who was hiding behind Zhou Datong at the right time, and his eyes fell on the cloth bag in his hand.
Before he could speak, Qisi opened the cloth bag and poured out the large and small mushrooms on the dining table. He said with some embarrassment: "I only found the 'poisonous mushrooms', and the others have to be Just wait.”
An item in the nursery rhyme was found, and the players were even more convinced that Qiss was the important clue given to them by the copy, and his expression and attitude were a bit better than before. bona fide.
Felide felt the change in the atmosphere and was extremely depressed. He only felt that his plan to snatch the NPC school uniform was probably out of the question...
He scratched his neck and became uneasy: What should we do tomorrow? He doesn't want to break the school rules, he doesn't want to die...
No one cares about the life or death of the unlucky guy who can't wear the school uniform.
Jiang Junjue took out a pair of gloves from the sack and put them on, then picked up a mushroom and hung it in front of his eyes to look at it.
Zhang Yiyu stood aside and stared at the mushroom intently.
The moment her eyes touched the mushroom, lines of text were refreshed on the system interface in the upper left corner of her sight:
[Dear Miss Witch, congratulations on finding one of the raw materials for the ritual, "poisonous mushrooms"]
[Identity side mission has been triggered]
[Side mission (must do): Collect all Raw materials, complete the ritual]
[Side mission (optional): Sacrifice the "bad boy" to the evil god]
