Chapter 163 Red Maple Leaf Boarding School (8) "He is the worst kid among us"
Jiang Junjue played with the mushrooms for a long time, but in the end he didn't see the reason.
A few brave players also put on gloves and went up to poke around and look around.
Still... nothing happened.
Qisi stood aside for a while, then picked up his own bowl and chopsticks and walked to the sink on the west side of the cafeteria.
The faucet on the wash basin is old-fashioned, from the 1970s and 1980s.
The cast-iron water outlet was stained with rust, and the cross-shaped valve was sluggish and bulky. It took a lot of effort for Qisi to unscrew it.
The cold water gurgled down, touching my fingertips with a biting chill. I don’t know how the tropical climate produced such cold water.
Qisi looked around and couldn't find a rag or detergent, so he had to make do with scrubbing with his hands.
I thought it would be difficult to clean the bowl, but I didn’t expect that after only half a minute of rinsing, the walls of the bowl were as shiny as ever.
Seeing that Qisi, the "NPC", was leading by example, the other players did not dare to neglect. They each took the dishes and chopsticks and gathered at the sink.
Qisi turned back to the table in a stylized manner and put the dishes and chopsticks back to their original positions.
After about half a minute, the players also washed the dishes and chopsticks in their hands and returned to the table.
The sky outside the building is completely dark. Looking out from the door, there is no light in the darkness. There are no stars and no moon. It is like a huge curtain under a hood. .
The strange thing is that the light in the cement building is as usual. Although it is still dim, you can roughly see the environment around you. It is just right to maintain an association that can fully inspire the player's fear, but does not make people act. Inconvenient brightness.
Previously, Ziss thought that the light in the building came from natural light from outside, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Jiang Junjue looked at the sky outside the door and said: "It's night, let's go to the bathroom to take a shower, and then go back to the dormitory to rest together. Who knows what kind of dangers there will be at night in this dungeon "
No one raised any objections. Everyone agreed that it was dangerous at night, not to mention that Ms. Medina specifically said "go to bed early at night" before leaving.
The group of people walked towards the bathroom. Qisi was at the end of the group and collected the mushrooms without leaving a trace. He put them into the hiking bag first and then put them into the item list.
Under the dim light, no one noticed his small movements.
Everyone was focused and alert, fearing that something would pop out from the sides and above their heads, a jumpscare common in horror movies.
The bathroom is buried deep in the floor and is located at the end of the entire corridor. It seems that the distance is not long but it seems to be endless.
In the silence, only the footsteps of the players could be heard, with a few very soft noises interspersed with the accents, which sounded particularly suspicious.
A low laughter sounded on the right side, as light as a ghost whisper.
Qisi moved his eyes and caught a glimpse of two water stains on the wall on the right without warning, slowly blooming into two human figures.
The human figure moved unsteadily forward on the wall, and the position of its head twisted weirdly from time to time, as if it was walking and whispering to each other.
"I heard that there are ghosts in the bathroom. They lie on the ceiling and choose who takes a bath, and they will turn the children they like into clay..."
The voice was very thin, it was Telling horror stories in a gloomy tone: "Many people have seen the ghosts of the dead. As long as they are targeted by it, they will see it everywhere."
"Yes, they have all disappeared, Everyone who has entered the bathroom is dead..." Another voice responded with a smile, "If you get sick, you will die, and we will all die too, all dead and buried in the soil..."
Chiss stopped.
He noticed that the players also stood still, their eyes following the water stains on the wall, their expressions stiff.
It seems that this is an anomaly that can be seen by everyone, not just him.
The two voices were still talking, but they changed the topic.
“47 was the first to die. We all thought he was taken away by the evil god.”
“After all, he was the worst kid among us, and he kept messing around. Strange stuff.”
Qiss, who was suddenly pointed out: "..."
Although he does have contact with a certain evil god, although he does want to kill everyone, and although he is indeed not a good person, he is not Arrange such an outrageous scene for him as soon as the necessity arises...
Hasn't he not done anything yet? Wanting to do it doesn’t mean knowing how to do it.
Chisi observed his surroundings calmly.
The players looked at each other, but none of their eyes fell on him. It seemed that what they heard was different from what he heard.
Qisi rubbed his chin and continued to listen to the conversation between the two water stains.
The volume is getting smaller and smaller, almost like whispering or talking in sleep.
"It's all his fault. He brought all the evil gods, ghosts and diseases. He brought death..."
"Yes, it's because he spends all day messing around with those beings. Forbidden words will only cause us to be punished and get sick..."
"If it weren't for him, nothing would be bad, and we would all grow up and die well in school..."
The last few words could no longer be heard clearly. The water stains faded to the same color as the walls, and the environment returned to its original silence.
The wind that came from nowhere blew constantly. Although it was warm, it caused many players to shiver.
After a long silence, a player spoke first: "Are we still going to the bathroom? It said 'everyone who has entered the bathroom is dead'. The death point prompt is already so clear..."
< br>The cold system sound interrupted his words at the right time:
[The rules have been refreshed]
【4. Students must keep clean and tidy and must wash up in the bathroom before entering the dormitory. 】
That’s okay, I have to enter this bathroom.
"What is there to be afraid of? Who in this world will not die? I even said, 'Everyone who has breathed the air is dead.'" Chen Lidong raised his voice, not so much to comfort other players. It is to embolden yourself.
Jiang Junjue walked to the front of the team in a few steps and waved his hand pretending not to care: "It's just an illusion to scare people. Our guild has studied it and found that many dungeons with magical colors will appear with scenes similar to prophecies. , it may not always happen. I plan to go to the bathroom to have a look. If you are afraid, you can go back to the dormitory directly.”
The boss has made the decision, and the players should stop being pretentious.
The team started moving again, heading towards the bathroom along the same route as before.
The rules written in black and white on the system interface undoubtedly have a higher priority than the specious phantoms.
What's more, even if everyone will die, there is always a sequence. Players feel that they will not be so unlucky and die before others.
All you need to do is break the rules and clear the dungeon before death falls on you...
But what exactly is the main mission?
After walking for a while, Jiang Junjue stopped in front of a room.
The bathroom is here.
All facilities at Red Maple Leaf Boarding School are very simple, but the bathroom is very large. From the outside, you can see the crowded shower heads hanging gloomily above your head.
The bathroom has no door. Dirty cloth strips hang from the door frame and are tied to the iron rings on both sides of the door by cloth straps. They only need to be put down to block the scene inside.
There seems to be no distinction between men's and women's bathrooms, and there are no separate compartments inside. If players want to avoid suspicion, male and female players can only wash in separate rooms.
Among the twenty-nine people, there were only six female players.
Someone muttered "ladies first", Jiang Junjue glanced at that person and said feebly: "Forget it about a few lesbians. If there is really a bastard among them, the other five people can help. It's limited. Don't reduce the number of people during the safety period. "We will go ahead with nine people, and the others will be guarding outside, so we can deal with it if anything happens."
He took the lead. Go into the bathroom.
Qisi considered that there would be too many people waiting to take a bath and the water on the ground would be very dirty, so he followed in.
Players don't know if NPCs can be considered human beings, but not everyone is willing to take the lead in taking risks. It took another five minutes before seven more people could be gathered together.
It’s not that they are not afraid, they just feel that Jiang Junjue is a player of the Grand Guild, and if they go with him, their safety may be guaranteed to a certain extent.
Qisi grabbed the shower closest to the door first and looked at the panoramic view with half-closed eyes.
The curtain was clearly not drawn down, but the light in the bathroom was a degree dimmer than outside. Combined with the uneven walls, it gave people a greasy and dirty feeling.
The ground is dry and there are no footprints. It seems that no one has come here to wash up for a long time.
Qisi rubbed the soles of his shoes against the cement floor and felt a slightly frosted texture. It seemed to be covered with a thin layer of soil. It was not the wet soil of the maple forest, but like rough dust.
The players all selected showers and stood in a row next to each other.
The distance between the nozzles is extremely close. Nine big men are crowded together. It is quite popular. The ghosts that may be lurking in the dark do not seem so scary anymore.
Jiang Junjue took off his clothes first, revealing his scarred body, then turned around and turned on the water valve.
The sound of water falling to the ground was heard, and the cold water coming out gave off a palpable chill.
"There is no hot water here." Jiang Junjue adjusted the water valve for a while and came to a conclusion.
A player smiled nonchalantly: "Let's just make do with it, it's not cold either, and you won't catch a cold if you take a cold shower."
The players opened the water valves one after another, and all Si Ye took off his school uniform and shoes and hung them aside. He stepped on the cement floor with his bare feet and soaked them in the cold water.
The door curtain was closed by someone unknown, and the huge space was separated from the outside world. The nine big men placed inside actually looked a bit insignificant.
Qisi washed every part of his body with cold water, looking down at his feet.
I don't know if it was his imagination, but he always felt that the sewage on the bathroom floor accumulated very quickly, and by chance, it gathered at the feet of the players, and it was already as thick as a centimeter.
Under the dim light, the floating leather and dust looked like some kind of disgusting grease. Even if he stood on tiptoe, he would not tire of sucking on the skin, making Qiss want to vomit.
The water poured from the nozzle was getting colder and colder. He simply turned off the water valve and finished washing hastily.
Under the gaze of everyone, it was difficult to take out the towel from his backpack, so he shook his body like an animal, hoping to shake off the water drops.
"What's on your back?" Jiang Junjue said coldly, staring at a player next to him with a pair of half-asleep eyes.
The player had been rubbing his back with his hands, and from time to time he would bend his fingers to scratch, as if he felt itchy.
The eyes of the nine people fell on one place, and the man said with some embarrassment: "It's dirt. I leaned against the wall and touched the dirt."
After he finished speaking, he turned around. His body was facing Qiss with his back.
Zis noticed that there was a large gray stain on his back, and the outline looked like a huge mushroom.
Zis was not the only one to notice the abnormality. A small white man next to him blurted out: "Mushroom! The dirt on your back looks like a mushroom!"
"I will clean it." The player twisted his arms behind his back, opened his palms to cover the dirt, and scrubbed harder, "It will be cleaned soon..."
" Then come on." Jiang Junjue turned off the water valve, took out a towel from the sack in the prop bar, dried himself and put on his clothes.
He bypassed the player and walked towards the door. When he saw Ziss standing aside trying to dry himself, he kindly handed over the towel.
Qisi was silent for two seconds, but finally took the towel used by others, lowered his head to dry his feet, put on his shoes and socks, and picked a clean place to stand.
In just a few minutes, the water had reached the players' ankles, and floating plaster wrapped around the parts of everyone immersed in the water.
The player with the gray stain on his back was still scrubbing, but it seemed he couldn't get it clean.
The stains even spread with the water flow, and the dirty water mixed with mud flowed down his back and merged into the water at the feet of the players, which seemed to be the source of the mud in the water.
Even if you realize it later, it is time to realize that something is wrong.
The few players who were still washing turned off the water valves, hurriedly put on their clothes, and leaned towards the door, leaving only the player who was still scratching his back in vain.
Hearing the messy footsteps of the players, the player's voice was filled with fear and pleading: "You guys, wait for me, I will be fine soon..."
"Stop washing." Jiang Junjue said, "Let's go quickly, we don't plan to wait for you."
The player didn't seem to hear, and still soaked in the cold water and rubbed his back.
Jiang Junjue looked at him for a long time, with a serious look on his face: "When did you come in?"
Qisi counted and found that there was an extra person in the bathroom at some point.
Nine people came in, but now including the player, there are ten people.
The atmosphere was stagnant. When the player saw everyone looking at him with ghostly eyes, he panicked for a moment: "I...I came in with you."
Jiang Junjue didn't speak. But one person remembered something and shouted: "Weren't you detained by Ms. Medina? Why did you come back?"
"I...I came back after I was detained..."
No one said anything.
I saw the water on the ground suddenly rolling up, solidifying into several human faces with dull and numb expressions, staring directly at the player.
In a few seconds, everyone's faces became three-dimensional, rose from the ground, flew to the player's back, and gnawed on the mushroom-shaped stain.
The player was in pain, raised his head and let out a scream, waved his arms, and looked around in panic.
He seemed unable to see those faces and didn’t know what was going on. He only asked for help almost instinctively, and stretched out his hand to Jiang Junjue as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Help me...help me. Ah!”
No one came forward, not only because they were afraid of being affected, but also because they didn’t know how to save him.
Under everyone's cold gaze, the player's figure shrunk inch by inch, his skin appeared cracked like dry earth, and a handful of soil leaked from the wound.
The human faces greedily and obsessively licked the dirt, eating it all in one bite.
In just two minutes, the player was eaten clean, and the residue left behind was scattered in the water and turned into dirty mud.
At the same time, all players heard the system prompt tone.
