Lu Ming doesn't have a brother? So...who is Lu Ming?
Qisi thought of Li Fang's fearful eyes when he heard him mention "Lu Ming", and the person who claimed to have created the game "Escape from Usagi Kamachi" and had a face exactly like his.
He raised his eyes and looked into Reiko's eyes, and asked word by word: "So, was it me who said those words to you?"
Reiko's eyes were covered with confusion. She seemed to have fallen into a dream, and her voice murmured like a dream: "What did you say? Did I say something? What did you say to me again?"
Her consciousness is obviously not clear anymore, and it is probably restricted by the underlying mechanism of this copy.
Qisi decisively gave up questioning, picked up the plate with most of the food left, walked to the exit of the canteen, and poured the leftovers into the swill bucket.
"Classmate, please eat all the food on the plate and consciously practice the Disc Action. The leftovers must not exceed 30 grams." A student on duty wearing a red armband stopped Qisi and showed a stylized smile.
Qisi picked up the chopsticks and picked up a bunch of vegetable leaves. He was about to deal with it on the spot, but he saw that the long and narrow leaves were mixed with slender hair, and there was some skin and flesh attached to the end, as if they had been forcibly removed. It looks like it's sticking out from the scalp.
Not only the dishes, but rice is also changing. Grains of white rice squirmed, exuding a rotting stench, just like a pile of minced meat with squirming maggots.
Qisi's face turned strange as he thought about the two bites of food he had eaten before.
He nodded to the student on duty to express understanding, took two steps back and returned to the canteen. The food on the iron plate gradually returned to its original state. Although it didn't look delicious, it was still within the normal category.
There is something wrong with the food, but you can't tell it in the cafeteria. It may be because some kind of force has modified your cognition; no matter what, you must not eat it again, otherwise you don't know what consequences it will cause.
Qisi carried the dinner plate without changing his expression, blended into the sea of people, and walked towards the window where the meal was served.
Although he arrived very late, there were many students around because he ate quickly. The crowd obscured his figure just right. He walked around in front of the window, looking like he had just finished his meal, and specifically chose places where there were more people.
When passing a thin boy, he pretended not to see the road, stepped on the boy's instep, stumbled forward, and spilled all the food on the plate on the ground.
"I'm really sorry. I was obsessed with thinking about a question just now and didn't pay attention - are you okay?" Qisi patted the boy's shoulder with concern and asked sincerely.
The boy seemed to know Lu Ming, with a worried look on his face: "Lu Ming, why are you so careless? I have nothing to do, you should clean the floor as soon as possible, otherwise the old witch will accuse you if she finds out."
< br>
He turned around and pointed at the small door next to the dining window and said: "The mop and broom are over there. You sweep it with the broom first, and then mop it with the mop."
"Okay, thank you." Qisi put down the tray, turned around and walked towards where the boy said.
The aunt who shared the food had already left with the dining cart. The small door next to the window was ajar, and there was thick darkness behind it.
A wisp of bloody smell emanated from behind the door, lingering faintly on the tip of the nose, conveying the breath of death.
Qiss opened the door and saw a pool of blood through the light of the cafeteria. The source was hidden in the darkness and could not be seen clearly.
He turned around and ran away, catching up with the boy whose foot he had stepped on before.
He grabbed the fabric on the boy's shoulders and pretended to apologize: "I suddenly remembered that Teacher Li asked me to go to her office before studying in the evening. I'm afraid it will be too late after I clean the floor. Can you help me clean it together?" ”
The pleading and apology between the young man's brows were extremely genuine, and his grip on the person's clothes was so strong that he couldn't break free, making it difficult for him to refuse.
The boy looked at him sympathetically: "It's so miserable for you. You were targeted by the old witch. I hope you can survive tonight."
"Survive tonight"? Is it an exaggeration or is it realistic?
Qisi suppressed his doubts and said warmly: "Help me once, and I'll buy you a drink another day."
"Where did you get the money?" The boy looked at him awkwardly for a while, but finally nodded, "Okay, I'll clean with you."
"Thank you so much!" With a smile on his face, Qisi took a step to the side without leaving any trace and moved the boy in front of him.
The boy didn't doubt his presence, walked quickly to the small door, and skillfully pressed the light switch on the wall behind the door.
The white light shone down, enough to disperse the shadows and allow people to see everything in the room clearly.
Zeiss followed from a distance, not expecting the screams.
"Lu Ming, hurry up. Didn't you say that the old witch is looking for you? Don't keep her waiting for too long." The boy urged in a natural tone, as if he didn't see anything unusual.
"Well, I'm here." Qis responded.
He walked over quickly and lowered his gaze.
The pool of blood on the ground spread further than before, and a ray of dark red stretched out of the door like a tentacle, climbing wantonly on the ground.
The blood was still fresh, as if it had just flowed out of a living body. Judging from the color and smell, it is most likely human blood.
Qisi walked around the pool of blood and walked through the door, his eyes following the bloodstain to its source.
The girl's head was flat on the chopping board, her beautiful face was staring at the ceiling with wide eyes, and her long blood-stained hair hung down from the edge.
It's Reiko!
Her blood seemed to be endless, flowing down like a waterfall from the broken part of her neck. A few hair strands were washed by the blood and floated slowly.
Qiss walked closer and saw the kitchen knife inserted on the chopping board. The blade was stained with blood that could not be washed away in the future.
Next to the chopping board was an iron bucket filled with minced meat, with white maggots squirming inside.
It was probably the meat scraped from Reiko's body, and it looked like the meat on the dinner plate for the students...
Qisi held the shoulder of the boy who was picking up a mop next to him, pointed at the iron bucket, and asked: "What do you think that is?"
The boy looked at him as if he were a fool: "It's rice, what else could it be? But it's true in school that even if you put rice here, it wouldn't be dirty..."
Qisi was almost certain that ordinary NPCs in this dungeon could not detect the abnormality. Only NPCs like Li Fang could detect some clues. To be more precise...it would become abnormal if he disagreed.
The difference between Li Fang and boys is that players will see prompt text when looking at her; Reiko can also pop up prompt text...
The boy finally picked out a relatively moist mop and complained: "It's really weird, don't the aunties mop the floor? Some of these mops are hardened."
Qiss took a broom and noticed that these tools seemed to have not been used for a long time, and there was a thick layer of dust on them.
But the floor of the canteen is clean, at least it cannot be left uncleaned for a long time...
The boy soaked the mop in water, dragged a trail of water to the spilled food, and mopped the floor.
Qisi also walked over and swept the gathered food into the dustpan. From the corner of his eye, he saw the intact Reiko sitting alone in the corner, eating quietly.
He seriously thought about what would happen if Reiko saw his body.
As the main NPC of this dungeon, it should be different from ordinary ghosts, right? Even the protagonist has turned into a ghost, so the word game will be unplayable, right?
"Lingzi!" Qisi pointed at the small door and shouted, "Can you help me get a rag?"
The boy looked at him in confusion: "Are you planning to mop the floor again?"
Reiko didn't say anything. She put down the plate and trotted into the room. After a while, she came over carrying a freshly wet rag.
Nothing happened. "Thank you, Reiko." Qisi smiled and took the rag, wiped the floor symbolically, walked to the sink and washed his hands with the water, almost peeling off a layer of skin.
Then he realized that there was something wrong with the food in this dungeon. It was hard to say what the water flow was...
Well, be sure to wash your hands after leaving the dungeon.
The density of students in the cafeteria has dropped a lot, and they are all rushing to the teaching building one after another.
Qisi glanced at the time, and his destiny pocket watch showed five twenty-five.
He put the broom back in the room, took the empty dinner plate, and successfully walked out of the cafeteria.
It was already half dark, and the sun could not be seen in the sky. Only the afterglow caused by refraction smeared the edges into a leaden gray.
Evening self-study doesn't start until six o'clock. Time is actually not as tight as I told the boys before.
Qisi walked in the opposite direction of the crowd and saw the closed school gate behind the flower bed.
As he walked over, a guard in a security uniform appeared out of nowhere and stopped in front of him: "Student, you are not allowed to go out during the summer training camp. Unless your parents come to pick you up in person, in principle, you cannot be released."
< br>
Zisi without a parent: "..."
"I'm not going out, I'm just here to take a look." He said goodbye to the guard with a smile, turned around and walked back, memorizing the map from the school's bulletin board.
The teaching building, canteen and dormitories are three points and one line apart. There is an administrative building and a playground next to it. But in the corner there is a pond that covers half of the playground. I don't know what it is for.
In addition to the map, the bulletin board also scrolled with a PPT introducing Yongsheng Technology Company. It roughly stated that this company funded the construction of this private junior high school called "Hope Middle School" and accepted both outstanding students and poor students.
Most of the students who come out of Hope Middle School are well-rounded. They can play and learn well. Their grades are particularly good. They also have a sense of belonging to the group and are willing to work in Yongsheng Technology Company.
Some people say that this is because they hope to have a good source of middle school students and poach a group of good students at a high price. These children will be the best wherever they are placed.
Investors from Yongsheng Technology Company spoke eloquently: "We have a set of the most advanced training methods and are willing to explore the unique value of each student. The students taught in this way will definitely become useful people to society..."
< br>
Ziss believed that dungeons generally would not give useless information, let alone such text-based puzzle dungeons with a huge amount of information.
I just don’t know which clue this part of the information corresponds to...
He walked into the teaching building and went all the way to the third floor. There were students chasing and fighting everywhere in the corridor. They did not look like junior high school students about to face the high school entrance examination, but more like a group of children who were not under academic pressure.
It seems that the teaching method of Hope Middle School is really unique. At least the students seem to be quite relaxed and happy.
However, can this really help students get good grades?
A genius with amazing talents may be able to maintain excellence easily, but geniuses are only a minority in this world, and most people have to follow the path of making up for their weaknesses through hard work.
What's more, Ziss doesn't believe that thousands of students in a middle school are all geniuses.
As for whether the students made a wish to the Rabbit God, it seems very possible on the surface, and all the clues are rushing to lead people to this answer...
On the contrary, it makes people feel that things are not that simple.
Ziss was not in a hurry to go back to the classroom, but stopped in front of the teacher's office.
At this moment, there was no blood seeping out from the crack in the door, bright white light shone through, and from time to time a few words of joking could be heard.
Qisi knocked on the door and said: "Teacher Li, I am Lu Ming, and the review has been written."
"Please come in!" Li Fang's voice penetrated the door panel.
Qisi opened the door and saw that Li Fang was the only one in the office.
The other desks were all empty. There had been laughter just now, but now it was as silent as a tomb.
Li Fang sat behind her desk, grading papers without raising her head, and said, "Just put the review on my desk. Go back to study quickly, don't waste time."
Qisi walked over and smelled the strong smell of blood coming from under Li Fang's desk.
He knew that Li Fang's body was lying there. The body he saw when he was invited to the office in the afternoon would obviously not disappear for a while.
Reiko couldn't see her body, so could Li Fang not see it either?
"Don't let ghosts see your body" is a supernatural rule in reality, but who knows whether this copy also follows this routine?
Zis placed the review on the table, pressed the fate pocket watch with his right hand, and asked: "Teacher, what is under your table?"
"It's the previous paper." Li Fang replied subconsciously, looking slowly towards the bottom of the desk.
Qisi stepped back step by step, retreating to the door, ready to rush out at any moment.
Li Fang looked steadily at the body under the desk, her face turning pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. Immediately afterwards, her neck twisted in a way that normal humans could not do, and her eyes stared out with hatred.
The prompt text on her body changed:
[Name: Li Fang (head teacher and mathematics teacher of Grade 3 (9) of Hope Middle School)]
[Type: NPC (currently hostile camp)]
[Note: She is a good teacher and hates bad students]
Qisi held the door handle, but he couldn't turn it. He only felt his hand was sticky. When he raised his hand, he saw it was full of blood.
The door is locked...
Li Fang twisted her body and her bones made a "gurgle" sound. She slipped from her chair and crawled toward Zeiss like a spider.
Blood surged like a fountain, filling the floor, and he rushed towards Qis with his teeth and claws bared.
The second before he was about to be touched by blood, Zeiss activated the effect of the Destiny Pocket Watch.
The blood flowed back, Li Fang's body squirmed back to the seat, and the broken bones returned to their original shape.
Zeiss himself retreated uncontrollably and stumbled out of the door. Only when he stood still in the corridor did the icon of the destiny pocket watch change from gray to bright, indicating that the traceback was completed.
Did it go back directly to before entering the office?
Qisi thought he would only go back to the time before he asked Li Fang what was under his desk, but he didn't expect to go back so much at once.
Could it be said that entering the office to submit for review itself means danger? (End of chapter)
