Chapter 770: The One Who Disappeared Is Me
According to the agreement, five days later, everyone gathered again in the teaching building.
Since Huang Fuli once said that the number of people entering the mirror space should not be too large, there are only ten people who have been carefully selected to participate in the task.
In addition to Ye Shuo and Huang Fuli, there are 5 boys, Taijing, Yan Zilian, Cen Ling, Lei Jiu, Wen Cheng, and only 3 girls, Shen Antong, Li Yue and Gao Qian.
As for the rest of the alliance, they will stay in their respective dormitories for the time being, and if there is any change, they will be contacted at any time through Jade Jane.
When Ye Shuo came to the classroom, what he saw was that the tables and chairs had all been removed, and the corners were full of mirrors. Even in the middle of the classroom, a large number of vertical mirrors were formed in a special arrangement.
Next to each mirror, there was a burning candle, and the electric light was not turned on, and the only thing that could illuminate it was the glimmer of light emitted by the candles. In this silent night, the flames flickered, like a dead mourning hall.
In each mirror, a self was reflected, and under the embellishment of the candles, their expressions seemed to be unfamiliar, revealing all kinds of cruel smiles.
Ye Shuo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and asked Huangfu Li, "What is this?"
"Have you ever heard of the phenomenon of 'infinite recursion'?" Seeing that all the staff had arrived, Huang Fuli also walked to the middle of the classroom, and his figure was pulled out by the mirror with countless overlapping shadows.
"Place two mirrors opposite each other, and put a burning candle in the middle, and behind the candle there is a mirror, and inside the mirror there is another candle...... The cycle is endless. ”
Yan Zizhuan nodded with a deep groan: "That's true...... But what does that have to do with what we're going to do now?"
Huang Fuli stroked the mirror with one hand: "In the arithmetic program, if there is an infinite loop sequence, the whole program will often be directly stuck when it is running. The principle of mirror space is the same, when it falls into an infinite loop, it is the time when its dimensional wall is the weakest. This is also our best chance to transcend the spatial dimension. ”
"In this spatial formation, there are a total of ten mirrors, and each of you stands next to one mirror. Next, all the candles will go out. The last person in line is going to walk behind the person in front of you in the dark and give him a gentle pat on the shoulder. The person who was photographed continued to walk forward and continued to photograph the next person.
This process is repeated until a cycle is completed, that is, when everyone is back to their original position again, and we can enter the mirror space. ”
"Also, don't do any communication with each other during the whole process. Otherwise, it is very likely to alarm the resentful spirits in the mirror, and then the first person to break the rules will be cursed, remember. ”
Next, although they still didn't understand it halfway, under the instructions of Huang Fuli, everyone finally stood in their own positions, and as for the order of advancement, they were simulated accordingly.
The rules themselves are strange, but Ye Shuo always feels that it is these companions who will really have problems...... In front of him is Yan Zizhuo, that's fine, but the one in the back is that Shen Antong!
"Don't make trouble later!" During the simulation training, Ye Shuo had already turned around and told her no less than ten times.
Shen Antong's reaction was just impatiently waving at him: "Got it! You're really nagging! I know the severity!"
Does she really know ......? Ye Shuo always felt that the future was bleak.
……
With a few slight "snort" sounds, all the candles in the room had been extinguished, and in the darkness where he couldn't see his five fingers, Ye Shuo waited quietly. Gradually, there was a slight sound of footsteps, and it was supposed to be the last person in line to start moving forward.
The footsteps were one after the other, of varying severity, like a strange drum beat in this chaotic darkness. Ye Shuo tried to judge the current evolution of the order from the changes in his footsteps. And now...... Not far behind him, footsteps began to be heard.
As the footsteps approached the back of his head, he was gently tapped on the shoulder.
Thank God! Shen Antong finally didn't mess around! Ye Shuo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then he also raised his steps and walked forward.
The move went round after round, and Xingxi didn't have any problems. From the initial timidity, everyone gradually became more and more proficient. Ye Shuo estimated that he should have moved seven times, which means that soon, they will be able to officially enter the mirror space!
The shoulder was tapped again, and Ye Shuo was just about to take a step, when the hand suddenly clasped his shoulder.
"Ah, Ye Shuo, I'm so scared! Someone slapped me twice just now!"
Shen Antong's frightened voice sounded in his ears at the same time. It was the first time Ye Shuo had heard that this little witch would have such a frightened tone.
"What's the matter, is someone playing a prank?" There was a distance between each mirror, and the two of them talked in a soft voice so that no one else could hear them. Ye Shuo also turned his head a little helplessly and asked in the dark.
Shen Antong shook his head in fear: "No, no...... Before, Yue Yue was behind me, she usually patted her right shoulder, and the force was very light, but just now after she patted me, suddenly someone patted my left shoulder......!
"Hurry up and stop!" Shen Antong's voice suddenly became sharp, "There seems to be one more person among us! I don't know if it's a human or a ghost!"
"You...... Is what you said true?" Ye Shuo frowned. For Shen Antong, he always feels that no matter what she says, he needs to put a question mark.
Shen Antong was so anxious that he grabbed him: "I won't joke about this kind of thing! Please, I'm afraid it will be out of control if I delay any longer!"
Ye Shuo hesitated for a moment, and he didn't know if it was psychological, at this time, he seemed to really hear a slight footsteps, approaching them from behind......
In the unknown darkness, he didn't know what was going on, if he put everyone in danger just for some senseless suspicions, he would never forgive himself! Thinking like this, Ye Shuo immediately turned around and ran out of the circle, and in a panic, he hit the mirror on his side.
"Stop! Stop! There's an accident!"
After he shouted several times, the classroom was instantly filled with light. Someone turned on the lights in a panic.
"What's going on?"
"Shen Antong said just now that someone slapped her twice......" The more anxious Ye Shuo became, the more unclear he became, so he simply turned to Shen Antong, "It's better for you to say it yourself!"
Shen Antong looked at everyone timidly: "...... just now Someone tapped me on the right shoulder, and I was just about to walk forward when I suddenly felt a chill in the back of my neck, like someone was blowing on my neck...... At that moment, another hand was placed on my left shoulder, and it was wet and cold, as if it had just been fished out of the bottom of a lake!"
Shen Antong's tone was subdued, as if he was telling a ghost story. This also made everyone else in the classroom feel a chill in their hearts.
"And then that breath got closer and closer, closer and closer...... I turned my head a little bit and saw ......"
"Ahh
Before the words could be finished, two screams suddenly rang out in the classroom.
When Shen Antong screamed, Ye Shuo, who was immersed in the strange atmosphere, was also frightened and screamed at the same time.
"Don't scream!" Who knows, Shen Antong instantly stopped screaming, and slapped Ye Shuo's head with a backhand, "Keep screaming, no ghosts will be called out by you!"
"......" Ye Shuo looked at Shen Antong in front of him, triumphant, and vivid, how could he be so frightened that his soul was scattered?
"You did it on purpose?!"
Shen Antong smiled and raised his arms: "Yes, didn't you say that the first person who violated the rules would be cursed, I just wanted to see what curse there would be, it seems to be a lie?"
"You're too much!" Ye Shuo yelled angrily. Now everyone is trying to enter the mirror space at the risk of being caught by the mentor......! She's crazy, she's going to believe in herself again, she's a fool!
Shen Antong shrugged his shoulders senselessly: "What are you doing, the person who is determined to be inseparable from the Blood Cloud Hall and the Nine Shadows Hall turns out to be a coward who can scare ghosts and wolves with a little prank?"
"That's enough!" Ye Shuo still wanted to argue, but Huang Fuli had already interrupted them with a cold face.
"It's a matter of life and death, if it's still treated like a game, you can leave now!"
As the helmsman of the Blood Cloud Hall, when he was angry, he had an invisible momentum, which made everyone fearful.
At this time, Shen Antong surprisingly didn't refute anything, and muttered softly: "If you don't make trouble, you won't make trouble...... and then her voice was even more slight, completely inaudible. But her high-spirited little face was like a frosted eggplant, and her eyebrows were full of loss.
Before everyone could return to their positions, they suddenly ......
"Whoa—"
It seemed to be the sound of something breaking, and after this strange noise, the whole classroom went dark!
"Did you trip?" In the darkness, Shen Antong's voice sounded first.
"Where are you!?" was Wen Cheng's frightened cry.
"Where are you!?" Wen Cheng called again, but this time it was much lighter, as if Wen Cheng was moving away from them.
"Here, here!" Shen Antong's voice came from the darkness, followed by a faint light, and then a light source appeared, which was the light of Yu Jian.
Yes, use jade slips for lighting! Ye Shuo also hurriedly took out jade slips. Then there were patches of ghostly light, which jumped up from everywhere. In the panic, no one seemed to remember to turn on the flashlight, but instinctively chose the jade slip that he carried with him.
The classroom was illuminated again, and the faint green light illuminated a small space around it, and dragged out many black slender shadows at the junction of light and darkness.
Everyone looked at each other, and the bleak green light made everyone's faces turn blue, like hungry ghosts who had just crawled out of the ground.
"What the hell are you doing?" Ye Shuo was the first to glare at Shen Antong, this is not endless?
Not only Ye Shuo, but even others also looked bad. Obviously, they blamed this inexplicable darkness on Shen Antong's pranks.
"It's not...... It's really not me!" Shen Antong shook her head in annoyance, "Did it trip?" Her tone sounded uncertain, "Is it!? Or is the power off?"
"Very strange...... Huang Fuli suddenly turned around, bypassed the crowd, walked to the window alone, stared at the sky above like splashing ink, so dark that he couldn't see a star, "Is it so dark?"
The others also gathered around one after another, and indeed, the sky outside the window was so thick that it could not be dissolved, as if all the light sources in the world had disappeared, and there was only a deep darkness, like a monster spreading its claws and pressing down on them......
Let alone...... The more people think about it, the more wrong it is, there are many street lights near the teaching building, all the way around the teaching building, the street lights are solar energy, stored during the day, and electricity is used at night, and there will never be a power outage. So, even if the whole school building is dark, it shouldn't be so dark outside the window.
"Probably...... The power has gone out, right?" Li Yue hugged Shen Antong's arm tightly, and her body trembled and shrunk into a ball.
No, it's not a power outage. This was the first reaction in Ye Shuo's heart.
It's so dark that it's abnormal, not to mention the starlight, not even the moon. Ye Shuo tried to poke the jade slip out of the window, but the darkness quickly swallowed up this small light source, and he still couldn't see his fingers in front of him.
They seem to have entered a dark abyss cut off from the outside world.
"Tongtong, Yueyue, Ye Shuo!, where are you!?" another call, as if hoarse, but the voice was as light as a mosquito, like a hallucination caused by a momentary shock.
"Where's Qianqian? Did you see Gao Qian? She's gone!" suddenly shouted.
"Qianqian, where are you, don't scare me!" Ye Shuo heard Shen Antong's call, but this time, even her voice became very soft, she should obviously be by her side!
Before he had time to carefully consider where those people had gone, Ye Shuo felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, was Shen Antong about to disappear?
Hearing that her voice came from the right, Ye Shuo hurriedly groped to the right, and bumped into a lot of tables and chairs along the way, which made him grin in pain - at this time, he didn't even have time to think, hadn't the desks and chairs in the entire classroom been vacated? Where did these tables and chairs come from now?!
"Shen Antong, are you still there, stop making trouble, come out quickly!" Ye Shuo shouted into the darkness.
In the darkness, there was no response, and Ye Shuo's voice echoed in all directions in the empty classroom. Aside from his own voice, the silence in the classroom made him tremble.
"Shen Antong......?" This time, Ye Shuo's voice trembled. Fear and insecurity filled his heart, and there was a strong sense of helplessness.
The answer was already obvious, but he still took a few futile glances at the jade slip forward.
In the faint and pale light, there were only a few messy desks.
"Shen Antong...... Wen Cheng...... Huangfu ...... leaving ......?"
Still no response. They all disappeared in an instant!
Or rather...... A terrifying thought suddenly flashed through Ye Shuo's heart, the person who disappeared was me.
