Chapter 1: School Building Escape (1)
It's like having a long dream.
Wu Hao felt as if he was lying down, and a cold touch came from the back of his body.
Where is this?
He was a little dizzy, his brain was groggy, everything in front of him seemed to have a ghost, and he struggled to get to his feet and looked around blankly.
Classroom?
What appeared in front of Wu Hao's eyes was a classroom, but the painting style of the classroom was quite grotesque, the tables, chairs, and podiums were all stacked from tens of thousands of cardboards, and the gray cardboard seemed to be glued together by something, stacking countless neat lines.
What the heck? Through? Another world?
Wu Hao pressed his head on the table, and a cold and familiar touch came from the table, which suppressed the inexplicable dizziness in Wu Hao's brain, and his brain cells were quickly mobilized:
I came to a strange classroom for some reason, what should I do?
He felt hard in his trouser pocket, reached out and touched it, it was his watch, the scale on the dial had disappeared, and on it was a line of simplified Chinese words: [Mission: Meet in the auditorium]
Task? Wu Hao remembered some online articles he had read, and the [main god] in it was like this to release a task to the protagonist through some media, or mobile phones, or watches, this [task], is it a hint given to him by the master of this world?
He remembered the strange female voice that was speaking in his head: [Come to the bell tower], what does that mean?
Wu Hao looked at the lectern in the classroom, on which were two school bags, blue and black. It was the schoolbag of himself and Qiu Yue that he was carrying in his hand before he lost consciousness.
Whatever this [mission] is, first and foremost, it's better to figure out what this place is.
Wu Hao walked to the podium, picked up a schoolbag in one hand, and walked towards the door of the paper classroom.
Coming to the door, Wu Hao subconsciously turned the doorknob, but found that it couldn't be turned. He looked under the door, and there would be a crack between the doorknob and the wall normally, but there was a gray cardboard that blocked the crack tightly.
Wu Hao was not annoyed, he took out a gel pen from his schoolbag and poked it at the jammed paper on the crack of the door.
The refill of the gel pen emitted an overwhelmed scream, and the slender refill tip bent at once, and the pen water flowed out. But the whole gel pen still poked into the jammed paper very smoothly. Wu Hao took advantage of the situation, stroked, and the door opened.
Wu Hao walked out.
Wu Hao saw the classroom stacked with cardboard, and he thought that this building was a large "paper house", but the scene outside the door was still far from his imagination: pale green corridors, white walls, and tiles connected together, polished to a shiny finish.
It was impossible to tell whether it was day or night in the corridor, and the place that was originally a window was blocked with huge iron plates, and the corners of the iron plates were nailed with screws, so that you could not see the outside at all. There was a lamp on the ceiling overhead, although it was dim, but it was enough for Wu Hao to see everything around him clearly.
He walked down the hallway and found several more classrooms similar to the paper classroom, but the doors were locked and could not be opened from the outside. Walking all the way to the end of the hallway, there were no stairs or elevators indicating going up or down the stairs, only a toilet, and the blue and red figures indicated the male and female markings.
Wu Hao was a little disappointed, but quickly cheered up and walked into the men's toilet to investigate. The boys' toilet is more like a room than a toilet, the floor is very clean, and there is no ammonia smell from excrement. He pushed open the doors of the various compartments, but found nothing of note.
Wu Hao walked out, looked at the little man in the skirt on the opposite door, hesitated for a moment, and walked in.
There shouldn't be anyone inside, he thought, blushing a little.
Unlike the men's toilet, there is one less urinal in the women's toilet, but there is an extra mirror, and the mirror is covered with a layer of dust.
What does it mean to be [continue life]?
Wu Hao walked to the mirror and wiped the dust on the mirror with his hand, the mosaic flashed on the mirror, and a photo suddenly appeared! It seems to be a place similar to the paper classroom where Wu Hao stayed before, and a boy fell to the ground covered in blood, wearing Wu Hao's school uniform.
Wu Hao turned his head suddenly, leaning against a mop by the pool, and there was no suspicious sign. He turned his head back to the mirror, and the image was gone. Only the word "continue life" is left on the huge mirror.
What the heck?
Wu Hao frowned, he searched the women's toilet repeatedly, but there was nothing suspicious about the women's toilet, and there was no such inexplicable picture in the mirror. But he didn't think what he had just seen was a hallucination.
What's next? Wu Hao looked at Qiu Yue's black schoolbag in his hand, he suddenly had an idea, there was a pink thermos kettle in the side pocket of the girl's schoolbag, Wu Hao took it out, whispered sorry, picked up the kettle and smashed it towards the mirror, and with a bang, the mirror shattered.
Behind the mirror, there is a large space, and the light of the toilet seeps in, and the bottom is still invisible. Wu Hao tried to poke his hand in. A suction force suddenly came from the void space, sucking Wu Hao, along with the bag in his hand, into it at once.
Reaching out around and not seeing five fingers, Wu Hao felt like a slide, sliding faster and faster from top to bottom, and soon the slide came to the end, he felt that he had hit something, hard as if it was a door, but it seemed that his impact was greater, and this solid did not play any role in buffering, and he was knocked open at once. He slammed to the ground, his ass aching hotly.
"Alright, the fourth person has arrived!" The voice sounded in Wu Hao's ears, yin and yang weird, like a circus clown.
Wu Hao got up, four pairs of eyes looked at him in unison, Wu Hao also looked back, the light was very dim, and he couldn't see the figure clearly, so he could only roughly judge that two of them, a man and a woman, were wearing the uniforms of A Middle School. The last pair of eyes was definitely not from a human being, and Wu Hao could detect that these long, narrow scarlet eyes were looking at him with malicious intent.
"Wu Hao, why are you here?" A worried girlish voice, with a bit of nasalness. Wu Hao heard who it was. Qiu Yue ran over, and Wu Hao handed over the schoolbag in his hand: "Here, your schoolbag." β
"Why are you so heartless!" Qiu Yue slapped away the hand that Wu Hao handed her schoolbag, and asked the question just now: "How did you get here?" β
"I don't know, it seems that the watch is glowing, so I moved here somehow." Wu Hao said that he asked Qiu Yue: "Where is this?" β
"Here ......"
"This is your playground!" The owner of the scarlet eyes interrupted Qiu Yue's words, and in the dim space, a spotlight hit it, and the inhuman thing finally revealed its true face, it was actually a black and white bear-shaped doll, the left half was a cute white bear doll, but the right side of the body was infected by evil black, and the eyes and mouth were maliciously grinning, as if mocking something.
"Black and white bears?" Wu Hao shouted, he had seen the projectile wheel break.
βbingo!β The black and white bear nodded in approval, and he seemed very happy to be called out of his true identity, "It's the black and white bear!" β
"I don't care who you are!" Wu Hao heard a boy say that the boy is very tall, about 1.8 meters tall, without the slightest fat on his body, and should exercise regularly. He stepped forward with anger in his tone, "When are you going to let us out!"
"It's all said, I'll let you out when the game is over!" The black and white bear waved its paws impatiently, "The fifth person hasn't come yet, what are you anxious about?" β
The boy stopped talking, and he stomped the floor anxiously, his eyes fixed on the black and white bear, as if he wanted to eat it alive.
Qiu Yue watched the interaction between the two, sighed, and said to Wu Hao, "I don't know where this is...... After the watch lit up, I went to a classroom, and then I heard the sound of the radio, and I didn't know what to do at that time, so I pushed the door open when I heard the announcement...... That's where I am.
"Broadcasting?" Wu Hao caught the key word, "Whose broadcast?" What's the content? β
"Black and white bear's broadcast," this time it was Qiu Yue's turn to be surprised, "You didn't hear it?"
"Then the radio should be played in the classroom," Wu Hao said, "I walked out of the classroom before the broadcast was played, so I didn't hear it." β
"In this way," Qiu Yue believed Wu Hao's judgment, she tilted her head and recalled, "The first sentence is [Let's meet in the auditorium], which is the same as what is written on the watch, and the second sentence is [Push open the door and you can reach the auditorium], which is the method of getting here." That's all there is to it. β
"And the game that Black and White Bear just said, what's going on?"
"I don't know," Qiu Yue shook her head, "The black and white bear said that the content and rules of the game will not be announced until the five people are together, so I don't know." β
Wu Hao pressed his right hand on the bridge of his nose, he was thinking.
I pushed the door out as soon as I came here, and Qiu Yue, I think the two boys too, they both pushed the door and went out after the announcement. Suppose we all came to this space at the same time. There was a time lag between me leaving the classroom and them leaving. Before the horn sounded, the door connected to the corridor, but after the horn sounded, the door connected to the [auditorium].
Wu Hao glanced up from the corner of his eye, and saw the black and white bear standing on the podium in the center of the auditorium, scanning the students back and forth, unconcealing the contempt in his eyes.
And the game that the black and white bear is talking about...... The enclosed space, the trapped students, and this highly symbolic black and white bear have to remind Wu Hao of a type of animation: "Explosion Game", "Future Diary", and "Danganronpa". He had a sense of foreboding.
At this moment, the black and white bear jumped up and said in an excited tone, "The fifth person is here!" The game is ready to begin! β
Everyone looked towards the last door that didn't open, and the lights were shining in front of the classroom. The door opened, but no one was seen.
"What's going on?" Another skinny boy asked.
There was a thud, as if something had fallen to the ground.
Five pairs of eyes looked at each other, and by the open door of the classroom, the upper body of a boy was exposed, wearing the uniform of A Middle School, his eyes were wide, but they were cloudy, and he was as quiet as a fish on a chopping board.
