Chapter 56: Lanruo High School (4)
The last paragraph of the newspaper clipping in Chu Qingsha's hand reads:
Ten years of Erling, autumn.
When a student's parent invited an onmyoji to do the practice, the onmyoji claimed to have beheaded the monster, but his own path was still unable to make it a Buddha.
The author asked again and again, and the onmyoji left, "Do you want me to go to 'there' and carry him out?" He left angrily.
Since then, the wellhead has been re-sealed with cement, and there is no abnormality to this day.

Hearing the system prompt, Chu Qingsha also breathed a sigh of relief.
Her guts should be much higher than the level of ordinary people, and she may be braver than players like Brother Long, so she didn't react much when she saw that chilling newspaper clipping.
Still, she couldn't help but worry......
Because during the last call, Bai Shixi made it clear that he had found the well and was preparing to deal with it.
And Chu Qingsha, who learned some of the information from the newspaper clippings, combined with the CG songs she heard before, naturally made a conclusion that "you can't look down the well", but before the next call, she couldn't notify Bai Shixi.
This feeling of wanting to help, but not being able to do anything about it, is really torturous.
This is what the system wants, maybe the two of them worry about each other are superfluous, but this worry will undoubtedly become a burden for them, and upset and fear will make people make mistakes.
After Chu Qingsha heard the prompt, she was temporarily relieved, she looked at the time on her phone, and it was 25:00 in more than two minutes.
The first floor of the main building was almost searched, so she paused for a moment to finish the call before going up to the second floor.
At this time, she heard the system prompt:
[In this scenario, if you stay for a long time, wander through an area that you have explored, and do not attempt any actions that move the game forward, it will be considered a "negative game", and the game difficulty baseline will increase over time]
When Chu Qingsha heard this, she sighed helplessly, took her mobile phone, picked up the lantern, and walked along the corridor.
The concept of "negative game" just prompted by the system is a means for the game system to deliberately avoid the player's opportunistic tricks.
Take the current script as an example, suppose that it is not Bai Shixi and Chu Qingsha in the script, but two players who don't know each other.
One of them is very timid and has a worrisome character, he finds a place he thinks is safe to hide after the script starts, and every time he calls, he will call and answer, and will never be the responsible party, while his teammates are born and died on campus, solve various incidents, and become the target of hunting and killing due to the call.
It's also possible that both players are such people, and they each find a place to hide and talk to each other repeatedly......
This is just one example, and in other playbooks, there may also be cases where players try to survive by "inaction".
In order to prevent similar situations, the system has specially designed the concept of "negative games".
If the player is judged to be in a negative state of play, the difficulty of the game will gradually increase, and if it drags on, it will often be dangerous or die directly.
Two minutes passed quickly, the call time had arrived, Chu Qingsha just came to the staircase, and she pressed the speed dial button on her mobile phone as she walked up.
"One, two, three, four......" Chu Qingsha silently counted the number of steps in her heart and put the phone to her ear.
Toot β Toot β
There were two sounds, and Bai Shixi picked it up: "I'm fine, are you okay?" β
This was his first sentence, first answering a quick question that the other person might ask, and then asking what he wanted to ask.
"Everything is fine, I'm on the stairs to the second floor." When Chu Qingsha said this, she had already completed the first flight of stairs, turned one hundred and eighty degrees to the left, and the second section of stairs was in front of her, and after going up, it was the corridor on the second floor: "I just finished walking the first section of stairs, there are twelve steps. β
She said and continued to walk forward: "You don't have to tell me about entering the CG, I basically understand, the hint is obvious." β
Bai Shixi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Heh...... If you say that, what should we say on the next call? β
"Just keep each other informed of the progress of the mission." Chu Qingsha replied, and then said: "Don't ask if the other party is okay or if he is injured, because it won't help if you ask, and if you know, you won't be able to help, it will only increase your troubles." β
Bai Shixi very much agreed with Chu Qingsha's suggestion, but what Chu Qingsha said, Bai Shixi was not easy to say, at least not by him first.
Because he is a man, to say such things is cold, indifferent, and cold-blooded......
But when Chu Qingsha said it indifferently, there was no sense of disobedience......
"Wow...... You're so empathetic, and I think so too! Bai Shixi immediately quickly reported his progress: "By the way, I'm already in the building in the northwest corner now, the music room seems to be here, I'm going to take a look." β
"Thirteen ......" Chu Qingsha suddenly said: "The second step leading to the second floor on my side...... It's level thirteen. β
Before Bai Shixi could speak, the call time was up, the phone was interrupted, and the busy sound started.
"Hello? Feed! Bai Shixi shouted twice, but he had no choice but to hang up the phone and say to himself: "Hmm...... The result is still very interesting. β
At this time, he also came to the door of the music classroom.
After opening the door and entering, Bai Shixi first swept the entire classroom with a flashlight, and there was no obvious abnormality in the rows of seats below, and there were no bloody handprints or ghost paintings on the four walls.
The only thing that stands out is a piano in the classroom.
White Rock Creek whispered, "DoReMe, FaSoRe......"
He took a deep breath: "Do you want me to press it, will it touch some mechanism after pressing it, and then something will fall off the cabinet?" β
He then turned his head and held his flashlight to the glass case where the sheet music and textbooks were displayed on the wall, but the top of the cabinet was clearly empty.
"Hmm...... If there's anything there, you'll be able to get there on the piano bench. Bai Shixi said thoughtfully.
Bai Shixi's gaze slowly moved to the statue of Mo Li on the low cabinet in the corner, which was a very common white plaster sculpture, carving a person's head and chest, and the size ratio was close to one to one.
After looking at the profile of the statue, it is a pianist named Mo Li.
Bai Shixi walked over, shone the sculpture with a flashlight, and said, "Brother Li, what do you think?" β
He obviously didn't expect the statue to answer him, so as he spoke, he put his phone and flashlight on the cabinet on his right, and immediately tried to move the statue, only to find that the weight of the thing was normal, and there were no buttons or other mechanisms hidden underneath, so it seemed to be an ordinary decoration.
"Brother Li, it's too faceless." White Rock Creek laughed to himself and picked up his phone and flashlight again.
He eventually made it to the piano, and although he knew that some bad flags would be triggered, he had to bite the bullet after all.
He stretched out his finger and pressed them one by one according to the notes given in the CG song......
