"Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

Shi Yuan was a little anxious, took out his mobile phone again, and dialed Gou Xiaoxiao's number.

However, the sound coming from inside made his heart cold.

"Hello, the number you dialed is empty......"

How did a phone call that could be connected just now become empty in just a few minutes? He didn't enter the number manually himself, but the number in the call record that he called back directly, and there could be no mistake.

There is only one possibility for this to happen.

Gou Xiaoxiao is already dead.

After a brief pause, Shi Yuan dialed Tang Minmei's number.

As a result, it's the same.

"Gou Xiaoxiao and Tang Minmei seem to be dead."

Shi Yuan's arm hung down and he whispered.

"This sucks," Yukino Takegami said anxiously at once, "their map ......"

He didn't say more, but the meaning was clear.

Shi Yuan did not speak immediately, but fell into deep thought. Then, he looked at everyone around him, and finally fixed his gaze on Wu Yan.

Wu Yan felt Shi Yuan's gaze and was taken aback.

Although he is a murderer, he has a little fear of Shi Yuan.

"You...... What do you see me doing? ”

He said with some nervousness.

During the time when they were waiting for Gou Xiaoxiao and Tang Minmei to arrive, Shi Yuan and the others were naturally not idle. This is definitely not the time to relax, they are in a deserted campus, and this "game" has already begun, they only have three hours, and no one can be as leisurely as usual.

Shi Yuan took the maps of everyone except Wu Yan, constantly comparing and overlapping, trying to find clues. However, the result was always the same as it was at the beginning - he found nothing.

Those smudges seemed to be hidden mysteries, but in fact, after many attempts, Shi Yuan still did not find any credible clues. No matter how much they are put together and reversed, they cannot form any written symbols.

I thought that the arrival of Gou Xiaoxiao and Tang Minmei could bring some new information, but what I was waiting for was the news of their deaths. Even Shi Yuan felt that there was a gloom in front of him at this moment.

"Is there really no way?" Takegami Yuki's expression was also very gloomy, and he sighed and said, "All our clues are just these few maps, but we haven't found anything. ”

"Shi Yuan, will it ...... There are other ...... Participator? ”

An Lingxian said suddenly.

"The other participants?"

Shi Yuan turned his head to look at An Lingxian.

"Well," An Lingxian nodded, "We're ...... here." Now it's seven people, if you count Xiaoxiao and Don...... There were nine people in total. These...... Is that all? We also ...... I don't know. Perhaps, there will be ...... What about the others? ”

"It's a possibility. However, the people who survived last time have already appeared, and even if there are other people, their identities are unknown at present, so how can they be contacted? It's impossible for us to look for it all over campus. ”

Shi Yuan nodded at first, and then shook his head a little helplessly and said.

After thinking for a while, Shi Yuan continued: "Actually, with the map we have now, it may not be impossible to solve the mystery. We're certainly not going to go around looking for other participants who don't know if they exist, and the idea now is to find the hidden clues as soon as possible. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Yuan looked at the gate of the No. 1 teaching building, and then continued: "This teaching building is dangerous. According to the rules of the game, we have to go back here eventually, and now it's better for us to get out of here as soon as possible. ”

The others had already done the same, so everyone quickly left the No. 1 school building.

Shi Yuan knows that in such a campus, it is impossible to be absolutely safe anywhere, but in such a situation, human beings will instinctively run to the place where they think they are safe. And what Shi Yuan and the others went to was the school playground.

It has a large area and a great view. If there is danger, it can be detected as soon as possible and can be quickly escaped.

On the other hand, if you rashly enter the building, you are likely to put yourself in a situation from which you will never recover.

"Shi Yuan, since you are looking for treasures, it means that the treasures must exist in this school, right?"

Standing in the middle of the playground, Yukino Takegami said a little nervously looking around him.

"It should be."

"It's nominally a game, but it's not really what we usually call a computer game. Even if you don't follow the rules of the game, there are still treasures that should be there, right? ”

Yukino Takegami said again.

His words confused the slightly older Wu Yan. He said with some impatience: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”

Yuki Takegami glanced at him, but didn't pay attention to him, but continued to say to Shi Yuan: "In computer games, players must play according to the set program. For example, if a clue is not found first, even if you reach the location of the treasure, it will not be triggered, because the program is designed this way, and the player can only follow the program. However, we are not in a computer game now, and although we have not discovered the secrets in the map, if we go to the place where the treasure is hidden, we can also find the treasure, right? ”

Shen Ethereal was also a little puzzled at first, but she quickly understood what Yukino Takegami meant, and her face unconsciously showed a little light.

"You're right! When we talk about games, the first thing that comes to mind is computer games, and then we subconsciously think that we have to follow the program in order to trigger the next step. But we're not in a computer game, we're actually in a school. If there's a treasure somewhere, it's a matter of luck and we don't need to rely entirely on the map. ”

As he said these words, Shen Ethereal smiled rarely.

However, Shi Yuan shook his head and said, "This is not realistic. With such a big school, just luck, do you think we can find treasures? And ......"

Shi Yuan raised his head, looked directly at Shen Ethereal, and said word by word: "How do you know that we are not in a computer game?" ”

"Uh......"

Shen's ethereal smile froze suddenly.

If it had been before, anyone had asked her such a question, and she would have scoffed at it. But now, in the face of Shi Yuan, she can't keep calm.

We are ...... In a computer game?

A terrible thought came to Shen Ethereal's mind.

If they were in a computer game, it was bound to be a horror game.

What happens in a horror game?

Shen Ethereal's scalp was numb, and he immediately turned his head to look around.

The empty playground was empty except for them. In the surrounding stands in the night, there seemed to be some distorted black shadows.

Shen Ethereal's heart felt as if it had been grabbed by a hand, and his breathing became uneasy.
