The Edge of Despair: Chapter 5
"Hey...... I said......"
After being silent for a long time, Wan Teng, a super-university-level oceanographer, took the lead in speaking: "This, it should be a joke......, right?
"Right...... That's right!" Liu Li quickly agreed, with a tremor in her tone: "For example, a spoof of a freshman ceremony or something, it may be...... Seniors who are more proficient in engineering...... Joke on us, huh?"
Is that so?
Ji Wutong looked down at the tablet in his hand, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, if it was really a prank, then this prank was inevitably too delicately designed, right?
"That's not right. Cui Fan sighed: "Classmate Wan Teng, classmate Liu Li, although I would like to affirm the views of the two of you, but as far as I know, among the 141st and 142nd students of Hope Peak High School currently in school, there are no super-university-level mechanics or the like, and that black and white bear is not something that can be made casually, and there is no such opening ceremony in the records of the past dynasties......"
I have to say that although this passage is very practical, it is unusually harsh on this occasion.
"And that's not all. Zhen wrinkled his nose and said softly, "You don't think what I just said is a lie, do you? There really used to be a very strong smell of blood here! Although after many cleanings, there is no trace of it at all, but I can still smell it." ”
Yes, there is no need for super-university surgeons to lie at such times, right?
It seems that it is still ......
"Not necessarily......" Ye Xi interjected softly: "If you arrange it carefully, you can do it to this extent, if this kind of prank really exists......"
Jiang Dao shook her head vigorously, her golden ponytail flicked behind her back, and she shouted, "It's not a prank! It's not a prank! We're going to die! We're going to die in this place! There's nothing but despair here!!We're going to die...... Uh......"
Yang Rui suddenly grabbed her shoulders and shook her vigorously, gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you are a super-university-level pessimist, please calm down, Jiang Dao! No one will die!! Even if this kind of thing is not a prank, no one will die!!"
"Heh......" Inan sneered on the side, "No one will die? You'd better not be too naïve, I think anyone who has read the school rules carefully will find out, right? ”
Motivation.........
"What are you talking about!" Yang Rui glared at him and said angrily: "What do you call me too naïve, what the hell are you talking about!
Ji Wutong sighed, and finally whispered two words at this time......
"Freedom. ”
Suddenly, everyone looked at him at the same time.
"It's freedom, after all, no one wants to stay in this kind of ghost place. Ji Wutong said in a low voice: "The motive is already in the school rules, to become a murderer and escape from the class trial...... Or keep finding the killer and subjecting that person to corporal punishment until only two people remain, which is inseparable from one link anyway. ”
Yang Rui is not stupid, after listening to Ji Wutong's speculation, he grabbed Jiang Dao's hand and suddenly lost his strength, and said dejectedly: "What are you talking about...... Scumbag ...... There's no need to go on......"
"I think what Ji Wutong wants to talk about is 'killing'. Chang Xia, a super-college-level game expert, sighed deeply: "Although I don't want to say it either, but these words are better to make it clear earlier, killing people is the code that makes this game continue, whether it is to get rid of this despair or to fall into the deepest despair, there is only one way to go." ”
His warm voice has the power to calm people down, but the tone of his words that seem to be just a simple way to find a game guide is very difficult to accept.
"Killing people or something, it shouldn't be possible. Yu Lin said expressionlessly, holding three tarot cards in his hand: "Although my divination results are not very good." ”
Everyone subconsciously looked at it, and their hearts sank.
Three cards, all upright, from left to right are Death, Death, and Death!
The figure with a scythe in his hand, a cloak and a hood, seemed to be waving and laughing at everyone......
"Ahem, Yulin. Cui Fan coughed dryly, and said helplessly: "Don't do this kind of morale-killing divination at this time, you see that everyone's mood has become heavier." ”
Yulin turned his head and glanced at him, was silent for a moment, and then said flatly: "Oh, it was actually the card I deliberately took out just now, just to make a joke, you don't have to care about me." ”
......
This blatant lie makes the atmosphere even heavier......
"That!" Cui Fan stared at her eyes and said seriously: "Although he is a super-university-level soothsayer, in fact, the results of this kind of divination are open-ended, right, I remember a book that said that tarot cards should not only look at the surface meaning, but also pay more attention to the metaphors and hints in it." ”
Yu Lin subconsciously shook his head and said: "But three identical cards are basically explicit and certain...... Hmmm......"
She saw Cui Fan's loveless expression, suddenly covered her mouth, and then said after a period of silence: "Okay, in fact, there is also a possibility of metaphors...... Like what...... Not...... The Grim Reaper is bored...... I want to come out and breathe ......."
Cui Fan sighed, bowed around and said, "I'm sorry everyone, I was wrong, I shouldn't owe it." ”
"I won't kill anyone!!" Yao Qianhan seemed to have only reacted now, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Who would do such a criminal thing!"
Bai Miaomiao snorted: "Do you think there is still a law in this kind ......of place?"
She raised the tablet in her hand and said slowly, "I think it's only those school rules on this, and now we can say goodbye to the common sense outside." ”
"I won't kill anyone! This kind of thing is so ridiculous!" Yao Qianhan exclaimed with a flushed face, and she didn't know if it was because she was afraid of emboldening herself or because she didn't dare to face the 'reality' that Bai Miaomiao said.
"I didn't say you were going to kill. The girl said calmly: "I just want everyone to recognize the reality, naivety and naivety are the most superfluous things here, at least in this game." ”
She was right......
It's brutal, but there's nothing wrong with that......
Ji Wutong clenched his fists, now this situation obviously does not allow everyone here to be naïve, whether it is to escape from this ghost place together, or ......
I hope I'm just worrying about it.
"Hey, everybody, look here!" suddenly exclaimed, "Something has happened to Frey!"
What the!?!
Almost everyone subconsciously stepped forward and ran over, only to see Frey kneeling on the ground with a painful face, his mouth wide open, as if he was about to vomit something.
"Get out of the way!" said Zhen, rushing to the side of Frey and half-squatting down, caressing his chest with one hand, patting his back with the other, and said quickly: "Take a deep breath! Take a deep breath!
She slapped hard, and Frey spat out with a 'hmm'...... An egg?!
What the hell is an egg!
"Phew, thank you, dear doctor, I feel much better. Frey let out a long sigh of relief, picked up the egg on the ground under a really strange gaze, and said in surprise, "What is this? An egg?!"
With a flick of his wrist, what looked like an egg suddenly turned into a chicken!
"Wow!" exclaimed Joe.
"No, no, no~ brother~ This is obviously still an egg, and it's ......" Frey said with a smile, his right hand brushed over the chick, and a fragrance suddenly spread from his palm, and he smiled: "It's an omelette!"
That's right...... Now in Frey's hands, it is neither an egg nor a chick, but a fragrant omelette!
He really kicked him in the shin just now, who was still calm and helped Frey: "Boring!!"
"Whew, it hurts!" Frey swallowed the omelette in one gulp, then jumped on one foot with his calf in an exaggerated manner, "We just want to liven up the atmosphere!"
Joe chimed in, "That's right, because the feeling just now was so depressing, we almost felt like we were going to suffocate!" ”
"Haha~ It's a very interesting magic trick. Chang Xia gave the two of them a thumbs up and smiled: "I do feel a lot more relaxed!"
Frey and Joe leaned over and saluted: "Thank you for this gentleman's compliment~"
Kang Xiaofeng also clapped his hands: "It's so exciting, I've heard that your magic show is top in the world, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful, I couldn't buy tickets for your tour at that time!"
"Hey, we'll let you go through the back door later, man~" Frey grimaced and laughed.
"There is no future...... Jiang Dao said particularly inappropriately: "Being locked up in such a place, how can we have a future ......"
Joe grabbed her by the shoulders and said flirtatiously, "This lady, I think you should be a little more optimistic, even if it will make you lose the stupid-sounding title of super-university pessimism!"
"Ahh
Immediately, Yang Rui immediately blocked in front of her, and looked at Qiao vigilantly: "Don't think that you can take advantage of girls casually at this time!"
Joe shrugged, but didn't say anything.
However, after the two brothers, the atmosphere was indeed a little more relaxed unconsciously, and Ji Wutong could feel that everyone was obviously not as gloomy as just now......
"Alright, now it's time to get down to business. Bai Miaomiao, the youngest of the group, was very calm at this time, she clapped her hands and said: "I just looked at the map, we are now located in the gymnasium on the first floor, and there are computer rooms, recreation rooms, restaurants, one male and female toilets, two unknown classrooms and a library on the same floor. ”
Everyone nodded, and while Bai Miaomiao was talking just now, everyone was also flipping through the map in the tablet in their hands at the same time.
"Then there's the basement. Bai Miaomiao paused for a moment and said: "There are dormitories, utility rooms, garbage disposal rooms and bathhouses, the dormitory is one of us, a total of sixteen rooms are just right, the rooms on the map are marked with the names of each of us, I think the structure there is ...... It shouldn't be the same as the original, Cui Fan, right?"
Cui Fan nodded: "As far as I know, Hope Peak High School does not have a basement floor, and the layout of the first floor that Miao Miao said before is exactly the same as in my impression, but I have never heard of the basement floor, and it stands to reason that the dormitory building should be in other buildings, not the comprehensive teaching building where we are located." ”
It is worthy of being a super university-level encyclopedia, Cui Fan, who had known about Hope Peak High School before, made a judgment almost immediately, and it was exactly the same as Bai Miaomiao's guess, this underground floor for everyone's life appeared completely out of thin air.
"So, what's the conclusion?" asked Wan Teng impatiently, he was in a very irritable mood right now.
Bai Miaomiao glanced at him, shook her head and said, "It's nothing, it's just a summary of the information that is known so far, if you don't care, you can go downstairs and go back to your room." ”
"There are only sixteen of us...... Kang Xiaofeng said thoughtfully, "It's not too much, it's not too little, it seems that we need to see if there is enough food and drinking water for a while." ”
Probably enough, right......
Ji Wutong said in his heart, because since the black and white bears let everyone appear here for the purpose of killing each other, they will definitely not let everyone lose their lives because of things like food and water, of course, only providing limited necessities of life is also a way to cause mutual malice, but he feels that this possibility should not be high.
Of course, there is no need to bring it up, after all, it is always good to confirm.
"I suggest that everyone search separately and then exchange information with each other, which is more efficient. Chang Xia smiled and raised his hand.
None of the people clearly expressed their protests, even Jiang Dao, who had been surrounded by low pressure, and Wan Teng, who looked impatient, did not object.
So after a simple grouping, everyone took their own actions first.
In this environment, as peers and only partners, everyone has subconsciously had a trace of bondage, although it is just from strangers to strangers who rely on each other, far from reaching the level of friends or even partners, but they are all very few talents, but there will not be too much estrangement when they get acquainted.
At least for the most part.
Ji Wutong and Kang Xiaofeng, Yang Rui, and Ye Xi were divided into a group, and the main place they checked was the two classrooms and toilets on the first floor, and the others were also in groups of four, and they began to act, and before that, everyone had made an appointment to meet in the restaurant an hour later.
Because the tablet has the function of recording time, I am not afraid that people who have lost their mobile phones do not know the exact time.
While chatting with each other, the four of them left the gymnasium and walked to the nearest classroom.
