Chapter 3: Clues (Minor Revisions)
There was no light in the hallway, but the moonlight was very bright, and Lu Ming gently covered the door with a stick.
The cacophony was getting closer, and a black shadow refracted against the wall, skimming over the [Safety Exit] sign.
Suddenly, the cacophony stopped.
Lu Ming's eyes froze, and he unconsciously clenched the wooden stick, and he could clearly feel that the thing was behind a wall.
Time seemed to be a lot longer, and I don't know how long it was, but the shrill sound sounded again, echoed, reverberate, and then faded away.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
Lu Ming let go of his hand and let go of the girl in his arms.
Qiu Qi Liuli gasped twice, and almost subconsciously raised his hand, but when he saw Lu Ming raise his hands, he looked like "I definitely don't have an inch".
She let out a long sigh of deflatment: "Forget it, anyway...... Thank you. β
"You're welcome."
Lu Ming nodded in millimeters, stood up and patted his pants.
Qiu Qi Liuli suddenly felt very unhappy.
Anyway, it's a bump into it.,I'm sorry anyway?!
"Bandages, it's clean." Lu Ming threw a white mass.
Qiu Qi Liuli stretched out her hands and barely caught the bandage, it was very clean and exuded a faint smell of alcohol.
"Let's go to the cafeteria." She proposed.
And Lu Ming stood in front of the table, his gaze swept over the dim room, and he had no intention of leaving.
There seemed to be something hidden in the darkness, and he didn't want to leave now, maybe he stumbled upon a clue that could be the key to ending the game.
For example, formalin...
"That's... Are you listening? The girl thought she couldn't be louder anymore unless she wanted to lure that thing back.
But what's going on with this person in front of you? Pretending to be deaf and dumb? What rudeness!
She was a little displeased: "Then I'll go first?" β
Lu Ming didn't reply, but touched the table in front of him.
'Goodbye. β
This is the information that Qiu Qi Ruli read from the back of the young man.
Leave you alone, I'll go by myself!
Qiu Qi Liuli opened the door and left the health room, and the footsteps gradually disappeared into the corridor.
The smell of blood came from his nose, and Lu Ming sniffed his index finger that had touched the table.
This was somewhat close to his conjecture.
Lu Ming felt for the edge of the wall and turned on the button for the light.
"Zi-"
There was a slight sound of electricity, and a dim yellow light illuminated every corner of the room.
[Discovery: A cold corpse]
[Clue: gunshot wound, this woman was killed by a gun?!] γ
[Explore: +2 Points]
A few lines of words quickly popped out of the field of vision.
The corpse leaned against the cabinet, dark red liquid on the floor, arcing on the cabinet behind her.
The cabinet was covered by a cloth, and he couldn't see what was inside, so Lu Ming covered his nose and stepped forward and lifted the cloth.
The next moment, he saw the contents of the cabinet clearly.
It was taxidermy, and they were all soaked in jars filled with green liquid, two or three of which had been broken, and the liquid was dripping on the ground, on the head of the female corpse.
Lu Ming frowned, and turned to observe the female corpse in a white coat on the ground.
It looks like it's been dead for a long time, and the blood has dried up to a sticky shape, so it's not a player, it should be an NPC.
[What did you find in the pool of blood (bloodstained pistol)]
[Pistol: Stained with blood, it may affect the shooting, if you don't mind the blood stains on it, it will be a very good weapon.] γ
"Suicidal?"
Lu Ming frowned slightly, but quickly denied this conjecture, the gunshot wound was on the forehead, if it was suicide, wouldn't it be troublesome to shoot like this?
Then he was the only one who could kill him.
"Magnetic... Magnetic.." The corridor was once again filled with the sound of friction, far away and terrifying.
So fast......
Lu Ming sighed, picked up the pistol from the pool of blood, pushed open the door and rushed out.
γPositioning: Canteenγ
Turning the corner, I ran down the dimly lit hallway, and the footsteps quickly followed.
[Hint: Your heart beats faster]
Speed +3
γCalm -5γ
Lu Ming didn't want to meet the dean so soon, maybe the gun could stop him, but he had never fired a gun, and in the face of a game of unknown meaning, he was not allowed to make mistakes now.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
γPlot Tips:
That day, Sister Chen told Yuan Yuan the story of the big bad wolf in the health room, and Sister Chen had never told us stories before.
Once upon a time there was a big bad wolf, and he was so hungry that he put on a sheep's skin and mixed in with the sheep, and then kept stealing and eating the lambs...
But the story is not finished.
The dean came in...]
[Achievement condition: That night, Yuan Yuan was not in the cafeteria]
[Player: Lu Ming]
[You have entered the main story!] γ
Lu Ming didn't have time to care, because the footsteps echoing in the corridor were getting closer and closer.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"I can't stand it! It's definitely a dream! β
"What game loads? I do not quite understand. β
"Unbelievable, I want to go home..."
In the cafeteria, several people sat in different positions, some were complaining, some were muttering to themselves.
There were candles on the table, and the faint candlelight was like a campfire in the dark.
Judging by their attire, they come from different places and work in different jobs, and the only thing they have in common is βββ fear and insecurity.
Emotions are easily contagious, especially negative emotions, and people will be subtly influenced by the group.
Qiu Qi Liuli knew very well that part of the reason for her boredom came from the current environment.
She didn't even notice that she was already in the branch.
"Hello."
Suddenly, she was tapped on the shoulder, and it was a good-looking boy.
"Can I sit at this table?"
Qiu Qi Liuli was stunned for a moment: "Of course you can." β
After the language is unified, the way to identify nationality is to look at the face, at least to make sure that the boy in front of you is also Asian.
The boy sat down opposite and stretched out his hand very gentlemanly: "Mo Yan, a native of country C." β
Qiu Qi Liuli shook it politely and reported his name and nationality.
"You also got a message from the plot, right?" Mo Yan lowered his voice, and the candlelight trembled in his eyes.
"It seems that there is...", was suddenly reminded, Qiu Qi Liuli remembered that she seemed to have missed a few prompts just now: "Enter... Side plots? β
"Sure enough, you're not either..."Mo Yan swept across the cafeteria, two, three... Plus yourself is five.
"I see..."
"What's wrong?" Qiu Qi Liuli asked.
Mo Yan pinched the bridge of his nose: "You know that the main story can only be carried out by one player, right?" The condition is likely to be the only player who does not enter the cafeteria. β
Players who didn't enter the cafeteria...
Qiu Qi Liuli thought of another person from Country C, the two had just formed a team not long ago, but the team had already disbanded when he left.
Boom!
At this time, the door of the cafeteria was suddenly pushed open, and everyone turned their eyes to the door.
The gate swayed back and forth and creaked.
The young man immediately closed the door before he could catch a breath, and looked at the window, where there was no longer that thing in the corridor.
"Lu Ming?" Qiu Qi Liuli stood up, feeling inexplicably relieved.
"Dude, are you chasing that thing too?" The white-collar young man from country C asked, and when he saw what Lu Ming was in his hand clearly, he was stunned.
It was a bloodstained pistol.
Not only him, everyone else gasped.
After making sure to get rid of that thing completely, Lu Ming sat down slowly with his back against the door, and only the sound of his heavy breathing remained in the cafeteria.
Before entering the game, he had always been the kind of person who didn't exercise often.
"Lu Ming..."Mo Yan seemed to be chewing on these two words repeatedly.
Finding that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Qiu Qi Liuli hurriedly explained to everyone: "I teamed up with him just now, and he is also a player..."
Mo Yan walked past her, bringing candles and swaying along the road: "You are also from Country C, right?" β
Lu Ming glanced up at him, and after feeling that his strength had recovered somewhat, he stood up.
The door was opened again.
"Are you still going out?" Mo Yan said: "That thing may not have gone far. β
"Don't you want to end the game?" Lu Ming turned his head and asked him.
"Of course." Mo Yan said in a consultative tone: "In this situation, it is better to discuss countermeasures with everyone first." β
"Discuss..."Lu Ming swept over the cafeteria, "With them?" β
The people who looked at him unconsciously looked away.
Mo Yan had no choice, after all, the main plot was the key to ending the game, and he hoped that Lu Ming would stay more than others.
"Everyone, Lu Ming is the only one who has entered the main plot, and only by following him can the game end, who wants to find clues together?"
The cafeteria was silent.
The white-collar worker of country C looked around, he was waiting for others to set an example, he thought that even if he didn't go, someone else would definitely go.
This kind of psychological suggestion is a common problem, and when everyone thinks that there will be volunteers who will come forward, the question becomes meaningless.
"Me."
Behind Mo Yan, a hand stretched out, and Qiu Qi Liuli raised his voice: "I want to go together." β
