The desk stopped Ruan Qing, and also stopped Mo Ran and Xiao Shiyi, who were sitting on the same side as him.

And Li Shuyang sat too far inside, and was blocked by Xia Baiyi, so he had no chance to catch the white candle at all.

The only hope lies in Xia Baiyi.

But Ruan Qing knew that she would never pick it up, because she did it on purpose.

Deliberately provoked him, deliberately banged the table, in order to extinguish his candle.

Ruan Qing lowered his eyes thoughtfully as his white candle fell.

Did she have to kill him in this way to get something?

Whatever she was for, she certainly had something to do with being blessed at twelve o'clock in the morning.

This connection is definitely important, and maybe you can take the opportunity to figure out the monster in the mirror, and what this 12 o'clock midnight blessing is all about.

So Ruan Qing also deliberately put the white candle on the table, deliberately giving Xia Baiyi a chance to extinguish his candle.

Anyway, whether it is to get the blessing of the gods or not to get the blessing of the gods, it is not a good thing, it is better to maximize the benefits and let Xia Baiyi extinguish his candles.

That's why he created an opportunity for Xia Baiyi, after all, she didn't seem to be smart enough, and if she didn't create a chance, she probably wouldn't be able to find an opportunity.

As long as she extinguished his white candle, he would not only be able to take the opportunity to dump Xia Baiyi and dissolve the relationship, but also have the opportunity to figure out the connection between her and the blessing she received at twelve o'clock in the night.

After all, this place where he was blessed at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, but in the first (first) class of high school he locked, Ruan Qing never believed in coincidence, which must have a great connection with the core of the copy.

And most importantly, there were already seven classmates in front of him who had broken the rules, three of whom were players.

He had just noticed that two players were looking at their phones, and one player had turned back inexplicably, though he wasn't sure why he was turning back.

But he must be eighth or ninth, and it will not be his turn to die first.

No, he could also be tenth, because the player named Pei Yan sat in the last row of the players, and he didn't light a white candle from beginning to end.

Besides, he also has system props and rune paper given by players, so he will definitely not have an accident so soon.

Although Ruan Qing comforted himself like this, he clenched his mobile phone tightly in his hand, pursed his lips, and watched the white candle fall slowly, once again giving himself a layer of hypnosis.

System: "......" is really ruthless in using hypnosis to this extent.

And the players' live broadcast room exploded directly the moment Xia Baiyi knocked Ruan Qingbai's candle down.

[Ahhh Help me! My wife's white candle is going out! Catch the candle somebody! 】

[Xia Baiyi who killed a thousand knives! ] Is she sick!? It's not enough to extinguish my own candles, but also to hurt my wife!? Streamer, you go kill her! I'll give you points! 】

[Pei Shen, don't look at it, save my wife's candle! ] It's over, it's too late to save this distance, my wife is dead. 】

No matter how the live broadcast room wailed, the next second, the sound of the white candle falling to the ground sounded.

…… It sounded twice.

The white candle was extinguished in response, but the two that were extinguished were not Ruan Qing's, but ...... Mo Ran and Xiao Shiyi.

And his white candle was in Xiao Shiyi's hands, and it was not extinguished......

remember

Ruan Qing looked blankly at the white candle belonging to him in Xiao Shiyi's hand, and he didn't react.

Not to mention him, even the audience in the live broadcast room was a little unresponsive.

A few seconds ago, when Ruan Qing's white candle fell, Mo Ran, who was sitting next to him, slid down his seat directly, grabbed the table and stretched out his feet to pass directly under the table, and then kicked the fallen white candle without hesitation.

The white candle was kicked directly above the desk by him in an instant, and then Xiao Shiyi, who was next to Ruan Qing, quickly supported the table with his hand and successfully caught the white candle.

The movements of the two were smooth, as if they had been rehearsed for a long time, one kicking and one after another, full of tacit understanding.

And Mo Ran obviously deliberately avoided the flames when he kicked them, so after Xiao Shiyi caught the white candle, the flames only shook slightly and did not go out.

Ruan Qing: "...... ah, this ......

Can this also be received? Wouldn't they be a little better?

The two shattered their plans, leaving the classroom full of people who were a little dazed.

Ruan Qing glanced at the two of them with joy on the surface, but in his heart he was a little speechless, the two of them moved surprisingly fast just now, almost moving the second Xia Baiyi's white candle went out.

As if they knew that Xia Baiyi would knock off his white candle, it was obvious that the attention of the two had been on his white candle and Xia Baiyi.

Moreover, these two people can pick up the white candle before Xia Baiyi hits it, even if they react a step slower, they can stabilize the candle when the table hits their side.

But neither of them stabilized the white candle at the first time, but waited for Xia Baiyi to hit the table before they started to move.

Obviously, it was to wait for Xia Baiyi to make an irreparable mistake, and then let him dump her.

However, although his white candle was saved, their own white candle fell to the ground and went out directly because of the movement.

Ruan Qing looked at the white candle in Xiao Shiyi's hand and fell silent.

At least...... The goal of getting rid of Xia Baiyi should be achieved.

Mo Ran grabbed the edge of the table and stood up after kicking the high white candle, looked at Xia Baiyi and showed a smile, cold and terrifying, "Classmate Xia, you have to be careful, if there is a next time"

Although Mo Ran didn't finish speaking, everyone in the classroom knew what he wanted to say, after all, his tone and expression already indicated what he wanted to say.

Xia Baiyi saw that the white candle was caught smoothly, his eyes were gloomy for a moment, and the next second he looked at Ruan Qing with a look of being about to cry, and opened his mouth incoherently, with a crying voice in his voice, "Brother Su Qing, yes, I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean to......"

"I just...... It's just too scared, woo woo."

Xia Baiyi cried directly as she spoke, the crying pear blossoms brought rain, and her body trembled slightly from crying, like a small white flower swaying in the air, with a feeling of weakness and helplessness, which looked very pitiful.

However, obviously no one present appreciated it, and no one comforted her, and even looked at Xia Baiyi like watching a play, especially Li Shuyang.

Li Shuyang sat next to Xia Baiyi, and almost wrote the four words 'schadenfreude' on his face, and even opened his mouth to ask, "How can you knock down Brother Su Qing's white candle!?" Do you remember on purpose!? ”

"That's it, that's it." Mo Ran immediately answered next to him, said very reverently, and smiled flatteringly at Ruan Qing, "If I were you, I wouldn't have been able to knock down Brother Su's white candle even if I fell myself, didn't you say you were harming Brother Su?" ”

Xiao Shiyi also looked at Xia Baiyi disapprovingly beside him, "Even if the legend is fake, it is unlucky to extinguish the white candle." ”

The three of them looked at Xia Baiyi with condemnation, and their attitudes were surprisingly consistent at this moment.

Xia Baiyi burst into tears and shook her head pitifully, "No, it's not like this, I didn't mean it, I was just too scared." ”

She looked at Ruan Qing and eagerly explained, for fear that Ruan Qing would misunderstand her, "Brother Su Qing, you believe me, I don't mean to hurt you."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and wanted to grab Ruan Qing.

"Don't touch me." Ruan Qing directly shook off her hand and said coldly, "Don't call me Brother Su Qing, from now on, we have nothing to do with each other." ”

"No, Brother Su Qing, what do you mean by this? Are you going to break up with me? Don't, I don't want to break up. Xia Baiyi shook her head in disbelief, tears flowed, and she even wanted to hold Ruan Qing again, "Brother Su Qing, don't break up, okay?" I know it's wrong......"

However, the moment Xia Baiyi stretched out her hand, she was directly dragged away by Mo Ran.

And Ruan Qing didn't even look at Xia Baiyi.

Mo Ran's eyes were even more happy when he saw this, and he didn't care about Xia Baiyi's crying at all, and pushed Xia Baiyi away a little more ruthlessly, "Classmate Xia, now you have nothing to do with Brother Su, please don't approach our Brother Su at will, otherwise I'm welcome." ”

Although Mo Ran looked at Xia Baiyi expressionlessly, looking as if he was angry at what Xia Baiyi had done, in fact, the pleasure in his eyes had already betrayed his mood.

Xia Baiyi looked at Ruan Qing, who had a cold face and a desperate face, and knew that there was no way to save this relationship, she cried very desperately, and slowly turned around and walked to the other side, the figure looked very sad.

When the group of players saw Xia Baiyi walking towards them, they didn't drive her away, after all, there were only two teams of them left in the classroom now.

And the other ordinary NPCs walked out of the classroom after the white candle went out, and they didn't want to go over to see what the consequences would be if the white candle went out, so she just wanted to see the situation.

However, when Xia Baiyi came over, the players still glanced at her vigilantly, not letting her get close to their white candles, for fear that something terrible like that just now would happen again.

After Xiao Shiyi saw Xia Baiyi walk away, he handed the white candle to Ruan Qing and calmly admonished, "Brother Su, be careful." ”

After Ruan Qing said 'um', he took the white candle and the three of them sat down again.

This time, there were still two white candles left on their side, Ruan Qing's, and Li Shuyang's.

The classroom fell silent again, only Xia Baiyi's crying voice remained, and the players who cried were a little upset by her crying.

The tall player looked at Xia Baiyi coldly, "Don't cry." ”

The tall player is the kind of tall and large, and he looks very bluffing with a cold face, Xia Baiyi seems to be frightened by him, and he didn't make a sound, but cried silently.

None of the players had the leisure to comfort her, and they were all white candles protecting them as if they were facing the enemy.

remember

At this point, there are only fifteen minutes left until one o'clock in the morning, and it will be good to get through the remaining fifteen minutes.

A player stares at his white candle nervously, fearing that something will go wrong.

However, in the next second, he was like a demon, his pupils were a little dilated, and the flame in front of him suddenly changed, turning into an extremely poisonous snake, biting him violently.

"Ahh The player screamed directly, his eyes widened, and he subconsciously threw away the white candle in his hand.

The white candle was thrown to the ground by him and was extinguished directly, and in the eyes of that player, the white candle had already returned to its original appearance, and there was no shadow of a poisonous snake.

The others looked at him.

The player also knew that he was hallucinating, and his face was very ugly, "I just saw the candle turn into a poisonous snake and bite me. ”

The others frowned, and the taller player spoke, "Even if you see a poisonous snake biting, you shouldn't throw away the candle." ”

After all, their players are not ordinary NPCs, and they have long been on guard, and they can't be easily misled by illusions.

The player nodded, "Yes, but that hallucination is a bit weird, it can affect not only the vision, but also the brain, as if it were real, the brain was blank at that moment, and the heart couldn't suppress the fear at all." ”

"By the time I reacted, I had already thrown away the white candle."

The faces of the other players are even more ugly, and if it can affect the brain, it will be difficult to restrain the instinctive reaction of the body.

Just when everyone didn't know what they were thinking, one of the players turned around, "Pei Shen, what are you filming me/for?" ”

Pei Yan glanced at him indifferently, "I didn't shoot." ”

The player's face turned white suddenly, and he also remembered Pei Yan's indifferent temperament, how could he shoot him.

Pei Yan was sitting at the back, he was sitting in the penultimate row, so there was only Pei Yan behind him, if it wasn't for Pei Yan's shooting......

Rule 3: If you hear something or if someone touches a place where the white candle can't shine, don't look back.

The player bit his lower lip and he ...... Rule 3 was violated.

The audience in the live broadcast room was also nervous by this atmosphere.

[It's over, it's over, this is the fourth anchor who broke the rules, it won't be a group annihilation, right!? ] 】

[It's just hard to prevent, this copy is too difficult! ] Is it really only the difficulty of the intermediate dungeon? 】

[This copy is no longer an intermediate copy, as long as there are a few words 'intermediate promotion' in front of the copy, it is only a matter of time before it is promoted to a high-level copy, and the current difficulty should be between intermediate and advanced, and what's worse is that if the dungeon is promoted successfully before they have cleared the level, it is the difficulty of the high-level dungeon. 】

[If it's a high-level dungeon's difficulty...... I'm afraid it's difficult for Pei Shen to clear the customs. 】

[Don't talk about Pei Shen, this kind of copy of his own promotion, even if high-level players come, it is not easy to clear the customs. 】

Players can't see the barrage of spoilers, but they also realize that something is wrong with the difficulty of this dungeon.

It is impossible for the clues of ordinary copies to be buried so deeply, as long as you investigate carefully, you will basically find clues.

But this dungeon they have been doing useless work, and they have even been played around by NPCs, or the side quests have given them hints, which is something that has never happened in the previous sub-notebook.

Even if the previous copy was very dangerous, the clues would not be so subtle.

The hearts of the players sank, is the difficulty of this dungeon really only intermediate?

There are only seven white candles left in the classroom, and three of these seven have violated the rules, strictly speaking, there are only four left, two on Ruan Qing's side, and two on the player's side.

And thirteen minutes before one o'clock in the morning.

No one had ever felt that these thirteen minutes were so difficult, and every rotation of the second hand touched everyone's heart.

Time passed by second, and there were still ten minutes left.

Just when everyone was nervous, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

"Da!"

"Da!"

"Da!"

Is it a hallucination?

The players who had not yet extinguished the white candle glanced at each other, and they all saw uneasiness and fear in each other's eyes.

No, it's not an illusion!

There are really footsteps approaching!

Their hearts were pounding, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at the door.

Because they all remember Rule Five.

Rule 5: If someone enters the classroom while praying for blessings, ignore them, don't talk to them, and don't look at them for more than three seconds.

Person? In this early hours of the morning, how could it be a person!

When the group of students left just now, they didn't close the door of the classroom, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer, even if everyone didn't look up, everyone knew that someone had entered the classroom from outside the door.

Ruan Qing also lowered his head and clenched his hands tightly, and his palms were whitened by his grip.

Rule 5 says don't look at each other for more than three seconds, and if it's less than three seconds, you should be fine.

Ruan Qing raised his head, and many players who had the same idea as him also raised their heads.

No...... No one......

But the footsteps were still ringing.

And it's getting closer.

Ruan Qing swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and quickly lowered his head in the next second, he was also the first person to bow his head.

The time definitely didn't exceed three seconds.

But the footsteps were so close that they finally ...... Stopped next to him.

To be precise, it stopped next to Mo Ran, because Mo Ran was sitting on the very edge.

Ruan Qing held the white candle tightly, bit his lower lip, the cold sweat on his forehead was about to come out, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

If he hadn't sat on a stool, he would probably have fallen to the ground in embarrassment.

And Mo Ran, who was closest to the aisle, didn't seem to hear the footsteps, not only him, but also the people who extinguished the white candles and the people who broke the rules, didn't seem to hear the footsteps.

It's as if it's just for those whose white candles haven't been extinguished.

Ruan Qing tried to calm himself down, his candle hadn't been extinguished yet, and it would be fine.

After all, Rule 7 has already stated that as long as you are under the light of your own white candle, you are absolutely safe.

And in addition to his white candle on their side, Li Shuyang's white candle has not been extinguished either, so it doesn't necessarily stop for him.

However, in the next second, Ruan Qing felt that something had slipped over his face, and it was extremely cold.

Just remember that the Buddha is...... Something touched him.

Ruan Qing's little face turned white directly, the tails of his eyes turned red instantly, and his eyes were covered with a layer of mist, as if he was about to cry in the next second.

Ruan Qing bit his lower lip in a panic, his pale thin lips were flushed by his bite, and his eyes were full of fear and fear.

Be...... Wind, right?

It's definitely the wind.

It must be the wind!

It's only early summer, and the temperature difference between day and night is already relatively large, and the wind at night is a little colder...... Also normal.

Just when Ruan Qing tried to calm himself down, it was as if a yin wind was blowing and blowing on people, making people feel cold all over their bodies, as if they were cold in their bones.

At this time, Li Shuyang's white candle was extinguished.

Li Shuyang's eyes widened, he was completely not as calm as before, he looked around in fear, but he didn't see anything, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Ruan Qing, "Brother Su Qing, do you feel it, it seems to be ...... just now A gust of wind blew? ”

Ruan Qing didn't speak, nor did he look up, as if he hadn't heard Li Shuyang's words.

Because it is difficult for Ruan Qing to judge whether he will be considered to be responding to 'others' when he responds to Li Shuyang.

The candle could be extinguished, but the last thing he wanted to break was Rule Five, which would be terrifying just by reciting it a few times in his heart.

Not to mention violations.

Li Shuyang saw that Ruan Qing ignored him, thinking that Ruan Qing didn't hear him, so he asked again.

Xiao Shiyi glanced at him coldly, and answered for Ruan Qing, "It's your hallucination, we didn't feel it, it's okay to talk less." ”

Mo Ran smiled beside him, his smile was a little uncomfortable, "Classmate Li, you have to be well-behaved, don't learn from the previous two, our brother Su likes to be well-behaved." ”

Although he waited for a long time and didn't hear a voice, Ruan Qing lowered his head like that and didn't speak.

There are only five minutes left until one o'clock in the morning.

Ruan Qing's hand holding the white candle began to tremble uncontrollably.

He wanted to extinguish the white candle, but he didn't dare now.

If you think about the legends and rules of being blessed at twelve o'clock at midnight, several people did not break the rules at all, but the white candle was inexplicably extinguished, and the blessed person would become extremely smart......

Ruan Qing's tears were already rolling in his eyes.

This prayer for blessings is not like wanting to be blessed at all, but more like having something to choose its own...... Body.

If it is not chosen, the candle will be extinguished, even if the ten rules are not violated.

If selected...... Then it is very likely that it is no longer himself, as he guessed.

White candles should never burn until one o'clock in the morning.

But Ruan Qing didn't dare to extinguish the candle at all now, because the footsteps had stopped beside him, and they had never sounded again.

It's like it's just an illusion.

Only under the light of his own white candle is absolutely complete, but if the white candle burns a little more, he may have an accident before anyone else.

Maybe by 1 a.m., he won't be able to make it out of the classroom alive.

No, the 'person' who can go out, but who goes out is no longer him.

It seemed as if a long time had passed, and it seemed as if only a few seconds had passed.

Ruan Qing is now in a dilemma, he is afraid that the white candle will go out, and he is afraid that the white candle will not be extinguished.

He tried to keep his tears from flowing and his brain from thinking wildly.

He wasn't necessarily the one who was chosen.

After all, there are still three that have not been extinguished, and there is no violation of the rules, and he is only one of them.

However, in the next second, a cold wind blew, making the temperature of the entire classroom seem to drop by a few degrees.

Immediately after, the classroom suddenly became dark, no longer bright, and darkness swept through the corners again.

It's as if there was only one candle left in the classroom.

Ruan Qing's heart was stunned, his face was so pale that there was no blood, his body trembled slightly, his muscles stiffened, and he slowly turned around while holding a white candle and trembling.

The players are all ...... white candles Extinguished.

The whole classroom, only ...... The white candle in his hand still glowed.
