It is likely that the owner of the room took a lot of sleeping pills and poured two bottles of wine, and then fainted and drowned in the bathtub.

The bitter taste of zopiclone in the mouth, like a drowning person, uses the oxygen content to represent the remaining time and life...... The system design cannot be just a coincidence......

The clues were scattered in front of them, but they lacked a rope that would run them through.

Qi Yan suddenly realized that his own existence was likely to be this key rope!

Qi Yan suddenly had a bold guess, and he walked towards the bathroom without hesitation.

There is a large mirror on the south wall of the bathroom, just now Qi Ji was busy looking for clues, and he didn't care about his appearance in the mirror, at this moment he raised the flashlight to look at his face, the familiar face in the mirror is pale and gray than ever, and there are even mushroom-like bubbling oozing out of the mouth and nose, which is the most common feature of drowning people.

Qi Yan subconsciously touched his nose, but his skin was clean and there were no foreign objects, and he was still intact "outside the mirror".

It seems that what is presented in the mirror image is the "truth" of the moment.

Just as some souls are unable to realize that they have passed away, Qi Jiu, who enters this closed dormitory, thinks that he is still "alive", which is probably the inertia of human beings for survival.

At this moment, he finally realized that he was the dead who had "disappeared"!

[Congratulations on finding an important clue, the current plot exploration degree: 80%]

[Congratulations on finally realizing your identity, and the corresponding privileges have been unlocked]

As a result, the door to the room is locked from the inside, and there are no windows or exits to leave around, and there is an explanation as to why the body disappeared.

Because the "corpse" never really left the room, Qi Ji himself is a "corpse".

It's easy to find the "corpse", after the identity privilege is unlocked, Qi Yan immediately pressed his finger on the fingerprint recognition button of the mobile phone, and half a second later, the screen was successfully unlocked.

A video immediately popped off the screen -

"When you see this video, I have asked God for forgiveness, forgiveness for my weakness and incompetence, forgiveness for my cowardice that has been indulging in fear all the time, forgiveness for making the decision to end my life"

The facial features of the person in the video seem to have been mosaiced and become blurred.

He leaned back in the water-soaked tub, held his phone in one hand, put a handful of zopiclone in his mouth in the other, and began to grunt himself.

"If you manage to find this video, it means that you are the one chosen by the true God, and you will inherit my identity, you will become me, and you will continue my suffering."

The person in the video suddenly let out an oozing and sad laugh, and his facial features gradually changed from blurry to clear, and finally became the appearance of Qi Zheng-

"Perpetuate My Sins, Perpetuate My Fears"

"Extend my death!"

"Because of your presence, I'm relieved!"

[Congratulations on finding the key clue of "The Dead Young Man in the Staff Dormitory", all plot points have been unlocked]

[Current oxygen remaining: 5%]

The surrounding scene began to dissolve and liquefy, all sounds became dull and blurred, and the sound of bubbles bursting in his ears, Qi Ji had the illusion that he had been sinking endlessly.

The intense pressure of the fluid pouring into his eardrum made his head buzz, and his temples almost burst in pain under the extreme lack of oxygen.

Qi Yan subconsciously opened his mouth and tried to breathe desperately, but the surrounding environment had turned into a liquid state, and he began to cough desperately, and the liquid poured into his lungs caused a strong tearing sensation in his chest.

[Please give us the answer right away - may I ask: Who is the real murderer of the young man in the staff dormitory of the exiled No. 1 Middle School?] 】

Qi Yan's voice was a little hoarse: "Himself." ”

[The current answer is too vague, please give a more accurate answer]

[Current oxygen remaining: 3%]

Too vague? Is this answer inaccurate?

Under the extreme lack of oxygen, Qi Jiu's brain was slower than usual.

There is no time, three percent oxygen can't last a few seconds......

Qi Yan closed his eyes, he subconsciously touched the scar behind his ear, forcing himself to forget the pain and concentrate on thinking.

What is the more precise answer......

Two seconds later, Qi Yan opened his eyes.

"The real murderer is 'me,' right?"

This "I" has two meanings:

First, Qi Ji will inherit the identity of the deceased, Qi Ji is the deceased himself, and his suicide is Qi Ji's suicide;

The second is the last sentence mentioned in the other party's video, "Because of your appearance, I am free", which means that only when the replacement person appears, can he truly get rid of the current painful and desperate life, so in a sense, he died because of the appearance of Qi Jiu;

Therefore, "I" is a more accurate and comprehensive answer than "himself".

[Congratulations on successfully finding the 'real culprit']

【Ding! Welcome to the staff dormitory of "Exile No. 1 Middle School", the copy has been officially opened]

[Please receive your ID card: Exile No. 1 Middle School Trainee Teacher, Teacher Qi]

Chapter 66: Exile (3)

[Teacher Qi's current status has changed: he died by drowning in the bathroom → got a new life]

【Attention! At present, the incident of "the death of a young man in the staff dormitory of the first middle school in exile" has been erased.

[Please complete the quest as an intern teacher and actively integrate into the campus life and work of "Exile No. 1 Middle School"]

At the same time, the strong feeling of suffocation and the continuous tearing sensation in the chest gradually lessened and disappeared.

Qi Yan gradually recovered from the pain of drowning, the moment he lifted his eyelids, his vision was still a little blurry, and the sound of the water continued, he settled down and found himself soaking in a bathtub full of water.

And his hand was wet on the edge of the bathtub, and the mobile phone that had fallen into the trash can was now held in his hand.

It's as if he was really soaking in the bathtub and fell asleep because it was so comfortable.

The system began to import the background of the "Exile 1" dungeon-

Due to special reasons, the school was relocated from the central section of Tongshi to the outskirts of the city 20 years ago, and the new campus is remote and inaccessible, but it can help the school to better manage these students, standardize the behavior of problem students, and reduce the harm caused by the school's students to society. However, in recent years, there have been all kinds of appalling and strange rumors circulating in the school of "Exile No. 1 Middle School", and there have been frequent disappearances and deaths of teachers in the school......]

Qi Jiu's brows furrowed, he didn't need the blessing of strange talk, the existence of this school was appalling enough.

"Problem students" in closed boarding schools sound weird.

Does the "exile" in "Exile No. 1" mean the exile of those students?

So the original owner of his identity couldn't stand the bullying of problem students, so he chose to commit suicide?

This reasoning seemed reasonable, but Qi Jiu's intuition and judgment told him that things were definitely not as simple as the background described.

[Dungeon Main Quest: Ununlocked]

[Please ask travelers to unlock the quest exploration degree and start their own main quest]

"Your own main quest?" Qi Yan looked puzzled, and he confirmed with the system again, "In other words, is it likely that the main quest of the players will be different this time?" ”

[Your understanding is correct] The system answered firmly.

It seems that this quest is a bit peculiar, unlike "Canned Rosefish", which gives players the same survival time limit and then sets up "pseudo" barriers to compete with each other; It's not like "404 Hot Spring Street", where all players need to work together to discover the truth about the story and prevent the curse from happening.

Qi Ji thought that there was another possibility, maybe his dungeon identity was more special, so the tasks to be unlocked were different from other players......

At this moment, the screen of the mobile phone that Qi Yan was holding in his hand suddenly lit up.

"You have received an email from the Faculty and Staff Dormitory of Exile No. 1 High School, please check it out immediately."

Qi Ji immediately clicked on the unread email-

"Dear Teacher Qi, thank you for choosing our school, in order for you to have a good and safe accommodation experience, please strictly follow the following accommodation rules:

1. Whether you are in the faculty dormitory or not, please keep the candle light of the shrine always on, and do not cut off the power supply;

2. You may hear a knock at the door at night, they may be a student who has come to ask for help, or something else, but remember not to believe the words of the knocker, and do not open the door under any circumstances;

3. In principle, it is forbidden to go out after nightfall;

4. Please be sure to obey the school's arrangement unconditionally, even if the school's arrangement conflicts with the above rules, it must be implemented;

Thank you again for joining the staff of Exile No. 1 Secondary School, and I hope you will read and recite the Staff Accommodation Rules carefully, and wish you a good dream."

Seeing the fourth rule, Qi Ji suddenly had a bad premonition......

After checking the "House Rules", he was about to get up from the bathtub when the sudden ringing of his mobile phone almost startled him.

It was a call from the Dean of Students.

But now it's 11:30 p.m., and it's quite rude to call a subordinate at this point in time.

It seems that the trainee teachers at this school have no personal time at all......

"Hey, what's the matter?" Qi Yan picked up the phone.

"Teacher Qi, I suddenly have an urgent matter here, and I need to arrange for you to complete it." The voice of a middle-aged man on the other end of the phone did not have the slightest apology for disturbing others in the middle of the night, and it was a tone that gave orders for granted.

Qi Yan, who was holding the mobile phone, raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh, you said." ”

"I was notified that a batch of new students will enter the school tomorrow, so I need to arrange for you to go to the teaching building tonight to make sure that there will be no accidents at the new student entrance ceremony tomorrow," the dean of students suddenly let out a sympathetic smile, "After all, you also know the tradition of our school, the teaching building must be without 'popularity' on the night before the new students enter the school." ”

At the same time, the system made a "ding" sound -

[Dear traveler, you have successfully triggered the side quest "Teaching Building Patrol *1 Night", the side quest comes with risks and benefits, please take it after careful consideration]

[Reward for completing side quests: 500 coins]

【Bonus Items: To be unlocked】

Qi Yan pursed his lips and asked half-jokingly, "So I can choose not to take it?" ”

The system is stuck for two seconds [Sorry, it doesn't seem to work]

Qi Yan smiled: "I understand." ”

"No problem, how is the night patrol arranged?" Qi asked the dean of teaching.

Although the teaching director's rightful tone made him dissatisfied, Qi Zhen knew very well that the benefits obtained from completing side quests were not only survival coins, but also more valuable than the side plots that could often dig up hidden clues.

So there was no reason for him to refuse.

"The night patrol you are responsible for is from 0:00 to 4:00 in the evening, and the location is in the area of the teaching building, please don't miss the time, you can go back to the dormitory to rest after 4 o'clock." The Dean replied, "I'll send you an email with a night patrol in a moment, so be sure to check it out." ”
