MTL - Fucking Beauty In Escape Game-Chapter 2
Before entering a new classroom, they exchanged clues they had found.
"There are 30 desks in the classroom, all of which are empty, and there is a lot of dust on them like the floor." Xia Qirong said.
"30?" Duan Zhen frowned: "According to the roster, there are 31 students in the class."
"Is it a routine where there is an extra person for no reason." Xia Qirong touched his chin: "There are only 30 people in the class, but there is one more person on the roster, but I can't find who the extra person is."
"You can tell who doesn't have a seat." Sun Le suddenly said: "There is a loophole in this guess."
"After all, there are too few clues." Xia Qirong waved his hand: "It seems that this is an information-gathering game. If we go to a few more classrooms, we should be able to find more clues."
"Game?" Li Xi's tone was slightly strange.
"Don't you think this mode is very similar to the game?" Xia Qirong said with a smile: "Especially in this world, the sense of routine is too heavy, and it can compete with domestic ghost movies."
Li Xi's eyes widened in a daze, and then he felt someone lightly press the brim of his hat, it was Duan Zhen: "Don't listen to him, matters related to life should not be taken lightly."
Li Xi, who was still pursing his lips just now, suddenly softened his face: "Well, I'll listen to you."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head, and the peaked cap blocked most of his face. Duan Zhen felt a little strange in his heart because of his words, but seeing the brim of the hat that blocked most of his face, he couldn't help but frowned, reached out and lifted Li Xi's hat, seeing that he was puzzled, he explained: "It's too low. would block the line of sight."
Li Xi obediently let him raise the brim of his hat, raised his face and smiled at him: "I know, I will pay attention to it later."
There was some dependence in those eyes, and Duan Zhen was rarely distracted for a few seconds, thinking of his younger brother. Duan Zhen has a sixteen-year-old younger brother, who is born with a bad heart, weak body, quiet and soft temperament, always looks at him with dependence and reverence, and seems somewhat similar to Li Xi.
But then, his eyes fell on Li Xi's face, and he paused.
The young man had Zhang Qili's face, his eyes were bent, and his plump, ruddy lips could win people's hearts away with just a slight hook.
Duan Zhen probably understood why the other party wore such a peaked cap in the dungeon, and he was silent for a while before saying, "As long as it doesn't block the view."
Li Xi looked at him blankly on the surface, as if she didn't know why he changed his tone, but after lowering his head, he quietly curled his lips.
Sure enough, the book said that the strategy of suppressing first and then raising, covering the appearance and then revealing it inadvertently is useful!
Xia Qirong was still muttering dissatisfiedly on the other side, but when Duan Zhen gave him a glare, he became as quiet as a chicken, and obediently followed Sun Le into the second classroom.
When they were talking, Yao Jiu didn't say a word, but kept looking at the mummy in the classroom, his face became paler, he pressed his hand on his chest, panting rapidly.
Before entering the second classroom, he finally couldn't help but speak, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "Is it really all right? We provoked all the ghosts in every classroom, and if they break through the seal How to do?"
"No way." Xia Qirong waved his hands, and then squeezed his eyes at him: "Even if they really escape, monsters from the lower world are no match for Brother Duan."
Duan Zhen, who was walking in front, did not refute, which made Yao Jiu relax a bit.
Li Xi followed Duan Zhen, and quickly raised his head to look at the man, but he didn't see the slightest slack in those eyes.
—Even in this world that was extremely difficult for him, he did not let down his vigilance.
After realizing this, Li Xi bent his lips, subconsciously wanted to press the brim of his hat, but then remembered Duan Zhen's words, and stopped immediately.
Duan Zhen thought he was afraid and patted him on the shoulder reassuringly.
The second classroom was similar to the first one, the tables were neatly arranged, but the thick dust was full of messy footprints and handprints.
Duan Zhen glanced over the ground, and said in a deep voice, "The footprints are new."
It's as if it was left a second before they came in.
In the horror world, only people hide from ghosts, so there is no reason for ghosts to flee in a hurry. Several people frowned, and they all had some guesses in their hearts, but Li Xi couldn't help lowering his head, worried that he couldn't control his expression to reveal something.
He had read the script before coming, so he naturally knew that there was no such thing in the first place, and these footprints were just the ghosts here who found him coming and ran over to take a peek.
Seeing that other people's analysis went astray, Li Xi wrote them down in a small notebook.
Several people walked into the second classroom and searched the entire classroom as before.
"There are thirty-one tables in total, and the only exception is this posthumous photo." Xia Qirong pointed to the table in front of him.
The black-and-white photo shows the smiling face of a young boy, but the smile is too big and looks weird.
Yao Jiu suddenly screamed, and hid behind Duan Zhen all of a sudden, because his actions were too hasty, he even slammed into Li Xi who was now beside Duan Zhen.
According to Li Xi's petite and frail little white flower persona, she took a few steps back following the force of the collision, and knocked the table next to her sideways.
"What's wrong?" Duan Zhen frowned.
"You blinked in that photo just now!" Yao Jiu exclaimed, "Didn't you all see it?"
"It's just blinking, of course we saw it." Xia Qirong waved his hand: "In this kind of horror world, it's normal to blink in the photo of a deceased person. You reacted too much."
"Is that so?" Yao Jiu was confused.
His hand was covering his heart all the time, Li Xi followed Xiao Baihua's strategy, although he was hit by someone, he still asked worriedly: "You've been covering your chest, is your heart uncomfortable?"
"Well, I have a heart condition, and I just got better recently." Yao Jiu said, the corners of his mouth raised unnaturally.
His luck has always been bad. He had a heart problem since he was a child, and he couldn't run or jump. After finally getting through it, he was dragged into this horrible game with a cure.
"In the game, you can buy props that allow you to fully recover." Li Xi tilted his head and smiled at him: "It's completely fine to get a stronger body."
"Really?" Yao Jiu's expression changed.
"You will understand after leaving the small world." Xia Qirong carelessly put his hands on his shoulders, making him tremble again: "Don't be surprised, you are afraid of this in the low-level world, but in the middle-level and high-level places Can't survive."
"Okay." Duan Zhen said coldly, he walked to the window and looked out, his gaze fixed.
Through the window, one can see a desk lying on its back downstairs. If it was thrown from the window, it can be inferred from the angle that it came from the classroom next door.
"The number of people in each class is 31." Duan Zhen frowned: "There are only 30 desks in a class, because one of them was thrown out of the window."
"That makes sense." Xia Qirong nodded aside.
Li Xi also echoed twice, and when Duan Zhen looked over, he raised his face and said obediently: "I feel that there is no clue here."
Duan Zhen seemed to be slightly startled, and then said: "Let's go."
After all, he walked out of the classroom first.
Yao Jiu reacted quickly, and followed behind him one step ahead. Li Xi took a step slower, raised his eyebrows, but glanced at the black and white posthumous photos on the table.
The boy in the posthumous photo was making a grimace, with his tongue sticking out, getting longer and longer, the photo seemed to be soaked in water, becoming more and more blurred.
Li Xi stared at him silently.
Sensing his gaze, the ghost hesitated for a while, then quickly retracted its tongue and returned to its normal state, with the corners of its mouth raised unnaturally, showing a weird and shy smile.
Seeing that he didn't move, Sun Le turned to look at him: "Is there anything strange?"
"No." Li Xi shook his head and walked out.
Because of a short delay, the others had already walked to the next classroom, but stopped at the door, not intending to open it at all. Yao Jiu, who was even less courageous, was already pale, curled up and hid behind Duan Zhen.
Li Xi walked over briskly, and looked into the classroom with her head.
The classrooms are brightly lit, books of different heights are placed on the desks, and the students study quietly with their heads down. It looks like a normal self-study class, but it is not so unusual in this gloomy teaching building.
"This place is full of ghosts, right?" Yao Jiu asked with a trembling voice.
"There are many clues here." Li Xi whispered: "But there are also dangers."
"What are they preaching?" Sun Le said.
"It seems to be passing a note." Xia Qirong said with a smile: "I really miss my school days."
Duan Zhen listened to them quietly, and suddenly said: "The clue is on the note."
He glanced at Yao Jiu and Li Xi, and quickly explained: "In Senafel's world, every ghost that appears has its purpose. As long as you find the main line of the world, you can follow the clues to solve the task."
After he finished speaking, Xia Qirong said with a smile: "The world of Senafel is a traditional horror game, with a little decryption, it is much easier than other worlds."
"I see." Li Xi ignored him, and softly said to Duan Zhen: "Thank you, Brother Duan, for your guidance."
Duan Zhen paused: "You're welcome."
Satisfied, Li Xi, who felt that he succeeded in acting cute again, quietly leaned closer to Duan Zhen.
"There are so many ghosts, if you drive them all away, you need about six spells." Sun Le said, he took out a stack of yellow paper from his handbag.
Duan Zhen shook his head: "You don't need a spell, just go in directly."
After finishing speaking, he paused and added: "Students will not leave their seats during class time."
"I'll go in with you." Li Xi followed immediately: "Students may throw the note into the trash can, and we'll look for clues separately."
"Aren't you afraid?" Duan Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly remembering his previous performance.
"I'm not afraid." Li Xi puffed up his chest, coughed lightly again, and said in a low voice, "And I believe Brother Duan will protect me."
It stands to reason that people in the game, even if they are in the same team, would be suspicious of each other, but now Li Hope's eyes are full of trust, and his brows are full of dependence and reverence.
Duan Zhen looked at him, and after a few seconds, he hummed: "I won't let anything happen to you."
He slowly pushed open the classroom door.
