MTL - Fucking Beauty In Escape Game-Chapter 4

After solving the skeleton, a group of people climbed up to the fifth floor smoothly. The corridor was cold and dark, the windows were tightly sealed by wooden boards, and no light could penetrate.

Li Xi remembered the persona, and quickly rubbed against Duan Zhen, almost sticking to his arm.

Duan Zhen glanced down at him, because the hat didn't see the young man's face, but caught a glimpse of the other's red ear tips.

A trace of strangeness flashed quickly from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't catch any more information.

"The archive room." Li Xi didn't know that he was about to reveal his secrets, so he hugged Duan Zhen's arm and whispered: "There must be clues in the archive room."

"En." Duan Zhen replied calmly, but he still didn't pull out his arm.

As if he was carrying a small oil bottle, he pushed open the door of the archive room with his other hand, and thick dust drifted out as the door opened, mixed with the smell of old paper.

Li Xi covered his mouth and nose and coughed twice before recovering, fanning the wind with his hands: "There is too much dust here."

Duan Zhen seemed to have been prepared for a long time, he was not choked by the dust, but led the people inside.

There are no windows in the archives room, and it's so dark that you can't see anything clearly. Xia Qirong followed them in, they groped the wall several times, and finally found the switch. With a snap, the dim yellow light flickered on tremblingly, flickering twice from time to time.

"It's too similar to a horror game." Xia Qirong said in amazement: "Wow, this light makes a creaking sound when it shakes. If it's the first time you enter the game, you will definitely be scared."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Le poked him with an elbow, and then he remembered that there was a newcomer in the team who had just violated Duan Zhen's taboo, and shrugged: "I'm not wrong."

Duan Zhen didn't care what he said over there, just frowned and looked through the files on the shelf.

Those files were randomly placed on the shelves on both sides, and a thick layer of dust fell on the kraft paper on the cover. As soon as Duan Zhen picked it up, the ashes scattered.

Duan Zhen subconsciously looked at Li Xi, only to find that the other party was holding his breath, he was not choked anymore, and he still had time to show him an expression begging for praise, his eyes sparkling.

Duan Zhen patted him on the shoulder: "Go to Xia Qirong's side and see if there are any other clues here."

"I can help you read the file." Li Xi was naturally unwilling to leave, picked up another file, pretended to open it, glanced at it a few times, and boasted: "I have a good memory, and I can read written materials very quickly."

He is born with strong magic power and flexible mind. He can see ten lines at a glance, and he has an unforgettable memory. No matter what it is, he can remember it in his heart at a glance. This is also the reason why he can find Duan Zhen among millions of people.

"It's dark here." Duan Zhen took the file from his hand: "Children, please protect your eyes."

"I'm not a child." Li Xi looked up at him with wide eyes, straightened up: "I'm an adult!"

"En." Duan Zhen replied lightly, not sure if he believed it or not.

Li Xi was lightly pushed on the shoulder by him, not wanting to delay him from reading the file, so he had to hold his breath and walk towards Xia Qirong.

The clues of the entire file room were in those files, and he couldn't explain it clearly, so he pursed his lips unhappily and flipped through the items in other places at will.

"Li Xi, are you really an adult?" Xia Qirong sneaked over and asked in a low voice, apparently overhearing their conversation.

"Just turned 18." Li Xi said.

He followed the advice in the book and chose an age at which he could fall in love and appear harmless.

"18 years old..." Xia Qirong touched his chin: "Then you should still be studying, have you graduated from high school?"

Li Xi paused for two seconds before saying, "I didn't go to high school."

"...It's okay if I didn't go to high school. I didn't go to high school. I'm doing well now. If I wasn't pulled in by this game, I would have achieved success long ago, and my wife and children are hot on the bed." Xia Qirong thought that she had touched his heart, and quickly Remedy, "Nowadays, I don't care much about education. With your appearance, there must be a lot of girls chasing you."

As he spoke, he raised the brim of Li Xi's hat, just in time to meet the black eyes that the other party was looking at.

Those eyes are dark, hidden in the shadow under the brim of the hat, without a trace of light, like a cold pool with an invisible bottom, as long as you stare at it, you will be swallowed by darkness and ice.

Xia Qirong was at a loss for words for a moment, and stared blankly at him without speaking. At that moment, she seemed to be overwhelmed by unspeakable fear, and her whole body was stiff.

But that fear only existed for a second, and the next moment, Li Xi pushed back the brim of his hat, and the wide brim of the hat covered half of his face, only his soft red lips were slightly curved. His voice is still soft and gentle: "No girl chases me."

He turned his head, seemed to glance at Duan Zhen, and turned his head just because of embarrassment: "I like men."

Although their voices were very low, the file room was not very big, and there was only the rustling of pages turning, so his words could be heard clearly by others.

Duan Zhen's hand flipping through the book froze for a few seconds.

"Don't talk about it, let's find clues." Li Xi seemed not to want to mention this matter again, and urged in a low voice: "This task is best completed at night...but it doesn't matter with your strength."

"Your spiritual sense seems to be very accurate." Xia Qirong showed a curious look: "Shan Zuo can't do it, I can only get a rough idea... Oh, Shan Zuo is a spiritual sense person in our team, and he didn't play the dungeon with us this time. .”

"My level of spiritual perception is relatively high." Li Xi said vaguely: "I had some opportunities back then."

They were talking here, but they didn't notice that Yao Jiu was standing in the corner with his back to a few people, clenching his teeth, with a gloomy expression.

Ever since he almost dragged Li Xi down the stairs, the people in the team seemed to be unable to see him. Even though he was still protected in the team, no one spoke to him anymore, and even if he tried to strike up a conversation, he would be ignored.

He just did that kind of thing accidentally because of fear, he is a newcomer, incompetent, isn't it normal to be scared, but those people look like he is a drag bottle, just like in school, No one wants to be friends with him, even class activities do not take him, but they have to make a hypocritical face, saying that his body is not suitable.

It's just that I think he can't exercise vigorously, and I think it's a burden to carry him.

Yao Jiu was secretly annoyed, she clenched her hands tightly, and her chest began to hurt.

He took a deep breath, but couldn't calm down.

After staying in the archives room for about ten minutes, Duan Zhen gathered everyone together, and spread out several files on the table.

"I checked the archives and records of the last ten years. From a certain point in time ten years ago, all kinds of strange things began to happen in this school, and it couldn't end in the end." Duan Zhen clicked on a few books on the desktop. file.

Li Xi had already run over at this time, leaned close to him again, stared at his fingertips on the file, and nodded with an expression of approval, but actually didn't listen to anything.

"Rich."

"Rich?"

Someone lightly pressed the brim of his hat.

"Ah?" Li Xi looked blankly at the fingertip raised up and pressed it on his hat: "What's wrong?"

"Which next action is more appropriate." Duan Zhen looked down at him: "Were you listening just now?"

Li Xi blinked and lied without blushing: "I'm listening, if you want to complete the task as soon as possible, just go outside."

He pointed his finger at the ground: "Anyway, now that the cause and effect are clear, it is the fastest way to directly solve the culprit that caused the school's resentment."

"The culprit..." Duan Zhen was noncommittal: "According to the current clues, she was the original victim."

"She was indeed a victim, but the retaliation suffered by this school afterwards was too much." Li Xi said after thinking about Xiao Baihua's train of thought. After finishing speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Duan Zhen, only to find that the other side's face was pale, showing no joy or anger.

Is it wrong?

Li Xi pushed it again according to Xiao Baihua's logic, but found no problem.

At this time, Duan Zhen had already directed the others to go downstairs, and seeing him standing still, he stretched out his hand to grab his wrist: "It's time to go."

The hand was cold, and the thin wrist was like ice, Duan Zhen frowned: "Why is it so cold, are you feeling unwell?"

Li Xi opened his mouth and uttered a weak monosyllable.

Duan Zhen didn't hear what he said, and took a step forward: "Did you use too much strength, don't hold on if you feel uncomfortable."

He reached out to touch Li Xi's forehead, it was also cold.

"It's okay." Li Xi was shocked, wanted to back off but was reluctant, so he whispered: "My body is relatively weak, and my body temperature drops quickly, it's nothing, let's go quickly, don't waste time."

Duan Zhen frowned and didn't speak. After thinking for a few seconds, he took off his coat and put it on him, wrapping him up: "It will be colder later, wear it well, it's not fun to catch a cold here."

In this world, anything that leads to a decline in state may become the fuse of death.

Li Xi felt that his wrist was let go, and the warmth was gone, he subconsciously stretched out his hand, folded back halfway and wrapped himself in the other party's coat, retracted half of his face into the collar, and sniffed quietly.

It is a faint smell of mint and tobacco, and the familiar smell lingers around, as if leaning against Duan Zhen's arms.

He followed Duan Zhen, lowered his head, and tried his best to restrain himself so that he didn't let himself become hot.

"I still feel that something is wrong." Xia Qirong whispered next to Sun Le.

Sun Le didn't speak, his eyes swept over Li Xi.

Don't look at Xia Qirong's ability to talk, but in fact he has no "actual combat" experience, and Duan Zhen is the same. He has been in the army all year round, and his aura is cold. Few people dare to approach him, so they can't see clearly. Richie's intentions.

Sun Le is older than them and has experience in love. Although he didn't notice it at first, after Xia Qirong mentioned it repeatedly, after careful observation, he realized that after so many years, finally someone not only dared to play Duan Zhen's idea, but was able to Put into practice.

It's a pity that the captain doesn't seem to have that kind of meaning at all.
