“Are you going to say that it was a human after seeing that face?” Asked the demon ghost.
“I just want to say that if the other party really has a physical body, don’t treat it as a ghost. Treat it as a normal monster and it won’t be so scary.” Feng bujue replied in a relaxed tone.
“Tsk … If it wasn’t for the restrictions, it wouldn’t be a problem even if there were a hundred of them.” Ghost hunter curled his lips and read.
That was the truth. If he had the support of the “data view”, even in the dark, he would be able to clearly know the specific location and strength of the monsters. Then, there would be nothing to be afraid of.
“Nonsense, if there was no limit, you were prepared to take the five of us to clear the game, right?” Feng bujue spread his hands and continued,”that kind of hypothesis is meaningless now … But in my personal opinion,’adapting’ and ‘overcoming’ is the most interesting part of this game. The more limited the dungeon is, the more interesting it is.”
As he spoke, he reached out and took out a second flashlight from the wooden bookcase, and showed it to his teammates.
“Okay, back to the topic …” Two seconds later, brother Jue continued,”there are six flashlights in the bookcase …” He paused and raised his head to look at the fluorescent tube that was no longer glowing.”If I’m not mistaken, the light will not light up again, so … We’ll have to rely on these flashlights to see.”
“Ah …” Xiao Tan dragged out a long sigh.”I hate this kind of situation where my vision is limited.”
Even though he said that, he was the first one to step forward and take the flashlight from brother Jue.
Dasha
Once he got the flashlight, Xiao Tan turned it on and immediately scanned the classroom to see if there was anything scary hiding in the dark.
“Are you done with the confirmation?” Feng bujue asked after he finished scanning the room.
“Yes.” Xiao Tan nodded.
“Then close it.” Brother Jue said.
“Ha?” Xiao Tan was stunned.
“Ha what ha?” “Do you know how long a flashlight’s battery can last?” Feng bujue asked. If the six of us drive it together, what if we’re all wiped out in twenty minutes?”
“Er …” Xiao Tan thought about it and then turned off his flashlight.
While they were conversing, RUO Yu and the other three girls had also come forward to retrieve their flashlights. Hearing brother Jue’s words, everyone knew what to do. They only turned on the flashlight to see if it worked and then turned it off.
“From now on, we’ll take turns to turn on the flashlight to provide light.” After everyone picked up their flashlights, Feng bujue added,”I’ll be the first one. When my flashlight is out of power, someone else will be in charge of the light.”
“Wait …” Ling interrupted.”Doesn’t that mean that everyone’s eyes will have to follow the circle of light from the same flashlight?”
“Yes,” Feng bujue replied,”so, I would like to add a few more conditions …” Naturally, he had already come up with an answer to the question that Xiao Ling posed.”When you feel something strange in the dark, when you leave the team under certain circumstances, or when you are splitting up to search … Everyone can turn on their flashlight as necessary.” He paused for a moment.”As for now …” He raised the flashlight and shone it on his face from bottom to top, creating the lighting effect of a horror movie. He smiled and said,”everyone, please follow me and look over there …”
He changed the direction of the flashlight again and shone the light at the window where the strange face had appeared. Everyone’s eyes followed the light.
“Look at the window.” Feng bujue was afraid that someone might not have seen it clearly, so he added.
On the narrow windowsill, a flashing dot had appeared. Upon closer inspection, one could see that it was a key.
“It’s the key!” The demon ghost excitedly shouted the moment it recognized the item.
“Oh, you’re quite excited.” Brother Jue took the opportunity to add,”then, can you please go and bring it over?”
“Why … Why do I have to go?” In a second, the demon ghost slipped away.
“Because someone has to go.” Feng bujue said,”even if I said that I was going to help you clear the nightmare Mode, I’m not helping you with your training, right? You can’t just win without doing anything, right?”
“Oh …” GUI Xiao responded and said something else,”then I should thank you for your training and guidance?”
“You’re welcome,” Feng bujue continued the man’s sentence without any pressure.”I’ve already felt your endless gratitude from your sincere eyes. Now … Go get the key and stop wasting my battery.”
“Hmph …” GUI Xiao snorted angrily, but he still went …
Even though brother Jue’s tone was mocking, what he said made sense. As a member of the team, it was only right for ghost hunter to contribute. Since he didn’t help much in the “puzzle-solving” part, then in the “adventure” part … He had to do it.
Step by step, the demon ghost cautiously approached the window.
It was still dark outside the window. The light from the flashlight was swallowed by the thick darkness ahead after it passed through the glass.
If at that moment, a scary face suddenly popped out from behind the window, ghost hunter would most likely jump up in fright.
Fortunately … That kind of situation did not happen.
When the demon ghost was near the window, it suddenly accelerated, leaned forward, closed its eyes, and grabbed the key … Then it turned around and ran back to the others.
“Here!” When he passed the key to Feng bujue, ghost hunter read the word out loud. His pride was beyond words.
“What are you so smug about … It took you so much effort to get the key.” Feng bujue narrowed his eyes and poured another bucket of cold water on his teammate.
After watering, he didn’t give the other party any room to refute and immediately said,”Anyway … Let’s try the nearest one first.”
According to the hint he had received before, there were only two places in the classroom that needed to be opened with a “key.” The first was the storage space inside the podium, and the second was the nine storage cabinets at the side of the classroom.
The ‘closer one’ that brother Jue was referring to was obviously the podium.
嗞——
The key that ghost hunter had brought over was smoothly inserted into the keyhole on the inner panel of the podium.
The next second, Feng bujue still turned the key without hesitation and opened the door.
Then … A black lump appeared before everyone’s eyes.
“Ahoho!” When an Yueqin saw the lump on the podium, she couldn’t help but scream.
When she screamed, Xiao Tan and ghost hunter, who were relatively timid, shivered in fear.
“What … What’s the situation?” Xiao Tan immediately asked.
“Don’t panic,” Feng bujue seemed to be telling his teammates the same thing.”It’s just hair.” As he spoke, he took out a big lump of long black hair from the podium … And put it on the podium.
“What the f * ck?” GUI Xiao’s scalp was numb.”What the hell is this …”
Hearing that, brother Jue smiled and said,”It’s not a ghost, it’s a wig.”
“Pfft, pfft, pfft.” For some reason, RUO Yu burst into laughter after he said that.
She looked good when she smiled, but at that moment … Other than brother Jue, no one understood what she was laughing at. The others could only sense the faint eeriness in her smile.
“From everyone’s expression, you don’t seem to be willing to touch this thing.” After handing out the fake set, Feng bujue added,”then I will be responsible for keeping and carrying this item.”
“Carry?” Ghost hunter was getting more and more shocked. Even though he had fought brother Jue before and watched his matches, he had never queued with brother Jue in a team dungeon. That day, it was his first time seeing Feng bujue’s performance in a horror scenario up close.”Why are you wearing this?”
“Do you even need to ask?” As Feng bujue said that, he placed his hand on the hair and purposely showed his teammates the item’s information.
[Name: strange long hair]
[Type: Plot related]
[Rarity: normal]
Function: unknown
[Able to bring out of the scenario: yes]
[Remark: human hair. No one knows why it was placed here.]
“Look, this is ‘plot-related item that can be taken out of the scenario’. In other words … We might be able to use this to trigger some hidden plot.” “Even if it’s not triggered,” Feng bujue added,”you can still bring it out and turn it into a puzzle card.” He paused for half a second and added,”and … Hair is very tough. If you need a rope later, you can just braid this hair and use it as a rope.”
“You can’t even tie your shoelaces properly, and you’re still thinking about weaving?” Before brother Jue could finish, RUO Yu suddenly said,”
It had to be said that this was a very sharp statement …
“Can’t I just say it? Can’t I?” Brother Jue immediately howled in anger.
At the same time, Xiao Ling lowered her voice and whispered into Xiao Tan’s ear,”I feel like … Cousin and brother Jue’s relationship is better than before …”
“How do you know that?” Xiao Tan also whispered back.”Why do I feel like these two are just getting deeper and deeper into some kind of strange domain …”
“Okay, okay … It’s up to you whether you want to bring it or not. I don’t care if you weave it into a rope or not.” Ghost hunter, who did not know much about brother Jue’s situation, got down to business.”Is there anything else on the podium?”
“Yes, there are two more.” Feng bujue replied and pulled out a key and a piece of yellowed paper from the podium.
The size of the key looked small, and the first impression it gave was that it was not used to open the door. The players naturally thought that it was the key to one of the boxes on the storage cabinet.
As for the yellowed piece of paper …
“There are vertical lines on both sides, but there is no page number. Combined with the size and the thickness of the paper …” Feng bujue raised the paper to an angle that everyone could see and shone the flashlight on it. “This piece of paper should have been torn from the homework.”
“Looking at the handwriting … It’s most likely written by an elementary school student.” Ling added after staring at the words for a few seconds.
“Looking at the content … It seems to be a diary?” An Yueqin read,”Oh right … Are there any words on the back?”
“There’s nothing else,” When Feng bujue replied, he turned the paper over for his teammates to see and then turned back to the side with the words.
“Then … The hints are all concentrated on the front, right?” The demon ghost said and began to read the contents of the paper.
[May 13th, sunny.]
[During lunch break today, the warehouse opposite the principal’s office suddenly caught fire.]
[The teacher immediately organized us to come to the field as per the evacuation drill.]
[The firefighters arrived very quickly and put out the fire in the warehouse.]
[I saw them carrying a person out of the fire on a stretcher and sending him to the ambulance. Although I don’t know who he is, I hope he’s fine.]
“Because of the fire, the afternoon class was canceled. After we returned to the classroom, the teacher told us to pack our bags and go home.”
[Before I got home, I realized that I haven’t seen miss Suzuki since lunch break.]
[I asked the teacher where miss Suzuki went, and the teacher said that he had gone home first.]
[I’m relieved to hear that. For a moment, I thought that miss Suzuki had been burned by the fire.]
[But miss Suzuki’s memory is really bad. In the morning, he forgot to bring the key to his locker, so he left the flute in my locker. After school, he forgot to take the flute again and went home.]
[Forget it. I’ll return it to him tomorrow.]
[Year 2 class A, hideji Noguchi.]
The diary was written from top to bottom, from right to left. Almost all of the entries were written in Hiraga (a type of phonetic character used in Japanese), and there were very few Chinese characters (but the system had its own translation).
No matter if it was the terms, handwriting, or language organization, it did look like the handwriting of a primary school student.
“Noguchi-san, sit in the Kasaya … That is, on my left.” Feng bujue waited for about a minute, and after he judged that his teammates had finished reading the paper, he said,”he is the student that I mentioned earlier, the one who disappeared on May 14th. According to the newspaper … No one has seen him since he left home on the morning of the 14th. ”
“Hmm …” Xiao Tan’s face was pale.”There are no words on the back of this paper, which means … The entry that No. 13 wrote is Noguchi’s last entry, right?”
“Say no more …” Ghost hunter said in a trembling voice.”According to the diary … He must have been tricked by Suzuki’s spirit! In the end, he even died without a corpse. ”
“Hehe …” Feng bujue suddenly laughed coldly and used the flashlight to flash his face with a scary light.”What ‘dead without a body’? isn’t that a little too careless?”
“You …” GUI Xiao stammered,”…What are you going to say?”
“Hehe …” Brother Jue laughed maliciously and then shone the flashlight on the storage cabinet at the back of the classroom.”Perhaps … We’ll see his body soon.”
