There is nothing unusual about the people and scenery in the mirror, or in other words, they look no different from the environment Lu Ning is in now. But if you look carefully, you will find a thin layer of ice condensing on the edge of the sink in the mirror, and it just looks a little moist because of the accumulation of water vapor.

"The temperature over there is lower than here, much lower. It's just that I can't see clearly the scenery outside the window even if I adjust the angle, which is even more problematic." Ning Yeyi pointed to the scenery in the mirror, "Although here The glass is frosted, but the effect in the mirror is a bit too blurry, and I doubt we can see the outside world over there in this world."

"What if we take a mirror out?" Yan Rong suddenly asked.

"Huh? I don't know..."

"Then give it a try."

Yan Rong smashed open the mirror next to him with a stick and took a large piece of it. Her behavior was no longer surprising to Lu Ning and Ning Yeyi, and they even began to adapt to Yan Rong's way of acting.

"We can't stay here longer. We'd better leave first. It took us too long to come in." Lu Ning said, lifting the door panel that was first removed, and the three of them carried the door out of the bathroom together.

Qin Yulou outside stood by the window in the corridor and kept staring at the situation here.

"What's going on? I heard someone yelling."

"Something went wrong. Let everyone gather first. We need to share and verify some information." Lu Ning nodded at him, and Qin Yulou came over consciously. He was taller and could take away the entire door panel alone.

On the other side, Cang Su and Xu Jianqi found tools for Rong Han, and they were removing usable parts from the tables and chairs. The materials of the tables and chairs here were somewhat fragile because they had been left in a humid environment for a long time, so everyone dismantled a bunch of them without much effort.

"Everyone, something happened over there." Yan Rong burst through the door and reminded everyone loudly. Rong Han stopped moving his hands, raised his head and asked, "What happened?"

Ning Yeyi explained the matter concisely, especially the strange way of death of the man, which was obviously an important reminder in the scene.

"Besides... Mr. Rong is a teacher, right? Then you should have your current school ID card. Can you show it for us to compare?" Lu Ning took out Xu Hong's ID card and showed it.

Of course Rong Han didn't mind, and took out his card. The appearance of the two cards was indeed different, and the date of issuance on Rong Han's card was eight years ago, which meant that Xu Hong was at least eight years ago. People.

"But how did he survive?"

Xu Jianqi asked his doubts.

"Even if there are things stored in this school, they should not be able to save for eight years. If the other person died so easily, how could he survive for so long?"

"We are facing the same problem now." Lu Ning said.

At this time, Zhou Weiyuan suddenly asked: "Did you find anything else?"

"A handaxe and a needle."

"Needle?"

Lu Ning took out the syringe, and Zhou Weiyuan looked at it and suddenly became interested: "This is a chemistry classroom. Some chemical reagents that are sealed and stored can still be used. Can you test these things for me?"

There's no problem with this. Lu Ning can't conduct relevant verifications herself anyway. The pharmacy knowledge she retains does not include chemical experiments.

Zhou Weiyuan happily took the syringe and ran to the experimental table on the side. Qin Yulou took over the help here. He was good at mechanisms, and this kind of simple work was not difficult for him. Soon, a few simple tasks The wooden baffle is made.

Once the things for going out are done, the next problem is all kinds of weird solutions.

"The first is Xu Hong's death. This is the most threatening issue to our lives. Although he sounds like he is mentally disturbed, if he is not, it means that he has encountered some kind of monster and is being chased by this monster." Lu Ning The analysis began, "Xu Hong had no obvious injuries on his body. He started to melt after he left the toilet cubicle and found it raining outside. Is that because the cubicle is a safe zone or because of the subjective perception of 'rainy days'?" 'And led to his death?"

If it's the former, then it's still a relatively easy scene, but if it's the latter... then the difficulty of the entire scene will instantly rise to an unattainable level.

After all, tourists' biggest reliance has always been to use their knowledge to investigate and solve various problems, and the danger of cognitive death is simply the nemesis of this method of action.

"I think... it's best to be careful first. We've stayed here for so long and still have nothing to do, which means we're not afraid of rainy days, but there may be other weather conditions," Ning Yeyi said.

Several people thought of the low-temperature world in the mirror.

"There are more than one overlapping worlds. People with certain attributes will die instantly when entering another world... Is that what you think?" Zhou Weiyuan suddenly spoke, and everyone turned to look at him.

This time he was a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and continued the experiment while saying: "But there are two issues involved. One is what are the attributes we have been given, and the other is which world corresponds to immediate death. Of course. , if we expand on it, we have to consider how to avoid entering the world of instant death, and whether Xu Hong's death was entered by mistake or was forced to switch."

"There are too many things to consider." Lu Ning said, "We haven't even started exploration yet, everything is still unknown. We need exact information, what is happening here, and what is between the spaces. How to switch, this is the information we urgently need right now."

While everyone was thinking, Yan Rong walked to the window, took out the mirror, opened the window and took a look outside, and then shook his head with some disappointment.

"What's wrong?"

"It's just an ordinary mirror now... No!" Yan Rong noticed a shaking in the corner of the mirror, and immediately turned his head to look at reality. In the shadow formed by the last row of experimental tables and reagent cabinets in the classroom, a pair of eyes were looking from Slowly emerging from the shadows.

"Hey! What is that?" Yan Rong immediately pointed the stick at the place where his eyes appeared, but was shocked to find that a layer of cold air had condensed on the stick.

No... what is reflected in the mirror is reality, or the world of heavy rain?

Yan Rong's reaction speed was extremely fast. He immediately realized the problem. He immediately threw away the fragment of mirror in his hand, turned around and stabbed himself behind with a stick.

If you were pulled in, then who was it that asked you just now?

Click.

The stick pierced the air behind him, but it poked a crack. Yan Rong saw countless eyes from the "shards" like half-broken spider webs, staring at him with evil will, and this seemed to be just a moment. Hallucination, the whole world collapsed into countless fragments. Yan Rong found himself still standing in front of the window, holding the fragment of the mirror in his hand, but a hole had been poked in the fragment.

Click.

The mirror fragments cracked and shattered in his hands. Yan Rong threw away the remains and then looked at everyone still in the classroom. Everyone seemed to be still thinking about the important situation Lu Ning just raised. No one noticed that he suddenly entered. The mirror world?

"What on earth is that thing?" No matter how brave Yan Rong was, she still felt a chill. The countless dense eyeballs were engraved in her memory like a nightmare. Fortunately, it was her, otherwise it would have been someone else. I'm afraid I can't even maintain my composure.

"Everyone, did anything strange happen here just now?" Yan Rong calmed down and asked.

"Huh? Something strange?" Lu Ning raised her head, and then noticed the broken mirror at Yan Rong's feet, and immediately asked: "Have you been attacked in any way?"

"Just now I wanted to see if the mirror could see the outside from here. When I looked into the mirror, I entered the world over there. I reacted quickly and escaped." Yan Rong frowned and said, "But I'm not sure whether this is a mirror. Did the monster create an illusion or was it really briefly pulled into another world, so I’m asking you if you noticed anything unusual.”

"You have been here all the time." Zhou Weiyuan said, "You are blocking the window, so the light is a little bit dark. If you suddenly disappear and reappear, I will notice it here."

"It's better to inform everyone in advance next time what you're going to do." Rong Han said, "Anyway, the rainproof things are ready, and we can go out."

The flaps are made to snap onto the shoulder so that they don't take up one hand. It's just that the board has to take into account that there are so many people and it's not very big. It can only cover the top of the head, but there is nothing that can be done about the arms and the like.

After the eight people finished dressing, Ning Yeyi wrapped his notebook in his coat as a barely protective measure against the rain, and then returned to the door of the teaching building together.

The seal was still sealed. This time Ning Yeyi used the ax to break the seal, and then tried the door lock. Unexpectedly, the ax was really sharp. It broke the door lock in a few blows. Yan Rong and Qin Yulou kicked it open after a few more kicks. .

"By the way, Zhou Weiyuan, what's in that needle?" Lu Ning asked.

"It is basically certain that there are no common toxins, and the content of various trace elements in it seems to be relatively rich. I think it is a kind of medicine."

"Didn't we find out nothing?"

"Although I said there are still some usable reagents, there are not many of them." Zhou Weiyuan couldn't laugh or cry. "I have tried my best to test them. If nothing else, there are too few of them."

Disappointment is a disappointment. In fact, this is an expected result. If you go up to the third level of difficulty, many secrets will be revealed, which will not hinder the level of advanced tourists.

============

Looking at the few people walking out of the teaching building, two figures appeared by the window of a classroom on the third floor.

"He wasn't killed by Old Man Hidden Mirror...but that's to be expected. After all, the attack speed was too slow." One person said.

"It doesn't matter, they didn't find anything, so that's not bad. It's better for us to kill them ourselves than to be killed by the monsters here."

"Monsters? Do you use this name to call those things?"

"We have to find a collective name."

"...Okay, which direction did they leave from?"

"The closest one should be the floating lecture hall, E2. In this world, it should be the territory of Green Lake."

“Green Lake is not very aggressive.”

"Then are we going to take action?"

"No, it would be a joke if we were counterattacked. There are quite a few of those people who are good at this."

After that, the two of them left the window.

=============

After walking for a while in the heavy rain, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.

Tourists are not particularly concerned about the environment, but the rainy days here are really bad. Except for the covered heads, other places were quickly wet by the rain. As the heaviness gradually increased, the moisture also increased. Quickly takes away people's physical strength.

Lu Ning now felt that what she was breathing was water. This feeling of water condensing in her nose was very uncomfortable and always made her feel like she was about to suffocate.

"There is a building ahead." Yan Rong suddenly spoke, "According to the map, we have probably reached the location of the floating lecture hall. Do you want to go in and take a rest?"

"I agree." Zhou Weiyuan nodded, "The weather is really terrible."

"Be careful, there may be monsters." Rong Han warned.

The Water Lecture Hall is not a large building. About half of its area extends to a small landscape lake on campus, hence its name. There is only the main lecture hall on the first floor, and the rest are places like bathrooms, control rooms, backstage, and lounges. Because of these functions, they are often used for students to hold parties.

Now, of course, it's a refuge.

The door was not sealed like the previous teaching building. Yan Rong opened the door easily. It was dark and quiet inside, just like the situation many times in this scene.

"Excuse me." Cang Su bowed quickly as soon as he entered the door, then took off his wet coat and began to wring out the moisture inside. The rest of the people are also trying to keep themselves dry, but even if it is not a low-temperature world, the weather is relatively cold. It really feels cold no matter what.

"I'll go in and take a look."

Yan Rong didn't particularly care about this matter and came in intending to explore. Zhou Weiyuan immediately stood up and said that he needed a companion for exploration. The two quickly reached an agreement and walked into the lecture hall.

Lu Ning was not going to go there. The total area here was just a large classroom plus some small rooms, which was almost unobstructed. With two people searching, it was enough for everyone to just watch here.

But not long after the two left, Lu Ning suddenly heard something special mixed in with the rain outside, like the sound of a fish's tail cutting through the water when it was swimming on the surface.

"Everyone, we seem to be in trouble." She didn't care whether it was an illusion or not, so she gave a warning first.

"Um?"

Lu Ning stood up and looked outside the door, but found nothing unusual. Then he quickly looked around and found that it was still quiet.

Until she returned her gaze to the ground.

After the eight people came in, they started to drain the water. Except for Yan Rong and Zhou Weiyuan who left immediately, there was a water stain on the ground. It has now turned into a small puddle. When Lu Ning looked over, there were splashes in the puddle. A circle of concentric circles formed, and then began to rapidly expand outward.

"At your feet!" This was the only thing Lu Ning had time to shout.
