Something flashed through Cheng Miao's mind, but before he could catch it, he was interrupted by the aunt's shout.
"Young man, do you know something? Then you didn't tell me last night!"
Qian Ming was completely different from last night when he was next to Qiao Jin. He looked at his aunt with a playful smile, "Then you're back too."
"Then the other one didn't come back!"
"I only figured it out later. I'm not sure how I can tell you. If I make a mistake, wouldn't it be me who killed you?"
The aunt was speechless after being spoken to, and looked at the others unwillingly, hoping that someone would help her speak.
Sadly not.
Everyone knows that this is a life-and-death game. There is no need for humility or special treatment. It is already good if you don't intentionally harm others.
Seeing that there was no one to support her, the aunt withered and stopped talking.
Cheng Miao probably figured out a clue, looked at the few people in Class 1, Grade 3, who were still looking at him eagerly, and patted Qi Jiajia on the head, "Go to class first, and we'll talk about it after class."
With the experience of the previous two days, no one dared to desert in class, let alone make any illegal actions. This day was passed without any danger.
The players met at noon. Cheng Miao saw that Qiao Jin and the others obviously had no intention of being puzzle solvers, so he had no choice but to do it himself.
"I probably know the rules of the night. It's the second reminder of the dungeon. When the fake becomes the real, the real is also fake. It can be understood that if the opposites of true and false are unified, then we have to do everything in reverse."
"What you mentioned, the monster with inverted joints and backward head in the laboratory, and the backward figure that Qian Ming encountered yesterday, are all reminders to us that the rules of night are reversed."
Cheng Miao looked at the player. Lin Zhu and Qi Jiajia reacted quickly. Cheng Miao just mentioned the prompt and the two of them figured it out.
Xiao Freckles and Chen Yu were slower and understood following Cheng Miao's explanation. The remaining Lao Yu, the aunt, and the old man looked at me and I looked at you. Cheng Miao could only explain in more detail.
"In the laboratory, normal people will be scared when they see something like that and want to run away. This will trigger the rules and kill people. The only way to survive is if you don't hide and go against normal people's psychology."
Old Yu looked stunned, "Is it that simple?"
Qi Jiajia rolled her eyes and looked at Lao Yu up and down, "It's easy to say, can you do it?"
Lao Yu stopped talking. This rule seemed simple, but it was more difficult to follow than the rule during the day.
Human instinct is to preserve life and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. It is not easy to go against human instinct or even do the opposite.
The aunt was patting her chest to calm down. Who would have thought that she was so scared that she could not move but saved her life last night.
"But, didn't you say that there are no ghosts in this copy?" Old Yu seemed to be more than ten years older, and his back was stooped.
Cheng Miao looked at Qin Musong, who nodded, "My weapon can make ghosts appear if they hit them. I just violently cleared the level the night before yesterday, but I didn't hit anything."
Cheng Miao pondered for a moment, "Have you ever felt that... what happens at night is very similar to what happens in a dream?"
Qi Jiajia bit her finger and tilted her head like a beautiful doll. Qiao Jin smiled at her and received a blank look.
"Yes, don't you always say that dreams are always the opposite?"
Lin Zhu nodded and accepted the words, "And what we experienced has no cause or consequences. It appeared out of thin air. It is just like a dream."
Cheng Miao concluded, "The clues we got during the day all point to a dream Tan Tao had. At night, this dream will come true."
Qin Musong looked at the team with sharp eyes. The team was like a sapling. Although it had just sprouted, it had strong vitality and cohesion and would eventually grow into a towering tree.
Qiao Jin also sighed in his heart. Although Cheng Miao took them a while to think of the rules, he could analyze them without personally experiencing the dream at night.
And I heard from Lin Zhu that Cheng Miao had only passed three dungeons, so the prospects of this small group would be very bright.
Qiao Jin retracted her thoughts and dropped another bombshell in an understatement, "We found traces of the practice in the dean's room."
Only Cheng Miao, Chen Yu and Xiao Freckles knew this news yesterday, and everyone else showed incredulous expressions.
"What... how?" Lin Zhu was stunned. He originally thought it was a supernatural story about a good student's ghost, but why did it suddenly involve a method?
"I have done a task before, I have seen him, and I have relevant experience." Qiao Jin said lightly, "I asked Xiao Ming to check it out today, and I haven't found the teaching director since this morning."
Cheng Miao estimated the time and found that there were 20 minutes between classes in the afternoon. She could use this time to go to the dean's office to look for clues.
They were invited by the dean to help, so it would make sense even if they were discovered.
"So far, no one has died today. Everyone must remember the patterns discovered a few days ago."
Cheng Miao reminded her again when the team disbanded. Now everyone in the team knows that although this girl often has a cold face, she may be the only one among the old players who cares about whether others can survive.
After the first class, Cheng Miao was sitting in his seat writing. He glanced at the sleepy Ma Yuan next to him and suddenly had an idea.
"Ma Yuan, do you know the gossip about our dean?" Ma Yuan was woken up by Cheng Miao's voice and was about to get angry, but when he saw Cheng Miao's dark brown eyes looking at him like water in his eyes, he was filled with tears. The fire was suddenly gone.
"What gossip?"
"I heard that the director seems to be very kind to Tan Tao, but I don't know why." Cheng Miao looked carefree, but his eyes were fixed on Ma Yuan's expression.
Sure enough, when Tan Tao's best friend heard this, his eyes were stunned and evasive for a moment, and then returned to normal, "No, it's normal for Tan Tao to have good grades and be liked by the teacher."
Cheng Miao wanted to ask again, but the big boy from the sports department yelled that it was time to go to class and ran away before going to the bathroom.
Ma Yuan was a physical education student and never came back once he left. It seemed that this person knew something. Cheng Miao had to go to the dean's office between classes, so he could only ask Qiao Jin and the others to find it.
Cheng Miao brought Lin Zhu and Qi Jiajia to the dean's office. When he opened the door, he discovered that this room had been transformed into a single dormitory by the dean. It seems that I am very busy at work and spend a lot of time resting here.
Qi Jia's beauty was not easily discovered. She stood guard at the door while Cheng Miao and Lin Zhu entered the room quietly.
This is a slightly simple office. There is a single bed and bookcases in the compartment inside, and teaching materials are on the table outside.
The cabinets were all locked. Cheng Miao didn't have time to find someone who knew how to open the locks. He took out a dagger and chopped at the locks.
The fishbone dagger has a blade after the last upgrade, and it can be said to be very sharp now. There is no big problem with the saw handle lock.
While Cheng Miao and Suo were struggling, Lin Zhu was rummaging around the room for clues. Suddenly he tilted his head, as if he had overlooked something.
After looking back for a moment, Lin Zhu's blood rushed to the top of his head.
In the corner where he had been rummaging just now, there was a pair of black high heels lying quietly.
