The dean's action of jumping off the building was unexpected and too fast. Even Qin Musong couldn't get him back.
Everyone gathered around the window. On the bottom of the building was the body of the dean, with a large blood stain spread out, like a blooming flower, with an untimely glamour.
"We...does this count as solving the source of the curse?"
Chen Yu looked at the corpse blankly, still a little disbelieving. She thought there would be a tough battle to fight, and she was prepared that she might not be able to go back. She didn't expect it to be that simple.
Little Freckles tilted his head, took off his shirt, knelt on the ground and wiped the bloody formation into a blur.
"That should be enough. Without the formation, the person who cast the spell no longer exists, so does the curse also disappear?"
Xiao Freckles wiped his forehead with the back of his hand. There was a little blood on his forehead. Chen Yu took out a tissue from his pocket and knelt down to wipe Xiao Freckles' face.
"She jumped off the building probably because the incident was revealed and she was devastated. As an NPC, she is still a human being and cannot deal with so many of us." Qiao Jin looked at the office she came to for the second time. "But lifting the curse does not seem to be the ultimate goal. , because we are still here.”
There was a moment of depression in the atmosphere. Yes, even if the instigator committed suicide by jumping off the building, they are still here and the game is not over.
"There are two possibilities," Cheng Miao said while arranging her thoughts, speaking slowly. Fortunately, the remaining people were patient enough to listen to her. "One is that the dean's resentment is too great, even if she is cursed to die. It won’t dissipate.”
"There is another possibility. Do you still remember what the prompt sound said when you entered the dungeon?"
Qi Jiajia saw Cheng Miao looking at her and unconsciously pushed up the joystick. She didn't realize that everyone was looking at her as if they were watching an original vicious dog being trained by Cheng Miao into a loyal dog. She replied: "Players please survive in the dungeon." Four days to clear the copy.”
Cheng Miao nodded. Both Qi Jiajia and Lin Zhu were the kind of people with good memories and very cautious people. However, Lin Zhu was born out of personality, and Qi Jiajia was driven by his crazy path and needed to be cautious in the early stage.
"The copy requires us to survive for four days, and now there is half of the last day left."
Qiao Jin's face looked a little ugly, and she added, "It means we need to find a way to really leave the dungeon, and then leave at night."
"Do you have any ideas?" Qiao Jin looked at Cheng Miao. This was a newcomer she liked very much. She didn't like him because she wanted to form a team, but she just admired him and hoped that she could go further.
Cheng Miao smiled bitterly, "Don't you have an idea?"
Qiao Jin rarely became childish, and she pouted, "I want to hear what you have to say."
Cheng Miao was helpless, "I think it may have something to do with the rules at night. We won't know the details until tonight."
Cheng Miao looked at the two girls hugging each other and said, "Now there are only three of us left at night. We will be very dangerous tonight. We must remember the rules we summarized before. In the end, don't be careless."
The two girls nodded, their different faces showing the same desire and resilience to live.
The time spent waiting for the night was particularly long. When everyone returned to the dormitory, they were still timid, "How about we don't go back? What if we miss the time and we can no longer live without the copy?"
Now Cheng Miao, Chen Yu and Xiao Freckles are the only ones who have not experienced nightmares at night. Lin Zhuhe is very worried that if the situation changes, they will not be able to help Cheng Miao.
"Cheng Miao, why are you still here?" The squad leader ran out of the boys' dormitory and saw a group of people gathering at the bottom of the dormitory building. He couldn't help but ask.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yu and Xiao Freckles asked together, almost turning into conjoined twins.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Fortunately, I met him, otherwise I would have had to make another trip. There is a Qi Watch against Tan Tao at the basketball gym tonight, and everyone is going."
Realizing that they did not need to separate, Chen Yu and Lin Zhu both breathed a sigh of relief, one for themselves and the other for Cheng Miao.
When the players arrived at the gym, almost half of the gym was full. There were no lights on, and everyone held a candle. It looked both crowded and dangerous.
Lin Zhu's hand holding the candle almost convulsed, for fear that the candle would fall and cause a fire.
Cheng Miao's face remained calm under the firelight. He couldn't hide from those who were about to come. Only the last three people were left in the nightmare. He didn't know what the pattern was.
I don't know whether it was because of being too nervous or just being really tired, Cheng Miao was so dazed that she actually fell asleep holding the candle.
"Miaomiao, wake up."
Cheng Miao was sleeping soundly when she felt someone pushing her. She subconsciously clenched the candle in her hand, but she woke up in an instant.
The candle in my hand is gone.
Cheng Miao suddenly raised her eyes, her sharp eyes suddenly froze when she met the person opposite. This is... her home?
Cheng's mother was stunned by Cheng Miao's sharp and slightly murderous eyes. She raised her hand and patted her chest, complaining: "This child has such scary eyes!"
Cheng Miao said nothing and sat up. He was in his room.
The quilt smells of sunshine and home, the alarm clock on the bedside table points to half past eleven, and my cat is walking back and forth on the bed with small steps.
"It's almost twelve o'clock, get up and eat quickly!" Cheng's mother left the house without saying anything, "I came back so late from playing yesterday, and I stayed in bed again today."
Cheng Miao had a headache, so she rubbed her temples with her hands.
Yes, the last memory she remembered in real life was that she went out for a drink with her friends, and when she came back, she quietly washed up and went to bed. Unexpectedly, what she saw when she woke up was Brother Cockroach.
Is the Survival Hotel a nightmare or real?
Has she returned to real life now, or is she still in the copy?
Thinking of the dungeon, Cheng Miao got a look on her face. If she were still in the dungeon [Tan Tao's Campus Life], everything would be the opposite. She couldn't show any yearning for her, otherwise she would be left here forever.
Cheng Miao now has a headache that hurts so much that she can't think rationally.
She slowly got up and got dressed. Cheng's father cooked the hot and sour noodles. The alluring aroma aroused Cheng Miao's greed, who had not eaten good food for a long time.
She looked down at the cat meowing at her. The little chubby cat saw Cheng Miao looking down at her, and happily rubbed against Cheng Miao.
Cheng Miao knelt down, and her cat stood up and was hugged by her, purring.
Cheng Miao stroked the cat's head and burst into tears.
Sure enough, this is still a copy. My cat has never been so enthusiastic, let alone clamoring for a hug.
Cheng Miao put the cat back on the ground and glanced at Cheng's father who was busy in the kitchen and Cheng's mother who was watering the flowers in the flower pot. Her eyes moistened for a moment, but her hand was on the door handle.
"Where are you going? You came back so late last night, and you ran out again this morning without saying a word! If you go out, don't come back!"
Cheng Miao glanced at Cheng's mother who was furious, and felt a little shaken in her heart.
The next second, his hand turned the door lock, and there was boundless darkness outside, and there seemed to be a strange dragging sound of unknown objects.
"Come back, Miaomiao." Cheng's father ran out of the kitchen and begged. Cheng Miao felt sour and almost burst into tears.
She also really wants to go home.
Cheng Miao took one last look at them, then turned and ran into the black that hid endless fear.
