Chapter 33: The second player
"I invited him to the junior high school party tonight."
After Ma Shan, who had a pair of triangular eyes, finished speaking, he took out a grilled sausage from somewhere, waved it in front of Zhang Yuan, and then asked: "Do you want half of the newly grilled sausage?"
Zhang Yuan's eyes moved from Mashan's body to the sausage in his hand, and then asked: "Did you buy it in the cafeteria?"
Mashan, who had triangular eyes, nodded, then took a bite of the sausage.
Zhang Yuan was silent for a while, and then said to Ma Shan: "I don't eat food in the cafeteria."
Zhang Yuan did not get the system prompt not to eat in the cafeteria like Yue Ran. He just felt that the cafeteria was always filled with a familiar smell to him, and that smell always reminded him of his own kind.
Zhang Yuan did not tell Ma Shan that he had also invited Yu Ning, and even Liu Jiang, who taught Chinese in the high school, might have invited him.
Zhang Yuan could probably guess the purpose of Ma Shan's invitation to Yu Ning. He probably wanted to use the rules of the party to find out the reason why Yu Ning disappeared for a few days. As for the man with slicked back hair, gold-rimmed glasses, and Zhang Yuan was interested in why the Chinese teacher in a white striped shirt and black tie invited Yu Ning.
"Is he also looking for outsiders?" Zhang Yuan muttered something that Ma Shan couldn't understand at all.
At 2:25 p.m., after the bell rang three times for the second period of the afternoon, Zhang Yuan pushed open the classroom door of Class 2, Grade 3, Senior High School, and then returned to his classroom in the last row next to the window. He was the only one in this seat, and Yu Ning, his deskmate, did not appear here.
Zhang Yuan pinched his nose, and then remembered that he had to stand outside during the Chinese language class in the morning and met Yu Ning for the first time.
Zhang Yuan asked Ma Shan about Tai Ning's appearance, so he could recognize the other person when he saw him for the first time. At the same time, a long-lost mechanical system prompt sounded in his ears.
"Congratulations, outsider, for triggering the "Sunan High School" copy side mission.
Task 1: Find outsiders other than yourself in the copy.
Task two is to invite other outsiders to attend the party at the junior high school teaching building of Sunan University at 9pm.
Task three, find the true identity of the party organizer.
Things to note: first, if the identity of the outsider is incorrectly confirmed, your spirit will be reduced by 5% accordingly.
Second, if an outsider dies in the party, you lose the chance to leave.
Third, please confirm the true identity of the organizer, which is closely related to the tasks you have not unlocked.
Fourth, you won't know anything about the outsider until the party is over. "
The mechanical sound stopped suddenly, and Zhang Yuan's thoughts returned to reality.
"There are things to pay attention to this time," Zhang Yuan recalled every word in the system prompts. "It seems that the identity of this outsider is really important. Also, the mission that has not been officially started, I always feel that it has nothing to do with leaving." The method here is related... Yu Ning should be the outsider, the male student chosen by the gods, I remember his name seems to be Yue Ran."
Zhang Yuan lay on the table, silently thinking about everything about Yue Ran, Yu Ning, and this university.
"Hey, there is no freedom here."
Just when Zhang Yuan was lying on the table and lamenting his life of unrestrained freedom, a white shadow suddenly hit Zhang Yuan's head like it was flying.
Zhang Yuan sat up suddenly and happened to see the English teacher standing in front with white chalk in his hand, glaring at him.
At that moment, Zhang Yuan clearly saw a layer of pink mist in the beautiful eyes of the English teacher.
"Zhang Yuan, come out and stand!"
----------------------------------------
When Yue Ran, who had dyed yellow hair, wore a white T-shirt and loose overalls, and assumed the role of Yu Ning, opened his eyes, the moonlight spilled on the cement floor of the dormitory through the window without curtains, and the incandescent lamp gave off a dim glow. The light was thrown down from the gray-white ceiling, and then melted into the water-like moonlight on the cement floor.
"it's dark."
Yue Ran rubbed his groggy eyes and rolled out of bed. The half-meter-high mirror hung on the wooden door of the bedroom full of fine cracks, reflecting the light of the incandescent lamp.
Yue Ran narrowed his eyes slightly. He remembered the three people who invited him during the day.
Ma Shan, Zhang Yuan, and Chinese teacher.
"I don't know what time it is."
Yue Ran's dormitory was very simply decorated. Apart from the eight beds on the upper and lower floors, there was only the half-meter-high mirror hanging on the wooden door full of fine cracks, which was considered an important material in the dormitory.
Yue Ran, whose memory still lingered on before he fell asleep, looked out the only window in the dormitory. Under the dim moonlight, the low bushes seemed to be nameless guards hiding in the depths of the night.
Yue Ran knew that the time for the party should not be far away now.
"It's time to complete the mission. Only after clearing the side missions can we safely do the main mission, not to mention that we only have side missions in hand now."
Yue Ran smiled mockingly to himself. It seemed that he could only be so relaxed in the dormitory.
"The dormitory is considered a safe house in this world. If there is danger outside, just run back quickly." This is what Yue Ran thinks in his mind.
The wooden door of the dormitory was pushed open, and the dim light of the incandescent lamp passed through the gap in the door, and scattered like scattered water droplets on the gray-white cement floor.
The corridor was quiet at this time, as if it was already late at night, and all the students had already returned to their dormitories to rest.
Standing in front of the door of dormitory 218, looking at the long corridor that seemed to be wrapped in endless darkness, at that moment, Yue Ran felt a trace of panic in his heart.
Striding forward, the stairs leading to the lobby on the first floor were diagonally across from Dormitory 218. Yue Ran took three steps at a time and arrived at the stairs. Just as he was about to go downstairs, he suddenly felt something directly above him. Staring at myself.
Yue Ran felt wary, and then he raised his head suddenly, only to see a pair of eyes looking at him through the gap in the dim staircase. The blood mist in those eyes seemed to condense into liquid and drip down from the deep pupils. The owner of those eyes seemed to be frightened, and when Yue Ran raised his head to look at him, he disappeared directly into the corridor.
Yue Ran was curious about what kind of person the owner of those eyes was, but at this moment the wall clock hanging on the left wall of the first floor suddenly rang.
"When-when-when-"
Yue Ran silently counted the sound of the pendulum hitting.
"Eight times, it's eight o'clock now."
