"There is no other option."
Compared to the man's restlessness, Ning Qiushui seemed very calm.
"It's going to be night soon. There won't be anyone on campus at night. Sleeping outside... will be more dangerous."
"The mission has limited the scope for us. During these five days, we cannot leave the school."
In fact, everyone knows this truth, but no one is willing to face it.
Because what they face is not only death, but also the fear deep in their hearts!
Everyone waited for about half an hour, and others came back one after another.
They counted the number of people and finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no less people.
At least so far, no one has died.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's talk about the clues we have collected!"
Everyone sat in an open space, so that they could see the scene behind each other and hear each other clearly.
"Let me tell you first..."
Ning Qiushui was the first to speak.
"The reminder given to us on the Blood Gate is a legend on campus, and it also refers to a deceased person back then. The location where the accident occurred is on the first floor of the dormitory building in front of us."
"People at the school are avoiding it, they're very taboo about it."
"I'm done."
After Ning Qiushui finished speaking, a ponytailed woman sitting next to him couldn't help but ask:
"Is that all? No more detailed information?"
Ning Qiushui glanced at her.
This woman's name is Nan Zhi. She is an old man who has passed through the fourth door and comes here to experience.
"Didn't I already say that other people in the school are very taboo about this matter. We asked seven or eight people in a row, but they were all very resistant and didn't want to talk about it in detail with us..."
When Nan Zhi heard this, she stopped asking further questions and her face looked unhappy.
"Our situation is similar to his. We asked many people. As soon as they heard the word 'laughing man', they turned around and left... I originally wanted to go to the library, but the library seemed to close at three o'clock in the afternoon. , so we didn’t find any useful clues.”
A relatively thin man opposite him was about to say something, but was stopped by his companion beside him.
The companion said calmly:
"So are we."
When everyone heard his words, some people frowned.
"What do you mean you are too?"
"You have found out the news, don't you want to share it with everyone?"
The man said coldly:
"First of all, everyone is investigating the information according to their own abilities. Why should I share it with you?"
"Secondly, I don't need to tell you how much people in this school are against the word [laughing man]. They haven't found out. Why do you think I have found out?"
Seeing his attitude, the tall man who questioned him before couldn't help it.
He stood up and glared:
"What did you say?"
"Want to get beaten?"
"I advise you not to be too arrogant. I can't really kill you, but I can beat you up!"
He is indeed very tall, and when he stands up, he gives people a very strong sense of oppression, and the muscles on his body can also be seen as the type of person who exercises regularly.
However, the man with the extremely bad attitude before sneered:
"Are you big muscles?"
"You don't rely on muscles to get through. You are so powerful. Do you have the ability to fight a ghost?"
"For a guy like you with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, if you can survive the first day, you are considered powerful!"
When the big man heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore. He rolled up his sleeves and stood up. He was about to go forward and fight, but he was reluctantly held back by a few people on the side.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Chen Ruwan, the sharp-tongued woman before, stepped forward to smooth things over:
"Okay, okay, we are all in the same family, there is no conflict of interest between us, why is there such a stalemate?"
"If you don't want to say it, don't say it."
"It's getting late. There are fewer and fewer people in the school. It's not safe outside. Let's go back and rest."
Although she said this, no one present moved.
Everyone knows that there are unclean things in that dormitory building.
Ning Qiushui took the initiative to stand up and led Yue Ru into the dormitory building.
As soon as they saw them entering, everyone behind them followed suit.
This time, Ning Qiushui did not wander around on the first floor. Instead, he took Yue Ru to the second floor and chose a relatively clean room to live in.
As they were going up the stairs, they heard shouting from the door on the first floor:
"Don't touch me!"
It was the big man who said this, and he stared at the opponent behind him with a very unhappy look on his face.
The other party had just cursed him not long ago, and he would die on the first night.
If not for the crowd, he would have slapped this guy twice.
The addresses chosen by everyone were basically on the first and second floors, except for the couple.
They went to the third floor.
Night fell quickly, and Ning Qiushui and Yue Ru sat on the two beds in the room, looking at each other quietly, with serious expressions in their eyes.
"Brother Qiu Shui, tell me...if we fall asleep like this tonight, will that ghost come to us?"
Yue Ru is worried.
Ning Qiushui shook her head.
"It would be a good thing if I could sleep until dawn, but I'm afraid... something will happen tonight."
Ghosts will only attack them when they trigger the death rule. If the quality of sleep is really good enough and they sleep like this all night, it probably won't be so troublesome.
But this doesn't mean that people can fall asleep easily, especially in a high-pressure environment.
Both of them have something hidden in their hearts.
The dormitory is full of bunk beds, and both of them can sleep on the bottom bunk, so that they can easily escape if they encounter any unexpected situation.
Yue Ru stared straight at the bed board above her head, feeling a little unable to sleep.
After the lights were turned off, the room became pitch black.
Under the shroud of darkness, it seems even quieter.
They could even hear the chirping of insects outside the window.
"Why are those people outside today unwilling to share the clues and information they have obtained?"
"Wouldn't it be easier if we all look for a way out together?"
Faced with Yue Ru's question, Ning Qiushui calmly replied:
"Because there must be blood in the blood gate. This is the rule."
"Everyone has their own thoughts, and no one has 100% trust in others."
"Of course, the most important thing is that once someone dies... although others cannot find a way to survive, they may find the 'conditions' that trigger death."
"This is also of great help to survive."
Hearing this, Yue Ru felt cold all over.
In the world of ghosts and monsters behind the Blood Gate, facing unknown monsters is already scary, but I didn’t expect to have to guard against my own people...
"There will really be someone for..."
Yue Ru did not fully say this sentence.
But Ning Qiushui knew what she wanted to ask.
"have."
"I've met it before."
In his second blood gate, the woman named Tang Jiao made a private deal with Goddess Ruan just to keep herself alive, and prepared to sacrifice everyone else as sacrifices!
If Bai Xiaoxiao wasn't smart enough about that door, they might have died without knowing how!
"So, you didn't tell them everything?"
Yue Ru asked.
Ning Qiushui did not deny that she had such thoughts.
"A dead Taoist friend will never die but a poor Taoist."
"And I've said enough compared to them."
Yue Ru fell into silence.
This is a fact.
Among all the clues provided by everyone, although Ning Qiushui also hid something, he was the one who told the most.
Just like that, the two stopped chatting and closed their eyes to sleep.
…
In the middle of the night, Yue Ru was suddenly awakened by some strange sound.
The sound was very strange, as if it came from a very far away place, and it was so elusive that it could not be found...
But as the voice gradually became clearer, Yue Ru felt that her whole body was filled with chills...
It was a... singing voice coming from the corridor.
Listening to the voice, it seems that there is more than one person.
"Happy birthday to you... Happy birthday to you... Happy birthday to you... Happy birthday to you..."
"hey-hey……"
"Hee hee hee……"
After the birthday song ended, there was a boy's clear laughter.
And this laughter... Yue Ru remembered it very clearly.
That was exactly the laughter they heard in the room at the end of the first floor during the day!
And this laughter... is right outside their door!
