In terms of layout and facilities, this is undoubtedly a very ordinary university. If Su Qingxing had not seen the fog outside the school gate and the fence, he might have thought that he had accidentally crossed into the human world.

Although the sun is shining here, birds sing and flowers smell, and the architectural style also gives people a very comfortable feeling, there is no doubt that this is the trial world created by cinnabar, and the school is the whole world.

The layout of a university campus is larger than that of a hotel, villa or hospital. In addition to the teaching buildings and large playgrounds that Su Qingxing first noticed, the school has common configurations such as community buildings and complex buildings, libraries and canteens, and the last dormitory area.

School is the small world.

In addition, some details of the school are also very normal. For example, the bell rang regularly, for example, the teacher in front of each classroom will lecture carefully, for example, on the basketball court next to the playground, the cheerleaders of the winning side are cheering.

But Su Qingxing always felt that there was something missing in this school, and that thing should be the key for Su Qingxing to see through the true face of the school.

"I always feel like there's something missing here." The only person Su Qingxing can discuss is his Royal Highness death, who is walking beside him at this moment.

In Su Qingxing's impression, when he first saw death, he stood on the street of the ghost town in a black uniform and gray scarf, looking serious and unsmiling, as if it would be troublesome for him to say one more word.

The second time he saw death, he did not know why he was lying in the rain, his face was covered with muddy water, but he still frowned, as if he could not put it down in a coma.

Leaving aside the death of the snow wolf and the puppy, it was only the third time that Su Qingxing stood face to face with the betrothal, and it was the first time that Su Qingxing carefully looked at the face that appeared in front of him.

Because death was much taller than Su Qingxing, he needed to look up slightly to see the face softened by the sun. This god of death from the depths of the underworld has an excellent appearance in the eyes of Su Qingxing, but unlike Su Qingxing, who inherited his mother's appearance, death's face features are more prominent, um. There is also the edge that even if you wear women's clothes, you will not be mistaken about gender.

There was obviously no expression on death's face, but when Su Qingxing saw those eyes, he felt that it was not the first time that he had met black eyes that were so focused that they were almost addictive.

"haven't we met somewhere?" Su Qingxing forgot the question he wanted to ask before, but suddenly asked it abruptly.

"after all, we are betrothed." Death looked at Su Qingxing with more and more attention, as if he wanted to express many things he could not express in words. "the last time you chose to run away, why not try to understand it this time?" After all, I don't want to be just. Someone you've ever met. "

In the sun, the man in a casual shirt and jeans stood there, making Su Qingxing feel that he seemed a little sad.

"Why?" Su Qingxing couldn't help asking, "Why did you choose me?" I'm just a prisoner, aren't I? "

In view of the status of death in the underworld, Su Qingxing always felt that he was free to choose his own betrothal, and that he could choose his partner from all the noble people in the underworld. So Su Qingxing never understood why death stepped into the wasteland and finally chose himself who had been imprisoned in the stone pagoda for a hundred years.

"because no one can compare with you in this world." Death bowed his head, and the bridge of his nose almost touched Su Qingxing, who raised his head. "there is no second Su Qingxing in the world."

Su Qingxing suddenly felt his cheeks a little hot and hurriedly took a step back.

It was at this time that Su Qingxing discovered that. There were so many people around who stopped and stared at them blankly.

"the students over there! No flirting in front of the library! " The familiar voice sounded, and the hot-tempered male teacher did not know when he appeared directly in front of Su Qingxing.

Does this teacher have a special scanning radar for flirting?

The idea just came to Su Qingxing's mind, but he immediately shook his head and forgot it.

They're not flirting!

"Ha." There was another burst of laughter, without malice, but was simply amused by the hot male teacher.

"Sorry." Su Qingxing subconsciously dragged death to run in another direction, even if he knew that this was a trial world, and even if he knew that there was something wrong with the people who stayed here, it was the first time for Su Qingxing to feel surrounded by inexplicable onlookers.

But death, who ran away with Su Qingxing all the way, couldn't take his eyes off his left hand caught by Su Qingxing.

Oneself. I shook hands with Qingxing.

The two finally sat down in the auditorium on the playground, and there were not many people around. Only couples in twos and threes sat here whispering, far away from each other.

Sitting high in the auditorium, Su Qingxing can clearly see the entire playground, the basketball court and even the outer school avenue, that is, most of the students walking around the campus.

"so what is missing?" Su Qingxing is still worrying about this problem, while his Highness death is still looking at his left hand.

The two men just sat high, because there was an awning above, so it looked a little cool below. From time to time, the wind blew from the side, and the cool breeze was pleasant.

After sitting for a long time, death looked up at the playground and runway below, and then said with some uncertainty, "are there too many people here?"

"there are so many people?" Su Qingxing always feels that it seems normal to have a large number of people on the playground. In the human video videos he has seen before, those occasions such as sports meetings are always full of people, and there are many parents who have come from afar to cheer on.

"the ratio of students to non-students is a bit strange." Death simply calculated, "it is obvious that the old and middle-aged people cannot be students in the school, and even the number of teachers in the school should not be so large."

After hearing what death said, Su Qingxing looked forward to the playground.

Someone is playing football on the field, and there are some students cheering around. However, most of the people who sit around the green field and walk slowly on the track do not look like students, but just seem to be fully integrated into the whole campus by talking and laughing at each other.

Even if it is an open university campus, there will not be so many outsiders, right?

"Let's go and ask." Su Qingxing walked down from the audience, and death followed his betrothed.

"Old man, are you a teacher in this school?" When Su Qingxing saw several old people talking and joking, he went straight over.

"No, we are the hostel of Building 4." The old man smiled and shook his head. "you look a little new, but you're not students in our building, are you?"

"are you all the hostels of Building 4?" Su Qingxing has seen the dormitory building at the back before. The floor and area of each dormitory building is not very large, which is similar to that of an ordinary residential area. So a building, unexpectedly need five white-haired old people to do hostel management together?

After saying goodbye to the hostesses, Su Qingxing and death saw several men and women who were obviously middle-aged, so they asked if they were teachers in this school.

"No, we are the cooks in the school canteen." Being mistaken for a teacher seems to make these people a little happy, so they are happy to answer Su Qingxing's question, "everything that needs to be done is done, so I came out for a walk."

The answer is not unacceptable.

"are you the only ones busy in the whole canteen?" Su Qingxing asked a question as if he were chatting, but the answer he got was a little surprising.

"how is that possible? there are 108 cooks in our canteen, so everyone doesn't have much work, it's easy." The leading uncle said with a smile, as if there was nothing wrong with what he said.

But.

108 cooks? This number can be gathered together by Liang Shanpo. Can we really stand so many people in terms of the size of the kitchen at the back of the school canteen? After Su Qingxing and death looked at each other, they knew that there didn't seem to be many strange places in this school, but in fact they were everywhere.

Although cinnabar's memory is not very good, Su Qingxing believes that as long as cinnabar remembers things, it will not be wrong.

Since cinnabar says that there is no one in this trial world except MA2222 and his servants, then everyone in this school is abnormal!

After walking around the football and basketball courts and walking around the main roads of the school, Su Qingxing found that in addition to 60 white-haired hostels and 108 cooks in the school, there are more than 20 couriers, more than 30 school supermarket staff, more than 100 cleaning staff, and more than 300 teaching staff.

However, according to Su Qingxing's visual assessment, the number of students in the whole school is only 500 to 600, mixed with some students who do not look like college students, but walk happily with other students.

After almost determining the number, Su Qingxing and death sat down on a bench in the shade of the tree and leaned close without thinking about it, thinking that it would be more convenient for them to whisper.

"the ability of this MA2222 is not to create human beings, is it?" Su Qingxing could not help guessing.

"if I want to create human beings in school, I will try to make the distribution of people more balanced." Death is a little skeptical. "there are obviously not enough students here, and there is no need to create so many hostel cooks and other staff."

"the mystery novel I read before said that sometimes we need to think about others." Su Qingxing turned around and looked face to face with death. "how would you feel if you were the MA2222 and you asked the architect to create a university campus with no one but yourself?"

"I think it's too empty." When death finds his betrothed working hard, the whole person seems to be shining, "since I want to have a school, it means I want to live in this environment." But when there is no one else, it is extremely boring to sit in the classroom as a student or stand on the podium as a teacher. "

"if it were me, I would want a companion." Su Qingxing felt that he had gradually found a way of thinking, "one servant is absolutely not enough. I need more and more companions."

"if MA2222 is a student, then he needs a classmate and a teacher to teach for them."

"if MA2222 is a teacher, then he needs students who listen carefully to his lectures, preferably all kinds of students."

Su Qingxing and death, I guess one sentence at a time, and there seems to be less strangeness between the two people. Su Qingxing is reasoning hard, while death is happy to see the betrothed person's face glowing.

"but the MA2222 refused to let cinnabar create script characters in the first place, not because he didn't want it, but because he didn't need it." Death looked around and said, "he has other ways to increase the number of people in the school."

"there are only two possibilities." Straight ahead, Su Qingxing saw the female student who was exactly the same as Xu Yun. "either these people were created by MA2222, or these people entered the trial world from the outside."

"which one do you think it is?" Death also noticed that Su Qingxing always cared about that girl.

"the second kind." Su Qingxing and death gave the answer coincidentally.

Since Su Qingxing and death entered the world, they have not seen half of the trainees!

This is a trial world. Isn't it the strangest thing that there are no trainees?

Therefore, Su Qingxing felt that it was not that they did not see the trainees, but because all the trainees were around them at the beginning, but they were completely unaware of it.

"these people." Death rose from the bench and looked at the crowd coming and going in front of him. "these are the trainees. The students, cooks, hostels, teachers and other staff here are the trainees who have been left here forever by the MA2222."

Every trainee who enters here is trapped!

"I can't see the numbers and death messages of these people." Su Qingxing also got up, "but cinnabar said he had created some kind of information blocking method in this trial world, making it impossible for guides to identify the trainees." Cinnabar thought the MA2222 was for some reason, so she wanted to lurk among the trainees. "

"that's true." Death looked at the ordinary campus at first glance. "it's just that the architect may not have guessed how many trainees there are in this school."

Everyone who walks in front of them could be the MA2222.

"generally speaking, only after all the trainees die or go through customs, will a new group of trainees enter the trial world." Su Qingxing's expression is no longer as relaxed as before, "but if this is the case, there will definitely not be 'hoarding' so many trainees here."

"it should have something to do with the information blocking method created by your friend." Death thought for a moment, "the trainee information here is completely blocked, so it is mistaken for having left this world." As a guide to the underworld, you should know that the way the trial world works is very similar to the way human computers are judged by information. "

"so they were just left here." Although he doesn't know how to solve the matter, Su Qingxing has a kind of relief to see through the riddle.

"it's more than that." Death shook his head. "this is a university campus, but the age of the trainees has always been uneven, so some of them can play the role of students in front of them, while others can only become teachers and support staff. This is something that MA2222 can't change." But the MA2222 assigned roles to everyone, and even if there were 108 cooks in a school canteen, they never seemed to doubt their identity. "

"Qingxing, do you know what this means?"

"MA2222 can't create humans, but he can definitely control them! Control their thoughts, control their memories, control them to stay in this school, control them to make them feel like part of this school! " After thinking about it, Su Qingxing actually felt a chill behind it. "this is the special ability that the MA2222 has!"

MA2222 has the ability to control other people's thoughts, behaviors and even memories.

But judging from the situation of Su Qingxing and death themselves, this ability may not be able to influence too powerful opponents.

"he used his ability to create an 'ordinary' university campus." Death could not help frowning, "but why did he do it?" With the terrible ability to easily manipulate thousands of people, he chooses to amuse himself in the trial world? "

At this time, Su Qingxing suddenly showed a clear expression and said to death, "cinnabar said before that the MA2222 does not touch any ghosts except servants and hides all day in a mysterious corner of the ghost town, and no one can approach it."

"the best way to control uncontrollable power is to keep no one close."

But when death almost mumbled this sentence, Su Qingxing suddenly had a picture in his mind that he was trying to forget

Unable to leave the stone tower, cold and unable to break free of the stone lock, so he was trapped in the stone tower day after day, looking up at the only window, trying to find other traces of life in the hazy sky, but nothing.

An uncontrollable force.

Don't let anyone near, and you're not allowed to get close to anyone.

"Qingxing."

The voice of death awakened Su Qingxing from his memory and reminded him that he had already left the stone pagoda and would not be allowed to go back there anyway.

"maybe cinnabar is right. The danger level of the MA2222 is indeed safe." Death has learned some information about the MA2222 from Su Qingxing. "even in the unstoppable ghost city, the MA2222 did not use this power against anyone, but hid itself from anyone, not close to anyone, and did not allow anyone to come near him."

"when cinnabar arrived in Ghost City as an architect, he volunteered to stay in the trial world." Su Qingxing raised his forehead with a headache, and the picture of the past still came to mind. "he has great ability and equally strong self-control, but deep down, he is also afraid of loneliness and longing for people, so he let cinnabar create this school."

"that servant is probably the only object controlled by the MA2222 in the ghost town."

Through the inference and speculation of the two people, Su Qingxing felt that the MA2222 was standing in front of them.

His ability, his character, his desire.

But these are just the guesses of Su Qingxing and death. In other ways, they still know nothing about the MA2222.

"in any case, the most important thing is to find the MA2222 from the thousands of trainees who are hoarding in this school." Su Qingxing finally identified their most important task in this trial world.

And he really wants to see the MA2222.
