"Season reminder..." Guo Guo, who was thinking hard, suddenly patted his head and blurted out: "Season reminder will tell us the characteristics of each season!"

At the same time, this feature is usually the level and danger of the season.

Winter and summer are characterized by extremely warm environments, which seem obvious at a glance, but the characteristics of spring and autumn are somewhat difficult to distinguish.

The characteristic of the exam given to the spring is [Recovery of All Things], and its core and rules are that all living things "recover" out of danger to human beings.

It is precisely by knowing the characteristics of the seasons that Tang Xinjue can guess the crisis from plants and insects and prepare in advance.

If Tang Xinjue's speculation is true, it undoubtedly represents a very bad fact:

How can they fight the dangers of autumn when they know nothing about the seasons?

"It's not necessarily ignorant." Tang Xinjue shook his head, "We still have common sense."

"If the game really has to hide the change of seasons, it means that the characteristics of autumn must be well known... It is afraid that we can guess."

"The characteristics of autumn... Autumn is high and fresh? The autumn wind sweeps the leaves?" Zheng Wanqing covered her head with a headache, "I really don't want to think about this, help, come and let me chop it off."

"There are two most well-known images of autumn, one is withering, and the other is harvest."

Zhang You reluctantly maintained his calm, and followed Tang Xinjue's train of thought, "If you have to choose one, I guess it is a bumper harvest."

Guo Guo's head shook like a rattle, followed by a retort: ​​"No no no, I think it is withering."

She gave the basis: "What do you think the role of the dungeon? It's killing us! So the characteristics of the dungeon must be negative. Everything witheres in autumn, and it is particularly dangerous at first sight."

Zhang You: "But if you say that, the image of spring is recovery, and the positive seasonal characteristics may also contain more dangerous content."

Guo Guo: ...It seems to make sense?

Unable to come to a conclusion, the two looked at Tang Xinjue at the same time.

Tang Xinjue's gaze was on the outside of the balcony, as if looking at something through the vines.

The window is still surrounded by dense vines, blocking the outside world tightly.

But there is an indescribable fluctuation, but it seems to be slowly covering up outside the vines...

[Untouchable things: Your san value is slightly damaged, health value -5]

[Mind shake (negative buff): Your san value is continuing to decline, and the environment is more dangerous to you. ]

[Shh, there are things you can't easily perceive—at least not yet. ]

Seeing the change in Tang Xinjue's status information, the others were momentarily incredulous.

This is Tang Xinjue! In the face of female ghosts, you can smack your face with the toilet, and the san value is like a werewolf with a lock. Now that just glanced outside, the san value has dropped?

But no matter how many people stretched their necks, they couldn't see what flood and beasts were outside the window. On the other hand, Tang Xinjue retracted his gaze and said calmly as if nothing had happened: "I prefer Zhang You's view."

"If recovery corresponds to withering, the first thing that should wither is the vegetation outside the window."

Obviously, they have no intention of withering. If you look closely, there are even fist-sized tumors growing on the original branches and leaves, as if the results are urgently needed.

wait...the result?

Guo Guo almost broke his voice: "The mature plant bears fruit, which is a symbol of harvest! Zhang You, you are right, autumn is really a harvest season!"

But she calmed down in a flash, "Now I know the season reminder, but what does it have to do with the current situation?"

A bumper harvest, a bumper harvest... This image is more blurry than recovery. Makes one head two big.

Seeing the time passing by, Guo Guo's head suddenly flashed: "I understand! Spring is the recovery of ghosts, and autumn is the maturity of ghosts! The sound of the bell is a sign of the maturity of ghosts, and the bell rings 12 times in autumn, it means that the ghosts are mature. There are 12 ghosts mature..."

The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became, and she secretly glanced at other people's expressions.

Tang Xinjue gently encouraged: "It makes sense."

As soon as Guo Guo was overjoyed, he heard Tang Xinjue say again, "However - if one party is mature, the other party must reap. If the mature one is a ghost, who is in charge of harvesting?"

Students responsible for harvesting? That has to be their ability. According to the comparison of strength, they seem to be...

Guo Guo's face suddenly turned pale, opened his mouth, and looked at Tang Xinjue.

Tang Xinjue raised his eyes and looked back, his emotions contained in the calm waves: "Yes, according to this logic, we are the ones who are harvested."

"In other words, in the face of the awakening powerful ghosts, all weak creatures are the objects to be harvested."

"Autumn is the harvest season, and when the bells ring, they come to harvest."

rustle……

The branches are lush, and the vines wrapped around the glass windows have stopped growing wildly.

The budding fruits broke open the epidermis of the branches and grew bigger and bigger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It's just that the members of dormitory 315 are not in the mood to appreciate this spectacle.

They were fighting against several mutant plants, one of which was an unidentified flower stem that was as long as two people and wrapped around one of the members' necks, causing her face to turn blue and her whole body to struggle.

The two were trying to rescue her - at the door of the dormitory a few meters away, a member lay on the ground not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and his body was covered with a layer of cold air that had not yet dissipated.

The enemy was attacked on the back and stomach, and the scene was critical. Just when several people were almost desperate, the plant that was wrapping around the roommate's neck suddenly loosened, and the flower branch swayed twice, as if feeling the natural enemy, it quickly retracted into the corner of the wall.

Several people were ecstatic: survived?

"Here, is this a customs clearance?" One of them shook his hand and turned on his phone, but he didn't see any new notifications.

rustle……

There was a rustling sound outside the balcony window. The branches and leaves of the vines were shaking and rustling against the glass window.

Several people did not understand what this scene represented, and looked at each other blankly. The girl who was entangled by the vines coughed for a while, then raised her head with difficulty: "Do you feel that the room seems to be getting dark?"

"Dimming? Is the light broken?"

Several people looked up quickly and found that the top lamp did seem to be a little darker, and it seemed to be slowly losing its light at an even speed.

Not like damage, but like...

"It's like something sucks the light away."

A girl muttered involuntarily.

The rustling of vines outside the window disappeared.

Only their breathing and heartbeats spread in the silence of the house.

As if something grabbed the heart, tension and goose bumps spread over the top of the head like a tide, a few people breathed slightly stagnant, and slowly turned their heads.

Outside the glass window, there is not a single vine.

A bloody yellow, huge eye covered the entire glass window, and the split pupil rolled and fell on them.

The next moment, with the sound of glass shattering, the lights went out.

...

When autumn comes and the sickle is about to fall, what needs to be done for the fruit to avoid the fate of being harvested?

In the narrow darkness, Tang Xinjue slowed down his breathing. Feeling that the girl beside her was trembling, she squeezed each other's hand. Perhaps because of the power of calm, the roommate's body slowly calmed down, and he also learned to hold her breath.

- Hide from the reaper's sight until the autumn harvest is over.

Fortunately, the environmental structure of the bedroom gave them just the right hiding space - the two wardrobes at the door, just enough to be among the four girls.

Guo Guo was timid and easily frightened, and had to follow Tang Xinjue to calm down; Zheng Wanqing was reckless and impulsive, and was suppressed by the cautious Zhang You. The four of them teamed up in twos, got into the two wardrobes, and used it to cover their bodies.

In this way, even if they guess wrong, there is a protective barrier to resist.

Originally, several people were worried that they would be attacked by dark creatures when they entered the wardrobe. But until this moment, there was no sign of dark creatures, and everything seemed extremely quiet.

This also confirmed Tang Xinjue's guess - the harvest came, and the ghosts retreated. A more terrifying being awakened.

Maybe one, maybe… many!

In the dark, vision becomes ineffective, and hearing becomes more acute. The sound of vines growing and shaking outside the balcony of the bedroom was faintly heard. Tang Xinjue noticed that from a certain point, the sound suddenly became louder, like slamming the glass window hastily, like a reminder, and like a struggle.

After that, the sound of the vines disappeared completely, and there was no trace of it in my ears.

In the silence, her perceptual nerves awakened little by little, and like in countless nightmares, she issued a dangerous warning to her body that was so strong that it trembled.

[Untouchables (Level 2): ​​Your san value is moderately damaged, health value -15]

[Your san value is dropping rapidly, and the environment is very dangerous for you. ]

[Perception is a double-edged sword, its function depends on which side you point the blade]

Locking the screen, Tang Xinjue motioned Guo Guo to turn off the phone too, so that the last bit of light was annihilated in the cramped space.

rustle……

It was as if something was flooding into the house, like the rising tide of the sea, submerging the bedroom little by little.

It seems to be searching for something.

Across the cabinet door, the most important senses are blocked, and everything in the outside world becomes a strange and unknown symbol in the mind. As danger approaches, panic breeds.

Even if they didn't hear any sound, the four people in the wardrobe had an inexplicable perception - a pair of eyes were looking at the bedroom.

It's getting closer and closer to the wardrobe.

rustle……

After a while, a small sound suddenly sounded, like gravel falling, stinging the nerves in my mind.

Tang Xinjue frowned and closed her eyes. She felt that Guo Guo began to tremble again, and resisted making any sound.

I don't know how long, my mind was empty, and the voice disappeared.

The sense of danger also dissipated like an ebb tide, until it completely disappeared in the bedroom.

Opening her eyes, Tang Xinjue felt the fishy smell in her mouth. She just bit the inside of the corner of her mouth.A layer of cold sweat oozes from her back, but it also makes her more awake.

Patting Guo Guo's head, she said softly, "We're safe for now."

[Autumn is here, autumn is here, and in the expectation of a bumper harvest is coming——]

The belated system notification sound accompanied by a strange humming sound appeared in my ears:

[Ding dong!The footsteps of autumn have come quietly, students in the dormitory, have you felt the joy of the harvest?]

[The final level of the exam: the autumn copy has been opened!The reapers have awakened, please survive to the end in their patrols, each reaper will only harvest once, and when there is no harvest, it will drop its rage.This time the reapers have a total of...]

[Twelve!]
