If for the whole exam, the fraud case is the main line on the surface. Then the background of the headless ghost hidden in it is at least an extremely important branch. As a clue between the two, the importance of Shi Qingqing is evident.

Furthermore, if it wasn't for Li Qi's magic weapon, Zhang You and the two would not be able to crack the hole dug by the NPC so quickly. Regardless of reason or reason, 606 has no reason to refuse.

Only Tang Xinjue raised a question: "But it's too difficult to find it like this. The dormitory is so big, and hiding in it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Isn't there an easier way?"

"No." Li Qi was very determined.

Her attitude is also very clear. If you want to find Shi Qingqing, you can only use the most time-consuming little exploration, and there is no guarantee of success rate.

Tang Xinjue frowned: "In other words, even if we spend the rest of our time until the evening self-study looking for her, there is still a chance that we will return without success?"

Li Qi saw her hesitation and said directly: "You don't have to go if you don't want to go. It's just a request, there's no coercion."

Anyway, no matter whether she helps or not, it will not affect her actions and determination to continue looking for someone.

Guo Guo hurriedly interrupted them: "Of course we will help! Should we act separately or go together?"

Zheng Wanqing also said: "Don't worry about me, you can just go and find out, and report anything at any time."

In the end, in order to find Shi Qingqing as soon as possible, several people decided to divide the labor and cooperate: 606 three people except Zheng Wanqing plus Li Qi, each of them happened to be responsible for one floor.

Perhaps it was really the "Follow the Law" that came into effect. When they went out again, a notice for evening self-study was posted on the door of every bedroom in the building. For a while, there were scolding voices everywhere, and countless shadows moved in the dormitory room, but when they looked carefully through the crack of the door, it was empty and nothing could be seen.

[Be careful, don't get affected by the environment and don't get dragged by other NPCs. ]

Zhang You specially emphasized the word NPC.

Even Zhang You felt that the environment was changing in a dangerous direction, and Guo Guo naturally noticed it long ago. She had already wrapped herself with thick defensive props, and she was even cautious along the way, trying not to look at anyone, but to precisely search for Shi Qingqing's figure.

Fortunately, the spiritual connection is always on, and they can share the situation in time. Zhang You is the fastest: [There is no corridor on the left to the gate on the second floor. ]

Guo Guo followed closely: [There is no corridor on the left on the third floor, I am walking to the right. ]

Tang Xinjue: [I am still searching in the left corridor on the fourth floor. There are a lot of people on this floor, and they are very emotional. I am afraid that they will not be good for Wanqing if they break into 404. ]

After a while, she said again: [Perhaps, have you ever thought about another possibility...that it is impossible for us to find Shi Qingqing? ]

Guo Guo: [? ? ? What's the meaning? ]

Zhang You was silent for two seconds, then said: [You mean, this is the hole dug for us by the copy? ]

As of now, this copy apparently has many unknown rules. For example, with the alternation of stories with and without stories, the fragmentation of the interior space of the dormitory, the confusing traces of NPCs, the unpredictable attitude towards the group of four, etc... It's like they will never be able to "actively find" students in certain dormitories. In the same way, if the setting of the dungeon is "the escaped Shi Qingqing cannot be found", then they will not be able to find what they should not be able to find even if they spend ten afternoons.

Zhang You: [Even if we can't find it, we have to try our best first, at least not to disappoint Li Qi. ]

Guo Guo nodded fiercely: [Yes! This is the truth. ]

...

[Why can't you let her down? ]

After a moment of silence, Tang Xinjue suddenly asked this sentence.

She added in her usual calm voice:

[In terms of identity, she is the NPC of the exam, we are candidates, and we have neither responsibility nor obligation to each other. ]

[From a standpoint, even if she has helped us objectively, it does not mean that everything she does will be beneficial to us - don't forget that the only interpretation of the dungeon rules belongs to the dungeon itself, not an NPC. ]

[The most important thing is, from the purpose of her behavior, her purpose is to protect her roommate, but what does this have to do with us? Shi Qingqing is not our roommate, our only purpose is to pass the exam. Do you remember the name of this exam? ]

Guo Guo: […Online dating fraud documentary. ]

Tang Xinjue: [So far, what about online dating? What about scams? We haven't even seen the shadow of the fraud gang, have we? Has the real main storyline of this exam advanced? It will be the evening self-study soon, no one knows what we will face there, but now we have to spend a lot of time on meeting the needs of an NPC, even if she is related to the hidden plot, I don't think it's a good deal 's transaction. ]

[…]

Before Zhang You and Zheng Wanqing could say anything, Guo Guo had already given up thinking: [You know, I've never been good at this kind of logical thinking. So you can discuss it yourself, I'm only responsible for the implementation. ]

After all, Guo Guo unilaterally cut off the spiritual link and never made a sound.

On the other side of the remaining three people, Zhang You still insisted on checking the entire second floor, and then reluctantly let go: [There is really no gain, I will check again, if still nothing...]

Tang Xinjue persuaded her: [Sometimes, sacrifice is a necessary condition for success. There is no perfect situation in the world, and imperfection is the norm, isn't it? ]

[……you're right. ]

Zhang You finally made up his mind.

Li Qi's search range was on the first floor, and apparently found nothing. When Zhang You found her to explain the situation, Li Qi's voice was no longer as determined and sharp as before, and she agreed tiredly without saying anything.

There are still three or four hours before the evening self-study. The closer the time is, the more manic the other students are. On the way back Zhang You and Tang Xinjue, from time to time they could see the anxious or angry shadows of the girls suddenly appearing or disappearing at the end of the corridor, and some people stared at 606 and asked them:

"Did someone come to the school this afternoon? Have we handed in our appeal form?"

Zhang You replied calmly: "Because the number of appeal forms was not complete, we were rejected. But we refuted the school's unreasonable request and secured security protection. Now we are going to find a few people who did not submit the form. Can you help me find it? ?"

The opposite looked at them with complicated expressions for a long time, but in the end they didn't do anything, just pointed in a direction and hurriedly left.

Back on the fourth floor, Guo Guo was already waiting in the 404 dormitory, and when she saw Zhang You and the two came back, she whispered, "I feel like these people can tell what we did... Their aggression is not as strong as I thought. ."

In other words, after Guo Guo and Zhang You defeated the school NPC at noon, the maliciousness displayed by these girls seemed to have subtly decreased. In the chaotic environment inside the building, the group of four did not actually suffer any attacks, and even when it was close to 4 o'clock in the afternoon, two new appeal forms were found on the ground at the door of the bedroom.

Using this time, several people thoroughly reviewed the situation of the copy and made preparations.

There is no doubt that evening self-study is the most dangerous activity at present. At least in this process, the school is the biggest enemy, and the danger of other student NPCs is not so great.

But again, leaving the dormitory means that many restrictions can be unlocked - such as cell phone signal.

"Look at it, maybe it's not necessarily a bad thing." Guo Guo optimistically said: "Maybe after we all go to the evening self-study, there will be no Punisher attacking in the middle of the night."

Zheng Wanqing hummed softly: "I hope your idea will come true."

At half past four in the afternoon, the building suddenly became quiet.

The four of them didn't even react, so they walked out of the door subconsciously. When they got down to the lobby on the first floor, there were already about twenty people lined up at the door. Every girl's face was blank, and she couldn't find the focus in her eyes.

But what was a little surprising was that Shi Qingqing was standing beside Li Qi, and it seemed that she really got the person back in time. The latter pulled Li Qi's sleeve tightly, but did not scream or run away again, but stood quietly in place.

The school teacher who came to lead the team this time was a serious middle-aged woman with a tall face and a long face.

The three of Zhang You helped Zheng Wanqing, the weakest, to walk behind the team. They noticed that there was a thin layer of fog outside the dormitory building. It didn't look thick, but it made people unable to see the specific environment. It is only vaguely aware that this is a very large and vast campus, and the air is soaked with unpleasant cold.

[Not the same as in the last headless copy. ]

Zhang You said in the sea of ​​consciousness.

If the last time can be said to be a strange incident on a seemingly normal university campus, this time, there is nothing in the entire school that can be described as "normal".

I don't know how long walked quietly and at a constant speed, and the teaching park slowly appeared in front of eyes.

Guo Guo looked up subconsciously, and a high-rise building that was so high that the top could not be seen suddenly entered the field of vision.

[You see...?]

When she reacted, she was stunned. The building in front of her had become an ordinary teaching building, about five or six stories high. The building was shrouded in mist and could not see the details.

[What's wrong?] others asked.

They didn't see what Guo Guo had just glimpsed, and their eyes were a little puzzled and hearing the news.

[Nothing, maybe I'm blinded.]

Guo Guo shook his head and finally glanced at the teaching campus, then followed the team into the teaching building.

Jingle Bell

The familiar bell rang in the quiet and empty teaching building, and everyone's heart was beating wildly.

At five o'clock, the evening self-study is about to start.
