Chapter 248

If you want to observe the other two NPCs, the two of them can just act separately. But the second brother is not very happy to be separated from Ye Xu, and Ye Xu is also worried that the second brother will be frightened if he encounters something alone.

So the two didn't plan to split up, but each threw a split, letting them follow the two NPCs invisibly. Ye Xu and the second brother were wandering around the campus.

The second brother believes that their current situation is equivalent to that everyone has a debuff on their body, which will explode after a certain time. Then the thing that affects the player's debuff explosion order, in other words, is the thing that can reduce the debuff time, and this thing is likely to be the thing that can enhance the power of the curse.

Generally, a curse will break out early, most likely because the curse has become stronger. And the thing that can enhance the power of the curse is itself a cursed existence.

Maybe the curse on it is not strong, but it will make people a little unlucky. But when mixed with the curse of the game, it creates a chemical reaction that turns into something even more powerful.

Of course, this is all just his guess. But it is undeniable that this direction is still relatively reliable. So Ye Xu and the others planned to search the campus to see if there was anything else with a cursed atmosphere.

In fact, it is reasonable to say that ordinary curses must have a carrier. Playing a game and being cursed is the most rogue form of curse. There is no carrier at all. There is no way to eliminate the curse by destroying the carrier. You can only give players a spell to purify the curse one by one.

It's a pity that Ye Xu can't do this. This is an exclusive skill for blessing the temple, and Fang Yu who blesses the temple is living a happy life in the ocean of delicious food. He never imagined that at the other end of the dungeon, he still has an unlucky friend doing advanced tasks.

But after lunch, the weather was hot and I didn't want to run around at all. So Ye Xu simply went to the campus forum to find out where the strange game came from.

The game is also too simple, although the questions are asked viciously. Generally speaking, even if you know it is a game, everyone will not play it, because this problem is really unlucky. Except for people with big hearts, ordinary people will not easily say such dead words even if they don't believe that there are ghosts in the world.

But unfortunately, the nine gamers in this mission are big fools with big hearts.

Ye Xu searched the forum for a while, but found no information. Either the school thought this game was too bad and deleted the relevant posts, or it was because everyone who played the game had an accident, and their posts disappeared strangely.

Ye Xu had inquired, this campus is very peaceful, almost no one has died, and there are not even any strange legends on the campus.

As far as he knows, the last known death of a student was when a student got drunk outside the school at night. On the way back to school, took the closer side gate, but the side of the path is the river, and there is no guardrail. The drunk student accidentally fell and drowned.

Other than that, everything was fine. After the incident, the river was surrounded by guardrails to prevent further human lives.

"If everyone who played the game died and their posts disappeared strangely, I think it's more likely." The second brother thought about it and said, "In this way, we can explain why there are obviously people on campus who have suffered Cursed death, but no gossip about it."

Ye Xu and the others are definitely not the first people to play this game. Since they are sure to die after playing, it means that there are definitely dead people ahead. These dead people did not attract attention, and no one even cited their deaths to supernatural legends, which only means that they played this game and not many people knew about it.

"It is estimated that everyone thinks that this person's game is just an ordinary question and answer, and those people are indeed dying normally, they all died of accidents." The second brother took the laptop and operated it, and quickly found the news of the deaths of these students. Discussion posts, without exception, are accidental deaths.

And because there were relatively few people playing this game before, all three or four played together, and there were few large groups of nine of them. They died on the way out to play, or after they returned to the city where their home is located, the accident happened.

Because accidents do not all happen near the campus, they are considered to be ordinary accidents.

Even if one of them posted that they played the game, no one remembered it after the post disappeared. So no one connected this matter, even because the people who knew about the game were all in the same circle, and the people outside the circle were even more unclear.

"A lot of people in the circle have died, right?" Ye Xu touched his chin, "The rest of the people probably realized that something was wrong. You can see that the number of accidental deaths has decreased a lot in the past two years."

The second brother pondered for a while: "The person who introduced this game to 'us' is very problematic."

It doesn't matter if people outside the circle don't know the situation, it's impossible for people inside the circle not to know. No one dared to play this game, but he had to trick nine of them into playing it, which was very vicious.

Ye Xu and the second brother looked at each other and said, "I'll call and ask."

As he said that, he took out his mobile phone and found Mu Ling's number. He didn't know which NPC was the one who proposed to play the game, so he could only pick one and ask.

"Hello?" Mu Ling answered the phone quickly, "Ye Jiu, do you have anything to do with me?"

Her voice is more noisy, it seems to be in a KTV.

Ye Xu was a little surprised: "Did you go to KTV?"

Mu Ling snorted: "My roommate asked me to sing K. I'm not at school now, I'm in the city."

Their school is in the suburbs, not strictly in the mountains. Their school was originally on the outskirts of a second-tier municipality directly under the Central Government, but in the outskirts of this suburb, there is a Zhushan Scenic Area next door. Therefore, although the surrounding food streets are very developed, everyone still ridicules that this is a mountainous area.

And they usually take a 20-minute bus ride when they enter the "district center" commercial street in the suburbs. They jokingly call going shopping in the center of the district as "going into the city", while going to the main urban area of ​​this municipality directly means "going to xx city", as if their suburbs are not within the scope of xx city.

When Ye Xu heard that Mu Ling was not at school, he immediately had a bad feeling. Those who died unexpectedly after playing the game all died after leaving the school, and as the first NPC to die, Mu Ling happened to be not at the school now.

However, it is impossible for him to tell the NPC that you hurry back to school, because they will only be here for five days, and nine people will die, which means at least one or two will die a day. Even if he asked people to come back, it was estimated that Mu Ling would die in a car accident on the way back, which was meaningless.

So he took the time to ask, "Do you remember who among us was the first to propose to play that game?"

Mu Ling was stunned when she heard this question: "It's Xiaoqin, but why ask this?"

"It's nothing." Ye Xu didn't bother to explain, just hung up the phone after saying that he had something to do.

Over there, Mu Ling looked at her phone strangely, a little inexplicable. Fortunately, it was her turn to sing, so she didn't care, put down the phone, took the microphone, and sang happily.

Ye Xu quickly looked for the "Xiaoqin".

There are not many people in his address book, but the NPCs who play games are all in it. Ye Xu guessed that the Xiaoqin Mu Ling was talking about was an NPC named Su Qin, and he then called Su Qin.

Su Qin was in the bedroom, preparing to take a nap. After receiving the call, Ye Xu didn't think much about it, and Ye Xu used an extremely clumsy excuse to ask from her side who she knew about this game.

He said he wanted to ask the person if he knew of other interesting games that he would like to play. Su Qin guessed that she was too sleepy, so she didn't think much about it and believed this nonsense.

After asking what information he wanted, the second brother took Ye Xu's place and called the person. He was afraid that Ye Xu was too kind and would be deceived by the other party, so he simply went into battle by himself.

The person who played the high-speed Su Qin game did not admit at first that he deliberately told Su Qin about this game and wanted to harm others. It wasn't until the second brother said that the people who died unexpectedly before were killed by playing games, and he became emotional.

"Have you read too many ghost stories? How could there be such a thing, it's so boring!" He scolded sternly, and then hung up the phone quickly.

The second brother looked light and didn't care about his excitement. Ye Xu took the opportunity to lock the location of the caller with his second brother, and his perception skills were very useful at this time.

"He's in the dormitory, but he's packing up now and seems to be planning to leave. I saw him quickly book a high-speed train."

"Come to the door to block people." The second brother got up immediately.

This man was definitely doing it on purpose, so he might know something.

The point is, people in the circle are just guessing that the game will curse people to die, and there is no evidence. Now that no one on Ye Xu's side has died, it stands to reason that even if the other party has bad intentions and wants to use games to harm them, they won't be so flustered.

Thinking from another perspective, if Ye Xu was an insider who only speculated about this matter and took action, how would he react when asked? There will definitely be a little panic, but more will be biting to death and not admitting it.

After all, there is no evidence, and no one knows if it will actually kill him. Even if it does, what can they do with him? This kind of supernatural thing will not be used as evidence in the law, and it is impossible to sue him for murder.

However, this person not only panicked, but also immediately bought a ticket to leave. There was obviously a problem. It's not like he's acting on guesswork, more like, he clearly knows that this game will kill him.

Who will know about this? One is that he played it by himself, and then all his companions died, and he was the only one left; the other was that he had played by watching others, but Ye Xu thought it was unlikely. When they played this in the morning, all the NPCs around them ignored them, very It is possible that other onlookers can't watch this event at all, or even remember who has played this game.

"If he really played but didn't die, how did he survive?" Ye Xu asked.

The second brother looked slightly cold: "Either time has not come, or he has transferred the curse."
