Chapter 252
Early the next morning, Ye Xu slept until he woke up naturally before getting up. Anyway, Li Gui can't get in, so he's not in a hurry to get out.
After getting out of bed, he realized that Li Gui had left before six in the morning.
"Can we hide in the dormitory and not go out?" Player A asked in a hopeful tone.
Ye Xu thought it might not work, but he didn't speak. Sometimes the truth cannot be said casually, and it is easy to be hated by others.
Sure enough, after a while, the system issued a new announcement.
[System announcement: Dormitory safety timetable: 20:00 to 8:00 the next day. 】
Player A froze: "What do you mean by safe time?"
"It means that after this time, even if you stay in the dormitory, Specter can come in to trouble you." Player B kindly explained.
So after eight o'clock, don't expect the dormitory to bless you.
"Fuck!" Player A scolded irritably.
Ye Xu ignored him and ran to the sink to wash up. don't know who the toothbrushes over the washbasin belong to, so he was useless, he could only simply rinse his mouth and wash his face.
After doing this, he and his second brother went straight out, even though it was not even eight o'clock.
"Where are you going?" Player B asked quickly.
Ye Xu looked at him strangely: "Go to the cafeteria for breakfast."
Player B: "..."
oh, see.
Because of the shared adversity for one night, he finally developed a sense of adversity for the two of them. But obviously, the other party is not willing to partner with them.
"Forget it." Player B had to console himself, "I don't want to partner with them yet."
One of these two people got the final death buff, and the other triggered the hell mode and harmed all the players. He didn't dislike them and they were considered good.
"What's for breakfast?" When going downstairs, the second brother asked while checking the map.
Ye Xu thought about it carefully: "I don't have any appetite in the morning, let's go out to eat wontons?"
There is a family of Qianlixiang Wontons in the back street outside the school. The shop is opened by a couple from Fujian. Their wontons are delicious. They are not like the fake brands out there with the name of Qianlixiang. They are not tasty and have a small amount. Each wonton is filled with half a soybean-sized meat filling, which feels like eating boiled wonton skins. .
The second brother is not picky about what to eat, so he gladly accepted the proposal. Anyway, the two Specters on the map are swaying around the campus, and they won't go to the backstreet for a while, so they can take the opportunity to have a peaceful meal.
Dodging the camera in the corridor and teleporting outside the school saved a lot of time in the past. When the wontons were on the table, Ye Xu suddenly remembered the clone he had forgotten about.
"How is the situation on the clone side?" he asked.
The second brother also remembered that after he broke up the clones last night, he hadn't brought them back together. While taking back the divine power of yesterday, he talked about the matter.
"Aren't they following two NPCs? Why are they staying outside the female player's bedroom?" Ye Xu was very puzzled.
"Not sure, you can link the memory and see what happened."
"it is good."
Ye Xu closed his eyes and quickly browsed the memory of the clone.
It turned out that before returning to the dormitory last night, one of the NPCs had already touched an item with the power of a curse, so Ye Xu's clone stopped staring at them, and instead followed the two female players passing by.
One is because the thing has been found, and the other is because the NPC passed by the thing at close range, while the player passed by at a distance. The clone was a little curious about whether this different level of contact would have any effect on the effective time of the curse, so he wanted to experiment.
So, while observing the NPC with his perception, he followed the female player and watched on both sides.
He doesn't know the second brother's clone.
Ye Xu opened his eyes and told the story again, and the second brother quickly talked about what happened to his avatar. There is nothing special about this clone. After following the NPC for a day, nothing happened. The NPC returned to the bedroom at night. He made sure that there were no cursed items in the bedroom, so he ran to find Ye Xu's clone.
Mainly it's too boring to be alone and find someone to chat with. Moreover, the second brother's avatar inherited the second brother's character, so naturally he couldn't help but want to take care of Ye Xu's avatar.
"Now I've found a cursed item. It's a small red lantern decoration hanging on the school's bulletin board."
This decoration is everywhere on campus, because it was hung up for the school celebration some time ago in order to exaggerate the festive atmosphere. At first glance, thought it was almost New Year's Eve.
The bulletin board was on the only way to the girls' dormitory. Ye Xu and the others wouldn't pass by when they returned to the dormitory, so they didn't find it. The NPC stopped in front of the propaganda board for a while, and looked at the posters on it for a long time.
The other two female players passed by directly on the other side of the road and had not had long-term, close contact. And the remaining NPC went to the badminton court to play for a while in the afternoon, so it was equivalent to bypassing this side and returning to the bedroom from the other path.
The second brother thought thoughtfully: "If it is hung on the propaganda board, most people will not touch it. It can be seen that the condition for the curse to take effect is not necessarily touching, as long as it is close, there will be obstacles. It can be seen that the closer you are, the more effective the curse will be. stronger."
So the two female players should also be affected, but relatively small. Because other ordinary NPCs haven't played the game, the item curse can't hurt them, and they may be a little unlucky at most.
At this time, the wontons also came up, and Ye Xu buried his head and ate hard. The second brother instructed the two clones to continue to follow the player and the NPC who had never touched the cursed item, and the other one was released.
After eating breakfast with Ye Xu, Ye Xu scanned the dormitory with his senses, and found that the two were still in the dormitory. It seemed that he had made up his mind not to move the nest. As long as the ghosts don't come, they won't leave.
"It's not easy to escape from the dormitory, why don't you want to leave?" Ye Xu couldn't understand their choice.
"Because of peace of mind." The second brother said, "A place like the bedroom is like home, and it feels more secure than the outside."
And they have a map, it is estimated that they are conceited and can run away before the Specter gets close. But with all due respect, finding Li Gui close to the dormitory, and then rushing down the sixth floor before running out, is really not a good choice. After all, there is only one entrance in this dormitory building, and the remaining security exits are all locked and generally not open.
Therefore, Li Gui moves so fast, when they run downstairs and want to go out, they might meet Li Gui face to face at the door of the building. This trick is really stupid, but the two of them don't listen to persuasion very much at first glance, I'm afraid they won't be willing to listen.
Ye Xu and the others were too lazy to remind each other and let them play by themselves.
"Go to the propaganda column first?" Ye Xu suggested.
"Can."
They decided to go and see the little cursed lantern, there was nothing to do anyway.
The road from the girls' dormitory leads directly to the back door of the school, so you can just walk there without detouring. It's just that the opening time of the back door is not very good. It always takes 30 minutes to skip the students' class, and the express delivery point is just outside the back door. It takes a long circle to walk from the front door. So those who try to get a courier on the way before class, forget about it.
The back door didn't open for a while, Ye Xu glanced at it, the security guard in the security pavilion was taking notes with his head down, not paying attention to what was happening outside. He simply jumped over the wall three or two times, followed by the second brother.
"Handsome!" Some classmates who were standing behind the door waiting for the opening time exclaimed, and the girls looked at the two of them in amazement.
Ye Xu realized later that this action was a bit of a middle school, especially like the high school tyrant in the novel. He hurriedly dragged his second brother away to avoid attracting onlookers.
When the security guard heard the movement, he raised his head and glanced outside, but found nothing, then lowered his head and continued to write the report.
"This wall is so high, how did they jump over it?" The girls chatted together.
"Bravo!"
"And he looks very handsome! It's a pity that he ran so fast that he didn't have time to ask for a phone call."
"Even if he didn't leave, I wouldn't dare to ask for the phone..."
Avoiding the crowd watching the excitement, two minutes later, the two stood outside the bulletin board, observing the thing from a distance.
"Why did you choose it as a cursed item? There is logic in the dungeon, and it won't turn into something bad for no reason." Ye Xu frowned and thought.
There are so many lanterns on campus, but this one is a cursed item, which is very strange. It can only be said that there should be no problem when the lantern is made and bought, and the power of the curse is later infected.
The second brother used the time and space power on the lantern to see what happened to it. Ye Xu doesn't know this trick, he can only check the past of living things, not dead objects.
So he waited quietly for a while, and a few minutes later, the second brother said: "This lantern was not hung during the school celebration, it was there a long time ago. About two years ago, the student union re-arranged the propaganda board, saying that it was going to be decorated. It is decorated in an antique style to attract the attention of classmates.”
So at that time they not only hung lanterns on it, but also pasted some lace like wooden windows. It looks like the kind of house in ancient times. When opened the window and looked out the window, saw the things in the propaganda column.
After a long time, the lace was not sticky enough and fell off, and the student union cleaned it up. Only this lantern was tied so tightly that the rope was cut with scissors.
Coinciding with the end of the semester, the winter vacation is coming, and lanterns are hung all over the school. They simply left the lantern, but while dismantling nearby things, a female student accidentally cut her hand and blood stained it.
Later, the girl died unexpectedly, and a faint curse was attached to the bloodstain she left behind. The second brother speculates that the girl will die, maybe because of playing the game, so there will be the power of the curse that can promote the progress of the game.
"That's not right, the power of the curse is quite strong." Ye Xu was a little surprised.
The second brother thought for a while: "It may be because many later gamers died earlier because of it, deepening the curse on it."
Ye Xu nodded, such a guess is indeed a lot more reliable.
The two of them didn't get close either, and left after looking at it from a distance. At this moment, the system announcement sounded again.
[System Announcement: The cursed NPC Su Qin died and turned into a ghost, please be careful! 】
