Neverland

The "catkins" fluttering in the air fell more and more, Xu Muzhou's sleeves were corroded by the catkins, and there was even a tendency to gradually expand.

The playground is completely unbearable. This is like a hard main line in disguise. These people must be driven into the teaching building.

In front of the gate of the old-fashioned teaching building, there is a rain-proof platform about one meter wide, with steps in front, and ramps extending out on the left and right sides.Du Qingqing turned off the flashlight when she climbed the steps. It seemed that she treasured this thing very much, and she didn't want to waste a second.

The small wind lamp on the ceiling emitted a faint light firmly, and included several people under the rainproof platform. Lin Xiang couldn't help but lowered his head and scratched his catkin-stained instep. The bloody nail marks on it were shocking.Lin Xiang hissed in pain, and shaved off the shreds of flesh under his nails with a look of disgust.

The boy in school uniform didn't listen to the instructions at all, and ran under the rainproof platform as soon as the catkins fell.Except for him, since the middle-aged man was tightly wrapped in a suit, there were no serious consequences, only half of the rash on his face looked a bit oozing.

Xu Muzhou shook off the catkins stained on his coat, and stood behind the crowd without saying a word. He turned his head and looked into the school hall where the door was opened. He felt that it was dark inside. His eyes were used to the light. Looking at the darkness, there are signal-like mottled color patches in front of my eyes.

"I'm afraid we really want to go in." Lin Xiang said while shaking off the catkins on his body: "This is obviously a game mechanism, and the playing field must be limited to the school."

The middle-aged man did not speak this time, and no one objected.

"There's no time to hesitate." The middle-aged man said gruffly, "Either wait outside to be eaten by these things, or go in and complete the task."

Xu Muzhou also felt that what he said was reasonable, after all, the mission target was hanging in mid-air, and he couldn't turn a blind eye to it.He was about to turn around and walk into the hall, but Yan Cen behind him grabbed his wrist indiscriminately, stopping his turning around.

"But don't you think it's wrong?" Contrary to Xu Muzhou's expectations, Du Qingqing still refused to move. She stood in front of the gate and argued with reason: "Where was the escape game so anxious, from dark to At dawn, it's only eight hours... up to ten hours, is there any game with such a short time limit in the games you've played?"

"There are very few people this time." Du Qingqing continued: "There were not a dozen or twenty people in the past, but this time there are only a few of us. If we encounter any game traps, even death is not enough to die."

Xu Muzhou was taken aback for a moment, he suddenly understood why Yan Cen wanted to stop him - he had a different way of thinking from everyone present, these people are old players who have experienced the game, everyone has their own way of life until now. ability.Xu Muzhou's every move, even the slightest, might be caught in the eyes of others.

And as Du Qingqing said, the game has a certain peculiarity, which is entirely because he and Yan Cen also have to complete tasks in the same environment. Before determining whether the tasks of the two parties conflict, he must not expose himself and others. no the same.

Xu Muzhou lowered his eyes, and quietly moved his toes, which had just half turned, as if he was just tired from standing and wanted to take a break.

"So that's the idea." The boy in the school uniform let out a disdainful sneer from his throat. The laughter sounded very vague and seemed a bit weird: "I've seen you beautiful women a lot. A brainless man will go through the thunder for you. Why, now you have to do it yourself, are you afraid?"

Du Qingqing was in a hurry: "You——!"

The wind leaks from three sides of the rainproof platform, which is only a little bit better than standing on the open-air playground.The willow catkins outside are getting bigger and bigger, and many of them have started to float along the wind direction to the rainproof platform.Lin Xiang was afraid that there would be a little bit more, and he had already retreated to the end, half of his foot had almost stepped into the lobby.

"We still have to go in." Xu Muzhou said suddenly: "Although in terms of probability, it's the same if it's a moment earlier or later, but at least if you go in the moment earlier, the more information you can get."

Du Qingqing glanced at him.

She already knew this man's calmness and meticulousness from the high-speed rail copy, and no matter whether it was intentional or ulterior motives, Xu Muzhou had indeed saved her life, and she was willing to give him a little face.

Seeing that Du Qingqing didn't speak, everyone understood that her attitude was tantamount to acquiescence.

Du Qingqing's flashlight was put away by her. The middle-aged man thought about it before entering the door, leaned over and took off the small wind lamp from the ceiling and held it in his hand.

After walking in, I found that the lobby on the first floor of the school was not as big as Xu Muzhou imagined, it was only a small space.The walls as far as the eye can see are painted with green paint to form a one-meter-high protective wall.The white wall was occasionally stained with footprints and pencil marks, and the window of the reception room near the door was closed tightly, covered by a blue cloth curtain, which tightly blocked the situation inside.When Xu Muzhou entered the door, he turned the handle of the reception room lightly while no one was paying attention, and found that the room was locked and could not be opened.

On the wall on the right hand side is a huge blackboard with forms drawn on it, with weekly classes and mobile red flags written on it.The sky was too dark, and the chalk was smeared in a mess, so Xu Muzhou couldn't see any more information.

The size of the hall is not large, Xu Muzhou calculated in his mind, probably according to the number of the class, it will be able to accommodate a small class.On the left and right sides are extended aisles, which are very similar to the floor plan Xu Muzhou saw.

Xu Muzhou looked left and right with the help of the weak wind and light. Although he couldn't see the situation in the depths of the corridor, judging from the distance between the two rooms near the corridor, there were probably enough rooms.

Xu Muzhou was still thinking about the so-called safe house. Standing by the corridor to the left of the lobby, he deliberately recalled the floor plan, but remembered that the floor plan did not mark the lobby, so the drawing should not be the first floor.

Facing the gate is a staircase with a width of about two meters. The slope is about the middle of the two floors. There is an old-fashioned vertical wall clock on the slow-walking platform. The inside of the glass case was slowly swinging from side to side.

The left and right sides of the jogging platform are divided into two narrow stairs to reach the second floor. Xu Muzhou looked up and roughly estimated that the layout of the upper part should be similar to that of the first floor.

There is a small metal plate nailed to each room. Since the lighting range of the wind lamp is not large, Xu Muzhou squinted his eyes and worked hard for a long time before he could recognize the content of the room label on his head.

One class a year.

It's the classroom, Xu Muzhou thought.

After entering the school, the catkins floating outside seemed to be gradually weakening and tending to stop.

Du Qingqing stood cautiously in the lobby for a while, then deliberately lowered her voice, and said, "Since now—"

Before she could finish her sentence, the vertical wall clock on the amble platform suddenly let out a dull bell.Xu Muzhou's nerves were already extremely tense, and he almost broke into a cold sweat from the sound of the bell.

After the bell rang, it didn't stop, but one after another-it was the hourly chime.

Xu Muzhou settled down to count and found that the bell rang eight times.The middle-aged man seemed to have noticed this too. He held up the lantern and walked a few steps forward, raising the lantern to shine on the clock.

With the help of the dim light, Xu Muzhou discovered that the clock was actually running all the time, and it happened to be exactly eight o'clock now.

Before the people present could react, the whole school suddenly rang a hurried bell, which Xu Muzhou thought sounded very familiar, like the dinner bell he heard in the orphanage when he was a child.

He seemed to be standing right under the alarm bell, and the sound was sharp and piercing. Xu Muzhou only felt pain in his eardrums, so he had to cover his ears with his hands.

The veteran players who have participated in the game obviously understand what this means better than Xu Muzhou. Lin Xiang's expression changed, and he subconsciously took two steps back to distance himself from everyone.

"The bell for class." The middle-aged man was the first to respond: "What class is it?"

His age probably supports his necessary life experience, and his familiarity with this environment is far greater than that of other young people.

However, for Xu Muzhou, whether it is an escape game or a logical reasoning game, as long as it is a game that is artificially set up, has an ultimate goal and a development path, any information that appears in it is a key clue to pass the level.

Before Xu Muzhou could ponder whether the class bell was for them to enter the classroom or something else, there was a burst of crisp footsteps on the second floor above his head.

"Da da da……"

It was like high heels hitting the ground, with a moderate frequency and a slow rhythm. From this sound alone, Xu Muzhou could almost imagine what an elegant woman the other party was.

But this kind of situation is eye-catching in the real world, but it looks very creepy in this gloomy abandoned school building.

The sound of high heels hitting the floor tiles gradually came to Xu Muzhou's head and stopped.The other party seemed to only pause for a second, and the sound of high heels suddenly became urgent. Xu Muzhou heard the movement, and it seemed that the other party was about to come down from upstairs!

After such a short time, Xu Muzhou had already retreated to the edge of the hall. Behind him was the dark corridor, and the sound of high heels was still inaudible. Xu Muzhou only felt a black shadow flashing in front of his eyes, followed by a middle-aged man's shriek. Call.

The small wind lamp fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The only light source in the whole school was completely extinguished, leaving only the sound of footsteps that followed like shadows and suddenly entangled in all directions.

One second before the light went out, Xu Muzhou only saw a woman in a short black skirt flash by. Half of the woman's face was covered with criss-cross knife marks, and the other half of her face was rotten. Kong Dong looked ferocious and terrifying.Her two eye sockets were dark, and her mouth formed an incredible arc, which looked like an almost vicious smile.

The woman's hair was long and loose, and the blood dripping from her body continuously dripped onto the glass shell of the lantern, splashing out a flamboyant flower.
