Are you afraid?

The door was unscrewed.

Nie Xi didn't have time to think, so he could only dodge and hide behind the last bed.

There is no room for people to hide in the dormitory. If those people go to the window where he is standing, they can find him.

A few procrastinating footsteps moved in slowly, like very tired travelers.They didn't talk, and after walking a few steps, they all climbed into bed.

Nie Xi squatted in the corner of a bed and the window, and could hear the creaking of the wooden bed above, and all four people who had returned lay down.

……

After waiting for a while, there was no movement on the four beds. Nie Xi slowly stood up and took a look.

The six sons, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, were lying on the bed next to him, frowning, and the already old face became more vicissitudes.His dyed yellow hair was messy, with a line of blood in the middle.

...Nie Xi held her breath, and tiptoedly opened the door and went out without waking anyone up.

The six sons have returned, and no one knows where they went except themselves.I don't know if those dream hunters will reappear like them tomorrow.

Back in his dormitory, Meng Tu had already fallen asleep.Incubus was waiting for him.

Nie Xi took out the notebook he found in that room.The two sat at the desk and looked through it together.

大多数内容都没什么价值，都是记载了一个普通高中生的日常生活。而且他的主人好像有点丢三落四，记载的日期经常会跳跃，总体来说是从1992年3月6日开始到1995年12月21日截止。这么多年也总共只有50多条。他和茵库伯斯很快就看完了。

One of them caught Nie Xi's attention.

October 1995, 10.The hand of the author of this diary is trembling.Although his handwriting is already ugly enough, but today's notes are as difficult to read as tadpole writing.

And it was a Monday, and Nie Xi suspected that the owner of the diary witnessed the so-called struggle meeting.

And on the second day of the struggle meeting, that is, October 10.The owner of the diary probably calmed down a bit, and the handwriting became clearer.

[He is not missing, he is in place.I won't snitch though, the snitch doesn't end well, and I don't want to see that again. 】

The incident on October 10 was never mentioned in the following diary, which seems to be consistent with what Feng Qi said about the cancellation of Struggle after the disappearance.

In addition to the information about the struggle meeting in this diary, there is another problem, probably the date.

There is a clock above the blackboard in the classroom of the school where he is currently, and the date displayed on it is May 1996, 5.

And why the owner of this diary hasn't written a diary for so many months, is it because of laziness or other reasons?Because there was a jump date before, Nie Xi was not sure whether it was a clue or not.

"Let's put it aside and get the hair done first," Incubus said.

Nie Xi put away the diary and gave the hair dye to Incubus.

Although Incubus doesn't look like he's ever been in contact with hair dye, he's skilled and doesn't get his hands dirty at all.

The comb held by Incubus gently passed over Nie Xi's head, like a gust of wind.Because there were two people sleeping, they didn't talk much.So the feeling on the scalp and the temperature on the back made Nie Xi feel a little uncomfortable.

He couldn't help whispering.

"After copying my target character, can I change back? I don't like this color of hair."

……

The comb on the head paused, and soon Incubus answered him.

"Hmm... probably there is no black hair dye here, you can ask Feng Qi to borrow a red one."

"Oh……"

Nie Xi had nothing to say.

When the time was up, Nie Xi went to the bathroom alone to rinse his head.

Only at this time did he realize how quiet the bathroom in the dormitory was.In a normal school, there would always be someone using the bathroom on every floor, and the rumble of water running through the sewer pipes would never go away.

It's different here. I'm afraid there are not many people in this school who really need to use the toilet.The water pipes here are quiet most of the time.

For a strange guy like Nie Xi who dyed his hair in the middle of the night, it was probably the first time that the bathroom made the sound of running water at this time.

Cool water flowed over Nie Xi's ears.In addition to the rattling sound beside the ear, there is also a sound that cannot be made by water.

"Hululu... Hululu..."

Nie Xi, who was washing his head in the sink, turned off the faucet and listened attentively.

The sound came from the sewer pipe.When the sound of running water disappeared, the sound became clearer.

It wasn't the hollow sound of the wind in the water pipes, it was something really screaming.

He asked tentatively.

"who is it?"

The sound died away immediately.

Nie Xi sighed, straightened up and looked at himself in the mirror, feeling very strange.

His golden eyes matched his toned hair so well that he seemed to be glowing, as if it was meant to be.Although the golden color caused by hair dye is not as gorgeous as the natural one, in the eyes of some caring people, these differences may be insignificant.

After hastily drying her hair, Nie Xi went back to the dormitory.

He knew that his appearance would not only arouse Yin Dushi's mood swings, but also Incubus.He was prepared, but he didn't expect that Incubus, who was sitting on the stool, would look at him like that, his dull red eyes seemed to be shining.That fervent hope and feeling full of nostalgia, like a pile of bags full of memories and photos, hit his head with a clatter.

Nie Xi covered his head with a towel in displeasure, and pretended to be nonchalant about the sound he heard in the sewer pipe.

Incubus seemed to realize that his emotions were inappropriate, he looked away and cleared his throat.

"That guy probably knows that the guys who use the bathroom at odd hours of the night aren't the same cookie-cutter students, but he's probably looking for a specific person, and that person isn't you."

"But put all these problems aside for the time being. It's getting late now. I suggest you hurry up and have a good rest tonight."

Just resting on the table during the day is certainly not a good quality sleep, and things here are not in a hurry, after all, this is only the first day.

So Nie Xi simply climbed into bed and fell asleep.

The first day at school passed peacefully like this.

The next morning, the two people in the same dormitory expressed surprise at Nie Xi's hair that suddenly changed color.Of course, this is a personal preference. The two of them didn't say anything except that Nie Xi's choice was a bit sudden.

When the four of them went out, Liu Zi came over to say hello to Feng Qi, and explained that his phone was broken yesterday.

Of course, Feng Qi asked the other party why there was no one in the dormitory, and the six sons naturally replied that because the dean found them fighting, they were fined to clean the dormitory, and at the same time they were forced to copy the school rules late last night in the dean's office. That's why we didn't meet.

Feng Qi seemed to believe it, and didn't ask any more questions.It was Nie Xi who asked too much.

"Where are those people who were going to stop us yesterday? Were they fined too?"

"Of course, they don't dare to come to you again!" Liu Zi said cheerfully, not at all lifeless as last night.

"Great, shall I treat you to dinner?" Nie Xi pretended to be sorry. "After all, you were punished for harming you."

"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Zi hurriedly waved his hands.

Seeing that Feng Qi was about to say something, the six sons ran away in a flash.

"This Liu Liu." Feng Qi muttered.

What Liu Liu said was right, those dream hunters did not appear in front of them the next day, and Nie Xi suspected that if they hadn't left the game, they should still be in the dean's office.

He asked Feng Qi which office the dean was in, and it was said that it was on the fifth floor of the teacher's building, downstairs of the principal's office.

According to Feng Qi's personal experience, the office was huge, and there was a big desk for students to copy school rules, and there was a bundle of bamboo whips standing on the wall.The loss is said to be staggering.

During class, Nie Xi did not forget the student who was called out by the English teacher last night.He listened to the class as hard as the other students, and he couldn't see any difference.

He also looked for opportunities to strike up conversations with the female students in his class.Ask them about the missing girl.Unfortunately, it was not found.

Such slow progress made Nie Xi unable to sit still. During the recess, he used those short breaks to quietly go to other classes to see if there were any vacant seats.

Of course, he also went to the third and sixth classes of high school where there were confirmed missing persons.Indeed, a pair of tables and chairs were beaten up and stood in the corner.

But these discoveries only confirmed what he already knew. After a day, Nie Xi still found nothing.But according to the results of the discussion with Incubus and the situation explained by Liu Liu and Feng Qi, everyone in this dream seems to want to maintain this status quo.It is not wise for him to break the calm status quo rashly.

In desperation, Nie Xi had no choice but to use all the time during the day to sleep until he saw Feng Qi and Meng Tu asleep at night, and left the dormitory with Incubus.

Their first destination was the last stall in the outdoor men's toilet.

"We're here to help you, do you have anything to say to us?"

Nie Xi, who turned into the cubicle, asked the boy squatting in the corner.

"Plant me in a suitable place. When I grow and mature safely, I will be useful."

After the boy finished speaking, the slit on his forehead suddenly exploded, and the dark red, slightly shriveled brain popped out.Nie Xi's eyes were sharp and he quickly grabbed it, so that it didn't fall into the toilet and be flushed away.

【Strange Seed】

【Consumables】

[How to use: Plant it in a place free from pests and let it grow quietly.Adding fertilizer can speed up the growth rate. 】

The brainless boy's body softened like a rag sack. It was piled up in the corner, and the facial features and neck collapsed together. It was hard to see that it was a person in the past.

Just as Nie Xi wanted to show Incubus a good look at this thing, suddenly there was the sound of footsteps on the wooden door next to it.

He immediately put the seeds in his inventory.

Incubus also stood up, and just when the uninvited guest was about to be attacked by the two, the other party let out a smug laugh, which made the two of them stop in time.

"Haha, what are you doing here while avoiding us?" Feng Qi sat on the compartment door and looked at the two people below. "Don't try to hide it from me~"

Nie Xi stepped on the boy's slough without a trace, blocking Feng Qi's sight.

Thanks to the dim light in this toilet and the fact that the thing has lost its human form, otherwise it would be difficult for them to explain.
