Alien High School [Unlimited]

The short hand, which has always been silent, finally met the number "12" straight after a few minutes. Everyone stared ahead without saying a word, as if waiting for something.

Sure enough, the dial suddenly ticked.

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of not-so-clear notification sounds coming in from the crack of the door in the distance.

[Number of remaining players in this game: 6]

……

No one thinks how weird the intermittent system sound is,? Instead, Zhao Yan focused on studying the relevant content in the prompt.

"The number of remaining players is 6... that's not right, why is it 6..." Zhao Yan broke his fingers, whispered a few words in his mouth, "I...Xiaozhi...Brother Wu, Brother Yan,? Brother Yan’s roommate,? And the three people I met after coming here? How can there be 8 people? How come..."

Etc., etc……

The system prompts that there is really no possibility of data errors.

Zhao Yan sniffed, turned his head and bumped You Wu's shoulder, "Brother Wu, Shen Tian and Shen Xin, siblings, could it be already..."

Bai Shao behind him frowned tightly, his whole arm trembling a little.

"Not necessarily." Lu Yan said.

As soon as the voice fell, the system prompt came from the same place as before.

This time the content of the reminder is a bit long,? But still no one can understand the specific meaning.

[Congratulations to the two players who have successfully matched "Mermaid", please the remaining players make persistent efforts. 】

Good one keep up the good work.

But to put it more bluntly, doesn't it mean to let you die quickly?

"The two people were successfully matched at the same time?" You Zhi opened his mouth, and couldn't help but look at You Wu, "Brother, the phone mentioned matching mermaid species... Then the system prompts, isn't it just telling you?" Us, Shen Tian and Shen Xin...has become that monster who can't speak, can't communicate, but keeps his heartbeat?"

You Zhi's voice gradually faded away, and her eyes flicked to Bai Shao indiscriminately.

This time, no one was willing to take the initiative to answer.

When the sound of the system's current went silent again, You Wu squeezed his wrist, raised his face and scanned the surrounding people.

There is no one who can barely see the expression on anyone's face.

And the short hand was pointing at the white dial in the direction of "12" o'clock, and there was no more movement.

At first glance, it becomes the most abrupt one among so many white dials on this wall.

If these dials represent the countdown to the player's death, why...

Why is there only one short hand on the dial that goes to 12 o'clock.

Lu Yan's eyes widened suddenly, and his fingertips lightly slid across the completely stopped clock just now, and then his eyes fell on the dials on the left and right.

"No..." Lu Yan's face gradually turned pale, and there was a rare panic in his eyes.

"Brother?" You Wu leaned over.

"impossible."

"Nothing is impossible."

You Wu was a little confused when he heard that, he followed Lu Yan's line of sight to look over, but quickly sank down.

There are dials all over the wall, only the one on their right has stopped time.

Then why...

Why did the system prompt just now that two players have been successfully matched!

Lu Yan started from the first dial in the first row, and slowly looked around.Finally, he frowned and turned around.

“第一排表盘上的时间大致都集中在了5点到7点的位置。”鹿颜不知从哪里摸出来根黑色的水笔，找不到纸索性直接在那面墙上坐下了易懂的标记，“第二排的时间基本都在7点到9点的位置。第三排是3点到5点，只有最后一排的钟表时间全部集中在了最靠近12点的1点到3点这个区域里。”

In other words, the last row of clocks is the most dangerous row on the wall.

As luck would have it, the white dial, whose time has completely stopped, happens to be in the third place in the fourth row.

"Brother, there are exactly 8 clocks in the last row on this wall." You Wu still had a serious face, "That is to say, each of our players corresponds to one of the clock faces?"

"Moreover, the prompts of the game system are absolutely infallible. In this case, there is only one possibility..." Wang Zhen snorted softly, squinted his eyes and glanced out the window, "Shen Tian and Shen Xin At least one of them is still alive."

You Zhi and Zhao Yan stood quietly by the side and listened without beginning or end. They didn't know where to start when they wanted to speak.

"But no matter what, we must find the two of them first." Lu Yan lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on the experimental table next to him, and then he randomly tore a page from a thick stack of chemical reference materials and handed it to him. In front of Zhao Yan, "Zhao Yan, help me draw the eight dials in the last row."

Zhao Yan blinked, nodded lightly, took out a fountain pen and a piece of A4 paper full of chemical formulas from Lu Yan's hand, and leaned sideways on the wall.

After the 8 clocks and clocks with little difference in time were completely drawn on the paper, Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and folded the paper in half again and put it back in his pocket.

"We'll study this later, so far we still have to find Shen Tian and Shen Xin first." Lu Yan's voice was very soft.

But he spoke the only thought deep in everyone's heart.

Only by finding Shen Tian and Shen Xin, finding out what happened to them, and combining these pictures of the white dial, can we make a correct judgment.If you are a little bit more lucky, you can know the key conditions for clearing the game.

You Wu turned right, and entered a corner from the side next to the wall.

There was a door there, the long black lock was dusty, and it looked like no one had ever been there.

The door was unlocked like the metal cabinet just now, and You Wu took a deep breath and pushed it outside.

You Zhi couldn't help closing his eyes.

The door opened, and dust rose instantly from the stairs outside.

stairs?

You Wu squinted his eyes and covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, "I found it, it's the stairs of this laboratory building."

Lu Yan walked out of the door unhurriedly, leaning sideways against the wall and raised her head slightly.

"No one has been here, come here."

You Wu was the first to walk over, but turned around and bumped into a few people behind him who had been standing still and staring at him and Lu Yan for a long time, "Why are you standing there? You should follow me."

"Brother Yan..." You Zhi lowered his head and took two small steps forward, "From entering the hall on the first floor to here, we all rely on our own guesses, but just in case..."

What if you guess wrong?

You Wu suddenly froze in place, met Lu Yan's shallow eyes silently, moved his eyes a little further, and could vaguely see the scars on his body that had not fully healed.

It was the wound brought out from the blood baby village, but you could see the sharp pain in You Wu's chest.

That's right, they can't afford the punishment for breaking the rules alone, let alone the consequences of a complete failure of the entire game.

He didn't know how to respond, not even a word of encouragement.Youzhi's words are not unreasonable. This 5-star difficulty game is indeed very different from the previous ones. The game prompts are pitifully small, and they all fall into a situation of taking one step at a time.

But even so, he still trusted Lu Yan unconditionally.Just because of the sentence he once said, "No matter what, I will protect you."

You Wu suddenly turned back to stare at You Zhi's eyes, the corners of his mouth raised a lot: "Although I'm not sure what will happen in the future, but now, are you willing to trust your two brothers?"

A few seconds later, You Zhi laughed and jumped up the stairs lightly, "Nonsense, of course I believe it."

The stairs looked like no one had passed by them for many years, and only a few of their footprints were left in the dark dust that was spread all over the floor.

You Wu walked in the front row, and would stop and observe carefully at every turn, until everything was safe, then he gently took Lu Yan's arm and took a step forward.

I don't know how many turns to turn, You Wu finally stopped.He took a deep breath, staring at the round wooden sign hanging on the door in front of him.

——"4F"

It's the 4th floor where the elevator doesn't even stop.

Dust was everywhere under his feet, his nose was a little choked, and You Zhi pressed his mouth desperately, and his eyes gradually turned red.

Lu Yan nodded towards You Wu, and gently pushed open the door of the 4th floor stairwell.

wow——

A sour smell hit their faces in an instant, You Wu couldn't help raising his hand and fanned them a few times, but the smell still didn't dissipate.

The 4th floor looks like a showroom. There are more than a dozen transparent glass water tanks neatly placed in the huge space, each of which is 3 meters long.

"I'll go, if it weren't for the structure diagram of human body parts hanging on the wall over there, I almost thought I had entered some aquarium..." Zhao Yan squinted his eyes and glanced at the nearest water tank on the right .

This glance made Zhao Yan take two steps back in shock, and stepped on Wang Zhen's black leather shoes during the process.

Wang Zhen was a little helpless, but after all, the advantage of age was there, so he definitely wouldn't care about Zhao Yan.

He shrugged his shoulders and took two steps forward.

"These are also failures." Wang Zhen said coldly, "It's the same as the girl we saw on the boat before."

The glass water tank closest to them was full of green aquatic plants. Judging from the water flow rate and viscosity, it was indeed consistent with the culture solution mentioned in the memo.

In this tank, there is a boy floating.Through the glass box, You Wu could see his face clearly.

"It looks pretty good, but it's a pity." You Wu smiled lightly, and moved his gaze to the left.

Sure enough, like the npc on the wooden boat, someone cut off the waist with something, leaving only the tail of the fish randomly sewn together with fishing line.

It's just that this boy's fishtail is not as worn out as that of the woman on the wooden boat.

"The scales are all there, and there is no obvious wound on the fish's tail." Wang Zhen covered his nose, "It seems that the researchers in those laboratories haven't had time to discard it yet."

Since it is a failed product, it has no meaning for the laboratory.

You Wu didn't refute this time, but just took two steps forward.

Except for this water tank, every other water tank was filled with failed pieces that stitched ordinary humans and mermaid species together.

The tails of some failed fish had begun to rot, dark blue blood had melted into the entire culture medium, and the supposedly transparent water tank began to show a faint blue color.

This kind of blue looks more permeable.

And at this moment, a few quarrels suddenly came from the next room.

You Wu quickly squatted down and squeezed Lu Yan's wrist tightly.

"Someone."

Wang Zhen also frowned, his eyes fixed on that direction.

It was indeed a quarrel, and the voice sounded very familiar.

Lu Yan lowered her eyes and was still thinking carefully, but Bai Shao, who was leaning against the wall behind him, couldn't help but spoke softly.

"It's Shen Xin's voice." Bai Shao lowered his voice, turned his body sideways and pressed his right ear against the wall next to him. Two seconds later, he nodded again, "Absolutely, it must be him. He's still alive! "

If he is alive, it means that Shen Tian is also alive.

Bai Shao thought to himself.

"But how did Shen Xin get here?" Lu Yan suddenly had a question, "Even if they found the side door and went directly to the promenade on the first floor, leaving behind Shen Tian's red string bell, how can they arrive here?" The only way to the 1th floor...is the stairs we just came up."

But before a few of them passed by, there was nothing left on the stairs.

No one came at all.

With a sullen face, You Wu let go of her hand.

"From the point of view of our average player, the only way to get to the 4th floor is the route we took, but what if he is not an ordinary player?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was taken aback, and even Bai Shao sat paralyzed by the wall in an instant.

"What if his nature is different from ours? To reach the 4th floor of the building, he can use the elevator at will. He can go from the 2nd floor to the 5th floor first, and then use the same method with the researchers who appeared on the 4th floor before. "You Wu subconsciously expressed all her suspicions.

He snorted twice and then said: "And the most important point, if Shen Xin himself is the npc in this game, then the information in the system prompt just now... is completely correct."

The remaining 6 ordinary players...

"Because he's not human at all."
