Footsteps sounded in the empty corridor.

The dazzling flashlight pierced into Liu Hui's eyes, her body stiffened suddenly, she almost screamed in fear, but was tightly covered by her own hand.

Song Sihang's face also turned pale. He looked around and asked silently, "Did you hear the sound of breathing?"

The children's breathing was intermittent, as if they were overly frightened.

There were small hands on their shoulders, clutching their clothes tightly, and the weak air flow seemed to really brush their ears.

... The principal is looking for the child who eavesdropped on the secret.

Children who eavesdrop on are disobedient and will be severely punished by the principal.

Fear is contagious, and the emotions in the air flow slowly like substance, along with the deep and shallow rapid breathing of children, passing through a long time, and dripping into the ears of outsiders.

Yu Liuhui was almost paralyzed on the ground, her body trembling uncontrollably, and her tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"If found..." Chai Ning mouthed, "What are the consequences?"

Team doctor Sui and her husband looked at each other, their eyes sank involuntarily, and they shook their heads.

In the phone call just now, the director of the Secret Service who was also the "Dean" mentioned that they wanted to make a deal with the terminal, exchanging the core particles of the electronic storm for a set of brainwashing and system implantation equipment.

……

The Ministry of Security is aware of this matter.

They have been monitoring the actions of those conservatives, knowing that the conservatives have used this interstellar space to make a deal with a certain high-dimensional civilization.The top leaders of the alliance have already started to deal with this matter, but in terms of handling methods, the Ministry of Security has gradually divided into two distinct factions.

The Secret Service strongly advocated intervening in this transaction, taking the initiative away from the conservatives, and offering a higher price that would satisfy those high-dimensional civilizations.

Sui Zhengfan was still the section chief of the Special Investigation Section at that time. He was ordered to participate in the formation of the Special Forces and monitor the Special Forces at the same time. The more he penetrated into the confidential information sealed inside the military, the clearer the consequences would be if he did so.

The strength of the Sui family was not enough to stop this matter, so Sui Zhengfan went to visit Pu Sicun, who had retired long ago, after deliberation, and asked him to come forward and reject the proposal of trading with the terminal.

A month later, Pu Sicun's grandson disappeared in an electronic storm.

That is the smartest and most obedient child of the Pu family, the next generation successor that the Pu family has already decided.

Not long after, Pu Sicun completely withdrew from the alliance headquarters, no longer participated in the parliament, and no longer supported the younger generation to stir up any political disputes.

…It now appears that this refusal only prevented the ambition of the director of the Secret Service on the surface, but failed to prevent the transaction from happening.

"The punishment for the kids is simple, just pushing people out the door."

Sui Zhengfan said silently: "President's punishment will only be more serious and cruel."

"Xiaozhan and I stay here for the time being. You find your respective bedrooms and go back. Once you get back to your bedroom, immediately pretend to be asleep."

Sui Zhengfan spoke very slowly, supplemented by gestures, trying his best to ensure that everyone could understand: "You must not make a sound when you act..."

"Why do we have to play hide-and-seek?" In the corner, the lizard who had been motionless asked suddenly, "Why can't we hand over the person who got the full score?"

Song Sihang stared at him in astonishment: "What did you say?"

"Didn't the two of them run away first?"

Lizard's face was gloomy, and his voice was extremely hoarse: "Why did the two of them run away? Isn't it because of this?"

Yu Liuhui was so frightened that she lost her mind, she looked back and forth, and her expression also showed a faint wavering: "NPC... NPCs can't die, right?"

She swallowed dryly in fear, and asked in a low voice: "Is that dean also an NPC? He won't kill his own people..."

Sui Zhengfan's expression turned cold.

The trio came out of the basement and wanted to attack them. Duan You and Cyclops died outside the "door". The lizard was honest and silent. So far, nothing happened, so they didn't take any extra measures for now.

"It's best not to advise you." Sui Zhengfan's eyes fell on him, his gentle brows showed a faint sternness, "They are on our side now, besides——"

Before Sui Zhengfan could finish his words, Yu Liuhui suddenly pushed Team Doctor Sui away, struggled to get up and ran out.Sui Zhengfan hugged his wife, his eyes suddenly became sharp: "Stop him!"

Chai Ning pressed one hand on the metal border of the floor tiles, the electric light crackled between her fingers, and caught up with the figure in a blink of an eye, and the jumping arc instantly bit Liu Hui's calf.

Yu Liuhui's legs went numb, and she fell to her knees involuntarily.

Their reaction was fast enough, but they still caught the attention of the "Dean". The flashlight beamed directly from the gloomy and dark corridor: "Who's there!"

Song Sihang dived over, covered Yu Liuhui's mouth tightly, and dragged the struggling person back.

The footsteps were getting closer and faster, walking towards them.

Sui Zhengfan took out the gun he carried with him: "Hurry up!"

The players left the stairway with help. Dai Lei just woke up, grinning and pressing his aching head, and together with Song Sihang dragged the unsteady Yu Liuhui into the nearest bedroom.

Yu Liuhui struggled desperately: "You are going to die, why are you dragging me?! If this continues, we will all be caught..."

Her spirit was on the verge of collapse, but she still didn't dare to speak loudly, her breath trembled so badly that she couldn't form a word.

No one had time to explain to her that the children's bedroom was similar to an old-fashioned student dormitory, and there was a transparent glass on the door that could be seen from the outside to the inside. Deal with them, sooner or later they will still be found.

Chai Ning quickly tore off half of the bed sheet, and together with Meng Nanke, temporarily stuck the glass on the door from the inside.

After Sui Zhengfan and his wife broke up, they leaned against their backs with their guns on guard, and finally moved into the bedroom, closing the door firmly: "Is everyone here?"

"Yes." Dai Lei said, "Isn't it—"

He paused suddenly, his eyes widened in astonishment.

...the lizard that manipulated the tattoo is gone!

"We were staring at him!" Dai Lei looked back and forth in astonishment, "How is that possible? He was here just now!"

"There!" Yu Liuhui tremblingly pointed to an inconspicuous ink stain in the corner, "His whole body got into the tattoo, I saw..."

The voices of the players were all very soft, but the patch of ink still wavered vigilantly, and quickly slipped out along the crack of the door.

Sui Zhengfan immediately pulled the trigger, but the silenced electromagnetic gun seemed to fail suddenly, turning into a powerless toy.

"We are children now." Team doctor Sui pressed her husband's arm, and said in a deep tone, "Children can't use guns."

Sui Zhengfan frowned, he motioned for everyone to disperse and hide, and then sneaked low to the door, and used the barrel of his gun to lift a bit of the sheet covering the glass.

……

A lizard emerges from a tattoo.

The flashlight immediately pierced his eyes, Lizard immediately raised his hand, and stood motionless: "I know who wrote that paper! I didn't eavesdrop, I'll tell you..."

Dai Lei gritted his teeth anxiously, and cursed silently: "Trash!"

The flashlight paused for a moment, then slowly lowered, and the sound of footsteps stopped in front of the lizard.

The dean's voice became kind again: "Who is it? Tell the dean, and the dean will send you to study too."

"It's the person sitting at the proctor's table!"

The lizard was overjoyed, swallowed, and said in a low voice: "He is not among the original ten children in the orphanage, he is the other one, and they have escaped now..."

The dean's voice asked, "Do you know where you went?"

The lizard froze, and he opened his mouth, hesitating a little: "We are all sealed here... Anyway, we are on this floor, so we won't run too far!"

The dean didn't make another sound, but just signaled with the light of the flashlight.

Following the light emitted by the flashlight, a staircase leading to the third floor suddenly emerged quietly.

...the stairs to the upper floor!

The downstairs environment is no longer suitable for survival. After passing a level, you can go up to the next floor, and the exit must be upstairs!

The lizard leader heaved a sigh of relief, he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart any longer, he quickly ran up the stairs without thanking him.

The light of the flashlight went out behind him.

……

After a few seconds, the dean's footsteps resounded in the empty corridor again.

"We'd all have had a chance to get out!"

Yu Liuhui was trembling, she was a little hysterical, her eyes were bloodshot: "Now I can only play hide-and-seek here..."

She couldn't control her voice a little bit, Song Sihang had to keep persuading her in a low voice to force her to calm down a little.

"This is not the way." Chai Ning whispered, "We are all staying in one bedroom, and we will be found sooner or later."

The children who eavesdropped were found out by the dean, and they were so frightened that they flocked into the bedroom closest to the stairs.

It won't be long before the dean finds them.

Or...the dean has found them.

Fear, fatigue and weakness continued to attack the children hiding in the house. Feng Qing was not there, they were terribly frightened, and their psychology was slowly and continuously breaking down.

Song Sihang suddenly snorted.

Dai Lei turned around suddenly, and Song Sihang had been held hostage by Yu Liuhui, and there was a sharp mirror fragment around his neck.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I just want to live, I don't want to die in the game."

Yu Liuhui trembled: "I won't betray you. If you let me out of this bedroom, he won't feel that there are people in this bedroom, right? I just went to help them find two NPCs. NPCs are data. Can't die."

Dai Lei was impatient for a while. He was afraid that she would hurt his partner, but he couldn't help being annoyed: "NPCs can be formatted and their data can be cleared! How is this different from being dead?"

Yu Liuhui shook her head helplessly: "I can't care about that much anymore..."

Her ability is "mirror". The broken lens in her hand is her domain. The mirror can grow endlessly. No matter where people hide, as long as they are illuminated by the mirror, they can be found.

Yu Liuhui held Song Sihang hostage, moved to the door trembling, quickly opened the door, and ran out without looking back.

Sui Zhengfan gestured resolutely, and with a flash of his figure, he also went out quietly.

This villa has awakened self-awareness, Sui Zhengfan's domain cannot take effect, but the most basic "mimicry" ability can still come in handy.

The bedroom door was closed again, and Sui Zhengfan's figure quickly disappeared after going out, becoming a part of the shadow under the moonlight.

Yu Liuhui stood in the corridor and waved desperately: "Here! Is there anyone? I can help you find those two people..."

……

The bedroom at the end of the corridor.

Yu Tang stumbled half a step and bumped into Cheng Chen's arm.

They didn't leave the player team suddenly, but they were dragged by a force and fell through the wall and fell into a bedroom.

Surrounded by Zhan Chen, Yu Tang regained his footing and took a closer look at the empty bedroom.

It seems to be a bedroom of a child in an orphanage, the layout is simple to a bit shabby, the most common hard board bed with white walls, the curtains are short, and there is an exercise book on the low table in the corner.

The exercise set is very dilapidated, as if it was bought from a scrap bin, but it was carefully protected by the user, and the book cover was carefully wrapped in transparent plastic paper.

The system took courage, zoomed in on the camera, and looked carefully at the exercise book.

Yu Tang asked, "What subject?"

"...Advanced Mathematics." The system said, "There is also a name written on it, host."

The system closed the cover of the exercise set. The handwriting on it was immature, but the strokes were extremely neat, and the name of the owner of the exercise set was written.

Pu Ying.

Yu Tang raised his eyebrows slightly, walked over lightly, and opened the exercise book.

The back pages of the exercise book are not high-level math topics.

On the yellowed paper, the handwriting is neatly arranged, but the content is like an incomprehensible scripture, and half a word is unreadable.

The system searched hundreds of interstellar language libraries for a long time, but still found nothing: "Host, this should not be some kind of text that exists in our current and historical records..."

Yu Tang turned the pages intently, stretched out his hand and was about to speak, when there was already a flattened note in his palm.

Yu Tang was stunned for a moment, raised his head to meet Zhan Chen's gaze, and could not hold back the corner of his mouth.

He took the note, took the opportunity to hold Zhan Chen's hand that he hadn't had time to put away, and put the note that the players found from under the carpet next to the open exercise book.

After careful comparison for a long time, the system said in amazement: "...Host, the words above are the same!"

Yu Tang nodded, made a gesture with Zhan Chen, put the note into the exercise book, and put it into the sea of ​​consciousness together.

When Feng Qing was in the orphanage, he hadn't read a book for a day, and being able to recognize a few words was already the limit, and it was impossible to understand those calculus problems.

They were in Feng Qing's memory, viewing the entire orphanage from Feng Qing's perspective.In Feng Qing's eyes, Pu Ying's exercise book and the note left by Pu Ying are no different from the heavenly book, so they can only see the handwriting that seems to be scribbled like the heavenly book.

"Senior Zhan." Yu Tang whispered, "We—"

His voice was already very soft, but before he could finish speaking, his expression changed slightly.

Zhan Chen put one hand on the top of Yu Tang's head, pressed him into his arms in time, leaned down against the wall, and hid himself low by the door.

...a blinding flashlight shines in the hallway.

The sound of footsteps came from far to near, and crystal bright colors faintly spread in from the crack of the door, folding out the moonlight cast in from the window.

It's a shard of a mirror.

There are detection-type supernatural beings who are investigating to help the "Dean" find their whereabouts.

The rules of the orphanage are very strict, each child can only sleep in his own bedroom, and no one is allowed to go to other people's houses at night, otherwise they will be taken away by the director and punished.

Each mirror is connected to each other, and the image will be sent back to the broken mirror in the core field.No matter how dark the room is, as long as there are two figures in the room in the mirror, you can judge their hiding position.

"It must be here, there is nothing wrong..."

Yu Liuhui led the invisible "principal", looking at the flashlight that followed her all the way, cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

For some reason, no matter which bedroom her glasses were in, there was a vague shadow of a sleeping child.

This is the last room, if you can't find it again...

The lens in Yu Liuhui's hand flickered, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly pointed to the last bedroom: "This is it! They are here—"

Zhan Chen reacted very quickly, he stretched out his hand to pick up Yu Tang, avoiding the scope of the mirror, and quickly tapped the password for an advance apology on Yu Tang's back with his fingers.

In the next second, the light from the flashlight shot straight in.

The shadow instantly covered the lens, and the mirror became dark and blurred.

Yu Liuhui's excitement was concentrated on her face, she looked at the image on the shadow, and raised her head in disbelief.

... The light from the flashlight only illuminated one person.

Zhan Chen had already followed Pu Ying's habit, lying still facing the wall, and stuffed Teacher Xiao Guangtuan into his bed.
