Teacher Xiao Guangtuan lit up under the quilt.
Yu Tang moved his fingers, as if there was a slight electric current rushing along the place Zhan Chen kissed - all the way into his chest, stirring up enthusiasm.
Yu Tang pursed his lips and clasped Zhan Chen's wrist back hard.
Zhan Chen looked at him, wrapped his free hand around the back of Yu Tang's head, wrapped him around his chest and shoulders, and waited quietly for the dazzling light outside the window to go out.
……
The light from the flashlight left the translucent glass of the door.
Blindfolded hunters failed to find their prey and smashed the informer's mirror.
The sound of footsteps resounded in the dark corridor again, hitting the prey's precarious nerves lightly - heavily - heavily.
Yu Liuhui slumped down and sat down.
She watched her domain shatter in front of her eyes, and frantically tried to fish it out, but only touched the fragments of the mirror in her hand.
"Impossible...they must be hiding inside!"
Yu Liuhui shook her head desperately in disbelief. She struggled to knock on the door, but before she could touch the door, she was firmly held down by a shadow.
Yu Liuhui's eyes widened.
She looked at the person who was slowly stripping out of the shadows, and her face changed: "So it's you... You - followed me all the time, casting shadows on all my mirrors?!"
No wonder no matter which room she looked at just now, there was a figure sleeping in it!
That is not a real image at all!Someone manipulated the shadow and blocked her detection secretly!
Yu Liuhui struggled to get up, wanted to call the "principal" back, but after calling in vain several times, her face finally turned completely pale.
She was shocked to find that all the sounds she made were quickly swallowed up, like throwing a small stone into the sea, and silently sank into the shadow that enveloped her.
"This villa is alive, and I cannot imitate and manipulate everything that belongs to the orphanage."
Sui Zhengfan's voice sounded and slowly passed through the shadow domain to him: "The lizard's tattoo reminds me that I can still manipulate shadows."
Only light and shadow are free, not belonging to this orphanage, nor to the "principal".
Yu Liuhui sat slumped on the ground, as if she was looking at an enemy who was about to kill her, she stared at Sui Zhengfan, her eyes almost oozing hysterical hatred.
The ghost of "Dean" came to the end of his patrol and walked back slowly.
It didn't seem to notice anything strange about this shadow at all. When it reached the end of the corridor, the light of the flashlight flickered a few times, then turned around and turned back to the other end of the corridor.
No matter how desperately Yu Liuhui yelled and struggled, her voice was completely swallowed by that shadow.
"This is a trap." Sui Zhengfan said, "We can't follow the dean's rules. According to his rules, everyone will die."
Yu Liuhui didn't seem to hear his words at all, her eyes moved away, and she fixed her eyes on Sui Zhengfan's back.
Where the flashlight passed, the staircase that once brought the lizard up to the third floor suddenly appeared again!
The stairs this time must be a reward for her. The game has already promulgated the rules. The headmaster only likes obedient children, as long as they are obedient, they will be rewarded...
Yu Liuhui clenched her palms tightly, under the excruciating pain, her eyes showed chaotic ecstasy instead.
"No matter when, it is not a good choice to betray one's companions."
Sui Zhengfan didn't intend to provoke her any more, and slowed down his tone: "Go back, you didn't cause more serious consequences, there is still time—"
He didn't have time to finish his words, and suddenly snorted unexpectedly and pressed his arm.
Yu Liuhui was holding a sharp piece of broken glass, which severely scratched his domain.
Her hand was already drenched with blood from the piece of broken glass, but she still clenched it tightly and refused to let go, as if she was holding the last straw.
"Dean" didn't have his ears sealed, and when he heard the abnormal noise, the light of the flashlight immediately turned back.
Sui Zhengfan's body rubbed against the light of the flashlight, and almost melted into the shadows.
Yu Liuhui didn't have time to care about him anymore, she rushed over and tried her best to climb the stairs.
What made her a little strange was that no matter how much noise she made this time, not only did no power come out to block the way, even the ghost of the dean didn't turn to her again.
The flashlight just searched the place where the sound was made several times, and found nothing unusual, so it resumed its original patrol frequency.
Maybe I have finally become their "person", so I won't be rejected anymore, and I don't need to hide in fear anymore...
Yu Liuhui gritted her teeth, trying to swallow back the bitterness in her throat.
She's had enough of this deadly game, she just wants to live, to be back in her own world, not to live in fear and counting the minutes in this damn place.
She exhausted her last bit of strength and desperately climbed the seemingly endless stairs.
At the end of the stairs is an empty conference room.
There is also a portrait of the dean hanging in the conference room, like the one in the hall, with two black eye circles and two faded red crosses.
Next to the portrait is a bulletin board, which is tightly sealed by a glass cover.
……
Yu Liuhui hesitated for a while, but still bravely walked over tremblingly.
A conspicuous happy announcement was printed on the bulletin board. Two photos had already been posted inside, and the place for the third photo was still vacant.
The first photo was worn out and yellowed, and the child in it was wearing glasses and was sitting upright, like a little robot.Yu Liuhui didn't know her, she glanced over inadvertently, landed on the second one, and suddenly widened her eyes in astonishment.
In that photo, it was the lizard that had just been tipped off and charged up this staircase!
Like the dean, the lizard was also sealed in that photo, bumping around desperately, but couldn't escape the edge of the photo no matter what.
He was slowly yellowing and fading like the first photo, and the edges were beginning to wrinkle and curl.
He has indeed...become the dean's "person of his own".
Yu Liuhui suddenly had a terrible premonition uncontrollably, she turned around in a panic, trying to escape from this terrifying area, but an irresistible strange suction gushed out from behind her like a tide.
"Help!" Yu Liuhui screamed, "Help, help me——"
This time, no one could hear her voice at all.
She struggled in vain, but the suction seemed to allow no one to resist.Her body slowly melted into paint, and was filled into the last photo bit by bit. The air fluctuated twice, and a steel seal was knocked down out of thin air.
— A broken lens fell out of the air and landed on the ground.
Silence returned to the orphanage.
The light of the flashlight reached the end of the corridor, changed direction again, and turned back unhurriedly.
The sun rose as usual the next day.
At the same time as the first ray of sunlight slipped in, the ghost of the dean quietly disappeared into the corridor.
The players barely survived for half the night, and finally couldn't survive the double erosion of fear and fatigue. They lined up the candidates for the night duty and took turns sleeping in the second half of the night.
—Ye Ping An, Dai Lei woke up from the nightmare, sat up with a flutter, still a little unaccustomed: "We were not taken away? Nothing happened?"
"It seems that nothing will happen if you choose not to move."
Chai Ning looked at the new bandage on Sui Zhengfan's arm: "Mr. Sui, have you been attacked by Yu Liuhui?"
Sui Zhengfan's injury is not serious, but there are supernatural beings in their team who specialize in healing, so this kind of minor injury should be cured immediately.
Only the death-blow of the supernatural being with all his might can leave a supernatural being of Sui Zhengfan's level with such a wound that takes time to heal.
Sui Zhengfan sat leaning against the corner, he didn't want to say more about this, he shook his head: "I was not careful."
Chai Ning obviously didn't agree with his style of defending everyone, so she shrugged her shoulders and reached out to pull the doorknob of the bedroom without further words.
"Hey!" Dai Lei jumped in fright, and hurriedly stopped her, "You don't want to die? Who knows what will happen if you go out..."
"It can't be—straight here."
Chai Ning said: "I was too anxious last night, I didn't have time to figure out anything, I have to go and see what's going on."
Dai Lei was stunned for a moment, watching Meng Nanke come to her side, feeling a little resentful: "Forget it, let's go together... Anyway, our mission has been completed."
He and his partner were ordered to undergo transformation and entered this game to arrest Duan You, Cyclops, and Lizard.
Now all three of them are in the orphanage, and the task can be regarded as completed by accident.
"We only have these few people left. If it goes down, if there is any group activity that requires ten people to complete, it will not even be enough."
Dai Lei couldn't help sighing, he grabbed Song Sihang who had just woken up, and rubbed his sore neck with joy: "Maybe - when we open the door, someone will tell us that the game is over, everyone can go out……"
Chai Ning didn't have the leisurely mind of dreaming like him, opened the door, looked carefully at the noises outside, and walked out of the bedroom lightly.
She and Meng Nanke had originally hid on the second floor. At that time, everything here was bright and warm, and anyone could see it as a fully qualified high-quality orphanage.
After that door appeared, all the disguised illusions began to peel off, revealing the vaguely hidden true face.
……
The iron-gray walls are cold and depressing, the iron gates between the two opposite corridors are equipped with electric grids, the windows are completely welded to the railings, and large pieces of rust are blown by the wind and shake and fall down.
Outside the window, weeds are overgrown, and the garden landscape has not been carefully maintained. A few pieces of sports equipment are poked in the grass at half a person's height, crooked and almost toppled, with large stains on them.
Through the windows in the corridor, one could see the high wall outside. Countless pieces of broken glass were pierced on the wall, and there were sharp iron rods glowing coldly all over the place.
"……how could this be?!"
Dai Lei couldn't help frowning: "This doesn't look like an orphanage at all! It's an orphanage, it's better to say it's—"
"prison."
A voice behind him suddenly sounded, and Dai Lei jumped in fright, turned around abruptly, and heaved a long sigh of relief after seeing Sui Zhengfan's figure clearly.
He opened his mouth, wanting to tell the players to try not to be scary when communicating, but seeing Sui Zhengfan's expression, he swallowed the words unconsciously.
...For the first time, an uncontrollable anger appeared on the face of this overly good-tempered middle-aged man.
Sui Zhengfan walked to the window, the anger of being deceived for a long time pressed down in his eyes, and the arm hanging by his side was almost stiff.
——Over the years, the Sui family’s funds—have been pouring into this orphanage continuously,
They have also been to this orphanage many times, but they never imagined that each time they entered was actually a domain disguised by the director of the Secret Service Bureau with supernatural powers.
These children were tortured, abused, intimidated, and forced to answer questions that they could not understand in the cold wind-ravaged hall, and were taken out by the director of the orphanage, and they were used as bargaining chips without any scruples.
"Go and search the other kids' bedrooms."
Sui Zhengfan said: "According to what the NPC said, this orphanage is a domain formed by imitating the player's abilities and fusing books and Feng Qing's memories, so these levels must have their origins."
The piano keys that can eat people, the picture frame that can eat people, and the door to another world.
These parts that don't belong to Feng Qing's memory, if they don't come from fairy tale books or picture books, then they should be in other forms...
"It's a diary."
Yu Tang came over: "We searched the remaining bedrooms."
Among the children in the orphanage, there is a diary that is recorded in turn.
He and Zhan Chen appeared in the corridor suddenly, Dai Lei was startled and almost jumped up: "You two, can you make a little noise when you walk?"
Although he disagreed with handing over these two weird NPCs, he also had a lot of opinions on the sudden disappearance of these two people yesterday: "Since they are all in a team, at least don't run around in private? This is not your house... ..."
"It is indeed not my home." Yu Tang looked at Chai Ning, "Is it your home?"
Dai Lei was even more baffled, and was about to speak, but Chai Ning and Meng Nanke looked at each other and fell silent.
……
Dai Lei's eyes widened in astonishment.
"We don't know either." Chai Ning said, "Before we were adopted, our memory was cleaned."
Both she and Meng Nanke were adopted, and the forces in the marginal asteroid belt were chaotic, and the central star was out of reach, making it difficult to maintain the proper order.
It has long been an unwritten consensus that children in orphanages and slaves on the black market can be traded as pets and goods at will.
Before being traded, they will all have their original memories washed away.
They are blank line drafts that can be bought and sold at will, painted and colored again and again, changing their identities and fates.
"I thought this place was unfamiliar. I have never lived in such a nice place."
Chai Ning said: "But now it looks familiar, I recognize this place."
"The orphanage—players who have been rotating in all the time, we can more or less feel that it is not only looking for the dean, it should also be looking for us."
"I can remember a little bit of—things now."
Chai Ning walked to the window and tapped on the bulletproof glass: "I broke a leg on that wall."
"I wanted to run away, but someone brought the dean over."
"Actually, I don't blame her." Chai Ning said, "She was cleaning that day, accidentally broke the mirror in the bathroom, and was punished to sleep in the weeds. She was terrified, and it was very cold."
"She's freezing, and she's desperately trying to get into the house."
Chai Ning: "The dean allowed her to go back and rewarded her with a small mirror."
Hearing this, the expressions of Dai Lei and the others changed slightly.
...Yu Liuhui's special ability is a mirror.
That's why Yu Liuhui showed a stronger fear than others in the orphanage. During the exam, when the cold eroded into the hall, she was less able to resist the cold than others.
Among them, some were pulled in to replace the roles of children in the orphanage, while some returned to their original identities under the premise that their memories were washed away.
Not everyone succeeds in overcoming their fear, nor is everyone brave enough to stand up to a perpetrator who seems impossible to fight back.
"Not long after that, the two of us were sold."
Chai Ning looked at Meng Nanke: "A wealthy businessman bought us and wanted to train us to dance pas de deux and let us participate in competitions."
It is common for children in orphanages to be injured, and doctors will treat them in time, so as not to affect their "appearance", and they cannot get good prices from buyers.
Chai Ning didn't take the leg injury to heart, and it wasn't until she and Meng Nanke practiced high-altitude lifts that she realized that her leg could no longer dance.
The person who bought her found that the orphanage was shoddy, and returned the product angrily, and wanted to buy Meng Nanke another partner with better dancing.
She found an opportunity the night before the goods were returned and fled to the station, only to find that Meng Nanke had also escaped.
"I bombarded him, but he didn't go back." Chai Ning said, "I have to accept supernatural transformation together with me. Now it's good. Both of us can discharge electricity. Let alone lift in the sky, we can't even hold hands."
Meng Nanke was used to being scolded, so he still buried his head in silence, avoiding other people's eyes uncomfortably.
Chai Ning grabbed his clothes and pulled him back, and looked at Yu Tang: "Have you found our original diary?"
Yu Tang nodded and opened the diary: "There are many things mentioned in it."
Chai Ning flipped through a few pages of the diary and racked her brains to read it for a long time: "What the hell are we writing about?"
"..." Yu Tang coughed lightly, and raised his head to meet the faint smile in Zhan Chen's eyes.
The children don't know many words, and they can barely write a few words even after guessing, but they use horrible stick figures to do it for them.
When Yu Tang was in the small light group, the peak of his communication ability was almost at this level, and it was not that difficult to identify.
"From page -."
Yu Tang lowered his head, determined to temporarily ignore senior Zhan who took the opportunity to make fun of the electronic storm for three seconds, and opened the diary.
The children's handwriting is childish, crookedly writing on it the major events that happened in the orphanage.
"The uncles and aunts who funded the orphanage came to the orphanage."
"The new orphanage is very beautiful and there are many flowers. We were hidden in a small grid and were not allowed to come out."
"Uncles and aunts have no children, so they took away the most sensible elder brother."
"Someone wants to buy a child who can play the piano well."
"Someone wants to buy dancing kids."
"If you can't practice the piano well, you can only sleep on the stairs. When you fall while dancing, you will be thrown out the door."
"The elder brother who can make clay figurines secretly sent a letter outside."
"The most sensible elder brother came back to the orphanage to be a volunteer, gave us toffee, and wanted to help us study, and the principal was not allowed to beat us." "After the test, the new wooden man won the first place, and the other two won Second and third."
"They're not in the orphanage anymore, they're just pictures on the wall."
……
"I found where the ghostly staircase leads."
Yu Tang said: "It's not on the third floor, it's between the second and third floors, where there's a conference room."
He closed the diary and held Zhan Chen's hand on his back.
He held Zhan Chen's hand in his palm, raised his head, and looked at Zhan Chen's thoughtful brows.
Zhan Chen recovered his mind and met his gaze: "What's wrong?"
"It's time to show them, Senior Zhan." Yu Tang reminded, "That empty conference room."
Zhan Chen nodded, he took Yu Tang's hand back, and naturally pulled Yu Tang by his side, and slightly nodded at Sui Zhengfan: "Please follow me."
Yu Tang kept up with Zhan Chen's strength, walked in the empty corridor, and slowly grasped the notebook again.
In fact, he always had a question, but he never asked it.
——He failed the assessment as Feng Qing, and was coaxed by those people to strip off his most obedient and capable particles and hand them over to Chuanshuju, turning him into a 17-year-old Yu Tang.
It was his first time as a human being, and he interacted with Feng Qing's particles more or less, so Yu Tang directly had the same experiences and memories as Feng Qing.
But he was looking for Zhan Chen after all.
If the protagonist in that book is just a person named Sui Si, why would the electronic storm willingly hand over its own particles at that time?
Why did Nie Chi happen to choose that book on his own initiative to be a professional manager for the Sui family?
Yu Tang moved his fingers, as if there was a slight electric current rushing along the place Zhan Chen kissed - all the way into his chest, stirring up enthusiasm.
Yu Tang pursed his lips and clasped Zhan Chen's wrist back hard.
Zhan Chen looked at him, wrapped his free hand around the back of Yu Tang's head, wrapped him around his chest and shoulders, and waited quietly for the dazzling light outside the window to go out.
……
The light from the flashlight left the translucent glass of the door.
Blindfolded hunters failed to find their prey and smashed the informer's mirror.
The sound of footsteps resounded in the dark corridor again, hitting the prey's precarious nerves lightly - heavily - heavily.
Yu Liuhui slumped down and sat down.
She watched her domain shatter in front of her eyes, and frantically tried to fish it out, but only touched the fragments of the mirror in her hand.
"Impossible...they must be hiding inside!"
Yu Liuhui shook her head desperately in disbelief. She struggled to knock on the door, but before she could touch the door, she was firmly held down by a shadow.
Yu Liuhui's eyes widened.
She looked at the person who was slowly stripping out of the shadows, and her face changed: "So it's you... You - followed me all the time, casting shadows on all my mirrors?!"
No wonder no matter which room she looked at just now, there was a figure sleeping in it!
That is not a real image at all!Someone manipulated the shadow and blocked her detection secretly!

Hearing this, the expressions of Dai Lei and the others changed slightly.
...Yu Liuhui's special ability is a mirror.
That's why Yu Liuhui showed a stronger fear than others in the orphanage. During the exam, when the cold eroded into the hall, she was less able to resist the cold than others.
Among them, some were pulled in to replace the roles of children in the orphanage, while some returned to their original identities under the premise that their memories were washed away.
Not everyone succeeds in overcoming their fear, nor is everyone brave enough to stand up to a perpetrator who seems impossible to fight back.
"Not long after that, the two of us were sold."
Chai Ning looked at Meng Nanke: "A wealthy businessman bought us and wanted to train us to dance pas de deux and let us participate in competitions."
It is common for children in orphanages to be injured, and doctors will treat them in time, so as not to affect their "appearance", and they cannot get good prices from buyers.
Chai Ning didn't take the leg injury to heart, and it wasn't until she and Meng Nanke practiced high-altitude lifts that she realized that her leg could no longer dance.
The person who bought her found that the orphanage was shoddy, and returned the product angrily, and wanted to buy Meng Nanke another partner with better dancing.
She found an opportunity the night before the goods were returned and fled to the station, only to find that Meng Nanke had also escaped.
"I bombarded him, but he didn't go back." Chai Ning said, "I have to accept supernatural transformation together with me. Now it's good. Both of us can discharge electricity. Let alone lift in the sky, we can't even hold hands."
Meng Nanke was used to being scolded, so he still buried his head in silence, avoiding other people's eyes uncomfortably.
Chai Ning grabbed his clothes and pulled him back, and looked at Yu Tang: "Have you found our original diary?"
Yu Tang nodded and opened the diary: "There are many things mentioned in it."
Chai Ning flipped through a few pages of the diary and racked her brains to read it for a long time: "What the hell are we writing about?"
"..." Yu Tang coughed lightly, and raised his head to meet the faint smile in Zhan Chen's eyes.
The children don't know many words, and they can barely write a few words even after guessing, but they use horrible stick figures to do it for them.
When Yu Tang was in the small light group, the peak of his communication ability was almost at this level, and it was not that difficult to identify.
"From page -."
Yu Tang lowered his head, determined to temporarily ignore senior Zhan who took the opportunity to make fun of the electronic storm for three seconds, and opened the diary.
The children's handwriting is childish, crookedly writing on it the major events that happened in the orphanage.
"The uncles and aunts who funded the orphanage came to the orphanage."
"The new orphanage is very beautiful and there are many flowers. We were hidden in a small grid and were not allowed to come out."
"Uncles and aunts have no children, so they took away the most sensible elder brother."
"Someone wants to buy a child who can play the piano well."
"Someone wants to buy dancing kids."
"If you can't practice the piano well, you can only sleep on the stairs. When you fall while dancing, you will be thrown out the door."
"The elder brother who can make clay figurines secretly sent a letter outside."
"The most sensible elder brother came back to the orphanage to be a volunteer, gave us toffee, and wanted to help us study, and the principal was not allowed to beat us." "After the test, the new wooden man won the first place, and the other two won Second and third."
"They're not in the orphanage anymore, they're just pictures on the wall."
……
"I found where the ghostly staircase leads."
Yu Tang said: "It's not on the third floor, it's between the second and third floors, where there's a conference room."
He closed the diary and held Zhan Chen's hand on his back.
He held Zhan Chen's hand in his palm, raised his head, and looked at Zhan Chen's thoughtful brows.
Zhan Chen recovered his mind and met his gaze: "What's wrong?"
"It's time to show them, Senior Zhan." Yu Tang reminded, "That empty conference room."
Zhan Chen nodded, he took Yu Tang's hand back, and naturally pulled Yu Tang by his side, and slightly nodded at Sui Zhengfan: "Please follow me."
Yu Tang kept up with Zhan Chen's strength, walked in the empty corridor, and slowly grasped the notebook again.
In fact, he always had a question, but he never asked it.
——He failed the assessment as Feng Qing, and was coaxed by those people to strip off his most obedient and capable particles and hand them over to Chuanshuju, turning him into a 17-year-old Yu Tang.
It was his first time as a human being, and he interacted with Feng Qing's particles more or less, so Yu Tang directly had the same experiences and memories as Feng Qing.
But he was looking for Zhan Chen after all.
If the protagonist in that book is just a person named Sui Si, why would the electronic storm willingly hand over its own particles at that time?
Why did Nie Chi happen to choose that book on his own initiative to be a professional manager for the Sui family?
