Don't play games with sand sculptures

Parallel Time: 00:25.AM

In the middle of the night, Bai Ti had already fallen asleep.

[Bamboo: Since you don’t like it, why team up with her? ]

Ruan Mang sat at the door of the dormitory and looked down at the group news. She stepped on the door frame and stopped the female student who wanted to come in. Without raising her head, she said coldly: "There is no one here, go to the next door."

The female student didn't leave, she looked in and looked at Bai Ti, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, as if she wanted to come in, but she was afraid of Ruan Mang's legs that were not put down.She turned her gaze to Ruan Mang, who was chatting with her head down, and said softly, "Sister Ruan, it's time."

"Does it have something to do with me when the time is up?" Ruan Mang still didn't look up, he was busy typing, and rushed people again: "Go to the next door."

[She comes by herself. : Nguyen]

The female student showed embarrassment: "I have been there, and now it is the last room on the second floor."

Hearing this, Ruan Mang put down his feet and moved the chair back to make way.

"Thank you!"

After being let go, the female student hurriedly entered the room and turned around. After confirming that the player on the bed was slightly shadowed by the weak light, she just wanted to reach out her hand, but felt a chill behind her.

She turned her head and met Ruan Mang's gaze.

Ruan Mang stared at the female student expressionlessly. The dim light from the mobile phone screen cast on her face, and the shadow cast was more like a "ghost" than the female student. She said slowly, "Can you go to the next door?"

"I'm leaving right now!!"

The female student almost cried aloud, immediately withdrew her hand, ran out of the dormitory all the way, and went to the third floor.

Ruan Mang touched his face, then lowered his head and continued to read the messages on his phone.

[Bamboo: You can refuse. ]

[…: Nguyen]

Ruan Mang deleted the original words and sent an ellipsis at the end.

She can't say she hates Bai Ti, but if she likes it, she can't say she likes it much.

Maybe, she's not interested in living people.

[Zhu: Don’t think that Lao Wu and I don’t know that you picked up a milk cat seven years ago. (pick nose)]

[Zhu: I've seen it a long time ago, you just remember that cat! (smoking)]

[Zhu: Now that the milk cat has grown up, it is asking for canned food, will you give it? (cat probe)]

[I don't know how to raise a cat, it's easy to raise to death. : Ruan Mang]

Ruan Mang knew what Zhusheng meant, but he just didn't want to understand.

[Zhu: If you don’t know how to raise a cat, run away quickly. The cat will die of anger when it is left out. ]

Ruan Mang was a little shaken by this news, turned his head to look at Bai Ti who turned over and pretended to be asleep, smiled and shook his head, then typed a line and clicked send.

[Ruan: No, she won't. ]

[Ruan: She is very strong. ]

Seeing the reply, Zhu Sheng rolled her eyes, threw the phone at the end of the bed, and covered herself with the quilt to sleep.Wu Yuan, who was sitting on the opposite bed, was thoughtful and replied in the group.

[Wu: Some people, what they think in their hearts is different from what they say. ]

(Wu Yuan pats Ruan Mang)

(Wu Yuan withdraws and claps)

[Let's be friends. (death smile): Nguyen]

'what--'

Without waiting for the next message, Ruan Mang got up and pulled away the chair, and closed the door, blocking the screams from upstairs. The bosses are gone, those reflex arcs are too slow.

Third floor, room [309].

Yun Xi fell down in front of the sink mirror, her eyes covering her mouth in panic, as if she saw something frightening.She is also a new player, she is not very courageous, otherwise she would not be able to play in the low-level area.

After hearing the exclamation, Fan Yun quickly lifted the quilt and got out of bed to check the situation. After confirming that it was not the boss, she followed the sound and went to the bathroom with the lights on to find her roommate who was using the toilet.

Seeing Yunxi sitting on the ground, she quickly helped him up: "What happened?"

"I, I just saw..." Yunxi stood up with Fan Yun's strength, her face was still a little pale, she lowered her head and dared not look at the mirror: "I saw a person in the mirror, is it still there?"

"People?" Fan Yun looked at the mirror strangely, there were only the reflections of the two of them in the mirror, and there were no other people.She smiled reassuringly: "There is no ghost in the mirror, take a look again."

Yun Xi nodded and looked at the mirror again.

There was only Fan Yun's reflection in the mirror, Yun Xi looked away, and the shadow on the ground was only Fan Yun's shadow.She looked up at Fan Yun's expression, she didn't seem to notice the problem with the shadow.

She still remembered that her shadow was stepped on, and she pretended to be calm: "Well, I'm too nervous, I'll be fine after going to sleep." Then, she pushed Fan Yun out of the bathroom, and said, "You should rest first. , I'll wash my face and calm down."

"Then be careful." Fan Yun didn't want to stay, and quickly left the bathroom.

Lying on the bed, Fan Yun took out the crumpled task strip from her pocket, and with the light of the phone screen, her eyes fell on the "Death Reminder", her face gradually became serious.

[Death reminder: Shadow. ]

……

At around eight o'clock in the morning, the wake-up bell rang in the corridor of the dormitory.

When Bai Ti woke up, there was no one on the opposite bed.

She rubbed her sore eyes and began to change clothes.

That's okay, she still has a lot of time.

When Bai Ti finished washing and went out, there was no one in the corridor.Just when she was about to go downstairs, the sound of a heavy object falling from a certain room behind her successfully attracted her attention.

[205] Room.

When Bai Ti passed by, Ruan Mang was already lifting the second bed.

Under the bed board that was lifted earlier, there was a man's corpse wrapped with scotch tape. After Bai Ti carefully identified the face of the corpse, a person's name came to mind: Peng Jia.

The players in this game were much friendlier than the previous games, and they exchanged names with each other as soon as they got out of the car.

"boom"

Soon, the second bed was also overturned.

There was no one under the bed, Ruan Mang looked back at Bai Ti, and asked with a smile, "Any thoughts?"

Bai Ti was taken aback by the question, thought for a while, and said, "Why can other players come in?"

"That's a good question!" Ruan Mang snapped his fingers at her and kept smiling: "I don't know if you've noticed that every time a player dies in the game, the player can enter the death, death, and player's room to check for clues?"

Bai Ti understood, she went to Peng Jia's body and knelt down, tentatively stretched out her hand to poke his arm, unexpectedly found that the body was not hard, but still warm.

She withdrew her hand and looked at Ruan Mang in horror: "People are alive!!"

"Dead." Ruan Mang smiled, pulling back the overturned bed with one hand.Under Bai Ti's more terrified gaze, she walked up to Bai Ti, pulled Peng Jia's bed to recover, then pulled Bai Ti out of the room, and closed the door.

"Where are you going?" Bai Ti asked.

"There are still upstairs." Ruan Mang pointed to the top with a smile, "Maybe I found something."

Bewildered, Bai Ti followed Ruan Mang upstairs. After seeing Ruan Mang open the player's door, she followed to try to open the door. Unexpectedly, the door couldn't be opened.

In the next second, the first room Ruan Mang found was unlocked.

Bai Ti subconsciously looked up at the house number, [309].

This time, Ruan Mang didn't bother to lift the bed, but lay down on the ground to look under the bed.Seeing this, Bai Ti also lay down on the other side of the bed and looked in, but saw nothing.

Suddenly, Bai Ti felt someone tap her on the shoulder.

"Don't look, there's nothing over there." Ruan Mang motioned to Bai Ti to look under the bed on the other side, "Over there."

Bai Ti had an ominous premonition: "A corpse?"

Ruan Mang nodded: "It's a girl."

Bai Ti blinked and asked, "Who is it?"

"Look for yourself." Ruan Mang gave her a look, she would not deliberately remember the player's name, except for Bai Ti.

Bai Ti gave a weak "Oh", and still crawled under the bed to look at the face, she recognized that the corpse was Yun Xi.Reaching out to touch the corpse's arm again, she felt the expected warmth and softness.

"What's going on?!" She was stunned.

"The rules of the game in the low-level area." Ruan Mang explained, "The death rate of 1000 million virtual coins is different from that of 2000 million virtual coins. I guess players will not die until the last day. Don't forget the notes on the task bar, the game It goes on all day, and zero is the time of death."

"Do you still want to open the door?" Bai Ti asked.

"Go." Ruan Mang nodded, "Only after reading all of them can we know who is dead but still alive."

Bai Ti instantly understood what she meant, even if it was a low-level area, there would be plot traps.

[303] The door to the room is open, and the overhead light remains on.

There are already people in the room, and there is another person lying on the bed.

Ruan Mang reached out to stop Bai Ti, looked at Yu An who was standing by the bed, and said, "Did you find anything?"

"This man is dead." Yu An pointed to the man's body on the bed, and he was extremely calm.

"Is the corpse hard?" Bai Ti probed and asked, "I heard that the dead body will become stiff, is it true?"

Yu An was a little suspicious of her question, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She shook her head: "I don't know, I didn't touch it."

Hearing this, Bai Ti and Ruan Mang looked at each other, pressed down Ruan Mang's arm in front of him, walked into the room, rolled up his sleeves while talking: "Why don't you poke to see if you're dead."

Ruan Mang frowned, and reached out to Bai Ti: "Wait a minute."

Before Ruan Mang could stop him, Bai Ti's finger had already poked Lang Fei's arm, as cold as a stone.She looked up at the overhead light, stared at it for a while, then suddenly covered her eyes, and exaggeratedly shouted: "It's so dazzling! Turn off the light, my dear!!"

Yu An subconsciously looked at Ruan Mang at the door, "Oh~~~" in his eyes.

Ruan Mang: "..."

Ruan Mang covered his face and calmed down for a while, walked into the room and patted Yu An on the shoulder, sighing: "You are still young, you don't understand."

Yu An: "..." No, I understand!

With a "snap", Ruan Mang pressed the overhead light switch.

Nothing happened, the overhead light was still on.

Ruan Mang frowned slightly, and pressed the switch a few more times, but the light was still on.She seemed to know how the player in this room died, but she didn't know why he died so thoroughly.

The three of you looked at each other and fell silent.

After a while, Yu An couldn't help but say, "Then what, I'll go first." After she finished speaking, she left the room.

"Shall we go too?" Bai Ti pointed at the door.

"You go out first." Ruan Mang nodded, letting Bai Ti go first.

"Okay." Bai Ti responded, and then left.

After leaving the dormitory building, Bai Ti saw many NPC students coming out of the cafeteria and walking towards the teaching building.

"Hey, this way!"

Zhusheng and Wuyuan walked towards each other.

Zhusheng handed the packing bag in her hand to Ruan Mang, and said, "I brought you breakfast, steamed stuffed buns and soy milk. The things with soup are gone. You should get up earlier next time."

Bai Ti didn't know what to think of, her face blushed, and she shrank behind Ruan Mang.

When Ruan Mang took the bag, he pulled Bai Ti out from behind, his eyes full of disgust: "Why are you shy, those who don't know think I have done something to you."

"Did anyone die last night?" Wu Yuan asked.

Ruan Mang distributed the buns and soy milk to Bai Ti, and replied, "One died, and the other two are half dead."

Wu Yuan: "..."

Bai Ti opened the bun to look at the filling, the aroma of the meat filling immediately entered his breath, and the oil was still flowing.She quickly put the buns away to prevent the clothes from getting dirty, and then she saw Ruan Mang handing the paper to herself.

She was so moved that she almost cried: "My dear, you really..."

Before the word 'good' was pronounced, the paper in Ruan Mang's hand stuck to Bai Ti's face.

"Don't look, let's go."

Wu Yuan pulled away the bamboo fungus who was eating melons in the front row.

Bai Ti shook her face. After the tissue fell, before she had time to speak, she saw two familiar faces appearing among the NPC students, who were just stuck under the bed board.

Perhaps feeling the sight, Yun Xi stopped talking to Fan Yun and looked back.

For a moment, Bai Ti saw that Yun Xi's eyes were pure white.She was taken aback, and when she rubbed her eyes and looked again, Yun Xi had already turned her head back and walked away with Fan Yun.

"Don't watch." Ruan Mang stretched out his hand to hook Bai Ti and walked forward, took a sip of soy milk, and said, "I'll watch it in the classroom later, take a closer look."

Bai Ti took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun and whispered, "You're jealous."

"I didn't!!" Ruan Mang shouted while turning his head.

Bai Ti wiped her face and smiled: "I wasn't sure just now, but now I'm sure."

Ruan Mang: "..." Fuck, I fell for it.
