Striped Retriever

Now there are two people in the room who have problems with their status, one is Ye Wei who gave the wrong answer, and the other is Ke Chenlin who was completely dumbfounded after the inexplicable referee's exit.

The high school student saw Ke Chenlin opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but gave up later.

Ke Chenlin wanted to submit an answer.

He didn't figure out what the dungeon was about, but he knew that as long as the information was submitted, there was a high probability that he could hear the referee's voice, and he could further compare whether the voice was the same as the voice in his memory.

But Ke Chenlin didn't do this, he didn't dare, because if he made a mistake, he would be punished immediately.

Punishment may endanger life, but if that person is really still alive, I dare not die easily.

This groundless and unsubstantiated but similar voice injected vitality into Ke Chenlin.He waited for three years, but he couldn't "come out" as those people comforted him, but if the other party was alive, he might be able to "go back".

Going back to the comfort zone, like every day three years ago, always come back home after the busy, they will talk for a long time.Even if there is no communication, just leaning side by side on the sofa listening to boring TV programs and waiting for hypnosis is enough.

Instead of picking up the daily life that seemed boring at the time in the memory every night, I look forward to having a similar dream, in which everything goes step by step, and then I wake up feeling lost.

It wasn't until Ke Chenlin realized that he began to miss those trivial things and daily necessities that he realized that his life was not very good.

Because when the ordinaryness of the past was cast a filter, and when it was dubbed tenderness and romance, it just means that those times can no longer go back.

They grew up together, and they can find each other's shadow in almost every corner of their lives.After the two were together, they worked hard to maintain each other's home, from the house and car, to future planning.Their life is not one-way, but around bonding, they are a community of feelings and destiny.

Like conjoined twins who share some organs but have two brains.To tear them apart abruptly is blood and flesh.The one that was ripped off died, and if the remaining one was unlucky enough to survive, he could only bear the huge wound with deep visible bones and slowly wait for the day when his rot would end.

And the news that the man is still alive is like lighting a fire on a lawn that is about to die. The fire spreads fiercely and is out of control. It is unknown whether a new life will be ushered in after the fire.

"Ke Chenlin? Ke Chenlin!" Old Qian shook Ke Chenlin's head twice, finally bringing Ke Chenlin back to his senses.

"What are you thinking about?" Old Qian's voice was very loud, "Looking at the bitter and bitter."

Ke Chenlin twitched the corners of his mouth, not as if he was smiling: "After leaving the dungeon, I have to clean up the house. I have made a bit of a mess over the years."

"Ah?" Lao Qian didn't come back to his senses, and didn't understand what kind of brain circuit this guy was, how did he get involved in cleaning the house.

The high school students obviously don't understand either: "Isn't the biggest question now what the punishment is?"

Ke Chenlin glanced at Ye Wei, who was nervous, and said calmly: "I don't know what the punishment is, there is no trace, and it's useless to think about it." His tone was still so indifferent, without any extra sympathy.

"What do you mean?" Ye Wei, who was already nervous, looked up at Ke Chenlin, "Do you think I deserve to die?"

"No." Ke Chenlin shook his head.

However, his indifferent appearance seemed to ignite Ye Wei all of a sudden, and Ye Wei stood up abruptly. If it wasn't for the old Qian Qian who was about to stop him, he probably would have rushed over to give Ke Chenlin a punch. .

"Of all the players, you have the biggest problem!" Ye Wei pointed at Ke Chenlin and shouted, "Did you kill me just now!" His eyes gouged out a piece of flesh from Ke Chenlin's body.

"I was taking a shower just now." Ke Chenlin felt that he couldn't understand this man's thinking.

"When Chang Donglai was taken away just now, did you trip me! You are here to pretend your mother is calm!" Ye Wei originally didn't want to stand out, but Chang Dong said that everyone should cooperate well, and he also just wanted to make a call. Cooperate.

Why did he suddenly bump into Chang Donglai, why did he take his life on his back all of a sudden?Here he alone was anxious, for he would indeed be punished for not succeeding, a punishment which might very well lead to his own death.

"So you think my reaction is too strange?" Ke Chenlin understood, "Then why do you doubt me?"

"What do you mean?" Ye Wei felt that Ke Chenlin had said something nonsense, "Do you think you look like a normal person?"

"I'm surprised, this can be seen by an individual." Ke Chenlin was still calm, and he sat up straighter.

"Suppose, I have no desire to get out alive, so why would I harm you? And if I have a very strong desire to live, and I am going to test the waters with other players." Ke Chenlin put his finger on his face , "Does my behavior mean I have engraved 'something wrong' on my face?"

"If the game had a voting mechanism, and whoever voted would die, I would definitely be the first one to be voted out. Because you all looked normal, and I was the only one who was not quite right." Ke Chenlin didn't want to go any further. .

Is he indifferent?Well, it seems a little bit.But even if he was sad and uncomfortable when Chang Donglai died, and Ye Wei was shocked and angry when he submitted the answer without telling them, it would not help, nothing would change.

Ye Wei didn't make a sound anymore, but his eyes were still fixed on Ke Chenlin, obviously he didn't believe much in Ke Chenlin's words.

He felt that Ke Chenlin was justifying himself.

Ke Chenlin, on the other hand, looked at the high school student who had been secretly observing him. When the eyes of the two met, the high school student was startled and hastily turned his gaze away.

"Okay, okay, let's figure out a solution together." Old Qian helplessly smoothed things over, "It's useless to make trouble at this time."

The referee didn't say what kind of punishment it would be. They could only take one step at a time and follow the rules for the time being.

When it was about to go to evening self-study, the four of them went out together, and ran into the mentally handicapped man named Bai Wen at the door of the men's dormitory.

He was still holding his schoolbag, the bottom of the schoolbag was black, and the cat's blood had solidified.

Only Ke Chenlin had seen this person before, and after Ke Chenlin called out the other person's name, the other three also understood.

Bai Wen didn't pay attention to Ke Chenlin who called him, his eyes fell on Ye Wei's body, Ye Wei's heart trembled.

"Look at your toes." Bai Wen said, "Look at your toes, don't look up."

"What?" Ye Wei's heart tightened.

"Don't look in the mirror, don't listen to the sound, don't dance." Bai Wen continued, "Look at your toes, don't look up." His tone was a bit like a first-grade elementary school student being forced to read a text aloud emotionally.

Finally finished the sentence: "Wait for dawn." After that, Bai Wen ran away with his schoolbag in his arms.

Is this a hint?Ke Chenlin frowned as he watched Bai Wen bounce away.

This white smell is very strange.

Meng Tingting who jumped from the building must have some problems, especially what happened in the class all point to this Meng Tingting who jumped from the building.

And it was a man who jumped off the building for the first time, not Meng Tingting from the public opinion center.

If Meng Tingting is not a "child", then who is?That Bai Wen who was not liked by his mother at all?Or is this a topic that can be extended in meaning?Are the immature children in the whole class?That's outrageous too.

"This Bai Wen doesn't have McDonald's syndrome, does he?" the high school student scratched his head, "Didn't you say that he killed a cat?"

"What disease?" Lao Qian was completely out of the ordinary.

"I don't know about this, but he has an IQ barrier. Can IQ barriers coexist with Macdonald?" Ke Chenlin asked casually.

"It's just a guess, a possibility." The high school student said, and then took another look at Ke Chenlin.

He always felt that something was wrong with Ke Chenlin after the referee finished speaking, but he couldn't describe what was wrong in detail.

"So what did he mean?!" Ye Wei's voice was a little out of tune, "Is it telling me to stare at my feet from now on and not look at anything?"

"I don't know, I can't see anything now." Ke Chenlin answered honestly.He was just curious whether Ye Wei was impulsive or

But this kind of honesty is not what Ye Wei wants. He hopes that someone can give a reasonable analysis at this moment.And in the face of the coming punishment, he knew nothing.

It is already evening now. Generally speaking, no matter whether it is early or late in summer, people will not feel cold.

But the wind blowing on their bare arms at this moment made the hairs stand on end.

The tingling feeling seemed to have penetrated into their clothes, from the back of the spine straight up, until it spread all over the body.

The campus at night seems to be the most dangerous.

They met the female players at the door of the classroom. When the three female players saw them, they all looked at Ye Wei. They didn't look very happy, especially the youngest girl, who rushed directly to Ye Wei. Seeing Ye Wei rolled his eyes.

Obviously they also heard the referee's voice and knew that the punishment was about to fall.

However, Ye Wei did not discuss this behavior of reporting without authorization with them.

"We need an explanation." The red-haired woman frowned and said, "Why was the answer submitted? Did you discuss it together or did Ye Wei submit it without authorization?"

"It's hard to say." Ke Chenlin was taking a shower at the time, and after submitting the answer, he heard the shouts of the other two, as if he was shocked, but this does not mean that Ye Wei's act of submitting the answer was his own brain twitching It was made, but after some human guidance.

The kind of guidance that he himself didn't realize.

Ke Chenlin said that he was in the bathroom at the time, and after not knowing what was going on, he entered the classroom and returned to his seat.

His tablemate was still gnawing on the spicy sticks.

Ke Chen looked over his head before parting, and saw that it was still the same brand that had increased in price.

"Your desks are full of these?" Ke Chenlin asked.

The deskmate who was eating spicy sticks looked at Ke Chenlin, his eyes were directed at Ke Chenlin, but they were unfocused, gray-black pupils.

He looked like a dead person, even his complexion was blue.

"It's easy to get angry if you eat too much." Ke Chenlin pointed at the other person's face, and continued, "Look, acne, you can't eat too much at this time, do you know how many additives are in it?"

He is not afraid of the dead, this has nothing to do with his past occupation, but his growth always seems to be accompanied by a tragic death.

Of course, everyone has to experience parting when they grow up, but as far as he knows, others don't seem to be as frantic as he is.

The deskmate turned his head back, as if he had lost interest in Ke Chenlin.

Ke Chenlin looked up again. The faces of the people around him were all dead white. It was as if they were mixed into a pile of zombies, and these "zombies" were obviously more sensitive to their conversations.

The most nervous thing is Ye Wei, he doesn't know when the punishment will come, maybe it has already come, but he himself doesn't know.

Who is it?Ke Chenlin glanced at the faces of these players, who is most likely to guide Ye Wei?

Ke Chenlin finally set his sights on the old money in the Mediterranean Sea.

Old Qian also noticed Ke Chenlin, and shook his hand at Ke Chenlin as a greeting.

They don't have mobile phones, so it shouldn't be the female players.

After Ye Wei bumped into Chang Donglai who subconsciously lied, his mentality was probably on the verge of collapse.After all, there is a high probability that a young man who has just graduated has no experience of indirectly killing someone.

That high school student?No, that high school student has been observing himself, because his behavior is too weird for the other party.

That old money?This middle-aged man who doesn't seem to understand the situation yet?

Ke Chenlin thought it was funny, those people would divide him and Lao Qian into two groups because of their looks, but in fact they were only four years apart.

A bald-haired man with a kind smile and a loud voice seems to be easily misunderstood by these children.

The kind of people who are out of touch with society, have worrying aesthetics, watch marketing accounts every day, or are keen to go fishing with a bucket or keep healthy at home will remind these children of their elders at home.

Those who have been labeled in the eyes of children.

But in fact, it has never been these high-spirited and avant-garde children who master the rules of this world.

What if, when Ye Wei's psychological defense collapsed, an elderly "nice guy" who couldn't figure out the situation casually mentioned some possibility?

Maybe Ye Wei just heard it.

Ke Chenlin got up again and walked to the high school student.

The rules in the classroom were not that strict, but since it was night, everything might be different, so Ke Chenlin had to hurry up.

He can't die here just yet.

Seeing Ke Chenlin's excellent face slowly approaching, the high school student felt goose bumps on his skin.Especially Ke Chenlin wrapped his arms around his shoulders familiarly.

The high school student's body was stiff, his words were stuck in his throat, he didn't understand what Ke Chenlin meant.

"Relax." Ke Chenlin whispered, "Just talk to the elders." A high school student is only 16 years old, and Ke Chenlin is twenty years older than him. When he got married earlier, he would be a high school student at this age. The father who gave birth is all right.

Who has a rare breed like you!The high school student couldn't help complaining in his heart.The elders in the family who are Ke Chenlin's age are basically fat, even if they are thin, they can't grow up to be like Ke Chenlin.

If everyone closes their eyes and doesn't look at their eyes, Ke Chenlin will be younger than many of his "young and mature" classmates.

"Does Brother Qian have any children?" Ke Chenlin asked directly.

The high school student's eyes suddenly became vigilant: "Yes, why are you asking this?"

"His child, no, it should be his child's classmate, did he experience some kind of bullying? Being rumored, bullied by classmates. This child has good grades, and the child's parents are very proud." Ke Chenlin's tone finally Faster, "Maybe the parents deliberately embarrassed the child? Then the child self-harmed?"

The high school students looked surprised.

"Why did he bring this up... Forget it, you don't know if you ask me. But did you agree?" Ke Chenlin asked again, "You should have been talking about this dungeon at first, and then extended to similar topics up."

This kid happened to be in high school, and he felt quite empathetic to the dissatisfaction of the system and parents. There are similar incidents in many schools. To put it bluntly, this is a public subject.

On this issue, Brother Qian and the high school students can chat and even have some disputes.Because Brother Qian can represent "old-fashioned", and the high school student is the young man who tries to persuade the old-fashioned Brother Qian.

"So 'Death caused by campus bullying is not suicide, but a collective murder.' Who of you said something like this?" Ke Chenlin wanted to smile at the increasingly nervous high school students, so that they could relax A little bit, but after he pulled the corner of his mouth, the other party's expression became more frightened, and it seemed that he failed to smile again.

Ye Wei, who was most nervous, submitted this answer, and at the same time gave everyone more information, ruled out the two options that everyone guessed at the beginning, and figured out what kind of punishment there would be, and even drew a referee, which served multiple purposes.

Before the high school student could respond, Ke Chenlin let go of him and returned to his seat.

Judging from the choked expression of the high school student, there is a high probability that he said this.It is estimated that the purpose is to persuade old money with conservative thinking.

Just as Ke Chenlin returned to his seat, the class bell rang and the head teacher walked in.

Evening self-study is impossible for real self-study, and the schedule is clearly arranged.When the class teacher walked in, everyone looked at the blackboard, including the deskmate who had been eating snacks.

Ke Chenlin was sitting in the front seat. He looked back at the smaller student behind him, who was indeed looking in the direction of the blackboard.

Ke Chenlin was sure that the other party couldn't see anything, because his height of 1.8m/[-] stood straight in front of him, and the other party could only stare at the back of his school uniform seriously.

It's just a mechanical movement. At night, these students lose the vitality they had during the day.

Moreover, the homeroom teacher whose daughter jumped from the building seemed quite at ease. Although her face was pale, she was smiling, which was more gentle and natural than Ke Chenlin's.

The class was still the same as during the day, but when the get out of class was over, two people were called to the office by the head teacher.

One was a male classmate who was frightened and trembling by the news of Meng Tingting jumping off the building during the day, and the other Ke Chenlin hadn't paid much attention to it, most likely it was the so-called friend who spread the news about Meng Tingting.

"What do you mean by asking just now?" The high school student took advantage of the opportunity to come to Ke Chenlin after class, "Are you suspicious..."

"Not necessarily." Ke Chenlin interrupted him, "I can't tell, maybe it's a coincidence."

"Where's Ye Wei?" The red-haired woman raised her voice, "Has anyone seen Ye Wei?"

"He, he was taken away." The young girl's voice was trembling, "The monster who took Chang Donglai just now came to the back door and beckoned him away. He followed without making a sound."

"Where did he go?" The red-haired woman's heart skipped a beat, suspecting that the punishment had already begun.

"Go to the stairs."

Ke Chenlin ran out of the classroom and looked up, then came back and said: "I should go to the dance studio, the lights are on there, shall we go and have a look?"

The moment he spoke, everyone fell silent.

Damn, who would want to go and have a look at this kind of time, although everyone is very harmonious and friendly, but if one is not careful, people will die here!

"Not going?" Ke Chenlin nodded to show that he understood, "Then let's continue to dig deeper into the problem here."

……

Can't move!Can't move at all!

Ye Wei followed that strange man up the steps step by step, his body was out of his control.

A student with a pale face like a corpse passed him by, but everyone seemed to be going down, only him and the person who brought him up.

Ye Wei couldn't see the man's face clearly, maybe the lights in the school corridor were broken, or maybe the sensor lights?If it's an induction light, why didn't it turn on for a long time.

All he can do is count the steps under his feet, each floor has 21 steps, no change.

"Is it just that something was left in the dance room?" The "person" said, "There was an accident in the dance room not long ago, don't touch things after entering."

Who wants to touch things!If he can, he doesn't want to go in at all, okay?

"Oh, by the way, if you don't wear dancing shoes on your feet, you can't dance with someone." The man's voice became hoarse, "You know this, right?"

Ye Wei couldn't answer because he couldn't speak at all, but the creepy feeling had already crawled up his exposed wrist.

"Come out quickly after taking the things, don't look down." The man said.

And Ye Wei's previous warning from Baiwen suddenly appeared in Ye Wei's mind: "Don't look in the mirror, don't listen to the voice, don't dance, look at the tip of your toes, don't raise your head...wait for dawn."

"By the way, remember to check whether it is yourself in the mirror, so as not to be pulled in." While speaking, the man and Ye Wei stood at the door of the dance studio, and the man took out the key in his pocket and went to unlock it .

Something is wrong!Ye Wei felt his heart beating fast.

Not just because of what the man said, but because of the 22 steps.

The regular floors should be the same except for the first floor, which are all 21 steps. Why is there an extra step for no reason!

Before Ye Wei could make a sound, the door opened with a creak, and Ye Wei was pushed in.

"Find it quickly!" the man finally said.

What are you looking for? !Who should he trust?In the end is not to bow or not to look up?Wait until dawn or hurry out?

click.

It seems that another door has been opened. There is a small room for props in the dance studio. This is a dance studio dedicated to the sophomore year. There are things that everyone uses for performances, and their dance shoes are locked.

Ye Wei didn't know where to put his eyes, whether to look at his toes or look up.

He heard something scraping against the wooden floor, and someone, no, something behind him.

"Did you find it?" The "person" outside shouted, "Hurry up, it's almost evening self-study."

What do you mean it's almost time for evening self-study?Isn't this the end of the first evening self-study get out of class?

"I'm going to lock the door." The voice of the "person" became irritable in vain, the door was hammered vigorously, and the guy seemed crazy: "Get out! Get out!"

Ye Wei froze, he was purely frightened.

When the sound of slamming the door stopped, Ye Wei's tears were about to fall, and his legs were trembling uncontrollably.

There is something wrong with that "person"!There is definitely something wrong with that "person".

Can't go out, can't...

"What are you doing standing here?"

That voice sounded right next to Ye Wei's ear, and a cold breath crossed the back of Ye Wei's ear, "I just asked you, did you find something?"

Ye Wei was startled and fell backwards. He didn't touch anything. Instead, he sat down on the ground. At the same time, his eyes were fixed on the entire wall.

Those are all mirrors.

Sure enough, there was no one behind him, ha, that person was trapped outside the door.

The voice was fake, and there was only a pair of red dancing shoes walking towards him behind him.

……

Ke Chenlin and the others didn't wait for Ye Wei to come until the evening self-study was over, and combined with Bai Wen's "until dawn" guess that Ye Wei would not come out at this time, so they simply returned to the dormitory. After all, it was time to turn off the lights and rest. This is a hard and fast rule.

But before the lights were turned off, Ye Wei ran back, one of them lost his footing and fell down: "Fuck! I was scared to death, that Bai Wen almost killed me!"

No one answered his words in the dormitory, Ye Wei rubbed his forehead and stood up: "What kind of expressions are you guys making?"

"If it's time to turn off the lights, I'll go to bed first." Ke Chenlin said to the high school student, "I can fall asleep, but if I can't, you can knock yourself unconscious with a pillar."

"Hey, please pay attention to me!" Ye Wei said angrily.

"I'll try my best." The high school student turned his eyes away.

Ye Wei looked fine at first glance, but he was wearing a pair of red dancing shoes, and the red dancing shoes on top of the black sports socks were nondescript.

And Ye Wei's fall just now was not tripped, but more like hitting an invisible wall, and he couldn't get in.

But if someone responded, it might not be so, or after the lights were turned off, he would be able to come in, and he might be able to take one away at random.

At the same time, Ke Chenlin was even more sure that the carefree Brother Qian had noticed Ye Wei's problem and reacted very quickly.

The author has something to say:
