Paranoid Beauty reigns supreme at Infinite Game

Wait until the cycle starts again.

Ji Yunhu's eyes were shrouded in a hazy layer of mist, blurring his vision.

There are faint human voices in my ears, but I can't hear them clearly, as if separated by a layer of frosted glass.

He didn't know where he was going, his mind went blank, he just mechanically raised his legs and lowered them in a cycle.

Until, as planned, the footsteps suddenly stopped.

Ji Yunhu stretched out his hand and touched the hard concrete wall, but it was not high, just a little below his chest, and then he climbed to the top of the low wall with his strength.

The top of the wall was not very wide, and part of his toes hung outside.

Ji Yunhu, who was in a daze, felt a little fear for no reason, but his feet were out of his control, as if they were nailed to the top of the wall, and he couldn't help him back.

A cool wind blows head-on, mixed with a strange burnt smell.

"Ji Yunhu, Lin Man, come down quickly!"

Lu Bai stood in the corridor, not daring to rush forward to do bad things with good intentions, so he shouted their names loudly.

But the two of them didn't react at all, and even their bodies began to fall forward.

"Lin Man!"

Rong Ziqiu's voice came from the stairs at the end of the corridor. He ran towards this side with red eyes and shouted hoarsely to the students who hadn't left in the corridor:

"Stop him quickly! Stop him!"

But no matter what Rong Ziqiu yelled, the students passing by turned a deaf ear and passed by without stopping.

"Zong Xiao."

Zong Xiao nodded to Zhu Changan, and walked forward with Jin, intending to save the two of them.

But the timing was just right, when Zong Xiao and Jin's hands were almost able to grab Ji Yunhu and Lin Man's ankles, the two jumped and jumped off the railing of the corridor.

"don't want--"

Rong Ziqiu's pupils constricted, and he slumped on the ground half a meter away from Lin Man's position, weeping in pain.

Two silver threads flew down quickly, one caught up with the falling Ji Yunhu, wrapped around his ankles, suspended him in mid-air and slowly pulled him upwards.

Jin stepped on the railing and jumped, and his black clothes hung in the air like bat wings. He reached out to save Lin Man.

But Ji Yunhu and Lin Man jumped off at the same time, no matter how Zong Xiao pushed, the other silver thread could never catch up with Lin Man, and even Jindu, who was only less than ten centimeters away from Lin Man, would always be within that distance. .

In the end, they could only look helplessly at Lin Man's falling body at an accelerated rate, disturbed by the sound of the impact.

The golden body turned into mist and disappeared in the air.

The three stood in the corridor, facing the sun but could not feel the temperature.

"Forehead……"

Ji Yunhu, who woke up from the chaotic state, squatted by the wall with his head covered, vague memories flooded in like a tide, his face turned pale from the fright of the moment of life and death just now, and he propped himself against the wall to retch.

"We can obviously save him."

Lu Bai frowned tightly, and punched the wall with his fist, venting his indignation.

He knows that eight out of ten//nine times out of ten are plot kills, which cannot be changed, but it is a pity that the system just wants to set this kind of plot kill to be only a little bit short of turning the situation around.

He couldn't think of a more appropriate word to describe his mood at the moment other than nausea.

"Lin Man! Lin Man..."

Rong Ziqiu stumbled obsessively thinking of Lin Man's name and ran downstairs, looking embarrassed.

Zhu Chang'an took a look downstairs. A teacher had already discovered Lin Man's body and was ordering someone to dispose of it.

When they came downstairs, they found that the students who came to carry the corpse turned out to be students.

The two students who were carrying Lin Man's body were numb. Even though their hands were stained with the blood of their classmates, they didn't react at all.

Rong Ziqiu was pushed to the ground by several other students, struggling and cursing madly, like a cornered beast.

"You are the ones who killed Lin Man!! You are all murderers!!"

"I won't let you go!!"

His tears were sucked dry by anger and hatred, he kept roaring, and finally he was gagged by the teacher's order and dragged away forcibly.

Without Rong Ziqiu's roar, the campus returned to tranquility, while the voice of the dean became more prominent.

"Is Lin Man's parent? I'm the teaching director of Nanchi High School. Your child committed suicide by jumping off a building. Come to the school and bring the body back."

"Who made him fail the exam? He couldn't get good grades in a weekly exam. How could he get a title in the gold list in the college entrance examination?"

As the dean walked farther and farther away, his voice gradually faded away, but the vicious words sounded like a drum.

For a moment, Lu Bai and Ji Yunhu actually felt that although a hundred ghosts walk around at night, which is a constant cycle of life and death, it is better than the indifference and disdain for treating human life as worthless.

"What happened to you in the classroom today, why did you jump off the building with Lin Man?"

A few people avoided the patrolling teacher and walked around to a remote corner of the woods. Zhu Chang'an asked about the details of Ji Yunhu's incident.

"In the morning, a teacher came to announce the results, saying that Lin Man was at the bottom of the weekly exam this time, and then scolded him very badly. Qiu didn't want to go, the teacher said that if he didn't go, Lin Man would be punished together, so Rong Ziqiu had no choice but to leave."

Ji Yunhu lowered his head and recalled, "After Rong Ziqiu left, Lin Man's condition became extremely bad. I wanted to comfort him, but as soon as I turned my eyes, I felt dark in front of my eyes. I don’t know, the only thing I remember is to follow Lin Man’s movements.”

He let out a long sigh, and then bowed solemnly to the three of them, "Thank you just now, otherwise I'm afraid I'm going to die here."

Lu Bai patted him on the shoulder, then looked at Zhu Changan, "What shall we do next?"

He is not a person who advocates violence, not to mention that he is a doctor, and he should save lives and heal the wounded, but since he entered the game, he has rarely had the opportunity to do so.

Either there are faster healing items, or it's just like now, you can only watch a life die, but you can't do anything.

At this time, Lu Bai could not vent his breath.

"Wait. Wait until reincarnation starts again."

If Lin Man's death represents the end of a cycle, then there must be a beginning.

-

When the first ray of sunlight hit the earth in the morning, Zhu Chang'an and the others woke up from the trance.

"Go to the classroom and check the time on the punch card machine."

Lu Bai originally wanted to check the time on his phone, but he didn't expect that the time on it was fixed at 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds on the night of Rong Ziqiu's arson.

"We are now students of Nanchi High School, which means we are already a part of reincarnation, but the mobile phone is a dead thing we brought from outside the school, and it does not belong to Nanchi High School, so it has not changed."

Zhu Changan pushed open the door of the classroom and found a punch card machine nearby.

"Today is March 3th, and we're back to the day before the weekly exam when Lin Man's ranking dropped for the first time. It seems that this day is the beginning of reincarnation."

As soon as the words fell, the long-lost system voice came from everyone's ears.

[The player triggers the main task - breaking the reincarnation of Nanchi High School. 】

"It's easy to say, how do we crack it?"

Zhu Chang'an lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then remembered Lin Man's letter.

"Lin Man failed in tomorrow's exam, and he got the warning letter after he ranked last. One failure caused him huge psychological pressure, and he even failed the second exam."

"He is different from Rong Ziqiu. He abides by the rules of the school. In other words, even though Lin Man is friends with the rebellious Rong Ziqiu, deep in his heart he accepts the teaching of "If you fail the exam, you will die." purpose. "

Zhu Changan tapped the table with his fingers, "So if you want to break the cycle, you must make Lin Man not rank last in this weekly exam."

Lu Bai nodded in approval, and immediately thought of a solution, "We already knew where the test papers were placed in the last weekly test, so we can sneak in directly, find Lin Man's test papers, and then modify the scores."

"Good idea."

Zong Xiao pouted.

He also thought of it, but Lu Baizui said it first.

The two-day exam ended in a blink of an eye.

After the last exam and dinner, all the students returned to the classroom for evening self-study.

There was no teacher supervision for the evening self-study on the day of the test, but this did not prevent the students from going to the self-study in silence as always.

Zhu Changan gave Lu Bai and Ji Yunhu a startling look, then slipped out of the classroom through the back door, putting on the solid-color masks and black hooded cloaks provided by Zong Xiao.

Lu Bai's heart skipped a beat when he first saw this mask before, thinking that this guy doesn't even need a vest?

Later, seeing Zhu Chang'an's indifferent expression, he remembered that Zhu Chang'an was a new player and didn't know Zong Xiao's iconic red mask at all.

The figures of the four ran swiftly in the corridor, and no one turned their heads to look at the windows of other classrooms as they passed by.

They came to the corridor outside the teacher's office unimpeded all the way, and squatted against the wall with their waists bent.

Because Zhu Changan had heard the conversation between Lin Man and Rong Ziqiu, he knew that the difference between Lin Man and the top students was very small.

So it saves a lot of trouble, and there is no need to revise the test papers of each subject.

Zhu Changan made a gesture to Ji Yunhu, who nodded, took out a stone-shaped object from the props rack, raised his hand and threw it into the office through the gap of the half-open window.

After a light nibble, white smoke filled the entire office in an instant.

Three seconds later, Ji Yunhu nodded, and the four of them pushed open the window and went in without breaking the door.

All the teachers were lying on the table with their heads tilted, pillows on the test papers they were correcting.

They dispersed, looking for the test papers that belonged to Lin Man.

"The time limit for the props is only half an hour, and I still have two stocks, and the total time is only one and a half hours, so we have to fix it during this time, otherwise we have to go through another cycle."

Ji Yunhu didn't want to experience the feeling of jumping off a building again.

Several people moved quickly, but there were too many test papers, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the teacher showed signs of waking up, Ji Yunhu added a coma prop.

"I found it."

Zong Xiao took out a test paper from a stack of test papers, and ran to Zhu Chang'an as if asking for credit.

"It's an English paper, so it's much easier to change, just modify a few answers of Tuka."

Lu Bai took the answer sheet of the puzzle question from the English teacher's hand and stuck it on Lin Man's test paper.

Ji Yunhu excitedly found a pencil and eraser and handed them to him.

"Great, we'll be done in less than an hour..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the office.

That voice was very familiar.

Zhu Chang'an and the others who had fought with each other immediately recognized the sound of footsteps as the two security guards outside the punishment room.

Footsteps were getting closer and closer to the office.
