femme fatale [unlimited]

Lin Cen pointed to the words "accident" on the display board on the wall, and continued to explain: "After the accident, the school sealed off the restricted area. But the subsequent impact of this incident did not stop, and instead created a An evil force. And this force is eroding the goddess statue day by day, and it has been increasing as the students die one after another."

Ning Mianmian said: "That is to say, it's not the original goddess statue, but that evil force that tricked the students into making wishes?"

Lin Cen said: "That's right, if it is not contained, I think it will completely replace it soon. But thinking about it this way, Jin Xiao was able to come out of the restricted area intact, perhaps because of the help of the original goddess."

"After all, compared with students, players have spiritual power. Students can't perceive the power of the goddess statue, but players can."

Ning Mianmian felt that Lin Cen's analysis was very reasonable. Last night, the poisonous corpse could attract students through the volatilization of its venom, but only through skin contact could it attract players into the restricted area. It can be seen that players still have a great advantage.

Lin Cen looked around again, and started to walk out, "Go to the archives, there is nothing worth collecting here."

At this time, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and Ning Mianmian and the others found the archives according to the location marked on the map.As soon as he walked to the door, the door opened and closed, and a slim figure walked out.

Love stood at the door with a smile on her face, "Hello, everyone."

She looked radiant and tired.

Lin Cen glanced at her and said calmly, "Are you awake?"

"Wake up." Love narrowed her eyes contentedly, the sun fell on her hair, showing a soft color.She smiled and said, "I'm here to work."

Love beckoned and motioned for a few people to sit down on a bench by the side of the road, "No need to go in, I've already checked everything, let's exchange clues."

Rong Rong was still very active, and volunteered to tell what he had seen and heard in the school history museum just now, including Lin Cen's guess.

Love looked at her in amazement, "The reasoning is very complete."

Rongrong was very frank, pointing at Lin Cen, "I just repeated it, hehe."

The clues collected by Love are also very valuable. She said that there is a special place in the archives for the files of dead students, and there have been only a dozen of them since the school was founded.One of them, a student named Zou Lingling, died on July 7, five years ago, which coincided with the closing date of the restricted area.

In other words, the accident recorded in the school history museum was the death of Zou Lingling.

Ning Mianmian thought of something, and was a little worried, "Is the file complete? Will someone go first and take away other beneficial information?"

When they entered the school history museum, Ginkgo was also there, but the display cabinets and display panels in the school history museum were solid and heavy, and they didn't look like they could be easily destroyed.

"Don't worry, the files cannot be taken away or destroyed." Love said, "Many copies of this type of puzzle solving will have restrictions, and the key clues are fixed, and players will not be unable to get them because of the first-come, first-served problem."

This design is similar to many online games, the quest items are constantly refreshed, anyone who comes can do the quest.Ning Mianmian felt relieved and continued to listen to Love.

"Zou Lingling is an ordinary girl with an introverted personality. Her appearance and grades are not outstanding. Regarding her death, there is a statement in the file, but it is not particularly detailed. It is only said that she has a serious mental illness, and she can't think about it for a while. , ran to the restricted area to commit suicide."

"She cut herself with a knife. The cause of death was excessive blood loss. It is said that she ran to the restricted area in the middle of the night and moved her hand in front of the goddess statue. The blood flowed all over the ground, scaring the students who came to make a wish the next day. broken."

Ning Mianmian thought, "Why did you commit suicide in front of the goddess statue?"

Love said: "My guess is that the goddess statue didn't fulfill her wish after she made a wish. I can't think about it for a while. As for whether she made a wish and what kind of wish she made, this needs to be followed up."

She thought of something, and added, "By the way, there is one more thing. The hexagram you mentioned just now, Zou Lingling actually got a tattoo on her face."

Ning Mianmian opened her eyes in surprise, "On the face?"

How can ordinary people have tattoos on their faces? Zou Lingling probably believes in some crooked ways.

Lovedao tapped the left side of his face with his fingertips, "That's right, it's right here, almost covering half of his face."

Lin Cen asked, "When was this photo of her?"

Love said, "It's the photo on the freshman registration form when I entered school, and there is only such a photo in the file."

Lin Cen pondered, "After Zou Lingling's death, the goddess statue had the same six-pointed star symbol tattooed on Zou Lingling's face. I'm afraid she turned into an evil spirit and polluted the goddess statue. It is basically certain that she is the dungeon boss."

Rong Rong said, "Is it certain that the ghost is a woman?"

Love said: "It can't be said that. For some evil spirits, gender will become a vague concept. They can have male and female ones at the same time. Moreover, Zou Lingling's appearance is similar to that of any other people present. Everyone is different, and she should be able to change her appearance to some degree."

Ning Mianmian was amazed: "Did anything special happen to Zou Lingling? How could there be such a big resentment?"

She has also heard some rumors that only people with deep grievances will turn into evil spirits after death, and they will not enter reincarnation and cannot be freed.

Love said: "No, at least nothing can be seen from her school file. She looks mediocre, her grades are mediocre, her parents are salarymen, her income is fair, and there is no external pressure. For her mental illness I also feel a little strange about the disease, and I don't know what the cause is."

Ning Mianmian thought for a while, "Could it be that the interpersonal relationship is not harmonious? There are still many cases of campus bullying."

Lin Cen said: "It's possible. After all, she has had tattoos on her face since she entered school. Although the school didn't ask her to wash it off, it might make other students feel uncomfortable."

A few people just leaned on the bench like this, and you talked about it for a while, and the time passed five o'clock in the afternoon, and tonight's vigil was about to start again.

Before setting off, Love told everyone: "Use the perfume first."

During the day, in order to thank them for sending me back to the dormitory, the students put the perfume in their backpacks all the time.And after putting it into the backpack, a line of small characters will be displayed on the game board: heat-clearing and detoxifying, but it is only effective if you use a whole bottle at a time, and the effect lasts for 48 hours.

Ning Mianmian was quite speechless, how could she use perfume like that.But for safety, she still opened the small bottle and sprinkled the whole bottle of perfume evenly on the clothes.

Fortunately, the fragrance of the perfume is very light. Even so, there is no pungent smell. Instead, it has a refreshing fragrance, which is very comfortable.

And the dungeon time is less than 40 hours until six o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow.The duration of the perfume is so long, enough for them to last until the end of the copy.

Although they were not affected by the venom last night, it would be nice to have an extra layer of protection.

It was almost six o'clock when the four arrived in the restricted area, and most of the players had already arrived.Ning Mianmian looked around and found that the three players who entered the restricted area after Jin Xiao did not show up.She felt a slight "thump" in her heart, knowing that there was a high probability that these three people would not be able to get out.

The setting sun sank down the hills, and the last ray of sky light disappeared with it.The heavy black door of the restricted area was closed tightly, bringing a silent sense of oppression.Under the darkness of night, the icy evening wind blows off a few withered and yellow leaves.

After losing three companions, the atmosphere was much heavier than yesterday, and the air was very quiet.Everyone just stood silently at the entrance of the restricted area, leaning or standing, and few people talked.

Except for Ning Mianmian and the other four, there were still eight players present.Zhao Ya and Xinyi stood under a big thick tree, with their backs leaning against the tree trunk, their expressions still grim.Especially Zhao Ya, she did not know where to get a pair of crutches, but she is not very skilled in using it, and she has a sense of déjà vu that is crumbling.

Shang Han, Jin Xiao, and Yin Xing all stood alone in the corner, without getting together with others.The three remaining men seemed to form a temporary alliance and stick together.

When Gingko saw Ning Mianmian, her eyes moved slightly, but then she looked away as if recalling some unpleasant past.

Rongrong: "Tsk tsk, she knows that Mianmian has a wife, so she quits."

Love almost dropped her jaw when she heard that, "Mianmian has a wife? Who is it?"

Rongrong was also surprised, pointing at Lin Cen and asking, "You didn't know they were married?"

Love: "...Hiss, I don't know."

She turned to look at Lin Cen, "What's the situation, are you playing a hidden marriage?"

The corner of Lin Cen's mouth twitched lightly, but he didn't explain it. I don't know if he thought it was troublesome.

Ning Mianmian felt that things were starting to develop in a strange direction again, she was hesitating whether to explain to Love, when footsteps were heard not far away.

At six o'clock, Zhou Li appeared in front of everyone on time.

"Unfortunately, we lost three companions." She glanced across the crowd indifferently, her tone was dry, but she could not hear any regrets at all, "But fortunately, no students entered the restricted area last night. Their The sacrifice was worth it."

Next, Zhou Li gave a high-sounding speech, the main purpose of which was to let the players learn to give without fear of difficulties. Ning Mianmian felt drowsy after hearing it, and the other party finally stopped.

"...Let us work together for the peace of the academy today! But there is one more thing to note. I can feel an evil force growing day by day. Everyone needs to be more vigilant than yesterday."

Zhou Li left after finishing her lines. As her figure gradually disappeared, the gate of the restricted area opened again silently, like a black monster opening its huge mouth in the abyss.

Everyone picked up their weapons one after another and put on a posture of guard.Now that Zhou Li can emphasize that the "evil power" is growing day by day, then tonight's poisonous corpse may be more difficult than yesterday, and the enemy should not be underestimated.

Ning Mianmian still gave Lin Cen the protective cover, but the other party hesitated for a while, but did not refuse her.

However, the players waited and waited, but there was still no movement in front of them.Through the open gate of the restricted area, one can see a corner of the square, except for the messy withered yellow grass leaves swaying in the wind, there is nothing else.

Ning Mianmian stared at the gate, but suddenly smelled a faint fishy and sweet smell on the tip of her nose.Before she could understand what was going on, she saw the figures of the three men beside her pause slightly, and then their eyes were stained with blood at the same time.

Soon others also noticed their anomalies, Zhao Ya pointed in the direction of the three and screamed loudly, "Mutated! They've mutated!"

She seemed to be in a very poor state, she couldn't stand at all, her body slid down softly, and she sat down against the tree trunk.

And Xinyi beside her was not much better, as if she didn't hear Zhao Ya's voice, she stared blankly ahead with two empty eyes.

Shang Han immediately made a move, shooting a rope from his sleeve, but the effect was the same as last night, it couldn't stop the three alienated men at all.

"It's a waste of effort." There was a trace of pity in Love's tone, "The toxicity has increased, and now you can smell it too."

"I smell it, I smell it." Rongrong was puzzled, "But there is no poisonous corpse."

Lin Cen said lightly: "You can regard the current restricted area as a large poisonous corpse."

Fluffy let out a "Hey", as if frightened by Lin Cen's words, she stroked the bristling hair on her arm, took small steps and ran a little farther, and hid in a corner behind a tree.

Ning Mianmian looked at the three men who were precariously walking towards the restricted area, and suddenly realized something, and said in a low voice, "Perfume can detoxify? They didn't rescue the students yesterday, so they didn't get the perfume?"

She looked around and found that she didn't attract any students this time.However, she didn't think that the restricted area suddenly became kind. Instead, she thought it was because the restricted area devoured several players yesterday, and found that the death of the players would enhance their strength, so they changed to focus on players.

"That's right." Love shrugged, "Many people think that only by abandoning the goodness in human nature can they survive in the dungeon, but they are mistaken for their cleverness. But this time it's not bad..."

"Ah!!! She is a monster! Look!!"

A shrill scream sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

Ning Mianmian looked in the direction of the sound source, and saw Zhao Ya sitting on the ground, pointing a trembling finger in the direction of Fluffy, "She, she's eating bugs again! Look at her!"

Fluffy stood under a nearby tree, facing Zhao Ya sideways, with his back facing the others.

She turned around abruptly when she heard the words, and walked straight in Zhao Ya's direction.

Zhao Ya shivered in fright, but she was missing a leg, so there was no way she could avoid it.

Rong Rong quickly walked up to Zhao Ya and squatted down.

Zhao Ya stuck tightly to the tree trunk, stammering, "You, what are you going to do, everyone is watching."

Seeing this, Ning Mianmian felt a headache, and ran over quickly, holding Fluffy's arm to prevent her from coming forward.

The situation is still unclear now, and it would not be wise to start a fight.

Lin Cen was about to follow, but seeing that Rongrong didn't seem to want to make a move, he stopped in his tracks.

She caressed the hilt of [Chasing Soul] with one hand, her gaze fell on Ning Mianmian's back.

"Don't be in a daze." Love's voice sounded from the side, with a touch of teasing, "If you are worried, just go and have a look."

She put Lin Cen on the shoulder, with a narrow smile in her eyes, "Hey, the person who didn't admit that he cared before got married today?

"I didn't think about it before." Lin Cen's expression paused slightly, and a fleeting soft emotion flashed in his eyes, "I just realized it not long ago. You know, I don't understand human feelings very well."

Love suddenly felt something was wrong, "Are you aware of what?"

Of course she knew that Lin Cen was not good at these things, otherwise she would not have dedicated herself to being an actor, trying to imitate human beings' every word and deed by trying to figure out the psychology of different characters and learning the logic of their behavior.Although the imitation is not very similar in many places, so she can only act in her true colors, taking on the roles of big villains without emotional scenes.

Lin Cen didn't answer her question, but remained silent, with a rare serious tone, "By the way, there is something I still want to confirm with you."

Seeing that she was speaking seriously, Love became serious, "Say it."

Lin Cen said: "If a human adult woman with a normal mind always pulls me to fire CP, and later says that she can fall in love with me as long as she takes her to a dungeon. Occasionally hinting that I will marry her, and many times. People say she's my wife, and she looks really cute when she does a lot of things, but we're not officially married yet, so..."

Love pinched herself hard and suppressed the smile on her face.

"The marriage procedure is just a formality, so you don't have to stick to it." She interrupted Lin Cen, and said firmly, "Since it's all here, then she is your wife, trust me."

Lin Cen nodded thoughtfully, "I think so too."
