It's time, it's time to switch to the cranial doctor

Theoretically speaking, it is very difficult to produce such a level of precision in game production, so it is conceivable that Countercurrent Technology must have used some means to move the scenes of the real world into the game.

Not long after they walked, they saw the first "person" here in the hall. It was an aunt holding a mop, with a dull expression, completely oblivious to the five people who came from outside, and only cared about her work.

Zhou Zhuo went to the side and called her a few times, but there was no response, so he turned his head to look at Yan Xuan, but the latter also spread his hands and made a helpless look, expressing that he was completely ignorant.

The atmosphere became weird at this time, the huge borrowing room was quiet, except for the five people with different expressions, only the lady sweeping the floor was doing mechanical work. loneliness.

The lights turned on in advance did not dilute this sense of loneliness, but instead formed a contrast with the shadows of a large number of folded bookshelves, bringing out the heavy and gloomy feeling even more.

In a daze, Zhou Zhuo pulled out a book casually, and was startled when he saw a pale face behind the gap.

"My grass!"

"what happened?"

Lin, who was wandering outside, slowly rushed over at a brisk pace, and Xiao Jiu was also a little confused, so she didn't feel any irresistible horror.

"I seem to see a human face, it's not like an illusion." Zhou Zhuo pulled out all the books next to that position, and tried to reach out, "But there should be no one there... !"

In just a few seconds, two consecutive swear words burst out, not simply because of Zhou Zhuo's lack of quality, but more because the hand that passed through the bookshelf was unexpectedly caught.

A hand clasped his wrist tightly, the sharp nails pierced into the muscles, and the icy cold feeling made his sanity drop crazily.

"there!"

Zhou Zhuo yelled slowly at Lin, who understood Zhou Zhuo's meaning in an instant, and ran away from between the two rows of bookshelves, and went to the opposite side, and then Zhou Zhuo felt the stretched out hand loosen, and all the imprisoned The power is gone.

"No."

Confused, Lin slowly came back from the bookshelf opposite, and was taken aback when he saw Zhou Zhuo's miserable state: "Are you okay?"

"It's unrealistic to say it's all right..." Zhou Zhuo smiled wryly, "I can't use my right hand a little bit, so I have to be careful next time."

There were a lot of bloodstains on the hand that the criminal stretched out just now, and the blue-purple woman's handprint was left on it, reminding him that this is not an ordinary copy that can be messed around.

Before the two could discuss how to find the "friend" Liu Qianqian who was hiding and didn't want to see each other, Xiao Jiu, who was standing in the hall staring at the two aboriginal students, screamed and ran to Zhou Zhuo's side , put his arms around him.

"Over there, there are people over there!"

However, Yanxuan who stood there shrugged his shoulders with an innocent face, saying that he didn't see anyone else.

"You are also a ghost, the other party should be afraid of you..."

Zhou Zhuo couldn't help but smile bitterly, seeing that Xiao Jiu was really scared, so he had to hold her hand and go to that place together to have a look.

Chapter 196: Hide and Seek

Zhou Zhuo took Xiao Jiu out of the scope of the bookshelf and entered the aisle. The lights above his head were still very bright, but everyone's mentality quietly changed.

He was clearly wearing armor just now, and the blood on the bloody clothes was not wasted, but the damage he suffered was real. This means that the next crisis they will encounter is likely to be a conceptual attack, and as long as the judgment is established, it will cause damage , unstoppable.

"Where is the figure you saw?" Zhou Zhuo lowered his head and asked.

"Over there." Xiao Jiu pointed to the last row of bookshelves, with a pitiful tone that made people feel pity, "I saw half a face over there, as if looking at me."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Jiu hid behind Zhou Zhuo, and slowly made a grimace at Lin. It seemed that he was not really scared at first glance, and he was very angry with Lin Slowly, but there was nothing he could do about her. A child like this The privilege of time can hardly find any flaws.

The auntie with the mop still kept her head down, doing her own thing silently, completely ignoring the few people wandering back and forth in the borrowing room, but she would carefully wipe off the dripping blood on Zhou Zhuo's body. There is a sense of weirdness in it.

"I'll go over and have a look. You stand still and don't move around. There is a problem between the bookshelves." Zhou Zhuo reminded casually.

"I know."

Yan Xuan stood there and waited, taking care of Lin Yi beside him.

Zhou Zhuo came to the last row of bookshelves, it looked the same as other places, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Of course he would not suspect that Xiao Jiu was lying, she could tell the priority, she would never talk nonsense about such important things.

Zhou Zhuo began to take out the empiricism of scientific investigation and began to observe the surrounding area. There were no footprints on the ground, and there were no traces of human activities on the bookshelves. It was very clean.

However, the order of the books on the side is a bit confusing, and one book is obviously upside down.

This book is Osamu Dazai's Disqualification in the World. Zhou Zhuo took the book out from the shelf and found that the end of the book did not have the mark of the library, that is to say, it did not belong to the borrowing room, but was placed in it by an outsider. .

"It should be this book."

Zhou Zhuo opened the book and saw the signature "Liu Qianqian" in beautiful handwriting on the title page, making sure that they did not go to the wrong place.

"Why did you leave your book here?"

With curiosity, Zhou Zhuo continued to turn down a few pages, and found that Liu Qianqian liked to make notes when reading, and the blank areas on both sides of the pages were densely filled with a lot of reading experience, compared to her who was rigid but at least alive in her diary.

She is extremely pessimistic and desperate in this disqualification in the world. She knows everything but can't do anything. She is clearly incompatible with other people, but she always tries her best to please others.

Liu Qianqian was extremely angry at her cowardly and incompetent self, but even this anger at herself couldn't be resolved, because she didn't even have the courage to commit suicide.

There were bloodstains on some of the pages of the book, probably because she tried to cut her wrist with a utility knife or something, but she stopped because of the pain after a little blood came out. This kind of attempt has been done many times.

Zhou Zhuo turned to the end and found that there was actually a paragraph left on the blank decorative page.

[Stranger, thank you for being able to see this, I think you already know a part of me, next I want to invite you to play a game with me, hide and seek...]

For some reason, writing here, the message is completely over.

Immediately afterwards, the light above Zhou Zhuo's head began to flicker, and the night outside the window suddenly became thicker. He found that there was a follow-up to the content of the message that ended abruptly. It was a line of distorted blood characters, which formed a sharp contrast with the beautiful font in front.

【… Every 5 seconds, one of the lights in the borrowing room will go out. If you find me before all the lights go out, I will become your friend. If you can’t find me, then it’s my turn to come to you. 】

Although there are not many additions, it makes the game complete.

The clock hanging on the wall started to move, and the sound was very clear in the quiet reading.

"Games start."

An ethereal female voice sounded from behind everyone at the same time, Zhou Zhuo turned his head suddenly, but didn't find anything behind him, and the others had the same reaction as him.

Tick, tick, tick...

In the first five seconds, Zhou Zhuo did not search in a hurry, but told everyone about the hide-and-seek and exchanged opinions from Yan Xuan.

"Where do you think Liu Qianqian is hiding?"

"How do I know, I'm just a tour guide, okay?"

Yan Xuan is not afraid, it seems that he has not fully recovered the emotion of fear, or he does not think that a girl with whom he has no relationship with will harm him.

"How about you two?"

Lin Yi couldn't count on it. Before reaching the right scene, this guy would most likely only become a pendant, so Zhou Zhuo had no choice but to turn around and ask Xiao Jiu and Lin Slowly.

At this time, five seconds had passed. I don't know if it was a warning from the other party, but it happened to be the light above their heads that went out.

pat-

The slight electric sound passed through everyone's eardrums, and Zhou Zhuo, who had already adapted to the gentle light, instinctively didn't want to enter the dark area, so he took the initiative to pull Yanxuan and let him stand in the dark area. under the lights.

"Me? There is no special place for hiding in this place, or... on the bookshelf?"

Xiao Jiu put forward a conjecture suitable for his own reminder. Indeed, if the body is as petite as hers, it can be hidden above the bookshelf. It is difficult for normal people to find such an obvious place close at hand.

Zhou Zhuo immediately stepped on the bookshelves on both sides and climbed up. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected harvest. There were traces of climbing above the bookshelf where the book Disqualification in the World was taken out.

In other words, this Liu Qianqian didn't seem to intend to cheat, she existed physically, at least during this period of time, and she really hid herself in some way.

"There are traces, but they have disappeared. She is still in the borrowing room. Everyone looks for it separately. There are only dozens of lights that can be turned on in the entire borrowing room. We don't have much time."

Hearing Zhou Zhuo's mobilization, Yan Xuan couldn't help turning into a bitter face: "Am I going to look for it too?"

"Of course you don't have to look for it."

Before Yan Xuan could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the next sentence.

"I'll start playing hide-and-seek later. I'll tie you to the bookshelf to see what happens if you're found. If you don't care, you can try."

"You fucking... OK, then listen to you."

Yan Xuan hesitated to speak, reason helped him to choose the former between being found and killed by Liu Qianqian's ghost or being directly blown out of the head by the skull crushing doctor.

Under Zhou Zhuo's arrangement, the five people began to look for the friend who was hiding. As the game started, the second light went out, and Zhou Zhuo noticed some changes in the environment.

This brand-new borrowing room is undergoing changes. There are a lot of footprints on the ground without light, as if countless people have walked here. The neatly visited books on the bookshelves are covered with dust, and the paper is also yellow. vulnerable state.

It is not difficult to come up with a conjecture that when all the lights disappear, the building will show what it really should be.

Zhou Zhuo speeded up and ran wildly in the borrowing room. The increase in physical strength brought about by killing Huang Mingsong made him look like a wild beast. When he ran, there would be a gust of wind, passing by the sweeping aunt from time to time.

Of course he did it on purpose, the one who would be left in this building must be a rather special existence, but Yanxuan, who never came to the library, could not recognize him at all, so he could only use some specific methods to test.

After searching for a while, under Zhou Zhuo's call, the five people reunited in the aisle of the borrowing room. There was no communication, and everyone just shook their heads, expressing that they found nothing.

As expected, although Liu Qianqian showed her real body, as the lights gradually disappeared, many traces of human actions were completely covered, making it difficult to find. Five people turned around the borrowing room but couldn't find it. .

"A high school girl who is about 1.6 meters tall, where can she hide?" Zhou Zhuo couldn't help but talk nonsense, "Can't be dismembered and hidden in a drawer?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone except Lin Yi looked at him. Yan Xuan didn't understand, Lin Slowly was surprised at his genius idea, and Xiao Jiu was hungry... Eh, what's going on?

"I want to eat noodles." Xiao Jiu stretched out his hand.

"Now that you're in trouble, you can really tell."

To complain, Zhou Zhuo still took out the cup noodles that he couldn't finish, and made a small box of noodles with a little rationality.

"The possibility of body parts is not ruled out, but it will greatly increase the difficulty of finding them. Do we have to open all the boxes and drawers in the entire borrowing room? This is unrealistic." Lin slowly began to analyze.

Zhou Zhuo accepted her words.

"The scope of hiding is the entire borrowing room, which should also include the ventilation pipe network above the head, and she didn't say the judgment range of finding the target. If it is really a corpse, do I need to find the whole corpse? It will take a short time It is basically impossible to find her within, unless someone has clues to the second stage."

"What's that?" Yan Xuan suddenly yelled strangely.

At this time, fifteen lights in the borrowing room had been turned off, and half of the space was bright and half dark. The fear caused by insufficient light was finally presented to everyone.

What Yan Xuan noticed was a bookshelf in the dark area. The other bookshelves were just a little dusty, but this bookcase was covered with dark red blood. Zhou Zhuo rushed over and found two bookshelves on the third floor. A scarred arm, with a note written in blood next to it.

[The hand that can only hold a pen, even if it is cut off, it doesn't matter, right?Anyway, you have no special skills. 】

The blood on the bookshelf was old, but the two arms looked like they had just been cut off. This reminded Zhou Zhuo instinctively that Liu Qianqian kept dismantling her own body while playing hide-and-seek with them. , placed where it can be found.

"I'm stupid... you really guessed it right." Yan Xuan's eyes straightened, and Lin Yi behind him remained silent.

Zhou Zhuo immediately shouted: "I know how to play hide-and-seek. Let's go to the dark place and look for it again. The target should be very obvious. Don't miss the small gaps where corpses can be hidden. If you feel scared, you can call me." Take it in the past."

With the goal, the game process becomes much simpler, and the area that loses the shelter of lights will show the real situation, and Liu Qianqian, who always likes to stay in the library, does stay in the library forever in this way.

They successively found hands, hair, ears, eyeballs, tongues, and feet among the bookshelves lined up like guards.

[Having such hair does not make you beautiful, it is your burden, just like a chicken with phoenix feathers, it can never change this miserable reality. 】

[Is there any need to keep ears that can only hear abuse and disgust?There is no need to use ears to hear the voices of friends. 】

[Is what the eyes see must be true?In the eyes of others, my parents are the angels who care for my growth, and the teachers are conscientious and model elites. Those boys will always behave well, but what is the truth? 】

[No matter what I say, I will be misunderstood. I don’t know how to communicate with people anymore. Compared with talking with words, I want to talk with my heart. 】

【When you’re in a bad mood, you don’t taste anything. If that’s the case, then why keep the sense of taste as a meaningless accompaniment? 】

[I wanted to measure this land with my feet, but the world is too big, and I am too small. The distance that can be walked alone is so short. I am already tired, so I might as well stop here. 】

There is a corresponding note next to each organ, like Liu Qianqian talking to herself, or introducing herself to a "new friend", obviously, as said in the last page of Disqualification

Finally, with the help of Zhou Zhuo, Lin slowly climbed up the bookshelf, opened a cover above his head, and found Liu Qianqian's head there.

There was no note next to the head, because she was alive, and she was able to open her mouth when Lin slowly took it out, but she lost her tongue and could not make a sound.

"One more thing, you can find me, the time is about to end, do you know where the last me is hidden?"

The inexplicable voice sounded from behind again, Yan Xuan was taken aback, this time even Lin Yi rarely raised his head to take a look.

The child who was too cowardly to speak was not frightened by the bloody scene, and a sad expression appeared on his face repeatedly. After a while, he lowered his head again, as if nothing had happened.

The fundamental problem with this hide-and-seek game is that Liu Qianqian did not say exactly how many "shes" are hidden in the borrowing room, and searching aimlessly is very time-consuming.

But in a way, this is the true meaning of hide and seek, no one knows where the other person will hide, unless you know that person well enough, otherwise it will take a lot of time.

At this time, almost all the lights were extinguished, leaving only three lonely lights in the middle of the aisle. Zhou Zhuo didn't want to spend his last time searching for vent. Areas with lights.

But the attempt failed. The moment he came into contact with the outside light, white smoke rose from his fingers, as if he was about to evaporate out of thin air. Zhou Zhuo reacted quickly enough to stop his hand in time to avoid further damage.

At this time, Yan Xuan's face was pale, and fear could not knock him down, but apart from pure fear, facing death directly would make people feel somewhat at a loss.

Xiao Jiu, who was full after eating and drinking, patted his stomach and said that no matter what happens, I will run with you.

Lin frowned slowly, as if she was thinking. After a while, she asked a question: "When we were running around, did anyone pay attention to that lady sweeping the floor?"

"I have." Zhou Zhuo said, "but there is nothing wrong with her, it's like a pre-set program, she will only stand there and do mechanical work."
