MTL - Be a Social Cow In An Infinite Game-Chapter 23 Who is the murderer (4)

When Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu returned to the dormitory, it was already mostly dark.

So far, except for the ghost king, they haven't encountered a single ghost, and they don't know what will happen at night...

The two entered the girls' dormitory and reported their names and classes to the dormitory auntie, who immediately took them upstairs.

The dormitory auntie was very enthusiastic and explained the school’s relevant systems while walking: “Our school turns off the lights at ten o’clock, and you have to go to bed at eleven o’clock at the latest. If you don’t come back after this time, you will be locked up outside. .

"Our school is very strict in this regard. You must abide by the school's rules and regulations when you get here."

Xia Zhiyi obediently agreed.

Jing Ruyu looked at her sideways, and found that she looked more and more like a good student with her bag on her back.

On the third floor, the three of them turned the corner, passed a dormitory, and stopped in front of a dormitory.

There is a glass window on the door of the dormitory, through which you can see the situation inside the house. There is a "304" sign on the window.

After opening, there is a standard eight-person room inside, with an independent bathroom and a small balcony where clothes can be dried. There are exactly three vacant beds in the room, which are the upper and lower beds by the door and the lower bed by the back door.

"Right here, the names are posted on the bed, look for them yourself, another new classmate has also arrived.

"Oh, by the way, the two students here don't come to school recently, so don't worry about it, it's fine, I'll leave first."

After the supervisor finished speaking, he closed the door and left without hesitation.

When they heard that they would not come to school, they immediately thought of the two key figures—Zhou Xiuxiu and Minghui.

Now there are only the two of them in the dormitory, and the rest are not there, including Liu Xue who went back to the dormitory first.

They didn't have time to worry about where Liu Xue had gone, and immediately stepped forward to check the names of the vacant bunk beds.

I saw "Senior Class Two and Three, Minghui" written on the upper bed, and "Senior Class Two and Three, Zhou Xiuxiu" written on the lower bed.

The two secretly said that it was true, and they were a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiuxiu and Minghui were still in the same dormitory, bunk beds.

All of a sudden, the arrows of everything seemed to be pointing at Minghui, implicating her in Zhou Xiuxiu's death.

The two looked at each other, and began to flip through Zhou Xiuxiu's and Minghui's things tacitly, not forgetting to put them back in their original places.

In the end, they found nothing, except for textbooks, workbooks, and a change of laundry, and there was no useful information at all.

They stood in front of the bed and fell silent.

At this time, the bedroom door was opened, and Liu Xue came back.

She went straight to her bed and sat down: "I searched, but there is nothing."

Xia Zhiyi turned to her and asked, "Where are the other people in this dormitory?"

Liu Xue: "Oh, they went out to do laundry."

She saw that she had just gone out and said casually: "Go out, there is a big bathhouse not far in front, and the hot water is also available for a limited time. Next to the bathhouse is the washbasin. The students here will go there to brush their teeth and wash their clothes. The decoration is also very good, and there is no horror movie decoration."

She asked back: "Did you find any clues to the ferry this trip?"

"No," Jing Ruyu said, "What about you?"

Liu Xue shook her head: "Me neither, I asked several students and they all said they didn't know.

"However, I think you may have a hard time tonight."

"Why do you say that?" Xia Zhi looked at her puzzled.

Liu Xue raised her hand and gestured between Zhou Xiuxiu's bed and the vacant upper and lower bunks on the other side.

"Because your bed is opposite Zhou Xiuxiu."

Whether the ghost king is there or not, just hearing her name will make people feel a lot of pressure, including her bed.

Liu Xue sympathized with them from the bottom of her heart, and she was also grateful from the bottom of her heart that she was not placed opposite the ghost king.

No way, you have to fight your luck in this kind of place.

Hearing this, Xia Zhiyi bent down and made Zhou Xiuxiu's bed neat and tidy, clasped his hands together, and said sincerely, "Rest in peace, Axiu, don't come to us tonight, and don't eat people, people are not good to eat.

"When I pass the level, I will burn you three stacks of the latest math workbooks when I go back, and I will ensure that you are satisfied. If you are not satisfied, you can entrust me with a dream, and I will burn you a pen, and you can come up with your own questions."

After speaking, she went back to Jing Ruyu's lower bunk and sat down, looking cute - she is too lazy to climb up now, so let's just sit here first.

Liu Xue: "..."

Three stacks of math workbooks... for a while, I didn't know if you were torturing the ghost king.

Xia Zhiyi didn't know what to do, so she took out Minghui's notebook and began to look through it.

Jing Ruyu went to the balcony to observe the environment.

The women's dormitory faced the outside of the wall. Looking around, there was nothing but white mist, and there was a signboard that said "This road is not accessible".

She looked at it for a long time but didn't see why, when suddenly she heard Xia Zhiyi in the room calling her name in surprise.

She immediately turned back to the house: "What's wrong?"

Liu Xue also leaned over.

I saw Xia Zhiyi pointing to the words on Minghui's note, and at the same time picked up the note, and said with a shocked expression: "The handwriting on this note... belongs to Minghui."

It turned out that this was not a curse written to her by others, but a curse she wrote to others, a curse that seemed to have no time to send out.

Xia Zhiyi was extremely surprised by this discovery.

Who made Ming Hui write such a curse in such anger?

Did she see something, or know something?

Is what she knew really related to Zhou Xiuxiu's death?

Liu Xue put forward a hypothesis: "So, it is very likely that Minghui transferred to another school to avoid this person, and she doesn't want to see this person?"

She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms: "To be honest, if I hadn't seen the ghost king at the beginning, I would really suspect that this person is the ghost king..."

The cursed note in his hand suddenly made Xia Zhiyi feel inexplicably cold, and a gloomy chill crept up his back.

Xia Zhiyi: "I have goosebumps again."

Jing Ruyu gently held her hand to give her a sense of security, and then said in a loud voice: "Tomorrow we will search for Minghui's location, maybe we can find something, and we will ensure our own safety tonight. Well, we don't know what's in the night after all."

"Um."

Xia Zhiyi and Liu Xue nodded.

Soon the other three students also came back. Unfortunately, they were from the class next door, and they didn't know much about Class 2 and Class 3, so Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu couldn't ask them if they wanted to.

The two resolutely gave up and planned to talk about it tomorrow.

Thinking of an important matter, Jing Ruyu opened her lips and asked, "Excuse me, what time does the Political and Education Office usually come to check the bed?"

"It's past eleven o'clock," a girl replied. "The Department of Political Affairs and Education is very strict, and they will investigate for a long time. In short, just stay in bed and sleep well."

Jing Ruyu understood: "Thank you."

…

At ten o'clock in the evening, it's time to turn off the lights.

The dormitory aunt urges everyone to go to bed loudly outside.

Xia Zhiyi climbed to the upper bunk, and when she looked up, she saw the glass window on the door.

Through the glass, you can see that the lights are still on outside. It is very bright, but no one passes by. As a result, even the voice of the housekeeper's aunt can't stop the eerie chill coming from all directions.

She suddenly thought of the note written by Ming Hui, and who they were in the opposite bed. Under the blessing of the night, her sense of terror doubled, and her goosebumps rose instantly, and a trace of fear in her heart was also evoked.

Glancing at the lower bunk, she decisively took the pillow and went down to join her ex-girlfriend who felt overwhelmed with security.

"Can I sleep with you?" She said to Jing Ruyu solemnly, "Suddenly afraid of heights, I don't want to sleep on it."

As a human being, be brave when you should be brave, be cowardly when you should be cowardly, be frank and open, and not be ashamed.

The rest: "?"

Can this bed also be afraid of heights? ? ?

Jing Ruyu glanced at her, without saying a word, lifted the quilt inside, very considerate.

"Thank you, thank you."

She lay down happily in it.

Liu Xue: "..."

Is this all right?

I don't really understand team friendship in this new world...

The lights went out, and the originally noisy dormitory building instantly sank into a dark silence.

This time the bed was smaller than in the rookie dungeon, and physical contact was unavoidable when the two of them lay together. Fortunately, in this case, the embarrassment passed once or twice.

The bedroom was very quiet, no one spoke.

After a few minutes, the student NPCs fell asleep soundly, and their breathing gradually became even and peaceful.

None of the three players are asleep, waiting for the night to reveal its sharp claws.

Time passed bit by bit, ten o'clock slowly moved towards eleven o'clock.

Everything was silent, enough still to hear the air blowing away.

The bright lights in the aisle have turned into green lights for the safe passage, which is weird no matter how you look at it.

They waited and waited, ten minutes passed, they heard nothing, saw nothing, and nothing happened, as if the night had always been like this.

But they still dare not relax.

When the time came to 23:05, finally, the sound of heavy footsteps came from outside the door, stepping on the ground again and again, shaking people's minds.

Accompanied by such a dull and terrifying sound, there is also the sound of the monster's breathing and the sound left by the chain being dragged...

Even so, the NPCs are still asleep, and only the players face all this consciously.

All the abnormal noises gathered in the long corridor and appeared under the gloomy green light.

Xia Zhiyi quietly cast her gaze out of the window, then froze.

Outside the glass window, there are many ghostly shadows, and indescribable aliens are robbing the sight.

They are slender or huge, some are covered with tumors of different sizes, and some have been pierced by sharp white bones. Under the green light, light and shadow intertwine on their bodies, all revealing indescribable horror .

Xia Zhiyi suddenly looked away, covered her mouth, and instinctively hid in Jing Ruyu's arms.

Jing Ruyu embraced her in his arms, caressed her back, frowned, obviously also saw the situation outside.

Sure enough, the night is really different from the day.

The two waited intently for a long time, but the monster did not come in, but just walked back and forth outside, like guards on patrol.

Recalling today's broadcast, they suddenly understood.

This is... the Department of Political Affairs and Education responsible for dorm inspections.

Xia Zhiyi was completely convinced.

Letting these monsters serve as political and religious offices is really worthy of a new world, as quiet as it is during the day, and more exciting at night!

After an unknown amount of time, her beating heart finally calmed down.

As long as monsters don't come in, they have nothing to fear.

At this moment, Zhou Xiuxiu's bed on the opposite side gradually showed a different change.

Lines of words were slowly engraved on that wall, and these words were mixed with the ink-like bright red blood, which made people see very blurry.

— Unless you go to Zhou Xiuxiu's bed to watch.

"There are words." She said to Jing Ruyu in a very low voice.

"and many more…"

Looking up, besides the words, another unexpected thing appeared——

There is a ghost under Ming Hui's bed.

A ghost with a white body and no face.

Caught off guard, she gasped suddenly, fearing to alarm the ghosts and the Political and Religious Office, she didn't forget to silence the sound, and even the movement of lying down was extremely careful and light.

"There is a ghost under the bed board over there, it scared me to death."

Even the voice could not be softer.

If it wasn't for the policy of the Political and Religious Department not to get out of bed, if it wasn't for the patrolling monsters from the Political and Religious Department outside, she would have to start the 100-meter sprint now, thirty-six strategies, running is the best plan!

As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, Jing Ruyu hugged her into her arms and held her head down, preventing her from looking up.

"We have this too." Jing Ruyu replied like this.

Xia Zhiyi was slightly taken aback.

Out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to be able to see a pale figure sticking to the bed, and a gloomy cool air fell silently beside them.

At the same time, a line of sight stopped on them, unwilling to leave.

Xia Zhiyi: "..."

Well, she's going to lose sleep tonight.
