MTL - Fucking Beauty In Escape Game-Chapter 1
On April 4, 2044, a game called Escape from Terror came, pulling most people on the earth into a different space, claiming that they could leave the horror world safely through forty worlds and get mysterious rewards.
Now this game has been started for five years, but no one has ever heard of it.
【The world is loading...】
【The world is loaded, welcome to Ghost Campus Senafir】
[Every school has a wide-spread supernatural legend, the thirteenth step, the piano that plays automatically, the red dancing shoes that keep spinning, the pale face floating in the fountain pool... There are such legends in Times High School There is a story that every time twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, there will be a rustling sound on the playground, as if someone is digging up the soil bit by bit. One night, pale human hands stretched out from the ground...]
Li Xi opened his eyes and quickly looked around. There were five people standing on the playground, three of them stood together, one of them was tall, with honey-colored skin, clean short hair and sharp red phoenix eyes, showing a bit of indifference that was not approachable.
Sure enough, he and Duan Zhen were separated into the same world. The young man's eyes lit up a little. Thinking of his current personality, he quickly pressed down on the brim of his hat so that the other party didn't notice his deliberate gaze.
The task was posted on the smart bracelet, Li Xi glanced at it casually and ignored it, but stepped up to Duan Zhen and asked in a low voice: "Excuse me, may I join your team?"
Before the man could ask, he spoke quickly again: "My ability is spiritual perception, which can predict danger. I think it is safer to have more people in this world... Don't worry, I can protect myself and won't hold you back." .”
In such a world full of ghosts, a team member who can predict danger is very important. Li Xi knew that the psychics in Duan Zhen's team could not participate in this world for some reason, so he deliberately fabricated such ability for himself.
Sure enough, Duan Zhen's beautiful and sharp Danfeng eyes looked over, silently sized him up for a few seconds and then nodded in agreement.
Li Xi slightly bent his lips: "Thank you, my name is Li Xi."
"Duan Zhen." Duan Zhen's voice was as cold as his own, slightly hoarse, making people's ears itchy.
The team members beside him came over and said with a smile: "Hi, my name is Xia Qirong, and his name is Sun Le. You can just hide behind us when there is danger."
The thin and tall Xia Qirong hugged the shoulders of the person next to him: "Le Zai is our shield, I can be regarded as a nanny."
Li Xi bowed his lips and nodded at them. He was wearing a light-colored T-shirt and slacks, and he wore a white baseball cap on his head. He looks like a thin, shy high school student.
"Excuse me, can I join?" The last person came over hurriedly. He was a handsome and fair-looking young man. He had been listening to them talking not far away, and then he introduced himself: "My name is Yao Jiu, and I just entered the game. ...but I'll try not to hold back."
"Newcomers?" Xia Qirong was taken aback, and looked at him curiously: "I've heard that newcomers will be arrested in this poor place, and this is the first time I've met them."
Yao Jiu smiled bitterly: "We outsiders don't know the rules of arresting people here."
Every year someone in the world disappears, and all they can do is pray that it doesn't come their way.
"Quiet." Duan Zhen frowned suddenly.
A rustling sound gradually came from the surroundings, as if something was constantly scratching the ground. The sound was not loud, and it sounded far away. Matched with the eerie surroundings, it made people feel uneasy.
Li Xi thought for a while, then said softly: "There is no danger, this may be some kind of early warning."
"Yes, Senafel's world often does this." Xia Qirong echoed: "It's like a horror movie, with rules, much better than other worlds."
"He is reminding us to enter the teaching building." Li Xi frowned and continued, looking up at the teaching building in front of him.
The exterior of the building used to be painted with vermilion paint, but now it has been worn out by the wind and rain. The wall skin has peeled off unevenly, with pits and hollows. From a distance, it seems that blood has dried up on it. In addition, there are black holes in the teaching building. A piece of it looked quite eerie.
The playground is full of sand and gravel, and the surrounding trees have lost all their leaves. The branches are rugged and twisted into the shadow of the devil in the night.
The rustling sound was getting closer.
"According to the routine of horror movies, if we don't go in, it will definitely be plot killing." Xia Qirong rubbed his chin, looking not nervous at all.
"Go, go in." Duan Zhen said, he pushed open the iron door first, and the door that had not been moved for a long time made a very loud creaking sound in the night.
Stepping into the corridor, a chill hit with the opening of the door, and the surrounding temperature dropped instantly.
"It's so cold, it's really cooled down." Xia Qirong hissed, and pulled out his coat from his backpack: "Fortunately, I followed my senior's experience and brought clothes."
"You know Senafel's tricks very well?" Li Xi looked away from Duan Zhen and glanced at him.
"This is the second time for me to enter his world, but many people have already understood the routines of the world of the Four Great Demon Kings." Xia Qirong said.
He still wanted to continue yelling at this seemingly ignorant new team member, but Duan Zhen suddenly said, "Li Xi, which floor shall we go to first?"
"Let me see." Li Xi's attention immediately shifted to Duan Zhenna.
He pretended to close his eyes for two seconds, actually remembering the plot of this world, and then replied with a cheat sheet: "The second floor is safer, but there may be clues on the third floor."
"Go to the third floor." Duan Zhen made a decision without the slightest hesitation, then said after a pause, "Xia Qirong, keep quiet."
Xia Qirong grumbled sullenly.
There are five floors in total, and there are stairs on the left and right sides of the hall, and Li Xi led them to the right. The third floor is the third grade classroom, the classroom door is locked, and the situation inside can only be barely seen through the dusty windows.
Just standing here, there is a chilly feeling.
"There should be clues in the classroom." Li Xi said, probably because he was frightened, he unconsciously took a few steps closer to Duan Zhen.
Duan Zhen lowered his eyes and glanced at him. Before, he thought the young man was slender from a distance, but now that he stood close, it only reached his shoulders.
"Fear is right behind me." He said something rare, kicked open the door of the classroom violently, and made a bang.
A thick cloud of dust came out, Duan Zhen waved his hand and squinted his eyes towards the ground.
The dust was thick enough to leave footprints, but they clearly did not step into the classroom, but there were many messy but clear marks on the ground, as if many people had fled in a hurry in the classroom just now.
"There are so many ghosts? No wonder this floor is full of ghosts." Xia Qirong couldn't help clicking his tongue: "It will take a lot of effort to be surrounded."
Duan Zhen hummed in a calm voice and walked into the classroom.
The people behind also went in, Yao Jiu hesitated, but looked around, gritted his teeth and followed them into the classroom, but just stuck to the wall, as if he would escape from the door at any moment.
At this time, Sun Le, who hadn't spoken all the time, took out a stack of talisman papers from his bag, threw them into the sky, and the talisman papers burned and landed on the four corners.
"One minute, no ghosts will come in until the talisman paper is burnt out," he said.
The five people scattered to look for clues.
Duan Zhen was turning over the podium, which was an old-fashioned wooden podium, very large, with an old roll call book on it, and a drawer on the left, which contained nothing. He carefully picked up the roster and looked through it. It was a normal content, and he remembered the attendance of each student.
He was sweeping down ten lines at a glance, but felt that the corner of his clothes was gently tugged.
"Brother Duan." Li Xi's voice sounded next to him, it was a very clear and clear youthful voice, like a clear spring, but it was always suppressed very low, revealing a little uneasiness for no reason.
"Just call me by my name." Duan Zhen said, from his perspective, he could only see the white baseball cap.
Li Xi raised his head and pointed to the podium.
He walked forward, Duan Zhen saw his thoughts, took a step back, and saw the other party knock on the podium, making a crisp thumping sound.
— This podium is hollow.
Li Xi squatted down, pointed to the cabinet under the podium and said softly: "I feel bad here."
The cabinet was of a construction with round handles, and a short wooden stick passed between the two handles.
Duan Zhen frowned and glanced at Sun Le.
"There is still half a minute." Sun Le said.
Duan Zhen wanted Li Xi to pull out the wooden stick, but thinking of the other party's courage, he still signaled him to stand up, and at the same time bent down and slowly pinched one end of the wooden stick with his hands.
"There may be something inside, you have to be careful." Li Xi said beside him, he clenched the corner of his clothes with his fingers, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, as if he was afraid. However, if someone could see his eyes, they would find that he didn't look at the cabinet at all, but stared obsessively at Duan Zhen's every move.
Duan Zhen pulled out the short stick, but nothing happened.
Li Xi let out a sharp breath, and immediately held it.
Duan Zhen opened the door of the cabinet, and the cabinet closed tightly with some force. As soon as it was opened, something fell down with a bang—it was a mummy!
Duan Zhen, who was almost hit by the mummy, frowned, glanced at the almost burnt spell, stepped forward to search the school uniform on the mummy, then grabbed Li Xi's wrist, and said to the other three: "Go!"
They quickly exited the classroom, and Sun Le pasted a spell on the door. As soon as everything was done, the sound of feet dragging the floor was heard from inside, and the glass of the door reflected the withered and terrifying face of the mummy. It opened its mouth and made a hoarse sound, banging on the door one after another, but was bounced away by the power of the spell.
Duan Zhen obviously felt the wrist he was holding tremble, he let go of his hand, and patted Li Xi's shoulder lightly: "Don't worry, it won't come out."
"I'm not afraid." Li Xi retorted in a low voice, "I'm just a little nervous."
Skin-to-skin contact at the first meeting, he was so nervous that he couldn't walk well, and he always felt that the next step was to open the relationship together!
