Terror is resurging, but only I am.

Chapter 54. Don't look at what you shouldn't see, hehe, don't look at what you shouldn't see.

An eerie red light moved back and forth in the dormitory corridor, and the dormitory supervisor's footsteps were silent, as if he were floating in the air.

One can imagine that being in this boys' dormitory, one can only rely on the red light emanating from the dormitory supervisor's chest to determine the location of others, which is undoubtedly a test.

A life-or-death dilemma.

Yan Ming and the others shrank their heads into the bushes. They could all tell that the dormitory manager in the dormitory building above was a special monster with "hearing" skills, able to sense the movement of the wind and grass around them.

Fortunately, she was currently attracted to the man in the dormitory building and did not pay attention to the people downstairs.

"How is it? What's going on?" Li Yan asked Yan Ming in a low voice, noticing that Yan Ming was extremely interested in the middle-aged man who had just appeared.

Yan Ming, on the other hand, was lost in thought, still unable to confirm whether the extra brain inside the middle-aged man's skull was his.

After all, even normal people don't have the ability to recognize their own brains. Who has ever seen such a thing before?

just in case……

Is this actually a new trap designed by the Doctor Ghost?
The plan was to lure him to the dormitory building and use the dorm supervisor with animal ears to kill him.
However, all of this is too much of a coincidence.

Yan Ming himself came to the dormitory building on a whim, how could the PhD student have predicted this?

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible, but the Doctor Ghost has the characteristic of being "a little more" so that there is at least a probability of predicting such things.

We must take precautions.

I want to go in and catch that guy, but I'm worried it might be a trap. Do you guys have any ideas?

Yan Ming wrote down a note and passed it to several other people.

There were five people present. The other four all had special abilities that might come in handy at crucial moments.

“I’m fine with it. I said I would do my best to help.” Li Yan answered without hesitation, then smiled. “Anyway, I’ve already died once, so I have nothing to be afraid of.”

Yan Ming then looked at the others. Lu Mingzhe nodded thoughtfully, while He Lian was clearly more impulsive and agreed without even thinking.

At this moment, Yan Ming felt something in his palm. He picked it up with the blindfolded ghost's small hand and glanced at it.

It was a note written by Li Yan.

Li Yan knew that the three students around him couldn't see the true form of the Blindfold Ghost, so he used this method to secretly pass a message to Yan Ming.

My Ghost Eyes can set a point for teleportation, but it only works for two people. If you encounter danger after entering the dormitory building, it can teleport you outside.

Ghost Eye's spatial teleportation ability?
When Yan Ming saw the note, he thought of his development of the Ghost Eye ability. He knew that the Spying Ghost had a certain "space" ability, but not much, and it could only be considered an extension.

With Li Yan around, at least their safety can be guaranteed.

Li Yan secretly gave out this information, probably knowing that such news would make the other three lose their courage to take the risk.

He genuinely felt that getting one more person into the dormitory building provided an extra layer of protection.

Yan Ming couldn't comment on this behavior because, strictly speaking, he was also a beneficiary and had no right to accuse Li Yan of hoarding his own money.

However, as for himself, if he really had to enter the dormitory building, he would definitely do his best to preserve the integrity of the entire team, and he would never betray his teammates unless absolutely necessary.

Because he didn't want to die either.

"The dormitory building might be dangerous. Think carefully before you go in together."

Li Yan turned to look at Lu Mingzhe and He Lian, as if to confirm one last thing.

“Okay, the boys’ dormitory building was a blind spot for us before, so it’s good to have the opportunity to explore it now.”

He Lian agreed quickly, and Lu Mingzhe thought for a moment and continued, "Well, I have some understanding of dormitory management, and I should be able to help you if I join."

"Um...can I refuse?"

At this moment, an untimely voice came from the mouth of the Cane King. He looked somewhat guilty at "Teacher Pan" and Li Yan on his left, then at Lu Mingzhe and He Lian on his right, and finally lowered his head weakly.

"Okay, we're a team."

"But could you please unlock my handcuffs first? We're a team, right?"

The man with the crutch looked at "Teacher Pan" with pleading eyes, because he knew that the leader of this temporary team was none other than "Teacher Pan".

However, Li Yan preemptively replied, "Let's talk about it in the dormitory building."

Yan Ming made Teacher Pan nod, which saved him the trouble of writing.

Since Li Yan's Ghost Eye has a method of directional teleportation, the risk of entering the dormitory building is greatly reduced, so he naturally wants to go in and catch this middle-aged man.

Regardless of whether the other party is related to the Doctor Ghost, capturing him is always a good thing.

Since people with brain damage were already on Yan Ming's target list, there is a high probability that "players" are behind this symptom.

Yes, the "brain drain syndrome" must be related to those veteran gamers.

For veteran players...

Not easy to deal with.

However, Yan Ming wasn't too worried because he had a veteran player of the strange game by his side, and he didn't seem to be bad at it.

The truly incompetent one is someone like Dr. Zhang, who doesn't even have a copy of the map rules. Otherwise, Yan Ming wouldn't have been able to figure out his background so easily and find an opportunity to defeat him in one blow.

If Yan Ming had one more trump card, and couldn't resolve the situation using the "encountering the enemy's defenses" strategy, then he would lose the entire game.

The group made a decision and secretly went around to the main entrance of the dormitory building.

"I'll place a True Eye here to guard and monitor."

Li Yan said this, then stretched out his hands and squeezed the gap on his forehead, like squeezing a pimple, and squeezed out a blood-red ghost eye with difficulty.

Yan Ming noticed that Li Yan's ghost eyes seemed somewhat different from his own.

The color is darker, and the ferocity in the scarlet ghost's eyes is even stronger.

Is it because Li Yan embodies more fundamental map rules?
Or is it because Li Yan's "gradient level" is higher than mine?
Yan Ming still remembered the "gradient experience". He had borrowed a two-week search, attack and withdrawal mission by using Ghost Eye's corpse. The reward for a successful withdrawal was this gradient experience.

After much thought, the only thing that can be linked to it is "level". After completing the task, the player's strength will definitely increase, so the only thing that can be done is to increase the strength of "weirdness", right?

After placing the ghost eye at the main entrance, Li Yan led everyone to the side entrance of the dormitory building on the other side.

“We’ll enter the dormitory building from this side. This side is a bit more secluded, in the opposite direction from where the dormitory manager was just now,” he continued. “I’ve planted two spies in this dormitory building before. That middle-aged man hasn’t left yet. He must be restricted by some kind of rule in the dormitory and can’t leave directly.”

This was obvious, since the dormitory building wasn't covered by wire mesh. If the middle-aged man were ruthless, he could have simply run to the third floor, climbed down the corridor, and jumped into the flower bushes to leave. But he didn't do that. Instead, he was circling around with the dormitory manager, as if he was looking for something.

Yan Ming and the others quickly figured out what this guy was looking for. As they entered the dormitory building, lines of blood-red text appeared out of thin air on the wall, revealing all the details of the dormitory building.

Do not look at what is improper.

[Mission Brief: In the mist-shrouded Wangcheng No. 1 High School, the second-year boys' dormitory is a gathering place for evil spirits. The dormitory supervisor was chosen by an evil spirit and, after countless torments, became its puppet. She lost her soul and began harvesting human souls for the evil spirit.]

[Mission Objective: Locate the five safety bolts inside the dormitory building, assemble them into the electrical boxes on each of the five floors, restart the dormitory power, and then open the dormitory door to successfully escape.]

[Task Reward: Choose any pair of dormitory supervisor's ears.]

"A mission? Did you see these words written in blood?"

King of the Canes saw something unexpected and acted somewhat excitedly.

Li Yan then unlocked his handcuffs. The format of this side quest was no different from what he had experienced in other bizarre games, so he quickly adapted.

According to the mission description, the dormitory building will not be opened until all the safety bolts are found, and they will not be able to get out.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if the King of the Canes is unshackled, since they're in the same boat now.

Yan Ming, however, found it strange because he hadn't been able to see the blood-written words on the wall before.

Aren't all these game-related things only visible to "players"?
Previously, he could only see these blood words by using Li Yan's corpse and relying on his ghost eye perspective. What's going on now?
Are they also being considered "players"?

There were too few players on the game server, so they simply added some "bots"?
[Can you see this too?]

Yan Ming immediately wrote down his question to Lu Mingzhe and He Lian beside him.

The fact that the two nodded at the same time made Yan Ming thoughtful.

He sensed something was wrong, but couldn't figure out why, so he had to put the problem aside for the time being.

The mode of this mission is somewhat similar to the asymmetrical competitive games he has played in real life, such as Dead by Daylight and Identity V.

A butcher is hunting down several ordinary people, who need to complete some simple tasks to open a gate and escape the area the butcher is roaming in.

However, it is clear that the task at hand is not exactly the same as the game.

The mission was called "Don't Look Where It's Improper," and considering the hundreds or thousands of ears on the dormitory manager's body, Yan Ming guessed that there must be some kind of connection between them.

The mission description wasn't exactly concise; the blood-red characters covering the wall were densely packed. He felt that the description was indeed rather corny and very ordinary, but there was definitely necessary information hidden within it.

Therefore, Yan Ming took this opportunity to memorize all the blood-written words in front of him, keeping them in mind for future use.

“My other two ghost eyes were thrown in the corridors on the 2nd and 3rd floors. We saw the dormitory manager wandering around on the 4th floor earlier, so he shouldn’t be close to here yet. We can search the 1st floor for this safety bolt.”

Li Yan shared the information he had gathered with everyone, and then continued, "There are a total of 5 safety bolts, which need to be placed in the electrical boxes on the fifth floor. On average, there might be one on each floor."

"Okay, could you please keep an eye on the dorm supervisor's movements? Let's split up and search first." Lu Mingzhe nodded in agreement.

【Our group】

Yan Ming waved the note in front of the Cane King, then led him towards the dormitories on the outer side.

In this situation, Lu Mingzhe would definitely be paired with He Lian, so there was no need for him to make a fool of himself by forcibly breaking up that pair of classmates.

Yan Ming had the Cane King follow him so he could keep an eye on him and prevent him from doing anything unnecessary.

If the middle-aged man upstairs really did escape from the teaching building, then he is very likely the so-called "class monitor".

He is the class monitor of the "Crutch King" (a nickname for a student).

Yan Ming was still not at ease with this guy.

The two walked one after the other into a male dormitory room in the middle of the corridor. The dormitory number was 2112.

Which dormitory did you live in before?

Yan Ming asked the cane king next to him with a note, but saw that the cane king was staring blankly at the surface of the dormitory cabinet in front of him.

After shaking the note twice, the man with the cane finally came to his senses. He frowned and said, "Teacher Pan, why does this place feel different from the dormitory building I usually live in?"

He pointed to the cabinet and ran his finger across it, instantly turning his finger black and dirty. Just by looking at it, you could tell that the desk had accumulated a lot of dust.

The cane-wielding man continued, "Look, I remember this dormitory on the first floor is used for living, and it's used by those classes downstairs, I think it's classes six through ten? With people living here every day, how could this place be so dirty?"

Do you also clean the house?

Yan Ming was immediately curious. He had thought that the students in these fake teaching buildings were "automatically generated" because of his entry, but he did not expect that these strangely created students would have their own lives.
And didn't you say that every time you go back to the dorm you have to outwit and outmaneuver the dorm supervisor and those monster teachers?
Do you still have time to clean?

"Of course, maintaining hygiene is a task we must accomplish. If we are caught by the dormitory manager, that dormitory will become a focus of attention the following night."

At this point, the Cane King couldn't help but tremble all over, as if he had thought of something extremely terrifying.

Yan Ming then opened the six cabinets in front of him one after another, and a peculiar smell wafted out.

It smelled musty, and also had the scent of some kind of shower gel and a boy.

It wasn't exactly smelly, but it certainly wasn't fragrant either.

His eyes began to search the cabinet, which contained only some neatly arranged daily necessities, but everything was full.

The shower gel bottle is full, the shampoo bottle is full, the toothpaste bottle is full, and the toothbrush and toothbrush cup are brand new.

No, something seems to have happened in this dormitory, and then someone put these things back in, and no one has lived there since.

Just as Yan Ming was about to close the cabinet, he suddenly noticed some words engraved on the upper part of the cabinet's interior.

It was carved slowly with a knife; the characters were crooked, but the content was somewhat strange.

It's hidden inside the ear.

Who told you to see this?! You clearly couldn't find it.

Quickly hide and make some noise to make it leave.

"Yan Ming, be careful! The dormitory supervisor is coming down. Let's quickly go upstairs to the other side!"

Just as Yan Ming was deep in thought as he looked at these words, Li Yan suddenly stood at the door of the dormitory and called out anxiously.

“You…” The Cane King took several steps back in surprise.

Yan Ming turned his head and saw that Li Yan's ghost eye on his forehead and his eyes had been replaced by three ears, which were twitching back and forth as if listening to the sounds around them.

Li Yan chuckled:
"Come on, why aren't you leaving?"

　New author, new book, please read it! Thank you so much!
　　It's almost time, I really just want to put it on sale QAQ
