MTL - I Upended Yet Another Campus Urban Legend-Chapter 7 007
The movement in Room 103 fell to Qin Zhou's ears. When he heard the sound and hadn't reached Room 103, he bumped into the old dormitory, dragging one leg of the corpse up the corridor, and he was with Qin Zhou. face to face.
He and the old dorm manager did not stop, they met and passed by. Qin Zhou took a few more steps before turning his head to see that the body was Wang Duo.
And the old host quickly disappeared in the corner of the corridor, and then the body disappeared in the corner.
The noise in Room 103 continued, Qin Zhou withdrew his gaze to Room 103.
He deliberately dawdled, in fact, to see if anyone died. NPCs only kill at night, if there is a dead person last night, the dormitory is the scene.
If you want to know the rules of death in the ruled world, it is easier to find answers from dead people than to find clues in the daytime.
The cause of death is the interpretation of the rules of death.
Among the other seven people who entered the 7-7 rule world, except for Lin Yi who remembered to lock the door, no one else in the mood remembered to close the door.
Qin Zhou looked from bedroom to bedroom, and there were no dead people inside. And he had just been in contact with Lin Yi, so no one died last night.
But now Wang Duo is dead...
Qin Zhou never thought that someone would die outside the dormitory, and he missed the opportunity to check the cause of death, so he frowned.
The old man dragged the corpse and left drag marks on the ground. The starting point of the drag marks was in Room 103. With the screams from Room 103, it was easy to know that Wang Duo Died in room 103.
He quickened his pace and took a few steps across the stairs to Room 103.
Room 103 was still in chaos, and in the chaos, only Lin Yi was the quietest, thinking about something with his eyes down.
He must have sensed Qin Zhou's gaze. Lin Yi looked up at him, and suddenly felt that Qin Zhou said something, but he didn't hear clearly: "...Senior, what did you say?"
Qin Zhou glanced at him again, and then his eyes fell on everyone: "Give you three minutes to sort out your mood."
Lin Yi: "…"
Awkward.
In fact, it was also because of what he was thinking about. Before the old dormitory took away Wang Duo's body, Lin Yi tried to change a few positions. The line of sight of the body was like the famous painting "Mona Lisa" Always follow him.
But Lin Yi found that other people didn't seem to be able to see Wang Duo's glaring eyes and his increasingly strange smile.
He was wondering if he was being targeted by the 7-7 monster, or if there was another reason.
Lin Yi thought that it would be difficult for other people who were immersed in fear to listen to Qin Zhou's words.
Even Qu Jialiang, who was unable to quarrel with Cheng Yang by Xu Xiazhi several times, began to adjust himself.
Three minutes passed, Qin Zhou didn't care whether they had adjusted or not, when Room 103 quieted down, he said coldly, "Who will arrive first?"
Cheng Yang raised his hand.
"Pass." Qin Zhou said.
"God knows how I survived alone last night, so I came down as soon as I heard the horn. I thought everyone was there, and I urgently needed to replenish my popularity." Cheng Yang waved his hand and tried to use a gesture Describe the fear of last night. "It turned out that I was the first one to arrive, and I laughed and pretended."
waving and waving, seeing Qin Zhou staring at him, Cheng Yang quickly said, "I was going back to find Lin Yixiong, and then the two senior sisters also arrived."
Li Ying nodded, and Zhou Lingling also nodded, proving that Cheng Yang was right.
Girls dare not act alone, so they come together.
The one who came after was Wang Duo.
Qin Zhou's expression darkened a bit, then asked, "What's wrong with him?"
Cheng Yang shook his head: "I don't see it, the only difference is that Senior Wang Duo glanced at us when he arrived, then turned around and walked out."
Lin Yi noticed the slight change in Qin Zhou's expression, and wondered why Qin Zhou showed such an expression when he heard that Wang Duo was the third group to arrive in Room 103.
On the side of the ear is Qin Zhou's question: "What about after going out?"
"Senior Wang Duo ran into these two when he went out." Cheng Yang was not very pleased with Qu Jialiang, and took his finger directly. In view of Qin Zhou's presence, Qu Jialiang dared not speak out.
"He stopped people and kept asking questions. But senior Wang Duo didn't answer. I can't see the rest." Cheng Yang said.
Qin Zhou looked at Qu Jialiang, Qu Jialiang said quickly, "I also want to know more."
Xu Xiazhi smiled bitterly: "The more you know, the higher your survival rate."
After everyone said a few words, it was Lin Yi's turn. Lin Yi said, "When I came down, the seniors and seniors were all there, but I was the first to move the chopsticks."
He only said this sentence, and did not tell Qin Zhou that he saw Wang Duo's big belly, because no one seemed to notice, let alone tell Qin Zhou, he looked at Wang Duo's body in Smile to yourself.
Lin Yi just showed Qin Zhou his bowl.
The bottom of the bowl is very clean, and there is no bad habit of leaving the bottom of the bowl.
After putting down the bowl, Lin Yi pointed to Wang Duo's position: "Senior Wang Duo is sitting there alone."
Everyone looked in the direction that Lin Yi pointed, Wang Duo was still in a mess. The rat and cockroaches that spit out were completely motionless, and the whole room exuded a sour and disgusting smell.
Thinking of Wang Duo's death, Li Yinghong asked: "Senior Qin, will we also die like this?"
This is what everyone is most concerned about. Wang Duo's death is not only a shock, but also a death demonstration.
"If there is no clue." Qin Zhou did not comfort him, he said, "We will all die."
The atmosphere in room 103 became more dull.
"If you don't want to die, look for clues." Qin Zhou said, "If you can't find it, look for it, even if you turn the bedroom over."
Everyone returned to their rooms with pale faces. After Lin Yi returned to the room, he knocked on the wall, leaned over and whispered, "Senior."
After a while, Qin Zhou in Room 305 responded.
Lin Yi immediately asked: "The senior was wondering why senior Wang Duo was still alive during the day?"
Qin Zhou knew that Lin Yi was very good at observing expressions, otherwise he would not have noticed his defenses, so he said directly: "Yes."
"No one dies during the day except by monsters."
Qin Zhou bumped into the old dormitory in the corridor, and only thought that Wang Duo's body had been moved to Room 103.
Lin Yi: "But senior Wang Duo couldn't be killed by the 7-7 monster. The 7-7 monster didn't have to do it himself on the first night. And the senior said that the monsters make rules and don't Enjoy the rules. If I am a monster, the authority I have to kill at will, is a fun to me to kill. To make the rules more interesting, I will make a limited but interesting rule for myself, Like killing people in a way that humans can do, but isn't the monster hiding among us?"
Qin Zhou was silent for a moment and said, "You are very good at empathizing with monsters."
"...Substituting others is just a speculative method." Lin Yi's face-to-face speech showed his identity card: "I am not a monster, if I am a monster, I will cut off my sons and no grandchildren."
“…” Qin Zhou said, “You won.”
"So am I right?" Lin Yiquan was praising himself as Qin Zhou.
"Yes, a little genius." Qin Zhou smiled.
"Have you seen the bowl I used?" Lin Yi asked again.
Qin Zhou: "Yeah."
It was Lin Yizai who told Qin Zhou that the rules of death had nothing to do with breakfast.
Among the seven people who reached room 103, he, Cheng Yang and Zhou Lingling moved their chopsticks. There are also Qu Jialiang, Xu Xiazhi and Li Ying who did not move their chopsticks.
So eating breakfast or not has nothing to do with Wang Duo's death, and why Wang Duo died during the day can only be what happened last night.
Lin Yi said: "Is there a possibility that Senior Wang Duo did trigger the death rule last night and met the NPC's killing conditions. The NPC also did it at night, but Wang Duo The senior died this morning. Just like poisoning, the poisoning time is at night, but the poisoning time is during the day."
Qin Zhou: "It's very possible."
Lin Yi immediately answered: "There must be death rules in his room, senior, do you want to take a look?"
Qin Zhou sipped Lin Yi's words and confirmed it several times. Lin Yi said 'you' instead of 'us'. He asked, "I'm going? What about you?"
"Hmmmm." Lin Yi said, "I'm in the room waiting for the senior's clue."
He didn't know yet if going to someone else's room was a rule of death.
Qin Zhou was silent: "...you don't want to die at this time."
Lin whimsically said, "I can't die now."
Qin Zhou sneered: "Can I die now?"
Lin Yi quickly explained: "That's not what I meant, wasn't it assigned last night? The senior is responsible for finding the rules of death, and I am responsible for attracting the attention of monsters."
Qin Zhou said, "But I didn't say yes."
This time, Lin Yi was silent for a while, then: "Senior~"
Silence came to Qin Zhou, and after a while: "I remember saying that I don't eat this set."
Lin Yi: "But I have no other way."
Qin Zhou: “…”
Lin Yi was ashamed for his coquettish behavior: "Are you going, senior?"
Qin Zhou: "Okay, shut up."
The wall was quiet for a while, then knocked on the wall again, Lin Yi leaned up: "Senior, I'm still here."
Qin Zhou said, "When I went downstairs in the morning, I looked at every room, Wang Duo's room was 310, the door was not closed, the room was messy, there were many food packaging bags on the ground, And a knocked over lunch box."
Lin Yi pondered: "Senior Wang Duo spit out a lot of things. Could the cause of Senior Wang Duo's death be that he ate something in the dormitory?"
He looked into his house, there was no food in Room 304, "In our case, the death rule has changed the furnishings in the house?"
"No." Qin Zhou said, "No matter how strange the death rule is, it will always be associated with the 'open window'. So if tampering with the furnishings in the house is a death rule, it will still be There is no opportunity to connect with the 'open window'."
"No one knows whether he moved or not." Qin Zhou added, "The window in Room 310 is hung with curtains. I don't know if the window is open. But even if The windows in room 310 are open, and an open window can be a signal that the rules of death are coming, but they will not be the rules of death."
Lin Yi understands.
The monster has established a death rule, waiting for the involved person to accidentally trigger and fall into the thunder pool.
If the window was originally open, the involved person lacks a 'triggered' behavior.
So Wang Duo must have done something, triggered the death rule, met the NPC killing conditions, and the behavior was related to the 'open window'.
He looked at the window, and the window of room 304 was also hung with curtains.
He searched room 304 last night, but he didn't touch the curtains.
Every person involved remembers seeing the open window before being involved. The window has become a kind of bad luck, how can they get close to the window.
Qin Zhou said, "Little genius, I don't believe you didn't notice anything unusual about Wang Duo."
"...then I'll recall the memories." Lin Yi said.
After a brief pause, Lin Yi recalled: "Senior Wang Duo was sitting alone, looking very nervous, and kept looking back."
Qin Zhou said, "The old hostel is outside?"
"No." Lin Yi said, "The old dormitory has been in the duty room, and even if the old dormitory is at the door, it is impossible to look out frequently."
After all, the old host is the so-called NPC. Knowing that the old host will kill at night, who would dare to look back at a murderer frequently?
Qin Zhou thought so too, and murmured while thinking, "Then what is he looking at?"
If he is not watching the old man, what is Wang Duo watching?
Lin Yi suddenly paused, not everyone was in room 103, Qin Zhou was not there!
Wang Duo is watching Qinzhou!
Lin Yi's mind jumped uncontrollably at this moment.
Yes, Wang Duo can only look at Qin Zhou.
To be more specific, Wang Duo is looking to see if Qin Zhou is coming, and to be more specific, Wang Duo is waiting for Qin Zhou to come!
Why wait?
When he was in the apartment lobby last night, Qin Zhou scolded Wang Duo for talking too much. Wang Duo must not be waiting for Qin Zhou to have breakfast together to enhance his relationship with Qin Zhou.
What do you want to say to Qin Zhou?
The messy room 310? Qin Zhou must say 'Get out'.
What did Wang Duo tell Qin Zhou?
"Senior Wang Duo is very nervous, his whole body is tense, but it is not a desperate collapse on the verge of death, I tend to think that Senior Wang Duo does not know that he has violated the rules of death, nor does he Knowing that he is about to die, the old dormitory manager didn't actually go to Senior Wang Duo's room last night."
Lin Yi thought deeply.
Qin Zhou also understood the logic of Lin Yi's inference, the old man in the dormitory is an NPC, and the appearance of an NPC at night means death. Wang Duo didn't know that he would die, which can prove that Wang Duo did not have contact with the old dormitory last night.
"Since it's not the old dormitory, then the reason for Senior Wang Duo's nervousness can only be..." Peeling off layer by layer, Lin Yi analyzed: "I saw something else last night, And this thing is terrifying. It's so scary that Senior Wang Duo is determined to ask for help. But it's not that scary. Although he is nervous, he can wait until dawn the next day, and he can sit down at the dining table without waiting for the senior."
"And this thing..." Lin Yi said, "It must not be in the house."
Wang Duo would not have stayed in room 310 until dawn, nor would he be the third group to arrive at the restaurant.
Things that are not in the house, there are only things outside the window.
Lin Yi pursed his lips, he was not hallucinating last night, there was indeed a rustling movement outside the window...
So the rule of death is, look out the window?
Lin Yi quickly rejected it.
No, if looking out the window is the rule of death, why use curtains to cover it? They were all pulled into the world of rules by the open window, how could they get close to the window again.
Lin Yi tried to replace Wang Duo again, knowing that the window was faulty and unlucky, he would stay far away from the window, even if the curtains covering the window flew up, he would not approach the window, Don't even look at it.
He may hide under the quilt and cover his head with the quilt, making it impossible to see.
Even if there is a strange rustling outside the window, he won't check. After all, 'curiosity killed the cat' is a familiar phrase, and it's a big deal for him to meditate on prosperity, strength, democracy, civilization and harmony under the quilt.
Unless…
Something crawled in through the open window.
