MTL - They Are Not Human!-Chapter 36 Seminary 12

Wen Qing ignored Oz and moved forward to stay away from Oz.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced back, Oz did not follow, and the two maintained a normal social distance.

Wen let out a sigh of relief.

After expelling the so-called evil spirits, the high priest made the crowd begin to pray.

The difference from yesterday is that there is only one teacher, Teacher Chen, in the temple today, and none of the other teachers appear.

Wen Qing stood in the middle of the crowd, fishing upright and open.

After praying all morning, everyone was allowed to leave the temple and go to the cafeteria until the lunch break.

Wen Qing quickly found Bai Tong and Li Jingjing.

Bai Tong whispered: "Find Ji Junfeng first, he has a problem."

Wen Qing whispered, "he hasn't been in class for the past two days, and he hasn't been seen in the dormitory."

It seemed that he had disappeared, and the other classmates, teachers... no one cared about his disappearance.

Thinking about it now, on the first day they arrived at the dungeon, Ji Junfeng had a lesson in the classroom.

Li Jingjing whispered: "My dear, this clue is still playing hide-and-seek with us."

She glanced around and saw that there was no teacher around, so she reached out and grabbed a classmate, pretending to be fierce: "Hey, did you see that kid Ji Junfeng?"

The classmate was not frightened by her appearance, but asked suspiciously, "Why are you looking for him?"

Li Jingjing sneered: "We're going to beat him!"

"It's going to be God's birthday soon."

Beating people for transfer is a very reasonable excuse.

The classmate calmly snorted, calmly pointed to the surrounding classmates, and said to them: "See, these are the people who are looking for him."

"We all want to beat him up in the last few days to be noticed by the high priest. That kid probably knows what he's doing, so he's hiding somewhere and doesn't dare to come out."

Li Jingjing paused, so it seemed that the excuse for Ji Junfeng's disappearance was more reasonable. .

The classmates pulled back their clothes, took two steps, and then turned around and said to them with a smile, "Brother, find someone to beat them together."

Walking to a place with few people, Wen Qing leaned into Bai Tong's ear and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Ji Junfeng?"

Bai Tong analyzed in a low voice: "At present, it seems that Ji Junfeng has not lied to us. The activities before the birthday of the gods are choosing auspicious times, exorcising evil spirits, burning incense, and praying. These activities are fixed."

"I thought it was some kind of prayer dance to exorcise evil spirits... Now it seems that only the high priest needs a reason to kill."

Bai Tong said lightly: "Ji Junfeng has experienced a god's birthday once, and he knew about it, but the high priest let him be in this school."

Wen Qing pursed her lips. Jiang Jing said that in the beginning, everyone liked Ji Junfeng.

If Ji Junfeng said it at the time, some classmates should believe him.

Li Jingjing frowned and said, "Did he not say it? Or can't he say it?"

"Is there such a possibility, for example, the high priest last year was still normal? Expelling evil spirits is also a normal activity, so Ji Junfeng is fine?"

Wen Qing expanded his thinking because of Li Jingjing's words. He thought about it and asked, "Could it be that God thought Ji Junfeng was good-looking and saved him?"

He felt that this was something that the yakuza would do.

Li Jingjing nodded thoughtfully: "It may be possible, so is it a sadomasochistic love triangle?"

"…"

Bai Tong was silent for a moment, and couldn't help reminding: "You are all making excuses for him."

Li Jingjing smiled and said without changing his face, "He looks good."

Wen Qing lowered his eyes and whispered, "I also hope he is a good person."

Bai Tong pursed his lips: "Ji Junfeng is excluded in this school, and his presence is very weak. The teachers and students don't care about his life or death."

"Looking at another angle, the status of the weak can let everyone relax their vigilance, and he can move around in this school at will."

"He doesn't have to go to the cafeteria, he doesn't have to participate in the activities of choosing auspicious times and exorcising evil spirits..."

Bai Tong raised his eyelids and said lightly, "He can openly avoid occasions where the high priest appears."

Wen Qing was stunned, these words sounded familiar.

Often appearing in movies and TV shows.

In general, the result of this routine is…

Are Ji Junfeng and the High Priest the same person?

Wen Qing was a little confused: "If Ji Junfeng is really the same person as the high priest, why does he keep getting beaten?"

Bai Tong turned to look at him: "maybe because he likes it."

Wen Qing was stunned, recalling several contacts with Ji Junfeng, he didn't seem to be so disgusted or repulsed by pain.

Because Ji Junfeng likes it, so his clue is bullying?

Wen Qing simply asked the system directly: [System, is it a secret of the seminary that Ji Junfeng and the high priest are the same person? 】

001 has no hints.

Is the answer wrong?

Wen Qing was a little puzzled.

Bai Tong could see at a glance what he had done just now, and now he was thinking that it was all right. He laughed and said, "It's not necessarily wrong."

"There is another possibility that we haven't analyzed to the point."

Wen Qing thought for a while and asked, "Is it about the students who were dropped out?"

Bai Tong couldn't guarantee it, and said to him, "Maybe."

"One hundred questions, we may only get thirty points now."

Wen Qing was even more puzzled: "Don't you give any hints for thirty minutes?"

Li Jingjing's mouth twitched, and he said to Wen Qing very experienced, "No."

"Thirty points, according to the logic of the system, rounding up will not give points."

Wen Qing: "…"

Li Jingjing raised the corner of his mouth: "So at this time, many players will feel that their analysis is wrong."

"And then I walked to the wrong answer without looking back. I almost got killed once before."

Wen Qing couldn't help but say, "This system is too scheming!"

The next second, he heard 001's sneer.

Wen Qing's expression stiffened.

Seeing this, Bai Tong frowned: "What's wrong?"

"My system seems a little unhappy," Wen said in a low voice.

Li Jingjing was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Well, your system is quite temperamental."

She poked Wen Qing's shoulder and said to his chest, "We didn't say you had a scheming."

001: […]

Wen Qing silently praised the main system in her heart. It's really a good system. In order to train players, she came up with this wonderful scoring method...

001: […]

After lunch, there is a two-hour lunch break.

The three walked around the school, went to the dormitory and the library, but still couldn't find Ji Junfeng.

There is a prayer class in the afternoon, so I can only go back to the classroom temporarily.

While walking, Li Jingjing looked at the high priest building from a distance, and whispered, "You think Ji Junfeng will not be imprisoned by the high priest guy?"

"If they weren't alone, it would be time to put on a captivity play and then kill the seminary for love."

Wen Qing's train of thought was immediately distracted. Does this sound reasonable?

Bai Tong couldn't help laughing and said to him, "Don't really believe her words."

"But..." Bai Tong paused and looked up at the High Priest's Building, "Ji Junfeng is really likely to be there."

This is the only place they haven't found yet.

The three discussed and decided to find a chance to go to the High Priest's Building after dinner, so they returned to the classroom first.

Before reaching the door of the classroom, I saw the remaining two players squatting in the corner of the corridor, whispering something.

Seeing them coming, the two players looked at each other and walked away quickly.

After walking to another secluded corner, the short player said, "Today is only Wednesday, and there are still three days until the birthday of God. We have 72 people now, and the three dead are exactly 69 people."

Another player's face changed: "What should I do then?"

Zhao Wu gritted his teeth: "Those people may not lie to us, we have to violate the school rules first."

Sun Xin quickly asked: "But if we also violate the school rules, how will people die in the next few days?"

Zhao Wu glared at him: "If we violate the school rules now, we are equal to other players. Who do you choose for the one-half and one-eighth chance of death?"

Sun Xin: "Eight, one-eighth."

Zhao Wu stood up and said to him, "Wait for the curfew at night."

 …

The night is getting darker.

Wen Qing and Li Jingjing followed Bai Tong and swayed slowly to the door of the High Priest's Building.

At half past five in the evening, I don't know if it's a matter of time, many teachers go in and out of this building, come in, go out, come in, go out...

The High Priest Building looked very lively, and a few people didn't find a chance to sneak in at all.

Li Jingjing frowned: "What should I do?"

Bai Tong leaned against the wall and said softly, "Wait."

Wen Qing was a little nervous and asked in a low voice, "What if we run into the teacher later? What should we say? What should we do?"

Li Jingjing hurriedly said, "Bah, bah, we won't be so unlucky."

Bai Tong laughed and said to him, "It's not curfew time, it's normal for us to appear anywhere."

Li Jingjing touched his chin and continued: "If we are really caught, we will be fascinated by the high priest's demeanor, and we can't help but want to get closer to him."

Wen Qing always had a bad premonition, and he asked again, "What if we hit the high priest directly?"

Li Jingjing said, "Then tell him, we are fascinated by you, and we can't help but want to get closer to you."

Wen asked weakly, "couldn't he just let the vines eat us?"

Li Jingjing's expression changed slightly: "Bah bah bah, hurry up and bah bah bah."

Wen Qing: "Bah bah bah."

From 5:30 to 6:30, it was getting darker and darker, and the school gradually became quiet.

The teachers in the hall on the first floor gradually disappeared.

Bai Tong glanced at the time and whispered, "Go in now."

The first floor is a very ordinary hall. The three of them walked past here before going to the basement last night, found the stairs in the corner, and went up to the second floor.

When I walked to the second floor, I saw a huge transparent flower room. The flower room was located in the middle of the second floor, occupying almost all the place. It was filled with various flowers, plants and trees, growing vigorously under the light.

Although no vines were seen, Wen Qing was always a little hairy, for fear that a vine would quietly emerge from the soil.

Bai Tong glanced around, looked at the only door on the side of the flower house, and said in a low voice, "Go and have a look."

Walking to the door, Bai Tong turned the door lock.

With a "click", the entire door lock fell directly from the door.

Wen Qing was stunned for a moment, did anyone else come here before them?

Bai Tong pursed his lips, put away the door lock, and opened the door.

This is a normal office, with desks and chairs, bookshelves, and even a human-height statue of a god.

Bai Tong looked at the door lock in his hand, frowned slightly, strode forward, and opened the drawer directly.

Unsurprisingly, it is empty.

Like the teacher's office in the teaching building, fake.

Wen Qing blinked and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that all offices are fake?"

Bai Tong frowned: "It should be hidden."

"Since there are yearbooks and school history, it means that the seminary is functioning normally, and there must be previous student files."

Wen Qing pondered that there were only a few buildings in total.

First exclude canteens, dormitories, and teaching buildings, then only the library and here are left.

They visited the library at noon and didn't see any room like the office.

Bai Tong lowered his eyes and said, "There is only the second floor here."

"The first floor is the hall, and the second floor is the flower room."

After removing the first and second floors, there is only...

Wen Qing's eyelids jumped, and she asked in a low voice, "Is it the basement?"

Hearing these three words, Li Jingjing's face turned pale and scolded: "Damn, it's probably in the basement."

"It's a confinement room, everyone doesn't want to approach it, it's very safe."

Bai Tong glanced at the clock on the wall: "There is still twenty minutes of curfew."

"Go down first."

The road to the basement was very familiar to the three of them.

Go to the statue and stop.

Wen Qing looked at the statue that was much taller than herself, her body was inexplicably cold.

He couldn't help leaning beside Bai Tong, looking at the two roads in front of him.

One was that he and Oz left last night, and the other was that Li Jingjing and Bai Tong left last night.

On both sides of the road are gloomy iron doors, and the road that is spacious and can accommodate three people in parallel is lined by these iron doors.

Li Jingjing pointed to the road on the right, lowered his voice and said, "This is a dead end. I was locked in the innermost room yesterday."

Wen Qing thought for a while and whispered, "Then go to the left one?"

"There seems to be a corner on this road, but I wasn't taken over yesterday."

Li Jingjing had a psychological shadow on the confinement room, rubbed his arms, and urged, "Let's go over and take a look."

Bai Tong walked at the forefront, the three of them walked straight forward, walked around the corner, and a door appeared.

This door is made of wood, brown solid wood, very abrupt among the iron doors.

Bai Tong stepped forward, listened sideways for a moment, and tried to push the door.

With a creak, the door opened.

This is an archive room, not big, with only three bookshelves, the bookshelves are full of folders, and each folder has the year on it.

Li Jingjing glanced at the room. Although there were lights, it was surrounded by walls, which made her have a bad association.

She hurriedly said, "I don't want to enter the room here, you two go in and look for it, I'll look to the wind."

Wen nodded lightly and walked into the archives.

He picked up a folder, the folder name was 1949, opened it, and it was empty.

Wen Qing froze for a moment and picked up the second book, which was also empty.

Bai Tong frowned and quickly glanced at the folders on the bookshelf, all of them were empty.

"This is pre-1950."

The three bookshelves are marked with the year.

【Before 1950】

【1950—2000】

【2000—2021】

The ones before 1950 were empty. Among the other two bookshelves, Wen Qing decisively stopped in front of the bookshelves in 2021 and picked up a folder.

You can feel the difference in weight when you start.

There is something in it.

He hurriedly opened the folder and saw Qian Gangfeng's information, which included his name, gender, birthday, address, enrollment time, and so on.

Wen Qing whispered, "Here is it."

Bai Tong walked over quickly.

Wen Qing turned to the next page. The second page was a photo of Qian Gangfeng. Unlike the color photo in the library, it was a black and white photo, like a posthumous photo.

Wen Qing continued to scroll down, and the next one was Yang Fan, whose photo was also in black and white.

After that, five more black-and-white photos.

They are all students admitted this year in 2021.

After that, the photos of other students are in normal color.

Obviously, the people in the black and white photos are dead.

The five students who were dropped out were actually dead.

Wen Qing pursed her lips, continued to flip, and saw her profile.

Name, age, birthday...

His eyes stopped suddenly, staring at the address in the data column.

This address is his address in the real world, the dormitory of the university he is studying in, and it is even accurate to the specific dormitory number.

He opened his mouth and wanted to speak to Bai Tong, but before he could say the first word, a slight movement suddenly sounded outside the door.

Li Jingjing was reminding them that someone was coming.

The next second, Teacher Chen's voice sounded outside the door: "Li Jingjing."

Li Jingjing responded exaggeratedly: "Hey! My dear teacher Chen."

Teacher Chen asked coldly, "What did I say?"

"Students are not allowed to approach here."

Li Jingjing hurriedly said, "I know, but I can't help it. The high priest who exorcised evil spirits today is really handsome. I just said that I was intoxicated and lustful, and couldn't wait to find the high priest..."

"I searched the whole building and saw no one, and then I came here."

Teacher Chen was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "It's time for curfew."

Li Jingjing's face changed, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Teacher, I'll leave right away."

Teacher Chen: "Li Jingjing violated Article 3 of the school rules and was confined for 6 hours."

After speaking, he ignored Li Jingjing and walked straight to the archives, as if he knew someone was inside.

Seeing this, Li Jingjing quickly grabbed his right hand: "Mr. Chen! I want to report, there are still people upstairs."

Teacher Chen glanced at his hand, stopped, and turned to look at Li Jingjing.

Li Jingjing: "Really! He also wants to find the high priest, he wants to compete with me for favor!"

Teacher Chen raised his left hand, opened the door of the confinement room on the side, and motioned for Li Jingjing to enter.

Li Jingjing dawdled to the door, staring closely at Teacher Chen's movements, and was relieved to see him turn around and walk out.

On the other side, Bai Tong heard the footsteps outside the door drifting away, pursed his lips, and said to Wen Qing, "Let's go first."

Wen Qing clutched the folder and nodded.

As soon as he reached the door, there were several footsteps outside the door.

Bai Tong's face changed, and he immediately pulled Wen Qing back.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of opening and closing the door sounded, and it sounded that someone was locked up again.

The two hid in the corner behind the bookshelf, Wen Qing's back was pressed against the wall, and her heart was beating so nervously.

Soon, he felt something was wrong.

Something is moving on the wall.

To be precise, the entire wall is moving.

Wen Qing's eyelashes trembled, she didn't dare to make a sound, she subconsciously tugged on Bai Tong's sleeve, and when she tilted her head, she met Bai Tong's shrinking eyes.

Before Wen Qing could react, the whole person seemed to have fallen into the swamp, and fell into it in the blink of an eye.

"click".

The door to the archives opened.

Mr. Chen stood at the door and looked blankly at Bai Tong by the wall: "Bai Tong violated Article 3 of the school rules. He was confinement for 24 hours due to repeated violations of the school rules."

*****

The feeling of weightlessness made Wen Qing unable to make a sound. He opened his eyes wide, and after ten seconds, he fell on something soft and elastic.

It was dark below, and Wen Qing suddenly came to this place from the bright light, unable to see anything, and instinctively groped for the things around her.

Immediately afterwards, he touched the familiar, slender and long vines.

Everywhere.

Wen Qing was stiff all over, realizing that the soft cushions under his **** were all these vines.

The vines are intertwined and gathered together, layer upon layer forming a web-like thing.

The only thing that is fortunate is that these vines did not move, lying quietly as if they were asleep.

Wen Qing was so frightened that her eyes turned red instantly, how did he, he fall into someone else's nest!

I remember that Bai Tong wanted to grab himself before he fell, Wen Qing exhaled and called softly, "Bai Tong?"

His voice was very soft, but it was very clear underground, as if it had been amplified several times, echoing echoes.

Bai Tong didn't respond, but the vines responded to him and moved slightly.

Wen Qing's body became even stiffer, comforting herself silently, it seemed that Bai Tong didn't fall off, the vine didn't wake up, the vine didn't wake up...

After a while, Wen Qing got used to the darkness in front of her eyes and saw vaguely that there was a path a few meters away, the color of which was different from the vines.

He held his breath and stood up tremblingly, for fear that the vines would suddenly move.

Wen Qing nervously pinched her palms and walked slowly in the direction of the path.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Suddenly, the vines under his feet moved slightly.

Wen Qing's body froze, not daring to move.

The vines under his feet were like twitches in his sleep, moving and not moving.

The path was just two steps away, Wen Qing took a deep breath, and regardless of whether it was 37 or 21, she quickly ran up the path and ran forward without looking back.

The sound of his footsteps was exceptionally clear underground, as if it had been amplified several times.

Soon, Wen Qing heard a familiar rustling sound echoing behind her.

Getting closer and louder.

A cold wind came from behind, and Wen Qing felt the vines wrap around her ankles, slowly winding, tightening, and pulling back.

Like a snake wrapping its prey with its tail, it is about to tear it apart and eat it.

Wen Qing's mind went blank, struggling subconsciously, and the next second, his wrist was also pulled.

He reached out tremblingly to try to free what was in his hand.

With a "pop" sound, Wen Qing was stunned.

The thing that grabbed his hand didn't seem to be a vine.

Suddenly, an extremely weak voice suddenly sounded in the ear: "Don't move."

It was Oz's voice.

If it wasn't for seeing Oz's voice, Wen Qing would have thought it was her hallucination.

He didn't dare to move, he stood stiffly, vaguely saw Oz's pulling out something, bent down, and soon, the vines wrapped around his feet lost their strength.

Wen Qing stammered, "Thank you... um—"

Before he could say the second word, Oz covered his mouth.

Ozzy lowered his head, leaned into his ear, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Don't wake it up."

Wen Qing nodded nervously.

Oz lowered his eyes, his night vision was excellent, and he could clearly see Wen Qing's appearance.

His face was very small, he just wanted to cover his mouth, but he directly covered most of his face. The palm of his hand was his nervous breathing, warm, moist, and itchy.

Oz moved his fingertips slightly, stroking the soft and delicate skin.

When people are in the dark, other senses are magnified.

Wen Qing felt Oz's movements, he raised his eyes blankly, and looked at Oz's face vaguely.

Oz stared into his eyes, and it was obvious that Wen Qing's night vision was not good, and his pupils were a little out of focus.

His eyes were wide open, his eyelashes wet with tears.

It looks... well done.

Ozzy's throat moved slightly, sniffing the fragrance on his body, he directly picked up the man and walked out.

Wen Qing hung her body in the air and instinctively opened her mouth. After thinking of Oz's words, she quickly swallowed the cry and grabbed Oz's clothes with both hands.

Ozzy walked like a feline without making any sound.

Wen Qing did not struggle and lay quietly in Oz's arms.

In the darkness, he could only hear the sound of his beating heart.

After an unknown amount of time, a ray of light finally appeared in front of Wen Qing's eyes.

An uphill path.

He thought it was the exit, but it wasn't until Oz walked up to it that he realized that this place was the vine's true nest.

All kinds of luminous stones and beads were embedded on the wall, as if the lights were turned on. Wen Qing could clearly see the dense layers of vines covering the walls and the ground, reflecting the light green, so green people.

Oz stopped suddenly.

Wen Qing tilted her head, her face changed.

There was a person lying in the center of the vine, Ji Junfeng. He was wearing the black robe of the high priest. His androgynous face was covered with complex and strange patterns of pale cyan. These lines seemed to be alive, and they moved slowly on Ji Junfeng's face. Move slowly to the neck.

As soon as the lines moved, the vines under Ji Junfeng also began to move.

From Wen Qing's point of view, several slender vines could be seen coming out of Ji Junfeng's body and into other vines.

Wen Qing was so scared that her hands and feet were stiff and her back was chilled.

Bai Tong's analysis is correct.

Ji Junfeng and the high priest are one person, no, they are one vine.

There is an explanation for what happened before.

Ji Junfeng doesn't need to eat human food, and he doesn't need to go to the cafeteria.

The strange sound heard in the bedroom was the sound of vines moving.

...

Wen Qing held her breath, for fear that her rapid breathing would wake it up.

He unconsciously hooked Oz's clothes with his fingers, and asked the system stutteringly in his heart: [Secret, secret is that Ji Junfeng is the high priest, is he the vine monster? 】

001 still did not respond.

Wen Qing opened her eyes blankly, why wasn't it right?
