In the world of strange rules, abstract and complex, [infinite]

Behind the Yuliang Middle School's sports ground was a bicycle tent. Normally, the senior high school students would leave their bicycles here if they drove, but today was Saturday, and none of the senior high school students were there, so the bicycle tent became a remote place with few people.

Ho Y Quyen and six people immediately occupied a bicycle tent as a meeting place, and arranged some information on the top.

The first news outside is the student procedure and female pajama counter paper, these two items are all part of the rule strange chat "rules", is the most crucial clue, but these two rules exist a lot of conflict points, the six individuals choose props are all different, in the rule verification aspect there are only 3 chances, last night verified once after there are still two remaining. Under the premise of not being sure whether the school still has other rules or not, they do not dare to use it carelessly.

Next, it's not so obvious the clue comes from the mobile itself.

On Hu Yijuan's WeChat, "Lu Di" is the top contact person. Through her memories, Hu Yijuan knows that they are classmates from the two junior high schools. Through their chat history, Hu Yijuan found the current principal, "Black History".

But the cause of the female ghost's death and Principal Liao Jun's strict discipline have nothing to do with it, just based on the current clues, we can't make any hasty conclusions. Because the Rule Realm is a pit, some things might be for misleading players, so we must make such a blind judgment and absolutely cannot take them.

The six individuals thus focused their discussion on "Lu Di" and the "Principal". For the time being, they couldn't think of any breakthrough that could investigate the principal, so they began to wonder whether they should go and see this "Lu Di" first.

The big guys unanimously agreed that if "Lu Di" was an NPC, he would definitely have the most important role; if he was a player, they would come together to investigate the truth. If he was a master, it would be good. If he was too weak, they would think of a way to kill him to exchange for props or points.

They made up their mind, Hu Yi Juan immediately sent a message to "Lu Di": "Di Di, are you busy today? See you after lunch? I have something to say to you."

.

416 bedroom, Yang Ge received Hu Yijuan's news and immediately told his teammates to listen, Xiao Leng slightly paused: "You can agree to her, tell her you're free now, ask her where she is, then we'll go together."

Duong Ca hesitated a bit: "Is it appropriate to go together? What if the NPC wants to send out a mission, seeing that there are too many people, can we not let them in?"

Tieu Lang said: "If it's this kind of situation, we might as well leave."

Yang Ge thought about it and it was right, so he pressed Xiao Leng's meaning to reply to Hu Yijuan. Hu Yijuan's side also responded very quickly, directly telling Yang Ge to go to the cold training platform behind the bicycle tent to meet. The four people went out together, Ye Xi's thoughts were still revolving around the current clues that seemed to be scattered.

She followed the last person down the stairs. At this time, there weren't many people in the dormitory. From the fourth floor to the first floor, she hadn't met any other classmates. Seeing that she was about to leave the building, Ye Xi suddenly caught a trace of movement: "Woo woo woo..."

She suddenly stopped walking, followed closely by a sound similar to applause: Bang!

These two completely unrelated sounds rang out at the same time, and Ye Xi immediately made an association, feeling that the "female ghost" might have been slapped and was crying?

School tyranny? Still using corporal punishment?

She paused, caught up with her teammates and continued walking forward. Xiao Leng noticed something unusual, his steps slowed down, and he unconsciously walked side by side with Ye Xi: "What are you thinking about?" He asked.

Ye Xi said in a low voice: "I heard the female ghost moving again, besides crying, there was also a kind of pounding sound… Do you think this dungeon could be a story about a school tyrant or a teacher physically punishing a student?"

"Possible." Tieu Lanh nodded.

Diep Tich said again: "I'm still thinking about something else."

"What exactly is this dungeon clearance method? Is it really to wait until the end of the college entrance exam? But if that's the case, why arrange these clues that clearly require disclosure?"

The current progress and their original detective rule of "College entrance exam after the end of the sect = the end of the instance" thinking is clearly not the same. If this is a fixed instance when growing up, the main purpose of the participants is "survival", then the instance should increase the level of terror, forcing the player to collapse, only then will it be possible to collect more heads before the countdown ends.

But now the messy clues make this copy look more like a spoiler.

Xiao Leng smiled indifferently: "I also thought about this problem. I feel that 'after the college entrance exam ends' is probably not the time when the dungeon ends, but the 'death line'."

If it is "Death Line", then the main point is still the revelation, but the final revelation deadline is the end of the college entrance exam. If the truth cannot be revealed before this, then the instance will end and the player group will be destroyed.

Diep Tich expressed his approval: "I feel like this is more appropriate."

While talking, Yang Ca, who was walking in front, had already circled around the cold training platform. Ye Xi, who was following behind, raised his head to look and glanced at the six-person bicycle tent.

When her eyes met Wang Xiao's, she couldn't help but be stunned, but she didn't show any emotion on the spot, her expression as usual as she followed Yang Ge closer.

Duong Ca smiled kindly and harmlessly and asked: "Quyen Quyen, what's the matter?"

Ho Y Quyen looked at the four people and asked straight to the point: "Are you guys also players?"

If it is an NPC, there is no need to make friends like this. But players set up defenses against players, under the premise of having teammates, most will not go alone to meet other real or imaginary players.

Seeing her ask so directly, Duong Ca did not hide anything and generously nodded: "That's right."

Hu Yijuan and the others felt a bit regretful, because "Lu Di" herself had teammates, so they couldn't pull her into their group, killing people and stealing props would also be difficult and would also greatly improve. However, there were also advantages - if the other side was also a small team fighting, then they would definitely be able to analyze quite a few useful clues.

Ho Y Quyen therefore said frankly: "Exchange clues?"

"Let's do it." Yang Ge generously agreed, turned his head to look at Xiao Leng for his opinion, and seeing Xiao Leng nod, Yang Ge took the lead and said, "We just discovered that Hong Hu Tower was built in 1992, abandoned in 1994, and on the verge of collapse in 2023. It's clearly not normal, so we initially suspect that this dungeon is related to the tofu project."

Ho Y Quyen's eyes lit up.

The situation of Hong Hu Tower's fall was indeed something they did not know at first, so they did not consider the "Tofu Dregs Project" issue too much.

She therefore immediately said what she thought was the most important news: "I scrolled through our chat history, the current principal..."

"The current principal was transferred from Provincial First High School, because a student from Provincial First High School jumped off a building, we already know this." Yang Ge promptly took over the investigation, proving that he indeed knew this point, signaling Hu Yijuan to change to something else.

"..." Hu Yijuan thought for a moment, and could only say, "Last night we verified that the student procedure submission 8 was a fake rule."

Rule 8: High school prohibits night travel from 22:00 to 06:00, at this time students are prohibited from leaving the dormitory.

Yang Ge paused to consider for a moment, then asked seriously: "Is it a time-limited situation, or is it a ban on leaving the dormitory?"

"I don't know." Hu Yijuan sighed, "The props we have in our hands, [Fake Weapon], don't have such exquisite functions, but we feel that it should be forbidden to leave the dormitory…"

Yang Ge subjectively judged that it was also like this, so he nodded, briefly not mentioning it, and asked them again: "Are there more clues that can be exchanged?"

"... No longer." Hu Yijuan felt a little embarrassed, then realized that these words seemed to mean that the other party had more discoveries, and immediately felt heartbroken that he did not continue to exchange capital.

Duong Ca stretched out her hand, Diep Tich pinched Tieu Lanh's wrist, Tieu Lanh lowered his eyes to look at her, she pointed at the other person, silently moving her mouth: "545426?"

Tieu Lang pondered for two seconds, then opened his mouth: "We can give you one more clue."

Ho Y Quyen quickly asked: "What!"

Xiao Leng said: "Our mobile phone screen lock password is 545426, no surprises, yours will be the same, there must be a reason behind this number."

The words had only just been said halfway when Ye Xi saw the expressions of all six individuals stiffen. It was not hard to see that their passwords were indeed this number, but they had not discussed it with each other before, thinking it was just their own password.

Xiao Leng finished speaking and politely said: "There is nothing else to say, we will not disturb you for now, if there is any problem, please contact us via WeChat at any time."

"... Okay." Although Hu Yi Quan still wanted to pretend to give some information, he could see that the other party's level was different, and he absolutely could not be easily tricked into saying anything, so he had to give up.

The four of them left the bicycle tent and headed towards the teaching area. They had lunch before their last class, and it was almost time.

After walking for three minutes, Diep Tich cautiously turned his head to look around, confirmed that the six individuals were not around, then told everyone: "On Ho Y Quyen's side, there is a male student who was contaminated."

"Ah?!" Duong Ca turned his head in surprise, "How did you know?!"

"This selection is a prop to distinguish the contaminated person, there are two chances, automatically activated." Ye Xi sighed, "Just now when we walked to the vicinity of the tent, the prop was activated, marking the head of that tall and thin, slightly dark skinned, bespectacled male student."

She did not remember the boy's name, so she could only describe his appearance.

He continued: "I don't know whether I should tell them directly or not, because they won't dare say anything."

"Oh..." Yang Ge nodded in understanding, turning to Xiao Leng, "What do you mean? Shouldn't it be a question?"

"Yes, you tell Hu Yi Quyen." Tieu Lanh didn't need to think.

The weird talkers were suspicious of each other. They couldn't completely trust the other participants, especially those who had formed a team themselves. It was very likely that they had connections in the real world. Whether it was good or bad was hard to say, so they had held back on the clue issue just now.

But they still shoulder the responsibility of protecting the masses to the fullest extent, and the other party's team should be grateful for the dangerous situation caused by the contaminated person.

But whether the other party believes it or not is none of their business.

Yang Ge walked to a place with no one around and immediately took out his cell phone to send a message to Hu Yijuan: "Are your teammates with you? Can you not let them see your cell phone first?"

After receiving a positive response, she simply and clearly summarized the matter of Wang Xiao being contaminated to the other party. Hu Yijuan showed a shocked expression and said that she would communicate with her teammates, but did not say anything else.

.

The last class before lunch in high school (1) was chemistry. Chemistry was the weakest class in this world for "Lin Xue". In Ye Xi's memory, "her" chemistry class was always very easy to get distracted.

So at this moment, she was absent-minded but still walked very smoothly. In less than ten minutes of class, her attention had already run to the strange discussion rules. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that at this moment, the logic seemed to be a bit inappropriate.

... Of course, if we were to be serious, this entire instance was obviously "inappropriate", the clues in their hands were all in disarray, completely insufficient to solve the puzzle.

But she still felt that they had missed something, not the kind of thing that they tried hard to find but temporarily couldn't find any clues, but something that had been overlooked from the start.

What is it?

Diep Tich couldn't think of an answer. It felt like there was a key piece of information constantly swirling around in her mind, but it always passed by like fireworks in an instant. Every time she thought of reaching out to catch it, it would disappear without a trace.

That day, in the afternoon, class 1 had three classes again. The four of them were observing the teachers and classmates. Occasionally, they also probed the NPCs' mouths, trying to gather new information, but the effect was extremely small, almost non-existent.

After dinner, there was nothing much, so Ye Xi Yang Ge and Xiao Leng returned to the boys' dormitory together. The conditions at Yu Liang High School were not bad, each dormitory had its own bathroom, they did not need to go to the public area to walk around, just in time to avoid letting the other boys know that two girls had mixed in.

The bedding in the dormitory was all provided by the school. Because the two roommates were not there, Ye Xi Yang Ge slept on their bed and did not have to wrong anyone to sleep on the floor.

After everything was properly collected, the four people sat around on the ground, put the two rules and other clues together, and prepared to use the tools.

The deadline is tonight, they have been in the dungeon for a day and a half, although they have gained some clues, but the progress everyone feels is a bit confusing.

In the 17th chapter of experience summary, the team's combat tools can be discussed and used, and there is a principle of "If you can stay calm, stay calm", but when stuck, you must use tools, you cannot be helpless and stay awake at the same time, otherwise when the team is destroyed, you will not have the chance to regret it.

The four people reported their props once. Zhang Liping first used the [Fake Attack Weapon (Level 3)] to distinguish between real and fake rules. He had already used it once, and there were also two opportunities to actively use it and two opportunities to passively use it.

Diep Tich [Prophet (level 2)], is passively activated, currently used up once, has one left, in addition there is also Mr. Mao Tu's pendant, also has a chance to use it once.

Xiao Leng, in addition to the one-time consumable [Refined Spray], chose [Native Shield (Level 1)]. This was a defensive item that could block damage when the player was being plotted against by the natives. It was effective in blocking damage, whether it was direct damage or indirect damage. Moreover, it had the same protective effect on the "teammates" the props holder received.

The reason he chose this equipment was because he felt that there were too many people in the theme park, and there were probably a lot of natives as well. It was difficult for them to defend themselves thoroughly based on their vigilance alone. This equipment could protect everyone.

... Unfortunately, until now, it seems like we have not seen any native people.

As for Yang Ge, he used the strange rule of the Xingyue apartment, [Maker], after using [Maker], he would manifest a rule. If this rule is real, it is equivalent to giving a rule.

Currently, the [Maker] has been promoted to level 3 by Duong Ca, there are 3 opportunities to use, very likely to directly turn the stalemate situation into a turning point.

Simply put, they currently have two direct-action props that can deal with the booster version, respectively [Imitation Weapon (Level 3)] and [Implication Tool (Level 3)],

Using the props, the decision-making power was given to the captain Xiao Leng. Xiao Leng made Zhang Liping use [Imitation Weapon (Level 3)] to verify the female inmate's note and submit 3 items, then made Yang Ge use [Implication (Level 3)] to increase the clues in the student procedures.

Female soaked paper 3: Seeing the old-fashioned well wanting to ignore and leave is deceiving you, the old-fashioned well does not exist any danger.

This rule and the old-fashioned student procedure hinting at the dangers of well water number 6 are completely duplicated, two of which must have one as a cause.

Zhang Liping used the props to quickly give the answer: "This is real."

In other words, the old-fashioned well water is not really dangerous.

Duong Ca on the other side also quickly said: "Yes, yes..."

After speaking, she picked up the rule page and recited the rule that only she could see: "10. The college entrance exam is coming up, please try your best not to ask for leave. All requests for leave will be recorded by the homeroom teacher and will also be verified with the parents."

"Ask for leave?" Ye Xi was startled for a moment, looked at his teammates and said, "This means, tomorrow we want to go find the class leader to check the situation of the class taking leave?"

This kind of thing, will the homeroom teacher show it to the students?

Tieu Lang lightly said: "Leave it to me, I'll go see."

.

It was night, the porch also did not have any more torturers, everyone fell asleep really quickly.

Together with Ho Y Quyen and Tran Dong Hac group, went upstairs to the bathroom in the middle of the night, half-asleep pushed the door open, thinking of a quick victory, too lazy to even turn on the light.

After finishing he went to the lake to wash his hands, he couldn't open his eyes, he washed and yawned continuously.

Suddenly a thought flashed, he discovered something in the mirror looking at him, in a panic he didn't have time to think much and immediately raised his head, just in a moment, he felt all the hairs on his body stand up.

—— the dark image reflected in the mirror was not his own face, but a shadow.

That silhouette was invisible, it didn't matter, there was only a pitch black figure, but through that figure he could also see that the other person's hair was very long, messy and disheveled... He couldn't help but mentally add that all that hair was draped over the front.

Then, that silhouette began to stretch inch by inch, from its original height that was slightly shorter than him, it gradually reached the frame of the glass surface, and without saying anything, it stretched out from the side of the glass surface, extending to the ceiling.

At the same time, Tran Dong Hac smelled a strong stench.

"Ah ——" he finally screamed miserably and fell into the bathroom. Being dragged along, his teammates Wang Xiao and Deng Wei were awakened. Deng Wei lifted the blanket: "What happened?!"

"Ghost..." Tran Dong Hac shivered and pointed at the bathroom, his eyes wide open with fear.

Dang Vi stopped breathing, mustering up the courage to look in the direction of the bathroom, but didn't see anything.

He therefore went forward and pressed the bathroom light switch, the small space was immediately lit up by the incandescent light, leaving no blind spots.

In the bathroom there is only a toilet, a basin, a shower, a towel rack, nothing unusual.

Wang Xiao frowned in dissatisfaction: "You scared yourself?"

"No, it's not..." Tran Dong Hac stammered as he explained, "I really think..."

Dang Vi stepped forward to help Tran Dong Hac up, while glancing at Vuong Hieu.

In the entire team, the closest person to Hu Yijuan was Deng Wei. Today, Hu Yijuan heard from Lu Di that Wang Xiao was contaminated, but couldn't tell the truth, so he only told Deng Wei.

Dang Wei was momentarily at a loss as to what to do. In the rules of the game, everyone was on guard against other players. For this kind of thing, if the other party was really kind enough to report it, it would be fine, but what if the other party was plotting against them, a bad luck or chaos person? Or what if they were a local?

Regardless of whether it was Hu Yi Juan or Deng Wei, neither dared to believe it easily.

These two people in the end did not dare to directly report this to the other teammates. Dang Vi told Ho Y Quyen that he would pay close attention. If he confirmed that Vuong Hieu really had a problem, he would tell Ho Y Quyen.

Right now, Wang Xiao's actions made Deng Wei feel that he really had a problem.

These two days everyone was in a "ghostly" state, even if they were woken up with gas, they shouldn't feel that Tran Dong Hac was scaring them.

Dang Vi helped the trembling Tran Dong Hac onto the bed, and returned to the main hall. He took out his phone and told Hu Yi Quan via WeChat: "Wang Xiao is not very suitable. What those players said might be true."

.

The next day was Sunday, as usual a very light day. The first period of class 3 (1) of the third grade had no classes, but after the four of them finished breakfast, they still went to the teaching area together. Xiao Leng did not go to the teacher, but leisurely knocked on the office next door.

There are five teachers in this office, all of whom are third-year homeroom teachers. There are three people in the office right now, including class one homeroom teacher Li Xiang.

"Teacher Li." Xiao Leng walked to her desk and stopped, "Director He asked me to ask you about the attendance sheet, he said he wanted to see it."

Ha is the school's head of education.

Tieu Lang borrowed the tiger's prestige to the point of not changing his expression but not jumping in his heart.

The class monitor said to him without any doubt, pulled out the drawer and took out the attendance sheet that was given to him, Tieu Lanh said "Thank you teacher" and left, and habitually closed the door behind him.

Passing by the stairs, three teammates peeked out from under the stairs. Xiao Leng turned around and joined them, opening the timesheet.

Just after turning a few pages, they had an unexpected harvest.

22 years 10 month 8 day to 10 month 20 day, all four of them asked for sick leave. Before 10 month 1 day to 10 month 7 day is national day statutory holiday, in other words they are very likely to have encountered some problem together during the holiday, but maybe earlier, happened before the holiday.

Diep Tich raised doubts: "Could the sick leave be fake? Could it be that these four people thought they were going to do something together, so they used the excuse of being sick to ask for leave?"

While talking, Tieu Lanh flipped through a piece of paper in his hand, inside were several doctor's notes.

The doctor's note was written by the head of the family and signed by the head of the family. Under the head of the family's signature, the homeroom teacher wrote "Verified" and signed by the homeroom teacher.

In other words, this leave of absence form should be fine, at least it's not something they can imitate the patriarch's handwriting to do.

What kind of situation would four people get sick at the same time?

Tieu Lang paused to think, then said to Duong Ca: "Send a message to Ho Y Quyen, asking her to check her teammates' attendance records for the first semester."

He wanted to see if those six people who were there at the same time also got sick together.

These words fell into Diep Tich's ears, she felt like she was hit, lightning and sparks flashed in her mind.

—— she knew why she always felt like she was missing something!:,,.
