"...Xu Furan?"

In the office on the third floor, the deputy squad leader looked at her puzzled: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the thermos?"

Xu Tuoran: "..."

No, I don't think it might be an issue with the thermos.

She thought for a while, then took out the thermos cup filled with blood, put it on the side, turned her head to meet the bewildered eyes of the assistant class, and carefully considered her words.

"Vice monitor, come here, I'll show you something good."

Subclass: "...??"

"No, must it be now? The situation is urgent now..."

"Please believe me, this matter is very important." Xu Tuoran said seriously, and took out a silver square box from his schoolbag as quickly as possible.

"Let me introduce, this is the pen of the pen fairy. I also bought it from the old man Jiang's shop. It is omniscient. It can read and answer things that have nothing to do with you. Come on, you can try to ask one first."

Vice monitor: "..."

She looked at Xu Tuoran speechlessly, apparently not understanding why she would change the subject at this time. She instinctively wanted to urge to continue, but met Xu Tuoran's serious gaze, and silently swallowed her voice.

Maybe... there is really a reason? She actually noticed something, but couldn't tell herself directly...

With a flash of thought, the deputy squad leader finally suppressed his anxiety and turned his gaze to the red pen.

As if aware of her gaze, the pen floated straight up, took off the cap and put it behind his back, and wrote in the air in a chic manner, leaving smooth cursive handwriting.

[Come on, foolish people. Submit your narrow questions. If I'm in a good mood, maybe I can reluctantly answer one or two for you. 】

Xu Turan: ...

Calm down, calm down, it's a giveaway, it's a giveaway.

It also works. It also works.

She raised her hand to caress her forehead, secretly regretting that she didn't bring two high-level mathematics notebooks with her when she went out. Just as he was about to reprimand him, the deputy class on the opposite side already said with a confused look on his face:

"Although I don't understand it very well... But now it's fine to ask something casually, right?"

"So...the hundredth place of pi?"

The deputy class tried to speak.

I don't know if it was her illusion, but after she said this, there was a strange silence in the room.

In the next second, I saw the pen turned in the air, and started to write vigorously at Xu Tuoran, the handwriting was so scrawled that it seemed to fly:

[No, what's going on with this Ai? Do you understand the rules? Is it amazing to have taught math? 】

【Didn't you know to read the instruction manual before using it for her? unacceptable! Why should I be wronged? Is this plausible? 】

Xu Tuoran: "..."

"Shut up, beep beep again and I'll paste Fang Xing's paper on you!"

She whispered, shaking the silver box in her hand threateningly, the momentum of the pen in the air suddenly weakened, silently dropped a little, and reluctantly wrote small characters: [Really want to answer? I suspect you won't last until I finish counting. 】

"..." Xu Furan closed his eyes restrainedly, and looked at the deputy monitor again: "Excuse me, deputy class, this pen is not very good at mathematics. But it is indeed omniscient, and its level is not low..."

"I can see it." The deputy class looked at the pen in the sky, thoughtfully, "I didn't tell you that when I was a teacher, I taught mathematics."

She thought for a while in her eyes, and her expression became serious: "So? What do you want to tell me through it?"

Seeing that the deputy class had accepted the setting, Xu Tuoran stopped turning around and turned to look at the rule paper on the wall.

"The pen of the pen fairy, answer me. Are all the contents on the rule paper written by humans?"

The pen of the pen fairy paused for two seconds in the air, and slowly wrote down the answer: [Yes. 】

Xu Turan: ...

? This is different from what I thought.

Seeing that the deputy class's expression was subtle again, she hurriedly asked: [Ask you again, is the content on this rule sheet really beneficial to us? 】

The pen of the pen fairy moved again, leaving a new handwriting in the air: [No. 】

Xu Tuoran: "Those contents are not good for us?"

Pen Fairy's Brush: [Articles 5, 6, and 7. 】

…really.

Xu Tuoran exhaled slowly, turned to look at the deputy squad leader: "This is what I want to tell you."

"..."

The deputy class did not speak. Frowning, I don't know what to think.

"I know this is hard for you to believe. But this will not lie. If you don't believe me, you can try again." Seeing this, Xu Furan hastily added, "And...and I tell you the truth, I have a beast Tendency, I have a strong premonition of danger. When I put the cup just now, I obviously felt that something was wrong, so I took out the pen of the pen fairy to verify..."

"I... I don't believe you. Of course, I don't believe it all. We can put this matter aside for now." The deputy class said, his eyes darkened, and his brows frowned even tighter.

"I just noticed another thing."

Xu Tuoran: "...?"

"Your pen said that rule five and sixty-seven on the rule paper cannot be trusted." The deputy class turned to the rule paper, "but there are only six rules on that paper."

"Assuming it didn't lie... then where did the seventh clause come from?"

"True, true, false, true, false, false, true."

At the same time, in another office on the third floor.

Yang Buqi quickly scanned the few words handed over by the health commissioner, nodded a few times without thinking, and judged the truth and falsehood like lightning. Looking up at the surprised gaze of the health committee member, a little helplessness surged in my heart.

"Should you trust me now?" Yang Buqi said seriously, "There is really something wrong with the content on that rule paper."

"..." The health commissioner was silent for a moment, and scratched at his hair, which was not much left, "Frankly speaking, I really can't say this...I don't think you have to lie, but this rule paper is indeed a long time ago It's here. It was there before the accident happened, and now you suddenly say that it has a problem... Aunt Yang, are you sure you are awake now?"

Although, Dalang.

Yang Buqi pursed his lips, and silently moved the thermos further away from the health committee member.

"I'm not saying there's a problem with it, I'm saying there's a problem with the last two of them." Yang Buqi emphasized again, "Article 6 says 'can save your life' is a lie. And these two are linked together Yes, that's why I judged that they are unreliable... By the way, don't you find it strange?"

Yang Buqi raised the thermos cup: "First donate blood, and then draw patterns. Isn't this kind of process more like a ritual of summoning evil things than the self-protection measures of capable people?"

"And do you still remember what you said at the beginning? You said that this building was captured by it a long time ago. But if this is the case, why are there so many 'safe areas' on the third floor?"

Yang Buqi put the cup away, with a serious tone: "Teacher Tie Zhu, I have also done observation missions before, and I have also been to other 'boxes'. There are places in the box that are completely occupied by evil things, which is normal. There are safe self-rescue points in the area, which is normal. But like this, an entire floor of offices in a high-risk area is considered a safe area—I have never seen it before.”

"Teacher Tie Zhu, you asked me if I was awake. I also want to ask you now, are you sure your current memory is completely correct?"

"..."

The health commissioner fell silent. He took a deep look at Yang Buqi, leaned on the desk, and frowned, as if he was experiencing a strong inner struggle.

Yang Buqi is not in a hurry. Anyway, the thermos cup is in his hands now, and they haven't performed the ceremony yet—so far, everything is under control.

But this matter itself, he had to make it clear to the health committee. If he guessed right, the ability users on the Zhixue building should have been more or less deceived, and their memory has gone wrong... How long have they been acting according to this rule paper? Has something bad happened?

These things are more frightening to ponder than the current crisis.

The health committee member on the opposite side obviously also thought of this, and his face gradually became ugly.

"We have to go out and take a look." He gave Yang Buqi a solemn look, "If it is true as you said, the purpose of this rule paper is to trick us into performing the ceremony, then the scene outside may be very different from what we imagined. Different…"

As he spoke, he turned to the door vigilantly and stepped forward quickly. After pressing the doorknob twice, his expression changed again.

Yang Buqi sensed something was wrong, straightened up: "What's wrong?"

"...the door can't be opened." The health commissioner's throat rolled, and he pushed the door harder a few times. The doorknob was turned rattling, but the door did not move at all.

Now, even if you don't want to admit that there is a problem with this "safety zone", it's okay.

The health commissioner and Yang Buqi looked at each other, and just about to say something, suddenly heard Yang Buqi cry out in pain, and fell to the ground, covering his face with one hand, with blood overflowing between his fingers. The health commissioner was startled, and hurried forward to help him up, moved his hand away and looked, his face turned pale with shock.

Yang Buqi's eyes were closed tightly, and two lines of blood were gurgling down his eye sockets, dripping on the floor, which was shocking.

The health commissioner was so startled that he couldn't speak for a while, but Yang Buqi quickly regained his composure, groped and patted his hand: "It's okay... just help me sit down, give me some time, I can heal myself …I have a life orientation…”

The health commissioner hurriedly responded, helped him to sit on the chair next to the desk, and was still in shock: "What's wrong with you?"

"I don't know. Just now I saw a man faintly, poking me in the eyes..." Yang Buqi felt aggrieved. He could probably guess that it was probably the forger of the rule paper. This is revenge for exposing the falsehood...

I have never seen such an unbearable and arrogant thing!

He sat in a chair, covered his eyes with his hands, and began the rapid treatment. During the treatment, I asked the health committee member about the surrounding situation from time to time. After asking, I suddenly heard the health committee member whisper "I'm going to die".

Yang Buqi's heart tightened, and he immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

"The rule paper has been updated again." The health commissioner's voice came over dryly, "It added a seventh rule..."

— [7. Please act strictly in accordance with Articles 5 and 6 of this guide. 】

—[Those who refuse to execute will be permanently deprived of the qualification to leave here. 】

... Gan.

In another office.

Xu Tuoran looked at the new content on the rules paper and took a deep breath.

"Okay. It seems that guy doesn't even want to pretend now." She crossed her arms and looked thoughtful. The deputy class at the side was pacing back and forth in the room, biting his nails unconsciously:

"We just said to put this matter on hold, and it immediately updated this one. Could it be that the writer of the rule paper has been secretly observing us?"

"It's possible. But I don't think this is a temporary addition." Xu Tuoran clicked on the silver square box on the table, "This pen can only read what has happened, it cannot be predicted."

It is impossible to predict the future, so this rule should have existed from the beginning, but it has not met the conditions for its appearance, so it has been hidden.

"...Well." The deputy squad leader thought for a while, nodded in agreement, and then looked at the silver box in Xu Tuoran's hand, "Your pen..."

"It's okay, it's just a matter of nature. Don't worry about it." Xu Tuoran shrugged and carefully put the silver box into his bag.

Speaking of this, she was also angry and funny. Not long ago, before the seventh rule appeared, the pen floating in the air suddenly seemed to be lit by its tail, flying around in the air, spraying ink and blowing hair all over. Following him, he rushed back into the silver box, still bouncing and flapping inside, urging Xu Tuoran to help it close the lid.

Xu Turan didn't understand, so he closed the lid, and the pen stopped completely.

…I don’t know what it saw, and it scared itself into such a state—afterwards, Xu Tuoran tried to open the box, but every time he opened it a little, he would be closed from the inside. It seemed that he had made up his mind to play dead.

Xu Tuoran exhaled, withdrew his thoughts, and turned to continue studying the updated rule paper.

Obviously, the newly appeared seventh rule confirmed her statement, but there were more and more doubts in her mind.

What is the function of this ceremony? Why does it force them to do this ritual? Just now, the fairy pen said that the content on this rule paper was written by "human beings"... What does this mean?

Xu Tuoran was puzzled, and after a while, he dropped the rule paper to study the locked gate.

She took out the mineral water, froze a thin ice pick, and started poking at the door lock. Remembering that the deputy said that some people came to clean and never came back alive, she asked a question.

"...Well, this kind of thing happened more often in the first month." The voice of the deputy class came from behind her, his tone was heavy and somewhat depressing, "At that time, we hadn't had time to grab the position of the class committee, it was very difficult. Take care of the ordinary students who are sent over. If the two students on duty are ordinary people, only one will come back in the end..."

"Those ordinary students, do they know that they have to run this way?" Xu Tuoran asked.

"I know. Before they come over, we always try our best to mention...God." The voice of the deputy class paused, "If that ceremony is really for the big Sophora japonica itself...then we must have done a lot of evil .”

"Well... don't be too pessimistic, it's not necessarily true." Xu Tuoran, who was thinking about unlocking the lock, paused and tried to comfort him, "Let me ask one more question. Then you guys hid here before, and you will honestly carry out that Is it a ritual? What will happen after the execution?"

"Not every time. Sometimes I feel that the situation is not serious, and I may just hide for a while. After all, the teachers are companion creatures, and they have injuries, which will attract unnecessary attention."

The voice of the deputy class at the back paused, and said again: "As for the completion of the ceremony... basically every time the ceremony is completed, there will be a lot of movement outside. There are crazy knocks on the door, and there are upstairs and downstairs, and the door is knocked open. The sound, and the huge sense of oppression, fear..."

"Wait for a while, wait until it's quiet before going out, and everything will be gone."

Now that I think about it, the hint is actually pretty obvious. Vigorous movement only occurs after performing the ritual. It's just that they were all preconceived at the time, and they accepted the wrong causal connection, so that they didn't see it.

"…Oh."

Xu Tueran put down the broken ice pick, and the corners of his mouth tightly pursed.

Sure enough, just as she guessed... Now they are locked here, not because they did not perform the ceremony, but because they saw through the problem of the rule paper. The people behind the scenes found out about this, so they stopped them.

And if you follow this line of thought down, it might not even intend to let them leave alive. It's all a lie to say that you can leave after performing the ceremony—of course, even if it wasn't, Xu Tuoran didn't plan to obey obediently.

But if this is the case, you have to think about other ways. The key is that I don't know where its body is now, otherwise I try to control it directly, maybe I can escape...

Xu Tuoran's eyes turned, his gaze unconsciously passed over the door panel in front of him, and his expression suddenly froze.

The office uses a security door, the door panel is clean and smooth, and can faintly reflect some light and shadow.

But at this moment, the door panel in front of Xu Tueran vaguely reflected the scene behind her—the assistant shift who was standing by the desk had arrived behind her at some point, with a sharp knife in his hand, He held it high against her back.

She was silent for a moment, then stood up and turned her head, looking calmly at the deputy squad leader who was holding a knife behind her.

Xu Tuoran: "..."

Vice monitor: "?"

"Deputy squad leader." After looking at each other for a while, Xu Tuoran kindly reminded, "Do you know what you are holding in your hand?"

The deputy squad leader looked at her inexplicably, and then looked at the things in his hand: "What's wrong with my mobile phone?"

After all, now that she has obtained new information, she is afraid that if she really dies here, she is thinking of leaving a record on her mobile phone, maybe she will be seen by other companions...

In the end, halfway through typing on the phone, Xu Tuoran suddenly got up and looked at her, his eyes were calm and tolerant, as if he was looking at a mental patient who was suffering from an illness without knowing it, and she was so confused that she was confused.

But Xu Tuoran's question instantly made her feel wrong: "What do you think I got?"

"A knife..." Xu Tuoran frowned. She originally thought that it was the deputy squad leader who had a cognitive problem, but hearing her tone...

Xu Turan thought about it for a while, then skillfully slapped himself on the face, and then looked at the deputy squad leader in front of him, he was indeed holding a mobile phone.

The case was solved, and it was myself who was sick.

Xu Tuoran shook his head, and smiled apologetically at the deputy class: "Sorry, I just had hallucinations...Squad leader? Deputy squad leader?"

Noticing that the other person's eyes fell on the floor beside his feet for some reason, Xu Turan followed him in puzzlement: "What's the matter? Is there anything over there?"

"..."

The deputy squad leader lowered his eyes, and it took him a while to force himself to look away from the head that fell to the ground, and to look at the headless torso in front of him as calmly as possible: "It's nothing, but I should come out too." hallucination."

Xu Tuoran: "?"

"I saw you slap yourself in the face, and then your head fell off... Hey, don't go that way, don't! You're going to step on your head—ah, you're going to explode."

The deputy squad leader closed his eyes forbearance, and slapped himself. He opened his eyes to look at the situation, and couldn't help but give himself another shot.

Xu Tuoran: "..."

"I see. I see." She patted her head, "It wants to use hallucinations to threaten us to complete the ceremony."

"...Well." The deputy class covered his mouth, resisted the urge to retch, took out a business card, and held it tightly in his palm, "This is its old trick... Do you have your own anchor?"

"Not yet." Xu Tuoran scratched his cheek, turned around and cut his fingers, and smeared defensive runes on the wall.

better than nothing.

After painting the defensive runes, Xu Tuoran thought about it, and added other ones later.

"... Yours is a sleep rune, right?" The deputy squad leader observed carefully for a while, thoughtfully, "What do you want to do?"

"Sleep quietly first." Xu Tuoran said quietly, "Doesn't it just want to annoy us? Then annihilate it."

Anyway, it is not easy to be hungry in the field, and they all carry compressed biscuits and water with them. Students cannot kill each other. In other words, despite the lingering hallucinations in the room, they were actually quite safe.

"And relying on hallucinations to do things, this also proves that it can't directly hurt us." Xu Tuoran wiped the last stroke and wiped his hands carefully, "That's even more true."

The deputy squad leader looked at the "headless torso" in front of him with a complicated expression, and pondered: "But, if we don't return at night, it will be considered a violation of school rules..."

"If you violate the school rules, you will be punished. The premise of being punished is that we must be caught first." Xu Tuoran turned his head halfway, "If I remember correctly, the teacher who judged the violation of the school rules has to be punished by that teacher .In other words, if we don’t come home at night, the only one who can punish us is the dormitory supervisor.”

The best situation is that the housekeeper comes to take them away in order to punish them-and a housekeeper is better than "it".

Anyway, it only stipulates that students cannot kill each other, but it does not stipulate that students cannot deceive their teachers and destroy their ancestors.

The worst situation is that the hostess gives up on punishing them and simply doesn't come to look for them. Then he had to think of another way—Xu Tuoran's idea was that if it couldn't work, he would still perform the ceremony. Summon the body of the evil thing, and then amplify the confusing effect by adding some skills, exert control on it, and strive for a chance to escape.

But doing so is too risky and requires careful planning.

And even if the ceremony is to be performed, it is not now. You have to hang it up for a while, or you will lose face.

The most important thing is that I now have an opportunity to log in to the dream space at any time, and I have an entry ticket to the order-oriented server-although it is unreliable to hold Buddha's feet temporarily, it is always good to give yourself a little advantage...

Xu Tuoran made up his mind and made up two sleep runes. This kind of rune can ensure that dreams are not invaded by foreign objects, and at the same time has the power of long night/perpetual day, which can help calm emotions and sleep peacefully.

Xu Tuoran and the deputy class each had an office chair, lay down comfortably, closed their eyes and were about to call the entrance ticket, when they suddenly remembered something, jumped up again, and picked up the thermos cup on the table.

The deputy squad leader looked at her in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just want to try it out of curiosity." Xu Furan said vaguely, looked into the cup, quietly took out the vitamin medicine bottle, poured out a lot of pills from it, added them all into the cup, and died. Shake and shake.

Immediately afterwards, under the surprised gaze of the deputy squad leader, he put the thermos cup into the cabinet.

Vice monitor: "...???"

"Just... try, just try." Xu Tuoran explained with some embarrassment, "I don't know if it will want the things in it. It doesn't matter if you don't want it. If you want it—!"

Before he could finish speaking, an angry scream suddenly sounded in the dark. The voice seemed to be extremely far away, and it exploded in his ears again. Xu Tueran was caught off guard, and his eardrums were so shocked.

Immediately afterwards, the entire office wall was glowing with a faint and depressing red light. Large pieces of glaring handwriting appeared on the wall, with messy word order and crazy tone. While writing indiscriminately, they carefully avoided all the runes that Xu Tuoran had drawn before, resulting in small and crowded words.

【hurry up! conduct! ceremony! 】

[Hurry up, hurry up and perform the ceremony! 】

[I won't let you out, and if you don't obey, you will never want to go out! 】

【Hurry up! immediately! 】

"..."

Xu Tueran looked at the messy writing on the wall, and only three words came to mind silently.

It's in a hurry.

I just don’t know if it’s just so irritable, or because it’s taken the wrong medicine… Xu vainly curled his lips, winked at the deputy squad leader, ignored it, sat on the seat, and closed his mouth to himself. eyes.

at the same time.

In another office.

The health commissioner sat on the office chair with his knees in his arms, looked at the crazy handwriting all over the wall, and said helplessly, "Dalang, can you tell me what you added to that thermos just now?"

Yang Buqi: "..."

"It's just... a little poison." Yang Buqi tried his best to ignore the tragic hallucination in front of him, and carefully sat back on the chair.

"A little?" The health commissioner asked in disbelief.

"Every kind of poison has been added... a little." Yang Buqi tried his best to maintain a calm face, "I'm not sure if it will work. I just thought that if I can poison it enough, I will make money..."

Health Commissioner: "???"

"Is the style of your almshouse so wild?" He looked over in shock.

"No, I originally...a friend of mine often...forget it." Yang Buqi couldn't continue talking, but looked at the crazy urging all over the wall, and sighed deeply.

Health Commissioner: "...What about now? What are you going to do?"

"Others should have taken measures when they found out that we didn't go back. Maybe the next time someone comes in, we can go out." Yang Buqi thought for a while, and said seriously, "In any case, the ceremony cannot be performed. At least not now. "

Health Commissioner: "?"

"It can't easily fulfill its wish. The more urgent it is, the more we have to delay." Yang Buqi said very skillfully, after pondering for a while, he took out a bottle of mineral water and poured some green broken light into it, After mixing well, pour some into the bottle cap.

"Sleeping pills. Do you want it?" He pushed the bottle cap towards the health committee member. "This hallucination looks too uncomfortable. Why don't you sleep for a while and calm down?"

Health Commissioner: "...???"
