Welcome to the lock demon tower

The reason why I knew it was a corpse, and not some messy mess, was because the girl was lying motionless on her back in the grass, her eyes were still wide open, she had already lost her luster, her hands and feet were hanging limply in the grass, and there were large bruises on her body. A large piece of bloody flowers.

The dress she was wearing was vaguely recognizable, with an off-white gauze base and dotted with sequins. Qiao Que knew that this kind of dress would reflect bright light on the stage illuminated by lights, making her look like a goddess.

On the way to the library, Qiao Que had seen this dress before. Its owner was wearing it, singing on the open-air music stage, which was so melodious that even Qiao Que couldn't help but stop and watch it for a while.

"Xia... Xia Meng..."

His eyes widened and he murmured her name.

438 hesitated to speak: "Qiao Que..."

Jiang Luchi turned his head and looked at Qiao Que's face. His eyes were complicated and he couldn't tell what was involved.

Qiao Que didn't care about this, so he took a few steps forward, squatted beside Jiang Luchi, and stared blankly at the corpse in front of him.

There was a long wound on her body, stretching from her right shoulder to her left leg, almost splitting her whole body diagonally in two, and the cut flesh rolled up and turned into a color that made people want to vomit.Some organs in the abdomen are just exposed, and some places have even been covered with dense worms.

She is very beautiful, especially when she smiles. She has a lively personality, likes to sing, and has excellent grades.

It was such a young, fresh life, now lying in front of Qiao Que in this state, dying with regret.

438: "Qiao Que, don't look at it."

Qiao Que shook his head and continued to stare at the corpse on the ground without even blinking.

Jiang Luchi lit a cigarette and handed it to Qiao Que: "Do you want it?"

Qiao Que didn't answer, just staring at the bright and dark red light of the cigarette butt at his fingertips in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.

Jiang Luchi didn't mind. He leaned against a tree and closed his eyes again. He didn't smoke the cigarette, but just held it in his hand and let it burn to the point where it was close to his fingers.

Qiao Que said, "Brother Chi, do you have your mobile phone?"

Jiang Luchi didn't say a word. After a long time, he reached out and took out the phone from his pocket, unlocked it and handed it to him.

Qiao Que exhaled, stood up, and began to take...photographs of the corpse from all angles.

He even lay down on the ground, focusing on the fingers of the female corpse.

438: "... What are you doing?"

Qiao Que held his breath, and didn't wipe his face until he finished taking pictures: Actually, the first reaction just now was to call 110 with his mobile phone...

438:"……"

Qiao Que: Later, it was found that there was no service, so I had to keep the crime scene evidence myself.

438: "... committing a crime..."

...Although it is true from some angles...

Qiao Que stood up and returned the phone to Jiang Luchi. He didn't seem particularly sad or broke, but he was still a little dazed.He whispered to 438 and Jiang Luchi: "She is a classmate of my elective course, her name is Xia Meng, she is the beauty of the School of Economics and Management, she is very popular. Today... no, I saw her last night, She sang at a summer night concert at school."

Jiang Luchi took the phone, stubbed out the cigarette butt, and his eyes drifted to nowhere: "She should be the newcomer this time, just like you."

Qiao Que glanced at Xia Meng's body again.

Jiang Luchi: "It's just that luck is far worse than yours."

Anyway, it was a classmate, Qiao Que couldn't bear it, and finally did countless psychological constructions, but still sighed, knelt down, and shook his hands to help Xia Meng close his eyes.

Trembling, he stroked her cold forehead...

...the eyes are still open, and even look slightly red, as if staring at someone.

Qiao Que: ...

Qiao Que: Tuotuo, tell me quickly, is she going to pick up the corpse?Amitabha, I'm sorry, Xia Meng, but me, me, me...do you want to run?

438: "...Your double standard on corpses and abnormal life forms is really serious, dear."

Jiang Luchi took a long leg, took a step closer, waved his right hand lightly, as if grabbing something, and pinched it lightly again, Qiao Que turned his head, Xia Meng's eyes were already closed.

Jiang Luchi: "It's just some resentment."

It's just that whether it's resentment or obsession, it's the least rare thing in this demon lock tower.

Ashes to ashes to ashes, there will be nothing left.

Jiang Luchi withdrew his hand: "She will soon be reported to the Demon Locking Tower."

Qiao Que didn't know what it was like: "She was killed in the Demon Locking Tower, what about real life? What will happen?"

Jiang Luchi's eyes were slightly cold: "Didn't your system tell you? If you were killed by an abnormal life form in the Demon Locking Tower, you would suffer serious injuries in reality, perhaps from illness, car accident, accident, or even suicide. Although the system will activate the mechanism to save life, but the soul is injured, and one foot has already stepped into the gate of hell. Most people will become vegetative."

After saying this, he ignored Qiao Que, turned around and walked back.

Qiao Que looked at his back and lowered his head.

He asked: Tuotuo, can you find out who killed Xia Meng?

438: "Sorry, I don't have this permission."

Qiao Que: Well, it’s okay.I just……

438: "The host I know. Go back."

Qiao Que said "Hmm" and snapped his fingers.Next to Xia Meng's body, two small birds made of spiritual power immediately appeared.

They flew around Xia Meng's body, dispelling countless insects that had been crawling on her body, and then stopped in her long hair, just like the lighting effect on the stage, illuminating the Her peaceful and serene cheeks.

……

Zhao Kexin walked out of the bathroom after washing up, her makeup was delicate and moving, her big waves were combed into a neat bun, she was wearing a tight T-shirt and high-waisted shorts, she was neat and youthful, and her whole body was radiant.

Qiao Que floated out of the room with two dark circles under her eyes.

She: "Morning, Xiao Qiao."

Qiao Que looked at her quietly: "Sister Kexin, did you sleep well last night?"

Zhao Kexin leaned close to him and grinned: "Okay! I haven't slept so well for a long time. Did you see that, the skin is so easy to break."

Qiao Que choked: "...that's really great..."

Zhao Kexin thought of something belatedly: "What? Something happened?"

Qiao Que: ...To put it simply, we were peeped through the small window by a nurse Rong all night, and you rushed up coquettishly just to ridicule me. In the end, in order to survive, we had to knock you out and let you fall asleep A beautiful beauty sleep.

Zhou Tian and Tang Momo were coming out of their room, and it was not convenient to talk here, so Qiao Que said vaguely, "Well, a little bit."

Zhao Ke understood, stopped asking any more questions, took out two thin unknown objects from his backpack, and forced Qiao Que to stick them under his eyes.

Qiao Que was confused: "What what?"

Zhao Kexin: "Eye mask! Look at your dark circles!"

Hearing this, Tang Momo poked her head out of the bathroom quickly, her face was covered with cucumber slices, and they were falling down.She followed it with her hands calmly and quickly and accurately pasted every crevice on her face, and asked, "What brand is it? How is the effect?"

Qiao Que: ...

438: "Is it all so hard..."

He Ping walked in from the balcony, his face was not very good-looking: "Everyone better come and have a look."

Looking out from the south balcony of Building A, there is a beautiful artificial lake called Mirror Lake. You can often see many young couples on the promenade by the lake.

On the other side of the mirror lake is the teaching building of Qiao Que's law school.

The campus at the moment is full of students coming and going in a hurry.

With books in their hands and hot soybean milk and steamed buns they just bought from the cafeteria in their mouths, they hurried to the first morning class.

Just like every normal Monday.

Zhao Kexin opened the door of this apartment in disbelief.

The corridor was empty, and the number on the elevator was quietly fixed on 8.

It was as if the whole world was still asleep.

Someone cursed secretly: "Where did these students come from? Are they people or ghosts?"

Another person observed for a while, and said uncertainly: "NPC?"

Qiao Que: Camel, will there be so many NPCs in the world of Locking Demon Tower?

438: "It depends on the level of sophistication of the boss in this world."

Qiao Que: ...

438: "Every world in the Demon Locking Tower is created entirely based on the core of the energy body, just like everyone's room, what to make is a personal preference."

Qiao Que: I see... It's like Kexin's house, there must be wool carpets everywhere, red wine and fragrances on the table, and a huge sandbag hanging from the ceiling.

438: ...you will be beaten and I will tell you.

Qiao Que stared outside for a long time, and found that he could even see a few familiar faces. He was terrified after thinking about it, and really didn't want to know who these people were.

He walked back to the living room, saw that almost all his teammates were present, and said, "I have something to tell everyone."

Qiao Que secretly glanced at Jiang Luchi, seeing that he was still standing aside with no expression on his face, and didn't mean to disapprove, so he was relieved and told everyone that Xia Meng's body was found downstairs last night .

Zhao Kexin was full of doubts: "Wait, did you go out with Jiang Luchi last night? Why didn't I know?"

Qiao Que: ...Because you were busy raising the ashes of someone else.

Tang Momo showed a sad expression: "Ah, the top student of University A, a 20-year-old girl..."

After she finished speaking, she subconsciously glanced at Qiao Que, and covered her mouth apologetically: "I'm sorry, Xiao Qiao. Is she your classmate?"

Qiao Que shook her head: "It's okay. I don't know her very well."

It's just that they were in the same class and had met a few times in elective courses. Someone once joked that they were right, so he remembered the name.

The atmosphere was a bit dull for a while, everyone didn't expect that it was only the first day, and they had lost a new teammate before they met each other, and they couldn't help feeling sad.

He Ping adjusted his glasses, clapped his hands, and said, "Okay, everyone, stop thinking about it. I don't know what's going on outside, and I'm waiting for everyone to cheer up and find out."

Several other male teammates also echoed He Ping's words, they all lived in the same room with He Ping last night.It seems that they get along well. In just one night, the whole team has been faintly divided into three groups.

Even though he was recognized as the soul of the group with the largest number of people, He Ping was still very gentle and humble. He found a piece of paper from nowhere and drew a rough map of the school with a few strokes: "This is the general situation of the school that I confirmed with Xiao Qiao , everyone can remember it for a while. This place is really too big, there are more than a dozen students in the Optical Academy, and there seem to be so many students outside, it is impossible to find it like headless chickens. I suggest that everyone search for clues separately, come back here before dark, and summarize information to discuss the next step.”

Everyone has no opinion on this proposal.

He Ping added: "Since it's the world of the Demon Locking Tower, everyone should ask more about strange things, such as whether there are any students committing suicide, whether there are any vicious incidents, whether there are any hauntings, etc. It can only be done first."

Everyone left the apartment and rushed to where they wanted to go.

Qiao Que pulled Zhao Kexin and went straight to the cafeteria downstairs.

To his surprise, Jiang Luchi followed silently.

Qiao Que proudly ordered three beef noodles, each with two eggs, and bought Xiaolongbao and fried dumplings, which filled the table.

Zhao Ke was happy: "Xiao Qiao, you have a good appetite."

Qiao Que sniffled while sniffling the powder, and said truthfully, "Sister Kexin, you don't know, if you don't eat some good energy supplements, I'm afraid that something will happen to me today... and I'll be cold right away. You eat, our cafeteria Beef noodles are on the food list of city A."

Zhao Kexin snorted obsessively, without even raising his head, he said in a daze, "Sure enough...delicious."

Qiao Que also finished a bowl of grunting, then wiped his mouth, and told her in detail what happened last night.

After Zhao Kexin listened carefully, she dropped the last powder in her mouth: "I really kicked the quilt? No wonder I feel a little stuffy."

Qiao Que: ... Is your focus a bit wrong?

At that time, I was almost scared to pee.

Jiang Luchi sat on the side, listening to Qiao Que narrate what happened last night, as calm as if he was not one of the protagonists.

He was tall and long-legged, with a cold and alienated demeanor, like a piece of beautiful jade with a hint of cold air, sitting in the canteen full of fireworks, he looked out of place.

It should be said that from the very beginning, he has been separated from the entire volunteer team and has always seemed out of place.

He glanced at Qiao Que: "I want to tell you that this line has nothing to do with the boss, it's my task. I hope you don't want to investigate any further, especially you."

Qiao Que looked up: "It has nothing to do with the boss, it has to do with the volunteers, Brother Chi, am I right?"

Jiang Luchi: "..."

Zhao Kexin came back to his senses and looked at Qiao Que in surprise. The steamed bun on the chopsticks slowly slipped and fell into the bowl.

Jiang Luchi looked away coldly, and did not answer, which was a kind of tacit consent.

438: "...you..."

Qiao Que: It’s almost my guess. Did you mention any confidentiality agreement?Brother Chi has repeatedly warned me not to ask or to check, it's probably the matter here.I see, don't worry, Tuotuo, I won't make it difficult for you.

438: "...um... thank you, host. I now kind of understand how you got into University A."

Qiao Que proudly puffed out her small chest: "The teachers who taught me said they couldn't see that I was so smart.

438: ... Isn't this a compliment?

438's loving face: "Indeed, I don't see how smart we are."
