I Upended Yet Another Campus Urban Legend

The movement in Room 103 fell into Qin Zhou's ears. Before he reached Room 103, he saw the old dormitory manager dragging the corpse's leg up the corridor, facing Qin Zhou directly.

He and the old dorm manager didn't stop in their tracks, they passed each other after meeting each other.Qin Zhou took a few more steps, then looked back and recognized the corpse as Wang Duo.

The old dorm manager quickly disappeared at the corner of the corridor, and then the body also disappeared at the corner.

The noise in Room 103 continued, Qin Zhou withdrew his gaze to Room 103.

He deliberately dawdled, in fact, to check if anyone died. NPCs only kill people at night. If there was a dead person last night, the dormitory was the scene.

If you want to know the rules of death in the rule world, it is easier to find answers from dead people than to look for clues during the day.

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, the others were not in the mood and remembered to close the door.

Qin Zhou looked from bedroom to bedroom, and there was no dead person 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 also missed the opportunity to check the cause of death, so he frowned.

The old dormitory manager dragged the corpse and left drag marks on the ground. The starting point of the drag marks was in Room 103. With the screams coming 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 downcast.

Probably because he noticed Qin Zhou's gaze, Lin Yi raised his head to look at him, and suddenly felt that Qin Zhou seemed to say something, but he didn't hear clearly: "...Senior, what did you say?"

Qin Zhou glanced at him again, and then turned his gaze to everyone: "I'll give you three minutes to sort out your mood."

Lin Yi: "..."

awkward.

In fact, it was also because he was thinking about something in his heart. Before the old supervisor took away Wang Duo's body, Lin Yi tried to change a few positions. The sight of the body followed him like the famous painting "Mona Lisa".

But Lin Yi found that other people seemed not to be able to see Wang Duo's staring eyes and his growing weird smile.

He was wondering if he was being targeted by the 7-7 monster, or if there was another reason.

Lin Yi originally thought that it would be difficult for others who were immersed in fear to listen to Qin Zhou's words. He didn't want Qin Zhou's words to fall, and the others really began to calm down immediately.

Even Qu Jialiang, who was told by Xu Xia several times and couldn't help but want to quarrel with Cheng Yang, began to adjust himself.

After 3 minutes passed, Qin Zhou didn't care whether they had adjusted or not. As soon as Room 103 quieted down, he said coldly, "Who will arrive first?"

Cheng Yang raised his hand.

"Passing by." 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 hands, trying to describe the fear of last night with gestures. "It turned out that I was the first to arrive, and I laughed and pretended."

Waving and waving, he found Qin Zhou looking at him deeply, Cheng Yang said quickly: "I was about to go back to find brother Lin Yi, and then the two senior sisters also arrived."

Li Ying nodded, and Zhou Lingling also nodded, proving that Cheng Yang was right.

The girls dare not act alone, so they come together.

The one who arrived later was Wang Duo.

Qin Zhou's face darkened a little when he heard that, and then he asked, "What's strange about him?"

Cheng Yang shook his head: "I didn't notice it. The only strange thing 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 would show such an expression when he heard that Wang Duo was the third person to arrive in Room 103.

Qin Zhou's question was on his ear: "What about after you go out?"

"Senior Wang Duo bumped into these two when he went out." Cheng Yang was not very happy, and Qu Jialiang directly pointed.Given that Qin Zhou was in charge, Qu Jialiang dared not speak out.

"He stopped him and kept asking questions. But senior Wang Duo didn't answer. I can't see anything else," Cheng Yang said.

Qin Zhou looked at Qu Jialiang, and Qu Jialiang hurriedly said, "I also want to know more."

Xu Xiazhi smiled wryly: "The more you know, the higher your survival rate will be."

After everyone said a few words, it was Lin Yi's turn. Lin Yi: "When I came down, all the seniors and sisters were here, but I was the first to move the chopsticks."

He only said this, and didn't tell Qin Zhou that he saw Wang Duo's big belly, because no one else seemed to notice, let alone told Qin Zhou that he was smiling at himself when he saw Wang Duo's body.

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 Lin Yi put down the bowl, he pointed to Wang Duo's position: "Senior Wang Duo is sitting there alone."

Everyone looked in the direction Lin Yi pointed, and Wang Duo's position was still in a mess.The spit out rats and cockroaches completely stopped moving, and the whole room exuded a sour and disgusting smell.

Thinking of Wang Duo's death, Li Yinghong asked, "Senior Qin, will we die like this too?"

This is the most concerned issue for everyone. Wang Duo's death is not only a shock, but also a demonstration of death.

"If you can't find any clues." Qin Zhou didn't comfort him, he said, "We're all going to die."

The atmosphere in Room 103 became even 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 dormitory upside down."

Everyone returned to their respective rooms with pale faces. After Lin Yi returned to the room, he knocked on the wall and leaned over to whisper, "Senior."

After a while, Qin Zhou in Room 305 responded.

Lin Yi immediately asked: "Did Senior just wonder why Senior Wang Duo was still alive during the day?"

Qin Zhou knew that Lin Yi was good at observing expressions, otherwise he would not have noticed his defense, so he said directly: "Yes."

"No one dies during the day except being killed by monsters."

Qin Zhou bumped into the old housekeeper in the corridor, and he just thought that Wang Duo's body had been transferred to Room 103.

Lin Yi: "But Senior Wang Duo was not killed by the 7-7 monster. There is no need for the 7-7 monster to do it himself on the first night. And the senior said that monsters make rules and respect the rules. If I were a monster , the authority I have to kill at will is a kind of fun for me to be killed. To make the rules more interesting, I will make myself a restrictive but interesting rule, such as killing in a way that humans can do , isn’t it just that the monster is hiding among us?”

Qin Zhou was silent for a while and said, "You can empathize with monsters."

"... Substituting others is just a way of conjecture." Lin Yi made a face-to-face speech to show his identity card: "I am not a monster. If I were a monster, I would die."

"..." Qin Zhou said, "You won."

"So am I right?" Lin Yiquan thought Qin Zhou was praising himself.

"Yes, little genius." Qin Zhou smiled.

"Did senior see the bowl I used?" Lin Yi asked again.

Qin Zhou: "Yes."

Eating the bottomless bowl was Lin Yi telling Qin Zhou that the rules of death had nothing to do with breakfast.

Among the seven people who arrived in Room 103, he, Cheng Yang and Zhou Lingling all moved their chopsticks.There are also Qu Jialiang, Xu Xiazhi and Li Ying who did not move their chopsticks.

So whether to eat breakfast or not has nothing to do with Wang Duo's death, and why Wang Duo died during the day can only be due to 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 did do it at night, but senior Wang Duo died this morning. It's like poisoning, the time of poisoning is at night, but the time of poisoning is during the day."

Qin Zhou: "Very likely."

Lin Yi immediately answered, "There must be a death rule in his room, senior, do you want to go and see it?"

Qin Zhou licked Lin Yi's words and double checked that Lin Yi said 'you' instead of 'we'.He asked, "I'm going? What about you?"

"Yeah." Lin Yi said, "I'm waiting in the room for clues from the senior."

He didn't yet know if going to someone else's room was a death rule.

Qin Zhou was silent: "...you don't want to die at this time."

Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "I can't die yet."

Qin Zhou sneered: "Can I die now?"

Lin Yi quickly explained: "That's not what it means. Didn't the assignment be made last night? The senior is responsible for finding the death rules, and I am responsible for attracting the attention of monsters."

Qin Zhou said, "But I didn't agree."

This time Lin Yi was silent for a while, and then: "Senior~"

Silence came to Qin Zhou's side, and after a while: "I remember I said, I don't eat this."

Lin Yi: "But I have no other choice."

Qin Zhou: "..."

Lin Yi was ashamed of 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 forward: "Senior, I'm still here."

Qin Zhou said: "When I went downstairs in the morning, I took a look at every room. Wang Duo's room was 310. The door was not closed. The room was in a mess. There were many food packaging bags on the floor and an overturned lunch box. .”

Lin Yi pondered: "Senior Wang Duo vomited a lot of things, could the cause of Senior Wang Duo's death be that the senior ate something from the dormitory?"

He looked into his room, and saw that there was no food in room 304, "For us, the death rule has changed the furnishings in the room?"

"No." Qin Zhou said: "No matter how strange the death rule is, it will always be linked with the 'open window'. So if tampering with the furnishings in the house is a death rule, it still lacks the 'open window'. An opportunity to connect."

"No one knows whether he touched the things in the house or not." Qin Zhou said again: "There are curtains on the windows of room 310. I don't know if the windows are open. But even if the windows of room 310 are open , an open window can be a signal that the death rule is coming, but it will not be the death rule."

Lin Yi understood.

The monster has established a death rule, waiting for those involved to accidentally trigger it and fall into the thunder pool.

The actor lacks a 'trigger' behavior if the window is originally open.

So Wang Duo must have done something, triggered the death rule, met the NPC killing conditions, and what he did was related to the 'open window'.

He looked at the window, which was also covered with curtains in room 304.

He searched room 304 last night, but left the curtain alone.

Every person involved remembers that he saw the open window before being involved. The window has become a kind of bad luck, so how could he get close to the window again.

Qin Zhou said: "Little genius, I don't believe you didn't notice something strange about Wang Duo."

"...Then I will recall the memories again." Lin Yi said.

After a brief pause, Lin Yi recalled: "Senior Wang Duo sat alone, looking very nervous, and kept looking back."

Qin Zhou said, "The old housekeeper is outside?"

"No." Lin Yi said: "The old supervisor is always in the duty room, and even if the old supervisor is at the door, it is impossible to look out frequently."

After all, the old dormitory manager is a so-called NPC. He knows that the old dormitory manager will kill people at night. Normally speaking, who would dare to look back at a murderer frequently?

Qin Zhou also thought so, and murmured while thinking: "Then what is he looking at?"

If he wasn't looking at the old man in charge, then what was Wang Duo looking at?

Lin Yi suddenly paused, not everyone was in room 103, Qin Zhou was not there!

Wang Duo is looking at Qin Zhou!

At this moment, Lin Yi's thoughts jumped up uncontrollably.

That's right, Wang Duo could only be looking at Qin Zhou.

To be more specific, Wang Duo is looking to see if Qin Zhou is coming. To be more specific, Wang Duo is waiting for Qin Zhou to come!

But why wait?

Last night in the apartment lobby, Qin Zhou reprimanded Wang Duo for talking too much. Wang Duo must not be waiting for Qin Zhou to have breakfast together for the purpose of strengthening his relationship with Qin Zhou.

Frequently looking back to see if Qin Zhou has arrived, there must be something very urgent, Wang Duo has something to say to Qin Zhou!

What do you want to say to Qin Zhou?

Talk about the messy room 310?Qin Zhou must say 'get out'.

What exactly is Wang Duo going to tell Qin Zhou?

"Senior Wang Duo is very nervous. His whole body is tense, but it's not a desperate collapse on the verge of death. I think Senior Wang Duo doesn't know that he violated the death rule at all, and he doesn't know that he is about to die, so yesterday The old man in charge of the night stay didn’t actually go to Senior Wang Duo’s room.”

Lin Yi thought deeply.

Qin Zhou also understood the logic of Lin Yi's deduction. The old man in charge was an NPC, and the appearance of an NPC at night meant death.The fact that Wang Duo didn't know that he was going to die could prove that Wang Duo had no contact with the old man in charge last night.

"Since he's not the old dormitory supervisor, the reason why senior Wang Duo is nervous can only be..." Peeling off layer by layer, Lin Yi analyzed: "I saw something else last night, and this thing is terrible. Terrible It made senior Wang Duo determined to ask the senior for help. But it's not that scary, although he was nervous, he could wait until dawn the next day, and he could sit down at the dining table before the senior."

"And this thing..." Lin Yi said, "It must not be in the house."

Otherwise, Wang Duo wouldn't have stayed in Room 310 until dawn, and he wouldn't have been the third group of people to arrive at the restaurant.

What is not in the house, there is only what is outside the window.

Lin Yi pursed his lips, he wasn't hallucinating last night, there was indeed rustling outside the window...

So the death rule is, look out the window?

Lin Yi quickly rejected it.

No, if looking out of the window is the rule of death, why use curtains to cover it?They were all pulled into the rule world by the open window, so how could they get close to the window again.

Lin Yi tried to substitute Wang Duo again. When he knew that there was a problem with the window and it was bad luck, he would stay away from the window. Even if the curtains covering the window flew up, he would not approach the window, nor would he take a second look.

He may hide under the covers and cover his head with the quilt, out of sight.

Even if there were strange rustling noises outside the window, he would not check.After all, "curiosity killed the cat" is a familiar saying, and he would at best read prosperity, democracy, civilization and harmony in the quilt.

unless……

Something crawled in through the open window.
