Chapter 111 Dormitory Friendship League (Part 3)
The scene outside the window made the four people in the dormitory feel dazed for a moment.
It was as if the game had not yet begun and they were still in their original dormitory area. There were many people in the dormitory building opposite. When they opened the window, they could hear the chatting downstairs, the rustling of leaves, and the noise of the water truck driving in.
But they soon came to their senses: on the balcony of the dormitory building opposite, there were not only men and women who looked unfamiliar, but also most of them looked alert. Some people were standing on the balcony with umbrellas, and when they noticed the changes in the surrounding environment, they were shocked at first, and then hurriedly put away their umbrellas and hid back in their dormitories.
In less than ten seconds, the building opposite looked like an empty building.
"Are they a replica illusion, or real people?"
In the silent air, Guo Guo muttered to himself.
"Dormitory Friendship League... should it be a real dormitory, right?"
Zheng Wanqing also whispered.
If these are all real people, then they seem to understand why the game released a group battle copy in advance to allow them to adapt.
In a whole 6-story dormitory building, there were 48 dormitory balcony doors that they saw alone, which meant that there were about 200 candidates who had also entered the game!
"No, more than one."
Tang Xin Jue shook his head, hinting: "From the perspective of the opposite side, our building may be the same."
The two buildings stand more than 10 meters apart, one in front and one behind. If they open the balcony window now, they may be able to see a new "dormitory next door".
Then a new problem arises.
Should they be the first to open the balcony windows?
Zhang You was as cautious as ever: "Even if there are real candidates in the dormitory outside, we can't judge whether they are kind or malicious... After all, this is a competition."
They are no longer the "freshmen" who would be ecstatic when they saw someone appear in the next dormitory.
Judging from their reactions, other candidates who participated in the competition probably felt the same way.
"Umbrellas, clothes drying poles, and cloaks." Tang Xin Jue captured several elements that he had just observed from the dormitory building opposite, and concluded: "They have just experienced the same mission as us."
Even from their expressions and actions, it seemed that some people had not yet finished and were therefore delayed and stayed on the balcony.
Tang Xin Jue: "If we assume that all the competition dormitories receive the same tasks, then there is no danger in opening the door now."
On the other hand, if the tasks were different, even slightly, the students who walked onto the balcony might be attacked.
"The safest option is to observe the situation and wait."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Xinjue pulled up a part of the movable baffle to cover the bodies of the four people.
When facing ghosts, she might just rush forward with force, but when it comes to human candidates who might become enemies, she must be ten times more vigilant and deal with them carefully.
Now, less than half a minute had passed since the outside environment had just changed, and the four of them tacitly kept quiet at the same time. The window baffle that Zhang You had modified had an advantage, so that one could tear open a gap from the inside to observe outside the window, and the distance from the dormitory building next door made it impossible for the other side to observe this place in the opposite direction through the gap.
Guo Guo asked softly, "Should we not stand in front of the window and be seen?"
Tang Xin Jue: "It's not impossible, but you have to know that the skills and props in the game are all-encompassing. Those who can enter this competition either have credits or invitations, and their strength level will not be too bad - even if they show a little bit, it may become a basis for others to attack."
Guo Guo's heart skipped a beat and he immediately shut his mouth tightly, not even daring to speak.
Zhang You said, "What if we didn't wait for the next task in the game, or in other words, the task required us to go out and communicate with others?"
Tang Xinjue's voice was gentle, but his tone was firm: "Then, there must be something wrong with the dormitory outside."
Three minutes later, action took place in the dormitory building opposite.
"The French window on the left side of the second balcony on the third floor was opened, and someone came out."
Tang Xinjue reminded in a low voice.
Two boys came out. They were wearing hats and sunglasses, and down jackets that looked a bit funny. They looked fully armed. One of them was holding a white flag, and the other was holding a megaphone:
"Classmates, classmates! If you have anything to say, please talk it over nicely and don't use violence. Friendship comes first, competition comes second. Please don't hit us. We just want to win a participation award, a participation award!"
The boy with the loudspeaker pushed the person next to him, and the other person quickly waved the small white flag in his hand. It was very conspicuous in the empty dormitory building, so conspicuous that even someone with severe myopia could see it.
Coupled with the sound from the loudspeaker, people living in the same dormitory building can hear it clearly even without leaving their homes.
Guo Guo took a deep breath: "-Are you afraid that you won't die early enough?"
As the saying goes, the first tree to stick its head out gets shot. If these two people simply came out to admit defeat, they would be considered two complete fools, and they would have become experimental subjects for others.
The two boys lingered on the balcony for about half a minute, without being attacked or getting any response. They were not discouraged and continued to shout with the loudspeaker:
"We just came out to introduce ourselves - I hope you guys enjoy the game - then we'll go back first -"
Before the two of them could open the balcony window, two boys came out from the third balcony on the second floor. They were dressed exactly the same, rolled up a piece of toilet paper on a broom as a white flag, and started shouting something that was similar to what the two boys on the third floor said.
The boys on the third floor looked at each other, leaned on the balcony railing and looked down in a friendly manner: "Classmates, are you guys here to join the crowd? Where are you from? Let's get to know each other."
The two boys on the second floor carefully put away their things before looking up and answering, "We are from Qinghe University."
"Oh - Qinghe University!" The boy with the loudspeaker immediately became excited: "I am also from Qinghe University, we are from the same hometown! When fellow villagers meet, their eyes are filled with tears..."
The second floor was silent for a few seconds, and seemed unwilling to talk to the loudspeaker anymore, so he turned around and was about to go in. But the loudspeaker continued to ask: "Hey, do you have anything to say? I have a loudspeaker and I will help you speak, your voices are too quiet..."
Before he could finish his words, an arrow suddenly flew through the air from the direction of Tang Xinjue's dormitory building and hit the loud speaker right in the heart!
The boy who was shot by the arrow covered his chest, twitched twice, and fell on his back.
"ah!!"
A scream came from the fifth floor opposite. A girl on the fifth floor was about to follow the example of the two groups in front of her and walk out. She happened to witness the entire process of the arrow flying over. She was so scared that her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
As the boy with the loudspeaker fell down, the boy holding the white flag immediately bent down to help him up, with his back exposed to the air.
Guo Guo blurted out: "It's over!"
Tang Xin Jue made the opposite judgment: "Not necessarily."
The second arrow whizzed down immediately, its trajectory clearly aimed at the boy with the white flag. But behind it, another arrow came at a speed that ordinary people's dynamic vision could not catch, and it hit the tail of the arrow so fast that the previous arrow turned around and rushed straight to the 5th floor.
The arrow used for rear-end collision fell down, while the arrow used for attack did not slow down. Its current target was the girl from the fifth floor who had just come out!
In a flash, Tang Xinjue closed his eyes.
The sharp arrow that was about to pierce the balcony on the fifth floor suddenly stopped, as if blocked by some invisible force. Almost at the same time, a virtual shield condensed in front of the girl.
After the flying arrow encountered an invisible obstruction, its forward momentum was significantly weakened, and it was blocked by the virtual shield and fell weakly at the girl's feet.
The girl pressed herself against the balcony window, her chest rising and falling rapidly and a frightened face was above her. She pushed the balcony window behind her with trembling hands and hid inside using her hands and feet. The virtual shield was still standing on the balcony and had not dissipated.
Then, a clear female voice sounded from downstairs:
"Someone on the fifth floor here only dares to hide in the dark and launch sneak attacks. What kind of ability is that? If you have the guts, come out and fight us head-on."
Tang Xinjue opened his eyes: "You can go out now."
The werewolf has shown its tail, now it's time for the villagers.
Walking outside and looking down through the gap in the balcony, you can see a girl with long hair and wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts has walked out from the balcony on the third floor.
She was holding a shield in her hand, the shape and size of which was exactly the same as the one that had just appeared in front of the girl on the fifth floor opposite - that was the projection emitted by this shield.
The air between the two dormitory buildings was very quiet. No one came out to respond to the shield girl's words, and the fifth floor that she "named" was even quieter.
Tang Xinjue leaned against the guardrail and had a clearer view of most of the dormitories: some people were frightened and closed the windows tightly, some people left a crack, and some people walked out like her, holding weapons in their hands.
The boy on the third floor who had just been shot in the heart by the arrow had been dragged into the dormitory by another roommate, and no one could see what was going on inside.
The girl holding a shield downstairs sneered, "Still pretending to be a coward? Do you think I can't tell which balcony you came from by the direction of the arrow? You have the guts to kill someone with your own hands, but you don't have the guts to stand up and admit it?"
Tang Xin Jue raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Maybe he is afraid that his identity will be exposed, and other normal students will gang up on the traitor."
"After all, who would tolerate a person who could kill them at any time pretending to be an ordinary candidate and doing the next task with them?"
As soon as the voice fell, the system prompt sounded from the phone:
[A student has died, and the difficulty of all participating students will be increased by 1%]
[When the difficulty reaches 100%, the friendly league is considered a failure]
[Current game progress:]
[Mission Stage 2 Death 1 Clearance 0]
