Chapter 68: Road Trip Tips (XII)
So this is what the customer service meant by “further investigation and communication”?
There was silence in the house for a moment.
Although I knew about the existence of the counselor, I was still a little confused when I was caught off guard by the "visit"——
They were totally unprepared!
And the email did not contain any detailed information, such as who the counselor is, when he will come, and what the specific procedures for the visit are...
Guo Guo covered his head and tried to escape: "Help! This is more terrifying than when my teacher suddenly visited my home when I was a child!"
Zheng Wanqing's face was not good either. "It's even more terrible than my supervisor coming to my house and asking me to choose a new topic right after I published the first draft of my paper."
Most importantly, they still don't know anything about this "counselor". Is the other party malicious, kind, or neutral? As long as it has something to do with games, everyone always has a bad premonition.
Zhang You was worried: "I'll contact customer service this time to ask."
She opened the app and was about to jump to the customer service interface when the screen suddenly reported an error:
[The service time has expired and the customer service has gone off duty.]
...It's a crappy game! Don't do it if you don't want to!
Tang Xin Jue counselled them instead: "Since it is something we cannot change, there is no need to worry too much. From this perspective, we are actually safe."
Roommate: "Really? Why?"
Tang Xin Jue: "Because we are too weak."
roommate:"……"
Looking at the three speechless little faces, Tang Xin Jue smiled and said, "Have you noticed? This game has clear levels. Logically, the level of the counselors should be far higher than all the ghosts we have encountered. Compared with them, the students who have just entered the game can be said to be like an ant trying to shake a tree. If the other party really makes a move that is unfavorable to us, we will not be able to resist."
"If the game is so pure in its desire to kill us, why not just tie all the students to trees and shoot them, and then release the survivors back to reality."
Zhang You couldn't help laughing. Zheng Wanqing showed her two rows of white teeth, and the tense atmosphere suddenly eased.
After joking, Tang Xin Jue returned to seriousness: "But we are still alive today, aren't we?"
When enemies come, we will fight them; when water comes, we will block it with earth. Even if you are in a desperate situation, there is at least a glimmer of hope.
After this, everyone came to their senses, ate and drank as usual, and then drew the lottery as usual.
"Biscuits, water, water, biscuits..."
As he counted the same food over and over again, Guo Guo's expression became as dry as a biscuit.
"A bottle of Coke would be fine too!"
Before he finished his words, a white light flashed in front of Tang Xinjue, and a large bottle of Coke appeared.
"Thank you, I forgive this world." Guo Guo is very easy to satisfy.
Since the effective score was small this time, the few people in total did not draw the spin wheel a few times. Apart from food, there were some useless daily necessities, such as a ceramic mouthwash cup with a chipped corner, a flashlight without batteries, and chopsticks that emitted an unknown foul smell.
Zhang You put them all into an unknown corner, then started to clean up the dormitory. Not long after, the whole room looked brand new.
"No matter what time, you can't give up cleaning and organizing supplies."
Zhang You stretched out his hands: "All the order in the world is the source of power!"
A barely perceptible breeze blew by, and a faint light flashed in Zhang You's hands.
Skills, recycling old things!
The next moment, a huge, white, unknown object emitting a chill crashed to the ground.
Several people opened their eyes wide.
Especially Zhang, Guo and Zheng, even if they turned into ashes, they would never forget the psychological trauma they suffered at Grandma Mayas's house, especially the ice storage filled with "soup base".
If they were not mistaken, the white object in front of them was clearly a fragment of the freezer used to store soup base in the ice storage. There were a few drops of green liquid on the edge of the fragment.
Guo Guo was very shocked: "This thing can actually be recycled... Ugh!"
The extremely unpleasant stench quickly filled the entire dormitory, and the four of them began to retch and cover their mouths.
In the corridor outside the door, the heavy footsteps and scraping sounds that never stopped every day just reached the door, and the sound suddenly stopped for the first time.
Footsteps: "Ugh."
At this moment, 606 is so smelly that even unknown monsters think it stinks.
Zhang You, who had just finished cleaning and sprayed air freshener, said: "..."
At twelve o'clock in the morning, the freezer fragments were finally cleaned up.
The green soup base liquid was sealed layer by layer and stored in the mirror space. The cleaned freezer fragments were placed next to the dormitory door. It happened to be the broken part of the freezer corner, which could be used for storage, and stored the sewing kit that Tang Xinjue got from Grandma Mayas.
The three people who were watching Zhang You's cleaning process could only express their admiration. It was as if they were not watching cleaning, but a spell.
After the spell was cast, Zhang You was exhausted: "I'm going to take a shower first."
"Do you need some towels and shampoo?"
“This is my treasured luxury brand shower gel!”
"You can take a shower as much as you want. Today the bathroom is all yours!"
The three of them were extremely flattering.
Zhang You: "... You don't need to do any of that. If possible, please pray that I don't dream about the NPC's ice storage when I go to sleep. I really am - ugh."
Forget it, everything is self-explanatory.
They tossed and turned like this until one in the morning, when they finally went to bed and fell asleep, listening to the news broadcast of the noseless ghost on TV.
"Today, Grandma Mayas, who lives on the highway outside the university town, petitioned the education center overnight to apply for the opening of the elderly subsidy. After learning that the education center did not have a senior service department, Grandma Mayas stood outside the center and cursed for three hours. She then reported the case, claiming that her sewing kit was stolen due to a thief in her home. Then she learned that the education center did not have a police department..."
Noseless Ghost sighed sympathetically: "Ah, the university town is such a cold place. I thought the same thing when I wanted to have a nose surgery many times but found that there was no plastic surgery hospital here."
Ding Ding's warning sounded, urging the noseless ghost not to deviate from the topic.
The Noseless Ghost stuck out his one- meter-long tongue and continued to read the script: "Recently, in preparation for the first weekend competition day in the university town, the three universities are intensively searching for courses that can help students adapt to the competition in advance. At the same time, the three universities refused to cooperate with the first and second universities on the grounds that "you don't have any new students." After the conflict escalated, the school gates that the three universities had just repaired were damaged again..."
The noseless ghost's voice suddenly paused. It raised its head and looked outside the screen with terrified eyes, as if it had sensed something very terrifying.
As the heavy footsteps patrolled back and forth in the corridor, the noseless ghost began to tremble, twitching its mouth but unable to utter a word. Due to excessive fear, its two eyeballs rushed out of their sockets and fell into its hands. Finally, the whole ghost simply crawled under the table and gave up on continuing to broadcast.
Sizzle——
The TV screen is black.
Tang Xinjue heard someone calling him.
She struggled to get up and found herself lying at the bottom of a damp, dark cave.
Looking around, there was no exit of the cave. There was only a small round gap at the top, from which thin light shone in, illuminating the extremely dark and deep cave.
Observing the cave wall carefully, Tang Xinjue discovered that this cave was similar to the shape of a triangular bottle. The space became larger as it went down. At the top there was just a small hole, but the bottom was so wide that the edge could not be seen and the area could not be estimated .
The calling voice was faintly heard in the distance, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. Not only could he not hear who it was, he couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman. Tang Xinjue walked forward tentatively, and finally saw the source of the voice in the deeper part of the cave.
It turned out that this voice did not belong to anyone.
It is the call of a group of people.
This group of people seemed to include both men and women, tall and short. Half of their figures stood in the light, and the other half was immersed in the darkness, so it was unclear what they were wearing or what they looked like.
Some of them were waving, some were shrinking back, some were standing still, and some were shaking.
Tang Xinjue was sure that he didn't know these people.
But why did they call themselves?
Tang Xinjue couldn't hear their voices clearly, but he could sense that they were indeed calling him.
Where is this? Who are they?
Tang Xin Jue unconsciously walked forward, as if he could see everything clearly if he took one more step closer...
But as soon as he raised his leg, a sharp pain shot up from his chest. Tang Xinjue spat out a mouthful of blood and covered his head.
The pain appeared in her head again, and the tinnitus was like thunder, giving her a splitting headache.
Something is wrong!
Tang Xinjue retracted her legs and stepped back, but a force pulled her forward, which was contrary to her own will.
At the critical moment, she immediately concentrated her mental strength, trying to take back control of her body, and finally managed to resist the control of that force and stayed where she was.
The speed at which his mental energy was consumed was unimaginable. It was drained out soon. A huge feeling of fatigue came over him, and Tang Xinjue could only grit his teeth and persevere.
Her intuition told her that she must not be controlled and must not move forward!
“Sizzle—”
An untimely scraping sound came from the top of the cave, which made Tang Xinjue startled. He looked up and followed the familiar sound.
“Boom, boom!”
This time there were heavy footsteps.
The voice became more familiar. Tang Xin Jue tried hard to find its identity in his mind, wanting to grasp something——
She remembered.
The strange noise came from the unknown creatures patrolling in the corridor outside the dormitory door day and night.
She should have been in the bedroom, not in this cave. This was not reality, but... a dream.
The moment she figured it out, she suddenly opened her eyes and her consciousness returned to reality!
She was no longer in bed, but had climbed down from the bed at some point and walked to the balcony window.
Outside the balcony window, a huge red eyeball that filled the entire front window was looking at her coldly.
There was no kindness in its eyes.
Tang Xinjue's thoughts suddenly changed. Just as she was about to speak, the voice of the eyeball pierced her mind first:
"Dark creature, how did you get into the dormitory of human students?"
