Chapter 9: The Seventh Middle School (9)

The factors that led to this [absolutely impossible] chaos were actually the main reasons for Bai You to enter the game.

As an administrator, he naturally had to monitor the game operation every day and fix bugs as soon as they appeared.

Among the more than 10,000 complaints after the server was launched, there were several different complaints. The players complained that the dungeon was not the same as the dungeon process shared in the forum, but there were many unpredictable changes, and the difficulty increased sharply.

These two seemingly insignificant sentences instantly caught Bai You’s attention. After checking the game system, he indeed found that in a certain period of time, the dungeon in one of the rooms had abnormal fluctuations.

But after two days of observation, Bai You did not find the reason for the abnormality, and even the root cause of the abnormality was not found, so there was no way to solve it.

Although only a very small number of players encountered problems, it was of course not possible to let unknown factors affect the dungeon. So Bai You spent a lot of effort to lock the rooms where the dungeons were suspected to have problems, about a dozen of them.

This time she entered room [001].

Should I say she was lucky? She had planned to try more than a dozen rooms one by one, but she picked the room with the problem right away.

What a coincidence! She was assigned a dead person’s identity.

“By the way, how did I faint on the ground?”

Lin Sheng suddenly asked, with obvious doubts in his eyes.

Bai You was slightly stunned, “Don’t you remember?”

Lin Sheng shook his head.

“I just remember that I just found Lin Songyue’s information sheet, and before I could call you, my eyes went black, and then I lost consciousness.”

“And.”

He pointed to a gray mark on his clothes.

“Who stepped on this footprint on my clothes? … It can’t be you?”

“… Of course not.”

Don’t blame others casually, okay!

However.

It seems that Lin Sheng really has no memory of Si Yu.

As for Si Yu…

Will it be what she thought?

“My mission is to find this, and I have completed it.”

Lin Sheng handed over Lin Songyue’s information on the table, “Take a look, after all, this is your identity information, it may be useful to you.”

Bai You took it and smiled, “Thank you.”

“Well, there is nothing to thank you for, why are you so polite, aren’t we teammates?”

Lin Sheng looked at Bai You’s clear and clean eyes, and suddenly stuttered when he spoke.

She not only helped them to get rid of the illusion, but also did not get angry when he treated her badly, but patiently explained to him.

How could such a girl lie?

He really thought too much.

The information on the information is very normal.

[Name: Lin Songyue]

[Gender: Female]

[Birthday: December 24, xxxx]

[Grade: Class A, Senior Three]

December 24, this date does not look ordinary.

It is not only the holiday Christmas Eve, but also the time when the dungeon starts.

According to Lin Sheng and the others, the original [Lin Songyue, the deceased] also chose to end his life on this day.

In addition… Bai You suddenly remembered something.

The password of [Zhao Xiangwen]’s mobile phone is also 1224. Could it be related to Lin Songyue?

“Where did you find the information sheet? Is there any for Zhao Xiangwen?”

Lin Sheng nodded, “Yes, but there is nothing special. I took a look and put it back. I’ll get it for you later.”

Bai You continued to read down and stopped at the relationship of Lin Songyue’s relatives.

[Father: Jiang Wenjie]

If she remembered correctly.

Zhao Xiangwen sent a text message to Jiang Wenjie.

It was already strange that he sent a message to the dean of teaching, not to mention that the dean of teaching was the father of [Lin Songyue, the deceased].

This made people have to make more associations.

“Here.”

Lin Sheng handed over Zhao Xiangwen’s information sheet and asked when she saw her frowning.

“Did you find anything?”

Bai You looked through Zhao Xiangwen’s message. His birthday was August 10th, and his phone number had nothing to do with 1224.

Then there are two possibilities.

One is that he just typed this string of numbers casually, which has no meaning.

The other is that he and Lin Songyue may have some relationship, a secret crush, or they are so close that they use each other’s birthday as a password.

Bai You is more inclined to the second one. She looked up and summarized the information she had learned to Lin Sheng.

“What do you think?”

“I can’t say I have any ideas.”

Lin Sheng hummed, “I think we still have too little information. These information are fragmented, and I always feel that they are related, but they can’t be connected together. If I guess blindly, the accuracy rate is too low.”

Speaking of this, he took out his identity card and took a look.

“The exploration degree is only 26%. Sure enough, there is still a lot of information that has not been found, and even the difficult tasks have not been unlocked.”

Bai You, who had no tasks at all, was silent for a while.

The player’s clearance condition is to complete the ordinary task within the specified time limit, and you can get a one-star ending.

Completing the difficult task is two stars, and the elite task is three stars.

So… she doesn’t have this task, how can she pass the dungeon?

Bai You sighed.

“Then let’s continue to look for information.”

As soon as the voice fell, the electronic bell suddenly came from outside the door. Because of the wall, it was a bit muffled.

“Ding-ling-ling…”

Lin Sheng looked over and asked curiously.

“What’s wrong? Why did the bell ring suddenly?”

Bai You looked at the clock on the wall, and the minute hand just jumped to 11:58, which was about to be twelve o’clock.

This is the school bell.

But why did it ring at this time?

Wait.

She suddenly remembered what Si Yu said.

[Time is almost up]

Is it referring to this?

The bell rang for a long time, and it rang for half a minute before stopping.

After a few seconds of silence, a mechanical sound that could be heard by the whole school suddenly sounded, cold and indifferent.

[The “Christmas Eve” exam is about to begin]

[Please prepare all candidates]

–

“The setting sun and the solitary wild goose fly together, the autumn water and the sky are the same color, and the fishing boat sings in the evening…”

“When Peng migrates to the South Sea, the water hits three thousand miles…”

The noisy and dense recitation sound constantly surrounds the ears, sometimes low, sometimes bright, entangled together, intermittent.

Bai You’s eyelids moved, and slowly opened her eyes.

The scene in front of her made her slightly startled.

The open Chinese textbook was placed on the table, and a middle-aged man with a half-bald head stood on the podium in front of him, about forty years old. His face was full of flesh, his thick blue-gray lips were tightly pursed, and his pair of squinting eyes under the thick lenses patrolled the class with sharp and sharp eyes.

When her eyes were about to sweep over Bai You, she quickly lowered her head and pretended to recite.

Just a minute ago, she was still in the dimly lit office, searching for information with Lin Sheng.

After the mechanical sound, a white light flashed, and they came here – a brightly lit classroom, surrounded by classmates who were reciting books with their heads down.

Lin Songyue’s name was on the textbook.

If she guessed correctly, this should be Class A of Senior Three, which is what the mechanical sound said about the [Christmas Eve Exam].

Just don’t know what the content of the exam is?

The classmates behind her whispered.

“When did Lao Jiang come? I was scared to death.”

“The classmate ran away halfway through. When he was patrolling, he saw that there was no one, so he came to check on the class.”

The bell for the end of the morning self-study class rang.

The middle-aged man knocked on the podium, and the recitation stopped.

“Let’s all go to eat.”

The students dispersed in a hurry, and the class became deserted in an instant.

The middle-aged man walked down from the podium and pointed at Bai You’s textbook, “Okay, stop reciting, let’s go.”

Bai You looked up, and the light tube above her head just shone on the middle-aged man’s glasses, which were all white, and she couldn’t see the emotions inside.

If she hesitated too long, she would be suspected. Bai You didn’t think too much. After responding, she stood up and followed the middle-aged man.

Along the way, students and teachers greeted him.

“Good morning, Teacher Jiang.”

“Good morning, Old Jiang!”

It turned out that he was the Dean of Education, Jiang Wenjie.

That is, Lin Songyue’s father.

But why do the two have different surnames? Is it the adoptive father? Or is there another reason?

Jiang Wenjie took her to the faculty lounge.

The iron door was rusty and the lock was not working. Jiang Wenjie pushed it hard for several times before it was pushed open. Finally, he heard a “click” sound, and the door lock seemed to be broken.

Bai You heard him sigh, but didn’t say anything.

The furnishings in the room were simple. There was a small blue iron bed against the wall, and the bedding on the bed was washed white. Two desks were placed side by side in the corner, with an induction cooker and a pot on top, and a hot water kettle on the corner.

This seemed to be the place where Jiang Wenjie ate and rested temporarily.

“What are you doing? Sit down.”

Bai You sat down as he was told.

Jiang Wenjie lifted the lid of the pot, and a ball of white hot steam immediately came out from it. He took out a bowl of millet porridge and two hot eggs and put them in front of Bai You.

The heat made his glasses foggy. He took them off and wiped them with a piece of toilet paper. Seeing that Bai You didn’t move, the fat on his face moved, and his tone was serious.

“Don’t you like it? Tell me, what’s good about those stalls outside? They are all food additives. Why do you like to eat that stuff?”

“…No.”

Bai You lowered his eyes, picked up the eggs and knocked them on the corner of the table, and began to peel them.

Seeing her eating, Jiang Wenjie’s expression was better. He put on his glasses and knocked on the table.

“How do you feel about studying recently?”

Bai You recalled that Lin Songyue ranked first in the monthly exam results bulletin board and nodded, “Very good. I asked the teacher if I didn’t understand anything.”

As the dean of teaching, Jiang Wenjie should also know Lin Songyue’s grades. Hearing her say this, his majestic face softened a little.

“Just ask the teacher. Remember, you can’t be too conceited when studying. Ask if you don’t understand. You will never learn well if you study hard.”

Bai You nodded obediently.

“Got it.”

Suddenly, a shadow came over her head. Bai You subconsciously dodged quickly and looked at him vigilantly.

Jiang Wenjie’s cracked and rough palm touched nothing and stopped in mid-air. The flesh on his face wrinkled. There was no blush on his dark skin, and he seemed to have an embarrassed expression.

Bai You was stunned.

Looking at his movements, did he want to pat her head?

“Hey, you eat here, I’ll go get a kettle of hot water.”

Jiang Wenjie stood up, picked up the kettle on the corner of the table and went out.

Bai You put down the eggs and lowered her eyelids to think.

Things didn’t seem to be as she imagined. Although Jiang Wenjie looked serious and fierce, his actions and words, such as heating her breakfast and asking about her study, were all normal. To her, it was just like a father taking care of his daughter.

Footsteps suddenly came from behind.

Hmm…?

She remembered that the place where she got hot water was not close to here. Was it so fast?

Or did Jiang Wenjie forget something?

Bai You thought so and just wanted to turn around to see what happened, when she suddenly heard the door behind her being closed.

And a slight locking sound.

“Click.”
