When the beauty of cultivation enters the infinite live broadcast
Chapter 51: Fool's Carnival 6 (Dream Painting)
Rather than the love story between Teacher Xu and Huang Youde, they cared more about the set of bookmarks that had not yet been collected.
When they returned to the dormitory building, they found that the iron gate was locked and both dormitory buildings were closed.
When Lian Wu wanted to touch the iron door, the system prompt sounded.
The Chaoyang High School dormitory area has been cordoned off.
Hua Meng was not surprised by this. "It's a normal phenomenon. On the day of the April Fool's Carnival, some areas of the dungeon will be temporarily blocked. Usually, the restrictions will be lifted at night."
"Being blocked means there will be a bloody battle here."
Feng Ling had long heard of the excitement of the Fool's Carnival, the unfamiliar territory, the subverted rules, and the ghosts with greatly enhanced strength.
"Yes, according to previous statistics, the death rate in the blockaded areas has remained high. In those unblocked areas, there will be opportunities to obtain a large number of props. This is what the dungeon has prepared for players. For players with low points and props, the opportunity to obtain props during the day must be seized."
Lian Wu asked doubtfully, "But I see many players haven't challenged much."
"That's because they don't know what they'll face tonight. They haven't experienced it, so they naturally don't understand the horror of the carnival. They just think today is their day of freedom."
Since they couldn't go to the dormitory building, they decided to go to the canteen. Although it was not the canteen's business hours, they still wanted to see what the canteen was like when it was closed.
They followed the same path as last night, but this time they didn't need Hua Meng to lead the way for them from above.
The scenery along the way did not change at all, but when we arrived at the place where the convenience store was supposed to be, we found that there was only a huge banyan tree there, and there was no sign of the convenience store anywhere.
There are many aerial roots on the huge banyan tree, and a huge hole has formed at the bottom, which contains thick incense ash and some yellow paper that has not been completely burned.
"So, such a big banyan tree, no one has discovered it before?"
Lian Wu was a little suspicious whether he was blind. The height of this banyan tree was obviously much taller than other trees, and the area covered by its canopy was also very large, but they had not noticed it before.
"It must be a trick. You have to follow a specific path to see the banyan tree."
This time they came here based on the guidance of the lights last night instead of taking a shortcut.
Without completing this prerequisite, they probably wouldn't have been able to find the banyan tree at all.
There were some things hanging on the branches of the banyan tree. Lianwu climbed up to the first branch of the banyan tree in just three or two steps. Just one branch was thicker than Lianwu's waist and could steadily bear his weight.
Lian Wu reached out and took an item, but found that he didn't recognize it, so he threw it directly to Hua Meng and Feng Ling under the tree.
The two of them watched as a white object fell down. When they took a closer look, they saw it was a badminton.
Feng Ling, Hua Meng: ………Six.
There were quite a few things on the tree, including several badmintons, school uniforms, towels, socks, etc. that had been blown down by the wind.
Although other people cannot see this banyan tree, it does not mean that it does not exist. Therefore, students often find that after a heavy rain, the clothes they hung outside and forgot to collect are lost, and they cannot find them no matter how hard they look.
Among the pile of lost items, Lian Wu finally found something different.
A red sachet was obviously tied to it instead of dropped on it.
After getting the sachet, Lian Wu jumped directly down from the tree. The moment his feet touched the ground, dust rose up.
White fingers opened the sachet, revealing no spices or petals inside, but a torn love letter.
They found a relatively flat surface and poured out the fragments to piece them together.
The protagonists in the story are Bai Yuanyuan and Zhou Yuan.
The person who wrote the love letter was Zhou Yuan. It expressed Zhou Yuan's love for Bai Yuanyuan, praised Bai Yuanyuan madly, and made many promises.
Everything else is normal in a love letter, except for one strange thing in this promise.
"I will build our love nest forever with you, and neither of us can live without the other. If you betray me, you will be doomed forever and will never be able to escape rebirth."
The more Feng Ling read, the more disgusted he became. "I remember this person was a liberal arts student, right? How come his writing is so hard to describe?"
"Are all the love letters here written so strangely?"
No matter how Lian Wu looked at it, she felt that this was not a normal letter that should be written to someone she loved.
There was something fishy about Bai Yuanyuan, and it looked like Zhou Yuan was no ordinary person either. There was no sign of either of them in the school, but information about them was everywhere.
Hua Meng asked many classmates, and almost everyone knew about this couple. The reason they became famous was that after being discovered, they ignored school rules and refused to break up, especially Bai Yuanyuan. As a top student that the teachers highly regarded, her attitude was so firm that she was almost willing to drop out of school.
This incident caused a lot of uproar in the school at first. Later, when the disappearance happened, everyone felt sorry for them, but as time went by, they gradually forgot about it.
It seems that the love letter may have been the reason why Bai Yuanyuan was so unwilling to break up. Is breaking up considered betrayal?
"Didn't that figure earlier say that Bai Yuanyuan had a lover? Doesn't that mean Bai Yuanyuan betrayed Zhou Yuan?"
Although Lian Wu didn't quite believe what the figure said, he could still guess some of the information.
That boy may not be Bai Yuanyuan’s secret lover, but the fact is that the figure was killed. Under normal circumstances, two students would not join forces to kill another student. There must have been a contradiction and conflict between them.
The fan that the figure identified as the murder weapon is still in their hands, and the figure is staying in the classroom obediently. They can find him to verify it at any time if they want.
What's left on this banyan tree is basically garbage, and Feng Ling has already observed the incense ash in the tree hole. There is nothing strange about it, and there are no special labels on the remaining yellow papers.
"Burning incense in the tree holes is mostly for praying, but most students still worship the statue of Confucius. Before exams, they place offerings under the statues of other famous people. I don't think those who come here to burn paper are praying, but repenting."
Not to mention that lighters are not allowed in school, even if students want to pray, they generally don't choose to burn incense. Hanging a prayer sign on a tree or tying a red rope is more normal than this.
Burning paper under a tree hole can easily set the tree on fire if you are not careful.
Rather than praying for blessings, their act of burning paper under the tree is more like coming out to pay tribute to others in the dead of night, or repenting for doing something wrong.
"Who do you think is burning the paper?"
Hua Meng turned his head and asked Lian Wu, it was obvious that he had the answer in his mind.
"From what I can tell, the person who discovered the banyan tree was probably Bai Yuanyuan or Zhou Yuan, and the person who burned the paper was most likely one of them. As for the act of shredding the love letter, I think it's more likely Zhou Yuan than Bai Yuanyuan."
Hua Meng nodded, and continued to interact with the barrage.
"Okay, this round of betting is over. Zhou Yuan is the final answer for this round. Now, let's start the second round of betting. Let's bet on whether this person's final identity is indeed Zhou Yuan. Everyone, place your bets now."
The comments in the live broadcast room were flashing rapidly, and soon the bets on Zhou Yuan far exceeded those on the other side.
"When did the bet start?"
Feng Ling remembered that Hua Meng had always been in front of him, and he had never seen him interact with the barrage, so how come he suddenly started a gambling game?
"It was already open when I saw the love letter. I contacted the system to send me the details of the bet. The bet was on Lian Wu's choice."
Hua Meng would not miss any opportunity to earn a lot of points, and setting up a gambling game could also attract more spectators. Otherwise, the few points he got from clearing the copy would not be able to support his extravagant spending.
"The deadline for this bet is 12: tonight. I will lock the prize pool at that time. Please consider carefully before placing your bet."
Hua Meng had already earned tens of thousands of points in the last bet, and this time the amount would be no less.
Lian Wu didn't mind that the other party started the game with him. In Lian Wu's eyes, he still owed Hua Meng 20 points, and this bet was just a partial repayment.
"Let's go. There's probably no clues left in this place. Let's go to the playground and get some props."
By the time they arrived at the playground, the players who were originally scattered had formed gangs again. Originally, there were mostly teams of three or two, but now there was a team of seven.
Feng Ling immediately spotted several familiar faces in the group of seven, the two female players from the same class, and the brother and sister from the next class. The remaining three were the cowards who were following them.
These people actually got together.
In addition to them, Li Qu and the tragically dead female player, the remaining three people also formed a team.
While Lianwu and the others were exploring the banyan tree, a conflict seemed to have occurred between the group of seven and the group of three, as they were competing for the reward for a challenge.
The members of the trio also looked familiar; they were the ones I'd seen on the rooftop. The boy who'd been gossiping to Feng Ling was clearly the leader, and the two central figures in the gossip were somehow dating again, arm in arm, looking incredibly affectionate.
"Why do those two seem to be together? Weren't they fighting before?"
Lian Wu was also shocked by the people in front of him.
"No, the numbers don't match. We encountered several people on the rooftop. Now let's count carefully. There are only 15 players in this dungeon. Two of them are almost certainly dead. There are seven of us, two of us are rumored to be involved, and one is involved in gossip. So, were those people around this gossip guy actually players?"
After Feng Ling listed them one by one, Hua Meng and Lian Wu looked at Bagua Ge differently. It was really amazing that he could create so many players out of thin air.
Hua Meng frantically searched her mind for players with this ability. A puppet, a stand-in? Or perhaps an item effect?
After much thought, the only player who is free during this period and can achieve the above ranking is No. 17 on the ranking - Earthworm.
Earthworm is just the system title that person got, and his real name has long been erased.
"Earthworm, how come you have time to come to this dungeon?"
Hua Meng smiled and flew towards the earthworm. As an intellectual player, she was not afraid of him at all.
Instead, the earthworm took a step back warily. He didn't know how Hua Meng recognized him, and he still wanted to play dumb at this moment.
"Master Huameng, did you recognize the wrong person? Who is Earthworm?"
"Stop pretending, earthworm. Just count the number of players carefully and you'll know it's you, right?"
Not only did Hua Meng not feel any loss, but she even flew around them in a flying vehicle.
"Excuse me, Master Huameng and I are in the same dungeon. I really didn't expect that. I originally thought that this dungeon would be crowded, so I could show off my skills and get a rating, but I didn't expect to run into you. It seems that my rating will not be able to go up again."
Earthworm himself lowered his posture. In fact, judging from the outside world's current assessment of their fighting power, Earthworm's fighting power would be much higher than Huameng's, because no audience has ever seen Huameng use force to solve others. Most of the time he just throws props.
However, those who are at the top of the list must never underestimate Hua Meng. Hua Meng has too many cards up his sleeve. Even if he has no fighting power, he can escape from the encirclement of the crowd with only props.
Hua Meng's famous battle was a siege. In a large dungeon with 50 players, Hua Meng relied on his own strength to obtain key clues and misled many players.
Using anchor props, he shuttled among a group of players, many of whom were among the top 50 players in the leaderboard. At that time, Hua Meng was just a dark horse player who had just entered the top .
Hua Meng became the only winner in that copy and entered the top 20 of the leaderboard.
Earthworm was also in that dungeon and was one of the victims. However, he was considered lucky among the group. Although he failed to escape the dungeon, he received generous rewards, which helped him climb all the way to the 17th place.
Feng Ling had heard of all these things, so he was not worried about Hua Meng's safety at all.
Lian Wu felt that they were just temporary teammates, and that they would have almost nothing to do with each other after leaving the dungeon. He had no control over what Hua Meng did; as long as it didn't affect their chances of clearing the dungeon, he would let Hua Meng do whatever she wanted.
The seven members saw how familiar they were with each other and thought they were going to join forces, and suddenly a sense of crisis arose.
However, Hua Meng only went to greet them and then returned to her own team.
They did not interfere in the dispute between the two teams, but found a deserted booth far away to do the challenge.
Seeing them leave, the seven people immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Did you drop anchor?"
Feng Ling felt that with Hua Meng's way of doing things, he would not be so idle as to provoke the earthworms.
"Well, the couple was wary, but not too much. We placed an anchor point for each of them as they circled. They were pretending to be students in a school, yet they dared to hug each other so openly. If they were locked up in the disciplinary room, it would be much easier to just pass the anchor point there."
Hua Meng's operation attracted a large number of audiences. Some of them came to learn the technique, but they found that they did not have enough skills to learn it. After taking a few glances, they left in a hurry.
The number of people in the live broadcast room fluctuated greatly, but Hua Meng didn't care at all. After all, the main source of his points was still in the gambling pool.
