dramatic death

At 18:52 in the evening, the soft sun at dusk diffused through the cold windows in the corridor, and drenched the clean floor under Yintong's feet.

He stood a few steps away from the activity classroom, looked over Tong Shuyao in front of him, and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar boy in the setting sun from afar.

He still remembered the last time he met An Qi.At that time, he was eager to showdown with Christie, desperately jumping repeatedly within the little girl's tolerance range, An Qi was like a grenade delivered to the door, whichever way it was thrown, it would be effective in a short time.

The more Christie disliked him, the more he thought of ways to increase An Qi's presence.The last close contact between the two of them was still on a video call. In order to escape from Christie's control, Yintong only talked about sensitive topics to add chips to himself. An Qi didn't know whether he understood or not. Sitting obediently opposite the light screen, he was extremely obedient.

He didn't ask anything, just repeated one sentence from beginning to end.

"Tongtong, I will never lie to you."

Yin Tong thought, isn't it?You kid never lied to me, you just thought of a way to change the topic, and when you asked urgently, you avoided talking about it, as if someone was bullying you.

He wanted to laugh when he thought of An Qi's pitiful appearance at the beginning, but when he looked up and saw the young boy a few steps away, he couldn't be serious anymore.

At this time, An Qi looks younger than in the future, with richer expressions and sharper momentum.He stood at the door of the activity room, shifted his gaze from Yintong to Tong Shuyao, and said, "Mr. Tong, are you also here to attend the meeting? But there seems to be something wrong with the activity room. The teacher who opened the door just now asked I can’t find the key, so I said I’m going downstairs to borrow one.”

"Really, that's really too bad," Tong Shuyao shook his head regretfully, with the expression on his face as if he found that the time limit for the redemption ticket had expired.His gaze crossed the closed door of the activity room and stayed on An Qi's smoky eyes, and he said: "But classmate An misunderstood, the teacher didn't come to your meeting, the teacher just chatted with classmate Yin for a while, Just on the way, come and have a look."

An Qi glanced across Yin Tong beside Tong Shuyao, showing a slightly curious expression.He said: "What are the teacher and Tongtong discussing? Is there a final exam for a while?"

Tong Shuyao was so teased by him that he shook his head, he said: "My friend An Qi'an, the teacher looks so like a person who can cook?"

An Qi smiled, and said, "Yes, the teacher seems to take special care of Tongtong."

That's the wrong way to say it.Yintong thought.An Qi's caring doesn't sound like serious caring. Based on his understanding of this person, there may be several twists and turns hidden in it.

He stood behind Tong Shuyao, thinking that if he didn't say anything, the two of them would fight forever.However, in his impression, Tong Shuyao didn't speak so eccentrically, he was always lazy, pretending to know nothing, and he knew better than anyone else.Why on earth did he fight An Qi?Just because this kid transferred schools early?

That's right, Yintong has basically straightened out the current plot time.He estimated that the time of this incident was definitely not far from the few letters he received, that is to say, it was not long before Tan Xiao jumped off the building, and An Qi had just enjoyed a wave of intravenous injections in the school hospital. The people have been changed, and everyone is now a grasshopper on the same rope.

It's a pity, he should have asked Tong Shuyao in advance what the name of the later transfer student was.

Yin Tong didn't speak, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.He thought that he should ask a few more questions at the beginning, at least to confirm the reason why An Qi sent him the letter.

——Why did he tear up the diary and send it to me?Is he really just looking for approval?

——The things he wrote must have been reviewed by many parties before reaching my hands.May I venture a guess, then, that those letters were not addressed to me in the first place?

——or rather, it wasn’t just written for me.

Yin Tong frowned, and the toe of the shoe moved half a step forward.He still remembered that he was in a copy of the horror game, and he might GG at any time because of his indolence.

The sky outside the corridor has gradually sunk into the night at a speed visible to the naked eye. If he cannot enter the activity room at this time, according to the law of death in horror games, the chance of encountering accidents in the corridor is almost as high as 100%.

He hasn't found the save point yet, so he hangs up like this, who knows where he will open his eyes next.

Yintong vaguely remembered what he heard after the novice teaching failed. He was desperate for the game rules that directly exit the current instance after reaching BadEnding, and he was in the state of dying, and the bug that could not confirm the option had occurred. dislike.

However, Hakoniwa Online doesn't even have a game panel, let alone a place to report bugs or write complaints.While thinking about it, he walked a few steps towards the door of the activity room, and vaguely felt that someone behind him wanted to reach out to hold him, but An Qi grabbed his wrist a second before turning his head back.

The blond boy stood in front of him, looking at Tong Shuyao behind him with smoky gray eyes, and said, "Teacher Tong is probably not in a hurry to get off work? Can I trouble you to wait here for a while, that one?" The teacher who went to get the key should be back soon."

"What about you?" Tong Shuyao asked, "Where are you going?"

"It's troublesome for Mr. Tong, we're going back to the dormitory now."

Tong Shuyao suddenly laughed, and he said, "Go back to the dormitory? Are you going to have a meeting?"

Yin Tong turned his head and saw An Qi looking directly at Tong Shuyao and smiling.

He shook his head, as if he had suddenly decided something.He said: "No, club meetings can be held at any time, there is no need to choose this day."

An Qi didn't pause at all after the voice fell, and pulled Yintong past Tong Shuyao who was standing there, and walked towards the stairs at the other end of the corridor.His hand slid across Yin Tong's wrist, sticking to his palm and inserting it between his fingers, the cool sweat permeated into his heart through the close skin, making Yin Tong shiver uncontrollably?

He suddenly realized that something was wrong, and turned his head to look at An Qi with his eyes widened.

The hand intertwined with his fingers was pressing the back of his hand three times with gentle force.

This is a secret signal between them, representing.

"I'm lying to you."

……

This code comes from the last letter Yintong received.

It was his last evening before he got into this bad game.At that time, he had just come out of the dessert house when he bumped into a reckless kid who not only brought a threatening declaration of crime, but also stuffed him with a crumpled letter.

"'You don't have to think about running away'," he said.

"Because you can't escape anymore."

That letter was in the same envelope as the seven he had received, but there was nothing written on the envelope, no sender, no signature, and the clean letter paper was crumpled like a discarded love letter. lump.

Yin Tong spread it out, carefully cut the edge, and found a small note in the opened envelope, which wrote the serial number and stop time of a suspended vehicle.

He thought it was the owner of the letter, a reminder from An Qi.

That night, he sat from the starting station to the final station of the suspension car, looking for clues on the car over and over again.He didn't find anything that could be called "abnormal", and he didn't find any hints and suggestions. He remembered the sentence "don't think about running away" left by the child, so that his feet seemed to take root, firmly bind him in place.

Until 18:45, the second hand completed the last step.

He heard a nursery rhyme.

He remembered the nursery rhyme.

He had heard this familiar melody countless times before being dug out of the dump by Christie.He remembered the overwhelming dusk and peaceful dreams, and he remembered that he leaned behind a half-open door and heard the people inside the door humming softly.

"London Bridge is falling down,

falling down, falling down."

"London Bridge is falling down,

my fair lady."

He sang it over and over again until Yin Tong's eyelashes drooped slightly and he almost fell asleep.He said: "Tongtong, I will never lie to you. If one day I have to lie, I will definitely remind you in another way."

"I'll hold your hand tightly and tap on your palm three times."

"Just pretend I'm saying 'sorry'."

Yin Tong raised his head and looked at An Qi's side face in shock.

He vaguely realized that something was wrong, not only Tong Shuyao's reaction, but also An Qi's words.The two of them seemed to have reached a consensus in front of him about something he didn't know, and they both chose to hide it from him.

This matter may be related to the new transfer student, it may be related to the club meeting, or to be more exaggerated, it may be related to this game copy.

Christie once said that Hakoniwa Online is a horror game that can support multiple people online at the same time.He always thought that multiplayer online meant that everyone could exchange clearance information with each other in places like the lounge. Why didn't he think that maybe this "multiplayer" refers to the same game played by multiple players at the same time.

They may play as NPCs.

It is also possible that he will play something that Yintong does not know.

The cold winter wind poured into the corridor from the half-opened window, and Yin Tong suddenly felt a chill rushing up his spine.He suddenly turned his head to look at the place he had walked, as if something was grabbing his shoulders and sticking to his back.

He saw the twilight setting and the setting sun like fire, Tong Shuyao was standing in the corridor outside the activity room with downcast eyes.He turned his head and looked at the direction where Yintong left, with half of his face covered in the setting sun, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly.

He seemed to smile.

Before Yin Tong could see clearly, he was staggered by An Qi in front of him. He didn't look back, but the hand holding Yin Tong was as tight as a towel.

The young man's low voice was like a clear spring in the mountains, echoing in the narrow and long stairwell, just like the gunfire at the beginning of the game.

He said, "Run."
