The time soon came to eleven o'clock in the evening. In order to prevent the two of them from falling asleep due to the inexplicable sleepiness, Jian Yao specially drank a bottle of sober coffee for herself. For this reason, their entire faces
They all wrinkled up in pain.
"Are you afraid of bitterness too?" Jian Yao opened her mouth, only to feel that her mouth was filled with a taste that was so bitter that it penetrated her soul, and a splash of bitter coffee appeared in her eyes.
Wujiu's condition wasn't much better, and he swallowed the coffee with a bitter look on his face.
It was already past eleven o'clock, and the original incandescent lamp in the corridor no longer glowed for some reason. The entire dormitory building fell into darkness for a while, and only the light from the flashlight in Jian Yao's hand could be seen.
Perhaps because of the night, the temperature in the stairwell leading to the fourth floor was much lower than during the day. Jian Yao could feel the slightest hint of cold air lingering from the ground up.
The stairwell was so quiet that only their footsteps could be heard.
After arriving on the fourth floor, the light of the flashlight shone directly to the end of the corridor. A black-haired girl in school uniform was standing in the darkness with her back to them.
After the girl's back was illuminated by the light of the flashlight, she slowly turned around as if she had just awakened from the solid darkness.
Her face is consistent with the appearance of the weird students Jian Yao has seen, with a white complexion, pure black eyes that are much larger than ordinary people, and a stiff and rigid smile.
She raised her slender fingers and pointed to the dormitory room that Jian Yao had entered during the day.
"Mirror, go look in the mirror."
This dormitory is no different from what it was during the day. The only difference is that there is a rectangular mirror on the original wall of different colors, and the white light of the flashlight is strongly reflected on it.
"This mirror didn't exist during the day. Could it be that it would appear after eleven o'clock at night?" Wu Jiu said while holding a flashlight.
Jian Yao stood in front of the mirror, but the image reflected in the mirror was not her appearance in the thriller game, nor her appearance in the real world, but the appearance of a strange girl.
In the mirror, her long black bangs almost covered her eyes, and there were thick dark circles under her eyes. Other than that, her skin color, eyes, and smile were the same as those of the weird student.
So, is this her true appearance in this copy? Or is it how she looks in Weigui's eyes?
And Wujiu's appearance in the mirror was also weird, like a girl's, with lifeless eyes, as if she was looking at the player outside the mirror.
The girl who was originally standing at the end of the corridor also walked in and stood in front of Jian Yao and Wu Jiu. What was reflected in the mirror was a girl wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown. She looked different from what she looked like outside the mirror.
She has short hair, a pale but still human-like skin color, and her eyes are of normal size.
Jian Yao and Wu Jiu watched helplessly as the girl in front of them changed their appearance with the girl in the mirror.
"Did you give that note during the day? How much do you know about this place?" Jian Yao asked.
The girl smiled and said: "Not only the note during the day, but the note stuffed into your dormitory the night before yesterday was also given by me."
"You should have gone to the rooftop on the seventh floor. You must have seen that there is nothing outside the school. Our current world is not the real world, but I don't know whether this is a dream world or a world of life and death.
the boundaries of.”
Jian Yao secretly thought, and sure enough, what the girl in front of her said confirmed her previous suspicion, and also showed that at least the girl was not lying.
"I didn't notice anything was wrong at first. I felt that life was just like normal. Transfer students basically disappeared and another batch came immediately. Until one day... I got a note given to me by others.
."
That day was an extremely ordinary day for her, but it was also an important turning point that changed her destiny.
When she returned to the dormitory from the cafeteria, she found a crumpled piece of paper in her school uniform pocket, with a line of beautiful handwriting on it, which said, "Recall the events of that day, wake up quickly."
When she saw the note, she felt a strange feeling in her heart. For the first time, she felt that her current life was strange. Her subconscious kept telling her that it shouldn't be like this, and that she shouldn't go back to it again.
This is the right place.
Her consciousness gradually became clearer with the note from that day, but she still couldn't remember anything other than her here.
Even though she knew clearly that she did not belong here, she could not escape. She tried to find the person who gave her the note that day, but found that that person had been taken into the solitary room and had completely forgotten everything when he came out.
things.
She also tried to reach the full score of "excellent", but found that after reaching the perfect score, she would return to the time when she was only ten points short of it.
The teachers and classmates around her were like monsters, and they would drag her into the solitary room if she showed the slightest hint of weakness.
She couldn't find any companions, so she could only place her hope on the new transfer students. However, she also discovered that once the transfer students were deducted points or put in a solitary room, they would all transform into monsters to varying degrees.
Look.
She knew that relying solely on transfer students was of no use, she had to take risks to find the truth.
And it wasn't until some time ago when she came to the rooftop and looked into the distance that she confirmed that this was not the real world and that she couldn't leave it in a normal way. At the same time, she remembered her lost memories.
The girl opened her arms and made a gesture like a bird flying in the air. Her posture was graceful but sad.
"I don't want to be a little nightingale in a cage that can only sing people's favorite tunes. What I want to be is a bird that can soar freely in the sky."
There was a layer of sadness in her eyes, blurring the color in her eyes.
"If I had known that I would be back in this hell when I opened my eyes again..."
The girl retracted her arm and closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she looked at Jian Yao firmly: "You are the most special one among all the transfer students I have ever met. I think you might be able to give this piece of
What a difference a dark sky brings.”
Jian Yao doesn't understand why the girl in front of her chooses to trust a stranger. Maybe she knows that her own power is too weak, or maybe she knows that this may be the closest she gets to hope.
She responded to the girls' expectations and said with a smile: "I know, our goal is the same, graduate from here and then leave."
