Hei Deng Xia Huo

Chapter 106 Middle School

次的剧本任务....

Li Ang felt a slight twinge in his teeth, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

The stranger and more inexplicable the mission prompt, the greater the difficulty of the mission.

He glanced at his two equally silent companions and said, "How should I address you two?"

The man in the blue and white checkered shirt pushed up his glasses and, without wasting words, directly revealed his player ID:

Grey Dove·Black Trojan Horse Lv8

Li Ang glanced at Trojan Horse's title and his standard programmer attire, and made no comment.

The plague doctor also revealed his ID:

Myo Shu Huichun·Plague Doctor Lv8

Oh, a familiar face.

Li Ang smiled and displayed his player title:

Manic Ripper·Li Risheng Lv8

The three Lv8 players looked at each other, all feeling immense pressure. These kind of team missions, where everyone's level is average and the difficulty is extremely high, were the most annoying.

Li Ang and Plague Doctor exchanged glances, and Li Ang said, "I'm sure you both heard the mission prompt. I wonder if you have any thoughts?"

"Hmm..."

Trojan Horse scratched his head and said, "Generally speaking, we players judge the difficulty of a mission based on the mission rewards, time limit, and failure penalty.

"But as far as I know, no player on the luntan has ever encountered a mission where the reward for completion is a bottle of life potion."

Li Ang nodded. "Due to the scarcity and preciousness of micro life potions, it's difficult for us to determine the specific difficulty of this mission. By the way, what was the mission prompt you heard just now?"

Plague Doctor gave Li Ang an almost imperceptible glance. Of course, he knew why Li Ang was asking.

Last time in Longheng Shopping Mall, a ghost disguised as a player almost wiped out the entire team.

They had to first clearly identify whether there were any hidden ghosts among the team members before they could relax.

Moreover, this kind of probing behavior could also identify traps in the system mission—what if the three players received different mission prompts?

Hearing Li Ang's request, Trojan Horse raised his eyebrows and said, "The first mission prompt I heard was a middle-aged man saying, 'Get me out of here.'"

With that, he closed his mouth and looked at Plague Doctor.

As an experienced programmer, Black Trojan Horse's intelligence was above average, and he understood Li Ang's intention after a little thought.

Probing naturally had to be mutual.

Plague Doctor met Trojan Horse's gaze and said calmly, "The second mission prompt I heard was an ethereal female voice saying, 'Where are you?'"

The three quickly checked all the mission information. After finding nothing abnormal, they all breathed a sigh of relief—there was no other way, players had to be so deceitful with each other.

"What we heard just now were seven different voices,"

Plague Doctor said, "Since the system's completion goal is 'solve seven paranormal events' rather than 'solve seven vengeful ghosts,'

"We might assume that the completion process doesn't necessarily require the use of force.

"We can solve paranormal events by solving riddles, analyzing causes of death, burning corpses, fulfilling the wishes of ghosts, and so on."

"That's right."

Black Trojan Horse nodded and said, "In addition, the time limit given by the system is 'none,' which is likely a trap.

"There may be some hidden conditions behind it,

"Such as 'ghosts will be released at night,'

"Or 'the difficulty of the mission will increase over time, to the point where players absolutely cannot complete it.'"

Li Ang picked up the thread, "Looking at it this way, the failure penalty of 'none' isn't a good thing either.

"Once the mission is not completed, the player will die,

"Or even be trapped here forever, accompanied by ghosts.

"In this case, there is naturally no need to add a failure penalty."

After an analysis, the three only felt that the road ahead was bleak.

"Phew..."

Plague Doctor sighed, looked at the sky, and said, "The top priority is to first find out where we are now."

"That's easy."

Li Ang took out a recently purchased Da Jiang drone from his inventory and connected it with a dedicated remote control.

Under the control, the drone flew into the sky, seemingly slowly but actually quickly. Plague Doctor and Black Trojan Horse both came over, looking at the screen in Li Ang's hand.

The drone's perspective continued to zoom out, and the three people standing on the playground gradually became as small as ants.

The school covered a very large area, with basketball courts, tennis courts, and a swimming pool, all complete. There were fourteen buildings in total, some old and some new.

The entire school was in the shape of a square, and the outside of the school wall was planted with a circle of green coniferous trees.

No matter how the Da Jiang drone adjusted its lens, it could not see the scenery outside the wall of trees—the outside was shrouded in an extremely dense grayish-white mist.

Li Ang controlled the drone to continue rising until it reached an altitude of more than two thousand meters, but he still could not see any color other than the thick fog.

This school seemed like an isolated island, forever isolated.

Li Ang silently controlled the drone to slowly descend and fly near the school gate.

Next to the flower bed at the school gate stood two steel signboards. One signboard wrote the school's various information,

And the other had a map of the entire school.

Li Ang glanced at the sign and said, "This school is called Cimu Middle School. The junior high school and high school departments are together. It has a long history and has cultivated many outstanding talents. It is quite famous."

"Cimu?"

Trojan Horse frowned and said, "Is this in Japan?"

"Not necessarily." Li Ang sneered, "There have been many examples on the luntan where the background of a script mission coincides almost completely with modern times,

"But after careful investigation, it was found that this is just a parallel world with a very high degree of similarity.

"And according to the gray smoke outside the school, we may not even be in the world of the living anymore."

Plague Doctor shook his head and said in a deep voice, "In short, don't bring some inherent common sense here. We need to be careful about any disturbance."

Li Ang controlled the drone and pointed the camera at the map.

Cimu Middle School has twelve buildings,

Among them, three are teaching buildings: Building 1 is the International Department [3 floors], Building 2 is the Junior High School Department [4 floors], and Building 3 is the Senior High School Department [5 floors].

A three-story canteen [the first floor is the junior high school canteen, the second floor is the senior high school and international department canteen, and the third floor is the teacher's canteen],

Two dormitories,

An administration building for the principal, director, and important teachers to work

A comprehensive building with a library, reading room, computer room, and information center.

A report hall that can accommodate more than 300 people for lectures.

A three-story sports building with a built-in basketball court, climbing room, and table tennis room.

An art building with a dance studio, painting studio, and piano room.

An innovative laboratory building with a chemical laboratory, biological laboratory, physics laboratory, observatory, etc. There are also solar panels on the roof.

The remaining two old buildings are a school hospital and a club activity building.
