[Teacher Qi’s current status has changed: he committed suicide by drowning in the bathroom and gained a new life]

[Attention! The incident of "the death of a young man exiled to the staff dormitory of No. 1 Middle School" has been erased]

[Please complete the dungeon mission as an intern teacher Qi and actively integrate into the campus life and work of "Exile No. 1 Middle School"]

At the same time, the strong sense of suffocation and the continuous tearing feeling in the chest gradually lessened and disappeared.

Qi Jiu gradually recovered from the pain of drowning. When he opened his eyelids, his vision was still a little blurry. The sound of splashing water continued. He calmed down and found that he was soaking in a bathtub full of water.

inside.

His wet hands were resting on the edge of the bathtub, and the mobile phone that had originally fallen into the trash can was now in his hand.

It was as if he really took a bath in the bathtub and fell asleep because it was so comfortable.

The system begins to import the "Exile No. 1 Middle School" copy background——

["Exile No. 1 Middle School" is a closed boarding school that has admitted a large number of "problem students". Due to special reasons, the school moved from the central section of Tongshi to the suburbs twenty years ago. The new school location is remote and has inconvenient transportation.

But it can help the school better manage these problem students, regulate the behavior of problem students, and reduce the harm caused by the school's students to society. However, in recent years, various shocking and strange stories have been circulated in the "Exile No. 1 Middle School", and teachers in the school have disappeared

Deaths occur frequently...]

Qi Jiu frowned. He didn't need the support of ghost stories. The existence of this school was shocking enough.

Closed boarding colleges for "problem students" sound weird.

Does the "exile" in "Exile No. 1 Middle School" mean those students were exiled here?

So the original owner of his identity couldn't stand the bullying of problem students and chose to commit suicide?

This inference seemed quite reasonable, but Qi Qiu's intuition and judgment told him that the matter was definitely not as simple as the background description.

[Dungeon main quest: not unlocked]

[Travelers are invited to unlock the exploration level of the dungeon and start their own main quest]

"My own main mission?" Qi Jiu looked confused, and he confirmed with the system again, "In other words, the main missions of the players this time are likely to be different?"

[Your understanding is correct] The system will answer with certainty.

It seems that this dungeon is a bit special. It is neither like "Rose Fish Can", which gives players the same survival time limit, and then sets up "pseudo" obstacles to compete with each other; nor is it like "404 Hot Spring Street", which requires all players to work together to discover the story background.

The truth, to prevent the curse from happening.

Qi Jiu thought of another possibility. Perhaps his dungeon identity was special, so the tasks to be unlocked were different from those of other players...

At this moment, the screen of the mobile phone Qi Jiu held in his hand suddenly lit up.

"You have received an email from the Faculty and Staff Dormitory Office of "Exile No. 1 Middle School", please check it immediately"

Qi Jiu immediately clicked on the unread email——

"Dear Teacher Qi, thank you for choosing our school. In order for you to have a good and safe accommodation experience, please strictly abide by the following accommodation rules:

1. Regardless of whether people are in the staff dormitory or not, please keep the candle light in the shrine always on and never cut off the power supply;

2. You may hear knocks on the door at night. They may be students coming for help, or they may be something else, but please remember, do not believe the words of the knocker, and do not open the door under any circumstances;

3. In principle, it is prohibited to go out after nightfall;

4. Please be sure to obey the school’s arrangements unconditionally. Even if the school’s arrangements conflict with the above rules, they must be implemented;

Thank you again for joining the faculty and staff of "Exile No. 1 Middle School". I hope you will carefully read and recite the accommodation rules for faculty and staff, and wish you a sweet dream."

When Qi Kui saw the fourth rule, he suddenly had a bad feeling...

Whatever he said, he was about to get up from the bathtub after checking the "Accommodation Rules" when the sudden ringing of his cell phone almost startled him.

It was a call from the dean.

But it is already 11:30 in the evening, and it is quite rude to make a work call to a subordinate at this time.

It seems that the intern teachers in this school have no private time at all...

"Hello, what can I do for you?" Qi Jiu answered the phone.

"Teacher Qi, I suddenly have an urgent matter here, and I need to arrange for you to complete it." There was a middle-aged man's voice on the other end of the phone. His tone did not apologize for disturbing others late at night, and it sounded like giving orders as a matter of course.

Qi Jiu, who was holding the mobile phone, raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh, tell me."

"I received a notice that a group of new students will enter the school tomorrow, so tonight I need to arrange for you to go on patrol in the teaching building to ensure that there will be no accidents during tomorrow's freshman entrance ceremony," the dean suddenly smiled sinisterly, "

After all, you also know the tradition of our school. On the night before the new students enter the school, the teaching building cannot be less 'popular'."

At the same time, the system made a "ding" sound——

[Dear traveler, you have successfully triggered the side mission "Teaching Building Night Watch*1 Night". The side mission comes with risks and benefits, please consider it carefully before accepting it]

[Reward for completing side mission: 500 coins]

[With bonus props: to be unlocked]

Qi Jiu pursed his lips and asked half-jokingly: "So can I choose not to take it?"

The system was stuck for two seconds [Sorry, it doesn’t seem possible]

Qi Jiu smiled: "I understand."

"No problem, how to arrange the night watch period?" Qi Jiu asked the dean.

Although the dean's legitimate tone made him dissatisfied, Qi Kui knew very well that the benefits obtained from completing side tasks were not only survival coins, but the greater value was that side plots could often uncover hidden clues.

So he had no reason to refuse.

"The night patrol period you are responsible for is from 0:00 to 4:00 in the evening. The location is the teaching building area. Please don't miss the time. You can go back to the dormitory to rest after 4:00." The dean replied, "I will give it to you later.

You sent an email with precautions for night patrol, remember to check it."

Qi Jiu: "Okay, I understand, thank you."

It's 11:35 at night.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Jiu immediately stood up from the bathtub. While changing into his work uniform, he began to sort out the clues at hand——

1. My identity in this dungeon is that of a trainee teacher. What about the other players? Are they the freshmen mentioned by the dean on the phone just now? So have I entered the dungeon before other players?

2. In this dungeon with the theme of a boarding school for "problem students", are the positions of students and teachers opposed?

3. What is going on with the headless statue enshrined on the shrine next to the dormitory door? What is the connection between its existence and this "problem university"?

4. What is the connection between the "horrible stories" mentioned in the background introduction and the "problem universities" themselves?

Although there are currently very few known clues, Qi Ku is used to sorting out and summarizing his questions, which is more conducive to systematic thinking and easier to find connections between clues.

Often the rope that connects the clues is the core plot line of the dungeon.

Soon, a new email notification flashed on the phone screen:

"Hello, Teacher Qi, in order to welcome the new students in the morning to enroll smoothly, we will arrange for you to go to the teaching building for night patrol from 0 to 4 o'clock tonight. During the night patrol, please pay attention to the following matters:

1. Night patrol teachers are requested to keep quiet at all times. Please do not wear high heels when patrolling the night. Try to wear sponge-soled soft shoes that make less noise;

2. There will be no students wandering around the teaching building after dark. If you see them during night patrol, please keep quiet and leave immediately, and inform the security personnel of what you see;

3. All doors and windows in the teaching building have been closed and locked. Night watch teachers must not open any classroom doors or windows without authorization;

4. Once a classroom door is found to open automatically, the night watch teacher should immediately stop and stand and wait. Do not run away blindly or make a loud noise. If the door does not close for a long time, please wish yourself good luck if you are still alive.

, please inform the security personnel afterwards;

5. If there is a situation where ghosts break into the wall in the teaching building, please immediately self-mutilate and bleed to protect yourself;

6. If you encounter any suspicious situations during the night patrol, please make a report after completing the night patrol;

7. The night watch teacher’s equipment (knife, flashlight) is placed at the security window on the first floor of the staff dormitory, please pick it up yourself;

Please strictly abide by the above regulations and start the night patrol on time. Thank you for your hard work."

Qi Jiu: "..."

This is a night watch code that is very unfriendly to faculty and staff. The rules even use words such as "seeking blessings for oneself" and "self-harming and bleeding to protect oneself". This shows that the working environment of the faculty and staff in this school is worrying, and it can even be said that

, the school has completely disregarded the life and death of its faculty and staff.

That’s why, as mentioned in the background introduction, there are frequent disappearances and deaths of teachers in schools...

Qi Chu studied these rules with concentration. There is no doubt that the most dangerous one is the fourth rule, because the description of "asking for one's own blessings" is tantamount to having no solution.

Therefore, if the door that is forced open is not closed for a long time, it means death, then wouldn't it be better to find a way to make the door close by itself?

Moreover, these rules seem to be aimed at the night watch teacher. Can it be broken if the identity is changed?

Also, the solution given in the seventh rule is "self-mutilation and bleeding for self-protection", so the purpose of self-mutilation is probably to obtain "blood", but thinking about it conversely, self-mutilation is not the only way to obtain "blood"

Well.

Qi Jiu suddenly had a "dangerous" plan...

"Hello, I have received the email about the night watch precautions." Qi Jiu pressed his cell phone to call back and took the initiative to talk to the dean. "I have no problem with the night watch, I just have a rude request."

The dean's tone was not very patient: "Is there any problem? Just tell me."

Qi Jiu smiled apologetically: "I have a habit of eating late night snacks when I work the night shift. Can you provide me with a meal on duty? Otherwise, if I am hungry, I may not be able to work well."
