You Xi slowly approached the handprint from inside the crystal bubble, and at the same time reached out and wiped it. After confirming that the handprint was outside the bubble, he breathed a sigh of relief.

When I woke up, what was more terrifying than finding a bloody fingerprint outside the crystal bubble was naturally finding that the bloody fingerprint was not on the outside but on the inside.

Fortunately, that was just her guess, and this site has not reached the level of crazy difficulty.

After waking up, she couldn't sleep anymore. As usual, she took out the camping lantern and looked around the entire crystal bubble. After confirming that there were no other problems, she unsealed the bubble and climbed out carefully.

After briefly rinsing her mouth with mouthwash, she held a camping lantern and drank "refreshing tea" while tangled up in the bloody fingerprints outside the bubble.

If there was no such fingerprint, she would not have to climb out just now, she would just put the bubbles directly into the space door. Now, with such a bloody fingerprint on it, should she put the bubbles away or not?

If you don't collect it, if something weird gets on it later, will she be able to crawl in and sleep tonight?

You Xi suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder, and after staring at the handprint for a moment, he took out a bunch of things: camping lamp, disinfectant spray bottle, long-handled brush, concentrated laundry detergent... and started cleaning and disinfecting.

I don’t know why, but this handprint was particularly difficult to clean. She changed several types of laundry detergent, and finally used the “air stain separation liquid” that she bought at the “Fairy Tale Paradise” station. She washed it twice before thoroughly cleaning the blood stains.

Finally, she used the space door to form a stream of warm water in the water tank, washing away the crystal bubbles.

When she put the thoroughly washed crystal bubble into the space door, her phone vibrated.

Tip: The "Mark of Evil Thoughts" has been dispelled, the tracking state has been lifted, and the san value has been increased by 05.

You Xi looked at the words "mark of evil thoughts" and felt a sense of psychological discomfort. It seemed that the bloody handprint just now was not only a mark, but also had a tracking effect.

The thing didn't attack her last night, probably not because it didn't want to, but because it couldn't. It left a "mark" so that it could find her again today. Perhaps after being marked and being found a second time, the attack conditions would be fulfilled.

Now that the "mark" has been dispelled, the other party has to start all over again.

It seemed that she couldn't rest in the same place today and had to find a new place.

But right now, she has another urgent matter that she wants to solve. When I read horror stories in the past, the protagonists seemed to have no other needs except solving puzzles and escaping.

She wanted to keep everything simple, but even if the surroundings were as dark as this, she couldn't take out the portable toilet and use it directly. In the end, You Xi released the tree house, and after taking care of her physiological needs, she spent five minutes taking a bath.

bath.

As for the meal, she directly took out a tube of nutrient solution.

This was the first time she drank nutrient solution. It tasted a bit like the lactic acid bacteria she had drank before. After drinking it, her empty stomach filled up. She still felt a little miraculous when she thought that she would not feel hungry again for three days.

On the second day after being trapped in a dark abandoned building, You Xi's sanity level rose back to 18. She opened the team group, told her about "Awakening Tea" and "Mark of Evil Thoughts", and exchanged news with her friends.

She decided that she could not sit still and wait for death, so she decided to investigate the library building again, starting from the first floor.

The first floor is a high-ceilinged and open hall. In addition to the navigation desk at the middle door and the surrounding landscaping rest area, there are two room doors and an upward staircase on the left and right sides.

She also checked the doors of these four rooms yesterday. They should be the administrator's lounge and the newspaper room. The desks, cabinets, and shelves inside are the same as those on the upper floors. They are all empty. It seems that they were occupied before the building was completely closed.

The books and materials inside were cleared promptly.

Just like yesterday, inside the dark room door, the tables and chairs were overturned, and everything was covered with thick dust.

You Xi checked more carefully than yesterday, using the light of a flashlight to look at every place. She was also more cautious than yesterday. Occasionally she saw something left behind, but she would not reach out rashly, lest the sanity value would be lowered for no reason.

This is a library, so it is inevitable that there will be books and materials left behind. She tried it yesterday and found that all items that fit the library were fine. She felt that if she wanted to find clues and trigger prompts, then the target should be something that had nothing to do with the library.

There are even some unexpected objects.

According to this idea, the goal of the second inspection was clearer than the first inspection yesterday.

There is no problem with one layer.

The second and third floors were small reading rooms, somewhat similar to the classrooms she knew there, which was why she initially misunderstood that this was a teaching building.

It is still the long and dark corridor, with a reading room on one side and a wall on the other. The windows are at both ends of the corridor. They are tall European-style wooden framed windows with gray brick walls on the outside.

Probably because she calmed down this time and searched particularly carefully, she found an old brooch in the corner of the bookshelf in the small reading room in the second door on the left side of the second floor.

Because the brooch was dark, rusty and dusty, she didn't notice it yesterday.

You Xi was ready and reached out to pick up the brooch. It was a women's sun-shaped brooch. There were several depressions in the middle door, surrounded by curved silver ornaments, similar to the shape of the sun's rays.

The silver jewelry has completely turned black, and there should have been some inlaid gemstones or something like that in the depression, but now only a dull bright stone remains.

The remaining bright stone also fell loose as she took it.

She brushed off the dust from the silver under the middle door with her fingertips and saw the words written on it: Illuminati.

The action of taking the brooch did not cause the sanity value to decrease, nor did it trigger a prompt message, indicating that it was just an ordinary item. You Xi put the brooch back in the corner of the bookshelf and continued to look at other places.

Further forward, there are scorch marks on the wall on the other side, and many broken and charred books and papers are scattered on the ground. There must have been a small fire here, but the fire was extinguished before it spread.

She didn't reach out in this area because she triggered the san value reduction here yesterday, but did not trigger the prompt task.

Therefore, she judged that this place should be a purely negative area. When she carefully checked to see if there were any other clues, someone in the team group sent a message.

The person who sent the message was You Zhenzhen, saying that he had a fight with someone just after he got up.

You Zhenzhen: ...This site is very lacking in resources. Those passengers saw us yesterday and wrote down the building we entered. Today they thought they could kill us two and pick up our drops due to the large number of people.

, I didn’t expect that Sister Yatong and I would kill her in turn! Sister Yatong also got a ticket for one stop, which was like door-to-door delivery!

You Zhenzhen looked very happy and told them one by one about the drops they picked up. There were also item options such as "Awakening Tea". In addition, they also chose a puzzle piece.

She took a photo of the puzzle pieces and sent them to the group.

The picture was received very slowly. It wasn't until You Xi finished checking the reading room and was about to leave that the picture showed that it had been sent successfully.

The fragments were similar to the puzzle pieces she knew, but the whole was fan-shaped, the arc part was complete, and the straight parts on both sides had a concave bayonet, which meant that there were other fragments on both sides that could be spliced ​​with it.

The sector angle is about 120 degrees, so it can be inferred that as long as two more fragments are found, a complete circle can be obtained.

One side of the fragment is white and the other is black. The black side is faintly visible and seems to be the corner of some architectural figure. On the white side, there is an incomplete word "Dark 2". The word "Dark" is complete, and "2" is because the puzzle piece is incomplete.

It is complete so a small piece is missing, but it can still be identified.

Because it was an item dropped after killing the tourists, and it was not a prop, You Zhenzhen chose this fragment after discussing with Tang Yatong.

However, when the fragment message is currently displayed on the mobile phone, except for a "(1/3)" followed, no other prompts appear. They think they may need to find two other identical fragments to piece together a complete circular puzzle.

to find the answer.

It was already dawn over there, just like yesterday, it was a cloudy and sunny day, with the sun coming and going. Looking out the window, there were still no people in the campus. It was quiet everywhere, and it felt very depressing.

Probably because the methods of losing sanity are different, they did not receive similar prompts to You Xi after last night. Items and props that increase sanity may have to be obtained through other methods.

At the same time, they have also tried it. If they leave the room during the day, the sanitation level will not decrease, so they plan to take advantage of the day time to plan the campus areas they will visit today.

Finally, You Zhenzhen told her to be careful. After all, even her shield could not prevent the decrease of sanity. Those invisible things were non-physical, and the attacks were silent, so the investigation must be done.

cautious.

You Xi responded one by one. When he put away his phone and turned around to leave the reading room, he suddenly felt the vibration around him, like an earthquake, and the whole building seemed to be shaking.

But unlike an earthquake, only the building seemed to be shaking, and the tables, chairs, bookshelves, and cabinets in the building did not vibrate accordingly.

This feeling is like standing in a world inside a shell. Only the outer shell is shaking, but the world inside remains calm.

The shaking of the building lasted for about a minute, and the surrounding area became quiet again. You Xi vigilantly looked around with a flashlight to prevent any sudden strange attacks.

The light of the flashlight swept across the bookshelf on the opposite side. You Xi's eyes followed the light of the flashlight and passed there. Then, the light of the flashlight stopped, and her sight also stopped.

She slowly stepped forward, walked back to the bookshelf, and pointed the flashlight at the old sun brooch in the corner of the bookshelf.

Not long ago, she was looking at this brooch and accidentally knocked off the last decorative stone on it, and at the same time wiped off the dust on the silver jewelry below.

But now, the brooch is lying there quietly, covered with dust, and the only bright stone has returned to its original place.

A chill rose up from his back, and You Xi felt his scalp numb.

From just now to now, she was the only one in this small reading room with a dark door. Her senses were fully open the whole time, and she was alert to everything around her. Even if a small flying insect passed by, she could accurately sense it.

But in this case, something had been in the door just now, passed by her quietly, and restored the brooch to its original state.

She walked out of the reading room and stood in the dark corridor, taking out her phone to check her sanity. There was no change, it was still 18.

She was not attacked, but also received no prompts.

You Xi opened the team group and wanted to post the process of this incident in the group. While he was still typing, someone else had already sent a message.

Xiyuan: There was an earthquake just now! What happened! It woke me up!

It gets dark about five to six hours later than You Zhenzhen and Tang Yatong's place, so he goes to bed later.

Tang Yatong: It’s the same here! A very strange earthquake occurred. I felt vibrations and shaking, but the items and furnishings around me were not affected. It was like...

Tang Yatong seemed to be thinking of a suitable word to describe what just happened. When You Xi saw this, she deleted the words she originally typed and continued her message.

You Xi: It's like being in a world inside a shell. Only the shell is vibrating and shaking, and it doesn't affect the world inside, right?

You Zhenzhen: Yes, yes! That’s it! It’s so weird. Is this an earthquake?

Xiyuan: It's definitely not an earthquake, it should be something else. Where is Lin Wu? What's the situation like there? Why has there been no news since yesterday?

You Xi: He should still be investigating the clues he found, but there is no news after so long, which is indeed a bit worrying.

You Zhenzhen: Aren’t there a few holy light bombs in Brother Wu’s place? Although they may not be useful for certain things here, they are better than nothing. He should be fine. After all, the level here is A. It is impossible for them to appear and completely incapacitate us.

A situation of resistance.

Tang Yatong: No matter what the cause of the shock just now is, this can be regarded as a clue. We plan to go to the students here today and try to ask them to see if this has happened before.
To be continued...
