Late at night, the group of rats flowed all the way from the dormitory building, leaving panic sounds in the eardrums everywhere they passed.
There are so many mammals on land, and many are in groups, but humans are so afraid of mice. Not only is it because mice are good at relying on humans, but the sound is also a big reason.
Humans seem to be born with fear of rats.
The female dormitory manager opened the door of the dormitors like last night, and still stayed quietly in front of everyone's bed for a while, without any gains, and finally left the dormitory.
When the lights were turned off, the entire dormitory building was pitch black. After the female dormitory manager checked and went downstairs, Yu Xing sat up and yawned. He happened to hear the sound of the door opening in the corridor outside.
"Who is out in the dormitory opposite?" He raised his eyebrows with a little interest.
As soon as he finished speaking, a response immediately came from the darkness. Zhao Mou got out of bed and said, "Actually, there were some previous cases. Because the toilet was outside, if you couldn't hold it in, there would always be some shameless decisions to go to the toilet to solve the problem."
"Indeed, I want shame, and I also chose to go out to the bathroom." Wen Qinghuai chuckled, "But after I thoroughly figured out the origin of the ghost today, I found that the nightmare related to Oliver in the five tasks seemed to have a high priority in school."
The dormitory building is safe during the day. The only fatal point is to be careful not to trigger the murder conditions of the female dormitory manager.
When the dormitory is in the time when the lights are turned off, except for the inside of the dormitory, other places will be occupied by nightmares like teaching buildings, and there will be many ghosts.
No matter what it is, after the lights are turned off, it seems that some agreement has been reached between the nightmare and the female dormitory manager. The female dormitory manager lets the nightmare occupy the dormitory building, and the nightmare cooperates with the female dormitory manager to check the dormitory. However, in general, the nightmare is more beneficial and has occupied the territory of the female dormitory manager.
"I have some ideas about this." Zhao Mou had already walked to the table in the public area and turned on the small desk lamp on the table. The faint light suddenly illuminated a small area.
Zhao Yijiu stood quietly by the door at some point, blocking all the gaps on the door that might have peeped in with paper.
Wen Qinghuai walked over slowly, yawned, and then sat on the chair. The curly hair was very messy.
Zhao Mou said to the last bed where there was no movement: "Yu Xing, get out of bed, come over and make a new plan."
"Here you come." Yu Xing rubbed his eyes and opened the curtain, "Did you feel it? After turning off the lights this time, he just lay on the bed for a while. He was so sleepy. Is the dormitory manager's ability stronger?"
"It's okay, I don't feel it." Zhao Mou looked at Yu Xing more when he heard this, turned around and asked Zhao Yijiu, "Is Ajiu sleepy?"
Zhao Yijiu shook his head and said lightly: "I'm not sleepy."
"I'm actually fine. As a lazy person in reality, I will be so reluctant to leave every time I wake up. It's normal, but Yu Xing, you look really sleepy." Wen Qinghuai started to clean his hair. He noticed Yu Xing's mental state, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, "What's wrong with you?"
"Oh, is it the only one who becomes sleepy..." Yu Xing narrowed his eyes and felt much more awake after seeing the light.
After they returned to the dormitory after evening study, they each cleaned up and lay on the bed in advance waiting for the bedtime to pass. After a while, Yu Xing fell asleep. It was not until the female dormitory manager came in that his ability to perceive danger made him wake up quietly.
Yu Xing felt a little tired after lying on the bed. At first, he thought it was a gradually increasing rule in the dormitory building, but now he found that this situation was only for him, so he naturally thought of the power of Gui Shenshu.
Since he can influence the judgment of ghosts under the control of Guichen Tree in the school dungeon, it has proved that the power in his body has a common side with the power of Guichen Tree.
Then it is reasonable that Gui Shenshu will in turn affect him.
Yu Xing did not tell others about this idea. It would be a big project to explain it, and it is not suitable to talk about these in the copy.
He then made an excuse: "It's probably because of my physical condition that I can feel these negative effects more easily."
Sitting on the chair, he found Zhao Yijiu staring at him quietly, and Yu Xing smiled: "But it doesn't matter, the sleepiness is just a while, now it's over."
"If you find something wrong, say it immediately." A small part of Zhao Yijiu's body melted into the shadow, and the face illuminated by the light contained concerns.
"Of course." Yu Xing raised his legs and his posture casually, "Then let's start. Did Zhao Mou just say that he had some ideas about nightmare?"
Zhao Mou, who also wanted to care about a few words, heard Yu Xing's intention to change the topic, and immediately gave up the words to his mouth and continued to say it according to Yu Xing's meaning: "Yes, there are a lot of new ideas, and there is a lot of information today. I think it's enough to analyze the structure of this copy clearly."
The lights on the table were too weak, and the four of them were in the half-light and half-dark light. In fact, it felt like the underground sect had a meeting in the dark.
"Ghosts are everywhere, or in other words, I found that the rule of ghosts is to follow students. It is not the most dangerous teaching building, but when night falls, wherever living people gather, there is the most dangerous place." Zhao Mou used this topic as a breakthrough and mentioned the school medical room by the way. "The one that occupies the teaching building is actually the school medical room, that is, the teacher."
"I discovered this from the five mission places and the corresponding small boss. The five missions can actually be regarded as five forces, with strong and weak forces, and suppression and cooperative relationships between them."
"When I judged the relationship between them through details, I discovered a very interesting phenomenon."
Zhao Mou sat very well when he spoke, neither as unimpressed as when he and Zhao Yi were drinking at home, nor as elite as when he was in contact with strangers. He held a pen in his hand, but there was no paper in front of him, as if he was just to move his fingers.
"Actually, we have talked about this issue before, such as the supply relationship between the garbage room in the library and the bird-falling window in the canteen, so the library and the canteen cooperate."
"A lot of food provided by the canteen will gradually be polluted. The school medical room and psychological teachers mentioned by Yu Xing are also sources of pollution. One destroys the body and the other destroys the mind. Together, it is a powerful tool for students to create red armbands. Therefore, the canteen and the school medical room... that is, the teachers are also working together."
"After the librarian knew that there was a book lost, he asked Gene to help her find a thief. Gene was the director of the teaching and could represent the teacher. The library and the school clinic were also working together."
"To sum up, the school medical room, library and canteen, three tasks and three locations, are also three forces, and they are in a situation of grouping together. They are closely connected based on supply and demand relationships."
Wen Qinghuai nodded and responded: "Indeed, the remaining nightmare and the dormitory manager cooperated separately. The teacher was very alert to the ghosts in the nightmare. In addition, the treatment of the dormitory manager is very harsh. The room in which the dormitory manager lives is almost the worst compared with the old and new levels of the entire school."
"It can be understood that after the nightmare and the dormitory management teamed up, they were actually hostile to the other three forces." Zhao Mou began to write, "But the strength of these two hostile forces is still balanced. In my opinion, the strength of the dormitory management may be the weakest among the five forces, while the nightmare is the strongest."
This time, Zhao Yijiu obviously followed the line of thought. He showed no confusion at all and listened silently.
Wen Qinghuai pondered for a moment: "Although the carrier of this nightmare is Oliver, it is targeted at all living people. The nightmare has long exceeded Oliver's control. Compared with other tasks, the nightmare should have the widest coverage. Other tasks occupy buildings, and nightmare occupies people, but..."
"He will still be slightly restrained by the school clinic, or the level is on the same level, because it cannot do anything to the teachers, and will basically take the initiative to avoid the red armband."
Yu Xing smiled and said, "After all, the nightmare originated from Class 4 in 3rd, and it was later integrated into St. Jones Middle School. Isn't it normal for outsiders to have disadvantages to the local area?"
"But these are just raising a new question, that is, cooperation can be understood, and why is hostility?" Zhao Mou said, "The answer was just now. I also think it is the contradiction between outsiders and the local people."
"Are you saying that the dormitory building is also an outsider?" Wen Qinghuai was a little surprised by this. This was something he didn't expect. "Where did you see it? Because it was abrupt that the mouse appeared here, and there were no animal elements elsewhere in the school?"
"This is one of the reasons. My idea has to be back to the intensity of the nightmare side. It is also a task. Why is nightmare based on humans and better than female dormitory managers? The teachers in the school clinic can basically complete the control of the entire campus, while the chefs in the canteen and the librarians in the library have such a low presence." Zhao Mou's advantages suddenly appeared after the information was collected. His information extraction and association abilities were extremely terrifying.
"I guess their strength, and how well the task boss itself fits with St. Jones Middle School."
This is the first concept mentioned in this dungeon, and Zhao Yijiu blinked: "Fit?"
"That's right, let's first look at the location of abandoning the task. What are these bosses originally?" Zhao Mou simply guided Zhao Yijiu's idea, "Don't look at nothing, just look at their own image."
"Teacher, Oliver's nightmare, rat, copy man, high-heeled woman." Zhao Yijiu described it concisely, and his description order was the school medical room, nightmare, dormitory building, canteen, and the last library.
"The description later... forget it, that's fine." Zhao Mou's face was complicated and he was desperate about his younger brother's ability to summarize. He paused for a moment before continuing: "The teacher group includes various positions, including grade directors, class teachers, class teachers, psychology teachers and school doctors, and can basically complete the entire teaching staff structure."
"Oliver's nightmare is based on the incident where Oliver was bullied, extending from the original Class 4 of the third year to the entire campus today."
"The fit between these two forces and St. Jones Middle School itself is basically 100%, because teachers and students are the two most basic groups in the same school, and they are the strongest, with more students, and are better in terms of intensity nightmare, but teachers have natural career advantages over students, so nightmare cannot do anything to the teacher."
"Looking at the rest, the chef in the cafeteria is a ghost that can be divided into many and has extremely strong contamination capabilities in flesh and blood. The librarian is a ghost with a strange posture and a relatively large relationship with the sound. These two have nothing to do with the word school and have a low degree of compatibility. It is just because it is suitable. One becomes a chef and the other takes care of the library, which has a limited degree of threat to students."
Zhao Mou's meaning has been understood by the other three people. It is true that it is true, but the rules in it were hidden well before. Zhao Mou really dared to think about it so quickly.
"But both kinds of ghosts are humanoids, and perhaps some clues of existence can be found, such as being prohibited from making sounds in class, just like librarians using sound as coordinates when looking for people; in adolescence, some people try too early but do not understand safety and responsibility, just like chefs have some sexual hints in their dress and actions, but flesh and blood are so dangerous."
Wen Qinghuai laughed and said, "This is OK, it seems that it makes sense. You can barely find traces of them being local."
"I'm not sure about these two symbolic things, but they at least leave room for imagination." Zhao Mou pushed his glasses, and the lenses reflected a dark light in the faint light. "The dormitory tube is related to mice and babies. This is already a certain thing, but it doesn't match the school."
"So do you think the dormitory manager is an outsider like Class 4 in 3rd and 4th?" Yu Xing curled his lips slightly, "It's all about this, I just want to talk about the plague."
"...That's right, the plague." Zhao Mou said, "Since it is foreign, it must symbolize an event in itself, so that it can integrate into St. Jones Middle School with its own rules."
Plague is a source of fear for humans.
Plague has broken out in many places. From a global perspective, the most famous plague was in the Middle Ages Europe.
The plague was so severe that mice were piled up into mountain buns. They ate them when they saw them. The mice were like the god of death, bringing blood, pain, and hunger to the people at that time.
The sound of rats can resound throughout the night. The army usually runs past human houses through the border. Many times when hearing the sound of rats approaching, it is equivalent to approaching death.
Therefore, humans are afraid of mice for no reason, but have traces to follow. The plague outbreaks again and again in history have made people engrave their fear of mice in their bloodlines and DNA. This is the instinct of survival.
Once the female dormitory manager is positioned as an alien ghost, her weirdness can completely match the plague. At that time, the plague caused chaos in many cities. There were also rumors that many newborns were stillborns with rat characteristics at that time.
When the female dormitory tube was tied with wool felt, the baby was furry all over. Later, the wood carving baby was deformed again, and his body shrank like a mouse.
