Waking nights are long, and even more so in the dungeon.
When Zhao Yijiu returned to the dormitory with dark circles in his eyes, the black in the sky had gradually faded and began to turn slightly gray. He did not unexpectedly find that all three temporary roommates were lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, and none of them had the intention of waiting for him.
"..." He closed the door softly, walked to everyone's bed quietly and took a look, especially staying at the end of Yu Xing's bed for a long time.
In the silence, his shadow had not yet dissipated, and the red in his pupils was slightly shining. Standing there, if someone else saw this scene at this time, he would probably be so scared that his heart attacks would come out.
This is really like a ghost standing at the head of the bed and staring at a living person, or a pervert who sneaks into other people's houses in the middle of the night.
Yu Xing felt so too.
After more than ten seconds, he opened his eyes helplessly, his voice was hoarse as he had just woken up, and a little smile: "I'm back... I don't sleep, why are you looking at me?"
"Your breathing frequency has exposed you're not sleeping." Zhao Yijiu said with a slight silence, "I just want to see how long you can pretend."
"... Actually, it's not that I haven't been asleep. I woke up when you just came in." Yu Xing yawned, just sat up, looked at Zhao Yijiu for two seconds, "How long have you been there?"
"It's going to be dawn soon." Zhao Yijiu's voice sounded exhausted. He had been using the power of shadow to hide himself, and he had to search the entire dormitory building up and down, and he had to avoid the inspecting mice in the middle, which consumed a lot of energy.
"Ah... Is it going to dawn? That's really hard, but it seems that I haven't found anything?" Yu Xing rubbed his temples, truly woke up, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
He didn't think that Zhao Yijiu stood there specifically to watch him sleep or wait for him to speak on his own initiative. Zhao Yijiu is a very efficient person. If it is not necessary, he generally won't do extra things.
That only proves that Zhao Yijiu feels that he can't fall asleep directly now. Yu Xing leaned over to Zhao Yijiu, squinted his eyes and looked for a long time: "Are you injured?"
"I didn't find anything useful." Zhao Yijiu's voice was very heavy, as if he was a little disappointed, "But I found that there was a strong pollution in the building. I was affected a little and didn't dare to sleep."
"What kind of impact?" Yu Xing frowned slightly. According to the guess he summed up from the information he received from the female bedroom, the plague will accelerate the alienation of students such as the Red Armor, which means that this kind of pollution is very unfriendly to people like them who have their own special powers.
He didn't feel that it was because his curse power could effectively fight against this pollution, and his spirit was influenced by the power of the ghost tree, so he was always under the cover of a stronger pollution, and he didn't care so much about the strange power of the female dormitory manager.
But Zhao Yijiu, a person who has the power of a ghost sealed in his body, is different. He is very unstable. If he is like Zhao Mou and Wen Qinghuai, he is an ordinary person's body, but he is safer.
If even Zhao Yijiu said she dared not sleep, it would prove that the pollution must be very obvious.
Their voices also alarmed Zhao Mou and Wen Qinghuai. After all, no deducer in the dungeon dared to sleep so hard when he was sleeping.
God knew if a knife would be slashed at them in the middle of the night, and he was not alert at all, that would happen to something big.
So as soon as Zhao Mou opened his eyes, he heard his younger brother talking to the captain about pollution. He was so eager that he sat up and reacted quickly: "What's going on?"
Zhao Yijiu: “…”
He looked at his brother who looked worried, closed his eyes and his voice a little hoarse: "It's not a big deal. The power of the shadow wizard is easily penetrated by the things in this building. I used it all night. The consciousness of 'it' is too active now, but I can still control it."
Both Yu Xing and Zhao Mou understood that "it" consciousness refers to the ghost consciousness in the body. Although Wen Qinghuai, who was not clear about this matter, had woken up, he silently chose not to speak in order to give them a free environment for communication.
"But if I can't control myself after sleeping, once I rest, you will only see that me tomorrow, and it will occupy it for a long time. I don't know when it will recover." When Zhao Yijiu said this, the scarlet in his eyes was flowing abnormally, as if the blood river slowly dissolved.
At this time, about 5 hours had passed since Zhao Yijiu saw the shadow of the branch under the influence of the ghost consciousness. After that, the ghost consciousness came out from time to time to jump, seriously disturbing him. In a trance, he felt that he had been back to the time he had spent in the dark room prepared for him when he was a child, when he had just merged with the ghost consciousness.
The same was true at that time. No matter what he was doing, he could hear a voice that did not belong to him at any time, and then lure him little by little, walking towards the realm of depravity and darkness.
He has survived that stage and of course he can withstand the harassment of the evil spirit today. But the problem is that while he wants to compete with the consciousness, he also needs to use the power of shadow to check the corridors and some empty rooms. If he is not careful, both sides will collapse.
Zhao Yijiu hasn't been so tired in a long time.
"So the pollution power that the dormitory manager has should be of the same origin as 'it', otherwise it would be impossible to increase the activity of 'it' while bothering you. It's really troublesome. The world view of the Dead Siriku Island seems to have just collided with 'it'." Zhao Mou was still very rational while caring. He also came over and checked Zhao Yijiu with a more meticulous technique than Yu Xing. There was indeed no abnormality in his body, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
You should know that when the elder of the family was completely transformed into a monster, the degree of change in the body was terrible. What Zhao Mou was most worried about over the years was that his younger brother followed the footsteps of the elder because of his integration with the evil ghost.
On the contrary, if it was a pure spiritual confrontation, he was very confident in his younger brother, and he knew more about Ajiu's tenacity than anyone else.
"It's nothing big, so there's no need to be so nervous." Zhao Yijiu broke his body out of Zhao Mou's claws in a discomfort, but after such trouble, his condition seemed to be getting better.
It was indeed not too serious that Yu Xing knew the solution, so he relaxed and teased: "I understand. You have been standing at the end of my bed for so long. Do you want me to chat with you so that you won't fall asleep?"
"..." Zhao Yijiu couldn't describe it, "I don't have this interest."
"Then it will be difficult for you to fall asleep if I make you angry. I understand, I understand. This wave is intended to make me angry to death." Yu Xing said, and then lay back on the bed, covered the quilt in Zhao Yijiu's dull expression, and nested comfortably, "I can't sleep, but you are envious?"
"It's useless to envy me. You can stand there for a while. You can act as an alarm clock. Just wake me up half an hour before class-"
"Are you human beings?" Before Zhao Yijiu could not bear it anymore. He put on his glasses and stared at the bloated quilt on the bed with reprimanding eyes, "Yu Xing, don't make me mentality. Ajiu is so tired. You should let him sleep next to you."
Zhao Yijiu: "?"
Yu Xing: "?"
Wen Qinghuai who listened silently: "?"
"Two kills you, do some tricks. Ajiu can lie down and rest, but she will not dare to fall asleep because she has to be careful of you. The purpose is achieved." Zhao Mou's mouth curled up, "Is this method stable?"
Yu Xing: "You said that I am a pervert who is so good at Long Yang and can be a hooligan."
Zhao Yijiu: "...It's OK, stop."
"You open your mouth and make people sober." He chose to leave this place of right and wrong with his face, and walked alone to the table in the public area to sit down.
Of course he could see that whether it was Yu Xing's owed Bian or Zhao Mou's owed Bian, it was all about using exaggerated topics to make him feel emotionally fluctuated in order to maintain a state of waking up.
This is also the purpose of his insistence on standing there waiting for Yu Xing to open his eyes.
But……
Wen Qinghuai, who finally sat up, expressed his thoughts at this moment: "You are too rude, you are very good, you are not allowed to talk about it next time."
"Okay, okay, just be a joke." Zhao Mou shrugged and looked at Yu Xing, who was nestled in the quilt and seemed to be asleep at any time. He asked seriously, "You are so unhurried, is there a solution?"
If this matter is not resolved, then Zhao Yijiu will not be unable to sleep now, but will not be able to sleep for a long time and not until the pollution subsides.
But no one knows how long it will take for this pollution to disappear, or even...will it disappear over time.
If the ghost consciousness has been so active, Zhao Yijiu will be able to delay her mental exhaustion at most, and in the end she will have to give up her thinking and wait for an unknown recovery.
There has never been such a situation since childhood, and this will be Zhao Yijiu's own biggest crisis.
Fortunately, the activity of the evil ghosts comes with pollution. As long as the pollution is solved, the evil ghosts' consciousness will be silent again. Yu Xingxin said to me, you are so calm as your brother, obviously you have thought of a solution.
He replied perfunctorily: "Yes."
Then he raised his voice and said to Zhao Yijiu, who didn't want to talk to them: "Actually, I know what you are thinking. I can't speak for so long after watching me. Don't worry, explain it to Qu Yanqing tomorrow, will she agree to say something else."
Zhao Yijiu then paid attention to him: "But she will be injured if she agrees, I--"
Yu Xing said: "Although I don't really want to see that scene emotionally, from a rational perspective, her physical injury is not a big problem. After all, she doesn't feel... pain."
"Indeed, this is the easiest way now, but tomorrow I'll ask her for her opinion first. If she doesn't want to do this..." Zhao Mou pondered for a moment, "I'll find other ways."
Since the extra pollution that Zhao Yijiu had on his body was the same as the evil ghost in his body, to put it bluntly, pollution belongs to a kind of ghost energy.
Such ghost energy does not grow naturally, but is imposed by external forces, which is equivalent to wandering forces. Qu Yanqing's characteristic of "injuring the body and absorbing the ghost energy to heal" can just transfer this power.
The premise is that she has to be injured, which means that if Qu Yanqing wants to help Zhao Yijiu, he may have to poke several big wounds on her body manually - it is not enough if it is small, and if it can make the evil spirits so active, the degree of pollution will definitely be not low.
Even people like Yu Xing who are not virtuous think this method is a bit unfamiliar.
