Chapter 23 Hide and Seek

"Wei Chao, why are you standing here? You're blocking the way."

A hand pushed Wei Chao from behind , causing Wei Chao, who was still unconscious, to stagger.

"What's the matter with you today? You haven't woken up yet? Why are you so stunned?"

When Wei Chao came to his senses , he was surrounded by students wearing white and blue school uniforms, in small groups. Many people held textbooks in their hands, taking advantage of the recess time to take a breath and exchange school gossip.

He was in a daze. In his memory, he was still flipping through the student handbook at his desk. How could he come here without paying attention, and it was still daytime.

It was still dark before.

This is me...

Before Wei Chao could think about it, the boy he was talking to before put his arm around his shoulders, with a concerned look on his face, "What's wrong with you? Are you stupid in studying?"

"It's okay, I haven't slept well recently."

Wei Chao didn't quite understand the situation, he still followed the boy's words.

The boy laughed.

While they were talking, a girl with long hair happened to pass by. She had long, straight black hair, fair skin, and a slender swan neck.

Although he was wearing the same wide style school uniform as those around him, he had an extra aura that no one else had.

Like a delicate flower in full bloom, bright and youthful.

When passing by, it seems that the air is filled with fragrance.

The boy stared at the girl as she entered the classroom, and gently pushed Wei Chao with his elbow , "Did you see the beauty in our class?"

Wei Chao slapped away the boy's hand on his shoulder, "I saw it."

The boy chuckled with a slightly vulgar expression. He looked around and said in a low voice, "I've heard about interesting things recently."

"What?"

Wei Chao answered him.

He had a gut feeling that a clue was coming.

"I heard others say that Xiaomei is being kept by someone else."

Xiaomei is the girl who just passed by before.

After Wei Chao heard the name, he instantly recalled the whispers when he entered the ghost classroom.

The sentence "I heard that Xiaomei has a boyfriend." flashed through Wei Chao's mind .

Wei Chao looked a little more serious. For high school students, this kind of rumor is very deadly.

Seeing that Wei Chao didn't believe it , the boy added, "Someone saw it with his own eyes."

"What if it's Xiaomei's relative or something."

"Impossible." The boy quickly rejected it.

Wei Chao put his hands in his pockets, "How do you know?"

The boy looked confused. After some inner struggle, he still opened his mouth and said, "They saw the boy who took care of Xiaomei. He was..."

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, all the scenes were like faded ink paintings, and the scenes in front of me began to blur. Wei Chao's brain felt like it was exploding, and the severe pain ripped him apart.

After a burst of white light, Wei Chao woke up struggling.

He gasped for air and clenched his fingers until they turned white.

Is it a dream?

He came to his senses.

There is also his student handbook spread out on the table, and the small alarm clock is ticking. In this quiet dormitory, every second of vibration is like a knife cutting into the heart.

He looked around. The bedroom was still the same as when he was sleeping. The only difference might be the mirror.

The mirror was smooth and there were no traces of cracks at all. What's even more difficult to understand is that the mirror is facing the desk.

In other words, when Wei Chao fell into a dream, the mirror quietly healed the cracks and changed its position without Wei Chao noticing.

Wei Chao felt a chill.

When did I fall asleep. Wei Chao turned sideways and stared at the mirror.

The young man's handsome face was clearly printed on the mirror. The murderous intent came out of his eyes.

Wei Chao picked up the dagger and walked towards the mirror step by step.

The silent smell of gunpowder smoke spread in the dormitory, and Wei Chao hated the secret prying.

This mirror was broken before, so let him break it again.

Wei Chao thought and stood in front of the mirror.

The mirror was about the same height as him, and as soon as he got closer, a person of equal proportions and exactly the same as him appeared in the mirror.

"You're the one who did it."

Wei Chao pressed the dagger blade against the mirror.

It was still pitch black outside the window with no light visible. The curtains began to flutter without wind again, and the sound of claws scratching the door panel came to mind, amplifying little by little. It was like a warning, trying to stop Wei Chao's next move.

Wei Chao watched all this silently through the mirror.

The person on the other side of the mirror had the same look and expression as him, and even his movements were exactly the same.

The two imperial dynasties were separated by a mirror as if they were two worlds apart. Like day and night, yin and yang.

"Ah."

Wei Chao smiled contemptuously and exerted some force on his wrist. The mirror made a creaking sound. The cracks were centered on the blade and spread outward like spider silk.

The lights began to flicker off again .

The person on the other side of the mirror should have imitated Wei Chao's actions and pressed down with the edge of the knife without hesitation. But after Wei Chao took action , he suddenly raised his head and looked at him with a look of resentment.

Inside and outside the mirror, the actions are opposite.

Wei Chao was not surprised. He exerted more force on his wrist, and cracks instantly covered the mirror surface, cutting the people inside into countless small pieces. Hundreds of people who looked like Wei Chao looked at him resentfully.

"Next time, don't try to spy on me."

The blade erupted with blue light, and with a bang , the mirror turned into powder and scattered on the ground.

Woohoo .

The window was squeezed open a small crack at some point, and the air flowed through, making a whining sound.

Wei Chao took back the dagger and straightened his slightly crooked cuffs.

After tidying up, he casually glanced at the window.

With a bang , the window was suddenly closed with a huge force. The force was so strong that even the dust on the window frame was shaken down.

Wei Chao walked back to his desk and looked at the time.

5 o'clock, less than half an hour had passed since he was last awake.

He lowered his head and closed the student handbook .

"At 5 o'clock, it is forbidden to play hide-and-seek games in the teaching building ."

The player's screen instantly opens.

The scheduled task set by the system above starts to be sent.

[Attention to all players, attention to all players, please gather in the teaching building at 5:10 to start the hide-and-seek game. ]

[Requirement: Survive until six in the morning]

[award:***]

The reward column is harmonized.

The audience in front of the screen also refreshed their screens when they saw this news.

Many of them also learned about the school's rules and regulations through the student handbook in front of the camera.

[Go on, this is a violation of school rules. I like it, hehe. ]

[What, what , isn’t this teaching players to break the rules? ]

[It’s too exciting. If you want to survive, you have to give up this task, but if you give up this task, you will get no points. ]

The barrage was so dizzying that Wei Chao turned it off immediately.

Indeed, as the barrage said . System tasks simply push players towards death.

The motives are impure.

Just when the barrage was discussing whether the players should take this mission, Wei Chao moved .

He clicked Accept on the system interface, and a flashlight appeared on the desk. Wei Chao pressed the button, opened the bedroom door and walked out.

The corridor was empty and dark at the same time.

Although Wei Chao stepped lightly , the sound of walking was inevitable.
