People are in a weird world, you call this a game of cultivation

Chapter 228 Mannequins
"A lot of flying ants."

Hua Shuying frowned and looked at the goose-yellow light bulb above her head, and said with disgust.

"So many flying ants gathered in just such a short period of time?"

In the corridor on the third floor, there is a goose-yellow electric light on the central staircase. Groups of flying ants flew towards the light source in the darkness around them, surrounding the light, densely packed, and some wings fell off and fell all over the ground.

"In my hometown, these flying ants only appear when there is heavy rain or floods."

After Li Ran said something, he continued to walk towards the T-shaped stairs on the fourth floor.

Hua Shuying let go of Li Ran's arm, and patted the flying ants that fell from her body.

She looked at the stairs that forked again, and suddenly pointed to a mark on the wall and said, "Does this mean that we have to walk separately?"

On the wall in front of the two of them, a "←→" mark appeared, and there was a villain at each end of the mark.

"It seems to be." Li Ran walked to the fork, and he took the stairs on the right.

Hua Shuying walked to the stairs on the right, and said in a low voice: "What will happen if we don't walk separately?"

"Try them all." Li Ran said.

Therefore, the two did not intend to separate, after all, it is the safest to face the unknown together.

The two walked up the stairs on the right, and when they reached the fourth floor, Li Ran raised his head and frowned slightly as he looked at the electric light above his head that was almost covered by flying ants.

He turned his head to look at the corridor and the darkness outside the corridor, and made a judgment based on the reference object in the distance.

"We seem to be back on the third floor." Li Ran said.

The classrooms on both sides of the corridor, Li Ran, remembered clearly that there was a hole on the ground at the first door of the classroom on the left side of the third floor, and the height of the playground and the grove seen outside in the dark did not change.

This shows that their floor height has not changed, and they are still on the third floor.

"How did this happen? We kept going up." Hua Shuying looked back at the steps behind her, and said with disbelief: "The stairs are also obviously going up. Could it be a ghost hitting the wall?"

Li Ran frowned slightly, looked towards the stairs on the fourth floor, and said to Hua Shuying: "You wait for me at the stairs on the right, I'll go up and have a look."

"Ah."

Li Ran walked to the fourth floor and came to the bifurcated stairs. He still chose the stairs on the right.

Hua Shuying stood there and waited. She watched Li Ran go up and turned into the stairs on the right.

But in the next scene, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, pointing in horror at Li Ran who came up from the stairs on the right below: "Oh my God, you..."

Li Ran walked up to the fourth floor, turned the corner and walked up to the third floor from the stairs on the second floor. What made her feel even more incredible was that the time when Li Ran walked up the stairs on the fourth floor was at the same time as she saw Li Ran coming up from the second floor. There was no sense of frustration at all, as if the stairs were going up to the fourth floor from the second floor to the third floor.

Li Ran walked to Hua Shuying's side, looked at the light bulb above his head, and then at the hole on the ground at the door of the first classroom on the left.

"It seems to have entered an endless loop, it's so strange." Li Ran dragged his chin and looked at Hua Shuying, and said, "Go and try, I'll wait for you here."

"it is good."

Then Hua Shuying walked to the fourth floor, and when she was about to walk to the stairs on the right, Li Ran shouted, "Try to take the stairs on your left."

Hua Shuying obediently walked towards the stairs on her left.

Then Li Ran saw Hua Shuying coming up from the stairs to her left on the second floor.

"I hate these flying ants, they always fall on me." Hua Shuying covered her small head with one hand and patted the flying ants in front of her with the other hand, and said resentfully: "Do we have to separate before we can get together?" Crack the ghost hit the wall?"

The two walked to the fourth floor again. At the fork, Li Ran walked to the stairs on the left, and Hua Shuying walked to the stairs on the right.

They looked at each other and walked up the stairs together.

Li Ran's gaze was fixed on the light above his head. The goose yellow light illuminated the stairway in an indistinct and dark manner. The sky outside was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything. There was even more silence in his ears, only the sound of himself walking up the stairs. .

Did Hua Shuying's footsteps disappear?
Li Ran was puzzled. He came to the corridor and looked up at the light yellow light above his head.

No flying ants!

"This is the fourth floor."

Li Ran looked at the playground and the woods in the distance, and his vision was significantly elevated.

He looked at the door of the first classroom on the left corridor, there was no pit on the floor.

"We're out of the loop."

Li Ran heard Hua Shuying's footsteps coming up, and raised his head to look at the stairs on the right.

His eyes slowly looked from bottom to top to the stairs on the right, just when he saw that there was no shadow on the stairs from the corner of his eye, his body froze suddenly.

Under the dim light, Li Ran stood stiffly at the stairs, and at the other stairs facing him, a person poked his head out from the wall.

The man was dark and hazy, with no hair, holding the edge of the wall with both hands, his head protruding from the wall, the face without facial features, staring at him silently.

Li Ran's scalp almost burst on the spot!

He heard footsteps and thought it was Hua Shuying walking up.

When he looked up, he saw such a ghost staring at him, who wouldn't be shocked.

At this moment, Li Ran only felt a chill from his tailbone rushing straight to Tianlinggai. His scalp and back felt cold, and even his palms were covered in cold sweat.

Moreover, he also sensed an unknown spiritual force attacking his mind, but it was lifted by the chain of tranquility.

"Shadow Grip!"

He reacted quickly, and after a short shock, he shot like lightning, and shot a phantom ghost hand to grab the ghost.

"Swish!!!!"

The ghost turned into a piece of fine black scraps of paper and flew towards the corridor.

"Damn, you dare to scare me?!" Li Ranpo scolded: "You run fast."

He ran to the stairs on the right, looked down, and shouted solemnly, "Where are you, witch?"

Hua Shuying went up the stairs with him, but the person disappeared, and a ghost ran out to probe.

Damn, no matter how strong the mentality is, people will be shocked.

"Damn it, the arrow is also a trap!"

Looking at the stairs where Hua Shuying disappeared, Li Ran did not go down. He knew that going down would only lead him into a more complicated cycle of stairs.

(There are many complex and weird spaces on this floor, but as long as you can walk to the studio on the fifth floor, you can break the cycle and weirdness.)
Under the previous scan of the senses, there was only one classroom on the left side of the fifth floor with six people.

This kind of situation where all the time is gathered in one classroom has happened once.

That was the troll kitchen in the dining room under the "hungry" rule on a boat sailing against the current. Under that rule, clearing out the trolls in the kitchen is the key, otherwise everyone will starve to death.

"Do you want to clear out the people in the studio?"

He wasn't too sure what was in the studio on the fifth floor, but it definitely wouldn't be a player.

Moreover, the difficulty of this task is placed in the most difficult position in the Hunter's Hall, so it must be extremely dangerous.

Thinking of this, he used the ghost to carve the words "studio on the fifth floor" on the wall of the corridor. As long as Hua Shuying can break through the strange space and arrive here, he can see the message he left.

Li Ran continued to walk to the fifth floor, and he walked to the stairs on the left, which was on his right.

This time, I came to the fifth floor without any hindrance.

The dim electric light hung alone above his head, only illuminating an area less than two meters in diameter centered on Li Ran.

He noticed a brightly lit classroom at the end of the dark corridor.

In the middle section between the lit classroom and the corridor where he was, it was pitch black, as if the lights couldn't penetrate it.

This feeling made Li Ran very uncomfortable. The brightly lit classroom at the end of the corridor was like a mirage, and he had to go through a dark area to approach the brightly lit classroom.

(You must not meet their eyes in the classroom until you reach the end of the corridor, or you will die!)

A line of prompts appeared in front of Li Ran.

"Strange rules?"

Li Ran was shocked in his heart.

There are strange rules in the bounty missions in human towns?
He finally understood why so many players died because of this.

Because those players came here without getting the mission information with weird rules, the result can be imagined.

If he didn't hide the hint, he wouldn't be able to get past here.

It's easy with hints.

As on the fourth floor, he left the message "Don't look into the eyes of things in the classroom" on the wall.

Then he swaggered into the corridor.

Walking from the bright place to the dark place, first a sinister wind came in from the corridor, and then a cold breath emerged from all around. The open windows of the classroom in the corridor seemed to be the lowest temperature air conditioner. The same "huhuhu" kept pouring air-conditioning into the corridor.

Li Ran has a feeling that he has walked from summer to the world of ice and snow. If he hadn't possessed the physique of a demon, by this time, his scalp would be numb and his body would have goose bumps.

He strode forward, staring straight ahead, with only the light at the end of the corridor in his pupils.

After passing the first classroom with open windows, there seemed to be a few pairs of malicious eyes staring straight through the dark windows. Their eyes were like cheetahs crawling in the grass, staring at the prey outside the classroom motionlessly. That, especially the eyes of prey.

What they like most is the panic and fear in the eyes of their prey. Although their faces are full of calm, they know very well that the superficial calm of their prey is only temporary, and soon the prey will be overwhelmed by the fear in their hearts. crushed.

Li Ran walked through the first classroom very smoothly. Except for blinking, his eyes didn't shift half a bit during the whole process. He looked straight ahead with an unprecedented firmness in his eyes.

After passing the second classroom, there were many strange sounds from inside.

"Boy, stop, I'm calling you, stop for me!"

A hoarse voice came from the window of the second classroom, and the voice moved with Li Ran's movements, as if it was right next to his ears.

Li Ran could even sense the weirdness in the window trying to grab him with his hands.

But he turned a deaf ear to this and continued walking towards the end of the corridor.

"Li Ran, save me."

Suddenly, Hua Shuying's voice came from the third classroom.

"Li Ran, save me, save me quickly." There seemed to be a woman holding the window and stretching out her hand to call for help. Her voice was exactly the same as Hua Shuying's.

If he couldn't see the hidden hint, he might have fallen for the trick, after all, Hua Shuying was indeed missing.

In this case, if it is a team, teammates may be tricked.

Li Ran smiled disdainfully in his heart: "I have never told the witch my name."

Where can such clumsy tricks be deceived.

When he left the darkness and walked towards the light, the wind and chill around him suddenly receded.

(Rules lifted.)
After seeing the prompt, Li Ran dared to look at the classroom at the end of the corridor.

The radiance of the warm lamp illuminated the whole classroom. Li Ran walked to the window and looked into the classroom.

This is a studio full of drawing boards. Above the studio, more than a dozen bright incandescent lamps illuminate the classroom as if it were daytime.

In the center of the classroom, five students sat seriously in front of the drawing boards. On the stage, a teacher wearing glasses, a suit and a tie sketched a woman's face with chalk on the blackboard.

With the last stroke of white chalk, a sketch of a girl with shy eyes and aggrieved eyes appeared on the blackboard, vivid and lifelike.

"Today's lesson is about demeanor description." The polite teacher said.

"Teacher, there are so many expressions in people, how can I describe them?" said a man in a white shirt.

"Yeah, I hate drawing expressions the most. I can't draw well no matter what."

"Drawing people first draws gods, this is the first step to learn art well."

Several students expressed their views.

The gentle teacher smiled and said, "Don't panic, today the teacher brought you a material."

"Oh? Is it human body sketching class today?" The boy in the white shirt asked excitedly.

Several other people also stood up one after another, obviously very excited, and their eyes were also excited.

"Then, let's invite today's material to appear."

The polite teacher clapped his hands.

A graceful and exquisite figure walked slowly from the front door of the studio to the center of the group of people.

Outside the classroom, when he saw the person walking out, Li Ran's pupils shrank, and he said in shock: "Why is the witch..."

In the studio, Hua Shuying stood quietly in the center, with a pained expression and despair and grievance in her eyes.

"Wow, the material this time is so beautiful." The young man in the white shirt stood up excitedly.

Several other people also stood up, their eyes glowed with heat, and even their breathing became short of breath.

They surrounded Hua Shuying in the center, holding a paintbrush in one hand and gesturing to the figure in the other, with evil smiles and excitement all over their faces.

"Everyone sit down, sit down." The polite teacher shouted.

The students returned to their seats one after another, still using brushes and hands to draw their body shapes in the air.

"Everyone's attitude towards the material is to study her as a still life without any evil thoughts, understand?" said the gentle teacher.

"clear."

The students said in unison.

"Draw the body first, and then draw the spirit. You must observe every detail well. If you can't see clearly, you can go closer and observe, but remember, don't get started." A sly look appeared on Wen Binbin's men's glasses in a suit, He licked the corner of his mouth, and looked at Hua Shuying from bottom to top.

"The witch has been controlled?"

Outside the window, Li Ran found that Hua Shuying's expression was extremely painful, with anger and grievance in her eyes, but her body was motionless, as if unable to resist.

"The witch is manipulated." Li Ran quickly came up with the answer.

The arrow mark on the third floor going to the fourth floor belongs to two different weird spaces, and if you walk separately, you will be in two different spaces. If you are in a group, you will enter an infinite loop of stairs.

The main purpose of the weirdness to separate the players is also to break up the cohesion of the players, so as to break them one by one.

When Li Ran successfully arrived at the fourth floor, the probe ghost he saw was actually one of the traps. The dead stare of the probe ghost seemed to have a mental attack on the player, but Li Ran's strange power was higher, and he also had the chain of tranquility, the spirit of the probe ghost. The attack was completely ineffective against Li Ran, and he was almost killed back.

But if it is another player with a lower power value than Probe Ghost, and does not have the ability to resist mental attacks, it is likely to be tricked, and the final result must be death.

Apparently, Hua Shuying was also tricked by taking the other ladder, and was taken to the studio to be used as a material.

Before, he was still struggling with whether to sacrifice his hue to make material, but now it's all right, the witch is the first to bear the brunt.

"The human body is a complex shape. Drawing it can improve your skills. It also has many details, such as bones, muscles, fat, and wrinkles. Learning it can observe more details. At the same time, it is a dynamic shape. Different movements and different gestures can help painters capture dynamics."

"It is also a beautiful status quo. It has a variety of expressions. By learning it, painters can effectively capture emotions and improve aesthetics."

The well-mannered man in a suit explained his understanding of drawing solemnly in cadence, but his gaze never left Hua Shuying's back.

He slowly took out a paintbrush, a white light was reflected in the lens, and the corner of his mouth smiled: "Please show the material."

After speaking, he flicked it with a paintbrush.

A strange scene appeared, the button rope at the neckline of Hua Shuying's purple robe was untied automatically, untied from the neckline to the abdomen...

The eyes of the students became hot, and the breath they exhaled also became hot.

"Our material is beautiful." The man in the suit asked.

The man in the white shirt swallowed, and said with infatuated eyes: "It's beautiful, it's the most beautiful material I've ever seen."

With the movement of the brush, Hua Shuying's purple robe slowly slid to one side, revealing her charming collarbone and fair shoulders.

Hua Shuying was in great pain, at this moment she felt great humiliation and despair, she never imagined that one day she would become these weird things that would be humiliated at will.

These weird eyes around want to eat her up, what kind of art students, these are all beasts, all are weird.

Doing dirty things in the name of painting!
Her heart was desperate to the extreme, and these strange eyes made her feel broken.

At this moment, she just wanted to ask Li Ran to save her.

But this building is so weird, so weird, can Li Ran really come over to save her?
"Can I observe the material at close range?" The young man in the white shirt raised his hand.

"There are a lot of details in the material, and you can only see it when you get closer." Another person said.

The man in the suit pushed up his glasses and smiled evilly: "It's fine to observe at a close distance, but don't touch it."

Hearing this, Hua Shuying's mind was struck by a thunderbolt, and the whole world turned into ashes!
