Free Web NovelThe moment the heavy door closed, the light in the study room suddenly dimmed, as if the sunlight was obscured by thick clouds, everything visible was a hazy gray, as if everything in the classroom was gradually aging.
Lu Yibei looked up at the window, but was surprised to find that above the sky, the early autumn sun was still fierce, but the sun's light and heat could not reach this study room.
He stared out the window for a few seconds, then suddenly realized that the music of students rehearsing programs on the distant open ground, which he could occasionally hear when entering this teaching building, had also disappeared at some point.
It was as if some power had isolated the study classroom from the outside campus... Lu Yibei squinted his eyes and muttered to himself.
In this situation, if it was really caused by the Monster Story Chat Group, then the problems behind them are probably much bigger than imagined.
While Lu Yibei was briefly thinking, the light in the classroom seemed to have become darker without him noticing, and the atmosphere also became increasingly oppressive.
This feeling reminded him of the scene when he was very young, after school in the afternoon, and was accidentally locked in the classroom by the Teacher.
At that time, he stood alone by the classroom window, watching the sunlight being swallowed by the horizon bit by bit, the colors magnificent like a fiercely burning flame.
He didn't dare to look back, just quietly admired it, as if it were a beautiful scene symbolizing the end.
He felt the classroom behind him was filled with students, some whispering something, some wrestling and biting like beasts, and some just sitting quietly behind him, looking at him with indescribable eyes.
The classroom was very lively.
But... they were not the classmates he was familiar with.
In the corridor outside the classroom, like an illusion, intermittent footsteps came, constantly lingering on the same floor.
Perhaps it was a patrolling school worker?
He tried calling out loudly, but only his own childish voice echoed on the campus.
Then.
The sky completely darkened, the last bit of light was swallowed by darkness, as if the whole world had already left him.
Due to the long passage of time and excessive fright, Lu Yibei could no longer remember the specific details after the sky completely darkened that day, only that in the end, Old Dad and Shui Ge climbed over the wall and pried open the lock to get him out of the school, and they were also caught by surveillance, and had to pay the school a little over two thousand the next day.
He only remembered that on that day, he tasted, for the first time, the fear originating from darkness.
...
Soon, the study classroom became completely dark and gloomy, with dim yellow light that made it impossible to distinguish between dusk and evening, and at this moment, a series of eerie sounds echoed in the silent classroom.
"Patta—Patta—!"
Lu Yibei looked in the direction the sound came from, but found that the desks and chairs, which were covered in mottled rust at some point, completely blocked his view.
"Patta—Patta—!"
Those strange sounds sounded very much like footsteps, moving very quickly, with light steps, and it seemed to be stepping on some slippery and viscous liquid.
In this study classroom, is there something with limbs wrapped in mucus or blood, crawling rapidly in a place he cannot see?
What exactly is that thing, is it dangerous?
While Lu Yibei was thinking, one hand was already pressing on his guitar bag.
He swallowed hard, concentrated his attention, and locked his gaze in the direction where the suspected footsteps came from, and then a slight warmth came from his eyes.
Is it just slightly warm?
Lu Yibei tilted his head, his eyes filled with some doubt.
...
In the past month or so, he had nearly a dozen experiences of encountering urban legend, big and small, and had summarized some experience in judging the strength of urban legend.
From the experience he summarized, when encountering a certain urban legend for the first time, the degree of heat in his eyes is greatly related to the strength of the other party, and the degree of danger can be roughly divided into four levels.
Those urban legend living in his home, which are difficult for even ordinary people to harm, hardly cause any abnormal reaction in his eyes.
Their degree of danger roughly corresponds to the unrated urban legend assessed by the Night Watch, belonging to the first level.
The second level is Headless Senior, Zhu Linglong, and Lu Xu. They are enough to cause harm to ordinary people, but he has the ability to defeat them, roughly corresponding to
When encountering them, his eyes will start to feel slightly warm, and the degree of danger is roughly between D-level and C-level.
The third level is the strange hand that attacked Professor Ma from the sink and the level after the Shihekou Middle School death-seeking four-person group became urban legend.
Their abilities have risen to a relatively bizarre level, and ordinary people have almost no ability to resist in front of them.
When encountering them, his eyes will hurt as if they are burning, and under strong stimulation, symptoms such as blurred vision and tearing will appear, as if he has inflammation, and even after several hours, his eyes will continue to be dry and stinging.
Mr. Rabbit can also be broadly included in this level of urban legend. From the publicly available file on Mr. Rabbit provided by Jiang Li, it should be B Level.
For this level of urban legend, Lu Yibei felt that his chances of winning in a head-on battle were relatively low, but if it was a one-on-one confrontation, he could run away even if he couldn't defeat it.
In short, as long as he doesn't act recklessly, the probability of dying is not too high.
Besides these three levels, there are some urban legend whose strength Lu Yibei doesn't know how to further subdivide.
He only knows that when encountering them, a common phenomenon will occur, which is that his eyes will be temporarily blind, seeing light and shadows that do not belong to the real world.
This phenomenon occurred with Ju Meng, Purple Maiden, the big strange fish on the playground, the monster in the bamboo slip, and the mysterious girl in the dream. Even the calico cat that appeared in the frozen food store can be considered half of one.
They should belong to the A-Level or even tianzai level strange story that Jiang Li emphasized not to delve into too much, as there is no benefit. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Lu Yibei could feel that there was a considerable gap in strength between them, but he didn't dare to test them personally.
Anyway, he felt that they could all kill him, the only difference being whether it was relatively easy or slightly more effort.
Now, Lu Yibei's eyes were only slightly warm, not even as warm as when he saw the Headless Senior.
From the experience he summarized, the urban legend appearing in the study room should belong to the type that is relatively easy to deal with.
However, he couldn't relax his vigilance because of this... Lu Yibei secretly reminded himself that the accuracy of the judgment method derived from summarizing experience still needs to be verified.
After all, in the process of summarizing his experience, he also encountered an restless variable like Smelly Girl Ju Meng.
When Ju Meng first appeared at his house in ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ the form of a Magpie, there was no abnormality in his eyes at all, until he stabbed her...
Judging from the various fragmented pieces of information he heard at the Night Watch afterwards, that stab almost triggered a city-wide "counter-terrorism" operation.
It was precisely because of Ju Meng's existence that Lu Yibei felt that whether the target urban legend harbored malice was also one of the important factors that would cause his eyes to heat up.
So...
Judging from the current situation, the urban legend appearing in the study classroom are either weaklings or have no malice.
However, if it's the latter, he still needs to be cautious, what if it changes its mind at some point?
Thinking of this, Lu Yibei bent down and took out the mingwang statue from his guitar bag, as if to bolster his courage, and placed it on the seat next to him with a "Duang!" sound.
Immediately after, he grabbed a large handful of talismans and scattered them around as if they were free, then loaded the Poker Pistol, cocked it, and slapped it on the table with a "Pa!" sound.
After doing all this, he glanced in the direction where the strange footsteps came from, confirmed that the invisible presence had not come closer, and that the temperature of his eyes had not changed, and nodded with satisfaction.
As long as it doesn't pose a threat, do whatever you want, once I put on my headphones, I don't care about anyone!
Lu Yibei thought, put on his headphones, opened the music software, clicked on "Martini" by Jay Chou, and the next moment, "afaker" played in his ears.
Lu Yibei, "???"
This depression came quite suddenly.
Change song!
"Room of Angel"... Hmm, the theme song of "Silent Hill 4", very tasteful!
Lu Yibei had not worn the headphones for even a minute before he took them off with a pale face and found the speech draft document.
Actually, the speech is coming up soon, and it's not the time to listen to music. It's better to seriously familiarize himself with this motivational article, it wouldn't be good if he stammered during the speech.
Lu Yibei thought, as soon as he clicked open the speech draft document, the computer screen turned into static, then flickered twice, and went black.
The pitch-black screen was like a mirror, reflecting Lu Yibei's figure, with his back facing himself.
Then it turned around with stiff movements.
On that terrifyingly pale face, the expression was so calm, so composed, as if it had already died, with eyes that had no pupils, slowly approaching.
"Bang—!"
Just as Lu Yibei felt the reflection on the screen was about to pounce out, he quickly closed the laptop, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
"Huu—!"
In the darkness, the laptop vibrated violently a few times, as if something wanted to crawl out, and then fell silent.
No, stay calm, calm down a bit. Unless it's absolutely necessary, a life-threatening situation, he still cannot become a urban legend.
If he were to recite that description now and become a urban legend, he wouldn't be able to return to normal until tomorrow morning, and the school anniversary speech would definitely be ruined. Lu Yibei thought.
Although he hated noise, he didn't want to be an outcast.
The moment the words "an outcast" appeared in his mind, Lu Yibei's back was suddenly gently patted by something, cold, like a frozen stiff corpse.
His body trembled violently, and he sat there blankly for a long time before stiffly reaching his hand behind him and touching a piece of rough paper.
It was a piece of yellowed paper from a grid exercise book, with a line of writing in still-wet blood, the crooked handwriting looking like the naive writing of a primary school student.
"Why don't you play with me?"
In an instant, he retrieved the fragments of dark memories that had been sealed away in his childhood.
He saw the scene he saw as a child that day, and heard the whispers in his ear after dark from those "classmates" he was not familiar with.
"Lu Yibei, why don't you play with us?"
