Chapter 280: Midnight Fright

I don't know how long it took.

The sound of "rustling" sounded in the silent night.

This sound was very strange, as if a sharp knife was constantly rubbing on a blackboard, which was creepy.

Bronya was gradually awakened by the sound.

"Who is it?"

She suddenly opened her eyes, stood up and entered a state of alert.

The sound disappeared in a moment.

The lifeless moonlight shone in from the window of the toilet, and Bronya looked around in doubt.

It was quiet all around. From Bronya's perspective, there was no movement on the beds of Lin Mengjie, Zhao Ximeng, and Wang Yan. The quilts were all round and bulging, and it seemed that they were also sleeping soundly.

The sound just now was very harsh. Logically speaking, if these three people heard it, they should have been awakened. But now they are still sleeping soundly.

Did she hear it?

Impossible.

Bronya has never heard it, and neither has "Bronya".

"Strange."

Without any other gains, Bronya said to herself and got out of bed to go to the bathroom.

This time she was very clear-headed.

But as soon as she stepped into the bathroom, the scene in front of her startled Bronya and made her take a step back.

She opened her eyes wide and couldn't believe what she saw.

The bathroom door was facing the window. Through the window, you can see the scenery outside.

At this moment, Bronya could clearly see that there were densely packed "people" outside the window.

She even saw Lin Mengjie and Zhao Ximeng.

The temperament of these two people was completely different from what Bronya had seen before. Now, their movements were stiff, their feet were as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and they walked one step at a time.

Bronya looked further away - the crowd was like zombies, walking stiffly towards the teaching building.

Next to this group of people, there was a group of people in black clothes, standing on both sides of the crowd with their hands behind their backs, as if they were monitoring this group of zombies.

The surging crowd was still wearing the uniforms of the Jiyi School. Bronya would not make a mistake. These people were all students of Jiyi School.

[Ding! ]

The emotionless electronic sound sounded in Bronya's mind, and almost scared Bronya again.

[Player: Bronya Zaychek, you have the latest news. ]

[Player: Bronya Zaychek, you have entered the "Dark Night" and you have received a new task. ]

[Task 1: Don't be discovered and survive tonight's "Dark Night". ]

[Task 2: Investigate the truth of "Dark Night". ]

Bronya quickly scanned the new tasks.

She calmed down and made a simple judgment on her current situation.

1: It is still night, and it is the "Dark Night" state. Judging from the new task, the Dark Night state is very dangerous.

2: I can't just hide. The "Dark Night" state is obviously related to the main task, and it may even be a key breakthrough.

Wait, it's still night?

Bronya suddenly felt a sense of disconnection.

The last time she woke up from sleep, she was attacked by a man in black, and there were still many questions about that attack that were not solved.

This time, she woke up and encountered something unusual again - and it was very likely related to the main quest.

However, both times were at night, isn't it a bit strange?

Bronya didn't get up frequently at night before, and usually slept until dawn.

Last time, she didn't get prompted to enter the "dark night" state.

This time, there was a prompt

Oh, time!

Why didn't she think of checking what time it was now!

No one in the dormitory brought a watch, but Bronya had another way to check the time.

She hasn't tried this method yet, but it should work.

Bronya tried to call up her task bar in her mind.

【Countdown: 119:58:01】

This time

Bronya made a simple calculation and her heart sank to the bottom.

5 days is 120 hours. The last time she looked at this time was more than 6 days.

The difference between these two times is more than a day.

In addition, combined with this time, Bronya has another speculation.

Perhaps, she woke up at 120:00:00.

This time is very intriguing.

Bronya stepped back and turned to look at the beds of her three roommates again.

After she paused for a while, she went up and turned over the quilts of all the beds.

The bodies of the three people were still there in the bulging quilts.

Bronya checked her breathing - all three of them were breathing.

Thinking of the large number of people she had just seen gathering together and walking towards the teaching building, Bronya had a guess in her mind.

- I'm afraid that the group of people just now were not people, but "souls".

This guess is ridiculous. However, based on the main mission this time, Bronya believed that her guess was accurate.

"Reloading Bunny 19c"

Bronya called softly.

The next moment, behind her, a mecha floating in the air suddenly appeared.

——Unlike before, in the dungeon, Bronya’s heavily armored bunny does not follow Bronya all the time. It is in a special space and will appear when Bronya calls it.

Moreover, Bronya previously controlled the Heavy Rabbit through the Valkyrie Armor. In the copy, she can control it with her mind.

When she summoned the heavily armored bunny before, Bronya had this news in her mind.

Bronya stroked the heavily dressed bunny and felt a little more at ease.

"However, if Bronya's guess is correct, this incident may be related to the 'ghost'. In this case, I'm afraid the reloaded bunny won't be of much help."

Bronya sighed in frustration, then shook her head and walked cautiously to the door of the dormitory.

There was no other way to get directly outside the dormitory door. Bronya didn't dare to open the door rashly before she was sure it was safe.

She placed her identity on the door and listened carefully to the outside world.

There was no sound in the silent night. There was no sound but the beating of her own heart and her own faint breathing.

Bronya gritted her teeth and put her hand on the dormitory door bolt. Open the door slowly.

There was indeed no one in the corridor outside, the moon could not shine here, and Bronya could not see anything clearly in the dark night.

Bronya did not rush out, but let the heavy-armed rabbit check the surrounding environment first.

The radar shows normal.

This does not completely guarantee that there will be no danger around.

But it's not Bronya's style to be timid.

Bronya walked out.

She walked carefully to the dormitory next door.

She touched the doorknob in the dark and tried to open it.

As she expected, the door was locked.

The same goes for the next dormitory door.

Bronya stopped when she reached the stairs.

Heavy Rabbit's radar showed that there was a person standing there at the corner of the corridor.

If it can be detected by the radar of the heavy rabbit, it must be a person.

In this case

Bronya made a decision in her heart.

She made the heavily armored rabbit invisible and controlled him to slowly approach the person.

With a precise punch, the man instantly fainted and fell to the ground.

Bronya reacted quickly and asked the heavily armored rabbit to catch the man, lest the sound of his falling would cause other incidents.

After that, Bronya quietly walked down the stairs and came to the man.

The man was wearing black clothes and a black mask. Bronya lifted his black mask.

"Bronya has the impression that this person is a teacher in the class downstairs?" Looking at the man's face, Bronya frowned.

This person's clothes were similar to what Bronya had seen earlier through the toilet window, the clothes of the group of people standing on both sides of the crowd.

"Are those people also teachers in the school?"

Bronya thought of this naturally.

Then, she remembered her class teacher.

"Will she be among this group?"

Bronya couldn't help but think.

The students' souls walked numbly towards the teaching building, but the teacher was watching from the side like a monitor.

This Jiyi school really has a big problem.

Bronya carefully placed the teacher on the floor and continued walking down.

The destination of that group of students was obviously the teaching building. There might be some key clue there.

She would definitely try to visit the teaching building.

Bronya walked down cautiously without realizing that a pair of eyes had been watching her every move.
