Chapter 137 Black Mask

Library.

After Alice transformed into a female Buu and went to an unknown area, Jian Yiyi began to explore the library.

Soon he found the rules notice on the third floor of the library.

"No sound is allowed in the library."

"No flirting is allowed in the library."

"Please do not borrow books that are not related to learning in the library."

Based on flirting and no sound, Jian Yiyi tried them all.

And when these rules were triggered, Jian Yiyi clearly felt the birth of a strange atmosphere.

So at this moment, Jian Yiyi was suddenly very curious, what would happen if the third rule was triggered.

Now that Alice is not here, will there still be excess combat power?

There are many rules in the library.

But it seems that these rules seem to be very normal.

It's just that some rules seem too strict, but they are not out of the normal range.

Jian Yiyi pondered these rules.

He came to the novel area.

Rule three, in the library, it is forbidden to read books that are not related to learning.

Rule four, in the library, it is forbidden to create garbage.

Rule five, in the library, no books may be damaged.

Jian Yiyi's eyes swept across the bookshelf and soon found a novel "Golden Scales Are Not Things in the Pond". The name sounded like a very progressive and inspirational novel.

After flipping through a few pages, Jian Yiyi felt a certain aura surge.

Then, Jian Yiyi threw the book on the ground and tore off one of the pages.

Although it was wrong to destroy school property, Jian Yiyi didn't care about it at this time.

In this way, rules three, four and five were all triggered.

Jian Yiyi felt that the bookshelf was moving.

Countless books were floating in the air, all floating, with pages open.

It was like a demon opening its mouth. Jian Yiyi could see that whether it was the words or pictures on the pages, they all became distorted. The ink and brush that made up the words and pictures seemed to be pulled out and became curved thin lines in the void.

These thin lines gradually formed a net.

Consecutive violations of several rules also made Jian Yiyi convinced that the rules of this library were injected with strange power.

This was somewhat different from what he expected.

However, Jian Yiyi was very interested in fighting against this strange rule.

After all, this is the real world, not the old calendar world.

Even if the academy has become old calendar, it can't be as scary as the old calendar world.

Just like the ghost school mentioned by Alice in the old calendar world.

That is the real place that makes people shudder. In comparison, Jingquan College not only did not give Jian Yiyi a sense of fear, but also had a faint expectation of the strange rules here.

Of course, this expectation made Jian Yiyi take it seriously.

The tattoos all over his body began to surge. So that the situation that happened next made Jian Yiyi a little confused.

Thousands of books, densely packed like bats, were scattered around Jian Yiyi.

The words and patterns in the original books were also extracted from the ink that constructed them, twisted into a net in the air, ready to capture Jian Yiyi at any time.

But when Jian Yiyi showed his tattoos, the momentum he exuded was still above Alice.

So...

The net disappeared.

The books returned to the bookshelf. The book "Are Golden Scales Pond-like Things" was spread out 180 degrees, as if you were welcome to read it, and it was my honor to be read by you.

This made Jian Yiyi... suddenly a little confused.

The strange areas in the real world seemed to have some kind of self-protection mechanism, and they would quickly escape when encountering powerful enemies.

"The local old calendar area is really rude."

Jian Yiyi was a little annoyed.

It was meaningless to abide by the rules, and it was also meaningless to violate the rules.

Although Jian Yiyi attached great importance to this purification operation, it was because it involved too many ordinary people.

But with his and Alice's strength, it was already a sledgehammer to purify this elementary old calendar area.

However, Jian Yiyi was a little troubled about how to purify it.

The strange power was actively avoiding him, which he could never have imagined.

Just at this time, Jian Yiyi received a message.

Not only Jian Yiyi, but also Lan Yu and Gu Anxun, Cheng Wan and Duke, and Alice, all received this message.

"Team leader, team leader's wife, big star, I think I have found a clue."

The message came from Qin Ze. Because of the use of the special x-on:all members, the message will have a stronger notification.

So even in the process of action, everyone noticed it at the first time.

Lan Yu and Gu Anxun were still investigating the rules of the playground at this time, while Cheng Wan and Duke were on guard against the weird rules that were about to come.

After receiving this message, the happiest person was Alice.

Alice looked at the "team leader's wife" in the message and laughed foolishly.

"Xiao Ze, what did you find?" Jian Yiyi happened to have a lot of questions.

At this moment, Qin Ze and Gong Ping were in the "crime scene" circled by Gong Ping.

Qin Ze quickly replied to the message:

"Let me tell you first, the various rules that exist in Jingquan College..."

"The rules of the playground area are mostly related to confrontation. You can't have fun in the playground. You must exercise."

"You can't date on the playground."

"Those who participate in sports will only be eligible to enter the gym if they get a very high ranking."

"The gym is a place for only the strong. If you need to get into the gym, get it from someone who is already qualified."

"Those whose grades in cultural classes are too low are not allowed to enter the playground."

"When you do exercises in the morning, your movements must be standard and there shouldn't be any laziness."

"When a sports meeting is held, the audience should be in the stands and no waste should be generated."

"You can't say things like don't rain on the playground."

"When you step onto the rubber runway, please make sure your journey will exceed four hundred meters. And ultimately it will be a multiple of four hundred meters..."

Qin Ze's fingers moved quickly and he updated about a dozen rules about the playground.

Afterwards, Qin Ze began to talk about the rules of the library.

Including but not limited to the rules that Jian Yiyi has explored.

Not just a library

Qin Ze has probably updated hundreds of rules in each area including the laboratory building, teaching building, classrooms, canteen, and so on.

In other words, this school is surrounded by countless rules.

So much so that Alice felt that she had inadvertently broken many rules.

Cheng Wan, Duke, Lan Yu and Gu Anxun were all frightened by Qin Ze's series of messages, which were so long that scroll bars appeared.

This is really an exaggeration.

Gu Anxun felt a strong sense of unwillingness. He and Lan Yu had realized that this area was not simple, but Qin Ze seemed to have thoroughly explored the rules of the entire campus.

It's like the teacher handed out a test paper, and he hurriedly wrote down his name. Although the questions were difficult, they were all knowledge points that he could do.

But just as he was about to pick up his pen, someone handed in a paper filled with correct answers.

"Qin Ze, how do you know this?"

Gu Anxun gritted his teeth and asked the question. Lan Yu saw it and was inexplicably amused.

But then I thought - maybe the feeling that Qin Ze gives to Gu Anxun now is just like the feeling that Jian Yiyi gave to him back then...

He couldn't laugh again.

Cheng Wan and Duke were not that surprised, but they still sighed:

"Mr. Qin Ze is so efficient! He is so amazing."

This seems to have been said since the first time the two met Qin Ze, before Qin Ze joined the company.

Duke said:

"Cheng Wan, we have to learn from Qin Ze."

More than a hundred rules were brought out by Qin Ze. After all the rules were listed, Qin Ze explained:

"I have detectives."

Indeed, the MVP this time was not Qin Ze. Qin Ze was only responsible for delineating a "crime scene".

All the students in the dormitory were "assimilated", and the behavior of these students at home was surprisingly consistent.

Qin Ze then guessed that there were certain rules in this school, and only those who could fully meet these rules were free.

But these rules are not easy to achieve.

For example, it is impossible not to create garbage or waste food in the canteen.

In other words, if the definition standards of the rules are too strict, these are very anti-human standards.

Based on the behavior of the nobles of the Noble Academy, even if they really understand that "every grain of rice on the plate has been worked hard" and cannot be wasted, how many people can do "Operation CD" without wasting a grain of rice?

Not to mention that you are not allowed to make any noise in the library, so sometimes you speak inadvertently.

The fact that you fall asleep immediately after turning off the lights in the dormitory is even more disappointing.

At least Qin Ze himself couldn't fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

In short, in Qin Ze's opinion, it is impossible for any student to meet all of these rules.

And these students, without exception, were "assimilated" and their souls were imprisoned somewhere.

In other words, there is only one kind of person in the school.

That is a person who has lost his sense of self.

There was only one exception, and that was He Kuan, so Qin Ze guessed that maybe the source of the strangeness would pay special attention to He Kuan.

Qin Ze chose He Kuan's dormitory as the crime scene.

With the help of detective Gong Ping, through various things in the dormitory and the clothes on the motionless "people" lying in the dormitory, a steady stream of information poured into Gong Ping's mind.

Therefore, through detective Gong Ping, Qin Ze harvested all the "weird rules" about this area at an extremely fast speed.

Qin Ze continued:

"I won't go into details here about the wonderful use of the great detective Gong Ping."

"What I'm about to say is the point."

"Team leader, I suspect this place has not been invaded by Old Calendar creatures."

From Yu Sheng's initial description, Qin Ze thought that there was an extremely serious double invasion in this area.

One is the appearance of the distorted Old Calendar, that is, the Black Calendar, and the other is the appearance of "Advent", that is, the Old Calendar creature.

Old calendar creatures appeared and polluted the area, causing the area around the area to become old calendar.

All kinds of strange rules appear.

But Qin Ze found something wrong through these rules.

"Ozawa, keep talking."

Qin Ze said:

"We have all been to the Land of Old History, team leader. We understand that that place is full of weird rules, but most of the rules are messy and unsystematic."

"But the rules here are all related to the campus. They are all overcorrected versions of various school regulations."

"More than a hundred rules, without exception, each rule is to improve students' academic performance, force students to study, read books, or just maintain the dignity and cleanliness of the school, etc."

"This doesn't seem like an area that an old calendar creature would create."

Jian Yiyi frowned slightly.

This really doesn't seem like something an old calendar creature would do.

"It seems that Alice and I made a wrong judgment. This is not a reverse path..."

Qin Ze quickly replied:

"It feels to me that these rules are more like rules that the administrators of Jingquan College would create."

"It's like... a person makes a wish to a certain evil god, but the wish is distorted."

Qin Ze really thinks so.

He always feels that these rules, although some of them are very fatal and nonsense.

But some of these rules do hope that students will become better.

For example, in the library, books that are not related to learning cannot be borrowed.

This is very overbearing, and the cost of violating this rule is not small.

But if you follow this rule, it will indeed make people's grades better.

Therefore, Qin Ze felt that this was more like some originally reasonable school rules that were distorted and given strange power, becoming no longer reasonable, but harsh and terrifying.

For example, once you borrow other irrelevant books, you will be attacked by the books.

"Speaking of which, I met a guy who can fulfill people's wishes a few days ago, but the price is competition. Team leader, is there a prop that can fulfill people's wishes... but it is a distorted wish?"

Qin Ze's words gave Jian Yiyi and Alice a new answer:

"Hold the black mask!"

The two almost sent these four words in the chat group at the same time.

Qin Ze thought that the two of them really had a tacit understanding, and he asked:

"What is the Black Mask?"

Alice said:

"The function of the Black Mask is to amplify and distort a person's desires, and to regularize the desires to a certain extent. It may affect oneself, or it may affect the surroundings, or... have an impact."

"The Black Mask is a prop in the Old Calendar Realm. It will disguise itself as anything that can be worn on the body."

"For example, pipes, earrings, rings, masks, necklaces, hats..."

"In short, if you explore the Old Calendar Realm and some props that are not counted in the calendar appear, you have to be careful. Is this thing a Black Mask?"

Cheng Wan, Duke Qin Ze, Gong Ping, together with Gu Anxun and Lan Yu, were all shocked.

It turns out that the old calendar objects in the Old Calendar Realm are not 100% safe...

"I can't tell you the reason why the Black Mask appeared, because it is in the Golden Calendar manuscript."

Alice didn't continue, but she knew that Jian Yiyi must know it.

Jian Yiyi looked solemn at this time.

It was not because this incident was difficult, but because he knew that what Alice said was most likely true.

In the Golden Calendar manuscript, there was a record of an old calendar master who called himself "Wake Up Dream", there was such a description:

The black and white of the calendar will continue to tilt. The more fallen people there are, the more power the fallen value god will have. If black and white are reversed...

Then the black mask will appear.

The power of the person wearing the mask will be amplified, and the desire will become part of the rules. Even if they do not commit crimes, as long as they wear the mask, they will hear whispers.

And when the mask is completely welded to the soul, it will never be able to take off the mask, and they will become slaves of the fallen value god.

Jian Yiyi is not afraid of picking up the weird source of the black mask.

There is another description in the Golden Calendar manuscript:

"The black mask appeared, but then it disappeared completely, because among the old calendar people, the number of white calendar people once again exceeded the black calendar people."

In other words, there was a period of time in history when the number of black calendar people was more than that of white calendar people, which led to the appearance of the black mask.

But later, as the White Calendarists regained the majority of positions, the Black Mask disappeared completely.

Alice and Jian Yiyi both thought that this thing would only appear in the Golden Calendar manuscript, and it was just something that existed in history but eventually disappeared...

But now, the two realized that if it was really an administrator of Jingquan College who wore the Black Mask...

That means that from a certain moment, the number of Black Calendarists has exceeded that of White Calendarists.

Jian Yiyi remembered that Qin Ze said that this case happened four weeks ago...

Four weeks ago, it was the time before and after Nuwa disappeared.

Jian Yiyi felt that Nuwa's treasure on the rainy night was just a cover.

What Nuwa really did might be more valuable than the fortune treasure.

Qin Ze didn't know this. He hadn't read the Golden Calendar manuscript and didn't know what the appearance of the Black Mask meant.

He only knew one thing:

"If someone wears the Black Mask, then what we have to do now is to find this person and take off this person's mask!"

(I want to apologize to everyone here. I received a notice from the editor yesterday afternoon saying that Chapter 135 was reviewed and reviewed. Because it cannot involve campus themes, the original story of eight people, four teams and four lines can only be drastically cut off and simply and crudely accelerated to the next plot node. I am not being perfunctory here. When writing Chapter 134, I had planned it. Qin Ze was responsible for promoting the plot, and the other people explored different places to do further character portrayal. But campus should not be used here. I should have changed it to the workplace. But it has been paved since Hu Dongfeng appeared, so there is no way to change it temporarily. I can only promise that I will avoid this type of theme in the subsequent copies. I apologize again! Regarding the content of Jingquan College, I will try my best to avoid keywords and speed up the plot.)
