It was completely dark.

Cheng Ye closed his eyes and fell into an extremely quiet contemplation.

He leaned slightly against the wall and kept summarizing all the information he had just obtained.

Time passes minute by minute...

The children around them couldn't figure out the reason, and gradually became silent.

Later, I don't know who suddenly said: "It's been a long time since I've broadcast."

Cheng Ye opened his eyes.

Yes, they haven't caught anyone for a long time.

The entire teaching building fell into silence.

It's like they abandoned this area.

The last sound of the broadcast stopped at the 79th person.

Didn't reach target number...

What happens next?

Just as I was thinking about it, the ethereal girl's voice sounded again.

I don't know why, but her voice has a feeling that penetrates my soul.

Cheng Ye frowned and forced himself to accept her voice.

…

Nothing special.

Almost the same as the previous game.

There are three stages of hide-and-seek, and the third stage is still a maze composed of towering vines.

The vines are like a beating pulse.

Have your own breathing and rhythm.

He and Tang Huan were still sitting on the wall.

He still sacrificed Tang Huan.

No matter why, under the circumstances at that time, if the test must produce results, sacrifices must be made.

Apart from himself, the only person left to sacrifice was Tang Huan.

After getting the information he wanted and ending the last ten minutes, Cheng Ye was on his way to the canteen.

His mentality is very peaceful.

Since he decided to comply with what was shown on the note, he has relaxed a lot.

He now feels like a bystander who only occasionally passes by this world, takes a look at the people and things in it, and then leaves.

He queued up in an orderly manner with the dining trays in the canteen and served meals.

While eating, he once again lamented the children's "observance of discipline".

No one jumped in line, everyone was waiting in line.

Let's go to the teaching building in the afternoon and take a look.

Cheng Ye recalled the strange place in the teaching building in the morning. The teaching building was not a restricted area. It should be okay to explore it.

The difference from the last time was that this time while eating, Cheng Ye kept observing the people around him.

He soon discovered an interesting phenomenon.

The children will soon gather together to play together, but if someone goes out to get soup or something like that, and it takes a long time, when they come back, except for that person's teammates, everyone else will not recognize him by default.

Already.

There will be a delay of a second or two, and then you will be reacquainted.

The children didn't think too much, and no one cared about this little detail.

Very interesting.

It's like a program that is so limited that you will no longer remember anyone else except your teammates in the same group.

so……

Cheng Ye deduced a more interesting thing from this.

The number of boys in the entire orphanage is 169.

If you divide by 2, you can't divide it completely.

But if you remove yourself, it is just right and can be removed.

Tang Huan mentioned another boy's name.

It is very possible that Shang Jie is his good friend and he is the redundant one.

So, it's a hide and seek with yourself.

He cannot be discovered, he is the extra person.

Cheng Ye smiled and continued to eat the food on the plate slowly.

The food here is really good. Although the taste is a little bit off, the ingredients are all good.

It feels like eating from a big pot before.

The faint fragrance of firewood.

Cheng Ye left the cafeteria after eating. He didn't know that Tang Huan would come, so he didn't wait for Tang Huan.

Head to the teaching building alone.

The teaching building is not a forbidden area. Cheng Ye relaxed physically and mentally and treated it as a tourist visit.

There are ten classrooms on the first floor. Each classroom has tables and blackboards, which are no different from ordinary classrooms.

Cheng Yedu walked in and took a look.

A mutilated map and a metal badge were found in different classrooms.

The badge is a bit dull and looks a bit old.

It's in the shape of a triangle.

Cheng Ye weighed it in the palm of his hand. It had some weight and it should be made of iron.

I'm not sure what the map is. There's only half of the map, which is the location of a valley. Other than that, there's no useful information.

Cheng Ye put away the two things and went up to the second floor.

There are two classrooms near the right side. It seems that no one has entered these two classrooms for a long time.

It's all dust.

Cheng Ye walked in and explored casually.

In the drawer, on the podium.

Nothing useful.

Although it looks old, there is nothing superfluous about it.

Starting from the third room, it's like a storage room or something.

Cheng Ye opened a room at will.

It must have been a long time since anyone came. The green iron cabinet was leaning against the wall. It was no different from the cabinet I hid in when I played hide and seek in the morning.

Cheng Ye opened each iron cabinet and found a missing cotton coat in one of the iron cabinets.

This dress looks quite thick and can keep out the cold to a certain extent, but it is very worn and dirty and has a lot of old blood stains on it.

Cheng Ye came closer and smelled it.

Sour and fishy.

Cheng Ye raised his eyebrows and put his hands into his pockets, carefully searching for every place where he could hide things.

Nothing was found.

This is just an ordinary piece of clothing, I don't know who left it here.

Since Cheng Ye is moving forward.

He did not miss any room and searched every room carefully.

By the time he got to the third floor, two hours had passed.

The third floor is even stranger.

There are two office-like rooms.
