The unknown person in Honkai Impact 3 - #226 - Chapter 280: Midnight Terror

I don’t know how long it took.

The sound of “rustling” sounded in the silent night.

The sound was particularly strange, like a sharp knife being rubbed against a blackboard. It was creepy.

Bronya was gradually awakened by the sound.

“who is it?”

She opened her eyes suddenly and stood up on alert.

The sound disappeared for a moment.

Lifeless moonlight shone in from the toilet window, and Bronya looked around in surprise.

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 bulging. It seemed that they were sleeping soundly.

The sound just now was very harsh. Logically speaking, if these three people heard it, they would be woken up. But now they still sleep soundly.

Was she hallucinating?

impossible.

Bronya had never had a hallucination, and neither had “Bronya”.

“strangeness.”

There was nothing else to gain, Bronya thought to herself, then got out of bed and went to the toilet.

This time she was clear-headed.

But as soon as she stepped into the toilet, the sight in front of her shocked Bronya and made her take a step back.

She opened her eyes wide and couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

Directly opposite the toilet door is the window. Through the window, you can see the scenery outside.

At this moment, Bronya could clearly see that there were densely packed “people” gathering 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 and their feet were as heavy as lead, walking one step at a time.

Bronya looked further away – the crowd was like a zombie, walking stiffly towards the teaching building.

Next to this group of people, there was a group of people dressed in black. They stood on both sides of the crowd with their hands behind their backs, as if they were monitoring this group of walking dead.

The surging crowd were all still wearing the uniforms of Jiyi School. Bronya could not mistake them. These people were all students of Jiyi School.

【Ding! 】

The emotionless electronic sound sounded in Bronya’s mind, almost startling her again.

[Player: Bronya Zaicek, you have the latest news. 】

[Player: Bronya Zaicek, you have entered the “Dark Night” and you have received a new task. 】

[Mission 1: Survive tonight’s “dark night” without being discovered. 】

[Task 2: Investigate the truth about “Dark Night”. 】

Bronya quickly scanned the new mission.

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

1: It is still night, and it is a “dark night” state. Judging from the new tasks, the dark night state is very dangerous.

Two: You can’t just hide. The “dark night” state is obviously related to the main mission, and may even be a key breakthrough.

Wait, it’s still night?

Bronya suddenly felt a sense of separation.

The last time I got up from bed, I was attacked by a man in black. There were still many unanswered questions about that attack.

This time, I encountered something unusual again – and it was probably related to the main mission.

However, both times were at night, isn’t it a little strange?

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

She was not prompted to enter the “dark night” state last time.

There’s a hint this time

By the way, time!

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

No one in the dormitory wore 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 summon her task list in her mind.

[Main mission (all selected)]

[1: Find out the strange stories about Jiyi School. Relative difficulty level: three stars. 】

[Two: Eliminate the weirdness in Jiyi School. Relative difficulty coefficient: five stars. 】

[Side mission (all selected)]

[One (only): Find out the murderer who wants to kill “Bronya”. Relative difficulty coefficient: three stars]

[Two: Get first/top ten/top thirty/top fifty/top one hundred grades in the final exam. Relative difficulty coefficient: five stars/four stars/three stars/two stars/one star. 】

[Challenge mission. 】

[1: Survive the Night of One Hundred Ghosts. 】

[Two: Solve the source of ghost stories. 】

[3: Destroy Jiyi School]

[Countdown: 119:58:01]

this time

After Bronya did a simple calculation, her heart sank to the bottom.

5 days is 120 hours. The last time she looked at this time, it 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 exactly 120:00:00.

At this point in time, it’s very thought-provoking.

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

After she settled for a while, she went up and opened all the quilts on all the beds.

Under the bulging quilt, the bodies of the three people were still there.

Bronya checked for breath—all three of them were breathing.

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

——I’m afraid, the group of people just now are not people, but “souls”.

This guess is ridiculous. However, based on the main mission this time, Bronya believed that her guess was pretty 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 heavy-duty 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.

In the silent night, there was no sound. 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 through the toilet window before, and the clothes of the group of people standing on both sides of the crowd were completely different.

“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.
