Chapter 5 No One Survives 5

This time, she is no longer a third-person perspective.

"Dr. Fang, what are you doing standing here?"

The experimenter with three eyes looked at her with concern.

Yi Li was slightly stunned. Did it mutate so quickly?

She imitated Fang Xin and sighed, "Sorry, I've been having a headache lately. What can I do for you?"

She looked at the other person's name tag: "Li Jue."

Li Jue looked at the haggard Yi Li suspiciously: "Dr. Fang, do you know what we are researching recently?"

[System reminder: Don't let the dream mission reveal your flaws, or you will die immediately.]

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's over~"

"After all, she's an examiner. She doesn't have any points or items, so she can only increase her health by completing tasks issued by the system. And the tasks issued by the system only get harder and harder."

"I was just wondering if the system had given her a backdoor, allowing her to access the core of the game so quickly. Haha, it's here."

"Move the little stool and wait for her to die. I'm still waiting to see the Deer God."

There are already twenty people in Yili’s live broadcast room, and most of them are looking forward to Yili’s death.

"That's enough! Li Jue! Stop questioning me in that tone! I'm already annoyed enough! Okay?"

Yi Li's voice was filled with uncontrollable rage: "Do you also think that I am the running dog they call me, who can only flatter?"

Li Jue was so frightened that his third eye darted around: "Sorry! Dr. Fang! I shouldn't have just…"

"It's okay. I was a little emotionally unstable just now. Did I scare you?"

Yi Li stared at the panicked three-eyed boy Li Jue with a cold gaze. Li Jue was already trembling with fear and lowered her head in fear. She looked away and looked out the window. The sky outside was scarlet.

"No, no, Dr. Fang."

Li Jue was already frightened by Dr. Fang's anger and was at a loss as to what to do. He didn't even have the courage to doubt.

"001 hasn't been in a good mood lately, and its food demands have been increasing. It's been wanting to see Tohru."

Li Jue swallowed hard, lowered his head, and asked tentatively, "Dr. Fang, should we arrange for Tru to meet 001?"

Yili thought about the conversation just now, pondered for a moment, and coldly refused: "Meet 001's needs within the controllable range, but Tru and 001 are not allowed to meet."

"Okay, Dr. Fang." Li Jue turned around and left tremblingly.

Yi Li stood there, scanning the surroundings.

This is a rest area in the laboratory corridor. Paintings of marine animals are hung on the simple white walls. The reading corner against the wall is filled with various foreign language books, which are about protecting marine animals and marine plants.

She had just relied on her preconceived notions to shift the blame onto Li Jue, then used her emotional outburst to suppress her and temporarily dispel her suspicions. Her bet was that Li Jue feared and respected her as a doctor, and it seemed that her bet was right.

However, how could Li Jue suspect that he had the same face as Fang Xin but was not Fang Xin?

Have there been any cases of impersonation?

If this is true, it will be difficult to deal with.

She didn't know where Fang Xin's office was.

She really needed the information that Fang Xin had, even just a little bit.

But she couldn't act rashly now, because if she did something that didn't agree with Fang Xin, she would be suspected and then die.

Sure enough, 30 health points are not so easy to get.

Yi Li carefully searched Fang Xin's every move.

As a high-ranking researcher, Fang Xin treated Tru with a condescending and distant demeanor. Even when begging the other party, he did not put down his airs. Instead, he acted like he was coaxing a child to stop misbehaving.

Every move is filled with arrogance and dictatorship.

Therefore, the reason why Li Jue doubted herself just now was because Fang Xin would never speak to her in that tone.

The sudden change of identity and the unexpected attack almost exposed her.

Fortunately, he was scared.

At this moment, Li Jue turned around and came back.

"By the way, Dr. Fang, we need to go to your office to sign some documents."

Yi Li stood up, his expression cold, and looked at Li Jue with a bit of alienation: "Got it, let's go."

As expected, Li Jue did not show any suspicion in her eyes. Instead, she was used to Fang Xin like this. She walked beside Yi Li. When they arrived at the office, Li Jue secretly looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

"Just say whatever you want to say, don't play dumb with me."

This is the tone Dr. Fang usually speaks in.

Li Jue's doubts were somewhat dispelled.

"Dr. Fang, 001 just ran out."

Li Jue carefully observed Yi Li's expression.

Yi Li looked at Li Jue coldly: "What did you say?"

Li Jue mustered up the courage to repeat, "001 is missing."

"So you asked me to come to your office to sign this unexpected surprise? Li Jue, as one of my right-hand men, you really disappoint me. I always thought that although you were stupid, you could at least be saved. Now it seems that you are hopelessly stupid."

Yi Li took a deep breath, as if to suppress the rage in his heart: "Tell me, is this true or are you testing me to see if I am Fang Xin?"

Li Jue looked terrified and guilty: "I'm sorry, Dr. Fang, I'm just scared..."

"Stop talking and get out of here before I lose my temper."

Li Jue immediately went out carefully and helped Fang Xin close the door.

The barrage exploded.

"No? That's it?"

: "NPC wake up! She is a fake Fang Xin!"

: "NPC: Not sure, it should be true."

Yi Li breathed a sigh of relief after watching Li Jue leave. She felt like she was on a roller coaster, and the excitement made her feel nauseous.

Before this dream ends, she must find some clues so as not to return empty-handed.

Yi Li opened the drawer and saw an old notebook.

When I was about to pick it up, there was a click at the door.

Someone is coming.

Yili put the diary into the space and then hid in the independent toilet in the office.

She was not sure whether the person who came was the real Fang Xin or someone else.

Yi Li heard rustling sounds coming from the office.

"Who's in the bathroom?"

The people in the office stopped moving and looked towards the toilet, their voices filled with murderous intent and vigilance.

When Yi Li was about to push the door open and go out, he heard a mechanical sound beside his ear.

[The examiner has completed the first round of the mission. The second round will trigger a special plot. Health points will be increased by 30. The examiner's health points will be reduced by the consumed health points. The current health points are 68/100. I hope the examiner will continue to work hard and strive to survive.]

Yi Li looked at his health points which had just reached the passing line and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What time is it now?"

[6:30, 30 minutes left until the examinees gather.]

Yi Li got out of bed, staggered a little, and took a deep breath.

I feel like all my strength has been drained away.

She sat back on the bed and took out the diary.

The date is deliberately vague.

***year**month**day

Today is a sunny day. My daughter called me and asked when I would be home. I told her I would be back in a few days when I was free. She said she missed me, and I missed my daughter, too. But I couldn't go back yet. After I destroyed it, I would go back to be with her and take her to the playground she always wanted to go to.

***year**month**day

Marine life started becoming aggressive towards humans, so we closed off the ** waters and banned tourists. Tru's behavior became even more extreme. He ignored our warnings and went to the ocean, only to return covered in blood. What a riot! He remained quiet for a long time after returning, then bought a cruise ship. He stopped clamoring to bomb that island nation and focused instead on decorating his ship. I breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he stayed out of my way, I'd be grateful.

***year**month**day

Today I called my daughter, and she told me she saw me outside the school gate. I was shocked, as I hadn't left the institute at all. A bad feeling welled up in my head, and I sent someone to check if 001 was still there. Fortunately, it was, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling vaguely uneasy, I immediately went out and brought my daughter to the lab. Only with her by my side could I feel at ease.

***year**month**day

He's crazy! I was wrong! My daughter is in the most danger with me! It's too late! It's completely too late! I can't tell them apart anymore! My daughter has become sensitive, suspicious, and afraid of me. She said she wanted to kill her. Someone must have disguised me. I was so scared for the first time. I sent her to her father's house, which should be the safest place.

***year**month**day

Tru was right.

Yi Li looked at the diary which only had a few pages and fell into deep thought.

These should be what happened before she entered that dream.

No wonder the research institute was so wary of her.

Yi Li put the diary back and looked at the time. Fifteen minutes had passed.

When we arrived at the meeting place, quite a few people were already there.

Because they were all wearing uniformly distributed protective clothing, she had no idea what these people looked like.

But these people all stick together.
