Within the infinite game instances, players hid in disarray, eagerly hoping to find a safe house. Here, by paying a certain reward to the ghosts and gods, they could safely pass through da...
Chapter 30 School for the Blind
"Are you here to see me?"
"How did you know I was here?"
"Do you still want to get to know me?"
In the dark room, Xu Zhiyan felt his scalp tingling when he heard the three fatal calls behind him.
This is unreasonable!
Wasn’t Bai Jin blocked by the system?
The reason why he created chaos during the physical examination in an attempt to finish the dungeon as quickly as possible was because he planned to speed up the process while Bai Jin was still in solitary confinement, and then find a safe house and escape.
It’s only the first day, why would I meet Bai Jin so early?
This bedroom was fine when he first came, but how come there's suddenly another guy here now?
As if he had thought of something, Xu Zhiyan reached out and summoned the task panel.
[Additional Task: Find a Safe House]
[Progress: 65%]
Sure enough! The progress is only 65!
In other words, although there is Bai Jin here, it is not a safe house, nor is it the most dangerous place in the dungeon.
With the current concept in mind, Xu Zhiyan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He cleared his throat and asked, "Weren't you blocked? Were you released in advance?"
"No."
Bai Jin's resentful voice came from behind.
"But my 'real body' is nearby, and I sensed that you were here too, so I thought I'd try my luck..."
My luck is really not that good, Xu Zhiyan thought.
"True body? What true body..." he asked.
But unfortunately, this time before Bai Jin could answer, the game panel popped up diligently.
[I hope players will complete the mission honestly and not always try to take shortcuts. ]
[All the things that players cannot know will be blocked. Please be careful and do not always deceive the dungeon boss. ]
Immediately afterwards, Xu Zhiyan felt that he clearly heard Bai Jin’s answer, but he still couldn’t understand it.
Is this what it feels like to be blocked?
It seems like the sound is mosaiced, which is a bit sad.
Seeing that there was no hope of getting any information out of Bai Jin, Xu Zhiyan began to explain: "When you say something that the game doesn't allow players to know, the sound will be blocked. I didn't hear a word you said just now."
He couldn't wait to pick himself out first.
After all, he has deceived Bai Jin many times, and he doesn't know how to cover up the previous tricks. If Bai Jin just said something that he should be responsible for, and he didn't hear it at all, then he can't take the blame.
The next moment, Xu Zhiyan felt the hand holding him from behind pause.
"All right."
There was a hint of grievance in Bai Jin's voice.
Xu Zhiyan sighed and motioned for the other party to let go of him: "Let go first, let's sit down and talk. I remember there is a night light that can still be turned on."
"Don't turn on the light."
Bai Jin rejected the suggestion to turn on the light without a second thought, and held Xu Zhiyan's hand even tighter.
Xu Zhiyan felt like he was almost strangled to death!
But the crazy and delicate guy behind him was very nervous, so he didn't dare to provoke him rashly and could only pat the man's arm.
"Okay, okay, I won't open it, but you have to let go, or you will kneel down and beg me not to die right now."
After he finished speaking, Xu Zhiyan clearly felt the hand holding him loosen.
He was now a little curious about what Bai Jin would look like ten years later.
The first time they were in the abandoned administrative building, the other party was also hiding in the dark. When they met for the second time after returning to the correct time, the other party did not reveal himself, but was hiding in the dark dormitory.
All in all, this was the third time he had seen Bai Jin as an adult.
But the other party still refused to turn on the light and even deliberately broke the light source in his room.
After three meetings, Bai Jin was unwilling to face him head-on.
He felt Bai Jin's forehead against the back of his neck, and he could feel the slight tremors when he spoke.
"Are you leaving?"
It was clearly a question, but Bai Jin said it in an affirmative tone.
"……cough."
Xu Zhiyan coughed lightly, not knowing how to answer.
Perhaps because they were too close, he could feel his heart pounding rapidly.
He didn't have any complicated feelings towards Bai Jin. He did sympathize with him at first, but as the secrets of the first week were revealed, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong to Bai Jin.
Whether it is to save reporter Liu or prepare plan B.
Xu Zhiyan has always been doing what he thinks is right.
As for the side quests and props obtained by deception?
Really, how can emotional matters be measured by material things!
As if he had made up his mind, Xu Zhiyan raised his hand and tried to touch Bai Jin's face.
After confirming that the skin his fingers touched was warm human skin, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I can't stay here."
Since Bai Jin could say this in an affirmative sentence, it meant that the other party must have also received some information from the game system. It would not be a smart move to lie to him and say that he would stay in a few days.
Just as Xu Zhiyan expected, when this answer came out, Bai Jin just remained silent and did not make any fatal move.
But it’s not a good idea to keep doing this.
While Bai Jin was stunned, Xu Zhiyan turned around from his arms and stood face to face with Bai Jin.
"I can get you out of here."
Although he couldn't see anything, Xu Zhiyan still said firmly.
The safe house system has been introduced before. If he can successfully find an unopened safe house hidden in the copy, he can unlock and upgrade the safe house system.
In addition to some options that benefit dungeon players, there will also be many strange upgrade benefits.
He remembered that one of the features was the ability to take NPCs captured by players in the dungeon and bring them into the safe house as part of the upgraded staffing.
Although he originally planned to take Qu Ji away, if Bai Jin really wanted to leave the dungeon, he would find a way. At worst, he could just borrow points and level up twice first.
The room fell silent.
After a long time, Bai Jin slowly spoke.
"I can't leave the copy."
"Can you please not leave?"
Xu Zhiyan was confused.
What’s going on? Is he addicted to being the boss?
However, he has already decided on the plan, and it is up to Bai Jin to decide how to choose. If the other party insists on not leaving the copy, he will not force it.
But he will never stay!
Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyan groped and hugged the other person's face.
Bai Jin's voice seemed to be becoming unstable again. He was afraid that the other party was going crazy, so he decided to comfort him before leaving.
"Wait for me for two more days. I promise that when you are released from the blockade, I will find a way to satisfy me and give you an answer."
Xu Zhiyan spoke very quickly, afraid that the other party would hear that he said "make me satisfied" instead of "make you satisfied".
Not sure if Bai Jin will go crazy right there.
After he finished speaking, he stood on tiptoe, hugged the other person's neck, and prepared to lean over and kiss the other person's cheek...
Just when Xu Zhiyan felt his lips about to touch the other person's soft skin, the next second, Bai Jin on the opposite side seemed to disappear!
He staggered forward several steps and almost fell to the ground.
The lights in the dormitory came on, and Xu Zhiyan sat back on the bed silently, frowning.
"Snap"
When changing positions, he deliberately took out the Golden Lynx from the system backpack. Now the Golden Lynx was thrown on the bed, and the golden hand/gun was shining sharply under the light.
Xu Zhiyan stroked his chin and muttered to himself: "Did he run away because he was shy, or did he find out that I had a gun?"
After discovering that Bai Jin was unwilling to show his true face, he always felt that something was wrong. For double insurance, he chose to use props to protect himself.
But if he disappeared because he was shy, Bai Jin might be unexpectedly innocent?
The barrage changed from Aoaoao to Ahhhh and then to???
[Wait? What's going on? ]
[Ah... I thought Xiao Baiwan was being arrested to perform a live pornographic show. ]
[Chun Ni Ma, it’s so dark, I can’t see anything]
[Hey, do you think the privacy policy is just for show? Even if they do it, we can't see it! ]
[I took off my pants, and all that was left on the bed was Xiao Baiwan and the gun? Wait, where did he get the gun? When did he find it?]
【Teardrop mole beauty and revolver.avi】
[…Can you hear the boss’ voice? Why are many words blocked when I hear them here? Damn, I can’t connect them at all.]
[Back upstairs, it’s all like this]
[Yes, this usually triggers blocked words, but it's so strange, what is the content? Why can't we, the audience, listen to it?! ]
However, a few people noticed that Xu Zhiyan started to tell the truth.
[That's good, Xiao Baiwan. He finally didn't trick the boss into staying this time. ]
[Who said that? He even lied to the boss and said he wanted to take someone away. Where did he take him? Even if he was the boss, he couldn't come to Shell to buy a house. ]
[Hey, it sounds like you, a player, can buy a house in Shell. ]
The 'shell' mentioned in the live broadcast room is the name of a gathering place for game players, similar to a place where players transfer before and after entering and leaving the game.
Xu Zhiyan, who had just sent Bai Jin away, had no idea what the comments were discussing, and even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.
He didn't take the trouble to go out and explore the new school for the blind.
After a quick wash, Xu Zhiyan slept until dawn.
The next day, morning.
The new blind school is located underground, has only one floor and is fully equipped.
As soon as Xu Zhiyan changed his clothes and left the dormitory, he felt countless surveillance eyes surrounding him.
Those gazes that seemed to be materializing followed me everywhere.
No matter if it was the guards passing by or other teachers and students, almost everyone stared at him without blinking.
He got up late, and it seemed that Yao Xianxian and others had already finished their meal and were doing their own things.
Only Jinsheng was still sitting in the cafeteria, with a lot of orange peels in front of him. It seemed that he had nothing to do so he just sat there eating oranges for the whole morning.
Seeing Xu Zhiyan coming, Jin Sheng took the initiative to invite him to sit opposite him.
He behaved naturally, as if everything was the same as before.
"Would you like to eat some oranges? The principal told us to take a break these few days and resume classes next week. Xianxian and the others think this place is very new and they want to explore it." As he spoke, Jin Sheng handed over a peeled orange that was loosely wrapped in the skin.
Xu Zhiyan took the orange and took out a piece of paper from it while eating it.
[The school doctor will die from a fall during lunch later.]
"Hmm, so sweet!" Xu Zhiyan nodded with a smile and praised Jin Shenghui for its selection of oranges.
After he finished eating the whole orange, he touched his forehead and frowned, "I dreamed yesterday that someone fell down. I couldn't see his face, but his back was very familiar. So what is the probability of death from the fall?"
"It's very low, but if there happened to be a hard object or a nail on the ground at that time, it seems reasonable." Jin Sheng replied.
The two of them chatted casually.
Everyone around, including the people getting food at the cafeteria window, was staring at this side.
In the cafeteria kitchen, the principal listened to the guard reporting every word and action of Xu Zhiyan in detail, and was very satisfied.
Everyone was looking at the student who was said to be able to see the future.
The school doctor was also under strict protection by them and locked in the pharmacy. No one had the key except the principal.
"If the school doctor is really dead, then we can have our 'future' again! That's great! I was transferred from a big city and have worked hard here for ten years. Finally, there will be results!" The principal said excitedly to the guards around him.
But the guard just remained silent.
They have no interest in the "future" of this school, it is nothing more than a carnival for the rich.
What's more, as an ordinary person, he doesn't believe the rumors here at all.
For the worker-guards who do the job for money, although everything here is dirty and everyone has lives on their hands, the salary here is high!
In the cafeteria, Xu Zhiyan also joined Jinsheng's orange peeling activity.
He knew that if he revealed his future as a school doctor, he would be under surveillance, so he simply did nothing. The two of them peeled oranges together out of boredom, and they peeled until noon.
When the news of the school doctor's death came, Jin Sheng had just brought a juicer from the kitchen and squeezed out six large cups of juice. The two of them almost vomited from drinking so much.
The guards were in commotion and the principal flashed past the kitchen. From the sound, it seemed that an ambulance had arrived upstairs.
Ge Lun and Wei Linda came to the cafeteria as agreed and paid no attention to the riot.
He took the juice and gulped it down. After he was full, Ge Lun said, "It's all cold."
Xu Zhiyan knew that the other party meant that the school doctor had died and could not be saved.
He nodded and handed the second half of the branch clue note he had written in advance to Wei Linda.
"You guys arrange your own time and don't delay the ceremony. If nothing unexpected happens, the ceremony should be scheduled for tomorrow night." Xu Zhiyan said lightly.
Wei Linda nodded and shared the branch line with Ge Lun.
[Side Quest: The Miserable Being Cultivated]
[Note: When some townspeople discovered that they could get more money by sending blind children to school, they took the initiative to blind their adopted children. The children who lost their sight were left alone and had a hard time surviving in the cracks.]
[Task Tips: Find them and let them go. ]
[Progress: 0%]
[Quest Reward: Eyes of True Vision]
After confirming that the branch line was complete, Wei Linda and Ge Lun nodded slightly to Xu Zhiyan and left the cafeteria without stopping.
The transaction is completed.
Just half an hour later, the principal came to the cafeteria with his guards and "invited" Xu Zhiyan to his office.
Because I was under surveillance before, I was afraid that doing too much would arouse suspicion.
Now that the school doctor is dead, Xu Zhiyan no longer has any scruples and almost completely ignores the principal.
He found a comfortable position and sat on the soft sofa in the office, his whole body almost sinking into the cushion as if he had no bones.
The principal's forehead was covered in cold sweat, perhaps from excitement or shock.
But seeing the appearance of the students in front of him, he still put on a stern face and lectured: "Why don't you look like a student at all? Hurry and sit down!"
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhiyan didn't even look at him. Instead, he picked at his fingers and replied calmly, "Mr. Principal, I seem to have seen some scenes again, and this time you are in them."
This time, the principal didn't dare to say anything more and asked cautiously: "What did you see?"
"The picture flashed too fast. I was just listening to you talking and didn't look closely." Xu Zhiyan spread his hands, looking innocent.
The principal was so angry that he fell backwards, but he didn't dare to say anything.
He hesitated for a moment, then spoke carefully: "The school doctor is dead. Do you really have the ability to see the future?"
"I know someone who also has the ability to see the future, but he is missing now. He had a pair of golden eyes. I wonder if you, Principal, know him." Xu Zhiyan answered the question irrelevantly and brought up the matter of Bai Jin.
As expected, the principal was silent for a few seconds after listening to this and no longer questioned Xu Zhiyan's ability.
He now conceded that the student in front of him must have some connection with the 'Eye of the Future'.
Thinking of the ceremony that had not been held for ten years, the principal spoke again: "You have great abilities, and I hope you are willing to share your abilities for the benefit of everyone and all mankind."
"If this ability is buried, it will be a loss to the whole world!"
As he spoke, his hands trembled slightly and he gripped the armrest of the chair tightly. His old face glowed red and he seemed to be enjoying his wonderful future life.
"So I thought, why don't we hold a gathering? The teacher will help you invite celebrities from all walks of life. They all need your help. You just need to answer their questions well..."
The principal used a coaxing tone to downplay the past ten years' deeds and instead gave himself a shell of being great and glorious.
The comments were filled with indignation and everyone was very angry.
[Wow! How shameless! ]
[I am so angry that I am laughing. What a piece of junk this is]
[Xiao Baiwan! Quick! Use the bang bang attack! Punch this idiot twice! ]
[No, two punches is too cheap for this idiot. ]
[I'll do it! Little Millionaire! Go! Use trickery to attack! Trick this stupid principal out of his pants! ]
[I am dying of laughter, aren’t you afraid of being punched by the anonymous guy? ]
[Hahahahaha, I was angry at first, but I laughed out loud after reading the comments]
Inside the office, the air was condensed.
Xu Zhiyan stroked his chin and waited for the principal to say the rest, while the principal waited for the student in front of him to respond.
"What are your intentions?"
"Is that all?"
The two couldn't hold back and spoke at the same time.
"...Hmm? What else do you need?" The principal looked confused.
He felt that he had made it very clear, so why did the students in front of him not react at all?
Xu Zhiyan frowned, and his expression gradually changed from confusion to horror.
"Is this all the empty talk you want to say?"
"You didn't mention the profits, nor did you discuss the profit sharing with me. You want me to generate electricity for love and show you the future? Why do you think there is such a good thing in the world?"
He scratched his hair, very puzzled: "You have to feed a donkey with grass, right?"
"...Ah?" The principal was a little confused. He had never thought of sharing the profits with the students in front of him.
Students are just tools, how can we share their money?
But who would have thought that Xu Zhiyan would spread his hands, as if he had lost all his fighting spirit, and said with a sigh: "Kill me, I won't do a business that loses money. If you don't pay me, I won't say a word."
The principal then realized that the student in front of him was not as easy to control as the previous Eye of the Future as rumored.
He took a deep breath and decided to calm the student down first.
"You can get as much money as you want, but you have to wait until the assembly is over, and the school doesn't have much money..."
"Does the school have any strange writings or weird things? If not, give me the school's title deed." Xu Zhiyan began to think whether he could get some more benefits from the principal.
"House deed? No way. How can I give it to you?" The principal shook his head frantically.
"Then give me something else, real money will do." Xu Zhiyan accepted all offers.
The principal was stuck for a moment: "Ah this..."
As the conversation progressed, more and more sweat appeared on the principal's forehead.
He didn't understand what was wrong with the student in front of him and why he easily took out a box of jewelry that he had received as bribes from him.
When he came out of the office, the principal felt like his feet were floating.
Xu Zhiyan was holding a box of jewelry of quite good quality, and he shouted to the principal with a smile: "Tomorrow night at eight o'clock! Please hurry those rich people, we won't wait after that time!"
Although I didn't get any props, I did get some money. When the time comes, I can find a safe house and sneak into the real world.
Not a loss, much better than exchanging points for money!
"I know, I know..."
The principal turned and left.
There is still a day and a half until the ritual gathering begins.
As a high-risk person, Xu Zhiyan was protected tightly. Even Jin Sheng was not allowed to get close to him before the ceremony was over.
Surrounded by guards, Xu Zhiyan did not hide in the room like before, or stay at a fixed point in the cafeteria.
In the following time, apart from eating and sleeping, he just walked around the new blind school.
The guards didn't understand what was going on, but the players all saw the game panel light up next to him.
[Additional Task: Find a Safe House]
[Progress: 60%]
[Additional Task: Find a Safe House]
[Progress: 82%]
…
[Progress: 94%]
As a rule, the closer you are to the safe house, the higher your progress.
Bai Jin said that he appeared here because his main body was nearby, which meant that the safe house was not too far from here.
Just before the ceremony began, Xu Zhiyan finally figured out the specific address of the safe house.
If he guessed correctly, Bai Jin was also nearby.
Finally, the time came to the second night.
The entire new school for the blind is no longer as deserted as before. The old elevator keeps creaking, and wave after wave of wealthy and famous people are rushing here.
The entire hall was transformed into a new auditorium that can accommodate thousands of people.
A mixture of various high-end perfumes filled the air, and an almost suffocating sense of decadence lingered.
Xu Zhiyan deliberately wore a black robe, looking quite mysterious.
He was very satisfied with his appearance. He combed his hair into a flashy 3:7 split, used the principal's gel, and even asked the principal to hold up a mirror for him to look at himself.
The principal standing by could only move the mirror obediently, not daring to speak, but with resentment in his eyes.
The students before him are the foundation of his rise!
This time he is in a hurry. He will deal with this ignorant guy properly when he has time later!
But despite what he was thinking, the principal still had a smile on his face and urged, "It's almost half past eight. Let's go to the venue. Everyone must be waiting anxiously."
"walk."
Xu Zhiyan confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his appearance and smiled with satisfaction.
He walked in front, and the principal followed behind. People who didn't know would probably think that he was the initiator of the incident...
In the auditorium, the wealthy people were looking forward to it.
It was not until a young man with a delicate face brought the principal to the podium that the conversation in the audience gradually stopped.
However, there were also a few older wealthy people who had attended the ceremony ten years ago and always felt that something was wrong.
But the principal said that this opportunity is hard to come by, and if you don’t come this time, you don’t know when you will encounter it next time. The rich people had no choice, and almost everyone came, and some were even carried in with medical equipment inserted all over their bodies.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the podium.
Xu Zhiyan stood there and did not say anything pretentious like the principal. Instead, he asked directly, "Can everyone tell me what kind of future you want to see?"
One question livened up the awkward atmosphere.
Everyone below began to talk impatiently about the future they wanted.
"I want to know the future trend of G shares."
"Who was the person who assassinated me last time?"
"Why isn't my dad dead yet?"
"Who is my uncle's illegitimate son? If I kill him, the money will be mine."
Questions were thrown out one after another. The principal wanted to stop it and called the guards to record it.
Xu Zhiyan waved his hand, telling the principal not to meddle in other people’s business.
He didn't turn up the microphone loudspeaker until the last person had finished saying what he wanted to know.
"Okay friends, I know your wishes! But I can only see your future, I can't fulfill your wishes."
Some of the questions sounded ridiculous to him.
These wealthy people haven't participated in the event for ten years. Are they stupid? Are they using it as a wishing bottle?
Xu Zhiyan's lips curled up into a gentle smile. Everyone who was about to say something just now stopped talking and instead looked at him expectantly.
"I have foreseen your future!"
These people are blind and have persecuted so many people for their own selfish interests. The ones who are really blind are not the students of the blind school, but the greedy devils in front of them, and their accomplices who satisfy the devils for petty profits.
"So, I sent the future here."
After saying this, he slowly untied his black robe, revealing the scene inside.
Circles of bombs were tied around his waist.
Item T/N/T-BUG is the most powerful bomb currently available in the game store.
He spent money to exchange a prop clue from Yao Xianxian.
Looking at the commotion in the audience and the guards who were about to pounce on him, Xu Zhiyan chuckled, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
“This is what you earned through hard work!”
"No need to thank me!"
As long as these rich people still exist, it will be useless no matter how many times the blind schools are demolished. Even if the rich people die, their descendants will continue to come. The only way is to eliminate these sources of evil at once.
As the last word fell, a huge explosion occurred, and the flames instantly engulfed all the people in the venue, without even a wailing sound.
And in the center of the burning flame.
The young man, who was dressed in formal attire to attend this feast of death, stood there straight.
The bones in his right hand were glowing with a faint white light, as if something was happening.
