Chapter 168 Mizuki Private High School (Forty)

[Congratulations, you have been chosen as the host. Please work hard to play your role! ]

Nan Huan had to admit that she did hear a hint of anticipation in the mechanical sound of the system.

What's more, this is not good news for her, but as it happens, good things don't work out, and bad things do.

The remaining players also understood what Nan Huan and Twelve said belatedly.

At this moment, the possibility of this situation and the precautions to be taken if it happens are being discussed in a low voice.

Only Bei Xi noticed Nan Huan's absent-mindedness. She frowned unconsciously and signaled Nan Huan with her eyes.

Nan Huan was about to speak, but the system added another sentence reluctantly.

[Hint: Please be careful of all those who covet the power of the flag. ]

Um?

This tip is interesting.

The situation of the battle between the two sides has been clearly stated in the mission description just now. The power that covets the flag is just old classmates. Why does the system have to go to such trouble now?

But now is not the time to think about these things. Nan Huan scratched his temples a little embarrassedly and coughed lightly. "Well...50% possibility. We have anticipated the worst case scenario."

Nan Huan felt like a sinner at this moment, disrupting everyone's conversation and arrangements.

She pointed her finger at her head. "The system prompts me that I am the unlucky one who was chosen."

Twelve felt that this was a bit exaggerated, but there were two culprits who caused a certain incident. The identity of this host gave the president a much better situation than the eldest lady.

Although we still don’t know what the president’s personal skills are, the few Hulls who appeared before all looked exactly like the president and had strong abilities. Moreover, the president had the ability to protect himself.

Twelve didn't quite understand the eldest lady's personal skills, but whether based on feeling or experience, he had to admit that the eldest lady's self-perception was still very correct.

"It's okay, it won't affect anything."

Bei Xi was the first to speak. In fact, she didn't even pause. Apart from being worried about Nan Huan's safety, this news was not a big deal to her. "Besides, this situation is much better than if we found out that the host's identity fell to another player."

Otherwise, how could he be the president?

The players from Guild Two, who were originally a little stunned, immediately reacted after hearing Bei Xi's words.

It is much better to have the initiative in your own hands than in other people's hands.

"That's true, Miss. Don't worry. We will definitely protect you."

Twelve also felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, and thought that Nan Huan was worried, so he quickly patted his chest and made assurances, and moved closer to the other person.

"Yeah, the facts have already become like this. We have to think about the division of labor after we enter the woods."

President Barbie also expressed her opinion. After all, they have all seen a lot of things, so this is nothing. "I think the fact that the young lady was chosen as the host should be kept secret for as long as possible from all players except us. We should not reveal it actively, nor show any abnormality."

"President Yi, because of the relationship with the young lady..." President Barbie seemed a little embarrassed when she said this. She paused for a moment before continuing, "The two of them have a special relationship. We can try to keep it close. On the one hand, President Yi is very powerful and will not expose the young lady to danger. On the other hand, it will not arouse suspicion from other players."

"As for the rest of us, in addition to putting on a show and trying to find out the host's identity from time to time, we also have to try our best to put the blame on Morpheus and his gang, so that the assassins, although not on the same side as us, at least won't stand against us so quickly."

President Barbie is worthy of being the second-ranked president. She is used to assigning tasks. As soon as she confirmed the news about the host, she already had corresponding countermeasures in her mind and spoke in an imperative tone.

Until he realized something was wrong and found that Uriel was using the opponent's mechanical arm to pull himself.

She stopped unhappily and signaled the other person with her eyes to speak quickly if she had something to say.

As a result, Nan Huan saw their interaction and chuckled, "I have no objection, this is a good arrangement. President Barbie is indeed very logical. She came up with such a good idea in just a short while."

"I have no objection either."

Bei Xi followed closely and expressed her own opinion. However, she was still a little upset about Nan Huan praising others in front of her, so she reached out and gently touched Nan Huan's brow, "You will listen to my instructions later and are not allowed to act on your own."

He lowered his voice on purpose to ensure that only two people could hear him.

Nan Huan grabbed her fingers and smiled ingratiatingly. He made no sound but expressed his opinion with his lips.

President Barbie finally reacted. She didn't expect that the eldest lady and the president would cooperate so well, nor did she expect that the eldest lady would praise her.

Although she wasn't stupid enough to respond to the compliment and attract the attention of the president, she still had some interest in this young lady who attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared in the game.

But it was only because she really wanted to know what kind of magic the other party had that allowed her to get three pieces of the faith totem fragments. It had nothing to do with other feelings.

"President Barbie, I understand that when two people quarrel, the other party wins," Twelve saw that they seemed to be going off topic and asked hurriedly, "But why do we put the blame on Morpheus instead of the assassins?"

Twelve found that in his team, except for himself, the remaining three people all had calm expressions, as if they understood the trick, but he felt out of place.

Fortunately, after she asked, the remaining two players in Guild Two, except Uriel, also began to agree, "Yes, President, we don't understand either."

The four people from the second guild who came this time, including President Barbie, all have beautiful looks. Especially when their guild recruits players, it seems that they also prefer this kind of big round eyes and very cute looks.

So the four of them all look cute. I don’t know if it’s because of their looks or if their personalities also have a part to do with it, but when they speak, they use interjections, which makes them sound like they’re acting coquettish.

The voice was soft and very cute, and not only Twelve, but even Nan Huan was attracted to its attention.

She put her round eyes in front of President Barbie, like a wronged puppy, with her long eyelashes fluttering like a character in an anime.

It was not until Bei Xi blocked Nan Huan's sight unhappily that she coughed awkwardly, realizing that her inquiring gaze was impolite. Then, as if to cover up, she spoke before President Barbie.

"Because Morpheus is closely related to the previous incident in the game hall, the Assassin's Guild President is a smart man and has already put a question mark on him. The host will not take the initiative to reveal this information, so the first person to be suspected is naturally Morpheus, who may have some kind of relationship with the system."

"But we can't be too suspicious, otherwise Morpheus will find out that we are using her as a scapegoat, so we have to punish both sides, since both sides are suspicious."

Nanhuan's choice of words was very interesting, and the remaining people who listened to it all started to laugh.

"Miss, then we can't stay by your side forever. We need to actively look for clues and ask for news from old classmates to see who the host is among them?"

Twelve laughed enough before asking about his mission.

"Eight people, mainly divided into two teams. The first team will focus on exploring the host in the old classmates' team. It will be led by President Barbie, Twelve and Six Gods. You will follow President Barbie to explore the periphery."

After everyone looked serious, Bei Xi told them the distribution plan that he had already considered.

"One more person, and we'll make it four. The remaining two will be on a team with me and the young lady. Our main task is to protect the host's safety and spread false information. Apart from me, the remaining two people don't need to get too close to each other to avoid arousing suspicion."

The two presidents, each leading a team, carefully balanced the needs of both parties as well as their personal psychology.

These seemingly short sentences actually contain a lot of information.

They were originally a cooperative team, and although no one would betray the team, if they were simply divided into Guild One and Guild Two, because of the eldest lady, the players of Guild One would definitely have to stay behind, and it was inevitable that the players of Guild Two would be dissatisfied.

Liushen's skills are very useful for gathering information and judging what the enemy says, so the president sent her to the team going out.

Also, because we need to take the players' psychology into consideration, the two people who have the best coordination are most suitable to act together.

The first guild leader only assigned his own people and gave the choice back to the players of the second guild.

President Barbie immediately understood what the president meant.

"Uriel, you come with me, Moka-moe, Professor, the two of you follow the president and the eldest lady."

"OK."

Like Twelve and Six Gods, the three players from Guild Two also had no objection to their guild leader’s allocation.

After the general direction was decided, they discussed the details.

[Everyone, the joint exam will officially begin in thirty seconds. Please enter the exam area as soon as possible.]

[If you have not entered the examination room after the countdown ends, you will be deemed to have given up the exam and will be disqualified from the exam. ]

【30, 29, 28...】

The broadcasting voice then sounded, finally urging the candidates who were eagerly waiting outside the gymnasium.

Everyone stopped discussing in groups of two or three, put away their facial expressions, and tried to act normal so that others would not notice anything wrong. They also looked at others, trying to find out the host who just knew his identity.

Compared to those trembling players, Nanhuan behaved very normally.

The area of ​​the primeval forest is larger than expected. Although the system does not clearly state the consequences of leaving the examination room without permission during the examination, judging from the restricted examination room prompted by the system, within three hours, if you leave the forest, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, you will be disqualified immediately.

In fact, the system does leave a way out for ordinary players. Although they will lose credits after being disqualified, at least they can save their lives.

Nan Huan thought so, so he was particularly careful when entering the primeval forest to make sure there were no barriers or restrictions in this place.

There were tall trees everywhere. After walking a few steps, the blue sky was completely blocked by the dense branches, and the light suddenly dimmed.

Fortunately, the entrances for old students and freshmen are different, so there is no situation where the players are ambushed or attacked as soon as they come in.

However, a team consisting of only players is not as harmonious as it seems.

Everyone formed a mighty team and rushed forward silently. No one took the initiative to speak, but the close proximity between the groups of three or two revealed the mentality of each player.

The further you go inside, the wetter it gets and the taller the bushes become.

Although the air is countless times fresher than that on campus, and there are many plants in the primeval forest here that are rarely seen in real life, if we ignore the fact that they are here to take the exam, it actually seems more like they are here for fun.

However, most of the players were still walking absent-mindedly, and some even hid in the team silently, observing the actions of others, trying to find other people's loopholes from some clues and expose the identity of the other party's host.

On the contrary, Nan Huan, the real host, seemed quite happy to watch.

She is in poor health, and although she has no financial pressure, she cannot go anywhere at any time, so she is very happy to see this magnified primeval forest.

I was originally very interested in pulling up the unknown plants, wanting to get a clearer look at them.

As a result, after she accidentally slipped three times and almost got her hand scratched by the bushes twice, Bei Xi couldn't bear it anymore, so he took out the familiar blanket, wrapped her up and held her horizontally.

Although there was no movement in all this, and even Nanhuan's protest was swallowed up by Beixi's eyes, it still attracted the attention of many players.

After all, whether they were ordinary players, assassins, or Morpheus's men, their eyes were unconsciously focused on the eldest lady.

On the one hand, in this task, the system has made it clear that the host can be killed, but if it is unclear who the host is, it is very likely that someone might be killed by mistake.

This means that in this mission, you can kill each other.

In addition to the host in this mission, I believe that the first target of all players will be the eldest lady who already possesses three pieces of faith totem fragments.

However, due to the presence of the president, everyone could only use their eyes to capture their prey and did not dare to act rashly.

"We are already approaching the camp of our old classmates. Can we discuss our ideas for this mission and make a plan?"

Finally, after walking for about ten minutes, someone couldn't help but speak out.

What surprised Nan Huan was that it was not Morpheus who stepped forward this time, but the assassin. He jumped up and stood on a higher place, looking at the remaining people. After saying half a word, he deliberately paused, raised his lips, and looked around at everyone.

"Or how about we start with the identity of the host. If anyone is chosen, why not step forward now and make a gentleman's agreement?"

His words were very frivolous and not convincing at all.

Of course no one would speak at this time, but his words were like a spark hitting a haystack, but perhaps this was exactly the assassin's purpose, he wanted to use this situation to see something clearly.

But everyone started whispering, discussing the Assassin's Guild Leader's behavior and whether it was possible that he was the host.

The other party might have specifically found a suitable place to start the conversation. Except for the relatively high position where he was standing, the rest of the players were standing in a relatively flat place.

The current situation doesn't look like it will be resolved anytime soon.

Bei Xi had already found a suitable spot under a relatively tall tree. He sat over there holding Nan Huan in his arms, waiting to see what kind of medicine was in the assassin's throat.

The other members of Guild One and Guild Two, as per the previous plan, did not gather around the two men, but were now in the crowd, looking at the people around them, including the assassin above, and Morpheus beside them.

This action did not escape the attention of the two. Although the assassin and Morpheus could not see it on the surface, they were both very confused in their hearts.

Judging from this performance, the flag does not seem to be on Nan Huan. The players from Guild One and Guild Two are also looking for the whereabouts of the host at this moment.

Apart from the fact that the president was still flirting with the eldest lady as usual, there was no other discovery.

While the two were puzzled, they both unconsciously looked at each other.

There seemed to be a sound of eye contact in the air. Both the assassin and Morpheus showed disdain for each other's behavior, but at the same time they both felt that the other might have some conspiracy brewing.

"President Assassin, is this considered a preemptive strike?" After a moment, Morpheus spoke. She was already confused and dissatisfied with the Assassin for speaking first.

After all, before, the other party had been sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between the two tigers, trying not to offend either side. Many times, it was I who asked for the other party's opinion first, and he only reluctantly came out and said some nice words.

But today, without any warning, he suddenly jumped out to act like the boss, and it was hard not to attract attention.

"Could it be that this host is among your people, and you are the first to question us in order to clear your own people?"

Anyway, under the premise of everyone's internal conclusion, it is impossible for everyone to unite and cause trouble for those old classmates. "Also, this host is already a clear target, but you are asking everyone not to have any pressure at this time. What is your intention? Everyone can see it."

In fact, Morpheus really wronged the assassin this time. After all, the assassin just wanted to take the opportunity of speaking to observe other people's reactions. He was caught off guard and made many mistakes. But in the current situation, it was impossible for him to explain.

He had no choice but to engage in verbal battle with Morpheus, "Whether he is the target or not is another matter. After all, the host can choose to give up this identity and his life will not be in danger. Our real enemy is our old classmates who have already started calculating how to kill us and get the points. Are we sure we still want to waste time like this?"

Neither of them was willing to give in, and different voices were heard in the crowd. Some agreed with Morpheus and began to doubt the Assassin's President, while others believed that the Assassin was right and now was not the time for infighting.

Nan Huan was looking at the beautiful scenery around him out of boredom, and at the same time listening to the quarrel between the two ears.

But suddenly, she seemed to sense something and her eyes fixed in a certain direction.
