Chapter 024: Eating Watermelons in the Archives of Lies (13)

It was the first time for pilot Song Xiaoyan to see such a prop being created, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

The others were not surprised. Many players who died first in difficult dungeons would condense their resentment into items and leave them behind.

However, there are not many props that use specific parts of the body.

The famous star Fang Yiran knew that this kind of item, because it was tainted with resentment, would backfire on the player when used.

Therefore, even if they know that the first-dying player will drop items, most players will not deliberately harm others in order to obtain the items.

Except for the pervert like Lao Cheng, everyone else has been emaciated by the backlash and still doesn't know how to stop.

So Fang Yiran took several steps back the moment he saw the prop appear and said, "Who wants this prop? I don't want it."

Qin Zhengyi also took a step back with her childhood friend: "The tongue turned into a prop, it's disgusting just thinking about it, we don't want it either."

Guild President Jiang Minxu stepped forward and picked up the props. "If we don't take them, maybe Lao Cheng will get them later. So I'll take them. This evil Yin Guanglai can finally be of some use."

Liu Tang was still feeling a little scared as he walked towards the dormitory building.

He issued this mandatory task as a last resort.

In the past, when Liu Tang was an NPC in "Wanjing Garden", he didn't know that he had this authority, let alone this awareness.

But after unlocking the boss, he began to understand that NPCs can issue some harmless and reasonable small tasks to players without affecting their ability to pass the dungeon.

For example, this lunch break task is very consistent with the plot logic of the archives intern.

Moreover, there was an even more justifiable reason behind the young man issuing this task, which was "to ensure that as many players as possible successfully cleared the dungeon."

Although it is not clearly written in the dungeon rules, after Liu Tang became the Boss, he could clearly feel that the dungeon creator did not want as many players as possible to be eliminated.

For example, allowing players to watch live broadcasts is obviously opening a big backdoor for players.

No matter what is behind this "18th level of hell" or what its purpose is, it must be that it hopes that players can live longer and complete more copies.

Lao Cheng has obviously completed his personal minimum task. If he continues to do tasks endlessly, he will squeeze the living space of other players.

Liu Tang realized this problem in time and issued a task to prevent him from malicious competition. In fact, this was also with the potential support of the copy maker and the boss. Otherwise, he would not have been able to issue such a mandatory task that was obviously beneficial to other players so easily.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly and there was no danger.

Lao Cheng walked behind Liu Tang, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

At this moment, he was very clear that although this NPC seemed neutral, it was actually clearly biased towards those little bastards.

He didn't want to waste time arguing with this NPC, but he was so angry that he started to criticize him: "NPC, you are so unfair. Won't the system judge you as negligent?"

Liu Tang turned to look at Lao Cheng and said with a distressed look, "It's possible. Oh, there's nothing I can do. I'm just too kind-hearted. Seeing you in danger, I couldn't help but want to help you."

Lao Cheng was so angry that he laughed. This NPC was obviously helping those little bastards, but he turned the tables on them. He was even more shameless than himself.

Seeing the man's disbelief, Liu Tang said, "Your evil value is almost approaching 10,000. You should also have noticed that 10,000 points is a qualitative change in the 'Eighteen Layers of Hell', right?"

Lao Cheng, who was originally rushing to get going, slowed down his pace and looked at Liu Tang with a frown.

He had a rough idea of what "evil value" was when he eavesdropped on the conversation of these little bastards. Although he didn't completely believe it, he was still a little afraid of it.

When the other party mentioned it again at this moment, I couldn't help but feel a sense of panic as if I was about to be sentenced to death.

Liu Tang continued walking forward while introducing the dormitory building they passed by to the man.

He stared at the evil value above Lao Cheng's head, flipped through the most recent ones, and read them out one by one: "You intentionally guided Yin Guanglai to return the fragments to answer the questions incorrectly, and framed Fang Yiran to answer the questions for you. All of these have further increased your evil value. Now you are only one step away from 10,000 points.

"I stopped you from returning the fragments just in time to stop you from maliciously squeezing other players' living space and causing your evil value to increase again..."

Before Liu Tang could finish explaining, Lao Cheng received a notice of elimination from Yin Guanglai.

Thinking that he could get more points if a player was eliminated, Lao Cheng's mouth curled up unconsciously.

I don't know if this fat dead pig has been transformed into a prop. But even if there is a prop, it probably won't be my turn to pick it up.

However, the thin man quickly noticed a hint of gloating on the NPC's face. "Oh, the evil value has passed the 10,000 mark. It turns out I can't help this piece of trash who's only interested in harming others for his own benefit."

The corners of Lao Cheng's upturned mouth drooped.

He grabbed Liu Tang's arm and asked fiercely, "What will happen after 10,000 points?"

Liu Tang moved his fingers and the other person's hand was easily pried open.

This made Lao Cheng feel fear towards this NPC.

He realized how powerful the other party was.

If the other party wants to kill you, maybe they only need to move a finger.

Liu Tang turned and continued forward, his back to Lao Cheng. He said, "I'm not entirely sure what will happen. I only know that from this moment on, you're already in 'Unending Hell.'"

Lao Cheng's face, which originally looked lifeless due to his sunken cheeks, now seemed to have lost the last bit of life.

After going through several copies, he gradually understood that the names of the hells to which these copies belonged were mostly related to the rules of the copies themselves.

For example, the "Tongue-Pulling Hell" is related to "spreading rumors, lies, and pulling out the tongue."

So what is "Avici Hell" like?

During his lifetime, he had also heard the legend of "Avici Hell", which roughly means endless torture in hell.

So what kind of situation will he face?

Lao Cheng stopped talking and followed Liu Tang towards the sports field with a heavy heart.

In the live broadcast room, players were skeptical about Liu Tang's statement:

"Why does this NPC keep coming up with new words? This time it's 'Infernal Hell' again."

"You're not explaining it clearly, and you're just playing tricks. I guess you're just trying to scare people."

"He is determined to carry out his 'heart-breaking' act to the end."

"Look at Lao Cheng, he looks like he's been frightened out of his wits."

"Seeing this liar Lao Cheng get scared makes me happy!"

In the archives, everyone also heard the situation on Liu Tang's side through the "sound wall". Although they didn't know what the "Avici Hell" was like, as long as this person was unlucky, everyone felt more or less happy.

Several people have spread all the fragments they have on hand on the ground.

Excluding the fragments that are clearly known to be true, the other fragments are neatly arranged in a matrix.

Jiang Minxu said, "In order to save time, I will now recount what happened from my own perspective. I will ensure it is as honest and objective as possible."

He looked at Fang Yiran beside him and said, "If you have any information that I missed, you can add it."

Fang Yiran nodded seriously.

While Liu Tang was half-heartedly introducing the sports field to Lao Cheng, he was excitedly listening to the voice coming from the other side of the sound wall.

【Hahahaha, eat melon, eat melon, earn points, earn points! 】

Jiang Minxu and the "Snow Elf" met through Fang Yiran.

He and Fang Yiran are teammates and often play together.

Fang Yiran and "Snow Elf" are members of the same club and they have a good relationship.

After the "Snow Elf" came to watch Fang Yiran play basketball, he became familiar with Jiang Minxu.

As they got along, Jiang Minxu gradually fell in love with the "Snow Elf".

He guessed that the other party might also have a good impression of him.

Jiang Minxu was ready to confess to the other party, but at this time he received the confession from "Matryoshka".

He and the "nesting dolls" are just ordinary classmates.

I know more about this girl from her good friend Fang Yiran’s description.

Because the girl is also a good friend of Fang Yiran’s sister.

Jiang Minxu could vaguely feel that Fang Yiran liked "Matryoshka", and he already had someone in his heart, so he naturally and decisively rejected "Matryoshka's" confession.

But not long after, posts appeared online saying that Jiang Minxu was a scumbag, who got someone pregnant and cheated on "Snow Elf".

Jiang Minxu responded promptly and positively, but for things like this, clarifying is often many times more difficult than spreading rumors.

Rumors are still rampant.

His relationship with the "Snow Elf" became somewhat awkward because of this incident, but at the same time, because they had to work together to investigate the matter, their connection became closer.

This made him hate the rumormonger who posted the message, but also made him feel a little happy because he could meet more girls.

He was a computer major and used some of the knowledge he had learned in and out of class to quickly find out the IP address of the person who posted the message. He discovered that it was the school's electronic reading room. He also checked the video footage of the reading room being used at that time, and checked one by one, and finally locked down the "Matryoshka" who was present at the time.

However, just before he took the "Snow Elf" to confront the "Matryoshka", the anonymous pregnant girl in the previous post was suddenly exposed on the campus network. It turned out that she was the "Matryoshka".

This also led to the situation getting out of control during the confrontation in the cafeteria.

The news that "Matryoshka" posted a message herself to expose the scumbag and the mistress also spread like wildfire.

This should have been beneficial to "Matryoshka", but because of Fang Yiran's behavior of protecting "Matryoshka" in the cafeteria, many rumors about him and "Matryoshka" became more and more exaggerated, and there were even rumors that "Matryoshka" slept with Fang Yiran and wanted to cheat on Jiang Minxu.

This kind of reversed "story" is the most attractive and quickly aroused widespread discussion.

The reputation of "Matryoshka" plummeted, and she went from being a victim at the beginning to an unruly and self-inflicted evil woman.

She seemed unable to accept this result and threatened Jiang Minxu with death to explain herself, but was rejected by Jiang Minxu.

What Jiang Minxu didn't expect was that the "Matryoshka" actually chose to commit suicide.

Fang Yiran always believed that Jiang Minxu had let down the object of her unrequited love. Although her actions made the situation of "Matryoshka" worse, the grudge between the two had already been created.

Fang Yiran was then sent abroad by her family and had no contact with Jiang Minxu anymore.

After listening to Jiang Minxu's story, Fang Yiran angrily grabbed Jiang Minxu by the collar and said, "You mean, from the beginning to the end, you were never with 'Matryoshka'?"

In order to protect the privacy of the deceased girls, they chose to call them by the code names in the copy.

Jiang Minxu slowly pried the other person's hands apart, looked directly into his eyes, and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I can tell you clearly that I have never been with her, and the child in her belly is definitely not mine."

Fang Yiran took two steps back, feeling somewhat exhausted, and said absentmindedly, "So she was pregnant with my child. We could have had a child..."

Song Xiaoyan looked at her former idol in such a distraught state that her filter was completely shattered.

Qin Zhengyi's filter for President Jiang gradually improved.

But she always felt that this narrative was too favorable to Chairman Jiang, so she did not dare to believe it easily.

So, I tried to be as objective as possible and confirmed with Jiang Minxu, "So we can now confirm that the saying in 'Matryoshka' that 'children have sailed through thousands of sails' is a lie."

Jiang Minxu nodded.

Qin Zhengyi picked up the fragments of the "Matryoshka" on the ground, handed it to President Jiang, and said, "Since you are sure of it, you can return it."

Once it was confirmed to be a lie, Qin Zhengyi had no choice but to admit that all her trust in "Matryoshka" had completely collapsed, and that President Jiang was indeed innocent.

Jiang Minxu took the fragment, paused, and said solemnly, "I haven't finished yet. What I just described is only the version I knew at the beginning."

[Wow, is there a twist?!]

Mo Qianhe heard Liu Tang's voice from a thousand meters away and couldn't help but smile.

Fang Yiran looked at Jiang Minxu and asked uncertainly, "What do you mean? Is there something else going on?"

Jiang Minxu nodded. "You left quickly, so you don't know what happened next. After 'Matryoshka' died, 'Snow Elf' and I were called to the police station to cooperate with the investigation. Because we both spoke to her on the phone before she died."

Jiang Minxu truthfully told the police the whole story and explained to them that this matter had nothing to do with the "Snow Elf" and that the other party had not even been to the teaching building.

The police officer looked at him sympathetically and said, "How is it not related to her? When Miss Matryoshka jumped from the building, Snow Elf was there. The surveillance camera in the hallway of the teaching building captured her going up to the rooftop during that time."

Jiang Minxu, who was still inexperienced at the time, felt that his worldview had been overturned.
