Chapter 224 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou pretended not to have noticed anything, walked to his office door at the same speed as before, took out his key and opened the door. The inside was still the same as when he left, unchanged.
However… his intuition was definitely correct. Not in the office? Then he must be in the hallway outside? Or perhaps in the dean's office?
As the vice dean, he was naturally allowed to enter the dean's office, but he didn't go directly there. Instead, he went to his own office, picked up a document, and headed towards the dean's office.
Along the way, the hem of his white coat would often accidentally touch some items placed in the corridor, such as potted plants.
However, he didn't find anything when he got to the dean's office, so he figured it wasn't a problem with those things. He decided to open the door, and to his surprise, it opened very easily.
Great, the person must be inside!
The dean's office wasn't like that; it was locked, just like his own office. He had deliberately not brought the dean's office key with him.
If the door hadn't been opened, he could have gone back to his office to rest and wouldn't have had to come back. If it had been opened, then there was no need for him to go back.
He carefully tossed the documents to the ground, then took out his scalpel, slowly pushed open the door with his shoulder, and gradually he could see the situation inside.
The dean's office looked a bit messy, and the window was open, letting the wind howl in. It seemed that the people who were inside had already escaped through the window.
Just kidding, this isn't the first floor. These players... well, players can use items, but all I have are these two scalpels...
Wait, that doesn't make sense either.
The system only said that he couldn't use any items, but it didn't say that he couldn't use his own talent, so his talent can still be used?
"System, can I use my talent?"
System prompt: Yes.
Since you only have one talent, use it however you like.
Lin Leyou's lips curled into a smile. Since it can be used, that's good.
He tidied up the mess in the dean's office, arranged everything neatly, and then went over to close the window without saying a word.
While cleaning the office, he also checked every corner of the room and confirmed that no one was hiding there before he was about to leave. However, as he was leaving, he suddenly heard a noise behind him.
It's so faint, you can barely hear it unless you listen very carefully, it's just a pity...
Lin Leyou is the only person on this floor now. The whole floor is very quiet. You can hear a pin drop clearly.
So Lin Leyou did indeed hear that strange sound coming from behind him, like the sound of clothes rubbing together. It was very faint, but it was definitely there.
"That's strange..." Lin Leyou murmured, "Where did that sound come from?"
He turned around and went back inside, looking around, but no matter what he did, he couldn't figure it out.
There must be players here!
However, he had no idea what tools the other party used to hide them, where they were hidden, or how they hid them.
Sure enough, over time, many players will acquire all sorts of strange and unusual items, such as the items we have now.
Just then, he noticed a message from Xue Rui on his phone, which had just been sent.
But he can't take out his phone now. Nobody knows if the players hiding here can see his phone screen, and if they can...
Lin Leyou's search this time was much more thorough than before; he touched almost everything in the entire office, but still found nothing.
If that's the case, then he...
Lin Leyou, "Phew...was it just my imagination?"
He walked out while talking, and after he went out, he casually closed the door without locking it, just like when he came in.
Lin Leyou smiled outside the door, his footsteps fading into the distance. He walked to his office door in the distance, opened it, and then…
At this moment, in the dean's office.
A man and a woman appeared out of nowhere in the office.
The woman gasped for breath, "Thanks to your props, otherwise we would have been doomed!"
The man took a few breaths and said, "Let's go, let's go. It seems we won't find anything useful in the dean's office. We should have gone to the vice dean's office!"
The woman asked curiously, "Why go to the vice president's office? Isn't the president the highest authority?"
The man sighed, "Generally speaking, the dean is in charge of overall planning from behind the scenes, and the dirty and hard work is left to his subordinates. This vice dean must be the one with the most evidence of crimes."
"After all, isn't that how many organizations do things? Once something goes wrong, they push all the responsibility onto another person and get away scot-free."
"This hospital director must be the same kind of person. He is clearly the mastermind behind everything, but he doesn't get involved in anything. He leaves everything to other people in the hospital. This vice director seems to have a high position and great power, but in reality, he is just a scapegoat."
The woman then suddenly realized, "So, to find evidence, we have to follow this vice president?"
The man nodded. "Hehe, of course!"
"So what should we do now? The vice president just went out and went back to his office. Should we leave now? Or wait until he leaves before coming back?"
The man pondered for a moment before saying, "We definitely have to wait until he leaves before going. Let's go look for clues elsewhere first, especially regarding that reporter..."
The woman said, "How did this reporter manage to hide in the hospital? It's been two days already. We've found some evidence, but if we can't find this person, all the evidence we find will be useless!"
The man took her hand and led her to the door, whispering, "When we go out later, remember to be careful and don't disturb the vice president who is resting in his office."
The woman whispered, "Can't we go down through the window?"
The man said, "I don't have that kind of skill. Do you?"
The woman was also a little embarrassed and shook her head, "I don't have any either."
The man placed his hand on the doorknob. "Let's go. Remember to keep your voices down later."
They absolutely cannot stay here any longer. With the vice president in the next office, now is the best time for them to escape.
Just as the two of them opened the office door, a figure was already waiting outside, seemingly having been there for a long time.
The man and woman were stunned when they saw the figure outside. This person...
The man yelled, "Vice Dean!"
The woman immediately did a backflip and hid behind the man, shouting, "What do we do?! What do we do?!"
Lin Leyou: "Who are you two? You look unfamiliar. What brings you here?"
As he questioned them in a calm tone, he pulled out his scalpel. Holding the gleaming scalpel in his hand, he stood with his back to the sunlight at the office door, looking like a grim reaper coming to reap lives.
Man, "Quickly get the props out!"
Lin Leyou stood still and watched as the woman took out a Tang sword from her backpack. It looked very sharp and gleamed coldly, but...
This woman doesn't know how to use a knife.
The man pushed the other person forward and hid behind them.
The woman held the knife in both hands, but she didn't even know how to use a Tang sword to cut people. Her hand gestures were wrong. Since she still took it out, it means that the prop has a special effect.
Before testing what the effect would be, Lin Leyou did not intend to approach her directly, but rather to see if she would take the initiative to approach him and attack him.
Lin Leyou didn't have to wait long. The woman, perhaps emboldened by the prop in her hand, rushed over with the knife, raising the Tang sword with both hands as if to slash at him.
Lin Leyou didn't attack directly with the scalpel. Instead, he took two steps back and then delivered a side kick to the woman's hands holding the scalpel. Just like that, the woman's hands loosened, and the Tang scalpel fell to the ground.
Both women and men were shocked by what they saw, as if they had never encountered anything like it before.
The man shouted, "What's wrong with you? Can't you even hold a knife properly?"
The woman tried to pick up the Tang sword, but unfortunately, Lin Leyou had already stepped on it and couldn't lift it. He kicked the sword aside.
Then he used the scalpel in his hand to slit her neck. It was very easy, and he seemed to feel no resistance at all during the process.
The female player collapsed to the ground clutching her neck. The whole process was smooth and effortless. Lin Leyou felt pretty good about it. After the woman fell to the ground, she reached out towards the Tang sword by the wall, but unfortunately, she could no longer touch it.
This Tang sword now belongs to me.
The man ignored the woman. The exit was behind Lin Leyou, and he couldn't get close. Now, there were only two ways to escape.
They either had to get the Tang sword and kill Lin Leyou, or turn around, open the window, jump out, and escape. Whether they survived or not depended on luck.
Lin Leyou casually picked up the Tang sword, and at that moment the woman breathed her last and died.
"System notification: Congratulations to Lin Leyou for killing a player and obtaining a white-grade grenade."
White-label grenades... I don't really want them, thank you.
However... this knife is quite good. It looks like a Mo Dao (陌刀), and it looks big and heavy. This woman has some difficulty lifting it with both hands. She doesn't know how to practice.
"Tang Mo Dao: Purple-grade item. Each use has a 5% chance to trigger a 'One Slash, Two Cuts' effect! No matter where it hits, it can cut the enemy in two."
Lin Leyou remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he gasped. Good heavens, that meant if he hadn't been lucky enough to dodge, there would have been a 5% chance of him being cut in two.
It's just like my own cursed dagger!
