Chapter 193 Acting
'Has our reconnaissance been detected?'
Sitting in a secluded seat in the library, Dorothy threw the gold coin and then covered her hand with it. After feeling the reduction of spirituality, Dorothy slowly moved her palm away. On the back of her other hand lay the shiny gold coin, which showed the front side.
"As expected... my investigation was discovered..."
Looking at the divination result in her hand, Dorothy understood what she was thinking. Regarding the various abnormal behaviors of the Thorn before, Dorothy thought there was only one possibility, that is, the other party had noticed her investigation, so he immediately changed the subject, shut up about confidential information, and quickly entered the stone gate in an attempt to block the investigation.
The reason why he was discovered was most likely because of the spider silk.
Those spider silks...are only found behind the corridor. When Cirong wanted to talk about secrets, he had to go into that corridor on purpose. Cirong suddenly changed the subject, apparently after his corpse gecko touched the spider silk...
'It seems that those dense spider silks should be some kind of sensors with extraordinary properties. As long as something abnormal touches the spider silk, Thorn will sense it. He relied on this perception to detect the existence of my gecko corpse.
"Hiss... I was careless. The Eight-Pointed Nest actually has such anti-detection measures. I didn't expect it at all..." Dorothy thought. When dealing with the Holy Communion Society before, the anti-detection of the other party's base was almost zero. Her small corpses could do whatever they wanted and steal key information without the other party being able to find out. But now, the Eight-Pointed Nest obviously has anti-detection measures, which is obviously a level stronger than the Holy Communion Society.
Knowing that her investigation had been discovered, Dorothy was not panicked. Instead, she was a little surprised and confused. She wondered why the other party had naturally noticed her corpse gecko, but did not take any action?
'It was clear that the Corpse Gecko had been discovered, but they didn't try to shoot it down, causing me to lose a reconnaissance puppet. Instead, they just entered the stone gate to block the reconnaissance and wait for me to get the Corpse Gecko back. This doesn't feel right.
'And that thorn changed the subject when he tried to pretend he didn't know about my corpse. Why did he do that?'
Dorothy frowned slightly when she found the new suspicious point. She felt something was wrong. She often acted like a human and felt that the thorns were pretending to be ignorant. They must be up to something. She put herself in the thorns' perspective and thought about it from their perspective. Suddenly, she had a sinister idea.
"That guy wouldn't... do this again, would he? No, I have to verify it."
As she spoke, Dorothy began to change the trajectory of the gecko corpse that was crawling towards her in the school, preparing to retrieve it, and let it crawl in another direction first. Then she stood up from her seat and walked all the way to the bathroom in the library.
Then Dorothy took out the magic box, released the crow doll from it, and let it fly out of the small ventilation window in the bathroom and into the sky outside.
Controlling the crow doll, Dorothy let it fly in the direction of the gecko doll, then flew into the building and landed on a stone beam in the corridor.
So Dorothy let the crow doll wait here, waiting for the gecko doll to crawl over from afar. After a while, Dorothy controlled the gecko doll to crawl over along the wall.
The gecko corpse crawled under the crow corpse under its surveillance. Not long after the gecko corpse crawled past, Dorothy saw from the crow corpse's field of vision that behind the gecko corpse, there were two small black spiders climbing the wall and following closely behind it.
"As expected, you pretended not to notice me and played me so that I wouldn't be alerted and could track me down..."
Dorothy thought so as she looked at the little black spider behind the dead gecko, and she was glad that she had thought of this in time and did not rush to let the dead gecko come back, otherwise it would have been completely exposed.
The confrontation with the Eight-Pointed Nest has just begun. If my true self is exposed like this, then what will happen later?
Having avoided a crisis in time, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief and began to think of ways to deal with it.
"Huh... So what should I do now... It's easy to get rid of the tracking, just touch the gecko corpse and control it, or control the crow corpse to eat the spider, but doing so is equivalent to telling the other party that I have noticed you.
'It's easy to deal with these tracking spiders, but is there any way to defeat them in reverse?'
Dorothy thought in the bathroom for a while, and after a while an idea came into her mind.
"I have it... maybe this is the way..."
Dorothy was thinking about it, and was about to take something out of the magic box. At this time, there was an impatient knock on the bathroom door. Dorothy realized that she seemed to have stayed in the bathroom for a little too long, and then she hurriedly pushed open the door and walked out, letting the other girl in a hurry in.
After walking out of the bathroom, Dorothy immediately left the library and quickly came to an empty stairwell. Here, Dorothy temporarily let the crow dolls find a place to sleep, and then paid an extra 1 point of "Start" to expand the upper limit of the number of dolls.
Then, Dorothy took out the magic box, enlarged the exit, and controlled two human corpses to crawl out and stand in front of her.
One of them was Brandon and the other was Edric, both of whom were common corpses for Dorothy. Looking at the two corpses in front of her, Dorothy smiled and said.
"Brandon first, Edrick first, the rest of the play is left to you."
"Of course, miss."
"It is a mission well accomplished."
After briefly responding to Dorothy's question, Brandon and Edluk left, leaving Dorothy standing there with a smile on her face.
"Aren't you playing me? It just so happens that I'm also quite good at acting..."
…
Royal St. Aquinas University, west of King's Campus.
On the wall of a spiral staircase in a clock tower, a gecko was climbing up the spiral staircase with all its might. Not far behind the gecko, two small black spiders were following closely behind, constantly tracking the gecko's figure.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time and a long climb, the gecko came to a storage room on the clock tower. At this moment, there were already two figures waiting here.
They are both men, one of them is wearing a windbreaker and a hat, with a thin face, a high nose and deep eyes, and looks dusty. The other is wearing a suit, young and handsome, with neatly combed hair.
The moment the gecko crawled into the room, the man in the windbreaker shifted his gaze to it, then stretched out his hand and placed it on the ground, smiling and whispering.
"Oh... you're back, little darling. Tell me, what did you see and hear?"
After hearing the man's words, the gecko quickly crawled towards him and crawled into his palm. Then the man closed his eyes and stroked the gecko, as if feeling something.
All of this was seen by the spiders that followed secretly.
