Chapter 237 Old Acquaintance (Monthly Ticket Plus)
If this were the case in the real world, Wen Nan would definitely step forward to save people without hesitation.
Even though the risk of being a hero is very high, there is a life on the other side, and he cannot bear to watch the girl die in front of him.
However, this is now a game world, so Wen Nan became hesitant.
In this copy, there are clear opposing camps.
That girl is the [Queen] or [Princess], and the boy with a knife behind her back is the [traitor] or [assassin]?
If this is the case, Wen Nan, as a [loyal minister], should step forward to help, but if he does so, Wen Nan will completely expose his identity as a [loyal minister] -
After all, in this copy, there is no need for [traitors] and [assassins] to save people, their mission is only to kill people. From a purely standpoint, the only one who can save people is the [loyal minister].
Exposing your identity at the beginning of the game, before finding the refresh point, is definitely not a wise choice in this copy.
Moreover, although the girl is in danger at the moment and the boy is obviously the perpetrator, does this really mean that the girl is neutral or just and the boy is evil?
Is it possible that the girl is actually in the evil camp, but she deliberately acted like this at the beginning of the game, trying to blow out the players in the justice camp, and at the same time, give everyone a preconceived impression of a weak person, so as to facilitate disguising her identity in the evil camp?
Wen Nan didn't have much time to think, because the girl was no longer able to crawl forward, and the boy was about to catch up with her.
Wen Nan slowly approached the two people, and finally, within a certain distance, he heard the system prompt in his mind -
9527: [Your skill, Mind Reading, has taken effect. It will be effective for a total of 10 minutes.]
The skill of mind reading was successfully cast on the target closer to Wen Nan—the girl who was dying on the ground.
A sharp voice soon appeared in my mind.
"Chi, chi, chi, chi..."
This is……
Just as Wen Nan was stunned, the boy with his face covered by a hood had already caught up with the girl lying on the ground and squatted down. The boy held down her body with one hand to prevent her from struggling, and raised the other arm high, stabbing the blade towards the girl's back.
However, just as the blade was about to pierce through the flesh, the boy's arm was grabbed by someone.
At some point, a burly man climbed in through the window. He came around from the other side of the cafeteria, first picked up a stool as a cover, and then approached the boy with the knife as quickly as possible.
When the boy was about to give the girl the final fatal blow, he stopped her in time.
The boy twisted his wrist hard, trying to break free from the other party's hand. However, the sturdy boy was much stronger than the boy with the knife, and he couldn't break free at all in a head-on confrontation.
The burly man exerted force with both hands and easily snatched the knife from the boy's hand. When he was about to raise his hand to lift the hood on the other's head, the other person quickly dodged and took advantage of the moment when the man's grip loosened to break free from the man's hand.
After the knife was taken away from him, the hooded boy gave up the fight, turned around, and fled the scene through the window as quickly as possible.
The opponent's agility was not low, and the sturdy man was unable to chase him. He turned to look at the girl lying in front of him, "Hey! Can you hear me?"
At this moment, the assailant disappeared, and the people watching outside the cafeteria door began to look inside curiously.
Nearly twenty years ago, school security was not as complete and efficient as it is now. When the crisis was almost over, a team of people in security uniforms were seen rushing towards the door.
When the medical staff were carrying the injured and unconscious girl onto a stretcher, the burly man who had attacked her was called away for questioning by the police officers who arrived later.
On the way out of the cafeteria, the sturdy man caught the attention of all the onlookers and became the brightest focus in the crowd.
Wen Nan and Zhao Wanting stood far away on the other side of the cafeteria. Wen Nan silently looked at the crowd of onlookers - how many players were mixed in here, and were there any key characters appearing?
No matter how many camp members were present, one thing was certain—everyone had clearly seen what the burly man had done just now.
The identity of the injured girl was unclear, and the purpose of the hooded boy was unknown. However, the burly man taken away by the police was most likely a [loyalist].
The dungeon has just begun. Theoretically, everyone has just received their faction cards, and no one will activate them so quickly.
In other words, the strong man who was taken away was a player who was a clear [loyal subject] and had not yet found his own refresh point.
Such an identity will definitely make him the focus at this stage, and even the target of public criticism.
Wen Nan and Zhao Wanting were invited out by the staff who were cleaning up the scene. As they walked out side by side, Zhao Wanting said with lingering fear, "How unlucky! How could I encounter such a thing?"
As she spoke, she patted her chest, her brows unconsciously frowned, and her face looked pale as she recalled the bloody scene just now.
Wen Nan stared at the other person's face, trying to discern any signs of lying from his subtle expressions, but to no avail.
Either Zhao Wanting is a good actress, or she is really just a character that has nothing to do with this matter.
Seeing the man opposite staring at her, Zhao Wanting said, "Do you want to go back to our school with me and hide for a while? It's scary when something like this happens here." After thinking for a while, she changed her mind and added, "Or, let's get a room next door and not stay at the school tonight, right?"
At this time, are you still thinking about doing that kind of thing with Wen Nan?
Wen Nan smiled helplessly and said truthfully: "You heard it in the lecture hall just now. I have to go to the Life Science Building later and can't leave."
Looking towards the school's main entrance, Wen Nan said again, "You go back first, I'll take you out?"
Zhao Wanting waved her hand and said, "I'll go by myself. Be careful in school. If you want to get a room, feel free to contact me." As she said that, she raised her hand and shook the "antique" Nokia in her hand.
The last sentence was heard by two students who were passing by. They turned their heads at the same time and glanced at Wen Nan meaningfully, with the thought in their eyes: How could you, at such a young age, be a prostitute?
Wen Nan felt somewhat helpless as he watched Zhao Wanting leave, then turned around and walked towards the police room.
In his mind, the system showed that there was about an hour and forty minutes left to find his exclusive refresh point and complete the activation.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wen Nan decided to go and check on the player who had revealed his card [Loyal Minister] first.
After all, they are teammates in his own camp, and if he misses them at such a critical moment, he will lose a lot of important information.
The small police station was now crowded with people. Wen Nan blended in easily and learned about the current situation.
The player who was clearly a loyalist is still being questioned inside and has not come out. At the same time, several other teachers and students who were closely related to the crime scene were called in. The boy with a knife is still at large. The school has joined forces with the local police to do their best to track down the murderer.
In this day and age, there is no high-end equipment like Sky Eye, and there are almost no cameras in the entire campus. This is also a school with relatively weak awareness of prevention. It is not difficult for an experienced murderer to escape from pursuit.
Of course, Wen Nan is not concerned about whether the murderer can be caught now - this is a game copy after all, and judging from the agility value of the boy with the knife, he is definitely not an ordinary NPC, but most likely a player, or a skilled strategy character, so there is a high possibility that he will escape sanctions in the short term.
What Wen Nan is more concerned about now is how many members of the evil camp can be lured out by such an obvious card [Loyal Minister] in the police station.
Scanning the crowd, Wen Nan quickly spotted a boy in a white T-shirt standing in the middle of the crowd, always covering his face with his hands, a short-haired girl wearing a mask standing on the outside of the crowd, and a man wearing a black shirt and black pants standing outside the crowd, next to a tree.
They seemed too calm, and looked out of place compared to the crowd that was now panicking and whispering.
Wen Nan was just about to lock onto these three targets to see what further actions they would take. At this moment, a gaze from the crowd fell directly on Wen Nan.
Following the direction of the sight, Wen Nan discovered that it was Wu Qing, the young teacher who had taught him in the classroom just now.
Wu Qing was originally just looking at Wen Nan silently. After discovering that the other party had also noticed him, he immediately smiled at Wen Nan, then simply squeezed through the crowd and moved closer to Wen Nan.
Wen Nan was stunned for a moment, then quickly took two steps forward and took the initiative to greet him.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Like the other students in the lecture hall, Wen Nan called the other student "Teacher Wu" and asked, "Are you here too... to understand the situation?"
Wu Qing waved his hand. "I'm here to wait for Xiao Hu. Professor Wang is looking for him. When he comes out, I have to take him to the laboratory."
"...Xiao Hu?" Wen Nan vaguely guessed who the other party was talking about when he heard it.
Sure enough, Wu Qing said, "It was my graduate student junior, the boy who just bravely stepped forward to help others."
As he was talking, the burly boy walked out of the police room.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he immediately aroused warm cheers and applause from the surrounding students, as if they were celebrating the triumphant return of some great hero.
This kind of enthusiasm obviously did not make the senior named Hu happy at all. To him, it was more like a burden. He pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, then raised his hand, half covering his face, hunched over, and tried hard to leave the place where the crowd was the most dense.
It seems that this player has come to his senses at this moment and realized that his behavior of exposing his identity was somewhat reckless.
He crouched and took two steps forward, but was immediately blocked.
"Xiao Hu!" Wu Qing stood in front of him, grabbed his arm and said, "What are you doing with your head down? You did a good deed, why are you acting like a thief?"
The moment their arms touched, it was obvious that Senior Hu's body stiffened and a moment of confusion appeared on his face.
It seems that during the contact between the two, the system in each other's mind triggered the character introduction.
After a moment, the confusion on the other person's face disappeared, and he called out tentatively: "... Senior Sister Wu?"
Wu Qing waved his hand, "Don't waste time, follow me to Lao Wang's laboratory."
Senior Hu did not move, staring at Wu Qing suspiciously, obviously trying to guess his identity.
Although this player named Hu is a little reckless, he is not stupid. He should be very clear that at this critical juncture, if the player Wu Qing on the opposite side is a player or character from the evil camp, it would be very dangerous to follow the other party and go to the other party's territory.
So he remained silent and looked at Wu Qing, but had no intention of following him away.
While the other party was looking at Wu Qing, Wen Nan stood aside and looked at this tall and strong man——
I always feel that the other person's appearance and temperament are a bit familiar, as if I have seen him somewhere...
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and leave." Wu Qing urged the other party when he saw that he didn't move.
The player named Hu was urged like this, and his doubts deepened. He simply became cowardly and waved his hand, "I have something else to do, so I won't go."
Wu Qing was a little annoyed and called the other person by his full name: "Hu Jiayao, what can you do that is more important than Lao Wang's summons?"
Hearing this, Wen Nan's brows slightly raised.
...Hu Jiayao?
Wen Nan, who was originally in a state of "minding his own business" and watching the fun, was now forced to seriously re-examine the player in front of him.
Hu Jiayao was struggling with the question of whether to go with Wu Qing. He felt uncomfortable being stared at by the person next to him. He glared at the person unhappily. After seeing the person's face clearly, he showed a confused expression.
Wen Nan looked back at the other person.
He had no intention of intervening in this matter, but now the situation is different. "If I were you, I would listen to your senior sister and go to the laboratory. It would be a wiser choice."
Hu Jiayao was stunned for a moment. For a moment, he subconsciously wanted to agree to the other party's proposal, but soon he felt that this idea was inexplicable.
With his neck stiff and his nose pointed at Wen Nan, he asked with disdain, "Who are you? Mind your own business!"
Wen Nan was not annoyed when he heard this. He raised his hand and patted the other person's shoulder. "It's just a suggestion. I think you will accept it."
Wu Qing looked at Wen Nan and thought this student was quite interesting. Xiao Hu was so stubborn that he didn't even take Lao Wang's words to heart. As a kid who hasn't even graduated from college, why do you think he would be obedient?
However, when Wu Qing was thinking this, he turned around and saw Hu Jiayao next to him suddenly froze, with a strange expression on his face as if he had seen holy light.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to shout something, but finally he restrained himself and said nothing.
Turning to look at Wu Qing, Hu Jiayao changed his previous attitude and said, "Let's go, Senior Sister, to Lao Wang's laboratory."
"Ah?" Wu Qing suspected that he had heard it wrong.
