Chapter 239 Waiting for the Rabbit
As soon as this bold idea came to mind, it was immediately interrupted by a commotion nearby——
"Hey! Who is it? I saw you! Come out now!"
About ten meters away, a man's loud shout was heard.
Judging from the voice, it should be the security guard or police officer in the school.
Such a scolding was quite intimidating. If it were an ordinary student, he would probably have been scared to the point of pulling up his pants and walking out in shame.
When I was in school, we used this method during the night security patrols to catch many students who were having secret meetings in the dark. It was like catching fish in a pond. We could lure out half a hillside's worth of people at a time.
But a seasoned man like Wen Nan would not be fooled. He knew very well that at times like this, one must have a strong mental character and hold on to the end.
So, when he heard the shouting from the opposite side, Wen Nan did not move.
On the other side, there was a rustling sound.
Soon, a boy in a white T-shirt slowly walked out from the bushes nearby. He seemed very afraid of the patrol officer. He even raised his hands above his head the whole time. Finally, he stopped in front of the patrol officer and said in a timid voice, "Uncle policeman, I am a student at T University. Please don't arrest me."
The patrolman seemed to think that the other party was indeed not a threat, so he slowed down his tone and asked, "What are you doing here? Don't you know that something happened at the school? Do you know how dangerous it is to come to a place like this at this time?"
The boy immediately nodded and admitted his mistake, "I'm sorry, I didn't know, I, I made an appointment with my girlfriend in advance, so I came here to wait for her..."
At first glance, this conversation seemed to be fine, but Wen Nan, who was hiding in the dark, knew that the other party was far from being as simple as he seemed.
The boy in the white T-shirt was one of the three suspects that Wen Nan had identified from the crowd at the door of the police station just now.
He was just investigating the scene outside the police station, and now he is pretending to be harmless, saying that he didn't know about the murder.
This person is quite extraordinary.
Of course, the patrolman opposite that person looked like an ordinary NPC. Hearing what the other party said, he didn't think too much. He pointed the flashlight in his hand in the direction of the mountain trail next to him, and stepped aside to make way. "Hurry up and leave. Don't get close to this area. It's uneasy..."
Before he finished saying the word "quan", his eyes passed the boy in the white T-shirt in front of him and saw a dark shadow behind him, whoosh, passing by.
"Who are you? Stop!"
The patrolman immediately shouted at the dark shadow.
But the black shadow showed no intention of stopping, and soon disappeared completely from sight.
It seems that the patrolman's "raking rabbits by the bush" behavior just now also alarmed the other person lurking in the dark. He hid deeper than the boy in the white T-shirt, but his mentality was far from being as stable as Wen Nan.
After much hesitation, he finally decided to take advantage of the moment when the patrolman was talking to the boy in the white T-shirt and take the opportunity to escape from the scene.
The patrolman immediately chased after the black shadow at full speed.
The patrolman's colleague also came up at this time, and while telling the boy in the white T-shirt to leave as soon as possible, he called for help through the intercom: "Worker number 0379, in the middle of Lover's Hill, a suspected target was found, requesting support, and applying to block the entire hillside."
After getting confirmation from the other side, the patrol officer quickly followed his colleagues and chased forward.
Soon, Wen Nan, lurking in the dark, was the only one left nearby.
This hillside will soon be blocked and under martial law. If you want to use this "small hole" in front of you as your own exclusive refresh point, for time considerations, you must take advantage of now and complete the activation of the camp card in the hole as soon as possible.
Wen Nan lowered his head to look at the cave. There was a faint golden light emanating from the entrance of the cave, as if urging Wen Nan to act quickly.
In the end, Wen Nan just half-covered the cave entrance with stones, then turned around and left.
This small hole glittering with golden light was indeed attractive at first, but Wen Nan decided not to drill into it.
It’s not because I’m afraid of the blockade and martial law imposed by the police here—
Their exclusive refresh points are used to protect the contents of the faction cards from being discovered by other players and the evil faction's strategy characters, not to target NPCs.
If there is a group of NPCs without any information to help surround the refresh point through martial law, this will not be a burden to the players, but on the contrary, it will increase the safety chips.
But Wen Nan decided to give up this near-perfect place.
Firstly, this place might have been exposed. The boy in the white T-shirt who was pretending to be a good boy and the black shadow who passed by were hiding in the dark just now. It is possible that they have discovered this place. Wen Nan can't take the risk of using this place as his refresh point.
However, there is another more important point -
A perfect refresh point location that might be exposed to some players, when left vacant, is equivalent to a perfect trap for Wen Nan.
If he leaves now and comes back after the main quest begins, he will probably find an honest "little squirrel" trying to make a nest here.
In this way, a faction card of another player can be easily obtained.
Thinking of this, Wen Nan left the hillside.
The system prompt countdown that appeared in his mind made Wen Nan's originally happy mood become less relaxed.
The appearance of the patrol personnel and the two players just now caused Wen Nan to waste dozens of minutes without realizing it.
Now, there are only 30 minutes left.
It is not realistic to use 30 minutes to find a hidden building in this dungeon map that is more perfect than the small hole just now.
Wen Nan didn't intend to do such a waste of energy.
It was already afternoon, and he decided to... go have some tea first.
Walking down the hillside, there is a milk tea shop at the foot of the mountain called "Gang Yin Zhi Gang". Wen Nan didn't hesitate and walked in directly.
The milk tea shop is a simple wooden building with a small area. There are only four tables inside the store, an awning in front of the door, and four additional tables outdoors.
Wen Nan pushed open the door, causing a "ding-ling-ling" sound to be heard from the door. A clerk immediately came out from behind the counter and smiled at Wen Nan: "Welcome, what would you like to drink?"
Wen Nan walked to the counter and glanced at the menu above his head.
In this era, pearl milk tea had just become popular, and there was no prosperous situation with hundreds of brands competing for the spotlight, such as Moxi, Babao, Baihe, and Dianping.
Milk tea is still mainly composed of milk and tea, and has not gradually evolved into a cup of thick sweet porridge.
Wen Nan took a quick look and ordered the signature silk stocking milk tea. The clerk smiled and said, "After the discount, the total is 8.8 yuan. Do you want to take it away or drink it here?"
"Drink here."
There is no electronic payment here, so Wen Nan could only take out a crumpled ten-dollar bill from the equipment reserve column and hand it to the other party.
The clerk took the banknote and skillfully took out two fifty-cent coins and two ten-cent coins from the cash register and handed them to Wen Nan. "Please find a seat and sit down. I'll bring it to you when it's ready."
Wen Nan went outside, found a table closest to the edge with the widest view, sat down, and when he looked up, he could see the scenery of the hillside at a glance.
After all, this is a game copy, not reality, so although a murder case caused quite a stir, it did not completely affect the entire campus.
Now this beverage shop located at the foot of the mountain has not been affected at all. The staff looks very relaxed and the environment is very quiet.
Wen Nan leaned back in his chair, tossing a few coins in his hands, his eyes fixed on the mountain top in the distance.
Wen Nan was the only customer in the store. The waiter served the food very quickly and five minutes later he brought a cup of milk tea on a tray.
While placing the milk tea in front of Wen Nan, the waiter followed Wen Nan's line of sight and looked into the distance, and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Just sit back and wait." Wen Nan replied with a smile.
The clerk couldn't help but look around the entrance of his shop and said, "There are no trees around our store."
Wen Nan pointed at himself and said, "I am the tree."
The clerk smiled and said, "Then just wait for your rabbit, Mr. Tree."
After the clerk left, Wen Nan glanced at the system countdown in his mind.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
With only 15 minutes left before the camp card was activated, that familiar figure came in front of Wen Nan.
The clerk standing behind the counter, pretending to clean the table, was always watching the strange guest at the table outside the door.
Within a few minutes, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure, a nice chest, and skin so white that it seemed to be made of ice and snow and glowed in the sun was seen walking slowly to the customer's table.
"To be honest... there are actually White Rabbit teas there?" The clerk couldn't help but look around his small milk tea shop, "Why don't I have such good luck?"
On the other side, the woman walked over to Wen Nan, bent down, raised her hand and gently stroked Wen Nan's cheek, looked at him affectionately, and complained softly: "It's so easy for me to find you."
Wen Nan smiled and looked back at the other person, "Not a rabbit anymore?"
Guan Ailin smiled and shook her head, “Once you come in here, you will be back to your original state.”
It seemed that because she was connected to Blizzard Villa through the soul thread, Guan Ailin now looked much whiter than before, as if she had Nordic blood.
However, her facial features are still as delicate as before, and her mind is still very broad.
Wen Nan had determined not long ago that Guan Ailin would come to find him - Guan Ailin was a high-star character he brought out after signing the agreement. Because she was held highly responsible for her actions, the system had built-in real-time location sharing information for the two.
While standing on Lover's Hill, Wen Nan was thinking about how to find the next hidden building as his refresh point, when the figure of the little white rabbit appeared in his mind.
He was sure that the rabbit was teleported in with him, but for some reason, it did not land in the same place later.
So Wen Nan quickly called up the characters associated with his player interface from the system. In addition to the two driving characters, there was also information about a guarantor character.
Below the character's information bar, the shared real-time location information showed that the other party was approaching him at full speed.
After confirming this, Wen Nan put away the system, leisurely found a milk tea shop, and waited for his rabbit to come.
And at this moment, Guan Ailin arrived as expected.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Guan Ailin couldn't help it. She held Wen Nan's cheek, leaned forward, and gently kissed the corner of his lips.
Wen Nan's eyes unconsciously glanced down, the deep ravines there seemed to suck all his energy in. Wen Nan suddenly felt that if he continued kissing, it might cause trouble, so he held the other's hand that was touching his cheek, then stood up and took her hand and walked into the milk tea shop.
Guan Ailin looked confused, but seeing that the other party seemed a little anxious, she didn't ask any more questions and let Wen Nan drag her in.
"Boss, is there a restroom?" Wen Nan asked the clerk.
The clerk who was eating melons at the moment restrained his smile of watching the show and pointed to the corner, "It's over there, just use it, feel free to use it, you're welcome."
The clerk's words startled Wen Nan. He deliberately stumbled forward, reached out and supported the clerk's arm.
The clerk immediately held Wen Nan with both hands and helped him stand firmly, "Mr. Shu, be careful!"
9527: [Successfully contacted the target, unlocking the target information for you——]
[Name: Lu Renjia (Brother Jia)]
[Occupation: Manager of Hong Kong Milk Tea Shop]
[Introduction: This store manager and clerk looks very young, but he has actually been running a milk tea shop at the foot of Lover's Hill for nearly ten years. He is a bit gossipy and talkative, but he is easy-going and helpful. He makes first-class silk stocking milk tea and is very popular among students.]
[Faction: Servant]
Servant?
This is actually a neutral character? Moreover, the servant's information is directly disclosed to the public? This is the best.
Just now, Wen Nan was alerted by the other party's words "Feel free to use it", and suspected that there might be something fishy in this store.
Now it seems that he was overly suspicious. The manager said that purely because of his "gossipy" and "helpful" character.
Wen Nan felt relieved and pulled Guan Ailin into the toilet next door, closed the door and locked it.
Unlike the public toilets in restaurants, the toilets in these small milk tea shops, like the private toilets in ordinary residences, only have a single cubicle.
The staff in this shop are quite particular. The toilet is decorated very warmly. The paper towels are wrapped in cute plush bear dolls, and there are incense sticks on the side.
Guan Ailin glanced at the toilet and said, "I don't need it, you yourself - huh?"
She was halfway through her words when Wen Nan came up and cornered her in front of the sink, "Erin, help me?"
"How can I help? Tell me." Guan Ailin held the other person's cheeks with both hands, looking like she would agree to anything.
Wen Nan lifted one of her legs high up, and then handed her a golden card from his palm, "Help me hide this."
Guan Ailin looked at Wen Nan's palm, which was empty, and there was clearly nothing there. "What? How do you hide it?"
Wen Nan reached his hand down.
Feeling the other person's movements, Guan Ailin's whole body stiffened, she raised her hand and squeezed the other person's shoulder hard.
There was no refusal, but Guan Ailin panted and whispered: "Jiu, you are... a bit like a pervert."
