Chapter 273 Another Fragment
However, Wen Nan kept this question in his heart and didn't ask it out loud in the end.
It was a good thing that Hu Jiayao was kept in the dark the whole time. As an [Assassin], Yang Mingzhong would be declared the loser immediately once his identity was exposed to all the members of the justice camp.
However, even if he hid his identity, as a lone assassin, with big men holding the scepter fragments in both the loyal and treacherous camps, the possibility of him making it to the end was almost zero.
Thinking of this, Wen Nan looked at the other party, and his eyes became a little complicated.
Yang Mingzhong's eyes met his and he smiled, "President, don't look at me like that. When I came here, I didn't plan to leave alive."
Wen Nan looked at him steadily.
Then Yang Mingzhong said in a very calm tone: "After seeing that Shuyi was safe and sound in the previous copy, I originally planned to end it directly.
“But after talking to you, I changed my mind. My account will be cancelled sooner or later anyway, so I might as well find a way to get rid of that person and then cancel the account.
"I bought information from other guilds and learned that there are members of the Ghost Tamer Alliance in this instance. I plan to come here to test and see if I can find a way to get a pass and then die together with that person after leaving here.
“I didn’t expect that I would be so lucky to meet that person right here, which saved me a lot of trouble.
"President, there is no need to worry about me. What I fear most is that you will hesitate because of my situation. That's why I have been hiding until now and dare not meet you."
Wen Nan nodded.
Of course, he was well aware of Yang Mingzhong's concerns.
From the moment he guessed that Yang Mingzhong was the [assassin], Wen Nan understood what he was thinking - he wanted to die and drag Wei Zhe down with him.
Therefore, even though he is in the [Assassin] camp, Yang Mingzhong's stance is exactly the same as that of the [Loyal Minister]. He even hopes that the [Traitor] will completely disappear from this game more than the [Loyal Minister].
“I understand that if it really comes down to it, and our positions conflict, I won’t give in for you,” Winan said. “But if there’s any room for maneuver, I’ll do my best to help you.”
Hu Jiayao looked at the guild president, then at Lao Yang next to him, not really understanding what they were talking about. They were all from the same guild, and were all [loyal subjects]. For them, this dungeon should be easy to pass with their eyes downcast. Why did the tone of their conversation sound so heavy?
On the other side, Yang Mingzhong looked at Wen Nan and was moved for a moment, but in the end he just shook his head and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "It's not worth it for someone like me."
Wen Nan heard the other party's whisper and said firmly in a calm tone: "You are my member. Whether it is worth it or not is up to me. An experienced old player like you is a rare beast of burden. Do you think that as the president, I will let you go easily?"
Yang Mingzhong raised his head again and looked at the other party. For a moment, he seemed to really believe that the president could revive his current doomed path, but in the end he suppressed all his extravagant hopes and just smiled and said, "I understand, President."
Wen Nan patted the other person's shoulder gently, and thought of another question, so he asked, "By the way, you squatted at the door of the milk tea shop for a long time just now? Did you try to test the manager inside?"
Yang Mingzhong nodded, "I have unlocked it before, it's an ordinary NPC."
Wen Nan was stunned. "Ordinary NPC? Where's the background introduction?"
Yang Mingzhong is in the evil camp and cannot share his role card with Wen Nan. He can only dictate: "The background introduction is very simple, just saying that I am the store manager."
Wen Nan nodded.
As expected, it seems that the ability to distinguish between NPCs and servants is an ability that only the justice camp possesses.
The "twin" brother and sister who were sitting in the store drinking milk tea just now, and Zhou Shijie, were all NPCs or characters, so they didn't realize that the store manager was a servant, nor did they know that the store manager had the special personality of being "warm-hearted" and "loving gossip."
The person who had hurriedly left before Wen Nan entered the store was obviously careless about this.
Thinking of this, Wen Nan looked at the piece of [Thousands of Threads] held in Hu Jiayao's hand, and asked Yang Mingzhong: "Besides Zhou Shijie, do you know the details of the other couple in the milk tea shop just now?"
Yang Mingzhong shook his head and answered truthfully: “I can only be sure that those two people were definitely brought here by that person. However, before I left the [Ghost Master Alliance] Guild, I knew that among the many characters that person controlled and manipulated, I had never seen these two characters.
"Maybe it's a new role he took on after I left. Maybe it's a role he kept very secret before and never revealed to me. Or maybe... it's an old character I know, wearing a new skin."
Wen Nan was slightly surprised when he heard this. "Old character, new skin?"
Yang Mingzhong nodded, "In this case, there are many props and equipment in the [Ghost Master Alliance] that can make it happen. After all, for most members there, the characters they control are just their own puppets or dogs. Sometimes when they get tired of playing with them, they want to change to a fresh skin, which is a very common demand.
“However, those props and equipment, in theory, cannot be used in this copy.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"This instance is a faction confrontation instance. The moment each player enters the instance, they will be assigned their faction and identity. Then, based on the situation, some adjustments will be made to the players' original appearances to suit their respective backgrounds.
"Under this situation, it is very difficult for players to adjust their appearance privately. As far as I know, there is no item in the [Ghost Master Alliance]'s prop equipment library that can achieve this effect in this type of dungeon.
"So, I'm more inclined to the first two scenarios - these are two characters I don't know."
Wen Nan agreed with Yang Mingzhong's statement and began to recall the situation of the "twin brother and sister" in his mind.
Yang Mingzhong moved his injured foot, adjusted his sitting position, and warned Wen Nan with a serious expression:
"That man has always been cautious, and he has already reached the gold level. He also holds the fragment of the divine staff. If we meet him head-on, it is better to run away, President."
Wen Nan was about to say something when Hu Jiayao next to him couldn't sit still anymore. He jumped up and hit his head on the roof of the blood donation vehicle. He then sat down with his head covered. He came forward and said anxiously, "Who are you talking about? A ghost master? A gold rank? And there are also fragments of the magic wand?
"Shit! Are you talking about the Guild Master of the Ghost Tamer Alliance? He came to this instance? Why would a player of his rank come to a Level 7 instance like ours?!"
Yang Mingzhong turned to look at Hu Jiayao, and rarely did he show a look of shock on his calm face.
Brother, why does it seem like your reaction time is a little longer? However, Yang Mingzhong quickly suppressed his shocked expression and regained his composure. He then said, "In order to prevent high-level players from maliciously bombing, players with too high a level will be restricted from entering low-level dungeons. However, the scepter fragments are not within this restriction."
As he spoke, Yang Mingzhong looked at Wen Nan again, "So, President, please be careful of that man's scepter fragment - the Matthew fragment."
