Chapter 278 Strange Habits
Although Wen Nan could clearly "hear" Mo Yu's thoughts in the passage he was reading now, the background sound was always mixed with the "chi chi" sound that only the character who was previously controlled by the soul thread had made.
Those background sounds should be the sounds of "Thousands of Threads" that Wei Zhe is controlling.
However, unlike Zhang Yanan, an NPC who was completely controlled and lost his soul, although Wei Zhe had a certain degree of control over Mo Yu, the dominance over his body was still left to Mo Yu himself.
Wen Nan thought, to make an inappropriate analogy, the invisible "intricate threads" pulling Mo Yu were not like the strings of a puppet, but more like a dog leash.
As expected of characters brought into the dungeon by Wei Zhe from outside, Wei Zhe has a relatively high level of trust in this pair of "twin brothers and sisters".
This gave Wen Nan convenience and made his strategy possible.
The Gan Tie mentioned in Mo Yu's inner voice just now is the twin brother who looks exactly like her? From Mo Yu's fragmentary words now, Wen Nan can infer that Gan Tie was instructed by Wei Zhe to kill the character in Wang Yajun's laboratory, and he completed it quickly and cleanly.
However, before the Wang Yajun incident, similar tasks were actually assigned to Mo Yu.
The treacherous camp is not afraid of killing the wrong character. They can adopt the strategy of "it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go" and kill all suspicious targets from the very beginning.
The treacherous ministers' camp did implement this strategy in secret. At the beginning, this task was assigned to Mo Yu.
For some reason, Mo Yu did not kill all the targets assigned to her, but just hid secretly. Wei Zhe should have guessed this. Although he did not punish Mo Yu, he transferred the task originally falling on her to her brother Gan Tie.
What Wen Nan had said when he was bluffing in the classroom before was exactly what Mo Yu wanted. Mo Yu thought that his secret hiding of people had been discovered by Wen Nan from the opposing camp, and that Wen Nan was going to tell Gan Tie, so the other party suddenly became anxious.
At this moment, under Mo Yu's inquiring gaze, Wen Nan nodded calmly, and then said: "Really, take me to where you hide people, I can help you."
Hearing the word "Tibetan", Mo Yu's eyes became more alert, and she subconsciously retorted: "I am not Tibetan..."
"He really did know. Did he go to the gymnasium and hear or see any clues around there?"
"Chi, chi, chi, chi..."
"I've been to the gym before and heard it. There's no need to hide these things from me anymore." Wen Nan looked calm and spoke in accordance with the other person's thoughts.
Mo Yu's eyes widened and he looked at Wen Nan in surprise.
"I've been exposed. Did he hear it? Did he just hear it from a distance? He shouldn't have been able to locate it in the equipment room, right?"
"Chi, chi, chi, chi..."
"In the equipment room, right? I heard everything," Wen Nan continued to expose without mercy, "Senior Mo Yu, I hope you can see my sincerity. After all, you hid so many of our people in the equipment room, but I didn't take any action immediately when I found out. Instead, I chose to come to you first."
Mo Yu was stunned for a moment, and after a long while he uttered two words: "No."
"Not what?"
Mo Yu shook his head and didn't continue to answer, but the voice in his heart did not stop -
"Those are not your people. I asked the young master to help me investigate them all. They are all N, N, N or something... Anyway, they are all in the neutral camp."
"Chi, chi, chi, chi..."
Wen Nan listened to the other party's thoughts and realized one thing - although most members of the evil camp could not directly distinguish between NPCs and servants like the loyal ministers, the [Young Master] could, and the [Young Master] had to help the [Traitor] camp, so Mo Yu used the [Young Master] to help confirm the identities of those NPCs, and then pretended to obey and secretly spared those people's lives.
Of course, this does not mean that Mo Yu is a "loyal minister" in the evil camp like Yang Mingzhong. Her stance is still evil. If those NPCs are judged by the [Young Master] as [servants] or identities to be unlocked, she will probably still kill them.
While I was thinking, a system prompt sounded in my mind——
9527: [Your skill, Mind Reading, has ended and is now entering the cooldown period.]
Ten minutes, that's too fast.
If he had known earlier, he should have stacked the Tears of Flowers to extend the time to thirty minutes.
But it didn't matter. A lot of information had been obtained anyway. The other party had obviously been shaken and would probably agree to take him to the gym soon.
Sure enough, the next moment, Mo Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll take you there."
The gymnasium is located next to the Meiyuan playground. It is in a remote location and there are not many people around. However, there are quite a few students playing ball in the venue, and the constant sound of balls hitting the floor and the shouts of students swinging their rackets can be heard.
Under Mo Yu's guidance, Wen Nan came to the gate of the gymnasium, looked around, and soon saw a familiar blood donation vehicle parked in the parking space next to the stadium.
Looking in the direction of the driver's seat, Wen Nan smiled slightly. Mo Yu next to him did not notice his interaction with the blood donation vehicle, and just walked into the venue with his head down.
Wen Nan quickly followed.
The two walked through the gymnasium and along a corridor to the end, where they saw the equipment room with its door locked.
It was very quiet outside the equipment room. Mo Yu stood at the door and observed the surroundings for a moment. After making sure that no one was approaching, he took out the key and opened the chain. The chain was not installed on the door. It seemed that Mo Yu had added it later, so it was a bit difficult to remove.
Wen Nan was about to step forward to help, when a system prompt popped up in his mind -
9527: [Your strategy target and strategy level have been determined. From now on, you can check the target strategy level changes at any time in the system. Please be informed.]
Why is it only now considered complete? Wen Nan quickly checked the strategy level. As expected, it was still 0%, unchanged.
With a jingle, the chain was untied and fell to the ground.
Mo Yu pushed the door open, let Wen Nan in first, and then carefully closed the door again behind him.
There was a strong smell of leather and metal of sporting goods in the equipment room, and dusty equipment was piled up all around. Wen Nan walked across the room and stopped in front of the open space on the inside.
I saw that the ground was full of people lying.
Those people closed their eyes and lay on their backs on the ground, as if they were dead. All of them had their feet facing outwards and their heads facing inwards, forming a circle, forming the shape of a sunflower.
At the center of the flower, there is a shuttle-shaped prop.
It is [intricately connected].
Wen Nan squatted down, squinted his eyes, and looked carefully. Only then did he vaguely see that there was a thin silk thread extending from the heads of these unconscious NPCs, and the other end of the silk thread was wrapped around the piece of "Thousands of Threads" in the center.
And in that piece of "Thousands of Threads", an extra silk thread extended out. The silk thread first wrapped around a tennis racket many times, then stretched to the window, stretched out from the window, and disappeared into the flower bed outside.
What was the purpose of all this? Just as he was thinking, Mo Yu stepped forward and said, "I followed the boss's example and wrapped up the threads. I thought that in this way, the boss wouldn't find out that these people were still alive."
As she spoke, she lowered her eyes to look at the people below her feet, "It looks like it didn't work. The boss has found a problem..."

Wen Nan remembered what Yang Mingzhong had said before, that the item [Thousands of Threads] was easy to learn but difficult to master.
In Mo Yu's case, she was obviously the character who was manipulated by [Thousands of Threads] all year round. Although she was familiar with these threads, she was not clear about the techniques for using them.
It is naturally very difficult to deceive a player like Wei Zhe who can manipulate the Internet.
"You said you could help me?" Mo Yu asked when he saw that the other party was silent.
"I can't help," Wen Nan replied, "but someone may be able to help."
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Hu Jiayao, asking him if he had found Yang Mingzhong.
Hu Jiayao quickly replied: [Found him, he is right next to me, hz, what’s up? ]
After confirming that it was convenient for them to talk, Wen Nan called and Hu Jiayao answered immediately: "What's the matter, President?"
Wen Nan ordered: "Give the piece of [Thousands of Threads] in your hand to Lao Yang and let him answer the phone."
After a moment, Yang Mingzhong's voice sounded on the other end of the phone: "President, do you need my help to remotely operate the character?"
Wen Nan briefly explained the situation on Mo Yu's side. Yang Mingzhong was a smart man and he quickly understood what the other party meant without Wen Nan having to waste his words.
After thinking for a moment, the person on the other end of the phone replied, "Let her put her hand on that [Thousands of Threads], and I can help her. However, once I put those NPCs in a 'dead' state on the Internet, they will be completely out of control. Are you sure you want to do this?"
Wen Nan reconfirmed that those on the ground were indeed NPCs. They were completely out of Wei Zhe's control, which meant that they had restored their neutral status. They did not know Wen Nan before and would not pose any danger to Wen Nan.
So, Wen Nan responded and told Yang Mingzhong to go ahead.
Mo Yu followed the instructions and held the piece of [Thousands of Threads]. The next moment, the chaotically tangled silk threads miraculously untangled themselves, then re-coiled and tied into a knot.
The moment the knot was formed, the thin threads originally connected to the heads of those NPCs fell off at the same time.
"Successful?!" Mo Yu asked excitedly, looking down at the people lying on the ground.
The people who were originally in a coma woke up one by one, sat up and looked around. Most of them had confused and bewildered expressions on their faces.
Only a middle-aged woman in the corner, the moment she saw Mo Yu, immediately burst into deep hatred in her eyes.
Pulling out a fruit knife from her pocket, the middle-aged woman rushed towards Mo Yu at full speed, shouting, "You killed my husband! I'll kill you!"
Mo Yu was originally helping a child nearby and didn't pay attention to the middle-aged woman. When she rushed to him, he hurriedly raised his arms to block her.
The blade of the fruit knife stabbed into her arm, immediately leaving a cut deep enough to see the bone, and blood gushed out in an instant.
Wen Nan took a step forward, grabbed the middle-aged woman's wrist tightly, and twisted it with his backhand. The woman screamed in pain and dropped the knife.
The middle-aged woman was very emotional and was still yelling at Mo Yu. Wen Nan had no choice but to take out the handcuffs from the spare equipment column and handcuffed her to the iron frame next to her.
Mo Yu hugged his injured forearm, staring blankly at Wen Nan handcuffing someone, a strange look in his eyes.
Wen Nan did not notice the change in the other person's expression. He rushed to Mo Yu, grabbed his arm, and checked the wound. "Where are you hurt? Let me see."
During the movement, Wen Nan's fingers accidentally pressed on the wound on Mo Yu's arm. She gasped in pain and subconsciously retracted her hand to her chest. Her eyes widened and she looked at Wen Nan vigilantly.
Wen Nan felt that he had not controlled the strength of his hands well, and subconsciously wanted to apologize.
Before he could speak, a system prompt sounded in his mind -
9527: [Congratulations, target Mo Yu, current attack rate increased to: 8%. ]
Wen Nan:? (End of this chapter)
