Chapter 287: To do it or not to do it
Two hours ago, T University campus, at the foot of Lover's Hill.
Hu Jiayao squatted on the ground, motionless, his eyes wide open, as if he was still awake.
Next to him, Yang Mingzhong was holding two "Thousands of Silk Threads" in his hands, his brows slightly furrowed, concentrating on every tiny vibration of the silk threads, like a patient fisherman.
Suddenly, the "signal" of the silver thread pulling one of them was completely interrupted.
This means that the man suddenly moved into a space that did not belong to this copy map.
Yang Mingzhong fell into deep thought. The next moment, the cell phone in his pocket vibrated. At the same time, a vibration sound came from the trouser pocket of Hu Jiayao next to him.
"Alpaca!"
Hu Jiayao suddenly woke up, trembled all over, subconsciously clenched his fists, and looked straight ahead with vigilance.
It was empty there, there was nothing.
He looked at the people around him in confusion again, "…Why am I awake?"
Yang Mingzhong looked at him inexplicably, thinking, shouldn't you ask yourself why you fell asleep while on guard? Hu Jiayao realized the problem and said, "No, I didn't sleep just now. I was just lost in thought."
Yang Mingzhong shook his head, put down the "shuttle" that interrupted the signal, and took out his cell phone from his pocket. "There is a text message. It should be from the president."
“…President?”
Hu Jiayao was dazed. When he heard the word "President", he hurriedly took out his phone from his pocket. Sure enough, he saw a new message from the other party. There was only a simple sentence in it -
【Do your best to assist Yang Mingzhong. 】
Hu Jiayao was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
Didn't the president already tell me about this request when we parted ways? Why did he send me a message now to emphasize it again? Did the president forget that he had mentioned this before? Come to think of it, the president is so busy, he has to do it all the time, it's normal for him to forget one or two small things occasionally.
Thinking of this, Hu Jiayao turned his head to look at Yang Mingzhong and found that the other party was staring at his small black and white mobile phone screen with a gloomy face.
Something big happened?
Seeing this, Hu Jiayao's heart sank. He couldn't help but tilt his body and put his head close to the screen in Yang Mingzhong's hand to "steal" a look at the message the other party had received.
Yang Mingzhong noticed Hu Jiayao's actions, but did not avoid it - he knew very well that with Hu Jiayao's IQ, even if he saw the content of his text message, he would not know what the president wanted him to do.
Sure enough, Hu Jiayao was staring at the message on the screen, his brows furrowed into the shape of a "川" character, with a look of confusion on his face.
The message Yang Mingzhong received was a little richer than Hu Jiayao's, with two paragraphs:
[I'm afraid that the feud between you and that man cannot be resolved in this copy, so make sure to leave alive and don't seek death.]
【Go and complete your mission. It may not affect our victory, but it will be our greatest help. 】
Yang Mingzhong's fingers were tightly gripping the phone, shaking slightly. The amount of information contained in just two sentences made his face change in an instant.
Seeing this, Hu Jiayao's face became even more confused. "Old Yang, what exactly does the president mean by this? He told you not to commit suicide? You want to commit suicide?"
Yang Mingzhong did not answer Hu Jiayao. He was caught up in his inner excitement and could not calm down for a long time.
He should have realized it earlier.
He held [Thousands of Threads] in his hand. He was once the player who could use this item best in the entire game world, except for the president of the [Ghost Tamer Alliance] guild.
He had clearly seen clues from the silk threads on his fingertips.
Clearly, he himself had had some doubts when he mentioned the behavior of the [Ghost Master Alliance] guild leader on the blood donation vehicle.
However, he threw all these clues out of his mind.
He himself was blinded by revenge, which affected his own judgment. In the end, it was only with the president's reminder that he realized the crux of the problem.
The president asked him to complete his mission...
...Why? Yang Mingzhong unconsciously placed his hand on the dagger on his waist, frowning and lost in thought.
After a long time, his brows relaxed, "I understand."
"Ah? What do you understand?" Hu Jiayao had been staring at Yang Mingzhong. Seeing him suddenly relieved, he became even more confused. "Have you figured it out? Are you not going to commit suicide anymore?"
Yang Mingzhong stood up and walked towards the Life Science Institute building. "Ayao, help me find Wu Qing."
…
…
Wu Qing was not in the Life Science College building. Although it was her former base, it had been "lost" since Wei Zhe instructed Gan Tie to attack Wang Yajun's laboratory.
After the two left the Life Science College building, they searched several buildings one after another, from the cafeteria to the teaching building, from the dormitory to the gymnasium, they searched every place they could think of, but there was no trace of Wu Qing.
Yang Mingzhong's legs were not convenient, and Hu Jiayao's map scanning ability was not good enough. Finally, Yang Mingzhong found a secluded place to sit down, took out a map, and marked a few points on it: "The person is not on campus. He should be hidden by the president's female...sexual friend. According to my experience, it is very likely that he is in a hotel or restaurant near the campus. They need a place with enough space to park the blood donation vehicle, so those places in too narrow alleys can be directly eliminated. Then, the places you need to search become very few. Now, one of the places marked for you must be the destination we are looking for.
"You should search in the order I marked them. Start from the most likely place first. Pay attention to whether there are blood donation vehicles nearby. Blood donation vehicles are large targets and can be easily found even if they are covered."
Hu Jiayao listened carefully to Yang Mingzhong's instructions, then nodded solemnly, put away the map, and stood up. "Don't worry, Lao Yang, I will do my best to search, and notify you as soon as I have any news."
Hu Jiayao has very strong execution ability.
Yang Mingzhong's sensitivity in scanning maps was much higher than that of players of the same level, so it took less than an hour. After searching the second building, Hu Jiayao saw the blood donation vehicle behind the door of a couple's hotel.
Fifteen minutes later, Yang Mingzhong rushed over, and the two of them walked into the hotel together and took the elevator upstairs.
They thought they would search every room one by one, but unexpectedly, when the elevator reached the second floor and the door opened, they saw an old acquaintance -
Yoon Ji-eun appeared in the corridor, squatting at the door of a room at the end, like a guard dog.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Hu Jiayao and Yang Mingzhong walked out of the elevator one after another and looked at the door of the room that Yin Zhien was guarding. Unlike other rooms, that door was completely white, as if it was made of ice and snow.
This must be where Queen Wu Qing is hiding.
Seeing the two men approaching, Yin Zhien jumped up and looked at Yang Mingzhong and Hu Jiayao with vigilance.
Finally, her eyes fell on Yang Mingzhong's face, and Yin Zhien's round eyes narrowed. "I can feel that you are from the evil camp, right? An assassin? What do you want to do by coming here now?"
As she said that, Yoon Ji-eun took a step back and blocked the entire white door with her body. "I won't let you in. I won't allow you to mess around."
When Hu Jiayao heard Yin Zhien mention "assassin" and then "messing around", he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on and looked at Yang Mingzhong behind him in disbelief.
"Old Yang, you, you are an assassin? The so-called 'mission accomplished' in that text message means you are asked to assassinate the queen?!"
Yang Mingzhong didn't answer, which was tantamount to consent, and looked at Hu Jiayao with a look that said "You just realized it now".
"Fuck!" Hu Jiayao was annoyed. "I spent so much time running errands for you, and now I'm so rare!"
At this point, Hu Jiayao turned around angrily and immediately switched from Yang Mingzhong's camp to Yin Zhien's camp. "The president is not here now, I won't allow you to take advantage of the opportunity to mess around, Old Yang, you'd better think clearly about what you want to do!"
Yang Mingzhong's face was unusually calm. He wanted to ask, did Hu Jiayao forget what the president had told him in the text message he had just sent him, and why did he go against the president's orders so quickly?
But Yang Mingzhong looked past Hu Jiayao and glanced at Yin Zhien who was standing behind him. In the end, he swallowed his questions and chuckled.
Hu Jiayao was a little confused and didn't understand why the other party could still laugh at this time.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Yang Mingzhong moving his injured leg with difficulty, and then he simply sat down against the wall.
"I took advantage of the president's absence to mess around? If that's what you think, well, I won't go in. We'll just sit here and wait. When the president comes, I'll ask him, was it me who was messing around, or you?"
After hearing what Yang Mingzhong said, Hu Jiayao was completely stunned.
No, the tone of this person's voice was too confident and calm.
Moreover, Hu Jiayao clearly saw the text message from the president just now, which was to let Yang Mingzhong complete his mission.
Yang Mingzhong is an [Assassin], what mission can he have? Isn't his mission to assassinate the queen? Now that the main force of the loyalist camp is away, isn't this the best time to assassinate?
Could it be that the president really wants Yang Mingzhong to kill the queen?
Hu Jiayao recalled the message the president had sent him at this time, and slapped his head in fear, "Fuck!"
Is this why the president sent him an extra text message to emphasize again that he must do his best to help Yang Mingzhong?
Because what the president asked Yang Mingzhong to do was to prevent their loyal camp from winning, and what the president meant was that no matter whether what Yang Mingzhong did was just or evil, Hu Jiayao must help him without reservation.
This is not right, why is this...
Hu Jiayao felt a headache.
His brain cells, which were already insufficient, were about to be burned out by half.
What should I do? Should I help the [Assassin] kill the [Queen]?
