"Hearing you say that makes me feel like I've missed out on so much..."
Mingmei opened a bottle of soda she had brought back from the convenience store, poured it into a cup, inserted a straw, and listened to Mu Chen talk about what happened at school that morning. She felt that there was a lot of information to tell him.
Even though they had heard Bai Xiao's story about the role played by Qi Haikui a couple of days ago, they had a vague feeling that the story was more than that.
However, due to Bai Xiao's character and identity, they were destined not to obtain very accurate information, and they had no way of knowing the truth.
The main problem is that I haven't met many people who know about this.
Now, Mu Chen has seen it, but he also gained an unexpected bonus.
"What did you hear from... Nanagi?"
"No." At this point, Mu Chen's face became slightly serious as he looked up at Mingmei, "Meimei."
"Um?"
"In the end, don't trust anyone in this game."
"Including you?"
Mingmei tilted her head. Although she didn't understand what Mu Chen meant by those words, she knew that Mu Chen must have discovered something extraordinary.
"No." When Mu Chen heard Ming Mei ask if he could trust her, he chuckled, then confidently said, "Don't trust anyone except me."
"Did something happen?" Mingmei nodded in agreement and finally asked what Mu Chen meant by suddenly saying that.
Mu Chen first asked, "Where is Yuan Fang?"
"He said he wasn't feeling well and went home when I came back from delivering food today."
"Um."
To prevent anyone from coming in, Mu Chen turned around and closed the shop door again, locking it tightly before daring to tell Mingmei what he had discovered.
"In this game, the BOSS's will is constantly eroding the vast majority of NPCs, including some of the roles we play."
How did you find out?
Upon hearing Mu Chen's statement, Mingmei's expression changed slightly. She recalled that when they were exchanging messages among themselves, they had also mentioned that the characters they were playing were somewhat uncontrollable.
She originally thought that the world was distorted and that the characters' data had a stronger consciousness than in ordinary games, but Mu Chen said that these anomalies actually came from the BOSS.
"Today, while I was helping out in the cafeteria, I clearly saw the interaction between Nanami and Lu Xiaoyao. Although Lu Xiaoyao is sometimes a bit slow-witted, her strong sense of justice is commendable."
"I think you should refrain from saying the first part of your comment."
When Mingmei thought of Mu Chen's disdainful look towards Lu Xiaoyao, and then of Lu Xiaoyao's smug little expression when her fans praised her for playing games, she couldn't help but sigh like a proud mother, "My little one is so great!"
How could a child always be stupid?
"Lu Xiaoyao probably knows what happened, but her gaze was too direct, and Qi Haikui saw through it."
Mu Chen couldn't help but sigh as he spoke. He still remembered the complex look in Qi Haikui's eyes when she looked at Lu Xiaoyao.
A gaze that wants to destroy the other person.
Are you telling the truth?
Mingmei's eyes widened. They were all classmates and had no conflicts. If Qi Haikui really looked at Lu Xiaoyao with that kind of gaze, it could only mean that the gaze didn't belong to him, but to Danny.
"Today, I tried to find him later, but he avoided me." After saying that, Mu Chen brought up another unusual thing.
Nanami has started avoiding her classmates; she seems unwilling to exchange information with them.
This was already unusual, and considering what Mu Chen had said earlier, it was even worse.
"With someone like Qi Haikui around, do you think Li Yuan, who will help Qi Haikui handle this matter, is far away?"
Mingmei's heart was in turmoil after Mu Chen asked her that question.
"Students can't leave the school campus, but the dean of students can't. Nanami hasn't been here these past few days either."
If Mu Chen's observations and discoveries are correct, then it is indeed a very frightening fact.
...
"Wow, this is really tricky!"
The law enforcement officers, unable to approach Mona due to their own circumstances, can now only serve as intelligence advisors to Mingmei and Muchen.
Therefore, they would go to him whenever they needed something.
With this frequency of searching for people, law enforcement officers really want to say—don't eat spicy hot pot every night after your evening walk!
"What you've said about the impact on players... is indeed largely due to the BOSS's will," the enforcer said. "The more significant a character's role is in her script, the more they are controlled and influenced by her."
Why didn't you say so before?
Mingmei frowned, thinking that this law enforcement officer was a complete liar. Why didn't he tell her about something so important beforehand?
"Could it be that all the NPCs in this world are influenced by her will?"
Mu Chen asked another question, which made the law enforcement officer look at him more closely. He smiled and said, "Of course not. She only wants to influence what she wants to influence, and she only wants to see what she wants to see."
"So, if some of us are influenced by the boss's will, will they betray us and expose the other players?" Mingmei already regretted that if she had known this would happen, it would have been better if everyone hadn't shared information with each other!
"Won't."
Mingmei was worried that her classmates would be stabbed, but the law enforcement officers shook their heads and told them to rest assured, "As long as everything happens according to Mona's wishes, she won't care who helps her."
Ultimately, it's because of her personality that the Zerg, although cooperating with her, won't stay here.
After all, Mona doesn't have much humanity to begin with; she does whatever she wants, and it's not impossible for her to cooperate with the Zerg one day and then turn around and kill them the next.
"However, it still let Mona know his whereabouts."
"Who said it told us its whereabouts on its own initiative?" The law enforcement officer smiled brightly. He had little experience and rarely saw this kind of behavior where cooperation was followed by each party secretly plotting against each other.
Mu Chen expressed his dissatisfaction with the law enforcement officers' suggestive behavior.
"No one needs to live in a world of intrigue and conspiracy every day."
Mu Chen couldn't help but retort, looking at the law enforcer with a hint of mockery on his lips.
If the law enforcement officer had never done anything wrong before, and had obviously failed, he wouldn't be here. How could he be telling Mingmei to learn more about those conspiracies and tricks in front of him? Does he really think Mingmei is invisible?
“Yes, nobody needs to live in intrigue every day…” the enforcer chuckled, his gaze lingering on Mu Chen as he added, “After all, someone else is helping you live in this world of intrigue…”
As she spoke, Mingmei followed the enforcer's gaze and looked at Mu Chen. Mu Chen still smiled warmly at Mingmei, but his eyes turned slightly cold when he met the enforcer's gaze.
Watching the person opposite him move their lips, silently expressing their mockery: "Likewise~"
