Chapter 182 Emergency [Please open the door and handle the emergency in time...
"I never thought I'd see you again in school. Is there anything wrong, Cecia?"
"Ah, could it be because of Senior X and Senior Y's matter..."
Caught off guard by the other party's excitement, Cecia scratched her head in confusion.
I thought that the murderer's life experience could be found on the Internet, and he should be a well-known figure, so I could find out some information about him in the school.
However, she seems to be more famous than the murderer.
What happened next became out of control. As more people recognized her, she was gradually surrounded by students, who wanted to take photos with her and spoke incomprehensible terms.
Surrounded by noisy voices, her words could not be conveyed at all.
Cecilia sighed, feeling like she was being squeezed in the middle for a long time like dough.
If this goes on, she won't get any information.
She grabbed a hapless guy as a substitute and barely escaped from the encirclement, and got into the corner with the girl she met at the beginning.
"From now on, I ask questions and you answer them."
Using the power of the [Word Speaker], she finally managed to get some useful information.
According to the other party, she and the murderer were both extremely talented in scientific research and were well-known during their school years. They had a good relationship and naturally formed a project team.
As for the deceased, he was just an ordinary and unknown student before joining the project team. Everyone thought that he was just here to take advantage of the results and did not think he could make any contribution.
Sure enough, the project team of three of them was a great success, and the murderer and the deceased went abroad to study. But she, who was considered the biggest contributor, has never been heard from since.
Many people were worried that she might have had an accident, but there was no way to find out any news about her, and the two people in the same project team also kept silent about it.
At this point, she completely faded out of people's sight.
It’s very strange... If it’s true as the other party said, then there is no deep hatred between them, so how could it come to the point of murder?
Cecia covered her face and walked towards the laboratory, examining items along the way.
【You picked the ordinary leaves.】
【You picked up an ordinary school bag. 】
【……】
All items on the road are displayed as "normal", even the strange statue in the center of the campus.
After all, what are the standards for ordinary and extraordinary?
Even something obviously unusual like a murder photo is considered ordinary by the system, which shows that its judgment criteria are different from those of the secular world.
Was there some clue she hadn't noticed?
According to the girl's description, she walked all the way to a factory building far away from the teaching building.
It is said that this was the laboratory where they used to work on their projects. It was donated by the murderer's father and only the three of them had the right to use it.
After they graduated, the school did not dare to use them privately, and everything remained the same as before.
There were weeds growing all around the factory building, and the iron chains hanging on them were rusty. It looked like no one had been there for a long time.
So the problem is, she didn't have the key.
She was bored at home and searched almost every corner of the room, and found the key hidden in the secret compartment of the bookshelf.
However, the thing is still lying in the secret compartment and she doesn't have it with her.
After staring at the old iron door for two seconds, she secretly took out an axe and planned to break it open violently.
"Hey! Who's that person over there?"
The sudden shout startled her, and she quickly put the axe back into the system backpack.
She turned around and smiled harmlessly.
"You are a student, leave quickly and do what you need to do!"
The old man dressed as a security guard waved his hand and drove her away impatiently, "This place has been abandoned for many years. The leaders don't allow students to use it. Hurry up and leave!"
It seems that older people don't know her. Her fame in the copy is limited to young students.
At the urging of the security guard, Cecilia moved slowly, with a conflicting feeling in her mind.
Should I just leave like this, or knock the opponent out and force my way out?
There is not much time left to go out today, and I am not sure if I can find what I want. If I force my way out, it may attract the attention of the school, and it will be difficult to come back tomorrow...
Anyway, she has the key at home and she still has time, so let's talk about it tomorrow.
Having made up her mind, she didn't argue any further and quickly left the factory, covering her face as she continued to wander around the campus.
Perhaps because her appearance caused a sensation, many students were discussing things related to them.
Cecilia mingled with the crowd and collected a lot of information.
Some students believe that she appeared to mourn the murderer and the deceased, both of whom died on the same day, leaving her the only one left alive in the project team.
Some people also claimed that the two people who died were in a romantic relationship, but the murderer came from a wealthy family, while the deceased was from an ordinary family, which was not recognized and led to the two committing suicide together...
But as a witness to the whole process, she didn't feel that it was an atmosphere of suicide for love.
At ten o'clock, she was forcibly sent back home and reappeared in the entrance hall.
Everything in the room remained the same as it was before she went out. Cecilia took out the key from the secret compartment and put it into the system backpack.
Before she had time to sort out anything, a familiar feeling of sleepiness invaded her brain. She lay down on the bed and obediently closed her eyes.
…
The surrounding environment has not changed much, the gloomy forest, the dark and sticky river, and the dilapidated wooden bridge.
But the original air wall is gone.
Now the air wall was pressed tightly against her body, fixing her at the spot where the photo was taken, unable to move at all.
He twisted his head bit by bit with difficulty. This time he could see the dark monster directly without looking for it.
They were very close to each other, estimated to be less than five meters apart.
……wrong!
According to her previous calculations, the monster's movement speed could not be so fast. Could it be the interference of pollution and evil thoughts?
She couldn't move her limbs, only her head could turn left and right. She couldn't do anything except think.
The current situation confirmed her thoughts. The monster was getting closer to her and she could not avoid it by force or escape.
When she is touched by a monster, she will rot and die like those corroded plants.
At the original speed, she still had five days left, but now it seemed that she only had two days left at most.
If she fails to find the special item within two days, she faces death.
Eight o'clock in the morning.
Cecilia woke up on time. This time she did not delay for a moment. After confirming that the key had been put into the system backpack, she walked to the entrance and planned to go to school.
[Apply to move to the location "XX University", the move failed, please open the door and deal with the emergency in time. 】
Open the door?
Isn't this door just for decoration?
The emergency didn't sound like a good thing, but she couldn't go out without dealing with it, and there was no time to waste...
Hearing this request for the first time, she cautiously adjusted the system page to her backpack to ensure that she could take out the axe at any time.
Boom boom boom.
There was a polite knock on the door.
She paused for a moment and slowly opened the door.
"Hello, is this Ms. Cecia?"
Standing outside the door were two tall adult women in uniform, holding their ID cards and showing them to her.
"This is my police ID. Do you know Mr. X and Ms. Y?"
The names of the murderer and the deceased...how did they find her?
She took a step back calmly, a formal look of confusion on her face.
"I know them. They are my college classmates. We have worked on a project together. What can I do for you?"
"It is like this. The two went to the resort together on April 15 and died on the same day. Their bodies were found one after another."
The police officer spoke in a steady tone, looking at Cecia with sharp eyes.
"After police investigation, it was found that you were in the same resort as them at the same time. Your reservation was from April 13 to April 18, but you hastily checked out on April 15 and booked a ticket for the same day to rush back home."
"According to the front desk, you looked so flustered that you even forgot to pick up your suitcase. You didn't come back to pick it up when I called you. You just told the front desk to take care of it..."
"Excuse me, what made you end your trip early?"
Damn it.
Although there was no emotion on her face, she had cursed the system eight hundred times in her heart.
Who designed this copy?
It's fine that the key plot forces her to control her body, but she also behaves so stupidly, as if she is afraid that others don't know that she is related to the murder case! !
She has no memory of returning home, but from the police's description, it was almost as if the words "Come and catch me" were pasted on her face!
"…because I'm not feeling well."
While making lame excuses, she desperately thought of countermeasures in her mind.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
The police officer repeated her words and continued to ask delicately: "Why did you suddenly go to XX University yesterday? I heard that you haven't appeared in the public eye for a long time."
"...I saw in the news yesterday that X and Y died in an accident. It reminded me of the time when we worked on a project together at school, so I wanted to go to school to take a look."
She expressed her sadness and nostalgia in just the right way, but deep down she was thanking the students for the inspiration they had given her yesterday.
"Okay, we already know the general situation."
The police officer closed his notebook and moved aside to make some space.
"Since this incident involves many things, there are still details that need to be investigated. Please cooperate with the police and come with us."
The other party's words were very polite, but his attitude was firm and would not refrain from rejection.
Cecia didn't want to cause trouble, let alone a commotion, but time was running out and she didn't have time to accompany the police in their investigation...
Moreover, judging from the other party's remarks just now, her suspicion is incredibly high. It would be strange if the police could let her go easily. I'm afraid they will detain her in the police station.
By then, it’s hard to say whether you can return home within the time limit.
If it didn't work, she would die in her sleep after two days in the police station.
So, you must never go with them!
But you can't directly harm the police.
Unlike the previous copy, the background this time is a society ruled by law. If there is an incident of injury or murder, especially when the target is the police, she can't expect to go to school safely.
Giving up the idea of taking out the axe, Cecia hesitated for a moment and took out the hardworking [Word Speaker].
I have to say, when force cannot solve the problem, the [Word Trumpet] is extremely useful.
She altered the memories of two police officers, making them think that she was not at home and would be back the next day. But it was uncertain how long the altered memories would last.
Seeing the other party drive away, she turned around and pushed the door——
[It is detected that the emergency event has been completed. Do the player want to move to the location "home"? 】
[Note: There is only one chance to go out every day. The player has used it today and can now move freely outside.]
Wait, does this mean that she should go to school by herself?
But she doesn’t know the way!!
