Chapter 106 Haunted High School (40)
Judging from Su Yue's experience playing the game so many times, Wei Wan was likely to suffer disappointment. Although the other party was an NPC, he had a high degree of favorability towards him, so he tried to persuade him.
"Why do you trust Gao Zhuo so much?" Su Yue asked, "Is it because you like him?"
"Not exactly." Wei Wan replied.
"When Gao Zhuo was framed and his award was revoked, someone came to him and told him that I was in cahoots with the rich kid who framed him," Wei Wan said. "I knew that rich kid very well, but at that time Gao Zhuo firmly believed in me."
Because you have been trusted before, you will trust the other person no matter what.
Su Yue had also had this feeling before.
When he was chosen as the partner of Cang Zhi, the main god and god of war, few gods were optimistic about their combination, and many people whispered that it would not be long before the new god would be seriously injured and his divinity would be destroyed in order to please the main god.
But Cang Zhi accepted him after testing the sword, regardless of the fact that he was just a minor god at that time and had not undergone any tests.
Su Yue always felt that his determination to move forward was due to the outstanding performance of the Lord God at that time.
It was this feeling that made Su Yue agree to Wei Wan's request.
"Okay." Su Yue said, "I will return Gao Zhuo to you."
The moment Su Yue nodded in agreement, time froze in a strange rhythm.
The sound of a black bird flapping its wings came from the horizon. This was a sound that Su Yue was already familiar with, the sound effect of starting a hidden task.
- [Trigger a hidden mission: Find Wei Wan's sweetheart. After completing the hidden mission, the game will be cleared immediately, regardless of the remaining days.]
At the same moment, all players heard the announcement of this hidden quest. The clouds on the horizon froze in that moment, and time only resumed its flow when the blackbird flapped its wings and flew away.
Wei Wan was completely unaware of the brief pause. He opened his eyes wide in surprise and rushed over to hug Su Yue: "Thank you!"
"You're welcome." Su Yue patted Wei Wan on the back.
When Wei Wan let go of Su Yue, Cang Zhi started coughing for no apparent reason. Su Yue looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I choked on the air." Cangzhi replied.
.
The hidden mission is called "Find Wei Wan's sweetheart". The word "find" is used very cleverly. Does it imply that Gao Zhuo has been devoured and lost his mind after becoming the Pen Fairy, or does it have some other meaning?
Whatever this means, it is quite obvious that we still have to start with the "Pen Fairy" line.
But this line is actually stuck, because the club activities have been forcibly cancelled after a series of deaths, and Su Yue, Cang Zhi and Wei Wan's private request for immortals yesterday actually did not get anything.
This may also mean "recover", because the pen fairy has disappeared.
Su Yue hesitated for a moment, but still took the book from the dean's hand. Although the book was covered in blood, he always felt that it was an important prop. After looking at the inside page of the cover, he actually saw the collection emblem of the school library, which meant that the book was borrowed from the library.
"Which university has this kind of book?" Su Yue frowned.
Soon, other players came to the scene after hearing about the murder. It was obvious that some of them did not want to come. After seeing the bloody and half-dead headmaster, they showed a look of surprise.
But there is no way. If we don’t get more clues, we might be the next one to be left with only half of our flesh and blood. We have to come here anyway.
When they saw Wei Wan, everyone had a strange expression. Some looked quite frightened, while others even looked a little hostile.
Su Yue could guess what they were thinking: It was clearly a copy of Pen Fairy, so why was the hidden task Wei Wan? What kind of person was this Wei Wan?
People like the big sister who have a good relationship with Su Yue came over and asked directly.
"Did you trigger the hidden mission?" asked the leader.
Su Yue: “Yeah.”
"Wow." The eldest sister raised an eyebrow, looked at Wei Wan, and asked Su Yue in a low voice, "Does the little cutie have a love line?"
Wei Wan, who didn't hear anything and was simply cueed by the big sister's gaze:?
.
Su Yue is not opposed to sharing information with players. In his opinion, players in the game are on the same side. However, the higher the game level, the more people do not think so, which makes him a little annoyed.
What's more, this time the big sister took the initiative to ally with them, and she is the kind of intelligence player they need most.
Wei Wan himself didn't object. When everyone went back to the dormitory together, he remembered this girl and she was quite friendly to him.
So Su Yue shared the information with the big sister.
The only people in this school who have anything to do with the Ouija board are the dean's book and the club's president. They flipped through the book first, and this book can be considered to complete the settings in the game.
The pages were stained with blood, and even without the blood it looked old and had a sinister air.
The book was very thin, and the first part talked about the formation and commands for summoning the Pen Fairy, which someone had carefully taken notes of.
There are folds and marker marks. It's easy to imagine that this book must have been in the hands of the president of the Summoning Immortals Society.
The following is some introduction related to the Pen Fairy.
The Pen Fairy is the soul of a person who died for some reason. It lingers in the same place for a long time and is possessed by resentment. The Pen Fairy needs to be summoned to appear in the world, but after appearing in the world, it will not obey the orders of the summoner.
"These are all known information, right?" The eldest sister frowned, having already flipped through two-thirds of the thin book.
"There is also a little information." Su Yue pointed to the last sentence.
-After appearing in the world, the Pen Fairy will not obey the orders of the person who summoned the fairy.
"This is equivalent to blocking the last possibility of 'man-made homicide'. It tells us that all the murders were done by the Pen Fairy." Su Yue said.
After hearing what Su Yue said, the big sister couldn't help but look at Wei Wan.
Wei Wan listened quietly, his face a little pale, but still calm.
The last page is the one that the dean was reading when he was dying. It is the method to destroy the pen fairy.
-If all traces of its existence are completely erased, the Pen Fairy will disappear completely.
No wonder the dean's behavior has been getting more and more crazy recently. First, he sealed off the chemistry classroom that Gao Zhuo had visited, and even imposed more restrictions on poor students, completely keeping them away from their previous life trajectory.
After Wei Wan forgot about Gao Zhuo, if Professor Hu had not appeared, perhaps all traces of Gao Zhuo's existence would have been erased.
But there is no more information in this book.
Because the subsequent discussion may involve content related to the rules of the game, Su Yue found a way to persuade Wei Wan to leave. Although Wei Wan didn't know why Su Yue did this, he trusted Su Yue wholeheartedly, so he cooperated very well and took the initiative to give up the student activity room and said he would find food for them.
After yesterday's bloody death, the student activity room, which was once bustling with activity, is now deserted.
The classroom was so big that it seemed empty. When the wind blew, the curtains lifted and cast shadows, making it feel eerie.
"It would be best to try asking the Pen Fairy again now, right?" suggested the big sister.
"I tried it yesterday, following the method taught by the president, but no one came over at all," said Su Yue.
"The wind blew at one point, but we didn't succeed in the end," Cangzhi added.
This was very abnormal, because the last time Wei Wan participated in summoning the immortals, Gao Zhuo came very quickly, but this time he refused to show up. Not only did he not show up, but he also ran to the teaching building and killed people.
"That's not so optimistic," the eldest sister said softly. "Do you understand what I mean?"
"If Gao Zhuo is truly as trustworthy as Wei Wan claims, he shouldn't have done this." Su Yue agreed with the leader. "Whether it's the brutal killing or his complete disregard for Wei Wan's summons, neither of these actions demonstrates any sanity."
"But that's also contradictory," the eldest sister said. "If he had truly lost his mind, he should have attacked the dean that night in the cafeteria. He clearly could have done that, but he didn't."
"Is it possible that he becomes rational when he is with Wei Wan?" the big sister said again.
Su Yue also thought of this possibility, but it still couldn't explain Gao Zhuo's refusal to respond to Wei Wan's call. Because if Gao Zhuo could overcome his murderous intent towards the dean in the face of Wei Wan, he shouldn't have killed the dean and ignored Wei Wan. But...
"Do you have any ideas?" The big sister suddenly asked Cang Zhi.
Cang Zhi certainly had no idea. He was a puppet, and he could only do things like resource integration. Su Yue's heart tightened when the big sister suddenly asked this question, fearing that he would be exposed.
Fortunately, Cang Zhi maintained his usual high-level artificial intelligence form and replied sincerely, "My thoughts are similar to his."
Big Sister: "Well, let's think about it."
Su Yue secretly gave Cang Zhi a thumbs up.
Cang Zhi looked upright.
