Chapter 142 Mizuki Private High School (Fourteen)
This is a school, and a well-known private high school.
Although not long ago, they saw with their own eyes an elf that killed a monster, which seemed to add a lot of fantasy color to the dull school life.
But Nanhuan has never forgotten that this is essentially a school.
A student who might come from a prominent and noble family went missing from school, which was certainly not something that Chaka would take lightly.
So Nan Huan asked about it intentionally or unintentionally. Moreover, after interacting with Chaka, it seemed that the other party had some kind of filter on her and would answer every question.
But this time, when Chaka heard this question, he just waved his hand casually, "That happened a long time ago, let's not talk about it."
After saying this, she seemed to know something and glanced at the tower clock in the distance. "Class is about to start. You must find your student cards as soon as possible. After you are officially enrolled, remember to come find me."
After saying that, Chaka returned to his bored look and was unwilling to reveal any more information.
Nan Huan seemed to want to ask more about what to write, but Bei Xi held his arm.
She understood what Bei Xi meant. They didn't have much time left, so it would be better to deal with the things at hand first. Moreover, they had already joined the Arrow Feather Society, and there would be more opportunities after they officially enrolled.
The trap has been set, and it is almost time to close it. Nan Huan turned his head and wanted to confirm with Bei Xi about the timing.
As a result, a familiar voice suddenly came to my mind.
"Miss, I heard that you have found a clue. I wonder if you would be able to share it with me."
Morpheus and some other players have already caught up with them. It is unknown where he heard the news from. "The system's task description does not specify that each student card is placed in a different location. And from the clues we found, the first side quest is also a group quest."
She stopped there and didn't say anything else, but everyone understood.
In other words, all the student cards should be placed in the same place. Now that Nan Huan has the clue, whether they are willing to share it or not, they are bound to reap the benefits.
Nan Huan and Bei Xi didn't care about their appearance at all, and it seemed like they had expected this situation to happen from the beginning.
She just looked at Ge Yuxin who was running over hurriedly. The other party nodded slightly to her, indicating that the task assigned to her had been successfully completed.
"What do you mean?"
Before Nan Huan could speak, Barbie, who had heard the noise and rushed over with her men, spoke first, "You can't find any clues yourself, so you come to ask for help. Is this your attitude?"
Although Barbie didn't know what Nan Huan and Bei Xi were planning, she really couldn't stand the faces of the rest of the people.
Many players couldn't help but lower their heads after hearing what she said. After all, they were not in the right in this matter, even though Morpheus was not wrong.
Regardless of whether Nan Huan is willing or not, as long as she wants to complete the first side quest, officially enroll in school, and find her student card, she will have to help others find their student cards as well. Although it is despicable, it is something for nothing, and no player is unwilling to take this ride.
"How shameless,"
Twelve finally figured out the whole story. He was so angry that he said rudely, "There is another way to solve this problem. We can get rid of all of you and leave our people to complete the mission."
Twelve's words were no exaggeration, and she really understood what was going on. When she spoke, her eyes were full of anger, and the whip in her hand was crackling.
If anyone present made such a boast, other players would regard it as nonsense. However, only one guild member spoke with full confidence.
So much so that the players hiding behind Morpheus couldn't help but take a step back silently when Twelve said these words.
The Assassin's Guild President had come to join in the fun, but when he saw the scene, he was startled and afraid that someone from the guild might suddenly make a move. After all, Barbie's people were helping him.
The two presidents of Guild One and Guild Two joined forces. Even though they were confident in the number of people, they did not dare to fight easily.
Morpheus didn't seem to expect that just a few short teasings would cause Twelve to react so strongly, and from her investigation, neither the first president nor the eldest lady were murderers, so when she heard the news just now, she thought it was profitable.
But if the time really comes to take action, she still has a backup plan.
"Twelve, come back."
Nan Huan smiled and waited until Twelve had finished his threats before he pretended to call the man back.
"Good boy, didn't your president teach you?"
She reached out and touched Twelve's head. She was the youngest person present and was easily affected by anger when something happened.
Twelve looked at Nan Huan, then at Bei Xi, not quite understanding what the eldest lady wanted to say when she talked about the president at this time.
"If you were walking on the road and got bit by a dog, would you also jump on it and bite it?"
Puff——
Bei Xi took the lead, and the people from Guild One and Guild Two all laughed because of Nan Huan's light words.
Morpheus' face turned red and white. He understood Nan Huan's metaphor, but he was so frustrated that he couldn't say a word.
However, Nan Huan was obviously not in a good mood at the moment. The mental exhaustion brought by the previous dungeon was infinitely magnified because of Morpheus's aggressiveness.
At Bei Xi's suggestion, she had to take back her hand from the back of Twelve's head.
He said in a nonchalant tone, "Do you know the best way to deal with those barking wild dogs?"
Twelve shook his head, feeling very happy, but with an expression of humbly asking for advice, "What's the solution?"
"Keep throwing meat and bones to them, and when they get used to it and have eaten their fill, beat them to death with a stick."
Her tone was sharp, not like she was joking at all, and it also had a bit of indifference, which made people doubt that she could really do such a thing when she was in a bad mood.
If those players were still in the mood to watch the show and wanted to take a ride, after Nan Huan said these words, they understood one thing: it is not so easy to take a ride with the eldest lady or the guild.
The time on the tower clock was ticking away. Nan Huan had no intention of speaking again, but those players felt that every minute and every second was torture.
The two sides seemed to be stuck in some strange confrontation. No one spoke, and no one knew what to do in this situation.
After an unknown amount of time, someone finally couldn't help but speak.
"Since this is a collective task, why don't we all share the clues we find and work together to find the student card? Isn't this a way to have the best of both worlds? After all, everyone's goal is to complete the side quest and officially enroll. There's no need to hurt both sides, right?"
The Assassin's Guild President watched for a long time and finally spoke.
He actually didn't want to be the peacemaker. Firstly, he wanted the totem fragments of faith. No matter how he repaired his relationship with the guild, it would not be possible for them to be so close that he would just give it up.
Secondly, Morpheus' identity is in doubt. There are too many variables in this copy. He just wants to watch the fire from the other side of the river. He is unwilling to get involved until all the information is clear.
However, these two points are based on the premise that this copy can continue normally, they complete the tasks and successfully enroll.
The current situation is that, with their own abilities, they are still confused before the limited time when the mission is about to end.
Although he didn't want to admit it, ever since Nan Huan solved the side quest of Wrath of the Elves, the assassin vaguely understood that the task of finding the student card was not simply "finding", otherwise their people would have had clues long ago.
But it is obvious that with all the various clubs involved, they are really not good at these things. But the eldest lady is different, and she and the president are extremely good at them.
In other words, this copy gave them a natural advantage, so he had to act as a peacemaker.
He didn't know if Morpheus could withstand pushing Guild One and Guild Two to a certain extent, but they couldn't. Compared to the fragments of the totem of faith, the names were definitely more important.
After all, he usually kills all enemies only when conditions allow.
After he finished speaking, he gestured to the doctor, who, although hesitant, still took out a few clues from his pocket and handed them over.
"These are the clues we just got. They are about the student who played the prank. They are his likes and dislikes, but they are not very clear. We still haven't figured out who he is?"
The assassin gave away all the clues on his side in just a few words.
The positions of the other players had been shaken by Nan Huan's words. They were probably not in a clear mind when they were instigated by Morpheus. Now that they saw the president of the Fifth Guild was so humble and submissive, why should they be so reserved?
Players kept coming out of the team to share their clues.
Nan Huan was too lazy to read those useless flyers, so he took over the work and read them one by one.
[Students who play pranks don’t like early classes.]
[Students who play pranks may like sports, but sometimes they hate physical education classes.]
[The mischievous students would leave a note every time they took the student card.]
…
Most of the content was irrelevant like this. Twelve himself was a high school student, and when he read these in a crisp voice, it was as if he was reading something written by an adolescent girl about himself.
However, although this diary seems to describe many clues, upon closer inspection, the players don’t even know whether the other party is a man or a woman.
"Miss, I've finished reading it." Twelve took the water that Liushen handed to her and gulped down a lot of it. Then he asked excitedly, "Do you know who the prankster is?"
I don't know where her intuition came from, but she always felt that the eldest lady seemed to have had an idea about the student cards since the elf's mission was completed just now, and I don't know why she did this.
Nan Huan held his chin up, took two steps back and forth, and asked her sincerely and seriously, or rather asked the players who were looking at her expectantly, "Well... why are we looking for that mischievous student?"
"What the hell are you talking about..." The players in the crowd who provided clues suddenly heard what Gao said and cursed angrily, but when they thought about who the other person was, they held the curse back.
"What are you talking about? Didn't the system say that our student cards were taken away by this mischievous student?" The person who spoke frowned and explained, "You don't have any clues at all, are you just making fun of us?"
Time is running out. If the young lady really wants to make fun of them, she should also consider herself.
Some players were still rational and were not misled by this sentence.
Nan Huan ignored this malicious accusation and asked her calmly, "What was the first prompt the system gave after the elf mission was completed just now?"
"The culprit of the prank is hiding in a club, but his student card is not in his possession."
Just these two short sentences had already been imprinted in the player's mind, and he gave an answer reflexively.
"The system already said that the student card is not on him at all. Why are we still looking for him?"
Nan Huan asked back as a matter of course, but all the players present were stunned, except for a few who knew the content.
"If it's not on him, it could be in the society he belongs to. At the very least, it must be somewhere related to him. Only by finding him can we know where he is hiding."
The player argued somewhat weakly, but his voice was filled with guilt from beginning to end.
"If he had hidden the Russian card somewhere in the club's activity area, the system's prompt should have been more obvious, rather than simply saying that it wasn't on him. So the first clue should be combined with the second clue to understand what the system wants to say."
"Looking east, can't you see the west wall?"
Some players in the crowd have been inspired by Nanhuan and are silently reciting this sentence.
"Miss, isn't this just subjective and one-sided? What can we find out after combining it with the first clue?"
Twelve couldn't wait to come over. She had wanted to ask since a while ago, but was sent away by the eldest lady and the president. Now she finally found the opportunity.
"If you look to the east, you will never see the west wall. Similarly, if the student card is not on that person, what's the point of trying to find him? Because it's wrong from the beginning."
Nan Huan did not beat around the bush this time, but gave the answer directly.
Liushen and Barbie were the only people besides Beixi and Nanhuan who understood instantly after listening to the eldest lady's explanation.
The Assassin and Morpheus followed closely behind, but most players, like Twelve, didn't quite understand. "What do you mean it was wrong from the beginning? I don't understand."
"Do you remember what you talked about with the NPCs who played your parents on the way to school?"
"ah?"
This question seemed a bit too broad, and Twelve didn't react immediately. After a moment, she thought carefully, "It seems that he didn't say anything special. He just said that Shuimu Private High School is difficult to get into, and asked me to study hard."
"It's the first day of school, and it's such a mess. According to the setting, your family should be well-off. How could they leave you alone at the school gate?"
Nan Huan knew that she didn't remember it, so he had to proceed step by step and slowly remind her.
"Oh, by the way, they did say that the life teacher would be waiting at the school gate..."
Twelve finally remembered this unimportant instruction, and then after realizing something, he stopped talking abruptly.
Nan Huan knew that she had understood. "This sentence seems unimportant, but it is very important. Since we entered the school, we have never seen this life teacher. We only heard about it vaguely in the task description and then forgot about it."
"You mean, the extra person between us is this so-called life teacher?"
The other players finally figured out what Nan Huan meant by this, and they got a vague idea from it, "Even if your guess is true, what does this have to do with the student card?"
Some people have seven holes in their hearts, while others' hearts are stuffed solid.
Seeing that Nanhuan had already talked to a lot of people, Beixi grabbed everyone and pulled them back, and pushed the job of answering their questions to Liushen.
"Do you all remember the description of the side quest to find the student card?"
The six gods were pushed out and it took them no time to respond. They just opened their mouths and spoke.
"Of course I remember. Isn't it just that we forgot our student cards, and the life teacher prepared a new one for us, but it was taken away by that mischievous student?"
The player began to recall the contents, which were pretty much the same.
Morpheus and the Assassin had no time to follow the players who didn't understand yet, and review the situation bit by bit. The two of them had already begun to look at every player in the team without any expression.
In the past, Twelve would always be anxious as he watched the president, the eldest lady, and the Sixth God say things he couldn't understand.
This time, it was others who were anxious because they couldn't understand what she was saying. She dropped a bombshell with a lot of arrogance and some disgust.
"The life teacher can help us prepare the first one, why can't he prepare another one?"
She asked calmly, her tone rising, "The system said that the student card was not in the possession of the mischievous student. What if he lost it, or it was damaged? That's why the system suggested that we were going in the wrong direction."
"From the beginning, there were two plans to get the student card. One was to find the lost one, and the other was to ask the life teacher to make a new one. And according to the hint of the system, it is obvious that we have taken the wrong path before. With so many clues, have you found the mischievous student? Is there any concrete information about the student card?"
It was the first time that Twelve acted as a question-answerer, and he did it with great style, as if he was not the one who was confused a few minutes ago. When he was answering other people's questions, he was so enthusiastic that he almost had the word "cocky" written on his forehead.
"Then why are all the clues given by the system about the prank students? There are no clues about the life teacher. It's not right just to mislead, right?"
At this point, all players have basically understood the twists and turns, but there are still some questions.
"Also, you guessed that the life teacher was the one who was among us, but there was no clue given by the system. What if your guess was wrong?"
There are always some serious players who habitually raise questions.
Before Twelve could open his mouth, Nan Huan, who was held in Bei Xi's arms, slowly took out a poster from his pocket and smoothed it out.
"Who said the system didn't have any prompts? It's so obvious, didn't you notice it?"
