Chapter 196 Mizuki Private High School (Sixty-eight)
When Bei Xi, a guild of players and Cha Ka rushed to the corner of the school playground, the situation was on the verge of getting out of control.
At first, Nan Huan didn't understand why Uriel took the people from Guild 2 to hide in this hard-to-find corner. It didn't even look like there were any vending machines around here. Until she saw the tentacles exposed from the surging bushes, and the next second it broke free from the control of the players from Guild 2 and attacked Nan Huan.
Chaka didn't react for a moment, and took out an arrow and was about to shoot, but was held down by Beixi, "It's President Barbie."
She explained in a low voice, and hit the opponent's attacking tentacle with the iron pick, controlling the force to make the opponent retreat without hurting him.
Uriel finally reacted and pulled off a piece of black object from her mechanical right hand, and tied up the other party before the tentacles could react.
Originally, they decided not to take such extreme measures because President Barbie still had some residual consciousness. However, they didn't expect that the next second, President Barbie would stop responding to them and even wanted to attack the eldest lady.
The tentacle monster was the same as Yanqi who was in the rest area before, except that its body was much smaller. After being tied up, it still struggled and even used its body to bang against the wall in an attempt to break free from control.
Mocha Meng and the professor were worried that President Barbie would be injured, so they quickly took out the inflatable shackles from the control panel and fixed the tentacle monster in a small area to prevent her from hurting herself.
The noise finally died down a bit, and Bei Xi asked about the situation.
"What's going on?"
The players from Guild Two all looked a little dejected. It seemed that what had just happened was quite a blow to them.
Uriel wiped his face and quickly calmed down. "After we separated, we were looking for a vending machine on campus, but we searched almost every corner of the school and couldn't find one. There is a convenience store on campus, but it doesn't have strawberry milk, so we thought about asking other classmates, and then..."
Uriel paused and looked at the bound President Barbie, who could no longer be seen. "Then President Barbie felt something was wrong with her body, so we wanted to reunite with you guys. But she suddenly lost consciousness and became like this. And then you guys came."
Her face looked a little bad because she had used a skill.
"How long did it take for President Barbie to realize something was wrong with her and become like this?"
The noise nearby became quieter. The monster that President Barbie transformed into seemed to have finally realized, after a long struggle, that it was difficult to break free by its own strength alone, and it reluctantly entered a short rest period.
Bei Xi walked around the other person and observed for a moment. After confirming that he saw that President Barbie had no desire to eat, he spoke.
"It's not even in the middle of the front and back."
Moka Meng finally recovered, supported herself by the wall and stood up. After thinking for a while, she gave an affirmative answer, "And the time from consciousness to unconsciousness was even shorter, so we didn't have time to react at all."
There was regret in her tone as she lamented her slow reaction.
But the others looked unhappy because of her answer.
"Chairman Yi, it seems that what President Chaka said was right. Turning into a monster is not simply a system targeting you, but a part of this mission. It is because of your strong ability that you can sense it in advance and control yourself, and we..."
Now that President Barbie has become like this, Uriel has naturally become the backbone of the Second Guild. She has to think about what to do next. At the same time, they are faced with another problem.
She had no choice but to bring it up and discuss it with the president.
"We may have all gradually evolved into this state, but we just haven't felt it yet. Even President Barbie has mutated in such a short time. So, except for President Yi, President Chaka, and Miss, the rest of us may have evolved in a shorter time than President Barbie."
In fact, she was not sure whether the eldest lady's ability was stronger than theirs. After all, the eldest lady's personal skills seemed very special. If they were simply compared in terms of combat power and physical strength, the eldest lady should not be considered their opponent. However, the opponent's mysterious personal skills could deal with them all in an instant.
So she temporarily put the eldest lady and the president into the same area.
Moka Meng and Twelve didn't understand what Uriel meant at first, until she looked around and said, "In other words, we have become a potential threat, like a bomb that can explode at any time, so we have to have a pre-emptive plan."
Bei Xi, however, maintained his previous expression and was not at all panicked by Uriel's disclosure of this fact. Instead, he asked about another matter.
"Any other valuable clues about strawberry milk and vending machines?"
"ah?"
Uriel didn't react at once. He didn't know why the president suddenly changed the subject when the situation was so urgent.
It was the eldest lady who kindly reminded, "While everyone is still sober, let's first tell each other what we have learned, so as to facilitate our next plan and arrangement."
Then Nan Huan told the players of Guild Two all the gossip they had just heard in the restaurant.
"The information we got here is similar," Mocha Meng spread his hands, "The vending machines were removed after a new school director was appointed. They said it didn't fit the school's future temperament as a private high school. But it's even more strange that a normal school's convenience store doesn't have a drink like strawberry milk, right? I'm increasingly thinking that this should be the correct answer, but the question is where are we going to find this thing?"
Mocha Meng rubbed her face. No matter what she was experiencing or what news she knew, it always gave her a very magical illusion.
After all, she never thought that one day she would be worried about not being able to find a can of milk in a copy.
"It really is strawberry milk?" Twelve showed an indescribable expression, "If the answer is really this, then it means that this thing must be hidden in this school. We can still look for it separately, after all, there is no time limit for this task, but now... we don't have enough manpower, it will be bad if everyone loses their minds later, right?"
I don’t dare to think too deeply about this matter, because after reaching a certain extreme point, everyone will lose their mind and won’t remember the content of the mission. How can they complete the mission and get out of here?
Twelve's words gave him goosebumps. Seeing that the morale of the players was a little affected by Twelve, Bei Xi knocked one of them on the head.
"Just shut up and stop spreading alarmist talk. The extreme situation you're worried about won't happen."
In fact, Bei Xi is very thoughtful. In the past, she would not explain in such detail to the people in her own guild, but now she can feel the emotions of the players in the second guild. After all, her own president has become like that now.
Seeing that the players from Guild Two had something called hope in their eyes because of her words, she had to turn around and point at Chaka and explain, "Because she shouldn't end up like us. To be more precise, the factory settings of President Chaka and us when we entered this mission are different."
I don't know if it was the reassurance from the first guild leader that put the players of the second guild at ease, or if everyone's rationality returned a little. After all, they were players who had seen many storms, and in the past they had the guild leader to protect them from the wind and rain. Now that the guild leader has become like this, they can't just retreat and need to cheer up.
So I just stared at him for a while with my cute round eyes, not understanding and asking for an explanation.
The young lady was amused by their similar looks and cute expressions. "Actually, something Vice President Uriel said just now was not quite right."
Nan Huan stretched out a finger and waved it in the air, then turned to look at the other person, "You got one thing wrong. We are not 'turned into monsters', but isn't there a possibility that, in the setting of this mission, we are monsters ourselves?"
Normally, in a copy, the player's character setting is the protagonist's role. Unless there is a confrontation between two parties, the protagonist basically stands on the side of justice or holds universal values.
In this mission, the students and teachers of Mizuki High School who have not yet become Mizuki Private High School should play this role, or in other words, usually, they should be the ones to complete the mission.
But in this mission, it seems to be the other way around.
"Everyone knows the news we just inquired about," Nan Huan saw the surprise on the faces of other players, raised his lip, and continued to add, "Not only us, but even the students of Shuimu High School are also wondering why we, the exchange students, were chosen at this time? What's the significance?"
"But what if the person behind the plan to take over Shuimu High School doesn't want the students from the experimental class at all?"
When Twelve heard this, he was so surprised that his mouth could fit an egg.
Nan Huan continued to persuade Twelve and even helped him lift his chin up. "Think about what Shuimu Private High School in the dungeon looks like now, and what the monster that attacked us in the dormitory not long ago looked like?"
When Nan Huan said this, Twelve finally clapped his hands as if something had dawned on him.
"I understand now. In this mission, we are not so-called exchange students at all. We are monsters that invaded this school. It's not that we have become monsters, but that we are monsters."
Nan Huan nodded in satisfaction. "The transformation should not be sudden. As the invaders and vanguard of this school, I guess we are here with some kind of mission. Judging from the changes in President Yi's body and the attacks after President Barbie turned into a monster, I think this mission should be related to attacking ordinary students. And referring to the situation in the dungeon, this kind of attack will not bring good results."
