Chapter 200 Mizuki Private High School (Part 72)
It was not known whether it was Nan Huan’s illusion or Chaka had recovered some fragmentary memories. Nan Huan always felt that although she had become the person he was familiar with, her every move was more confident than before.
After all, when they were in the illusion before, Chaka seemed quite guilty for shooting himself, but this time he deliberately said those words in front of Beixi.
Obviously, something very important was taken away by Yanqi, but her tone did not sound very concerned.
“Could it be something hidden inside the three-dimensional slice?”
Nan Huan told him what Yanqi had just said to him. After all, the system also said what was in the three-dimensional slice, but because the timing was not right, it could not be opened for the time being.
Bei Xi didn't say anything, but kept watching Chaka's reaction, as if judging the truthfulness of his words. When he heard Nan Huan's question, he thought for a moment before shaking his head.
"I am more inclined to believe that this thing may have been obtained or controlled by the person behind the scenes. After all, Shuimu High School has become Shuimu Private High School. So many students are trapped in the school in various ways, and there are so many monsters disguising them. This should be what the person behind the scenes really wants to do."
Chaka did not comment on this. He nodded slightly after listening to her words, as if he agreed more with Beixi's guess. Then he suddenly looked towards the distant horizon, "But what's suspicious is that those students were not killed directly. Instead, they just let the monsters become students to study? What's the purpose of this? I don't understand."
Nan Huan saw that the two were talking further and further away, so he brought the topic back to the topic, "So what did you remember? Why did you come here? It doesn't look like there are vending machines here."
She looked around and found that Chaka had brought them to a hidden low house behind the restaurant. From the outside, it looked like a long-unused tool shed and was in a shabby state.
Chaka just stopped in front of the house and looked back at Nanhuan. She was always surprisingly patient with others. "It was what Yanqi said to you just now that gave me inspiration. I should know what she likes. I really have no impression of her face, but when I first saw you at the club recruitment office, I had a strong feeling. This feeling was not based on your face."
She stroked her chin with one hand and explained to Nan Huan, "In other words, I don't think I'm so superficial that I would be deceived by Yanqi just because of her face."
This made Bei Xi unhappy. Her patience with Chaka repeatedly showing off his presence in front of Nan Huan seemed to have reached its limit. She blocked Chaka's gaze without any disguise, "Enough."
Although based on previous experience, Chaka's identity seemed to be no secret, but the previous Hels would simply appear only at critical moments, but in this copy, Chaka appeared almost at the beginning.
Bei Xi could always feel the familiarity emanating from her. The feeling was very strange, so strange that even though the other person was very similar to herself, she still couldn't stand her excessive communication with Nan Huan.
Bei Xi found it difficult to explain this because the previous Hel only appeared when he was half-conscious, but Chaka was different.
Or it was simply because, even though the other person was very similar to herself, Bei Xi still disliked her, especially when she analyzed herself like this in front of Nan Huan.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Nan Huan actually wanted to speak. She just wanted to ask what this place had to do with the strawberry milk they were looking for. She didn't expect Chaka to suddenly say this.
But at this moment, she instinctively felt that if she spoke up, it would only make Bei Xi very unhappy.
Fortunately, Chaka seemed to see her dilemma and did not continue the previous topic. Instead, he fumbled on the shabby blue-painted iron door until he touched something and heard a click.
"Yanqi said I know what she likes. It doesn't mean literally. It just happens that what I like is the same as what she likes."
As soon as she finished speaking, the seemingly inconspicuous door suddenly became high-tech. The front door panel was inserted straight into the ground, and there was no room behind it, but a real wall.
This was just a disguised tool shed, actually a trick. Just when Nan Huan was wondering.
Then I heard some movement on the ground. An old vending machine rose from the ground where the door had just been inserted.
Wow, it feels kind of cyberpunk advanced, old and advanced.
"It's not that you like the same things she likes, it's that she knows what you like, so she decided to like it too."
Bei Xi exposed her lie without hesitation. Yanqi might have made up this story just to get close to Chaka. Over time, she might have even forgotten what she really liked.
Chaka smiled, did not deny Beixi's explanation, and walked closer with the two of them.
Nan Huan then saw clearly that the vending machine was filled with strawberry milk. Chaka skillfully reached out and took out a few coins from the top, stuffed them in, took out three bottles of milk, and handed one to each of the two people.
"Try it, it should taste good?"
Nan Huan drank the milk and silently recited the answer in his mind. At the same time, he understood why the system let Chaka in.
With this method of hiding things, even if they turned the school upside down, they probably wouldn't find anything.
Bei Xi drank milk without saying anything, but was thinking about something in his mind.
Did the system send Chaka in because they couldn't find this thing, or did it want Chaka to remember something, or maybe the thing in the three-dimensional slice that Nanhuan got was the system's purpose.
Chaka seemed to be the one with the simplest mind among the three, and only occasionally his eyes would glance at Nanhuan's face.
【bite--
Congratulations to all players for completing the side quest - Treasure Hunt.
The system has been reactivated. 】
A familiar prompt sound was heard, and the prop that Nan Huan had originally held in his arms also flashed a few times.
Nan Huan saw that the players who had previously turned into tentacle monsters had returned to their normal appearance one by one.
But before everyone had time to exchange greetings, the familiar feeling of darkness came over them, and Bei Xi just happened to hold Nan Huan's hand.
Just as Nan Huan was thinking that since the system had been reactivated, it should be easier to get out of the dream, the system prompt sounded again.
【bite--
The system has been detected to be invaded by an unknown entity, and the player has violated the rules of the game. The system has activated the forced expulsion rule. Four players, including Morpheus, have been forced to be expelled from this instance. The first dream has collapsed directly, and the players have returned to the instance, and the instance content continues. 】
This is a system prompt that all players can hear.
Nan Huan was a little surprised. She thought that at most the dream was broken, or that Morpheus exceeded the restricted use of his abilities. Given her familiarity with the system, at most his abilities would be restricted. But she didn't expect that they would be expelled from the system.
And she noticed that the system said that she violated the rules of the game, and did not mention that she impersonated a player to enter the dungeon.
After all, the big show in the rest area before would not have been so smooth without the cooperation of the system.
In other words, the system and Morpheus may have some kind of cooperative relationship, but because Morpheus wanted to kill her and get the fragments of the faith totem, he did not hesitate to break through the restricted power and invade the system, making the other party feel a sense of crisis, so the cooperation was suspended and the system had to expel the other party.
But Nan Huan didn’t understand. Since the system was already omnipotent, why did it still need to cooperate with Morpheus? Was there anything that it couldn’t get on its own?
Before he could figure out the answers to these questions, Nan Huan felt his back pressed against something soft.
Although it was still dark in front of me, I could vaguely see the light outside.
Bei Xi covered her eyes with her hands, then turned on the bedroom light. They were back in the dormitory.
In less than two seconds, there was a knock on the door and a group of people rushed in.
Bei Xi looked a little unhappy. He leaned his head and looked at the group of people running over in a hurry. "Haven't you had enough today? Why are you running over here at this time instead of sleeping?"
Twelve, who was running over in the lead, was stunned for a moment, until she felt Liushen pulling her sleeve and then she came back to her senses, "President, how did we get out of that mission? How did you and Miss find the things in the end? Is it really strawberry milk?"
This question was full of pitfalls, which reminded Bei Xi of the unpleasant scenes during the mission.
But Twelve was still unaware. "And that Morpheus was expelled just like that. She is so powerful, I'm afraid she will cause trouble for us in the future. Should we take the initiative?"
Maybe it was because she had been busy all day that made her a little excited and she actually asked such a question. Even Nan Huan couldn't help but turn his head to look at her.
Bei Xi waved his hand helplessly, indicating what it was, and asked Liu Shen to take it away quickly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The other party has been expelled. How can you take the initiative? Since the system has said that the copy game will continue, we have to continue. It's still a few hours before dawn. Everyone go back and rest first. If there is anything, we can talk about it in the morning."
Liushen said this to Twelve, and indirectly to the players of Guild Two. After all, her own president had made it very clear in her eyes that their presence had affected her relationship with the eldest lady, and now that the dust had finally settled, who had the time to discuss what was going on?
As soon as Liu Shen said this, President Barbie also reacted. She also realized that something was wrong and left with her people.
Twelve realized belatedly why his president was unhappy, and tried to leave with Liushen in a hidden manner, but he bumped into someone when he opened the door.
"President Chaka, our president and the eldest lady are going to rest. They said that if there is anything, we can talk about it in the morning."
She didn't stop the person, but just explained respectfully and waited for the other person to leave.
But the other party just nodded slightly and said, "I know. I'm here to stay overnight. This is not my dormitory building. I'm too lazy to go back so late."
Ah... this...
Thinking of President Chaka's attitude towards the eldest lady during the mission, Twelve felt that it was inappropriate to let the other party stay overnight. When she was considering whether to find a reason to let the other party stay in their house, she was pulled away by Liushen.
"Then President Chaka, you can just go in by yourself, we will go and rest first."
"Why are you pulling me? It's not appropriate for her to sleep there."
"Just stay out of it and let the president handle it himself."
Liushen took Twelve's hand and brought her back to his room, telling her not to get involved in this matter or else she would get into trouble.
Two minutes later, Bei Xi pointed at another bedroom in the dormitory with an angry look on his face, "Stay there tonight, don't disturb Anan's sleep."
After saying that, without waiting for Chaka to speak, he slammed the door of his bedroom, blocking Chaka's view from looking inside.
Nan Huan half leaned on the bed, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Bei Xi hugged him and said, "Go to sleep."
"I……"
"If you don't want to sleep, let's do something else."
Bei Xi seemed to be in a bad mood tonight. Nan Huan only said one word, and her hot body pressed against him, with one hand pressing on Nan Huan's lower back.
In fact, Nan Huan didn't want to say anything else. She just noticed that Bei Xi seemed to have some unspeakable emotions towards Chaka, and wanted to ask her about it. However, Bei Xi's action made her dare not say anything, so she had to close her eyes quickly.
After entering the game in the morning, the whole day of hard work and the sudden relaxation made Nan Huan fall into a deep sleep after not holding on for long.
But she didn't sleep very deeply this time.
She was awakened by a muffled voice in the morning. Even though there was a door between them and the voices in the living room were low, there were so many people there that no one knew what was being said. There were also occasional frightening noises, so Nan Huan still woke up.
The moment she opened the door, the noise in the living room stopped for a moment and everyone's eyes turned to her.
Nan Huan originally thought that there were only players from Guild One and Guild Two, but now she saw that the living room was crowded with people sitting and standing. She roughly counted and there were more than a dozen people, almost all the players.
Bei Xi and President Barbie were sitting on the long sofa. On the sofa on the other side sat a pale-faced girl. She was in very bad condition and looked shaky. In addition, except for the players from Guild One and Guild Two, the rest of the players looked at her with resentment.
"Yang Yina, you have no evidence. We all went to the after-school tutoring together, but you were the only one who came back alive. How do you explain that?"
There was silence for a moment, and then a male player's voice suddenly emerged from the crowd, directing his words at the girl. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his words implied that it was the girl who killed the other players.
The name sounded familiar. Nan Huan paused for a moment and then remembered that she was one of the players with a relatively low ranking last night and was selected to participate in extracurricular tutoring.
After listening to the players' whispers, Nan Huan realized that she was the only one left of the four players who went out last night.
Bei Xi was obviously unhappy about being knocked on the door so early in the morning and having her sweet dream disturbed. Now seeing Nan Huan being woken up, her face was already very unhappy. She took Nan Huan's hand and pulled him to sit on the sofa.
"How did you sleep? What would you like for breakfast? I'll ask Twelve to prepare it?"
She didn't pay any attention to the player who was talking. In comparison, she cared more about Nanhuan's breakfast.
There is one benefit to returning to Shuimu Private High School. The food here is barely to Nanhuan's liking.
She asked Nan Huan very patiently, and it took her a while to list out several exquisite breakfasts and porridge dishes.
On the other side, Twelve had already made preparations very wisely.
Yang Yina did not pay attention to what the male player said just now, but kept observing the actions of the president and the eldest lady, not knowing what she was trying to confirm.
However, her silence aroused dissatisfaction among others. Two players were about to step forward when she was not prepared, but with just a look from Bei Xi, President Barbie blocked them with her hand.
"What do you mean, President Yi and President Barbie? This player survived alone and refused to reveal the content of the after-school tutoring. There must be something fishy going on. You are protecting her. Is there something fishy going on?"
When we came out of the primeval forest yesterday, there were only twenty-five players left.
After one night, three players were killed in the after-school tutoring, and the four players brought by Morpheus were expelled from the game. The three players brought by the Assassin's President also died at the hands of a guild. Now there are only fifteen players left.
There were eight players from Guild One and Guild Two, leaving only six people except Yang Yina.
Morpheus has been expelled, and the current situation is very clear. Guild One and Guild Two have once again become the weather vanes and stable pillars.
The remaining six players had targeted them to varying degrees before. If they wanted to reconcile, they naturally had to show some sincerity. As a result, Yang Yina, who happened to be going out in the morning, was targeted.
Their original intention was to get information from Yang Yina about what happened during the after-school tutoring and then take credit for it to the guild, but they didn't expect Yang Yina to be so tight-lipped, so they had to bring the person over and explain their intentions.
They thought that with the strength of the two guilds, it would not be difficult to get some information from each other, but they did not expect that President Yi and President Barbie not only had no intention of participating, but also stopped them from taking action. They immediately felt that there might be something fishy going on, so they were not so respectful in their words.
Bei Xi didn't need to say such words, Liu Shen beside him naturally did it for him.
"What might the players have misunderstood?" Liushen smiled and looked at the remaining players.
"Our guilds 1 and 2 are both ranked high, so after-school tutoring is not something we would need. So what after-school tutoring is has little to do with us, and we don't care. So it's up to this player to say it or not."
She slowly uttered words that were quite devastating to the other players, but her tone was light and casual, as if she was not worried.
Nan Huan silently gave her a thumbs up in his heart. This girl was pretending to be so classy.
"Since it has nothing to do with you, why are you stopping us from taking action?"
The player's face turned pale and red. Only then did she realize that their pledge of allegiance did not seem to suit the president's taste, so she simply pointed it out.
"Our guild leader doesn't like those shady things. You guys are bullying the weak with your numbers and killing each other. This guy will be protected by our guild. I don't need to explain this anymore, right?"
This kind of thing is very familiar to Liushen. In a room, the players from Guild One and Guild Two not only have an advantage in numbers, but also have a far greater force value.
So after Liu Shen's words came out, the living room became quiet again.
