141.
"I can't help you in the first place, why are you still arguing?" Yue Xiaoyan was puzzled and decisively interrupted their meaningless quarrel.
On the side, Ji Fengfeng discussed with System 2195 how to restore the player's abilities. Finally, after 2195's helpless reply, he gave up struggling.
"2195 said they became normal people because their player system was blocked. If we want them to regain their abilities, we need to restore the system."
Lu Cai tilted his head: "Are the properties of the system and 2195 the same?"
Ji Fengfeng was puzzled: "It was indeed a player system before 2195, but now it's a bit unexpected..."
[2195: My base code hasn't changed. If she could see the system properties... I'm probably the same as other systems.]
"He said that the basic code of his system is similar to that of other players, and the attributes are probably the same..." Ji Fengfeng explained uncertainly.
Lu Cai nodded, then looked towards the laboratory building. "Over there, there's a large amount of data, just like in 2195."
Ji Fengfeng was shocked: "What?"
[2195: Let me see!]
It scanned quickly and analyzed carefully, but did not capture any trace of the player's system.
[2195: Why can’t I analyze it?]
[Ji Fengfeng: Admit that you're not as skilled as others. You can't even analyze Lu Cai's identity.]
2195 could only remain introverted and admit that Lu Cai was a higher level than himself.
"The player system might be trapped over there. I'll go check it out. You guys wait here for news." After Lu Cai finished speaking, the others disagreed.
Yue Xiaoyan reacted the fastest: "How can we let you go alone? We're holding you back, at least take Ji Fengfeng with you!"
Although Ji Fengfeng had this thought, after being interrupted, he couldn't help but say, "Thank you so much."
"I'm risking my life, so the rear team should at least guarantee the safety of my family, right?" Lu Cai gestured to Gu Mengshu and Lu Jue.
Gu Mengshu was looking at the phone in her hand, and at this moment she looked up: "Your father sent a message. He asked us to wait in the dormitory. The rescue team is on the way..."
Lu Cai pondered: "When will it arrive?"
"The earliest will be 7 a.m. tomorrow." There was joy in Gu Mengshu's eyes. She knew that the authorities would send people to rescue!
It's almost midnight now, and there are still about seven hours left, which is plenty of time to explore the laboratory building.
"Mom, I have to go to the laboratory building." Lu Cai sighed and finally said it.
Gu Mengshu was stunned where she was, because Lu Cai seldom called her "Mom". She was used to hearing him address her as "Doctor Gu", "Teacher Gu", and the half-joking, half-complimentary "Mr. Miracle Doctor".
They are mother and daughter, but their relationship is like that of friends.
But at this moment, Lu Cai stood in front of her with a serious expression and called her "Mom." His voice was gentle, like a feather brushing against her heart.
All the shock, confusion, worry and fear subsided, and it seemed as if everything was far away from her and she could no longer hold on to it.
"Why do you have to go there?" Gu Mengshu tried to calm down, but her trembling voice betrayed her thoughts.
Lu Cai's eyes were calm: "I have to go."
Not just to help the player who lost the system, not even because there is a secret that can help her clear the dungeon and leave, but...
She had this intuition that there must be something about her hidden there.
Lu Cai was already deeply trapped in the fog. She was hoping to grasp the only remaining ray of light before her eyes and find a way to break through the fog.
Although I clearly don't remember anything, I can realize that I am looking for something, and it is something very important.
Gu Mengshu showed a sad expression, which made Lu Cai startled unconsciously.
It shouldn't be like this. She didn't know what was wrong, but she always felt that this expression was very incompatible with Gu Mengshu.
"If you have made up your mind, just do it." Gu Mengshu smiled.
She couldn't stop it, so she could only agree.
The people watching on the side didn't dare to breathe a word, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Gu Mengshu agreed with Lu Cai's idea.
Lu Cai’s mother really trusts her, Yue Xiaoyan muttered to herself.
After a few people sat together to discuss what was going to happen next, Lu Cai left the building alone. Everyone watched her walk further and further away on the campus path. As her figure gradually became blurred, they withdrew their gaze and planned to go back upstairs.
"Where is the security guard?" Shi Rukui was the first to discover that someone was missing.
Due to his physical condition, Lu Xiaoliu has a very low presence, so few people notice him.
"He should go find Lu Cai." Lu Jue replied with a stiff face.
Zhao Yan frowned: "If he follows, won't he just cause more trouble..."
"He's really strange, actually. He's quite good-looking, with a pair of red eyes and a scar on his face that should be very noticeable. Why do I always forget about him?" Yue Xiaoyan whispered.
Ji Fengfeng on the side heard 2195's explanation.
[2195: This is the main system's design for the scavenger. He doesn't even have the ability to hide among the crowd, so how can he complete the capture mission?]
[2195: When I was a player system, I was not allowed to notify players when I detected nearby scavenger data.]
[Ji Fengfeng: Alas, it turns out you are still little traitors.]
——
The journey from the dormitory area to the laboratory building was smooth and trouble-free.
Lu Cai stood at the door of the experimental building and turned to look behind him. The courtyard and the path were empty.
She sighed: "Be careful."
She was clearly being followed, and she wasn't very familiar with Lu Xiaoliu, but she didn't feel the slightest bit of disgust.
Ignoring the little tail behind him, Lu Cai stepped into the building.
The moment he entered the door, the aura around him changed, and the data mixed in the air rushed around in the turbulence.
The red rope on her wrist felt slightly warm, giving Lu Cai some confidence. She walked softly down the corridor. The computer classroom was on the third floor, and she tried not to disturb anything strange before entering.
As the thin figure disappeared into the doorway, a thin black mist appeared in the air above the corridor. Within the mist was an orange-yellow ball of data.
The orange data arrangement jumped out of the surface of the light ball, showing its excitement.
......
He went up to the third floor safely. The surroundings were so quiet that it made people uneasy. A slight cool breeze could make Lu Cai's scalp stand on end.
She took two steps and saw a person lying in the dim corridor. Without looking closely, Lu Cai recognized the person as Gu Xici, the computer teacher.
She quickened her pace and walked forward, squatted down and reached out to check, and found that he was still alive.
Lu Cai did not relax. He frowned and looked around vigilantly, but there was still no movement.
At this moment, the cell phone that Gu Xici was holding tightly in his hand lit up.
Lu Cai dodged to the side. Such sudden changes always concealed danger. As she did so, she saw Gu Xici's eyelids twitch.
He woke up and struggled to turn on his phone, a faint light in his eyes. He looked at Lu Cai, his lips moving, but no words came out.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Cai slowly approached, met his gaze, and then raised his hand to pull out his cell phone.
Gu Xici breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes and fainted again.
Cai Lu opened the phone and saw a WeChat chat box. The text at the top said "File Transfer Assistant" and contained several voice messages from Gu Xici.
Scroll to the first audio file on the interface and click to open it.
——"I, Gu Xici, am a player of the KB game... I was originally in a cultivation dungeon, but before I could find the dungeon quest, I fell into this world."
"It's very strange here. I lost my memory for a long time. Until tonight, after evening study, I saw the Nightmare... I remembered that the Nightmare was the monster from the previous Immortal Cultivation dungeon, and then my memory slowly came back... With the memories I'd recovered, I discovered that several players I knew had also lost their memories and were trapped here..."
"...find the computer room...the fundamental basis of KB games...is computer data...computers...are channels...and also cages..."
——"Find Lao Ke... He knows the secret of the main system... He... He doesn't have amnesia..."
The sound of the recording at both ends gradually weakens, so it must have been recorded not long ago.
And Lao Ke? Cai Lu remembered that this man was also a school security guard. He had a good temper, was meticulous in his work, and liked to take Lu Xiaoliu out for a walk.
Is he a player too?
Of course, the most important thing is the computer room.
Lu Cai looked up and saw the door to the nearby computer room wide open. It was quiet and silent. From her angle, she couldn't see inside, so she could only shift slightly.
There's nothing inside.
It really looked like a trap, and she had no choice but to rush in. Having come this far, Lu Cai couldn't afford to retreat.
She looked behind her, but still saw no trace of Lu Xiaoliu.
After calming down, Lu Cai took a breath, then stood up and walked towards the computer room.
It was quiet inside, nothing seemed out of place. If there was one thing that was unusual, it would probably be the computer on the podium, which was left fully turned on.
Cai Lu carefully looked around and then walked step by step to the podium. A data window that she couldn't understand was jumping on the computer screen.
When she walked to the front of the computer, the data window jumped twice, the screen went dark, and then all the computers in the computer room turned on automatically.
The buzzing sound when it starts up gives me a headache.
Lu Cai's whole body was tense. Once she realized something was wrong, she would definitely run away.
"Hello, Lu Cai."
The young man's voice emanated from the speakers on the podium, full of eager curiosity. A dark silhouette of a man appeared on the computer screen.
Lu Cai was silent for a while, and finally said: "Do you recognize me?"
"I've met him a few times." The man smiled faintly.
"Did you block the players' systems?" Cai Lu continued to ask, his eyes still scanning the computer room.
"I'm sorry, those annoying little beasts weren't supposed to be part of the original plan."
Lu Cai's expression was calm: "So what was the original plan like here?"
"This is a happy world." The man seemed to be immersed in it. "Everyone can live the life they want. Parents love their children with all their heart. Children study hard. Teachers take care of their students... This is a perfect life."
Lu Cai's eyes flashed: "Does it also include parents not favoring their own children?"
The man sneered, "It's normal for parents to favor one child over another. Everyone has the right to favor someone or something."
Lu Cai pursed his lips in thought for a long time, then asked him, "So you hate me because I'm not Lu Lifeng and Gu Mengshu's child?"
