Chapter 67
He took back his hand from Cen Xun's waist.
Feng Jihan said in a deep voice: "You know."
"I guessed it." Cen Xun's voice was still a little sleepy. "I've been wondering why you were so obedient and didn't even run away. Then I thought, apart from that port, what else is worth you staying here for?"
Feng Jihan was silent for a few seconds: "When did you find out?"
In the darkness, Cen Xun's voice rang out faintly, "At first, I thought that as long as I sealed your abilities, you wouldn't be able to do anything. But the facts have proven that I underestimated you."
"After all, who would have thought that your feather clone could continue to evolve into even smaller clones?"
Cen Xun's hand dangerously pinched Feng Jihan's neck, and asked curiously, "Can you tell me how you did it?"
Feng Jihan sighed: "You did use the school rules to restrain me, but your rules have loopholes."
Cen Xun was very interested: "Oh?"
Feng Jihan: "The feather clone is a manifestation of my skills. If you want to use the rules to trap my feather clone, you must allow my main body to continue to output skills to this feather. Otherwise, my consciousness will not be able to stay on this feather. This will create a rule paradox."
"If your rules completely block my abilities, and my abilities are interrupted, my consciousness will return to my body, which would contradict your rule that temporary employees are not allowed to leave campus."
“So, there’s another question of rule priority.”
"In order to preserve my consciousness and fulfill the rule [Temporary employees are not allowed to leave the campus], your rule [Temporary employees are not allowed to use skills] has to give way to this rule."
"The final result is that my other skills are disabled, but the Feather Clone skill can still be used normally."
"So that's how it is," Cen Xun got the answer, and his tone of gratitude was very sincere: "Thank you, I will pay more attention in the future."
At this time, Cen Xun's cell phone began to vibrate wildly. Cen Xun didn't pick up the phone, but he knew it was the news that the port was destroyed without looking at it.
"I failed, didn't I?" Seeing Cen Xun's indifferent reaction, Feng Jihan realized something and said helplessly: "This is still the dream you created."
"That's right," Cen Xun said coldly, "but there's no reward."
The next morning, Wusa came with a lunch box to deliver breakfast as instructed by the principal.
But this time, the person who opened the door was Cen Xun.
The cat was shocked. At this hour, the principal was not sleeping in. Was the sky of Nightmare University about to fall?
Cen Xun took the lunch box from him and said calmly, "No need to send me lunch from now on."
Wusa came back to his senses and asked curiously, "Huh? Why?"
Cen Xun said, "The bird ran away."
"Run away?" Usa was even more shocked. The atheist had all his skills disabled by the principal. Even in this situation, how could he still run away?
Wu Sa followed Cen Xun into the house, watched Cen Xun open the lunch box, and calmly ate the meal he packed for the atheists, and realized that Cen Xun was not joking.
Wusa sat down next to Cen Xun and awkwardly consoled him, "It's okay. If we can catch him this time, we'll definitely be able to catch him again next time!"
"If the bird doesn't want to stay, no matter how hard you try, it will still fly away." Cen Xun lowered his eyes and put down his chopsticks, saying calmly, "Forget it, let it go."
Seeing the principal lose his beloved bird, Wusa felt inexplicably depressed. He still remembered how beautiful the sunset was last night. Now that the atheist was gone, he didn't know when he would be able to see it again.
Wusa transformed into a cat and lay on Cen Xun's lap: "Then Principal, please touch me. I am willing to be your substitute."
Cen Xun immediately refused: "You can't."
Wusa was anxious: "Why can't I? My hair is obviously black and white too."
Cen Xun said bluntly: "Because you can't do it with me."
Qin Xiu, who had just walked to the door, heard this and his blood pressure immediately rose: "Principal!"
What is the principal saying to a little kitten that knows nothing?
"Qin Xiu, why are you here too?" Wu Sa was confused, but he was even more confused by what Cen Xun had just said, so he turned around and continued to ask Cen Xun: "Principal, what do you mean by doing it with me?"
Before Cen Xun could speak, Qin Xiu explained, "Doing it means doing something intimate. It doesn't mean anything else."
Wusa asked Cen Xun doubtfully, "Is that really all?"
Cen Xun received Qin Xiu's gaze and reluctantly said, "About the same."
Qin Xiu coughed lightly, changed his shoes and came in, hesitantly speaking: "Principal, what about that dream last night..."
"Yeah, I did it." Cen Xun knew what he wanted to ask: "The port is fine. Let's talk about it in the meeting later."
Qin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly, "It's good that the port is fine. I saw the port destroyed in my dream last night. I suspected I was dreaming and almost believed it. But then I woke up and didn't know whether it was true or not."
Wusa suddenly realized: "So that's why you suddenly woke me up last night, Qin Xiu, and asked me if the port was still there."
Hearing this, Qin Xiu couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Wusa, didn't you dream that the port was destroyed?"
Cen Xun said calmly, "The port is stored in the mirror dimension. If Wusa participates in the group dream, he can simply transfer the port away when the atheists take action. How can we watch the fun next?"
So when Cen Xun created the dream last night, he simply didn't let Wu Sa participate, so as to avoid revealing more cards to Feng Jihan.
Wusa looked at Cen Xun, then at Qin Xiu, and felt as if he had missed a lot.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the five monsters in the core team of Nightmare University held an impromptu meeting.
The first question Tong Ming asked upon entering was the same as Qin Xiu's: "What happened to your dream last night? What happened that required you to activate your skill to create a group dream?"
Cen Xun: "I felt that the atheists were going to destroy the port, so I created a dream to test it."
Cen Xun actually couldn't guess the exact time when Feng Jihan would take action, but he thought that even if Feng Jihan didn't take action before, after he had a sneak peek at his memories, he would probably be forced to hurry up and take action.
So after the dream of the big fight ended, Cen Xun did not put Feng Jihan's consciousness back to reality, but instead immersed himself in a group dream.
With this sting operation, didn’t we successfully catch the bird thief in the act?
Tong Ming gnashed his teeth and said, "This evil bird, I knew he had bad intentions. Where is he now?"
"Kill him," Cen Xun said coldly, "School rules can't withstand his clone skills. If we don't throw him out, are we going to keep him around for the New Year?"
Hearing this answer, Tong Ming finally calmed down. He sat down in his seat, touched his chin, and hissed softly: "It would be good to kill him, but just killing him like this doesn't seem to be enough."
Cen Xun curled his lips without any emotion: "I got a lot of good stuff from his memories last night. Is this enough?"
Tong Ming's spirits suddenly lifted: "Enough, enough, you are worthy of it! Tell me quickly, what good stuff did you get!"
"Clues to the locations of the Research Institute and the Heresy Monitoring Bureau." Cen Xun paused. "And the reason why the nine of us regressed to the larval stage."
Tong Ming started clapping as soon as he heard the first sentence. When he heard the second sentence, the applause became even louder. "Great harvest, brother! I've decided not to mind your excessive behavior of dragging me into the group dream last night."
Qin Xiu grabbed Guan Jian and asked, "Then what's the reason for your memory loss and weakness?"
"There's a monster among us who can manipulate time," Cen Xun narrowed his eyes. "It reversed time for all nine of us, causing us to regress to our larval stages and lose our memories. This must be the reason."
Wusa raised her hand: "But why would that time-controlling monster do this? If he did this, wouldn't he also regress to his larval stage?"
Qin Xiu guessed, "Perhaps seeing he couldn't survive, he wanted to drag others down with him?"
Cen Xun: "It was me and Destiny who forced him to do this."
Tong Ming was stunned: "Wait, [Destiny]?"
Cen Xun was silent for a moment: "I guess it's my eldest sister."
Tong Ming's mouth twitched: "Then [Time] should be the second brother."
The eldest sister and the second brother have never gotten along, and the second brother is inexplicably unhappy with Cen Xun. It turns out that the grudge has been formed a long time ago.
Cen Xun briefly explained the situation. When Tong Ming heard that he had died at the hands of the Seven Evils, he exploded: "Who was it! Who is this lunatic?"
Yaxu also typed a blood-red "!" on the projection to show his anger.
"It's either the fifth or the seventh," Cen Xun reasoned, "The seventh is more likely."
"Seventh Brother!" Tong Ming suddenly showed an expression as if he had eaten a fly: "That crazy madman with a half-brain, how could I lose to him?"
Yaxu: "Kill, kill, kill! Kill him!"
Cen Xun ignored his two frantic brothers and continued writing on his tablet, "From this, the fifth child is the Walker. The Walker possesses spatial abilities and excels at sneak attacks and assassinations. The third sister is the Scourge, capable of striking at land, sea, and air. It's obvious who the remaining Disaster is."
Tong Ming sighed: "Everyone calls Lao Jiu an unlucky guy, but who would have thought that Lao Jiu is really an unlucky guy."
He shook his head, picked up the tablet in front of him, and added some words after the name written by Cen Xun.
"Now that I have the codename, I have an idea of what their strange domain might be."
Tong Ming tapped the screen with his pen: "The mysterious realm of [Destiny], the Nine Heavens."
"【Time】, Time Photo Studio."
"[Natural Disaster], the Ark of Creation."
"[Walker], I haven't discovered this yet."
"[Seven Evils], most likely the Crazy Mechanical City."
"As for that unlucky fellow [Miserable]," Tong Ming shrugged, "I haven't seen him yet. I don't know if it's because he's too unlucky, but my all-seeing vision automatically avoided him."
Tong Ming sighed, looking at the words on the tablet, his eyes filled with a hint of pity: "Just take the strange domains of my eldest sister, second brother, third sister, seventh brother, and eighth brother. Which one of them was not on the list before? But in the end, they were all pushed to the bottom by your vicious business warfare, fourth brother. I don't know if it's because they just awakened and their brains haven't turned around yet."
"Is this vicious?" Cen Xun folded his arms in disapproval. "The principal wins people over with virtue, how can that be called vicious?"
Yaxu, one of the victims: "He felt it was very vicious, but he didn't dare to say it.
Qin Xiu, who was listening in: "As a former capitalist, after learning about the entire process of the principal's entrepreneurship, he also felt it was very vicious.
Wusa, the school secretary, was very supportive: "That's right, it's obvious that they are not as skilled as others!"
Cen Xun praised: "Secretary Cat really understands me."
Tong Ming: “6.”
Cen Xun glanced at Tong Ming and said, "Anyway, we will definitely fight them again in the future, so let's mark them first."
Among the nine monsters, not every one of them would be willing to become a subordinate of the other monsters. Tong Ming is a special case. Ya Xu also wanted to devour Cen Xun at the beginning, but he capsized in the gutter. The core body is controlled by Cen Xun, and he has to obey even if he doesn't want to.
The remaining brothers and sisters probably won’t be so easy to deal with.
Based on the coordinates provided by Tong Ming, Yaxu automatically marked the locations of other strange areas on the map of the nightmare world and projected them onto the big screen.
Nine Heavens, City B.
Crazy Mechanical City, City F.
Time Photo Studio, Y City.
The Ark of Creation, in the waters of the Posa Sea.
Nightmare University, located in H City, is in a poor location. From the big map, it is almost surrounded by the strange domain of brothers and sisters.
Tong Ming touched his chin and said, "If we go to Scarlet Abyss Prison, we'll probably be facing [Natural Disaster] first."
Cen Xun looked at Tong Ming and said, "Speaking of Chiyuan Prison, have you found out how to get in?"
Speaking of this, Tong Ming's expression became speechless: "I found out. According to the rules I saw, only the most heinous villains will be arrested and reformed."
Cen Xun was silent for a moment, then asked expressionlessly, "Aren't people like us vicious enough?"
"I'm not very clear about the prison rules." Tong Ming scratched his head. "It seems that you have to kill a lot of innocent people at once, and the nature of the crime is extremely serious, in order to be arrested."
Cen Xun looked at his hands thoughtfully: "So, after losing my memory, I really haven't killed many innocent people."
Tong Ming said calmly, "If we want to enter Chiyuan Prison, we need to kill some people first. Brother, when do you think is the best time to do it?"
Cen Xun thought for a moment and said, "We can't just kill the players in the school for no reason. Let's go out and kill them. We can wait until the second batch of public beta players come in before we start."
That's how it was settled.
Afterwards, Cen Xun talked about the address clues of the research institute and the Heresy Monitoring Bureau.
Because Feng Jihan committed suicide too quickly, Cen Xun was unable to see the complete address of the institute, but it can be inferred that the institute is located underground and close to the sea. If he searches along the coastline, he should be able to find some clues.
More importantly,
"The research institute has connections to the Shenrui Group." Cen Xun circled the words "Shenrui Group." "The armed personnel escorting the atheists all wore badges indicating they were from the Shenrui Group."
Shenrui Group is the medical industry under the name of Shen.
Cen Xun: "We can take out Shen Wenshao who was buried in the Shen family before and use him. Following the line of Shenrui Group, it shouldn't be a problem to find the research institute."
"As for the Heretic Monitoring Bureau," Cen Xun gave a string of coordinates. "When their captain set up the autopilot, he set these coordinates. They should be the address of the Heretic Monitoring Bureau's headquarters."
Yaxu switched to the map of the real world and located a place based on the coordinates given by Cen Xun.
According to the satellite images sent back, there is no one living near this area, with only an ordinary-looking building standing there alone.
Cen Xun stood up and looked around at the other monsters in the conference room. "Our next goal is to monitor these two locations, control as many people as possible, and infiltrate their upper echelons with our members."
After the meeting, Cen Xun returned to the principal's office, sat in his seat, and relaxed for a while.
Wusa brought him a plate of dessert quietly and saw Cen Xun with his eyes downcast, casually playing with a broken black ring in his hand.
Cen Xun suddenly spoke up: "Secretary Wu, do you think it's possible to restore a broken mirror to its original state?"
Wusa thought about it and said honestly, "Yes, ordinary broken mirrors may still have cracks, but my mirrors are different. I can put them back together completely."
Cen Xun shook his head: "If it's broken, it's broken. The person who puts it back together may forget that it was ever broken, but the mirror will always remember."
"Just like this ring," Cen Xun looked at the black ring in his hand against the light. "If it were me, I wouldn't want this broken ring either."
Wusa watched him take out a box, put the broken ring in it, and then put the box in a drawer.
Cen Xun closed the drawer and said calmly, "Since broken things can't be restored to their original state, let them remain broken."
Feng Jihan wrote three reports in a row to report the situation. When he came out of the recording room, two hours had passed.
As soon as he left the house, someone said to him sternly, "Chief Feng, the deputy director wants to see you."
Feng Jihan nodded and went to the deputy director's office.
The deputy director was quite old. When he entered, the deputy director was wearing glasses and reading the reports he had written. When he saw him come in, he smiled and said, "Xiao Feng, you're here."
Feng Jihan: "Deputy Director, is there something wrong with the report?"
The deputy director smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I called you over here because I want to discuss something with you."
Feng Jihan also smiled: "What is it? Just tell me."
"Look, isn't that small company in your team going to be transferred away at the end of the month?" The deputy director put his glasses aside, patted the chair beside him, and motioned for Feng Jihan to sit down. "Now, you and Shi Yue are the only ones left in your team who can do anything. The director and I have discussed recruiting a few more people for you. What do you think?"
"Recruit a few more people?" Feng Jihan showed some embarrassment: "You also know what kind of situation the bureau will face in the future. If we transfer new people here, firstly, there will be no time for them to get used to each other, and secondly..."
"Don't worry about these situations, we've taken them all into consideration," the deputy director said, interrupting Feng Jihan with a smile. "You were also a newcomer, so you should know that no team has ever had natural tacit understanding. Isn't it all about working together?"
Feng Jihan smiled but didn't respond. He knew that the deputy director had already made the decision and was just informing him.
"Let's put it this way. I'll have someone send you the new recruits' information later." The deputy director said in a praising tone, "Don't worry, they're all good seedlings. Young people tend to be fickle, so we need your help to temper them."
Feng Jihan nodded: "Okay, I understand."
The deputy director smiled with satisfaction and picked up the report again. This time he wasn't wearing his glasses and squinted his eyes as he asked, "Xiao Feng, are you sure that the new port is really broken?"
Feng Jihan said without blinking, "I'm sure I destroyed the new port, but time was too short and I didn't have time to find out how they created the new port."
The deputy director sighed, "This [Huangliang] is still such a trouble. I've said long ago that we must eradicate him completely while he's still weak."
Feng Jihan kept smiling, as if indifferent to his words, so the deputy director changed the subject: "The variety show has been airing these past few days, and there's been a lot of talk about you online. Xiao Feng, you should be more careful when you go out these days and don't cause chaos in the crowd."
Feng Jihan's mouth corners stiffened slightly: "I will."
Before leaving, Feng Jihan casually mentioned, "When it comes to dealing with Huang Liang, it's actually more appropriate to have someone with his own abilities."
The deputy director was stunned for a moment: "Who?"
Feng Jihan whispered, "My former vice-captain, Su Mingqi."
Upon hearing this name, the deputy director's face changed, and he slammed the report on the table. "Nonsense! Su Mingqi blatantly violated the regulations and became a degenerate. You want the bureau to release him from the shelter?"
Feng Jihan said calmly: "I just mentioned my idea. If it doesn't work, forget it. Deputy Director, I'm leaving first."
"Xiao Feng, you..."
Before he could finish his words, Feng Jihan walked out the door and considerately closed the door for him.
Feng Jihan smiled and greeted his colleagues one by one when he met them on the road. It was not until he saw Administrator 01 that Feng Jihan slightly suppressed his smile and said to her, "Let's go and meet the new people."
Administrator 01 hurriedly caught up with him and asked in surprise, "Going now?"
"Just consider it an early acquaintance." Feng Jihan twirled the car keys and said jokingly, "See why he's so upset."
Administrator 01 stopped and looked at Feng Jihan's receding back.
She could vaguely feel that something seemed to be different, Captain.
