Chapter 269 Key
Lin Jiu was not worried about Hicks.
Hicks is stronger than Basil. If you ask Lin Jiu which of the two can make him feel more at ease, it is naturally the former.
There was no notice of rules in the fourth-floor conference room, but there was a newspaper. Someone had deliberately circled a piece of news: a student at this high school had committed suicide by jumping off a building.
Unable to find the rules in the conference room, Lin Jiu and Basil immediately decided to look for them in other rooms.
It just so happened that the principal's office was nearby.
"The principal's office is locked and can't be opened."
Basil's words made Lin Jiu frown slightly. He subconsciously wanted to use violence, but when he thought about the loud noise that might attract the security guards, Lin Jiu hesitated.
Basil was stunned for a moment when he saw him hesitate.
Lin Jiu, are you hesitating?
"you...."
Basil was just about to ask Lin Jiu if he felt unwell when he caught a glimpse of a light not far away.
Security is back!
Lin Jiu also noticed the light in the distance. He thought about hiding with Basil, but an idea in his mind instantly suppressed this idea.
key.
If I remember correctly, the security guard had the key.
Could there be the key to the principal's office in here?
Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Lin Jiu's eyes.
Basil didn't see it, but he keenly sensed the changes in Lin Jiu's aura.
I wonder if anyone remembers that when Basil came into contact with Lin Jiu, he would deliberately keep a distance from him.
There is no other reason.
Basil is born with the ability to sense people's magnetic field.
This statement may make people puzzled. Simply put, it is actually similar to Lin Jiu, who can keenly perceive the kindness and malice of the opposite person.
But the difference is that Basil can only sense two.
One is that this person gives him a very bad feeling, and the other is that this person gives him a very good feeling.
Although it cannot be divided into good intentions or bad intentions, it can make Basil understand whether this person is worthy of his close friendship.
It was also because of this super sharp intuition that Basil felt a very strange feeling when he saw Lin Jiu for the first time even through the screen.
Not to mention direct contact.
The feeling Lin Jiu gave Basil was different from anyone he had ever met before.
He is so confused.
As a result, Basil felt very uncomfortable when facing Lin Jiu, and the chaotic magnetic field made him uneasy and even frightened.
Although this does not conflict with the sense of security that Lin Jiu can bring him, Basil is on the verge of exploding almost every moment when he is with Lin Jiu.
Now, that uneasy feeling is even stronger.
"Hide first." Lin Jiu said.
Hearing this, Basil hesitated to speak, and finally retreated back to the meeting room obediently.
After Basil entered the conference room, he did not find a secluded place to hide as he had done before. Instead, he squatted against the wall, hugged his legs, and waited quietly for the battle outside to end.
All of them revealed their trust in Lin Jiu's ability.
A shrill whistle soon sounded, and Lin Jiu subconsciously squinted his eyes due to the dazzle of the flashlight. He frowned slightly, raised his gun without any hesitation, and fired two shots.
However, the security guard ran straight towards him as if he had not been hit by a bullet.
Lin Jiu paused, then quickly stepped back, dodging the incoming baton. Steadying himself, he raised his foot and kicked the security guard back several meters.
The next second after kicking, Lin Jiu's expression when he looked at the security guard suddenly became a little strange.
The obstructive light disappeared, and Lin Jiu could see the security guard's condition clearly.
He was a bit fat, his skin was dry and wrinkled, and there was only white in his eyes. He looked like a walking corpse. Black sticky liquid was oozing out of his chest and abdomen where he was shot.
No wonder that kick just now felt so wrong.
The pistol in Lin Jiu's hand disappeared, and the Sword of Creation appeared in his hand.
After weighing it twice, he grasped the sword with both hands and swung it towards the security guard's neck without any skill. The sharp blade didn't even require Lin Jiu to exert any extra strength, and easily chopped off the security guard's head.
The body fell down helplessly like a zombie. Lin Jiu calmly put away the Sword of Creation, took two steps forward, and took off the key chain hanging on the security guard's waistband.
"?"
Lin Jiu stood up straight, thinking of something, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
He looked at the corpse in front of him and frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?" Basil, who had been paying attention to the movements outside, leaned half of his body out of the conference room. Seeing Lin Jiu standing motionless in front of the corpse, he asked.
"There's no black fog." Lin Jiu turned around and frowned, "I've already killed it."
The status given in the prompt also shows death, but why is there no black fog?
Basil was also puzzled when he heard this.
"Could it be that the system has detected a mistake..."
Basil's voice suddenly dropped. Lin Jiu looked puzzled. Seeing that the other party was staring at him from behind, he subconsciously turned around.
I saw the security guard's body disappearing.
Almost in an instant, the security guard's body disappeared completely.
Lin Jiu and Basil both frowned.
"It seems that this is not the real body?" Basil said.
The head was chopped off but there was no black fog, and the game system did not determine it as dead. This only means that this monster was not dead at all. The one "killed" by Lin Jiu was probably just a clone, or a puppet or something like that.
"...Let's see if we can open the principal's office first." Lin Jiu was silent for a while, then tossed the keychain in his hand. "Hicks is still waiting for us."
Basil nodded.
Lin Jiu turned and walked to the door of the principal's office. Looking at the several keys strung together, he became impatient before he even started.
"Here, which is the key to the principal's office?"
【The fourth one from the right.】
Lin Jiu picked up the key that was prompted, but when he inserted the key into the keyhole, it wouldn't turn at all.
"?"
Lin Jiu suddenly looked confused, and even disbelief flashed in his eyes.
【Master, you got the wrong one....】
"Um?"
【It’s the fourth one from the left...】
"?"
Lin Jiu was stunned.
Got the wrong one?
How is that possible?
"Didn't you just say..." Lin Jiu murmured softly, then thought of something, blinked twice, and swallowed the rest of the sentence, "Oh."
【？ 】
The prompt gently typed a question mark.
Lin Jiu ignored him, ignored Basil's gaze, picked up the fourth key from the left, and tried again.
With a "click", the lock opened.
