Chapter 017: Eating Watermelons in the Archives of Lies (6)
In the crowded cafeteria, "Qianfan" controlled his emotions and volume so as not to be laughed at by the students around him.
Unexpectedly, after hearing his question, the "nesting doll", which was already on the verge of collapse because someone had discovered that she was pregnant, completely exploded.
She yelled at the top of her lungs, "Yes, I posted that message. Are you satisfied?"
This shout caused an uproar all around.
"Blind Shiba Inu" also rushed over at this time. He had a crew cut and blocked "Orchid Grass" and "Matryoshka" behind him. He frowned and said to his friend "Qianfan" in front of him, "I posted the message. If you want to find someone to be held responsible, come to me."
After saying that, he turned around and said to the ponytailed "Lancao": "Sister, take her away first."
"Lan Cao" looked at the "Snow Elf" cowering behind "Qian Fan," obviously thinking it was this girl who exposed the fact that her friend was "pregnant," so she shouted, "What kind of mother gives birth to what kind of daughter. It wasn't enough that your mother stole the father of the "Matryoshka Doll," and now you want to steal her boyfriend too. How shameless!"
The people watching the excitement around became restless again.
The "Water Snow Elf" was even more bewildered. She whispered back, "My mother is not a mistress. I didn't know she was my sister. I wasn't a mistress either."
But no one listened.
Concentrating on appreciating this video, Liu Tang breathed a sigh of relief until it was over.
【Wow, what a big show! 】
Four fragments of archives were scattered on the ground.
One of the "sad nesting dolls" is the impulsive "Yes, that post was posted by me, are you satisfied?"
One belongs to "Whispering Orchid Grass", which explains the sentence to a friend: "You believe me, I didn't tell anyone!"
One belongs to the "blind Shiba Inu," who took the blame for the "Matryoshka" incident: "I posted it. If you want to find someone responsible, come find me."
One belongs to "Snow Elf in the Water," the final, unheard defense: "My mother is not a mistress. I didn't know she was my sister."
At this time, Song Xiaoyan and Qin Zhengyi had also arrived.
As they listened, the story became more and more confusing.
Song Xiaoyan said, "So, 'Matryoshka' and 'Snow Elf' are half-sisters with the same father. Their father was first with 'Matryoshka's' mother, and then with 'Snow Elf's' mother?"
Qin Zhengyi nodded. "No wonder before Matryoshka died, Snow Elf said her father didn't care about her. She must have known that Matryoshka lacked fatherly love since childhood and was very concerned about whether her father cared about her.
"Tsk tsk, what a vicious 'white lotus'."
Qin Zhengyi quickly deduced the outline of the story based on the information she had obtained:
"Matryoshka" got pregnant unexpectedly after being with "Qianfan".
She only told her good friend "Lancao", and before she had the chance to tell "Qianfan", she discovered that he was cheating on her.
What’s even more infuriating is that the “Matryoshka” discovered that the mistress was actually his half-sister, the one who monopolized all his father’s love.
From that moment on, perhaps everything started to get out of control.
Her love triangle with Qianfan and Snow Elf was posted online on campus, becoming a public spectacle. Even the true identity of Matryoshka was revealed.
The gossip of people around, the suspicion of friends, the irresponsible questioning of the scumbag who blames others, the provocation of the cheap sister's words...
All the overloaded negative emotions overwhelmed her and eventually left her helpless and in a dead end.
Qin Zhengyi felt both distressed and empathetic, and hated the scumbag and the mistress in the story even more.
President Jiang Minxu and superstar Fang Yiran had complicated expressions. They looked at each other as if to confirm, both a little hesitant.
Qin Zhengyi saw the expressions on their faces and felt somewhat relieved. She asked, "Why, do you realize that your previous excuses are untenable?"
Jiang Minxu came back to his senses, frowned and shook his head: "I understand your feelings, but the quarrel here still can't prove which of them is lying."
Qin Zhengyi was stunned. She carefully recalled what had just happened. Her identity as a "nesting doll" was exposed. She was questioned by the "cheating man" whether she was the one who posted the message. Her life story as a "white lotus" was exposed...
From beginning to end, this "cheating man" never admitted that he had been with the "Matryoshka", so it is indeed impossible to judge the truth.
Mo Qianhe interrupted at this time: "I found at least two lies."
Everyone looked at him and heard his analysis: "During the argument just now, 'Matryoshka' and 'Shiba Inu' both claimed to have posted the message. So one of them must be lying. This is the first lie."
Qin Zhengyi quickly added, "It's also possible that they are both lying."
Mo Qianhe nodded and continued, "As for the second sentence... Before, on the basketball court, Shiba Inu said he hated Matryoshka, but here, he is protecting her, which shows that he doesn't hate Matryoshka at all, and even cares about her very much."
Song Xiaoyan raised a question: "Just now, 'Shiba Inu' called 'Lancao' 'sister', which means they are siblings. Maybe this boy is only protecting her because she is his sister's good friend."
Fang Yiran, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up at this moment: "Even if someone is my sister's good friend, if I really hate them, I won't want to protect them, or even take the blame for them."
Qin Zhengyi thought of the Shiba Inu's confession that he was the one who posted the message, and nodded: "This person really does look like an idiot who doesn't want the person he likes to be wronged, so he mindlessly takes the blame."
Fang Yiran choked, not knowing whether he should agree or not.
Song Xiaoyan tried to summarize: "So 'Shiba Inu' likes 'Matryoshka', and 'Matryoshka' likes 'Qianfan', so 'Shiba Inu' said that the person he likes likes 'Qianfan'."
Qin Zhengyi agreed with surprise: "So what he said was true! Then his three statements so far are two false and one true. We can return two fragments!"
Liu Tang sighed in his heart with some regret:
[Ah... I thought this Shiba Inu also liked Snow Elf, but it seems not so ridiculous.]
Mo Qianhe was speechless and raised his hand to rub the other person's hair.
Liu Tang looked at the man with some confusion, but did not ask why he suddenly rubbed the top of his head.
I always feel that this action is very familiar.
[However, the Shiba Inu likes his sister's friend, and the person he likes likes his friend, and his friend not only gets the person he likes pregnant, but also cheats on her...seems pretty melodramatic!]
Mo Qianhe: ...That’s a good summary. Don’t summarize it next time.
On the other side, Lao Cheng listened to the conversation between several people at the same time.
After all the players discussed together, Lao Cheng realized that the situation was gradually out of his control, so he used the prop "Walls Have Ears".
Put it on Song Xiaoyan, and all their subsequent information will be synchronized to herself.
Through the conversation, he was sure that the two had formed an alliance with each other, otherwise they would not use the "Wall of Sound" to synchronize messages.
However, these young people did not expect that their conspiracy had already been heard clearly.
Lao Cheng curled his lips in pleasure: "Fighting with players is really fun."
Yin Guanglai knew that Lao Cheng was eavesdropping on the conversation on the other side. He wanted to ask what the other party said, but he felt that this old fox would not tell the truth, so he simply wisely did not ask.
At this moment, they were in a pavilion in a small forest, holding in their hands the two words that "Chai Chai" confessed to his sister "Lan Cao".
One sentence is "The child could be mine."
Another sentence is "We did have sex that night, and it was 'Sad Doll' who initiated it."
These two sentences reflect that the "Matryoshka" who has been in the victim's position throughout the whole process may have been lying from the beginning.
Yin Guanglai looked at Lao Cheng's calculating face and asked flatteringly, "How are you going to deal with them?"
Lao Cheng played with the two fragments and said, "No rush. Let's suppress these two pieces of news first and let Qin Zhengyi and Jiang Minxu fall apart in endless arguments and target each other."
"Hahaha, that's great, Lao Cheng." Yin Guanglai smiled happily.
The fat man was very satisfied with this arrangement.
He will be happy as long as he can make his enemy Jiang Minxu suffer.
The comments have already started to cry and rage:
"Ahhhhhh, how could such crucial information fall into the hands of the liar Lao Cheng!"
"President Jiang is in danger!"
"I hope they discover this liar's evil plan!"
"Hold on! Isn't Mo the liar still here? Let's see if he can figure it out."
"There's no clue at all, how can we deduce it?"
"How interesting! The situation between father and son has reversed!"
In the cafeteria, after Mo Qianhe and the others finished their discussion, Song Xiaoyan and his childhood friend left as usual and returned to the archives.
After waiting for a while, Mo Qianhe and the other three went to the archives.
Song Xiaoyan and her friend met Lao Cheng and his friend who had returned at the archives.
Lao Cheng spread out his hands and showed the other party a fragment he had obtained.
The words of "Whispering Orchid" were played inside: "My brother has nothing to do with her! My brother likes someone else!"
"It was discovered on the way to the grove. 'Orchid' seemed to be helping his good friend to dispel rumors." Lao Cheng said sincerely.
Song Xiaoyan and Qin Zhengyi exchanged glances, thinking about how so many people were watching "Shiba Inu" protecting "Matryoshka" in the cafeteria, and they probably suspected that they had some emotional entanglement, so "Lancao" wanted to help her friend clarify it.
Song Xiaoyan and Qin Zhengyi took out the fragments of the conversation between "Shiba Inu" and "Qianfan" on the court and shared the relevant information.
Yin Guanglai nodded and said, "It seems that this Shiba Inu really doesn't like Matryoshka. He said he hates Matryoshka."
Qin Zhengyi laughed in her heart.
Man, don’t you understand that men can say one thing and mean another?
She didn't know that Yin Guanglai was pretending to be stupid. After all, this man knew that "Matryoshka" and "Shiba Inu" had had sex.
When Song Xiaoyan heard the fat man's words, her heart tightened.
Something is wrong.
Yin Guanglai's word "indeed" seemed to mean that the fragments on both sides confirmed the same fact.
Judging from the fragments that Lao Cheng and the others took out, they only knew that "Lancao" had a younger brother, but they didn't know that the younger brother "Lancao" was referring to was "Shiba Inu".
Then why did Yin Guanglai suddenly feel that the words of the brother and sister confirmed each other?
They may have obtained more information that could prove that "Shiba Inu" is "Lancao's" younger brother, but they chose to cover it up.
At this time, Mo Qianhe and the other three arrived at the archives.
Although Lao Cheng knew all the information they had obtained, he still took the initiative to step forward and asked if he wanted to exchange information.
Mo Qianhe pretended to glance at Song Xiaoyan not far away and saw that the other party shook his head slightly.
This is what Song Xiaoyan meant by judging that Lao Cheng did not intend to provide useful information.
So Mo Qianhe said to Lao Cheng in front of him: "Let's not use it this time."
Lao Cheng was not angry at being rejected. He just nodded politely and returned to Yin Guanglai.
Qin Zhengyi looked through the file fragments in her hand, picked out the sentence said by "Shiba Inu", "I hate 'sad nesting dolls'", handed it to her childhood friend Song Xiaoyan, and signaled him to put it back on the file shelf.
Yin Guanglai was a little puzzled when he saw it.
He had clearly misled these two people on purpose, so why were they so sure it was a lie?
He turned his head to look at Lao Cheng, who was not surprised at all, and guessed that this old fox had probably heard their conversation a long time ago and knew more information.
Alas, I probably know the least about the entire dungeon now.
Yin Guanglai recognized this fact.
And there was nothing he could do about this situation.
Song Xiaoyan was unwilling to take the fragments and wanted her childhood friend to keep them as a backup first.
Qin Zhengyi shook her head and said, "I have two chances to use the props, don't worry."
Song Xiaoyan stopped refusing, took the fragments and put them back on the shelf.
A system announcement echoed in everyone's minds: "10% of the files have been successfully returned, bringing the total return progress to 20%. Congratulations to all players, you're one step closer to completing the game~"
Qin Zhengyi's face lit up with joy, but Song Xiaoyan remained serious.
As Lao Cheng had said, a woman with the "Boss" logo on her head appeared and asked Song Xiaoyan coldly, "Excuse me, what is the actual truth in the file fragments you returned?"
Song Xiaoyan calmly replied, "'Blind Shiba Inu' likes 'Sad Matryoshka'."
Boss nodded.
Mo Qianhe, who was watching closely from a distance, asked Jiang Minxu, "When you watched the live broadcast of this dungeon before, didn't you know that the boss's way of targeting players was to ask questions?"
Jiang Minxu nodded and shook his head: "I've seen this method before, but some people will be questioned, and some people will be killed directly by the boss. I don't know what the triggering mechanism is, so I haven't summarized any rules."
As the two were talking, they unexpectedly discovered that the boss in front of Song Xiaoyan did not disappear after asking a question, but continued to ask the girl: "Why did he say he hated her?"
Song Xiaoyan felt sweat on her back, but she tried to remain calm. "Because... he knew she liked 'Tabian Qianfan', so he insisted that he hated her."
The boss' figure froze for a moment, then disappeared.
Song Xiaoyan finally felt relieved, but then she heard the announcement again: "There was a deviation in the player's answer to the question, and the boss unlocking degree has increased to 50%."
"What, what?!" Yin Guanglai screamed in fright.
The pupils of the other people also constricted.
Only Lao Cheng raised the corners of his mouth happily.
