Chapter 022: Eating Watermelons in the Archives of Lies (11)
Although they knew that it was Lao Cheng who was behind this, the situation was urgent and Mo Qianhe and others had no time to fight with the other party. They had to save Song Xiaoyan's life first.
Fang Yiran searched through the fragments and finally found what the "blind Shiba Inu" said in the cafeteria: "I posted it, if you want to find someone responsible, come to me."
He said to the others somewhat embarrassedly, "This is a lie. I guarantee it with my own integrity."
Qin Zhengyi thought that this involved the life of her childhood friend, so she didn't dare to believe it easily.
Once the childhood friend takes the fragment to return it and finds out that it is not a lie, he may be killed by the Boss directly.
Seeing that Qin Zhengyi and Song Xiaoyan were both hesitant, Fang Yiran stood up and said, "It's too late. I'll go and return it. As long as the unlocking degree reaches 50%, Miss Song's countdown will end, and I can also meet the minimum conditions. It's the best of both worlds."
Song Xiaoyan asked worriedly, "Are you sure? This is not a joke. You might die."
Fang Yiran took a deep breath and finally confessed, "I'm sure, because I am the 'blind Shiba Inu'."
[Oh my god! This! Is this really how you eat melons?!]
Liu Tang was completely stunned.
He didn't expect that the player and the NPC could be the same identity.
Mo Qianhe curled his lips. Not bad; his efforts had finally ensured that Liu Tang got a good taste of the melon.
Song Xiaoyan watched Fang Yiran return the fragments to the file shelf, and heard the system announce that the overall file return progress had increased to 50%, and the countdown in front of her ended.
Only then did she believe that Fang Yiran was telling the truth.
Song Xiaoyan has always liked the artist Fang Yiran, not only because of his good acting skills, but also because he has kept himself clean since entering the circle, without any gossip about him, which gives a good impression to fans.
But now I know that he may have made a girl pregnant before marriage...
As a less crazy fan, she still felt like her house had collapsed.
When Qin Zhengyi heard the news that the countdown for her childhood friend was over, she shook him happily, but found that his eyes were blank, and she immediately understood why.
"I told you a long time ago not to be too emotional when chasing stars, but you refused to listen. You said you're a strong and good woman, and it's enough for you to be beautiful alone, but you have to chase stars. It's okay, it's the same if you chase another star."
Song Xiaoyan listened to her best friend's words, not knowing whether she was comforting her or gloating.
Fans of Fang Yiran who lived in the live broadcast room appeared again:
"Player Song's dazed look is exactly like me!"
"I was still laughing at the commotion, but when I got closer and took a closer look, hahaha, it was my house that collapsed!"
"Luckily I died early and haven't been a fan for years, otherwise I would be the one to be ruined."
"Fortunately, my current idol is Chairman Jiang, otherwise I wouldn't be so happy watching the fun right now."
Returning the file fragments is only the first step; facing the boss's questions is the highlight.
"Excuse me, what is the actual truth in the archival fragments you returned?" It was still a familiar question.
Fang Yiran suddenly got stuck.
Only then did he realize that everything that happened back then was too chaotic. After his sweetheart died, his family sent him and his sister abroad to protect them. The whole story was a mess to him, and he was not fully aware of the details of the truth behind it.
From his perspective, it seemed that the "nesting doll" he had a crush on suddenly "saw" him.
Lingering with him was like a blessing.
I thought they could be together from now on, but for some reason she turned her back on me and said that she liked his good friend "Qianfan".
He had tried to probe his friend's intentions many times, but found that "Qianfan" knew nothing about the matter, and instead had another person in his mind - "Snow Elf".
Fang Yiran thought that since his friend didn't like "nesting dolls" anyway, as long as he waited patiently, she would come back to him one day.
He just kept waiting and waiting, but what he got was the news that "Qianfan" had cheated on "Matryoshka" and made her pregnant unexpectedly.
Fang Yiran protected "Matryoshka" during the conflict in the cafeteria and took the blame for the other party, but did not get any more attention from the other party.
Depressed, he confessed his past with the "Matryoshka" to his sister, but he did not get her support.
His sister just asked him to wait for "Matryoshka" to get through the difficulties before considering the matter between them.
So he continued to wait, but what he finally received was the news of the other party's death...
Fang Yiran quickly recalled the past that he was most reluctant to face.
Looking into Boss's calm eyes, he wiped the sweat from his cheeks and replied, "The truth is... the post wasn't posted by 'Blind Shiba Inu', and he doesn't know who posted it."
When the others heard this, they realized that Fang Yiran had no idea who had posted the message, and they thought to themselves that something was wrong.
Lao Cheng, who was standing not far away and eavesdropping on the information, felt a new hope in his heart.
Although I wasted a substitute on this guy named Fang before, it wouldn’t be too much of a loss if he died now.
That fat pig didn't die, so it's okay if this guy surnamed Fang dies now.
Let a player die quickly so that he can get more points when settling accounts.
Lao Cheng prayed devoutly in his heart.
Boss seemed dissatisfied with Fang Yiran's answer and continued to ask, "Who posted it?"
Jiang Minxu took a few steps forward, stood next to Fang Yiran, and said, "The post was posted by 'Sad Matryoshka'."
Fang Yiran turned around and looked at Jiang Minxu in disbelief, and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure?"
Jiang Minxu nodded, with an expression of reluctance on his face.
At this time, Fang Yiran could only trust President Jiang, so he repeated what the Boss had just said to him.
Boss nodded: "Correct answer."
Fang Yiran originally thought that he would find it difficult to accept this result.
After all, he once trusted the "Matryoshka" so much.
But when he safely passed the Boss's question-and-answer session and was sure that the post was originally posted by "Matryoshka" himself, he felt particularly calm.
Although it was still a bit painful, he seemed to have guessed the truth a long time ago, otherwise he would not have wanted to take the blame for the other party.
Fang Yiran understood that he just didn't want to face this fact.
The "nesting doll" was not as weak and pure white as he imagined.
After the boss left, Jiang Minxu looked at the other people present with a gloomy expression.
Seeing their skeptical expressions, and thinking that Fang Yiran had confessed, he didn't intend to hide it any longer and admitted, "I'm actually 'Tabian Qianfan'."
[Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! He's worthy of being Minliang, the melon-sending Guanyin's brother! He gave me a melon in the rest area, and another one when he entered the dungeon! I'd like to call him the melon-sending Guanyin plus!]
[So this is how the causal connection between him and Fang Yiran came about?! A reunion of former friends and rivals!]
[Oh, no, strictly speaking, they can't be considered rivals in love.]
[It's hard to define, let me analyze it again.]
Liu Tang's thoughts became active again.
Mo Qianhe had no choice but to take out a pen and paper, ready to draw a relationship diagram for him.
The live broadcast room was boiling again:
"Hahaha, that friend who just said his idol is Chairman Jiang, you didn't expect that your house would also collapse!"
"Impossible, I don't believe it! How could President Jiang be a scumbag!"
"Don't jump to conclusions yet. The truth behind this dungeon hasn't been revealed yet!"
"Outrageous, too outrageous. Am I some kind of cheap person? Do I have to be the one to fall for my fans?!"
Qin Zhengyi now felt a little bit of the same feeling as her childhood friend when her family collapsed.
President Jiang has always been well-known for his integrity and never hesitates to help other players.
She has always believed in this man's character.
Although a few minutes ago, Qin Zhengyi criticized President Jiang for the question of which NPC was lying.
But it is precisely because she believes in President Jiang's character that she dares to confront him so unscrupulously.
At this moment, she suddenly learned that President Jiang might have been a scumbag, and she said it was a bit unbearable.
Then, Qin Zhengyi thought that the "Sad Nesting Doll" might have lied, and her heart became conflicted.
She is more willing to believe in "Matryoshka", whether because the other party is a woman or because of the tragic ending of the other party.
But she was also unwilling to believe that President Jiang was a bad person.
Before she could figure it out, she heard her childhood friend Song Xiaoyan ask Fang Yiran and Jiang Minxu with a tone of blame and confusion: "Since you are the ones involved in this whole case, why didn't you admit it earlier so that we could save ourselves so many detours."
Fang Yiran wanted to rub her hair, but she held back for fear of messing it up. She explained, "It's mainly because the campus painting is too abstract, the portraits are too abstract, and the sounds are all processed. I'm not sure if I have anything to do with them."
Jiang Minxu also responded: "Also, this story isn't that unique. I can't be sure if it's something I experienced personally, or if it's just similar to what I experienced. If I tell you too early that the story is similar to mine, but the actual plot is different, then my hint will mislead everyone's inference and put everyone in a more dangerous situation. That's why I chose not to speak for now."
Fang Yiran, somewhat trying to avoid being questioned, turned his head and asked Jiang Minxu, "Doesn't your guild often research dungeon strategies? You've seen the live recording of this dungeon, and how come you didn't notice it earlier?"
Jiang Minxu replied with some frustration, "The livestream footage of this instance was too fragmented, so I didn't watch it very carefully. Also, every time the instance was reopened, the plot seemed to change slightly, making it even harder to extract useful information. With so many instances to analyze, we were a bit lucky, and the guild's strategy department was kind of giving up on this instance..."
Qin Zhengyi asked curiously, "When did you confirm it?"
Seeing he couldn't escape, Fang Yiran replied in self-deprecation, "I felt vaguely familiar when I saw the post in the dormitory. I became even more suspicious when I heard the conversation between Qianfan and Shiba Inu on the basketball court, but I wasn't sure in the cafeteria..."
Jiang Minxu said, "Indeed, observing my own affairs from a bystander's perspective, I always have the illusion that 'it shouldn't have been so dramatic back then'... It wasn't until I learned that the 'Shiba Inu' and the 'Matryoshka' had sex that I was 80% sure."
"We'll talk about these things later," Mo Qianhe interrupted the meaningless accusation and asked President Jiang anxiously, "Since you are 'Tabian Qianfan', are you sure that the two sentences you said on the phone downstairs of the teaching building were lies?"
Jiang Minxu nodded and admitted: "Yes."
Mo Qianhe clenched his fists tightly and thought of using anti-eavesdropping props. He covered the six of his men with a "soundproof crystal ball" to prevent Lao Cheng and Yin Guanglai from eavesdropping on any useful information.
However, Lao Cheng, who was standing not far away, had already obtained the information he wanted.
The star whose surname was Fang escaped the disaster again, which made Lao Cheng feel quite regretful.
But when he learned that there were two players closely related to the plot of this dungeon, he became happy again.
He used his innate skill "stealing and replacing" to get two fragments from Mo Qianhe. Originally, it was just because he confirmed that the fragments in his hand were useless and wanted to try his luck and exchange them for two new ones.
Unexpectedly, through the words of the leader of the Poshan Guild, he confirmed that the fragments he exchanged for were all lies, so he could improve his return rate again.
In this way, he can not only gain more points with high return rate, but also force several players to death and divide up more guaranteed points.
Thinking of this, a satisfied and happy smile appeared on his face.
As expected, I am still the strongest, and those little bastards are just ants.
