The Silent and Eerie School (Part 23)
"My baby asked the question I wanted to know!"
"I want to know too! I want to know too!"
"Baby finally noticed something's wrong with this NPC!"
"Let me see who he really is! How dare he kiss my darling!"
"Waaaaah, the scene just now was so beautiful, I forgot to post a comment..."
"It's okay, the game has save files, you can go back and review it anytime, hehehe..."
Li Su stared intently at the face of the person in front of her, trying to find a flaw in that excessively superior face.
However, he found nothing unusual on the man's face.
"I'm a teacher." The man in front of me pursed his thin lips, his eyes showing no sign of evasion.
No, there wouldn't be such a teacher, at least not in this cannibalistic horror game.
Despite being an NPC, he interacted so intimately with the player, their every move so smooth and natural, and he didn't even question him when he entered a key mission location.
The person in front of me cannot be an NPC in the game.
Once the hypothesis is formed in the mind, all the strange feelings from before are easily resolved at this moment.
Li Su lowered her eyes.
Is it that he doesn't want to talk about it, or that he can't talk about it?
It's okay, if he doesn't want to talk about it, he'll find out the truth himself.
Seeing that Li Su lowered her eyes and stopped looking at him, Qi Wujin felt a little flustered, but he didn't show it on his face: "Su Su?"
“Hmm…” Li Su lifted her eyelids and responded.
The two looked at each other, but remained silent.
Li Su tried calling the system again: Have I completed my mission for tonight?
A hissing sound of electricity filled my mind, followed by a stiff, mechanical voice.
[It's finished.]
The man in front of him, who called himself a teacher, placed his palm on Li Su's knee. Li Su moved his leg slightly, and the man immediately looked down to check Li Su's knee, his voice tense: "Su Su, don't move, the wound will heal in a little while."
Li Su pursed her lips. If the person in front of her wasn't an NPC, then the system should know, right?
Li Su tentatively tapped the system that had just appeared: Who is he? Is he the NPC teacher in the game?
The moment Li Su asked the question, the male teacher who had been massaging his knees suddenly looked up, and their eyes met again.
Li Su narrowed her eyes slightly.
What a coincidence?
When this person appears in front of him, the system can communicate with him, even about topics outside of the mission. But once the person disappears, the system will no longer communicate with him except for mission-related matters.
Qi Wujin looked away, his face calm and composed, but his heart was in turmoil.
Why did Su Su suspect his identity? Where exactly did he give himself away?
Qi Wujin's Adam's apple bobbed, and his heart pounded uncontrollably.
It seems this identity is already risky, and I can no longer stay by Su Su's side.
Fortunately, he can continue under a different identity...
Just thinking this, Qi Wujin's tense nerves quietly relaxed again.
Qi Wujin's gaze fell once again on Li Su's lips, which were now a vibrant, crimson red from being kissed, and he felt a sharp dryness in his throat.
Now he can ask for some more benefits, right?
I don't know if the system in my brain is still online, but in any case, there's no sound.
Li Su tentatively called out to the system again: "System, are you still there?"
Sure enough, the familiar mechanical voice sounded again: "I'm here."
This time, the system was exceptionally proactive, answering his question—which could be considered a violation of the game rules—before Li Su could continue to ask.
Do you see the person in front of you?
Li Su gave a perfunctory reply, thinking the system was just trying to fool him, so he asked again: "Hmm. Why isn't he like a regular NPC?"
The mechanical voice paused briefly before returning to normal: "[He is the final boss of this dungeon.]"
Li Su's pupils dilated; he hadn't considered this possibility.
But he still didn't understand why the dungeon boss cared so much about him? It could even be described as pampering.
Li Su continued to ask: Then why was he so good to me? Why did he let me go so easily?
[Because of your personal skills.]
The system seemed unwilling to explain further and gave a perfunctory answer to Li Su's question.
Personal skill? Li Su almost instantly thought of that special skill with the string of garbled characters.
Could it be related to that?
Want to beat the game quickly?
For some reason, Li Su always felt that the system's voice had a seductive quality to it.
Li Su: Hmm?
System: [Give him another kiss.]
Li Su: ? ? ?
Feeling that there was something wrong with her hearing, Li Su blinked several times. Seeing the words on the light blue fluorescent panel, she was certain that she hadn't misheard.
It clearly stated on it: "Give him another kiss."
"I know!!! Even if SuSu doesn't know, I know!!!"
"Same here!!! I knew it too!!!"
"Holy crap, aren't you guys going to let me evolve too? What did you all guess???"
"Yeah, I watched the live stream with you guys, so why am I still completely confused? Evolution missed me!!!"
"The system is also related to this special NPC!"
To put it more clearly: the system might be useful to this NPC at certain times (referring to when the NPC appears next to Su Su)!!!
"Of course, the above is just my personal speculation and is not entirely certain."
"Don't doubt yourself, I agree with you!"
"Huh??? That seems reasonable, but then who exactly is this NPC?"
As if afraid Li Su hadn't heard clearly, the system repeated: "Go kiss him."
Qi Wujin cautiously raised his eyes to secretly observe Li Su's expression. Why isn't Su Su replying to the system anymore...?
Didn't you hear me...?
Li Su interrupted the system: Don't even think about it.
[...]
Not only the system, but even Qi Wujin subconsciously held his breath.
What's wrong? Why doesn't Su Su want to kiss him anymore? Does she hate him? But she was willing just now...
Qi Wujin was absorbed in his own world and did not see that Li Su's expression had become intriguing.
Oh......
This system is indeed related to the strange NPC in front of us, and it even serves this NPC.
However, Li Su couldn't be 100% sure, since the system hadn't been there when he called for it before.
It feels like being constantly watched.
However, Li Su surprisingly did not resist this feeling; at least neither the system nor the man in front of him intended to harm him.
"I'm going back to my dorm." Li Su pursed her lips.
Qi Wujin was stunned.
Did he say something wrong? Why is Su Su leaving?
With a slight twitch of his knee beneath his palm, Qi Wujin instinctively pressed down on that spot.
When she met Li Su's furrowed brows, she subtly loosened her grip a bit and tentatively explained, "There's still ointment... I'll help Su Su wipe it clean before I leave..."
While wiping away all the ointment on Li Su's knees with a wet wipe, Qi Wujin didn't forget to secretly observe Li Su out of the corner of his eye.
Hmm... Su Su didn't refuse him again.
Qi Wujin obediently withdrew his gaze and began to carefully wipe Li Su's knees.
After a thick layer of ointment was applied, the knee recovered completely, smooth and flat, with a healthy light pink color.
After her trousers were pulled down, Li Su stood up.
Qi Wujin also slowly stood up, watching Li Su's figure walk away, and slowly lowered his eyes.
Su Su seems angry. Is it because he didn't answer Su Su's question seriously?
However, Qi Wujin cannot reveal his identity yet. If the game's AI discovers it, not only will he be in danger, but even Li Su's life will be in danger.
Wait a little longer. Once he becomes stronger and can control the mainframe, he will confess everything to Su Su.
It's a pity that he's about to disappear again after just getting close to Su Su using this identity.
Qi Wujin sighed silently, and just as he was about to look up, a pleasant scent suddenly wafted to his nose, followed by a soft touch that nestled into his arms.
Qi Wujin lowered his eyes and saw a furry head buried in his chest.
"Thank you."
Although I don't know who you are, thank you for helping me.
After Li Su finished speaking, she released Qi Wujin's waist, blushed, and quickly left.
The hands of the watch on my wrist moved one, two, three...
Qi Wujin finally realized what was happening, covering his face with his large hands, his ears turning bright red.
It smells so good; his hands still carry the scent of Li Su.
Qi Wujin closed his eyes contentedly.
A glimpse of the upturned corners of his lips could be seen through the gaps between his fingertips.
"My goodness! Su Su is such a good fisherman!"
"Look, look! Just one hug, and he's already got that teacher all smitten."
"Hahahaha, that guy is such a pervert!"
"I can't take it anymore, how can the senior brother be so innocent??? This makes it even more adorable, everyone!!!"
As soon as Li Su stepped out of the school history museum, he saw Qi Zui and Qi Ye waiting for him under the eaves of the museum.
The worry that she would have to walk alone at night again suddenly subsided, and Li Su's voice was filled with uncontrollable joy.
What brings you here?
Finally seeing her companion, Li Su happily jumped down the steps and stood between the two of them.
Li Su didn't notice that the twins' gazes immediately fell on his lips.
A dark glint flashed in his eyes before he immediately returned to normal.
"We came to find you because you hadn't been back for so long." Qi Zui stood to Li Su's left.
Qi also stood to Li Su's right: "Let's go back."
Qi Zui reached out and grabbed Li Su's wrist, saying, "It's too dark, be careful not to fall."
"Oh..." Before Li Su could finish speaking, her right wrist was grabbed.
"If you hold my hand, you won't fall." Qi also turned his head to look at him.
Li Su looked at her wrists, which were being held by the two of them, hesitated for a moment, and then gently thanked Qi Zui and Qi Ye, saying, "Thank you... thank you."
The way they held hands was so strange; why was she only holding his wrist?
Li Su only hesitated for a moment before putting the question out of her mind, which was good, as it saved them from touching his hands that had just been coated with ointment.
Just as smoothly as when they left, they were also very lucky on their way back to the dormitory from the school history museum, without encountering any patrolling guards.
Someone pulled a small, round nightlight from their pocket and placed it on the dormitory table, finally bringing light to the pitch-black dormitory.
Li Su released their hands and looked at the small nightlight on the table.
Although the nightlight was dim, Li Su was still a little afraid of being discovered, and asked worriedly, "Should we turn it off? What if someone notices..."
"Don't worry, Su Su, no one will find out. Qi and I just checked it out. After we searched the building, the guards will only patrol outside the dormitory building."
“Oh…” Li Su nodded as if she understood.
Suddenly, a pair of large hands wrapped around her waist. Li Su subconsciously looked down, but her chin was lifted up by a hand in front of her.
"What did Su Su do in the school history museum? Why was she crying so pitifully?"
