Chapter 140 She and the Forum
Qiao Yuan woke up in his hotel room.
The first thing she did after opening her eyes was to look at the wall. When she didn't see her own shadow at first glance, she was subconsciously startled, until she realized that it was because the angle of the overhead light was wrong. After adjusting it, as her shadow reappeared on the wall, her tense heartstrings finally relaxed.
The system's voice sounded, indicating that because there were still players in the copy, the additional tasks could not be settled at the moment. Qiao Yuan responded to show his understanding.
What immediately came to her mind was Yu Guo's previous words. According to her and the system's guess, the other party was very likely related to the black rose.
Either in the game or in reality.
Just then, the phone on the bedside table vibrated a few times, indicating that several messages had been sent.
Qiao Yuan's thoughts were interrupted and his hand subconsciously reached for the cell phone.
Because of what happened a few times when she just came out of the dungeon, she subconsciously looked over her phone whenever there was any movement. When she opened it, she found that it was a message from Sister Jiang.
Every time Qiao Yuan sees the message from Sister Jiang after completing a dungeon, his eyebrows can't help but twitch. Fortunately, the message sent by Sister Jiang this time has nothing to do with the hot search.
She had spent nearly a month in the dungeon, and in the real world it was already the next morning. However, Qiao Yuan had chosen a holiday to enter the dungeon, so she didn't have to rush to attend announcements or go to the crew. However, the announcements after the holiday had to be arranged in advance, so Sister Jiang sent a message to discuss this with her.
The other party is currently in the company, so I contacted her directly via mobile phone.
As a veteran agent, Sister Jiang's work ability is naturally outstanding. She arranged everything after only communicating with Qiao Yuan for more than ten minutes.
After finishing the conversation with Sister Jiang, Qiao Yuan opened the chat box with Song Yanchi again. After all, they were in a team together to enter the dungeon, so she did not forget to send a message to ask Song Yanchi what was going on.
Although she and Song Yanchi had separated at that time, Qiao Yuan still had some confidence in Song Yanchi's abilities.
It turned out to be true. Not long after she sent the message, she received a reply from Song Yanchi. Just by looking at the message from the other party, Qiao Yuan seemed to have seen the excited puppy shaking its head on the other side of the phone screen.
Because they were in the real world, the two could not mention too much about the copy content, so after a brief chat, they quickly turned to the forum.
After logging onto the forum, Qiao Yuan discovered that the forum had reopened, and an idea occurred to him. However, because Song Yanchi was still waiting, Qiao Yuan decided to finish chatting with him first.
Song Yanchi came out of the dungeon a little later than Qiao Yuan because of the fight with his own shadow. He saw the message from Qiao Yuan right after he came out of the dungeon. He couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he learned that the other party was fine. After all, he remembered that Qiao Yuan was taken away by that dangerous shadow.
Although he firmly believed that nothing would go wrong with Qiao Yuan's level, he couldn't help but feel worried.
Zao: [Sister, there is something wrong with Yu Guo]
[At that time, she dug out the eyes of a shadow that occupied the player's body]
What surprised Song Yanchi was of course not the fact that Yu Guo took action, but the other party's method.
He still remembered that when the formation suddenly failed, the players naturally took the opportunity to fight back, and Yu Guo was one of them. He and Yu Guo were not far away, so he clearly saw that the other party was face to face with a player who was possessed by a shadow.
Compared to the player, Yu Guo was obviously much smaller and had some wounds on her body. But she kicked the player's knee directly, and with a crisp sound from the knee, the player wailed in pain and fell in front of Yu Guo.
Yu Guo first inserted his fingers directly into the man's eyes, and then turned them around like stirring minced meat. Then he put his arms around the man's neck and broke his cervical vertebrae.
It is normal to kill a player whose body is occupied by a shadow, but it is very strange for someone like Yu Guo to make the opponent suffer before death.
The most important thing was the murderous intent that appeared on Yu Guo’s face at that time.
You know, even when they met the infected person before, Yu Guo did not show such an expression, so Song Yanchi naturally thought that the other party had been acting in front of them.
However, although he didn't know that Yu Guo came for Qiao Yuan, this did not prevent Song Yanchi from thinking of how well-behaved she had been in front of Qiao Yuan before, so he couldn't help but remind her.
Qiao Yuan became more and more certain that Yu Guo’s identity in the real world was also not simple.
After exiting the chat box, she opened the forum and looked at the red posts. Her expression paused. After all, the names in the titles of several posts were very familiar.
Since he had plenty of time, Qiao Yuan clicked on them one by one and started reading.
These posts are naturally related to this copy, because this copy has been discussed quite a lot in the forum, and Qiao Ying, as the shadow who almost destroyed the entire copy with his own power, has his name appear in the titles of several posts.
After seeing these posts, she realized that what her shadow had done had also spread to the forum. Many people in the forum had experienced the ups and downs of no God, God, and no God. If God had not appeared in the end, I'm afraid some people would have believed that God was the one controlling the infected and the base. There was even a post specifically counting the number of people who had been deceived by Qiao Ying.
Qiao Yuan was very calm about this. After all, this was Qiao Ying's doing and it had nothing to do with her.
Of course, there are also posts saying they were deceived by Qiao Yuan:
——At that time, I really thought that even Qiao Yuan was in despair
——I also thought it was a total annihilation ending
——I watched that live broadcast and remember it very clearly. Many comments also thought that this instance was going to end, but they didn’t expect that there would be a sudden turn.
——So Qiao Yuan did it on purpose?
——It should be. She was not surprised at all when she saw the Saint in trouble.
——Ah, I was cheated
——Qiao Ying: It’s okay, me too
——Although Qiao Ying failed, I still like it very much
——Handshake upstairs, I feel the same way, I thought I was the only one who felt this way
——But to be honest, I would rather fight my own shadow in close combat than encounter a shadow like Qiao Ying.
——Of course, no matter how injured your body is, you can heal it after you get out of the dungeon.
——I feel like I would rather face the evil ghost than face Qiao Ying
——Luckily I didn’t enter this instance, otherwise I don’t know if I could get out
…
Of course, there are also some people who think that Qiao Yuan’s shadow is harming players and therefore insult Qiao Yuan, but most of these people are newbies, and their remarks are also sprayed back by other players in the forum. Many of them are not fans of Qiao Yuan, but are old players.
As people who have experienced several or even dozens of copies, they all know that the copy world is a place where the strong prey on the weak. Even if Qiao Ying is not there, there will be other monsters.
Others focused on discussing whether Qiao Ying's final ritual was really useful. After all, some people noticed the changes in Qiao Yuan's pupils at the time:
——So was Qiao Ying really going to succeed at that time?
——Then Qiao Yuan almost became a god
——To be precise, it was Qiao Ying, after all, it was about to kill someone
——I don’t think it will necessarily succeed, after all, Hammos also summoned something at that time, and the result was emmm
——Maybe, but the ceremony was interrupted midway, and no one knows what the final result will be.
…
Looking at these comments, Qiao Yuan recalled the wonderful feeling she had when she was lying on the magic circle. She knew that if Qiao Ying had killed her at that time, she would have had the possibility of becoming a god.
Unfortunately, the opponent is still one step behind.
In addition to her and Qiao Ying's names frequently appearing in discussions about this copy, the names of several other players also appeared in the discussion.
Among them is the remaining fruit.
As viewers of the live broadcast, they saw much more of what Yu Guo did than Song Yanchi did, and they were more aware of the other party's cruelty:
——Yu Guo is more vindictive than I thought. When everyone was running away, one of Sun Ji's men ran into her, but she still did not forget to trick him into going to the infected side and let the infected take action. It seems that the player was confused when he was tricked, and he didn't know why.
——She explained the reason. It was because the player looked at her with lustful eyes, and she didn’t like it.
——This seems understandable
——Then after the player died and turned into a corpse, she smashed his head, and the brains flowed out.
——???
——Because the player’s corpse is not protected by the game
——The game doesn’t even protect the living, let alone the dead
——Yu Guo is this kind of person, she pretends to be very good in front of others. I have been in the same dungeon with her, and I witnessed her hanging an NPC upside down in order to obtain useful information, and the rope was only tied to ten toes, and if he didn't answer, she would cut one rope.
——? This is too cruel. Why didn't anyone say anything about it before?
——No one believed it. I was the only one who saw it. She pretended to be very good in front of other people. She also threatened me not to tell anyone, otherwise the fate of the NPC would be my fate. I have only now come out of the shadow she brought to me.
——Luckily she picked up a gun, so she didn't have to do it herself, otherwise I was really worried that she would just dismantle the body
——Her shadow was also crazy, almost twisting her limbs into knots, but she was able to continue moving and killed the shadow just like that
——No, to be more precise, Shadow still had a few breaths left. I thought he had a change of heart, but it turned out that he went to kill Qiao Yuan.
——So why did she want to kill Qiao Yuan? Didn’t they get along well before?
——It seems to be because of the Weibo issue. I am checking Qiao Yuan’s Weibo now and I didn’t find anything strange. However, this sister’s selfie is exactly the same as the real person in the live broadcast. Is it that she didn’t photoshop the pictures at all?
After discovering that this post did not reveal much information about Yu Guo’s identity, Qiao Yuan thought about it and contacted Song Yanchi again.
Song Yanchi always responded to Qiao Yuan's messages within seconds, and this time was no exception. After receiving the message from Qiao Yuan, he agreed immediately, even more impatient than Qiao Yuan.
After Qiao Yuan was dressed and covered tightly, he went downstairs. A black Maybach was already parked outside the hotel. The window of the back seat slowly dropped as Qiao Yuan appeared, revealing a handsome face wearing sunglasses.
Although Qiao Yuan pretended to be a fake, Song Yanchi instinctively knew it was her: "Sister, get in the car."
“Is this car low-key enough?”
He still remembered the message sent by Qiao Yuan, asking him to keep a low profile.
