Chapter 149 Guardian (VII)
When Su Zeyuan heard Qiao Yuan mention the equipment room, he suddenly realized something. It was obvious that his memory had come back to him, and he thought of what happened in the equipment room before: "Thank you..."
"So can you let go now?" Sheng Guiye's calm voice sounded, interrupting the conversation between Qiao Yuan and Su Zeyuan.
When Su Zeyuan heard Sheng Guiye's voice, he realized that there was another person in the ward. He looked at Sheng Guiye with a confused look, but after understanding the meaning of his words, he quickly looked at his hand and found that he was still holding another person's hand tightly.
And it was obvious that he took the initiative.
Su Zeyuan's expression froze, and a blush quickly spread behind his ears. He hurriedly put away his hand: "Sorry, I don't know what's going on, I..."
Qiao Yuan was waiting for him to say this, and immediately said, "It's okay, you seemed to have had a dream when you were unconscious just now, so you grabbed my hand."
After hearing what Qiao Yuan said, Su Zeyuan was obviously more embarrassed, and he said as if to explain: "I had a nightmare."
Qiao Yuan: "What nightmare?"
Su Zeyuan: "I didn't do well in the college entrance examination."
For a senior high school student, it is quite normal to have such a dream, and shyness occupied most of Su Zeyuan's expression at this moment, so Qiao Yuan did not see any signs of lying for the time being.
And Su Zeyuan's intravenous drip was finally completed.
Fortunately, although the school doctor was in panic, he still had a natural muscle memory of removing the needle.
Su Zeyuan also realized that something was wrong with the school doctor, and asked in confusion, but got no answer. After the school doctor left, he turned his gaze to Qiao Yuan and Sheng Guiye and asked again.
Qiao Yuan chose a compromise statement: "When you were unconscious just now, a strange person in school uniform suddenly rushed into the school hospital, but he did not cause any harm and was taken away by the police and doctors."
Su Zeyuan obviously thought he was some crazy student and did not continue to ask questions. He just looked guilty and said, "I'm sorry, if you hadn't been with me, this wouldn't have happened to you."
Joe wished he knew that he was mistaken in thinking that he was frightened by the incident.
Guilt is undoubtedly the best way to close the distance, so Qiao Yuan reacted quickly, lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes trembled: "It's okay, we can't just watch you stay alone in the school hospital."
Su Zeyuan's face showed a mixture of emotion and guilt, and his features softened.
When leaving the school hospital, Qiao Yuan ran into Officer Ling in the lobby. He had received a phone call and looked much more serious. Because he deliberately lowered his voice, Qiao Yuan could only hear vague words such as "dead", "bruised", and "no worm holes were found on the body".
Qiao Yuan understood that it seemed to be just as she had thought before, the strange man who was suspected to be Wang Hao was indeed dead.
The bruises on the opponent's body should have been caused by the beating caused by Song Yanchi and his men at that time. Although the opponent's body was full of bugs, no bug holes were found on his body.
When Officer Ling saw Qiao Yuan and his group approaching from the corner of his eye, he did not forget to remind Qiao Yuan and others not to tell anyone what had just happened to avoid causing a commotion.
Qiao Yuan nodded obediently on the surface, but in fact he sighed to the system in his heart: "I didn't expect there are policemen in this world."
It's no wonder Qiao Yuan was so surprised. After all, according to the complaints she had seen from players on the forum, the number of police officers appearing in the dungeon was not very high. Some were due to location restrictions, such as players being dropped into remote deserted islands or hidden villages and towns, and some were due to ghosts or game restrictions, such as the end of the world she had experienced before, where order was destroyed.
Generally, when the police show up, either the copy is about to end or the player has already died.
However, Qiao Yuan has never had any dealings with the police in the real world. After all, she does not sleep but pays taxes and abides by the law. Even her haters and marketing accounts can only find her weaknesses from a moral perspective and cannot attack her legally.
The system obviously thought of this as well and fell silent, thinking that the other party would not even run red lights when crossing the road in the real world and would always wear a seat belt when riding in a car. He was the most rule-abiding player it had ever met.
Of course, these are the rules of the real world.
Su Zeyuan originally wanted to treat Qiao Yuan and Sheng Guiye to a meal as a thank you, but found that it was past dinner time, so he could only offer to take them to the school supermarket to buy some things as a thank you. He did not forget that there were other people who saved him at the time, and it seemed that they were with Qiao Yuan and others, so he also wanted Qiao Yuan to help pass it on.
But of course it was rejected by Qiao Yuan and Sheng Guiye. After all, they didn't need it.
The evening self-study class had not yet ended, so Su Zeyuan was going to go back for the evening self-study class, and Qiao Yuan and Sheng Guiye naturally followed him. Qiao Yuan did not give up this good opportunity to chat on the way, and kept looking for topics to chat with the other party.
Su Zeyuan answered part of the questions and just glossed over the rest. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk more, but it was enough for Qiao Yuan.
When they passed the green belt on the way, a little wild cat ran out. The kitten looked very small, and it was wobbly when it walked, making people worry that it would fall down while walking, but it still ran over and rubbed Su Zeyuan's trouser legs affectionately.
Su Zeyuan subconsciously looked at Qiao Yuan and Sheng Guiye beside him, and after making sure that there was no disgust or impatience on their faces, he leaned over and gently stroked the kitten's head with his fingertips, explaining to them that this was a kitten he had just found when he came to school. When he heard from his classmates that the mother cat was accidentally beaten to death by the security guard, he took on the responsibility of secretly feeding the kitten.
The safest way is to send the kitten home. His parents also like small animals and can take good care of them. However, this school has been on vacation for months, and the college entrance examination is approaching, so he can only wait until after the college entrance examination to take the kitten home.
Seeing the kitten lying on the ground with its belly exposed after being touched by Su Zeyuan, Qiao Yuan also bent down and squeezed the kitten's paw while sorting out the kitten's life experience and portrait in his mind.
Su Zeyuan previously attended high school in another province, but his household registration was in this city. In addition, his parents changed jobs and returned from another province, so he simply followed his parents to transfer back. However because the transfer time was short and it was already the countdown to the college entrance examination, everyone was not in the mood to make friends, so Su Zeyuan's relationship with his classmates was very weak.
In contrast, Su Zeyuan only knew his classmates by sight.
Su Zeyuan has a gentle personality, a strong sense of justice, and is very loving.
She has already figured out how to quickly gain the other party's trust.
Su Zeyuan hid the kitten in the bushes again before getting up and continuing to walk towards the classroom with Qiao Yuan and Sheng Guiye.
The three of them separated at the classroom door.
Qiao Yuan and Su Zeyuan were in the same classroom, so they entered the classroom together.
Just as the school doctor said, the school has been really strict about evening self-study recently. When the two of them went in, they happened to run into the female teacher who was sitting on the podium watching the self-study.
Because the player had already given the two of them leave notes, the teacher did not make things difficult for them. She simply asked a few questions about Su Zeyuan's health, let the two of them sit back, and then reminded the students who were looking over here to lower their heads and read their books, and not to look at others casually.
Those who looked at Qiao Yuan and Su Zeyuan were not only some curious classmates, but mostly players.
When the players saw Su Zeyuan appear in front of them intact, they were obviously relieved.
Qiao Yuan glanced around and found that Su Zeyuan was several rows away from her. The player who had just entered the game and ran away had not returned yet, and the books that had been piled on the table had also been cleared away.
She knew that in this situation, the other party was in great danger and was probably being treated as refusing to play the game. For people in this situation, the system would directly erase their presence in the game.
Now it seems that there are only nine players entering the game, including her.
Qiao Yuan didn't sit in the classroom for long, as the bell for the end of get out of class soon rang.
Because it is a full-boarding school, the dormitories are located on the campus. Therefore, after the bell rings, except for the teachers, most people remain in the classroom. Some gather in groups of three or four to chat and relieve boredom, while others discuss a problem they don't know how to solve.
Of course, there are also people who sit quietly in the back seats.
Su Zeyuan was the latter. He was looking down at the book seriously.
The players from the next class also came over after class. The noise of four or five people coming in together attracted some students to look over curiously, but Su Zeyuan didn't even raise his head.
Several players finally gathered at Yang Zhe's seat in the back row of the classroom.
When hearing Qiao Yuan's story about the strange man who suddenly broke into the hospital, many players' faces changed. They felt their scalps tingling because of the scene he described. They didn't even have time to marvel at fact that they could call the police in the dungeon.
Some players held good expectations and asked cautiously: "Did you see it wrong?"
Qiao wants to clear his name: "My naked eye vision is 5.0."
Although she often encountered situations in the dungeon where she needed to see things in dim light, fortunately she was able to repair the situation after leaving the dungeon.
Sheng Guiye spoke up at this time: "I saw it too."
After hearing Sheng Guiye’s words, the player’s last glimmer of hope was shattered.
Yang Zhe quickly turned his attention to another question: "So you think that person looks like Wang Hao?"
"But if it was him, why? Doesn't he have three younger brothers? Where did those three go?"
A player from Class 193 said hesitantly, "So, Wang Hao is definitely not at the evening study session today..."
"But he doesn't seem to attend classes very often."
As a few people were discussing, they heard the sound of footsteps outside the classroom, indicating that someone was coming in a hurry.
The other party was indeed anxious. Before he arrived, his voice had already come, spreading throughout the classroom like a loudspeaker: "A police car has entered the school. I heard that three bodies were found in one place..."
"It seems like they are all Wang Hao's followers."
The news not only exploded in the players' ears like thunder, but also quickly spread in the classroom, making the entire classroom as lively as boiling water. Even the students who were originally reading with their heads down raised their heads.
