Chapter 166 Guardian (Twenty-four)
[So you are a newbie in disguise? Weird, what is there to disguise in this instance? This isn’t a confrontation instance.]
[It could also be that they are just pretending out of habit. After all, some people are like this. Even after returning from dozens of dungeons, they still call themselves newbies.]
[The person who knew Zou Lu, did she also call herself a newcomer at the beginning?]
[No, she said she had been through two dungeons. I later added her forum account and chatted with her a few times, but she suddenly stopped coming online. I thought she died in the dungeon, but I didn't expect to see her again.]
[?! I have a bold idea. Could it be that she died in a certain copy a long time ago and turned into a ghost?]
[How is that possible? You should be able to find her live broadcast room now.]
[Indeed, but I feel that Zou Lu is really scared now, and it doesn’t look like he is pretending. Is he just realizing it after the fact?]
[Maybe, otherwise, could it be that he is afraid of someone present?]
Because of the presence of Su Zeyuan and Xu Yunchuan, Yang Zhe did not explain it very clearly, so the players understood that it was a ghost at work, but to Su Zeyuan and the others, it sounded like a murderer was at work.
As for Yang Zhe and Zou Lu, they quickly ran out while Dai Lele was still playing with Uncle Man's body like a toy.
However, Uncle Man's death made Su Zeyuan look serious: "Student Wang Man, he also..."
"Now that things have come to this, we must get out of here alive." Qiao Yuan's clear and pleasant voice rang out, and Su Zeyuan nodded subconsciously. His originally restless heart finally calmed down.
When Qiao Yuan heard Yang Zhe say that Dai Lele was also on the first floor, an idea had already popped up in his mind, but he shared it with the players separately.
She was originally going to do it herself, but Song Yanchi and Sheng Yegui certainly couldn't just watch her go alone. After some thought, Qiao Yuan finally handed the matter over to Sheng Yegui, who was more cautious.
Sheng Yegui took action first. According to the plan that Qiao Yuan had told him before, he deliberately reached the first floor first, reached a cooperation with Dai Lele, and then took the other party to find Jiang Yue's three ghosts.
Listening to Sheng Yegui's later description, I don't know if it was because he had just killed someone or because of hatred, but when Dai Lele saw the three ghosts that killed him, he was not as scared as he was when he was alive. Instead, he rushed forward and even managed to temporarily tie with the three ghosts.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the ghost Dai Lele was lured away, Qiao Yuan and the others left smoothly through the gate, and then waited for Sheng Yegui to reunite not far away.
The plan was implemented smoothly. After seeing Sheng Yegui appear in front of him, Qiao Yuan's attention turned back to Su Zeyuan.
Su Zeyuan twisted his ankle pretty badly and it's still swollen, so Qiao Yuan and the others planned to take him to see the school doctor first.
After hearing Yang Zhe's promise to call the police, Su Zeyuan was sent to the school hospital with peace of mind. The school doctors on duty at the school hospital were the same two people the players had seen on their first day.
The other party obviously remembered Qiao Yuan, who had experienced the horror . When they saw the familiar configuration behind Qiao Yuan, the familiar memory resurfaced in their minds, and their expressions seemed to freeze for a moment. However, after hearing Song Yanchi say that someone's leg was injured, they reacted quickly and asked Song Yanchi and others to help Su Zeyuan to the bed, and then check Su Zeyuan's injury.
Su Zeyuan had a moderate sprain, and the school doctor originally wanted to give him a note of leave so that he could go to another hospital for better treatment, but Su Zeyuan refused on the grounds that he wanted to continue studying in school and did not want to waste time leaving and returning to school, so the school doctor directly began to help him treat the red and swollen wound.
Yang Zhe was the first to breathe a sigh of relief. After all, Su Zeyuan could take a leave note and go outside for treatment, but they might not be able to get it. It would be difficult to contact him at that time. Moreover, if something happened to Su Zeyuan at that time, it would be difficult for them to rush over in the first time.
Su Zeyuan was not the only one in the ward as before. There were also two students who were lying on the hospital beds and receiving painful intravenous drips because of stomach upsets.
Since the latter had fallen asleep, in order to prevent Qiao Yuan and the others from disturbing these students, the school doctor rushed them to the hospital corridor before the players could find an excuse. However, because the door was open, they could also see Su Zeyuan facing the door.
Qiao Yuan looked at Xu Yunchuan.
When she came out of the Student Activity Center, her attention was all on Su Zeyuan. It was not until now that she realized that Xu Yunchuan had followed her.
Although she couldn't think of a reason why Xu Yunchuan was still here, because he had saved Su Zeyuan before, she still smiled at Xu Yunchuan: "Thank you for saving Su Zeyuan just now."
Xu Yunchuan didn't say anything.
However, although the other party tried hard to conceal it, Qiao Yuan could feel that the moment Xu Yunchuan met her gaze, his eyes trembled with excitement.
He didn't expect that he would have the chance to meet Qiao Yuan again.
Ever since Qiao Yuan disappeared, He embarked on a long journey of searching.
He searched many worlds and met people who looked like Qiao Yuan, but none of them was her, and he could not replace her.
Until this time, He came to this world and occupied a random body. He originally planned to learn about this world as usual and then look for Qiao Yuan, but he didn't expect to see a name on his phone that made Him stunned.
Because of Qiao Yuan, He is now particularly sensitive to any name with the word "Yuan". Although the original owner is dead, due to Yu Ruozhou's previous experience, he has developed habit of subconsciously going over to take a look to make sure that He is the only substitute for A Yuan in all the worlds. In that case, when Qiao Yuan meets Him again, He will be the only one he can choose.
But he didn't expect to meet Qiao Yuan here.
Even though the person in front of him looked a little more immature than the last time they met, he still recognized at first sight that the other person was the one he had been looking for.
However, just as the long-lost ecstasy surged into his heart, he followed Qiao Yuan's gaze and noticed the person standing next to her.
He had previously regarded humans as ants and naturally had never remembered what they looked like, but there were two exceptions.
One is Qiao Yuan and the other is Yu Ruozhou.
Qiao Yuan was the person he loved, and Yu Ruzhou was the person he loved who looked like the person he loved, so much so that he could still remember each other's appearance until now.
So when he saw the boy standing next to Qiao Yuan, his first reaction was to think it was Yu Ruozhou. But when he heard Su Zeyuan's name, he instantly understood who the man in front of him was.
Seeing the doubt in Qiao Yuan's eyes, He could only leave first and then sort out everything that was happening before his eyes.
He might have returned to Qiao Yuan's high school days, or to some other parallel world.
But this is not important to Him. No matter where this world is, as long as Qiao Yuan is there, it will be fine.
And this Su Zeyuan is naturally the person that Qiao Yuan has always been thinking about. After all, when Qiao Yuan looked at Su Zeyuan just now, the worry in his eyes did not seem fake.
For Him , the easiest thing is naturally to replace Su Zeyuan like replacing Yu Ruozhou's soul.
When he arrived at the Student Activity Center and saw Su Zeyuan lying on the ground, he had already decided to use this body to get closer to him.
Su Zeyuan was indeed as Qiao Yuan described, with a naive stupidity. When he was casually pulled up by Him, he was still thanking Him and reminding Him that there was a murderer here.
This made Him understand why Qiao Yuan said that He was like him in the beginning.
He looked at Su Zeyuan, trying hard to suppress the emotion of jealousy.
But fortunately, He is now about to become his true self.
What He didn't expect was that this time He couldn't pull out Su Zeyuan's soul like before. He even tried several times, listening to Su Zeyuan mentioning someone as if he was nervous chatting, and then tried again, but still failed.
It was as if the other party had no soul.
He is more or less suppressed in some worlds, so His first reaction is naturally because of the invisible suppression of this world.
He had never taken this kind of impact to heart before, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
Looking at Su Zeyuan in front of him, He fell into deep thought.
