Chapter 176 Guardian (Thirty-four)
Qiao Yuan's first reaction was that Xu Yunchuan was also a student of Changyao Middle School. But not to mention that the hundreds of pages of chat records between Wang Hao and Xu Yunchuan seemed sincere and affectionate, she noticed that the name of Pinggu Middle School was written on the school uniform Xu Yunchuan was wearing, which also meant that the other party was not a student of Changyao Middle School.
In addition, Xu Yunchuan's existence was clearly erased in the previous dream, but now he appears here...
Qiao Yuan has already realized that there is something wrong with Xu Yunchuan in front of him.
She wanted to take Dou Yu away, but she found that her Xu Yunchuan was already walking towards her.
Realizing that Xu Yunchuan had discovered her, and that he was just a few steps away from her, Qiao Yuan finally chose to stay where she was, pretending to be puzzled and asking, "Why are you here?"
His guess came true, and he didn't expect that he would be dragged into the dream without knowing it.
Although Qiao Yuan was still in the dream, He also realized the strangeness of the dream. He originally wanted to bring Qiao Yuan out after getting a positive answer, but what He did not expect was that this was actually a double dream.
He was thinking about how to return to the previous dream, but unexpectedly he met Qiao Yuan here.
He didn't have time to think about why the other party appeared here. After realizing that Qiao Yuan did not seem to be injured, he felt relieved. When he came to his senses, he had already run in front of Qiao Yuan. Unexpectedly, he heard Qiao Yuan's question right after that.
His brain was not slow in this regard: "As soon as I opened my eyes, I found myself here."
"What about you? Do you know where this place is?"
Qiao Yuan did not believe what Xu Yunchuan said. After all, when she saw him just now, the expression on his face did not look like the confusion of someone who had just arrived at this place.
But after realizing that Xu Yunchuan was suspicious, Qiao Yuan certainly couldn't expose him rashly: "I was here as soon as I opened my eyes. I heard that this is Changyao Middle School."
Dou Yu: "...What are you talking about?"
Because she was already dead, her consciousness was more or less affected by the dream. The words of Qiao Yuan and Xu Yunchuan sounded like a difficult question to her.
Xu Yunchuan noticed Dou Yu just now and saw that he was dead. However, because Dou Yu seemed to have a good relationship with Qiao Yuan, he did not take action immediately.
Now……
Although Dou Yu did not sense the murderous intent, when she met Xu Yunchuan's gaze, her inexplicable intuition still made her subconsciously change the subject: "Aren't we going to look for Su Zeyuan?"
After hearing Dou Yu's words, Xu Yunchuan noticed that Su Zeyuan and others were missing from Qiao Yuan's side. It seemed that Su Zeyuan had also come to this dream, and Qiao Yuan was going to look for him.
It's Su Zeyuan again...
Xu Yunchuan's eyes darkened, but he immediately said, "Are you looking for Su Zeyuan? Let's go find him together."
Dou Yu's eyes moved between Qiao Yuan and Xu Yunchuan. She wanted to ask Qiao Yuan who Xu Yunchuan was and why he was going to look for Su Zeyuan. But thinking of the look Xu Yunchuan had given her just now, she subconsciously shut her mouth.
Qiao Yuan's sight also fell on Xu Yunchuan in front of him. After staring at each other for a few seconds, he nodded, and then sighed in his heart and the system: "Now I have two problematic people around me, Dou Yu and Xu Yunchuan, and I have to find Su Zeyuan who also has a problem."
system:【……】
Why does it sound like what humans often call raising insects?
Just like he treated Dou Yu, although he knew that Xu Yunchuan had problems, Qiao Yuan still pretended that he knew nothing and chatted casually like he did with Dou Yu before, but he was thinking about Xu Yunchuan's identity in his heart.
She had previously doubted Xu Yunchuan's identity, thinking that he might be coming for Su Zeyuan, but Xu Yunchuan not only saved Su Zeyuan, but also showed no signs of intending to attack him.
But now it seems...
Qiao Yuan: "Oh no, this guy seems to be coming for me."
System: [Isn’t it because he likes you? ]
When Song Yanchi brought up this topic before, although it did not participate in the discussion, it was online throughout the whole process.
Qiao Yuan: "You can pretend to like someone."
"Like me."
The system wanted to refute, but after hearing Qiao Yuan's words, it fell silent, leaving only Qiao Yuan's thoughtful voice: "Could it be that I have offended you before..."
The first thing she considered was naturally the people or ghosts she had offended in this copy, but she was almost always silently working behind the scenes in this copy, and the ones who mainly stood in the front were the undercover police and Song Yanchi and others. Logically speaking, even if the other party had something to do, they should have come to them, so how could they see through the essence and come to them.
Could it be the person or ghost that was offended in the previous copy?
This range has been narrowed down quite a bit.
After all, although she had made countless enemies before, some of them had been either eradicated or had their minds purified , so there were actually not many people or ghosts for her to suspect.
Then exclude those who are dead or half-dead, and those who have the ability to track here...
Qiao Yuan: "...Can you tell where the evil god is now?"
System: [? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?]
At first, it was wondering why Qiao Yuan asked this question, but it quickly realized: [You are not doubting...]
Qiao Yuan said in a sad tone: "That's right."
"I suspect this Xu Yunchuan is most likely Him."
system:【……】
Its silence this time was not because it was speechless, but because it was simply shocked to the point of being speechless.
Because she had promised the other party that the evil god would never be able to find her, the system helped her apply to her superiors and temporarily open up the authority.
After a while, a cautious mechanical voice sounded in Qiao Yuan's ears: [Congratulations to the player for guessing correctly. ]
Qiao Yuan: "? What are you congratulating?"
"What now?"
System: [Release it in the form of a good news report, it is more likely to be accepted by you. 】
[Although I don't know why this happened, don't worry. When the mission is completed, I will teleport you out as soon as possible and will do my best to make up for it...]
Although the system assured Qiao Yuan, it itself was not at ease. After all, everything that happened before its eyes was beyond its expectations. It really did not expect the other party to catch up. It had anticipated Qiao Yuan's reaction. Although the other party usually did not show emotions on his face, in this situation, it was inevitable that he would feel angry or hopeless.
Unexpectedly, after getting the answer, Qiao Yuan's mood was extremely calm. The system didn't know what Qiao Yuan was thinking, but it had an inexplicable feeling that a storm was about to come.
All it can do now is to appease Qiao Yuan and report to the higher-ups.
Qiao Yuan listened to the system and realized that even an intelligent AI like the other party still had a long way to go before it could disguise itself as a human. After all, it didn't seem to have any human nature.
Another main reason why she could remain calm now was because for her, the known was always better than the unknown. And at least according to the other party's character, it was impossible to kill her all at once, so she still had a lot of room to survive.
As for the system and the game...
Qiao Yuan could only say that both would die, but she would not.
Here, Dou Yu, with a team of one person and one non-human, finally arrived at the classroom floor where they were before.
As soon as she reached the stairs, Qiao Yuan noticed countless eyes falling on her.
Xu Yunchuan and Dou Yu had the same feeling.
Dou Yu looked around nervously, and it was Xu Yunchuan who spoke up: "It seems to be in the classroom."
Following the direction he was looking, Qiao Yuan also saw his classmates sitting in the classroom. Unlike the previous floor where everyone was sitting in the classroom obediently, someone turned their heads slightly and looked over here through the window. But after Xu Yunchuan looked over, the group of people quickly turned their heads back.
But this is just the beginning.
As they walked forward under the leadership of Dou Yu, more and more people in the classrooms on both sides looked at them. In addition to their classmates, even the teachers on the podium joined the group that looked at them openly.
Looking inside from each window one by one, everything happening in front of me was like a comic strip. Some classmates were already standing at the door, looking out through the windows.
In the end, countless faces silently crowded in front of the doors and windows, staring at Qiao Yuan and the others without blinking. If you look closely, you can see that the people in the classroom didn't even blink.
The strange scene in front of him made Dou Yu subconsciously hide behind Qiao Yuan, and his voice sounded like he wanted to cry but had no tears: "Why don't they look at the blackboard instead of us? Is there anything written on our faces?"
Qiao Yuan looked around and wondered what was happening before his eyes.
Could it be that the person they are looking for is here?
On the other side, Sheng Yegui and Su Zeyuan were walking forward while looking around.
After Sheng Yegui opened his eyes, he found himself in the radio station of Changyao Middle School. Next to him was Su Zeyuan, who had his eyes closed and seemed to have fainted.
He woke Su Zeyuan up and learned from him that this was the school Su Zeyuan had transferred to before. But judging from Su Zeyuan's appearance, it seemed that the other party didn't know what had happened.
Sheng Yegui consulted the system and confirmed that the mission was still to protect Su Zeyuan, so he took him to find Qiao Yuan. Even though he didn't know where the other party was for the time being, Sheng Yegui guessed that Qiao Yuan should also be looking for Su Zeyuan.
Although they were walking together, the distance between them seemed like it could accommodate another Song Yanchi.
Su Zeyuan has been silent ever since he woke up and answered Sheng Yegui's question. Seeing the other party's absent-minded appearance, Sheng Yegui tried to ask, but failed to find out the reason.
But after walking for a while, Sheng Yegui heard Su Zeyuan's voice: "You like Qiao Yuan, right?"
Hearing Su Zeyuan's words, Sheng Yegui said softly: "You have asked me once before."
"Before? Not really." Su Zeyuan tilted his head in confusion.
Sheng Yegui felt relieved. He said this just to test Su Zeyuan. They had never mentioned this topic before. It seemed that the Su Zeyuan in front of him was real.
Sheng Yegui said calmly: "Sorry, I remembered it wrongly. This is indeed the first time you told me this."
He knew that Su Zeyuan had a good temper and would not take this matter to heart. Sure enough, Su Zeyuan's voice rang out immediately: "It's okay."
"I'm the one who should be sorry."
