Chapter 256: Online Dating Scam Record (XIX)
There was no response from inside the door.
Behind the bookcase, Guo Guo clenched his teeth. For a moment, he even hoped that his breathing and brain nerves would stop within a few minutes to prevent people outside from using mental control.
Boom boom boom.
The knock on the door sounded again.
"Guoguo?"
Tang Xinjue asked again softly from outside.
"Don't worry, it's me, I'm Tang Xin Jue."
...Thank you. It's you that makes me even more worried.
Guo Guo still didn't say anything.
The other party said not to worry, but never mentioned why he had said during the mental connection that he would not go out, but appeared outside the door on the fifth floor in the blink of an eye.
If Guo Guo was not on guard at all, or not sufficiently guarded, he would definitely ask the other party back at this time.
——This is exactly the thing you should never do!
Because this will only help the other party confirm that she is in this room.
"So he's not here."
After asking several times, there was finally no sound outside the door. But Guo Guo could feel that Tang Xinjue had not left.
The other person was waiting quietly outside the door, as if waiting for her to lose her patience and go out on her own.
But in the deadly silent stalemate, Guo Guo gradually relaxed a little.
She began to realize that the other party seemed unable to enter this door - or perhaps the person outside was afraid of this room. Otherwise, Tang Xinjue could have just pushed the door open and come in to look for the person, instead of fishing outside the door over and over again.
More importantly, during this time, she never felt any pull or fluctuation in her spiritual realm. Was it because the other party didn't use his spiritual power, or was the effect isolated for some reason?
The only source of light in the darkness was the dim light of the phone screen, on which time ticked away, pointing to 5:20.
Anya, the girl who helped Guo Guo skip classes, once emphasized that the effective time for skipping classes could only last until 5:30, and she had to return to the corresponding evening study classroom before the deadline.
She only has ten minutes left now.
Either Tang Xinjue outside the door would leave on his own initiative, or Guo Guo would have to bite the bullet and go out to face it no matter how unwilling he was... For a moment, he couldn't tell which situation was more dangerous.
Just when Guo Guo's heart was in his throat again, a new message popped up on his phone:
[Virtual Lover 211: Dear customers, our store's 100th-day celebration is about to begin. We will be giving away a lot of benefits to new and old customers. Don't miss it if you pass by! (Picture) (Picture)]
Guo Guo: “…”
Didn’t you block me?
Customer Service #1: Sorry, I logged into that account just now, but I forgot to switch it when I recycled it. Would you like to know about the new welfare activities?
Guo Guo: ???
Guo Guo: Is this virtual lover account you? Are you working two jobs at the same time?
[No.] She immediately realized: [You mean account recovery? Did you recover the account of the clerk who was in charge of me?]
Customer Service #1: Yes, customer. We will remove any salesperson who doesn't meet performance standards and have their account reclaimed. This is the platform's policy. If you still wish to continue subscribing to the Virtual Lover service, we can recommend a new salesperson.
...clear?
Despite being in a tense state, Guo Guo still noticed some special information in these sentences: [What happened to the original clerk? ]
【Customer Service No. 1: Don't worry, we have already dealt with it. 】
Guo Guo: ...
I'm sorry, but your choice of words is hardly reassuring, right?
She didn't want to distract herself and continue replying, but the customer service changed their previous cold and shameless attitude and instead started to enthusiastically promote their product:
Are you really not considering participating in our welfare activities or subscribing to a new virtual lover? We have 12% off discounts and upgrade services, and the new lover is guaranteed to satisfy you. As long as you are willing, he can bring you everything you want.
This exaggerated description that is not even used in TV shopping made Guo Guo frown. Can this kind of sales promotion really deceive people?
But when she glanced at it again, she asked for some unknown reason :
【What can I achieve?】
[Can you achieve immortality? ]
Customer Service No. 1: …
Customer Service #1: We recommend that customers make some realistic wishes for their virtual lovers. Of course, as long as it's you who proposes it, your virtual lover will do their best to fulfill it. After all, you paid the corresponding fee, didn't you?
Guo Guo pondered these two sentences twice in his mind, and the speculations he derived from them became increasingly outrageous.
But she still did not act rashly, and still focused on the possibility that the person outside the door could leave as soon as possible.
In any case, her chance to get help from the NPC was subject to a strict time limit, so she didn't believe the other party could wander around outside without restrictions, even if the other party was 90% sure that she was inside.
At least in the past day or so, the other party has not been willing to take even the slightest initiative to advance the situation. How could they be waiting here openly to disrupt the situation?
Two minutes later, it turned out that her bet was right.
The heat from the blood jade pendant quickly subsided, and the intuitive sense of danger vanished along with it. All signs indicated that Tang Xinjue had indeed left.
Even the customer service of the fraud gang who had been harassing and selling products non-stop seemed to know what had just happened, and the messages that were flooding the screen suddenly stopped.
[Customer Service No. 1: If you have any needs in the future, please feel free to purchase services at any time. The door of the virtual lover platform is always open to you.]
Guo Guo: Thank you. I think it’s better for you to turn it off.
She cautiously opened the door and discovered that the hallway lights had been fully illuminated, illuminating the space like daylight. She raised her hand, and the sweat from her palm had soaked through the several forms. Under the light, the small patches of wetness revealed a few familiar names:
[Guo Guo, junior year student… Was he involved in the previous incident (check mark), did he attend evening study sessions (cross mark), did he commit any violations (cross mark)]
[Zhang You, junior…Did you participate in the previous incident (check mark), did you participate in evening self-study (check mark), did you commit any illegal behavior (check mark)]
[Zheng Wanqing…]
Seeing that there were check marks behind the information columns of the other two people except himself, Guo Guo felt increasingly depressed.
The three of them had always been together, only separating since evening self-study. None of her skipped classes and received any infractions, but Zhang You and Wan Qing... what had happened to them?
Looking down, there are rows of unfamiliar student information.
Tang Xinjue's name was indeed not among them.
Guo Guo had already figured it out, so he wasn't surprised. He simply took a photo of the information on his phone, saved it, and put it back unopened before heading towards the blue door of the Academic Affairs Office.
You can escape for a while, but you can't escape forever. She will soon know the specific content of the evening study.
Bang bang bang.
Just in case, Guo Guo knocked twice, and the . There was a rustling sound from inside the door, and after a few seconds, there was a click, and a small crack opened.
Guo Guo's heartbeat gradually increased, his throat rolled twice, and he opened the door and walked in.
However, to her surprise, there were no greasy and weird school leaders or serious-looking teachers inside - the Academic Affairs Office was completely dark and empty.
Did she find the wrong one?
Isn't this her evening study room?
Restraining her panic, she searched the room for a while in the dark according to the seat number indicated on the original note. With the help of the light from her cell phone, she found .
Guo Guo finally felt relieved. He wiped his sweat and was about to sit down when he discovered another problem:
This is obviously a teacher's desk. Behind the long and wide desk is a thick black office chair, which shows its solemnity.
But she came to class to receive education, but she sat in such a position...is it appropriate?
Is this school really right?
