Chapter 67: Evil God (Twenty-nine)
However, before this, Qiao Yuan had never mentioned this matter at all, or was it that the other party had just joined the organization not long ago?
He subconsciously thought to himself that it might be the latter, and his mood improved a lot. He decided to give Qiao Yuan a chance to explain.
Fortunately, the answer Qiao Yuan gave him later was similar to what he thought, but she forgot about it because her brother happened to be injured at that time.
Of course He wouldn't blame Qiao Yuan.
It's that younger brother again.
He didn't have any special feelings before, but now he realized that this brother appeared in Qiao Yuan's words quite frequently, and three out of twenty sentences were about him. And most importantly, this brother and Qiao Yuan were closer than he thought. Not only did they sit so close, but why did the other party look at Qiao Yuan all the time?
Besides, is there anything that needs to be said so closely in public?
Some people also said that Qiao Yuan and her brother had no blood relationship, and she had not paid much attention to this brother when they were separated by the screen, but now it seems that they do not look alike.
Because Qiao Yuan did not recognize him, he could stay in the organization and observe him openly, and watch Qiao Yuan die in an unknown corner before he revealed his identity. However, he did not expect that he would soon discover an important problem -
Although he had guessed that Qiao Yuan was outstanding among the ants when he saw her appearance, he still underestimated how popular she was. However, in just a few days, he couldn't remember how many times he had heard ants discussing Qiao Yuan, with so-called love in their words that made him feel disgusted.
Aren't these ants supposed to have moral standards? Why are they still coveting people who have boyfriends?
Oh, yes, they didn't know.
Qiao Yuan did not tell these people that she had a boyfriend. It was He who specifically instructed Qiao Yuan to hide His existence from others. The original intention was to prevent others from recognizing His identity through WeChat and ruining the game between him and Qiao Yuan. He was worried about Qiao Yuan's execution level before, but he did not expect that the other party would execute it better than he imagined, hiding Him so tightly that it gave other ants hope and even imagined a future that belonged to them and Qiao Yuan.
He: “…”
He remembered clearly that Qiao Yuan's plan did not include these so-called ants, but only him. Although he knew that these ants were just being sentimental, it still made him unhappy.
However, because he did not want to reveal his identity, he could not tell these ants that he was Qiao Yuan's boyfriend. He could only watch them add Qiao Yuan's contact information, but he did not want to reveal that he was also in the organization, nor could he mention this matter in front of Qiao Yuan.
Before, when Qiao Yuan didn’t contact him, his first reaction was that the other party didn’t know what to do, but now that Qiao Yuan doesn’t contact him, his first reaction is whether Qiao Yuan is chatting with other ants.
She is so easy to deceive, and those ants are so cunning. What if she is deceived?
In his mind, he could not help but imagine the scene in which Qiao Yuan was holding an ant with a blurry face in his left hand, with a younger brother clinging to his right, and sending him a message to break up.
He: “…”
A surge of murderous intent suddenly arose. He had already thought of how to torture that ant with a blurry face. As for Qiao Yuan...
She couldn't die yet.
It wasn't until Qiao Yuan sent a message that the strange scene in his mind finally dissipated. The message from the other party was normal, and the expected word "break up" did not appear, which made him finally breathe a sigh of relief.
But when Qiao Yuan didn't contact him again, he couldn't help but think about who Qiao Yuan was chatting with. This went on over and over again, but it didn't get better with time. Instead, it got worse and worse. Every time, he felt that time was long.
Even when he was able to see Qiao Yuan offline, he did not relax much just because he saw him in person. After all, he also had to watch him communicate closely with other people, some of whom happened to be the ants who wanted to pursue Qiao Yuan.
Fortunately, He soon got the opportunity.
When a new task was released, Qiao Yuan also had to participate in the task. It was not difficult for him to modify the questions when the papers were distributed, so he was able to modify a few questions at will and followed him into the task. If Qiao Yuan was in danger, he could also help.
Question 1: If her boyfriend and younger brother fall into the water, which one would Qiao Yuan choose to save?
This was a question he had seen on the Internet before. He thought he would forget it after just one glance, but he didn't expect that this was the first question he thought of when he was assigned the assignment.
Looking at Qiao Yuan standing in the water, he who was hiding in the dark did not realize that his heartstrings had already been tightened unconsciously. The probability that Qiao Yuan would choose to save him was very high, after all, Qiao Yuan once said that he could not live without him.
However, the ghost who played Song Yanchi struggled more violently in the water than the ghost who played Him, and his cries were more miserable. Would this affect Qiao Yuan's judgment?
I don’t know if it was because the ghost who played him noticed his thoughts, but he finally started to perform very hard, even surpassing the ghost who played Song Yanchi.
very good.
He thought, now it was clear who to choose. With Him around, Qiao Yuan would be safe no matter who he chose.
However, before he could feel relieved, he found that Qiao Yuan had turned around and swam towards the beach.
He:?
What's wrong with this direction?
The two ghosts obviously had the same doubts, and one of them even pointed out the direction, but it still couldn't stop Qiao Yuan's determined figure as he turned around and swam towards the shore, and he even swam faster.
Then he watched Qiao Yuan get ashore and call for help, and he fell into silence.
In the following questions, He was thinking about one question: Why didn't Qiao Yuan choose Him?
After leaving the examination room, the question still had no answer. He decided to search for the answer online as he had done before, after all, like should understand like better.
Unlike the last time, no ant had asked this question before, but this did not bother Him. After he asked the question online like other ants did, and posted a huge reward to promote it directly on the homepage, he soon received hundreds of replies.
He read quickly, so he finished reading the replies quickly.
——So much money...Look at it from a bright side, although she didn't save you, she also didn't save her brother.
He: “…”
This is indeed...
No, how can He be compared to an ant?
His identity is different from that of his younger brother.
--point
He:? Break up?
The answer is irrelevant, and the other party's account is directly cancelled
——Ah, maybe the situation was too dangerous at the time. She judged that there was no way to save people. After all, it was the sea.
When he thought about it, it was indeed possible. If he had known earlier, he should have fallen into the lake.
——It’s just a simple feeling, the questioner is so rich, just find another one
This ant didn't even read the title. He had clearly written in advance that Qiao Yuan liked him very much, but he still cancelled the other party's account.
——Why don't you just ask the person involved what they think? We are not her. If the questioner feels embarrassed, I don't think the relationship between you two is like that of an ordinary couple. I suggest you just break up.
Why does he always ask for a breakup? It's not that he is embarrassed to ask, but he can't ask. He doesn't like what this ant says, so he might as well just delete his account.
…
——After observing for a while, I found that the poster either folded or reported all the answers about breaking up. I am speechless. I don't think he is here to seek advice at all. He just likes to hear excuses for her. Brother, please don't love him too much.
like?
His eyes fell on this comment and he sneered in his heart. How could he fall in love with Qiao Yuan?
Perhaps what the other party said was too ridiculous. Although the ant didn't know his identity, he decided to clear his name before canceling the other party's account: "I don't love him, I just have other purposes."
Unexpectedly, there were many more replies to his comment:
——Isn’t this love?
——If you don't love her, why do you care about this? If you have other purposes, why do you care who she likes?
He: “…”
What is love? Why do these ants always talk about it?
That is of course because of His purpose...
Wait, what is His purpose?
At this moment, He realized a serious problem. He could not remember the purpose of approaching Qiao Yuan. However, to this day, He still remembered the ending of a random game hundreds of years ago.
Don't you care?
This must be the case. After all, how could fall in love with an ant?
Although they were separated by the Internet, these ants seemed to know what He was thinking, replying one after another:
- Come on, brother, if you want to lie to your buddy, don't lie to yourself. Do you dare to say that you haven't been thinking about her all the time, worrying about her safety, and being curious about her every move? When you see her with the opposite sex, you don't toss and turn and wish all your rivals would disappear?
——If I want the bounty, I should follow your meaning and say "she loves it so much", but I am trying to save my reputation, so I have to tell the truth, brother, no matter what your original purpose was, you are finished, you have fallen in love
——I didn't expect the question to turn in this direction. Isn't it said that the depth of love can be measured by losing a person? If you really want to know whether you love someone or not, you can imagine what you would do if she was with someone else or died, and there was no such person in your life anymore.
His eyes fell on the last reply.
Would Joe rather be with someone else or die?
What then should He do?
In the former case, He could kill the ant that took Qiao Yuan away, but in the latter case...
He can create death at will, or in ant terms, control the power of life and death. So the simple death of ants has made Him feel bored, and He still prefers the reactions of these ants under various death threats.
But He couldn't reverse death. If Qiao Yuan really died, even He...
No, wasn't His original intention to make Qiao Yuan die in despair?
When He realized this, He discovered His own contradiction for the first time.
All of His physiological structures now imitated those of ants. Strictly speaking, His heart was just a decoration, and there was no such thing as a heartbeat. But when the scene of Qiao Yuan's death appeared in His mind, His first reaction was resistance, followed by a vibration from His heart, which swept over like a tsunami, and after it faded, it still left behind a bloody wound and the lingering wet pain.
Whenever he thought that Qiao Yuan might die like those ants before, the pain vibrated in his heart like an aftershock.
This is a feeling I have never had before.
His eyes fell on the screen, and he realized that while he was distracted, there were actually a lot more replies. In an instant, the screen was full of the word "love", clearly reminding him -
He fell in love with Qiao Yuan.
It wasn't too late when Qiao Yuan and Song Yanchi returned to the classroom for rest, but they didn't expect that soon after they came back, dark clouds covered the sky outside and muffled thunder rumbled. It didn't look like it was going to rain, but rather like dark clouds or thunder would fall in the next second and destroy the school.
Others obviously noticed this as well, and messages in the group started coming one after another.
Now there are only about 800 people in the group. Those who have survived until now are much stronger in both ability and state of mind than before. Some people have gradually become low-key and no longer speak in the group as often as before, but at this moment the group is unusually lively again. Because they know that even if they ask the group owner, the other party will not reply, so no one asks anymore, but intuitively discusses in the group:
——What’s going on? I don’t even dare to walk around the campus.
——I didn’t dare to, so I went back immediately
——Does this mean the group leader doesn’t want to play anymore and is ready to destroy the entire school?
——Did someone use any props?
——At this scale, they must be the top three people in terms of health value.
——Fellow Daoist He Fang is here to overcome the tribulation
…
When he heard the thunder, Qiao Yuan actually had the same feeling as the last one.
She is still struggling on the brink of life and death, and someone here has already started practicing Taoism?
Fortunately, this abnormality only lasted for a while, and soon the sky brightened again. Although the reason was unknown, the discussion in the group also subsided after dawn.
Although Qiao Yuan was very confused about the test paper, after failing to find the answer for a while, she decided to put it aside for the time being. It seemed that it would not help in finding Him anyway.
Qiao Yuan felt that Song Yanchi and Xieshen were much quieter today. This was reflected in the fact that after Song Yanchi came back tonight, he did not start listing the 99 reasons why she should not get close to Li Wu and others as he usually did when he returned to the classroom, and did not persuade her that she needed a copy agent. Instead, he just sat aside, not knowing what he was thinking about.
The same is true for the evil god. Recently, the frequency of his active messages has increased a lot, which makes Qiao Yuan suspect that he is preparing to speed up the deception. Regardless of seeing that the other party's daily life points have been recorded, it doesn't matter whether he sends messages or not.
She is chatting with Nan Keke.
Although he also added Nan Yuan's WeChat, the two of them only communicated when there was new news, so the one she chatted with the most was Nan Keke. Nan Keke was a person who loved to chat, so Qiao Yuan already knew that in the real world, she had to sit in a wheelchair because of a car accident when she was a child, and her parents had to run around to earn her medical expenses, leaving her brother to take care of her.
Later, the two were pulled into the dungeon at the same time. It was Nan Yuan who teamed up with her and helped her clear the dungeons again and again. The two had originally hoped to make a wish for Nan Keke to stand up after they had passed the nightmare game, but they had unexpectedly achieved their goal in this dungeon, and the effect could very well be brought outside the game.
Nan Keke was naturally very excited to be able to stand up again after more than ten years. She also excitedly said that she had long been eyeing several game projects in the amusement park, but she couldn't play them before because she was in a wheelchair. She also met several friends in this dungeon, and Qiao Yuan was one of them.
Having experienced all kinds of intrigues in the entertainment industry and in dungeons, Qiao Yuan still likes to chat with simple-minded people like Nan Keke.
She also learned from Nan Keke that the brother and sister once encountered a player whose pollution level reached 70%, who told them that he could clearly feel his organs rotting, and because his organs were gradually stopping functioning, he could no longer eat.
The body that was originally used to store the soul now seemed to have become a cage that imprisoned the soul, making him feel like he was buried alive in the soil, and he could clearly feel his body rotting away bit by bit. He didn't have the courage to commit suicide, so he could only use all his health points to hire two people to find an NPC to kill him.
Nan Yuan's pollution level has reached 50%. After discovering that the mission would increase the pollution level, Nan Yuan rarely let Nan Keke participate, but asked her to find a safe place to take him, so Nan Keke's pollution level was only 30%. Although Nan Yuan did not say it, Nan Keke could feel that Nan Yuan's body seemed to be changing. After a few days of replenishment, the two had accumulated some health points, but the food Nan Yuan needed was getting less and less.
Qiao Yuan knew that he would not be able to escape if the pollution level was greater than 80%, but he did not expect that the mutation would begin so early.
Her pollution level also increased a little. Although there was nothing unusual inside her body, she was still alert.
Qiao Yuan called the system in his heart: [System, when I leave this instance, the pollution level should no longer exist, right?]
System: [Yes.]
After confirming it again, Qiao Yuan felt relieved as long as it didn't affect her real world.
However, this level of pollution is indeed very troublesome. Fortunately, it only exists in this copy. I don’t know if it is related to the evil god.
As soon as she thought of the evil god, she found that the other party had sent a message, but before she could read it clearly, he quickly withdrew it.
Qiao Yuan:?
She remembered that the other party seemed to have withdrawn the message once before, so she was not surprised.
Until the other party withdrew five times.
Qiao Yuan: “…”
What on earth happened that prevented Him from even speaking on the Internet?
Or maybe we could try sending a letter by carrier pigeon.
Fortunately, on the sixth time, the other party finally succeeded in sending a message: [Do you like more people?]
Qiao Yuan didn't know if there was something wrong with his comprehension ability or his language system. It was as if these words were directly translated through a translator. Although he recognized the words, he had no idea what the other party wanted to express.
After reading it over and over again, Qiao Yuan could only reply: [Like]
When you don't understand something, just pick a verb to reply, and you will usually be right.
There was no sound from the other end. Qiao Yuan didn't know whether He didn't see it or saw it but didn't reply.
After finding that the other party did not reply, Qiao Yuan immediately turned her attention to the list. Because she felt that several people in the organization were very suspicious, she temporarily added their contact information and prepared to eliminate them one by one.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, she received another message from Nan Keke: [Sister Qiao Yuan, there seems to be something wrong with Yu Ruzhou]
Yu Ruozhou?
Qiao Yuan was stunned. Since he didn't find any suspicious points on Yu Ruzhou, Qiao Yuan didn't pay much attention to him for the time being. He only knew that he was very close to Li Wu now.
However, Nan Keke and Yu Ruzhou didn’t seem to have any contact, so how did the other party know?
Fortunately, Nan Keke's message came soon after: [A friend I met in this dungeon told me that she and Yu Ruozhou were in the same examination room, and she happened to be sitting behind Yu Ruozhou, and was also organized by us]
[She left after the papers were collected. She still remembered seeing that Yu Ruozhou's paper had not been collected. But she did not expect to see Yu Ruozhou again on campus.]
[Didn't we come here with Yu Ruozhou? Could it be that he is dead and has returned as a ghost?]
Looking at the message sent by Nan Keke, Qiao Yuan couldn't help but frown.
This was indeed strange. After all, Yu Ruozhou's paper was not collected, which meant that he had not finished answering the questions. The person who walked in front of her also did not finish answering the questions. She still remembered the consequences.
But Yu Ruozhou was fine...
Could he be the evil god?
Qiao Yuan remembered that Yu Ruzhou came here with Li Wu at that time, so he opened the chat history with the other party and prepared to ask Li Wu, but he didn't expect that Li Wu also sent a message at this time.
Li Wu: [Sister, Yu Ruozhou wants your contact information. Should I give it to you?]
Although he had a good relationship with Yu Ruozhou, Li Wu still felt that he should first ask Qiao Yuan, the person involved, about the other party's request for Qiao Yuan's contact information. If Qiao Yuan agreed, he would give the contact information.
Qiao Yuan didn't expect that Yu Ruozhou would come to her door just when she was feeling strange. Although she didn't know what the other party wanted her contact information for, Qiao Yuan still signaled Li Wu to give her contact information to Yu Ruozhou, and asked Yu Ruozhou about it.
Sure enough, Li Wu still didn't notice anything unusual. He and Yu Ruzhou were not in the same examination room at that time. They just met on the road after the exam.
Seeing Li Wu's praise and the closeness he showed to Yu Ruzhou, she was worried that if she told Li Wu, the other party would inadvertently leak the information to Yu Ruzhou and arouse the other party's vigilance, so she did not tell Li Wu about the doubts that Nan Keke had discovered for the time being.
Within a few seconds, Qiao Yuan received Yu Ruozhou's friend request. After accepting it, Yu Ruozhou sent a message soon: [Sister, I am Yu Ruozhou. Since Li Wu often calls you sister, I follow suit.]
Qiao Yuan didn't have any special reaction to Yu Ruzhou's address. She just wanted to know why the other party added her.
Qiao Yuan: [It doesn’t matter]
Yu Ruozhou: [That’s good]
[I actually wanted to add you before, but I was worried that you wouldn’t agree]
Qiao Yuan vaguely guessed what the other party wanted to say, but decided to continue watching.
Yu Ruozhou: [Actually, from the first time I saw you, I felt that you looked like someone I know]
