Chapter 69: Evil God (Thirty-one)
After hearing Qiao Yuan's speculation, Song Yanchi also realized that this matter should not be handled rashly. After all, Yu Ruzhou was obviously much more difficult than any player they had encountered before.
Of course, in return for the information provided by Nan Keke, Qiao Yuan also told Nan Yuan and Nan Keke that Yu Ruzhou might be a player in disguise, and there was a high probability that he was Number One, including the fact that Yu Ruzhou was now approaching him.
Compared to Nan Yuan's brief "hmm" after hearing the news, Nan Keke's reply was much more lively: [Why are you one way in the group and another way offline? You are so inconsistent]
Qiao Yuan can understand Nan Keke's feelings: [After all, no one knows him online, so it's easy for him to let himself go]
Nan Keke understood.
When she mistakenly thought Qiao Yuan was number one, she thought that his online and offline performances were completely different. Unexpectedly, he was not number one, and the real number one was even more hidden. Nan Keke had had a brief contact with Yu Ruozhou before. At that time, she only felt that although he was about the same age as her, he was a little too shy. She was also worried that Yu Ruozhou would have some problems communicating with others. Unexpectedly, he had already secretly contacted Qiao Yuan.
Although they knew Qiao Yuan was not number one, with Yu Ruozhou lurking in danger, Nan Yuan and Nan Keke both focused on him. Nan Yuan and Qiao Yuan shared the same view that they could not reveal the fact that they knew Yu Ruozhou's true identity at this time, otherwise who knows what would happen after tearing off his peaceful disguise. Nan Keke naturally listened to her brother in everything.
Qiao Yuan didn't know what the Nan brothers and sisters were thinking. She actually already had some preliminary ideas on how to deal with Yu Ruzhou. If successful, she might be able to reveal His true identity.
Qiao Yuan replied to Yu Ruzhou and him, the man and the ghost, and then stayed on the chat page with him.
Qiao Yuan: [I met an interesting person recently]
【Reminds me of him】
After sending the message, she received another instant reply. However, the other party had been like this for the past few days, and Qiao Yuan had gotten used to it. She couldn't help but wonder if he had been watching the screen all the time.
Him: [Who?]
[People in the organization? ]
[Isn't he like that A Yuan? ]
After realizing that he had fallen in love with Qiao Yuan, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Good news, He is already with Qiao Yuan.
The bad news is that Qiao Yuan still doesn't know His true identity.
The body of an ant is too fragile to support him for too long. Therefore, although he thought about borrowing this identity and living in this world with Qiao Yuan, he was unable to do so.
If I confess my identity...
From the conversation with Qiao Yuan, he could sense the other party's disgust and fear of his true identity. Before, he naturally thought it didn't matter. After all, the more disgusted and fearful Qiao Yuan was, the more interesting his reaction would be after knowing the truth.
However, the result he had expected at the beginning has now turned into a gap between him and Qiao Yuan. Looking at his own comments in the group, and thinking about the attitude of those ants towards him in the game before, he has deeply understood that it is too late to redeem his image now.
He could stop Qiao Yuan from breaking up, and directly take her away from this world, choose the most suitable place for her to live from countless small worlds, and try to prolong her life, but he could not stop her reaction after knowing the truth. Of course, He could also modify her memory, so that she would have a perfect memory with Him, but this forbidden technique would leave sequelae and affect the soul when used on ants.
He could ignore it when he used it before, but now the target of his use is Qiao Yuan, and even if there is only a tiny probability, he subconsciously doesn't want to try it.
Moreover, He also realized an important problem—
The one Qiao Yuan fell in love with now was not the real Him, but Him who had similar qualities to the ant named A Yuan. He even sent a message in person: [You can think of me as A Yuan]
Now He: “…”
For the first time, the thought “If only time could go back” came to his mind.
Although Qiao Yuan never actively called him by this name later, but every time he replied to a message, was he thinking about Him, or was he looking at A Yuan through Him?
After all, although Qiao Yuan only said a few words when she mentioned A Yuan before, she remembered every detail very clearly, even including what A Yuan liked to eat, what he liked her to do, as well as the places they had been to and some small details.
He reread the chat records between him and Qiao Yuan and learned a piece of good news that he had overlooked at the time -
A Yuan is dead .
Although He could have killed the other person even if he hadn't died before, his early death meant that he had faded out of Qiao Yuan's life earlier, which could be considered as having played his due value.
However, happiness was short-lived. He searched online and soon discovered that A Yuan's existence was more troublesome than he had expected.
According to Ant, whether it is the first love or the first love that died early, if nothing unexpected happens, it will live forever in Qiao Yuan's heart, and the partners he finds in the future will more or less have the shadow of the other person.
And He is the substitute.
With the shadow of A Yuan style.
He fell silent.
It is of course impossible to give up Qiao Yuan. It is also impossible for him to be a substitute for that ant and further deepen the memory of him in Qiao Yuan's heart. He has not fallen to that level yet.
He wants to replace the other person's position in Qiao Yuan's heart.
First, make sure that the race that Qiao Yuan likes is human, and then ask for help on how to replace his first love.
His ambitious plan came to an end when he found the message from Qiao Yuan the next day.
When he saw Qiao Yuan say "like him", he had a rare ominous premonition in his heart, and the name that he hated just yesterday emerged in his mind.
Could it be like that Ayuan?
He immediately became alert, secretly hating how the dead A Yuan had no uniqueness. Not only was there his image, but there were actually other ant images as well, and they were close to Qiao Yuan?
Looks like he's a man?
After expressing his doubts, He thought for a moment and added with humiliation: [Who is more like me or him? ]
Shouldn't He be more like him?
If we really talk about imitation, how could a mere ant possibly be better than Him?
Qiao Yuan did not respond immediately.
In order to make the other party more likely to take action later, she needed to create a sense of crisis for him first. Then she put away her phone as if she hadn't seen it, and went out with Song Yanchi to continue looking for clues about him. She had found several suspicious people in the organization before, but after in-depth contact, they were all ruled out one by one.
She planned to go to the conference room and try to contact more people.
At the same time, she did not forget that He also had a purpose in approaching her. He had been talking to her so frequently recently, and it seemed that he could not hold back any longer. She had to gain more health points before that and find out His identity as soon as possible.
Because many people have used the conference room as their organizational base, there will usually be some people gathering in the conference room even when there is no meeting.
Qiao Yuan was already familiar with many of them, so it was easy for him to find out a lot of information.
At this moment, a noisy sound suddenly came from the door, making the originally noisy meeting room quiet down instantly.
Qiao Yuan looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw Fu Xiuzhu walking into the meeting room.
Even though there are many people around him, Fu Xiuzhu can still be spotted in the crowd at a glance, as if he was born to be the focus of the crowd. His figure is as tall and straight as pine and cypress, and his handsome face does not appear overly sharp or arrogant.
Qiao Yuan had doubted him before, but according to the reactions of Li Wu and other students, Fu Xiuzhu had always been a popular figure on campus with many followers. Moreover, his behavior was the same as before, so there was no possibility of him being switched, otherwise he would have been discovered long ago.
Fu Xiuzhu's performance was indeed as his classmates said, like a natural leader. Therefore, Qiao Yuan excluded Fu Xiuzhu, and later heard other news about him from Li Wu, who had always admired him.
However, Fu Xiuzhu was obviously a little different now. His usually calm expression now showed a hint of helplessness, and when someone spoke to him, they seemed a little perfunctory, as if he was thinking about something.
When he stepped into the meeting room, someone reminded him that there was a threshold. Although it was just a small episode, Qiao Yuan had observed Fu Xiuzhu before and felt that such a thing should not happen to him.
As if he had sensed someone's gaze falling on him, Fu Xiuzhu raised his eyes and looked over, just in time to meet Qiao Yuan's gaze. He was startled and the word "Qiao Yuan" came out of his mouth.
Hearing Fu Xiuzhu's words, Qiao Yuan couldn't help but be stunned.
After all, she and Fu Xiuzhu didn't have much contact on weekdays. The few times they met were during meetings. He was on the stage and she sat in the audience. They didn't even talk to each other. There were quite a few people in the organization at each meeting. Qiao Yuan felt that Fu Xiuzhu probably didn't know her at all.
But now the other party actually called out his name accurately...
When she came to her senses, she found that Fu Xiuzhu had actually walked straight in front of her. The other party's speed was not slow, so Song Yanchi did not react for a while, and was a step late to block between her and Fu Xiuzhu.
