Chapter 71: Evil God (Thirty-three)
When the leaves fell, they had moved to another place. Although it was the same scene, the teaching building next to it had a retro style. The street that was often passed by was now empty.
Qiao Yuan looked down and saw a red mark on her wrist. At the same time, there was a sharp laughter of a child. It was impossible to tell whether it was a boy or a girl from the voice. She could only barely understand the meaning of the child from the babbling sound.
It is saying: "Come to me, come to me~"
When he heard the other party's words, Qiao Yuan finally knew who it was -
This was one of the tasks He had released in the past. Qiao Yuan had seen people discussing this task in the group. Unlike the previous tasks where everyone chose whether to participate, this task was chosen by Him, and a group of players had already been chosen.
According to people who have found it, it is a baby spirit, more difficult to deal with than ordinary ghosts. It has a baby-like temper and understanding ability, so ordinary communication is ineffective. It has no entity and dodges very quickly. It likes to divide the participants into two teams. The players in the team that escaped found the other team and coaxed it for a long time before escaping while it was asleep. The other team that did not find it was forever left in the past and never came out.
I didn't expect that the other party would choose someone to participate in the mission again.
In addition to Qiao Yuan and the others, there were four other people who were pulled into the mission. There was a blue mark on the wrists of the other party, and it seemed that they were divided into a team. Because the discussion of infant spirits in the group was quite heated before, the people present also realized which mission it was.
Qiao Yuan and others quickly took action.
Although he had a lot of health points, the mall basically only had offensive and defensive items. The items involved in searching were all simple things and did not involve ghosts. The shadow spell could only be used when he found the opponent, so he was not in a hurry to exchange the items.
The others obviously had the same idea as her, and were not in a hurry to open the mobile store to redeem items.
Although they knew that the place where the infant spirit appeared was most likely not fixed, for the sake of safety, Qiao Yuan and others decided to go to the places shared by the two groups of people in the group first.
The last time the baby spirit appeared was in the bathroom of the girls’ dormitory.
Now the campus is empty except for their red and blue teams, and the dormitories built decades ago did not have gates installed, so Qiao Yuan and others were able to enter unimpeded.
Although it was called a water room, there were actually only two water heaters and rows of sinks. Yellow stains hung on the white brick walls, and in the sinks were the occasional clumps of hair of various colors and the floating foam that had not been flushed down. The faucet, which had not been repaired for who knows how long, was slowly making a "tick-tick" sound, with a few seconds in between, echoing in the empty room. Although it was afternoon, the whole water room was filled with a damp smell.
According to the team in the previous group, they found the baby spirit in a corner that was a blind spot after entering the bathroom.
They walked around, even taking into account blind spots, but they still couldn't find the baby spirit.
However, this was within Qiao Yuan's expectations. If all the infant spirits were hiding in the same place, it would be too easy. Therefore, it was normal not to find them here.
Song Yanchi was already annoyed because Yu Ruzhou was getting close to Qiao Yuan, and now he had to find the baby spirit, which made him even more annoyed: "Why is this baby spirit just like the group leader, liking others to find it?"
"And they asked people to do the tasks in batches."
Yu Ruozhou rarely responded to Song Yanchi's words and said softly, "Could it be that they are related by blood?"
Qiao Yuan: “…”
Blind student, you have discovered the highlight.
I have to say that what these two people said does make sense. After all, there is a saying that goes, "Like father, like son."
She simply thought that He was hiring child laborers, but she didn't expect that the other party seemed to have never been in a relationship, but in fact, he had a child behind her back.
It was at this time that Fu Xiuzhu spoke up: "I don't think there is a blood relationship."
"Our top priority now is to find the infant spirit first."
What Fu Xiuzhu said was indeed correct. Qiao Yuan, Song Yanchi and Yu Ruzhou all regained their composure.
The four were also ambushed.
The hair that had been still in the pool suddenly came to life the moment the four people approached. The hair twisted together like maggots and rushed straight towards Qiao Yuan, who was closest to the pool.
But before Qiao Yuan could make a move, those clumps of hair changed direction and rushed towards Yu Ruzhou who was standing beside him, heading straight for his chest. Judging from their ruthlessness, it was obvious that they wanted to take Yu Ruzhou's life directly.
Yu Ruozhou really didn't expect that the hair would come directly towards him. After all, the murderous intention of the other party when he rushed towards Qiao Yuan was also real. And the heroic rescue he originally prepared had been forced to turn into self-rescue.
Fortunately, the attack power of these hairs was limited and they were quickly dealt with by Yu Ruozhou using props, and turned into ashes with a ball of fire.
Qiao Yuan also felt it naturally: "I didn't expect these hairs to be able to divert attention."
Yu Ruozhou: “…”
But why was he the one being hit? He was not standing to the west of Qiao Yuan.
There were footsteps behind him, and Qiao Yuan quickly turned his head to look.
The people standing at the door were from the blue team, and the footsteps were coming from them.
They obviously also wanted to come over to check it out. The four of them stood closely together, looking around vigilantly. After seeing Qiao Yuan and his group, their expressions did not relax at all.
Qiao Yuan had never seen them in the organization, and some of the four people looked at them with a hint of greed and plunder, as if they were looking at prey, so she guessed that these people were more like the people who liked to rob others of their lives that the group had discussed before, and some of them should have had a lot of blood on their hands. But maybe because they were on a mission, they didn't take action directly.
Many of these people knew Fu Xiuzhu and took the initiative to greet him, as if to show that they were harmless.
They obviously regarded Fu Xiuzhu as the leader of the team and asked if they wanted to cooperate. After all, the infant spirits did not stipulate that only one team could win. Fu Xiuzhu did not agree or refuse directly, but turned to look at the other three: "Do you want to cooperate?"
Song Yanchi looked directly at Qiao Yuan, and Yu Ruozhou smiled shyly: "Just listen to her."
Fu Xiuzhu looked at Yu Ruzhou: "People can't be so indecisive."
Then he naturally turned to look at Qiao Yuan: "So your opinion is..."
Fu Xiuzhu usually behaves very maturely, so it is not inappropriate for him to say these things to Yu Ruzhou. However, as the person involved, Yu Ruzhou still inexplicably heard a sense of targeting in the other party's words.
But what did Fu Xiuzhu do to him?
Like Qiao Yuan and Song Yanchi, he had no contact with Fu Xiuzhu on weekdays, and today was even the first time he had spoken to him. Moreover, Fu Xiuzhu looked normal and didn't seem to be doing it on purpose.
Qiao Yuan was stared at by three pairs of eyes. He suspected that these three people just didn't want to make a choice, but he still said: "Cooperation."
After the audience in the live broadcast room discovered that Yu Ruzhou was intentionally approaching Qiao Yuan, everyone could not hide their worries at first. After all, in the eyes of many people, she was already a love-brained person, not to mention that Yu Ruzhou's conditions in all aspects were very good. Fortunately, the conversation between Qiao Yuan and Song Yanchi let them know that the other party was still sober.
[Fuck, the familiar Sister Qiao is back]
[xs, the chat records between Sister Qiao and Yu Ruozhou are in stark contrast to His]
[If Sister Qiao hadn’t been so good at flirting before, I would have really been fooled by her]
[No. 1 has already regarded Sister Qiao as a straight woman of steel]
[No. 1 is not anemic, so why does he need to take iron supplements?]
[No. 1 lacks health]
[He even bought a gift for Qiao Yuan. Is he still the murderous No. 1?]
[This is the number one who wants to cheat but has no experience]
[I used to think that number one was Him, but now it seems that I overestimated him]
[But they are both very similar in their stupidity when it comes to feelings]
[Sister Qiao: I will accept the gift, but you can take the token of appreciation back]
There were also many comments in the live broadcast room speculating who he was, which was Dong Ge's favorite part. He couldn't help but admire Qiao Yuan, whose list of suspects almost included all the people speculated by the comments, and then eliminated them one by one.
However, when Qiao Yuan added Fu Xiuzhu to the list of suspects, he couldn't help but sigh that the other party had made a mistake this time.
Most people in the live broadcast room also share the same idea as Dong Ge:
[How come even Fu Xiuzhu, the light of righteousness, doubts him?]
What the hell is the light of righteousness?
[Because of the previous speech, after listening to it, I felt that all evil will eventually be defeated]
[I have copied it down and modified it to be the oath-taking speech for the 100-day sprint to the college entrance examination]
[Senior high school students, stop watching the live broadcast and go study now]
[Although Fu Xiuzhu behaved a little more maturely, based on my experience, he is not a bad person. I am willing to give him the identity of a good person. Because of him, everyone was able to come together from a state of disunity. It feels like Qiao Yuan's efforts this time were in vain.]
[In the second half, isn’t it normal to doubt this and that?]
[So I think she is a little confused, that's why she even doubts Fu Xiuzhu, who is obviously a good person. The more confused she is at this time, the more she needs to keep a clear head.]
[But I also think Fu Xiuzhu is a bit like Him]
[I also thought Qiao Yuan's suspicion was correct before. Fu Xiuzhu was indeed a little suspicious, but he kept sticking to Qiao Yuan. If it was him, it would be unnecessary. And it seemed that every time Yu Ruzhou looked at Qiao Yuan, he would turn his head to look at her.]
[Yeah, I feel like he likes Qiao Yuan a little bit. The emotion of "liking" can rule out the possibility that it is Him.]
[But I still think he likes Sister Qiao. This time Sister Qiao pretended to say that Yu Ruozhou looked like A Yuan, and he immediately replied by asking who between him and the other person looked more like A Yuan. Isn't this a manifestation of jealousy? It feels like he has fallen in love with Qiao Yuan, but is worried that Qiao Yuan will be attracted to someone else who looks like A Yuan. Maybe he still thinks of himself as a substitute in his heart.]
[? Can this be used as evidence? You can sense his tone through the screen. I said he was just upset because his toys were taken away. He doesn’t treat the players as human beings.]
[Every time He is mentioned, someone will come out and say that He likes Qiao Yuan. No, how did you know that? Or can you read His mind now? Even He Himself may not know His own mental activities, but you know them clearly.]
[Can you please not tarnish the image of the evil god in my mind? ]
[But the evil god already has a child, so it’s normal for him to have a relationship.]
【？ 】
[You are not talking about the infant spirit, are you? Is there any evidence that it is the child of the evil god?]
[Speaking of which, I would rather believe that the infant spirit is the child of the evil god than believe that he likes Qiao Yuan]
[I also +1, I think the former is more reliable]
The reason why Qiao Yuan wanted to cooperate was simple. She liked to keep dangerous people under her nose rather than letting them hide in the dark.
Just as Qiao Yuan thought, the Blue Team did have bad intentions and wanted to take away all of the opponent's health points while Qiao Yuan and the others were not paying attention.
At first they were worried that the four were pretending to accept but were actually planning to rob the robbers, until they discovered that except for Qiao Yuan, the other three did not seem to be focused on the mission, but on competing for a position next to Qiao Yuan.
