Chapter 73: Evil God (Thirty-Five)
These familiar words...
Qiao Yuan's heart moved, and she always felt that Fu Xiuzhu at this moment gave her a sense of déjà vu, but unfortunately this could only rule out the first possibility.
Yu Ruozhou's voice had already sounded: "Don't worry, I also have health points, enough to protect me and Qiao Yuan."
Song Yanchi finally came to his senses, and in order not to fall behind, he quickly said: "My life value originally belongs to my sister."
The four members of the blue team didn’t know whether Qiao Yuan had difficulty making decisions, but at this moment, as bystanders, they were already in a dilemma.
Judging from the confident attitude of these three people, they seem to have a lot of health points. Can they really steal it? If so, which one should they start with?
The eyes of everyone present quickly fell on Qiao Yuan. After all, he was the only judge in this competition.
Qiao Yuan's sight first fell on Fu Xiuzhu, and the other party naturally noticed her gaze. After realizing that Qiao Yuan's sight stayed on him, he subconsciously smiled at the other party.
However, Qiao Yuan's gaze quickly passed by him, passed by Yan Chi, and finally landed on Yu Ruozhou: "Let's go with Yu Ruozhou."
"He looks like someone I knew in the past. I feel at ease when I see him."
Yu Ruozhou raised the corners of his lips, smiling in a rather restrained manner: "I didn't hear you mention this matter when we were chatting before. You can tell me in detail after we leave here."
Qiao Yuan smiled and replied that they had already searched the room, so the two chatted while walking towards the next room. Because the space in the room was limited, there was no way for three people to stand side by side, so Song Yanchi could only stare at Yu Ruzhou's back like a beast, and then follow him like a shadow.
The people on the blue team were about to follow, but they found that Fu Xiuzhu was standing there without moving.
They didn't know why, although the other party's expression was still as calm as usual, they inexplicably felt that Fu Xiuzhu in front of them actually revealed confusion and gloom.
The four people in the blue team included two students and two players. These four people knew each other because they often robbed other students. The two players had heard about Fu Xiuzhu's campus quest from students in advance, but they didn't expect to meet him here.
A female player named Lin Xi took the initiative to approach Fu Xiuzhu and talk to him. She had a good impression of Fu Xiuzhu before, and when she heard him say that he had a lot of health points, her mind became active. Lin Xi felt that she was also a popular woman in the real world. If she could gain Fu Xiuzhu's favor, maybe he could protect her like he protected Qiao Yuan, and it would be easier to snatch health points later.
Thinking of this, she spoke softly to Fu Xiuzhu: "Classmate, what's wrong with you? Aren't you leaving yet?"
However, what made Lin Xi feel embarrassed was that Fu Xiuzhu ignored her.
Another student named Zhang Ying said, "Let's hurry up. Qiao Yuan and the others have left and are nowhere to be seen."
For some reason, he always felt a lingering chill that spread from his heart to every part of his body. His intuition told him that there seemed to be something even more terrifying in this room, but it did not seem to be an infant spirit, because it felt like facing the chaotic darkness, which was not something an infant spirit could do.
Zhang Ying's intuition has saved him countless times during missions and has kept him alive until now. However, since his companions do not believe in the so-called illusory intuition, he can only change his explanation.
Unexpectedly, the first person to react was Fu Xiuzhu. After Zhang Ying's voice fell, he seemed to react and walked forward directly. No one on the blue team expected that Fu Xiuzhu, who looked absent-minded just now, would suddenly walk forward at this time.
By the time Lin Xi reacted, Fu Xiuzhu had disappeared. She bit her lip and hurried to catch up.
At this time, Qiao Yuan, Yu Ruozhou and Song Yanchi had finished checking the last dormitory. After confirming that there was no one in the building, a group of people walked out of the girls' dormitory and headed towards other places.
Originally, there were only two teams, the red and blue, but now they have been divided into three teams. The first team is Qiao Yuan and Yu Ruozhou, who are walking in the front and seem to be talking happily. The second team is Song Yanchi, Fu Xiuzhu and Lin Xi. Song Yanchi is following Qiao Yuan closely, and his fierce eyes are on Yu Ruozhou, like a ghost behind him, while Lin Xi has been walking beside Fu Xiuzhu. The third team is the rest of the blue team. Their eyes are on the first team. Although Lin Xi and Fu Xiuzhu are standing together, they are still like a world apart. They couldn't hear what Lin Xi said to Fu Xiuzhu, but it seemed that Lin Xi was still talking unilaterally, and Fu Xiuzhu didn't respond.
You have to know that Lin Xi is also a popular beauty in the real world. After entering this copy, there are NPCs who are courting her. Now she is taking the initiative to court Fu Xiuzhu. The other party must have some reaction, right?
Lin Xi was also exhausted. She had racked her brains to talk to Fu Xiuzhu, but he didn't even talk back and didn't even look at her. She felt a little frustrated. At this moment, Fu Xiuzhu suddenly turned around and looked over.
The other party finally paid attention to her!
She secretly sighed in her heart that her charm was still undiminished, and raised her eyes charmingly, trying to leave a deep impression on Fu Xiuzhu by looking at him, but Fu Xiuzhu's voice sounded first: "Be quiet, I can't hear the voice in front."
Lin Xi didn't have time to complain about the fact that this was Fu Xiuzhu's first reply to her, because the moment she met Fu Xiuzhu's gaze, every cell in her body seemed to feel the pressure of gravity, struggling and screaming frantically, and her heart was making a sound of being overwhelmed, telling her to escape quickly. However, the fact was that she could only freeze in place, and her throat seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand, and the last bit of oxygen in her body was squeezed out.
She is going to die.
Lin Xi was also someone who had passed several copies, but before that, she had never realized that death could be so close to her.
Fortunately, Fu Xiuzhu quickly looked away, and the feeling of death receded like a tide. Lin Xi breathed in fresh air in big gulps, and her heart was still trembling uncomfortably, reminding her that it was not just an illusion. She stood there, her pupils trembling slightly, and she realized that there was something wrong with Fu Xiuzhu in front of her, and she had to find a way to remind him...
Reminder of what?
Lin Xi felt as if her memory had been erased . She remembered that she wanted to say something, but she couldn't remember it. The teammates behind her had caught up with her and asked her why she suddenly stopped and what Fu Xiuzhu had said. From their perspective, Fu Xiuzhu had said something to Lin Xi, and then the other party suddenly stopped.
When Lin Xi remembered that Fu Xiuzhu was asking him to be quiet for a while, he quickly understood why he was stunned in the same place just now.
She was devastated.
Moreover, the blow was greater than she had imagined. Lin Xi could still feel the discomfort in her heart and felt a little dizzy when she moved forward. Therefore, she did not continue to catch up, but decided to rest with the blue team.
According to the previous experience of the group, the game of infant spirits is just a simple game of hide-and-seek, and they can only rely on luck to find them. Fortunately, there is no one on campus except those who participated in the mission, so they can search the campus at will.
However, this campus is also full of dangers. The eight people have encountered many ghosts along the way and also lost a member of the blue team, who was a student.
However, the blue team came together because of their own interests, so they were not too sad.
After searching almost every corner of this decades-old campus, everyone only had one last place left—
Seeking Knowledge Building.
The Qiuzhi Building is mostly classrooms, and with previous experience in searching, everyone is already familiar with the route.
Yu Ruozhou and Qiao Yuan still stood together.
Yu Ruzhou never thought that things would go more smoothly than he had imagined.
In the real world, Yu Ruozhou is a person born with antisocial personality disorder. He always felt that life was boring and the whole world seemed gray in his eyes. It was not until he accidentally killed a classmate in high school and the red liquid flowing out of the other person's body dyed his originally gray world with color that he finally found fun.
He learned how to deal with corpses on his own, and he was always well-behaved and a good student in the eyes of his teachers and classmates. Therefore, no one suspected him, and the death of his deskmate became an unsolved case.
But for Yu Ruozhou, this was the beginning of finding the meaning of life. He liked the feeling of searching for prey in the crowd, which gave him a sense of control over other people's lives. The nightmare game was tailor-made for him. Although he could not kill players, he could kill NPCs in the dungeon at will. He also didn't like to browse forums. For him, the discussions about survival in the forums were too low-level.
After entering this copy, he could even earn health points while killing people. Those students and players were always easily deceived by his appearance. He could only kill the latter, but he could do it to the former at will. Relying on this method and participating in a few tasks at random, he quickly became the number one in this copy, leaving everyone else behind.
When he saw those people in the group still racking their brains to think about how to gain health points, he just thought that these people were useless and funny . It was the luckiest thing for them to be able to become his nourishment.
Until he approached a student as usual, ready to find the right opportunity to kill him directly. Unexpectedly, the student was one of the survivors of the library night, because he regarded Yu Ruozhou as a friend, and told him about Qiao Yuan. Yu Ruozhou was not interested in Qiao Yuan at first, but when he heard the other party swear that Qiao Yuan was number one, he finally became curious and wanted to see what this person who was regarded as himself looked like, so he asked the other party to introduce himself and joined the organization through Li Wu.
The first time he saw Qiao Yuan, he recognized that she should be the female star in the real world who he could hear people talking about on the street even though he had never watched TV much. He didn't expect that her performance in the game was different from that in reality.
However, what attracted Yu Ruozhou was how much health points Qiao Yuan had. After all, according to the student's description, the other party should have used the shadow spell in the mall, which gave 5,000 health points per second. Logically, after using it, Qiao Yuan had no health points left, but he was still able to pay the hush money and even escape from the examination room.
If Qiao Yuan wasn't a player, he would have thought that the other party was an evil god in disguise, which was why he had so much health points.
During the mission in the examination room, he was trapped. Because he killed too many people, he consumed a lot of props and was unable to finish the subsequent questions. He only relied on expensive life-saving props to escape from the invigilator, which made him need to replenish his health even more.
After all, Yu Ruzhou's goal was no longer to stay alive. After discovering that this copy was more free, he just wanted to rely on his health points to stay in this copy forever, rather than completing the mission to find Him.
He thought of Qiao Yuan.
If Qiao Yuan was an NPC, he could just kill him and take away his health, but the other party was a player, so he needed to put in some effort.
When he heard that Qiao Yuan was a love-brained person, he sneered in his heart, but a plan had quietly emerged in his mind. Although he had never been in a relationship in the real world because he was busy killing people, he had many suitors because of his exquisite appearance, so he naturally knew how to pursue someone.
At first, the conversation with Qiao Yuan was difficult to carry on, which made Yu Ruzhou doubt whether his plan could succeed. Fortunately, things went smoothly later and the gift was indeed the right one.
Especially because of the previous attack, Qiao Yuan was obviously closer to him, and he also learned that he was like other people in Qiao Yuan's heart.
This is better.
Yu Ruozhou has been playing the role of a close brother, and his tone deliberately revealed some of his true feelings: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect that you look like someone I know, and I look like someone you know."
"I know what it's like to lose someone and then see someone like him. If you don't mind, you can think of me as him."
Thinking that the evil god might be right next to him, Qiao Yuan pretended to be calm: "I..."
