Chapter 77: Evil God (Thirty-nine)
When they saw that the last person to walk out of the passage was Yu Ruzhou, the audience in the live broadcast room were no less shocked than Song Yanchi and Lin Xi.
[Oh my god, the one who walked out alive was actually Number One. Wasn’t he attacked by the infant spirit at that time?]
[I can only say that the person who has been occupying the top spot from the beginning does have some ability.]
[Someone said before that Fu Xiuzhu was an evil god. If he really was an evil god, could he die so easily?]
[Ghosts are ghosts after all. They can be affectionate with you one second, and kill you without blinking an eye the next.]
[I feel that No. 1 must have also taken action, and he survived by pushing Fu Xiuzhu away. Maybe the baby spirit was killed by mistake. It was very well behaved in Fu Xiuzhu's arms at that time. Apart from its appearance, it looked a bit like my niece when it was sleeping.]
[Ah, if Fu Xiuzhu dies, what will the organization do? I quite like him.]
[And I feel like he really likes Sister Qiao]
[Am I the only one who felt that Fu Xiuzhu's shadow was a little strange?]
[At that time, everyone’s attention was on the fallen No. 1. Who had time to pay attention?]
[Sister Qiao reacted very quickly. She ran away immediately after the infant spirit took action.]
「Haha, you think this is a compliment? If you just stand there in that situation, you are just waiting to die.」
[So those who supported her before are now slapped in the face, right? It is normal for people to make mistakes in judgment in the dungeon, and they cover their mouths to prevent them from speaking.]
[srds, some of Fu Xiuzhu's behaviors are really too love-brained. I was a little skeptical before, but now I completely believe that he is a normal NPC]
[Am I not more experienced than some of the people present? In the dungeon, we old men should listen to our experience.]
[Facts aside, how could the fairies be wrong?]
[Didn’t you say to put aside the facts, little eunuch?]
[Sitting in front of the screen, typing louder than anyone else, and crying louder than anyone else when entering the dungeon]
…
The live broadcast room soon became noisy again.
Brother Dong in the live broadcast room shared the same opinion as most of the audience, thinking that Fu Xiuzhu could not be the evil god, and the fact that Fu Xiuzhu died undoubtedly confirmed his judgment.
Although the other party was just an NPC, because of his previous admiration, Brother Dong felt very sorry for Fu Xiuzhu's death. However, this emotion came to an abrupt end after seeing a barrage of comments -
[Have you read the forum posts? It seems that Fu Xiuzhu is really an evil god]
Brother Dong:?
There are many people in the barrage who have the same question as him.
[It won’t be another funny post, right?]
[No, this time it’s real, it was posted by a viewer in Live Room 1]
[What the hell?! But isn’t Fu Xiuzhu dead?]
【I quickly watched】
Brother Dong also went to the forum because of its reputation. Now most of the posts in the forum were related to this copy, but he still quickly found the post mentioned in the barrage.
The post was titled "Suddenly I know why all the previous players died and why the evil god changed his username." It was posted within a few minutes but there were already hundreds of replies, and it was always at the top of the forum posts.
The content posted by the OP is very short——
Fu Xiuzhu is an evil god. He killed Yu Ruozhou and took his identity. It is suspected to be a murder by love.
These three short sentences shocked the entire forum, and the reply posts filled with question marks and shock reflected the feelings of countless players at that moment.
After all, there have been many different opinions about the identity of the evil god since the opening of this copy. This is the first time that someone has pointed out the other party's identity so directly. What's more, Fu Xiuzhu is not a strange name for those who have watched the player's live broadcast, and the post also involves No. 1 Yu Ruzhou.
Wait, who killed who, what does this have to do with love/murder? !
Not to mention novices, even some experienced veteran players feel that their CPUs are under severe tests.
The moment he saw Yu Ruzhou, Qiao Yuan finally understood why he had given the wrong answer.
Fu Xiuzhu was "Him", but at the moment she answered the question, the other party became Yu Ruzhou for some reason.
Qiao Yuan: “…”
Couldn't He wait before taking action? !
However, regret was useless at this moment, so Qiao Yuan quickly adjusted his mentality. The most important thing right now was to quickly collect 50 million health points, and the easiest way was naturally to get it from Him.
Of course, he also had to ensure that he could continue to pretend to be Yu Ruzhou before she got the third chance to answer the questions, so as to prevent a similar situation from happening again.
Qiao Yuan's mind was racing, but his face didn't show the slightest sign of abnormality. When he noticed that he was wearing Yu Ruzhou's skin and looking at him, Qiao Yuan even smiled.
Sure enough, He did not notice anything unusual.
Although he was very dissatisfied that Yu Ruzhou was able to come out alive, the matter was done, and Song Yanchi could only glare at him fiercely. However, Yu Ruzhou's eyes were still glued to Qiao Yuan as usual, and he was not affected at all.
"Sister, now that the mission is completed, let's go first?" When Song Yanchi turned to face Qiao Yuan, all his hostility disappeared completely.
Qiao Yuan responded. She really needed to go back and think carefully about how to get 50 million health points.
Although He would also give her health points, it was only about 20,000 to 30,000 each time, and some of them were exchanged for props by her. Even if he continued to give her health points in the past three days, including what she had saved before, it would only be about 100,000. Not to mention that He was with her throughout this mission, so he naturally knew that she and Song Yanchi were not seriously injured. 50 million health points was not a small number, so ordinary excuses were useless.
Seeing Qiao Yuan was about to leave, Yu Ruzhou subconsciously wanted to follow her.
However, they had not taken a few steps when Qiao Yuan turned back as if he had realized something and reminded Yu Ruzhou that he did not live in the same direction as them.
Her eyes even fell on Yu Ruozhou's hand. Thinking that he now had a new soul in his body, she even spent some of her life points to buy a healing item and stuffed it into his hand: "My life points are not enough, so I can only buy this kind of healing item first."
"Remember to treat your wounds."
Even after Qiao Yuan and Song Yanchi left, Yu Ruozhou was still standing there blankly, holding the healing props given by Qiao Yuan.
Lin Xi tried to go up and talk to Yu Ruzhou, but before she got close, she found that Yu Ruzhou's face showed the same trance as Fu Xiuzhu before.
Before she could get close, Yu Ruozhou suddenly came to his senses, looked over vigilantly, and even put his hands, which were tightly holding the healing tool, behind his back.
Lin Xi: “…”
If she was not mistaken, the healing item was not expensive and she could still afford it. Yu Ruozhou did not need to be so alert. Moreover, why didn't she use the healing item when she already had it in her hand?
This time she turned around. Originally, she didn't dare to talk to the two of them because she was concerned about Song Yanchi who was beside Qiao Yuan. But now it seems that Qiao Yuan and Song Yanchi are obviously a much better choice than Yu Ruzhou. At least they are willing to listen to her.
Fu Xiuzhu, or now should I say Yu Ruzhou, or perhaps He's mood was extremely complicated.
After he sent a message asking Qiao Yuan whether he or the ant was more like A Yuan, he did not receive any response. He had already felt insecure when Qiao Yuan did not reply to his messages, and now there was another stand-in next to Qiao Yuan. He had already imagined that when Qiao Yuan was not paying attention to him, he was probably chatting enthusiastically with the stand-in.
But because he replaced the identity of an ant, he had to be responsible for the so-called organization in order to maintain the ant system. Before, he thought it was interesting to pretend to be the "savior" in the mouths of the ants and watch the process of these ants from hope to disappointment, but now he has lost interest and just wants to know why Qiao Yuan didn't reply to him.
Fortunately, although Qiao Yuan lost contact online, they met offline.
Good news. Qiao Yuan didn't reply to Him because the other party was busy, maybe he hadn't seen the message yet.
His first reaction was to rush forward and want to ask the other party who the other substitute who looked like A Yuan was, but after seeing the surprise on Qiao Yuan's face, he remembered that he was still hiding his identity. He had not yet decided whether to recognize him, so he could only swallow back what he wanted to say for the time being, and instead introduced himself. By the way, he looked at this brother who did not look at all like Qiao Yuan, and asked about their blood relationship.
Fortunately, Qiao Yuan didn't seem to have any doubts, but how could the other party and this younger brother be together even though they were not related by blood?
He always thought that the voices of these ants were noisy, and they were even noisier when they surrounded him. He always had to suppress his killing intent. But this time, his world was surprisingly quiet, because his attention was all on Qiao Yuan.
Qiao Yuan didn't chat with other ants anymore.
Qiao Yuan took out his cell phone.
Qiao Yuan lowered his head and looked at the screen of his mobile phone.
Qiao Yuan seemed to be replying to the message.
He: !!!
He didn't need to take out his phone, the phone screen had automatically appeared in his mind, and he was excitedly waiting for the other party's reply.
However, although Qiao Yuan had been typing, the chat box between him and her was still frozen on the question he sent.
He:?
The previous speculation came true, Qiao Yuan was actually chatting with other ants.
If he hadn't still had a glimmer of rationality, he would have wanted to go over and see what Qiao Yuan was talking about.
After waiting and waiting, he finally received a reply from Qiao Yuan. However, before he could be happy, his smile froze the moment the other party sent the message.
Qiao Yuan is going to meet that ant.
When He got rid of the followers of the original body and followed Qiao Yuan, He just saw an ant standing under a tree with Qiao Yuan. Fortunately, Qiao Yuan had a younger brother beside him, otherwise the other ant and Qiao Yuan would be alone.
And he was not unfamiliar with this ant, it was number one.
Because No. 1 had dominated the list for a long time before, and he even considered whether to give up No. 1 when he was looking for an excuse to give Qiao Yuan life points, so he had some impression of No. 1. What he didn't expect was that No. 1 was actually the ant like A Yuan in Qiao Yuan's words.
Is it the look or the feeling?
Because his attention was on Qiao Yuan and Ant No. 1, he failed to notice the appearance of the infant spirit. By the time he reacted, he had already been chosen by the infant spirit and involved in the mission.
The infant spirit has limited communication ability, so he has always been too lazy to communicate with the other party. He originally wanted to pass the level quickly, but after seeing Qiao Yuan, he silently changed his mind.
This is a good opportunity for him to approach Qiao Yuan openly. With his protection, nothing will happen to Qiao Yuan in this copy.
But he didn't expect that Ant No. 1 was also lingering around, competing with him for the position beside Qiao Yuan, and even tarnishing his image.
How dare the other party? !
What he didn't expect was that Qiao Yuan actually chose Ant No. 1 because the other party looked like A Yuan.
This is the reason again.
Looking at the two figures walking in front, the dark emotions in his heart had reached their peak, and violence surged in his heart, urging him to kill No. 1. But when he caught a glimpse of Qiao Yuan next to No. 1, he could only suppress the surging desire to destroy everything.
Moreover, hearing Qiao Yuan repeatedly saying "like him" to Number One, another thought arose in His mind -
Since Number One is more like Yuan, why doesn't He just take over Number One's identity?
After discovering that he and No. 1 were injured, Qiao Yuan still chose No. 1 even though he had the advantage of being able to take care of the child. This emotion reached its peak. However, he did not blame Qiao Yuan. After all, No. 1 was obviously well prepared, and even his name seemed to be a deliberate imitation of A Yuan.
Yu Ruozhou.
Ayuan.
The last word is full of water, who knows if it was intentional.
Compared to number one, the younger brother next to Qiao Yuan didn't look that annoying. Whether they were related by blood or not was secondary, at least the other party could recognize his identity.
Even though he has tried so hard, Qiao Yuan still only feels sorry for No. 1.
Then He becomes Him.
Only He can be like A Yuan.
The infant spirit was different from an ordinary ghost. It was more like a resentment, with a mind limited to that of a one or two year old child. Therefore, even if he saw him, he would not be afraid. Instead, he would feel close to him because of the aura he exuded. Through special communication, he finally made the infant spirit understand what he meant.
The plan went smoothly. Qiao Yuan walked into the passage first, and when No. 1 followed closely behind him, the infant spirit took action according to His instructions.
Number One obviously did not expect that the infant spirit, who had just looked so well-behaved, would suddenly attack. The infant spirit's speed was not comparable to that of an ant, so even Number One found it difficult to dodge and fell to the ground because of the attack from the infant spirit.
He knew that Qiao Yuan had just entered the passage. In order to avoid being seen by the other party, he pretended to be unaware and showed a look of shock and worry at the right time. It was not until he guessed that Qiao Yuan had left that the pretended emotions on his face faded away like the tide.
Just seeing that the other party could no longer stick to Qiao Yuan as closely as before, He was in a very good mood and forgot to conceal his shadow for a moment. Even though he restrained himself, Number One, who was originally prepared to resist, still noticed something. The face that always smiled at Qiao Yuan now revealed astonishment.
His gaze fell on Number One with an expression of delight that could not be concealed.
As an ant facing him, No.1's pupils dilated, his face turned pale, but he couldn't say a word. This saved him from having to seal the other person's mouth, lest No.1's shouting alarm Qiao Yuan who had already walked into the passage.
No matter whether the other party attracted Qiao Yuan with his face or his so-called personality, he will be his now.
"Why...why..." Number One, who finally reacted, couldn't help but speak out. No matter how hard he tried to overcome his fear, he could only utter a few difficult words from his lips.
He considered himself a fearless man, but the fear was not under his control. It seemed to come from the deepest part of his heart and was unknown.
Why?
Hearing Yu Ruozhou's words, He bent down: "Because you got close to her."
Ant No. 1 is one of the top players in terms of strength among all the games He has hosted, and he has also added a lot of fun to the game.
She was not going to solve the problem, but someone let Number One get close to her.
Number One obviously didn't expect such an answer, so even when fear was sweeping over his body, he could still reveal his astonishment: "She? It can't be..."
He did not answer, and Number One did not get an answer.
Considering that the other party looked similar to A Yuan, He did not want to destroy No. 1's skin, and chose to directly peel off the other party's soul from the body, and then crush No. 1's soul again and again.
Because He is impatient, He moves very fast.
He casually took out a mirror from the mall and looked at his new appearance, then smiled like No. 1 did before. After he was sure that there was no problem, he put away the mirror and calmly walked out of the passage to meet up with Qiao Yuan.
Although he knew that Qiao Yuan would not be able to see through his disguise, he still felt inexplicably nervous the moment the other party looked at him, as if he was wearing a new dress and waiting for Qiao Yuan's praise.
Fortunately, he did not make a wrong choice for this new body. Qiao Yuan not only kept his eyes on him, but he even took the initiative to care about his injuries and gave him healing items.
He didn't need any healing items at all, but the moment Qiao Yuan handed it to him, he subconsciously took it and then held it tightly in his palm, as if he was afraid that someone else would take it away.
According to the ants, it should be considered a gift.
Fortunately, He had occupied Number One's body in advance, otherwise the other person would have received the gift now.
But even though Number One was dead, a subtle jealousy still arose in his heart. After all, he knew clearly that in Qiao Yuan's heart, this gift was given to Number One, not him.
He didn't want Number One to exist in Qiao Yuan's heart as a separate identity anymore. In addition, the incident with Number One also sounded a wake-up call for him. He had been struggling over whether to approach Qiao Yuan as an ant, which instead gave other ants an opportunity to take advantage of him. It would be better for him to confess to Qiao Yuan directly using the identity of Number One.
Qiao Yuan's online dating partner has always been No. 1, and if possible, he would even reveal His true identity.
Then give Qiao Yuan a formal confession.
He and Qiao Yuan's acquaintance began with his own casual scam. After searching on the Internet, he realized how important a formal confession was. Most importantly, he could also use this confession to make Qiao Yuan's suitors calm down.
However, although he had already thought of the confession in his mind, after opening the chat box with Qiao Yuan, he deleted and revised it several times and was still not satisfied.
Lin Xi ultimately failed to reach a cooperation agreement with Qiao Yuan and Song Yanchi.
Li Wu was the first person to be informed by Song Yanchi about Fu Xiuzhu's death.
Not to mention that Fu Xiuzhu is a prominent figure in the school and has now founded an organization, it is impossible to conceal the news of his death. Therefore, Song Yanchi, who guessed that Qiao Yuan would definitely tell others in advance, took the initiative to undertake this task.
Because Li Wu was the only person on the list, he told Li Wu the news directly and then asked him to notify others.
Li Wu read the news several times before reacting. He was so shocked that he did not end the topic quickly as Song Yanchi usually did, but asked a few more questions. After getting the confirmed news, the news of Fu Xiuzhu's death already been spread by him with his extensive network of contacts.
Many people received the news that night, the Nan brothers and sisters were among them, and Nan Yuan also reported the news to Qiao Yuan.
After learning that Yu Ruozhou and Fu Xiuzhu were both left behind, Nan Yuan, who already knew Yu Ruozhou's true identity, first reacted to the fact that the other party had taken action, and he rarely sighed: "I didn't expect that No. 1 would actually take action against Fu Xiuzhu."
Qiao Yuan: “…”
Unfortunately, the truth is quite the opposite.
However, because of the transaction with the system, Qiao Yuan could not say anything. And now even the group was discussing this matter. Judging from the avatars and the tone of voice, many of them were on her list. Obviously, Fu Xiuzhu's death was a big blow to them.
She continued to think about how to earn 50 million life points.
When she gave the healing item to Him who was wearing Yu Ruozhou's skin, she deliberately said one more word. And He was indeed very smart and got some health points, but it was still far from the goal. Even if 50 million health points were required in batches, it would be difficult to collect them all within three days.
She opened the chat box with Him, looked at the chat content, and found that it was still frozen on the words she sent.
But the other party was right beside her at the time, so it was normal that he didn't reply. So it seemed that he really saw her message and rushed over, and he was obviously bothered by Yu Ruzhou's existence.
It's a pity that the real Yu Ruzhou is dead and was replaced by "He". Otherwise, Qiao Yuan felt that he could still use Yu Ruzhou to stimulate the other party.
Two days passed in a flash.
As the founder of the organization, Fu Xiuzhu was absolutely the soul of the organization. Many members of the organization were still looking forward to him taking them out. His death also caused the organization to collapse and made the atmosphere on campus even more depressing.
However, as the group leader, he posted fewer and fewer tasks in the group. One day, he almost did not post any tasks the whole day. It was only after the almost frantic pleading and reminders from the people in the group that he finally arrived with the tasks.
Some people in the group were already anxiously discussing whether He was tired of playing this game.
If they used to hold each other and let them go after they got tired of playing games, then after getting used to each other's bad behavior in these days, everyone has realized that if they cannot find Him before He gets tired of playing games, then what awaits them will definitely not be a good ending.
Maybe they all died.
Even Nan Keke's mood was affected to some extent. She was worried that her brother's pollution would worsen, and at the same time she was worried that the other party would really abandon the game. She felt better only after being comforted by Qiao Yuan.
Qiao Yuan could also feel that He seemed to be busy with something these days, and His response speed was slower than before.
In order to confirm that Yu Ruzhou was still him, Qiao Yuan also tried to propose a meeting with Yu Ruzhou, but he only called out once in two days.
