MTL - Be a Social Cow In An Infinite Game-Chapter 31 Who is the murderer (12)

Xia Zhiyi was buried in Jing Ruyu's arms, and she could still see a little blood in the corner of her eye.

No one can ignore what happened here just now.

But it was too sudden, caught off guard.

Like, he hit some death switch...

Xia Zhiyi pinched the corner of Jing Ruyu's clothes, and gently tugged twice: "The key word of death."

Jing Ruyu nodded her head.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Zhiyi asked again: "Could it be that the victim is guilty?"

Victim blaming.

This was the only answer she could think of so far.

She couldn't be sure, but she faintly felt that she was approaching the correct answer.

If they can think of this at the beginning, they can fill in the blackboard and try it out.

It's a pity that the opportunity for the experiment has been missed. In the past two days, they must try their best to find out every clue, no matter how big or small.

Wu Yong, who was decapitated in a different place, still fell on the ground, reminding everyone with his own death—be cautious in words and deeds.

Xia Zhiyi took a look, then frowned and looked away.

It seems that she has watched less horror movies.

Just thinking about it, there seems to be no horror movie in this world that can compare to New World... The real situation shown in front of you is always the most shocking.

Fortunately, there is Jing Ruyu by her side.

At least Jing Ruyu could hug her, give her some comfort and a sense of security.

"I'm fine," she said, withdrawing from Jing Ruyu's warm embrace, "Thank you."

Jing Ruyu didn't keep her.

There is no longer any excuse for retention between them.

Xia Zhiyi looked down at her phone, hurriedly saved a few photos about Quicksand Park posted by Zhou Xiuxiu on her social platform, then turned off her traffic, and put her phone away.

When she looked up again, the classroom had returned to normal.

Wu Yong's body is gone, but the blood is still there.

The students turned a blind eye, chatting and laughing freely, and stepped on the bloodstains as they walked, with natural expressions and no abnormalities.

Only players can see it.

All of this seems to be the new world and the ghost king telling them that those who humiliate the victims and charge them with the crime of indifference will be trampled under their feet after death and will be cast aside by all people.

Xia Zhiyi has a new understanding of the new world.

Here, death is the norm and anything can happen.

Even their reality will be here, re-enacted.

"Continue to look for clues."

Jing Ruyu spoke calmly.

"Don't forget our purpose, get out of here."

Hearing her voice, Liu Xue and Chen Jianxiong finally came back to their senses from the shock, their expressions were very serious.

After a while, Liu Xue nodded: "Yes, we still need to clear customs.

"I'll go to the office and see if I can call Ming Hui for some information!"

After speaking, he ran away in a hurry.

"I'll go with you." Chen Jianxiong followed her.

After they left, Xia Zhiyi didn't know what to do.

She turned to look at Jing Ruyu: "Is this the answer?"

It is the keyword of death and the truth that killed Zhou Xiuxiu.

Jing Ruyu nodded lightly: "Yes."

Xia Zhiyi: "Should we sneak out after school?"

Jing Ruyu didn't speak.

The reason for the downsizing is one answer, but no one can guarantee it's the last fifty.

Another intersection without fog, they had to check.

But whether to go today or tomorrow is another big question.

Time is tight and shouldn't be wasted, but what if there is a more dangerous monster hiding on that road than last night without a false note?

"I have no idea."

Jing Ruyu turned her eyes to Xia Zhiyi.

"I fear the other way will be more dangerous than last night."

Xia Zhiyi fell silent.

Clues must be investigated, but lives must be saved, otherwise, what would they use to pass the level?

"Just to be on the safe side," Jing Ruyu said, "let's go tomorrow."

Xia Zhiyi thought for a while, then nodded, "That's fine too.

"By the way, let's try to see if we can pretend to be sick and ask for leave to go out tomorrow. When I went to school, if I had a cold and a fever, I could sign a leave of absence and go to the hospital for an injection!

"We don't have our parents to accompany us now, so please ask your classmates to take care of you and ask for leave together to go out, right?"

When she said this, her expression was bright and full of energy, and she finally lost the paleness that she was too scared to move just now.

Seeing her like this, Jing Ruyu couldn't help smiling slightly: "Okay, we'll try your method tomorrow."

Xia Zhiyi nodded happily: "Yeah!"

If the leave note is really a life-saving talisman, it is definitely better for two people to have it than one person.

No matter how powerful Jing Ruyu is, she doesn't want to see her being attacked and injured by monsters.

"By the way," Xia Zhiyi looked around, carefully took out her phone, "I just saved a few photos of Liusha Park from Xiuxiu's account, let's take a look, maybe we will find something? "

Jing Ruyu raised her eyebrows.

It turned out that the picture was saved, very good, her ex-girlfriend is smart.

Jing Ruyu: "Class will start soon, let's go to the bathroom and come back after finishing."

Xia Zhiyi: "Yes, but will we be scolded for being late for class?"

Jing Ruyu looked calm: "It's okay, just go to the infirmary and make a preparation for tomorrow."

Xia Zhiyi's eyes lit up: "Wow, smart!"

The two went to the bathroom before the class bell rang, and hid in the last cubicle to look at the saved photos.

There are traces of Zhou Xiuxiu in every photo.

Or a selfie with her bright smile, or a note she finished writing, or a flower lying in her palm.

The pictures are fresh, and each picture is full of vitality that makes people feel comfortable and sunny.

The current environment is relaxed, Xia Zhiyi looks at it, and feels more and more uncomfortable in his heart.

Jing Ruyu raised her eyes inadvertently, and saw that the eyes of the person in front of her were already slightly red.

She was slightly stunned, lowered her eyes silently, and looked at the photos on the phone.

This is the Xia Zhiyi she knew.

Funny and optimistic, delicate and sensitive, strong empathy, and easy to cry.

The goldfish they raised died in less than two weeks. Xia Zhiyi cried in her arms all night because of this, and was sad for a long time.

This is Xia Zhiyi, the longer we get along and the deeper the relationship, the sadder it will be when we part.

Xia Zhiyi's nose and hair were sore, and the corners of her eyes were suddenly touched gently with a cool finger, and then her cheeks, which were extremely gentle.

Jing Ruyu's voice fell in her ears: "It's okay, think about the good, becoming the king of ghosts is another meaning of life."

Xia Zhiyi raised her reddish eyes to look at Jing Ruyu's.

After staring at each other for a long time, Jing Ruyu slowly withdrew her hand and looked away first.

Xia Zhiyi suddenly smiled: "That's right, thank you."

Jing Ruyu: "Continue to look at the photos."

Xia Zhiyi nodded, "Yes."

They tacitly assumed that the comfort just now had never happened, so as not to make the atmosphere too embarrassing.

The two of them looked at the photos one by one, zooming in and zooming out, unwilling to let go of every corner in the photos.

"and many more."

Xia Zhiyi suddenly spoke up.

Swipe your fingertips across the screen to rewind to the previous photo.

This is a selfie taken by Zhou Xiuxiu and her friends in the park at night, with a calm lake behind them.

Xia Zhiyi swiped with **** to zoom in on an inconspicuous corner of the photo, where one can vaguely distinguish the shore of the lake.

Pointing to a long pole standing on the shore of the lake, she said, "Is this the light of the ferry?"

The upper half of the wooden pole is crookedly long, with a small section extending from the top, and a rectangular thing hangs from top to bottom.

There is light and shadow, which looks a lot like a lamp.

The shape is especially like the lonely light at the ferry they saw in the novice dungeon.

Jing Ruyu carefully identified it, and felt like a lonely lantern at the ferry, but he couldn't be sure, but couldn't help feeling Xia Zhiyi's carefulness.

It is too small in the picture, it is hidden behind Zhou Xiuxiu, you can't find it if you don't look carefully.

If this is really the lonely light at the ferry, then they will be saved.

"I'm going to Quicksand Park tonight."

Jing Ruyu spoke suddenly.

Xia Zhiyi heard this and looked at her in surprise: "You go by yourself? But that's too dangerous!"

Jing Ruyu frowned slightly, and her tone could not be refused: "The photo was taken at night, so I have to go there to confirm the authenticity with my own eyes.

"Zhiyi, we are running out of time, we have to seize it tonight and tomorrow."

Xia Zhiyi was suddenly speechless.

What can she say? Tell her not to go?

But who would have guessed what he would miss if he didn't go tonight? It would be too bad if the ferry also has a limited time trigger mechanism this time.

This is just as Liu Xue described before, the new world is full of tricks.

It will not let go of any opportunity to torture the player, let alone allow the player to pass the level safely and without worry.

This is the price of wanting to live.

"Then you should be careful outside and come back early."

Jing Ruyu originally wanted to comfort her, telling her not to worry about herself.

Then he thought of something else, and the words were suppressed again, and he nodded slightly.

"Zhiyi, no matter what happens, whether I come back or not, you have to take care of yourself and be safe... to the end."

"It's the same for you," Xia Zhiyi said, "You have to go to the end."

After checking all the photos, there are no new clues.

They put away their mobile phones and went back to the classroom.

Xia Zhiyi was still worried that Jing Ruyu would go out of school alone again tonight, her brows were tightly frowned, and her expression didn't look very happy.

So as soon as she entered the class, she was concerned by the teacher: "You don't look well, are you uncomfortable?"

Jing Ruyu reacted first, supported her and said, "We just came back from the infirmary, and she feels a little uncomfortable."

Xia Zhiyi also came to his senses, pretending to cough twice: "I'm sorry teacher, we're late."

Seeing her like this, the teacher didn't say anything, and waved them back to sit down.

Not long after taking his seat, Xia Zhiyi received a note from Liu Xue.

Liu Xue: Are you sick? all right?

Xia Zhiyi replied neatly with a pen: It's okay, I'm just pretending.

Liu Xue handed over a new note: As long as it's okay, by the way, we have contacted Ming Hui.

Xia Zhiyi raised her eyebrows in surprise, first shared the good news with Jing Ruyu, and then continued to ask Liu Xue if she had any important clues.

The answer was: no.

After class, Liu Xue and Chen Jianxiong told her how they contacted Ming Hui.

Ming Hui told them on the phone that she had no knowledge of the media reports.

After Zhou Xiuxiu's accident, she never saw Zhou Xiuxiu again. She thought about going to see her, but she was afraid of disturbing her, so she didn't know what to say to comfort her.

Transferring schools was indeed on her mind.

She hated Sun Jun's behavior, and she didn't want to be in the same classroom or even the same school with him anymore. With such a person by his side, there is no difference between staying with a beast.

What if it's her turn one day?

She has to protect herself too.

As for exposing Sun Jun, this is not something she can do on her own initiative.

She had to think about Zhou Xiuxiu, if she would hurt Zhou Xiuxiu again by recklessly exposing this matter, why would she add salt to her wound?

And they were not even friends, she had no way of knowing what Zhou Xiuxiu was thinking, and she didn't have to be so warm-hearted.

The initiative in this matter is in Zhou Xiuxiu's hands. If Zhou Xiuxiu is unwilling to expose Sun Jun, she can't say anything; if Zhou Xiuxiu wants to expose Sun Jun, she is also willing to help.

However, she did not expect Zhou Xiuxiu to commit suicide...

Liu Xue and Chen Jianxiong tried hard to dig out some information from her, but as the communication deepened, they found that Minghui's death had nothing to do with Zhou Xiuxiu's death.

Minghui even regretted it.

"If I go to her, if I go to see her, even if I say a word of encouragement, is it possible that nothing will happen to her?

"You said she was fine, why can't you think about it so much?

"She obviously still wants to be admitted to the best university, and she still wants to continue studying mathematics..."

At that time, when she said this, there was a hint of complaint in her puzzled voice, and she tried to restrain herself from crying.

Although their relationship was not very good, it did not prevent her from respecting Zhou Xiuxiu.

They never hated each other.

She used to look forward to Zhou Xiuxiu being admitted to the Department of Mathematics, looking forward to seeing Zhou Xiuxiu realize her dream, but in the end she was completely ruined by that scumbag Sun Jun!

Why did she fall in love with such a thing in the first place?

Listening to her voice, the two felt very complicated.

Liu Xue comforted her a few words.

Minghui collected her mood, and asked directly what the purpose of their calling her was.

She's not stupid, a new classmate who transferred suddenly called her to ask about Zhou Xiuxiu, anyone would doubt her.

Liu Xue and Chen Jianxiong were taken aback by this question.

NPC is a bit smart and not easy to deal with...

Seeing that they had stopped talking, Ming Hui replied calmly, "Although I don't know what you guys want to do, but I can feel that you are good people. It's just a pity that not everyone and everything will Very important."

She didn't know the cause of Zhou Xiuxiu's death, so it was useless to find her.

Liu Xue and Chen Jianxiong looked at each other with a hint of embarrassment on their faces.

"okay, thank you."

Minghui said again: "If you find out who killed her, can you tell me then?"

Liu Xue: "Huh?"

"After all, she is indeed a very good and kind person." Minghui replied so firmly.

After the memory was over, Chen Jianxiong looked at Xia Zhiyi and the two and sighed: "That's all we asked."

They still wanted to tell Ming Hui very much.

After Xiuxiu became the king of ghosts, she couldn't tell that she was "very good and kind" at all...

Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu were silent for a moment.

It seems that Minghui is a cover-up for the new world, she doesn't know why Zhou Xiuxiu died.

If you want to verify whether she is lying, it is also very simple, just ask the ghost king directly and see the ghost king's reaction.

When the ghost king tortured Sun Jun and killed Wu Yong, he didn't hide the disgust in his expression at all.

I just don't know if there are any other clues...

Thinking of this, Xia Zhiyi's gaze suddenly turned to the radio speaker.

For so long, the task NPC has not even released a side task, and is responsible for posting questions and going through the process, just like a show host.

But the show host also has a script, and he always knows something.

Xia Zhiyi was going to ask directly.

She went straight to the door, raised her head and called, "Xiao Bo."

Task NPC: [My name is not Xiaobo. 】

Xia Zhiyi: "Good little broadcast."

Task NPC: […]

How could there be such wicked players who named NPCs in the world! !

Xia Zhiyi looked at it: "Is it possible, can you give us some hints?"

Task NPC: [No possibility. 】

Xia Zhiyi frowned: "Is it possible that I have a different relationship with your staff?"

[? 】

The task NPC made a confused voice: [What is the relationship between you and our staff? 】

Seeing that Xia Zhiyi was serious, she said brazenly: "I am Xiaoqiao's follower, and she is my boss."

The voice fell to the ground, and the atmosphere fell silent for an instant.

After a while, the task NPC finally spoke: [I just went to ask her. 】

Xia Zhiyi was surprised: "Oh, are you still connected? What did she say?"

Task NPC: [She said, you fart! 】

The author has something to say:

Although Qiaozi is not in the dungeon, there are still rumors about her in the dungeon (bushi)
