Nan Zhou stared at the patterns on the stair floor, and with the scent of apples left on his fingertips, he thought of a shadowy figure.
He has no female friends.
But there was a shadow in his heart.
That shadow belongs to a tall woman wearing a black and white Lo skirt.
There are rust-red rosettes on her waist and chest. Because the skirt supports are very large, it is a little hard to squat down, so she knelt down on one knee, revealing a beautiful calf wrapped in snow-white socks.
When Nan Zhou saw her for the first time, she was half-kneeling in her yard, with several handfuls of newly dug up mud in front of her, as if she was planting something.
He didn't know what she was doing.
It doesn't seem to know that this place is the land of the Lord.
Nan Zhou lay by the window and watched the woman's back for a long time. He thought about everyone he had seen in the town, and found that he really didn't recognize her.
After the girl was busy, Xu Shi felt that she was staring at her, so she raised her head.
The black veil blocked her eyes.
Nan Zhou could only see her slightly pointed chin, her faint smile, and her fiery scorching lips.
But he was sure that the woman saw him.
Because the lips were slightly opened and closed, the corners of the already slightly upturned mouth raised a perfect arc.
Nan Zhou was stunned for a long time.
When he turned to go downstairs to find her, the woman was gone.
Nan Zhou thought that if he saw her again, he might be a little nervous.
Although not yet to the point of being friends, but still want to get to know.
But the first time he saw her, it was also the last time.
…
Nan Zhou stubbornly grasped the topic he found and didn't let go: "... Xie Xiangyu."
Li Yinhang couldn't bear to look directly.
However, Jiang Fang did not hold on to it and said softly, "Okay, tell me about Xie Xiangyu."
Nan Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
There are some things he doesn't want to say and can't say.
Fortunately, Jiang Fang's character is very good, tolerant and tolerant, allowing him to have his own secrets.
"It is possible that Xie Xiangyu knew about Zuo Jiaming's existence from the beginning," he said.
Li Yinhang originally thought that Nan Zhou was trying to divert the topic on purpose, but he threw a bomb and popped it out as soon as he opened his mouth.
Li Yinhang was down for a while before he spit out a doubtful auxiliary word: "... ah?"
Nan Zhou said: "When I went to dismantle the nameplate, I found that the surface of the nameplate was very clean. There was only a little bit of dust deep in the grooves on the side."
He added: "Sun Guojing's dormitory and Zuo Jiaming's dormitory are like this."
"Besides, I observed before taking the name tag. The gray lines on the sides of the transparent plastic slots used to insert name tags in the two dormitories are discontinuous."
Normally, dormitory arrangement is a big project for the school.
Once the dormitory allocation list is finalized, it is not an easy task to change dormitories.
In the end, the approval may not be successful.
Therefore, starting from the first year of a student's admission, if it is not for the fact that the dormitory relationship is really incompatible, the name plate at the door will not change.
After a long time, no one moved, and it naturally fell into ashes.
Now Nanzhou found that the brand name is not only clean, but also the original dust line has been damaged...
After some intense brainstorming, Li Yinhang suddenly came to the spirit and inspiration.
She thinks she understands.
So she was eager to speak.
Nan Zhou looked at Jiang Fang.
Jiang Fang nodded lightly.
After confirming their eyes, they both looked at Li Yinhang.
After Li Yinhang carefully sorted out his thoughts, he cleared his throat and spoke in a eloquent manner.
"In this way, Xie Xiangyu should have checked the famous brand long ago. So he knows the information we know now, one step ahead of us."
"But he didn't tell anyone, which is weird."
"The reason he's like that, I think, is because there's something inherently wrong with the character he's playing."
"The original 'Xie Xiangyu' is very likely to be the culprit of everything."
"'Xie Xiangyu' is the only one in the entire network who has a clear hatred for the four boys in the sports dormitory."
"He hated the people who caught him peeping and wanted to stay away from them, but he had the handle in their hands and had to be obedient."
"As a result, he not only has to run errands for the four sports departments, and be a younger brother before and after, but also probably has been known by his roommate Zuo Jiaming about his peeping at the girls' dormitory - after all, Zuo Jiaming is Hu Li's friend - so He also lived in fear in the dormitory... "
"If he's going to hurt someone, he's the most motivated."
"... Therefore, this 'rustle' sound is very likely to be caused by him. For the purpose of revenge."
Nan Zhou said "um", his tone was very light, I wonder if he was expressing his approval.
Encouraged, Li Yinhang immediately summoned more courage, and continued to talk while sorting out his thoughts.
"That night, after 'Xie Xiangyu' learned about the location of their meeting, he tried to attract that force and drag us and himself in."
"... He may have been miserable by doing this. After all, he has been threatened and bullied like this all the time. I don't know when it will be a head, so we should all die together."
"After player Xie Xiangyu used this body, he quickly discovered the incongruity in the dormitory."
"…he discovered that he 'should have' four people in his dorm, but he only sensed 'three'."
"So, after he checked the name tags in front of his dormitory, he found Sun Guojing and the others, checked their name tags, and confirmed his thoughts."
"He said he would cooperate with them, live with them, and at the same time hide the clues that he knew about the matter, in order to seek protection, and to ensure that he had the key clues and got the most points."
"Of course, he is also worried that once he reveals that he is the culprit, Sun Guojing and the others will be overheated for a while. If they think that the source of the calamity can be solved, the copy will be solved.
After Li Yinhang finished speaking, he secretly reviewed it.
The logic is silky smooth and there is nothing wrong with it.
She looked at Jiangnan and the two, waiting for a positive approval.
As a result, Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang looked at each other again.
Nan Zhou: "You ask first?"
Jiang Fang smiled: "Mr. Nan, please."
Li Yinhang: "..." She had the feeling that she answered the question confidently in class, but the teacher stared at her and sighed faintly.
Nan Zhou asked first.
He asked: "If you are Xie Xiangyu who wants revenge, how do you attract that power?"
"This… "
Li Yinhang was at a loss for words for a while: "Usually, I will use methods such as strokes of pen immortals and dish immortals..."
Nan Zhou: "I didn't ask this."
Nan Zhou: "I'm asking, how could Xie Xiangyu know the existence of 'this power'?"
This unknown force is a paradox.
When you don't know it, it exists but no one knows it.
When you know it, it is already with you.
A mere question made Li Yinhang's thought, which was fairly clear, into a mess.
... yes.
In the campus legends passed down by word of mouth, this power does not exist.
If Xie Xiangyu hated the three, he should take the most classic measures like the curse of the pen fairy, which is available in the tutorial school post bar.
Where did he come from to know the existence of that power in advance
If you don't know, how can you use power
Seeing that the basis of his inference was in jeopardy and the building was about to collapse, Li Yinhang tried to find a reason to explain this contradiction: "Then... he may have been exposed to that kind of power once, and guessed the power of this power, so he wanted to drag the others into the water. …”
Nan Zhou neatly shattered what Li Yinhang had managed to build up with a question --gt;gt;
Reason: "Who organized the party?"
… ah, yes.
The party is organized by the foursome of the sports department, and the location is also determined by them.
As a younger brother, Xie Xiangyu was completely dragged to run errands and pay for it on a temporary basis.
He doesn't have any dominance at all.
Unless that force can be driven by him at will, whenever he is called.
Then Xie Xiangyu could change his name to Xie Banxian, and the balance of the game became a joke.
Li Yinhang: "..."
After Nan Zhou's question, she understood one thing.
… I understand loneliness.
Noticing Li Yinhang's frustrated expression, Jiang Fang said gently, "Then why should I ask?"
Li Yinhang's heart was ashes: "Tell me. Let me be a little more thorough."
Jiang Fang couldn't hold back, he put his hand to his lips and coughed, covering the corner of his mouth with a smile: "According to your thoughts, why is it necessary for Xie Xiangyu to find Sun Guojing and the others to cooperate?"
Li Yinhang: "..." That's right.
Sun Guojing's three muscles have grown into his brain, what benefits can Xie Xiangyu bring to the first-mover advantage
If you have found the clue of Zuo Jiaming yourself, if you want to verify your judgment and find out who Hu Li is, but you don’t want to reveal the key clue to other players, so you can get exclusive points, you just need to sneak over in the middle of the night. Want to form a partnership with these three big-limbed and simple-minded people
… etc.
midnight…
Li Yinhang blinked.
According to Sun Guojing and the others, Xie Xiangyu came to the door on the night when he hit a ghost for the first time.
They only care about being led by the clues brought by Xie Xiangyu, but completely forget the most important question:
In the middle of the night, what did he do in the sports department
The dormitory has to be locked when the lights are out at night.
If someone from his foreign department wanted to come in, he could only hide in the public restroom before turning off the lights.
If you want to seek cooperation, or you want to live together, why don't you come earlier
A relatively possible explanation is that Xie Xiangyu came to the Sports Department dormitory in the middle of the night, in fact, he wanted to check the famous brand at the door in the middle of the night.
He was also very successful.
The trio couldn't even hear the slight sound of the door being dismantled.
But after he finished dismantling and confirmed what he thought, not only did he not leave, but he also knocked on the door of the dormitory of the three of them and proposed cooperation.
Not only did it propose cooperation, but also withheld the most critical information.
Not only did he hide key information, but he also used a trivial clue as a favor, tricking the three of them into obeying his words, and running together to check the situation in classroom 403, where that power might be lurking, while he was like an ordinary student. Go to class in peace...
Faced with these kinds of unnatural contradictory details, Li Yinhang sent out a soul torture: "...What is he trying to do?"
Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang said at the same time, "I don't know."
The interests of each team are different.
Like in the first copy, Li Yinhang also hid clues.
At that time, her interest appeal was very clear: to find more clues and give her team more points.
But at that time, she didn't know whether her efforts were useful, so she could only count her personal attempts and speculations.
If it really is this kind of conclusive clue that other players' lives and deaths must be shared, no one with a slightly normal thinking will hide it.
Xie Xiangyu deliberately ignoring clues, what is it for
and…
Until now, they have not been able to find the order and regularity in which everyone is affected by the "rustle" sound.
So far, excluding Xie Xiangyu and Hu Li and Zuo Jiaming who are no longer there, Sun Guojing has heard the rustling the most frequently among the 9 people who have been to classroom 403, a total of five times.
Nan Zhou and Li Yinhang tied for second place, having heard it four times.
Luo Ge and Qi Tianyun heard it twice and three times respectively.
Jiang Fang only heard it once.
Li Yinhang said without any hope: "Since that power is completely unknown, then the order in which we were selected should be unreasonable and have no likes and dislikes."
In other words, it all depends on the mood of that power, and their luck.
"Not necessarily." Nan Zhou said, "This is a dungeon, and the dungeon has its gameplay logic."
He asked the two of them: "Do you remember the setting of the exploration system?"
Li Yinhang certainly remembered.
In the last world, their dungeon exploration score was S grade.
After going back, Nan Zhou still couldn't forget it for a long time.
In that small hotel, when Li Yinhang was about to fall asleep, he heard Nan Zhou ask Jiang Fang in a low voice and persistently:
— "Why 987? What is the 13?"
Jiang Fang's answer was to pull the quilt over his head: "Don't think about it first, let's sleep."
Nan Zhou said: "The exploration system should be adjusted according to the different attributes of each instance."
"The last dungeon, because the location and scope of exploration were fixed, tested the ability to gather and organize various scattered clues in Xiao Ming's family."
"But the judging criteria for this copy are necessarily different from the first one."
"If it is also evaluated according to the scope of exploration, the campus area is so large that it is impossible to complete the exploration at the physical level."
"So, the exploration score must be focused on interpersonal relationships and copy puzzles."
"The order and regularity of our selection should be one of the important indicators of exploration."
… Li Yinhang hesitated.
She thought that Nan Zhou would say that if we find the law, we can find a way to get rid of the influence of power and go down smoothly.
After all, once Sun Guojing was completely wiped out, the two of them would soon be their turn, and the rustling could take them away at any time.
It's seamless.
As a result, people are focused on making indicators.
The attitude is also as easy as the teacher's final betting type.
It was the fourth time that Li Yinhang had heard the rustling sound that made his scalp numb, and Li Yinhang was very flustered.
But seeing how Nan Zhou was as steady as Mount Tai was to focus on them, she felt that if she acted too panicked, it would be really unnecessary.
She asked, "What are we going to do next?"
Nan Zhou talked a little too much, and planned to stop to take a break and make a plate of Nanyang stars.
He glanced at Jiang Fang.
…meaning "ask Brother Fang to go".
Jiang Fang followed suit and took over the words: "Tonight, we will go to 403 again at the time of last week's meeting."
Nan Zhou stepped on the edge of the stairs with both feet and silently agreed to the proposal.
At the same time, he plans to go to the supermarket for a while and buy a few more apples.
The thought of apples made him feel better.
But he couldn't help but think of that beautiful woman.
-Because what the woman dug and planted downstairs in his house was an apple tree.
In a short while, the green treetops grew all the way to the window of his second-floor bedroom, bringing him the fruity scent of a room.
That's when Nan Zhou fell in love with eating apples.
Thinking about the past like this, Nan Zhou turned his head casually, and the corner of the light happened to land on Jiang Fang who was holding a sticky note with something written on it.
He froze slightly.
Just now, the smile on the corner of the woman's mouth in his memory, and Jiang Fang's smile in his natural state, corresponded closely.
The professional habit developed by working in the casino for a long time makes Jiang Fang smile even in a relaxed state.
Aware of Nan Zhou's gaze, Jiang Fang turned over the sticky note with the words "Nan Zhou's girlfriend" written on it, pressed it on his knees, and turned his face away.
The curvature of the corners of his mouth rose even more, and under the brilliant daylight, it was so pleasing that one could not take his eyes off it.
He asked, "What's wrong?"
Nan Zhou looked away and held the Nanji Xing, who was sniffing the fruity aroma with his fingers.
"… nothing.":,
