She's so silly, really.
She was only thinking about messing up the situation, trying to fish in troubled waters to find her identity, but she forgot that she was in the cage just now, and the monster thought she was playing with it.
She only thought that this monster was raised by humans, but she didn't expect that it was still a child, so dependent on humans.
... Also, this monster is so burly, why is it still a cub? !
Although she knew that this was a chance for her to survive the game, she still wanted to curse!
Ok, now comes the problem.
After fighting the monster on the stage, she already had the opponent's breath on her body.
Whipping, whistling... These are all things she learned from the animal trainer. At that time, she was just trying to make the monster see her as someone who couldn't attack the animal trainer through similar behaviors.
The result is that the monster has clearly identified itself, sniffing her scent, and insists on following her.
Thinking of this, Ruan Bai almost shed tears.
At this time, the attendants of the manor had quickly found the candles, illuminating many passages clearly.
A group of guests ran towards the bright place, and there were already four or five staff members standing there, checking the identity of each guest who came.
Seeing the opportunity, Ruan Bai didn't bother to care about the monster behind him, and ran towards one of the unmanned passages following Gu Buchao.
The little monster followed behind her in small steps, flicking its tail back and forth happily.
It is estimated that it has been kept in captivity on weekdays, and is rarely freed, so that after it is released, it wants to walk around again, but it doesn't know where to go.
It is also beneficial to let the little monster follow, that is, the waiters here turn pale when they see the monster, and avoid it far away.
... At least, for now, as long as they don't leave this monster, no one will dare to ask Gu Buchao's identity.
She simply treated it as if she was walking the dog.
Relying on the protection of the little monster, Ruan Bai began to talk with Gu Buchao.
Gu San lowered his voice, and first told her about his discovery.
For example, the internal management of this manor is quite strict, for fear that everything under the ground will be exposed, and the status of these guests in the outside world should not be low.
"What do you think is the purpose of setting up that kind of fighting arena in this manor?" Ruan Bai asked, "If you just watch wild beasts fight, you don't feel the need to be so careful, right?"
In particular, even if you choose beasts, why do you still need their appearance? Could it be that they have other functions in the future
"I don't know," Gu Buchao shook his head in a rare way when he heard her question, "But when I arrived at the game, I found this thing from my luggage."
He took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, and spread it out under the dim candlelight, revealing the dense, clear and neat characters inside—
This is a cancer diagnosis certificate.
Judging from the information in the medical certificate, Gu Buchao was already extremely ill and would not live long.
Ruan Bai didn't think the medical certificate was an accident, it was obviously a hint from the game.
So, the people who came here to participate in the underground party were all terminally ill people
What happened to this group of patients, do you want to have a final carnival before dying
"Since the game makes us not need to investigate the truth, we should properly understand the information we can grasp and know how to escape."
Seeing that Ruan Bai was deep in thought, Gu Buchao took back the medical certificate and said: "His identity is a waiter, and he is probably in the back office. When I came in, I saw four or five members of the raccoon dog. Their identity It seems to be a waiter."
He frowned: "I'm worried that Shen Qingyun will follow the group of raccoon dogs. Since it's too chaotic, let's hurry over and find him."
Ruan Baibi had no objection.
Before she came into this game, she took a stack of materials about DSAS from Second Uncle Shen. Although Second Uncle Shen didn't say anything, Ruan Bai knew that this bit of information probably took Uncle Shen a lot of effort.
Not to mention anything else, at least for these materials, she also wants to take care of Shen Qingyun to prevent him from continuing to learn bad things.
Thinking of this, they ran to the back room together.
During this period, the monster followed them closely, and Ruan Bai could hear the sound of its "da da da" footsteps when it happily stepped on the floor.
At first, Ruan Bai was afraid that it would bite her if it was unhappy, but after a long time, she thought about letting it go, and if it was hungry, she would exchange some food from the system mall to feed it.
In this way, the two of them followed the passage, guided by the map on the wall, and hurriedly groped to the back room.
Soon, they broke open the door of the back room and found the situation inside—
As Gu Buchao said, Shen Qingyun really stayed in the back room.
The ones with him are naturally the members of the six raccoon dogs.
They did not know what method they used to kidnap several staff members and four guests, tied them up after they were knocked out, and threw them together in the back room for the purpose of seizing their identities.
When Ruan Bai and the others came over, these people were still picking at the NPC's clothes, and found a bunch of ID cards on them.
"Hey, isn't this the woman who was fighting on the stage just now?" Suddenly, a raccoon member spotted Ruan Bai and shouted in surprise, "She is indeed a player, I guessed right."
Hearing what he said, the eyes of the others immediately turned to Ruan Bai.
At this moment, Shen Qingyun was standing among a group of raccoon dogs.
He had changed into the costume of the guest, and still held the white mask in his hand.
Seeing Ruan Bai and the others, he seemed a little happy, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
But when the monster behind Ruan Bai ran over and showed his huge head, the smile on his face froze immediately.
"Brother Qingyun?"
So before Ruan Bai stretched out her hand to say hello, she saw Shen Qingyun's face change, she picked up the raccoon dog members next to her, turned around and ran away.
"There are monsters, let's go!"
Ruan Bai: "..."
Although she knew that their friendship was not strong, and it could even be said that there was no so-called friendship at all, but seeing Shen Qingyun abandoning them like this, she still wanted to beat him up!
Ruan Bai was very angry, but Shen Qingyun and the others slipped away too fast, and she didn't have the strength to chase after them.
Forget it, at present, Shen Qingyun can survive with the raccoon dog, and he doesn't seem to need her and Gu Buchao's concern.
For the time being, let Shen Qingyun mix with those people first.
The raccoon members ran very fast, and after a few seconds, only the bound NPCs were left in the entire back room.
Ruan Bai looked down and found that there were two female waiters here. They probably discovered the raccoon's behavior by accident, and they simply caught them together.
She thought about it, picked up one of the women's outfits, and after talking to Gu Buchao, she found a room and changed the clothes on her body.
In order not to be caught back into the cage immediately, and to be able to move freely for a while, she decided to sneak into the staff first.
At the same moment when the game announced the rules, it also vaguely revealed the unspoken rules: as long as other identities can be obtained through means, players can change identities.
In this underground manor, it is obvious that there is a class stratification such as "guest-server-monster".
The highest status is the guests, so their identity verification is the most cumbersome, not only need an ID card, but also an ID code number, but every guest has a white mask on his face, which makes it easy for players to pretend to enter.
The second in status is the staff.
Being them, it is easy to be noticed by other NPCs who are also waiters, but they each have a master/key/key that can open all the doors here, and they can easily sneak into each room to hide or find clues.
The one with the worst status is a "monster" like Ruan Bai.
The advantage is that no identity is required, and with the little monster following her, she can go wherever she wants without being stared at by others.
Its main disadvantage is that the potential danger of this identity is too high.
Ruan Bai always felt that her identity was not good, and the idea in her heart was to get the identity of a guest, because her face had been exposed long ago, and the guest had a mask.
However, when there is no choice at present, it is not impossible to pretend to be a waiter.
Thinking of this, she found the waitress' ID card and key, opened a certain room outside, closed the door, and began to change clothes.
In order not to let the little monster come and make trouble, Ruan Bai deliberately circled around and walked a long way before picking a room to enter.
The interior of this room is not particularly large. Ruan Bai glanced through the candle lights outside and found that this place seems to be a place where people live. The interior decoration is comfortable and exquisite, very much like a hotel outside.
Next to the bed, there were men's coats hanging, a suitcase was placed in the closet, and several pairs of shoes were neatly placed beside the bed.
And on the bookcase at the side, there are some things that are obviously personal items.
In addition to laptops and some books, there are also bottles of medicine and injections.
Ruan Bai looked through the medicine, and found that she couldn't even understand the name.
But she knows that the guests here are more or less seriously ill, so this area is used for the guests to rest
If she can find out the room that the game arranged for Gu Buchao, will she be able to find out Gu Buchao's ID card and ID code number through his items
After discovering this, Ruan Bai's eyes lit up immediately.
After quickly changing her clothes, she was about to go out excitedly, found Gu Buchao, and told him what she had found.
But at this moment, a faint tingling pain suddenly came from her waist.
She froze for a moment, and found that the mermaid bell that she put in her pocket was hot again.
Ruan Bai still hasn't figured out the existence of the mermaid bell.
Normally, the mission props in the game cannot be brought out by the player, but it really followed Ruan Bai to reality.
Ruan Bai asked the system several times before, but the system always replied to her with only one sentence [unknown error].
The mermaid bell itself doesn't have any extraordinary functions, most of the time it's more like a pendant. After thinking about it, Ruan Bai still brought it with him.
However, Ruan Bai also discovered a pattern after the last game.
That is, whenever the mermaid bell is hot, there is some important information that will appear.
What is it trying to remind her now
Could it be that there is something else in this room related to Du Wenshu or DSAS
When Ruan Bai was confused, a woman's slow footsteps came from outside the room.
Appearing with the footsteps was her faint, deliberately low voice.
"... I have already sent a generation of experimental products. At this point, you try to appease Du Wenshu and tell him that as long as the ability of the first generation is correct, then I will allocate another sum of funds to his project..."
Du Wenshu!
Hearing this, Ruan Bai's heart moved, he quietly opened the door, and took a look outside—
It was an elegant woman of about forty years old wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
Ruan Bai recognized her the first time he saw her.
A certain executive from DSAS was also a character in the information Uncle Shen gave her.
In the past two months or so, Ruan Bai has read the portraits and materials of those NPCs countless times, and he would dream of them every time he dreams.
Even in a dimly lit corridor, she could recognize it instantly.
This woman, surnamed Qin, is in charge of research and development and biotechnology within DSAS.
Of the ten research institutes within DSAS, she can control at least five of them.
At this time, the woman seemed to be talking to someone, and her tone of voice was slightly impatient.
"...I've told you many times, when it's time to break, don't be indecisive, remember that you are the leader, he's just a researcher..."
"... You don't need to come to me for this matter in the future. Now there is a problem in the manor. It seems that someone has slipped in. You'd better pray that there aren't some journalists who like to make trouble..."
The woman walked all the way through the door where Ruan Bai was, and finally stopped outside a certain room.
She easily unscrewed the door lock, pushed the door in, and then closed the door.
Perhaps for the sake of secrecy, the sound insulation of these manor rooms is very good.
The moment the woman entered, her voice completely disappeared outside the corridor.
Seeing this, Ruan Bai gritted his teeth, slipped out of the room quietly, and stuck outside Ms. Qin's door, trying to overhear some news.
Although Uncle Shen told her that he didn't know Du Wenshu, Ruan Bai always felt that Du Wenshu should not be just an ordinary researcher.
She still wanted to continue to investigate everything related to Du Wenshu. Her intuition told her that as long as she could continue to investigate, she could reveal part of the truth of the game.
The woman in the house didn't notice that there was someone outside, and she was talking fiercely to the person on the other end of the phone.
Ruan Bai listened carefully, and could barely understand it.
It seems that my identity is related to Du Wenshu's experiment.
She is known as the "Generation Experimental Product" and is currently the only and most perfect product of Du Wenshu.
Maybe he wanted to keep her for research, but he didn't expect that she would be sent by DSAS, so Du Wenshu began to resist the experiment, which ruined the progress of many DSAS research and development projects.
Although Ms. Qin refers to Du Wenshu as an "ordinary researcher", through her language, Du Wenshu's status is obviously more than that.
"... It's because you insisted on recruiting him. How many times have I said before that factors that cannot be controlled should not exist and should not come in!"
"He knows how much dark history we have, and how much technology he has mastered. He was blinded by our affairs when he was in school. He has no good intentions. Why are you so stupid!"
I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, the voice of the woman in the room raised a lot, and the originally calm and elegant tone became irritable.
Ruan Bai listened to her words dumbfounded. The amount of information that appeared in just a few seconds was so huge that she couldn't bear it.
How is this going
Was Du Wenshu malicious to DSAS
Is this a word from a woman, or is it the truth
Ms. Qin in the room continued to scold the person on the other side of the microphone, and a voice came from behind Ruan Bai.
"So soft?"
It's not caring.
In the darkness, Gu Buchao couldn't see her movements clearly, he could only vaguely see her clothes, thinking that she had lost her way, so she stood still here.
He hurried over, grabbed her wrist, and said in a slightly anxious tone, "Come on, a staff member is here, that monster was taken away with anesthesia, it's not safe anymore!"
Although his voice was very low, it still seemed unusually abrupt in the empty and quiet corridor.
Ruan Bai: "..."
Oops!
"—I still have something to do here, let's not talk about it."
The moment Gu Buchao finished speaking, the woman's originally angry voice was suppressed in vain.
The toe of her shoe hit the ground with a slight "pop".
This sound was like an alarm, making Ruan Bai's heart skip a beat outside the door.
It's over, Gu Buchao's voice was heard, she definitely found someone outside!
what to do
The woman's high-heeled shoes stepped on the tiled floor, and the sound of "thump, thud, thud" was unhurried and rhythmic, but without hesitation, she walked straight towards Ruan Bai's position outside the door.
Now there are no corners on both sides of this corridor, even if you sneak into other rooms, it will be too late.
And as a alien sent by DSAS, the executives of DSAS must remember her face. If she is caught, she will be miserable!
What should she do
Seeing the confused Gu Buchao, hearing the increasingly clear sound of the woman's high-heeled shoes, Ruan Bai's heart faltered, and his eyes gradually pityed him.
I'm sorry, Brother Gu, but I really have no other choice.
In order to survive, I can only wrong you a bit!
The moment the woman came out, Ruan Bai stretched out his hand, and slapped Gu Buchao hard!
It's just that she didn't know if it was her illusion, the moment her palm touched Gu Buchao, she felt a coldness in her palm, with an indescribable chill.
"Snapped!"
With a clear and crisp slap, Gu Buchao froze in place, and the woman's footsteps also stopped.
"Mr. Gu, please...please don't say such things again!"
Ruan Bai's body trembled, his small face was pale, his watery eyes were red, and he almost couldn't help crying.
She bit her lower lip slightly, and said stubbornly: "Even if you are rich, you can't humiliate me like this, even if you can get my man, but you will never get my heart!"
After finishing speaking, she whimpered, covered her face, turned and fled in embarrassment.
Gu Buchao:? ?
woman:"… "
