Chapter 8: No. 7 Middle School (8)

“If you don’t like it, I won’t wear it.”

Bai You smiled gently, as if she hadn’t seen Lin Sheng at all. She sat next to Si Yu, very close to him, “Did you just wake up? Your hair is all messy. Let me help you sort it out.”

“Dirty.”

A word floated in the air.

Bai You: “…”

She continued to endure.

Bai You raised her hand and waved it in front of the boy. Her slender white knuckles were clean and flawless, and her nails reflected a glossy luster under the warm light.

She stared at Si Yu without blinking, and said seriously, “I washed my hands.”

The boy didn’t say anything now.

Bai You took it as an agreement and raised her hand to cover the furry head. The black hair was unexpectedly soft, hanging down fluffy, layer upon layer.

The boy lowered his head indifferently at this moment, with his eyelashes drooping, which gave her an illusion of obedience, like some kind of docile large cat.

She couldn’t help but rubbed him.

Si Yu suddenly raised his eyes, and under his lashes, his black eyes were sharp, looking at her alertly.

“…What are you doing?”

“Ahem.”

Bai You wanted to find an excuse to say that she accidentally touched him, but then she thought, they are now in a relationship, so what’s wrong with touching his head?

So she immediately stood up and spoke with confidence.

“I didn’t do anything, just touch my head, is that okay?”

A light laugh.

“Okay.”

This laugh didn’t sound gentle, but cold and chilly.

He looked calm and said in a calm voice.

“Continue.”

Bai You: “……?”

Something is wrong, there is a trick.

She only knew that when girls said this when they were angry, they were usually speaking in a sarcastic way, and if she really did what they said, she would be doomed.

Is it the same for boys?

But…

Bai You pondered for a moment.

The boy’s brain circuit was unusual, and he could not be guessed by normal people’s thinking, so it was better to do it first.

This way, she could also use his words to refute when she defended herself. He asked her to continue.

So Bai You put her hand on it again, as if she was stroking a cat’s fur, rubbing it neither lightly nor heavily, gently and slowly, stroking the scalp bit by bit, the slightly hard hair roots, and finally the soft hair.

Her stroking fur technique was practiced from hundreds of kittens. Basically, no kitten could resist being stroked by her. They were all reluctant at first, but later they collapsed on her legs with a humming sound, allowing her to do whatever she wanted.

Obviously, Si Yu was the same.

The boy was very restless at first, and his aura was restless, but as Bai You slowly stroked his fur, he gradually calmed down.

The anger he had because his sleep was disturbed gradually dissipated, and the creepy aura settled down. Now he was more like an ordinary boy, but still cold and distant.

He leaned on the recliner, and his overly beautiful eyes even half-closed in pleasure, as if he was enjoying such comfort.

Bai You was very calm and continued to stroke his fur without emotion.

She knew that no kitten could resist her rubbing skills.

But…

After rubbing for more than ten minutes, Bai You raised her stiff and sore arm, and touched it here and there under Si Yu’s instructions. Finally, looking at the boy’s lazy and sober expression, she was more or less silent.

Kittens are not as difficult to serve as you!

Finally, Bai You let go of her hand, sat down on the chair next to her, and rubbed her sore arm.

I’m going to quit, I’m on strike.

Whoever wants to do it can do it. She won’t do it even if you pay her more.

Petrating fur is a hobby, but it would be painful to do it all the time.

The young man in front of her looked at her lazily, half-raising his eyelids. The dark red eyes under his long eyelashes lacked some dangerous coldness. The calm eyes looked gentle and harmless.

He glanced at Lin Sheng lying on the ground and asked casually.

“You want to save him, right?”

When Bai You saw his eyes clearly, her eyes froze slightly.

She quickly pretended not to notice, smiled, nodded slightly, and simply admitted, “He is my classmate, I definitely can’t leave him alone.”

She was very sure that Si Yu had black eyes before, and they had looked at each other just a dozen minutes ago, so there was no mistake.

In other words, his eye color changed while she was stroking his fur.

And from the look on his face, it seemed that he didn’t even notice it.

When she was stroking his hair, she felt that the roots of his hair were cold at first. She thought it was due to his physical condition and didn’t pay much attention to it. Now she thought it was weird.

The cold body, coupled with the dark red eyes, made her think of a creature.

“Then, as you wish.”

The boy stood up. He was probably very happy to be served by Bai You. He was in a good mood at the moment and agreed without saying anything to embarrass her.

He even kindly warned her when he left the office.

“Time is almost up.”

Bai You watched Si Yu leave and silently said this in her heart.

Time is almost up…

Is it referring to something that is about to happen?

And from what Si Yu said, it seems that it is not a trivial matter.

“Bai You…?”

Lin Sheng’s slightly hoarse voice came from behind, and Bai You’s heart jumped.

It’s over. Her mask was ruined by Si Yu, the little bastard.

She thought Lin Sheng would not wake up for the time being, and planned to find another mask to deal with it, and then come back to wake him up.

…Forget it.

You have to die sooner or later.

Bai You turned around calmly, “You woke up.”

“…”

“Bang——”

The chair fell to the ground.

Lin Sheng sat on the ground, looking at her with horror in his eyes.

Bai You: “…”

She knew it.

Bai You slowed down and opened her mouth to explain: “Listen to me…”

Lin Sheng interrupted her.

“So you are an NPC…”

“No, I’m a player…”

“You even disguised yourself as a player to sneak into our team…”

“I’m really not an NPC…”

“Cheat us and get information from us!”

“…”

Bai You was silent.

It seems impossible to refute this.

Bai You sighed, walked over and helped Lin Sheng up from the ground, “Don’t get excited, calm down first.”

Lin Sheng dodged her hand and stood up by himself, holding on to the table, and stepped back several steps in fear.

“Don’t come over!”

Bai You: “…”

Okay.

“I won’t go over, you listen to me.”

“What else do you have to say?” Lin Sheng leaned against the wall and stared at her.

Bai You sighed, why did this sound so strange?

She cleared her throat and began to sort out the logic, and her voice couldn’t help but sink a little.

“First of all, NPCs don’t know the identity of players, nor do they know that players have identity cards. Only players know about it. I don’t need to tell you more about this. I have also shown you my identity card. If you don’t believe me, I can show you again.”

“Secondly, if I were an NPC, why didn’t I eliminate you directly when I knew you were players, but teamed up with you to get those random information? This information doesn’t seem to be useful to an NPC.”

Her tone was serious, and Lin Sheng couldn’t help but listen carefully.

Thinking carefully, Bai You’s logic was not wrong. He was too nervous when he saw [the deceased Lin Songyue] suddenly become a teammate standing in front of him, and didn’t think about the details in between.

It’s impossible for an NPC to pretend to be a player.

Lin Sheng hummed, and just as he was about to speak to express his agreement with her point of view, he heard Bai You’s final summary.

“Finally, even if I am really an NPC, and I want to blend into the players to obtain information in order to complete the goal, I will not choose you three, right? After all, when I saw you, you were still deeply trapped in the illusion, and I helped you to break the illusion.”

The implication is that you are not good at it.

If I have to choose her, I will choose a high-level player.

Lin Sheng: “…”

It hurts.

No wonder they did not come to a conclusion when they discussed how to break the illusion before. It turned out that she broke it.

That makes sense.

But why didn’t she say it at that time? Did she not want to be involved with them?

Wait.

Lin Sheng suddenly remembered the tangled and hesitant look when Qi Ming invited her to join the team.

He suddenly understood.

It turned out that it was not something else, but she disliked them for being too bad, but was embarrassed to refuse.

Thinking about it, it hurts even more.

“So why are you… Lin Songyue? Or is it someone else?”

Lin Sheng asked hesitantly. He had already believed that she was a player.

But the girl in front of him was exactly the same as the corpse he saw under the teaching building, except that she was quietly closing her eyes at that time, but now she was open, and her snow-blue eyes looking at him were unexpectedly sharp and clear.

Bai You paused.

“My identity is indeed Lin Songyue, there is no mistake, so I said that what you saw was probably an illusion.”

“But I’m just guessing, I can’t be sure. I want to ask, what time was it when you entered the dungeon?”

Illusion…

Because of this experience, Lin Sheng is more likely to accept this setting, but he was a little surprised to hear Bai You’s next question.

“Ten o’clock and five o’clock. Because I have a watch on my hand, I saw the time as soon as I entered. What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

Bai You lowered her eyelashes.

Sure enough, the time they entered the dungeon was different from hers.

She entered the dungeon probably after 10:10, so there was a five-minute time difference.

The three people didn’t know when Lin Songyue’s body disappeared. They only knew that it had disappeared when they looked down from the upstairs, and even the blood was completely cleaned up.

If the body disappeared within these five minutes…

When Bai You heard them say that they had seen Lin Songyue’s body before, he had a guess. After hearing Lin Sheng’s time, he was more certain.

According to the time, before she entered the dungeon, [the deceased Lin Songyue] still existed and was seen by the players.

After she entered the dungeon and became Lin Songyue, she became [the living Lin Songyue]. There couldn’t be two Lin Songyues in the same world, so the world corrected and erased the original [the deceased Lin Songyue].

One thing is very strange.

In the dungeon, the identity of the player can be a teacher, a student, or anyone.

But it can’t be Lin Songyue.

A dead person.

But Bai You got her identity.

Although it was impossible, it still happened.

At the same time, this can also explain why other players have tasks when they enter the dungeon, but only her ID card does not have it.

After all, how can a dead person complete a task?
