Chapter 5: I Hope It's Still Too Late (Part I)
This weekend has been uneventful for most of the students in the Pilot Zone, but there are a few exceptions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Haidong joined the scavenger unsurprisingly for various reasons before, of course, this is not something that Xu Shangling can decide on wishful thinking. The scavenger refers to his elimination operation as hunting, and Haidong's ability is also believed by Wang Zhenglong to increase the speed of the hunt.
Although he is already in it, Haidong's perception of scavengers is basically based on rumors and the introduction of two newspaper bosses. With two days of contact, Haidong's attitude change can be summed up in three words, that is, black to pink.
Some rumors about scavengers are indeed true, but those so-called insiders do not know the elimination plan of the test area, they think that scavengers are an out-and-out killing organization, and they don't know that if it weren't for the scavengers to eliminate those low-ability people who have no possibility of growth under pressure and infamy, then it is difficult to say that they will be eliminated naturally one day. However, what completely changed Haidong's mind was the scavenger's rule that no matter who obtained the score through hunting, it was not allowed to be kept, and it would be cashed in and handed over. That said, no one joins for the score, which shatters the rumors that the scavengers are full of perverted murderous demons...
The courses in the pilot area are nominally the same as the outside world, but the content has been streamlined and there are no hard exams, so it is relatively relaxed. However, physical education classes can be reversed, and the intensity of physical education training in the experimental area is even greater than that of professional sports schools, because for people with superpowers, a strong body is the first condition for full superpowers.
It's Monday again, and Haidong originally wanted to find a good opportunity to explain to Liu Mo after school what happened that day, but there was one thing in his heart that had been bothering him, and this confusion was getting stronger and stronger. He deliberately turned the pen in his hand to the ground, and then took the opportunity to pick up the pen and sneaked a glance at Bai Yinghan, who was sitting diagonally behind.
As usual, she looked down at her book, looking as if she was isolated from the world.
(Could such a person really be the culprit of the murder?) Haidong asked himself again in his mind.
Although the scavenger further investigated after receiving the information provided by him and concluded that Bai Yinghan had done it, Haidong still felt a little uneasy, not because he was afraid that such a powerful figure would now become his enemy (except for Wang Zhenglong, Xu Shangling and Zhao Luoluo, no one should know the identity of the scavenger), but because he didn't want to believe that the Queen of the Wall, who was at the top of the test area, would use such obscene means to murder two people.
What is her purpose? Haidong picked up his mobile phone and sent a text message to Wang Zhenglong: Why is it sure of her?
Haidong knew that his question was a bit abrupt, and Wang Zhenglong might not reply, but it only took half a minute to see the message on the screen flickering.
(She's taking revenge)
Haidong silently recited these four words in his heart, and before he knew it, a cold sweat had broken out on his back. He turned his head sharply and saw that Bai Yinghan was still looking at the book intently, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
"Broken pen? I didn't lend you much. The people behind looked at Haidong's strange face and thought that he had come to borrow a pen.
(What a mess) Haidong looked at Xueba, who was trying to take notes behind him, frowned, and then turned his head, and the moment he turned his head, he thought of a plan.
Some people in this world hide when they encounter things, while some people prefer to go up, and they have to do something by themselves if they have nothing to do.
As soon as the first class ended, the teacher walked out of the classroom with his front foot and walked onto the podium with his back foot. He asked aloud, "Did anyone in the class buy the new game Overwatch?" You can play with your friends. "Haidong's popularity is actually quite good (although he was positioned as the public enemy of the whole class because of Liu Mo's affairs)
"No kidding, you bought that kind of masterpiece?" Chen Xin (Haidong's sworn friend) sneered below.
"That's it." Many students also echoed the echo.
Chen Haidong stepped down from the podium, "If you can't afford it, don't talk," and then he walked next to Weng Tianyang, "Fatty, I know you bought it, report it to me." ”
Weng Tianyang nodded, "It's okay to take you flying, my Yuan clan is playing Thief 6, but you should always show something that I have been looking for you for so long." ”
"I don't have what you want, you think too highly of me." Haidong knew that Weng Tianyang was referring to Liu Mo's private photo.
"Then it can't be helped." Weng Tianyang shrugged his shoulders and put on a helpless look. "It's rare that the old driver wants to take you in the car."
Haidong didn't care, anyway, he didn't really buy it, he just wanted to observe how Bai Yinghan would react, after all, the root of the causal murder started from the game "Overwatch Guard". But what disappointed him was that Bai Yinghan was reading the book from beginning to end, and he didn't even raise his head when Haidong walked up to the podium and announced it loudly.
Then Haidong made a crazy decision, a decision that made him feel scared in hindsight. He walked up to Bai Yinghan.
"Classmate, have you ever played Overwatch Defender?"
Bai Yinghan raised his head and saw that Haidong's eyes had subconsciously moved elsewhere (he didn't dare to make eye contact with Bai Yinghan).
"Nope." Then he lowered his head and began to read.
"Well, that's sorry to bother." Haidong smiled and apologized, and then hurried away.
As soon as he returned to his seat, he found that Weng Tianyang was already sitting in the seat in front of him. "You don't want the queen to play with you, do you?" Weng Tianyang whispered.
Of course the answer is not, but Haidong can't say his purpose, so he has to nod.
"Are you crazy? The queen can pinch you to death with a single finger. Weng Tianyang seemed to be worried about Haidong's safety, but there seemed to be a layer of jealousy in his words.
"Hmm." Haidong responded, his attention now completely focused on analyzing Bai Yinghan's "no" just now.
"Okay, count on you." Hearing the class bell ringing, Weng Tianyang stood up and said the next sentence.
There is no doubt that Haidong wants to prove Bai Yinghan's innocence, even if the scavenger has already determined that she is the murderer. He likes Bai Yinghan, which is like a feeling of an unknown knight adoring a princess, and he only needs an attitude from the other party to go to the soup. Because of this, he still didn't want to believe that this beautiful girl who only liked to look down and read books as if she was isolated from the world would be a murderer with two lives on her hands.
He wanted to observe Bai Yinghan's reaction carefully, but when she looked up, he had already subconsciously avoided her black pupils. But I heard her say "no" in person, although there was no emotion, but it didn't seem like a cover-up or a pure dismissal. There was one thing in the last incident that made Haidong puzzled, that is, according to Zhao Luoluo, the line she investigated was a trap, the reason was that the person on the other end of the phone answered with a long interval, and the tone changed too much, sounding obviously according to other people's instructions, since the other party can calculate so many steps and deliberately expose flaws here, it must be to let them continue that line.
Although Zhao Luoluo is often quite unreasonable, as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, he will not doubt it at all, whether it is insight or mind, he believes in Zhao Luoluo's judgment, but two days ago, a hypothesis came to his mind - what if this line is also a trap.
That day, a man named Ban Changsheng told himself the remaining steps of this causal murder through abilities such as teleportation, and although the scavenger's investigation was verified one by one, Haidong now also knows the perversion of this domino-like technique, and in the process of pursuing the results, he may inadvertently fall into the branch, and the most important thing is that no matter where you investigate, you will think that the current subject of investigation is the murderer. Therefore, if the other party has long wanted to set a trap here, then whether it wants to use the hand of a scavenger to eliminate Bai Yinghan, or vice versa, it is not impossible.
It is unknown what happened to Wang Zhenglong's message that "she is taking revenge", but if this third party really exists, they can also use this matter to provoke conflict, and if so, then they are about to succeed.
Haidong didn't notice that his brain was a little too big, and he decided to go to Ban Changsheng again to ask him face to face, and he went alone, so that the other party didn't know that he already had the identity of a scavenger was the safest. He thought about it and sent a message to Liu Mo through the communication connection: I won't go to the right brush today, there are important things to deal with in the past few days, sorry.
However, Haidong, who was waiting for Liu Mo's forgiveness with anticipation, fell short, and did not wait for Liu Mo's reply until the last class, and before Haidong could react after school, Liu Mo had already left the classroom. However, Haidong couldn't manage so much, and in the last class, he sent a text message to Wang Zhenglong saying that he wanted to investigate Ban Changsheng separately, and Wang Zhenglong warned that the scavenger leadership was about to start purging the forces that hindered the organization, and the members below had better not act rashly. Haidong naturally understood the meaning of this sentence, which meant that there was not much time left for him.
He didn't care what the outcome was, he just wanted to find out the truth on his own. If Bai Yinghan was really a murderer, he would definitely not stop the scavenger from doing something to her. But if it is possible that it is a trap set by a third party, then Haidong, who compares himself to a knight, has a reason to draw his sword to help the princess in her time of need.
There was already a hint of haze in the sky, and the weather forecast announced that there would be rain tonight. Haidong got on the tram to the academy without lunch, and he really didn't know what heavy responsibility he was shouldering now, and he didn't know that the two rows of people behind him who were completely contrary to the pursuit of justice were already in tension.
......
There were only two people sitting at a large dining table, and a long-haired man used a long straw to suck up the juice in the glass, and suddenly asked, "Scavenger and Guardian Knight really fight, which side do you think has a better chance of winning?" ”
"Both sides lose, no, it's best to end up together." The short-haired man next to him was cutting a steak that looked less than five times rare with a dinner knife.
"Yo, so ruthless. Everyone, classmates, come to the test area is fate. The long-haired man counted.
The short-haired man simply threw down the knife, forked the remaining half of the steak directly into his mouth, chewed it twice, picked up the drink and took a big sip, flushed all the food in his mouth into his stomach, and then picked up the napkin and wiped it twice on the corner of his mouth. He stood up and said:
"It's all for justice, justice. Can righteous things be considered ruthless? ”
