Volume II: The New World Chapter 86 Conversation
Jiang Ningyuan leaned on the back of the chair, looking at the young man not far in front of him, and sometimes couldn't help but rub his sore temples.
At this time, he really had the urge to directly raise his sword and look at the past.
In fact, the situation is already very clear, the young man in front of him is the boss of this final mission, but he can't lift the table directly, he has to follow the other party little by little.
Even if Jiang Ning knew that Chen Ziyu was lying, it wouldn't work!
He is already afraid of the consequences of the direct violent breakthrough, and instead of being full of uncertainty, it is better to follow the story set by the rules step by step.
That way, he still has some time to prepare.
"Do you remember what happened?"
After thinking for a while, he sighed in his heart, and then asked out loud.
Although if he had a choice, he would rather fight directly, and he didn't really want to do this kind of reasoning plot again.
On the one hand, he is really not good at doing this kind of thing, and it is also because he doesn't have many options.
It's hard to say what will happen after that, but according to the previous experience, everything will become extremely complicated, and the original difficulty will increase in an instant.
And if you don't want to do that, you can only go on with the plot set according to the rules.
So after seeing Chen Ziyu slowly shaking his head, Jiang Ningyuan asked, "Don't remember at all?" ”
Hearing this, the young man's face was a little hesitant, and finally sighed and said, "After so many years, I really can't remember clearly." ”
Chen Ziyu admitted frankly that he was not a party in the first place, and he was also swept up by the rumors that suddenly appeared, and the whole process was actually only brought out by people to talk about at most, and there were not many things that really involved him.
"It all came so suddenly, and before we even reacted, rumors spread throughout the school."
Chen Ziyu said helplessly: "It's only half a morning, and even the students of other departments know about it." ”
The teenager told Jiang Ningyuan that he was called away by the school that morning, and no one expected that when the rumors first began to spread, someone would report them to the school's top management.
At that time, the school seemed to be trying to refute the rumors as quickly as possible, but it was interfered with, and many high-level officials received calls from outside the school, asking them to keep a low profile before finding out what was going on.
Hearing this, the corners of Jiang Ningyuan's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, how did this group of school management understand the word 'low-key'?
"As you know, the situation in my family is a bit special, and many people are tied down because of my father and grandfather's status."
Chen Ziyu sighed: "If I were just an ordinary person, the school might have been able to control it long ago without restrictions, and it would not have caused Li Shiying to commit suicide." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Ning glanced at the young man without moving, judging from what the other party said first, Chen Ziyu should not know that he knew about the events of the year.
Judging from Chen Ziyu's own state, he should know a little about the things of the year, and since the other party appeared, Jiang Ningyuan and others have never said that they knew about the things of the year.
But the other party inadvertently showed that he actually knew everything that happened back then.
It's just that such an obvious inconsistency is unlikely to appear in a top student, right?
Whether it is from Li Shiying's diary, Tian Hong's memory, or even Chen Lu's narration, it is undoubtedly not mentioned that Chen Ziyu is a student with a very high IQ.
And he is not the kind of nerd who only knows how to study, but he doesn't know anything about life and human affairs!
Would such a person easily have contradictory sentences?
In this regard, Jiang Ningyuan was deeply skeptical.
But if the other party did it on purpose, does that make sense?
"It's just...... Why did he do it? ”
He glanced at the young man in front of him without a trace, and his heart became more and more confused.
But half an hour later, Chen Ziyu said everything he knew and remembered in one breath, at least that's what he said.
And the doubts in Jiang Ningyuan's heart have accumulated more and more.
First of all, I can be sure that the other party must be lying, and I don't know if Chen Ziyu did it on purpose, many of his words are more or less inconsistent.
In the process of completing the first few tasks, Jiang Ningyuan met Tian Hong, Li Shiying, and Chen Lu, and when they told what happened back then, although there were slight differences in some places, they were still able to match each other overall.
But Chen Ziyu is different, not only does what he said not match what the previous three people said, but even some places I don't know if it was intentional, and obviously leaked a bunch of flaws.
It's like telling someone I'm lying!
Looking at it this way, things are back to square one – why did he do it?
When this thought just appeared in Jiang Ningyuan's heart, he immediately glanced at the corner of Chen Ziyu's mouth, and a hint of a smile seemed to flash.
He's kidding me?
An idea popped into his mind, and everything seemed to have a reasonable explanation in an instant.
If that's the case, then everything makes sense.
It's just that in this way, what role did Chen Ziyu play in this matter?
Jiang Ningyuan had a faint feeling in his heart, as long as he could figure this out, then most of this final task would be completed!
He stretched out his hand and made a gesture behind his back without moving, and Xu Lin, who had been hovering around the nearby file shelf, saw this, and a faint color flashed in his eyes, and then walked away as if nothing happened.
After feeling the departure of his dead friend, Jiang Ningyuan sat upright to keep himself in a fighting posture, and then began to look at the young man in front of him again.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but after having a conjecture, when he looked at Chen Ziyu again, he suddenly felt the innocent expression on the other party's face, no matter how he looked at it, he felt a little fake.
"I'll take a look at it first."
"First of all, the rumor spreads throughout the school within two or three hours, and then you are called for an interview alone because of your family background. ”
"And in the afternoon, when the school wanted to control the rumors, they received a call from someone related to your family, asking them to keep a low profile and not to make a public statement until they found out."
"Then Li Shiyin committed suicide that night, and you were grounded in your home."
"A few days later, you got out and went back to school, talked to Teacher Chen Lu, and after a bad breakup, you appeared here."
Jiang Ningyuan leaned forward slightly as he spoke: "But why are you talking a little different from Tian Hong?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Ziyu smiled indifferently: "Maybe she remembered it wrong, she was also mentally unstable at that time, maybe it was because of her roommate's suicide and public opinion outside, otherwise she would not have made the same choice as Li Shiying later." ”
The young man spread his hands helplessly, and there seemed to be a hint of sigh in his eyes.
"How do you know that Tian Hong later chose to commit suicide?"
Jiang Ningyuan said with a subtle look in his eyes: "As far as I know, Tian Hong couldn't stand the public opinion around him and the eyes of others in the second year after the incident, and finally chose to cut himself off. ”
"And you, more than half a year before Tian Hong's suicide, died and lived in the old archives."
He carried the Pure Yang Sword, tapped the floor with the tip of the sword one by one, and looked at the young man's eyes very delicately.
Hearing this, Chen Ziyu's face immediately changed slightly, but then he changed to a smile, shrugged his shoulders casually, and then said: "Although I am trapped here, there are always people who will come to the archives, so it is not strange that I know this." ”
This argument is far-fetched, but it is not entirely unacceptable, but no one will believe any of his claims anymore.
Jiang Ningyuan smiled and did not continue to speak, but looked at the other party quietly, but a playful color flashed in his eyes.
The young man couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw this, and then he understood, and couldn't help laughing a few times at himself: "When did it start?" ”
"Start with the first words you say."
He replied with a smile.
Chen Ziyu didn't seem to expect him to admit it so calmly, and he didn't know what to say for a while, just looking at the smile on the other party's face, for some reason he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
For him, there seems to be a feeling of being teased by his own toys.
Yes, he has always regarded Jiang Ningyuan and the others as his toys, the only thing he can accept in the past twenty years, everything that does not belong here.
However, before he could play comfortably, this 'toy' began to tease him?
"I heard that you are very smart, whether it is Li Shiying or Tian Hong, they are all saying so."
Jiang Ningyuan looked at him from afar, and said seriously word by word: "But I didn't find out where you were smart, self-righteous left loopholes in every sentence, do you think others can't find out, or do you deliberately want others to find out?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Ziyu was about to speak, but he didn't give the young man a chance to reply.
"You probably want to see others discover the loophole, but you don't dare to expose it for a while, so you can only hold back and cooperate with your performance here, right?"
He sneered and said, "Are you treating others as clowns, or are you actually a clown yourself!" ”
Chen Ziyu's face changed suddenly, and his eyes even began to glow with cold light.
After Jiang Ningyuan said this, this seemingly melancholy and innocent teenager finally planned to take off his disguise.
It's just that as soon as he revealed his true nature, people found that the young man was never weak, his eyes were full of madness and cruelty, and a touch of coldness appeared on his clean and handsome face at the same time.
"You should continue to play stupid and cooperate with me to put on this play."
Chen Ziyu said coldly: "In this way, when you die, you won't have too much pain......"
As the words fell, the flashlight in Jiang Ningyuan's hand suddenly exploded with a 'bang', and his eyes suddenly fell into darkness!
