CHAPTER 88: SIR, I WAS TAKEN CAPTIVE

Option 2 5.3 per cent, option 3 68.4 per cent and option 4 26.3 per cent.

……

[Option 3]

[Let the security guard leave first, and then find an opportunity to use the "transformation" skill to knock on the door in the conference room, trick the visitor into opening the door and take the opportunity to escape]

……

【Thank you very much】

Tao Tao looked at the flashing handwriting on the watch screen and sighed.

It's been half an hour since the message to the mysterious account was sent and there is still no reply.

"Sure enough, will you only reply to topics related to the game......

These days, she's been wondering who is behind that account.

Some kind of artificial AI? Some kind of intelligent robot? A real person?

And why do you want to help yourself?

But no matter how you think about it, it doesn't work out.

Toot –

The sound of the flute sounded in the venue, pulling Tao Tao back from his thoughts to reality.

She raised her gaze and saw on the screen that the review of the final settlement was over.

Eight qualifiers have already emerged.

……

[Fifth place: Tao Tao 284 points]

……

I made the cut.

In fact, when there is still a period of time before the final statistics, Tao Tao is probably sure.

An hour ago, Tao Tao heard a name from Guo Shuang. After that, she let them go as promised, and commanded the bears to jump out of the deep well.

Bears and Tao Tao sped through the points arena where the terrain effect disappeared and the sky re-shone daylight.

Of course, the bear-man took the double-edged blunt axe that was wrapped around thunder and lightning. The electrified Greataxe is more useful than expected. It wields a great axe to devastate and slice through all the monsters it encounters. Tao Tao's points have risen rapidly, and by the time of the deadline, he has far opened up the sixth place by more than 30 points.

However, the scores of the top few are all very different. Even more exaggerated, the first place.

She looked at the screen.

……

[First place: Xue Kai 371 points]

……

More than 50 points ahead of the second place.

Moreover, this name is exactly what Guo Shuang told her, causing her to be stabbed with a cursed dagger and almost unable to continue to be a magic master.

"The ...... of the combat squad Previous results were mediocre, with only two records of reaching the second round......"

This year, however, it topped the list.

How is this done?

Tao Tao thought for a moment, but still had no clue.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Adapt to the situation. Focus on the opponent in front of you. ”

She wouldn't have met Xue Kai very early. The rules of the quarterfinals are: 1st place duel with 8th place, and 2nd place duel with 7th place...... And so on.

Therefore, Tao Tao, who is in fifth place, has to duel with fourth place.

And the fourth place is ......

She looked at the roster again.

"Fourth place...... Lin Duo? ”

Another acquaintance.

The one who was about to duel Tao Tao was the leader of the "Alliance" who tried to knock her out in the first and second rounds.

The runner-up of the last session, Lin Duo.

……

Tao Tao is about to usher in a tough battle. However, Zheng Zhuo was completely unaware of this.

He is now holding his breath and carrying out an important job.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Outside a conference room somewhere in Udoma Academy, the hallway was silent.

Almost all the teachers and students went to the square to watch the game – even the students who didn't watch the first and second games will definitely go to see the third.

The school building was almost empty.

Gada, Gada.

The sound of leather shoes approaching.

One of the security guards who had just dragged Zheng Zhuo away and locked him up in the conference room had returned again.

The two of them confirmed the scene again, and after finding no information, they decided to alternate searches and patrols. According to the improvised plan, the security guard became the first patrol officer and returned here to confirm Zheng Zhuo's condition.

However, he had just approached the conference room where Zheng Zhuo was kept......

Then he heard a quick knock at the door.

Knock knock! Knock knock!

"Open the door! Open the door - is anyone there? Help me! ”

A woman's voice came from the conference room.

How could there be a woman in the conference room where the suspect in the theft of the trophy was closed? The security guard suddenly felt bad in his heart, and stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and unlocked the door of the conference room-

And leaning against the door, it was really not Zheng Zhuo, but a tall woman in school worker clothes.

"Thank you...... Thank you! ”

"Who are you? What about the man who turned out to be locked up here? ”

The security guard asked in a low voice.

"I ...... I'm in charge of cleaning this floor today......" The woman was visibly shocked, and she said intermittently, "I just walked up to see if my spare cleaner had fallen into the conference room...... As a result, I heard a man knocking the door. He said that he was also a school worker, and he accidentally locked himself in when he came in to tidy up. ”

"I quickly opened the door and let him out...... Unexpectedly, he pushed me hard, locked me in, and ran away by himself......"

What!

The suspect fled!?

Damn, it's just ten minutes of work...... No one will come to this level at this point, so it's locked here, but I didn't expect a school worker to return to pick up things! Careless!

The security guard immediately raised his watch and communicated the matter with his companion. The panicked schoolgirl also nodded and walked away from him quickly.

"That kid is gone!"

The security guard quickly communicates while calling up the surveillance screen.

"He tricked a school worker into opening the door for him - quick! Look at the surveillance! He must not have run far! Just look at the twenty minutes, outside the window and in the corridor! ”

Security guards and companions fast-forward surveillance and quick access.

However.

Soon, they discover that things are not as they thought they would.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No one ......"

From the time two security guards left until one returned, no one left the room.

The surveillance inside the room showed that the detained suspect Zheng Zhuo entered the blind spot under the surveillance. After that, until the security guard returned, there was no sign in the room, knowing the time when the security guard appeared in the corridor, the female school worker walked out of the blind corner and quickly came to the door and knocked on the door.

"Tricked!?"

What about the schoolgirl!?

The school worker who dialed his watch rushed to the stairwell.

However, the female school worker has long since disappeared.

……

"Haha, the vocal cords can also be [deformed], which is really helpful."

Zheng Zhuo quickly walked through the corridor and hid in the storage room in the stairwell. His skin quickly dissolved, his bones clicked, and after a while, he became more than ten centimeters taller, and his shoulders became wider and wider.

"Luckily, there are photos of the people in charge of sanitation posted in the conference room. Otherwise......"

His voice grew deeper and deeper, and soon, it was even lower than his original voice.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I really don't know who I should become. ”

When Zheng Zhuo raised his head again, he became the security guard who had just opened the door for him.

"Luckily, the security guard and the school worker have the same lining."

Zheng Zhuo quickly left down the stairs: he didn't know if the security guards had frozen his school worker card, and he didn't want to risk trying.

"Gotta get ahead of them before they find out...... The security room is quite close. ”

Probably because the Magic Academy is so large, there is more than one security room in the teaching building. Zheng Zhuo called up the map in his watch for the reference of the school staff, and quickly found the nearest security room.

He got there as fast as he could. No one noticed him - they all picked up their watches, nervously looking at the screen, and communicating something.

(Excuse me...... )”

Zheng Zhuo quietly took off an idle security guard's vest from the hanger on the side, and took off the security guard's hat and put it on his head.

The security guard he had become was a relatively standard size. As a result, it will be difficult for him to be distinguished from other security guards as long as he is not looking at the surveillance directly.

(Okay.) So...... )”

It's time to slip away.

Zheng Zhuo stepped outβ€”β€”

That's when it happened.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Trophies are definitely ......"

"That's right."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Check over there......"

"Yes...... Rustling...... There's a clue! ”

He vaguely heard the anxious communication of the security guards.

They're talking about stolen trophies! And, it seems, something has been discovered!

Do you want to stay and hear it?

Zheng Zhuo was shaken for a moment.

No, it's a bit dangerous, right? There is surveillance here, and if the two security guards see my whereabouts and chase after me, it is very dangerous.

I also have a map in my hand, so I can see the scene myself.

From the time of view, it felt like they were the first to find the internal signal, and then they came to me. It hasn't been long since the incident. If you go to the scene now, there should still be a lot of clues, and you can catch up with the tracking.

But......

He looked at his security uniform.

It's still a bit unsafe to become a security guard. Do you want to change into something else? For example, engineers......

That will certainly take time, though. In the unlikely event that the other party transfers the trophy out of the school, many things will become difficult: I only have a map of the school, and I have only stepped on the school, and I don't know anything about the outside of the school.

So, here's the problem.

……

【Question】

[It's time to investigate the theft of the trophy.] What to do? 】

[Option 1]

[Stay in the security room and listen to the information about the theft of the trophy]

[Option 2]

[Leave the security room and immediately follow the map to the principal's office to confirm the scene]

[Option 3]

[Go to the basement first to find a way to change the identity of the engineer, and then investigate]
