Chapter 323 Are You Trying to Trick Me? (4k)
No new NPCs were found in the teacher's office building.
The players had already guessed this result and were not disappointed.
Zhao Xun summoned a gibbon to guard the teacher's office building.
Afterwards, everyone walked towards the fourth building.
On the way, the man with the short ponytail couldn't help but ask Zhao Xun: "Why do your animals seem to understand what you say? Are they spiritually enlightened?"
Zhao Xun shrugged noncommittally and did not answer.
The man with the short ponytail wanted to ask something more, but the man with glasses on the side pulled the man with the short ponytail's arm.
The short ponytail man turned to look at the glasses man unhappily.
The man with glasses shook his head and mouthed: "Don't offend him."
The short ponytail man thought for more than ten seconds and finally understood what the glasses man meant.
If you want the next action to proceed smoothly and easily, you have to completely rely on Zhao Xun.
Judging from the strength shown by Zhao Xun, he should have no problem if he wants to pass the game.
But other players may not be able to pass the level on their own.
Although this is a collective cooperation mission, Zhao Xun can actually choose to wait until all the players with number cards in front of him are dead, and then when it is his turn as the "main hunter", he can deal with all the NPCs.
Offending Zhao Xun would not do them any good.
Therefore, if Zhao Xun is unwilling to answer the question, then he should not ask again.
The man with the short ponytail didn't speak again, but he was still a little unconvinced.
It's not that he was dissatisfied with Zhao Xun's attitude, he just felt that he was just asking out of curiosity and didn't insist on forcing Zhao Xun to answer. It couldn't be considered as offending Zhao Xun, right?
The man with glasses didn't let him speak, which seemed like he didn't know anything similar.
The fourth building was quickly searched and found nothing.
Zhao Xun summoned the hanging monkey to guard, and the group went to the fifth building, the library building.
The library building has three floors in total, and each floor is divided into two parts: a study room and a library.
The study room is full of tables and chairs, and the tables don’t have table bases. You can basically see them all at a glance, and no one can be hidden.
The library is filled with rows of bookshelves. The bookshelves are filled with books. The view is seriously blocked, but it may be possible to hide people.
Zhao Xun and others searched room by room. Finally, I found the thin woman lying on top of the bookshelf in the corner of the library on the third floor.
This is the only row of bookshelves that does not contain books, and it is long enough for a woman of about 1.5 meters to lie on it.
The woman seemed to be lazily sleeping here, and she hadn't even woken up when she was discovered.
"You really know how to enjoy it." The woman in red couldn't help complaining, "We have been walking outside for several hours and we are so exhausted that you are here fast asleep."
Just walking for a few hours is enough to make your legs sore, not to mention having to go up and down the stairs.
She could feel the pain in the soles of her feet.
Unexpectedly, the hunted NPC did not hide properly, but lay down and slept comfortably.
The more I think about it, the more annoyed I become.
"It's a good thing for us that they are not hiding so tightly." The man with glasses lowered his voice and reminded, "At least it proves that there is no way for NPCs to communicate with each other. The living NPCs don't know that one of us is very powerful. player.”
The woman in red's face brightened slightly: "That's true for you to say so."
The woman was awakened by the sound of the two talking. She half-propped her body sleepily, and suddenly woke up when she saw a group of people standing under the bookshelf.
"You are here." The woman yawned. She jumped down from the bookshelf easily and said with a very natural look, "The books here are in a mess. You need to rearrange them according to the numbers."
It wasn't until the woman came down that everyone could clearly see the nameplate on the woman's chest.
【librarian】
This time I am finally no longer a teacher.
The other players backed away several meters without saying a word, leaving only Zhao Xun standing in front of the librarian.
The woman looked at the players who were retreating in confusion and asked Zhao Xun, "What's going on with them?"
Zhao Xun smiled and replied: "It's just for convenience."
"What's convenient?" The woman was puzzled.
Zhao Xun did not answer, but just asked: "What do you think as a librarian should be most concerned about?"
"That's too much." The woman counted them with her fingers, "Maintaining a quiet atmosphere in the library, recording the times when all books are borrowed and returned, placing books in neat categories, and keeping books neat and clean, these are all my tasks. Things that should be done within the responsibilities.”
After saying that, she tilted her head and looked at Zhao Xun: "You asked in such detail, do you want to work part-time in the library?"
Zhao Xun pretended to be interested: "If I work part-time, what do I need to do?"
"You are responsible for the things I just mentioned." The woman said matter-of-factly, "Of course, if you are willing to clean, then I will not have to find other classmates to do part-time work."
Zhao Xun raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing more.
It seems that each NPC has a different attitude towards players' questions.
However, even if the NPC answers the player's question, he will never really tell the answer that is beneficial to him.
Zhao Xun's eyes wandered over the librarian.
Generally speaking, even if an NPC's "weakness" is not on the NPC, it should be near the NPC.
After all, as a "weakness", it is most reassuring to put it in a place where you can see and protect it at any time.
This librarian should be no exception.
It's just that the library is much larger than the classroom and the office. It takes a lot of time to damage everything in the library.
"Get out of the door." Zhao Xun said to the players behind him without looking back.
The players realized that Zhao Xun was talking to them, and immediately turned around and ran towards the door.
The speed was very fast.
"Are you the class monitor?" The woman showed a look of understanding, but a little surprised, "They actually listen to you so much. Even if you are the class teacher, you may not be able to make all students obedient."
Zhao Xun did not respond, but raised his hands.
A dozen flaming arrows appeared out of thin air, and before the librarian could react, they flew in all directions.
The flames quickly ignited a large area of books, but they were able to turn around and continue to shoot at other intact bookshelves.
"What are you doing?!" The woman was instantly angry, and her whole body turned into a ball of gray mist, circling and spreading above the library.
It looked as if it was about to form a huge net.
I just don't know whether she wants to wrap the flames to stop the fire or wrap Zhao Xun to stop the action.
Zhao Xun was thinking about which trick to use to restrain the gray fog's action, but he saw that the gray fog suddenly flew towards the half-open window at a very fast speed.
"She's going to run!" The man with glasses who had been paying attention to the situation in the library reminded anxiously.
Zhao Xun's eyes narrowed slightly, and his wrist turned, instantly retracting all the flames in the library.
At the same time, a fine net woven by water spread out, and instantly enveloped the gray fog.
The gray fog was about to touch the edge of the window, but was entangled, engulfed, and swallowed by the water net. She kept struggling, but she couldn't get away.
The water net kept changing its shape, forcing the gray fog to change with it.
In the end, the water net became a huge water ball, and the gray fog was wrapped in the water ball, just like the fine sand in a crystal ball, no matter how it shook, it couldn't escape.
The corners of Zhao Xun's lips slightly lifted, revealing a satisfied look.
He just felt that whether it was water mist or smoke, it could be dissolved in water. No matter which type of gray fog belonged to, the probability of being restrained by water should be the highest.
It really worked.
The gray fog couldn't struggle free, so it simply turned back into human form.
"Your arson is a serious crime!" The woman's voice came out clearly, as if it was completely unaffected by the water ball, without the slightest suffocation, "Imprisoning me is even more of a crime!"
"You are all really dedicated." Zhao Xun smiled, "At this time, you can still maintain your character and speak lines."
There are no police here, so who can convict him?
Besides, even if there are police, he will not be threatened by a word from the librarian.
The most important thing is that this platform game, although it has a campus background, has no background story.
In those games with complete background stories, NPCs will not even realize the identity of "players" and will not know that they are just NPCs.
For those NPCs, the survival game world is the real world, and their lives are also real lives.
But this time the situation was different. The name "NPC" would be directly mentioned during campus broadcasts.
So NPCs are very clear about their actual identities.
They said these lines just to maintain their personalities, not really thinking that they are this identity.
The woman's expression was stiff for a moment.
She couldn't say more.
Zhao Xun hooked his finger at the librarian, and the water ball immediately moved closer to Zhao Xun.
The woman didn't struggle. She looked straight at Zhao Xun and sneered: "Even if you trap me, I won't take the initiative to tell you where my weakness is."
"You don't need to say it," Zhao Xun smiled very warmly, "I have guessed it roughly."
The woman was startled, and then questioned with disbelief: "You are deliberately deceiving me in order to get my words, right?"
As she spoke, she recalled all the conversations between her and Zhao Xun.
She was sure that she didn't let anything slip, and it was absolutely impossible that there was any sentence that gave Zhao Xun a hint.
Zhao Xun didn't answer the librarian. He turned his head and looked outside the library door, and waved to the monkey-faced man.
The monkey-faced man immediately ran to Zhao Xun's side.
He looked at Zhao Xun expectantly: "I'm ready!"
Since Zhao Xun asked him to come, it means that Zhao Xun really knows where the librarian's weakness is.
He secretly rubbed his hands and was ready to dispose of a certain item at any time.
Zhao Xun said "hmm", but his eyes were always on the librarian.
The monkey-faced man was a little puzzled, not understanding why Zhao Xun hadn't taken action yet.
Just when he couldn't help but want to ask Zhao Xun, Zhao Xun suddenly reached into the water ball and grabbed the librarian's badge.
The librarian's face changed drastically, and she immediately wanted to raise her hand to grab Zhao Xun's arm.
Who knew that she couldn't even lift her arm now.
It was obviously soft water, but it became as stagnant as solidified cement.
Her body was tightly wrapped, and she couldn't even turn her head.
The only place that was a little loose was around the hand that Zhao Xun stretched in.
But Zhao Xun was extremely fast. When the librarian found that he could not move and was about to take action against the slack position, Zhao Xun had already pulled his hand out of the water ball.
Now, the librarian had no chance to move.
"Is it this?" The monkey-faced man asked curiously, "How did you know?"
"When she ran, she didn't try to take anything with her." Zhao Xun threw the nameplate to the monkey-faced man and answered in a good mood, "The clothes she wore didn't have any pockets, so she couldn't hide anything. As a 'weakness', the items are more or less unique. It's unlikely to be clothes or shoes, so it can only be the nameplate."
It was not until this time that the librarian realized where she was exposed.
It wasn't what she said, but her escape.
If she wanted to escape, she would never leave her "weakness" in this room that could be engulfed by flames at any time.
But she didn't take anything with her, which only meant that her "weakness" was originally on her.
The woman's face became very ugly, and she couldn't keep a trace of calm.
She wanted to beg for mercy, but she also knew that begging for mercy was useless.
In order to pass the level, the players would never have sympathy for her.
Her eyes gradually turned red, and her tears were swallowed by the water ball, so that even her tears could not be seen.
Zhao Xun spread out his palm, and a ball of fire the size of a ping-pong ball was suspended above his palm.
"Use my fire." He said to the monkey-faced man.
This nameplate is made of metal, and it will burn too slowly with ordinary fire. He didn't want to wait that long.
The monkey-faced man looked at the fireball in Zhao Xun's hand and hesitated: "Will it work if you use your fire? Will it be counted as a nameplate that I didn't burn?"
"Use something else to ignite my fire, and then use that thing to burn the nameplate." Zhao Xun reminded, "Try it first, and then we'll talk if it doesn't work."
The monkey-faced man nodded, looked around, picked up the nearest thick book, and put a corner of the book into the fireball.
The book immediately caught fire, so fast and fierce that the monkey-faced man was completely unprepared.
He only felt his fingers burning, and instinctively let go.
The book fell to the ground, and half of it was burned in an instant.
"Hurry up." Zhao Xun took back the fireball in his hand and urged.
The monkey-faced man reacted and threw the nameplate into the book.
In two or three seconds, the metal nameplate began to melt.
In the water ball, the librarian screamed, and her body and the metal nameplate melted simultaneously.
Zhao Xun took back the water ball, and the librarian fell to the ground in embarrassment.
The left half of her body melted into a pool of unknown viscous substance, and the right half could no longer maintain a human appearance.
She looked at Zhao Xun with resentment, and was very unwilling to completely turn into a pool of translucent unknown viscous substance.
Outside, the campus broadcast sounded.
[The librarian has died, and the number of NPCs remaining is 8. 】(End of this chapter)
