Chapter 122: Even Thieves Have Honor
Chapter 122: Even Thieves Have Honor
Gu Yi returned to the dormitory and lay on the bed to rest.
It's 4 o'clock in the afternoon. In two hours, the Void Passage will open. If he could still work at the library today, he would definitely go again.
Both Gu Yi and Chen Zeyu received rewards of Dream Fragments. After getting the fragment, Chen Zeyu swallowed it right away.
"Why did you eat it?"
"If not eat, then what? Wait for it to somehow hatch?"
Chen Zeyu rolled his eyes and lay on the bed reading a novel.
Gu Yi opened the box and glanced at the Dream Fragment.
It was a pink crystal, with a faint sweet scent.
"Start deduction."
(Deduction begins!)
(You swallowed the Dream Fragment.)
(You don't feel anything.)
(You terminate the deduction.)
Gu Yi scratched his head, not understanding why Chen Zeyu ate this thing.
Is it because the natives of the dungeon are not of the same race as him? So, to them, the Dream Fragment is a tonic, but to him, it has no effect?
"Never mind, don't think about eating it. Better to experiment and see if the magical potion in the book works."
Gu Yi shook his head and closed his eyes.
(Deduction begins!)
(You find a bottle, a small knife, a piece of white paper, and a clean white shirt in your dormitory.)
(You hide in the toilet and close the door.)
(You cut the palm of your hand with the knife, and drop the blood into the bottle until you collect 100 milliliters of blood.)
(You tear the white shirt to bandage the wound.)
(You throw the Dream Fragment into the bottle.)
(You take out the paper, draw a magic circle according to the book's instructions, and stick it on the bottle's mouth.)
(After three minutes, you hear chaotic whispers in your ears.)
(Using psychological suggestion, you successfully resist this mental attack.)
(Your face is somewhat pale.)
(You pick up the bottle and tear off the white paper from its mouth. The blood has turned into a milky white liquide.)
(You approach the basement.)
(You look around, making sure no one is here.)
(You open the door to the basement and swallow the liquid from the bottle.)
(You feel your body become transparent.)
(You step into the void.)
(You quickly walk to the center of the basement and find a thick dictionary.)
(You hurry back to the door.)
(The time effect of walking in the void lasts for ten seconds, enough time for you to easily retrieve the dictionary from the basement.)
(You terminate the deduction!)
Gu Yi opened his eyes.
Previously in the barrage, Gu Yi learned that Chris had found clues in the basement, which is why he went to explore the basement immediately.
If there are things in the basement, then there must be something on the rooftop too. He decides to explore the rooftop as well.
However, since he used psychological suggestion during the deduction, he can only deduce it all over again.
(Start deduction!)
(You pick up the necessary tools and hide in the toilet.)
(Your technique is more proficient than the first time, and you quickly prepare the potion.)
(You climb to the top floor.)
(The rooftop door is locked; you can't open it.)
(You use psychological suggestion on yourself.)
(With a kick, you break open the door.)
(A storm from the void approaches you.)
(You immediately drink the potion.)
(You explore the rooftop.)
(You find that the structure of the rooftop is as chaotic as library's section B. Even if you can walk in the void, it's challenging to explore smoothly within.)
(Your potion's effect wears off.)
(You dissipate into nothingness.)
(You have died.)
(Deduction ends!)
Gu Yi reopened his eyes.
It seems that the next exploration target should be the library. Only by figuring out how to solve the problem of spatial chaos can he successfully explore the dormitory rooftop.
He needs to gather all the available tools first.
Gu Yi picked up the necessary tools and entered the toilet.
...
In the real world.
"Why does this guy always like to run to the toilet?"
"Maybe he has diarrhea?"
"Hahaha..."
In a certain internet cafe, a few punks typed away, even reading out the barrage comments without any sense of propriety.
The cafe owner deeply despised these hooligans and had secretly alerted the police a while ago.
Gu Yi and the cafe owner's child were not far apart in age.
While Gu Yi ventured in the Weird world, people in his own country mocked and cursed him behind his back. Anyone with a normal mind couldn’t stand it.
Ding-dong—
The bell at the cafe entrance rang.
Ah Jian, leading a special agent team, arrived at the internet cafe. He looked around and went straight to the owner, showing him his credentials.
"Dragon Country Strategy Team, Special Agent."
"You're here to catch those keyboard warriors, right?" The cafe owner blinked, pointing upstairs, "They are on the second floor, seats 43-48."
"Give me their ID information."
"They don't have ID cards. They're probably local high school students."
"So you're running an illegal internet cafe?"
The owner awkwardly coughed twice, then declared righteously, "Sure, I might be running an unauthorized cafe, but I won't stand for those kids slandering our heroes online. I'll pay any fines when the time comes, but these toxic keyboard warriors need to be dealt with."
"Huh, a thief with principles." Ah Jian sneered, signaling his team, "Two of you, cover the front and back exits. The rest, follow me."
The special agents' presence drew the attention of many.
They all dropped their mouse, staring in surprise at Ah Jian and his team.
Ah Jian went straight up to the second floor and immediately spotted a blonde guy.
He was wearing a blue school uniform with the badge of Xi Shan High School on his chest.
Gazing at the badge, Ah Jian's expression darkened. He walked over and tapped the shoulders of the group of high school students who were currently slandering Gu Yi in the live broadcast.
"Enough."
"What do you want?"
One of the students didn't look back and kept typing.
"Are you Sun Xun? Nicknamed Blondie?"
"Uh, what do you want with me?"
"You are suspected of illegal activities. Come with us."
"You're telling me watching a live broadcast is now illegal?"
When blondie turned and saw the badge on Ah Jian's chest, his face went pale.
"A... Special Agent?"
"Good that you know. All of you, come with us."
Ah Jian frowned, leading the few high school students out.
To protect their privacy, he purposefully put black hoods over their heads.
This was the second day Ah Jian had personally led an operation to apprehend these online trolls.
Despite their continuous efforts, the number of trolls online did not decrease.
"Why are you badmouthing Gu Yi on the live broadcast?"
Ah Jian had long since thought of Gu Yi as a younger brother. Seeing someone slandering him made Ah Jian angrier than anything else.
Blondie smirked stubbornly, muttering, "If I want to slander, I'll slander. None of your business..."
Bang!
Suddenly, Ah Jian pushed open the car door and dragged Blondie out. Removing the hood, he pinned Blondie against a wall and landed a punch square in his face, dislocating his nose.
Blondie immediately cried out in pain, "Damn you..."
Ah Jian placed a gun under Blondie's chin.
His teammates hurriedly got out of the car to restrain Ah Jian; this was the first time they had ever seen him so enraged.
"Brother Ah Jian, calm down."
"It's fine. I know my limits."
Ah Jian nodded at his teammates, calmly wiping away the blood from Blondie's nose, and said with a smile,
"In the era of 'Weird resurgence,' ensuring the adventurers' successful completion of 'Weird World' is the fundamental principle. Right now, you are suspected of endangering the life of an adventurer. According to the law, we can kill you on the spot. Don't mess with me. Understood?"
Upon hearing this, the team members exchanged glances.
This line....hadn't they heard it somewhere before?
