Neverland

"What!" The middle-aged man yelled tremblingly: "I, I, I... I didn't open the door! Is there any benefit for me to open the door!"

The middle-aged man's temples were swollen, his eyes were wide open with fright, he was grasping Yan Cen's arm in vain, he looked like a fat-headed fish rolling his eyes, it was so ridiculous.

"No need to pretend." Xu Muzhou sneered, and swaggered from Du Qingqing's gun, turned around and walked towards the middle-aged man.

For a moment, Du Qingqing didn't know if he was just acting, so she could only hesitate to point the gun at him.Xu Muzhou seemed completely unafraid of the risk of the gun going off. He walked up to the middle-aged man, bent slightly, and reached into the pocket of the man's tattered suit.

"What are you doing! He wasn't at the door when he opened the door!" Lin Xiang pointed at him sharply and reprimanded, "Are you going to look away in anger when you are exposed! What are your intentions in pretending to be a player!"

Xu Muzhou didn't even look at her, he still stretched out his hand, trying to find something from the middle-aged man's pocket

"You—!" The middle-aged man subconsciously reached out to cover his pocket, and hissed, "What are you doing!"

Yan Cen's eyes sank, and the arms holding him suddenly tightened. The middle-aged man was strangled until his eyes turned white, and he struggled to break his hand. Unfortunately, Yan Cen's hand was steady and heavy. He didn't make a fuss, but the blade of the dagger pierced his flesh, and bright red blood flowed out instantly.

Lin Xiang said anxiously, "Father—!"

Xu Muzhou carefully picked something out of the middle-aged man's pocket with two fingers. He looked down and found it was a rusty dagger.

"Buy one, get one free." Xu Muzhou turned around with a half-smile, and looked at Lin Xiang: "So you are father and daughter."

Lin Xiang finally realized what she had missed, her voice stopped abruptly, and her face immediately turned pale.

After Xu Muzhou said this, he ignored her, left Lin Xiang in place, and looked down at the dagger in his hand.

The player left the school, the hard mechanism on the playground restarted, and catkins began to flutter down from the sky again.It's just that the initial stage of catkins is still very thin, and compared to the NPCs in the school, it is still tolerable.

Lin Xiang gritted his teeth, looked at Xu Muzhou, and then turned his head to look at Yan Cen.

The dagger in Xu Muzhou's hand was not sharp, and it was even rusted to the point where it could not be used. He tentatively touched the edge of the blade, and found that the blade would drop scum when it touched it, and it had no lethality at all.

There is a layer of mottled blood clots attached to the body of the knife, which is mixed with the rust, and you can't find it if you don't look carefully.

The necklace on Xu Muzhou's neck suddenly started to heat up again, even hotter than last time, Xu Muzhou understood, he touched the necklace through his clothes, as if trying to comfort something.

"This should be the dagger Sun Qian used to commit suicide." Xu Muzhou shook the dagger at Yan Cen while speaking.

Yan Cen nodded to him, indicating that he understood.

"So, this is the tool that can kill NPCs." Xu Muzhou played with the dagger, looked up at the middle-aged man, and said with a smile, "That's why you opened the door of the safe house, right?"

"You, what are you talking about!" The middle-aged man's face turned blue, and Yan Cen's strength was well controlled, neither suffocating him to death nor giving him enough oxygen to struggle.

The middle-aged man is like a screaming chicken that has been choked, still stubbornly resisting: "I didn't open the door of the safe house!"

Xu Muzhou turned a deaf ear to his sophistry, he took a step back and brought Du Qingqing in his left hand into his sight.

"For a long time after I entered the game, I thought you should be the most harmless of all people." Xu Muzhou said: "You are irritable, and you have the arrogance and arrogance unique to middle-aged people." Conceit, your weaknesses and flaws are so obvious that I have been focusing on that boy in school uniform."

"You have been hiding very well, without any flaws." Xu Muzhou suddenly smiled: "Is this the quality of a high-level player?"

"A high-level player?" Du Qingqing was puzzled first: "What high-level player."

Xu Muzhou didn't want to waste time answering her questions, so he stared into the eyes of the middle-aged man and asked, "Do you know where you showed your weakness?"

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man stopped struggling, he stared at Xu Muzhou coldly, and asked through gritted teeth, "Where?"

"On the way to the second floor." Xu Muzhou said: "You are too scared... I have to admit that your acting skills are very good, but it is precisely because you are so good that I am suspicious. Everyone here Having experienced so many escape games, although this game looks a little scary, it will never scare an old player into that kind of virtue."

"That's why you don't go into the house." Xu Muzhou shook the dagger in his hand, and continued: "Obviously I found out that NPCs won't enter the tea room, but they still stay outside for so long, they are looking for props."

Du Qingqing was confused by the flip, and she didn't know who to believe for a while. She held up the gun blankly, but she no longer had the desire to shoot.

Yan Cen, who restrained the middle-aged man, gave a low laugh, and said approvingly, "Continue."

Xu Muzhou gave him a big surprise, Yan Cen thought - he judged that the middle-aged man is a high-level player based on his aura, the hands that have killed people and stained blood are different from others, but Xu Muzhou Mu Zhou didn't know this, nor did he have such vision.

But he can deduce these from the known barren clues alone, which is really capable.If it were him who changed places by himself, he might not be as meticulous as Xu Muzhou.

"Once you get the quest item, as long as the remaining players are dead, you can get more things according to the gray rules... But then again, when the NPC breaks in, you are really not at the door, so open the door Of course it wasn't you." Xu Muzhou fumbled for the handle of the dagger, pointed at Lin Xiang: "It was you."

"Stop talking!" The middle-aged man suddenly interrupted Xu Muzhou, turned his head with difficulty, and tried to talk to Yan Cen: "This time, let's pretend that nothing happened, and you two have nothing to lose. Clear the level and come out." The points are shared equally...Brother, how about being a human being and staying in the front line?"

"Leave a line?" Yan Cen lowered his eyes first, and said softly, "You were upstairs just now, didn't you still want to kill him?"

Yan Cen's tone could not be called cold, but the middle-aged man could hear a cold sweat for no reason.

The middle-aged man admitted that he had never looked down on Xu Muzhou, and the other party looked like a rookie who had never played games before, and his mind was very simple.He has always regarded Xu Muzhou as Yan Cen's vassal, but he really didn't expect that Xu Muzhou could not only see his plan, but also be so calm that he insisted on catching the current situation before attacking him.

Yan Cen's weapon was still on his artery, and every time his artery beat, he could stick to the sharp blade impartially. Finally, the middle-aged man panicked a little and squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying. Lai: "Brother... Is there anything you can't say properly."

"Brother Yan." Xu Muzhou said suddenly, "Forget it, don't get your hands dirty."

He had already said that, of course Yan Cen would not refute his face, he loosened his hand slightly and pushed the person out.

The middle-aged man staggered and was supported by Lin Xiang. He held his neck and coughed, and looked at Xu Muzhou cautiously and tentatively: "You are also a high-level player... If you meet this time, you will be a friend and kill the NPC." , let’s pass the customs as usual, just pretend that there is no such thing, how about it?”

"Kill the NPC?" Xu Muzhou pinned the dagger that could injure Sun Qian in his backhand. He raised his eyebrows and said each word, "Sorry, I want to keep the NPC."

"You want to eat it all!" The middle-aged man suddenly raised his voice: "You are too greedy!"

"I don't have any interest in your points." Xu Muzhou said coldly: "If you players are willing to stay on the first floor, stay on the first floor to save your life. There is only one thing, if anyone dares to get in my way—"

He didn't say the second half of the sentence, but everyone could understand the threat in his words.

The catkins on the playground were getting bigger and bigger. Yan Cen's leather jacket was damaged when he fought with Sun Qian, and there were holes on his left sleeve and right shoulder. Xu Muzhou looked at him, turned his head and said to the rest of the players: : "You will enter the school in 3 minutes."

Du Qingqing covered her head with her clothes in embarrassment, and said dissatisfiedly: "3 minutes! This catkin is so big, how can it last for 3 minutes!"

"I'm not discussing with you." Xu Muzhou said in a cold voice, "Whether you make it or not is your business, and it has nothing to do with me."

After Xu Muzhou finished speaking, he turned around and gave Yan Cen a hand, and walked towards the school gate.He grew up to such a large age in peacetime, but he is not a saint, he is too lazy to do things like sacrificing oneself and repaying grievances for others.The thing he regrets most now is that he is still trying so hard to pretend to be a player, trying to find a solution that has the best of both worlds.

It's all nonsense, Xu Muzhou thought angrily.It's better to be like now, finish your work quickly and leave, leaving the group of players to escape as they like.

Yan Cen hooked the corners of his lips in a happy mood, and followed him unhurriedly - the little fox eats meat and shines its claws, and it really has a good temper when it gets angry.

It's just that the little fox's temper doesn't seem to be too long, and it seems to have calmed down after a distance of more than ten steps.

Xu Muzhou who entered the lobby did not rush back to the second floor, but stood in place and looked around.

The school hall was no different from before, the wooden handrail that was crushed by Yan Cen was still lying on the stairs miserably, and the curtain of the reception room on the left was lifted a small gap.A piece of A4-sized paper was pasted under the blackboard on the right hand side. Xu Muzhou turned on the flashlight and finally saw the words on it clearly.

It was a list of contact personnel, on which were written the emergency contact methods and contact persons of each teaching staff of the school. At first glance, it seemed densely packed, with more than twenty people.

"Xu Muzhou." Yan Cen found the target before Xu Muzhou, and he tapped on a certain line: "Dean of Academic Affairs, Wang Zhigang."

"It's still the Academic Affairs Office." Xu Muzhou straightened up: "The boy in the school uniform was the first to be killed. I always thought it was strange. There were obviously many people in the room at that time, and the corner where he was was the farthest from the door. Why? Sun Qian chose him first."

"Do you think it has something to do with the Academic Affairs Office?" Yan Cen asked.

"It was just a suspicion just now." Xu Muzhou knocked on the wall: "It's pretty sure now... we have to go and have a look."

Since Yan Cen said that the initiative of this mission is in his hands, he will try his best to cooperate, and most of the time he will not have any objection to Xu Muzhou's decision-making.

"Okay." Yan Cen said.

Xu Muzhou took a deep breath, and after making enough mental preparations, he stamped his feet, turned around and walked up the stairs.Yan Cen followed behind him, but just when he stepped on the steps, he suddenly paused and turned his head to look behind him without warning.

Xu Muzhou had been paying attention to his movements, and couldn't help but nervously asked: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Yan Cen said.

"Surprised." Xu Muzhou heaved a sigh of relief, and complained, "Scared me."

Yan Cen didn't say anything, and followed Xu Muzhou.

——But at that moment just now, he did suddenly feel a strong sense of being watched.
