Neverland

Sun Qian's consciousness was only awake for a moment, and when Yan Cen continued to ask, he couldn't ask anything.

Those incoherent words just now were the moment when Sun Qian was closest to becoming conscious. Yan Cen could clearly see that after she finished speaking, the black mist around her weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and became almost transparent.

Yan Cen suddenly remembered the shivering black figure hovering at the door of the principal's office, and he suddenly felt that compared to Sun Qian herself, that phantom seemed more like a reflection of consciousness.

"Sun Qian!" Yan Cen shouted in a low voice, "Can you hear me?"

Sun Qian was indifferent to her own name, she was still struggling stubbornly, with a low hoarse roar coming from her throat.

The broken words she squeezed out with all her strength couldn't be connected into pieces, it was more like the instinct engraved in her soul, and it was over when she finished speaking.

The carrion and dirty blood on Sun Qian's body seeped into the ground below her body along with her struggling movements, and merged with those old bloodstains. Yan Cen looked down at the splashed blood lines on the ground, and felt that they seemed to be woven into Formed a dense blood net.

Yan Cen couldn't get any information from her, so he could only hope that Xu Muzhou could find any substantial progress clues.

Six minutes and three seconds, Yan Cen thought.

In the office, Xu Muzhou was already turning into a spinning top, his back was drenched with layers of sweat, and the cold sweat from his forehead dripped down his eyelashes, hitting the messy shreds of paper under his hands.

There are no clues.

Xu Muzhou thought almost hopelessly.

Sun Qian locked her inner world tightly, and most of the other teachers' desks and drawers did not have a word about Sun Qian.

It took Xu Muzhou a lot of effort to find a notice of withdrawal from one of the desks.

The owner of that desk was probably a Chinese teacher. The things on the desk were put together in an orderly manner. This notice of withdrawal from school was placed in the top drawer. The notice was stamped with an official seal and signed.

Xu Muzhou glanced at it hastily, and found that the disciplinary notice was really perfunctory. It only stated the punishment result of expulsion from school, but did not specify the reason for expulsion.

This thing didn't seem to have much effect, Xu Muzhou just took a look at it and put it away.

Xu Muzhou probably had some guesses about Sun Qian's experience, but as I said before, "obsession" itself is a very subjective thing, it is impossible for him to grab all the clues and run to Sun Qian with the same questions. , so we can only rely on searching and guessing.

Distraught, he returned to Sun Qian's seat, and Sun Qian's originally simple seat was now covered with the drafts of documents he had rummaged through, and even a few class schedules.

Time passed by, Xu Muzhou only felt a stopwatch ticking next to his head, it seemed that from just now, the footsteps outside disappeared, Xu Muzhou dared not and could not think about the situation outside, He could only grit his teeth and slap himself, using the pain to force himself to concentrate.

Sun Qian's matter will eventually come back to herself, Xu Muzhou closed his eyes, ready to look at that photo again.That photo was put on the table by him before, but now it should be pressed at the bottom.When Xu Muzhou rummaged through it, he moved too much. A newspaper that had been placed on the corner of the table slid down and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Xu Muzhou subconsciously went to pick it up. Just as he bent down, he suddenly found that there was a very narrow corner of the newspaper facing up on the back, and a police report was printed on it.

It was a homicide case of a juvenile. The name of the criminal was hidden from the above, and it was only said that a young child was killed unintentionally.

Xu Muzhou bounced off the desk and chair in an instant, he hastily flipped through the newspaper to the front, and suddenly found that the date of this newspaper was the same as the notice of withdrawal from school that he had just discovered.

A cold chill climbed up his spine, Xu Muzhou's entire back was drenched in cold sweat, and his hairs stood on end.

Xu Muzhou suddenly remembered that when Sun Qian was in distress in the tea room for the first time, Sun Qian broke through the door of the tea room, but first bypassed the father and daughter of the Lin family who were closest to the door, and didn't even look at Yan Cen and himself , but focused on attacking the boy in school uniform first.

He had always thought that it was because the boy in school uniform entered the Academic Affairs Office, and this particularity would make Sun Qian give priority to attacking players who touched the core of the mission.But later he obviously entered the Academic Affairs Office himself, and even after staying there for so long, when Yan Cen lured Sun Qian away, he still did not receive another special attack.

If the "young boy" who was killed in the police report in his hand was indeed Sun Xixi, then there might be another explanation for Sun Qian's priority in attacking boys in school uniforms.

——The school uniform on his body made Sun Qian mistook him for someone else.

Xu Muzhou put down the newspaper in his hand, collected himself and stood up.There is no time to waste him now, even if he guessed wrong, he has to go out to give Yan Cen time to breathe.

Whether it is the truth or not, this is already the best guess he can make.

Xu Muzhou hastily gathered the useful things on the table, put the photo of the child in his pocket, picked up the flashlight, rushed out and opened the door.

Yan Cen was confronting Sun Qian at the other end of the corridor. Xu Muzhou was too far away to see his expression clearly, and could only see large black shadows. Xu Muzhou gritted his teeth and walked towards the corridor ran across.

Xu Muzhou just ran two steps, opened his mouth, and before he called out Brother Yan, he felt something coming from behind through the wind, and instantly hit him on the spine.

boom--

Time seemed to be compressed for a moment, his hearing was later than his body when he heard the subsequent gunshot, something melted into his body along his spine, Xu Muzhou immediately felt every blood vessel and meridian in his body They were all entangled and tightened by extremely sharp thin threads, and they lost control of their whole body in an instant, and they were so numb that they couldn't lift their hands.

The next second, he heard the sound of messy footsteps coming from his ears, his hands were roughly cut behind his back, and someone rubbed back and forth on his body, shaking all the things he carried on his body to the ground .

The rusty dagger was also in the row, it fell to the ground with a ding, and fell right in front of Xu Muzhou.

"Xu Muzhou—"

Yan Cen noticed what was going on there when Xu Muzhou was just shot, but as soon as he made a gesture to get up, Sun Qian struggled even harder, and it seemed that he was about to escape from his control.Letting Sun Qian attack indiscriminately in the corridor now is obviously a greater threat to Xu Muzhou than the players.Yan Cen had no choice but to force Sun Qian to the ground again.

"Du..." Xu Muzhou's tongue was so numb that he couldn't move. He heard Yan Cen calling him, but he couldn't respond.He tried hard to raise his head, and said vaguely, "Du Qingqing..."

"I'm sorry." Du Qingqing stood beside him, tilting her head to avoid his gaze: "It's normal for people to have different goals for themselves."

"Little brother." The middle-aged man clasped his arm, then opened his hand, weighed the flashlight he was holding in his hand, and said sarcastically, "Feng Shui turns around."

Xu Muzhou was kneeling on the ground with his back pressed down by him, his head hung down in embarrassment, his bangs drooped down, covering most of his eyebrows and eyes.

Du Qingqing frowned, and said in disgust, "Don't say such useless things."

The middle-aged man didn't want to argue with her about this lust, so for Lin Xiang's sake, he snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Du Qingqing still cared about Xu Muzhou's kindness in saving her life, and she didn't want to take advantage of it, so she slapped him with words obediently.

"Sorry." Du Qingqing said.

"...Listen to me." Xu Muzhou's voice was very low, appearing extremely weak because of the blocked voice: "I'm about to find out the truth, you can wait a little longer. At least, I won't take the lives of my teammates Go and exchange your points."

The middle-aged man was stabbed in the sore foot by him, and he didn't want to blatantly tell him to shut up, so he could only secretly squeeze Xu Muzhou's wrist tightly behind him.

Xu Muzhou frowned in pain as the bones moved up, he panted, cold sweat was already streaming down his cheeks.

"You helped me before, so I really feel guilty for doing this kind of thing." Du Qingqing looked at Xu Muzhou: "Although it's useless to explain in this kind of situation, you also know that we players are in the game. There is no second chance, death is death, and I cannot give my life to others."

Xu Muzhou laughed lowly, he seemed to have expected this kind of answer a long time ago, and he didn't seem disappointed.

The middle-aged man was still afraid of him, and shouted sharply: "What are you laughing at!"

Xu Muzhou ignored him, he suddenly struggled with all his strength, made his upper body stand upright, and shouted at the other end of the corridor with all his strength.

"teacher--!"

Sun Qian, who was still within the controllable range, suddenly struggled like crazy. Yan Cen couldn't control it for a while, and let her break free.Sun Qian howled crazily, turned around and rushed towards Xu Muzhou, looking at her, she seemed to want to tear Xu Muzhou to pieces immediately.

Sun Qian's speed was even faster than before, Yan Cen jumped off the ground almost at the same time as her, but it was still a step late - Sun Qian had already rushed in front of several people.

Du Qingqing and the middle-aged man obviously didn't expect Xu Muzhou to be so desperate, and they were shocked for a moment.Before Sun Qian approached, Du Qingqing subconsciously took two steps back.

Xu Muzhou just wanted Yan Cen to get away, and he didn't intend to seek death. As early as when he yelled that sound, he slammed into the back immediately, and said to the middle-aged man in a hasty tone: "The flashlight's Light can restrain—”

Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man understood what he meant and directly turned on the flashlight in his hand.

The dim yellow light shone again in the dark corridor, Sun Qian screamed, and subconsciously raised her hand to cover her face.

The middle-aged man reacted very quickly. Seeing that Sun Qian had lost her attacking power for a moment, he threw the flashlight in his hand on the ground, leaned forward and touched the dagger in front of Xu Muzhou, and jumped out with the dagger straight Stabbed at Sun Qian's exposed side neck.

Xu Muzhou didn't expect that the unattractive man could react so quickly, he gritted his teeth to stabilize his numb body, leaned forward as hard as he could, and cried out in panic.

"Don't kill her—!"
