This NPC really has a problem

Bai Zhu stopped on the steps for a long time.

He didn't step onto the last step until the sound of a human body falling to the ground sounded.There was the whistling wind in my ears, making all other sounds unclear, including my own voice.

It seemed that it was no longer his own brain that was driving the vocal cords, and it took a while for Bai Zhu to realize that he seemed to have called Lu Ren's name just now.

Lu Ren responded in a low voice: "...I'm fine."

His voice seemed to be blown away by the wind, leaving no trace.

Lu Ren was already standing very close to the edge of the rooftop, but he still kept a certain distance, and he was unwilling to get closer. He only needed to step forward to see clearly the downstairs and the corpse illuminated by the flashlight.

A woman's cry of collapse could be faintly heard downstairs, but Lu Ren felt his eyes were dry, and the moisture in his eyes seemed to be blown dry by the wind.

Bai Zhu took a few steps forward and hugged Lu Ren from behind. He hugged Lu Ren's waist with one hand and covered Lu Ren's eyes with the other. He didn't say anything else.

Lu Ren murmured to himself, "I can't do anything..."

He couldn't save Zeng Ge, he couldn't help Zeng Ge, there was no reason to stop him from taking revenge, and there was no way to stop him from taking that leap.

Zeng Ge had separated himself from Lu Ren from the very beginning. At this time, they acted separately when they entered Chaoyang Middle School. No one knew about their past friendship, and Zeng Ge did not let Lu Ren participate in his plan at all.

They are just because the two new employees who have a little friendship with each other are two independent individuals who have almost no contact in Chaoyang Middle School.

There's just...nothing he can do.

Everything about Zeng Ge has nothing to do with him.

The din downstairs had nothing to do with him.

Lu Ren didn't understand why he was here. The commission he accepted and the investigations he had done before seemed like a joke when he thought about it.Qin Lian concealed the truth from him, Zeng Ge concealed the past from him, what did he do before?What can he do afterwards?

Lu Ren had no answer.

It seemed that the world he was in had nothing to do with him, and he was rejected by this world.

Bai Zhu gently kissed Lu Ren's earlobe, which had nothing to do with lust, but just comfort.Looking at Lu Ren who was in a daze, he felt extremely distressed.

Zeng Ge is Lu Ren's best friend outside the game, and also in the game.

He just fell from the rooftop right in front of Lu Ren's eyes.

Bai Zhu said softly: "Let's go back."

Lu Ren asked: "...Where are you going?"

Bai Zhu replied: "No matter where it is, it is always where I am."

……

Lu Ren, who was temporarily appeased, followed Bai Zhu back to the duty room. No one noticed them. Everyone gathered around the two silent corpses on the ground. The white light of the flashlight shone on them coldly, and the woman's crying gradually Dumb, only a slight sob remained at the end.Someone was whispering, talking about how to deal with this matter well, how not to attract the attention of the leaders, so many things happened, still these indifferent words.

People can't help but wonder, how can people in this world be so ruthless?

Lu Ren let Bai Zhu pull him, without even looking at the pool of blood spreading not far away, he walked towards the duty room in silence.

The duty room was empty.

The students haven't come back yet, Xu Yan and Chen Jin have already left.The last person to leave forgot to turn off the lights, the paper cups on the table were not cleared away, and there were even unfinished muffins.

"Are you hungry?" Bai Zhu asked, "You can still eat the muffins once they're warm."

Lu Ren nodded silently. While he felt as if something was blocked in his throat, and it was difficult to swallow even water, he felt that it would be good to eat something, at least to divert his attention.

Bai Zhui went to warm the muffins, Lu Ren bent down to find out the key to the drawer that he had hidden.

The key to the drawer was very small. Lu Ren was afraid that he would accidentally drop it while he was carrying it, so he hid it in the crack of the desk in the duty room.It was not only Lu Ren who knew that the key was hidden here, but also Zeng Ge.

Lu Ren always kept things secret from him.

Thinking of this, Lu Ren also felt some resentment. He understood that Zeng Ge's keeping him from knowing these things was actually for his own sake and for his own good.But the resentment surged and couldn't be suppressed no matter what, the sourness swelled in the heart, making people feel so sad that they almost shed tears.

Lu Ren took out the key. He actually didn't remember how he put the key in. It was probably due to psychological factors. He always felt that the key had been touched.

His hands were shaking when he opened the lock, and the key couldn't be aligned with the keyhole.Lu Ren finally forced himself to stop, took a few deep breaths, calmed down a bit before inserting the key.

When I opened the drawer, I saw the cover of some ugly vulgar magazines. The printing was simple and the cover was a little hard to see.Every time Lu Ren saw them before, his eyes were almost glued to the floor, he didn't look at the things in the drawer, and just used his touch to find out the notes he had hidden inside.

This was probably the first time Lu Ren saw what these magazines looked like.

Complicated emotions completely overwhelmed his shyness. He took out the stack of magazines, flipped through them one by one, and found the envelope hidden inside without much effort.

There were four words written on the plain envelope: From Lu Ren.

The envelope didn't have a seal, so the letter paper folded in two could be easily poured out.When I spread it out, I found that there were only two thin sheets, and the handwriting on them was a little messy, which seemed to be written in a hurry.

Lu Ren even recognized that the thickness and thickness of the pen was similar to the fountain pen in the duty room.

Lu Ren looked down and saw Zeng Ge's familiar handwriting at the beginning of the envelope, and subconsciously looked away, not daring to look at the contents inside.He looked up at Bai Zhu, who was sitting in front of the oven with his back turned to him, very considerately not looking at what happened on his side, nor asking.

Lu Ren suddenly calmed down. "! Mountain! And! 氵! タ!"

He lowered his head again to see what was said in the letter Zeng Ge left him.

***

To Lu Ren:

First of all, I would like to apologize to you. I know that Lu Renren has always been thin-skinned, so he must not dare to read these magazines in private.After thinking about it, I hid this letter here. If you find it, it should be the location of the letter I told you. I hope to have the opportunity to tell you personally.

Of course, it’s okay that you don’t know about it all the time, it would be great if you can forget about the bastard things I did, you still have a long life, and a life that has nothing to do with me may be better.

You must be angry seeing this... I hardly ever see you angry, and I don't know if you will forgive people who make people angry.

Ah... I seem to have said too much nonsense, time is running out, it's time for me to get down to business.Now that you've seen what I've written, all assumptions don't matter.

Let me start by talking about what you care about the most, what things I do and what things I don't.

I was the one who pushed Qin Lian down the hill. I don’t know if you still remember that I told you that I would go out and investigate before deciding whether to accept Qin Lian’s commission?In fact, I didn't investigate the matter of the decoration team, but went to Qin Lian's hometown. I followed him all day, put on a red overcoat, and pushed him away when no one was around and he wasn't paying attention. down the hill.He didn't have time to look back to see who did it, he only saw the hem of the red dress, and thought it was his sister who pushed him.

There was actually an accident at that time, I was worried that Qin Lian would not fall to his death this time, and I planned to climb down the hillside to confirm whether he was dead or alive, and if he didn't die, I would make up for it again.But the terrain on the hillside of Qin Lian's hometown is a bit complicated. When I finally found the place where he fell, Qin Lian had already stood up and left.

I have no choice but to leave first.

I didn't expect that Qin Lian would have a high fever after returning because of a guilty conscience, and the doctor said that he would burn out his brain, so my plan could continue.

When I wrote this letter, I had already killed Cheng Qi and Han Jin. The one in front was my sister’s teaching director back then, who helped Chaoyang Middle School suppress the news of her death and fabricate the cause of her death.And that old police officer, Han Jin, was the policeman who was sent to investigate this matter.

Oh, and Liang Yong, he is the principal.

They are all my enemies.

I used to want to kill them so much that I wanted to eat their flesh and drink their blood, but the reality made me succumb. I broke with my parents, and my will was worn away by the ordinary days after day.I originally thought that this life would pass like this, and I even avoided remembering my sister. It wasn't until Qin Lian knocked on the door of the office and explained the origin, that I realized that the hatred had not disappeared.

All it takes is a spark to ignite.

You should see something wrong with me.We are too familiar with each other. In fact, if I hadn't made countless preparations, I might not be able to hide the strangeness from your eyes. During this time, I told you that I am very busy every day. There are indeed some, but not As for not having time at all.I'm trying my best to avoid meeting you, afraid that these things will be discovered by you.

This is something that has nothing to do with you, and I don't want to embarrass you.

You saw my sister, she is in a very strange state now, she is sober and confused for a while, I will save the reason for later, continue to talk about what I did, and what happened in the past.

I'm running out of time, and as far as I'm concerned, I'm going to make a closure tonight.

You once saw a figure on the third floor. That person was actually me. I went to find my sister, but I found nothing during the day.I went again in the evening, and learned something from my sister, which strengthened my resolve for revenge.

Let me tell you the full story of the past incident here.

My elder sister is introverted and not good at communicating with others. When she was studying, she was often ignored by the people in her class. In fact, it doesn’t matter. My elder sister likes to be alone, and she doesn’t feel lonely by herself.

But she didn't realize that she would attract the envy of others.

It was okay earlier, the girls were jealous of her grades, and felt that she was pretending to be noble by keeping quiet on weekdays, so they isolated her one after another, but her sister was not affected, and it was Zheng Pei who made everything turn around.

Zheng Pei is a senior in my sister's grade. In the liberal arts class where my sister is mostly girls, there are many girls who like it, including the "leader" among the girls who take the lead in encouraging my sister.My sister and Zheng Pei didn't know each other well at all, but because the teacher asked them to form a study group when they were divided into groups, rumors spread in the class.

This rumor was deliberately spread by the second-ranked girl in the class. She hated that her sister would always dominate her.The girl knew Zheng Pei's true nature, and as she expected, Zheng Pei really had a laissez-faire attitude towards these rumors.

Even out of some kind of vanity, he would tell others that his sister liked him so much that it really bothered him.

The rumors got more and more exaggerated.

In their mouths, the elder sister became a shameless woman pestering men, and the leader was even more angry, seeing her as a thorn in the flesh, and what they did to her changed from isolation to bullying.During that time, my sister was in a bad state. When I came home from the weekend, I found that she had lost a lot of weight. My sister didn’t want me to worry. When I asked why, she only said that it was because of the pressure of studying in the third year of high school.

It wasn't until after she died that I saw the diary she wrote in pain, which restored her experience during this period.

On the day my sister died, she was blocked in the bathroom by the leader and a few girls who slept with her and insulted her. When those people left, they locked the door of the bathroom, thus locking her sister with a pervert.

The other compartments are all squatting pits, and only the student in the innermost compartment who has limited mobility is sitting.My sister was too tired from standing and wanted to sit and take a rest, but when she opened the door, she saw the pervert hiding inside.

The pervert wanted to cheat on her sister, and her sister kept calling for help, but no one came to save her.Finally, she was forced to the window. She stood on the window and threatened the pervert to jump if she came again, but the pervert pushed her down without hesitation.

My sister saw his face, and he couldn't let her live.

My sister was killed by these people.

Even after her death, her sister could not live in peace. She was forcibly said to have committed suicide because of emotional problems, and even became a negative textbook for teaching puppy love students.The student who bullied her was not punished, Zheng Pei didn't have to pay for what he said, and even the murderer who pushed her sister down the stairs got away with it.

After a symbolic investigation, the school and the police station completely suppressed the incident, bought off the newspaper, and asked the newspaper not to report the incident, as if it had never happened.

I found the evidence but was expelled from the school, and the evidence I found was destroyed by the school itself not long after.

I took revenge on Qin Lian because he allowed those girls to take the keys to the bathroom, and he didn't stop those girls from doing harm when my sister asked for help.He secretly told me the truth about the past, but he didn't realize that I was Han Liu's younger brother.

I think this is what he deserves.

The elder sister originally wanted to take revenge on him personally, but he escaped.Yes, the matter of the decoration team was indeed done by my sister.

She wandered around in the men's dormitory for a long time, in a daze without a clear consciousness, until she saw her enemy.

The first person she killed was a silly girl who strayed into the men's bedroom. Because of her appearance, her sister regarded her as her enemy.My sister didn't tell me how she killed them, in short, those who disappeared are dead, completely disappeared from the world.

After that girl, my sister has been constantly looking for her enemies.She could only move around in the men's dormitory, but she didn't expect the decoration team to come.

The missing people in the decoration team were all related to the person who hurt my sister, or they were themselves.

When other people are present, my sister will wake up briefly, and then give up doing it, so those people disappear when they are alone.And my sister only came out at night, so those people disappeared at night.

Most of the people involved in that incident have been retaliated against, except for one person whose name has never appeared.

That is the pervert who pushed my sister down the stairs, and the murderer who killed her directly.

No one knows who he is in various rumors, but I have probably determined who he is.

Remember that first silly girl I talked about getting killed by her sister?She has no contact with anyone who can confirm the information. After my investigation, I found that her mother and her father divorced shortly after the sister's accident.It is said that her mother got divorced because she couldn't bear her husband's abuse of her stupid daughter, but I found out that the abuse had lasted for a long time, and there must be some reason for the sudden divorce.

That opportunity was my sister.

The teaching staff can easily enter Chaoyang Middle School. I learned that the man has no serious job and has been idle all year round. He likes to visit places like pornographic bars. It is entirely possible for him to sneak into the women's dormitory.

I think I probably won't have the chance to take revenge on him... Lu Ren, I want to ask you something.

I beg you to continue the investigation, and if he is indeed the murderer, please make it public.

As long as it is made public, I don't expect more.

***

This is the end of the first letter paper.

Lu Ren calmed down for a long time before turning to the second page.

***

I have a second request, concerning my sister.

You should have also discovered that some of the people my sister took revenge on were actually innocent people.It wasn't because she was dazzled by hatred and attacked innocent people who were close to the murderer, but because she couldn't control herself at that time, and even her consciousness was confused, and she regarded all people related to the murderer as The person who killed himself in the first place.

She was possessed by something.

It was a key, and my sister grabbed a key while pushing and shoving that pervert, and fell downstairs with that key.Somehow that key remained with her ghost after her death, and under its influence the sister always fell into a state of insanity.

My sister was able to stay awake for a long time when she was with me, but she was almost controlled by the key in the end.

My sister almost killed me.

Every time she kills, it is when she is controlled by a key.When strangers appeared around her, she regained her senses briefly and stopped in time, but now she has more and more difficulty controlling herself.

She told me she felt she was going to attack someone who had absolutely nothing to do with the killer.

That key is now in my sister's heart, and my sister begged me to take that key away before she lost her sanity completely.But when she said this, she quickly fell into a state of madness, attacking everything around her while shouting that she couldn't take it away.

When she found out that I was injured, she managed to control herself, but it was painful.

I beg you to find a way to take that key away.

If there is no way to do it... Lu Ren, get out of here quickly, I can't imagine what Chaoyang Middle School will be like after my sister completely loses control.

That's all I have to say.

Lu Ren, I am very glad that I was able to meet you.When I rented with you, I just broke up with my parents. It was a time when I was in a daze. I didn’t know what to do or where to go. It was friendship that made me feel that I was still alive and that I was still alive in this world. Significant.You take care of me on weekdays, but I have nothing to repay you, even leaving such a big trouble.

I did something to make you sad, sorry.

Zeng Ge's last pen

***

Lu Ren put down the letter paper and covered his eyes with one hand, but he couldn't stop the tears from streaming down.

He felt that he was too selfish. Even if Zeng Ge did those things, he still wanted Zeng Ge to live a good life, accepting commissions with him everywhere as before, and living a tight life in a small office.

But when he said no, he disappeared.

...You fucking know I'm going to be sad.

Lu Ren came back to his senses again, only to find that the letter had been crumpled by him, and tears were streaming down his face.

Bai Zhu didn't know when he came to his side, sat down next to him, felt the body temperature from another person, as if he could barely hold on.

Lu Ren choked up and said, "If it's all fake, it's just a dream..."

When he woke up, he found that there was no commission at all, and he just dozed off on the office desk.

Bai Zhu said softly: "...Maybe it's really fake?"

Everything is fake, just a dream of a virtual world.

But Lu Ren looked at him with red eyes: "Then you are fake too?"

Bai Zhu hurriedly grabbed his hand: "Of course I am real!"

After hugging Lu Ren and patting him on the back to comfort him for a long time, Lu Ren stopped crying.Lu Ren handed the crumpled letter paper to Bai Zhu. At first, Bai Zhu thought that Lu Ren wanted him to throw out the trash, so he almost threw it directly into the trash can.

Only when Lu Ren hurriedly stopped Bai Zhu realized that Lu Ren wanted him to read the contents of the letter.

So Lu Ren sat eating muffins while Bai Zhu read Zeng Ge's letter.The letter paper had been flattened out, but Bai Zhu's gaze fell into the drawer uncontrollably.

A large piece of flesh-colored mosaic... what the hell?

Lu Ren... Would Lu Ren watch this kind of thing?All of them seem to be women...

Lu Ren raised his foot and kicked the drawer back, and said in a nasal voice that was thick because he had just cried: "It's not mine, it's left by the previous housekeeper."

Bai Yi said solemnly, as if he didn't think about it at all, and lowered his head to read the letter seriously.

After Lu Ren finished eating two muffins, he also finished reading the letter.

Bai Zhu had no idea about the new content, he only cared about Lu Ren's thoughts, turned his head and asked, "What are your plans?"

Lu Ren was silent for a while, and said, "Stay here and find out if that person is the murderer of Han Liu. Get the key from Han Liu and help her escape."

Bai Zhu nodded: "I understand."

Lu Ren hesitated and said, "It might be very dangerous..."

Bai Zhu didn't care about the danger: "Anyway, you don't want to get rid of me this time."

"...This time?" Lu Ren was a little puzzled, he asked cautiously, "Have I ever left you before?"

Bai Zhu rubbed the top of his head resentfully: "You just like to carry everything by yourself. If there is something dangerous this time, you are not allowed to move any more. Let me do it!"

Lu Ren was very sorry and told the truth: "But I think I'm more reliable than you..."

Bai Zhu: "..."

what does it feel likeThis is the feeling of being pricked by a boyfriend.

By the way, boyfriend...

Only then did Bai Zhu realize that Lu Ren owed him a definite answer tonight.

It's just that something like this happened tonight, Bai Zhu really couldn't bear to persecute Lu Ren.He could only blame Zeng Ge for adding drama to himself in the game because he was full, but Lu Ren didn't know that this was actually the plot of the game, and his best friend was actually alive and kicking in reality.Lu Ren must be very sad now, Bai Zhu only thought about how to coax him and comfort him, and had no mind to worry about other things at all.

Bai Zhu didn't mention it until he fell asleep.

Lu Ren didn't want to sleep at first, but what happened tonight made it impossible for him to sleep at all. He wanted to stay up all night to investigate whether the murderer was the one Zeng Ge suspected.But Bai Zhu forcibly dragged him to the bathroom, and after washing him with his hands, he stuffed him into the quilt again.

Bai Zhu said with a straight face: "Go to bed early, have a good rest, and don't think about anything."

He was still a little imposing at first, but his heart softened when he saw Lu Ren's red eyes that hadn't faded.

Bai Zhu put his hand under the quilt, held Lu Ren's hand and shook it: "I feel so distressed seeing you not sleeping well."

Lu Ren shrank his head into the quilt, and whispered: "I see..."

Bai Zhu patted the quilt wrapped around Lu Ren, got up to wash up, but was stopped by Lu Ren: "Wait."

Bai Zhu squatted back to the bed again: "What's wrong?"

There was obvious hesitation on Lu Ren's face, and after a while, he approached Bai Zhu.

Bai Zhu saw that Lu Ren was very close to him for a moment, his eyes widened, and he looked a little stupid and dared not move.

Lu Ren kissed him on the forehead.

He originally wanted to find a more intimate place, but he was really embarrassed, and finally chose the forehead.

Lu Ren quickly got under the quilt, only a few strands of black hair fell out.

His voice came from under the quilt, sounding muffled: "...This is, the answer I promised to give tonight."
