Survival game: my plug-ins can stack up

When Zhao Xun was about to reach the second floor, he heard a slight door opening coming from the direction of the third floor.

He immediately straightened up and ran towards the third floor in three steps and two steps at a time.

He took each step long and hard, but tried not to make a sound.

When he ran to the third floor, he only saw that every door was closed, and he couldn't tell which room the short-haired woman had entered.

If the short-haired woman's main mission is to destroy the evidence in the safe, it would be bad if she takes the lead.

Zhao Xun quickly found the location of the study and was about to open the door when he suddenly heard the Duke's loud cry for help coming from another room a few doors away.

Zhao Xun's movements paused.

That should be the Duke's bedroom.

It seems that the short-haired woman did not enter the study, but entered the Duke's bedroom.

Her main mission is probably to kill the Duke, and there is no conflict with his mission.

The sound of rapid footsteps could be heard downstairs. It must be that the guards patrolling nearby heard the movement and were hurrying upstairs.

Zhao Xun turned the door handle calmly.

The Duke's life was in danger, and most of the guards would definitely go to the bedroom, but it gave him a good opportunity to look for evidence in the study at ease.

Zhao Xun gently pushed open the study door.

The study was brightly lit.

Zhao Xun was stunned, and his hand that had just opened a crack in the door stopped immediately.

He carefully looked through the crack in the door, and then was stunned again.

I saw a person standing on the bookshelf opposite, with his back to Zhao Xun, turning the pages of the book in his hand quickly.

A page of the book was quickly turned over. The man put the book back to its original position with one hand, took another book with the other hand, and continued to turn the pages.

Zhao Xun looked at the man's back. The surprised expression on his face had faded, replaced by a look of understanding.

He ducked into the study and gently closed the study door before the guards arrived upstairs.

The people in the study heard the noise and immediately turned around.

There was no nervousness at all on that young face, only vigilance, preparedness and an instant killing intent.

The moment she saw Zhao Xun, the young girl was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "It seems that I have exposed my secret."

In just a few seconds, her expression was completely different from the one she showed before in front of everyone. If it were anyone else, she might be able to make up a lie to get rid of it, but Zhao Xun couldn't.

Even if it was just two simple meetings, she and Zhao Xun didn't even communicate verbally, and she knew very well that Zhao Xun was not someone to be fooled.

No matter what excuse she makes now, she may not be able to deceive Zhao Xun.

"This is the real you." Zhao Xun said bluntly, "So, you are actually an old player, deliberately pretending to be a new player in front of other players."

At this moment, he suddenly understood why there was such a thick white fog when he got off the car.

That is not to make it more difficult for players to find the specific location of the platform game, but to prevent players from being sure which car everyone else got off from.

The system will not prompt everyone participating in the game whether they are new players or old players. Although most old players are calmer than new players, the difference can be seen at a glance.

But some people with excellent acting skills can easily deceive people by pretending to be new.

For example, the person in front of me.

"That's right." The girl admitted frankly. After saying that, she turned back and continued to search for books at the same pace. "I think it's interesting to pretend to be a newcomer. You can see a lot of interesting faces."

She didn't seem to worry at all that she would be attacked by Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun did not approach easily.

Since the girl is an old player, she won't really be defenseless against him. She will most likely have the means to protect herself and fight back.

What's more, judging from the girl's behavior, she seemed to be looking for something in the study, which would most likely not conflict with his mission.

Then there is no need for him to attack the girl.

Zhao Xun looked at all the paintings in the study and asked the girl: "Then you show weakness in front of the NPC for fun?"

All the paintings in the study are pictures of beauties taking a bath.

He finally understood why Ruby was describing the details of the painting.

The girl looked back at Zhao Xun and showed a sweet smile: "That's not entirely for fun. That kind of old pervert, showing weakness will give him a sense of accomplishment and make it easier for me to find out his secrets."

Zhao Xun laughed: "In this kind of life-and-death game, you still have the leisure to have fun."

This also makes sense why this girl didn't refuse the Duke's touch at all before.

She wasn't really scared.

She did it to achieve her own goals and for fun.

The girl suddenly stopped what she was doing. She slowly walked down the ladder, keeping her gaze fixed on Zhao Xun: "Don't you have one?"

Zhao Xun said nothing.

The girl's smile became even sweeter: "Well, it's true that you don't show it very obviously now. After all, new players always have to be restrained. But I can feel that you and I are the same kind of people."

Zhao Xun smiled, did not respond to the question, and asked instead: "You don't seem to be guarding against me at all, and you have no intention of attacking me. It's impossible not to attack just because you think you and I are the same kind of people, right? "

"That's not true." The girl shrugged, "I have a tool that allows me to determine whether other players who enter the game with me are hostile to me."

She tilted her head and smiled brightly: "You are green and you are safe."

The second half of her sentence was so vague that people couldn't tell for a moment whether the sentence "very safe" referred to herself or Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun was naturally not sure whether the girl was telling the truth, but this did not prevent him from asking: "Then what is your main mission?"

"Find the Duke's secret and make it known to the public." The girl answered without hesitation.

One asked straightforwardly, and the other answered candidly.

"What about you?" the girl asked Zhao Xun politely.

"Help the witch prove her innocence." Zhao Xun answered without thinking.

Before he asked the girl about her main mission, he had already thought of his answer.

Speaking of which, there is no stumbling at all.

"It seems that our tasks are complementary to each other." The girl was very happy, "Why don't we work together? The speed can be faster."

Zhao Xun thought for a few seconds and agreed.

The fact that the girl didn't ask him why he came here to look for clues proved that she should already know some of the Duke's secrets.

Although he knew the specific location where the safe was hidden, he was not sure whether the password provided by Ruby could be used.

No, if he guessed correctly, the password has most likely been changed.

There was no way the Duke wouldn't change his password after discovering that Ruby was gathering evidence of his crimes.

Then, the girl who has been staying with the Duke for the past two days becomes the most likely person to know the password.

Even if she didn't know the password, she would have to rely on her to get the password from the Duke later. Zhao Xun was unable to do this.

Therefore, it is indeed beneficial for the two of them to cooperate.
