“How could it be so easy?”

Lu Xiaoyao tried hard to ignore the other party's suggestion, instead, she chuckled lightly as if listening to a joke, but the speed of packing her books in her hand became faster, the insincere appearance made Mona couldn't help but curl her lips.

She understood that the more she evaded, the more it showed that what she had just said had been remembered by the other party.

Seeing Lu Xiaoyao's state through the live broadcast and the smile on Mona's face, Mingmei couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.

She felt that Lu Xiaoyao was in a bit of danger this time.

Could Lu Xiaoyao really make it through?

"What's wrong?"

Yuan Fang looked at Mingmei sighing while heating up a hot dog in the kitchen, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Ah, it's nothing, I just feel a little unreal... in a few days our game should be over, right?"

Mingmei retracted her thoughts and took out the hot dog. There were no customers in the store, so this was considered a staff meal.

"Yes."

Yuan Fang took the hot dog and took a bite, without continuing to speak.

"By the way, where's Bai Xiao? I haven't seen her these days. Has she found a new job?"

Mingmei picked up the other hot dog, took the newspaper, lowered her head and began to read it with relish.

"Ah, I'm not sure."

Mingmei's hand flipping through the newspaper paused, and she looked up at Yuan Fang eating the hot dog. Seeing him lowering his head and eating the hot dog expressionlessly, Mingmei slowed down her chewing speed and then asked, "Have you two been arguing recently?"

"No." Yuan Fang shook his head, looking up at Mingmei, not understanding why Mingmei would ask this.

"Oh, I was just asking." Mingmei guiltily lowered her head again and continued to read the newspaper.

The news in the newspaper was still the same as before, still about caring for the mental health of minors, as well as some social news.

If she didn't read the news every day, Mingmei might not have felt anything, but Mingmei basically read it every day.

Therefore, at this time, she remembered that since Hu Yue went offline, the social news about couples cheating in the newspaper seemed to have disappeared overnight.

Thinking about it, Mingmei's sight landed on the increasing number of reports about unidentified male corpses in the city.

It seemed that every few days, a vicious murder case of a male victim being found, with a miserable death and the lower body being cut off, would make it into the newspaper.

This wasn't just a simple occurrence once or twice; Mingmei stared at the content on the newspaper, slightly lost in thought.

If what the newspaper implied was related to the content in the game... couples cheating implied Hu Yue and Qi Hai Kui, and the news disappeared after the two went offline.

If the events about caring for minors corresponded to Mona's theme message, then what about these?

Serial murder cases, and all of them are men...

"Yo, what wind blew you here today?"

The Enforcer looked at Mingmei's appearance, then looked behind her. Mingmei wasn't followed by her "big tail" Mu Chen.

"No wind, I'm looking for you to help me find out some things." Mingmei went straight to the point, keeping it short, which made the other party only raise his eyebrows.

"Not only do you want to get information from me, but you also want me to do errands and help you investigate the identities of the deceased appearing in the newspaper recently?"

"Otherwise? Do you know if I ask you? Wouldn't you still have to investigate?"

Enforcer: "..."

The Enforcer couldn't answer this, and he agreed with Mingmei that he would tell her the exact news tomorrow night.

On the way back, Mingmei rode her little electric bike past Chengdong Middle School, looking at the open school gate, the security guard in the guard room next to it seemed to be dozing off.

She glanced at the surrounding environment.

No surveillance.

After confirming, Mingmei put on a mask just in case and quietly sneaked in.

[Host, what are you going to do?]

"Help me check the school's archive room, we'll go search the information of the school's former students and teachers, oh, by the way, help me check if this school has an intranet or... related campus forums."

[Alright.]

In the dark, Mingmei always felt that there was still some big secret in this place.

The previous few times, she passed by here and it was always closed, and this time there was such an obvious loophole, she would be sorry for the security guard's lazy sleeping if she didn't come in.

Gui Gui helped Mingmei investigate the terrain map of the school's archive room and helped Mingmei avoid the pedestrians on the road and sneak into the archive room.

In addition to paper materials, there were computers stored in the archive room back then.

"Gui Gui, can you export the data?"

[Host, why do you think I wanted you to come in?]

Mingmei: ??

[Don't worry, I've already hacked the surveillance in the archive room, don't be afraid, just watch carefully.]

As soon as Gui Gui said this, Mingmei went straight to the computer to find the information without saying a word.

"The staff information is quite complete, including those who left many years ago, then Mona's father must also be there." Mingmei glanced at it and began to carefully check after locking the time, and then—

"By the way, what's the name of Mona's father in the game?"

Gui Gui: [...]

The silent Gui Gui made Mingmei's question seem really important.

However, Mingmei didn't know this important point.

[I know the name of her current father.]

Mingmei: "I know this too."

One person and one brain stood in front of the computer in silence, even the air felt awkward.

"Oh, her father is dead, I'll just directly search the list of deceased employees from last year, although the school has many deaths, but can it narrow the target~ male, middle-aged, and died in a fire, in fact the range is not..."

Soon, Mingmei came up with a solution that she thought was very clever, and before she finished saying "big", her hands were faster than her mouth and directly screened out the death list.

As a result—she felt that what she had just said was too simple.

"I'm going~ so many male teachers died last year?"

Mingmei stared at the pictures of the dead male teachers on the screen in astonishment, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"My god... what's going on?"

Mingmei looked at this wave of death list, and the cold air from the tail vertebrae directly forced up to her scalp.

Why are most of the deaths in the entire staff list basically male!

Mingmei's brain, occupied by fright, became more and more calm, and her fingers frantically typed on the keyboard. She searched for some information records of students in the past two years.

Before the fire, there were no less than ten student deaths in the school, and there were also many students who dropped out of school or suspended their studies one after another, regardless of gender. Mingmei clicked on their photos, and everyone was surprisingly good-looking.

"Gui Gui, is there any news on the school's intranet or forum?"

[Retrieving and checking.]

Gui Gui told Mingmei to wait a moment, and then Gui Gui reminded Mingmei that it was time to leave.

Mingmei left the school after listening to Gui Gui's words. On the way back, Gui Gui broadcasted some posts from the school's intranet forum to Mingmei in the background voice.

There were many gossip posts in the posts.

Among them, there were also many complaints and gossip about the school's teachers. Among them, the most popular was a gossip post about a scandal between a female student and a middle-aged male teacher two years ago.

Listening to the name, Mingmei didn't feel unfamiliar, they were all on the death list just now.

After listening, Mingmei's heart became heavier and heavier...
