Chapter 47: Fourth Floor
The corridor on the right side of the third floor is not too long, but it is completely shrouded in darkness, so when you are in the lobby on the third floor, you can't see the end clearly. In addition, the man wearing sharp horns whom Yue Ran saw before The tall humanoid monster in the hat was not here either, so it only took Zhang Yuan and Yue Ran two or three minutes to find the stairs leading to the fourth floor from the corridor on the right.
The safety passage sign that exudes a faint green light is hung crookedly on the wall. Several exposed wires protrude from the gaps in the sign. On the other side of the sign is the staircase leading to the fourth floor. .
The incandescent lamp on the stairs, for some unknown reason, did not emit the dim light it should have. Only through the moonlight projected from the window next to it, one could vaguely see the terrace leading from the third floor to the fourth floor. Someone should have piled a pile of broken gravel there.
The gray-white gravel was piled high. Under the dark shadow, Yue Ran always felt that there would be a person or something not human coming out of there.
"Go upstairs first, the party on the fifth floor should start soon," Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment, and then added, "Let's talk about my matters while walking."
Yue Ran nodded slightly, and then followed Zhang Yuan towards the fourth floor.
Then Zhang Yuan calmed down for a moment, and then spoke again: "I can only tell you two points. First, I am also an outsider. Second, my mission is to ensure your safety."
Zhang Yuan blinked his little eyes. He didn't say much about his mission. At least he had reservations about the second item.
"At least you're safe until that hidden mission is solved."
Although Zhang Yuan's body was split from himself by Li Muran, he was not a fool. Ever since the system prompted him that there was a hidden mission that had not been unlocked, he felt that this matter was not simple, until he met someone who had substituted Yu. Yue Ran, whose identity is Ning, got the second side mission information, especially the note - "Please confirm the true identity of the organizer, this is closely related to the mission you have not unlocked."
"Combined with the previous hidden mission, that is to say, the relationship between me and Yu Ning will become uncertain after the hidden mission is solved."
Yue Ran was not surprised by Zhang Yuan's words. After all, during the day, Yue Ran had doubts that Zhang Yuan might be an outsider. But now that he said it from the other party's mouth, this matter was no longer the same. Even if it has completely become a reality.
"Guarantee my safety?" Yue Ran silently muttered this sentence in his heart, "Did the system arrange a bodyguard for me?"
Yue Ran subconsciously touched his earlobe, then an imperceptible smile appeared on his lips, and then he said silently in his heart: "Thank you, Sister System, for sending me the bodyguard."
"Bao—ahem, that Zhang Yuan, how do you know that I am also an outsider?"
Yue Ran almost said what was on his mind.
"The system told me." Zhang Yuan walked in front and said without any tone.
Yue Ran narrowed his eyes slightly and complained in his heart: "This is really cheating. The system can actually provide other people's information. Why didn't the system lady tell me about this function?"
Just when Yue Ran was shouting about unfairness in his heart, that familiar sweet voice rang in Yue Ran's ears.
"First, his function can only be used by outsiders, and there will be penalties for guessing wrong. Second, my system is different from his. I am intelligent, and his is just a Machines issuing tasks without emotion.”
At this point, the female voice in the system stopped and did not continue speaking, while Yue Ran showed a very strange expression.
"Why do I hear pride in her tone? Well - her voice is nice, but her temperament has not gone out of the rebellious stage."
Recalling the sound of the system just now, Yue Ran gave the most pertinent evaluation.
"My system is intelligent...that is to say, the systems carried by me and Zhang Yuan are different, well -" Yue Ran thought of a more appropriate example, "Zhang Yuan's system It’s just a robot that can execute commands, and my system is artificial intelligence, which sounds quite advanced.”
While thinking, Yue Ran and Zhang Yuan had already reached the gentle platform from the third floor to the fourth floor. Because the incandescent lamp here was broken, Zhang Yuan once again held his miniature flashlight in his hand.
The dazzling white light and the dim moonlight overlapped and blended on the pile of gray-white gravel on the platform.
"It's just a pile of broken stones." Zhang Yuan took a quick look and found nothing unusual. The gray-white stones were exactly the same as what he had seen on the playground of this southern Jiangsu university.
"Why do you need to carry a flashlight if you can make flames?"
Yue Ran imitated Zhang Yuan's behavior just now and raised his hand to make a gesture.
The thing that bothers Yue Ran the most is that Zhang Yuan, who is also an outsider, has the ability to create flames, while he has nothing except his left eye, which can make his eyesight better.
The corners of Zhang Yuan's eyes twitched, and then he glanced at Yue Ran. He actually saw the same look in Yue Ran's eyes as when he saw himself creating flames. That look was exactly the same as a child's look when he longed for his beloved toy. .
"There are only a few spirits left that I brought in from outside, and the spirits here at Sunan University cannot be recovered at all, so I will try my best not to use them."
"What is spirit?" At this time, Yue Ran was like an ignorant child.
Zhang Yuan did not answer Yue Ran's question, nor did he stay longer at the slow platform from the third floor to the fourth floor. His goal was to go to the fifth floor, so when Yue Ran asked the question "What is spirit?" At the same time, he was already walking towards the fourth floor with a miniature flashlight.
Seeing that Zhang Yuan had no intention of answering his question, Yue Ran stopped asking again, but the question was quietly buried in his heart.
Without too much entanglement, Yue Ran was ready to follow Zhang Yuan. At this time, Zhang Yuan had already stepped up the last step to the fourth floor.
Although the incandescent lamp on the fourth floor was not broken, it was still dim.
Because they came up from the stairs at the end of the right corridor on the third floor, the location on the fourth floor where they were at this time was also the right corridor.
There is a closed glass door facing the stairs. A rusty U-shaped lock is on the door handle. A metal door number hangs above the glass door with the word "Office" written on it. , and there is also a door with a metal door plate on the side next to the stairs, and the four words "Dean" are written on the door plate.
