Soon, the room erupted with people's voices, and we left the courtyard and returned to the hall.
It seemed that everyone was here. Miss Lin was in the crowd. Standing next to her was a middle-aged man with a tall figure and a high-spirited attitude. He was wearing a uniform with a modified design of a Chinese tunic suit and a suit, and a mink fur coat.
This person must be Mr. Lin, the owner of Lin Mansion.
Everyone raised a toast to thank Mr. Lin for the invitation.
But in fact, everyone knows what this party means.
The current situation is turbulent, and the Lin family wants to be the leader.
Although everyone is a patriot at heart, many people are still willing to do such a risky move.
But in this gathering, in addition to those who were neutral, there were also many people with lofty ideals, especially newspaper publishers, factory owners, and college students. They were all very angry. Seeing the generosity of the Lin family, every one of them burst into tears with passion in their eyes.
And I am also one of the university representatives who support the Lin family.
Moreover, I seem to have had a relationship with the Lin family long ago, so the Lin family treated me more than just like an ordinary student.
I think this may be the original setting in the game.
It was almost evening when the party ended, and Mr. Lin had already greeted me and chatted a few words at the party.
At this time, I remembered what Yu Hua said before leaving -
By the way, those guys from Dagang, I saw them two days ago. They were at Cao's house. The Cao family happened to invite me to their house for a party that day.
A powerful force like the Haizhou Chamber of Commerce is indeed a hot commodity at this time.
But more importantly, Dagang and the others have also arrived now.
Yu Hua also said that I can go to the Haizhou Chamber of Commerce to find him at any time.
I think now is the time to go, every second counts.
Because I asked Miss Lin, she said today is,
May 1, 1919
If nothing else happens, the May 4th Movement will go down in history in three days.
Just when I was lost in thought, I suddenly noticed that the familiar holographic screen slowly appeared in front of me. I had seen it before in "Nine Days of Ghost Story".
I immediately clicked on it and swiped through it to see the specific information.
The information I have available is listed above.
"The initial mission is: to find the Fox Fairy.
The key word is a poem: The fox sleeps on the grave at sunset, and the children return home at night in front of the laughing lamp.
Completion progress: 50%"
Half of the progress was actually completed?
I remembered that when we were in school, Ren Jian and I were half pushed and half led to the square by Dagang and the others. At that time, they were worshiping the fox fairy.
So, I did find the Fox Fairy, but it has nothing to do with the keywords in this mission.
Perhaps that’s why I’m only halfway there.
Maybe, I need to find the true identity of the Fox Fairy to complete the mission.
I thought of Yu Hua's words. He could complete the mission and pass the game without doing anything. As long as he survived safely, this might be a clue.
As long as I restore the cause and effect of everything back then, I can find the real Fox Fairy and complete my mission.
The holographic screen also lists known clues.
Clue 1: One day in heaven and one year on earth. (unlocked)
Clue 2: There is a liar among the students.
Clue 3: The two people in Yachang are right in their minds, saying that they are protected by jade treasures and armor.
Derived from the purpose of the school student union: self-restraint and etiquette, careful independence and self-cultivation, the rise and fall of the country, everyone is responsible.
Only clue 3 is followed by the reason for obtaining it.
I remember that I got the clue because I recited this purpose silently, but I still don’t understand what it means.
The holographic screen is also very responsible as before, and it satisfactorily displays prompts after the task.
"Mission: Find the Fox Fairy,
Tip: Miss Lin, May 4th, school dormitory. "
I have met Miss Lin, but she clearly doesn't know much. She doesn't even know Hu Yun's current situation.
Wait... Hu Yun is an important character, but he has already died in that eternal space.
In addition to being related to him, does Miss Lin have other clues?
May 4th was the day of the movement, and everything became clear on that day.
As for the school dormitory, I remembered what Yu Hua said.
He said that after returning to this world, he was unable to find the whereabouts of the school for three consecutive years, so it seemed that it would be difficult to find it.
Not to mention the dormitory building.
Thinking of this, I immediately set off to find Yu Hua at the Haizhou Chamber of Commerce.
It is indeed a grand chamber of commerce, with a luxurious atmosphere at the entrance. Two well-dressed people went in to help me inform the president.
Soon they came out and greeted me respectfully into the office.
Yu Hua was sitting behind the desk facing the door. Behind him was a huge high window that was ajar.
He was not surprised at all by my arrival. When he saw my arrival, he sent away those two people and the secretary in the room.
This scene feels very familiar to me.
This was just like the first time I met him in the office of the general manager of the company.
It's just that at this moment, our identity, situation, and state of mind are already different.
Just before I set off to the Chamber of Commerce, I saw another thing that I thought was weird.
You can see the friends list in one corner of the holographic screen, where you can see your friends' online status.
When we formed a team when we first came to the game, the system seemed to automatically temporarily pull the people we had formed into temporary group friends.
Originally, there were six of us in two groups in one dormitory, but at this time the two girls had become gray and offline.
I saw that Dagang was online just as Yu Hua said.
But Yu Hua was in a very strange state, because his icon was flashing.
Above everyone, there is a strange symbol. The status of the symbol is exactly the same as Yu Hua's icon, and it also flashes.
It is clear to me that the icon means exactly that, Hastur.
But I knew that Yu Hua could never be Him, because a mortal like me couldn't look directly at Him, and I didn't feel any discomfort when I looked at Yu Hua at the moment.
And Renjian also has a separate icon.
Perhaps it was precisely because he said at the time that Ren Jian was just his incarnation, so his identity was recognized and listed as a separate individual by the game system.
More importantly, Ren's status is online.
Yu Hua's eyes were carefully studying my expression. It felt as if I was a transparent person and everything I was thinking was exposed under his nose.
I couldn't stand being looked at by him, so I finally spoke: "Mr. Yu, I just thought about it for a long time, and I think you are right. It is the best way to let nature take its course and get through the game safely and leave nature."
Naturally, I didn't think so in my heart, but he obviously knew a lot more than me, so I had no choice but to be conceited.
Girls can also be men’s wives! Being able to bend and stretch is the only way to work hard in society.
He gestured to me and continued: "Mr. Yu, there are not many people left in this world, and we had friendship in the past. I think now we have the same mind and share the same goals. It would be best if we could form an alliance." It’s the result.”
He looked at me and smiled, acquiescing.
I continued: "Well, since we are already allies and we are all in the same boat, Mr. Yu, you see... Since we are allies, why not just be honest with each other..."
"Oh? How can we be honest with each other?" As soon as he heard me say this, he suddenly became interested and interrupted.
A pair of cold, wide eyes were full of smiles at this moment. He pushed away the office chair, supported the desk with his big hands, turned around repeatedly, stood up and stared at me.
I was standing in front of his desk, very close.
