Lin Yi's File
Meanwhile, Qin Rang and the others had already arrived at the experimental building. As soon as they arrived, they saw An Ying and Lin Nieran.
"You were together?"
An Ying glanced at Lin Nieran, Lin Nieran generously raised her hand to greet her.
A few minutes earlier, he had just moved a chair to sit on the rooftop of the laboratory to escape the heat when he unexpectedly encountered An Ying, who jumped up from downstairs.
To be honest, even though Lin Nieran knew An Ying was very fast, he didn't expect to bump into her. Fortunately, apart from a 007 he couldn't see, there were no other cards around him.
The An Ying saw him, she almost hallucinated Lin Nieran lying comfortably in the rocking chair in the Weapon Shop.
"Hi?" Seeing someone arrive, Lin Nieran sat up slightly and waved somewhat awkwardly.
An Ying unconsciously stopped walking. "There aren't many bombs around here, it's definitely a good place."
"Aren't you one too? You're just one person ahead of me in line."
"I dodged all those bombs, so I didn't count them." An Ying was very fast; often, by the time the bombs appeared beside him, he had already dodged to the other side.
Lin Nieran patted the empty space beside him. "You can rest here too, I'll give you a spot."
An Ying hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "How do you manage to be so relaxed even in Instance?"
"I just rested for a little while, isn't this my break time?"
An Ying's eyes were filled with disbelief.
After exchanging a few words, An Ying went to find Qin Rang, and Lin Nieran went downstairs with her.
"You guys carry on, I'm going to find a quieter place to hide." Lin Nieran waved goodbye and disappeared in a few breaths.
"Good."
"I always felt that this Boss Lin was not simple," Sheng Qingqiao muttered to herself.
"It's normal for others to have secrets. The fact that he dared to operate alone in the Instance shows that he's confident in his abilities," Mi Chuchu said. "Perhaps we can test him out sometime. If he's capable, we can recruit him to the Authorities and make him our colleague! He repairs weapons better than anyone else!"
Qin Rang said, "The Authorities invited them a long time ago, but they declined. Time is of the essence, let's go to the Archive Room first."
In front of the Archive Room:
An Ying pulled out her umbrella, activated its energy, and with a flash of lightning, the door and lock of the Archive Room turned to charcoal.
Qin Rang's gaze lingered on a small amount of dust that had been wiped away from the ground. Following the dust, they found the cabinet in the fifth row.
"Mi Chuchu, stay alert. Everyone else, come and search together. We don't know how much rest time we have, so we need to hurry," Qin Rang said.
The group picked up all the files on the third row and began to examine them.
"This dust looks fresh; did someone come to see the files before this?" Tao Yuan asked in a low voice. "Could it be Bai Yang?"
Qin Rang narrowed his fox-like eyes. "Whoever it is, there's something they want to tell us here."
A few minutes later, An Ying found a file with a piece of paper torn out. When she took it out, she saw that the photo on it was actually the face of a human child.
Although the face looks terrifying, with the upper half covered in scars, it is human-like, not a monster.
"Lin Yi, Class 6), graduated at age 12, male, from a single-parent family, lives in... Unit 2 Building One 1, Happy Residential Complex, Unit Two 404?"
The subsequent description of the family's circumstances was torn out.
But... Happy Residential Complex, isn't that the community they live in?
"Boom--!"
The sound of bombs rang out again outside. Everyone quickly put away their files. When they walked into the Corridor, they found that the teaching building, which had just been destroyed, had been restored to its original state, and the dead students had come back to life.
Screams and cries echoed through the school once again. The second round of the game had begun.
"Sheng Qingqiao, An Ying and I are going to Class 62. Tao Yuan and Mi Chuchu, you two be careful," Qin Rang said.
"Good!"
The bombs fell much faster than in the first round, and they were also much more powerful.
The explosive force of a single bomb is enough to take away half the life of an unsuspecting player.
Moreover, the use of certain Weird Objects is restricted here; anything that shouldn't exist in this era or is prohibited by the school's Rules cannot be used.
The second and third rounds of bombs were so densely packed that even though Lin Nieran had tried his best to find places with fewer people and fewer bombs, and had detonated quite a few bombs, he was still covered in dust and dirt from the explosions.
An hour later, the second and third rounds of explosions ended, and the fourth round began.
This time, the bomb was the size of a human head. Lin Nieran kicked it towards the opposite teaching building, blasting a huge hole in it.
The ground where the Protagonist Group were located shook violently, mushroom clouds appeared one after another, half of the building collapsed, and countless people fell into the ground.
"Quick, this is the fourth round, this is the last chance."
At the edge of the broken building, Qin Rang grabbed Sheng Qingqiao and ran forward, narrowly avoiding a flying bomb.
An Ying opened the door to Class 6-2 for the third time, but it was no use. They had found the classroom three times, but each time they couldn't open it and could only watch it be destroyed and collapsed by the bomb.
"Boom--!"
The blinding light shone, and the surrounding noise suddenly subsided into silence.
Everyone stared blankly at the bright and clean Life Supermarket, unable to react for a long time.
Everyone who returned looked disheveled and as if they had just crawled out of their graves.
Flower Language took a step back with a hint of disdain. Ji Fengbai glanced at Lin Nieran, and seeing that he was alright, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
More than sixty people returned this time, while more than eighty people went in in total; the casualties were not light.
Even now, when they sit down, they can't help but raise their hands to slap each other at the sound of movement. Several people have been hit by their teammates and are angrily accusing them.
"The kids' games are back, the old people's Instance are back, only the weird dog-raising Instance... none of them have returned," someone murmured.
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Tao Yuan took out Bubble Machine to heal the team's injuries. In this Instance's overall ranking, Qin Rang first and Wen Keke was second. Although the second place was only a little behind the first, the Little Dumpling only recognized the first place.
[You're a great older brother, but unfortunately you're already Xiaoxia's Dad, so you can't be my older brother anymore.]
When Qin Rang heard the girl say that, she then left him something familiar, which he almost instinctively threw away.
It was a pink, round bomb, exactly the same as the one they threw in the fourth round.
"What are the Rules of this thing?" Tao Yuan, who was almost reflexive to it, asked with disdain, "Won't it just explode if I leave it out?"
"It's unclear at the moment; we'll have to take it back to the Authorities," Qin Rang said. "The files we brought from school are also missing. As for that person, we'll just keep it to ourselves."
"Don't worry, we understand."
"Since the school and classes are deliberately preventing us from going in, let's go check out room 404 during the day and see if we can find Lin Yi."
