Feeling the weight on his shoulder, Ji Yan's eyes flickered.
He spoke with a hint of mockery. "Old Qian, the way you're asking me for help now is completely different from how you sounded when you first started carrying me."
"But is it that you can't go in, or that you don't want to?"
Qian Duoduo retracted those tentacles. Looking at Ji Yan's sarcastic smile, he spoke somewhat awkwardly. "I really can't go in."
"That guy L used a privilege that only designated one NPC to enter—the Dean's Assistant."
"Unfortunately, I gave you that Role Card, which created this awkward situation."
Ji Yan continued, "The [White Chess Player]'s privilege is to manipulate players. It can't manipulate NPCs, right?"
