The Wrong Process, the Right Conclusion

"A few days ago, when we were fighting zombies at Shannan Town, did any of the students disappear? Or behaved strangely?"

During the day, Lao Miao Miao accidentally bumped into Ling Xin asking a boy, but the other boy shook his head. "There must be a lot of people, several Senior Brother have counted them, but they were just running for their lives at that time. Who can pay attention to whether others are abnormal..."

Ling Xin nodded. "Thank you. If you remember anything, I hope you can tell me."

Seeing the boy leaving, Lao Miao Miao came forward and asked, "What are you trying to find out?"

Ling Xin has a relatively withdrawn personality and aloof temperament. Both boys and girls keep a distance from her. These days, Lao Miao Miao is really getting closer to her and takes the initiative to share a room with her. The two of them are quite familiar with each other.

"Nothing... just a guess..." Ling Xin shook his head.

"Don't you suspect that someone among our classmates released the virus, right?" Lao Miao Miao was smart, and after contacting Ling Xin's question, she immediately thought of her purpose.

"Eternal Virus comes from Wasteland, and can only be brought by Main World..." Lao Miao Miao analyzed. "And the people who came from Main World this month, in addition to the members of Yuan Cultivation Society, are us internship students, and as soon as we arrived at Shannan Town, the virus broke out..."

"Your guess is reasonable, but that's not what I want to ask." Ling Xin shook his head. "Who do you think the Mysterious Expert who took action to kill Virus Progenitor was?"

"Ling Family has a precious phantom Epic-level, which can summon an army of undead. The monsters in it are all mummies. The leader of them, Tomb King, is good at using black flames."

"We were in a bitter fight with Virus Progenitor, so a Mysterious Expert dropped from the sky to help. We were in trouble because we had lost the carriage's cargo, and suddenly there was a group of bandits of unknown origin, protecting the cargo all the way towards Anping Town." Ling Xin looked at Lao Miao Miao: "Don't you think it's a coincidence?"

Lao Miao Miao nodded. "Of course I remember... what can these mean?"

Lao Miao Miao's eyes lit up. "You mean, those bandits are undead monsters pretending to be? So, the people who helped secretly are Ling Family's people? If Virus Progenitor can easily solve such a difficult problem, it shouldn't be your brother who has been secretly protecting us all the way, right?"

"You mean, that Mysterious Expert is a group of bandits who later escorted the goods, and he came specifically to help us?" Lao Miao Miao blinked. "Then he showed up openly and openly, why did he do it secretly and make such a big detour?"

"The witness disappeared after that." Ling Xin shook his head. "I also asked about it when I was at Anping Town. Except for that time, no one has seen this person."

"He?" Lao Miao Miao was slightly startled. "Isn't he the local master of [Martial World]? Has anyone witnessed the battle between him and Virus Progenitor!"

"Do you still remember the bandits we met when we retrieved the goods?" Ling Xin recalled, "At that time, Xiao Tian chased after them and only picked up a burnt rag with the smell of mummy on it. Xiao Tian also said that the rag was burned by black flames."

"Eh?" Lao Miao Miao was slightly startled. "Then you doubt..."

Ling Xin shook his head. "That precious phantom is no longer in the hands of the Ling Family. The time I was trapped in the Secret Realm, in order to express my gratitude, Ling Family gave it to Mysterious Expert who rescued me."

Hearing what he said, Lao Miao Miao's eyes widened. She had already guessed the identity of that person.

"You mean... night?"

"I just said it was possible." Ling Xin looked at Lao Miao Miao: "If the person escorting the goods is indeed Undead Warrior summoned by Cinerary Urn, then this person is almost certainly Ye. No one knows his true identity, so where can he hide? And why are you so concerned about our team?"

"You are suspicious..." Lao Miao Miao looked at the boys who were laughing and having fun not far away with almost disbelief, "Ye, is hiding among these students."

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Ling Xin nodded. "But I asked, and everyone was there that day, so I suspect that 'Ye' may have a treasure or ability to summon a substitute."

After saying that, she shook her head again. "Of course, these are just speculations without any substantive evidence. Maybe, I'm just overthinking..."

Ling Xin said these words casually at the time, but Lao Miao Miao became distracted after hearing it. Throughout the night, his attention was on Male Dormitory opposite, thinking about who might be Ye's true identity.

"I have nothing..." Faced with the roommate's doubts, Lao Miao Miao shook his head. "I was just wondering, who do you think is the strongest among the boys who came together for internship?"

Ling Xin, who was meditating and resting on the bed, moved his ears slightly, but had no other reaction. The other two girls who had just complained about being too noisy across from the other side were stunned for a moment, and they really started to analyze.

"The yin in our class is strong and the yang is weak... The most powerful among all the students must be you and Ling Xin. As for the boys... they should be Lu Fei and Xiao Tian, right?" said the girl with short hair.

"I think Lei Tianyang is also very powerful. Although he is only a freshman and it hasn't been long since he broke through the Heart Refining Realm, he has a good family background and Thunder Control Technique is also very powerful. The other seniors who reached Heart Refining Realm earlier than him also admit that they are no match for him!" added another curly-haired girl.

In the end, it's still Lu Fei, Xiao Tian, Lei Tianyang... Lao Miao Miao frowned, these three have alibis...

"By the way, I heard that there is a person named Ye Zichen in the first grade, who is also Heart Refining Realm. Why haven't I seen him come to the internship? Some senior Foundation Establishment Realm people can be selected..." The short-haired girl thought of a fish that slipped through the net.

"Oh, I heard that he didn't seem to sign up..." The curly-haired girl was very well-informed. "It is said that there are some powerful people in the family. Although he did not participate in the internship during this period, he asked for leave from the college to go back for special training..."

Didn't sign up... for special training?

Lao Miao Miao had an idea, Ye... Ye... could it be that the person who first did the mission with him misheard the homophone, and actually called himself "Ye"? And Ye probably had a way to change his appearance, so he told the outside world that it was a special training at home, and he probably followed him into [Martial World] by pretending to be a student?

As soon as the idea opened up, Lao Miao Miao thought more and more that it was possible, and quickly asked, "What is the ability of the person named Ye Zichen? Have you heard of it?"

"It seems to be Manipulation School..." The curly-haired girl thought for a while, "And he has a deep family background. He carries a lot of precious phantoms with him. He seems to be able to control multiple precious phantoms at the same time. He is jokingly called Treasure Item Master..."

Good at using Noble Phantasms?

Lao Miao Miao frowned. Although these students are all excellent, they are still young after all. They don't have many treasures in their hands, and their cultivation is not very deep. Hundred Treasure Box doesn't have much position...

Wait, Lao Miao Miao suddenly remembered, I think I heard Lu Fei mention it, Luo Jun has a very high-level expansion column, and there are many strange and weird Noble Phantasms... And when he rescued the little girl Sword Saint Sect before, he also took out a Rare-level and Qi Storage Spirit Stone... That is the hard currency in the Noble Phantasm!

He is Body Refinement Realm, how come he has so many treasures, and I have never seen him use them before this time...

Could it be that... it's this guy?
