It's dawn.

It was already afternoon when Yu Ruoli woke up again.

She looked at her hands in horror, clean, as before, without fish scales, and her legs were as usual.

The setting sun hanging on the sky of the city sprinkled into her windows, and the warm feeling made her feel like she was a different world.

Come back...

Really back.

The last memory also surged into my heart.

That person is...Mr. Qin.

But, [Professor] is Qin Manjiang, who is [Abyss]?

Mr. Qin... He saved me.

Yu Ruoli trembled and took out her cell phone, and she hesitated again when she was about to press and call.

No... He is wearing a mask, and the code name is also [Professor], which means that he may not want others to know his identity.

He must be doing something that needs to be kept confidential.

so……

Yu Ruoli's finger slowly moved away from the dial key.

Not disturbing him is the best help...

Yu Ruoli looked out the window.

Fucheng is still Fucheng, and the people outside the window are busy, as if they are walking on a completely different road from them.

And they can no longer return to their normal lives.

Even more unlikely, have normal feelings.

———

Yu Ruoli did not choose to call Qin Manjiang, but Shen Shi was different.

After he passed the game, he contacted Qin Manjiang as soon as possible.

"Hello?"

Shen Shi is not unfamiliar with this sound, but compared to before, it seems that there is something missing.

"How did you do it?"

Shen Shi asked.

In his opinion, the final pass should be the same as when the dean was eliminated, and Yu Ruoli, who had been "alienated".

But Yu Ruoli was not dead, and Qin Manjiang was not dead either.

He must have done something.

"Props."

"My props."

Qin Manjiang's tone was not at all turbulent, and he seemed to be a little cold.

"I accept your proposal," Shen Shi said, looking out the window, "just treat you as the reward for taking me through the clearance."

Qin Manjiang raised his eyebrows, and Shen Shi said that he would help him get his cell phone back?

He does need a [Episodes World] mobile phone.

He also wanted to figure out the identity of the fake man in Fucheng [Pupil Realm]. If Shen Shi agreed, it would be a good thing.

"You can investigate his identity first."

Qin Manjiang said.

"Needless to say, I will do that."

Shen Shi was silent for a moment and hung up the phone.

On the other side, Qin Manjiang, who was in Yuecheng, appeared strangely in front of the sink on the first floor of the apartment.

Last night, a murder occurred here.

The game mode of Yuecheng [Eye Realm] has been completely changed. Players with permanent props have merged their own permanent props and have become half-human and half-ghost existences, chasing the rest of the players.

Last night, a player with the ability of [Condensation Water to Ice] killed Yan Yaoling.

Qin Manjiang and Fang Xiu came to investigate and felt the call of Fucheng [Pupil Realm]. He took a step first. Now it seems that Fang Xiu has called the police. A cordon has been set up in the lobby on the first floor. The police have come long ago.

It's right.

When Qin Manjiang walked out of the bathroom, he was immediately targeted by several police officers.

Not only because Qin Manjiang looked strange, but even more strangely, the police officers checked the bathroom and knew that there was no one there at all.

How could someone suddenly come out of the bathroom again?

Unless... there is a hidden passage there?

Just as several police officers were about to go over to check, a figure came out from the crowd, and it was Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu saw Qin Manjiang, of course he would not leave Qin Manjiang alone and greeted his colleague in advance: "I'll ask that suspicious person."

After dispelling the questions of the other police officers, Fang Xiu came to Qin Manjiang and asked in a low voice:

"Mr. Qin... You seem to have something to hide from me."

Qin Manjiang glanced at him and said nothing.

He was not the only one who hid something from him. Although the police officer looked worried, he also hid something from him.

"Have you found him?"

Qin Manjiang asked.

Fang Xiu shook his head: "I haven't had time to go back to the police station yet, the woman named Mi Qiao can only go back and check again."

"I asked the murderer last night. There was no drop of water in the air conditioner drain pipe. He flowed out there. Have you found him?" Qin Manjiang asked.

Fang Xiu was stunned. It turned out that he was asking about this.

"No...not found. If the murderer really has the ability to manipulate water, it will be very difficult to catch him."

"I want to know, are there any time limits for your game rules?" Qin Manjiang suddenly asked.

Fang Xiu shook his head: "I am the hunted party. I don't know. Maybe there are some hunters."

Qin Manjiang nodded slightly and raised his cell phone: "Then, I'll leave first. When you feel someone is chasing me, you can notify me."

"Hello……"

Fang Xiu did not stop Qin Manjiang. Seeing that Fang Xiu did not stop, the other police officers allowed Qin Manjiang to leave the lobby on the first floor.

———

After leaving the apartment, Qin Manjiang saw a man from afar.

He squatted across the road, and when he saw Qin Manjiang, he stood up like a dog, and came across the road without looking at the vehicles beside him.

"You're back!"

The dog came to Qin Manjiang, sniffed his body, and his nose frowned.

"Your taste has changed."

Qin Manjiang glanced at him. The old ten seats in Yuecheng twenty years ago were very strange. They were all single-character code names.

However, although this group of people looks weird in ability, in fact, neither Fucheng nor Yuecheng have their place.

They can no longer participate in the [Pupil Realm] on both sides.

But with their single-character code, there is something that surprised Qin Manjiang, that is, some of their parts are particularly simple.

For example, this young man named "Dog" is seventeen or eighteen years old and looks younger than himself.

He will faithfully execute Huo's words, no matter what Huo lets him do.

This is indeed a characteristic of a "dog".

"You have been waiting for me outside?" Qin Manjiang asked.

The dog nodded: "So Hokki said, you will definitely come back."

"He has confidence in me." Qin Manjiang refused to comment.

At this time, the dog picked up his cell phone and called the empty phone.

Soon, the dog handed him the phone.

"Tonight, I will be in Yuelai Hotel."

Sora said.
