113: Chapter 113 Alt Account Reported? The Great Demon King Watches Them Being Interrogated from the Corner

Behind the side door of the equipment room.

Lin Yuan pushed open a storage room.

Inside were piles of broken ball nets, snapped javelins, and half a box of bloodstained knee pads.

He closed the door.

In his earpiece, Su Xiaonuan's voice was very low.

"Boss Lin, Dr. Su and Teacher Xia are fine."

"The kidnappers are all dead."

"The pregnant woman is real, and the child is real too."

"But her husband and a dozen or so outer-circle survivors had colluded long ago."

Lin Yuan lit his lighter.

The flame flickered.

Then he snapped it shut.

"Continue."

Su Xiaonuan paused for half a second.

"They knew you weren't there."

"They knew Qin Yumo was injured."

"They knew Lu Yan values loyalty and wouldn't dare risk the child."

"And they knew Aunt and Teacher Xia would soften their hearts."

"This isn't something ordinary survivors could have figured out."

Her voice was tense.

As if waiting for a verdict.

"You handled it well."

The other side of the earpiece went quiet.

Su Xiaonuan's breathing eased slightly.

"Boss Lin…"

Lin Yuan interrupted her: "You used Su Muxue and Xia Qingqiu as bait, and you also had Wang Ya hide in the drainage ditch in advance."

"Being able to counter-kill shows you're starting to understand."

"A housekeeper in the apocalypse isn't just about serving tea."

Su Xiaonuan's voice trembled.

"I was afraid you would think I was negligent."

"Of course you were negligent."

Lin Yuan's tone was very flat.

Su Xiaonuan immediately held her breath.

Lin Yuan continued: "But your remedy was acceptable."

"Next time, I don't want to hear about this kind of thing."

"Yes."

This response was much steadier than before.

Lin Yuan asked: "What about the aftermath?"

Su Xiaonuan answered immediately.

"The bodies have been hung on the outer-circle quarantine line."

"The rations of all relatives of the participants have been reduced to the minimum."

"But the problem isn't the bodies."

"It's the intelligence."

She tapped on her tablet a few times.

"The source has been found."

"Liu Qing."

Lin Yuan didn't speak.

Su Xiaonuan continued: "She didn't leak the information on purpose."

"When she went out to visit her parents, she let a few things about the internal situation slip."

"Her parents live in the temporary area of Villa No. 21, where the treatment is better than in the ordinary shanty areas."

"Her mother bragged at the water collection point."

"She said her daughter lives in Tiangong No. 1 and that she knows who is injured and who is in charge inside."

"These fragments were pieced together, which led to today's setup."

Lin Yuan leaned against the storage rack.

"What are you planning to do?"

Su Xiaonuan hesitated for a second.

"I…"

Lin Yuan interrupted her.

"You are the head housekeeper."

"You set the rules of the house yourself."

He paused.

"Don't make me clean up after you when I get back."

Su Xiaonuan's voice dropped.

"If you want to punish me…"

Lin Yuan said coldly: "Be serious."

"Understood."

The communication cut off.

Lin Yuan pushed open the storage room door.

There was no one outside the side door of the equipment room.

He fished a cigarette out of his pocket and was just about to bite it.

A hand suddenly reached out.

"Slap."

The cigarette was snatched away and then stuffed back into his arms.

Fang Xiaoxiao lowered her voice.

"Are you crazy?"

"Cigarettes are more expensive than meat right now."

"If anyone sees you, don't expect to sleep soundly tonight."

Lin Yuan looked at her.

Fang Xiaoxiao frowned.

"There are over a thousand people in Jiang University."

"On the surface, everyone calls Chu Feng 'Senior,' but in reality, who doesn't have their own agenda?"

She raised her finger and pointed at the red cloth on Lin Yuan's arm.

"You're a newcomer, aren't you afraid of being targeted if you show something like that?"

Because she was close when she snatched the cigarette, her shoulder almost bumped into Lin Yuan's chest.

There was a smell of sweat on the girl.

It didn't smell good.

But it was very real.

Lin Yuan lowered his head, putting on an honest look.

"Thank you."

Fang Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment.

"Stop saying thank you all the time."

"It sounds like I'm bullying you."

She was just about to step back.

"Bang!"

The door to the equipment room was kicked open.

Ma Chao rushed in with a dozen or so students.

Bai Jingchen stood behind the crowd, holding that Western sword in his hand.

Ma Chao saw the distance between the two at a glance.

Fang Xiaoxiao was still holding her hand up, poking Lin Yuan's arm.

This scene, falling into his eyes, immediately took on a different meaning.

Ma Chao's face flushed red.

"Brother Bai!"

"You saw it, right!"

"This pair of illicit lovers is hiding here trafficking arms!"

He pointed at Lin Yuan.

"Boss Lin is definitely a spy sent by the authorities!"

"He's using his looks to get close to Fang Xiaoxiao just to figure out Jiang University's defenses!"

Fang Xiaoxiao's face darkened.

"Ma Chao, are you sick?"

"I was afraid he'd show off his wealth and get robbed, so I told him to hide the cigarette."

She took out the cigarette and threw it at Ma Chao's feet.

"It's just one cigarette."

"You call this arms trafficking?"

The fatty squeezed in from the doorway, saw the situation, and cursed.

"No, Ma Chao, what are you pulling now?"

The skinny guy also followed.

Seeing Lin Yuan surrounded, his expression wasn't good.

Ma Chao sneered.

"Of course you'd speak up for him."

"You're practically mesmerized by him."

"A pretty boy who just arrived, acting pitiful, giving out biscuits, and just happening to survive when danger comes."

"When the drone exploded at the East Gate, he was right in the drainage ditch!"

"You call this a coincidence? If he's not a mole, then what is he!"

Several veteran members' faces changed.

Jiang University had just broken ties with the authorities.

The word "mole" was more jarring than "zombie."

Someone whispered: "Better to kill an innocent person than to let over a thousand people be buried with them."

Ma Chao immediately followed up.

"I'm not targeting him."

"I'm doing this for Jiang University."

The fatty laughed.

"You're doing this for Jiang University?"

"How many zombies have you killed?"

"How many crystal cores have you dug out?"

"Besides blabbering every day about who your family knew in the past, what else have you done?"

The skinny guy added a final blow.

"During the day, you even pushed someone to block a shot."

"Now you're acting all righteous, Ma Chao, you're something else."

Ma Chao's face turned pale.

"That was a misunderstanding!"

Fang Xiaoxiao stood in front of Lin Yuan.

"Brother Bai."

"Boss Lin was brought back by me."

"If you want to investigate, you can."

"But I won't agree to lynching."

Bai Jingchen finally spoke.

"Everyone step back three paces."

The enforcement team students looked at each other.

They lowered their crossbows.

Bai Jingchen walked up to Lin Yuan.

"I will ask three questions."

Lin Yuan nodded.

"Where do you come from?"

"A nearby residential complex."

"Why did you come to Jiang University?"

"I ran out of food."

"Have you had any contact with the authorities?"

"No."

Lin Yuan answered slowly.

As if afraid of saying the wrong thing.

Ma Chao immediately shouted: "Brother Bai, why are you still asking questions at a time like this?"

"It'll be too late once he blows up the school gate!"

"Lock him up first!"

"Interrogate him and everything will come out!"

Several radical students joined in the commotion.

"Lock him up!"

"We can't take the risk!"

"Government people are the best at pretending!"

On the other side, the people from Search and Rescue Team 3 looked grim.

Someone on good terms with Fang Xiaoxiao whispered: "If we arrest people without evidence, who will dare to go out with the team to save people in the future?"

"Today it's Boss Lin, will it be us tomorrow?"

Bai Jingchen raised his right hand.

He moved his little finger slightly.

Lin Yuan lowered his head, watching his hand out of the corner of his eye.

There was no note.

Bai Jingchen furrowed his brows.

He moved his little finger a second time.

Still nothing.

His palm was empty.

Bai Jingchen's hand holding the sword tightened for the first time.

The tip of the sword tapped lightly against the ground, making a very faint sound.

Lin Yuan had his answer.

The note is not all-knowing.

If the mental pressure isn't strong enough, it can't be read.

Or rather.

For people within the same player system, it is ineffective.

Just like how the favorability system is ineffective against Shen Qingyue.

Seeing Bai Jingchen silent, Ma Chao thought he had caught an opportunity.

"Brother Bai!"

"This guy has major issues!"

"We can't let him destroy Jiang University!"

Fang Xiaoxiao turned her head sharply.

"When you talk about killing the wrong person, have you ever thought that the person killed by mistake also wanted to live?"

Ma Chao gritted his teeth.

"It's the apocalypse, someone always has to sacrifice!"

"Then you sacrifice first."

The fatty replied quickly.

"I think you're quite suitable."

Someone nearby couldn't help but laugh.

Ma Chao's face looked even worse.

Bai Jingchen's voice turned cold.

"Enough."

He looked at Ma Chao.

"Chu Feng's rule is to save those who can be saved."

"It's not 'whoever you want to suspect, you kill'."

Ma Chao's lips moved.

He didn't dare to talk back.

Bai Jingchen turned around and looked at everyone.

"Boss Lin will continue to be observed by Search and Rescue Team 3 for the time being."

"If he has ill intentions, he can leave on his own; Jiang University won't stop him."

"But before there is evidence, we treat everyone equally."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Yuan.

"Mr. Ghost will continue to observe you."

This sentence was like a warning.

It was also like finding an excuse for himself.

Lin Yuan lowered his head.

"I understand."

Fang Xiaoxiao was clearly dissatisfied.

"Brother Bai, Ma Chao pushed someone to block a shot during the day, how are we dealing with that?"

Ma Chao panicked.

"Fang Xiaoxiao!"

Bai Jingchen looked at him.

"Ma Chao, your position in the search and rescue team is suspended."

"Go to the corpse disposal team."

Ma Chao froze completely.

The corpse disposal team.

The dirtiest, smelliest, and the most likely place to encounter faked-death infected.

The fatty grinned.

"Congratulations."

"You finally have work to do."

The skinny guy nodded.

"Great progress."

Ma Chao's face turned deathly pale.

He looked at Lin Yuan.

That look was as if he wanted to tear someone apart.

Lin Yuan sat back in the corner, acting as if he didn't see it.

Bai Jingchen led the people away.

The equipment room returned to silence.

Fang Xiaoxiao picked up the cigarette and threw it back into Lin Yuan's arms.

"Hide it well."

"Also."

She glanced outside the door.

"Ma Chao is petty."

"Don't run into him alone in the future."

Lin Yuan nodded.

"Mm."

The fatty patted Lin Yuan's shoulder.

"You're quite tough."

The skinny guy handed half a piece of chocolate that smelled like his body odor to Lin Yuan: "It's good to be tough."

"Soft persimmons don't last long in Jiang University."

"This chocolate is me returning the favor for your biscuits."

Lin Yuan gave an awkward smile.

He was just about to refuse.

In his earpiece, Su Xiaonuan's voice sounded again.

"Boss Lin."

"The family meeting has started."

"Liu Qing is already kneeling."
