I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 279 Beware
"Sorry, I want to investigate on my own. Thank you for the clues you provided. Next, everyone should act separately."

Unexpectedly, Ling Yun rejected Zhu Qingrong's request without thinking.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed their faces.Zhu Qingrong, who was originally confident, was surprised, while Lin Yuanqi and the others were puzzled.

Lin Yuanqi leaned into his ear and asked in a low voice: "What are you thinking about? This is not a treasure hunt game. We have no conflict of interest. There is no harm in cooperating with them and exchanging information with each other?"

Although Lin Yuanqi is an information repository, because of Zhu Qingrong's special ability, under his control, believers cannot reveal the true face of his ability to the outside world.

Therefore, Lin Yuanqi didn't know that the man in front of him at this moment provided clues to his side without reservation and asked for cooperation with a sincere attitude. Apart from finding a way out, his real purpose was to absorb their abilities.

Although Zhu Qingrong is still neutral at present, he is not as aggressive as Zhao Zhengxun and Xiao Yi, and he only wants to get rid of players other than his own team; but out of caution, Ling Yun still does not want his team's abilities to be stolen by him, especially Tang Yao's rare wind of recovery.

"Why?" Zhu Qingrong frowned and continued, "We are not competitors, so you don't have to be so wary."

He glanced at the other people sitting beside Ling Yun, and continued: "What about you? Do you think the same as him?"

Zhu Qingrong could tell that although the man in front of him had a certain right to speak in the team, he did not have the absolute right to make decisions like himself.

When everyone in a team is equal, there are advantages, but there are also disadvantages.As long as he can gain the trust of one of them, it will be profitable for Zhu Qingrong to cause conflicts among them from within.

However, things were very different from what he had imagined.

Although those four people couldn't understand Ling Yun's behavior, after thinking about it for a while, they all acquiesced to Ling Yun's idea.

Obviously, the tacit understanding and trust between these people far exceeded my original expectations.

"Well, since that's the case, I won't force you."

Zhu Qingrong didn't say anything more, it was just a waste of time to continue talking.He handed Ling Yun a piece of paper with his phone number written on it, and said sincerely: "However, I still hope you will think about it carefully. If you change your mind, you can contact me at any time."

"No problem." Ling Yun took the note, got up and sent everyone outside the door.

After Zhu Qingrong and his party left, Lin Yuanqi couldn't wait to ask the other party why he rejected Zhu Qingrong just now.

Watching the other party drive away in the car, Ling Yun said: "He is very smart. He found us very quickly by investigating the surrounding cases without any prompts in just three hours after he entered the mission. "

"Yeah, anyway, we were assigned to this haunted house as soon as we came up, and the intermediary gave us a lot of information, so we knew the general situation of the mission content. Otherwise, if we were ordinary people, we would be assigned to ordinary NPCs. He must be able to react so quickly. I have to say, that guy's brain is really good. If that's the case, Ling Yun, why don't you cooperate with him?" Li Xinjian was even more surprised.

"It's because he's so smart that he looks suspicious."

It is inconvenient for Ling Yun to directly tell his companions about Zhu Qingrong's ability, so he can only guide them in another way: "I will never come to the door and tell the other player who I am when I don't know the specific content of the mission and other players. , and share the information you have collected with them.”

"After all, I'm not sure about the strength of the other party's team and whether it's worth cooperating with; and how can he be sure that our attitude is completely friendly? Looking at the whole space, treat Xiao Yi like Xiao Yi. Even if players from the same area and different bases, there are not a few people who will hurt the killer. Even if we have no malicious intentions, who knows if they are?"

Hearing what Ling Yun said, the others suddenly showed thoughtful expressions, especially Lin Yuanqi.

During the holiday in May before, Lin Yuanqi went to another place, and because of this, he missed Ren Yao's banquet.At that time, Lin Yuanqi lied to other companions that he was going on a date, but in fact, he received a "private job".

The person who met Lin Yuanqi was a female player from the B12 base in the second district.

She told Lin Yuanqi that in a common dungeon a week ago, in order to plunder the props held by the members of the B07 base, the B12 base actually backstabbed the cooperative team during the mission, and killed three of the players with the hands of ghosts.

The captain of the B12 base couldn't swallow this breath, so he asked someone to find Lin Yuanqi, and paid him a large commission to investigate the real-life information of those players in B07.

Thinking of this, he also agreed with Ling Yun's opinion.

"Indeed, when encountering other teams during missions, everyone's attitude is mostly probing, and gradually let go of their vigilance and establish a cooperative relationship in the later running-in. That man named Zhu Qingrong is thoughtful, and it stands to reason that his style of doing things should be the same , shouldn’t have been unexpected.”

Tang Yao held her chin and said: "Brother Ling said so, I also feel that their motives are not pure."

"In short, to be cautious, let's wait until the task is released. In the next time, we will definitely have contact with them. If they are really trustworthy, it is not too late to cooperate."

Ling Yun said: "Let's continue with our previous plan while it's still daylight: first ask the nearby residents about the James family, and then go to the town."

On the other side, Liu Jigeng was driving the car, and Yan Ru in the passenger seat carefully looked at Zhu Qingrong's face through the rearview mirror.

Zhu Qingrong didn't speak a word all the way, he just sat there with his eyes closed, and seemed to be in a bad mood.

And Feng Yijia sat in the back row with him, her palms were sweating even more nervously. Compared with the other two companions, she can be said to be the most tormented of the three.

Everyone is well aware of Zhu Qingrong's ability, and also knows that the captain is extremely good at disguising, and he has not missed it so far.

Originally, they all thought that gaining the trust of those five people was a certainty, but who knew that the other party refused so decisively.

"Captain, what should we do next? Shall we go home directly?" Liu Jigeng suggested: "If we can find out more things before they do, then the other party can only beg to cooperate with us."

"Yes, for a long time, no outsiders know the true face of the captain's ability. I think they must be more cautious and have too many concerns before rejecting you." Yan Ru said quickly.

Zhu Qingrong slowly opened his eyes. Although he looked immature on the outside, the aura emanating from his body made the other three people in the car dare not breathe wildly.

"Forget it, next time, they will definitely beg me instead." Zhu Qingrong sneered, as if Ling had a plan.
