Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

"..."

Isn't it because he looks handsome?

Qin Xuezao gave up, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and turned back to sit down.

At the table, everyone was talking and laughing while eating, except Zhuang Dao, who was relatively silent. He took the initiative to leave halfway through the meal, and asked Bai Yu for some leftovers before returning to his room.

This further confirmed Lu Zhong's guess that the other party was fishing for empty air, and he also looked at the taciturn Qin Xuezhao, guessing that Qin Xuezhao must have mocked him a few times, and the fisherman's self-esteem was hurt.

Qin Xuezao was too lazy to respond and remained silent.

Just like that, Bai Yu's application for admission was approved with four votes in favor and two no votes, and he got the last vacant room to stay in.

After taking a look at the room, Bai Yu guessed that, according to normal circumstances, this room should have been reserved for the investigator...

After a brief pause he came into the living room.

There were not many people in the living room, but the open space outside the villa was used as a training ground where students practiced fighting.

Instead, Su Ruoji did not step forward.

Logically speaking, she had not yet broken through to the extraordinary level, so she should have been quite anxious, but she was very balanced.

Bai Yu was a little confused about this and stepped forward to ask, "Aren't you going to train?"

"I don't want to train today. I'm too tired. Let me take a rest." Su Ruoji stretched.

"The college entrance exam is coming soon. If you enter Chaofan, you will definitely be able to go to the university of your choice." Bai Yu added: "Aren't you in a hurry?"

"I'm anxious, but what's the point of being anxious?" Su Ruoji lay in a chair and looked at the starry sky at night, his tone calm and unhurried: "My talent and ability are very ordinary, so there is no need to rush. As long as I can achieve extraordinary results within a month, it will be enough."

Average talent... Many people gave Su Ruoji this evaluation. Although she inherited the blood of the Heroic Spirit, her talent was quite ordinary. Even if she activated her acquired blood of the Heroic Spirit, she might not be able to compare with those top geniuses, not to mention there was a tangible genius - Qin Xuezhao.

Also because the senior who was originally scheduled did not stay, Qin Xuezhao was responsible for guiding the others.

We are all classmates, and some of us have already started teaching others.

...What a genius.

Bai Yu thought of someone and sat down as well: "Isn't it quite complicated to be around a genius?"

Su Ruo didn't comment, and then asked, "You sound like you can relate to what I'm saying?"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "I do know a genius... one with the innate bloodline of a heroic spirit."

Su Ruo turned her head away and said in disbelief, "You're bragging. The bloodline of an innate heroic spirit is even rarer than that of a martial saint."

"I do know him." Bai Yu didn't explain, simply saying, "So I feel a lot of pressure. Just to stand by his side, I have to put in ten times the effort. And it just so happens... he's not only talented, but also a master of the game. It's simply impossible to play with him."

Su Ruoji almost burst into tears when she heard this. She felt a pang of sadness and nodded repeatedly, "Who said it wasn't true? Oh, it's so unfair that such a person with good talent and hard work can't succeed." She held her chin and whispered, "But I'm used to it... I believe you will get used to it slowly."

After she finished speaking, she put down the watermelon and walked towards the crowd: "It's my turn next! Who wants to spar with me? I want to pick the most beautiful girl!"

There was a commotion among the crowd.

Bai Yu picked up a piece of watermelon.

Until now, everything is normal. The atmosphere seems harmonious. We are a group of friendly and loving classmates, and there is no sign of conflict.

He took a bite, and red liquid flowed down his fingers and dripped onto the grass.

But, that’s where it ends.

White mist rose from the distant mountains, and a cold wind blew through the treetops, as if a rainstorm was coming.

Chapter 159 The Will of Seven

"Strange, the temperature dropped suddenly."

Lu Zhong walked in, arms folded. "It's so cold! We were supposed to escape the heat, but now it feels like we've stepped into a refrigerator."

"Just tell me whether you've avoided it or not?" Yu Haiqing had just finished a shower and felt refreshed. While cleaning her ears with a cotton swab, she said, "It's so cool, I feel good."

"Of course you're not cold since you just took a shower." Lu Zhong also went to another bathroom.

In the entire team, there are six people, four women and two men, and including Bai Yu, there are only three men.

It was just when everyone had just finished taking a shower and was discussing what to do next to pass the time.

Zhuang Dao pushed open the door and walked in, his face blue from the cold. He circulated his Qi to keep warm, but his shoulders were still shaking.

"Something's wrong." Zhuang Dao walked in quickly, turned back to look at Qin Xuezao and said, "The weather outside has suddenly changed, the temperature has dropped by more than ten degrees!"

"I didn't see the weather forecast." Su Ruoji said strangely, and then took out the information terminal: "Let me check... Hmm? The network is down?"

“I’m offline too.”

"Same."

"+1"

Several people confirmed that their phones had no network.

Zhuang Dao's expression grew even uglier. After pacing a few times, he said, "What should we do now? I think we'd better leave quickly."

"Don't worry, we just got here, and there's no car to go out." Lu Zhong comforted him, "Zhuang Dao, are you feeling down? Do you want to take a shower to calm down?"

Zhuang Dao waved his hand and looked at Qin Xuezhao again. He hugged Qin Xuezhao's trembling shoulders and asked, "What do you think we should do?"

The red-haired girl had just finished her shower. She wiped her wet hair and said, "Let's stay here tonight and see what the situation is. The weather outside is so bad that leaving is impossible. We don't have a car. Do we have to walk back to Nanling City overnight?"

"Yes, there is such a way of greeting." Yu Haiqing also agreed.

Zhuang Dao fell silent. He took a few steps forward, looked back at Qin Xuezhao, and went upstairs.

The attitude is very strange.

Bai Yu remembered that Zhuang Dao also had some complaints about Qin Xuezao seven years later, and it seemed that there was a lot of connection between the two. Could it be that it originated from this time?

He asked, "Are you classmates not on good terms?"

"It's been fine." Su Ruoji also didn't understand: "I went out fishing today and came back as if I had eaten dynamite. Could it be..."

Bai Yu followed up with another question: "Could it be?"

Su Ruo suddenly realized, "He caught some fried fish?"

Bai Yu: "?"

"Don't you understand? Fried fish means exploded fish. It's a pun, meaning, he..."

"No need to explain, I understand." Bai Yu's mouth twitched several times.

"I understand, so why aren't you laughing?" Su Ruo kept asking, "Isn't it funny?"

"...Can't you see I'm shaking?"

"Oh, it seems it's still funny." Su Ruoji understood that he was shaking with laughter, so he left with satisfaction.

Bai Yu: "..."

I was shivering from the cold.

Being interrupted by Su Ruoji, Bai Yu didn't have time to ask the question he wanted to ask.

After Zhuang Dao left, the atmosphere at the scene returned to normal. Only Qin Xuezhao went upstairs and talked to the other party privately.

Bai Yu tried to listen to the conversation between the two parties, but he didn't have time to eavesdrop, mainly because he was still an outsider, and it was understandable that he was on guard against them.

Next, he needed someone to break the current situation.

While playing Monopoly, there was a knock on the door.

Qin Xuezao approached the door and took the initiative to move closer: "I'll go open the door..."

She opened the door and asked directly: "Is there something wrong...?"

As soon as the words fell, the figure outside the door walked in directly and fell at the entrance.

Bai Yu also stood up and walked towards the door.

Xuantiansi's investigator, the importance of this person is unquestionable.

The reason why the people here were able to hold on until the sixth day was because of the talisman he left behind.

"Miss Qin, who is he?"

As soon as he reached the entrance, he saw Qin Xuezhao supporting the investigator, and the latter's blood inevitably stained the ground and her clothes.

"I don't know." Qin Xuezao shook his head.

Bai Yu approached, reached out and held the investigator's shoulder, and said to Qin Xuezhao, "Could you please get the medical kit?"

Qin Xuezao stood up, her clothes stained with blood. She looked at the bloodstains on the floor and sighed softly: "I don't think this is necessary."

Bai Yu: "?"

Qin Xuezao looked at the investigator: "He's dead."

Bai Yu widened his eyes, turned around and looked at the investigator, reached out and pressed his hand on the other's neck. His pulse disappeared and his heart had stopped beating.

died?

really dead?

Countless question marks appeared in Bai Yu's mind.

He was a little bit unable to comprehend the situation. It was clear in Su Ruoji's diary that the investigator had lived until the third day. He had been injured before, but it was not fatal. Later, he fought desperately with the evil spirit that broke into the villa and eventually died from his injuries.

But he died just after we met?

No...why?

Bai Yu was stunned.

Could it be that my arrival changed the course of the plot?

But I didn't do anything. I just cooked a meal and chatted with the people here.

He had originally planned to wait and see how the situation unfolded, not intervening at all, but as a result of this move… the investigator died.

died!

With a bang, he came in and fell to the ground.

Damn it, why!

Bai Yu's head was buzzing.

I wrote an opening statement and a preparatory document of several hundred words, intending to have an in-depth conversation and a careful analysis with the investigator from Xuantiansi. Since we were both outsiders, we could actually establish a good relationship.

As a result, people came in, but not completely.

The body comes in, the soul floats away.

Damn you...

Bai Yu had a thousand curse words in his heart but couldn't say them out loud, after all, the dead are the greatest.

He could only close the other person's eyes, recite the devil's entrustment in his heart, and then sighed: "He is indeed dead."

As he stood up, the people in the living room gathered around him, but they didn't dare to get close. They just looked at the corpse on the ground with somewhat frightened expressions.

Because as soon as the door was opened, a corpse walked in... No matter how you look at it, this beginning belongs in the category of horror novel.

Damn it, just reopen it.

Bai Yu thought of this, but still suppressed the idea... If there is a problem, restart it and waste destiny points. At least find out why this change happened.

Why did the people from Xuantiansi die as soon as they came in?

The death was too strange.

It cannot be ruled out that the other party died due to more serious injuries.

In fact, with so much bleeding, it's not surprising that he died.

He wanted to figure out what caused the changes.

It can't be that because this room can only accommodate seven people, he died the moment he came in, right?

What is the will of seven?

Bai Yu examined the body, then took a package from the other person and found the ID.

"Investigator Xuantiansi."
