Forced to take the love route by a scumbag villain

"You didn't do it..." Wen Rulan's expression became serious: "Who could that be?"

After asking this question, he suddenly had another guess. He looked up at Meng Xing's eyes and got the same answer from his eyes.

"Wu Jin?" Wen Rulan said the name.

"I don't know..." Meng Xingyu frowned: "I saw him near the ring before, but before Jian Wenhong and the others activated the mental interference device, he had already left. He had time to do it, but. …”

There is no evidence for that.

Wen Rulan understood what Meng Xing meant. Not only did they have no evidence, neither did Jian Wenhong and Cheng Peng. They didn't even have any doubts about Wu Jin, and they were probably still confused and infighting about why the plan failed.

"If Wu Jin did it, then he is too strange. His so-called motives can't support him to take such a big risk to do all this." Wen Rulan pondered.

Meng Xing nodded in agreement, and added: "And I just..."

He wanted to say that just now he suddenly realized that he could not remember Wu Jin's appearance at all, but he heard footsteps from far to near, so he stopped talking.

He and Meng Xing looked behind together, and there was an employee working in the Upper Council walking towards them.

"Mr. Wen, I finally found you." The employee breathed a sigh of relief: "The duel is over. I still need to trouble you to stay here for a while. The upper council has some matters to hand over to you."

Wen Rulan is the winner of this duel, so he is the next leader of psychics. Maybe it doesn’t even need to be said that he is the next one. After all, S-class psychics should have taken over the position of leader when they reached adulthood at the age of eighteen. .

This time, because there were two S-level psychics, it had been postponed for so many years. Now that the winner was finally decided, Wen Rulan should naturally take office immediately.

This is also the meaning of the upper council, to hand over the affairs at hand to Wen Rulan as soon as possible.Although both Jian Wenhong and Yan Desheng were very unwilling to let Wen Rulan take over, but the rules are here, and there are three other members of the Upper Council, their ideas can't control the situation.

So when the news of Wen Rulan's victory was spreading to the whole world through the live broadcast network, the employee responsible for taking Wen Rulan to the handover came to him.

Wen Rulan understood the purpose of this employee's visit and also knew that this was a necessary procedure, so he nodded and agreed.

The employee led the way. Wen Rulan and Meng Xing followed behind him. They left the basement floor and came to the fifth floor where Jian Wenhong's office was located.

In addition to the offices of several upper council members, there are actually several vacant rooms on this floor, one of which is reserved for the future spiritual leader, that is, Wen Rulan's.

This employee was very conscientious, and helped Wen Rulan set up the fingerprint password of the office door lock, and brought a stack of documents for Wen Rulan to confirm and sign one by one.

Wen Rulan read the instructions on the document line by line, while Meng Xing waited quietly beside him. Although he still had something to say to Wen Rulan, he was not in a hurry.

This pile of documents is not too much, and half an hour is enough to finish it. He can discuss Wu Jin's matter with Wen Rulan slowly on the way home.

Meng Xing's prediction was correct. Wen Rulan signed her name on the last document, and only twenty-five minutes had passed.

With a "click", Wen Rulan closed the cap of the pen.The duel that started at eight o'clock, the time of the game plus the time for Wen Rulan to process the files, was just in the early nine o'clock.

Although the rest of them left after the game, it wasn't too long to work overtime.

While packing up the signed documents, the employee said politely: "The rest of the handover procedures will be carried out tomorrow, and we will be here tonight. Please excuse me, Mr. Wen. I will help you contact the driver to take you back. ..”

Before he finished speaking, his field of vision suddenly fell into darkness where he could not see his fingers.

The sudden darkness immediately touched Meng Xing's tense nerves. He reacted immediately. Unable to see in the darkness, he relied on the memory before losing his vision and put his arms around Wen Rulan's shoulders. He held the other person tightly. Protecting her tightly in her arms, she was alert to any unusual movements in the darkness.

However, there was no change, only employees who muttered "it seems that the power has gone out".

The heavy darkness was broken by the bright light on the mobile phone screen. While dialing the number, the employee apologized to Wen Rulan: "Mr. Wen, wait a moment, there may be a problem with the power supply system. I will contact you to see what's going on. I'll contact you immediately." I’ll call a taxi for you.”

As he spoke, he pressed the dial button, and a "beep" sound came from the handset of his mobile phone. Then, it was not the human voice being answered, but a busy signal indicating that he was not in the service area.

"Strange..." The employee muttered again, and he changed the number again, but it was busy again. He still didn't realize the problem, and was about to dial the number for the third time.

Wen Rulan stopped him: "Don't call, there is no signal here."

He also took out his mobile phone. The communication signal that should have been full in the urban area disappeared at this moment. It wasn't the employee who couldn't get through, but everyone in the area couldn't get through. There was a problem with the communication signal.

And... Wen Rulan turned her head and looked to her side again. The floor-to-ceiling window with the curtains not drawn was as dark as this place. The city that should have been brightly lit seemed to be covered with a black curtain. At this moment Only darkness remains.

The power outage was not limited to the clock tower, but the entire city.

After being reminded by Wen Rulan, the employee discovered that there was no signal on his mobile phone and that there was a power outage in the city. He quickly apologized and said, "Mr. Wen, please sit here for now. I'll go downstairs to see what's going on."

"En." Wen Rulan responded.

The employee turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and went downstairs in the dark.

There were only two people left in the office. Although Wen Rulan's mobile phone screen was also on, this weak light could not dispel the huge darkness that shrouded the entire city.

And inexplicably, after no one spoke, this otherwise ordinary office seemed eerie for no reason.This gloom not only pervades the office, but also the dark city outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Electricity has penetrated into every part of human life and maintained the normal operation of the city. If the power supply suddenly stopped, it was like the heart of a giant beast had stopped beating, and the entire city came to a standstill, exuding a groggy feeling of death.

If such a large-scale power outage and signal interruption were normal, Wen Rulan would be able to deal with it calmly, but tonight, on this unknown date...

His heartbeat accelerated due to nervousness, and he couldn't help but reach out and hold Meng Xing's hand. The ferret's performance was more obvious. It disobeyed Meng Xing's previous instructions not to leave its body, jumped directly onto Meng Xing's shoulder, and huddled uneasily.

Meng Xing understood why Wen Rulan was like this, so he comforted him: "It's nothing, it should just be a power outage."

While comforting him, he also touched the down on the ferret's back that was locked on his shoulder with one hand, and firmly held Wen Rulan's fingers with the other hand, spreading his body temperature and determination through the palms of his hands. Pass it to the other party.

With Meng Xing by his side in the darkness, it didn't seem so eerie anymore, and Wen Rulan felt a little calmer.

Such silence and darkness did not last long. The employee who went downstairs to check soon came back. At the same time as he came back, the light on the top of the office flickered twice before the lighting was restored.

Light always brings people a sense of security. Wen Rulan's hanging heart couldn't help but relax a little more, but he did not let go of Meng Xing's hand, still holding the other party tightly.

Meng Xing didn't refuse, and let him hold it like this.

The employees did not notice that the hands of Mr. Wen and his assistant were holding together abnormally. After going back and forth, there was no elevator, and he was sweating. At this moment, he was wiping the sweat while panting and reporting: "Wen Sir, I'm sorry. It seems that a typhoon is coming. When it makes landfall, it blows down the signal towers and power supply facilities in this area of ​​the city. The government is already repairing them, but it will take some time. The electricity currently used is the backup power from the clock tower. The power generation facilities have limited power generation, so I asked them to give priority to your office. Other rooms and corridors are not yet powered."

"As for the communication... there is nothing we can do. We can't contact the driver for the time being, and the entire urban area is cut off, and the traffic lights can't be displayed normally. It's not safe for you to go back now, or you should go back to the city first." Waiting in the office?" The employee suggested.

"Just stay here for now." Wen Rulan agreed.

"Okay. Mr. Wen, I will go downstairs to check on the situation. I will report back to you immediately if there is any new information." The employee went downstairs again and left after getting Wen Rulan's consent.

Once again, there were only two people left in the office. Although the lights were on, the city that had lost its vitality still seemed too silent.

Wen Rulan is not a person who likes to make noise, but at the moment he hates this kind of silence, so he took the initiative to ask, "What were you trying to tell me before?"

It was only when Meng Xing was reminded that he remembered what he wanted to say before, and he told Wen Rulan the discovery that he could not remember Wu Jin's appearance at all.

Wen Rulan also tried to recall Wu Jin's appearance. He also couldn't remember any of the other's facial features, but this was normal. After all, he hadn't met Wu Jin a few times in total, and he hadn't paid special attention to him. appearance.

But Meng Xing said so, and he chose to believe Meng Xing's judgment. There was definitely something wrong with this person.

"What are you going to do?" Wen Rulan asked.

"I..." Meng Xing hesitated for a moment, he wanted to go to the negative second floor to find out if the mind-directed interference device was actually Wu Jindong's hands and feet.But... Except for this office, the power supply has not been restored in the corridors of other rooms. There may be unexpected dangers hidden in the darkness. Meng Xing can't leave Wen Rulan, let alone take Wen Rulan to take risks.

So he replied: "Ignore him for now. Even if it is his tricks, he is still helping you. Since he has not shown any hostility, we don't need to pay too much attention to him."

"The focus right now is..." Meng Xing glanced at the time on the phone: "21:59, there are two hours and one minute left..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a dull bell.This is the tradition of this bell tower, and the dull and distant bell will ring every hour.

In other words, there is not a minute left, there are still two full hours.

As long as he survives these last two hours, Wen Rulan can get rid of this destined death period, and Meng Xing can also successfully pass the level.

Just get through these last two hours.

The two of them didn't talk anymore, simply waiting is very torturous, so Wen Rulan found something for herself to do.

In addition to the documents that the employee had given him before, this office prepared for S-level mental power users also stored other important information, so Wen Rulan randomly found a few books and browsed through them.

He relieved his tension and uneasiness by devoting himself to official duties, which had some effect. The ferret lying on Meng Xing's shoulder was no longer uneasy. Although he still held Meng Xing tightly with his paws, Ken let go.

Meng Xing, on the other hand, became more and more anxious. He said to leave Wu Jin alone for the time being, but in his heart, he was thinking about him all the time.

He cares about Woo Jin a lot, very much.This person has simply become a thorn in his heart, making him restless.

Although all Wu Jin's actions so far were to help them, he just...perhaps had some intuition, he felt that this person was very dangerous and would never be a companion on the same journey with them.

The dull and distant bell rang again, and amidst Meng Xing's growing anxiety, the hour hand crossed 11 o'clock.

There's still an hour left.

Even though Meng Xing's anxiety was so severe that he couldn't sit still, he never thought about leaving Wen Rulan to find out the truth, until the system that had been silent for a long time suddenly made a sound in his mind.

"Ding dong, the player triggered the side mission to find out the truth about the tampering of the mental power directional jamming device."

This is the second time the system has released a side mission. Meng Xing was stunned for a moment, and then wanted to refuse. He had to stay by Wen Rulan's side to protect her...

But before he refused, he saw the additional instructions at the end of the mission: "The rewards for completing the mission are rich, and players can immediately receive an SR-level protective barrier card as a reward after accepting the mission. The card effects are as follows: The barrier is placed within a diameter of three meters to form an invisible protective barrier with defense level S, which can resist all attacks in the current world, including mental attacks or thermal weapon attacks."

This is like giving a pillow when you are sleepy. This defensive card is what Meng Xing needs most right now, but the condition for obtaining it is that he must accept this side mission.

In other words, he had to leave Wen Rulan.

This side quest attracted Meng Xing both in terms of rewards and the quest itself. He had always wanted to find out the truth, but he was asked to leave Wen Rulan. He had promised that he would never leave...Meng Xing fell into hesitation.

"What's wrong?" Wen Rulan's questioning voice suddenly came from the quiet room.

Although he was reading the official document, his attention was always reserved for Meng Xing. He saw the hesitation on Meng Xing's face, so he asked aloud.

Meng Xing took a look at Wen Rulan, hesitated for a moment, and said about the system's release of side missions.

In fact, from a purely rational point of view, Meng Xing's acceptance of this mission to find out the truth is far more useful than staying here. After all, he is just a mortal, made of flesh and blood. What can he do if he stays next to Wen Rulan? The protection this SR-level protective barrier card can provide is far greater than him.

However, rather than choosing this SR-level protective barrier card, Wen Rulan probably wanted Meng Xing to stay here with him. Meng Xing speculated on Wen Rulan's thoughts, which was based on his understanding of Wen Rulan.

Wen Rulan really thought so too, but he said: "Go and check."

He could see Meng Xing's hesitation, and he could also see his restless anxiety.

so......

"With the protection of this SR-level card, it will be fine." Wen Rulan said innocently: "You can go and check to make sure there is nothing wrong with Wu Jin."

While talking, the ferret jumped off Meng Xing's shoulder, returned to its owner, and then looked at Meng Xing with its owner.

Wen Rulan had already shown such a firm attitude that Meng Xing did not refuse. He accepted this side mission and then used this SR-level protective barrier card.

He tried it himself again. With Wen Rulan as the center, there were indeed more invisible but tangible protective barriers. Meng Xing was blocked by the barriers, and he punched the barriers hard, not to mention cracks in the barriers. , without even the slightest tremor, as solid as a mountain that has stood for thousands of years.

After testing the barrier's defensive power, Meng Xing gave another careful warning: "The protective range of this barrier is three meters. No matter what happens, don't leave here."

Wen Rulan nodded and agreed.

Meng Xing stopped hesitating and turned around to leave.Wen Rulan and the ferret looked at his back together, and saw Meng Xing suddenly stopped before leaving the door.

"I'll be back soon." He said with his back to Wen Rulan.

Wen Rulan froze for a moment, then bent her lips: "Well, I'll wait for you."

Meng Xing really left this time. After leaving Wen Rulan's office, he started running. He wanted to finish the investigation as soon as possible, and then return to Wen Rulan's side.

In just over a minute, he arrived at the negative second floor.

Although there were still employees on duty and debugging the power generation equipment inside the clock tower, they were all concentrated on the basement floor and the ground, so when Meng woke up and went to the basement floor, there was no one there.

Meng Xing didn't go to the warehouse with the directional interference device for mental force, instead he went directly to the monitoring room on the second floor.

He had studied the building and knew that the second floor was a warehouse for storing data, so each warehouse was equipped with surveillance cameras.

Meng Xing is not a policeman, nor does he have professional evidence collection equipment. It is impossible for him to infer who did it from the clues left around the mind-directed interference device, but as long as he checks the surveillance, the answer will be clear.

Now, although there is a power outage, and the backup generator in the clock tower cannot supply power to the entire clock tower, there is always a priority for power supply, and the lighting for employees is secondary. This kind of monitoring for security is the most important thing. The echelon that needs to restore power first, so the monitoring room is powered at this moment.

Meng Xing went straight to the control room and retrieved the camera records of the B04 warehouse equipped with a mental directional interference device.

But when he retrieved it, he found that the camera record was damaged.

Not all the records are damaged, only the camera record in room b04 is damaged.

Meng Xing smashed the wall with some annoyance. It seemed that the other party was very cautious and went so far as to destroy the camera record.

Therefore, he probably couldn't find anything. As mentioned before, it was impossible for him to deduce from the clues left behind whether it was Wu Jin's hand.

Just when Meng Xing thought his mission had failed, the system spoke again: "The player has obtained an SR-level card, an electronic record repair card."

Electronic record repair card?

Meng Xing didn't know for a moment whether he should be surprised that the card given by the system was so appropriate, or surprised that the system gave him the card on his own initiative.

But whether he is surprised or not is not the most important thing. The important thing is that he can finally know the truth.

Meng Xing immediately used the newly obtained SR card and saw that the record damaged prompt on the display screen disappeared, replaced by the surveillance screen in the B04 warehouse.

Meng Xing recalled the time, and dragged the time of checking the monitoring to the time when Wu Jin left his sight, which was around 20:30.

At 20:30, there was no one on the surveillance video, only a piano-sized interference device standing quietly in the middle of the warehouse.

But at 20:35, someone came.

The surveillance angle was limited. Meng Xing could only hear the footsteps approaching the warehouse, but could not see the other person's appearance.

As the footsteps got closer, Meng Xing couldn't help but hold his breath, and stared at the screen without blinking. Finally, the visitor was completely exposed to the surveillance.

It's really Woo Jin!

Meng Xing's guess was verified, he suppressed his excitement and continued to read.

Wu Jin under surveillance no longer looked like he always had his head lowered and was submissive in front of others. He looked straight ahead, and his walking posture was not at all nervous or uneasy because of the risk of sneaking in. Instead, he was full of casualness, as if He didn't care at all about the danger of being discovered.

There is still a slight smile on the corner of his lips, it is hard to tell whether he is smiling, or the corners of his lips are naturally raised, even though his face is expressionless, it seems to be smiling kindly.

When Meng Xing saw Wu Jin's completely different expression, the dizzy headache came again, and it was stronger than every time before. It was so strong that it was difficult for him to stand still.

There was a sound of the seat being pushed and moved, and Meng Xing fell to the seat in front of the monitoring screen. He shook his head vigorously, holding on to Qingming, and continued to watch the screen on the monitor.

Wu Jin walked to the interference device and stood still, he sighed helplessly: "Obviously I have given so many hints, but I still want to do it myself."

As he spoke, he shook his head, as if he disliked the other party's stupidity.

However, he was disgusted, so he still operated the interference device. After modifying the interference object, he showed a satisfied smile, and even hummed an unknown tune in a happy mood.

He hummed a little tune and turned to leave, but before leaving, he suddenly paused. He looked up and finally noticed the camera hidden in the corner of the warehouse roof.

He smiled at the camera, and then cracks in the glass appeared on the screen. The screen was frozen here, and Wu Jin's face was also frozen in front of Meng Xing.

This was the last scene before the camera was destroyed. Wu Jin looked directly at the camera. At this moment, it seemed that he was looking directly at Meng Xing who was sitting behind the surveillance screen.

Meng Xing had a splitting headache, but he did not look away. He stared at Wu Jin behind the screen, wanting to see through the other person's false pretense and see the other person's true nature.

Meng Xing did nothing, but the system's profile suddenly popped up in front of him. Wu Jin's ID was still Wu Jin, and the profile was still the same unremarkable profile.

But along with that increasingly intense headache, the system began to flash the snowflake screen again.

And in the brief introduction of Xue Huaping and Wu Jin's ordinary appearance, there seems to be some other pictures mixed in.Meng Xing couldn't see clearly, the screen flashed too fast, his head was hurting and dizzy, as if the world was spinning, he couldn't even maintain his balance, his whole body was shaking.

Meng Xing fought against this headache, he had vaguely touched the threshold of the truth, only the last step... the last step...

Finally, in the short but long pain, as if he finally found the exit in the dark corridor, Meng Xing broke through the fog that had been deceiving him.

The flickering picture was frozen again. The cracked surveillance picture still showed a smiling man, but it was no longer the ordinary-looking Wu Jin.

He had a handsome appearance, and his facial features were as perfect as if they had been measured with a ruler.

His name is not Wu Jin, his name is Wu Jin.

Emberless Vision's... Emberless!

The character introduction followed his appearance and revealed his true appearance. Meng Xing finally knew the identity of the other party. This was the giant python in the dream outside the realm! It is a monster born in the Ember Vision and the carrier of all negative and dark forces in the world!

At the same moment when the truth was revealed, the system interface suddenly began to flash dangerous red.

"Warning! Warning!" The reddened system interface uttered a rapid alarm tone.

Meng Xing has encountered fatal dangers before, such as bullets and cold arrows, and the system only issued a small warning under the attribute bar. There has never been such a warning that the entire interface is completely red.Because Wuzhu's level of danger was unprecedented, far from being comparable to bullets and arrows.

While the system was warning, it also changed the only main line for the first time.

"Main quest correction..."

"Add a second main line..."

"Execution... Wuxin!"
