Interactive Fiction: The Right Choice After Unemployment

Chapter 88 Sir, I Was Captive

Option two is 5.3%, option three is 68.4%, and option four is 26.3%.

……

【Option [-]】

[Let the security guard leave first, and then find an opportunity to use the "transformation" skill to knock on the door of the conference room, trick the visitor into opening the door and take the opportunity to escape]

……

【thank you very much】

Tao Tao looked at the flashing writing on the watch screen and sighed.

The message sent to the mysterious account has been sent for half an hour, and there is still no reply.

"Sure enough, you will only reply to topics related to the game..."

These days, she has been thinking about who is behind that account.

Some kind of artificial AI?Some kind of intelligent robot?Some real person?
And why do you want to help yourself?
But no matter how I thought about it, there was no result.

beep--

The sound of the venue's flute brought Tao Tao back to reality from his thoughts.

She raised her gaze and saw on the screen that the review of the final settlement was over.

Eight qualifiers have appeared.

……

[No.5 Tao Tao 284 points]

……

I have advanced.

In fact, when there is still a period of time before the final statistics, Tao Tao is probably sure.

An hour ago, Tao Tao heard a name from Guo Shuang.After that, she let the other party go as promised, and directed the bear man to jump out of the deep well.

Xiongren and Taotao galloped in the points competition field where the terrain effect disappeared and the sky re-cast sunlight.

Of course the bearman took away the blunt double-edged ax wrapped around lightning.The charged giant ax is more useful than expected.It wields its huge axe, and cuts open all monsters it meets with a devastating force.Tao Tao's points rose rapidly, and before the deadline, he had far surpassed No. 630 points.

However, the top scores vary widely.Even more exaggerated, No.1.

She looks at the screen.

……

[No.1 Xue Kai 371 points]

……

Leading No.250 points or more.

Moreover, this name is exactly what Guo Shuang told her, causing her to be stabbed by a cursed dagger and almost unable to continue to be a magister.

"The combat class's...previous results are mediocre, with only a record of entering the second round twice..."

This year it took the top spot.

how did you do that?
Tao Tao thought for a moment, but still had no idea.

"...Let's adapt accordingly. Focus on the opponent in front of you first."

She won't meet Xue Kai very soon.The rules of the quarterfinals are: No.1 duels with No.8, No.2 duels with No.7...and so on.

Therefore, Tao Tao of No.5 is going to duel with No.4.

And No.4 is...

She looked at the list of players again.

"No.4...Lin Duo?"

Another acquaintance.

The one who was about to duel with Tao Tao turned out to be the leader of the "Alliance" who tried to eliminate her in the first and second rounds.

The last runner-up, Lin Duo.

……

Tao Tao is about to face a tough battle.However, Zheng Zhuo was completely unaware of this.

He's holding his breath right now, working on an important job.

"..."

Outside a certain meeting room of Udoma College, the corridor was quiet.

Almost all the teachers and students went to the square to watch the game - even the students who didn't watch the first and second games will definitely go to the third game.

The classroom building is almost empty.

Gada, Gada.

The sound of leather shoes approaching.

One of the security guards who dragged Zheng Zhuo away and locked him into the meeting room just now came back here again.

The two of them confirmed the scene again, and after finding no information, they decided to search and patrol alternately.According to the temporary plan just now, this security guard became the first patrol member, and came back here to confirm Zheng Zhuo's condition.

However, he just approached the conference room where Zheng Zhuo was...

There was a hasty knock on the door.

dong dong!dong dong!
"Open the door! Open the door—is anyone there? Help me!"

A woman's voice came from the conference room.

How could there be a woman in the conference room where the suspect who stole the trophy was closed?The security guard suddenly felt bad, stepped forward in two steps in three steps, and opened the door lock of the conference room——

And the one leaning against the door was indeed not Zheng Zhuo, but a tall slender woman in a school worker's uniform.

"Thank you... thank you!"

"Who are you? Where is the man who was imprisoned here?"

the security guard asked in a low voice.

"I... I'm in charge of cleaning this floor today..." The woman was obviously still in shock, she said intermittently, "Just now, I walked up to see if my spare cleaner was left in the conference room... As a result, I heard a man knocking hard on the door. He said he was also a janitor, and he accidentally locked himself in when he came in to tidy up."

"I quickly opened the door and let him out... Unexpectedly, he pushed me hard, locked me in, and ran away by himself..."

what!
The suspect got away! ?

Damn it, it only took ten minutes... No one would come to this floor at this point, so it was locked here. I didn't expect a janitor to return to pick up things!Careless!
The security guard immediately raised his watch and communicated with his companions.The flustered female school worker also nodded, and quickly walked away from him.

"That kid is gone!"

While communicating quickly, the security guard called up the monitoring screen.

"He tricked a janitor into opening the door for him—quick! Look at the surveillance! He must not have run far! Just look at what happened in the past 10 minutes, outside the window and in the corridor!"

The security guard and his companions fast-forwarded to monitor and check quickly.

however.

Soon, they discover that things are not as they thought.

"……nobody……"

From the time the two security guards left until the return of one security guard, no one left the room.

The surveillance inside the room showed that the detained suspect Zheng Zhuo had entered a dead corner under the surveillance.After that, until the security guard came back, there was no one in the room. Until the security guard appeared in the corridor, the female school worker walked out from a corner and quickly came to the door and knocked on the door.

"Tricked!?"

What about the female school worker! ?
The janitor who dialed his watch rushed to the stairwell.

However, the female janitor has long since disappeared.

……

"Haha, the vocal cords can also [transform], which is really helpful."

Zheng Zhuo quickly walked through the corridor and hid in the storage room in the stairwell.His skin quickly dissolved, and his bones creaked. After a while, he became more than ten centimeters taller, and his shoulders became wider and wider.

"Fortunately, there are photos of health officials posted in the conference room. Otherwise..."

His voice was also getting deeper and deeper, and soon, it was even lower than his original voice.

"...I really don't know who I should become."

When Zheng Zhuo raised his head again, he turned into the security guard who just opened the door for him.

"Fortunately, the inner lining of the clothes of the security guard and the janitor is the same."

Zheng Zhuo quickly left along the stairs: he didn't know if the security guards had frozen his janitor card, and he didn't want to take the risk of trying.

"Before they find out...the security room is quite close."

Probably because the Magic Academy is so big, there are more than one security room in the teaching building.Zheng Zhuo called out the map in his watch for the janitor's reference, and quickly found the nearest security room.

He got there as fast as he could.No one noticed him—they were all looking at the screen nervously on their watches, and communicating.

"(excuse me……)"

Zheng Zhuo quietly took off an idle vest for security guards from the hanger at the side, and took off the hat for security guards and put it on his head.

The body shape of the security guard he transformed into was relatively standard.In this way, as long as he does not look directly at the surveillance, it will be difficult to distinguish him from other security guards.

"(OK. So...)"

Time to slip.

Zheng Zhuo stepped forward——

at this time.

"...The trophy is definitely..."

"Yes."

"...Check over there..."

"Yes... Rusha... I have a clue!"

He vaguely heard the anxious communication of those security guards.

They're talking about stolen trophies!Moreover, it seems that something has been discovered!
Do you want to stay and listen?

Zheng Zhuo was shaken for a moment.

No, it's a little dangerous, right?There is surveillance here, if the two security guards saw my whereabouts and chased me, it would be very dangerous.

I also have a map in my hand, so I can see the scene by myself.

In terms of time, they found the internal signal immediately, and then they came to me.It hadn't been long since the incident.Going to see the scene now, there should still be many clues, and the tracking can catch up.

but……

He looked at his security uniform.

It's not safe to become a security guard.Do you want to change into other clothes?For example, engineers...

However, that would definitely take time.If the other party transfers the trophy out of the school, many things will become difficult: I only have the map of the school, and I have only stepped on the school, and I know nothing about the outside of the school.

Well, the problem is coming.
