Chapter 34: Recognizing a Master

Su Mian's countdown stopped at five minutes. She sat down slowly, staring into the distance, lost in thought.

She guessed right; there were only five questions.

If someone had answered two questions in a row just now, it proved that someone would definitely have to accept the punishment of the countdown ending.

Su Mian could only be glad that she had answered one question correctly.

As for the rest, she wasn't a saint and didn't want to pursue it; she could only sigh to herself that this bizarre Infinite Flow world was truly cold-blooded and cruel.

Now, she had no extra emotions other than exhaustion. Ever since she picked up the dagger and stabbed that hypocritical piece of trash, she had gradually begun to adapt to this place.

Survive.

Let everything else be like floating clouds, let them be blown away by the wind.

She bent down to pick up her coat from the floor, patted off the dust, and prepared to return to the unified dormitory to use sleep to numb her tense nerves.

However, the moment she turned around, the corner of her eye caught the wheelchair at the door; it was actually still there.

Qiu Du Zi sat quietly there, as if waiting for something, and when it discovered she was looking over, another note was stuck to the window.

"Human, I like you."

?!

What is going on?

Su Mian didn't know what expression to make for a moment; her tired brain cleared up quite a bit.

She stared stiffly at the note; the handwriting was messier than before, and everything was so absurd that she had the urge to back away.

The wheelchair seemed to sense her confusion, moved forward slightly, made a faint "rumble" sound, and then carefully stuck another note on it.

"You're tired. Shall I take you back to sleep?"

Su Mian felt a bit creeped out.

She wasn't sure if it would just charge in and crush her to death if she refused.

Just thinking about this scene made her feel very strange.

【Mian Mian, it has no malicious intent; it's probably trying to recognize you as its master.】

"Recognize me as its master?" Su Mian asked suspiciously, staring at the wheelchair at the door that was fidgeting and sliding back and forth; her eyelid twitched.

【Yes, but Qiu Du Zi is quite picky about its master. Recognizing a master is a once-in-a-millennium event; Mian Mian, don't miss out!】

"What are the benefits?"

【Its combat power is very strong, otherwise it wouldn't participate in random level events. And Mian Mian, aren't you afraid of being tired? Just treat it as a fully automatic wheelchair; killing two birds with one stone, wouldn't that be awesome!】

4399 was counting its chickens before they hatched, and Su Mian found it somewhat amusing.

She placed her hand on the doorknob and, after a moment of hesitation, opened the door.

Although it still felt a bit bizarre, the condition of having strong combat power was too tempting.

In this place where one could die at any time, naturally, the more conditions for self-preservation, the better.

The wheelchair spun around excitedly. Su Mian did a little psychological preparation for herself and then sat on it.

There was a cushion on the wheelchair that wrapped around her entire buttocks, and her thighs were also at a very comfortable angle.

She stepped on the pedals, and Qiu Du Zi backed up two steps before charging forward, reaching the elevator entrance in one go.

A sticky note was stuck to the back of her hand, which read, "Is it too fast?"

Su Mian shook her head, only then noticing that the pocket behind the wheelchair was full of various notes and sticky notes.

There were hearts, five-pointed stars, and various animated doodles; it was inexplicably cute.

Su Mian finally lost her misgivings, and was almost lulled to sleep by the comfort during the "transportation" process; it wasn't until Qiu Du Zi bumped into the door that she was woken up.

After saying goodbye to Qiu Du Zi, Su Mian dove into her bedsheets and had a dreamless night.

––

"Zhou Ruochuan is dead."

The clinic was silent. Everyone knew that Su Mian's guess yesterday was correct, and that someone had answered two questions.

However, no one asked whose responsibility it was, because that newcomer had no utility value; dead was dead.

The new "Zhou Ruochuan" seemed to be a newcomer, looking timid, keeping his head down the whole time and not liking to talk.

Wang Zeyu stood in front of the whiteboard, stuck two photos on it, and pointed to one of them.

"This one is the award list of Fushan University; from here, we can know Yang Xuan's appearance."

"Wait."

Zhang Shuo Zhi suddenly put down his pancake and wiped his mouth. "I've seen him."

Wang Yuxuan: "When? Where?"

Zhang Shuo Zhi: "Around seven or eight o'clock on the day of the incident. I saw him on the 21st floor, acting all sneaky, heading towards the Pathology Department."

"Could it be that he went to the dissection room?"

Su Mian spoke suddenly, and everyone looked at her.

Chen Mo rubbed her chin with her fingers. "You mean... he used your signature?"

Su Mian nodded, thinking from her perspective.

She hadn't entered the dissection room that day, but her name was on the entry form, which was very strange.

Only one thing made sense: someone used her name to enter the dissection room, and this person knew she had the habit of dissecting.

It's just that... how did Yang Xuan find out? And how did he get the card to go to the dissection room?

Wang Yuxuan: "There's another photo, a group photo of the deceased and Zhou Ruochuan."

"And we found Yang Xuan's information in the archives, but his medical record was blurred; we don't know what he came to the hospital for."

He shifted his gaze to the boy who had little presence.

"Please explain what your relationship is, and also, where were you during the time before he jumped off the building, instead of staying at the medicine pickup window?"

Zhou Ruochuan was startled. He slowly raised his head and took a long time before explaining.

"He... his parents and my parents are friends."

"His personality is quite strange; sometimes he loves to talk, and sometimes he's particularly irritable. Anyway, no one could stand him except me."

"That day, he suddenly called me and asked me to find him on the 21st floor, saying something like... he wanted me to keep watch for him."

Zhou Ruochuan spoke slowly, but fortunately, he poured out all the information he knew. "He also has an older brother named Yang Qi."

At the mention of this sentence, the eyes of the whole room gathered there.

Chen Mo: "I remember Yang Qi interned at the hospital two years ago, and..."

Her voice paused. "I even pursued him."

"Because his family is quite rich and his conditions are good, but he said he already had a girlfriend."

"And I never knew he had a younger brother, nor did I associate it with the top ten academic elites."

Chen Mo's gaze fell on that photo.

The Yang Qi in the script did indeed look a bit like his younger brother, which made her suddenly realize that the two of them must be brothers.

But why had she never heard Yang Qi mention it?

Su Tang silently raised her hand. "Actually, his girlfriend is me."

?!

Everyone looked at her in shock. Su Tang blinked.

"Yang Qi is indeed quite charming, but like Sister Chen, I didn't know he had a younger brother."

The clue broke here again. A file was suddenly slapped onto the long table.

Everyone looked up, not knowing when the DM had appeared behind them, or more accurately, behind Su Mian.
