Chapter 268: So It Was You... Gasoline!

In the brightly lit room, the old man smoothed out the crumpled paper ball, and his pair of turbid eyes saw the content inside, first confused.

Then he was shocked by the content inside.

"Actually... a diary?"

He put on his reading glasses and studied it word by word, his mouth never idle, and the mosquito-like sound echoed in his ears.

Until he finished reading one sheet, he stood up to loosen his muscles and joints.

Then he sat on the solid wood sofa and continued to study the next one.

Soon, he finished reading the content of these two diary pages, observing the connection between the two.

Judging from the literal meaning, these two sheets came from the same person.

The yellowed paper also showed that the age was long ago, and the dates on it were not wrong.

It's just that he was curious why that young man could get such ancient things?

Thinking of this, he subconsciously summoned the 2D map to observe the traces of light spots on the panel.

Compared to noon, the quantity had clearly decreased.

The red light spots were still four, but the blue light spots only remained seven.

Most were gathered in the auditorium, and only two or three were wandering outside.

"Hmm?" The old man noticed one of the blue light spots was exceptionally close to him.

The distance shortened under his gaze, about to meet him.

The old man was shocked in his heart, just as he turned his head, he heard a knocking sound outside the door.

"Thump thump!"

The sudden movement scared him so much his soul nearly flew away.

Subconsciously hiding the paper in the drawer, he cleared his throat and shouted: "What's the matter?"

"Grandpa, I lost something, did you see it?"

"What thing?"

"Two sheets of paper.."

"Didn't see it."

"Alright then, I'll look for it again."

After saying this, the footsteps gradually moved away.

The old man looked toward the window, uncertain, and the figure just now perfectly overlapped with the blue spot position on the map.

In other words, the owner of the paper ball was a treasure hunter!

Thinking of this, the old man watched the light spot move until the other party entered a dormitory.

"So you are Su Yuan..."

The old man suddenly realized, recalling what happened at noon, but his heart was puzzled why he could still be safe and sound.

Could it be that Dong Ya couldn't catch his leverage?

But he had already said everything to that point, and even submitted the record sheet.

Still couldn't nail him completely?

"What exactly are the Guardians doing? Being played like monkeys?"

The old man frowned unhappily, looking at the red spot at a close distance, and made a decision.

Then he took out a large bunch of keys and walked out of the house slowly.

Arriving in the corridor, the students fetching water saw him and greeted him one after another.

"Nothing much, go to sleep early, don't wander around outside; teachers will come to check the rooms today," the old man said.

After saying this, he turned and walked toward the stairs.

Not long after, a figure appeared behind him, watching him leave.

Then he quietly opened the dormitory manager's room door and checked every corner.

Until he pulled open the drawer and discovered two familiar yellowed sheets of paper.

He picked them up to examine, looking at the familiar content, and smiled with relief,

"Sure enough, it was you..."

Su Yang fiddled with them twice and put them back in place; he left lightly and conveniently took the strong flashlight on the table.

On the way back, he recalled the coincidences and anomalies that happened at noon today.

The dormitory manager reported the news of the absent student in the first instance, which clearly didn't conform to common sense.

Furthermore, Dong Ya knew in advance that someone would go to the back mountain, yet she patrolled the school aimlessly.

After learning the news, she rushed to the infirmary without stopping.

Only a few minutes passed in between.

With such fast speed, he didn't believe there wasn't an insider in the dormitory.

So he placed his target on this seemingly inconspicuous old man.

Sure enough, he took the bait with just a small trick.

"Not yet time for room check, who is he going upstairs to find?" Su Yang lay on the bed, his eyes showing confusion.

"Su Yuan, aren't you going to wash up? The hot water will stop soon," Ruan Ziliang shook his elegant bangs and reminded him.

Su Yang stood up to collect his clothes outside, and borrowing the moonlight, his gaze suddenly caught a figure.

"Hmm?"

Looking closely, he saw this person's figure looked familiar.

But when walking, the left half of his body was somewhat unnatural, appearing as high-low shoulders.

"What are you looking at?" Ruan Ziliang looked in the direction of his gaze, then was stunned,

"Isn't that Tang Hui? What is he doing outside in the middle of the night?"

Is it him?

Su Yang's heart was even more puzzled, and he asked: "See clearly? Are you sure it's him?"

"Of course, my eyesight is good," Ruan Ziliang took the toothbrush cup to fill with water.

Su Yang turned to look at the clock and discovered it was 9:38 PM.

Less than half an hour remained until "Eternal Night" began.

Running out at this time... it's either adultery or theft.

It's just that, not long ago he was stabbed by Li Zhangge.

Running around while seriously injured, isn't he afraid of running into treasure hunters on the road?

Thinking of this, Su Yang couldn't help but place his doubts on the old man.

"Which floor does Tang Hui live on?"

"He's a transfer student; there are no beds assigned on the first floor, it seems to be the fifth floor," Ruan Ziliang said vaguely while brushing his teeth.

"Also in this building?"

"Mmhmm."

Su Yang understood in his heart, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

It seems he was right; the old man was not only a Guardian but also had a talent for finding players.

The other party found Tang Hui the first time he saw the diary content, and the latter ran toward the back mountain with injuries.

This action couldn't help but remind him of "sacrifice."

"Finish it early, teachers will come to the dormitory to check tonight," Ruan Ziliang shook the water off his toothbrush and put it back in place.

"Will the head teacher come?"

"The head teachers of each class should come, and the grade director will likely come too."

Speaking of this, Ruan Ziliang reminded: "Don't run around tonight; if you get caught again this time, there won't be any good fruit to eat."

"I have a count in my heart," Su Yang replied casually.

Until Tang Hui's figure completely disappeared into the night, Su Yang took his clothes and went to take a hot shower.

When he came out, it was already 9:50 PM.

"Time to gather."

Su Yang tidied up his bed, picked up his flashlight, and walked out.

Small woods in front of the auditorium

Qin Weiyang and Li Zhangge had already met, and both had prepared the necessary supplies.

"Creak—"

Listening to the crisp sound constantly coming from the side, Qin Weiyang frowned, unable to help but say: "Keep the noise down."

"Want some?" Li Zhangge handed over a pack of dry noodles.

"I don't eat snacks," Qin Weiyang only glanced at it and retracted her gaze.

"This thing fills you up; I have to eat something before fighting, otherwise I always feel like something is missing," Li Zhangge said.

At this time, he noticed the white plastic bucket she brought, curious: "What is this?"

"Gasoline."

Li Zhangge nearly sprayed out upon hearing this, surprised: "What are you doing with this thing?"

"Su Yang asked me to find flammable materials, so I brought it," Qin Weiyang said as a matter of course. ===== CHAPTER 269 =====
