Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?

Chapter 249: The Fisherman's Spring_2



Not exactly a nanny, more like a bodyguard, or perhaps a Darts Master.

However, Wen Nan didn't say that out loud, only stating, "If anything really happens, please help me, great friend. Once this is over, I promise I'll always stick with you and won't run off anymore."

This promise seemed to have quite an appeal to the other person, and after a moment of silence, the reply came, "I'll help you one last time."

"Got it, darling." Wen Nan swiftly hung up the phone, not giving the other person a chance to change their mind.

...

...

Leaving the Plum Garden, Wen Nan walked straight towards Lover's Hill.

Taking advantage of the empty surroundings, Wen Nan quietly crossed the warning line and navigated through familiar terrain to a hidden thicket.

Stopping by some scattered stones, Wen Nan squatted down to examine them carefully.

That was a small bait intentionally left by Wen Nan when embarking on the first main quest, to find his exclusive refresh point.

Now, with most of the first main quest time having passed, Wen Nan thought it was time to check if any fish had taken the bait.

Lying on the ground, Wen Nan pried open those stones and peered into that tiny hole.

Inside was pitch-black, and nothing was visible.

A sinking feeling struck Wen Nan's heart.

... Could it be an empty effort?

Wen Nan extended his hand into the tiny opening.

In an instant, golden light burst from the hole, covering Wen Nan's entire arm and flashing onto his face, causing him to squint and adapt for quite some time.

After groping around inside for a long while, he finally succeeded in grabbing a thin card from a round indentation deep within.

Got it!

There's a fish on the line!

This card, as long as it's not one of Hu Jiayao's or Yin Zhi'en's known loyalist cards, revealing the identity card of any other player is crucial.

Hu Jiayao's card is definitely in the Life Sciences Institute building, and Yin Zhi'en was previously discovered face-to-face by patrolling officers, making it impossible for them to return to insert a card.

So, as long as there's a card here, it must be an information-consuming identity card!

If it's a loyalist, he could gain an ally. If it's a traitor, he can steer clear of an enemy. If it's an assassin, it basically means the opponent is out.

This wave, win-win and no loss.

Feeling a bit anxious, Wen Nan pulled out the card.

It was a card with golden edges, a silver-gray background, and on the back was printed a smooth-faced man, whose complexion was as white as plaster, with two thick black eyebrows standing upright, a red mark between the brows, wearing a Prime Minister's hat, and dressed in red.

This is...

Flipping the identity card over, he saw in the center, a single character—[Traitor].

A traitor card?

It's actually a traitor!

This is much more important than a loyalist card! After all, a traitor's ultimate goal is to eliminate all loyalists.

Placing the traitor card into the system for scanning, a prompt immediately sounded in his mind——

9527: [Congratulations, contestant! You've successfully found a faction card! This faction card has been determined as [Traitor], unlocking the bound information on your behalf, please wait...…]

9527: [Information unlocked, corresponding identity information is as follows——]

[Name: Wei Zhe]

[Identity: Graduate of H Vocational Technical College]

[Introduction: Although Wei Zhe is just a graduate from an ordinary vocational technical college, he is a smart person. Highly regarded by teachers, popular among classmates, and valued by school leaders.

His specialty is manipulating women.

Of course, in his eyes, those women firmly controlled in his hands are mere appendages without personality, hardly worthy of being called people since they have lost the personality they should have had, making it more accurate to say Wei Zhe prefers to call them females.

Making those females work for him, doing everything for him, while he leisurely plans in the background as a mastermind, is what Wei Zhe enjoys most and is best at.

Wei Zhe knows that lately, things have been unrestful in this city that seems no different from usual, with undercurrents surging.

These undercurrents are caused by a group of uninvited guests, each with their own motives and schemes, turning the city upside down.

He is so clear-headed because he is also one of these uninvited guests, and he considers himself the most important one.

Driving his "little bitches" to go out and gather intelligence, carefully laying out one move after another, all because Wei Zhe wants to be the one riding the waves at the highest point.

Of course, this "wave rider" has recently encountered a bit of trouble; it seems someone unwelcome has started to shadow him.

That person's strength is too weak for Wei Zhe to even bother with, just like a fly buzzing incessantly in his ear, annoying him.

But it doesn't matter, just ignoring that person will suffice since Wei Zhe, as a behind-the-scenes player, isn't worried about his whereabouts being exposed.

He is very confident in himself...]

[Faction: Traitor.]

9527: [Friendly reminder: If you properly store this faction card in the equipment spare slot, when the target bound to this card appears within a 5-meter radius of you, the system will automatically alert you to ensure you can identify their faction promptly, please be aware.]

This "Wei Zhe" is the first clear member of the evil faction Wen Nan has seen so far.

Wen Nan can confirm that he has never seen such a person before.

According to the identity introduction, this person will assign all tasks and plots to be executed by "women."

With this in mind, Wen Nan could almost confirm that the cries of the victims from the cafeteria murder case and the noises of the weaving loom echoing in Zhang Yanan's heart are all manipulated by this player named Wei Zhe.

Wei Zhe should possess a skill similar to soul threads, allowing for character manipulation, and evidently his skill is more powerful than soul threads——

The number, variety, and flexibility of the characters he controls exceed those manipulated in Erin's previous instance.

Moreover, if he can manipulate multiple characters in such a short time, the conditions required for his skill must be much simpler than those of soul threads.

Of course, this isn't the focus of the current introduction.

In the current introduction, besides the player's "black widow"-like skills and interests, what catches Wen Nan's attention is the mention of "that guy."

It seems that the "that guy" referred to in the introduction is Yang Mingzhong.

Evidently, Yang Mingzhong's continuous actions in eliminating manipulated characters have already caught the attention of this player named Wei Zhe.

It's just that Wei Zhe currently doesn't want to expose himself, nor engage directly with Yang Mingzhong.

So, when Yang Mingzhong acted so cold-bloodedly in the cafeteria to "kill" that woman, and then immediately targeted Zhang Yanan, was the real target behind these actions actually this player called Wei Zhe?

Now knowing Wei Zhe is a traitor, part of the evil faction, does this mean Yang Mingzhong belongs to the opposing side of the evil faction, the loyalists where Wen Nan, Hu Jiayao, and Yin Zhi'en are included?

If this conclusion can be drawn, then at the start, when Yang Mingzhong acted in the cafeteria, with Hu Jiayao stepping in to protect a character, Yang Mingzhong, with his intelligence, should have guessed Hu Jiayao was an ally.

Then why did Yang Mingzhong not seek out Hu Jiayao afterward? As a member of the same guild outside the instance and the same faction inside, they should be the best fit for being allies, right?

Is it because Yang Mingzhong doesn't trust Hu Jiayao and thinks it's better to act alone?

Even if that's the case, why was Yang Mingzhong so bold as to act against the girl in the cafeteria so early in this instance?
