silence.

Silence, is today's classroom office.

After Jiang Xiuxiu blurted out that sentence, one person and one BOSS looked at each other, and the whole room fell into an awkward silence.

Outside the house, Teacher Wang was still slamming the door with great effort, bang, bang, bang, very rhythmic.

Jiang Xiuxiu could swear with her life. From the moment she entered the game, this was the first time she saw such a complicated look on Xu Bai's face.

Surprised, confused, puzzled, and with a hint of elusive interest.

"You really... surprise me."

After a while, Xu Bai said slowly.

He looked at Jiang Xiuxiu thoughtfully, as if he knew her for the first time.

Jiang Xiuxiu: "...Thank you for the compliment?"

She took it that Xu Bai was complimenting herself.

After he finished speaking, Jiang Xiuxiu couldn't stand the enchanted atmosphere and got up from the ground.

She was lying down, expecting Teacher Wang to give her a good time, but since the boss Xu Bai had offered to help her, she felt that she could still save her.

Think about it, you can earn 10,000 more by living one more day.

After the two of them finished talking, the door of the classroom office was finally shattered under Teacher Wang's violent hammering.

Carrying an axe, Teacher Wang stepped over the wooden debris and strode in.

Jiang Xiuxiu looked over and saw that his expression was quite terrifying. His eyes were all white, and the bright red bloodshots on it were dense like twisted worms, and the eyeballs were almost squeezed out of their sockets.

When he was in the classroom office before, although he looked weird, he could still be seen to be sensible.

But now, Jiang Xiuxiu looked at his hideous face and couldn't tell whether this person was a human or a ghost.

How could he become like this, it's only been one night...

"It's blood jade." Xu Bai said suddenly.

Seemingly seeing Jiang Xiuxiu's confusion, he lowered his eyes and smiled gently at her.

"He has a blood jade in his hand," he said, "that jade is an evil object nourished by evil spirits. It has some kind of maddening ability. As long as people touch it, they will be affected by it, and the surrounding people will be affected by it. Everyone is mistaken for a devil, a monster, and over time, he becomes a machine that can only kill."

"It should have been buried in the grounds of the academy and sealed by the academy's formation. I don't know what happened, but it was dug up again." He sighed at the end.

Jiang Xiuxiu heard this, looked at Teacher Wang in front of him, and thought of the massacre that he had investigated in the morning.

What Xu Bai said coincided with her previous guess.

But is it really so?

Speaking of which, on the date of "August 13", Jiang Xiuxiu also heard about it from Xu Bai at the very beginning.

Could it be that he was intentionally directing himself to discover the murder case?

After thinking about all this, Jiang Xiuxiu calmed down instantly.

She looked up at the young man behind her, and her expression became serious.

"What do you want me to do?" she asked.

He tried to rescue her twice in a row, gave her intentional guidance, and even disclosed all these important information to her... Jiang Xiuxiu didn't think that BOSS would have such kindness.

I don't know why he chose himself, but he must have intentions to do so.

And now, he no longer hides his purpose.

At this time, Teacher Wang had already carried an axe and walked in front of them.

He stared at Jiang Xiuxiu, his face twisted with a look of extreme excitement.

"Go to hell... the devil... go to die... die for me!"

Teacher Wang roared loudly, swung his axe high, and smashed it down towards the two of them!

However, just as the axe was about to hit Jiang Xiuxiu, Xu Bai stretched out his hand—

He stretched out a finger and easily touched the tip of the axe.

Seeing this, Teacher Wang was furious and pulled out his axe to start the attack again.

The next second, Xu Bai's figure flashed and appeared behind Teacher Wang.

Compared with the angry and clumsy Teacher Wang, his attitude is casual, and when he walks in the classroom, it is like taking a walk.

He didn't directly answer Jiang Xiuxiu's question, but tilted his head and asked her: "Do you know the information about that family on August 13?"

Jiang Xiuxiu took a few steps back, vigilantly avoiding Teacher Wang's attack range.

After hearing the BOSS's words, she shook her head: "I don't know. In order to protect the privacy of the victims, those news reports all use pseudonyms."

Hearing this, Xu Bai laughed.

"Then I can tell you," he said lightly, "the male master of that family is also surnamed Xu."

After saying that, he made a sudden move, used a hand knife, and slashed at the back of Teacher Wang's neck neatly!

With a muffled sound, Teacher Wang's body twitched and fell to the ground.

Teacher Wang, who was so frightened that Jiang Xiuxiu lay dead, is now so vulnerable in front of Xu Bai.

On the other side, after hearing Xu Bai's reply, Jiang Xiuxiu couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

The male owner of the family massacre was actually the same surname as Xu Bai! ?

She didn't think the BOSS said it casually.

He must have close ties with that family.

So, he was a survivor of that case?

No, judging from Xu Bai's current situation, he should be dead, and he is still wandering in the academy in the form of a soul.

Jiang Xiuxiu's brain was running fast, and gradually, a guess came up from her mind—

If the information Xu Bai told himself was true, then his purpose was nothing more than that blood jade.

Facing the piece of blood jade that ruined his whole family, he must want to reseal it, or in other words, destroy it.

However, due to certain restrictions, he can only appear once a day, and the time is about five minutes, which is very unfavorable for action.

In this way, he needs a helper, a tool person who can help him with everything.

Obviously, the person Xu Bai picked was her.

"Have you figured it out?" Xu Bai asked.

His eyes stared straight at Jiang Xiuxiu, like a snake that had found its prey, keeping calm and not letting go of any changes in its prey.

"Blood jade, there are still two pieces in the school, one is in the banned classroom where we first met, and the other is protected by the ghosts in the academy."

At the end, he lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "And I have a way to completely destroy them."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiuxiu suddenly thought, it really is.

His purpose turned out to be the blood jade in Teacher Wang's hands.

However, why does she always feel that something is not right...

She just found out the blood jade, and it didn't take long before she met Teacher Wang who was holding the blood jade.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Bai told her about his situation.

All of this seems to have happened too quickly, too coincidentally.

But the BOSS should not give herself false information, because she has worked so hard to find out the information.

Including the matter of blood jade, and the ability of blood jade, she has also witnessed it with her own eyes.

As for whether the family's surname was Xu or not, she could have inquired about the older NPC in the academy. He didn't need to lie about this.

So, what the boss said is true?

"Why did you choose me?"

A few seconds later, Jiang Xiuxiu asked slowly.

She recalled her performance after entering the game, and she felt that there was nothing particularly attractive about herself.

Why does he have to think that it is himself? It is clear that Shu Xin and the others are stronger, right?

Especially just now, she was lying on the ground directly.

If she was Xu Bai, she wouldn't take a fancy to a salted fish like herself.

Seeing Jiang Xiuxiu asking this question, Xu Bai blinked in surprise.

He tilted his head, raised the corner of his mouth at her, and said, "Of course, I think you are interesting."

Jiang Xiuxiu: "...Hello?!"

Seeing Jiang Xiuxiu's eyes widening, Xu Bai stopped teasing her.

"Time is running out," he said with a smile. "You don't have to rush back to me, I can give you a day to think about it."

"Of course, in return, when you are in school, I may be able to provide you with some protection," he fixedly looked at Jiang Xiuxiu, his deep black eyes were as clean as ever, and he could not see the slightest hypocrisy. , "I can see that your teammates may not be as reliable as you think, so you will need it."

"Besides that, I can promise you one condition...any condition will do."

Any conditions will do?

After Jiang Xiuxiu heard this, she showed a grateful look on the surface, but she was thinking that if she took out the cat ears and tail in her pocket, Xu Bai would definitely turn her face right away.

Seeing that she didn't reply, Xu Bai wasn't annoyed. After laughing twice, he disappeared into the air.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiuxiu, without saying a word, hurriedly bypassed Teacher Wang on the ground and hurried back to the teacher's apartment.

As I said before, Jiang Xiuxiu has a character that can't be said to be good or bad, and that is to keep track of current affairs.

After confirming what the boss Xu Bai was going to do, she knew that this was not something she could handle.

She has always been very clear about her position.

She is a wage earner, a newcomer to the game working for Shu Xin.

The promise of BOSS is very attractive, and the bonus of 50 million is also very attractive, but it is precisely because it is so attractive and the amount of the bonus is too large that it makes people feel unreal.

Not to mention, she had to work hard at the risk of being affected by the blood jade, and after finishing her work, she had to beware of the boss turning back at the end.

She has always been a very rational person. Compared with the illusory 50 million yuan, she chooses the 10,000 yuan that is available at her fingertips.

According to the information provided by Xu Bai, she has almost mastered some of the secrets of Cihe Academy. When she tells Shu Xin all this, she will definitely get a bonus from Shu Xin!

As for the boss, he probably won't come out until tomorrow. By then, Jiang Xiuxiu will have made almost all the money, and she can just leave the game through Xu Bai's hand.

Xu Bai's behavior was too strange, and the laughter before he disappeared made Jiang Xiuxiu a little wary.

Rather than guessing here, she might as well take the money and leave.

At this time, it is not too early.

Thinking of her plan, Jiang Xiuxiu accelerated her pace and ran towards the lounge.

"Shu Xin, do you know, I found a big news today..."

She couldn't wait to open the door and opened her mouth to ask Shu Xin for credit.

"Oh, it's you."

However, what Jiang Xiuxiu never expected was that when she saw her return, Shu Xin had an indifferent expression on her face.

No, it was not only indifference, but after hearing Jiang Xiuxiu's words, a disgusted expression appeared on her face.

"Big news?" She sneered and said, "So far, you still want to lie to me?"

She looked at Jiang Xiuxiu coldly, and said word by word, "Jiang Xiuxiu, do you really think I'm stupid?"
