"Kid, do you know a senior who hides bookmarks?"

The senior hid the bookmark a few years before the timeline they came to. The kid knew Bai Yuanyuan. According to him, he was a junior who was one grade below them.

Although there is a gap of several years between them, what if they know each other or have heard of each other?

Feng Ling asked the little ghost this question, thinking that it would be no harm to give it a try.

The kid squatted on the ground and thought about it. After a while, he remembered that there was indeed such a senior.

"I know. You're talking about Senior Zhou, right? Since his class, almost every student knows about him."

When Xiao Gui thought of Senior Zhou, his eyes revealed admiration.

At that time, Senior Zhou was the only top student in Chaoyang High School. Since then, he has been mentioned in school speeches every year, and Senior Zhou has become a legend of Chaoyang High School.

But for some reason, none of them knew what Senior Zhou looked like, or even his full name. They only knew that this outstanding senior was named Zhou, that he was a good student with excellent character and behavior, that he was their role model, and that he was at the top of Chaoyang High School's honor roll.

"Is it true that such a legendary figure has no photo or name left behind?"

Hua Meng knew something was wrong as soon as she heard it. Even if there was no photo, she should at least know the name.

But Xiao Gui shook his head clearly. He firmly believed that no one had ever mentioned Senior Zhou's full name.

"Haven't you ever wondered about his full name?"

Lian Wu also found it incredible. This was like the top scorer in the imperial examination whose name was unknown to anyone. This was very abnormal.

When this was mentioned, the kid froze in his tracks. He realized that no one had ever been curious. They seemed to take it for granted that Senior Zhou was Senior Zhou, as if that was his name.

They estimated that they could not get any useful information from the little ghost, so the three decided to make use of the little ghost's appearance and continue looking for the bones and bookmarks.

After moving away from 305, Xiao Gui disappeared again, but this time, his pace slowed down. He didn't think about Senior Zhou's name, which seemed to have a great impact on him.

He has fallen into self-doubt. Has he become stupid? He has never even doubted the name of his idol. Is there something that has clouded his brain?

Seeing that the little ghost was walking too slowly, Feng Ling asked him to follow behind Hua Meng and walk between the three of them.

When they arrived at the public bathroom, Hua Meng turned around and paid attention to the condition of the little ghost.

Just now, 305 is not only the place where bookmarks are hidden, but also where the bones of the little ghost are located. What if the place where the bookmarks are stored is related to the little ghost?

At first the little ghost was still invisible, but after a while he began to appear and disappear.

When they were about to enter the bathroom, they suddenly heard a noise behind them.

Lian Wu turned around suddenly and saw a figure flash past the stairs at the opposite corner.

The three people who found something wrong immediately became alert. Hua Meng calculated the time and found that the other players should have left the cafeteria long ago.

If the figure just now was not an NPC, it was most likely a player. Hua Meng felt that there was a high probability that it was a puppet of Earthworm.

He used typing to make another bet with the audience in the live broadcast room, and the bet was about the identity of that figure.

The previous betting pool hadn't been drawn yet, so everyone was being relatively conservative this time around. There were still a lot of people, but the points in the pool were much lower.

Hua Meng didn't mind. He thought, "As long as there's green mountains, there's firewood to burn." If he plundered all the audience's points at once, what would he earn in the future? Air?

It would be better if everyone learned to be conservative. The points they saved could be invested in their bets, although in small amounts and multiple times, but they would never lose money.

It is not realistic to chase after him at this time. It is better to be vigilant and continue exploring the water room.

This time it was Lian Wu's turn to guard the bathroom door, mainly because Feng Ling and Hua Meng were unwilling to be the guards. This extremely boring job was simply maddening.

Lian Wu didn't object. After all, both of them had been on guard, so it was normal for it to be his turn.

He stood at the door, holding Frost in his arms. The door frame was too dirty, so he didn't dare to lean against it directly.

The figure just now has disappeared now. Lian Wu thought that if the figure appeared again, he would chase it and see what kind of person this person is who is pretending to be a ghost.

If it was a real ghost, that would be fine. But if it was someone else's doing, Lian Wu had to teach that person a lesson. He was just wandering around the dormitory instead of doing his job.

After a while, a cold wind blew by, and Lianwu suddenly became alert. He looked around and suddenly saw a white shadow flash at the stairs on the side.

Lian Wu knocked on the door frame of the bathroom to indicate that he was leaving, and quickly ran towards the direction of the white shadow.

The two people who heard the signal in the bathroom were not worried. Before their lunch break, they had already determined some signals for emergencies.

Hua Meng also placed anchor props on both of them, so if either of them left, he could reach the other at any time.

The white shadow was moving very fast, but the mist was also moving quickly. It went up the stairs quickly, and when it reached the corner, it simply turned sideways and kicked the wall at the corner to make a turn.

The distance between Lian Wu and the white shadow was getting closer and closer, but in the stairs with only green lights indicating a safe passage, it was difficult to see the white shadow's true face even if he got closer.

When the distance between the two was less than three body lengths, Lian Wu swung his sword and slashed at them without hesitation.

A piece of white cloth on Bai Ying's body was cut off in an instant and fell to the ground. A cut was also made on his back, but no blood flowed out.

The earthworm who was hiding in a corner and controlling a puppet fell forward in pain. The earthworm's puppet and he had empathy. Although he had no wounds on his body, he could fully feel the pain of being cut by a sword.

There should have been a burning pain, but instead he felt a chill at the wound. He felt as if the blood there had solidified, and subconsciously touched his back.

This action also caused the white shadow to slow down. Lian Wu seized the opportunity, grabbed the cloth on the white shadow and pulled it towards himself.

After realizing that the puppet was caught, the earthworm tried to control the puppet to struggle, but the sword was already across the puppet's neck. The earthworm felt the coldness in front of its throat and knew that the puppet was useless, so it gave up on the puppet and cut off the connection between the two.

The puppet collapsed instantly after losing its operator, and was only prevented from falling to the ground by Lian Wu pulling its hair.

Lian Wu grabbed the puppet's clothes at the back of its neck and dragged it down the stairs.

As a result, I found that I had run all the way from the third floor to the sixth floor without realizing it. I had to drag this thing downstairs. Although Lianwu could drag it, it was really a waste of energy.

So he kicked the puppet down with one foot, and the puppet went down the stairs with a clang, and was kicked again every time it turned a corner.

This method saves time and effort, and Lianwu expressed great satisfaction.

The last kick sent the puppet directly to the door of the bathroom, making a clanging sound.

This was something they had not discussed before. Feng Ling and Hua Meng hurried out to check, and saw the bruised and battered simulated puppet in front of them.

Due to bumps and collisions, the simulated human skin on the puppet's face has a lot of scratches. In order to make the puppet more realistic, the earthworm originally added a layer of special material to the face, so that when injured, it will bleed and bruise just like a normal person.

At this time, the puppet's face was covered with scars, and its inorganic eyes seemed to reveal a sense of despair.

“It’s an earthworm indeed.”

Hua Meng recognized the puppet's owner at a glance and settled the betting pool in the live broadcast room.

Feng Ling picked up the puppet. The puppet was wearing a shroud and had a piece of white cloth tied on its head. It was obviously used to scare people.

"This earthworm is really bold. He even dared to come and scare us. When I was on the leaderboard, he was playing in the mud in some corner."

Feng Ling expressed disdain for the earthworm's little tricks. Is this the level of No. 17 on the list? After not seeing it for a few years, this ranking is getting worse and worse.

[“When I was on the leaderboard”, everyone, pay attention! This guy is not some low-level player!]

[So after all this time, none of you have figured out who he is?]

[Doesn't this mean he's a low-level player? No one's going to try to find out (pointing fingers)]

[As a veteran player who's been on the leaderboard, don't any of your old fans recognize you?]

[I don't know. Who knows how many years ago this ranking was? It's not too late to find out now. I can just go and look it up.]

[No, then how did this guy manage to not have any points at all? Could it be that he saved up points and then took a vacation, and then entered the dungeon when he ran out of points?]

[I think it's possible.]

Hua Meng obviously also caught this sentence. He looked at Feng Ling suspiciously. He had never heard of such a number one player anywhere.

At least he had never heard of this name in all the years he had been in Jingyi, and Feng Ling looked only in his 20s. It was impossible that he was actually very old, right?

But when Hua Meng recalled someone in the livestream saying that Lian Wu might have come from the world of cultivation, he started to think that was a possibility. After all, Lian Wu didn't look very old, so he might actually be hundreds or even thousands of years old.

After Feng Ling noticed the gazes of his two teammates, he did not explain much. After all, the contract stated that he was not allowed to reveal his identity. He just said that casually and barely jumped on the edge of the boundary.

Even 002 was frightened by his words. If this guy had said one more word, it would have been over.

"I'm impressed by him. He was so honest before, why is he suddenly saying this now?"

002 didn't even have the mood to slack off. Just as he was feeling annoyed, 003 came over from next door.

"What's wrong with him? Someone over there is already trying to uncover his identity."

After seeing those comments, 003 immediately sent a message to his superior, but he hasn't replied yet.

She had heard that Feng Ling was not a very honest person, but apart from those slightly violent behaviors before, he did not do anything that violated the contract. She had just put her mind at ease when this happened.

042 watched the two seniors discuss this matter while he himself huddled aside like a quail. Even 002, who usually slacked off, was paying attention, which showed that this matter was extremely important and it was best for a junior like him not to interfere.

Fortunately, Feng Ling did not continue to explain his identity, and Lian Wu and Hua Meng did not ask.

The puppet in front of him had completely lost the control of the earthworm and had become an abandoned prop.

"In fact, puppets can be purchased in the store, and there are quite a few players who use them. One of the important reasons why Earthworm is ranked 17th is that he makes all his puppets by hand. Therefore, he has very few puppets, and each one is very precious. He actually gave up this puppet like that."

Hua Meng didn't expect that this puppet would be brought back. After all, earthworms cherish their puppets very much. Sometimes they would even run back to the scene to recover the puppet fragments after a fight.

Lian Wu pointed at the back of the puppet. Feng Ling turned the puppet over and pushed the cloth on its head aside. The hideous hole on the back of the puppet appeared in front of them.

The little ghost gasped after seeing this, and was glad that he had provoked Feng Ling and not pounced on Lian Wu.

If this sword hit him, the little ghost felt that he would not even be able to leave behind any last words.

"You're really cruel."

Hua Meng felt a phantom pain in her back.

However, the person involved, Lian Wu, said that this was normal operation. Who told the puppet to stop doing its job and run to him to show its presence? Unfortunately, the puppet had no puppet string, so it couldn't directly follow the puppet string to find the earthworm.

"Did you find anything?"

Feng Ling nodded, "The little ghost's small bones were stuffed into the water tank. They were soaked in the water for a long time, and there was a smell."

The little ghost suffered a lot and this time he didn't dare to pounce on it and touch his bones.

As for the bookmark, Hua Meng took it off the light bulb. It was the one with the summer logo.

Chaoyang High School - Summer

The blazing sun of the day can't stop you from running, and the gentle breeze of the night brings you peace of mind. In this joyful season, you will surely receive an acceptance letter from your dream university and look forward to a wonderful life ahead.

Now there is only the last bookmark left. Hua Meng has now confirmed that the location where the little ghost's body is placed is definitely related to the bookmark.

Finding his body was just a side task. What they had to do was to quickly locate the bookmark by finding the body.

Hua Meng is now more and more satisfied with this little ghost. After all, it is not him that is annoyed by this little ghost. Even if he touches all those bones and flesh, he cannot pounce on Hua Meng who is in the air.

Seeing the miserable state of the puppet, the little ghost did not dare to provoke Lian Wu, and Feng Ling became the biggest victim this time.

"What should we do with this puppet?"

Feng Ling shook the puppet twice, and the puppet swayed from side to side like a sunny doll.

"The earthworm is reluctant to part with this puppet. This simulated human skin is very valuable. I will definitely come back to reclaim the puppet when the time comes."

Hua Meng gave them two options: one was to use the puppet as bait to catch the earthworm and beat it up, and the other was to use the puppet to trade with the earthworm and cheat it out of something.
