Infinite Flow: Becoming a God in a Nightmare Game

Jiang Qi didn't send Lin Wanchu away after hearing her words, and instead let Lin Wanchu and the others follow him to search for clues.

After all, Lin Wanchu is one of the smarter and more promising newcomers, and she can help me find clues, so why not?

Jiang Qi and Lin Wanchu agreed to meet at dawn, but it's still early, so there's plenty of time to look for other clues.

Jiang Qi first gave Lin Wanchu and the others the task of finding out about Chu Qidie's best friend, and then went to the dormitory with Lu Zhi.

"Lu Zhi, put your hand out."

Lu Zhi obediently stretched out his hand, revealing a horrific wound that ran from his fingers to the base of his palm, the blood already dried.

Jiang Qi didn't ask Lu Zhi why he wouldn't let the system heal his wounds. He simply lowered his eyes and helped Lu Zhi disinfect, apply medicine, and bandage his wounds.

The process was so smooth, as if it had been done many times before.

The system can help heal visible wounds, but it cannot heal internal injuries.

Therefore, players can only exchange points for healing medicines in the system shop, but this also depends on the player's willingness.

After treating Lu Zhi's wounds, Jiang Qi took off his dusty school uniform, revealing his lean waist. He then changed into new clothes since he had no wounds on his body.

Then, after taking the recovery medicine, I felt much better and went out with Lu Zhi.

Jiang Qi hugged Lu Zhi to show that he was no longer feeling unwell, and only then did Lu Zhi loosen his grip on Jiang Qi's clothes slightly.

Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi went downstairs to the dormitory where the incident occurred and found that the deceased player was sitting in the dormitory perfectly fine, just like a normal person.

The player stood behind the door, peering through the crack at the person entering, and asked timidly, "Excuse me, what's wrong?"

Jiang Qi looked at him with a smile, "Hello classmate, do you remember who we are?"

"Of course I remember, aren't you my classmates? Why are you saying such strange things?"

"Oh, that's all, classmate. Sorry to bother you."

Jiang Qi didn't ask any more questions and pulled Lu Zhi downstairs, where they ran into Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue, who were looking for them.

Jiang Qi gestured for them to go aside to talk, and Lin Wanchu told Jiang Qi all the useful information she had.

However, there wasn't much useful information available. All they knew was that Chu Qidie's best friend was named Xu Yan, and that she occasionally worked part-time as a librarian at the library.

Jiang Qi felt a slight sense of familiarity upon hearing the name Xu Yan. That's right, the girl sitting at the front desk when they went to the library to find books was named Xu Yan. It seems he should go to the library to talk to her.

Jiang Qi also told Lin Wanchu that players would be resurrected after death, but that the resurrected players would have already been assimilated in the dungeon, and told Lin Wanchu and the others to be careful.

Lin Wanchu gave Jiang Qi a grateful look, but Jiang Qi just smiled faintly, as if he didn't care about her gratitude at all.

After exchanging clues, Jiang Qi led them to the library. Most of the people sitting in the library were students studying, with a few teachers occasionally present.

Since Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi are both boys, asking Xu Yan directly would make her wary.

So the task was assigned to Lin Wanchu, while the two of them pretended to be studying at the library but were actually secretly watching their actions.

Sure enough, Xu Yan didn't suspect anything and started chatting with Lin Wanchu. At first, she just asked if anything strange had happened at the school.

However, when Lin Wanchu mentioned Chu Qidie, Xu Yan looked completely bewildered.

Xu Yan looked at Lin Wanchu with a puzzled expression and said something that left them both baffled, "Does our school even have a person named Chu Qidie? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"The Chu in 'pitiful and charming,' the Qi in 'resting,' the Die in 'butterfly,' think again, is there really no one with this name?"

"I'm sorry, I don't recall anyone by that name at the school, and I don't know anyone named Chu Qidie."

"Okay, I had a great chat with you today, thank you!"

Lin Wanchu could only end the topic tactfully, then quickly slipped away with Lu Xue, leaving Xu Yan wondering as she returned to the library front desk.

Jiang Qi looked up at Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue who were walking over, and mouthed to them how they were doing. Lin Wanchu shook her head dejectedly.

Lin Wanchu was also helpless and recounted the conversation. Jiang Qi was quite surprised and puzzled by the situation and lowered his head to think.

If this was intentional on the part of the system to prevent them from finding clues to crack the dungeon, then the system would not have allowed them to find this key figure in the first place.

Having spent so much time and energy navigating the Nightmare Game, Jiang Qi was quite familiar with its nature.

So there must be other reasons that led to Xu Yan's situation. But it's puzzling that everyone else clearly remembers Chu Qidie, yet Xu Yan, as her best friend, doesn't.

Even if she doesn't remember Chu Qidie, it's strange that she doesn't recognize the name when people around her mention it.

Even if they can find clues, the mystery is slowly increasing. Is this the level of difficulty a new player dungeon should have?

The previous life's storyline was significantly simpler than this one, but that didn't faze Jiang Qi; he simply enjoyed the feeling of making things even more difficult.

Lu Zhi's voice interrupted Jiang Qi's thoughts, "Brother, is it possible that Xu Yan's memories have been erased? Or that all information about Chu Qidie has been deliberately deleted, just so that Xu Yan doesn't know about Chu Qidie or even her name?"

Lin Wanchu and the others' eyes lit up when they heard this; this was the most likely scenario.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qi's eyes flashed with a strange light. If that was the case, then everything made sense.

It seems they've only discovered the tip of the iceberg of the secrets hidden in this instance; there are probably many more secrets to come.

Time flew by as they searched for clues, and before they knew it, it was dusk.

Not only Jiang Qi noticed this, but Lin Wanchu and the others also noticed that the daytime was getting shorter and the nights were getting longer. They absolutely couldn't keep dragging it out, as the danger would only increase as time went on.

Now I can only go back to my dorm to rest and recharge, because there's another tough battle to fight tonight.

After parting ways with Lin Wanchu and the others, Jiang Qi led Lu Zhi back to their dormitory.

Jiang Qi wasn't idle in the dormitory either. He and Lu Zhi found a few items that were barely usable for attacking and carried them with them.

I opened the system shop again and found that I didn't have enough points left to buy items, so I gave up on the idea of ​​buying items.

Jiang Qi lay on the clean bed, closed his eyes to rest, completely ignoring Lu Zhi's burning gaze.

Jiang Qi knew that Lu Zhi was worried about his health. He had just had a fight with the head of the teaching department today, which had taken a toll on his energy. He also had to go find that ghost story tonight, which would take a toll on his body.

Jiang Qi simply ignored Lu Zhi's thoughts and focused on the general plot of the entire instance.

Night quietly descended, and Jiang Qi, having timed it perfectly, left the boys' dormitory building with Lu Zhi and arrived at the girls' dormitory building, where they saw Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue waiting for them.

They each held a wig in their hands. "Well, you'll just have to make do with wearing wigs, otherwise the dorm supervisor will get suspicious."

Lin Wanchu shrugged helplessly.

"It's okay, it's just a wig, it's acceptable."

Jiang Qi accepted the wigs they brought, chose one for himself, and gave the other one to Lu Zhi.

Even though Lin Wanchu thought she had seen many beautiful girls and boys, none of them were as pretty as the person in front of her.

The lights from downstairs in the dormitory shone on Jiang Qi's well-defined face, outlining his perfect features. His wig hung down, highlighting his already fair skin.

A slight smile played on her lips, which softened the coldness in her eyes, but the red beauty mark at the corner of her eye still possessed a fatal attraction.

When Lu Zhi put on the wig, Lin Wanchu teased Jiang Qi, "You know what, your brother looks quite cute with the wig on, like a naive little girl."

"He's not my brother. Let's go check out that so-called ghost story first."
