Chapter 84: Going to Have Bad Luck
Bai Cha shook her head, putting on a look of having a hidden difficulty, and said, “I’m afraid it’s useless.”
Seeing this, Wang Siyao didn’t ask any more questions.
She had managed to gloss over it.
They met the counselor. Actually, the school was currently on winter break, but because there were graduate and doctoral students staying on campus, there were still people coming and going.
The counselor was a man in his early thirties. He already knew Wang Siyao’s intentions. However, Wang Siyao said that Bai Cha was being stalked and that the police couldn’t find out who it was, suspecting it was her ex-boyfriend, so they came to ask.
“I definitely can’t show you the files. I’ve talked about your situation with another teacher. Your boyfriend’s homeroom teacher has a habit of keeping student registration information and other forms. I borrowed the keys for you.”
The counselor used the key to open the office door, then opened a desk drawer and pulled out several folders.
“It should be in here…”
[Good heavens, can NPCs provide this much information?]
[I don’t know, no one in this instance has probably progressed this far]
[First time seeing an NPC provide information so easily]
[Feels like as long as your acting is good in this instance, it should be fine, right?]
[Haha, you make it sound easy. Haven’t there been streamers with good acting skills before? Didn’t you notice that these seemingly normal interactions are all because the streamer can act very naturally? If she makes even a slight mistake, do you think the NPC will suddenly turn into a monster and kill her?]
[Exactly, it’s not uncommon to have friendly NPCs in instances. But that doesn’t mean these NPCs are necessarily harmless]
[So what? Anyway, someone with some experience will pay attention. Compared to those aggressive NPCs, isn’t this much easier?]
While Bai Cha was searching through the documents, the comment section started arguing.
She pretended to smooth her hair back and casually closed the chat.
The chat was no longer useful.
All the other players were dead, leaving only her. If she entered the dream, the chat wouldn’t go in. Father Gu was outside now.
Let them argue, don’t bother her.
When the streamer closes the chat, it will be displayed in the live stream that the streamer cannot currently see the chat.
[…]
[Well… I’m saying, what are you guys arguing about for no reason? She doesn’t interact with us anyway, and now it’s even more of a solo stream]
[Doesn’t really matter, she doesn’t interact anyway, so it doesn’t make a difference whether we watch or not]
Bai Cha finally found the file she wanted. Of course, she wasn’t familiar with the names in it. However, she saw the name Lin Wu that was in the screenshot Wang Siyao had sent earlier.
“Is it in here?” Bai Cha said as she started looking herself.
Hearing this, Wang Siyao immediately looked over. “Yes, our school assigns dorm rooms according to student ID numbers. Although this information doesn’t have the dorm number, the few names next to Lin Wu should all be his roommates, right?”
As Wang Siyao spoke, she had already sent a message to Lin Wu, asking him for the remaining names of the people in the other person’s dorm.
The answer came back quickly.
Among the three names, there was one name.
Qi Wenquan.
[Ding—Congratulations on finding a key clue. Note, when you found his name, he also knew you were looking for him, and he is prepared to wait for you…]
The sudden notification in her ear didn’t cause any change in Bai Cha’s expression.
She silently repeated the name.
What was the relationship between Qi Wenquan and Qi Lianyue?
It wasn’t that she hadn’t considered whether her ex-boyfriend was Qi Lianyue. Otherwise, why would he always stay in that building?
Now this name…
“It seems like that’s the name. It looks familiar at first glance, but when I think about it carefully, I don’t know.” Wang Siyao murmured beside her, and casually sent it to the group chat.
Everyone felt the same way.
They seemed to remember it and also seemed not to remember it, so they couldn’t be sure.
However, there was a phone number registered on this.
After checking with Lin Wu, it was confirmed that this phone number belonged to the ex-boyfriend.
“Then it seems like it’s this bastard, damn it!” Wang Siyao spat.
She quickly frowned again and said, “But I don’t know the address.”
“I know, you don’t need to come with me, I’ll go take a look myself.”
Bai Cha put the file back on the table.
The counselor beside her hesitated, after all, the version he knew was just about being stalked for revenge.
So he originally wanted to ask if they should call the police.
Bai Cha noticed his expression and winked at Wang Siyao.
Wang Siyao nodded, looking like she understood.
“Old Yuan, do you want to come with us?”
Bai Cha: “?”
She probably didn’t mean that, right?
“Anyway, I definitely can’t let Xiaoxue go alone. But just the two of us, we really don’t have the advantage of gender. What do you think about coming with us to take a look?”
The counselor opened his mouth, “But… shouldn’t this kind of thing…”
“Shh!” Wang Siyao interrupted him, lowering her voice. “This matter isn’t as simple as you think. Listen to me…”
Wang Siyao explained the situation, and the counselor listened in astonishment.
He didn’t quite believe it.
“You guys…”
“Anyway, if you don’t believe us, then just come with us. It’s not that we didn’t want to call the police, we actually did, but this isn’t…”
The counselor rubbed his temples with a headache and finally said, “I can go with you, but we also have to call the police and bring them along.”
Bai Cha: “…”
Suddenly, there were more people.
But the question is, was it useful?
Whether it was useful or not, she didn’t know, but Bai Cha did get more information.
It was what the police found out about Qi Wenquan’s family situation.
This also included the relationship between Qi Lianyue and Qi Wenquan.
The two were cousins.
Qi Wenquan’s parents were far away overseas, and the information showed that Qi Wenquan himself had also gone abroad with his parents. There was no death notice for him.
On the other hand, Qi Lianyue himself died last year. Because he was also involved in a murder case, his parents, in their emotional turmoil, both passed away within a year.
And the residential area that Bai Cha found was indeed Qi Wenquan’s home.
Qi Lianyue didn’t live there; he used to live near that building.
Since Qi Wenquan’s whole family was not at home, it was currently uncertain if there were other people inside.
If there weren’t, then they definitely couldn’t force their way in and would have to contact someone first.
In short, so much information was directly delivered to her hands. On the contrary, it made Bai Cha feel a sense of unease for the first time in this instance, a feeling of not being in control.
Just… with her luck, hiss…
Anyway, she had always believed in the law of conservation of energy: gaining something inevitably means losing something.
So usually, even though she was unlucky, she wouldn’t feel much about it.
It was probably because so many people helped her, and it was difficult for her to repay them all, so she would use bad luck to clear some of the debts.
So the current situation…
She felt like she was about to have really bad luck.
