Chapter 165: Chapter 141: Ye Fan’s Suspicious Points, The System Voice in the School
He looked at the camera feed in front of him.
Fang Xiu glanced at it briefly and asked, "What is it?"
He already had a good idea why Li Mu was showing him this.
However, even though he knew, he had to pretend he didn’t.
After all, this was the camera feed from Ying Qingying, who had already been Sacrificed.
Although Fang Xiu didn’t know why this video had been saved.
’Shouldn’t all traces have been erased?’
"Keep watching."
Li Mu didn’t answer Fang Xiu, instead telling him to continue watching.
Hearing this, Fang Xiu could only watch on reluctantly.
Soon, the two screens went black.
Fang Xiu knew this was the moment he had been talking to Ying Qingying, preparing for the Sacrifice.
The progress bar continued to move forward.
Fang Xiu knew roughly how long the Sacrifice would take, but he remained a quiet observer, watching very carefully, afraid of missing the slightest detail.
It wasn’t entirely an act.
Fang Xiu was genuinely curious why this video, which was clearly about Ying Qingying, hadn’t disappeared.
’Is there something special about it?’
So, Fang Xiu watched very closely.
"Hm?"
Just then, Fang Xiu saw that both feeds had turned on at the same time.
But he only felt a flicker of doubt.
Because by this point, Ying Qingying should have already been Sacrificed by him.
’Why did her camera turn on?’
Of course, his expression didn’t change. He just kept staring at the screen.
Later, when Fang Xiu saw the second camera turn on, he realized it had actually become Ye Fan’s camera.
But Fang Xiu remained impassive as he continued to watch.
He knew Li Mu must also be confused about why the second camera’s position had changed from its previous height to its current one.
The two were clearly not at the same height.
Ye Fan’s was higher, while Ying Qingying’s was lower.
So the heights of the two cameras were, in fact, different.
Fang Xiu could tell this much.
Which meant Li Mu must have noticed it too.
"What do you think?"
Li Mu asked, looking at Fang Xiu.
Fang Xiu thought for a moment before saying, "Is that two different people, or one person wearing it in different places?"
In reality, Fang Xiu knew it wasn’t one person.
After all, he had already Sacrificed Ying Qingying, who was originally in that position.
In her place was Ye Fan’s perspective.
Later in the footage, Fang Xiu had seen himself.
That was how he could tell the video was from Ye Fan.
Because besides his contact with Ye Fan, Fang Xiu hadn’t interacted with anyone else.
"I think it’s one person."
To Fang Xiu’s surprise, Li Mu didn’t think it was two people, but just one.
"How can one person wear the badge at different heights?"
Fang Xiu retorted.
Only then did Li Mu nod slightly. "That’s precisely why I called you here."
"Hm? This person is Ye Fan, right?"
Fang Xiu said, "The other feed is me. I can recognize it; that’s my video from before. I turned off the camera for convenience."
"Yes, you’re right."
Li Mu nodded slightly and said, "This one is from your badge camera, and the other one is Ye Fan’s."
"Then, Vice Hall Master, what’s the point of showing me this?"
Fang Xiu was a little confused.
’If they think it’s the same person, why are they looking for me?’
Fang Xiu had thought they had found some kind of clue.
’But it was just to ask about this?’
"This Ye Fan... there might be something wrong with him!"
Li Mu looked at Fang Xiu.
After a moment, he finally spoke slowly.
"Something wrong with him?"
Fang Xiu was taken aback, then shook his head. "I was with him for four days and didn’t notice anything special about him!"
Fang Xiu knew that the lower camera angle was from Ying Qingying, not Ye Fan.
’Isn’t it a bit rash to conclude that Ye Fan has a problem based on this?’
"Actually, we’ve always suspected there’s something wrong with Ye Fan. We just never had any proof."
Li Mu looked at Fang Xiu and said, "Mr. Fang Xiu, please think back carefully. During the few days you spent with Ye Fan, was there anything different about him?"
"Well..."
Fang Xiu then carefully recalled the details of his time with Ye Fan.
Then he shook his head. "No!"
"Are you sure? This is very important."
Li Mu pressed Fang Xiu again.
But Fang Xiu still shook his head, before suddenly seeming to recall something. "If I have to say something... it’s that Ye Fan seemed to know a lot about the Special Gate World!"
"Hm?"
Li Mu nodded slightly.
He gestured for Fang Xiu to continue.
Fang Xiu thought for a moment.
Ever since meeting Ye Fan, although he had been the one leading Ye Fan the whole time, it seemed that from the very beginning, Ye Fan had been leading him by the nose.
Various words and phrases surfaced in Fang Xiu’s mind.
Special places! Special rewards! Demon Beast Tombstone! And even... Ying Qingying.
On the surface, it seemed like Fang Xiu had the upper hand.
But it all seemed to be information that Ye Fan had intentionally revealed to him from the start.
’Thinking about it that way, had Ye Fan been misleading him from the beginning?’
Moreover, Ye Fan had only been notified a month ago.
Yet he seemed to know so much.
Fang Xiu had originally just thought that all of this could be learned.
If it were him, he probably could have done the same.
But thinking about it carefully, something didn’t seem quite right.
Ye Fan’s persona was clearly that of an honest man, so why was it that after leaving the Demon Beast Tombstone...
