Chapter 97: “People”

"Fejia?"

Out of caution, Ye Ting was still willing to go through the process and do useless work. When she heard Lin Han's words, she was walking back with the ball.

She pondered the name for a moment, tugged at Jiang Lili's sleeve, and asked, "It sounds familiar. Have you heard it somewhere before?"

Dai Zisheng and Wen Cheng were the first to shake their heads. They didn't pay much attention to other players, especially since the name sounded like a woman's name. They didn't usually interact with her, so naturally they wouldn't have any impression of her.

There were new choices before them. Undecided about which way to go, the five of them stood at the fork in the road cautiously, not daring to get too close to either side.

Jiang Lili thought for a while and finally dug out the name from the depths of her memory.

Jiang Lili: "I think we met this person before, but that was a long time ago, and I'm not sure if it's the same name."

Lin Han did not try to describe Fei Jia's appearance. In her impression, Fei Jia did not have any mysterious or special memory points. She looked quite ordinary, otherwise he would not have really regarded her as a dungeon NPC at the beginning.

He looked at Ye Ting and Jiang Lili again. "She should be a... captain? I'm not sure if that's accurate, but when I met her before, the other players in the dungeon seemed to know her and follow her instructions. It was with her help that I was able to safely clear those two dungeons."

At this point, Lin Han scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "But I didn't have the chance to talk to her, so I thought if you guys knew each other, maybe there would be a chance..."

Lin Han’s intention to show it to Ye Ting and the others was very clear.

He had received help from Fei Jia in the copy, so he had a certain liking for her and tried to find a way to get close to her.

Ye Ting looked at him in surprise. "According to what you said, I do remember a little bit, but she's not easy to talk to..."

It's more than just difficult to talk to her. Ye Ting and Jiang Lili looked at each other and guessed that the Fei Jia in their memory who relied on her numbers to directly ask all players to listen to her arrangements was the Fei Jia Lin Han was looking for. Those who disobeyed were killed by her soon after. It was hard to imagine what Lin Han's so-called "help" was.

Because of Ye Ting's words, Lin Han looked over expectantly.

Just as he said, his eyesight was affected, but at this moment, because of the other party's words, his face showed a bit more excitement.

Ye Ting: "...but we're not really familiar with each other. It's been more than half a year since we last met."

That bit of excitement disappeared in an instant.

His happiness and unhappiness were too obvious, and the other four people were both amused and confused. They didn't know that there could be such a deeply infatuated person in their place.

Perhaps love at first sight is like that. Whether to help or not, in Fei Jia's eyes, Lin Han was probably just obedient enough not to interfere with his plans. But it was clear that Lin Han, simply because they were attracted to each other, took the other person's assertiveness as a favor.

If it were placed next to Ye Ting, it would just be seen as a joke.

It’s just that Lin Han had just helped them a lot, and anyone with a little gratitude would not laugh at him at this time.

Lin Han lowered his head in disappointment, and ignored the four of them as they discussed how to make the next correct choice.

He stared at his fingers hanging by his side, and his fingertips trembled slightly twice.

Lin Han said so much just to confirm his other guess, but now, Ye Ting and Jiang Lili have given him a positive answer.

When Lin Han, Song Ziyi and Liu Guoqiang reviewed the dungeon that Lin Han had experienced, there was a question that they could not find the answer to - where did the other players come from.

Every time a dungeon is opened, the "matched players" prompted by the system are definitely not normal players. During the public beta, all dungeons that are about to be opened are being watched by Liu Guoqiang and others, and no player can restrain himself from entering a dungeon that is not known to the public without making it public.

Lin Han even thought that the so-called players were specially created by the New World for his "internal beta", but the reality is that these players seem to have existed longer than the New World's public beta.

Ye Ting knew about Fei Jia's existence, and this was the proof.

In addition to its "internal beta", the New World seems to have another "internal beta" which is for this group of players.

I don’t know where the New World got the power to allow so many people to participate in the internal test for such a long time without telling them.

After completing this dungeon, he had one more thing to ask Alfred.

Lin Han sighed softly, but was not worried.

In the future, he just needs to follow the arrangements of Ye Ting and the others. Just based on his abilities, they will not abandon him.

When you think about it this way, learning how to heal is a pretty good deal.

"You want to know?"

The familiar monster's voice sounded, smiling, like a question and a tease.

"If you stay here quietly, I'll tell you."

"I know everything you want to know. I won't lie to you."

Lin Han's expression was gloomy and unclear.

I was so busy confirming it that I forgot about the biggest danger for a moment.

But Lin Han didn't disbelieve what it said. On the contrary, Lin Han felt that everything it said was true.

Alfred told him that an unhandled error had occurred in the new world, which was the monster that was currently haunting him. They would only be able to resolve and recover it after Lin Han had cleared the dungeon.

Therefore, as an existence that can be considered a bug in the new world, it is normal for it to know some inside information.

It’s just that this monster misjudged Lin Han.

Lin Han knew clearly that Alfred would help him when he was in danger, and he had fulfilled his promise more than once.

Therefore, no matter where they are, as long as they are within the New World, Lin Han, Alfred, and the New World officials will always belong to the same camp.

His goal besides experiencing the game was to complete the dungeon, so he wouldn't be easily swayed by a few casual words.

Are you having a brain seizure?

And the core idea of ​​its words was to keep Lin Han in the game copy, which meant death for Lin Han.

A monster that was trying every possible way to kill him, trying to seduce him with just the answer to one question? He was taking himself too seriously.

Lin Han couldn't help but let out a disgusted "tsk".

Lin Han didn't know if it could read minds, but Lin Han didn't answer, and the other party fell silent, obviously knowing his attitude.

While Lin Han remained silent, Ye Ting and the others were already prepared to continue making their choices.

The ball still led the way. If one wasn't enough, another would come. Both sides were handled at the same time. The faster Ye Ting and Dai Zisheng went to the left and right. As long as a ball rolled in one corridor, they would directly choose the other side.

If the balls on both sides stay in play under the control of the invisible monster, they can also use another cheap item in the mall, the paint bucket.

The information that Lin Han gave that the monster was a physical entity came in handy at this time.

Ye Ting and Dai Zisheng were indeed very fast. In the next two choices, the monster chose to hide in the corridor and attack them. Each of them encountered it once, but they dodged quickly. Lin Han, who was standing at the fork in the road, could only hear the monster's angry roar.

She seemed so angry that she even forgot to pretend to cry.

Ye Ting and Wen Cheng walked forward with Lin Han, who pretended to be blind. It seemed that he really shouldn't have said that he couldn't see in the copy. His words came true, and Lin Han seemed to be really blind.

It was getting darker and darker in front of his eyes. The light in the corridor, which was originally only slightly dim, became dim in his eyes, with a faint hint of green, and mist could be seen floating.

This really doesn't feel right.

Lin Han, who was being supported by two people, tripped over a gap in the wooden floor and stumbled forward.

At this moment, in Lin Han's eyes, the world of the copy seemed to be dark.

Ye Ting, who heard the noise, turned around to see what was happening. After a moment of silence, she led them forward.

After two more choices, amid the monster's cries and the mocking laughter that came from time to time, Ye Ting asked Jiang Lili and Wen Cheng to let go of Lin Han's hands.

"We need to keep our distance from you, Lin Han."

Lin Han could see four people standing in a row in front of him. They looked at him with a bit of fear and terror in their eyes, and he guessed what they saw.

The young man standing under the light in the corridor looked tired. The light above his head fell down, casting a large shadow in front of him.

Jiang Lili and Wen Cheng couldn't help but shiver.

Lin Han had said before that they all had monsters on them, but the dangerous progress bar of the monster on his body was moving particularly fast.

He said the monster covered his eyes.

And now, they saw the figure of the monster gradually emerging on Lin Han's body.

A vague black shadow, and because the color was so light, they could only make out the general shape of the limbs.

It stood behind Lin Han, its dark, looming head resting on Lin Han's shoulder, and its two hands met in front of Lin Han's eyes, as if it was the source of Lin Han's vision being affected.

It was so tall that it almost enveloped Lin Han just by standing close to his back.

Although blurry, it was indeed substantial. The light could not penetrate the hazy shadows, and Lin Han, standing under the light, was in darkness.

Just now, when Wen Cheng was supporting Lin Han and walking forward, he was closer and had already heard the breathing sound of the monster.

And there is laughter.

At first he thought it was his hallucination, until the terrified look of Jiang Lili next to him met his, and he received a warning from Ye Ting in front of him, he realized that everything was real.

Monsters really came as they advanced.

They looked at each other and hadn't seen anything they shouldn't have seen on themselves, but they were beginning to feel tired.

It was not certain whether it was the high pressure from the monsters in the corridor, or the weight of the monsters on their backs, but everyone's back seemed to be bent, and they could not straighten it even if they tried to stretch it.

The previous choice is still the same, either left or right.

Lin Han had no objection to their estrangement. If he were in their place, he would also keep his distance from the obvious danger.

Moreover, he had speculated about this a long time ago, and it was expected that it would become a reality.

After all, this is the only possible direction for the copy.

However, this speed is faster than Lin Han imagined.

And under the premise that the monsters in Ye Ting and the others have not been seen by the naked eye, it is normal for them to want to maintain a relationship with him.

Lin Han waved his hand, took two steps to the side, placed one hand on the cold wall, and smiled slowly: "It's okay, I can still see some, the rest of the way still depends on you."

Ye Ting responded.

They walked for a long time, making repeated choices and trying again, until finally even the monster in the wrong corridor stopped hiding and squatted directly at the junction of the two corridors. Its body was tightly pressed against the invisible barrier, so squeezed that it was twisted and deformed, and it stared at them with its deep red eyes.

Hostility, greed.

The saliva from the corner of its mouth flowed down its chin. Its half-human face was tilted to the side, pale with a mixture of blue and white. One side of its eye socket had a wound squeezed out from the force, and dark red blood was flowing out.

The blood flowed into the monster's mouth. It sniffed the bloody smell and chewed it with nothing in its mouth.

"Click, click, click."

The sound makes one's bones ache.

Ye Ting and the others kept walking forward, and they could no longer tell how many choices they were faced with.

The monster on Lin Han's back was almost solidified, and the monsters on their bodies finally revealed their shapes.

Everyone carries a "person" on his back.

The corridor was filled with the crying and chewing sounds of a child in the disguise of the unsuccessful monster.
