Top agent Gu Qiufeng was suddenly pulled into an infinite game. In the game, he had to rely on live streaming to earn points from audience donations to survive.
In his first world, he was bet...
Chapter 28 48h (11)
The mummy looked at her with a smile.
Although Shao Qiu Shui didn't know how he could see a smile on the face of a dried corpse.
The other person opened his mouth and made the shape of "found you".
Shao Qiu Shui felt that after several such incidents, she was almost desensitized to the trauma of her childhood. At least now she was no longer so scared that she dared not move when seeing a mummified corpse. Instead, she could spare some time to think about how to save herself.
Can't leave the bedroom.
Outside the bedroom, it looks like a mother and daughter getting along harmoniously, but who knows if it’s a monster acting!
After she gradually calmed down, she suddenly smiled at the mummy in the mirror.
"You can't seem to move me."
Shao Qiuguo said decisively.
She slowly walked to the mirror and pressed her fingers against it.
"Two-way mirror." Shao Qiushui said, "I have been spied on for so many years, and I have been trying my best to find out who is spying on me. How could I not know what a two-way mirror is?"
"You are not in the mirror at this moment, but on the other side of the two-way mirror. If I were what you call a 'peeping person', I would definitely peek at you on the other side of the mirror. All you have to do is stand in front of the two-way mirror and make deliberate movements to scare me."
Sure enough, as Shao Qiu Shui spoke, the mummy opposite remained indifferent, as if it hadn't heard her, with its two empty eyes staring straight at her.
"You want to scare me out." Shao Qiu Shui said to himself, "This proves that staying here is the best choice at the moment."
She smeared the mirror with the shower gel on the shelf next to it little by little, and the white foam covered the entire mirror. Shao Qiushui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm not going out. I'm going to wait here for Mr. Gu and the others to rescue me."
only……
Shao Qiu Shui gave a bitter smile.
She was the one whose life had always been spied on by the voyeur, but now she was turned against and had to experience the voyeur's perspective.
Shao Qiu Shui prayed silently, hoping that Mr. Gu could find a way to save her as soon as possible.
She wasn't sure how long this place would be safe.

The most difficult thing right now is that without the NPC death loop, they cannot enter the other world.
Yu Chiang said: "My item cycles have been used up, so I may not be able to help you."
Gu Qiufeng pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Do you know where the campus radio of Yucheng University is?"
"?" Yu Chiang was stunned for a moment, then said, "You want to..."
"It's just a surprise for everyone." Gu Qiufeng said with a smile, "There are only three people reported dead in this copy so far, and there are so many companions working together. How can we not let them know the truth?"
"We should work towards the same goal!"
Yu Chiang: “?”
Why does dragging everyone into this water sound so refreshing?
Gu Qiufeng remembered that in addition to the inner world he could enter when he entered the loop, every time he left the apartment building, the other apartment buildings on fire he saw were also the ones that belonged to players who entered the loop.
Theoretically speaking, if everyone enters the loop at the same moment, the time coordinates and space coordinates of the inner world should be consistent.
He may not enter the loop, but other players can!
Wouldn't it be better to just let them die and then go into the other world and find an apartment to rescue Shao Qiu Shui?
Gu Qiufeng clapped his hands and urged Yu Chiang, who was leading the way, to hurry up.
While Yu Chiang was feeling complicated, he also felt that such a chaotic personality was indeed something his senior would do.
Damn it, for some reason, he suddenly began to sympathize with the other players who were used as tools by Gu Qiufeng.
Yu Chi'ang soon found the broadcasting room. Gu Qiufeng gave a look and Feng He knocked out the other NPCs skillfully.
Yu Chiang: “.”
They are obviously the players who are being persecuted by the game, so why does he feel like a robber?
"Xiao Yu, don't feel guilty." Gu Qiufeng patted his shoulder, "You've already boarded my pirate ship... Bah, no, I mean, it was this copy that first overturned the table and persecuted me. I have a strong desire for revenge. It's okay, I don't want to have an easy life, no one wants to have an easy life."
Yu Chiang: "...Did you just say something about a pirate ship?"
Gu Qiufeng: "That's not true, how can you scold yourself, Xiaoyu."
Soon, they debugged the equipment, and Gu Qiufeng patted the microphone, allowing his voice to be broadcast throughout the campus.
"Dear players," he said politely, "or, dear exchange students from Y University, I want to discuss a cooperation with you."
*
In the quiet campus, except for the programmed mechanical NPCs, the key NPCs and players all raised their heads and looked towards the broadcasting room in disbelief.
A guy with a crew cut patted the girl with twin ponytails next to him and said, "Y-sensei, I'm talking about you."
"I know. It's so annoying." Without even raising her head, she said, "Fuck you, you only know how to play basketball. How dare you say that! You left me, an exchange student from Y University, out in the cold for a whole day... No..."
The girl with twin ponytails suddenly jumped up and hit the guy with crew cut on the chin.
The buzz cut grimaced in pain and said, "Miss, can you be more reserved... why are you making such a fuss?!"
The girl with twin ponytails stared at him: "What was that broadcast you just mentioned?"
The guy with the buzz cut: "I didn't say anything. I just said that someone asked you exchange students from Y University to go to the radio station. Is there something going on? Oh, no, I don't think you know where the radio station is?"
The twintails' expression turned serious.
She just heard it, but she didn't react for a moment.
The people in that radio station were calling out the "players."
"The existence of the player was announced to the whole school through the radio. This is a threat." The twin-tailed girl ignored the confused question of the crew cut beside her and rubbed her chin with her hand. "There is actually a madman in our copy. This is really difficult to deal with."
The fact that he could declare this to all the players on the radio with such confidence showed that he at least understood the weaknesses of the rest of them.
It couldn't be that I was just playing a harmless joke on them without any preparation, right?
Twin Ponytails didn't dare not go. Being cautious in the dungeon was not a bad thing. Even if there was a trap ahead that could be seen at a glance, she would go over and check it out first to be sure. She couldn't let others get the upper hand.
She easily lifted up the crew cut with one hand: "Let's go, lead the way."
She wanted to see what kind of lunatic was brave enough to expose himself like this.
*
"What if they are unwilling to enter the cycle to save Shao Qiushui for us?" Yu Chiang said worriedly, "Besides, we are outside the inner world, and our initiative is not as high as that of people who can take the initiative to enter the inner world of the cycle."
"We have no idea whether the people in the other world will really save Shao Qiu Shui."
Yu Chi'ang didn't think that Gu Qiufeng could be so naive as to believe in the brilliance and kindness of human nature.
Gu Qiufeng said: "It's just a proposal for cooperation. It's up to them whether they accept it or not."
Yu Chiang: "How can you guarantee that?"
"Of course, if he is not rescued, I will let Feng He kill him as soon as he gets out of the cycle." Gu Qiufeng said indifferently.
Yu Chi'ang was surprised and said, "But this doesn't seem to be good for them. Will anyone really agree to such a 'tyrannical clause'?"
"There are benefits. How could there not be?" Gu Qiufeng said, "Help me rescue Shao Qiushui, and I can achieve the 'perfect clearance' ending. This way, they don't have to continue to die in fear in the dungeon, and it's a painless win."
Yu Chiang pursed his lips, looking quite doubtful.
Gu Qiufeng knew that he had been in the game for quite some time, and his behavior of gaining the trust of others might seem very childish and naive in front of Yu Chiang.
"Here they come." Gu Qiufeng looked at the figure in the monitoring room walking towards the radio station.
He said: "The first player is a warrior."
Gu Qiufeng turned on the microphone with his hand, and his smiling voice could be heard all over the campus.
"Okay, classmate, stop here. After all, I'm not sure what will happen if you go any further."
The person who came was the one with twin ponytails and a crew cut.
The crew cut was suspicious and said, "Hey, why doesn't this sound like your teacher or classmate? You'd better not move. Could it be that some criminal deliberately lured you here to do something bad?"
The corners of the girl with twin ponytails' mouth twitched.
She turned her eyes slightly, and then saw a surveillance camera at the upper right side of the building's entrance.
So the girl with twin ponytails casually raised her hands towards the camera, indicating that she was not there to cause trouble.
At this moment, the guy with a short hair behind her suddenly cried out in pain.
When the girl with twin ponytails turned her head, she saw a beautiful and feminine boy appear behind her like a ghost, but she had not noticed it at all.
At this time, the young man easily held the man with a crew cut who was more than a head taller than him, and strangled his throat with one hand. No matter how the man with a crew cut struggled, the young man did not move at all.
What amazing strength!
Entering a dungeon does not enhance the player's physical fitness. The props and medicines in the mall that change the natural physiological state of the human body are extremely expensive and very time-sensitive. For most players, the cost-effectiveness is not very high.
Therefore, the strength displayed by the young man in front of him, which was inconsistent with his appearance, could only be something he naturally possessed!
The girl with twin ponytails gave a stiff smile and tried to deal with the boy: "I say, you are a player, right? Are you in the same group as the person on the radio? Since I'm here, it means I have no hostility towards you!"
The boy didn't say anything.
The girl with twin ponytails felt her heart tighten as she watched the man's face gradually turn purple.
My goodness, her life is closely related to this NPC!
However, before the girl with twin ponytails could say a second word, the boy with a crew cut walked into the building where the broadcasting room was located.
The broadcast sounded again at this moment: "Don't try to catch up. I can guarantee that your NPC is safe for the time being, but if you catch up..."
The girl with twin ponytails had no choice but to stop.
"Please be patient. We will talk after all the players are gathered."
At this time, Feng He returned with a full load, carrying the man with a short haircut who was knocked unconscious by him.
Gu Qiufeng turned off the microphone again and sighed.
"Why?" Yu Chi'ang asked, "If you kill the NPC, she can actually avoid you before the cycle. This is good for her."
"Xiao Yu, you are not too strong, so you have never faced a desperate situation, right?" Gu Qiufeng made a joke at the right time, "I am in a desperate situation now. How can I survive if I don't push myself?"
Yu Chiang opened his mouth.
He thought that Gu Qiufeng's appearance did not seem like that of a person trying to survive in a desperate situation.
"Whenever I'm struggling with math problems and still have no idea what to do," Gu Qiufeng said, "my brother always teaches me to think in reverse. To use the ending to prove why I got that result."
"For example, guess why that little girl is so afraid of our NPC holding her hostage. Because there is a very serious problem in front of her -" Gu Qiufeng paused at the right time, "Because there is a problem."
"If she had disobeyed us and caused the NPC's death, she would have fallen into a loop. She could have used the time and information gap to avoid the broadcast, or even tried to kill me in advance. But she found that I had successfully held her NPC hostage - this means that either she did not enter the loop, or she will never be able to enter the loop again."
"The countless timelines in the loop seem complicated, but in fact the ongoing timeline and the endings have been determined long ago." Gu Qiufeng said, "No player has tried to stop me from implementing this plan before, which proves that I must have done something to let everyone enter the other world and end this loop."
Yu Chi'ang was completely stunned.
He was an experienced high-level player, so from the beginning he aimed to clear the level using the orthodox method and defeat the NPC, and then came back to help his senior.
To be honest, this was the first time that Yu Chi'ang had seen such an unconventional way of passing a level.
For a moment, he felt as if something was wrong, but he couldn't really put his finger on it.
Finally, Yu Chiang could only ask in bewilderment, "Did you clear the last instance the same way?"
Seeing that his junior brother had been tricked by him, Gu Qiufeng said in a good mood, "That's about right."
"Well...senior, how do you plan to let all the players enter the other world?" Yu Chi'ang couldn't help but ask.
Gu Qiufeng said: "Feng He may not be able to defeat that group of people. But it is no problem to steal the NPC. I want to try, after sending them all into the inner world, during this period of time we can't actually see the NPC's death. Because we started the cycle, the NPC we see again is the first time we see it after the cycle. So what happened to the NPC during the time we entered the inner world? Judging from Shao Qiushui's performance, the NPC we are responsible for is special because they are the only one. After Shao Qiushui accidentally entered the inner world of the cycle, my cycle system collapsed directly."
Yu Chiang said, "Do you want to observe the appearance of these NPCs when these players enter the other world?"
Gu Qiufeng nodded.
The point at which the player enters the loop is when the NPC dies.
At that time, he would first find a few players to enter the other world to rescue Shao Qiu Shui and ensure Shao Qiu Shui's life safety.
Then he will take action against this group of NPCs, let them die and send all the players into the other world.
What happens next?
Gu Qiufeng smiled and said, "I'm quite looking forward to it."
After a while, the surviving players came one after another. As soon as they arrived, the NPC next to them was snatched away by Feng He before they were fully prepared.
At the end, Gu Qiufeng counted and found that there were still a few overly cautious players who had not arrived, and he felt quite regretful.
But judging from the situation, it has dragged on long enough, and Shao Qiu Shui in the other world may not be able to hold on any longer.
Gu Qiufeng opened the microphone: "Dear players, I'm sorry to gather you together."
"I think... maybe we can make a deal peacefully?"
*
Shao Qiu Shui has been hiding in the toilet.
Until the voice of the monster "Shao Qiu Shui" sounded again, which proved that she had returned home.
"Shao Qiushui" said: "Mom, I'm going back to my room to change clothes first, call me when dinner comes."
Shao Qiu Shui held her breath, and then she realized that the monster in the mirror that had been staring at her had disappeared long ago.
Oh no!
The monster outside who was disguising herself as her was obviously about to come in at this moment.
Shao Qiu Shui wasn't sure whether the rule that "staying in the bathroom" was safer than going out would apply after the monster entered the bedroom.
She bit her lip, anxiety rolling out all over her.
We can’t just sit there and wait for death!
Before the footsteps could be heard, Shao Qiu Shui opened the bathroom door and looked around, then quickly rushed to the window, opened it and looked around.
There is actually a little free space outside the bay windows on each floor of the apartment building, which is used for hanging clothes. Now Shao Qiu Shui is glad that this world is just a game copy. If there were anti-theft windows, she would cry!
Shao Qiu Shui climbed up from the bay window, crawled to the open space outside, and took a deep breath.
The cramped space could hardly support an adult like her to stand completely, and Shao Qiu Shui leaned back a little, almost feeling like she was about to fall.
The door moved slightly, as if someone was opening it from outside.
A trace of regret flashed across Shao Qiu Shui's eyes.
She should have found something to block the door, at least to buy herself some time.
But now it was obvious that the other party would come in soon and find her outside the window!
Shao Qiushui remembered clearly that the hooded young man had told Mr. Gu that he lived next door. If nothing unexpected happened, there should be no one next door in the other world at this time.
Or at least safer than the current situation with at least two monsters in her apartment.
Without thinking any more, Shao Qiu Shui held onto the wall, straightened his body, and tried hard to reach the edge of the wall of the apartment next door.
Big drops of sweat were beading down her forehead.
At this time, Shao Qiu Shui was glad that she had been practicing dancing since she was a child. Her body explosiveness and core strength were even better than some boys.
Shao Qiu Shui gritted his teeth, mustered his courage, held on to the edge of the wall with both hands, shifted his center of gravity forward, and swung over to that side.
She pushed against the wall with her feet, put all her weight on her waist, and squeezed onto the narrow window sill opposite.
Fortunately, the window was not closed.
Shao Qiu Shui tried her best to squeeze in through the window while she was still tired. When she fell to the ground, she even felt as if she had escaped death.
When I looked again, her hands were covered in blood.
Shao Qiu Shui began to cry softly.
She had never admired herself so much.
However, before he could relax, Shao Qiu Shui suddenly heard a knock on the apartment door.
It's not very clear here in the bedroom, it's a bit blurry.
One sound after another, in tune with the beat of Shao Qiu Shui's heart.
Soon, "Mom"'s voice sounded outside the door: "Hello, can I borrow some salt?"
Shao Qiu Shui's crying voice suddenly got stuck in her throat.
