Chapter 81 Hell Community

The moment Tang Xiaoxiao saw the panda, her mind went almost blank.

Reason told Tang Xiaoxiao that she couldn't use the medical kit on the panda so easily, but her emotions were obviously shocked.

Tang Xiaoxiao exerted a little force on the hand holding the white box and subconsciously took a step back to prevent herself from acting on impulse.

The black and white panda saw her retreat, and its wet eyes were full of pleading.

This was still a young creature, looking like a shrunken bear cub. It crawled down two steps from the hillside and accidentally rolled down several times, scaring Tang Xiaoxiao so much that she couldn't help but reach out to catch it.

But after taking two steps, she regretted it. The panda was obviously heading for the medical box in her hand. After the rolling trend stopped, it used its claws to pull the box with a clear goal.

Fortunately, it seems that as long as Tang Xiaoxiao does not actively use the medical kit, the effectiveness of this thing will not be realized.

Tang Xiaoxiao knew that this was intentional by the copy.

It's true that she loves giant pandas very much. Even during the most difficult three years in high school, she persevered by relying on the high ranking after each exam to exchange for a ticket to the Giant Panda Park.

This obvious targeting reminded her of the suppressed emotions that almost made her explode every time she went to the panda house.

"I'm sorry, Panda, I can't use this on you." She closed her eyes, saying this more to herself than to the panda.

This is a dungeon game, and the scenes of these injured animals are obviously wrong. Tang Xiaoxiao knows that this is not the time to be kind.

Is an injured giant panda necessarily more precious than an injured cat? If she rescued it, what would all her previous persistence mean?

Tang Xiaoxiao hardened her heart, grabbed the white box and ran up the hillside, trying hard not to listen to the miserable cries coming from the panda behind her.

When she went over the hillside, she saw a large number of injured animals around her, each one more miserable than the other. It seemed that if she could save countless lives if she just stopped, but she only had one medical kit. It seemed more like these animals were trying to trick her into using the medical kit than asking for help.

When she finally passed through those injured animals, Tang Xiaoxiao even felt a little numb.

She kept repeating in her heart, it’s all fake, it’s all fake…

Until she saw a big tree at the end of the lawn, an inexplicable feeling came over her.

Under the tree was an animal covered in dirt.

It was so skinny that you could almost see its ribs sticking to its skin. Its hair was dry and tangled, stained with blood. It looked like a white pony, but it had a pointed rounded horn on its forehead.

"unicorn?"

The three people in the other independent spaces discovered the animals under the tree almost at the same time and said the same lines in unison.

Compared to the scenes seen by players like Tang Xiaoxiao, who have low sin values ​​and high moral values, the other three people encountered animals that targeted their respective weaknesses.

Although Leo men hate cats, when cats block their way, they will just impatiently push them away with their feet and continue walking forward instead of kicking them hard in anger.

Bai You, who had turned into Catwoman, was repeatedly blocked by a group of burrowing marmots. She looked at the dirty spots on her skirt and at most gave a forced smile. She kept the animals blocking her way away and still did not kill them.

Not to mention Qiao Song, the animals on her side were not so much interfering as trying hard to please her. A group of furry guys kept circling around her, as if they knew that playing the victim wouldn't work, so they took a completely different route from the beginning.

It’s a pity that Qiao Song doesn’t respond to either hard or soft tactics. Except for the crow that dared to hook her clothes and wouldn’t let go, no other animal could get close to her.

In the end, the three people in the three spaces came directly under the tree without looking directly and saw the strange-looking unicorn.

Qiao Song had a playful expression.

"If I remember correctly, the punishment in the Knife Mountain Hell should be for people who abuse animals. Unicorns shouldn't be creatures that exist in reality, right?"

So what does this unicorn mean?

The animal under the tree didn't react to Qiao Song's words. It just raised its chin slightly and glanced at the red-eyed crow on her shoulder.

The black crow flapped its wings and cawed twice, and it was unclear whether it was scolding the unicorn.

When Qiao Song climbed up the hillside, the animals that had been sticking to her in front of her fell down one by one. This forest grassland seemed to have some strong level requirements. The deeper you go, the larger the animals become, and the smarter and stronger they become.

After Qiao Song came up, except for this crow that stuck to her like a scammer, no other animal dared to approach this place which was almost the end of the entire open park.

This unicorn was obviously of high status, and its body was covered in dirt and appeared to have wounds, as if it met both conditions for using a medical kit: either cleaning and care, or treatment.

At the same time, everyone standing alone in four independent spaces heard the unicorn's question.

"Now you can make a choice, clean me up or heal me?"

They have already passed the previous interference options and now only need to select a subject to use the medical kit.

When the player hesitated, the unicorn quickly said the second sentence: "If you choose to heal me, you will get a white medical kit as a reward when you complete the game and leave."

When entering the game, everyone has heard the system prompt "Epic item white medical kit", so the temptation of this promise is quite great.

But obviously these players were not fools. Except for Tang Xiaoxiao who hesitated for a while, the other guys decisively rejected the Unicorn.

The reason is very simple.

"When we came in, the clearance requirements were to help the small animals complete their work and use the medical kit with caution. It didn't say that we had to rescue any animals. You, are you not a customer of the pet medical center?"

Bai You lifted up her skirt and took out a special card from somewhere.

【The witch's domesticated black cat】

[Although not a witch, the black cat who has lived with the witch for a long time seems to have inherited the unique characteristics of the little witch. A pair of cat eyes can discover certain hidden truths more quickly]

"Although I don't like animals either, you have a unique smell of ghosts and humans." Bai You licked his lips and showed his sharp cat claws.

"Besides, I'm a big gambler, so I bet the correct way to clear the game is to fight you for two hours and hold on until the real staff comes back."

The unicorn in Bai You's sight seemed to sigh and stood up helplessly. In an instant, its muscles tensed and it instantly changed from a dry appearance to a monster with will-o'-the-wild fire burning all over its body.

"I didn't expect that out of the four people who came this time, none of them fell for it."

The Leo man in another space, as a violent maniac with blood on his hands, clearly smelled the bloodthirsty smell of his own kind, and started fighting with the unicorn early on.

After repeated consideration, Tang Xiaoxiao also rejected Unicorn's request.

Qiao Song had taught her that what the NPCs said in the game dungeon was not necessarily true. If one could not tell a lie, then one should start from the purpose and work backwards to infer the possibility that it was a lie.

The unicorn also wanted to trick her into using the medical kit, and even offered her benefits. Tang Xiaoxiao's answer was to take out a huge math book.

In the other three spaces, everyone was fighting with the unicorn, except Qiao Song, who took out a big hammer and leaned against it in a serious manner. It wasn't that the unicorn didn't want to fight with her, but it couldn't move at all.

As early as when Unicorn was only halfway through asking the second question, Qiao Song, who didn't believe that such a good thing could happen, directly dropped the net bag and hit him with a hammer, knocking him half unconscious.

"Next time you lie, you should disguise yourself a little more. The wounds on your body are obviously knife wounds. The name of this store is the Knife Mountain Hell Pet Medical Beauty Center. We came here to help the staff complete their work tasks, and you, you are obviously here to be punished, right?"

After she said this, some of the illusions before her eyes began to dissipate like bubbles.

Only then did Qiao Song realize that the place she was in was not a hillside at all, but a small hill made of blades. She did not do anything out of the ordinary when she climbed up before, so she could climb up as if it were flat ground.

The unicorn in front of him, hidden in the net bag, was just a skeleton monster made up of various bones.

This guy was struggling unwillingly in the net bag. There was not a single piece of healthy flesh on his body. To say he looked like a skeleton monster was simply because every part of his body that was not covered by the bones had been cut into pieces by the knife. Those wounds seemed unable to heal and could only continue to turn into pieces of meat hanging on the bones until they all fell off.

"Use the medical kit on me, I can repay you. What item do you want? Or soul coins? I'm the boss of another dungeon, I can even give you the green light to write a guide. You're a human player, right? Don't you want to know the way home? I can tell you all this information, I just want the medical kit, as long as you use the medical kit on me, please-"

The skeleton screamed and offered all kinds of tempting conditions. Qiao Song squatted beside him and watched the show: "A dungeon boss is in such a mess in other people's dungeons. You still have the nerve to write a guide for me and open a backdoor?"

The crow standing on her shoulder immediately cawed twice, as if mocking in sync.

Qiao Song also realized something was wrong at this time. After she revealed the true identity of the unicorn in front of her, the animals used as cover in front of the copy disappeared, and even the entire park-like scene returned to its original appearance of the hell of knives. But why was this red-eyed crow still there?

"Why are you still hanging on my shoulder?"

She didn't smell any blood on the crow, and the crow didn't look injured. Could it be a customer?

Having said that, Qiao Song had no intention of using the medical kit on Crow.

She had guessed long ago that assisting the staff in completing the two-hour task was the correct way to pass the level. After all, when she came in, the catwoman had said that the store was currently short of staff.

Qiao Song even suspected that the missing staff were deceived by this unicorn. After all, she not only smelled animal blood on this guy, but also human blood.

Aren’t the humans who can apply to be staff members players?

If the receptionist is a catwoman, then the guests are naturally animals.

Seeing that there were no other animal-like creatures around except a crow, Qiao Song sat on the hillside and heard the one-horned skeleton wailing behind him. He felt a little bored and did not use the medical kit distributed in the copy, but simply picked from his own toolbox.

I heard that crows have the habit of taking a bath. Since she had nothing to do, she took out a bottle of water, put the little crow in her hand, and said, "I'm going to give you a bath. If you don't want to, fly away quickly."

As a result, the crow rubbed its head against her hand, and then stood there obediently. Then Qiao Song sat in the only safe place in the middle of the mountain of swords, took a bottle of water and slowly gave the crow a shower.

"Be careful when you shake your hair, don't shake it on me."

This crow is quite smart. It can understand everything Qiao Song says and is also good at pleasing people. It knows how to rub its head against the palm of Qiao Song's hand.

Although the Knife Mountain Hell is hell, the lighting is quite good. Qiao Song can even see the colorful feathers of the crows reflected by the light.

"Little crow, you are quite pretty."

Qiao Song praised it, and the bird that had just finished taking a bath immediately chirped twice in joy. At this time, the two-hour working time was about to end. In the corner of the Hell of Knife Mountain, there were knocks on the door, and a human-faced bird flew in in panic.

Seeing that Qiao Song was fine, he said afterward: "I'm sorry, the cat lady at the front desk opened the wrong door. This location is the punishment area of ​​the Knife Mountain Hell, not the service area of ​​the medical beauty center. Great, you didn't use the medical kit. So, you can go with me to the next door to help the animals lined up over there with a bath and care. As compensation, you can take the medical kit home."

Qiao Song raised his eyebrows, it was indeed like that.

Soon after the human-faced bird flew in, a path appeared on the knife mountain. Qiao Song walked on the grass and entered the side door. Sure enough, he saw another shower area. There were many cute kittens queuing up to take a bath, and there were also small animals such as golden bears waiting to use bath sand.

Qiao Song thought about it and chose the small hamsters. He prepared to give them a bath early and then go out to wait for Tang Xiaoxiao.

It was quick to give the hamsters a bath, using sand to help them roll around, and then putting these little guys into a specific rest room. Qiao Song soon heard the reminder of passing the level and the reward props.

In addition to the medical kit that she did not use as an additional reward, she also received a blade from the Hell of Knife Mountain as a reward.

"By the way, isn't this crow a customer of your store? Why is it following me?"

The human-faced bird was about to take her out, but when he heard this, he didn't dare to glance at Qiao Song's shoulder.

"This is the guest's freedom and we have no right to interfere. You have completed the customs clearance and can leave first."

Although his tone was cautious, it seemed that he didn't want her or the crow on his shoulder to stay here for any longer.

When Qiao Song went out, the front desk was a little noisy, and it seemed that a bunch of people were queuing to enter the store.

"There are so many players in line, but only four can enter at a time. It takes two hours each time. It's too slow! I only need three marks to get out of the hell dungeon. Can you be flexible? Let more people in at once."

Catwoman's expression now seemed very unhappy, and she couldn't even maintain her professional smile at the front desk.

"No, you have to wait two hours before four more people can come in. That's the rule, meow."

Qiao Song just leaned in the corner, listening to the noise of these players, and finally discerned some useful information.

After the accident on the 4th floor of the Hell Community, for some unknown reason, every Hell dungeon building from top to bottom experienced some abnormalities, so the players who were eager to escape from the Hell Community took the punch-in slips, wanting to quickly check in at half of the shops and leave early.

Some players are still complaining:

"The easiest of the first nine floors are the 7th, 2nd, and 1st. There are so many people lined up here, why don't we go up first?"

His companion immediately advised him like an experienced person: "Others think so too, so there will probably be more people queuing up on the top two floors. The 7th floor is close to the bottom, so let's check in earlier and escape earlier!"

These people had no intention of lowering their voices, so it seemed that the change was quite obvious.

Qiao Song waited for two minutes and Tang Xiaoxiao came out. She did not choose a time-consuming beauty task, but it also took a little longer. When she came out, there were two guys standing next to her who looked very familiar to Qiao Song.

Without paying any extra attention to the Leo man and Bai You, Qiao Song directly pulled Tang Xiaoxiao out of the store.

Tang Xiaoxiao actually recognized the two guys. She tried her best to avoid contact with them and went straight to her sister Qiao Song as soon as she came out. Fortunately, they both had changed their faces, and the marked Qiao Song was also equipped with an anti-disturbance prop, so Bai You did not recognize her.

As they passed by, the Leo man even snorted coldly: "So this store is also excluded?"

The black tail behind Bai You waved: "There's nothing we can do. We can't use the divination cards. We can only use the cat form to smell the smell. But I think the other party must have used some special props. Otherwise, there is no smell at all. It's too strange."

She stared at the other two players who had just completed the level with them. Since she had never seen Tang Xiaoxiao before, she couldn't recognize her back, and Qiao Song's figure was also a little disguised, so it was not easy to tell them apart.

After leaving the 7th floor, Qiao Song went straight to the 9th floor. Feeling that no one was chasing her, she told Tang Xiaoxiao the information she had just obtained when she passed the copy.

"Something is not right in this game of Knife Mountain Hell. It is rare for this kind of game to have errors. I suspect that something big may happen in hell. The NPC's control over their own game is weakening. Those who have been punished seem to be escaping. We'd better hurry up."

Although Tang Xiaoxiao did not discover the truth about that area in the end, she did not do anything to abuse animals, so she relied on the defense of the two books to hold out for two hours. She waited for the staff to notify her to leave the knife mountain disguised as ordinary grass. After listening to Qiao Song's explanation of the true situation, she broke out in a cold sweat on her back.

"It shouldn't be difficult to beat this mini-game by force, provided you don't actively harm the animals inside, otherwise the grass could turn into a mountain of knives at any time."

After saying this, Tang Xiaoxiao, who had already noticed the thing on Qiao Song's shoulder, finally couldn't help but speak:

"Sister Qiao Song, what is this crow?"

Qiao Song didn't know either, so he drove this guy away. After a while, the little crow flew back and stood on Qiao Song's shoulder, as if it had recognized her.

"Let's play a new game later. He probably won't be able to keep up."

The two quickly passed the 8th floor which was filled with various refrigeration appliances and arrived at the door of the 9th floor.

This is the shop that Gao Chengcheng mentioned before where she would do business. She seems to be very familiar with the owner here.

At this time, several windows outside the store were broken, with the glass fragments on the outside, as if they were broken from the inside.

Qiao Song frowned and pushed open the door of the Youguo Restaurant.

The author has something to say:

The Seventh Layer: Knife Mountain Hell

Blasphemers; cruelly killing cows, horses, cats, dogs and humans. Those who commit any of the above two crimes will be thrown into the knife mountain hell after death, stripped of their clothes, and forced to climb the knife mountain naked... Depending on the severity of their crimes, they may "stay" on the knife mountain.
