Chapter 265 Crimson Mirror

The hotel lobby was quiet.

Before Xu Zhiyan could react, he felt his hand being pulled and touching something strange.

The scorching heat came through the cloth, and he almost used up all his strength to control himself from punching the guy opposite him.

Seeing Xu Zhiyan jumping away like a frightened deer, the blood clone that appeared as a tour guide didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all. It just thought that the other person's ears that were red enough to drip blood looked very cute, making people want to take a bite.

Feeling that others were curious but not daring to look, it could only hide the glances they were casting at it, and in a very good mood... turned around and left.

Now that it has changed its gender, it would not be reasonable for it to wear this outfit, and it doesn't like wearing skirts anyway.

"I'm going to change my clothes, wait for me to come back."

After the tour guide disappeared completely, Jiang Huaiqie slowly walked to his teammates and said hesitantly: "You...you...when did you get another one?"

He realized a blind spot.

Although Xu Zhiyan in the dungeon is unlucky, as long as his gender is not stuck, he will have one or two "romantic encounters" as long as he enters the dungeon.

Jiang Huai wanted to ask this question before, but he hadn't encountered any in the dungeons for three consecutive months, so he forgot about it. Unexpectedly, this time in the scarlet mirror, his teammates not only had a new version of "romantic encounter", but it seemed that there was more than one person involved...

This person was indeed beyond his understanding.

"There are quite a lot of people this time, two of them."

He looked at Xu Zhiyan doubtfully. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but remind him, "Didn't you do one before? That one looks... well, can you bear it?"

Although it was forced away by the guide's glare, Jianghuai Partridge could still see it clearly.

The girl who looked cute and lovely just now suddenly grew taller and became more muscular, which was really a bit scary.

"You're in the dungeon every day...Will Anonymous be mad?"

Jiang Huaique lowered his voice to a very low level in order to avoid the last sentence being heard by people watching the live broadcast outside the venue.

He firmly believed that his teammate was already in a relationship with Anonymous.

Well, although he has a harsh tongue, he thinks it's not impossible if it's a free love relationship.

"???"

Xu Zhiyan came back to his senses, his expression full of complexity.

What is this all about?

Why two of them? And why is Anonymous involved!

He wanted to defend himself.

"Jiang, this matter is quite complicated. It's hard to explain--"

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Huaique.

"No need to explain, I understand."

"...You know nothing!" Xu Zhiyan was furious.

In the live broadcast room, the audience can see more clearly than Jiang Huaique.

[Hahahahaha, male mom, don’t you know that there was a waiter who was also interested in Xiao Baiwan? ]

[Not just two, but three. ]

[Fuck, what kind of tour guide is this! ]

[She, no, it!! It just communicated with Xiao Baiwan, and suddenly it turned into a big cock! ]

[? ? Are you specifically targeting people from the perspective upstairs? ]

[Of course not! His skirt is [beep——] It must be the fucking [beep——]]

[…Wow, what on earth did you say above? Why is it all in code? ]

[No, I have a question [beautiful□□.jpg] Don’t you think this tour guide looks a lot like the beautiful wife in the Little Millionaire House? ]

[Emm, indeed, although their temperaments are very different, their faces are similar, one is a lazy goddess, the other is a young and beautiful girl, damn, now I may become a handsome big cock man. 】

[So what did the male mother say to Xiao Baiwan? Curious! ]

[I want to know where the beautiful eagle went. Why did he run away after just a quick encounter? Will he go back to the museum later? ]

While Xu Zhiyan and Jiang Huaique were talking, other players came to the hall one after another, and the two were forced to stop the topic.

A few more minutes passed.

The tour guide Bai Jin, who had changed his clothes, appeared on the scene.

Probably because he felt that he had the character of Bai Yueguang's childhood sweetheart, he changed into a set of clothes that were not resistant to dirt, loose white pants, and a pure white sleeveless tights, which not only outlined his smooth muscle lines, but also made him look even more sunny.

The long-sleeved sun protection clothing of the same color seems somewhat transparent from a distance, and inexplicably carries a bit of amorous feeling.

Seeing that all the players had arrived, it smiled, revealing two little fangs.

"I'm the tour guide of the Mirror Museum."

The bright and clear male voice makes people feel good when they hear it.

"My last name is Bai, you can just call me tour guide."

Xu Zhiyan just saw this tall and handsome guy who looked like Bai Jin walking over, but when he spoke, he turned out to be the tour guide who left...

He remained silent and didn't say a word even though his teammates poked him with their elbows.

"Hey, is this the tour guide who just spoke to us?" Jiang Huaique was shocked and his mouth opened uncontrollably.

"He... can he shrink bones?"

"My goodness, this is not just a change of clothes, this is a change of person! I remember that girl just now was shorter than you? This tour guide must be two meters tall standing there, right?"

He stared at the tour guide and poked his teammates.

Xu Zhiyan couldn't bear it any longer, so he turned his face away and spoke angrily.

"This matter is more complicated. If you poke me again, I will stay in the hotel today waiting for 120 because of broken ribs!"

Shit, how was he going to explain this blood thing?

Fortunately, the tour guide Bai Jin still remembered his mission. He glanced at the players in front of him and his smile faded a little.

“There are a few rules that people might want to remember before going to a museum.”

As it spoke, it took out a stack of brochures from somewhere.

The players looked at each other, then stepped forward to take it and looked at it carefully.

"It's not even half past six yet, and it looks like everyone hasn't had breakfast yet, so let's meet at the sculpture at the entrance at half past seven."

As the tour guide Bai Jin spoke dutifully, a small flag inexplicably appeared in his hand.

It waved its little flag and smiled brightly.

"Only those with flags can enter the museum."

As soon as the words fell, all the players found that their task prompts had been refreshed.

[Task 3: Visit the Mirror Museum]

…

[New Tip 3: Follow the guide's instructions and remember not to violate the rules on the promotional page. ]

[New Tip 4: Your flag is with your companions. Ask for it. They will give you the flag, but in return, you need to promise them one thing.]

The originally vague task becomes richer with the continuous addition of hints.

The players' expressions were not very good.

Previously, communication between almost everyone and their fellow travelers was very painful.

The hall was silent for a while.

The Joker left first, followed by the Astrologer.

Soon, the rest of the players also went upstairs one after another, intending to ask their companions for the flag.

Only when Xu Zhiyan was about to leave, someone grabbed his wrist.

"I can give you my flag."

The sunny and cheerful tour guide Bai Jin squinted and smiled.

Facing the worried gazes of his teammates, Xu Zhiyan signaled with his eyes that Jiang Huaique and others should go first, and he stayed in the hotel lobby.

"Bai - Tour guide, you..."

"You can call me Brother Bai, or Brother."

“…”

After hearing what the other party said, Xu Zhiyan's toes couldn't help but curl up in his shoes, and his hair stood on end.

Help! Someone save him!

Is the blood because it was cut too finely? Why does he speak so strangely and with a bit of oil?

In the end he chose a compromise name.

"...Guide brother, thank you for your kindness, but I mainly want to have breakfast."

"Great! I haven't eaten either, shall we eat together?"

"I'm going back to my room to eat. Oh, you may not know, I also brought my wife and daughter..."

Xu Zhiyan skillfully used his wife as a shield.

If only this guy in front of him could fight the slice in the room, he thought.

It’s a pity that the reality did not turn out as we wished.

The tour guide really couldn't bear the taste of slices.

"It's okay. It's still early. They should still be asleep. I suggest you order some hotel room service. Speaking of which, we can chat about astronomy while we eat breakfast."

Study astronomy for love.

The tour guide Bai Jin now has a strong desire to output.

Listening to the other party's words with a hint of laughter, Xu Zhiyan cursed in his heart.

What kind of astronomical knowledge of the underworld.

If he had known this, he would have said that his neighbor was dead.

Feeling Slice approaching, the distance between them shortened quite a bit. Xu Zhiyan turned his head away and said meaningfully: "I was thinking about some things in the past. I feel a little confused. Now I just want to be quiet."

As he said this, he grabbed the small flag from the other person's hand.

"I've accepted the things. Thank you very much."

Since the slicing operations are constantly going on, don't blame him for his main strategy of not taking the initiative or refusing!

Sure enough, after taking the flag from the other party, although the tour guide Bai Jin raised his eyebrows and was somewhat reluctant, he still let him go.

A few minutes later, Xu Zhiyan was standing at the corner of the stairs on the third floor.

Since he has already got the items needed to enter the museum, he will not go back to the room. Xu Xiaohua is a naughty kid who is not very reliable, so it is better not to take him to the museum.

While there was still time, he came to Jinsheng's room.

The Abyssinian cat with red fur squatted at the head of the bed, looking down at the human coming in, its pair of pointed vertical pupils full of disdain.

"Your master has run into some trouble, I came to get you some food."

Xu Zhiyan talked to himself as he added cat food and water to the cat. After he was done, he took out a small flag from the side of the cat bag.

This is the flag belonging to Jinsheng.

Thinking of the new task prompt, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he sat on the bed and continued to ask the cat questions.

"I'm going to the museum soon. Do you have anything to bring?"

"No? As long as there's enough cat food, that's fine, right?"

"Okay, no problem."

After a round of self-questioning and self-answering, he went through the process.

“Meow meow meow!!”

The cat couldn't stand it any longer and cried out anxiously.

Xu Zhiyan said perfunctorily: "Yeah, I will miss you too."

"Meow??"

Just when he finished the whole routine and was about to run away, something strange happened to the system backpack.

Suddenly, a bony hand stretched out from his pocket, holding up a piece of paper.

Xu Zhiyan picked up the note and could tell from its texture that it was sent by Jin Sheng who was trapped three years ago.

[Brother Xu! Why did I suddenly get a mission? It told me to go to the first room on the right hand side of the third floor of the museum and look for a cat-head-shaped mirror and bring it back to the cat. If I can't get it, the cat will die.]

"...Is it true that I can't escape the mission?"

Xu Zhiyan pursed his lips and said to the bony hand stretched out from his pocket: "Send a message to Jin Sheng and tell him that I will help him get the mirror."

After saying that, he took out the promotional leaflet that the tour guide had given him.

【Welcome to the Mirror Museum】

【You will definitely find a mirror that suits you here. 】

The promotional page begins with two sentences. There is nothing fancy and it even sounds a bit simple to read.

Open the trifold, and it is filled with photos of various mirrors.

On the last page, there were several messages written.

[Because the mirrors in the museum are fragile, we hope you will follow the following regulations when viewing. ]

【1.The museum closes at 5pm every day.】

[We will hire professional cleaners to clean after closing, so please leave before 5 o'clock. ]

[2. Although there are many mirrors in the museum, all mirrors are of one type only. No two mirrors are exactly the same.]

【3. These mirrors are very precious collections. Please remember to stay away from them when viewing them. 】

【4. Remember not to steal anything and you cannot take the mirror out of the museum.】

【5. The Hall of Mirrors on the eighth floor is currently not open to the public. 】

Xu Zhiyan's eyes fell on the fourth article.

He got Jinsheng's flag, so Jinsheng got the task to find the mirror related to the cat.

But this task clearly conflicts with Article 4.

The museum's requirements and the tasks given by the system cannot be achieved at the same time...

At this moment, the cat standing at the head of the bed with a proud look on its face jumped down, leaving a trail of footprints on the soft bed, and sat next to Xu Zhiyan.

"Meow~"

It let out a long cry, which was softer than before.

Xu Zhiyan turned his head and looked at the cat.

Before entering the game, due to his poor health, he had never kept a cat, a seemingly delicate creature. Now, looking at the other person's bright eyes, he began to understand why so many people like to keep cats.

He hesitantly reached out and stroked the cat's head, then stood up and left the room without saying anything more to the cat.

There is still some time before the gathering.

Xu Zhiyan wanted to ask other teammates if they had also received the task, but as soon as he went downstairs, he saw Xu Xiaohua carrying a small schoolbag and holding a small flag.

"dad!"

Xu Xiaohua, wearing a wrinkled little skirt, rushed over like a cannonball and threw herself into the arms of her cheap father.

“…”

Xu Zhiyan's face turned pale after being hit.

Damn, this kid is really energetic.

"Why are you here? Where's your mother?" he asked, panting.

"Hehe! Mom said she won't go to the museum later, and asked me to go with Dad!" Xu Xiaohua waved the little flag in her hand. Just by hearing this affectionate word from her mother, one could tell that the little girl had been corrupted by Mom's sugar-coated bullets.

"This is the little flag that Mom gave to Dad!"

Looking at the same small flag in the other person's hand, Xu Zhiyan sighed, took the flag in his hand, and asked in confusion.

"Did your mother say anything when she gave you the little flag?"

"No, mom told us to go back early!"

Xu Xiaohua shook her head and looked very well behaved.

Xu Zhiyan was a little surprised.

He repeatedly played with the flag in his hand but did not get any task instructions.

Strangely, the flags given by the tour guide and his wife did not trigger any tasks. Only the flag in Jin Sheng's room triggered the task. However, when he compared the three flags in his hand, he did not find any difference at all.

When Jiang Huaique brought Yu Xiu down to the second floor, they saw a scene of loving father and filial son.

"This copy is quite complete for you."

He couldn't help but complain.

"No, this is not given by the copy, this is something I brought with me. I spent 10 million to buy this B-level monster from the safe house." Xu Zhiyan tearfully created a new image of a fool with a lot of money.

Jiang Huaique was shocked at first, then questioned.

"Your brain was damp at the time?"

Xu Zhiyan could only nod in acknowledgment.

"Yes, the seawater in my brain came too suddenly."

Fortunately, the blood slice was love-brained enough, otherwise it would not be easy for him to escape from the scumbag setting.

Jiang Huaique looked at Xu Xiaohua's silly smile, then looked at her wrinkled clothes and her messy two ponytails of different heights, and finally couldn't help but re-tie the child's hair.

After dealing with Xu Xiaohua, the two talked about business.

Xu Zhiyan asked for Jiang Huaique's flag and also saw the other party's game panel.

[Mission 4: Mirror of the Companion]

[Note: Although your companions cannot go with you, they seem to have other requests. Please make sure you complete them successfully. ]

[Hint: The mirror that the companion needs is hidden in the sixth room on the left hand side of the fourth floor of the Mirror Museum. It is a mirror with two portraits carved on it. Please be sure to get it. If you can't get it, the companion will die. ]

When talking about the mission, Jiang Huaique looked hesitant.

"This mission... is a bit strange."

Putting aside the conflict with the regulations, just looking at the final result, if the companion cannot get the mirror, he will die. Isn't that perfect for the players?

Although the surviving players have basically mastered the way to leave their companions, there will be monsters outside the room at night. If the companions die, won't everyone have an extra room to use?

Yu Xiu’s is similar.

His mission was also to take a mirror away from the museum, the only difference being the style and location of the mirror.

Xu Zhiyan asked about the process of getting the flags and confirmed that it was rather troublesome. He then tried to swap a few flags and found that everyone's tasks did not change much.

"What are you doing here?"

Jiang Huai Que was puzzled.

"I have two extra flags. I'll see if I can sell them later." I don't know if everyone will go to get the flags, but what if someone doesn't get one? Even a small amount of money counts!

After talking about the origin of the flag, Xu Zhiyan decisively put Jinsheng's flag into his pocket, planning to find an opportunity to sell the flags given by the two slices.

"…What if your wife and the tour guide find out?"

Jiang Huai Que felt vaguely uneasy.

Xu Zhiyan patted his chest and made a promise.

"Impossible, I checked carefully, there is no difference between these three flags."

Around half past eight the three of them arrived at the square.

The astrologer is not there, and the clown is squatting on top of the sculpture.

The tour guide hasn't arrived yet.

There was chaos around the sculpture.

It was almost the same as Xu Zhiyan expected. As expected, some players did not dare to go back to the NPC to get the flag, and instead set their sights on other people.

Who would want to take risks when they can solve the problem safely in the dungeon?

"You stole something from me? Take it out now!"

"You said it was stolen? Do you have any evidence?"

"Fuck you, I've already accepted the mission! You're still trying to argue after I caught you?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I'll take the flag. You can figure out the rest yourself."

"Brother Zhan, let's forget it. We still have ten minutes left. Let's go back and look for it. I saw the tour guide still has it..."

There were a lot of people and the noise was chaotic.

The person who stole the flag happened to be one of the clients Xu Zhiyan met last night, Wei Guang, a member of the Undead Hunter Guild.

Last night this man complained that his companion was extremely strong and difficult to deal with.

Unlike Xu Zhiyan's sparsely staffed small guild, the Undead Hunters' guild leader was in the top 20 of the list and was said to be a nice guy with a large number of followers. There were also quite a few members in the guild, and several teams had been roughly formed to enter the dungeon.

Jiang Huaique saw Xu Zhiyan looking around with a frown on his face, and whispered more information into his ear.

"The Undead Hunters who accepted the mission this time are led by Yu Bai, the fourth leader of the guild. He is ranked fifty-ninth and is currently the strongest player in the dungeon besides the Joker and the Astrologer. She is the woman standing over there with her arms folded."

He didn't reveal the victim's information.

Infinite games are all about the survival of the fittest. Without power and protection, it is difficult for the weak to protect their own interests.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhiyan touched his chin and looked for a long time, then frowned.

"All we need is a flag..."

He has two extra hands, so it seems he can only make half the money.

Xu Zhiyan walked forward disappointedly.

"If you encounter any difficulties in the dungeon in the future, you can come to me." He clapped his hands to interrupt the argument.

As he spoke, a small white skeleton immediately appeared, holding a thick stack of business cards in his hand, and distributed them to the players present, ensuring that everyone got one.

After the things on the ground were distributed, the dedicated Little Brittle Bone even removed his bony hand and had the bony hand hold a business card and deliver it to the sculpture for the clown.

Xu Zhiyan raised the two flags in his hand. Instead of speaking to the people arguing, he spoke to the long-haired woman standing beside him with her arms folded: "Boss Yu, your teammates don't have flags. Do you want to buy one? It's very cheap, only 50,000 points!"

Seeing Yu Bai's expression was a little gloomy, he looked heartbroken.

"Normally, we couldn't solve the problem, so we just robbed it. Now, if we can solve it with a little money, your guild shouldn't hesitate, right?"

This is very straightforward.

Wei Guang came to steal because he was afraid of his fellow travelers. Even if the audience in the live broadcast room felt that this was not a decent thing to do, they could still understand it.

Now Xu Zhiyan has given a new option.

Spend a few points to solve...

This was a bit too fatal for a newly established guild whose president was well-known for his reputation.

As for why he asked Yu Bai for money instead of Wei Guang.

Xu Zhiyan is not a fool. Of course, the higher the ranking, the richer the person. It would be even better if the other party could have some idol image.

Seeing that Yu Bai was frowning and looked unhappy, he took the initiative to show friendly attitude.

"How about this, although Boss Yu didn't come to 3045 to rest yesterday, I think you feel very friendly. If you buy this flag, I will give you a discount if you come to 3045 to rest next time."

Xu Zhiyan is stingy.

He was even unwilling to say exactly how much discount he was offering.

After these words, all the players' eyes fell on Yu Bai. She looked at the player whose money had been stolen and whose eyes were red with anger, closed her eyes, and finally gave 50,000 to Xu Zhiyan, while explaining for her teammate.

"A Guang just now had no other choice. We would definitely be willing to solve the problem if he could spend money on it."

It was stupid in the first place for her subordinates to be caught stealing. She had pretended to be blind and had no intention of intervening before. Now was the time when the guild was recruiting, so she might as well spend money to buy reputation. However, this money was equivalent to paying out of her own pocket, and she couldn't keep smiling at all when she spoke.

"Boss Yu is right."

Xu Zhiyan handed over a flag with a smile.

The brief chaos passed.

The players were waiting for the NPC tour guide who had finally arrived.

Just when Xu Zhiyan was happily looking at the balance on the panel, a gloomy male voice appeared in his ears, and the voice sounded quite gritting his teeth.

"You sold the flag I gave you?"

It’s time for the tour guide Bai Jin to continue his mission.
