Chapter 131

Only after passing through the mirror did Qi Xue finally accept that there was indeed a world behind the mirror.

"So, the playground's safe house is set up in a mirror?" Qi Xue frowned. "Who could have imagined that?"

"Yun Xi thought of it." Xing Ruomiao immediately raised his hand and said.

Qi Xue looked at Shen Yunzhe, who was sitting on the ground, panting. He seemed to be trying to calm his breathing. He was actually a little more nervous than before, like a school bully who had fought three dogs and only later realized he was afraid of dogs. His legs were shaking...

He thought about the things in the box, the civil war between strange creatures.

Well, you should be afraid.

"Yun Xi? How did you come up with that?"

It took Shen Yunzhe three seconds to remember that his name was Yunxi. Just now, he almost turned around to look for the figure codenamed Hope.

"There's a mirror in the bathroom on the first floor. It's not blocked, and I saw that what was in the mirror was different from what was outside. However, I broke the mirror on the first floor, so I guess I can't enter the mirror world, so it's not blocked either." Shen Yunzhe grabbed his collar to cool down. "Anyway, I just happened to discover it for various reasons."

Qi Xue looked outside the mirror. The bathroom was very quiet. At this moment, a woman's face suddenly appeared in front of the mirror.

The woman's face was very miserable, half of her face was smashed, and only the wrinkled yellow tie at her collar could reveal that she was the waitress from before. She lay on the mirror and looked at them gloomily, and then looked for something on the bathroom floor. Finally, she roared and turned around and walked out of the bathroom.

"Rats, rats!" she roared hoarsely, "I must catch you rats!"

The waiter disappeared completely, and just when they thought nothing would happen anymore, the faint sound of a child crying could be heard.

There was also an indistinct whisper mixed in with the crying.

“Uncle Wang…the bad guy, Lili didn’t defeat the bad guy.”

"Uncle Wang, eat."

“Eat it.”

"Lili doesn't want Uncle Wang to be eaten."

Qi Xue looked at Shen Yunzhe beside him with a complicated look. He found it hard to understand what was going on. The strange creature was crying, but she was crying and saying that "Uncle Wang" was eaten. How did he coax the strange creature? It was crying just because it didn't defeat another strange creature?

Shen Yunzhe coughed and said, "Well, let's first explain the current news."

As he spoke, Shen Yunzhe told Qi Xue all the information they knew now, including the correct understanding and completion method of the main task. Qi Xue suddenly realized, and his eyes lit up. He was a veteran game player and knew that Shen Yunzhe's idea must be correct!

But this look of surprise only stopped when Shen Yunzhe said that seven players had to be sacrificed as food in the seven boxes.

Qi Xue's face looked grim.

"I'm a non-official staff member, but I play a lot, so I know a little bit." Qi Xue said, "Some games do require players to be sacrificed, but that's a terrifying setting that only occurs after the tenth game."

This is a game field where high-level game fields maliciously cultivate audiences. The more powerful the players are, the stronger the resentment they feel when they die. This is an indisputable fact.

"Then it seems that this is the tenth game." Shen Yunzhe said: "After all, we have never seen it before, and neither have you."

"Why?" Qi Xue frowned. "Not only did we not arrive at the playground at the right time, but now we've been transported directly to a difficulty level 10 playground. A large number of people here are new to the playground for the second time. They simply can't get through this place!"

"Could it be related to the disappearance of the live broadcast system?"

Shen Yunzhe held his chin and thought for a moment, "Do you think it's possible that the game venue is reorganizing the surprise Easter eggs and live broadcast system? That's why it's like this."

"The higher the level of the game, the longer the interval between openings. This is because players need to accumulate, and the game field needs people to wait. If there are not enough people, it will not open. So they just fill it with a lot of new people to force a wave of renewal."

Qi Xue didn't continue speaking.

Because it's very likely.

The lack of a live broadcast system and surprise eggs is a fatal blow to the game field. If the game field wants to attract more newcomers and get more media, it needs to quickly restart the surprise eggs.

This is the only weapon to attract people to the game.

At this moment, Xing Ruomiao raised her hand, "Um, can I interrupt and say something else?"

"explain."

"There's no cake." Xing Ruomiao stood at the bathroom door and pointed at Box No. 1. "There's no cake on the table in the box! Box No. 1's specialty! It didn't show up!"

Qi Xue was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly got up and ran out. When he arrived at the door of the box, he didn't see anything on the table.

There was nothing on it except for some tilted cans.

"I knew it a long time ago." Shen Yunzhe stood up. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt calmer.

Oh, code name Fraudster is not good. I do the work of a fraudster, but I am quite timid and easily scared and lack confidence at the slightest thing.

Qi Xue looked at Shen Yunzhe, and after a moment he opened his eyes wide.

"Because of what happened before?!"

"Yes." Shen Yunzhe nodded, "It's because of the previous incident."

Xing Ruomiao looked at this and that, "What are you talking about?"

"Yun Xi and I were in Box No. 1 before, but something happened there, so we separated there," Qi Xue explained to her. "Then we met the waiter, who came into the box and pushed out a cake."

"She took the cake away."

"No way!" Xing Ruomiao's face turned pale. "Let's not talk about how to find this cake. I remember those waiters kept saying how delicious it smelled. I wonder if the four of them shared the cake!"

"Even if I eat it, I have to dig it out of their stomachs." Shen Yunzhe said, "I don't want to make a new cake at all."

Xing Ruomiao squatted down and asked, "What should we do now? Should we go find some cake?"

"We need to find the cake, but there are only three of us." Shen Yunzhe said, "One person will go find the cake, and the rest will go find other players. Gather all the players in the mirror world. At least we need to remove the black cloth from all the mirrors first."

Qi Xue nodded, "Yes, this is very important. Only when the mirror is opened can we get the special dishes from the mirror world."

"And as soon as possible."

Xing Ruomiao thought about it and understood.

The cake was pushed away by the waiter. They didn't know anything at the beginning so there was nothing they could do. They could go look for the cake, but they couldn't let this happen again. They had to open all the mirrors as soon as possible so that they could take away the special dishes as soon as they appeared.

There are other players, and they can control when the specials appear only if all players enter the mirror world.

As for the fact that the special dish requires a player to die... we'll talk about it later.

"Qi Xue, go find other players and enter from Box 4. It's most likely empty right now." Shen Yunzhe said, "You're the most experienced player here, so they'll naturally trust you more. Xing Ruomiao, cooperate with Qi Xue and observe the waiters' positions. Don't let them disturb Qi Xue."

Qi Xue and Xing Ruomiao nodded, this was indeed the most reasonable arrangement.

"I'll go look for the cake, but I'm not sure if I can find it." Shen Yunzhe glanced outside. "It will take three hours to come back after leaving the mirror world. We have to complete the mission within these three hours."

Xing Ruomiao was a little worried, "Yunxi, is it really okay for you to find the cake by yourself?"

"It's okay, I have a way." Shen Yunzhe nodded, "Don't worry about me, go find other players first. If there are players who have entered other boxes and are in danger of their lives, try to get rid of the black cloth as soon as possible."

"You guys go first. I need to plan a route to find the cake."

The three of them looked at each other, Qi Xue and Xing Ruomiao left box number one and went to box number four to look for players, only Shen Yunzhe stayed where he was.

"System." Shen Yunzhe walked towards the bathroom. When she came in, she heard the little girl's continued crying. "To what extent is Codename Fraudster attracted to strange objects? Can it be removed?"

[How can a heartthrob be turned into a heartthrob just by saying one sentence? Especially since you have the erosion buff.]

Shen Yunzhe understood.

The code-named Fraudster is a super ghost fan in the eyes of weird creatures!

What kind of male protagonist is this in a supernatural novel!

"It's all been used." Shen Yunzhe breathed a sigh of relief, "Then we should make use of it!"

"Relax, relax." Shen Yunzhe comforted himself, then climbed onto the sink and looked into the mirror. When he opened his eyes again, he heard the crying getting louder.

Shen Yunzhe jumped down from the sink and walked out of the bathroom slowly. This time he didn't wear sunglasses, so he could clearly see the little girl sitting on the ground. Unlike before, this time the little girl's clothes were dirty, her beautiful little red shoes had fallen off, and her hair was much more messy.

"Uncle Wang, I'm sorry, Lili lost and Uncle Wang was eaten." She was still crying.

Shen Yunzhe sighed, walked over and squatted in front of the little girl, "Lili?"

"Why are you crying?"

The little girl looked at Shen Yunzhe blankly, then threw herself into Shen Yunzhe's arms. She was not a living person so her whole body was cold. Shen Yunzhe was frozen for a moment, but Shen Yunzhe did not let go. Instead, he reached out and hugged her.

"Lili?"

"Uncle Wang wasn't eaten!" Lili laughed, "Uncle Wang is still here!"

Shen Yunzhe let her go, then started to tidy up her little skirt, wiped the dust off her face, helped her braid her hair, and finally helped her repair her little red leather shoes. While doing this, Shen Yunzhe sighed that he really knew everything, even how could he repair shoes.

What on earth did the codenamed Fraud Master learn? How can he be a Fraud Master with this ability?

"Uncle Wang." Lili stood up happily wearing her little red shoes, "Thank you, Uncle Wang!"

Shen Yunzhe breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. "Lili is so beautiful, happy birthday!"

"Well, this is Lili's happiest birthday!" The little girl spun around. "I love Uncle Wang!"

"But why is there no cake?" Shen Yunzhe looked around, and said in a puzzled voice, "Every birthday should have cake. I remember Mom and Dad ordered a cake for Lili, but why is there no cake? Has the restaurant not served the food yet?"

"Cake, cake..." Lili thought for a moment, then lowered her head with a guilty look, holding her finger in her mouth. "I didn't know Uncle Wang was coming, so I asked the waitress to take the cake away."

"So that's how it is. Did Lili ask the waitress to share the cake with other people?" Shen Yunzhe said, "It's okay. Lili is really generous and a kind person."

He smiled and comforted the little girl, "The waitress must have a new cake. She told me before that she left a new cake for you, but she forgot to tell me where it is. Lili, do you know?"

The little girl nodded happily, "Really? That's great!"

"Lili knows where the cake is!"

The little girl skipped out and turned into a three-meter-tall black monster. Shen Yunzhe's heart twisted instantly. He took a breath to slow his heartbeat, then followed the little girl out of the box.

Outside the box door, a three-meter-tall black monster pointed to a place, which was the kitchen on the first floor.

"Uncle Wang, the cake is right there!" Lili said, "But there are some bad guys there, and I can't beat them."

"The bad guys are powerful."

Shen Yunzhe stood in the corridor on the second floor and looked down. After a moment, he spoke, "Okay, uncle got it. Can you go order another cake?"

"Okay!" Lili was very happy. "Lili wants to eat cake with Uncle Wang."

"Well, can you wait for me in the box?"

Looking at the three-meter-tall monster returning to Box No. 1, Shen Yunzhe breathed a sigh of relief. He continued to stand on the second-floor railing and look towards the kitchen.

To be honest, although he would occasionally turn into a three-meter monster, he really couldn't bear to coax a little girl to be his thug, especially now that the little girl was still thinking about him in every way and was attached to him in various ways. Shen Yunzhe was not so outrageous as this.

"In what aspects does this MAX charm lie?" Shen Yunzhe asked.

[A strange creature gets whatever it wants. For example, the little girl strange creature mentioned earlier, her parents and family are the most important to her in her basic settings, so when your charm is maxed out, you will be the family she desires most.]

"So... the boy in box four who said he liked me was craving a relationship that was even closer than just classmates? Is that why he was like that?"

【That's correct.】

[Actually, you can just treat him as a pervert...]

Tsk.

Perverts have no logic, but perverts also have desires, right?

But the only unlucky one is Shen Yunzhe!

Okay, let’s put that aside for now. The main problem now is how to get the cake from the kitchen.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in Shen Yunzhe's ears.

"You're back."

"Are you here to apologize? Are you trying to tell me that you don't actually hate me?"

Shen Yunzhe turned his head to look to the side, only to see the boy from box number four walking towards him step by step. Blood would fall with every step he took, and soon a line of bloodstains formed. He still had knife wounds all over his body, and the wounds were intertwined on his suit, giving it a messy look.

...like a zombie.

"That's what you were planning, right?" The boy raised his hand. On his wrist was the hair tie Shen Yunzhe had given him. "You also gave me a gift. This is the first time I've received such a gift."

"I like you so much."

Shen Yunzhe looked at him, thinking about something while trying to calm his heart.

Although he didn't want to take advantage of the girl in box number one, he was attracted by the strange thing in box number four.

Can you use it now?

[What a double standard, calling the little girl Lili, but calling him a weird thing, he doesn't even have a name.]

"Do you think I'm stupid? If I really call out his name, he won't be the one going crazy." Shen Yunzhe sighed, "I hope when he goes crazy, he might be even more dangerous than this playground."

The boy walked over step by step, his eyes fixed on Shen Yunzhe.

"Come and stay with me, come and stay with me."

Shen Yunzhe took two steps back and smiled at the boy.

"I can accompany you, but there are conditions."

The boy was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to react. "Conditions?"

"Yes, under the conditions." Shen Yunzhe said, "I want to eat cake now. I really, really want to eat cake, but the only cake was pushed into the kitchen over there by the waiter."

Shen Yunzhe pointed to the kitchen and asked, "Can you help me get the cake back?"

"As long as you eat the cake, I will accompany you."

"Cake, cake..." The boy looked at the kitchen where Shen Yunzhe was pointing. "Will you die with me? Will you be buried with me? Will you help me block their attack?"

"I will," Shen Yunzhe said, "I will help you block everyone's attacks and insults. I will protect you from their harm. I will help you take revenge on all of them."

Shen Yunzhe smiled and said, "How is it?"

The boy looked at Shen Yunzhe for a long, long time. He nodded and said, "Okay."
