Third floor, mission area.

When Lu Cai entered here, the gate was just closed and many players came out from the dungeon area, complaining one after another.

She took advantage of the chaos to blend in and took the opportunity to observe her surroundings.

The layout here is also simple. Opposite the entrance is the dungeon area, which is equipped with an automatic sensing glass door. A huge display screen is installed on the top of the door frame, constantly refreshing the player's name and player data.

That display screen was probably the ranking list. Judge Lu took a closer look and it seemed to be divided into two lists: the points list and the time list.

Facing the entrance and exit, on the left is the points redemption window, and on the right is the copy registration and settlement window.

In the middle is a large waiting area with seats.

After sitting in the waiting area for a while, everyone around me was discussing why the account was suddenly closed. Some were even considering whether to go in and try a dungeon.

"What props did you use?" A boy next to her suddenly asked her, "I can't even see your player mark—"

Lu Cai remained silent. “I doubt you could see that… It would be wrong to say more.” She decided to shut up and ignore him.

"What's your name? How many copies have you cleared?" the boy continued to ask.

Lu Cai was annoyed by the questions and simply closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair to rest.

A burst of laughter came from one side, and the boy also argued with them angrily.

[Qin Yu: Lu Cai?]

Lu Cai was shocked. She didn't expect Qin Yu to contact her first.

[Lu Cai: I’m here.]

[Qin Yu: How are you?]

[Lu Cai: I just left the dungeon world and am now on the third floor.]

[Qin Yu: Have you left the dungeon world?]

[Lu Cai: It’s amazing, isn’t it? I don’t know what’s going on.]

[Qin Yu: Is this a zombie instance?]

I didn't understand what Qin Yu meant for a moment.

[Lu Cai: That’s right.]

[Qin Yu: But this instance has already ended three days ago.]

[Lu Cai: What do you mean?]

[Qin Yu: Three days ago, all players of 'Return of Doom' returned to the Domain Community.]

She was three whole days behind them? Lu Cai thought of the mysterious man she met when she left the dungeon.

Could it be that I was delayed for three days because I was stuck in that space?

"drop--"

The sound of the door opening was heard, and the crowd gasped in fear.

"It's the scavenger!" a girl screamed almost crazily.

Cai Lu raised his eyebrows. Scavenger?

She turned her head and cast her gaze towards the slowly opening automatic iron gate. Standing outside were two men, one in a navy blue long gown, the other in a riveted leather jacket and trousers. The two men standing together looked particularly strange.

He was in his twenties, his hair neatly combed, his face clean, and he looked like a storyteller from the Republican era. The man in the studded leather jacket looked a little younger than his long gown, his face painted with smoky makeup, and the sight of all the studs on his body gave her a panic attack.

The moment they entered the room, both of them turned their gazes towards her, and time stood still for a moment——

Lu Cai stood up and ran towards the dungeon passage.

A white string pierced through her left wrist, blood splattered on the seat, and several people on the side screamed in fear.

The rope tugged at her wrist, and she fell to the ground, bleeding and in agony. Then the rope pulled her towards the gate.

"It's always my left hand that gets hurt!" Lu Cai couldn't help but complain, looking at the protective bandage on his right arm. He resigned himself to his fate and turned over to grab the seat on one side. He painfully wrapped his left hand around the string a few times and grabbed it.

She tugged at the rope, holding on, slowly dragging it back, and stood up. She saw clearly that the man in the long gown was controlling the rope.

"Is the gentleman with red eyes and black windbreaker okay?" Lu Cai laughed. His pale face, dark eyes, and a hint of sarcasm, coupled with blood on his hands, made him look a little crazy.

The expressions of both of them changed suddenly.

That red-eyed man in black is truly a scavenger... Lu Cai couldn't help but feel disappointed. He fought to the death, but in the end, she was just trash to be cleaned up...

The Rivet Man's face was dark and ugly, and he seemed very angry. He raised his hand and dozens of small metal rivets fell to the ground with a clatter.

The rivets seemed to come alive, rustling along the ground as they rushed towards her.

It is always said that "little devils are difficult to deal with". Looking at the rivets all over the floor, Lu Cai believed that this thing was more troublesome than the rope on his wrist.

Seeing that the rivet was within reach, Cai Lu used his knee to support the seat fixing point and wrapped the rope with his right hand.

He pinched the string in his palm, rubbing his blood into it, staining the white rope beneath his hand crimson. Slowly, the red spread from his palm.

Under the pale light of the long tube lamp, red quickly rushed along the long rope towards the man in the long gown at the other end of the rope.

The man in the long gown frowned, raised his hand and pulled, the rope broke in the middle, the white end was taken away by him, and the red rope hung to the ground.

Lu Cai smiled and swept the red rope. The rivets were knocked to pieces and the parts that touched the rope were dyed red, just like a candied haws wrapped in thick syrup.

She raised the red rope in her hand and swung it violently like a horse whip. The rope scraped against the ceiling and shaved off a layer of white lime from the stone.

He shrank his head, and only then did he slow down his movements after hearing the terrified shouts around him. The red rope fell, and Rivet stood up unsteadily, rushing towards the two people at the door, as if he couldn't distinguish friend from foe.

Cai Lu waved the red rope again, passing it in front of the two men, preventing them from moving forward.

Finally, she grasped the red string and yanked it, and it fell from her hand. Her wrist felt like it was cramping and her entire arm went numb.

She stood up and jumped on the seat to avoid the rustling wind behind her.

Finally, she jumped off the seat. The glass door opened when it sensed someone was there, and she was about to sprint in at a faster pace.

A gust of wind came sweeping across, Lu Cai dodged it, and saw a man in a dark blue robe coming towards her.

Lu Cai could only block punches and kicks instinctively, not to mention the injury on his left arm. This arm had been healed and then disabled, disabled and then healed again, and now he seemed to have gotten used to the semi-disabled state. Even though his perception had not yet recovered, he was extremely agile in a fight and never held back.

Lu Cai clenched his right fist and struck fiercely. The opponent raised his hand and grasped it, but the force of her fist did not decrease, and it fell straight down to his chest through his palm.

The man in the navy blue gown staggered back a few steps and finally found his balance, but Lu Cai was gone.

......

Lu Cai ran all the way. Behind the glass door was a corridor with bright lights, but many people were walking from the corner, and it seemed that they had just come out of the dungeon.

She ran against the flow of people, and soon she heard screams behind her, and someone shouted "The scavengers are coming."

He ran faster and a rope came straight at him. Lu Cai dodged sideways and stepped on something smooth and soft. He lost his balance and fell backwards.

Holy crap! It never rains but it pours. My bad luck has reached my limit, so I fell down while running for my life!

She fumbled around and came across a package of flour the size of a salt packet. The upper right corner had been opened and white flour was falling out.

Whoever is seriously ill throws flour in the middle of the road!

The sound of chasing footsteps approached, and Lu Cai raised the flour bag, and a large amount of white flour flew onto the other party's face, forcing them to stop in their tracks.

Taking advantage of the gap, she quickly got up and ran towards the corner.

Among the players hiding to the side, someone sighed, "That was 'unlimited glutinous rice flour', right?"

"I've heard that limited-edition items randomly drop in community areas, but this is the first time I've seen it—" someone responded, "Who is this person? How lucky is he?"

Someone snorted coldly: "Do you think being chased by scavengers is good luck?"

"Being chased and beaten by two scavengers, and still alive, isn't that considered lucky?"

......

Lu Cai ran around the corner and saw an empty hall. There was a long row of doorways in the hall, and the door frames of each doorway looked like the security gates at an airport or train station.

A protective line was drawn in the middle. To the left, red lights lit up on the doorframes, and players emerged one after another. To the right, green lights lit up, and groups of people stood outside, waiting to enter.

She saw an empty doorway with a green light and rushed in without thinking.

"Hey, little girl!" A middle-aged woman in a red volunteer vest chased to the doorway. "It's obvious you're late! You didn't even get your ID checked. You'll be crying when you get out without any points..."

Lu Cai ran into the door frame and fell into darkness. She slowed down and was pushed backward by a force. Just as she was filled with fear, she fell onto a soft seat and the flour bag she was holding in her hand disappeared.

"Lu Cai——"

A strange female voice called her softly.

"Lu Cai! Wake up—"

She suddenly opened her eyes and saw the pale yellow car curtains. A girl beside her was gently rocking her.

"Are you okay?" the girl breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Cai found himself on a long-distance bus. The bus was empty except for himself and the girl beside him. She opened the curtains and saw many tourists standing outside the bus, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She turned her gaze to the girl beside her. She was very pretty, with a round face, thin eyebrows, a straight nose, and a small cherry mouth. However, her makeup was too heavy, adding a bit of vulgarity.

Not to mention that the girl was wearing a mature black dress - a black tube top jacket, a black gauze long-sleeved jacket that was better than nothing, and a knee-length black skirt.

She is pretty, but the girl's appearance and temperament are cute, and she is young, so she looks like a child who has stolen adult clothes.

Seeing that Lu Cai's eyes were vacant, as if he hadn't woken up yet, the girl covered her mouth and laughed: "Are you here to play or to sleep?"

Lu Cai gave a perfunctory smile and followed the girl out of the car.

"Chen Yina!"

The girl who led Lu Cai out of the car stopped and looked back in the direction of the voice. A tall girl approached.

Cai Lu was shocked by the tall girl's outfit. She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. She wore a leopard print short-sleeved shirt that exposed her navel and waist, a miniskirt that just covered her thighs, black stockings wrapped around her slender legs, and a pair of black high heels on her feet.

For some reason, Cai Lu felt a surge of anger when he saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl dressed like this.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with girls dressing up beautifully. Perhaps it was because girls of this age could easily stimulate her older sister's heart.

Thinking of this, she was the first to be stunned.

In Zhao Manman's memories, Lu Cai was her sister. But Lu Cai didn't even have the time to calm down and recall these things.

"Ling Fei, don't cause trouble!" Chen Yina replied coldly, pulling Lu Cai's arm and walking towards the station.

Lu Cai was being dragged away and saw a girl with a baby face and a bun-like hair walking out from behind Ling Fei.

The girl wore large, round glasses with exaggerated black and red stripes, almost covering half her face. She was wearing a thin, round-neck, lake blue sweatshirt covered in black graffiti. Some of the graffiti resembled Sanskrit, some looked like talismans, and some were strange symbols...

Above the girl's head is a green system frame.

Player!

Lu Cai quickly copied the text instructions in the player's system and was then dragged away by Chen Yina.

"I don't know what's going on with Ling Fei. She just came out for a trip and dressed up like that!" Chen Yina said in a somewhat depressed tone.

Cai Lu felt that she didn't sound like she was blaming him, but rather like she was envious, and he didn't know what to say for the moment.

"Who is that girl following behind Ling Fei?"

Chen Yina looked at Lu Cai in surprise: "Are you okay? That's Yue Xiaoyan! Our classmate—" She added hesitantly, "Ling Fei's little follower!"

Lu Cai finally realized that he was probably Chen Yina's little follower.

The two squeezed out of the crowded bus station exit, waited until they reached the door, and stood in the square waiting for the bus. Chen Yina saw someone and waved quickly.

Cai Lu looked in the direction where he saw two particularly eye-catching luxury cars parked.

"Duan Ce!" Chen Yina smiled brightly and threw herself directly into the arms of a tall and thin boy.

From his hairstyle to his clothes, from his accessories to his shoes, everything about him revealed his nouveau riche temperament. His rather handsome face also had a kind of arrogant and foolish look.

Lu Cai frowned and looked at Chen Yina putting her arms around Duan Ce's waist. The two of them were laughing and almost kissed each other.

After playing with the girl in his arms for a while, Duan Ce looked up at the girl with a stern face. The girl looked about seventeen or eighteen, and some people would believe she was nineteen or twenty. She had short hair, black overalls, and looked poor no matter how you looked at her.

What's even more exaggerated is that she actually has a white bandage wrapped around her arm——

Duan Ce raised his eyebrows. He knew of course that this was Chen Yina's follower. He had no presence in the class before. When he was pursuing Chen Yina, he actually asked someone to please this follower.

But when they met today, he only felt an oppressive and fierce aura coming from Lu Cai.

No one paid any attention to Lu Cai. She watched the young couple walk towards the luxury car and followed them slowly.

There were three boys next to the car, one fat, one thin, and one tall.

He is tall, with short, smooth hair, clean, fresh features, and a healthy wheat-colored skin. Judging from his appearance alone, he is not a stunningly handsome guy, but his faint smile gives people a comfortable and distant feeling.

Lu Cai immediately recognized him as a player, simply because of his outfit: a black shirt, black trousers, and a clean white coat draped over it.

No one finds it strange to dress like this. If you are not a player, who would get such treatment...

"Duan Ce!" A familiar yet artificial female voice came from behind.

Ling Fei.

Lu Cai watched as the beautiful figure twisted and ran past the side, heading towards the young couple in front.

Chen Yina's face turned ugly.

"Hello, I'm Yue Xiaoyan." The girl's flat voice sounded from behind.

To calm his frightened heart, Lu Cai slowly turned around.

Behind the lenses are a pair of brown eyes, calm and empty.

"Hello, my name is Lu Cai." Neither of them extended his hand.

Yue Xiaoyan pushed her glasses up, her face expressionless. "You don't have any player mark on you. Did you use any props?"

It seems that they are not easy to get along with.

"Hmm..." Lu Cai also put on an unfathomable look, but he was actually panicking. The scene of being chased was still fresh in his mind, and his wrist, which had been pierced, was still aching.

She just wanted to find a place to rest and recuperate first.

"Chef Lu! Let's go!" Chen Yina pouted and shouted angrily.

Cai Lu nodded slightly to Yue Xiaoyan and walked forward.

......

When they arrived at the hotel, Lu Cai got out of the car and looked at the old hotel sign. He couldn't help but think of the copy of the hotel introduction he had just read in the car.

Eight high school graduates organized a travel activity before going to college.

The person in charge is the rich second-generation Duan Ce. The other members include his girlfriend Chen Yina, his ambiguous object Ling Fei, his younger brothers Kunyu and Liu Jianfei, his cousin Shi Rukui who lives in his house, and his little followers Yue Xiaoyan and Lu Cai.

Among them, Shi Rukui and Yue Xiaoyan are the players in this game.

But the moment they checked into the hotel, strange things began to happen.

Oh, a supernatural copy...

As a nouveau riche second-generation, couldn't Duan Ce find a five-star hotel or some high-end, luxurious place? There were thousands of hotels, but he had to choose a haunted one...

With a long sigh, Lu Cai followed the crowd into the hotel. Sure enough, the moment they all stepped into the hotel, the door closed tightly.

Except for Lu Cai and the two players, no one else noticed anything unusual.

The hall was dimly lit, with the dim overhead lights flickering and casting shadows on the colorful floor tiles. The registration desk was empty, with no waiter. Looking at the old table and the closed, peeling wooden door behind it, everyone felt uneasy.

Finally, Shi Rukui was sent to check in. It seemed that this "cousin" was the target of Duan Ce's usual bullying.

As a player, Shi Rukui has a really good temper. Even when he is ordered around, he never gets angry and always speaks to people calmly.

He walked to the counter and asked, "Hello, is anyone there?"

"If you keep asking like this, how long will it take for me to stop asking—" Liu Jianfei was thin, but luckily he was of medium height, otherwise he would be as tall as a bamboo pole and look scary.

Liu Jianfei walked forward and raised his hand to pat Shi Rukui's shoulder.

After Shi Rukui went to live with Duan Ce, he was transferred to their class. Usually, Duan Ce bullied his cousin and even his two followers played tricks on him.

But today, Liu Jianfei just raised his hand, but before he could touch it, he tripped and fell on the registration desk.

"I'm coming... I'm coming... don't rush me!" The wooden door creaked open, and a white-haired old man walked out. He looked to be about sixty years old, with a hunched figure, and was wearing an old gray shirt.

"If the hotel hadn't caught fire and I really had nowhere else to go, I wouldn't have stayed here—" Ling Fei complained with a pout. When she saw Duan Ce turning around, the end of her voice rose in a coquettish tone.

Lu Cai looked up in shock. A hotel fire? Wasn't that mentioned in the plot description?

She turned to look at Yue Xiaoyan, her eyes dull and indifferent, showing no emotion at all. But the system prompt bar above Yue Xiaoyan's head popped up a new plot:

An unexpected fire occurs in the hotel you booked in advance. Although the hotel is willing to compensate for the losses, you need to find a place to rest first.

Lu Cai... So the system prompt is still serialized...

Shi Rukui completed the check-in formalities and handed the room cards to everyone. Because the single rooms were full, he chose one of the four double suites.

Chen Yina hugged Lu Cai's arm and said, "Lu Cai and I share a room."

......

In room 204, with the "beep" sound of the card swiping to unlock the door, Chen Yina put her hand on the handle and was about to open it when Ling Fei passed by behind her.

"If you don't knock on the door before entering, you'll run into a ghost—" She smiled and lowered her voice, deliberately making a long, threatening tone.

The door had been pushed open by Chen Yina, and it was pitch black inside. A cool breeze rushed out from the door, chilling their foreheads.

Seeing Chen Yina's pale face, Ling Fei laughed out loud: "You are too timid--" She swiped the lock and pushed the door open.

Seeing that Chen Yina was really scared, Cai Lu took out his room card and said, "I'll go in first."

"Lu Cai..." The little girl's voice trembled slightly, and she was so moved that Lu Cai felt embarrassed.

He pushed the door open and took a step inside. A cool breeze brushed against his ankles, and Cai Lu shivered.

As expected of a supernatural copy, the atmosphere is just right.

She walked to the switch and inserted the room card. The room lit up. It was an ordinary double room with two beds, a table and a chair.

The door behind her closed, and Chen Yina walked in with a sigh of relief. She walked to the bed by the window.

The room was too quiet. Lu Cai picked up the TV remote control on the bedside table and prepared to turn on the TV.

"It's too late. I want to sleep. I can't sleep with the light on—" Chen Yina yawned and looked at Lu Cai with a smile.

They had just entered the hotel at around four in the afternoon, and she was already going to sleep?

Lu Cai noticed that the light around her had indeed dimmed considerably. She walked to the windowsill and pulled back the tightly drawn curtains. A few scattered lights shone through the window, dotting the black night.

The timing of this copy is wrong...

"What's wrong?" Chen Yina also walked to the window, and their reflections were reflected on the window glass.

"It's okay, go to sleep." Lu Cai pulled the curtains back up.

Chen Yina nodded: "I'm going to take a shower--" She took her clothes and went into the bathroom.

Lu Cai didn't even take off her shoes and fell directly onto the bed. Since it was a supernatural dungeon, there was bound to be a lot of scary foreplay. As she listened to the sound of rushing water, she thought of Zhao Manman.

All players have left the dungeon. Has the world been reset? Has Zhao Manman come back to life? Is she alone now? Or is she accompanied by another "sister"?

His eyes darkened. Is the identity in the copy really just set by the system?

It's just a story, no one has anything to do with anyone else. Everyone is on the same stage, playing their own part. It goes on and on, over and over again.

Perhaps it is meaningless to look for her past, because at her core, she is still a string of code.

"ah--"

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped and a scream was heard!

Lu Cai got up and ran to the bathroom, but found the door was locked, so he could only knock loudly.

"Chen Yina! Are you okay?"

After knocking for a while, the door opened. Chen Yina, wrapped in a bath towel, rushed to Lu Cai's side and grabbed her arm tightly.

"There are bloody handprints on the mirror... on the mirror!" She was so scared that she cried.

Lu Cai looked at the steamy bathroom and walked in. Although Chen Yina was afraid, she followed her closely.

The heat was overwhelming, and the floor was covered in puddles. She walked to the sink, but the mirror was empty except for steam.

Lu Cai lowered his body slightly and looked up at the mirror from bottom to top. The water marks were clearly visible under the light.

Two rows of slender handprints, neatly arranged from top to bottom, were like a young woman climbing down from the ceiling, across the mirror, and onto the sink...
