Others start with a knife; Yue Ya starts by picking up a cat.
He knocks on his neighbor's door to borrow milk powder. The door opens, and a terrifying vengeful ghost emerges from an urn b...
The previous level was dangerous and tense, and the players' nerves were on edge the whole time. It was hard to get some peace, and even if it was short-lived, it was extremely precious.
They sat and chatted, their postures becoming more casual and lazy.
Twelve rested his hands on his head, a faint smile on his lips: "At first I thought Yueya was an NPC. I thought this exile land was different. Even the NPCs were very good-looking. I didn't expect that he was a player, and a very powerful one at that."
Yueya stroked the cat comfortably and said, "You're too kind."
Ke Ke frowned: "With your strength, and those awesome NPCs under you, you can't even clear the full-level dungeon. Is there really anyone who can leave this game alive?"
Yueya: "I have never been to a full-level dungeon."
Twelve and Keke sat upright, looked at Yue Ya and said in unison: "What?"
"It's just what you heard."
Twelve was puzzled: "Then how did you get here? You couldn't have gotten here by mistake, right?"
Yue Ya didn't want to explain too much: "I guess so. There is a place leading to here."
Ke Ke asked: "Where is the entrance?"
“It’s gone.”
They both sighed regretfully.
Keke: "What a pity. I thought I could get out through that passage."
"You have really bad luck," Twelve looked at Yue Ya and shook his head with pity, "You could have strayed into any other place, but this treacherous hell. To put it nicely, this is the last chance given to us by the Lord God. To put it bluntly, this is the stage set up by the Lord God for us."
"We tried our best, fought desperately, and were about to leave alive, but because of one wrong step, we fell into the abyss again." Ke Ke raised her head and curled her lips coldly: "The Lord God is watching us from above, it must be very satisfying."
Yue Ya raised her eyelashes: "I can make him enjoy it even more."
"What do you mean?"
Yue Ya said calmly, "He overturned his stage."
Twelve and Keke looked at each other and both laughed.
Twelve: "You sound very arrogant, but I like it."
"I remember now," Ke Ke said, "I saw the ID 'Crescent Moon' on the player leaderboard. The upgrade speed is unprecedented."
Yueya asked her: "What is your ID?"
"Wang Ke."
Twelve took the initiative to say: "My name is 'Twelve Wants to Raise a Shiba Inu'. Ke Ke and I are ranked close to each other. You must have seen us on the leaderboard."
“Indeed I have.”
Ke Ke pursed her lips and said, "If we had been more careful and asked each other for IDs, we might have discovered earlier that Lao Ji was an NPC in disguise."
"The full-level dungeon is too big, and the time we spent together was too short. I really didn't realize he was a fake," Twelve patted his forehead, "After being eliminated from the full-level dungeon, our conditions were indeed very bad. It's time to reflect on ourselves."
Yue Ya said, "The boss can disguise himself as Lao Ji, or someone else, or even us. We should be more careful next time."
Ke Ke: "I agree. Don't fall into the trap again."
"Have you rested enough?" Yueya stood up.
Feifei climbed onto his shoulder, eyes lowered, and her expression was 90% similar to Yueya's.
"That's enough, let's get started," Twelve took out a handful of lollipops and shared them with them: "Want some candy?"
Yueya picked an orange flavored one: "Thanks."
The Ghost King immediately responded: "I want to eat too!"
Fengfeng and Baige approached Twelve silently and looked at the candy in his hand.
Twelve thought they were cute: "If you want to eat, stretch out your hands."
They held out their hands and each received a candy.
Ke Ke ate the candy and said vaguely, "Don't use repetitive words, it's corny."
Twelve: “…” What’s your name?
Yue Ya chuckled and peeled off the candy wrapper. The sweet orange flavor flowed between her teeth, which really eased her mood. Even the scarlet countdown was not so glaring.
[I want to eat lollipops too!]
[It would be nice if we could just relax and chat like this forever. After watching the live broadcast for so long, I actually hope the host can take off the burden and take a good rest]
[As soon as Yuezai stood up, my heart skipped a beat. A new round of challenges is about to begin.]
[I hope Yuezi can pass the level smoothly and join forces with Yunyu Zhuangyan in victory!]
Things may change after the break, but it never hurts to familiarize yourself with the layout beforehand.
The area here is quite large, with a total of three rooms, one of which is the secret room they stayed in, which is empty. The doors of the other two rooms are open, one is the dressing room and the other is the cloakroom. The hall is very spacious and is divided into a reception area and a photography area, with screens, lights, and cameras.
There are many photos hanging on the wall, which are obviously the photographer's masterpieces. Different from the dark photo in the secret room, the styles of these photos are either fresh and literary or luxurious and elegant, and almost all of them are portraits.
Yueya walked to the window and turned the handle, but the window didn't move at all.
"The window can't be opened, and I can't see outside clearly."
Ke Ke raised her voice and said, "I have a locked door here. We should be looking for its key later."
Twelve: "There is a letter on the coffee table, would you like to come and take a look?"
When Yue Ya arrived, Twelve had already opened the letter. There was only a thin piece of paper inside with a line of words written on it, so strong that it could be seen through the back of the paper.
"Dear guest, I will always pay attention to you."
The letter paper suddenly became a little hot.
"The effect of this 'oh' is comparable to the 'chimi' of the system," Twelve shook off the goose bumps on his hands, "It's better not to pay attention to us. We can't handle it."
After saying that, he opened the envelope and planned to put the letter back.
Yueya held his wrist and said, "Wait, there seems to be more words behind it."
Twelve turned the letter over and found another line of words on the back.
"Even in hopeless places, there is still hope."
This line of characters has a clear and handsome shape, in a completely different style. There is also a round smiling face drawn behind the characters.
Twelve stuffed the letter paper in place and said, "Yue'er, you have sharp eyes. This line of words is written so finely that there is no trace left on the front."
"There's light coming through, so I can see it."
Twelve nodded: "The sentence on the front is a bit like the boss's style, and the sentence on the back might have been secretly added by a kind NPC. The configuration of one good and one evil NPC is also common."
Ke Ke said bluntly: "You have to see it with your own eyes to know whether it is kind or not."
"Yes, it is impossible to conclude now."
[The break is over, players please be ready to break through. 】
[Congratulations on becoming the special guest model of Xinxin Photo Studio. Please follow the instructions and cooperate with the photographer to complete today's photo shoot to receive generous rewards. ]
[Let's start a pleasant shooting journey accompanied by light music~]
"Eh, woo, woo--" the shrill suona sound came out of nowhere and almost blew off their skulls.
Yue Ya rubbed his ears: "Is this the light music?"
Ke Ke: "No, this is music that sends people away."
Twelve's eyelids twitched: "This filming trip is really enjoyable."
[Redefining lightness]
[System: A little trick to break the player's mentality every day]
[It really feels like taking a photo of the afterlife. Are you the models specially invited by the photo studio to take photos of the afterlife?]
[If you want to take a perfect photo, you must be careful about the preparation. The first step before shooting is to put on makeup. The careless makeup artist lost the lipstick, so please ask the model to find it back as soon as possible. ]
【After finding the lipstick, the makeup artist will start working immediately. 】
Players also received photos of the lipstick, which has a frosted outer shell and a tender pink color visible inside.
Twelve slid his Adam's apple and said, "We're not going to use it later, are we? The color is a little too charming."
Yue Ya patted Twelve's shoulder and said in a heavy tone: "I have experience, it's not a big deal."
Twelve's eyes widened: "Why do you have experience in this area?"
Keke showed a smile that could only be understood but not expressed in words, and blinked at Yueya: "I didn't expect that, Yueya, we lipstick collectors can communicate privately~"
It's a big misunderstanding.
Yue Ya briefly mentioned the "special" mission in the Undead Dungeon before, and explained: "It's not a hobby, it's just an experience I had once."
After saying that, he looked at Twelve and said earnestly: "After going through this instance, you are also an experienced person."
Twelve: “…” I don’t need this kind of experience!
[I can testify that this is definitely not his hobby, but we love to watch (dog head)]
[It was an unforgettable experience]
[I smell a hint of trouble hehehe]
[Hurry up, hurry up]
"Don't waste time, split up and look for it."
"Okay."
Keke: "After the mission began, nothing changed in the photo studio. I paid attention to the placement of items and confirmed that I had never seen that lipstick."
"Search again, more carefully."
Yue Ya came to the dressing room, where there were three dressing tables. There were cold white light strips behind the mirrors, which illuminated the items on the tables brightly. The lipstick box was empty.
Yueya opened the drawer of the dressing table and blood gushed out, splattering all over his hands.
Yue Ya remained calm and called the Ghost King, "Come and drink your blood. Don't waste it."
"This blood tastes so-so. I don't like it, but for your sake, I can drink it reluctantly." The Ghost King came over and gulped down the blood.
"For just this little bit of blood, my colleagues here are a bit stingy."
Out of the corner of her eye she saw something flash in the mirror, Yue Ya stopped smiling and quickly turned around.
Fengfeng appeared behind Yueya and said in a deep voice, "Master, look in the mirror."
Is the ghost in the mirror?
Yue Ya turned her face back and didn't see the ghost. She only saw a line of pink words on the mirror: Hi~Hi~
It's easy to tell which lipstick was used to write this special color. Is it arrogant or polite to write "Hi Hi" on the mirror with lipstick?
Yue Ya took a closer look and saw that the words were written on the outside, which showed that the ghost was not in the mirror. That made it easy.
Yueya raised an eyebrow: "I think the lipstick on the mirror is enough for the three of us, why don't we let the makeup artist do the work."
"Swish——" A skinny hand stretched out from the gap of the dressing table, wiped the mirror roughly and tried to slip away.
Yue Ya was faster and grabbed the hand, but was pulled into another space.
Yueya's palm was pierced by sharp fingers and bled a lot. When he looked up, he saw a face covered with red stitches. The ghost stared at him with pupil-less eyes, her mouth raised high: "I tricked you into coming in, and you can't get out."
Yueya: "Since I can't go out, can you let me play with your lipstick?"
The ghost girl shook her head: "No."
Yue Ya smiled: "Look behind me and answer again."
Fengfeng and Baige stood behind Yueya with a few puppets, smiling.
The stitches on the ghost girl's face split open: "...Or...you guys should...get out? I'll...see you off?"
