Liu Tang was originally a law-abiding employee in the Myriad Mirror Garden.
Until one day, he learned from a guest that he was just an NPC in the "Hell Game," and all the guests were ...
Chapter 064: Cute creatures eating melons in the refreshment room (16)
On the other side, Liu Tang and the other two quickly left the Black Cat store manager's villa.
At the three-way intersection of the underground passage, we met Lao Cheng who was waiting there, and the four of us walked towards the refreshment room together.
Several people heard the arrangements made by Cheetah and others through the ears of the wall.
Fang Yiran took a deep breath, his eyes filled with hope. "Based on the pattern of the past few days, Bird Girl and the others will definitely continue to transport goods tomorrow night. So Cheetah should be able to catch them all in one fell swoop tomorrow night."
Lao Cheng looked at the favorability value on his arm that had climbed to "91" and whispered, "Just hold on for another day."
Mo Qianhe's expression was not relaxed: "I hope everything goes well."
Outside the police station, Leopard Woman stood alone under the street light, looking at the sparse stars in the sky, her eyes moist again.
Captain Cheetah slowly walked over at this time and said, "Are you okay?"
The Leopard Girl turned her head to look at the captain, unconsciously straightened her back, and answered seriously: "Captain, I'm fine. Next time, I will actively perform in the capture operation and will not bring shame to our team."
Cheetah smiled helplessly, turned his head to look at the building in the distance, and said, "I'm talking about... you and the bamboo shoots."
The Leopard Girl was stunned for a moment, then said awkwardly, "I have nothing to do with him."
Cheetah didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "You like him, right?"
The Leopard Girl looked at the captain in surprise, wanting to ask something but not opening her mouth.
Cheetah said bitterly, “I asked you to pretend to be my girlfriend and visit the store before, but you were not happy about it.
"Then I took it upon myself to go to the store with him, pretending to be a couple..."
Leopard Girl quickly admitted her mistake, even though she had already written a self-criticism yesterday: "Captain, I know I was wrong, and I won't act on my own again."
Cheetah shook his head: "You should review what you should review yesterday. I've already reviewed it. I'm not the kind of person who holds on to the mistakes of my teammates."
The Leopard Woman felt relieved, and her back finally relaxed a little.
The two were silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
The Leopard Woman was hesitating whether to leave, but she also felt that it would be too rude to leave at this time, and she was in a dilemma.
Cheetah took a deep breath and said, "Now that you know your feelings for him won't work...
"Would you consider me?"
The Leopard Girl had already begun to daydream, but when she heard this, she shuddered and stood at attention again: "Captain, Captain..."
The cheetah looked at the leopard girl opposite him and said sincerely: "I like you, Banban."
The Leopard Girl looked at the other party in surprise. She never thought that such an excellent captain would like her.
Although she knew that she was not bad, she always felt that the captain seemed to be an unattainable existence.
Cheetah shifted his gaze slightly and continued, "You don't need to give me an answer now, I just want to convey my feelings to you.
"I know it's not a good time to express my feelings, but the nature of our work means that perhaps it's not appropriate to express my feelings at any time.
“I want to give you a sense of security, to let you know that there is a place where you can rest when you are tired.
"That's it."
After saying that, the cheetah waited quietly for a while.
The Leopard Woman was still in shock from the captain's confession and didn't react.
Seeing that the other party remained silent, Cheetah took a step back and said, "I'm sorry if this has caused you any trouble, but I won't take back what I said."
Seeing the captain retreat, the Leopard Girl couldn't help but take a step forward and said, "No... It's not a problem... I just... need some time to think about it. After all, I just broke up and I'm not ready yet..."
Seeing the other party's actions, Cheetah felt much more at ease and said in a relaxed tone: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, we carry out missions together every day. You can take your time to think about it. When you have thought it through, feel free to tell me your answer."
"Yes!" Leopard Woman nodded seriously.
While climbing the stairs, Liu Tang listened to the gossip from Cheetah through the "Walls Have Ears" system. Just as he was enjoying it, he heard the system announce:
[You have been detected using the Boss's abilities to disrupt NPC behavior and change the fate of other players. You will be punished.]
[Penalties are as follows:]
[1. Deduct 500 exploration points;]
[2. In this instance, link your life status with the NPC Golden Retriever until you clear the instance.]
[Please take this as a warning and don’t make the same mistake again.]
[If caught again, there will be severe punishment!]
[No!!! My points!!! My hard-earned points!]
Liu Tang shouted in his heart.
Mo Qianhe's mind was pierced by his voice, and he quickly asked what happened.
After Liu Tang explained what he had done and the backlash he had suffered, he felt like the sky was falling.
After hearing Liu Tang's narration, Fang Yiran realized that he had used some supernormal abilities to save Xiang Xiang. He was moved for a moment: "So it was your contribution to Xiang Xiang's success. You really are a good person."
Liu Tang: "I'm not a good person, I'm a big jerk! A big jerk who gave away points for free!"
Fang Yiran: “…”
The players in the live broadcast room were all a little confused when they heard Fang Yiran's words:
"What do you mean Xiangxiang's clearance was due to his contribution? Who is this mosaic?!"
"You're just bragging! I watched Xiangxiang's entire clearance process, and there was no sign of any player taking action at all!"
"Judging from the reactions of Mo Pianzi and Fang Yiran, they seem to trust Mosaic quite a bit. He must have produced some evidence."
"It really ruins the viewing experience! So what does the mosaic say?!"
In the underground passage, Mo Qianhe rubbed Liu Tang's head helplessly: "It's okay, we've already taken care of it, so don't be sad. You can earn points if you lose them, but what's the point of linking it to the golden retriever's life status? Will the golden retriever encounter any danger later?"
At this moment, the black cat's voice came from Lao Cheng's side.
He seemed to be answering a phone call: "Are the guests satisfied with the little cutie who came to my house today?
“Yeah, I knew you guys would like it.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements. I'll perform live for you all tomorrow."
Then he hung up the phone and made another call: "Mr. Xiao Jin, I thought you might have trouble sleeping tonight, so I made you a cup of vanilla hot cocoa. I'd like to have the delivery person deliver it to you. Could you tell me your address?"
On Mo Qianhe's side, "the wall has ears" simultaneously heard the golden retriever flatteredly say his address and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, thank you Mr. Manager, I will definitely enjoy it."
The black cat's voice was low and magnetic, with a doting smile: "I just made it casually. If you like, I can make it for you every day."
Mo Qianhe's expression grew serious. He looked at the liar Lao Cheng and asked, "Do you think the 'cutie' chosen by the black cat is a golden retriever?"
Mo Qianhe knew that among their group of people, if anyone could guess Black Cat's thoughts, it would be Lao Cheng.
After all, they are both out-and-out criminals.
Lao Cheng laughed and said, "You mean what Black Cat meant by the live performance? What does it mean to do to the golden retriever?"
Mo Qianhe turned around and looked at Liu Tang worriedly: "This time it's going to be troublesome."
Fang Yiran was getting annoyed by the two people's guessing game, so he asked them to explain clearly.
Mo Qianhe didn't answer, but Lao Cheng was happy to scare the curly-haired boy in front of him: "Isn't it obvious? The Black Cat store manager abused cute animals through live broadcast to allow his customers to receive "special" viewing services.
"But the tastes of some perverts will become more and more extreme. One day, they will find that torturing cute creatures is no longer enough to stimulate them..."
Fang Yiran gradually understood: "They want to abuse their own kind..."
The corners of Lao Cheng's mouth curved even more sharply: "You're not that stupid either."
As he spoke, Lao Cheng looked at Liu Tang with some amusement.
He couldn't defeat Liu Tang, but the rules of the dungeon could make Liu Tang suffer a little, which would allow him to vent his anger.
Fang Yiran looked at Liu Tang and said, "They want to kidnap the golden retriever and kill it? Wouldn't that put you in danger?"
Mo Qianhe clenched his cheeks, and even though he looked like a child at this moment, his eyes revealed extreme anger.
When he thought about the golden retriever being tortured by its own kind and Liu Tang having to endure extreme pain as a result, his heart felt as if it was pierced.
Liu Tang also figured out the key. As he climbed the stairs back, he comforted Mo Qianhe and Fang Yiran, "It's okay. It's just a matter of life status, not pain. Besides, isn't it possible that Cheetah will take action tomorrow? Black Cat will also be performing tomorrow night. We can help the police catch the Black Cat gang before they perform, and then we can get through this."
At this moment, the system announcement rang out in the minds of all players:
"Player Putong has been eliminated. Please continue to work hard to clear the level."
Fang Yiran was shocked: "What's going on? Wasn't she in the refreshment room? How could she be eliminated?"
Several people quickened their pace to walk back, and as "walls have ears", they heard the sound of someone knocking on the golden retriever's door.
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
Golden Retrievers have known this since childhood.
But when he really faced the handsome Black Cat store manager, he threw these words to the wind.
My whole head is filled with pink bubbles and the happiness of being seen and pampered.
He opened the door and expected to see a dusty delivery man, but he discovered that it was the Black Cat store manager standing outside.
The other person was wearing casual but high-quality clothes and holding a well-made thermos cup in his hand.
There is an obvious expensive brand logo on the thermos, and it is obvious that it is worth a lot of money.
"Mr. Black Cat, why did you come here in person?" The golden retriever had to admit that his heart was deeply hurt.
The black cat smiled politely and humbly: "I saw that your house is quite close to mine, so I delivered it myself. I don't feel safe leaving it to someone else."
The golden retriever felt the black cat's attention to him, and he felt as comfortable as if he were soaking in warm water.
After the black cat handed the hot cocoa to the golden retriever, it turned around and pretended to leave.
The golden retriever hesitated for a long time before finally summoning the courage to say, "Mr. Manager, thank you for coming all this way. Would you like to come in and sit down?"
The black cat turned around slowly and gracefully, revealing a perfectly balanced smile: "That's fine too. I'll make sure you finish your drink before you leave."
Liu Tang, who was walking in front of several players, felt his body go limp and fell down not long after.
Mo Qianhe had been paying attention to his condition all the time, and now he quickly stepped forward to support him.
Fang Yiran also supported Liu Tang from the other side.
"I feel so dizzy." Liu Tang whispered.
Seeing this, Lao Cheng, who was walking at the end, said leisurely: "The black cat must have put drugs in the hot cocoa. The golden retriever has already passed out after drinking it.
As Mo Qianhe supported Liu Tang forward, he said worriedly, "It seems that the so-called 'synchronization of life states' also includes synchronization of consciousness states."
Liu Tang fought hard against the dizziness that washed over him, trying not to lose consciousness completely. A glimmer shone in his eyes. "It's okay, this isn't too difficult for me. Let's go back and check on the refreshment room first."
After finally returning to the refreshment room, they stopped only when they reached the kitchen.
When they left more than an hour ago, Putong was in the kitchen, so they decided to check the situation in the kitchen first.
Fang Yiran collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. "Oh my god, my body is so weak. I'm exhausted like a dog just trying to support a little kid."
Mo Qianhe walked around the kitchen and didn't seem to find anything unusual except the shelf that Liu Tang had pushed open before.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard Liu Tang, who was slumped at the door, whisper, "Refrigerator, I remember...snacks are all in the freezer..."
When Mo Qianhe heard this, he thought of the situation that Liu Tang was worried about.
He struggled to open the lower door of the refrigerator, and everything was normal except that some things were knocked over.
Fang Yiran walked over to help Mo Qianhe hold the lower refrigerator door, allowing him to climb up by stepping on the storage compartments on the door.
The moment Mo Qianhe opened the door of the upper refrigerator, a huge block of ice pushed the door outward and fell right on Fang Yiran's head.
