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 091 Eating Watermelon at the Food Court (19)
Seeing that the sausage vendor was not provoked at all by him, Zhou Da felt as powerless as if he was punching cotton.
He took a step back and looked back at Ji Zehan.
At this moment, Ji Zehan was using a communicator to record the scene in front of him and forwarding it to the player group.
He concluded: "It seems that the captured robot will indeed be reset, forgetting what it was before, and thinking that it has always been doing this thing and just cleared the cache."
Song Xiaoyan asked in the group: "If it's just a reset, why are these robots so scared?"
Jiang Minxu replied: "Perhaps for them, remaking is equivalent to completely erasing their current self. Although they will exist in a different identity, they will already be a different person."
Qin Zhengyi: "I understand. In their eyes, being captured by the Inspectors is equivalent to death. That's why they are so afraid."
Mo Qianhe watched the discussion in the group and saw that Liu Tang's mind was not on it. Instead, he was concentrating on observing every move in the square. He asked, "What's wrong?"
A big question mark appeared on Liu Tang's bun, and he replied, "Why isn't my silly nephew at the stall today?"
At this time, Liu Tang’s stupid nephew, the owner of a stinky tofu stall, was sitting in the interrogation room crying and wailing: “Leader! I am innocent!”
Opposite him, the inspector played a video.
In the video, the owner of the sweet water stall selling eight-treasure porridge and the plum blossom cake stall were recounting with a timid look on their faces how the stinky tofu stall owner instigated them to destroy the milk tea shop.
This video was recorded the night before when Feng Xiansu went to the home of the sweet water stall owner and his wife to question them.
Mo Qianhe had mentioned during the first night's communication that the stinky tofu stall owner might collude with the sweet water stall owner, but Feng Xiansu just listened casually.
The first time the inspector checked the stinky tofu stall owner, he fooled him. Feng Xiansu didn't want to let him go. She tried hard to recall everything and thought of starting with the sweet water stall owner.
The couple just listened to the stinky tofu stall owner's idea but did not implement it, so there was no conspiracy.
When she heard that Feng Xiansu was an assistant inspector, she was scared to death. She didn't have to use any tricks to sell out the stinky tofu stall owner.
So the stinky tofu stall owner was arrested and interrogated early this morning.
This cunning guy tried many times to send messages to his dear uncle for help, but the inspector directly turned on the regional signal blocking, and he couldn't send out any message.
"Those two traitors!" After watching the video, the stinky tofu stall owner roared in his heart.
But he still insisted that he was innocent: "Leader, please investigate clearly. I was just talking nonsense with them, I didn't dare to really harm anyone!"
"Whether you really want to do something illegal, I can tell at a glance." The inspector said, his eyes began to scan the stinky tofu stall owner's stored memories.
Within two seconds, the words "Scan completed" appeared in front of the inspector.
The robot showed a rare look of surprise on its face: "How come your memories of the past few days have been cleared?
"Where's your cache?"
The stinky tofu vendor feigned innocence: "Boss, you know this is the oldest model I have. It has very little cache space. I need to clean it regularly, otherwise it will run very slowly."
After being instructed by Mo Qianhe, the stinky tofu stall owner cleaned up the cache in time, leaving only some brief tips for himself to know what to do, without any memory of the specific events, so that he could not be forced to collect evidence.
"Hmph, you're quite good at counter-investigation." The inspector snorted coldly and turned to leave.
The stinky tofu vendor quickly begged for mercy: "Boss, I'm really wronged! Please let me go! I still have to go back to business!"
The inspector replied in a mechanical voice: "Until the matter is investigated, you can't go anywhere."
After saying that, she turned and left.
After leaving the interrogation room, the inspector called her assistant's communication.
Assistant Feng Xiansu was in the milk tea shop at this time, looking at the former owner of the Crumbly Pancake Shop in front of her. She was suspicious about this robot suddenly coming to her door.
Although this NPC may have given up on the milk tea shop owner because he exposed the relationship between the former owner of the milk tea shop and the former owner of the fried skewers shop, why did he suddenly come to her house to work part-time?
After receiving the inspector's call, Feng Xiansu immediately turned and walked into the storage room, answering the call solemnly: "Leader, what instructions do you have for me?"
The inspector said impatiently, "I couldn't find anything about the stinky tofu vendor you reported. This is the second time. If you waste my time like this again, I won't let you go."
Feng Xiansu was horrified and asked quickly, "Didn't you say we could scan his 'memory storage'?"
The other party replied unhappily: "It's all cleared out. How cunning."
Feng Xiansu tried to find a breakthrough using her limited knowledge and the information she had already obtained in the dungeon: "Doesn't it need to be charged at night? Doesn't the charging pod allow me to access its memory information?"
The inspector replied, "I only have access to the charging pods in the shops in the food court. I don't supervise anything below the court."
Feng Xiansu understood what he meant. "So maybe there's a backup of his memories in the charging cabin, but we can't access it?"
Inspector: “Yes.”
Feng Xiansu pursed her lips: "I understand."
Feng Xiansu walked out of the storage room, eager to go out.
But the milk tea shop cannot be closed, otherwise her position as temporary store manager may be lost.
She glanced at the former owner of the pancake shop. Although she didn't trust him, she had no better choice at the moment.
The other players have already broken up with her and it is impossible for them to come to the store to find a part-time job.
"Work hard. If you dare to cause any trouble, I will never let you go. Don't forget who I am." After Feng Xiansu finished speaking, she handed the part-time employee's chip to the owner of the pancake shop. After urging the other party to work diligently for ten minutes, she quietly left through the back door.
"Countdown to food court opening: three, two, one."
In the fried skewers shop, Zhou Dazhi comfortably replaced all the goods that should be replenished today with low-priced expired semi-finished products, hoping to make a fortune.
After Ji Zehan sold the first batch of expired fried skewers, he clicked the "Report" button.
"I have received a report that your store is violating regulations by selling expired products. Please cooperate with the investigation." Until the inspector showed up in front of the store, Zhou Dada had no idea that he had been backstabbed by his teammates.
"Leader, is there something wrong? Our store is operating legally." Zhou Da wanted to step forward to stop the inspector but was stopped in place by him.
The inspector walked into the store and scanned the freezer's inventory with a laser. He quickly concluded, "We've detected a large amount of expired food in the freezer. The report is true. Interim store manager Mr. Zhou Dada, please come with me."
Zhou Da was like being struck by lightning. He knew that those NPCs who had been bosses would be reset after being taken away by the inspectors, but he had no idea what would happen to him as a player if he was taken away.
If resetting means death for an NPC, then what he is about to face may also be death.
Don't panic, analyze calmly at this time.
Zhou Da tried his best to calm himself down, his mind racing.
He has the item "scapegoat" which allows him to let other players replace him and escape danger.
So who will he choose?
Zhou Da looks back: How did the inspectors receive the report?
He had only discussed this matter with Pavilion Master Ji, but he was his teammate and should not betray him.
So who else knows about this?
Zhou Da thought of this and looked at Jiang Minxu fiercely.
Yes, there was another employee who found expired semi-finished products in the store.
Moreover, this person has been more or less at odds with me ever since entering the dungeon. It must be him who reported me.
Ji Zehan noticed the way President Zhou Da was looking at President Jiang. He stepped forward, stood in front of President Zhou Da, and said, "I reported you."
Zhou Da's eyes widened in disbelief, "Why? Pavilion Master Ji, I have no grudge against you, right?"
Ji Zehan showed his first smile since entering this dungeon, but it was a cold smile: "Zhou Dada, do you still remember Ji Shanchuan who was pushed into the reservoir by you...
"Ji Er, who was silenced by you...
"And An Zhaodi, whom you burned to death?"
The audience in the live broadcast room was boiling with excitement:
"Oh my gosh! It turns out Zhou Dazhi is an otter!"
"What does the previous part mean? I don't understand it!"
"If you don't understand, you can go and watch Pavilion Master Ji's clearance video and find the path to 'Bronze Pillar B5'."
"He's actually still alive! He's literally a scourge for thousands of years!"
Zhou Da's pupils dilated.
He was worried about being retaliated by those who died at his hands, but these three people died many years before him, which is equivalent to entering the "18th level of hell" hundreds of years earlier than him.
Only after Zhou Dazhai investigated and found that these three people did he dare to face other people using his real name.
But why now...
"No, it's impossible. Who are you? Are you from another branch of the Ji family?" Zhou Da looked confused.
Ji Zehan's eyes revealed sadness and a sense of revenge: "I'm Ji Shanchuan, Mr. Zhou Dada. Don't you even recognize the wronged souls of your own men?"
Although Zhou Dada didn't understand why this person still existed and how he had evaded his search, he figured out everything that happened before and after the copy.
From the very beginning, Pavilion Master Ji's offer to take him through was a trap.
After entering the copy, let him become the temporary store manager, and then hint that he is performing illegal operations.
All of this is to push him into a dead end.
By the time Zhou Dazhi figured out everything, he had already been dragged out of the store by the inspector.
He could no longer care about anything else and chose Ji Zehan and used the "scapegoat" prop.
Ji Zehan had anticipated this, and he opened his hands to show the other party the "black dog blood" he had consumed, his eyes full of hatred: "As expected, you are still so unhesitating when it comes to taking action."
Zhou Dada realized that the other party had offset the effect of his props, and his face darkened.
Ji Zehan curled his lips, took out another bottle of "Black Dog Blood" from the system backpack, and said: "You can try again, but it will probably be offset."
Zhou Dazhi's face was not panicked at this moment. He smiled a little crazily and said, "Don't you know that I still have a life skill?"
Zhou Da's innate skill is "Escape". No matter how dangerous the situation is, he can use this skill to escape. This is also the biggest reason why he can survive until now.
He activated his skill and his body began to become translucent. The NPC began to ignore his existence, and Ji Zehan's eyes looking at him gradually lost focus.
Zhou Da felt that the restraints on him were loosening, and he moved away quietly, intending to escape this disaster first and then make long-term plans.
The audience in the live broadcast room was even more excited because they could clearly see Zhou Dazhi, but could only watch him run away:
"Ahhhhhh, he's going to get away again!"
"Rich Man Zhou's innate ability is truly incredible."
"At times like this, if I had a 'shadowless lamp', I could see everything clearly."
"Don't dream about it. Rich Man Zhou knows this item is definitely his. All the 'shadowless lamps' that have been released over the years have been bought by Rich Man Zhou at high prices. You can't find them anywhere else."
It has been a while since Zhou Dazhi has been buying back the "shadowless lamps" from all players.
He even reached a high-price agreement with the system. As long as a player draws the "shadowless lamp" item, he will receive a system notification in the rest area and go to find someone to buy it.
Therefore, until entering this dungeon, there was not a single "shadowless lamp" circulating in the entire rest area of the underworld.
