Chapter 122

The two unfamiliar players scratched their heads slightly embarrassedly when they heard Xingnuo's words.

"It's probably not him. It's too easy to find the real culprit so easily."

This is a B-level copy. Logically speaking, it will take at least a few more days to get any clues.

The player looked at Xingnuo, who was looking down at the plastic shell in his hand, and sighed and said:

"Kid, let's go backstage. The front is almost burned out and the exit is blocked. We can only find a way out from the back."

Xingnuo looked at the seating area that had been burned into a black ruin, the confusion in his eyes remaining unchanged.

He raised his little head and suddenly asked:

"Uncle and aunt, is this the auditorium of Rongcheng Central Primary School?"

The players thought it was the little NPC who was guiding them, so they quickly checked the background settings and finally looked at each other in bewilderment.

"This is not mentioned in the background, and we can't be sure."

The female player crossed her arms, looked at the auditorium filled with ashes, and couldn't help but say:

"Isn't this the auditorium where you performed? I saw you running out from the backstage. You are more familiar with this place than the rest of us. It can't be wrong."

Xingnuo walked around the seating area and didn't find anything else, so he walked towards the exit of the auditorium in front.

There is an exit at the backstage and the front of the auditorium.

The front exit is at the right rear of the seating area, with two heavy, particularly old-fashioned doors that can accommodate four people walking side by side.

Xingnuo walked to the door and pulled it hard with his hands, but found that he couldn't open it.

"Don't try. This door was accidentally locked on the day of the fire, so the people in front couldn't get out."

The players tried various methods, even using advanced props, but they could not open the door no matter what.

"Now we can only find the back door and go out from the back."

Xingnuo gave up pulling the door. He turned his head and looked at the auditorium floor which was covered with a thick layer of black ash. He could vaguely see his brother sitting in his seat and taking a picture of him.

How could this happen?

Xingnuo knocked his head and couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

Could it be that I really remembered the time wrong?

Or, did you go to the bathroom and miss the big fire a month ago?

Xingnuo really couldn't understand and was unwilling to accept the fact that his brother had been burned to death.

The two players led him backstage, and through the winding corridors, they returned to the starting place.

"Kid, you know where the backstage exit is, right?"

Fearing that Xingnuo would be immersed in the sorrow of losing his loved ones, the female player spent her points to buy him a lollipop.

"Don't be sad, everyone is like this, and you will grow after experiencing it."

Xingnuo shook his head and did not take the orange-flavored lollipop.

He raised his head, his eyes were clear and bright.

“This is not our school’s auditorium.”

Although everything is leading Xingnuo in one direction, Xingnuo still believes in his intuition.

"I didn't lose my memory, and I didn't pass out."

He just came to a strange place that was exactly the same as the school auditorium!

Xingnuo wanted to go out quickly to see if the school outside was the one he was familiar with!

The next second, Xingnuo started running, and his red cape was blown back by the breeze, looking bright and colorful.

Upon seeing this, the players hurried to catch up with this little NPC who was related to the main storyline.

"Hey! Slow down!"

Xingnuo had rehearsed once in the school auditorium before and was quite familiar with the backstage layout.

He ran all the way towards the back door and successfully reached it before several players behind him caught up with him.

The players looked at the door in amazement and exclaimed "Wow" several times.

"It's really strange! We walked here several times but couldn't find the correct exit. How come you found it so easily when you came here?"

Xingnuo was anxious. He walked over step by step and pushed the door open.

Outside the door, the sun shines on the road, casting mottled and fragmented light and shadows on the large leaves of the camphor trees, swaying in the wind.

Xingnuo breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the unfamiliar camphor tree forest, and his tightly clenched hands finally loosened at this moment.

This is not his school.

There are not so many camphor trees in Xingnuo Primary School. There are only two pine and cypress trees planted on the playground.

The players were even more excited than Xingnuo. They ran out first, yelling and screaming.

"Three days! Three full days! And you actually walked out like this?!"

"Maybe this dungeon is difficult in the beginning, requiring us to dodge monster attacks, and it will be fine once the important NPCs appear in the end."

The female player smiled as she stuffed the orange-flavored lollipop into Xingnuo's pocket and pinched Xingnuo's little bee antennae.

"Thank you!"

Xingnuo said softly, "You're welcome." After thinking for a while, he asked the female player again:

"Sister, you are not the parents who came to watch the performance, right?"

The female player didn't mind revealing some information to this little NPC and shook her head.

"We are not. We are detectives who came to investigate the truth after the fire in the auditorium but got trapped."

Facing these strange people, Xingnuo's eyes were clear but confused, as if he had endless questions.

"Then why is this auditorium exactly the same as my school's auditorium?"

Not to mention the layout of the backstage, the seating area in the front stage really looks like a school auditorium that has been burned down by a fire, even the position of the patterns on the gate is exactly the same.

If Xingnuo hadn't had a strange intuition, he would have really believed that this was the auditorium after it was burned down by fire.

The female player wasn’t sure either. She still thought Xingnuo was too young to remember the timeline clearly.

"Isn't this your school auditorium? I don't know. After all, this is my first time here too."

Xingnuo shook his head and said affirmatively:

“No, this is not my school.”

The players didn’t know if he listened or not. Seeing that the task was half completed, they still wanted to ask Xingnuo for more information.

"Kid, do you remember if anything special happened during the performance?"

Although they escaped from the auditorium, the arsonist has not yet been found.

The players were certain that Xingnuo, who led them out of the auditorium, had important information yet to reveal!

Xingnuo shook his head, looking lonely as he thought of that joyful New Year's Eve party.

"No, I just performed with the kids."

Without any news, the progress bar froze again.

The players walked out of the auditorium and began looking for clues around it.

Xingnuo also walked out, wearing a furry yellow and black bee suit and a small red cape, and walked around to the main entrance of the auditorium.

There was a wasteland in front of the main entrance. Although the walls of the auditorium building were burned black, their shape remained intact.

Xingnuo looked around for a long time but didn't find anything suspicious.

"ah!"

Screams came from the back of the auditorium, and Xingnuo and another player hurried over from the front door.

When they arrived, the player was holding his stomach, with large amounts of blood flowing out of his abdomen and his face was pale.

"What happened? Who attacked you?"

The player shook his head, looking panicked and terrified.

"I don't know. I didn't see what it was at all. The monster attacked me and then ran away."

The scar-faced player had experienced several B-level copies, and his face turned grim when he thought about the two deaths in his team.

"We escaped from the auditorium. The real murderer is hiding in the dark now. He definitely doesn't want us to continue investigating."

"So the black shadow just now is the real murderer?"

Scarface nodded: "I think so. According to past experience, the survival rate of B-level copies is at least 50%. Now that Xiao Yuan is injured again, the real culprit should surface."

The players were discussing enthusiastically, taking out their weapons and starting to defend themselves.

Seeing that his brother was fine, Xingnuo turned around and ran to the front of the auditorium.

The door in front of the auditorium could not be opened from the inside. Xingnuo tried it from the outside and managed to push the door so hard that it shook a bit.

His eyes lit up for a moment, and Xingnuo pushed harder, gritting his teeth and puffing out his cheeks, pushing the door open a small gap.

Before I could look inside, a dark shadow flashed by.

Xingnuo was knocked to the ground and rolled twice, using a small wooden sword to support his body.

The black shadow had no shape, but had two small tentacles, staring at Xingnuo fiercely.

Before Xingnuo could react, the black monster attacked Xingnuo again.

Xingnuo used a small wooden sword to block, but the black shadow didn't take the child's toy seriously at all, and pounced on him with a ferocious posture without any restraint.

But when the monster hit the wooden sword, there was a loud crackling sound.

The monster's body suddenly shrank by half, and it rolled to the ground, howling in pain.

“Ouch!”

How come this is an SSS+ item!

The monster was in so much pain that it looked at Xingnuo unwillingly. When the players arrived, it whooshed into the woods in front again.

"It's that monster!"

"Fuck, is he that awesome? How did you manage to beat that kid away?"

The players arrived late and did not see Xingnuo using the small wooden sword to resist.

Moreover, they didn't take this toy wooden sword seriously at all.

Xingnuo got up from the ground, ignoring the black shadow that ran away with a dirty face, and quickly pointed at the door that was pushed open a crack.

"The front door can be pushed open from the outside."

The players subconsciously thought that if the door couldn't be opened from the inside, it certainly wouldn't be possible from the outside.

I didn’t expect it was possible? !

The players were surprised for a moment, and rushed forward. Several people worked together to push the door open most of the way.

Xingnuo stood closest to the front, and as soon as the door opened, he felt the overwhelming scorching heat.

But he could not move forward and stood at the door, watching the auditorium recreate the scene of the day of the fire.

A monster bit through the wires on the ceiling and spewed out flames viciously.

The fire spread instantly, and the parents in the front row screamed and stepped back. In panic, everyone was in chaos.

Someone rushed towards the door at the rear right, but found that the door was locked for some reason and could not be opened at all.

"The door is locked!"

Amid the crowd's terrified screams, the flames swept towards everyone like a fiery red dragon.

Xingnuo saw his brother's back inside.

He was still wearing that well-fitting black suit, and because the weather was cold, Shen Yan was also wearing a long coat.

He was holding the black camera in his hand and taking pictures of the stage.

Before Xingnuo could anxiously call out "brother", the next second, the figure was engulfed by flames.

"elder brother!"

Xingnuo shouted, but was unable to walk into the door. He ran his fingers through the phantom flames, trying to pull his brother out.

Unfortunately, the illusion ends here.

The scene of the raging fire in front of Xingnuo turned into a burnt auditorium again.

Looking at where her brother was, Xingnuo pursed her lips and tears fell down.

However, Xingnuo gripped the small wooden sword tightly and confirmed one thing in his heart.

Everything is fake, his brother is still alive!
