Bai Tong looked at Ye Ye and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Ye Ye tightly grasped Wen Qing's arm, looking down at the bloodstains on his clothes, his expression showing anger, worry, and a little anxiety and dissatisfaction.

Bai Tong rarely saw him show such a complicated expression, especially to people outside the Jixiang Hotel.

Ye Ye was completely unaware of Bai Tong's gaze, and didn't even notice that the blood on Wen Qing's body was actually Bai Tong's.

He grabbed Wen Qing's coat and frowned, "Take off your clothes quickly."

"Let me see the wound."

After saying that, he directly pulled down the zipper of Wen Qing's jacket.

Wen Qing didn't know how Ye Ye's brain circuit was twisted like this, so he quickly grabbed his clothes and reminded him: "It's Bai Tong!"

Ye Ye only heard the two words "Bai Tong". He paused and immediately said, "It's not convenient to be here with Brother Bai."

Wen Qing: “…”

The next second, he heard Ye Ye say again: "Go to my place."

As he said that, Ye Ye zipped his zipper back to its original position, turned his head and said to Bai Tong: "Brother Bai, I will treat Wen Qing's injury first, and come back later."

Wen Qing: “…”

Bai Tong: “…”

Wen Qing was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but raise his voice and said to Ye Ye: "This is not my blood, it's Bai Tong's!"

"I'm not injured, I'm just visiting a patient."

Ye Ye paused, and his gaze slowly shifted from Wen Qing to Bai Tong.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the wound on Bai Tong's chest was bleeding, staining the bandage red.

The blood on Wen Qing's clothes was obviously stained by the hug between the two just now.

Ye Ye's face changed slightly, and he immediately helped Bai Tong sit back on the sofa: "Brother Bai, why are you still moving when you are injured like this!"

Bai Tong leaned against the back of the sofa and looked up at Ye Ye.

There was worry, but it was completely different from the worry about Wen Qing.

He pursed his lips and asked directly: "Do you two know each other?"

Ye Ye paused while removing the bandage, and said with his head down, "I met him in the zoo dungeon."

"You were too badly injured when you came back two days ago, so I didn't have time to tell you."

Bai Tong responded, looked down at Ye Ye's evasive eyes, and then looked at Wen Qing.

Wen Qing frowned slightly and looked at them with concern.

There were no other extra feelings, either for him or for Ye Ye.

Bai Tong retracted his gaze and asked in a low voice: "What happened in the zoo copy?"

Wen Qing was about to speak when Ye Ye opened his mouth immediately: "I recognized Wen Qing at first sight, and then we formed a team together. We completed the task well at first, but then a mermaid appeared out of nowhere and stared at Wen Qing, and then..."

Ye Ye omitted some details and roughly recounted what happened in the zoo.

The details were not very important, so Wen Qing did not interrupt and looked at Bai Tong's wound with a frown.

Ye Ye had already untied all the bandages on his body, and his injuries were clearly visible, they were very serious.

Bai Tong's entire body seemed to be torn apart. The wounds from his chest to his waist and abdomen were crooked. Even though they had been sutured, one could still see the horrific marks of skin and flesh turned inside out.

Wen Qing's eyelashes trembled as she looked at Bai Tong's face. He looked normal, but probably because of the blood loss, his lips and cheeks were particularly pale and he looked a little weak.

Ye Ye treated the bleeding wound, reapplied medicine, and then put on a bandage.

The stitches used to suture the wound were stained black and red with blood. Even Wen Qing felt horrified when seeing it naked, but Bai Tong didn't even groan.

Wen Qing stood there at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Seeing this, Bai Tong smiled and said, "The injury only looks serious, there is no big problem."

Wen Qing pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Did something happen in the copy?"

Back then in the seminary copy, Bai Tong was not hurt at all.

Bai Tong nodded and said slowly: "It's a copy called Rose Castle."

"It's a single-player god-level copy."

Wen Qing was confused, he had never heard of this copy.

Ye Ye frowned and wrapped the new bandage carefully.

Bai Tong continued, "In this instance, I am the steward of the castle. The main quest is to survive, and the advanced quest is to lead the three young masters out of the castle."

"I only saw one of them. He attacked directly and had to use props before leaving the dungeon."

Wen Qing was even more confused: "Do we have to kill the player when we meet?"

"I don't know. I didn't stay in there for 24 hours. When I saw one of the young masters," Bai Tong paused, "I looked up at the sky, and he took action right away."

Wen Qing's mind was full of questions.

Bai Tong pursed his lips and said, "I was in there for too short a time and didn't find any useful information."

Wen Qing whispered, “I saw someone on the forum saying that many big guys entered a dungeon and got hurt.”

"Is it this Rose Castle?"

Bai Tong nodded: "Oz entered earlier than me, and he didn't pass it either."

Wen Qing opened his mouth, and Ye Ye suddenly asked, "Do you also browse the forum?"

Wen nodded lightly and hummed.

As Ye Ye put away the bandages and wound medicine, he said to him, "Don't look at the forums. There are many scammers on the forums who deliberately spread false information to mislead people."

He cleared his throat: "If you want to know anything, you can just ask me."

Bai Tong looked at Ye Ye's slightly red cheeks, then at Wen Qing's beautiful eyebrows, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

Wen Qing blinked and thought, there is something he really wants to know.

He asked bluntly, "What is that big blue shape in the sky?"

Ye Ye was stunned for a moment, raised his head and chest, and said three words without changing his expression: "I don't know."

Wen Qing: “…”

Ye Ye added: "No one knows, there are only a lot of suspicions and speculations."

"Most people currently think that this colossus is a virtual main system image."

Main system?

Wen Qing was stunned for a moment: "Why do you think it is the main system?"

Bai Tong raised his eyelids and added calmly: "Because as long as you are in the human world, you can see it as soon as you look up."

“Even if you are in a blind spot, you can still see it.”

Wen Qing turned his head, looked at the window carefully, and noticed something strange.

That's true.

Most of the French windows in the living room are blocked by the buildings next to it, and the viewing angle is low, but you can still vaguely see part of the Colossus, which is magical.

Bai Tong looked at the window and said softly, "Put it another way."

"As long as we are in this world, we are being watched."

“Even if you are in a blind spot, you are still being watched.”

Wen Qing didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but after Bai Tong changed his way of speaking, he felt a chill down his spine.

He stammered, "When I came over, I thought I saw it move."

Ye Ye responded, frowned and said, "It has been moving from time to time since some time ago."

"I don't know if it has something to do with the recent changes in the dungeon."

"In addition to the zoo closing early, a player recently upgraded suddenly in the middle of a dungeon."

Bai Tong glanced at him: "What's going on?"

Ye Ye shook his head: "Not sure, still investigating."

Wen Qing raised his hand slowly and said to the two of them, "I was in the last instance."

Bai Tong and Ye Ye both looked at him.

Wen Qing explained the whole story of the dungeon, omitting some of the things that happened between him, Song Xuan, and Fu Ranxiu. Finally, he repeated 001's words: "The system said that it was because of an unstoppable force."

"I think a god is going to enter this instance."

Hearing the word God, Ye Ye frowned and sneered.

Bai Tong pondered for a moment and stared at Wen Qing: "The system told you that there is an unstoppable force?"

Wen nodded gently: "What's wrong?"

Bai Tong: "The system will not tell players anything about the dungeon."

Wen Qing blinked: "My system says the same thing."

He asked tentatively: "Maybe because upgrading the copy is a special reason? That's why you said that?"

Bai Tong calmed his eyes and said, "Maybe."

Speaking of the system, Bai Tong took the initiative to speak: "We haven't added friends yet."

Hearing this, Ye Ye straightened his back again and said calmly, "I've already added it."

Bai Tong glanced at him and said, "The system code is B8901."

Wen Qing shouted 001 in his heart.

001 said indifferently: [Added.]

After adding the friend, Bai Tong continued to ask Wen Qing: "How long will it take for the visa to be issued?"

Wen Qing told the truth: "There are still fifty days."

"It's still early," Bai Tong pursed his lips, stared into his eyes, and warned him seriously, "Don't enter the dungeon during this period."

"Those who left Rose Castle alive used props to end their lives early. I don't know how many players died inside."

"This instance seems to be deliberately letting players in to make plans. It's not normal. Let's wait and see for a while."

Wen nodded gently.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and a gentle female voice came from outside the door: "Brother Bai, the medicine is ready."

Ye Ye immediately went over to open the door, and a gentle-looking girl came in with medicine. When she saw Wen Qing, she nodded in a friendly manner.

The girl said gently, "Doctor Chen said that I should take this medicine three times a day starting today."

"I told you to lie down on the bed and not move around, so why are you sitting in the living room again?"

Seeing this, Wen Qing quickly said to Bai Tong: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"You should take good care of your injuries."

Bai Tong frowned and said, "I'm fine."

"You can be more..."

Before he could finish his words, the girl pressed gently on the wound.

Bai Tong's expression changed.

The girl handed the medicine to him and said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Brother Bai, there is nothing we can do with your injury. You should heal it as soon as possible before thinking about other things."

Wen Qing didn't notice the two's little movements. Seeing Bai Tong's face turn even paler, he immediately stood up and said to Bai Tong, "I'll come over after your injury gets better in two days."

"I've added you as a friend anyway, so you can contact me directly if you have any questions."

Bai Tong had no choice but to nod: "Remember to tell me when you get back."

Wen Qing took a step forward, and Ye Ye immediately followed: "I'll take you there!"

"No need," Wen Qing shook his head, "The Red Pavilion is just outside, it's just a short distance away, and there's no one waiting for me right now."

Bai Tong said, "It's such a short distance, it's okay to let Ye Ye take you there."

"Yes." Ye Ye agreed.

Wen Qing had no choice but to follow Ye Ye downstairs.

The two walked into the elevator and the door slowly closed.

Ye Ye quickly said: "I was busy just now and didn't see your message."

Wen Qing hummed and looked at Ye Ye's reflection in the elevator mirror. His eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were dark blue, and there was a faint stubble on his chin. It was obvious that he was too busy to have time to rest properly.

The elevator quickly reached the first floor. Looking at the red pavilion outside the door, Wen Qing paused and said to Ye Ye, "You really don't have to see me off."

"No!" Ye Ye blurted out, "I'm going to take you to the door."

Afraid that Wen Qing might misunderstand, he quickly explained: "It's not because of Brother Bai."

"Yes, I wanted to send you there myself."

Ye Ye's eyes were burning, his tired face was bright and he looked very happy.

What's so good about giving yourself a gift?

Wen Qing looked at this and couldn't help but wonder, is Ye Ye... trying to slack off?

Ye Ye's heart was beating fast.

He just wanted to see Wen Qing more, hear his voice more, and stay a little longer.

All the fatigue from collecting and organizing information all night long disappeared without a trace because of Wen Qing's appearance.

He pressed down the corners of his lips and asked in a nonchalant manner, "It's still early, do you want to have afternoon tea?"

After hearing this, Wen Qing felt more and more that Ye Ye just wanted to take advantage of the situation.

He raised his eyes, looked at the dark circles under Ye Ye's eyes, and said hesitantly: "Next time."

No rejection, but next time.

Ye Ye's mind was full of Wen Qing's promise to have afternoon tea with him.

The floor beneath my feet seemed to have become soft, and it felt so light and floaty when I stepped on it that I felt a little dazed.

Wen Qing didn't know what Ye Ye was thinking. He only noticed that Ye Ye's expression had changed a little, and thought it was because he was tired.

He said seriously: "You should have a good rest these few days."

"Eat it in a few days."

Ye Ye became even more arrogant. Why did Wen Qing care so much about his health?

He said dazedly, "I will take a good rest."

Wen Qing blinked and thought, Ye Ye has been quite obedient recently.

Thinking that Ye Ye was younger than him and was his younger brother, Wen Qing spoke again: "No need to send me off."

"You can go and rest now."

The fragrance between lips and teeth brushed across his cheek, Ye Ye's nostrils twitched slightly, and his head became even more dizzy.

The next second, a gentle, soft and pleasant voice sounded in my ears again: "Be obedient."

Ye Ye's heart was beating like a drum, and he felt a warm current spreading to every part of his body.

He blushed and said, "I, I'll be obedient."

Ye Ye nodded blankly, turned and walked into the elevator.

Wen Qing watched him walk into the elevator, which slowly rose, before he turned and walked out.

The Red Pavilion is on the roadside outside the building, only four or five meters away.

As soon as Wen Qing walked out of the building, he saw a player staggering forward on the side of the road. He almost fell down, but fortunately he held onto Hongting beside him.

"Fuck, what the hell is that?" The player cursed and turned to look at the green belt on the side.

Wen Qing followed his gaze and saw the small white flowers on the roadside swaying in the wind. A butterfly flew closer, and when it was about to land on the small white flower, it turned its head and flew quickly, flying leisurely in the air, and no one knew what urgent matter it was about.

There's nothing.

"Damn it, this is hell." The player walked forward cursing.

Wen Qing glanced at the floor again. It was smooth and flat, and didn't look like something that could trip someone up.

Wen Qing withdrew his gaze and walked straight into the red pavilion.

The moment the door closed, a slight sound was heard at my feet, as if something had hit the pavilion.

Wen Qing lowered his head, and there was a soft carpet under his feet.

He has returned to the residence.

Wen Qing was stunned for a moment and thought, did he hear the noise just now wrong?

Or did someone accidentally trip and fall on the red pavilion?

Wen Qing didn't think much about it. He sat on the sofa, drank a sip of water, and sent a message to Bai Tong and Ye Ye, telling them that he had arrived home safely.

Ye Ye replied immediately: [I am taking a good rest! ]

Wen Qing stared at the words for a while, as if sensing Ye Ye's emotions, and hesitantly replied: [Be good. ]

Ye Ye: [I'm good! ]

Wen Qing pursed her lips and clicked on Bai Tong's message.

Bai Tong: [Ye Ye hasn't slept for two days. He just went back to his room to sleep.]

Bai Tong: [Did you say anything to Ye Ye? ]

Wen Qing told the truth: [I let him have a good rest. ]

Bai Tong: [He listens to you very much.]

Wen Qing took a sip of water and told Bai Tong his experience in dealing with elementary school kids: [People with a temper like Ye Ye need to be coaxed. ]

【If you coax them, they will be obedient. 】

After a while, Bai Tong sent another new message.

【What about a temper like yours? 】

Wen Qing stared at the line of words and felt that it was a little strange, but he couldn't put it into words.

After pondering for a while, I couldn't help but ask 001: "What does this mean?"

001 sneered: [He might want to recruit you. ]

Wen Qing was stunned for a moment, and replied to Bai Tong: [Let’s talk about it after your injury is better. ]

Bai Tong: [Okay.]

Bai Tong: [By the way, Oz has withdrawn the bounty on you.]

Bai Tong: [You can rest assured.]

Wen Qing replied with a "yes", and asked Bai Tong to have a good rest. Then, while drinking water, he complained to 001: "It was obviously Oz who lied to me in the seminary."

"Why do you still offer a reward for me?"

001: [He is sick. ]

Wen Qing nodded in agreement.

Looking at the Holy Grail on the coffee table, he couldn't help but wonder, is Oz coveting the props of the seminary?

Although the instructions and notes are a bit erotic, the Holy Grail is still quite useful.

Wen Qing thought, at least he hadn’t reached the god level in the last few copies.

He picked up the water cup, took a sip of water, then spat the water into the holy grail, silently counting the time to go to the new copy.

The time shown by the Holy Grail is ten days later.

Ten days later, it’s still early.

…………

For the next three days, Wen Qing stayed at home and watched the new movies at home and in 001.

On the fourth night, Wen Qing received a message from Li Ran.

Li Ran: [Brother, brother, I got out alive. ]

Li Ran: [Brother, I made it out of the strange dungeon alive. 】

Li Ran: [I'm starving. I haven't had any food to eat in this dungeon for the entire day.]

Li Ran: [Have you slept? If not, do you want to go out for a midnight snack? ]

Li Ran: [Woo woo woo. ]

Wen Qing hesitated for a while, then thought that there was no one guarding the Red Pavilion, so he replied "OK".

Wen Qing: [Where are Li Jingjing and Ye Ye? ]

Li Ran: [My sister hasn't come out yet, I'll go ask Brother Ye Ye.]

Wen Qing: [Okay, see you at the hotel entrance.]

Li Ran: [Roar!]

Wen Qing changed his clothes and walked to the entrance of Jixiang Hotel, only to see Li Ran.

Li Ran quickly ran up to him and said, "I just called Brother Ye Ye out for a midnight snack. He said he wanted to have a good rest."

After hearing the words "have a good rest", Wen Qing was silent for a moment, and said to Li Ran: "Then let's go eat together."

The Jixiang Hotel was still closed, so the two walked towards a nearby restaurant operated by the system.

It was ten o'clock in the evening and it was pitch dark.

There is no sun or moon on earth, only a huge image in the sky standing day and night. The sky at night is pitch black, like data retrieved by someone, and the duration and degree of darkness are exactly the same every day.

There weren't many players on the street. There were only four or five people gathered in front of the bulletin board, chatting:

"What started this?"

"It seems like it's been a while."

"I'm not going anyway. I might die in the next instance."

"I will wait until my visa arrives before going."

"Damn it, is this fucking system trying to trick us into dying?"

…………

Li Ran quickly ran to the bulletin board and shouted, "Brother, come and take a look."

"It seems there is an extra note on the notice board."

【Human world·Precautions】

[Dear players, welcome to the world, please be sure to pay attention to the following points:

1. Players are requested to take care of flowers, trees and small animals.

2. Players are requested to consciously maintain the sanitation of the human environment, throw waste into the trash can, do not litter, and do not urinate or defecate anywhere.

3. No serious acts of violence are allowed in the human world.

4. Please actively participate in the game.

5. Players are welcome to actively participate in the game!

6. If you have any questions or need help, please consult the personal system.

Follow the rules, play actively, and wish you all a happy journey! 】

Wen Qing didn't realize what was new at first glance. He read it twice before realizing there was an extra line saying "Players are requested to actively participate in the game" with an exclamation mark.

He frowned slightly. The main system was urging them to play the game.

Wen Qing lowered his eyes, thinking of the Rose Castle that Bai Tong mentioned, and deliberately letting people raid the dungeon...

Seeing this, Li Ran leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Brother, do you know what's going on?"

Wen Qing shook his head: "I don't know."

There was a restaurant operated by the system across the sidewalk. The two of them didn't choose and went in to get a private room.

Li Ran ate his meal in big mouthfuls, complaining to Wen Qing about how deceptive the monster copy was.

"That monster has two heads, which is scary enough, but there is a player who is even scarier. He is actually a tentacle monster."

Wen Qing looked at her curiously.

Li Ran continued: "His hands, no, his tentacles, can come out from all parts of his body and directly twist the monster's head off."

"I was scared half to death. I was thinking he was so handsome, I had to protect him..."

Wen Qing was slightly startled: "Is it beautiful?"

Li Ran nodded: "Yes, a boy is prettier than a girl. I'm just like that."

"I don't know how it turned into a tentacle monster. Luckily, I have the desire but not the courage..."

As she spoke, she looked at Wen Qing and saw that his expression had changed a little. She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, brother?"

"Do you know him?"

"I don't know him," Wen Qing shook his head and told the truth, "but I know someone who is similar, but he's not a player."

"Oh oh." Li Ran ate without thinking much.

Two hours later, Li Ran cleared the table full of food.

Wen Qing asked: "Are you full?"

"Would you like more?"

"No need," Li Ran burped and said quickly, "I just finished it quickly because I didn't want to waste it."

Wen Qing nodded and wanted to pay.

Li Ran paid the money in advance.

Wen Qing was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you ask me to treat you?"

Li Ran chuckled: "I have already passed two dungeons, do I still need the points for a simple meal?"

"I mainly wanted to treat you to a meal, but I was afraid you wouldn't want to come out."

"I'm a rich woman now," Li Ran generously bought two more bottles of milk, opened one and handed it to Wen Qing, "Call me Rich Woman Li from now on."

Wen Qing couldn't help but smile: "Okay, Mrs. Li."

The dormitory of Jixiang Hotel was not far away, and the two walked forward slowly.

Li Ran paused while drinking milk and asked, "Brother, did you hear any noise?"

Wen Qing pricked up his ears and listened for a while, but heard nothing.

“What’s that noise?”

Li Ran listened for a while and shook his head: "No sound."

"Maybe I heard it wrongly. Now my mind is full of that tentacle player. I'm even hallucinating."

When they reached the red pavilion in front of the building, Li Ran stopped and said to Wen Qing, "Brother, let me see you go in."

Wen Qing responded, walked into the red pavilion and closed the door.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Seeing Li Ran walk into the dormitory building, he was still in the red pavilion and did not return to his residence.

Wen Qing quickly called 001: [What's going on? ]

After a moment, 001 said coldly: [It was maliciously damaged.]

【Change it. 】

Wen Qing said "oh", pushed the door open and left, and saw the big hole at the bottom of the red pavilion.

Who broke it?

Wen Qing pursed her lips, inexplicably having a bad feeling.

He glanced around and saw a red pavilion standing in the alley about ten meters away.

Wen Qing ran over quickly.

Suddenly, a rustling sound was heard behind me, echoing in the alley, especially clear.

Wen Qing's face changed. It was too late for him to go back to the dormitory building of Jixiang Hotel. He could only run quickly towards the red pavilion in front.

The moment he opened the door, something cold and soft wrapped around his ankle and tightened instantly.
