Chapter 118 Cutscene

"Did you hear that?"

In the storage room, Yu Yuanzhen suddenly raised his head and listened attentively to something.

Ji Weihang focused his attention on what was in front of him and listened attentively. Soon he heard the sound of approaching footsteps.

They leaned over to the crack in the door and looked out.

A group of faceless people rushed out from the security door next to the storage room and rushed towards the elevator.

"She's coming, she's coming, get ready!"

The elevator was just across the storage room, so they turned around and looked towards it.

With a ding, the elevator slowly opened and white smoke filled the air, making it impossible to see the scene clearly.

Before they could throw the knives in their hands, a round bullet flew out from the white smoke.

"Grenade--!" a scream.

They immediately scattered and dodged like ink in water.

"That's my little sister's voice," Yu Yuanzhen said. She didn't know their names yet, so she just called them Big Sister and Little Sister based on their ages.

Ji Weihang also heard it, she covered the crack of the door, closed her eyes and said, "Don't look."

Sure enough, it was not a grenade.

The round bullet fell to the ground, and a dazzling light burst out.

There were screams outside, followed by several gunshots and then silence.

There was a gurgling sound, and Bai Jiyue stood outside the door and said briskly, "I'm back."

Ji Weihang opened the door, looked at the cart of weapons, the people lying on the ground behind her, and the elevator that was still smoking, and said, "You're going to attract everyone in the building."

Bai Jiyue smiled and took credit: "Don't worry! I killed everyone in the whole building."

As she made her way down, the elevator stopped and started, and encountered several attacks. She actively responded to them with the rewards they deserved.

These on the first floor are the last batch.

"Great." Yu Yuanzhen exclaimed, "Then we don't have to hide in this small room anymore."

Bai Jiuyue smiled and pointed at the weapons on the cart, "I used up some, but these should be enough."

Seeing them starting to pick weapons, Bai Jiuyue turned and walked towards the faceless people lying on the ground.

Ji Weihang put on his belt and put various equipment into the belt accessory bag.

The weapons here were not much different from those in the Bird World. She quickly equipped herself.

She glanced at Bai Jiuyue who walked over to the faceless man and squatted down to help Yu Yuanzhen choose suitable weapons and equipment.

After a moment, Bai Jiuyue came over and distributed the watches to them, which were pulled off from the faceless people.

"Time is going faster and faster." Putting on a watch, Bai Jiuyue said, "The hidden rule of the thirty-third floor: when the number of residents in an area who have awakened is not enough, time will skip quickly."

As they watched, the pointer on the dial moved faster and faster, and soon stopped at ten o'clock.

get off work.

The tightly locked door of the underground passage opened with a click.

They entered the passage one by one.

Go down a flight of stairs and you'll enter a passage with gray-white walls and a dark gray floor.

Walk through a passage that you can see to the end, turn at the end, and you will see upward stairs on the left wall with a door at the end of the stairs.

Open the door and enter the familiar building of rules.

Just as I cast my eyes towards the bright [basement floor] outside the door, there was a sudden rumbling thunder, as if the whole world was shaking.

They were startled and thought that special security measures had been triggered, and subconsciously raised the machine guns in front of them.

But they soon realized that apart from the endless ringing sounds, no one showed up to catch them, so they ignored it for the time being.

The time now is half past ten - the speed of time is still strange, they don't know the reason, and they don't have time to care about it for the time being.

Open the door to the stairwell and walk out into the steaming, complex-smelling kitchen.

The grid walls are covered with shiny knives of various sizes, and the refrigerator against the wall is filled with large chunks of bright red meat;

A huge iron pot was bubbling with soup on the stove, emitting the aroma of meat;

There were still some uncut vegetables and fresh meat on the chopping board, and the knife was placed aside.

It seemed that the chef left suddenly for something.

Bai Jiuyue extended his spiritual sense outside and saw an empty restaurant with some unfinished food on the table.

Did the diners suddenly leave for some reason?

But no one is a good thing, and there will be fewer fights.

They walked quickly out of the kitchen and dining room and saw the elevator.

They don't have work badges and can't go to the regular corridor.

Before they could think about how to solve the problem, they saw the floor number of the elevator suddenly jump.

The floors that were originally black start from "-33" and go up.

"Hide.t"

They quickly hid in the tea room next to the restaurant door. Two of them observed the elevator through the crack in the door, while one of them observed it openly with his spiritual sense.

The elevator did not continue to go up, but stopped right at their floor.

The elevator door opened, and a pair of blood-spattered yellow boots stepped out, followed by a loose white robe - now a blood-red robe.

The man lifted up his robe and threw it aside, revealing a fitted yellow uniform underneath and a thin, narrow, snow-white knife hanging around his waist.

He casually took off the bloodstained mask and threw it aside, revealing a young face of about twenty years old.

She wiped the sweat off her face and let out a breath.

"Let's eat something first and then think about how to deal with the police station."

She muttered to herself and walked into the restaurant.

Ji Weihang said: "She is very dangerous."

The other party might be the most dangerous character she has ever encountered.

——Of course, it is not ruled out that her current quality in all aspects is too low, making it difficult for her to accurately judge the specific danger.

Yu Yuanzhen's alarm bells were also sounded. "There are actually such strong players. Aren't we all being pulled down to the average level?"

The young man's face was very clear, and he was obviously not a faceless person. Yu Yuanzhen subconsciously thought that the other party was a player.

Ji Weihang disagreed with her: "I don't think she is..."

"She left her badge behind."

Bai Jiuyue used her spiritual sense to observe the young man enter the kitchen and whispered, then opened the door and rushed out quickly, not giving them time to stop her.

Don't you want to die? Yu Yuanzhen opened his mouth, but seeing that Ji Weihang was as still as a mountain, he closed his mouth and watched Bai Jiyue's actions nervously.

Bai Jiuyue jumped in front of the blood-stained white robe and mask, flipped the robe over, trying to find the work badge he had just seen.

Her spiritual sense was paying attention to the young man who was looking for food in the kitchen to avoid running into him and causing a conflict.

Found it!

Just as she was about to grab her work badge, it suddenly evaded her hand, floated up, and swayed in front of her, tempting her to grab it.

She stepped back warily and looked sideways.

The young man stood at the door of the restaurant holding a bowl of broth and looked at her with interest.

Bai Jiuyue reacted immediately and realized that the other party's consciousness was stronger than hers, creating illusions to blind her investigation.

She raised her hands in surrender. "I have no ill intentions. I just wanted to borrow your lost ID card."

The young man said "oh" and drank some soup.

The work badge flickered in the air and fell into Bai Jiuyue's arms.

Holding his work badge, Bai Jiuyue fell into even deeper pressure. He swallowed and said, "You should be a player too, right? We are not enemies."

Wrong, Ji Weihang thought to himself.

The young man finished his broth and threw the bowl behind him. The bowl floated up and landed on a dining table.

This accuracy is at least at the Nascent Soul stage. Through the stability of the bowl floating, Bai Jiyue secretly assessed the opponent's strength.

"Do you want to go downstairs?" the young man suddenly asked.

Bai Jiuyue was thinking about the other party's fighting strength, and hummed blankly before she realized that she was talking about "you guys".

Now, the two people hiding in the tea room no longer hid and came out.

The young man looked at Ji Weihang for a second longer and said, "Your hair is very cool."

Ji Weihang responded politely: "Thank you."

"Wu Li," the young man said, "Wu means Wuyun, and Li means etiquette."

Rude? That doesn't sound very polite.

Bai Jiyue cursed.

The thunder outside got louder.

They were already used to it, so they ignored it and each introduced themselves briefly.

"I'm going to destroy this layer of building blocks, you'd better leave quickly." Wu Li took out two work badges from his arms and handed them to them.

Ji Weihang didn't answer, "Can we join you?"

Wu Li raised his eyebrows and refused: "You are too weak to help me."

Ji Weihang looked at her thoughtfully and took the work badge.

"You enter the corridor, swim to the bottom of the regular river, touch the light, and you can leave this level of building blocks." Wu Li said.

Under Wu Li's friendly gaze, they took the elevator and left.

The elevator automatically moves to the -33rd floor.

Yu Yuanzhen finally spoke.

"I thought that when we met a key NPC, they would give us game tasks."

She also realized that the other party was not a player. If the other party was a player, they would immediately "greet" them as soon as they found them, and would not go around waiting for them to fall into the trap.

Not to mention destroying blocks. Currently, players neither have the ability to do so nor have any reason to do so.

Ji Weihang stroked the work badge in his hand and said, "I thought so too."

Bai Jiyue said: "If she wants to destroy this layer of blocks, will all the players present die? Shouldn't we worry about the massacre plan?"

Ji Weihang looked at Yu Yuanzhen. After all, she was the one who cared most about the lives of the other players present.

Ji Weihang was not worried about Fu Xuan. Without her, Fu Xuan might perform better, and she was sure that Fu Xuan was not on this level. The game was intended to separate them.

Yu Yuanzhen frowned and thought, then said, "...Forget it."

After a pause, she explained, "The Wuli section was supposed to be the main storyline, but she didn't assign us any quests... It should be a cutscene or something like that? It feels irrelevant to the players."

As a modern person, she has her own understanding of games.

Although she is middle-aged, she has been dabbling in various games and gaining knowledge since she was selected to play.

She loves helping save others, but she won't let it affect her game.

Who knows when Wu Li will take action, she will not risk dying here.

Since everyone has decided to leave quickly, let's head straight to the goal.

When the elevator reached the [-33rd floor], a scene of corpses and blood all over the floor immediately came into view.

“…”

Inevitably stepping on blood, they reviewed the process as they moved.

After Wu Li appeared on the negative thirty-third floor, the chef and the employees who were eating received the news and rushed to fight, but all failed.

Wu Li got his work badge, took the elevator upstairs, and met them.

Wu Li's sudden appearance here means that this is indeed the passage between the building blocks.

They stood on a clean surface, facing the regular river.

Bai Jiyue was the only one here who was here for the second time. She put her hand in to indicate that it wouldn't hurt, and then put her head in and out again, and commented:

“There is no risk of suffocation, as there is with air.”

Yu Yuanzhen rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll go first."

She was the first to jump into the river of rules, bypassing and pushing away the characters flowing around her and swimming downwards.

Bai Jiuyue stuck his head into the river.

She saw Yu Yuanzhen disappear after touching a certain light at the bottom.

Bai Jiyue returned to the corridor and said to Ji Weihang, "She is gone, and the spirit attached to her has also disappeared."

Ji Weihang withdrew his gaze from the surroundings, and the two of them jumped into the regular river together, swam downstream, and soon saw the light.

Bai Jiyue took the initiative to hold Ji Weihang's hand to prevent them from separating. Ji Weihang was a little uncomfortable, but he did not refuse.

They touched the light at the same time.

Before the light engulfed them, a faint rumbling sound was heard from far above.
