Chapter 239: Ghost in the Mirror (Part 2)
Jie Fangcheng had indeed never seen the player named Guan Yingying before, but that didn't stop him from recognizing her.
After all, when playing the game "Don't Answer", Nie Shuangshuang would often say "It would be nice if Yingying were here", a complete Ying fan.
Therefore, although I have never met him in person, I have heard of Jie Fangcheng's name for a long time.
Especially since the other party also introduced his skill as [Butterfly Heart], the probability of making a mistake is even smaller.
Xie Fangcheng was not a person who kept things to himself. As soon as Guan Yingying finished introducing herself, he immediately asked, "Are you Guan Yingying from Ronghua Labor Union?"
The girl named Guan Yingying turned to look at him with a confused look on her face.
“Ronghua?” She shook her head. “I’m not a member of any union.”
The ethos of "Three Thousand Worlds" and "Don't Answer" is very similar, including the fact that players generally have unions.
After joining a union, you can share the experience of other people in the union, purchase items at a price slightly lower than the market price, and find a suitable team more easily... It can be said that the benefits of joining a union are countless.
Large labor unions have large numbers of members, numbering in the tens of millions.
Players in the first and second level dungeons may not join a guild for various reasons, but when it comes to the difficulty of the third level dungeon, most players have a guild.
There aren’t many lone rangers in “Three Thousand Worlds”, but there are two in this copy.
This was Guan Yingying's reaction after hearing Ronghua's name, which made Jie Fangcheng frown.
"Nie Shuangshuang? Zhang Daowu? Wei Yuan?" He called out several names in succession, but Guan Yingying opposite him still looked confused.
What's going on?
Is it just a duplicate name? Not only the name, but also the skills?
Xie Fangcheng felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
He had never seen Guan Yingying before, and he couldn't be 100% sure that she was the good friend that Nie Shuangshuang kept mentioning. The other party was obviously wary of his strange words.
…Forget it.
Jie Fangcheng is very good at letting himself go, and this kind of thing cannot be forced.
Besides, it seemed useless for him to continue to worry about it.
This player named Guan Yingying has begun to doubt herself. How can Jie Fangcheng prove that he "knows" her?
Even if it was proven, Jie Fangcheng couldn't understand why Guan Yingying didn't remember Ronghua, Nie Shuangshuang and the others as if she had lost her memory.
Let’s leave this kind of mental activity to Professor Zhang!
According to his previous experience, there should be a Professor Zhang in this instance. To be honest, Jie Fangcheng felt like he was collecting cards.
While Jie Fangcheng was thinking this, the bus slowly stopped.
[Ding—We have arrived at West Changjiang Road Station.]
The bus door also opened at this moment.
Inside the carriage, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The atmosphere was exceptionally quiet.
The bus did not rush, but just waited quietly - and this waiting time was a bit too long.
Half a minute passed and the bus was still parked next to the platform, not moving.
One player speculated: "Look at this... are they asking us to get off the bus?"
After they came in and investigated, they found that the car was unmanned and seemed to be moving along a fixed track.
There were only players like them on the bus, and because of this, everyone felt comfortable communicating with each other.
The bus stopped like this with the doors wide open, and the meaning was quite obvious.
But some smart players looked up at the bus route map.
Yangtze River West Station.
Changjiang West Station is not the terminal station, there are ten more stations behind it.
Coincidentally, there are also eleven players on the bus.
It's not like everyone gets off together, it's more like one player gets off at each stop.
what to do?
There are many people like this player. No one speaks and they all look around at other players.
This is the first stop of this bus. In the dungeon, the first player to step forward often ends up in a miserable state, and no one wants to be the first guinea pig.
But that's what I thought. People are not fools. Who would want to be the first one to go down? Do I have to start fighting with other players from now on...
Just as everyone was thinking this, a figure stood up from the car, walked to the door very calmly, and walked out in two steps without saying a word.
The movement was so clean and neat, as if he was just an ordinary passenger.
Everyone: “…”
Who is this?? Just like that???
After getting out of the car, Jie Fangcheng stretched. He turned around and was about to say something to Guan Yingying in the car when the car door in front of him slowly closed.
He was still wondering.
The car has stopped, why don't these people get out? What are they dithering for?
Just as Jie Fangcheng was thinking this, the bus started slowly and drove towards the next stop.
?
Jie Fangcheng was bewildered and reflexively raised his hand.
"Why??"
Why did you leave?
He was confused, but the bus quickly disappeared in front of him.
"……well."
Jie Fangcheng was helpless.
He didn't have a penny on him and was left here?
This dungeon is not good either! What ghost in the mirror? Forget about whether it is a ghost or not. At least give some hints. You can't let the players come to the dungeon as homeless people, right?
Jie Fangcheng thought so, put his hands on the pergola at the station, squinted his eyes and looked around, and he actually found a clue.
"Is that a hotel?" Jie Fangcheng muttered as he walked towards the hotel.
I don't know if I can buy on credit in the dungeon.
On the bus, because Jie Fangcheng left so decisively and suddenly, the players were really unable to react for a moment.
"Damn... Warriors?!" someone couldn't help but sigh.
Players who can play in the third-level dungeon are all very powerful and have a lot of experience in dungeons.
Everyone knows that at this time, the first player to get off the car will be in danger.
Of course, this is also a dangerous part of the dungeon. Players will fight each other to avoid danger - this is what a normal dungeon is like.
Who would have thought that there would be someone who didn't play by the rules?
Guan Yingying was also shocked.
She couldn't help looking out the window, thinking as she looked.
This guy is so weird.
Ronghua? What is that?
Nie Shuangshuang, Zhang Daowu, Wei Yuan... Who are these three people?
Did you recognize the wrong person?
While Guan Yingying was thinking, the bus stopped again.
[Ding—We have arrived at Changjiang East Road Station.]
This time, the players felt that they had figured out the rules of this dungeon, and this time no "warrior" suddenly stood up and got off the bus on their own initiative.
About three minutes later, a figure was kicked out of the bus as if throwing away garbage.
It’s Guan Yingying.
She rolled twice on the ground and stopped only after hitting the seat at the bus stop. She held her chest and gasped, her eyes fixed on the bus door which was slowly closing.
The car left.
Guan Yingying closed her eyes, slowly sat up with the help of a chair, and sat in the chair in a daze.
In fact, she is not an ordinary player.
She is a "wandering player".
Wandering players are those who are pulled into the game for unknown reasons but cannot obtain official player status, so they can only wander around in various dungeons but cannot enter the player lobby.
Not being able to enter the player lobby means not being able to obtain dungeon settlement rewards. Even if you obtain props and skills, you cannot identify them. And after going through one dungeon after another, a normal person cannot last long.
How long have you been holding on?
Guan Yingying can't remember clearly.
Her strength was still good when she entered the dungeon. The difficulty of the third-level dungeon was not low and was within her ability to handle.
But as time went by, her strength declined rapidly.
Is that the end?
Guan Yingying wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Even though she had new wounds on her body and the old ones had not healed yet, she immediately began to look for clues calmly.
Unlike Jie Fangcheng, she looked around the platform very carefully and finally found a clue.
If I remember correctly, the bus they just took was Route 1, and Guan Yingying had memorized all the stops along the way.
On the road sign at the bus stop, in addition to bus number 1, Guan Yingying also saw bus number 7.
"Changjiang West Road, Changjiang East Road..." After eleven overlapping stations, the final terminal is different.
"Xinxin Home?" This sounds like the name of a residential area.
Is this their destination?
Guan Yingying frowned.
Do I have to walk to Xinxin's home on my own? It shouldn't be that difficult. The dungeon shouldn't have such a simple "difficulty".
I don’t know if the first player who got off the car found any clues. If he did, they could communicate with each other.
And since he dared to get off the car first, he must have discovered something decisive!
Just as Guan Yingying was thinking this, Jie Fangcheng finally leisurely walked into the "clue" he was optimistic about.
The hotel was empty.
Jie Fangcheng knocked on the counter at the front desk: "Hello."
It was quiet all around.
When they were in the car, Jie Fangcheng discovered that there seemed to be no other people in the city except these eleven players.
Although there were many shops and it looked like the real world that Jie Fangcheng was very familiar with, the empty city also made Jie Fangcheng realize that this was definitely not a copy of his little world.
This discovery made Jie Fangcheng breathe a sigh of relief.
And now, after he arrived at the hotel, he found, as expected, that the hotel was still empty.
Jie Fangcheng didn't care. He took out a room card from the front desk and went to find the room with it.
4044.
The hotel facilities seem quite complete, but there is no one.
Jie Fangcheng's footsteps echoed lonely in the hotel. After he swiped his card to enter the room, the pale light came on the moment he entered the room.
A standard room with no special features, only a TV playing the news.
"...Yesterday, a vicious murder occurred in Xinxin Home Community. The deceased was a 45-year-old man with multiple stab wounds. His body was abandoned at the entrance of the community. It is reported that the murderer is a tenant in the community. The case is under investigation. Our reporters will continue to report for you."
The accompanying picture was not blurred, but instead focused on the face of the deceased.
The entire TV screen was filled with this face. The deceased had died in a miserable way, with his eyes wide open, staring straight at Jie Fangcheng.
The sound of the news seemed to echo throughout the deserted hotel.
Just then, the clock struck twelve.
The eyes on the TV screen seemed to move, as if trying hard to look at Jie Fangcheng.
The next second, the screen went black.
Jie Fangcheng took the remote control and turned off the TV. He didn't care about this.
Then he took off his shoes, lifted the quilt and lay down on the bed, and fell asleep in a short while.
