Chapter 248: Ghost in the Mirror (XI)
Following the direction of the light, Guan Yingying soon saw a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
"It's you..."
In the dark fog, Jie Fangcheng came over with a flashlight.
After seeing Guan Yingying, Xie Fangcheng also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why aren't you on the platform?"
Go forward twenty minutes.
After the system issued a prompt, other players came out of the community one after another, entered the platform obediently, and waited for the last bus to take them back from the community to their resting place.
The bus did arrive as scheduled, but after the players got on, the bus was reluctant to start and just stayed quietly on the platform.
The black fog outside the community spread quickly. When Zhu Ping and the other person were still waiting for Qiao Qiang outside the supermarket, the people on the bus had already seen that there seemed to be some monster approaching in the black fog.
Some players had perception skills, and when the black fog first started to spread, they spoke with a serious look to remind everyone: "There's something in the black fog! It's very powerful! It's very likely a mini-boss!"
A small boss in the third level ghost book!! Do I need to say more about how dangerous this is?
"Hurry up! Why isn't this car moving?" a player asked anxiously.
As if in response to his question, there was a beeping sound inside the bus.
[Ding——Dear passenger, the vehicle will take another 5 minutes to start because the number of passengers does not meet the requirements. Please wait. ]
Let alone five minutes, considering the fog outside, I'm afraid the fog will spread to the bus within two or three minutes.
The number of people does not meet the requirement... Does this mean that all of them have to be here before the car can start?
There are seven people in the car now. In Xinxin Home Community, Zhu Ping and Guan Yingying have not come out yet, and the weird player named Jie Fangcheng is not there either.
"Fuck! What are they doing? Why are they dawdling?" someone cursed.
Someone took prompt action, opened the car door and jumped out, apparently trying to run back.
But the player who jumped off the car quickly rushed back with an unpleasant expression: "There are monsters guarding here."
This is obviously a limitation of the dungeon. The players on the bus are relatively safe. After getting off the bus, the monsters will stay nearby, obviously requiring them to be taken back by the bus.
Does this also mean that they should run back before the system prompts them? In this way, before the black fog spreads, they should be able to return to the hotel smoothly, right?
As the black fog became thicker and thicker, the monster in the black fog staggered closer, and the players sitting in the bus seemed to be able to see the monster's huge body. However, because there were not enough people, the bus just stopped quietly in the black fog and let the monster in the black fog gradually approach.
Buses are safe, but as you might imagine, this safety is also time-limited.
If they stay here and don't leave, what will happen if the monster rushes over?
Now even those who had been silent had a hint of resentment: "What on earth are they doing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure rushed out from the black fog and quickly opened the car door.
Just as everyone was getting into attacking posture, they looked closely and saw that it was Zhu Ping who arrived late.
"Why are you here alone? Where is that woman?" someone asked.
Zhu Ping didn't know what Guan Yingying was thinking. When faced with the questions from the players in the car, she just shook her head, feeling a little relieved.
I arrived at a very coincidental time. The fog outside was so thick and the monster was approaching, but the car hadn't left yet.
But she soon realized that it was not a coincidence that she came, but that the car could not be driven without her.
Listening to the players around her talking about what the system had just prompted, Zhu Ping became a little anxious: "What should I do now? Should I go back to find her?"
But this time, just as she finished speaking, a beeping sound was heard in the car.
[Beep—The vehicle is about to start, please hold on tight and sit tight. ]
After saying this, the vehicle really started up slowly.
This made Zhu Ping a little anxious: "What should I do? Guan Yingying is still in the community."
When she said this, several players nearby replied angrily: "So what? Are we going to stay together and wait for her to come? Don't you know there are monsters in the black fog?"
monster.
When Zhu Ping heard the word, her heart skipped a beat. The first thing she thought of was the monster in the black fog whose face looked exactly like Guan Yingying's.
But when she turned to look at the players around her, everyone’s expressions seemed to be unaware that there were monsters like Guan Yingying in the black fog... Or were the monsters at the border different from the monsters in the black fog?
As Zhu Ping thought about this, she was also worried about Guan Yingying.
She stayed in the community, and considering the current spreading of the black fog, would she also encounter monsters?
That shouldn't be the case. Guan Yingying's behavior is somewhat suspicious. She knew the system prompt but still insisted on staying. This is not consistent with the behavior of a normal player.
Zhu Ping was still struggling with this when the bus soon arrived at the first stop.
In the thick black fog, the bus stop sign emitted a long yellow light.
When the players were ready to get off the bus, the bus actually passed the first bus stop and continued to move forward.
What's going on?
The players on the bus couldn't help but communicate with each other, and each of their expressions revealed a sense of confusion.
When they came, the bus stopped at every stop and the players got off one by one. In fact, when the bus came at night, many players wondered if it would be the same at night, allowing players to choose their own places to get off and only one person could get off at each stop.
If this is the case, it would obviously be best to get off at the first stop.
After all, there is a big boss in charge!
The players couldn't help but feel terrified when they heard about it. They had also stayed in the hotel at the first stop, and they knew very well the strength of the ghosts in the hotel. As a result, the phone kept ringing for the whole afternoon.
In other words, there must have been a ghost in the hotel all along, but the player named Jie Fangcheng actually stayed there for an entire afternoon.
Now the bus was pulling them towards some distant place, and they didn't know where it would stop.
The players were a little anxious on the bus. But the black fog outside was still thick, and no one dared to open the door and rush out of the bus. They could only let the bus go away.
At this moment, Zhu Ping, who had been sitting in her seat in deep thought, seemed to have thought of something. She stood up suddenly and walked quickly to the driver's seat.
There is actually a landline phone on the driverless bus.
Zhu Ping quickly picked up the phone and dialed number 4444444.
Busy.
Yes, the phone is always connected, so of course I can’t get through.
What should we do with Guan Yingying? No matter how anxious Zhu Ping was, the bus still took them farther and farther away from the community until it slowly stopped at the last stop.
There was black fog all around, and only the light of the road signs could be vaguely seen. A player was counting along the way. When the bus stopped, he immediately said, "The eleventh stop! It's the stop where Jie Fangcheng got off before!!"
At that time, the players thought this person was so stupid. He actually got off at the first stop. Didn't he know that the first stop was probably the most dangerous and unwelcome? But during this afternoon, the players understood that it was not that he was stupid, but that they had never seen such a person. This kind of person... it was hard to tell how strong he was.
Hope was rekindled in Zhu Ping's heart.
No matter where the resting place is, there should be a telephone, right?
Thinking of this, Zhu Ping vaguely felt that she seemed to have forgotten something.
Everyone got off the car and headed towards the only place where light was emitted. Not long after they walked, they saw a ruin in front of them.
Depend on! ! !
At this moment, Zhu Ping suddenly remembered what she had forgotten. At that time, Xie Fangcheng had said that the building had collapsed. But no one took it seriously at that time.
Facing the ruins in front of him, Zhu Ping rushed over and dug twice with his bare hands, but instead of digging out the phone, he dug out a piece of a ghost hand.
The ghost buried in the ruins was not dead yet, and its hand suddenly grabbed towards Zhu Ping.
In a flash, Zhu Ping hurriedly took two steps back.
A player looked at the ruins and muttered to himself, "Is this the resting place prepared for us in this dungeon?"
They have been busy for so long, without a bite of food or a sip of water. Even the players are not made of iron.
Who would have thought that their base camp was dug up.
But looking at the ghost hand trapped in the ruins, the players had only one thought in their minds: Good job digging! If this wasn't a ruin, it would be hard to say whether everyone would live or die after entering this hotel.
But now that there is no hotel, where can they go to rest? The players were still thinking, and Zhu Ping had already stood up.
"I'm going to find Jie Fangcheng."
"How are you going?" someone couldn't help but ask.
From time to time, strange noises could be heard from the surrounding black fog, and it was obvious that there were monsters hidden in it.
Zhu Ping insisted on looking for Jie Fangcheng. She must face attacks from countless monsters along the way, right?
Zhu Ping didn't have time to explain any more. He just said, "We don't have time."
Not only does Guan Yingying in the community have no time, but the other players can't just stand here forever, right?
But Zhu Ping did not try to persuade them or argue with them. She felt it was impossible to make them face the danger in the black fog with her.
But this time, after he finished speaking, the players looked at each other in bewilderment. Soon, the group of people caught up with Zhu Ping.
Someone smiled and said, "We can't let you take all the risks, right?"
Zhu Ping was stunned for a moment. Before she could feel moved, she suddenly understood what was going on rationally.
They really did not want to face danger, but in the current situation, staying would be the most dangerous. It would be better for them to try their best to go through the black fog to find Jie Fangcheng and get his protection.
However, there was no need to say such things bluntly. Everyone concentrated on their journey and indeed encountered a monster on the road.
It was a creature covered with long tongues, and its original appearance was almost invisible. After seeing them, the countless tongues on the monster made a cry at the same time.
"You're running around outside at night, fooling around with so many men. How can you be a girl at all?"
"Look at what she's wearing. Ouch, her legs are exposed. It's obvious that she's not a good girl."
"How shameless! Who are you trying to seduce by dressing like this?"
"Looks like I need to teach you a lesson—"
This monster was very targeted from the moment it opened its mouth. After it finished speaking, Zhu Ping thought to herself that something was wrong. As soon as she started to attack, the monster was really targeting her.
Seeing that the monster was so directional, the other players watched for a while, and found that although the monster was quite powerful, it could still be killed if everyone worked together, so they started to attack.
After killing the long-tongued monster, Zhu Ping's body was already covered with many wounds deep enough to see the bones. She could only take out a bottle of recovery potion from her backpack and drink it again.
After struggling through the black fog and following the directions of the lights on each bus stop sign, they arrived at the first platform and quickly entered the hotel.
Zhu Ping didn't have time to sigh about how the ghosts in this hotel were all acting as waiters, she first found Jie Fangcheng who was lying on the front desk and was completely asleep: "Guan Yingying didn't catch the bus."
Zhu Ping said this.
She was still hesitating, what price would she have to pay to invite this master to save Guan Yingying?
As a result, after hearing this, the other party stood up with the stick in his hand without saying anything and said: "I'll go pick her up."
Before leaving, Jie Fangcheng did not forget to warn the ghosts who were drooling at the players: "Don't do anything to them."
As Jie Fangcheng said this, he was still thinking about whether he should establish his authority or something, but this was actually not safe. After all, it was unpredictable what would happen in the hotel after he left.
The players were also confused and were still hesitating whether to follow him to find Guan Yingying.
Zhu Ping, on the other hand, walked to the front desk without saying a word, picked up the phone and hung up, and the ghosts around him disappeared.
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhu Ping said.
Without this worry, Jie Fangcheng quickly left the hotel carrying the stick.
The black fog was getting thicker and thicker. The players couldn't see the direction clearly at that time. But Jie Fangcheng could. He didn't use his eyes to see, but a sense of Yin Qi. But he knew that he was slow. Now he was saving people, so Jie Fangcheng couldn't care less. He exerted force on his legs.
The players in the hotel were just pouring water to drink when they heard a sound like something exploding from far away. The ground was shaking and the water in the cup was spilled out.
"What's going on? There's an earthquake in the dungeon?" a player asked in confusion.
