The clock on the first floor read eleven fifty-four.
Accompanied by a crackling sound, the sharp laughter of children came from room 602.
After making sure Rong Ya would not wake up, Rong Fan quickly took Bai Jingmo to the sixth floor.
As soon as the elevator door opened, they heard the noise coming from room 602. Rong Fan's eyes narrowed and he hurried over.
What's going on? It's not the NPCs that are going to have an accident? It's the players that are going to run into monsters?
He ran to the door of Room 602 and tried the door lock first, twisting it frantically, but the lock did not loosen at all. He could only knock on the door with his hands.
"Mu Chengsi!! Mu Chengsi!!"
"Can you hear me?!!"
As soon as his voice came out, room 602 instantly became quiet.
The sounds of children laughing and throwing things stopped, replaced by an eerie silence and stillness.
Rong Fan's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He was about to pat it again when he suddenly heard a childish voice coming from inside the door.
"Who are you?"
It’s Xiaoyun’s voice.
Her voice sounded normal, but that was the scariest thing at the moment.
There were only a few of them living in the two-story building, so how could Xiaoyun not recognize his voice?
Rong Fan grabbed the door handle and spoke carefully: "I'm Uncle Rong Fan, Xiaoyun, is your mother home?"
"Mom?" Xiaoyun was confused for a moment, then suddenly burst into a sharp laugh, "Yes, yes! Mom is playing games with Xiaozhi! I'll go get mom!"
But then, there was no more sound from behind the door.
Rong Fan's heart tightened instantly. Could it be that Mu Chengsi had already...
He checked the age of the door. Fortunately, due to the long-term unfinished construction of the building, the lock of the door had begun to loosen.
Just as I was hesitating whether to use props to pry the door open, but was afraid that this would ruin my character, I suddenly heard Bai Jingmo's voice behind me.
"Get out of the way."
He was stunned for a moment and subconsciously leaned sideways.
Immediately afterwards, a fierce wind blew past him, stirring up sand. Rong Fan quickly covered his face and closed his eyes.
With a "bang", the door panel was violently kicked open.
Bai Jingmo indifferently withdrew his foot and casually looked at Xiaoyun who was in the living room with a dazed look on his face.
The little girl stood on the messy floor, holding a pair of scissors in her hand, her eyes wide open, as if she had not reacted yet.
Rong Fan was also confused for a moment.
Just open the door... violently?
Bai Jingmo took a glance and said in a neutral tone: "Go in."
After Rong Fan reacted, he looked at him deeply and hurried into the house.
But the man behind him did not rush in. He first turned his head to look in the direction of the stairwell, curled the corners of his lips, and then walked into the house.
After they disappeared at the door, the door to the stairwell was opened. The woman looked at the scene in Room 602 with her eyebrows slightly raised.
My boyfriend is quite sensible.
She played with the mobile phone in her hand, then walked slowly towards 606.
He placed his hand on the door handle, twisted it gently, and the door opened instantly.
Compared to the bustling 602, 606 is eerily quiet.
Yu Li slowly turned on the light, hummed a tune as she closed the door, and locked it with a "click". Her movements were as natural as if she was at home.
When she smelled the blood in the room, the corners of her mouth raised in a playful arc and her tone was light.
"Is this how the God of Peace treats guests? You don't even greet guests when they come."
As soon as the words fell, footsteps were heard in the room, and then the young man stood in the living room.
Still with the familiar hairstyle and clothes, it was Mu Shichen during the day.
But at this moment, his appearance had changed. His eyes were completely black, with bright red blood flowing from the corners of his eyes. His skin was eerily white, and he was holding a knife in his hand, with blood dripping from the tip of the knife. He had absolutely nothing to do with the word "peace".
But the fact is, this person is the God of Peace in the copy.
Once the player kills the family members who have turned into monsters, they will be judged by Mu Shichen at twelve o'clock.
But in Yu Li's eyes, this was just a cover for murder.
Mu Shichen didn't expect Yu Li to come over suddenly. He looked up at the clock on the wall, clenched the knife in his hand, and said in an ambiguous tone.
"It's almost twelve o'clock. What are you doing here?"
"Of course I came to see how you kill people." Yu Li answered lazily, without any awareness of being a "guest". She wandered around the living room with her arms folded, walked to the bedroom door, and pushed open the half-closed door.
After seeing the scene inside, she raised her eyebrows slightly, shook her head, and said in amazement: "What is going on? Is the God of Peace killing his roommate?"
In the bright room, Zhang Jialin was seen curled up in a corner with his hands tied behind his back and his mouth blocked. When he saw Yu Li, his eyes widened and he whimpered for help.
"Tsk." Mu Shichen laughed disdainfully, shook the knife in his hand, and said in a sinister tone, "Who made him discover my identity?"
He narrowed his eyes and slowly raised the corners of his lips: "Besides, these people have been a little disobedient recently and always forget the principle of peace. If Zhang Jialin dies, they will know how terrible it is to destroy peace."
"So?" Yu Li leaned against the door, raised her chin in the direction of Zhang Jialin, and said lazily, "You plan to fake the scene where he wanted to kill you, but was retaliated for destroying the peace?"
This is really what NPCs do.
This directly provides players with a very obvious clue, which is that they must never actively kill people.
In this way, as long as no one takes action, everyone in this copy can survive, because monsters cannot kill people, and people cannot kill monsters.
The original owner of the first life killed his family out of fear.
But the players are not afraid, they have long been accustomed to it. Later, they will find the right character and use family affection to awaken their family members who have turned into monsters, and then they will be able to successfully pass this copy.
Yu Li sighed and said in boredom, "That's boring."
No wonder those NPCs won’t kill the players.
Mu Shichen didn't understand Yu Li's words and frowned: "What do you mean by meaningless?"
He walked to the door, looked at Zhang Jialin's body trembling with fear, raised his hands excitedly, and said in an excited tone: "How interesting this is! This will not only prevent them from doubting me, but also make them know that they must maintain the principle of peace. But at night, their family and friends will turn into monsters again. At that time, they will not care about family affection."
Under the choice between family affection and terror, human instincts are selfish, they will only choose the side that is good for themselves! So they will definitely kill the monster!
Mu Shichen almost laughed out loud. He couldn't wait to see those people's painful yet helpless expressions.
But at this moment, a woman's smiling voice came from behind him.
"But your peace is so boring."
