Chapter 256
"Stop!" Seeing the other person throw away the quilt and rush under the bed, Xiao Gu deliberately slowed down and waited until the person broke through the wooden board under the bed and rushed halfway down before quickly grabbing him. Chang Yi in the room below had long been waiting impatiently. Seeing someone crawling out from the ceiling, she immediately picked up a stool and swung it over.
Offline, Bei Qiao, who was dreaming, suddenly woke up and felt something moving on the quilt. He closed his eyes and reached out to touch it. It turned out to be Tangyuan, who had been sleeping obediently on the cat sofa.
"It's late at night, and you look energetic..." Bei Qiao wanted to hug Tangyuan to sleep, but Tangyuan refused. He just pulled a doll from the bed and threw it on the sofa as a blanket, as if he felt the sofa was uncomfortable.
Bei Qiao rummaged through the cupboards, found Tangyuan's small quilt, and placed it on the cat sofa. Tangyuan's noise had jolted her awake. Unable to sleep for a moment, she simply picked up the holographic glasses on the table and planned to check online to see if any uninvited guests had entered the previous room. However, by the time she sat up from her bed in the inn, the outside was already bustling with activity.
Isn't it early morning? What's all the commotion outside... Bei Qiao heard the sound of people watching the excitement in the corridor outside. She leaned over the door and looked out. Something was thrown out and hit her door with a thud. It didn't break the door, but the noise was a bit sudden and almost scared her.
Bei Qiao opened the door a crack, fanned her face, and squinted her eyes as she peered out. The corridor outside was dim, partially illuminated only by candlelight from nearby windows and cracks in some of the room's doors. The door to the room she'd booked was wide open, guarded by a staff member. From inside, she could hear the sounds of people fighting, and occasionally, the suppressed screams of defeat.
Probably because they felt there was no danger, the players on the same floor and the natives on the upper floor who were woken up by the noise simply came over yawning to watch the fun. The staff did not stop them, but simply blocked the door of the room and did not allow anyone else to enter.
After a while, perhaps because the people in the room had had enough of the fighting, the noise gradually subsided and finally died down. After a while, two staff members dragged a man whose face could not be seen out of the room. He looked refreshed.
"Oh..." Bei Qiao touched his chin: This expression and demeanor have the beauty of a crazy founder on the day of resignation.
After watching the excitement, the natives realized that the matter was resolved, so they yawned and left. They looked at each other occasionally in a sleepy state, with different expressions on their faces.
"Interesting. I saw the follow-up of the incident as soon as I came online... roughly." Bei Qiao saw that the other players did not return to their rooms. Instead, each room sent a representative to follow the two staff members who walked out of the room. Just when he was about to close the door and follow them, he found that those people were politely sent back to the room by the staff.
Well, it seems that I can only wait for second-hand gossip... Bei Qiao rubbed his solar plexus, closed the door, returned to the bed, adjusted his posture, and went offline to continue resting.
On the other side, the person who was taken away by the staff was pressed on the table for interrogation. Although he kept claiming that he had found the wrong place, he could not deny that he had climbed over the wall and pried open the window. Not long after, his words began to contradict himself.
The shopkeeper watched for a moment, then frowned and went to another room. There, an underage girl had come to the door on her own initiative. She wasn't old enough to apply for a player identity, but she had been taken to another world by a newly appointed wild system. It took her half a day to find the official inn her family had described to her not long ago. She rushed in, grabbed the clerk, and cried, demanding to go home.
"Little sister, are you full?" The shopkeeper picked up the teapot on the table and shook it: "Drink some water, don't choke."
"Hmm!" The little girl nodded vigorously. After the shopkeeper drank a sip of water first, she poured herself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp: "Ah, I'm alive again!"
"You just said that you have a wild system?"
"Yeah! It's a good system, just not very smart." The little girl ignored the protests of the life system in her mind, touched her belly and leaned back: "Finally I'm full, I was starving!"
The little girl's name was Lingling. She was in class when she was taken away by the wild system. She was still wearing her school uniform and clutching a fountain pen when she arrived in this strange world. No one else was around. The stool beneath her vanished, and Lingling plopped down on the floor. As she rose, pen in hand, the quest panel dangled so hard she could barely open her eyes. Before she could even come to her senses and read the quest details, her wild system started arguing with its superiors in an electronic voice.
Wild System: My host is a minor! Minor! What are you trying to do by issuing strategy tasks?
Boss System: According to statistical analysis, the marriage age of women in some worlds is similar to that of this host.
Wild System: That's almost bullshit! Just because someone wants to come, you're binding them? I haven't even applied, and you've already approved it? How's that any different from kidnapping and trafficking? What's the point of killing someone if they don't complete their mission? Is that even reasonable? Hey? Hey! Stop playing dead!
Because the boss system pretended to be dead, this wild system quarreled with the boss, and seeing that the boss ignored it and did not correct its mistakes, it simply used its authority to change the task content to eliminate the man if it was not completed.
The superior system, of course, didn't want it to do this, and immediately used its authority to change the task back. The wild system, unconvinced, continued to modify the task. The two systems kept battling back and forth, alternating the task panel data until it became garbled and the task content was stuck. Only then did they cease their taunting.
"After that, the system was disconnected from the internet and couldn't teleport me back. The task panel had the name of the dynasty on it, and I'd heard about it from adults before, so I kept dodging people while wandering around, hoping I'd run into an adult player with a system, or find an official inn, and be able to go home." The little girl burped. "I did it! That's awesome! By the way, Boss, what will happen to the system? Don't destroy it, okay?"
"Don't worry, the processing results of a good system and a bad system are different." There are also good bamboo shoots in the wild system, and of course they must be treated differently.
While Lingling was eating, the wild system was trying to establish a connection with the system. Once the connection was successful, it immediately sent Lingling's coordinates and also sent the data in its own database. By the time the superior system reacted and interrupted the data transmission, the database had been half emptied.
Sensing the presence of other data, the system immediately rushed over, following the clues and intercepting many data streams, and incidentally apprehending some subsystems. It didn't tell anyone else that some subsystems were bound to people who belonged neither to China nor to another world. After apprehending the subsystems, it asked these people if they wanted to return home, and the answer it received was, without exception, a resounding yes.
System: Even if the time and place I send you back are uncertain?
Hosts: Even if things and people have changed, it's still home...
The system sent these people back. Perhaps because they had a very bad experience in this world, these people didn't even think about saying goodbye and left without any regrets.
After watching these people return to their original world, the system went to check on Lingling. The couple, who had been searching for their child all day, had wiped away their tears and coaxed Lingling to sleep. Lingling had been terrified all day, and they had nearly had a nervous breakdown the entire day. If they hadn't received the news that their daughter's place in another world was too far away, they would have rented a carriage to pick her up that very night.
Bei Qiao didn't know what happened in the inn. After going online the next day, she went out to ask the clerk and learned the follow-up of yesterday's incident.
The hole was not dug by the gangster last night. He just found it and planned to come in at night to kidnap the doctor. The reason for wanting to kidnap the doctor was also very simple. Although he was not sick and his family and friends were not sick, he knew that there was a rich man who was looking for a doctor. If he brought the doctor to that rich man, he would definitely get benefits.
"That person has been taken away by the police. Guests don't need to worry about retaliation later. That person just heard from others that there was a miracle doctor staying in the inn, and he didn't even know who the miracle doctor was." Speaking of this, the clerk was speechless: kidnapping people without knowing them... Forget it, a guy who doesn't know how to ask others for favors and just kidnaps people, you can't expect him to have a normal mind.
Of the three girls who had lived in the house before, only one was a miracle healer, and the guy who broke into the room didn't know which one was the real one. Before being taken away by the brigade, he ran into the three girls in the corridor, broke free, and pounced on them, trying to use moral blackmail, but the result was...
"It's so swollen, it's not contagious, right?" The constable looked at the figure lying on the ground and measured it from a distance: Wow, he has gained a lot of weight in the blink of an eye.
"Don't worry, he'll be the only one hurt. But it's best to wear gloves when you touch him to avoid hurting your hands." Zhuang Shuixian smiled and took out a small box. She slapped the powder inside onto her trouser legs with great force: Damn! So dirty! Men are so disgusting!
Seeing that Zhuang Shuixian looked very bad, Zhuang Maidong guessed that her mysophobia had kicked in, so he pulled her back to the house and asked her to change clothes. Zhuang Shuixian, whose complexion had finally improved a little, followed her sister and Jiang Fufu to the first floor, where they asked the waiter to order a few dishes. While waiting for the meal, they ran into Bei Qiao, who had just come downstairs after chatting with another waiter. "Good morning, Miss Qiao."
"morning……"
“Ghost!”
Before Bei Qiao could finish her greeting, a sudden scream came from outside the inn, interrupting their conversation. Zhuang Shuixian frowned and looked outside. Bei Qiao also looked outside. Hearing Jiang Fufu grinding her teeth beside him, Zhuang Maidong, who had been reading with his head down, also looked out: "..." The direction that person was pointing, was it me?
