Infinite Secret House 23 Take Your Time
"Weren't the last batch of players human?"
Xie Yunsui asked this question without any pause.
Pinocchio had just said it subconsciously, and was noticeably slow to react to the question: "Huh? Isn't it?"
Xie Yunsui: "You said this group is human. I'm curious, who were the previous group?"
Pinocchio thought about it for a long time with a headache: "I can't remember."
Xie Yunsui was speechless: "Who told you that this group is human?"
Pinocchio: "That's common sense, etched in your head. Don't you have it?"
Xie Yunsui: "..."
There was no more to ask Pinocchio. Like many other monsters, it had been an NPC in the dungeon since it could remember.
Xie Yunsui's mood became not so good again.
Lan Xi looked at the listless kitten and scratched its chin: "You haven't been in a good mood these past two days."
“There are a lot of questions bothering me.”
Lan Xi lay on his side, propped up his head and asked, "Tell me about it?"
Xie Yunsui squatted down with his hands in his pockets. "What went through your mind the moment you heard 'This group of players are human beings?'"
"'What were the previous batch of players?' That was my first reaction," Lan Xi answered quickly.
After he finished speaking, he reflected for a moment: "After all, the term 'this batch' itself implies some kind of reincarnation or replacement, doesn't it?"
"...Forget it, forget it." The cat in his pockets lazily raised his eyelids. "You just focus on meeting your KPI, and I'll just focus on running the secret room."
Lan Xi was stunned, picked up the kitten and held it face to face: "Have you been possessed?"
Xie Yunsui: "..."
Lan Xi pondered for a moment. "Are you afraid that if you delve too deeply into this, you'll violate the rules of this world?"
Xie Yunsui always kept Xiao Wan's warning in mind -
In the Samsung world, beings transcend the rules and have a high mortality rate.
Since coming to this world, except for feeling a little threatened when fighting with those monster bosses, Xie Yunsui has spent most of his time in peace and stability.
He did not become a player and did not have a KPI to pass, which meant that he would not perish because of the rules of a dungeon.
So what other crises are there in this world?
If there is something beyond the rules, then the only way is to make the rules.
He couldn't figure out what had chosen this group of players.
You can’t imagine whether the previous batch of players will be all the bosses and NPCs in the dungeon world.
We can't even imagine whether there was a batch before this batch or a batch before the previous one.
…
Each copy is a game.
This world is like a big game made up of countless small games.
The Creator hides in the darkness, admiring the "players'" struggle for survival.
Who knows if He would like to see an insignificant person trying to find His whereabouts?
What if someone gets unhappy and turns “this batch” into “the previous batch”?
Xie Yunsui hid his thoughts, wrapped his tail around Xiaoxi's fingers, and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal, let's take our time. The most urgent thing is, shouldn't we choose a dungeon to complete this week's mission?"
It's not a real face-to-face encounter, it's a person facing a felt cat.
Lan Xi couldn't really see Xie Yunsui's thoughts through the doll's expression.
Lan Xi was suspicious: "Are you trying to change the subject?"
"No, the monsters have amnesia, so what it said was just random talk. I need to find more monsters to confirm it."
Xie Yunsui nudged his palm with his cat head. "The monsters outside the dungeon are also very powerful. I just dealt with one and almost lost."
Lan Xi didn't care about that anymore: "Why are you so reckless? If you can't win, just run away. I can't be by your side all the time. I'll be worried if you get hurt."
The moment he finished speaking, a flash of inspiration came to Lan Xi's mind.
Is he worried about me too?
A person in the player's main city can't do more than just communicate with a small doll.
The insecurity of not being able to reach the other person in the first place cannot be eliminated no matter how many life-saving props you have.
So he doesn't want to investigate further?
Lan Xi: "You can take your time. We have plenty of time anyway."
-
Lan Xi is still opening a new dungeon this week, and it is still a battle royale game.
As we all know, battle royale games have the highest mortality rate of all dungeons. Despite the high income, players still only want to try their hand at the battle royale games they already have experience with. Starting a new game? Forget it.
Tao Sui asked around and came back to Lan Xi helplessly and said, "No one is willing to go with you. You have to go by yourself."
Lan Xi: "That's fine."
Tao Sui couldn't help but ask, "There are so many dungeon games, why do you want to go to the escape game?"
Lan Xi: "Actually, in a battle royale game, my partner's skills can be better utilized. He barely moved in the last dungeon."
Tao Sui was speechless: "If that's the case, even if we have the dungeon data for the escape game, no one can enter because they don't have your cheat."
Lan Xi: "That's why I asked if you wanted to come with me. At least this time, it would save your life."
"I'll follow."
Gu Miaoyang's voice came from the door. She pushed the door open and came in. She nodded to Lan Xi and then said to Tao Sui, "I'll go with him to open a new one."
Tao Sui: "Is your brother willing?"
Gu Miaoyang paused and said, "Of course I am willing. We trust Lan Xi and know how powerful the boss of the secret house is. If you open the escape dungeon, your life will be guaranteed and you can also get a lot of props. Anyway, my brother can't take me with him this week, so I can find a new boss to rely on and get some benefits."
Tao Sui: "As long as your brother agrees, I don't want to be hunted by your brother."
"Okay, time waits for no one, so hurry up and apply for the next copy."
Players can enter the dungeon at any time. After entering the dungeon, they will disappear from the original location and reappear at the original location after leaving the dungeon.
A safe space allows players to relax the moment they complete a level without having to worry about ambushes.
Tao Sui planned to guard their safe space personally.
Lan Xi lifted the cat doll from her chest and placed it on Tao Sui's desk, saying, "Put it aside for a moment, don't touch it."
Seeing his caution, Tao Sui, who had originally had no idea, suddenly became extremely curious.
After the two disappeared from the spot, he leaned closer to take a look at the kitten, but couldn't make out anything.
This isn't a prop, why is it so precious?
He stretched out a finger and tried to touch it lightly - this shouldn't be a bomb that will explode if touched, right?
The kitten slapped Tao Sui, leaving three clear scratches on the back of his hand.
Tao Sui: "..."
This time the escape dungeon is the Ancient Town Horror. As soon as Lan Xi landed, he checked whether there were any doors around.
They stood on the muddy ground, surrounded by desolate land. In front of them was a three-way intersection with a path trampled out. They didn't know which path was the correct one.
The damp ground and gloomy weather made people feel uneasy. A burly man with a rough appearance cursed: "Fuck, what the hell is this dungeon? Why is it so creepy?"
Gu Miaoyang walked to Lan Xi and whispered, "It's a good thing we came in together and didn't separate."
She didn't have much time to listen to the information about this copy before coming in, so she had to follow Lan Xi all the time.
Lan Xi also said quietly: "Wait for someone to pick me up."
Who are you waiting for to pick you up?
Gu Miaoyang didn't ask any further questions and just stood beside him.
The other players were not so well behaved. The weather was not very good, and in order to avoid rain, they had to explore the surroundings first to find a place to shelter from the rain.
Only a tall woman with half her face covered did not move. She looked at Lan Xi and Gu Miaoyang who also did not move.
Gu Miaoyang actually went to the dungeon alone?
Something happened to Gu Che?
Seeing Gu Miaoyang standing next to a man and asking a few questions before not moving, which obviously broke the social distance between strangers, she looked at him twice more.
After a few seconds, she walked over.
"Your brother had plastic surgery?"
Gu Miaoyang: “?”
Apparently, the two siblings were acquaintances, so Lan Xi introduced herself in a friendly manner: "My name is Lan Xi."
The woman folded her arms and looked at him. "Gu Che actually let her go on a dungeon with you. Are you her partner? You're actually thinking of dating someone?"
The second half of the sentence was directed at Gu Miaoyang.
Lan Xi said seriously: "Hello, I have a boyfriend."
After listening to her for a while, Gu Miaoyang finally recognized the woman in front of him. "Are you He Wei?"
He Wei snorted.
This was considered an admission. Gu Miaoyang smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I ran into you. My brother went to the dungeon this week, so I didn't bring him along."
"This is Lan Xi, a new member of our Bai Xiao Lou's new department. He Wei is a member of the White Tiger Hall of the Homecoming Association. I didn't expect to run into us."
Gu Miaoyang took the opportunity to give a brief introduction to the two of them.
A subtle glint flashed in He Wei's eyes: "Did you come in together?"
Gu Miaoyang nodded: "Yeah."
He Wei: "Do you know the name of this dungeon? Has Baixiaolou opened this dungeon before?"
Gu Miaoyang still smiled: "How else can we come together? If you have nothing to do during your return home, please come to our Baixiao Building and sit down. We will have more new copies in the future."
She turned to Lan Xi and said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, "The Homecoming Association has four branches. The White Tiger Branch is full of ruthless people. They never take the initiative to go to dungeons. They just wait for random assignments. They like new dungeons and then sell the information to Bai Xiao Lou."
He Wei's face darkened.
She thought she had gotten a new copy, but unexpectedly it was a copy that had been opened by Baixiaolou.
Another week of wasted opportunity.
"What kind of copy is this?" He Wei asked.
Gu Miaoyang reported a number.
When He Wei was about to change her life with an expressionless face, Gu Miaoyang tilted his hand and pointed at Lan Xi: "I was in a hurry when I came here and didn't read the information carefully. Give it to him, he knows everything."
Lan Xi doesn't need to keep it secret anyway. He will open the secret house later. After the secret house is opened, players can get the information of this copy from the secret house.
It’s just that He Wei knew it earlier.
"Ancient Town Horror, Escape Game."
"Oh? Escape?"
The lips beneath the mask lifted slightly.
I actually got the escape randomly, so it’s not a waste.
