[The expert is definitely planning to thoroughly investigate all the information within this dungeon under the cover of night.]
[They told me to rest early because the situation might be very dangerous, and they didn't want me to face that danger directly.]
[Waaaaah, but I'm so scared I can't sleep!]
[I'll close my eyes and pretend to be asleep for now...]
I can't see anything, I know nothing, I'm just a background character who can shout "666" behind the big shots' backs.
Listening to Chu Liang's cowardly yet lively inner thoughts, Gu Xinghe couldn't say he disliked him.
It could even be said that Gu Xinghe found it somewhat interesting to be able to hear the other person's various thoughts.
Well...
Although so far, Chu Liang seems to have only shown dialogue with "NPCs" such as Blanco and Sandy.
He secretly gathered intelligence and also played a logistical role by cleaning the house.
But Gu Xinghe always felt that it had been a long time since he had a normal teammate who could cooperate with him or play a support role.
Well, after all, in the previous Nightmare Art Exhibition instance, these players were basically all "in jail" right from the start.
After Gu Xinghe successfully "escaped" on his own, the others did not fare well in the end.
But perhaps it is because we have already experienced quite a lot today.
Just a second ago, Chu Liang was acting as if he was too scared to fall asleep.
But after a few moments, when no more "self-guided" mental constructs were heard,...
Gu Xinghe turned his head and saw that Chu Liang was already fast asleep.
His body remained in the same posture as when he was praying earnestly before going to sleep, and he seemed to trust Gu Xinghe quite a bit.
Seeing that the other person was already fast asleep, Gu Xinghe no longer paid attention to Chu Liang.
He simply began summoning the red jade spiders he had just released.
Although Gu Xinghe also really wanted to showcase his artistic abilities in this insect-infested room—
He then used the liquid bomb he had made to directly destroy the insect's nest.
But considering the scale of the commotion, it seems a bit excessive.
He had just sent out his "summoned creature" to hunt the insects in the house.
At this moment, sensing Gu Xinghe's call, the Red Jade Spider crawled out from a corner of the house.
These small animals seem to have the ability to disappear without a trace from the buildings they inhabit.
When you think you've wiped them all out of your home.
In fact, they had already built their own nests in this building.
At this moment, the Red Jade Spider, having clearly had a full meal, obediently lay in Gu Xinghe's palm.
According to the thoughts that Red Spider conveyed to him at this time.
Gu Xinghe knew that the insects hiding in the house they were currently living in had been quietly eliminated by the Red Jade Spiders.
But even after a hearty meal, the red spider did not grow much larger.
However, the red color on its body seemed to have become more translucent, as if there were ripples of light flowing on it.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe walked towards the corner of the room where he had previously kicked off a small piece of plaster.
After forcefully breaking off a small piece of the wall with his bare hands, Gu Xinghe was presented with something different from before.
The insects that had previously infiltrated the entire room by hiding under the walls had vanished.
Instead, what seemed to support the entire house were the spider webs embedded in the walls.
At this moment, after breaking off the wall block and creating some distance, Gu Xinghe noticed that the wall block still had a thread connecting it to the original wall surface.
Just like a lotus root that remains connected even after being broken.
At this moment, the entire house seemed to be supported by spider silk that was quietly embedded within it.
After eliminating all the insects in the room, the red jade spider was clearly not satisfied.
At this point, they took the initiative and turned the original insect nest into their own.
It seemed quite at ease letting Gu Xinghe stay in the nest it had woven.
He sensed the joy and affection that the red jade spider was conveying to him.
Gu Xinghe happily stroked and teased it.
A moment later, sensing Gu Xinghe's message to it again, the Red Jade Spider reported to Gu Xinghe in its consciousness.
He then left the house and went to work diligently—beginning his insect-hunting expeditions throughout the town.
Watching the red jade spider leave.
Gu Xinghe placed the numerous insect corpses it brought back, as well as the live specimens paralyzed by its toxins, into the corresponding reagent bottles.
After throwing these things into his storage space, he went to bed to rest.
The next morning.
Shortly after Gu Xinghe and Chu Lianggang got up, there was a knock on the door of their house.
Upon opening the door, Mayor Blanco and Deputy Mayor Sandy were standing outside.
"Good morning, detectives. It looks like you had a good night's rest last night."
As I said yesterday, we actually have quite a few clues about the causes of the insect plague.
As far as we know, the insect infestation seems to be related to a strange house in the town.
Why don't we go there and investigate first?
But when he heard that Blanco seemed to be taking the two of them directly to the Zerg hive's main base, Gu Xinghe politely declined.
"Mayor Blanco, no rush. Why don't you take us to see the wheat field with the strange patterns on it first?"
After all, we should first gather more comprehensive clues and information.
"That's... okay."
Upon hearing Gu Xinghe's request, Blanco hesitated before nodding.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe looked calm and composed.
Mayor Blanco, however, kept urging them to go to his predetermined destination.
Even as a new player, Chu Liang, who was entering the game instance for the first time, sensed that something was amiss.
At this moment, he looked at Gu Xinghe with a surprised and doubtful expression as if he had discovered the truth, only to find that the other party simply shook his head at him indifferently.
Seeing this, Chu Liang felt he understood again—
[I get it! The big boss must have seen through the huge conspiracy behind Mayor Blanco and Deputy Mayor Sandy a long time ago.]
[They deliberately didn't remind me because they wanted to use my natural reaction to extract more information from me.]
[By now, Boss Gu must already have a complete plan in mind to deal with these two people and then conquer the dungeon!]
No, I didn't.
They knew there was a conspiracy because they directly "read" it out.
If I absolutely had to come up with an ultimate solution...
That would be something I could consider—letting me blow up that house that's become a bug nest from the outside.
Listening to Chu Liang's inner thoughts, Gu Xinghe silently complained in his heart.
