Chapter 109: "The Road to Heaven" 1 People will not step into a trap more than once...

…

When did you realize something was wrong?

Zhuci drank his coffee, watching the golden dots on the horizon merge with the deep blue in the distance.

"Put on your socks, or you might catch a cold."

A man's concerned voice came from behind.

It has been four days since that night. During these four nights, his dreams were all kinds of strange, but without exception, he killed many people, sometimes with a gun, sometimes with a knife. At the end of the killing, his face would become misty.

It's really strange. In the copy, it was Shen Wu who kept saying that the person who wanted to kill him was Shen Wu, so why was he the one killing people in the dream?

I don't quite understand the words, but after counting the days, it seems that the time to enter the next dungeon is approaching.

Zhu Ci finished the coffee in his mouth and exhaled a long breath: "Shen Wu, let's break up."

He looked out the window at the emptiness and silence, but didn't look at the person he was talking to.

As a boyfriend, Shen Wu is very qualified, considerate and capable, and he can also make money. It seems inexplicable that the vested interests would break up with him.

Because he didn't turn around, Zhu Ci didn't see Shen Wu standing next to him. There was no light in the room, so his face was still hidden in the darkness. His eyes moved slightly, and then looked even gloomier.

The silence that followed seemed to be for better words, but he didn't say anything, but his eyes searched around.

Zhu Ci turned his head slowly.

"I thought you should have mentioned it four days ago." Unexpectedly, his tone was calm, as if he had expected it, if you ignored the throbbing veins on his hand.

Zhu Ci felt a little upset when he heard this: "Yes, I should have mentioned it."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the door.

Shen Wu stood in the same place as before, his eyes following his back. The morning glow finally shone on him a little bit, giving him a layer of mysterious golden edge.

He chuckled and said nothing. The speech never left his sight from beginning to end, and it was still the same now.

Soon, a voice of congratulation sounded: "When did you change the door lock?"

There was a hint of surprise in Zhuci's voice, because he had clearly been with Shen Wu for the past four days, and if the other party had changed the lock, he would not have failed to notice it with his current alertness.

"Don't keep the lock unlocked. It's not good for your hands."

The door lock made a clicking sound and Zhu Ci couldn't help but kick it.

Shen Wu took a sip of coffee and said, "Kicking the door isn't a good idea either."

"What exactly do you want to do?" The guilt he felt at the beginning was gone now, and Zhu Ci felt it was ridiculous.

"I lack a sense of security." Shen Wu glanced at him lightly, slowly turned into the bedroom, and threw a coat to him.

"Huh?" Zhu Ci took the clothes and thought it was ridiculous. "Do you know that what you are doing is against the law?"

"It's just changing the door lock. You lost the key. Can't you make a phone call and ask a friend to help you?" Shen Wu sat down calmly, took out his computer, and gave Zhu Ci some advice.

Greeting: "...You wouldn't have done anything wrong, would you?"

Zhu Ci took out his cell phone and took a look.

No signal?

"You blocked the signal?"

Shen Wu chuckled: "You are so cute, why don't you check the text message?"

After a while, Zhu Ci looked at his overdue mobile phone and fell into deep thought. As for the wireless network, it was also paid by Shen Wu, so it was probably gone too.

"I've been the one who gave you your number. You forgot it, right?"

Zhu Ci calmed down for a moment, then sat down opposite him and looked at Shen Wu again, as if he was meeting him for the first time.

"Why don't you ask?"

Greetings: "I don't want to know. You can't stay at home all the time anyway."

"Why not?" Shen Wu heard this, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious. "I didn't submit your leave application, and my working hours are flexible. As for the food problem, you don't have to worry about it."

Each of these pieces seems to be unrelated, but now they are strung together in an inexplicably terrifying way.

Shen Wu not only knew that he would break up soon, but also knew who he was in contact with? She even predicted his actions?

"I have another one behind me..."

"It's okay. There are many people who can replace you anyway. Besides, you have already made such a plan."

Zhu Ci was speechless. He had no parents and was a cold person. After thinking about it, he realized that even if he was locked up for a year, no one would find out.

"When did you plan to do this?"

"recent."

"Recently?" Zhu Ci obviously didn't believe it.

"Yeah, seeing as you've become much cuter before, I thought you wouldn't abandon me."

Zhu Ci stood up with a cold face, walked to the window sill, and gave up the idea after just one glance at him.

Well, because he has no experience in jumping off a building.

Zhu Ci fell silent. He wondered if he had been made useless.

The answer is, yes, he was abandoned.

The life that followed was actually no different from before, except that I was disconnected from the Internet.

I originally wanted to have a cold war, but the problem was that Zhuci didn't talk much and was very passive to begin with.

"Actually, I was quite surprised by the book you brought back that day."

Shen Wu looked at Zhu Ci's bitter and resentful face and shook his head helplessly, but with a smile on his face. Zhu Ci's reaction was at most that he couldn't believe that he actually lost.

After all, I'm used to having everything go my way, and this is probably the first time I've been plotted against.

"We broke up, don't talk to me."

"Don't you want to know why I trapped you here?" Shen Wu asked.

Zhu Ci raised his head: "Because of the breakup?"

"That's right. Why did you break up with me? Zhuci." There was some inexplicable emotion in his voice when he asked, as if he was dominated by a deep obsession. The look he gave Zhuci was no longer as gentle as before.

"Shen Wu, I'm not a fool. The reason I got into this situation is not because I didn't know, but because I wanted to." Zhu Ci looked at him, "But have you confessed to me?"

"'Would you like'? These are really nice words. This is the first time I've heard them." Shen Wu laughed again, and then slowly approached Zhuge Liang who was sitting on the sofa.

"But time and space will become one, and you who know the truth will still reach the predetermined ending."

Zhu Ci felt the long-lost sense of oppression when he approached him. He rested his hands on the sofa, feeling a little unhappy.

"It's a pity that you haven't read the book. In fact, the countdown ending is fake. In order to beg for that warm illusion, he also tried to be honest and flattering, and to be a fool, but the countdown above his head never stopped. And the only thing that can kill and drive a person crazy is actually his own powerlessness. He can't control it firmly when he has it. If he lets it go, it will form a vicious circle."

"You are saying..." Before Zhushou could finish his words, a passionate kiss came upon him.

At that moment, Zhu Ci caught a glimpse of the sunlight outside the window. He did not immediately understand what time of year the light came from. He only remembered that it was so hot that it was difficult to look directly at, as if... as if this was the last time light would shine through this window.

This scene was deeply engraved in his mind, and the impression was repeatedly deepened amidst the feeling of almost suffocation.

Yes, what people hate most is their own powerlessness, and at the same time they should pay for their ignorance and arrogance.

…

Zhu Ci finally finished reading the book. He put it back on the bookshelf and then came to the door.

It is impossible for a person to fall into a trap more than once.

After leaving the copy, he actually spent some time learning how to open locks, whether they were smart locks or locks with keyholes. The reason he couldn't leave so quickly was that he couldn't find the opportunity and was not proficient enough.

Moreover, how can someone who has the gaming space be trapped so easily?

When Zhu Ci went out, there was someone waiting outside to meet him.

When he left, he took nothing with him except his cell phone, earphones and watch. He left so cleanly that it seemed as if he was only leaving temporarily.

The car started and drove away from the area. As it went further and further away, someone was looking in this direction, as if he could see it from the beginning to the end.

It is impossible for a person to fall into a trap more than once. What if he falls into it and cannot climb out?

"Would you like something to eat?" someone asked.

Zhu Ci glanced back casually and said, "No, I've already eaten."

He seemed to have thought of something, and then said, "Pay attention to the road, don't fall into the pit."

…

We soon arrived at the apartment.

This time was different from usual. There were many people in uniform sitting around in the room, chattering and discussing to decide the future direction of the speech.

"Have you made up your mind? To take charge of the second half of the plan and work towards destroying this game?"

Speech: "I only accept the elimination game, but I do not accept this plan."

His words were obviously contrary to the original goals and interests of these people, and soon aroused dissatisfaction among some people.

Obviously, they were more optimistic about the previous study than the value of Zhu Ci himself.

Zhu said: "I don't need any high-level special treatment, and I won't join the guild. As for my value, you will see it later."

Apart from that, he didn't want to say anything else. Although the others looked unhappy, Zhusi was in no mood to talk to them.

"If you don't want to, that's fine. When will that be? You might as well prove your worth now."

Zhu Ci looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a stern look.

"That's enough. He is my guest, and the orphan of an old friend. Isn't it discouraging people by doing this?" Xing Boyi stopped them.

"That plan is the result of his parents' hard work."

…

Seeing the quarrel break out, Zhu Ci just watched coldly without saying a word.

They will understand the position of the speech, and will also understand that parents whom he has never met are nothing in his eyes. He never needs to reach a subordinate relationship with others, and at most he just cooperates.

…

In the end, Black Hat overcame all objections and allowed him to stay.

Zhu Ci sat in the room in a daze for a while, he had known it would turn out like this, there was no good thing in this world that fell from the sky, only eternal interests, this place might not be better than before, but to be honest, this kind of open challenge was easier to deal with than emotional problems.

He was actually very worried that one day he would not be able to distinguish between dreams, games and reality and would kill people around him.

Zhuci calculated the time and decided to play the game first.

The game was a space of its own. He opened the system store and searched for a while.

"What are you looking for?"

The sudden sound made Zhushou feel a little bit unhappy.

"Why are you here again?"

It's that doll.

"You brought me back because I thought you might need some guidance in life." The wooden doll crawled out of his space again.

"Instruction? Are you kidding?"

"It's right to let go of the past because it's too familiar. Everything about you has been predicted. I think you should have noticed it too." Wawa said to himself.

Zhu Ci stared at him and asked, "Who on earth are you?"

"Stuff? Want to take a look at my copy?"

"You are a character in the copy? How is it possible that you can exist outside the copy?" Zhu Ci said as he suddenly thought of something. His eyes flashed. Puppet?

This person has never been seen in his true form, only a puppet has appeared.

"This game never allows winners to exist." The puppet smiled slightly, "How can I meet you without using tricks?"

"Then Xu An, are you preparing for meeting me?" Zhu Ci found it a bit ridiculous. What's so important about him?

"Yes, I secretly let him out. When he met you, his mission was naturally completed." The puppet said, "Enter the personal copy I created, and you will have a wonderful experience."

Personal copy? Zhu Ci frowned and said, "I refuse."

However, it seems to be popular now not to give people a chance to speak. Zhu Ci expressed his protest, but was still pulled in without any discussion.

There was darkness in front of my eyes and the noise of the system was in my ears.

"Zizizizi." It was as if the program had been hacked and it couldn't speak.

It was a long time before he heard a familiar voice.

【Welcome to the dungeon "Road to Heaven", the difficulty is S+ level, just survive to the final ending in the dungeon.】

A speech is like eyes opening in the midst of a noise.

"Yo, this guy finally woke up."

"..." Zhu Ci sat up and looked around. He found himself in a small courtyard surrounded by six houses, and there were six people around him.

"Hello, my name is Zhou Nian." Someone patted him on the shoulder with a kind tone.

Zhu Ci turned around and looked at him. This man had a weak and vulnerable face, but judging from his Adam's apple, he should be a boy with feminine appearance.

"Hello, my name is Zhu Ci." Zhu Ci said.

Hearing this, the people around him turned their eyes to him.

Zhu Ci frowned and was about to ask if there was a problem when he heard a boy say in a sinister tone, "Hey, your pseudonym is the same as someone else's. Your name is Zhu Ci, what's that person's name?"

Congratulations: “???”

When he turned his head to look, a man in white with a mask on his face turned his head towards him.

As their eyes met, Zhuci fell into silence.

"Real name." The man explained to the boy, but his tone was flat.

The boy looked at Zhuci with a half-smile: "What about you? Is this your real name?"

Zhu Ci tried to remain calm: "It's not that I can't change my name."

"Hahaha, that's quite interesting. There's a room missing, why don't you two squeeze in?"

The rooms were obviously meant for one person, and sharing one with two people wasn't sure if it would violate any taboos. The boy was obviously joking and testing the waters.

Zhu Ci looked at the boy and said, "I want to squeeze in with you. Do you agree?"

The boy's expression changed immediately. He said expressionlessly and even with a hint of disgust: "I disagree."

"It's best for minors to find a guardian for themselves so they don't get scared and cry when they sleep alone." Zhu Ci commented expressionlessly.

The boy looked quite young, with a very immature face that looked underdeveloped. There were two people standing next to him who also seemed very young. They must be from the same group.

"You're talking nonsense, he's already an adult!" the little girl emphasized, but was glared at by the boy.

"Dwarf?" Zhu Ci asked bluntly.

"...Haha, OK, you can share a room with me." The boy suddenly changed his tone, but his expression was obviously cold. His original appearance was not bad.

I don't think it's because of a dwarf, but because of some props or other special abilities.

"You come with me."

Zhu Ci looked up and found that it was the man in white with the same name as himself.

"good."

Zhuci walked towards him.

Suddenly, the man in white reached out and pulled him.

Before Zhuci could react, a needle passed by him.

The moment Zhuci touched the man in white, he heard the system's voice: "Save has been opened."

Zhu Ci looked sideways. Because of the previous quarrel, he was more inclined to think that this man wanted to kill him.

The boy frowned and looked at him: "Why are you looking at me?"

The man in white said, "Come in and we'll talk."

Zhu Ci's eyes turned slightly, and a white light flashed in front of his eyes from time to time. He didn't know what was going on.

Because of this, they had the right to choose the house first.

The man in white walked straight to one of the rooms. The room was simply furnished with a bed, a table, a stool, and nothing else.

After closing the door, the man in white said, "It's the person who was standing next to you just now."

Zhu Ci knew that he was talking about the man who had just attacked him. The person standing next to him was Zhou Nian?

"Thank you."

"It's OK."

This person seemed to dislike talking and walked out after he finished speaking.

Zhu Ci stood at the door and looked outside. The people outside seemed to be arguing about something.

The mission of this copy is to survive, and the terrain here is extremely simple, as if it is confined to this small courtyard. The structure of the room is also astonishingly simple. If it's just about surviving, then what's the difficulty?

The people outside were discussing something. Zhu Ci was still some distance away from them when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

A knife stabbed into his body from the front.

Congratulations: “???”

He looked in disbelief at the young man who seemed to have teleported to the front. He had never seen such a speed in a ghost before.

The boy winked at him and smiled smugly: "Sorry, after looking around here, I think you're the easiest to kill."

…

Zhu Ci opened his eyes again and returned to the saved time. He broke out in a cold sweat on his back. How could he possibly dodge at that speed?

The surroundings were quiet, but because of his sudden change in expression, several people raised their eyebrows, somewhat surprised.

Zhuci looked them over carefully.

Zhou Nian still smiled at him gently, a woman stood there with a weak presence, the boy who spoke harshly looked at him coldly, there was also a boy who looked very shy and a girl who stared at him with curiosity.

Occasionally, white light flashed before Zhu Ci's eyes. He carefully observed it for a while and finally discovered that it was a weapon.

These people are...testing each other?

Congratulations: "..."

The good news is that they're not targeting him, the bad news is that he might be the easiest target to kill here.
