Chapter 26 "Father and Son" 26 Young Master, You Must Listen to Your Majesty...
They went to the manor kitchen to find hot water and vinegar, but it was obvious that these were of no use to the wax on Fang Yu's hands.
These were more like living things than normal wax, and they were swallowing Fang Yu's hands bit by bit.
At first it was just a tiny dot, but now it has expanded to half the size of your palm.
Li Hang and Yang Zecheng went to the basement. They had some props in their hands that could keep them alive. They thought it was just a one-time thing, but when they came up, they told Zhuci that the rooms downstairs were basically locked.
Zhu Ci frowned. It was clearly open last night, so it couldn't have been locked again. Who did it?
The entrance to the basement is located at the bottom of the stairs and is actually quite hidden. If Zhuci hadn't been teleported there all the time, he wouldn't have noticed it so early.
Looking at the darkness below, Zhu Ci frowned, with tears in his right eye. It seemed unclear whether he was thinking or being stubborn.
"Brother Ci, if you don't want to go down, forget it. Maybe the door was closed when you went downstairs, and it will be locked after you come up?" Xu thought secretly.
"Yeah." Zhu Ci nodded in approval.
【“Hahaha, it seems like the host really doesn’t want to go down.”
"She's kind of cute, but why does she seem so watery?"
"Uh uh uh, upstairs, the anchor just had incontinence of tears, don't talk so weird."
"Come to think of it, it's really strange that the anchor's eyes didn't swell and his nose didn't feel sore even after crying like that. It feels more like a curse from the dungeon than physical tear incontinence."
"The name of the streamer's live broadcast room and the way he speaks in his virtual speech seem to be cursing him. Moreover, it's the first time for a new player to enter a dungeon of this difficulty, and none of his teammates are very strong. It seems that the game wants him to die."
"The above analysis makes sense, but I suspect this is a new marketing method."】
…
Since the basement was locked, they could only find a way to get the key.
Fang Yu said: "It's okay, I can just cut off my hand."
Zhu Ci looked at her and said, "I have a way, you can try it."
The right hand is still very important to Fang Yu. After all, she is right-handed. Without her right hand, she can't play any role in this copy. Moreover, potion treatment can't stop the bleeding from the wound in a short time, and the bloody smell may even irritate ghosts within a certain range.
Hearing him say there was a solution, Li Hang raised his head and asked, "What solution?"
Zhu Ci said softly: "It's okay, you don't need to do anything."
…
By the afternoon, they finally understood what the speech was about.
After dinner at five o'clock, it was time to tell stories to the giant baby.
Among the six people, two have already been mentioned. Fang Yu now has a negative buff on him, Li Hang has suffered a mental attack, and the rest are Zhu Ci and Xu An.
The giant baby was still lying on the bed, like a huge bomb, with a malicious smile on his face, as if he was certain that something terrible and torturous would happen tonight.
Zhu Ci looked at him, met his eyes, and stared for a long time.
The other players looked at the blessing and then at the giant baby. For some reason, they felt a sense of fear.
[“Why is the anchor staring at this ugly monster?”
"This boss seems to have retreated."
"This is so funny. I said from the beginning that the anchor is more suitable to be a villain."】
"What are you doing?" the giant baby spoke.
Zhu Ci said: "Let's see if you are scary or not."
“…”
Zhuci's answer was also explosive. Isn't it clear whether he is scary or not? How did they get through these two nights? And this boss doesn't need to look scary, right? He is the type of person who is disgusting.
The giant baby stared at Zhu Ci angrily, but was forced to look away by his cold and scrutinizing gaze.
What kind of player is this? Staring directly at the Boss for so long. When will his death condition be such that he will die just by looking directly at the Boss?
"Brother Ci, let's tell a story." Xu An said.
Although it's a bit funny, what if someone tricks them again?
The purpose of his speech was actually just to feel whether the voyeurism in room 104 came from this boss. Now after his test, he felt a little disappointed.
"You! Lift me over!" the giant baby shouted.
This time, Zhu Ci didn't need to do anything. Yang Zecheng and Xu An directly moved the table over to him without listening to the giant baby's orders at all.
Zhu Ci picked up the storybook and said bluntly, "Listen if you want to. Get lost if you don't want to."
The other players tried hard to suppress the corners of their mouths. If nothing else, this scene was really cool.
[“Hahaha, the host scolded the boss with his facial expression. How can he be so brave?”
"Boss probably has never been wronged like this before."
"If I were a teammate, I would die of laughter."
"Will he really not die like this?"】
It is obvious that no matter how much Zhu Ci curses at this boss, he will not die.
The giant baby started to smash things in anger, but he had too much flesh on his body and his attack power was too weak, so he couldn't hit Zhuci at all.
Zhu Ci watched him throwing things but did not stop him, as long as he could dodge them. He just looked at the giant baby with a cold gaze.
The look on his face made Giant Baby want to kick them out right away, even if he didn't want to hear the story, but for some reason, he still held back.
Zhu Ci said: "Have you thrown enough?"
[“Hahahaha,” the anchor thought. What he smashed wasn’t his stuff.]
"This is the first time I've seen my boss get so angry."
"They are going to be in trouble tonight."】
The housekeeper reminded: "Young Master, you haven't heard the story yet."
The giant baby was so angry that his flesh was shaking, and he looked even more disgusting.
Zhu Ci opened the storybook and waited for him to calm down.
The storybook of the third day still came with mental attacks, but Zhuci was indifferent at heart.
He looked at the page in the book where the villain had depicted him being cut into pieces, and commented calmly, "It's a bad painting."
It seems that the content of the story book is related to Ju Ying's state of mind. Zhu Ci read the booklet before his speech, and his mind was also somewhat polluted, but compared to Li Hang, he seemed much calmer.
Zhu Ci vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen an even more horrific scene, which left an indelible scar in his heart. But now he only remembered the pain but not the specific scene. But no matter what, it was much more painful than witnessing his own death over and over again.
Xu An came over to take a look, and the original painting was still in his eyes.
"It's really bad. It's not as good as my sketch."
"What story do you want to tell? Tell it quickly!" the giant baby said angrily.
He never wanted to see these players again, so he wanted them all to die tonight!
Zhu Ci calmly moved the storybook closer to the Boss. He pointed to where the two little men were supposed to be standing and said, "This story is about me, your father, Li Xiaocheng."
When these words came out, the other players were collectively stunned.
They feel like their cerebellum has shrunk.
Isn't a normal story supposed to be about what happened to other people? It's either he or be, this is...
The giant baby suddenly looked at him in horror: "How do you know my name!"
Zhu Ci stood up and a bunch of keys appeared in his hand: "Obviously, I am your father, so it is normal for me to know."
"How could you? How could you get it?"
In the original conception, no matter what story the players told, they would inevitably face a life-or-death situation at night. The giant baby had already thought about how to arrange the night to ensure their death, but what did the speech say?
"Brother Ci, you..." Xu An looked at the giant baby. After a while, he uttered, "Your son is too ugly. He doesn't look like you at all."
【“Hahaha, I thought he was going to say something nice.”
"The anchor said he wants to be Boss's father? Huh?"
"What a ghost story! My cerebellum has shrunk."
"What's the point? The point is to see the boss's reaction and whether the copy has approved it!"
"Fuck, the anchor is cheating, totally cheating!"
"Is this how the key and the boss' name are supposed to be used? Hmm? To identify relatives?"
"I thought only real-life games had loopholes. Could this game have them too?"
"Ahhh, rewrite the code, rewrite it!"
"Hahaha, where did the code come from upstairs?"
…
Under the giant baby's horrified gaze, the system actually issued a prompt.
[Congratulations to the player for gaining 50% control of the dungeon and 80% progress in plot exploration]
Li Hang widened his eyes and stared at Zhu Ci's back in shock.
Not only him, but everyone else also looked like they had seen a ghost.
"What?"
It's fine that the plot exploration progress increased by 10%, but how about gaining 50% of the control?
Can the game instance be controlled by the player? It must be a bug.
Sure enough, the next second, the system sent a message [Bug detected, game crashed 50%, temporarily unfixable. ]
Xu An really couldn't help but shouted, "Brother Ci is awesome."
Congratulations: "..."
He just said it casually, and he never thought that the owner of the manor would be such a bug. However, this is not necessarily a good thing.
Since the manor owner originally controls 50% of the copy management rights, he must be in a Schrödinger state.
He both exists and doesn't exist, so how does the story about him unfold?
Compared to Zhuci's worries, the others instantly felt relieved.
Since Zhuci has been cheated, they should be safe from now on and won't have to face any annoying pursuits at night.
"It's those bastards! Damn it, how did you find them so quickly!" Li Xiaocheng roared angrily, and then stared at Zhu Ci with resentment, "You are not my father."
Zhu Ci said: "You want a father, and I want a son, it's just right."
He stared at the Boss. Although he felt disgusted, he still believed that a father should not dislike his son’s ugliness, so he slowly said, “Call me daddy.”
The copy was called "Father and Son", and Zhu Ci estimated that he had the rights of a father over this Boss.
Li Xiaocheng looked very reluctant, or rather, he wished he was one of those monsters outside who could chop people with a knife. It would be best if he could cut the young man in front of him into pieces, and then chop off his head with a terrified expression and place it in the room as an eternal trophy.
The housekeeper beside him suddenly spoke indifferently: "Young Master, you must listen to the old master."
