Chapter 32: "Father and Son" Ends

Outside, Xu An had already led people into the house. They clearly heard the intense noise, but there was no one in the house.

He came up because he was worried about the speech. He had already made up his mind to fight to the death, but the current situation made him a little confused.

Xu An looked at the window curtains that were blown up by the wind. He breathed a sigh of relief but at the same time he was thinking, did he jump out of the window?

"How is it?"

Others followed.

"No, Brother Ci is not in there."

"Is that so?" Mo Anan was a little worried. That man was too weird. In each other's eyes, they were probably as small as ants.

Just now the system reminded them that the plot exploration has reached 95%, but there is still 5% to be explored, and they don’t know what to do.

They distributed the holy water to the NPCs, and as the wax disappeared, they returned to their original form.

The housekeeper looked like a kind woman, and some of the maids looked like children only 1.2 meters tall. Some were former staff members of the welfare home, and the rest were headless corpses.

If it was a living person, the whole person would be wrapped in stiff wax and it would be suffocating.

There are many headless corpses among the gardeners. They look like outsiders who were implicated innocently.

After losing that layer of skin, they seemed to regain some consciousness, but were still a little dazed.

The former dean looked at all this and tears came out of his eyes. He seemed to find it hard to accept the reality.

They also went out to water the plants.

The girl, who was engulfed in flames, shook her head at them: "A person who has lost his body cannot accept this kind of baptism."

Zhang Xiaowei looked towards the manor and keenly caught the familiar breath of recovery.

"Luckily, you're leaving."

She seemed to be looking at someone from afar across the wall, and her voice was filled with sighs and emotion.

The players naturally couldn't understand her feelings, but they were also sighing in their hearts.

Players who died in this dungeon could not be resurrected, and some of them stayed here forever.

…

"Nothing will happen to Brother Ci." Xu An said firmly.

Having learned from the previous experience, the other players remained silent. They were all waiting for a miracle to happen, and they felt that the probability of it happening was very high.

Mo Anan nodded: "Indeed, I believe in the speech."

Fang Yu also nodded.

Li Hang looked at them and sighed. At this point, he had to admit that even though Zhu Ci was a newcomer, he was indeed a powerful character.

Tonight they will wait for the sound of a miracle.

…

It's already 11 o'clock.

Zhu Ci took his cane, took a deep breath, and left the flat space.

Back in the darkness again, he remained extremely alert.

The room is empty.

He looked around carefully and reached behind the door with his crutch. Good, he could go in.

The moment Zhu Ci stepped into the door, he suddenly felt as if a thorn was on his back. He looked back and was suddenly startled.

A familiar figure stood by the window.

The window was opened, the wind blew his long hair, and the moonlight cast a silver edge on him. The other person looked at him with a half-smile, then walked towards him.

She is pretty enough and sick enough that Zhu Ci would run away if he saw her.

Congratulations: "..."

He didn't want to see this lingering guy anymore, so he turned around and plunged into the darkness.

After entering the world inside, a strong feeling of suffocation came over me.

This is a world of the dead. Living people will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable entering it.

It was empty and pitch black inside, but Zhu Ci seemed to be able to see it.

A familiar tune sounded, guiding the direction of the blessing speech, and the blessing speech ran in the direction of the piano sound.

If he had entered at the beginning, perhaps what he saw would not be what he sees now.

Following his steps deeper into the cave, tiny stars lit up all around, as if elves were escorting Zhuci's progress, or as if countless young dreams were setting sail.

On the way, Zhu Ci saw a piano and a child was playing it.

Is it Lin Yumo?

He kept walking forward and finally saw a door.

He had a hunch that this was the master bedroom.

At the door, the child playing the piano was still there. No matter how far Zhuci ran, he was always there, but his body was gradually growing bigger.

The original child grew into a green teenager, and then turned into a bright and handsome young man. The piano music in his hands became more beautiful. His fingers flew over the keys, blending his emotions and skills.

He couldn't tell what song this was, as it was different from the original one, but that didn't stop him from thinking it was nice.

If they had not experienced these things, how bright would the future of these children be?

Zhu Ci took out the key and inserted it into the door.

The door opened and half of his body was already inside.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed him.

Zhu Ci turned around and saw the face of the visitor. Against the backdrop of the fluorescent light behind him, the other person seemed unreal.

He held him stubbornly with his eyes sullen.

Zhu Ci's face was grim, and his words were not like his usual self: "Brother, people need to rest after work. Can you leave work earlier and come to work at a fixed time?"

"..." The other party suddenly showed him a playful smile, "Okay, see you next time."

The hand that was holding his suddenly let go, and the pale and beautiful fingers were the last impression in Zhu Ci's eyes.

As he fell, Zhu Ci looked at the finger marks on his body and made a "tsk" sound.

We can't live like this any longer.

…

What's behind the door?

Zhu Ci saw a lot of fragmented pictures.

Without Li Xiaocheng's interference, Lin Yumo and Zhang Xiaowei were taken away, and they grew up together to become outstanding people, shining in their respective fields. Li Xiaocheng went astray because of jealousy in his heart and was arrested and imprisoned.

He also saw how people in the orphanage died.

An unknown fire surrounded the place.

Zhang Xiaowei did not die in the fire. She could have survived, but after witnessing the death of her companions, she did not have the courage to live, so she chose to commit suicide.

After committing suicide, he regretted his cowardice.

Lin Yumo was killed by Li Xiaocheng. His fingers, face, and eyes all suffered irreversible damage.

Many other children lost their lives in the fire.

Finally, these dead souls gathered together, holding hands and running towards the light.

The scene behind the door did not stop.

Li Xiaocheng was torn apart by the vengeful souls and kept repeating the process of death. He wailed and suffered, paying the price for his inner narrow-mindedness.

The scene changed again, and he saw the manor.

As the system exploration rate reached 100%, a huge fire started, destroying everything.

It's the dean.

She embraced the children again in the firelight, and together they returned to the starting point of their fate after death, freeing the imprisoned souls.

The players also left the dungeon after the system prompt sounded.

…

Is all this Li Xiaocheng's dream, or these souls' vision of the future? Which is true and which is false?

A soothing piano sound rang out from the fire. It was still the original tune, but it seemed to have changed. The flames burned away the resentment in it, returning to inner peace.

The boy sitting on the piano completed his final farewell. His soul returned to its purest form and a peaceful smile appeared on his face. Then he stood up, bowed, and walked towards Zhang Xiaowei. They held hands and walked towards the dean's arms tacitly.

Zhu Ci thought, maybe there are two worlds, and their frustrations in one world were satisfied in another time and space.

It turns out that behind the door, which represents the father, is a fork in the road of fate, a choice, and redemption.

[The exploration degree of the copy "Father and Son" is 100%, and it is permanently closed. 】

【Congratulations to the player for successfully completing the game. 】

…

【“Did those children die?”

"Is this Li Xiaocheng's unfulfilled dream, or are these children really dead?"

"Permanently closed. Oh my god, the exploration level must have been exceeded."

"Won't the anchor's rating be raised to a higher level immediately?"

"I am more inclined to believe that all the children in this instance died. Because people with dark hearts don't have the heart to dream of people like Zhang Xiaowei and Lin Yumo. If they really dreamed of them, they would have directly backstabbed the anchor later."

"What if it's because the dream is not 100% controlled by the person? With the intervention of this game system, everything is possible."

"It doesn't matter, it's just a copy. I'm more interested in knowing the host's performance."

The performance of the congratulatory speech was exceptionally brilliant.

However, this game does not have an official level division for players. Players simply divide themselves into levels based on percentages according to the rankings.

[Player congratulations, copy personal performance rating 99, "Father and Son" copy level, A level, total score 99000. The first copy doubles to 198000. ]

The game algorithm is to multiply the individual's performance by the corresponding level of the copy. D-level is multiplied by 1, C-level is multiplied by 10, B-level is multiplied by 100, A-level is multiplied by 1000, and S-level is multiplied by 10000.

A score of 99 is really excellent, and basically no player will enter the A-level dungeon as soon as they enter the game, let alone survive after entering it.

So in the game hall, a name directly topped the rookie list.

congratulatory speech.

The ranking on the overall list also directly entered the top 1,000. This speed can be called riding a rocket.

Not only that, Zhu Ci also earned a lot of points from live broadcast rewards in the live broadcast room, although he himself did not count this.

His points were now in the hundreds of thousands, directly entering the top five thousand points list.

There is no way to compare the points list, after all, he only experienced one live broadcast, and it is unknown how long this game has existed.

Regardless, the name Zhuci has become famous in horror games.

Furthermore, the person who pulled out the Shinin Sword from the game hall was almost certainly Zhuci.

Many guilds and many people wanted to find him because of their own wishes, but Zhuci did not stay in the game world for long. He did not even care about the changes in his ranking and did not even listen to the settlement voice seriously.

Oh, he still has things he cares about, like he tries hard to find a button to turn off the live broadcast, or even a button to turn off the gift, but the system repeatedly prompts [Unable to turn off, please try again later].

Congratulations: "..."

He half-heartedly wanted to report this crappy game for invasion of privacy.

But the scary thing about this game is that it doesn't have a report button.

In desperation, Zhu Ci wanted to go back and deal with Shen Wu first.
