Chapter 57: Twins 22: Harsh

Zhu Ci stood up straight and turned to look at her warily.

"You're right not to touch it now. You can do it in the evening." Li Hongmei didn't say much, but turned and left.

[“Did the anchor escape a disaster?”

"Is it possible that it is a sword that will suck the life out of its user?"

"It's really scary. I still don't understand how the anchor can get out of this situation."

】

At least now I know that becoming a formal nanny does not mean immediate death.

Zhu Ci followed Li Hongmei and left this place, but they did not stay here, but turned in another direction.

Li Hongmei said that she would bring the congratulatory speech to inherit the power of the formal employees.

When turning, Zhu Ci tilted his head slightly, and his clear eyes glanced at the road he had walked before, but they disappeared without stopping.

Behind him, several familiar figures appeared.

[“The host’s look…”

“It feels like the anchor knows what others will do.”

"Boss Meng and Boss Mo teamed up to deceive Andy, hahahaha."

"God's perspective, well, Andy originally planned to steal the sword later, but now he seems to be planning to do it sooner."

"So why did the anchor do this, knowing that this sword is very important to the nanny? It's so strange."】

…

Zhu Ci looked at the familiar disinfection room in front of him and felt as if he had known this for a long time.

He stared at Li Hongmei's hand and narrowed his eyes.

This password...

443230

Reverse password.

After a beep, Zhu Ci came back to his senses from his brief reverie and stared at the scene in the room nervously.

White candles lit up the room.

The warm light was exactly the same as the light that Zhuci had encountered many times.

So that was actually... the light of a white candle?

"Come in and meet your senior."

Zhu Ci followed Li Hongmei into the room.

He subconsciously glanced to the right, where there should be a figure.

The crosses in the room were arranged in the same pattern as the tombstones.

Zhuci looked at the gap in the middle.

"You stand in the middle and will be the next sword wielder."

Li Hongmei said.

Zhu Ci asked: "What about the previous swordsman?"

Li Hongmei looked to his side: "Isn't it beside you?"

Congratulations: "..."

He lowered his eyes and curled his lips to hide his smile. Then he said, "How did he die? Did his blood run dry and no bones were left? Not even any information was left?"

Li Hongmei said: "Respect your predecessors. Every swordsman should be respected. Without their contributions, you wouldn't be where you are today."

"Oh, I don't mean anything special. I just think he died too early. He was quite poor, only in his twenties. It's really pitiful. I hope he didn't commit suicide out of desperation."

Zhu Ci raised his eyebrows, not hesitating to use the harshest words to speculate about this "senior".

【“It’s so funny, the host is really sharp-tongued from time to time.”

"What do you mean by 'I didn't mean anything else', 'being a coward', 'killing oneself when desperate'? The anchor is making fun of him, right?"

"I was laughing just now, but I guess you were just making fun of me. That's so mean."】

…

Li Hongmei: "..." Is it too late for her to change the person wielding the sword now?

The candlelight suddenly gathered together and condensed into a human figure. The other person gently squeezed Zhu Ci's hand and leaned over to hug him.

Zhu Ci: "..." He turned his head and moved his body, but he couldn't escape such an illusory embrace. Then he said, "Did this senior have a head injury?"

Li Hongmei could see that Shen Xiaobai liked the speech very much.

"Watch your words, but this does not mean you can gain the sword's approval." Li Hongmei said this. She had no idea why the intern, whose words satisfied her before, suddenly changed his attitude.

Looking at the middle position, Zhu Ci hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Will they disappear after receiving the power?"

"Yes, it will disappear temporarily." Li Hongmei said.

Zhu Ci reached out his hand and gently touched the edge of the light, feeling the warmth for a moment, and then said, "Well, can I learn some experience from the seniors here before inheriting this power?"

"Okay, whatever you want."

The moment Li Hongmei turned around, Zhu Ci saw the sadness hidden beneath her weather-beaten face.

"Senior, before you became a nanny, you must have been an excellent exorcist."

"...No, I'm just an ordinary special nanny."

Zhuci looked at her back as she left the door.

Li Hongmei is very skilled and knows how to exorcise demons, but she is not a formal employee according to the regulations of this copy. Perhaps, she is really just a nanny. Before being involved in this matter, she also hoped that she was just an ordinary nanny.

The door closed slowly, and in the quiet room, only the candlelight was flickering.

Zhu Ci looked at the illusory hair formed by light, wanting to push it away but unable to touch it.

"You can let go now, you're blocking my view."

As expected, she still has long hair.

Here, he could see more details than outside.

But by resting his head on top of his head, he would give the illusion that he was very short.

The other party actually let him go and stood beside him.

Zhu Ci suddenly thought of something, frowned and asked, "You won't hold me like this when I can't see you, right?"

Shadow: “…”

He drew an "X" on the palm of his hand while giving his speech.

Zhu Ci was relieved.

The number of people on the list he gave them before was more than ten, which meant that if they succeeded tonight, the soul of the nanny would still exist.

However, Zhu Ci glanced at him and said, "In order to express my guilt in advance, you can hold me and sit for a while, but you have to answer a few questions for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he returned to his previous position.

Speech: "..." In fact, he had no feeling, because the shadow was just a shadow after all, and there was no physical concept of mass.

But giving a speech is a bit tiring.

[“The host is really likable.”

"Does this count as □□, does it count?"

“Come to think of it, I think that ball of light is pretty nice, too.”

"Hehehe, I just like this kind of destined-to-be relationship. This way, the anchor will belong to me in the end."

"I am an old fan of the anchor. First of all, the anchor said that he has a partner. This is inappropriate, inappropriate, so the anchor must have broken up!"

"The guy upstairs, I agree, the anchor has broken up, he's mine!"】

…

"Where did Zhuci go?" Li Xiaoyan asked them in the room.

She felt something was wrong just now in the activity room. Although Meng Yuanzhou and Mo Yangbing spoke in a low voice, it seemed more like they said it on purpose.

"He went on an adventure." Meng Yuanzhou said, "Just like Dora."

Mo Yangbing: “…”

Wu Yi: “…”

"What time is it? What kind of hellish joke are you telling?" Li Xiaoyan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

【“Ah, this is… quite childish. I didn’t expect Mr. Meng to be so funny.”

"It can be seen that among these four people, Meng Yuanzhou trusts Zhu Ci the most. He is not worried at all."

"Dora? What's Zhuci's new nickname after the Goddess of Sleep?"

"What? What is this? When did you get this nickname? Why don't I know about it?"

"In fact, there is a joke about wearing slippers in the speech, eh."】

"Okay, Zhuci let us help Andy when necessary." Meng Yuanzhou said.

Li Xiaoyan asked: "Why?"

"Well, because Zhu Ci is not completely on the nanny's side, he said that he is more selfish and wants to have the best of both worlds." Meng Yuanzhou said.

Mo Yangbing couldn't stand it any longer: "What selfishness? What two-timing? You're just adding that to yourself."

"It's fine as long as the meaning is similar. I'm better at seeing the essence through phenomena." Meng Yuanzhou said seriously.

Li Xiaoyan stood up, thought for a while, and said: "If that's the case, then let's do as he says."

They have nothing to do now anyway, so since Zhuci has an idea, let them help.

…

Everything went too smoothly.

Andy walked out of the dark room, and the NPC guarding it had disappeared. He thought that maybe the time had come, and something helped him figure out how to open the door.

In order to get the sword, he also used several high-level items and was able to deceive these NPCs once.

"If you pull it out, it will be easy."

There is a cold child's voice beside me.

"Why do you want to pull it out now? Wouldn't it be better at night?"

"Those damn bad guys will use it to hurt the children at night!"

Andy didn't look at him, but took out a bottle of potion to restore his mental strength and drank some.

"Really? You don't know how this sword works in the hands of a nanny?"

"What's the point of knowing? They're all going to die anyway!" The ghost baby's tone was extremely irritable and excited, as if he was craving for something. He couldn't wait any longer, and he wished that night would come immediately so that he could kill all these nannies!

Andy thought with disdain that before this copy, this ghost baby probably didn't even live to see clearly how the previous nanny died.

This lack of information bothered him, but... there was no need to worry. After tonight, the nanny would be completely passive. Maybe the rules would be rewritten.

This is a slender sword, but it is quite sharp. If you can take it out after this dungeon is over, it may become a high-level item.

…

Not far away, the four people who risked their lives to knock out these NPCs gathered together. Looking at Andy's back, Wu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your talent allows you to sense a person's location, right?" Meng Yuanzhou looked at Wu Yi curiously.

Wu Yi: “…” He blinked helplessly.

Li Xiaoyan glared at him, then said to Wu Yi: "It's okay, he didn't mean any harm, don't worry, we won't say anything nonsense."

Wu Yi shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay."

Mo Yangbing looked at Wu Yi: "Your talent is very interesting, do you have a guild?"

Wu Yi shook his head.

【“This kid is lucky. We should invite him to join the guild.”

"Although he is only a B-level player, his talent and personality are very suitable for Mr. Mo. There is no need to worry about accidental injuries."

"Ah, then what about Boss Yang? Don't he and Boss Mo often cooperate?"

"Then let's go as a threesome. I agree."】
