Chapter 59: Twins 24 Exploration

The time left for Zhuci to sleep was not long, but he was a man who could turn one hour of sleep into four hours.

The light coming through the window gradually dimmed, and the watch read 11 o'clock in the evening.

There were footsteps outside, and the nanny, who shouldn't have shown up at this time, suddenly found the door of their room accurately.

The door was opened, revealing the faces of Li Hongmei and several NPC nannies behind them, as well as the stiff faces of several dead people hidden in the background.

The only people left in the room were Wu Yi and Zhu Ci.

After all, they couldn't stay in the room doing nothing, so they all went out.

Wu Yi called out a congratulatory speech before Li Hongmei arrived.

Zhu Ci sat up slowly, his face slightly flushed and his eyes half asleep.

It can be seen that he slept well.

When the anchor is asleep, the live broadcast will be turned off, but after Zhu Ci opened his eyes, people soon came to watch.

His appearance aroused the jealousy of many people.

【“Why does the anchor sleep so comfortably?”

"The anchor is like this, I doubt he is in a dangerous game, but at home."

"Is the anchor really going to do something big at night? It won't be a mess."】

Li Hongmei frowned and glanced at him, seeming a little uncomfortable.

But the speech was indeed going to be a mess tonight, so he stood up and looked at his watch. After confirming the time, he said naturally, "Let's go."

Li Hongmei asked, "It seems you are very confident?"

"No." Zhu Ci said sincerely. Can't a person get a good night's sleep before dying?

Li Hongmei: "...Come here."

Zhu Ci always slept with his clothes on, with the nanny's clothes still on, and he followed Li Hongmei directly.

Wu Yi thought about it for a while before going out, following behind from a distance.

When walking out of this door, Zhu Ci's eyes fell on the corridor.

The corridor was very clean, and the little ghosts that had been squatting on both sides of the road were hiding.

Not only that, the corridors are also full of nannies.

This kind of situation clearly shows that there was a fierce battle at night.

But why can't I see the nanny on ordinary nights?

Zhuci speculates that the closer it gets to 11:44, the weaker the power of these nannies will be, and the stronger the power of the ghost babies will be.

The purpose of their trip must be to nip whatever is about to happen in the bud at this point in time or before.

If he guessed correctly, 11:44 was the day the baby was born, so what they should do is... suppress or kill the ghost baby at this time.

The ghost baby's soul was obviously not in Li Hongmei's hands, and they couldn't directly catch the ghost baby whose power was getting stronger and stronger, so...

What they actually have to deal with is the entity of the ghost baby, and the entity and the soul are related.

So what should we do?

Zhu Ci rubbed his eyes, which were slightly red due to dryness.

He could actually guess the general process.

Tonight, some of the secrets will be revealed.

Li Hongmei took him outside the room where the sword was originally placed.

Mo Yangbing and Meng Yuanzhou had been waiting outside for a long time.

They glanced at the speech, one looked away slightly, and the other curled his lips.

It was obvious that Zhu Ci had just woken up. This was too absurd. Zhu Ci had just woken up. He had slept from the evening until now, which was enough for a full night's sleep for one person.

Zhu Ci glanced at them coldly: "What kind of look?"

"It's okay. Children still need to grow and develop, so we can understand that." Meng Yuanzhou said.

Zhu Ci glanced at Li Hongmei in front of him, but she didn't react much.

"I have twenty," he said.

"Oh~" this elongated ending sound.

Zhu Ci glanced at him and asked, "So what did you just do?"

[“Hahahaha, the anchor is twenty years old?”

"He's a college student, so he's pretty young, but it's hard to tell."】

Meng Yuanzhou shook his head. Now was not the time to talk about this.

The main reason is that after being a player for a long time, I want to go out and have a look even if there are no clues outside, otherwise I feel like I am falling behind.

"Stop chatting idly." Li Hongmei said.

She opened the door of the room and was filled with an old smell. The smell of blood and smoke was much more obvious at night than during the day.

After the speech, they followed Li Hongmei in.

When the passage to the basement was opened, Zhu Ci seemed to faintly see red and blue lines in the air, as if they were connected to something, like his heart...

When he first saw these lines in his confused brain, Zhu Ci thought it was his own imagination, but now he has to reconsider another possibility.

The tombstone in the basement is still in its original position, and the sword in the middle is also in good condition.

"This is not good. Why is it still here?" Meng Yuanzhou muttered softly.

Zhuci did not say anything. His eyes moved in the air, searching for the source of these red and blue threads.

The red and blue threads were deeply rooted in the formation, and it looked as if the blood of the tombstones was being sucked away by it.

The sword in the middle is completely clean, with nothing on it.

Zhu Ci thought that the information Li Hongmei gave him still had some tricks up his sleeve.

But he was no longer worried about the sword.

"You guys stand outside here." Li Hong commanded.

The nurses, who were left with only one piece of clothing, came to the tombstone with their corpses or mutilated puppets.

Zhu Ci noticed that the puppet whose leg was broken before was now able to walk on one leg easily, while the puppet whose head was exploded was still in the same state.

Mo Yangbing and Meng Yuanzhou looked at Zhu Ci deeply, then each chose a spot to stand in.

They didn't realize that they had come to trust Zhuci so much and leave such a life-threatening matter to him for decision.

However, as veteran players, they all have a life-saving item on them, while Zhuci, as a newcomer, has to bear more risks than them.

Standing in the middle, there is always the risk of having a sword pierced through the chest.

"Walk to the middle, kid, and relax. After the ceremony begins, you will have the ability to control the sword. At the same time, you will receive a gift." Li Hongmei was a little gentler in her speech.

Behind such tenderness lies a deeper risk.

Zhu Ci stood in the middle and reached out to touch the sword.

Li Hongmei and other nannies began to chant weird spells.

Mo Yangbing stood in front of the tombstone, looked down, and was suddenly shocked. A name was slowly being engraved on the tombstone, and that name was his.

He looked to the side and saw that the dead player had his name carved on him before his death, while the puppet had received a symbol.

I had a strange feeling in my body, as if all my strength was being drained away.

Mo Yangbing frowned, sweat oozing from his forehead, but he couldn't move his body at all, and couldn't even clench his fists.

Zhu Ci felt uncomfortable standing in the middle, but two lines appeared in front of him.

One red and one blue, these two lines surrounded him, as if searching for somewhere.

Their roots come from the rune array on the ground, with dense branches extending from the bottom. The root system covers the ground like blood vessels on the surface of the heart.

And these roots extend outward and seem to connect different places.

Zhuci suddenly understood.

These two threads are searching for his heart.

Why the death of the swordsman can end all this, it is very likely.

This ritual will closely connect him to the ghost baby's heart.

Even if he can't successfully stop the ghost baby later.

If it was past 11:44 and he hadn't finished with it all, his heart would explode and he and the ghost baby would perish together.

"Don't be afraid, draw out the sword." Li Hongmei was guiding him.

Zhu Ci drew out the sword, and two blood vessels crawled onto the sword, but they could never merge. His eyes were a little tense when the blood vessels touched the sword, but they relaxed quickly.

It is true.

This sword is no longer real.

He is connected to the ghost baby and the destruction of the copy through blood vessels and swords, and controls his life and death at the same time.

No, it's not just his life or death, perhaps it's the life and death of all the players in the dungeon.

In his previous perspective, these blood vessels penetrated the entire copy, but now they looked like a bomb. Li Hongmei had long wanted to stop the ghost baby by dying together, or... a deeper level of evil. She had seen countless reincarnations, and under the control of the system, they would continue to repeat. But the players were different, and all the players would die.

What a pity.

Andy will help him.

The blood vessels were still trying to connect to his body, but without the original sword as a medium, they could not enter his heart.

The ritual will fail.

The blood vessel tried to pierce his body many times, but it couldn't do it. The light halo emitted by the formation suddenly rebounded, causing a huge backlash.

Zhu Ci half-bent down, put his hands over his heart, frowned, and took a breath with a pale face.

Even though it can't penetrate, it still hurts.

"How could this happen?" Li Hongmei and the others were shocked away by the backlash. Her face turned pale instantly. She stared at the sword closely, veins even popped out on her forehead, and her expression was extremely terrifying.

Zhu Ci took a deep breath and said, "I don't know. It seems that there is something wrong with this sword."

Li Hongmei clenched her fists, and the other nannies around her were also terrified.

Time passed by little by little. If something went wrong at such a critical moment, then they... those ghost babies would not let them go, and they would not be able to rest in peace even after death.

"Chase!"

Li Hongmei let out an angry roar, a sound that didn't even sound like something a human could make.

The imposing look makes people feel very scary.

After the ceremony ended, Meng Yuanzhou and Mo Yangbing gasped with pale faces.

"I didn't expect Andy to help us by stealing the sword."

Meng Yuanzhou said this and glanced to the side.

He was stunned.

The dead bodies were everywhere.

Except for the three living people, all the other sacrificial puppets and dead people had fallen down.

"Li Hongmei may not have been able to distinguish the nannies before, but now she knows which ones are alive and which ones are dead." Zhu Ci said, his eyes falling on the tombstone.

Meng Yuanzhou sighed: "I will never take risks with you again. I almost died. What if Andy really doesn't have the ability to steal this sword? Wouldn't I be doomed?"

Zhu Ci held the fake sword with his head down, looking calm as if he had not experienced any danger. He said, "He won't do that. The ghost baby will definitely ask him to take the sword and... the gift."

If you cooperate with ghosts and your demands are not met, you will suffer.

Gift? What gift?

Mo Yangbing's eyes rolled around, and he suddenly looked at Zhu Ci: "It's... exploration speed."

Yes, it is the degree of exploration.
