Chapter 73: Twins

And now, the lines on the other person seem to be slowly disappearing.

That's right.

The ghost baby is dead, the source of pollution is gone, and now there is a normal baby in the mother's belly, so these lines should disappear.

These may not be simple lines, but the obsession of every generation of childcare workers to break the cycle at the cost of their lives.

When the obsession is over, the lines should disappear.

Zhuci knew that when the line disappeared, the madman would take action again.

But before that, they might be able to get out of the copy.

All the ghost babies are gone, because the ghost children created by him are leaderless, but they cannot be said to be innocent, because after committing evil deeds, their souls have been polluted.

Andy's talent has to do with ghosts, so he might be useful.

"Is it over?" Li Xiaoyan asked.

Zhuci nodded: "Yes."

His eyes never left the wall, and the rest of his exhausted teammates followed his gaze.

This is a very handsome man, just trapped on the wall, with his head tilted, revealing the bite marks on his neck. He doesn't look like a monster in the dungeon, but he doesn't look like a player either.

They looked at Zhuci, Zhuci's face...

Wu Yi looked over curiously. Why couldn't he see the other person's face clearly, but it seemed a little familiar?

Zhuci kept waiting for the copy to announce their departure, but no sound was heard until the man came down from the wall and started to move his wrists.

His face changed.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

"Maybe the branch line is not completed?" Meng Yuanzhou said.

Branch...

Zhu Ci's expression suddenly became sharp, which made Wu Yi shrink.

"What's wrong, brother?"

"What is the side quest? Hurry and finish it!"

"Oh, brother, are you in a hurry?"

Zhuci took a step back and even walked to Andy's side.

Andy: “…” He laughed a few times and glanced at Mo Yangbing and the others playfully.

"It seems that you have done something that makes the speech very difficult."

Mo Yangbing looked at the man coming down from the wall and suddenly understood.

"Stop that man," he said.

Zhu Ci took a deep breath and said, "Do the branch quest, now!"

Andy shrugged: "The mission has a time limit. When the time is up, it will automatically fail and leave."

But you have to have a life to survive.

Li Xiaoyan looked at the strange man who suddenly appeared between them. This man was not a ghost, and he did not seem to have any hostility towards them. There was only congratulations in his eyes.

"Okay, okay, right away."

Isn't it because he was worried about the speech that he came to rescue people at the right time?

Zhuci's emotions were indeed easily affected by Shen Wu, but now, "Shen Wu" might not be a person anymore, but a type of person, a type of person who looked exactly like him.

Such passivity is really annoying.

"The side story is about a few exorcists who cruelly want to get rid of the souls of the babies who linger here and refuse to reincarnate, so as to avoid future troubles. So they prepared several holy objects in several locations here, but after much hesitation, they still did not take action. In the end, they chose to eliminate this place from the original human world until the cycle was broken and the children were reincarnated again to atone for their sins. And these holy objects can be turned into tools for salvation." Wu Yi said.

"There's only one left."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Ci suddenly broke into a run.

However, that person was faster, and Zhu Ci ran away. He no longer had the patience to play the game of "you take a step back, I take a step back" with him.

The congratulatory speech was pressed directly against the wall.

Others: “…”

They were in complete shock.

It took a while before I went up to help.

Andy didn't move. He clicked his tongue, as if he found it a little unbearable to watch, so he looked away. It was up to him to solve this branch question.

Several people tried to pull it open but failed.

Congratulations: "..."

He closed his eyes angrily, and the piece of iron suddenly appeared in his hand.

His little movements could not escape the other party's eyes, but Zhuci did not want to attack him, he only needed the moment he let go of his hand.

At that moment, his teammates played a role.

Zhuci passed by the child.

The sleeping child opened his eyes and smiled at him innocently: "Little brother, do you want to read a book together?"

Congratulations: "...Good."

The child stood up and pointed to the foot of the statue: "There."

Congratulations: "..."

He squatted down and saw a piece of paper pressed under the base.

He pulled it out, and a familiar cartoon pattern appeared before his eyes.

It is said that the Pale Paper Man has marked many copies, but if he really came here, why has this copy not been solved?

…

The stick figure appeared before him again.

"We meet again. One question."

Zhu Ci still did not hesitate: "How can I make Shen Wu stop chasing me?"

An exaggerated but cute expression appeared on the cartoon face of the villain: "This is a difficult question. Half of his soul is in the hands of the game. Do you want to exchange your soul for him?"

"In no mood."

But half of Shen Wu's soul is in the game. Is it because of him? Did he bring the curse to Shen Wu?

Without half a soul, wouldn't the one outside become a fool?

Villain: "Ah, that's a reasonable answer."

Zhu Ci said: "Were you asking me or was I asking you?"

The little man paused holding the pencil, and his eyes turned from small dots to circles: "What do you mean?"

"One more question."

Villain: “…”

…

Zhu Ci asked: "If he doesn't chase me, I will die, right?"

Villain: “…” The circles on his head are not circles representing speech, but circles of thoughts with bubbles popping up.

The villain thought: "Love brain is terrible."

I thought Zhu Ci would ask some special questions, but it turned out that they were all related to Shen Wu.

There seems to be no problem in answering it.

"Yes, it must be painful. It is his first instinct to want to kill you. It is unbelievable that he forgot you and went against his instinct to save you."

Congratulations: "..."

Love brain is terrible.

No wonder he didn't feel any pain even when his heart was pierced. I'm afraid he would be dying of pain normally.

"Okay, I understand."

Zhuci had the answer, so he didn't stay any longer and left the painting.

When he came out again, he had a dagger in his hand. He bought it with his points in the first copy.

Meng Yuanzhou looked at Zhuci who disappeared and reappeared, and said, "Why are you..."

"You guys go take a look at the picture of the second ranked guy, I'll take care of this guy." Zhu Ci said.

He spoke as if they could handle it. If Zhu Ci hadn't disappeared and he had lost his target, it would have been difficult for them to defeat him.

But second place...

Everyone looked surprised. A pale paper man?

Easter egg?

Since the speech says so, and this opportunity is rare, let’s go in and take a look.

Wait until almost everyone has left.

Zhu Ci stared at the familiar face closely and moved forward instead of retreating.

The man also raised his legs and walked towards him.

Zhu Ci stretched out his hand, and just as the dagger in his hand extended out, his wrist was grabbed by a bony hand. His speed was very fast, which was no longer within the range of ordinary people.

"It was originally meant for you." Zhu Ci said, and he deliberately spread out his fingers.

The man took the dagger and looked a little surprised.

Zhu Ci stared at his hand for a while, then suddenly grabbed his hand and bumped into him.

The sound of the knife tip piercing flesh was heard.

Zhu Ci's face suddenly turned ugly.

It turns out... it hurts so much, but he stabbed my heart.

“Now we’re even. There’s no way I’ll let you kill me…” Before Zhu Ci could finish his words, he was suddenly hugged tightly.

"..." He suspected that the other party wanted to kill him by squeezing the wound.

Wu Yi: “…” Oh my God, Professor Shen is cheated on.

He quickly turned around and touched the picture.

Zhu Ci struggled for a moment, and when he raised his head he saw the other person's dark eyes, as if they wanted to eat him up.

“…”

At this time, the pain in the body can be ignored.

Before they had time to think about their speech, fine and dense lines suddenly appeared around them, interweaving back and forth around them.

"No... Shen Wu, you fucking..."

Zhu Ci was about to go crazy. Why were there still strings? So many red strings, like blood vessels pulled out of the heart, carried blood and obsessive love, woven into a cage that completely enveloped them, enveloping them, leaving no gaps, wishing that every piece of flesh and blood could merge.

Just like that, those eyes that were sharp like those of an angry god finally revealed their true gentleness, as if the silent universe had finally embraced his only star.

[“Congratulations, the side quest has been completed. The exploration level of the copy “Twins” is 100% and will no longer be opened.”]

…

On the other side, the little man in the painting space was holding a pencil for drawing, looking at the faces in front of him who were eager to learn, and suddenly understood what it meant to repay kindness with enmity.

It would be fine if it was just one person who was giving the congratulations, but are you trying to tire him to death?

…

At the end of the copy, the world began to disappear, including all the confinement and entanglement. A warm scene appeared in front of Zhu Ci's eyes. Arya hugged her child and waved to him in thanks with her colleagues.

[“What, the dungeon is over?”

"Oh my god! I don't see anything!"

"I am about to cry. Why? This time the copy is so cruel, and it has not been released since then."

"I'm speechless. I have no idea what the anchor did."

"Sad, I suggest that this copy be included in the top ten unsolved mysteries."

"What exactly is the prohibited image that can be blocked for how many hours?"】

The only thing they could see in the end was Andy's image.

He found the last holy artifact hidden by the nurses, and after studying it for a while, he finally found a way to complete the side quest.

However, from the moment he entered the dungeon, the calm and indifferent boss seemed to have an unpleasant expression on his face. Even though he looked like he was really studying the holy weapon, the old fans of the live broadcast room who knew him well still noticed something.

Andy seemed to be distracted all the time, and his expression was so strange that it was difficult to describe in words.

They felt that something terrible must have happened when Andy's live broadcast was turned off, otherwise he would not be so absent-minded.

This adds even more mystery to this copy, and it can truly be called an unsolved mystery.

It couldn't be that Zhu Ci forcefully kissed Andy, right?

…

Zhu Ci still had no interest in knowing his own score, and he left immediately after the dungeon was over.

In addition to the physical pain, which was twice as much as any pain he had ever experienced combined, he was also mentally exhausted. He never even bothered to prepare for the exam.

Of course, if he stayed in the game world outside the instance, it would help him recover faster, but there was a belief that always supported Zhuci, making him prefer to suffer a little and solve the problem immediately.

He has a hand and wants to share it with Shen Wu.
