Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly. He hadn't seen the two men looking for anything since then. Compared to the two of them who were actually looking for their keys, these two seemed to be just wandering around the house aimlessly from beginning to end... Could it be that they didn't want to leave at all? Or had they already put their lives at risk?
Because Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian had the misfortune to participate in all the projects before, they had interacted with everyone who had participated in the project. The two people opposite were a man and a woman. The man had entered the haunted house with them before, and the woman was unlucky enough to be selected for the first time.
Logically speaking, this was the first time Xiao Tangqiu met this girl in a game project, but he always felt that this girl seemed a little familiar. However, the strangest thing was that she wrapped herself tightly for some reason. Not only did she wear the hood of her coat with the brim pulled down low, but she also buried her head deeply and did not look at them.
The water level was almost up to their chins.
"Forget it, let's go to the bedroom and look again!" Tang Mianmian lost her patience.
At this moment, the girl suddenly said, "Are you looking for the key? We found the key."
Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian were stunned for a moment, and they looked at each other subconsciously. Tang Mianmian asked first: "What? You actually found the key?" Could it be that these two people have been calm and unhurried because they had found the key a long time ago?
The girl lowered her head and said, "Yes, we just found the key..."
"Where did you find it? We've been looking for it for a long time, but we can't find anything?" Tang Mianmian asked subconsciously, but he quickly realized that he had to solve the urgent problem first. "Forget it, this is not important now. Hurry and get the key, and then we can escape!"
The girl whispered, "I'll give you the key, you open the door."
Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.
Logically speaking, letting them hold the key should be the safest approach for them. After all, if the two people opposite have bad intentions and use the key to open the door and leave, they can completely lock them in the house... unless they know that the first person to open the door will suffer.
On the other side, Tang Mianmian didn't think too much and reached out to take the key.
The girl reached out her hand underwater, about to hand the key to Tang Mianmian, but Xiao Tangqiu suddenly shouted, "Don't touch it! That's a fake key!"
Tang Mianmian was startled. Before he could react, his body subconsciously took a step back as Xiao Tangqiu said, and did not take the key handed to him by the girl.
The next second, the key-shaped object turned into a black bug as thick as a thumb!
The black bug flashed with cold metallic light all over its body and suddenly pounced towards Tang Mianmian!
Fortunately, Tang Mianmian reacted in time, took out the multifunctional saber he had exchanged before, popped out the small side of the knife, and chopped the black bug away with one blow!
When the knife touched the black insect's shell, there was a "crackling" sound. The insect's shell was obviously extremely hard.
"Fuck! My hands are numb!" Tang Mianmian screamed, but held the saber tightly to prevent the black bug from attacking again.
As the water level rose higher and higher, the hat of the girl opposite was finally washed away by the current. Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian couldn't help but tremble at the same time. That girl... looked exactly like the female corpse they had just discovered!
"Fuck! Aren't you dead?"
Tang Mianmian was horrified, but soon he remembered something.
"...No! You didn't look like this just now!"
The four of them had just come in together. They had seen the girl's appearance at that time, but she didn't look like she does now.
The girl looked at Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian expressionlessly and remained silent.
Xiao Tangqiu said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken... you should be the last batch of players, right?"
Tang Mianmian was shocked: "What?!"
Xiao Tangqiu continued, "Like us, players who came to this instance from outside."
The two people opposite looked at Xiao Tangqiu expressionlessly and still didn't say anything.
"They are also players?" Tang Mianmian found it difficult to digest this shocking news.
"Yes, but they are already dead. They died in this dungeon..." Xiao Tangqiu sneered, "If I'm not mistaken, their goal is to kill us and obtain our identities!"
Tang Mianmian was so shocked that she was distorted: "...What the hell?!"
Xiao Tangqiu said coldly, "Could it be that if you just kill us, you can become us and return to the Abyss City as us?"
Still no one answered.
"The man in the haunted house might have been killed by one of you and his identity taken away..." Xiao Tangqiu continued to speculate, his tone slightly cold. "As for the female corpse in the bathroom, it was indeed yours, but because you killed that girl, the dead person became her, and you reappeared with her appearance and identity."
"As long as our group of players are killed and replaced by you, the others will forget everything about that person..."
So when he was in the haunted house, the man suddenly forgot that he had a girlfriend. I'm afraid that at that time, the girl had already been killed and replaced by someone else.
Although the man was replaced, no one thought there was anything wrong because he and the other newcomers were strangers.
I just don’t know why, he and Tang Mianmian didn’t forget, maybe because they have already experienced two copies?
At this moment, the girl finally spoke.
She looked at Xiao Tangqiu coldly, her eyes filled with gloomy resentment.
"Now that you know, then stay...stay and stay with your companions forever..."
