Chapter 21 48h (4)
The moment Gu Qiufeng heard the voice, he suddenly realized that they might not be the only ones in the room.
So Gu Qiufeng smiled and raised his hands, and said to the man holding the knife against him in a tone like coaxing a lover: "Okay, I won't move, what are you going to do to me?"
Shen Yubo and Yu Chiang also noticed something strange about Gu Qiufeng at this time, and their expressions suddenly became serious.
Gu Qiufeng looked like he was being held hostage, but there was clearly no one else around him.
Yu Chiang held down Feng He, who was about to go berserk, and looked up and exchanged glances with Shen Yubo.
This skill is either physical invisibility or mental hypnosis.
At the same time, they both remembered the sky-high bounty issued by the Second Guild to kill Gu Qiufeng.
Shen Yubo's breathing suddenly became rapid.
She was so angry about her sister's death that she deliberately inquired about the copy chosen by Compass and followed him in.
Shen Yubo originally planned to die together with that bastard Luo Pan.
In the end, it was Gu Qiufeng who helped her avenge her sister in disguise.
Because of the deaths of Luo Pan and others, the Third Guild was afraid of the guild behind her, so they took out all their anger on Gu Qiufeng, the newcomer who had just entered the game.
The Second Guild probably wanted to draw a clear line between themselves and the Third Guild to avoid being hated by them, so they resolutely hunted down Gu Qiufeng throughout the game.
It was because of her own selfish desires that she implicated Mr. Gu.
"Calm down." Yu Chi'ang saw that she was in a bad mood and reminded her, "Gu Qiufeng himself is not panicking, so don't lose your composure."
After Yu Chi'ang finished speaking, he turned to look at Gu Qiufeng, with a slight wrinkle on his brow. Although Gu Qiufeng was being held hostage, it was not impossible to rescue him. It was just that the man had obviously restrained Gu Qiufeng's vital points. Once he took action, it would be bad if Gu Qiufeng suffered unnecessary injuries.
We should think of a safe solution quickly.
"Hello."
In this tense stalemate, Gu Qiufeng moved his neck and spoke in a flat tone.
The person behind him shuddered obviously. He didn't expect that Gu Qiufeng would dare to move when someone was holding a knife to his neck.
His voice was clearly filled with frustration: "What are you doing? Are you trying to kill yourself?"
Gu Qiufeng said innocently: "Why are you so worried about me? Could it be that you didn't originally want to take my head to the Second Guild to ask for bounty points?"
He chuckled: "Wow, you say you want me to die, but you're actually afraid that I'll get hurt, sir—"
Gu Qiufeng's tone suddenly darkened.
"Do you know the saying that goes like this?"
As he finished speaking, a card suddenly appeared in Gu Qiufeng's right hand hanging by his side.
He held the card between his middle and ring fingers and swiped it backwards.
A shrill cry was heard.
Gu Qiufeng immediately took advantage of the moment when the player behind him let go and jumped sideways.
The cards in his hand scattered into white foam at his fingertips. Gu Qiufeng then calmly straightened his clothes and smiled at the scarred player who was revealed because of his skills: "Brother, homophobia means being in the closet."
The scar-faced player didn't react at all. He just felt an indescribable pain coming from the depths of his soul, as if a hand had dug out a part of his soul. He could no longer maintain his invisible state. The moment he knelt on the ground because of the pain, the dagger in his hand also fell to the ground with a clang, emitting a cold light in the dim room.
"You...your skills?" Scarface said in disbelief, "How could it be..."
"What? How could that be?" Gu Qiufeng said pretentiously, "It's just an ordinary mental auxiliary skill~"
Scarface was twisted in pain: "..."
What a fucking ordinary auxiliary skill!
He was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, and there was no greater threat for the time being.
Gu Qiufeng glanced around and found that Feng He disappeared after he used his skills.
That's the limitation.
The cooldown period is one day. After he uses up his skills, Feng He’s card will be taken away, and he will not be able to regain the right to use the character card until the next day.
This restriction is huge. Once he uses his skills, Gu Qiufeng will be in a useless state for the next day.
Alas, you still need to spend some points in the dungeon to contact ghosts and monsters to draw some ordinary skill cards.
Neither Yu Chi'ang nor Shen Yubo showed excessive surprise at Gu Qiufeng's skills. Perhaps when Gu Qiufeng abducted the BOSS and escaped, they had already guessed that Gu Qiufeng's skills were related to the dungeon BOSS.
"explain!"
Shen Yubo pulled out a long whip and whipped the player who was twitching on the ground.
"Are you the only one here? Are there any other players in this room?"
Shen Yubo asked coldly.
In order to avoid getting in the way, Shao Qiu Shui and A Xiu were knocked unconscious by Yu Chiang and thrown against the wall the moment Gu Qiufeng spoke.
Scarface's SAN value was already on the verge of a low point due to Gu Qiufeng's mental attack. Now he was severely whipped by Shen Yubo. The pain in his soul and body made him want to die. How could he dare to be tough? He immediately cried, "There is no one left. I am the only one... I was bewitched and accepted the reward. I know I was wrong..."
Gu Qiufeng applauded: "The lines are good."
"But," his pale eyes revealed a hint of coldness for no reason, "when you accepted the bounty and prepared to kill me in the dungeon, why didn't you think of letting me go?"
When Gu Qiufeng spoke, he always raised the ending tone a little, which made him sound like he was always laughing, or even a little cynical.
But when he was angry, he still spoke with this rising ending tone, which only made people feel scared.
It's as if he would peel off your skin and flesh with his own hands with a smile.
Scarface was frightened insane by his own unreasonable imagination: "No, you can't kill me..."
After his soul was attacked by 40%, it was already vulnerable. He was seeing vague hallucinations and couldn't distinguish between illusion and reality.
So Scarface didn't notice that Gu Qiufeng had stopped looking at him, but turned to look at the female corpse that had been soaked in the washing machine for a long time.
Everyone had been distracted by the scarred face and forgot about the crisis in front of them.
Yu Chiang was the closest. He frowned and asked, "Did she put on her shoes just now?"
At some point, a pair of red leather shoes appeared under the girl's soaked legs in the washing machine.
The room suddenly fell into dead silence, with only Scarface crying and laughing like crazy.
“I’m going to die…”
He muttered frantically.
Another gust of wind blew in through the broken window.
The pair of feet wearing red leather shoes kicked suddenly!
Except for the seventh washing machine which was still on, the other washing machines began to vibrate violently.
Yu Chiang's breathing stagnated and he bumped into the female corpse that suddenly jumped out of the washing machine.
Her hair was wet and tangled around her face like deep-sea seaweed.
His head was bent at an incredible angle, with his chin almost hanging down to his chest.
Yu Chiang raised his chin slightly, but was strangled by the female corpse's icy hands.
From the dense and tangled hair, he saw a face that was burnt black.
An indescribable burning smell spread from all directions.
Scarface finally stopped his madness and squeezed out a bit of clarity from his confused mind.
He saw the female corpse in front of him.
“How could it be…”
Scarface said in disbelief.
He suddenly grabbed his face and yelled, "Didn't I complete the TE ending? Why...why did she still die here!!!"
When the female corpse heard the movement of Scarface, she smashed Yu Chiang in her hand against the wall.
Then, step by step, he stepped on the fiery red curtains on the floor and walked towards Scarface, whose mind was completely disturbed.
Yu Chi'ang spat out a mouthful of blood, raised his head and said to Gu Qiufeng and Shen Yubo, "Hurry up, it's going to explode soon!"
The noise of the washing machine in the room was getting louder and louder, almost so noisy that it was about to burst the eardrums of Gu Qiufeng and Shen Yubo.
Gu Qiufeng and Shen Yubo decisively ran towards the wall, ready to leave here with their NPC.
However, at the moment when Gu Qiufeng's hand touched Shao Qiu Shui's shoulder.
Scarface suddenly howled in pain. His voice had completely changed in pitch, becoming sharp and terrifying.
A fire started burning in him.
At the same time, all the washing machines in the room exploded.
The raging fire burned the blood-red curtains on the ground.
Gu Qiufeng suddenly heard the system announcement sound——
[Shao Qiushui died, restarting in 48 hours...]
Then, suddenly, he was lying on the bed in the bedroom of the apartment.
This time, there were no more female monsters lying on the ceiling.
Gu Qiufeng sat up and listened to the shouts of "Fire" in the corridor. He saw the mirror ghost hurriedly leaving the house.
He let out a sigh of annoyance because the cycle was complete and Feng He appeared beside him again.
Gu Qiufeng said decisively: "Let's go and take another look at Shao Qiushui's room."
With the experience of the first timeline, Gu Qiufeng and Feng He moved quickly and dodged the flames the moment they broke open the door.
The raging fire surrounded the bedroom. A dark, dried corpse stood in the middle of the room, its dark eyes staring at Gu Qiufeng outside the house.
Gu Qiufeng finally understood.
This is Shao Qiu Shui!
The weird movements of the mummy in the house were exactly the same as Shao Qiu Shui's dance when they first met Shao Qiu Shui in the dance studio!
In the thick smoke of the fire, the shriveled and blackened corpses danced gracefully.
Some of the burnt sebum kept falling off its body, and occasionally pieces of sticky flesh could be seen.
"Walk."
As the flames spread further, Gu Qiufeng pulled Feng He towards the corridor.
Feng He kicked open the security door. The smoke in the empty corridor was not thick for the time being, but the elevator was obviously no longer usable. The two of them pushed open the emergency passage and ran down to the ninth floor in one breath.
After running out, Gu Qiufeng supported his waist and began to breathe heavily.
He looked up at the rooms filled with smoke and checked. There were four rooms in total. Two were on the ninth floor, which belonged to him and Yu Chiang. The one on the sixth floor belonged to Shen Yubo. There was another room on the fourth floor, which, as expected, should belong to the man with the scar on his face.
"careful."
A voice suddenly came.
Gu Qiufeng was pulled away by a strong force.
After he stood still, he realized that just now, something on the fourth floor suddenly broke through the window and fell down.
Gu Qiufeng was not hit because he was pulled by Yu Chiang who suddenly appeared.
"It's the player who wants to kill you."
Yu Chiang panted, the tip of his nose was blackened by the smoke, looking a little funny.
The scarred man was on fire all over. Having fallen from the fourth floor, many of his bones were broken, his limbs were twisted, and he stared at the sky with wide eyes.
"Something must have thrown him down." Gu Qiufeng frowned.
The sunlight during the day was somewhat dazzling, making the high floors appear blurry and illusory. He vaguely saw a dark shadow standing in Scarface's apartment on the fourth floor, watching them.
Yu Chi'ang said, "...Don't worry about it, let's leave here first. Once he dies, the system will definitely report it. We don't know what timeline the other players are in yet. It would be bad if they saw us with the dead."
"Where is Shen Yubo?" Gu Qiufeng asked.
Yu Chi'ang shook his head: "I didn't see her. She must have left early. She was on a lower floor than us, so she must have escaped earlier than us."
As Yu Chiang was speaking, he tried to grab Gu Qiufeng with his hands, but Gu Qiufeng dodged him.∞
"How..." Yu Chiang's doubts came to an abrupt end when he saw the scar under Gu Qiufeng's torn bandage.
Gu Qiufeng quickly untied the bandage that was half burnt by the fire. Some of his wounds were burned through by the fire and the bandages were stuck to them, oozing out blood and flesh that was terrifying.
Yu Chiang's breathing became slightly disordered, as if he didn't quite believe it: "Your hand?"
"I was injured before. Sorry, I don't want others to touch my wound." Gu Qiufeng shook his hand and put on a new bandage indifferently, then said, "We should go in different ways. You go find your NPC, and I'll find mine."
"...I," Yu Chiang said. He seemed to want to tell the truth, but in the end he just glanced at Gu Qiufeng's newly changed bandage and said, "Go back to the dormitory and wait for me. See you in the elevator."
Gu Qiufeng looked at Yu Chiang's receding back, his eyes filled with inquiries.
Why does he feel that this player's attitude towards him is unusual?
Xie Songjin also showed goodwill right from the start, but Gu Qiufeng clearly felt that he came here to show goodwill for some purpose, just like looking at flowers through the fog, not real.
But Yu Chiang was different. Gu Qiufeng clearly felt that he was a little cautious when approaching him, and there was a natural sense of familiarity.
Yu Chiang's attitude was as if he was an old friend he had met again after a long separation.
Gu Qiufeng touched his chin.
Is his memory so bad?
He didn’t even remember Yu Chi’ang’s handsome face?
However, compared to Yu Chi'ang's subtle attitude towards him, there seems to be another thing that is more intriguing.
In the first timeline, he saw three rooms burning. Judging from the death of Scarface and the appearance of Yu Chi'ang, this is a phenomenon that only occurs when the player changes the timeline. It's a pity that Gu Qiufeng can't remember which rooms were burning last time besides his.
Just as Gu Qiufeng was thinking about it, a cat's meow quietly came out from the bushes beside him.
When Gu Qiufeng raised his head, he met a pair of round cat eyes.
Feng He was not injured this time, so he stayed next to Gu Qiufeng. He said in surprise: "This cat..."
"I encountered it in the last timeline. Is there any problem?" Gu Qiufeng deliberately said, "If there is a problem, we will catch it and then steam or braise it."
Feng He whispered, "I'm not sure if I saw it wrong."
Gu Qiufeng: "Okay, let's catch it."
The ragdoll cat seemed to understand their nonsensical conversation. As soon as Gu Qiufeng finished speaking, it immediately jumped out like a catapult.
Gu Qiufeng immediately said: "Feng He chases it!"
He ran behind the man and the cat and found that the ragdoll cat's escape route was still next to the practice room.
Gu Qiufeng: “…”
Okay, you are a dedicated little guy.
Feng He grabbed the cat's neck and with a cold expression, he was holding the kitten and waiting for Gu Qiufeng to come.
When Gu Qiufeng rushed over, he was speechless: "Feng He, you are going to strangle the cat to death."
Feng He explained: "Its soul is human."
Gu Qiufeng was stunned for a moment and almost didn't understand.
Then he looked at the delicate kitten that was so white it was almost dead: "Are you saying that this cat is a player pretending to be a cat?"
He originally thought that this was a player's item, or a summoned pet or something, but he didn't expect that the cat was the player.
Gu Qiufeng: “…”
Suddenly fell silent.
He couldn't remember if there was anyone among these players who looked like this exquisite ragdoll cat?
Seeing its true identity revealed in front of Gu Qiufeng, the ragdoll cat and Gu Qiufeng and the cat looked at each other awkwardly.
Gu Qiufeng put aside his messy thoughts and looked at the bottom of the ragdoll cat in amazement: "Wow, it's a male."
The Ragdoll Cat's fur suddenly stood up. It was about to bite Feng He's hand as usual, but Feng He reacted faster than it and caught its mouth with one hand.
Gu Qiufeng was amused: "How come you, a little puppet, can't keep your temper? You can understand what I say. Which player is it?"
"Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist, little doll." Gu Qiufeng began to tease the cat.
In the practice room, Shao Qiu Shui started quarreling with her mother again. According to the previous timeline, Shen Yubo brought Ah Xiu here to meet Gu Qiufeng.
When she saw the little white cat Fenghe was carrying, she paused and a dreamy look suddenly appeared on her face.
Shen Yubo asked Gu Qiufeng hesitantly: "Mr. Gu, the little white cat you are talking about is not..."
"This one." Gu Qiufeng confirmed.
Shen Yubo: “.”
Help!
She hesitated to speak.
Gu Qiufeng: "Do you know this cat?"
Shen Yubo: "No, I don't know him well."
Gu Qiufeng clapped his hands: "Okay, this timeline is mine. I will observe it carefully."
Shen Yubo: “.”
Shen Yubo slowly closed her eyes and took a breath, then she looked at Gu Qiufeng and said with difficulty: "As long as Mr. Gu is happy."
Gu Qiufeng picked up the ragdoll cat and let it lie on one of his arms. He didn't know if it had given up on this life, but he always felt that an expression of despair on the ragdoll's face appeared, just like a human's.
Shen Yubo secretly gave Gu Qiufeng a "2" sign where Ah Xiu couldn't see.
Gu Qiufeng has cycled twice and is already in the third timeline, while Shen Yubo has cycled once less and is now in the second timeline.
"Let's go to the laundry room later." Gu Qiufeng said.
Shen Yubo sent Ah Xiu away, and then said: "The girl who died in the washing machine should be the NPC that Scarface player is responsible for."
"But after the NPC died, Scarface didn't start the cycle again. Instead, he died." Gu Qiufeng said, "Xiao Yuer and I saw him thrown down from the upstairs."
Shen Yubo asked: "What threw it down?"
"I can't see clearly." Gu Qiufeng said, "Do you remember what Scarface said before he died before the cycle?"
Shen Yubo frowned and recalled carefully, then said, "He said he had completed the ending, so why did the girl still die? Are you saying that his timeline priority may be higher than ours?"
Players with time priority, that is, more cycles, actually have more information at their fingertips and are more proactive in some aspects.
"Have you ever played some stand-alone text games?" Gu Qiufeng said, "Generally, this kind of game will give the main control option. The player manipulates the main control to select an option to unlock a branch ending. A good ending is a Happy Ending, and a bad ending is a Bad Ending. Some games will also hide some Easter eggs, and only unlock the True Ending after all conditions are unlocked."
Shen Yubo suddenly opened his eyes wide: "What he meant is that he thought he had found the NPC's TE ending, but he found the BE ending, so he died?"
"So, we made a somewhat arbitrary conclusion that the NPC's death is our loop node." Gu Qiufeng nodded slightly, "Perhaps we can say that this is a loop program. We can only jump out of the loop when the restriction conditions are not met. And as long as the NPC dies in a BE, HE or TE ending that does not belong to her, we will start the loop."
"That means we have to find the NPC's real ending node?" Shen Yubo frowned. "In this case, there are three ending branches in total. BE will lead to death, TE can pass the level, and what about HE?"
"No. Don't single out TE," Gu Qiufeng said, "There is a TE ending in BE or HE. We just need to find out what the real ending of the NPC is."
"Shao Qiushui told me that there was a fire at Yucheng University that caused heavy casualties, and every time we looped, we escaped from the fire." Gu Qiufeng said, "I guess what we are looking for is the ending of the NPC in the fire, whether it was dead or alive. If the ending was destined to be death, how did TA die?"
"Also, this cycle has a time limit. We must discover all the above information before the NPC's true death comes."
If the exploration is wrong and the NPC goes to the wrong side quest ending at the end, he will be burned to death in the loop like Scarface.
Shen Yubo fell silent.
She bit her lip, as if she was struggling with something.
Shen Yubo's condition is not right.
From the bus, Gu Qiufeng felt that something was wrong with her.
Emotional, excited, sensitive, and a little depressed.
He paused and asked, "What happened?"
"I……"
Shen Yubo took a look and saw Ah Xiu was still watching for them from a distance. The girl looked young and lively.
Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she turned her head fiercely and said, "Mr. Gu, do you know? In our real life, there is also a Yucheng University."
"My sister, Shen Yuxiu, received an admission letter from this university before she disappeared in reality."
Gu Qiufeng's pupils contracted slightly.
Although he was a little surprised by this experience, Gu Qiufeng was still attracted by the words Shen Yubo used: "Disappeared in reality? Do you mean that she later entered "Fatal Fall"? "
Shen Yubo nodded and continued, "It's normal that you don't know about Yucheng University. Half a year ago, before I entered the dungeon, a series of deaths occurred at that university, and then there was a fire. The university moved to a new location and changed its name. Because of my sister's disappearance, I have been paying close attention to this school, and I found that some of the deaths could not be explained by common sense, including the fire that caused heavy losses at the end... In addition, I have actually had work contact with Yucheng University."
"A month before the fire, a couple of parents came to me and wanted me to help them sue Yucheng University."
This is not the first pair of parents Shen Yubo has met in his career.
But these two white-haired old men left her with the deepest memories.
They were wearing clothes made of low-quality fabrics that had turned white from being washed, their hair was as white as dead grass, and their faces were covered with wrinkles. When they saw Shen Yubo at the door of the law firm, they rushed over.
Shen Yubo thought he had encountered a human trafficker and was about to call for security, but his eyes were suddenly fixed on the dirty wallet in the father's hand.
There are colorful change in it, but rarely red.
Shen Yubo opened his mouth and suddenly felt that he could not make any sound.
The old man's hand holding the wallet was shaking all the time. Although Shen Yubo knew that this was a normal physiological behavior characteristic of some elderly people, she suddenly felt very sad.
I heard the old man's mumbling and begging voice: "Girl, you are a lawyer, right? Please help us... They don't dare to take this case, but if no one fights this lawsuit for us, then our daughter will really have no peace..."
Shen Yubo suddenly felt dazed. Although the sun was shining directly above her head, she felt a kind of excessively cold pain seeping through her bones.
Her sister disappeared half a month ago.
Shen Yubo saw his own shadow in these two old men.
She found a restaurant and treated the two old people to a bowl of noodles.
The old man ate carefully, and while eating he gestured to Shen Yubo to tell him about their experiences.
The noodles were getting cold after just a few bites, but the old man's tears were still flowing warmly on his face.
He said their daughter had jumped off the building. On a sunny day on Monday, he and his wife were moving bricks at the construction site when they were suddenly informed of the bad news by the school.
The school said their daughter committed suicide, but the old couple didn't believe it. Their daughter even called them yesterday and promised that she would let them live in a big house in the future.
Shen Yubo listened and looked up at the two old people: "The school is saying that the little girl gave birth naturally in the toilet and was afraid of being punished by the school, so she jumped off the building?"
"Impossible." said the old lady.
She pounded her chest in regret and said, "My daughter is a lesbian. How could she be willing to have a child with a man?!"
"I know my daughter's personality very well. As a mother, how can I not know what she is thinking?" The old lady's face was full of tears. "Even if she was really forced, my daughter would definitely have an abortion instead of giving birth to a child secretly!"
"The school still won't let us watch the surveillance video," the old man said. "I can tell there's something fishy going on."
His arrogance only lasted for a few seconds, and then he was like a straw that broke the camel's back: "But the police said that there must be evidence."
"Where's the evidence?"
Shen Yubo held a tissue in one hand. She was silent for a long time before she made up her mind and said, "I'll accept this commission."
The two old men stared at her in a daze, tears welling up in their eyes.
Shen Yubo smiled slightly and a little sadly: "Uncle and aunt, I have a younger sister. If she hadn't gone missing, she would have been your daughter's junior."
Shen Yubo began to help the elderly communicate with the police and school authorities to collect evidence.
The boss of the law firm thought she was crazy for taking the case.
Shen Yubo looked at his boss calmly: "If you don't want me to take the commission, just fire me. I will fight the lawsuit for them alone."
The boss looked at her with disappointment and threw Shen Yubo's resignation documents heavily at her feet.
But a month later, a fire broke out at Yucheng University, destroying any evidence they might have found.
The prosecution failed due to insufficient evidence.
As soon as Shen Yubo came out of the court, she burst into tears. While crying, she stuffed all the money she had on her into the couple's pockets and said "I'm sorry".
Two gray-haired old men hugged her and patted her shoulders gently as if she were a child. They said, "You have done your best, girl. It's okay. We will continue to investigate for our daughter. Don't be discouraged. We will find your sister eventually."
After returning home that day, Shen Yubo lay on the bed in a daze, but suddenly found that his mobile phone, which should have been turned off due to lack of battery, suddenly lit up.
The game "Fatal Fall" appeared on her phone.
"Then, I met our president in the first dungeon. He saved me, took me to City C to join the Changyu Tavern, and taught me how to survive in this game. I am very grateful to him." Shen Yubo finally showed a faint smile on his face, "He let me see my sister's live broadcast one day."
"It turns out she was in the game. She didn't leave me. I found her."
As Shen Yubo laughed, a flash of light seemed to flash in his eyes.
"B-level player, what a great player. I worked hard to clear the dungeon just to go to City B to see her. The air wall is so thick that I can't even touch her fingertips."
Shen Yuxiu had outstanding skills and was very popular back then, so she was quickly promoted to a B-level player and joined the Second Guild.
Shen Yubo wondered how her little girl could be so powerful. The dungeons she went to were all B-level dungeons that were beyond her reach.
"When I have nothing to do, I watch her live broadcast and imagine what it will be like when we sisters meet." Shen Yubo's voice sank, "Then, in order to guide the newcomers, she chose a C-level dungeon for the first time."
That time, Shen Yubo was under strict surveillance by the president because of her serious injuries, and she was not allowed to go to the dungeon.
So Shen Yubo watched with her own eyes as her little girl was pushed into a deep pit where thousands of ghosts cried together by the so-called newcomer.
Never came out again.
The newcomer proudly stood by the pit, watching Ah Xiu's miserable cries, then turned around and used this letter of allegiance to join the Third Guild.
"Compass." Shen Yubo said, "I have been working hard to strengthen my abilities over the past six months. I observed his dungeon choices every time and deliberately misled him into choosing the Phoenix God's dungeon."
"I intend to die with him."
Shen Yubo said: "But I saw someone on the bus."
"Someone related to those parents."
In fact, although the lawsuit failed, Shen Yubo did not gain nothing.
She found that during the time when the school claimed that the girl gave birth naturally in the toilet, the surveillance footage also showed a cleaning staff entering and leaving.
"The cleaner's name is Zhou Jie." Shen Yubo said, "I think I guessed why she entered the game. I'm so happy that the parents are still fighting for their daughter."
"I controlled Zhou Jie and wanted to avenge the parents, but she was killed by the copy by mistake. But it doesn't matter, as long as she got what she deserved."
"I suddenly want to try it. I've read some information about our guild. Some players will be recycled by the dungeon after they die." Shen Yubo said, "As of now, there are 26,096 observable dungeons logged into "Fatal Fall". What if?"
"My Ah Xiu, what if she is waiting for me in some corner of the game?"
Shen Yubo said calmly: "Look, I found it. My Ah Xiu, she has fortunately forgotten her past pain, although she doesn't recognize me anymore. But I am very happy."
"Hey, Sister Yubo." Ah Xiu suddenly ran over. She stared at Shen Yubo's face and asked in amazement, "Why are you crying?"
Shen Yubo smiled, rubbed Ah Xiu's head, and said, "It's okay, let's go, take me to visit your ideal university."
Ah Xiu tilted her head: "Have I ever told my sister that this is the university I want to go to?"
"Sister guessed. Let's go."
The voices of the Shen Yubo sisters talking gradually faded away.
Gu Qiufeng placed one hand on the cat's paw.
"Let's go, it's time for us to start our mission." Gu Qiufeng rubbed the kitten's paws, "You were quite perceptive just now. You were so quiet from beginning to end and didn't make any trouble."
The ragdoll cat flicked his tail at him.
Gu Qiufeng: “…”
Gu Qiufeng: "If you don't punish him for three days, he will tear off the tiles, right?"
Seeing that the man and the cat were about to fight, Feng He silently took the ragdoll cat away from Gu Qiufeng's arms.
This time, the conversation with Shen Yubo took a long time, so when Gu Qiufeng met Shao Qiushui again, it was already 9:35, which was closer to the first timeline. However, this time, he had already found out all the information he needed to know, and Gu Qiufeng got the conversation between the two people to the point with ease.
"Where did this cat come from?" Shao Qiu Shui asked curiously.
Gu Qiufeng smiled and said, "I picked it up. Your school doesn't forbid keeping pets, right?"
Shao Qiushui said: "Just pay attention to hygiene."
The two of them toured Yucheng University again. Gu Qiufeng almost memorized the topographic map by heart, and even greeted a few familiar ghost NPCs with a smile.
During this period, the Ragdoll Cat tried to escape from prison several times, but was caught by Feng He every time.
But Gu Qiufeng was also very curious. Even though the Ragdoll cat looked like it wanted to escape from them, it actually did not act that anxiously.
When he was talking to Shen Yubo just now, Gu Qiufeng did not deliberately avoid this puppet, so it should have known by now that the life and death of the NPC is the key to passing the game, but it did not want to look for the NPC.
Apart from the relatively low probability that it could not transform back into human form, Gu Qiufeng could see a kind of confidence from the Ragdoll Cat's behavior of still maintaining this form.
Could it be that the Ragdoll Cat's timeline has a higher priority than Scarface's, and it may even have reached the ending of the NPC it is responsible for, so it is so unhurried?
Gu Qiufeng: "This is really interesting."
"Hmm?" Shao Qiu Shui raised his eyes in confusion.
Gu Qiufeng smiled and said, "It's okay, I just thought of something fun - compared to this, classmate Shao, I feel a little tired, can we go to the dormitory first?"
Because of time constraints, Gu Qiufeng wanted to meet Shen Yubo and Yu Chiang again in the elevator, so the time for touring the campus had to be compressed.
"Okay, okay!" Shao Qiu Shui's face suddenly turned red, and he said quickly, "I was careless and forgot that you must be tired after sitting in the car all the way. Let's go and rest first. I'm really sorry!"
Gu Qiufeng waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to be sorry about. I should be grateful that you didn't abandon us."
He sighed in his heart, as expected, those few fluent and generous words Shao Qiu Shui said when they first met might have been spoken by this little girl after rehearsing for a long time.
After listening to Shao Qiu Shui and her mother quarreling twice, Gu Qiufeng discovered that Shao Qiu Shui's mother was actually a very strong woman. Under the upbringing of a mother with such a personality, Shao Qiu Shui showed more obvious cowardice, lack of independence and inferiority than other children of the same age.
But after these three cycles, Shao Qiu Shui is a kind-hearted and honest silly girl.
I wonder what her real ending was at Yucheng University half a year ago?
"Student Gu, is there anything dirty on my face?" Shao Qiu Shui asked awkwardly.
Gu Qiufeng then retracted his gaze and sighed, "Just now I just suddenly remembered the way classmate Shao danced. She was very beautiful."
Shao Qiushui pursed her lips and couldn't help but feel happy: "My dream is to dance on various stages in the future!"
Gu Qiufeng encouraged: "Well, come on."

At the same time as last time, Gu Qiufeng and Shao Qiushui got on the elevator. He asked, "It seems that there is no accommodation on the first floor. What is it used for?"
"On the left is the dormitory teacher's apartment. You can ask her if you have any questions." Shao Qiushui said, "On the right is the archive room. It contains the backup files of all the students in our building. It's very complete, but you may need to ask the dormitory teacher for the key."
Gu Qiufeng nodded. He planned to come down and take a look after he finished going to the laundry room.
They arrived at the second floor and Shen Yubo and Ah Xiu walked in.
Then it was Yu Chi'ang's turn to appear.
Gu Qiufeng had suspected many times that Yu Chi'ang was the white cat, but he had no evidence. In addition, the personality of this puppet seemed to be quite different from that of Yu Chi'ang, so he deliberately timed the elevator to see if Yu Chi'ang would appear on the third floor again.
Although he didn't know what the purpose of Yu Chi'ang and Shen Yubo going to the second and third floors was, since it had nothing to do with his main storyline, Gu Qiufeng didn't care.
The elevator opened.
Shen Yubo seemed a little nervous, even his breathing was disordered for a moment.
Just then, a pair of shoes stepped into the elevator door.
Yu Chiang walked over slowly with the hood of his sweatshirt on.
Shen Yubo breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Qiufeng raised his eyebrows. Why did he feel that Shen Yubo seemed very afraid that Yu Chiang would not show up?
Was it just that Yu Chi'ang and the white cat appeared at the same time and in the same place, or was it that he guessed wrong and the person pretending to be the white cat was not Yu Chi'ang?
His eyes fell on Yu Chiang's shoulder, and this time he did not see any white cat hair.
The elevator slowly reached the ninth floor. Just like in the previous timeline, Gu Qiufeng made an appointment with Yu Chiang and Shen Yubo to accompany Shao Qiu Shui to the laundry room.
The moment Yu Chiang walked out of the elevator, Gu Qiufeng looked at his back and slowly said, "Xiao Yu'er."
"Excuse me, your time."
Yu Chiang was standing outside the elevator. He paused slightly after hearing Gu Qiufeng's question and turned to look at him: "Same as you, but you don't seem to believe it."
Gu Qiufeng spread his hands helplessly: "You are really wronging me."
Yu Chiang lowered his eyes and said calmly: "If you didn't doubt me, you wouldn't ask this question. You can rest assured that I won't harm you, otherwise Shen Yubo wouldn't let me get close to you."
"Okay, I'm too suspicious." Gu Qiufeng smiled and changed the subject, "Then I want to ask you one last question."
"Yu Chiang, have we met in some corner of reality?"
Inside and outside the quiet elevator, Gu Qiufeng stood in the elevator with a metallic luster, his calm eyes fixed firmly on Yu Chiang's face, which might have fluctuating expressions.
Yu Chi'ang quickly glanced at the ground, then raised his eyes and said softly, "Senior, welcome."
Gu Qiufeng's expression was slightly stiff.
However, at this moment, the elevator door suddenly closed, leaving him no time to think about Yu Chiang's words.
A strange burst of girls' laughter came from all directions of the elevator where the alarm suddenly sounded, and surrounded Gu Qiufeng and the other two who were trapped inside.
"Are you ready?"
A faint voice suddenly fell into Gu Qiufeng's ears.
