On the other hand, due to the large number of secret passages, in order to pursue efficiency, Number One and Number Two decided to split up.
"Please be careful." The second woman looked over with a hint of worry.
"Don't worry, at least so far, apart from us players, we haven't seen any other living creatures here," Number One said reassuringly.
Number Two nodded slightly, suppressing the unease deep in his heart. He took out a piece of candy from his pocket and stuffed it into Number One's hand: "The props are still with you, right? I'm a little... never mind, whether we find them or not, we'll meet up in the hall later."
Player One did not refuse, but instead stuffed the candy into his pocket, then turned around and pushed open the hidden door next to him.
He walked through several rooms, but unfortunately, they all represented soldier ants. The secret passages here were interconnected, and when he pushed open another door, he unexpectedly returned to the room he had entered at the very beginning.
Player One stared in astonishment at the person sitting cross-legged on the bedside table, casually holding a gun.
"You are not..." He didn't have time to finish his sentence.
A bullet pierced cleanly between his eyebrows.
The gun was fitted with a silencer, so it didn't make any extra noise. The man jumped down from the bedside table, humming an off-key tune, and walked over briskly, bending down to examine the condition of the corpse.
Once he was sure the gun was dead, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Then, the gun in his hand gradually pixelated, eventually turning into dust and disappearing completely, as if it had never existed.
He reached into Number One's pocket and pulled out the candy. It was pink and strawberry-flavored, but when he put it in his mouth, it tasted like cheap, industrial saccharin.
The unwrapped candy wrapper fluttered to the ground.
He looked up at the suddenly dense, rapidly scrolling bullet comments on the ceiling, and bowed deeply in a gentlemanly and elegant manner: "Thank you for the donations, my friends."
Inside the room representing the female ant.
Xiao Cheng and Fang He had searched the entire house thoroughly, but still found nothing. Those three lines of comments hung blatantly on the ceiling, looking nothing more than a mockery.
"This won't do." Xiao Cheng sighed dejectedly. "Think of something, Fang He. The other you in the world is waiting for me outside the instance."
“But aren’t he and I the same person?” Fang He sat down beside her, staring at her intently with a complicated expression.
His gaze was too intense, making Xiao Cheng feel quite awkward. She uncomfortably looked away, saying, "You don't understand, he..." She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, looking up in astonishment at the countless comments flashing across the ceiling. "What happened?"
The original large-font bullet comments were completely submerged. After a long time, the messy bullet comments were cleared in an instant, and a row of strange emoticons slowly floated by, followed by a new prompt.
Congratulations to XX for successfully activating the tipping feature! Let's all keep up the good work and create even greater success together!
"The tipping function?" Xiao Cheng was a little confused. The barrage of comments just now was dense and layered, with almost no information that could be recognized.
Besides what they repeatedly emphasized on social media...
"Outside the door." Fang He instantly composed himself, his gaze sharp as he looked towards the doorway.
A rustling sound came from outside, followed by a slightly chaotic knocking on the door. There was no response, and the knocking gradually weakened, replaced by the sound of Player Number Four breathing heavily.
Is...is anyone inside?
Xiao Cheng and Fang He exchanged a glance, neither of them speaking, and quietly walked to the door, each standing on one side.
Number Four outside the door became somewhat impatient, anxiously scratching at the door with his fingernails, making a screeching sound.
A short while later, he actually dug a small hole in the door panel, and a slightly bloodshot eye peered into the hole: "It's you, Number Six."
He chuckled.
Xiao Cheng was right in his blind spot. He gestured to Fang He and then moved to the side of the wall, hiding himself even more completely.
Fang He understood what she meant and, without looking at her, spoke to Number Four: "Right, didn't Number Three tell you about me being trapped here?"
"Ah, yes, of course he told me," Number Four answered with great certainty. "He sent me to rescue you... the granary, yes, the granary, we found the granary."
As he spoke, he looked away from the opening and tried to open the door again. He wasn't quite used to it and pulled for a long time without success. Finally, he realized what was happening and managed to push the door open a crack.
"We need to break the steel bars first." He studied the problem intently, and as he spoke, an extremely sweet smell wafted out.
"Is it candy?" Fang He glanced at Xiao Cheng out of the corner of his eye and asked casually.
Number Four laughed happily: "Of course, of course it's candy."
"Are there any more?" Fang He smiled as well. "Could you please give me one too?"
"Ah, of course." Number Four reached into his pocket without hesitation, clenched his fist as if he really held something, and stretched out his arm over the railing to offer it to the person. "This is delicious."
"Thank you." Fang He smiled and looked down at the hand extended in front of him, then reached out and took the candy.
Just then, Xiao Cheng rushed over with lightning speed, grabbed the overly thin wrist, and slammed it heavily against the iron railing.
Number Four realized he had been tricked and immediately struggled to his feet, tilting his head back and letting out an extremely piercing and shrill scream.
Xiao Cheng's ears hurt from his noise, so she tightened her grip on his arm, causing the bones to creak under the strain.
