Chapter 139 You Finally Woke Up
Li Ziyue's Adam's apple rolled, and he turned his body slightly to the side. He asked knowingly, "...Who are you?"
"I'm your colleague, Cleaner No. 002."
Li Ziyue had a normal male body shape, while No. 002 was exceptionally muscular, with calves as thick as Li Ziyue's thighs. He wore a loose blue and black work suit, a pair of black boots on his feet, and a baseball cap on his head that covered most of his face, which naturally blocked his expression.
Just as Li Ziyue retreated to the edge of the door, the man suddenly turned around and reached out to grab Li Ziyue's wrist.
His tone was cold: "Partner, I don't have a vacuum cleaner."
The implication was that Li Ziyue needed to wait by his side until he finished cutting up the body.
Now, no matter how much Li Zi wanted to leave, he couldn't.
Li Ziyue shifted his gaze slightly, not wanting to see such a disgusting scene, but heard the man speak again.
"Partner, can't you see?"
His head turned with a click, and his chin, which was covered with prickly beard, was covered with unknown blood and flesh.
"Why divert your attention?"
Li Ziyue shook his head.
"The window is facing me, the wind is blowing in through the window, and the smell is so bad in the direction I'm facing."
002The snake-like gaze lingered on Li Ziyue for a full half minute. Finally, he sneered and turned back to work.
"Partner, what do you want me to do with these things?"
002 lowered his head, the tips of two large knives were stuck in the wooden table and chair beside him.
"Do you want me to slice it, chop it, or cut it into pieces..."
Human imagination makes what 002 said particularly disgusting.
Li Ziyue's lower lip turned whiter and the back of his head, which had been hit, hurt more and more.
Just as he was feeling dizzy, a sharp cry pierced out from the pile of corpses. The miserable cry, which sounded like that of a dying pig, made Li Ziyue's temples jump twice.
The screams were followed by uncontrollable sobbing and begging for mercy.
"Please..."
“Don’t do this…”
Weak cries could be heard intermittently from the corner, and something over there was trembling in fear.
No. 002 became more and more excited: "Partner, did you hear that? Someone is screaming. He is still alive. I like to use knives on living things."
He licked his lips, his eyes tinged with red.
Li Ziyue was silent for a while and just shook his head.
002 pulled the two sharp knives from the table and walked straight to the corner with big strides.
"I can't find my rules."
When he was about to approach the place where the commotion occurred, Li Ziyue suddenly said.
"Do you have the cleaning staff's code with you?"
002 turned around: "What?"
"Haven't you read the rules?" Li Ziyue said softly.
“I have.”
“Are you a qualified cleaner?”
"Of course." 002 didn't pause.
Li Ziyue said calmly: "Mirror Community is very safe, why would someone scream?"
"Also, Article 5 of the Code states that only blind people can be cleaners."
He leaned back: "How did you find out that my gaze was diverted?"
002 rarely froze his movements, and the two swords just stayed suspended in mid-air.
Li Ziyue saw that his mouth opened mechanically, and his lower jaw was like a melting iceberg, with liquid dripping down.
Then, a scream that seemed to shatter the entire building came out of his throat.
Only a tiny sound like breaking glass rang in Li Ziyue's ears, covered by the screams.
He was slightly stunned.
[Congratulations on successfully playing the role of a cleaner, we will give you some rewards]
Li Ziyue found that he suddenly could not hear 002's screams.
The sight turned into darkness in an instant.
He really couldn't see anymore.
As he staggered, the vacuum cleaner that had stopped working because of the hair was suddenly turned on. The sudden roar startled Li Ziyue. He pressed his body tightly against the wall behind him, groping behind his back with his hands, trying to determine the direction in this way.
It doesn't matter.
He thought silently in his heart.
I just couldn't hear the screams, but my hearing was not completely lost.
Night is coming soon, and losing your eyesight now can help you adapt to the night in advance.
It doesn't matter.
His heart beat faster and faster, and at the same time, someone was running on the other side of the corridor.
When a person suddenly loses sight in a dangerous situation, the fear in his heart grows exponentially.
Li Ziyue had cold sweat on his forehead and his whole body was tense.
It doesn't matter.
Li Ziyue seemed to hear the disturbing sound of water again.
It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay.
The water wrapped around his ankles, holding him in place.
The coldness is like a sharp knife, stabbing my heart.
Then someone hugged him, and the familiar smell made Li Ziyue lose his strength instantly.
His heart was beating faster than ever, but for the first time he felt the peace of mind of being down to earth.
Li Ziyue felt a lump in his nose and choked up.
"Zhang Lian."
He spoke in a low voice.
Zhang Lian stroked the back of his head and patted it gently.
"Don't worry, Li Ziyue," Zhang Lian said in a low voice, "All you saw was an empty room with nothing in it. You didn't meet anyone, and you didn't hear any other sounds."
Zhang Lian's hand touched the side of Li Ziyue's face and kissed the tip of his red ear: "It's okay."
Li Ziyue was breathing slightly. He put his arms around Zhang Lian's neck and leaned against him.
"Let me," he took a deep breath, "give me some time, let me calm down."
The surroundings seemed to become clear again. When a heavy rain was about to come, the wind was mixed with a slightly cool liquid. The trees swayed, and the green leaves collided, making a reassuring "rustling" sound.
Li Ziyue narrowed his eyes slightly and felt a faint light beside him. As the light grew brighter, he saw a corridor still filled with water. Next to it was a wall that had been soaked in rain for half a night and had a darker color. A dim light was on above it, and the wind blew, making an old creaking sound.
It was eerily quiet all around.
The open door next to him shook twice. The more Li Zi looked over, the room was empty. There was really nothing inside.
He didn't have a vacuum cleaner in his hands.
There was no Zhang Lian either.
Everything disappeared, leaving only Li Ziyue standing in the middle of the empty corridor.
All his perceptions were too clear, so clear that he could almost see the organs in his body functioning.
For some reason, his clothes suddenly began to seep water. The freezing liquid increased in volume and gradually soaked his entire body. Small streams of water dripped down the sides of his face.
Li Ziyue leaned against the wall.
He had a splitting headache, and at the same time, he felt a strange restlessness in his throat, limbs, and even lower abdomen.
Something was entangled in him, trying to pull him down.
He fell in cold and pain.
The body becomes heavier.
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw the familiar ceiling, with the curtains beside him trembling.
I returned to the room where I had just woken up.
Li Ziyue's mind went blank. He stood up from the bed, gasping for breath.
He subconsciously glanced at the time on the corner of the table.
17:45.
Liu Yuche pushed the door open at this time.
"Oh my god..." Liu Yuche showed a frightened expression, "You finally woke up."
Li Ziyue stared at her warily.
Liu Yuche sighed, "After you completed the 'aftermath' mission, you were mentally contaminated by the dungeon and collapsed in the corridor on the third floor."
She looked down at the player system and said, "Luckily you woke up before six o'clock. I don't have to take the trouble to get you out of the room."
Li Ziyue held his forehead with one hand: "...I fainted again?"
"Yes." Liu Yuche handed him a glass of warm water. "Not only you, Fang Yuan and the others also fell into a coma for a period of time."
She was worried: "We'd better clear the dungeon as soon as possible. The mental pollution is so serious the next day. I don't dare to think about what will happen next."
Players who can enter high-level pseudo-human copies are more or less capable. It is impossible for them not to have completed copies related to mental pollution. Logically, they will not get into trouble as easily as ordinary players.
Despite this, no one can avoid this disaster.
Li Ziyue nodded numbly.
After a while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Where is Zhang Lian?"
"Zhang Lian?" Liu Yuche hissed, "He was on a mission just now, he should be back now. This room can accommodate two people at most at the same time, I guess he's waiting at the door."
Li Ziyue felt a little relieved.
Before leaving, Liu Yuche glanced at the bedside table.
The cup of warm water that she had handed to Li Ziyue earlier had turned cold.
No signs of drinking.
Her expression was gloomy, she looked away and closed the door.
The twin murderer side quest has ended. All you have to do is go to the restaurant on time and tell everyone that you are still alive.
Li Ziyue's eyes fell on every person who came to the restaurant. Apart from being a little tired, there was nothing unusual about everyone, and there was no shortage of people.
It was obviously a good thing, but Li Ziyue couldn't be happy.
Is that all?
Li Ziyue stood beside the pool, staring at his reflection in the water.
What is the most critical part of this copy?
It's the rules, it's the mental pollution, it's the mission, it's to solve the twin murderers...
twin?
Why does this copy have twins...
He looked at himself in the reflection and frowned.
Li Ziyue stretched out his hand to touch the lake surface, but the sudden chill forced him to withdraw his hand immediately.
The mirror images in the lake created ripples, and people's faces were exaggerated into various shapes, rising and falling with the trembling of the water.
Even after waking up, the unspeakable panic and strangeness in my heart still did not dissipate.
He really forgot a lot of things.
Zhang Lian touched the back of Li Ziyue's neck. His fingertips were a little cool and his hands moved gently, gradually dispelling the uneasiness in Li Ziyue's heart.
The clouds grew heavier in the evening, and occasionally a few tiny raindrops could be seen floating in the air.
Zhang Lian touched the tip of Li Ziyue's ear and said, "It's going to rain. Go into the room first."
rain?
Li Ziyue suddenly started to wake up and looked up: "What time is it now?"
"Half past seven."
Li Ziyue frowned quickly: "...time flies so fast."
Zhang Lian blinked and said nothing.
Li Ziyue raised his head and looked into Zhang Lian's eyes.
A cool breeze blew at night, the pond was quiet, and no koi were seen swimming in it.
I don’t know how long it took, but I saw Zhang Lian smiling lightly.
He reached out and pinched Li Ziyue's soft left earlobe, rubbed it, then lowered his head and gently pressed his lips against Li Ziyue's: "Who am I?"
"Li Ziyue, you have forgotten who I am." Zhang Lian said in a low voice.
Li Ziyue frowned, not understanding why Zhang Lian asked this question: "...I haven't forgotten..."
His words suddenly stopped, and he stared at Zhang Lian in a daze.
"Who are you……"
The invisible water came again, and the cold smell pierced his lungs. Countless black threads surrounded him completely. Li Ziyue suddenly lost his strength and his vision went dark.
In a panic, he grabbed the hem of Zhang Lian's shirt tightly and coughed violently twice until half a strand of jet-black hair came out of his throat.
"Who are you……"
He uttered those two words with great effort: "Fake person..."
"No...you really...no..."
Li Ziyue could no longer speak. The whole world seemed to twist and collapse again. The blood in his body was madly crashing against the confinement of his blood vessels. His heartbeat was like thunder in the sky, rolling in along with the sound of water that surrounded him.
He was still falling.
It was not until someone suddenly grabbed my wrist that the feeling of falling disappeared.
“Ahem…”
When he opened his eyes again, everything around him was bright. He was soaked all over, leaning against the edge of the pool, breathing hard.
Someone next to him was patting his back to help him calm down.
Li Ziyue almost vomited out everything in his stomach. When he could barely hear the sounds around him, that sentence haunted him again like a ghost.
"You finally woke up."
