Chapter 147 Why not wait for him to slap me?
Li Ziyue thought he was a principled man, but when his so-called principles were applied to Zhang Lian, nothing counted.
Looking up for the fourth time and seeing Zhang Lian eating with an expressionless face, Li Ziyue finally sighed: "Players can only go to the virtual world after leaving the dungeon. Doesn't this room also belong to the dungeon? How can I go to your world?"
Zhang Lian was stunned.
"Didn't I promise you that I would live here with you forever?" Li Ziyue added.
"So this is what you were thinking about just now." Zhang Lian pushed the cooled soup in front of Li Ziyue.
Li Ziyue tilted his head: "What else? What do you think I'm thinking?"
Zhang Lian smiled: "Nothing."
What Zhang Lian mentioned just now was definitely not this matter, and Li Ziyue did not fail to respond to Zhang Lian in time because he had to live here for the rest of his life.
The two of them knew what the other was talking about, but they had to talk about something else to keep the other person guessing.
"What if there is a way to connect to the virtual world in the future?" Zhang Lian said nonchalantly, "Li Ziyue, you wash the dishes."
Zhang Lian had never asked Li Ziyue to do any housework, so Li Ziyue subconsciously asked, "Why should I wash the dishes?"
Zhang Lian lowered his eyes and tapped his forehead: "Because I wasn't very happy just now."
His eyes curved as he began to clean up the dishes: "Now I'm happy, you don't have to wash them."
Li Ziyue sat there, somewhat confused.
However, Zhang Lian used to do things that were much ado about nothing. His emotions came and went quickly, and basically, as long as Li Ziyue said a few words to him, Zhang Lian would calm himself down.
Zhang Lian just walked into the living room when he saw Li Ziyue staring at the wound on his wrist in a daze.
"elder brother."
He took out a small dog wallet the size of a palm from the locker next to him and handed it to Li Ziyue: "You keep it."
There was a key in the wallet, and a small stack of change was stuffed in the innermost layer: "Where is the key?"
Zhang Lian pointed to the door: "Master key, we'll go out for a while."
"Can we still go out?" Li Ziyue was surprised.
Zhang Lian raised his eyebrows: "I was just trying to scare you before. Do you really think I'm going to lock you up here forever?"
"What are you going out for?"
"Do you think the refrigerator is a treasure chest that can fill itself?" Zhang Lian ruffled Li Ziyue's hair: "Of course it's for buying groceries, otherwise what will we eat in the evening."
"oh."
Asked a stupid question.
He stood at the door in a daze, waiting for Zhang Lian to turn off the lights in the living room.
Outside the door is a normal corridor of a residential building. There is a red couplet pasted on the door of the neighbor opposite, and there are water stains on the cushion underneath, which obviously shows that someone has lived there recently.
Are the people here virtual or transferred from somewhere else?
Li Ziyue thought slowly.
You can visit later.
By the way, why isn’t Zhang Lian well yet?
Before he could turn around, he felt someone push him lightly on the back.
Such a gentle force made Li Ziyue take a step forward uncontrollably, and then the originally solid ground instantly turned into nothingness.
Li Ziyue's body was suspended in the air. He looked up blankly at Zhang Lian who was standing at the door.
Zhang Lian smiled at him with pursed lips.
"elder brother."
At that time, Li Ziyue didn't know that this might be the last words Zhang Lian said he would ever hear in his life.
He didn't even have time to respond before the door disappeared from his sight forever.
From beginning to end, Zhang Lian never thought of trapping Li Ziyue here forever.
…
“Ahem!”
Li Ziyue coughed while leaning against the wall.
As soon as he returned to the original room, damp and cold instantly hit him. The particularly clear sound of rain splashing surrounded his ears. The thunder never stopped. The freezing cold water seeped in through the gaps at the door and had soaked the entire area.
[Li Ziyue] tilted his head slightly, with a mocking arc on his lips: "Are you back?"
At this moment, there were only two of them left, and even Zhang Lian's fake man had disappeared.
Li Ziyue held the wallet that Zhang Lian had handed to him earlier. He tried to suppress the nausea that was surging in his stomach: "This..."
"I don't know." [Li Ziyue] naturally knew what Li Ziyue wanted to ask, "The item used by Zhang Lian is at the same level as the high-level pseudo-human copy. I don't have the authority to query it."
[Li Ziyue] I certainly didn’t lie to him.
Li Ziyue fell against the wall, supporting his forehead with one hand, which was covered with cold sweat.
His mental pollution became more and more serious, and now he can't stand even the sound of rain.
[Li Ziyue] glanced at him indifferently, without any intention of lending a helping hand, and just chuckled.
"You look really ugly like this."
Li Ziyue ignored his sarcasm. After sitting down, his mental state stabilized a little, which allowed him to think about the whole thing.
He always felt that Zhang Lian was hiding something from him, but his focus was on Zhang Lian's identity, and a little negligence prevented him from noticing Zhang Lian's final abnormality.
According to Zhang Lian, that room is a whole new world, and if the people inside don't leave within two hours, they will have to live in it for the rest of their lives.
But why did Zhang Lian push him out in the end?
Is there only room for one person in the room? Or does one person have to stay behind?
But this is the prop used by Zhang Lian himself. If the price is so heavy, why would Zhang Lian trap himself in it?
Why did Zhang Lian say that he wanted him to go to Zhang Lian's world? If theoretically they couldn't see each other again, why did Zhang Lian act so sad when he got his silence?
There are a lot of questions, but things become much simpler after simplifying them: Zhang Lian stayed in the room, and he wanted to rescue him.
Li Ziyue looked down at the puppy wallet in his hand.
The thing Zhang Lian gave him at the end was definitely not just an excuse to get him to go to the door. There might be clues to finding Zhang Lian in it.
Li Ziyue slowly closed his eyes.
After sorting out all the questions, everything became clear.
After leaving the room, time started to move normally again and his wrist began to ache like fire.
However, after a few seconds the pain slowly disappeared and the wound stopped bleeding.
Li Ziyue heard his own rapid breathing, and a little green light appeared at the junction of his wrist and palm. That was what Zhang Lian had done for him earlier.
The coldness inhaled through his nose entered his body through his respiratory tract, stimulating Li Ziyue and making his whole body shiver.
It would be good if Zhang Lian was here.
Li Ziyue lowered his head, unconsciously recalling Zhang Lian's hands covering his ears when the rainstorm fell and Zhang Lian's clear and strong heartbeat when he approached.
How could this happen?
Now I think of him like this.
"Don't think about others here," Li Ziyue said coldly, "Your companions are all going to die, you should think more about how you will die."
Li Ziyue raised his eyes instantly.
"Hmm?" [Li Ziyue] raised one corner of his mouth, "I guess... only Sun Yuancheng is still alive... but he will die soon."
[Li Ziyue] looked like he was enjoying a good show: "Go to the ground floor now and see what exciting things the new dungeon player you brought up is doing."
"But you are afraid of the water." He approached step by step, "You know that if you leave this room now, your spirit will completely collapse. You also know that the player mortality rate is so high, and it must be very dangerous outside. You can hardly cope with it in your normal mental state, let alone you now."
"But are you going to get out or not? Are you going to die here like a coward, or become food for the monsters outside for some ridiculous friendship?"
Li Ziyue looked coldly and did not answer.
"Oh," [Li Ziyue] grabbed the hair on Li Ziyue's forehead that was wet with cold sweat, "You mean that we are going to die anyway, so instead of sitting and waiting to die, we should go out, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."
"Maybe?" He chuckled. "You think you're good at gambling, but what capital do you have to gamble now? Why do you think you can definitely find a chance of survival that is almost zero?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Li Ziyue coughed painfully.
[Li Ziyue]'s eyes darkened, and a ferocious blood-red rose in the center of his pupils: "What does it have to do with me? It has a lot to do with me."
He gently tapped Li Ziyue's brow.
In an instant, the sound of rain seemed to become smaller, and the hair that was entangled and suffocating Li Ziyue retreated one after another. He seemed to be fished out from the depths of the sea, his whole body was cold and wet, but there was finally air around him that allowed him to breathe.
"It would be so meaningless to let you die like this," Li Ziyue's eyes curved into crescents. He looked at the person who looked like him and said softly, "I want you to see all the corpses with your own eyes, and realize that your struggle for the past six years was nothing but a bubble."
"When you feel discouraged," the wound on Li Ziyue's wrist began to feel hot, but it didn't hurt. Instead, it brought Li Ziyue some warmth, "When you want to end your life like a walking corpse, I will let you live on."
[Li Ziyue] smiled and said, "Go away, Li Ziyue. I'm annoyed when I see you."
…
“You just let him go like that?” Li Ziyue leaned against the fence on the second floor, his eyes fixed below, and heard someone next to him ask.
"Or wait for him to slap me?" [Li Ziyue] snorted.
People around him were surprised: "Li Ziyue rarely hits people."
"Anyway, if anyone talks like this in front of me, I will kick him." [Li Ziyue] muttered.
The people around him nodded and began to fan the flames: "But Li Ziyue's temper has improved a lot in the past six years. He even wanted to slap you in the face. It seems that Li Ziyue really hates you."
"I don't know whether he dislikes me or not. You need to tell me," Li Ziyue turned his head away irritably, "It just so happens that I don't like him either."
…
Wu Tian is the type of person who "will get his feet wet if he walks by the river often". He treated the advanced pseudo-human copy as an ordinary copy, and eventually capsized in the gutter, with all his flesh and blood sucked out by the child, leaving him a dry skeleton.
When Li Ziyue thought of Wu Tian’s upside-down head, he couldn’t help but feel a chill.
Because he had experienced many inexplicable "awakenings", all the scenes overlapped, and Li Ziyue's memory was very confused. The last time he saw Duan Yan was when he and Duan Yan teamed up to complete the cleaner's rules. Duan Yan disappeared in the room for some reason, and even Bai Yu didn't know where he went.
In connection with what Sun Yuancheng said before, Duan Yan will be labeled as a "bad guy" for the time being.
The situations of the remaining four people, Fang Yuan, Fang Chi, Liu Yuche and Zhang Xingzhi, are rather special. Li Ziyue has not found them yet. Maybe they are hiding somewhere, or maybe they are already dead.
Finally, only Sun Yuancheng was left.
Li Ziyue searched the first floor, but apart from finding a few faceless bodies swollen by water, he didn't even see a hair of Sun Yuancheng.
What was going on? Could it be that [Li Ziyue] was so powerful that he could even be fooled?
