Chapter 148 Three Fake People
No, it won't.
Li Ziyue calmed his mind.
But he could tell at a glance that Li Ziyue was lying.
Even if Li Ziyue really lied to him, what was his purpose? Was there something more tormenting him?
The residential building felt even more eerie on the second night. The heavy rain covered up all life. The lights in the rooms were off, the curtains were closed, and the windows in the corridor were rustling in the wind.
All living people seemed to have disappeared, and Li Ziyue was the only one still breathing in the entire area.
If all the players were really dead, then there would be no need for Li Ziyue to struggle too much. If there were still people alive, where might they be?
Apart from the sounds of wind, rain and thunder, there were no other noises around, and not even a single NPC was seen.
Li Ziyue followed the normal copy logic.
Usually this means that there is a second space in this area that he doesn't know about. The most common second space is an underground structure.
Li Ziyue groped along the edge of the room and finally found a soft section of the floor at the diagonal back of the seventh room. He stabbed the machete into the gap and then poked it upwards.
really.
There really is a basement-like construction here.
He lit a match prop and placed it underneath. The light instantly became bright, and the basement scene gradually appeared in front of him.
This place seemed to be used to store miscellaneous items. A large number of black boxes were stuffed in it randomly, and debris could be seen all around with the naked eye.
The match burned normally, indicating that there was sufficient oxygen underground and other ventilation openings existed.
But.
Li Ziyue had always been cautious. He did not go down directly, but instead placed a long stone at the entrance that blended into the darkness of the night. At the end of the stone was a transparent silk thread tied to the center of his finger. If someone moved his stone from above, he would know immediately.
The rain poured in through the wide open gap, and a damp and cold breath hit his face, mixed with an indescribable strange smell.
Li Ziyue felt heavier in his heart, as he knew exactly what the rusty smell meant.
The scimitar was spinning in his palm. Li Ziyue moved closer along the edge and finally heard other noises in front that sounded like those made by humans.
There are living creatures, but whether they are real people or fake people...it's hard to say.
There were boxes blocking the view in front, and Li Ziyue was leaning against the wall, so he couldn't see clearly. The closer he got, the more he felt that the sound was like clothes or something being torn or bitten.
Li Ziyue's heart skipped a beat.
Sometimes people's quick thinking also has its disadvantages, just like this time, although he didn't get close, he guessed what was happening there in an instant.
No matter what, just don't get involved with Sun Yuancheng.
Li Ziyue's throat seemed to be blocked by something, as if a heavy stone was pressing on his chest. The lighter his steps, the more frightened he felt.
When he actually saw that thing, he felt that his body lost some warmth.
The more you don't want to face something, the more likely it is to happen.
Li Ziyue's breathing became slow and difficult.
Rainwater dripped down along the cracks, and even though there was a layer of concrete in between, I could hear the roaring thunder above.
Tick.
Tick.
At the innermost edge of the basement, there lay a living dead man with only half of his body left.
His limbs looked like they had been torn apart by some wild beast. There was no flesh or blood on the broken parts, only human skin hanging on the protruding bones.
And that head was the most miserable.
Li Ziyue's hands were shaking, and he felt a stabbing pain between his bones, as if his lungs were being pulled out alive.
He didn't even need to move closer to know that the man was Sun Yuancheng.
What exactly happened and why did Sun Yuancheng die like this?
His brain seemed to be out of control again, the rain under his feet washed over his ankles, and the strands of hair hidden in the darkness rushed towards him again, until his limbs were entangled again and he could not move.
calm.
As soon as he closed his eyes, his mind uncontrollably recalled Wu Tian's head falling in the water pipe that he had seen earlier.
The head was also drained of blood and flesh, and turned into a human skin bag. The skin was swollen by blisters and even had dense black fungus growing on it.
Is the culprit of all this the kid on the third floor?
If the child ate Sun Yuancheng, where is it now?
The tiny noise he heard earlier could not have been caused by a corpse, unless Sun Yuancheng had cannibalized himself.
There is a third person here.
If you're unlucky, there may even be a fourth person.
Li Ziyue hid his body in the darkness, and the rain under his feet formed a slightly abnormal arc.
Something is approaching.
Li Ziyue frowned. The curvature of the water under his feet was unusual. It would be difficult for a child of a few years old to take such big steps. Could the person coming be the child's "mother"?
"Mother"?
Didn’t Wu Tian die because he played the role of a child’s mother?
Wu Tian is dead, Sun Yuancheng is also dead, who is the third mother?
The ripples on the water beneath his feet became more obvious, but Li Ziyue now lowered his eyes to look at the palm of his hand.
He was certainly not stupid enough to think that there would be no emergencies in the basement. He pasted a mirror fragment half the size of his palm on the surface of all the black boxes he passed by. Through the refraction of light and the change of the angle of the mirror in his hand, he could predict in advance who was coming.
Who would have thought that this would once again catch him by surprise.
The person who came was not a child, nor was he another player, but Sun Yuancheng who should have been dead.
Li Ziyue only felt a stinging pain in his eyes, and the unavoidable physiological reaction forced him to plunge himself into complete darkness.
In the next breath, before he opened his eyes, he heard the sound of water suddenly become rapid. In less than half a second, that "Sun Yuancheng" was only three meters away from him.
"elder brother."
A familiar voice, an unusual accent, and an unidentified person.
The corner of "Sun Yuancheng"'s mouth was half cracked, with flesh and blood hanging on it that had not yet formed a protective barrier. There was no part of his body that was not covered in blood. The liquid had not yet oxidized dark red on a large scale, and it looked like beating hearts on his body.
His neck was twisted downwards strangely. There was no light in the basement, so Li Ziyue could only vaguely judge that there was something stuck on "Sun Yuancheng's" back, but he was not sure what it was.
Li Ziyue's heart was pounding.
"Sun Yuancheng" did not intend to be polite with Li Ziyue.
"You shouldn't have come." He acted unusually calm, completely different from the timidity in "Primary Pseudo-Human Copy".
"You ate..."
"Can you hide all this for me?" "Sun Yuancheng" interrupted him coldly.
"Who are you?" Li Ziyue said indifferently.
"I am whoever you think I am." "Sun Yuancheng" wiped the bloody corner of his lips with his fingers. He walked slowly and folded up the body of another Sun Yuancheng who died on the edge with an expressionless face. "Here, does it matter who is who?"
"A fake person will hurt you." He punched the corpse, "A real person will hurt you too."
"Who hurt you?" Li Ziyue's tone became heavy.
"Sun Yuancheng" smiled faintly: "What's the point of saying this now? Some died, some disappeared, can you avenge me? Besides, you will die soon too."
Li Ziyue remained silent and listened to "Sun Yuancheng" calling him again.
"Brother." "Sun Yuancheng" turned around and sat in the corner. He bent down, lowered his head and sighed slowly, "I was so tired when you were not around."
The thing attached to the back of his neck seemed to bite him hard. "Sun Yuancheng" groaned and instantly rolled on the ground in pain.
Li Ziyue frowned and his temples twitched.
"Fang Yuan and Fang Chi were killed, I can't figure out Zhang Xingzhi's identity, and Liu Yuche's whereabouts are still unknown," he slumped against the wall, his voice choking, "I don't have anyone to rely on or talk to, and I even sacrificed myself to save Wu Tian, but who would have thought that Wu Tian could not be saved, and I became the next sacrifice instead."
It turns out that the thing hiding behind "Sun Yuancheng" is none other than the NPC child who previously called Wu Tian mother.
"You said I was a genius." He covered his face with his hands, his whole body trembling. "Really? If it weren't for what you said, if you hadn't made me the so-called 'savior', would I have fallen to this point?"
Li Ziyue's hand hanging by his side moved slightly.
No.
No.
I have no idea……
The hair that had been hidden in the darkness was like octopus tentacles. They gradually coiled around the edge of Li Ziyue's calf. The hair was pulled back, leaving marks on his muscles.
It was cold, damp and dark, and Li Ziyue felt so cold that he lost consciousness.
"I'm not a genius, brother," "Sun Yuancheng" slowly raised his head, his eyes turned a terrifying blood red, and long streaks of blood rolled down his eye sockets, "Why did you say those things to me?"
"You patiently led me through the dungeon back then, wasn't it because you thought I was similar to you?"
"Sun Yuancheng" had a sad smile on his face: "What are you and I similar in?! If I were smarter than you, would I be so foolish as to listen to you and always be the first to take action, only to end up being eaten by monsters, having my flesh and blood sucked out, and having to wait for death!"
"All your kindness to me was just to lure me into trusting you. I should have engraved your words to me in the dungeon long ago: 'If I were a fake person, I would hide until the end and kill all of you!'"
Li Ziyue clenched his fists.
"Sun Yuancheng" pressed on step by step: "In the end, you also regarded me as a 'chess piece' that can be used to test the rules!"
“Chess piece… chess piece…” The child who was living on the back of “Sun Yuancheng” like a vampire giggled, “So he thought you were a chess piece to help him survive.”
Every word Sun Yuancheng said was like a knife cutting into Li Ziyue's heart, making it difficult for him to breathe. He wanted to retort, but found that his throat was dry and swollen, and he could not utter a word. He could only dry heave.
Li Ziyue couldn't help coughing, his vision gradually dimmed, everything around him had double images, and then turned into humans, moving towards him step by step.
[It's your fault that Sun Yuancheng is like this]
[If you hadn't been lazy and thrown the burden to him, if you had still protected him behind you like before, he wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable situation.]
[You are selfish and only care about your own affairs without considering the overall situation. Is there anyone here who doesn't need your help? Is there any player who doesn't need you? ]
Why didn’t everyone get saved?
Why not do everything perfectly?
Where were you and what were you doing when they died?
[You wake up again and again, but can you tell what is real and what is fake? ]
[You don’t even understand yourself]
No.
That's not the case.
I don't……
I never thought of using anyone as a pawn, nor did I just want to survive by myself.
Li Ziyue gradually lost his strength, half of his body fell on the small box behind him, and the rain wet his face.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry for making you endure so much..."
His lips were bloodless and his voice was extremely hoarse.
"But I..."
Li Ziyue choked with sobs.
But I’m so tired too.
At this moment, the thin string tied around his finger suddenly loosened, but Li Ziyue didn't seem to notice it at all. His mental pollution became more and more serious, and he couldn't see anything around him and couldn't even hear the sounds clearly.
At the place where he had just come down, the feldspar was picked up and placed just above the entrance.
It was impossible for Li Ziyue to return by the same route.
It’s not just bad here.
There was a pitch-black, long and thin thing sticking to the top of the dark and damp basement. It looked like a human, but also like a snake, with slender limbs like the tail of a cutlassfish. It stared straight at Li Ziyue, who seemed unable to open his eyes, with its mouth slightly open and drooling.
If the lights could be turned on at this moment so that Li Ziyue could see it, he would only be more frightened.
This monster has five separate snake bodies, but all of its snake faces are exactly the same as Sun Yuancheng's.
It is the third "Sun Yuancheng".
The basement was much weirder than the ground level, and Li Ziyue shouldn't have come down there in the first place.
Perhaps this is what Li Ziyue expected, the best way to torture him to death.
