“It’s a huge problem.”

At night, Zheng Li looked at the snow outside the window and felt that something was wrong with the house.

Especially the woman who came last.

Her ID is [Charcoal-grilled Salt and Pepper Seal]. She didn’t say her name, only that you can call her Leopard.

Ever since that woman came, the conditions of the others have become abnormal.

They seemed to be trying their best to please this woman. Both men and women were concerned about her and were like eunuchs fawning on the emperor.

This kind of flattery has gone beyond the scope of normal concern, as if this woman possesses infinite charm.

That would be nice.

But Zheng Li just felt that this woman was dangerous.

Zheng Li has never forgotten the dream of that day. Although he and the woman only made eye contact, Zheng Li still felt a sense of panic.

Now, facing the woman surrounded by the crowd, Zheng Li felt as helpless as a rabbit facing a wolf.

After dinner, everyone started to get down to business.

Anyway, there is no way to leave now, so I have to stay here, or else I will work harder and try to complete [Soul Summoning Night].

Their gaming strategy was also very simple: one group of people entered the game to look for strategies, while the other group stayed outside, constantly paying attention to online news and, at the same time, recording the new discoveries of those strategy players.

As the game has been on sale for a month, experienced players have already figured out some key points in the early stages. If they are skilled, it won't be a problem to start from the beginning and run to the farthest point in the plot in more than 30 hours.

Moreover, these devices contain various archives, which can effectively reduce the cost of trial and error.

Of course, they didn’t actually plan to complete the game in just two or three days. The essence of it was just a gathering of netizens.

Zheng Li looked at the woman opposite him and broke out in a cold sweat.

Several others had put on helmets and were suffering in the game.

Zheng Li and [Charcoal-grilled Salt and Pepper Seal] sat face to face.

The two of them were sitting in front of the computer, Zheng Li was absent-minded, just like when he was in junior high school and was always distracted by the boy sitting next to his female classmate.

He glanced at the screen of the girl next to him from time to time and found that the girl was reading the news on the social platform.

If that were all, that would be it.

But she read the news very quickly, switching to the next page after just one glance. And that page was filled with densely packed text, making it impossible for a normal person to finish reading it.

In the dim room, a group of people were wearing virtual reality helmets and were silent. Only this girl kept clicking the mouse. The scene was not warm and happy, but it was at least weird and terrifying.

Zheng Li's heart was in his throat. He had no idea who this woman was. He was like a rabbit backed into a corner, pitiful, weak and helpless.

Suddenly, Zheng Li heard the sound from next door and stopped.

He couldn't help but look over out of curiosity and found that the other person was looking at him.

That look was like a hungry lion seeing a lame buffalo.

"What do you think of Lu Ban?"

The girl suddenly spoke, and Zheng Li shuddered subconsciously, but when he heard the other party's question, he became confused again.

I can’t do that to Zheng Li.

"He... is a very good director. No, he is an excellent director who can always bring people unexpected experiences and feelings. I think he will definitely go down in history. He is really amazing..."

Zheng Li praised Lu Ban hesitantly.

"oh."

The girl responded, like a cat wagging its tail to show that it understood.

Seeing the girl fall silent again, Zheng Li didn't know where he got the courage from. He suddenly had an idea and asked a question.

"So what do you think of Lu Ban?"

After hearing Zheng Li's question, the girl fell into deep thought for a rare moment. After a moment, she opened her mouth to answer.

“It’s fun.”

"Fun?"

Zheng Li didn't quite understand this comment.

"You mean he's interesting?"

"I just discovered a problem with the game."

The girl did not continue the topic, but pointed to the computer screen.

"Look, we're going to a funeral, but has anyone seen a coffin?"

After hearing what the girl said, Zheng Li wanted to argue subconsciously at first, but before he could say anything, he suddenly understood what the other party meant.

"...Yeah, why didn't we think of going to the funeral hall?"

Zheng Li suddenly felt that many things could be explained clearly. He had an urge to enter the game immediately and didn't care how weird the girl next to him was.

Women will only affect the speed at which he plays games!

Zheng Li put on the helmet and quickly immersed himself in the game.

Only the girl was left, looking at the people lying down.

“That’s quite an idea.”

She laughed, then went to the kitchen, turned on the gas stove, and made some midnight snacks. While eating, she continued to watch the content on the computer.

"Instant noodles are better cooked before serving, and fried luncheon meat is a must."

The girl murmured and opened another can of ice cola.

After finishing her midnight snack, she patted her stomach and then walked to the hall. The wind and snow were still blowing outside and she didn't know when it would stop.

The girl opened the door, and the strong wind made a whimpering sound, roaring and mixed with snowflakes to get in through the crack of the door.

She walked out of the house, and her footprints on the snow were almost instantly covered by the wind and snow.

The girl looked at the vast land and somewhere in the south.

"It's time to go."

The next moment, she disappeared into the snowstorm.

The snow was still hitting the windows, but the force seemed to have diminished a lot.

The next day, Zheng Li took off his helmet. He had countless thoughts in his mind that he wanted to express. He looked at those confused netizens and suddenly felt a sense of superiority.

Although he has not yet completed the game, Zheng Li has already discovered the cheats to complete the game.

That means there are two Brownings!

One is in the wine cellar and the other is in the mourning hall!

As long as you can tell which one is the real Browning or which one is the real Heming Taoist, you will be able to defeat the other side, resolve the crisis of the Summoning Night, and pass the level.

He was about to show off when suddenly, Zheng Li felt something was wrong.

His intuition told him that something was wrong, but he couldn't find it.

A moment later, Zheng Li looked at the leftover instant noodle bowls and empty Coke cans on the kitchen table and was suddenly stunned.

"Are we still going to have someone else? Where's the [Grilled Salt and Pepper Seal]?"

Zheng Li turned around and asked others.

"What is it? What seal? We are all here, aren't we?"

Someone asked back, looking at Zheng Li with strange eyes.

"ah?"

Zheng Li was stunned, and then a chill ran up his spine.

…

River City.

Lu Ban woke up to the ringing of the doorbell.

He looked at the time. It was only seven in the morning. He probably hadn't ordered any takeout, and there was no courier coming to his door today.

"Naughty kid? Did you ring the wrong doorbell?"

Lu Ban picked up the intercom.

"Who is it?"

He asked.

"Hello, I'm [Charcoal Grilled Salt and Pepper Seal]."

A girl's voice sounded, soft and gentle, but it was a voice that Lu Ban would never forget.
