apartment
He Lizhou lowered his eyes and saw the shoes Lili was wearing, red pointed high heels, which matched the shoes he remembered Lili wearing when she first invited him to "that place".
At that time, he thought it was a dream before the loop. Now that he thinks about it, it is probably because a player promised Lili at that time and died in "that place", so he started the first loop at that time.
Lili saw He Lizhou's gaze, followed his gaze and looked down, then raised her toes and said nonchalantly, "Oh, you're talking about this, I only wear this pair of shoes when I go to work over there, do they look good?"
Before He Lizhou could reply, she recalled the thick smoke on the 4th floor and suddenly realized, "So you found the shoes I left in the room. How dare you enter an uninhabited room?"
Lili clicked her tongue a few times and looked at He Lizhou with a curious look, "I've never seen anyone as courageous as you."
He Lizhou smiled and didn't comment. He was relaxed, but Peng Ningyu couldn't relax. She couldn't help but take a step forward and asked, "Why did you put the matchbox in my pocket?"
Lili lifted her curly hair and said, "I like you, so I gave you a life-saving item. It seems that you have used it. You are lucky, little sister."
Peng Ningyu pursed her lips. It was obvious that Lili had a secret. She might know something about the copy, or even about the system. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to use the props. How could the ordinary matchbox she gave her have such great power?
But she didn't want to say it out loud, so she just said it casually, and no one could force her to do it.
This is really unfair to Lili. Although Lili is indeed very irrational sometimes, this sentence is really spoken from the heart.
Lili looked at the suspicion in Peng Ningyu's eyes, curled her red lips, and suddenly started counting down, "3...2...1, here it comes."
As she finished her words, the landlord appeared out of nowhere, looking at the 4th floor burning with rage, his eyes bloodshot, "Who did this! Who did this!"
Peng Ningyu looked away guiltily. He Lizhou and Sheng Ju looked indifferent, as if they hadn't heard anything.
The landlord suddenly grabbed the corner of Sheng Ju's clothes, "Cigarette Ashes!! It's you! I knew you wouldn't stay still!"
Sheng Ju pulled back the corner of his clothes, "Don't talk nonsense, I was going to put out the fire, but I failed."
The system seemed to have deliberately stuck at this time to remind him, and the cold system voice seemed to have a strange sense of gloating, "NPC found a clue, please pay the corresponding compensation."
Sheng Ju: ...
I don’t know if the landlord could hear this voice, but he seemed to be more confident and started cursing with his hands on his hips.
"You burned down an entire floor of my building. No one wanted to live in my apartment in the first place, and now there are no more tenants left after what you did! Pay me 30 million!"
That shabby house still costs 30 million. Are you going to work in a dungeon for the rest of your life?
Sheng Ju exerted a little force on his hands, lifted the kitchen knife, and stared at the landlord's neck.
There are very few living people in the dungeon, so the players will show no mercy when they attack. However, He Lizhou is worried that this will lead to confusion between reality and the dungeon over time, so he gently presses Sheng Ju's shoulder.
Sheng Ju finally came back to his senses, "...Zhou Zhou."
He knew that he had been impulsive just now, so he put away the kitchen knife obediently, and together with Peng Ningyu, he tilted his head to look elsewhere, so as not to be bothered by it.
He Lizhou had no intention of paying compensation. After all, they were in a strange dungeon, and Peng Ningyu set the fire in a desperate situation. As long as the seven-day period of the dungeon passed, they would be able to get out.
Perhaps the system noticed He Lizhou's plan and added a new rule, "The system has determined that there is a large loss in the dungeon. The player must pay off the loss before leaving the dungeon."
He Lizhou: ...
Lili crossed her arms, looked at the three of them with a smile, and invited them again, "Do you want to go?"
Peng Ningyu shook her head firmly, but just as she finished shaking her head, she saw He Lizhou and Sheng Ju, one nodded and the other patted his clothes, "Go."
Peng Ningyu: “……?”
Didn’t I say not to trust the NPC’s tricks?
He Lizhou looked back at Peng Ningyu and said, "It is true that we cannot trust NPCs easily, but if we want to find more clues, we can only take risks."
Peng Ningyu nodded, "Should I go?"
He Lizhou was about to refuse and leave Peng Ningyu with an easier task, but then he thought of something, "You have made great progress now and can avoid many death spots on your own. You should come with us."
Peng Ningyu immediately followed closely.
Lili smiled, and seemed to be in a good mood because she had attracted three people. "It won't be a loss. I have worked there for many years, otherwise I wouldn't have introduced it to you."
He Lizhou agreed to Lili for this reason. He saw that Lili really thought the job was good and really wanted to introduce the players there.
Lili thought for a moment and then gave the player some reassurance, "Don't worry, that shabby house is definitely not worth 30 million. I'll talk to the landlord and ask him to reduce the price for you. That way, your salary there will be enough for you to pay off your debts."
The place Lili was talking about was similar to an underground boxing ring. She was not lying when she told He Lizhou that the market there was the best. People here like to see that kind of extreme visual stimulation.
A seemingly weak and beautiful human being, and a notorious evil ghost.
This is a combination that can mobilize all their emotions.
Lili gently stroked Peng Ningyu's cheek and negotiated with the person in charge, "Look at this little sister, she has a pretty face. You don't have to go on stage. Just follow me and hold up the sign."
Peng Ningyu was held in Lili's arms and could only look up at He Lizhou and Sheng Ju with difficulty.
But when I looked at them, I found that the two men didn't listen to the conversation between Lili and the person in charge at all. They were looking around the place with full concentration.
Lili turned around and said, "Hey, what are you looking at? Turn your eyes back to me. You can't look around randomly."
He Lizhou turned around and said, "Let's take a look at the working environment first. Can we go back and discuss it?"
Lili was a little dissatisfied, "What are you discussing?"
The person in charge was optimistic about them and quickly agreed, "No problem, think about it carefully, the deadline is one day!"
Then, he approached He Lizhou mysteriously, almost whispering in his ear, "It's not the day you cycled through."
The person in charge withdrew his body, patted He Lizhou's shoulder with a smile, and said, "Think about it carefully and hurry up."
Long Yao also heard the two system broadcasts at the same time.
Although he was still in another time and space, if the 4th floor was lost, the time and space he was in would also be lost. When Long Yao looked down, he could see the rising smoke, but no one came to care. Long Yao knew with a quick guess that it was a mistake made by other players.
He laughed. That group of people were quite capable of causing trouble.
Long Yao raised his head and looked at the spirit tablets on the wall in front of him. In the middle was a woman's name, with "Liu Fengmaoli" written at the back. Next to it was the only unique tablet, and the name on it was Lili.
Apart from these two tablets, all the others were players. Long Yao even saw a few familiar names among them, who seemed to be famous figures in some big gangs.
I heard that he was missing a while ago, and it turns out he died in this copy.
Long Yao smiled without any surprise. Those people were so arrogant that it was normal for them to die.
He had his back to the door, but he could sense someone approaching. He looked up when the door opened, "Liu Fengmao, finally came out?"
This is a very chaotic copy. Liu Fengmao has gone crazy in order to resurrect his deceased wife. He is willing to sacrifice the lives of everyone in the villa in exchange for his deceased wife's soul. He even kills his deceased wife's best friend Lili, just for something that is impossible to happen.
Liu Fengmao's past was exposed, but he walked in calmly, looking at the tablet in the middle with nostalgia, and sighed, "My wife."
Long Yao was in no mood to listen to him reminiscing about the past. He stretched out his hand and gathered all the tablets on the wall. Only then did Liu Fengmao see that there was a net there, covering all his tablets together.
Long Yao tightened the net like he was reeling in a fishing line, picked up a net bag full of tablets, and threw them out of the window in front of Liu Fengmao.
I don't know when it was set up at the other end of the 4th floor. The net bag drew a semicircle in the air and was pulled back to the 4th floor by the other end and sank into the sea of fire.
He didn’t know if it was Long Yao’s illusion, but he always felt like he heard someone screaming.
Liu Fengmao was not in a hurry at all. He calmly watched Long Yao burn his hard work. "I knew it a long time ago. I can't save my wife, but I can't control my behavior."
If Sheng Ju was here, he would ask him why, but Long Yao obviously didn't have the time to do so. He didn't even look at Liu Fengmao and walked straight out the door.
Long Yao has seen through Liu Fengmao. Although the entire incident in the dungeon was caused by him, he doesn't have any powerful attacks. He can only fold a paper man. He has injuries on his body and hasn't attacked yet. It is estimated that he was severely injured by the group of players and couldn't perform any attacks.
The moment Long Yao walked out of the room, he heard a sound coming from behind him, a heavy sound of someone falling from a building.
Liu Fengmao ended this copy by committing suicide.
"Copy error, copy error, the system is re-judging, and the judgment is completed."
"The important characters in the dungeon have died, the clues have disappeared, the dungeon has ended prematurely, and all players will be teleported out of the dungeon soon."
Lili seemed to have noticed something, her eyes full of pity, "Okay, see you next time, I hope you can figure it out next time."
He Lizhou took one last look at Lili, and before either of them could see the emotions in the other's eyes, the copy had already been closed.
*
After leaving the dungeon, people usually return to the transfer hall of the corresponding level according to the number of dungeons they have cleared. However, Sheng Ju and Peng Ningyu are special cases and will follow He Lizhou back to the hotel.
After leaving the dungeon, Peng Ningyu felt much better. He chattered about what he encountered in the dungeon and patted his chest in fear.
He Lizhou listened to her with a smile and didn't preach much. Even if she made an obvious mistake, as long as Peng Ningyu realized it, He Lizhou would not blame her, but would only remind her to be careful.
Sheng Ju followed beside him, not knowing what he was looking at, his attention completely focused. If it weren't for the fact that there were only people from their hotel on this road, He Lizhou would have to divide his attention to look at this person who was multitasking.
Sheng Ju looked at it for a while, his brows relaxed, and he was in a good mood, "Boss Zhou Zhou, our hotel can be upgraded."
