Wooden Man
The wound was obviously caused by the cashier. They had fought with the cashier before and were very familiar with his techniques and breath. Even Lili didn't need to be asked to judge.
Peng Ningyu retreated behind He Lizhou, his expression gradually becoming serious, "Does this mean..."
This indicates that after the dungeon "Apartment" was destroyed, the NPCs inside were indeed dispersed to other dungeons.
He Lizhou's lips curled up slightly. Moreover, this also meant that the system no longer had the ability to create new NPCs.
Perhaps it was the gradual awakening of NPC consciousness, or perhaps it was some other reason. The system stopped creating NPCs, and naturally would not continue to generate copies. As long as all the current copies were eliminated...
He Lizhou lowered his eyes. Would the next result be a collapse of the system?
Lili walked up slowly and asked, "Isn't this Lao Kui's bug?"
She squatted down and pulled out a fat black bug from the player's body. She pinched the bug's body with disgust with her two nails, "It's getting fatter again."
She used a little force with her nails, and the bug turned into a pool of black water. Lili hurriedly wiped her hands, but was grabbed by the corner of her clothes by the female player, "...Please save him."
The female player saw Lili's casual movements and determined that she could deal with this kind of bug, so she grabbed the hem of her skirt tightly and refused to let go, "Please save him."
The woman was in her forties or fifties, but when faced with Lili, who looked only twenty years old, she knelt in front of Lili without any hesitation and begged earnestly.
Lili was startled: "But - he is dead."
The woman stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning. She did not react even when Lili took the opportunity to dodge the hem of her skirt from her hands. These words seemed to have shattered her dreams. Her eyes quickly dimmed and her face turned pale. Before anyone could react, she had already crashed into the pillar of the hall.
He Lizhou had never encountered such a thing before. He was stunned for a second before he immediately chased after her and grabbed the woman. However, he was half a step too late. The woman had already hit the pillar. Although He Lizhou pulled her and reduced the impact, she still fainted with her eyes rolled back.
Yang Wanhe followed and confirmed that the woman was still alive before asking He Lizhou to send her to the medical building for stay.
Peng Ningyu took half a step forward, ready to move the body away, only to find that it was a young boy who looked about the same age as Sheng Ju.
Peng Ningyu paused and couldn't help but sigh. This is the relationship between mother and son.
What else can a mother who has lost her son keep living? Outside, she may still have a big family, but in the infinite flow game, they depend on each other.
Peng Ningyu lowered her eyes, already having thought of the ending for that mother in her mind.
Sure enough, during dinner, Yang Wanhe talked about this incident. She put down her chopsticks and said, "Boss He reacted in time. Her collision did not cause fatal injuries."
He Lizhou was about to ask about the patient's condition, but he seemed to have guessed something and closed his mouth. Yang Wanhe also confirmed his guess, "The patient himself does not want to wake up again."
Sheng Ju rolled his eyes back and forth, glancing between He Lizhou and Yang Wanhe, and volunteered: "I can wake her up!"
As soon as Sheng Ju's suggestion came out, Ban Hefeng slapped him on the back of his head, "Nonsense."
After being patted by his master, Sheng Ju instantly became obedient, quietly stuffing his food into his mouth and no longer interrupting.
He Lizhou thought for a while and said, "Then let's live in the medical building. We don't need a bed."
Easier said than done.
Yang Wanhe complained in his heart that although they were in the game, the human body still needed to supplement basic nutrition. The female player had no consciousness and could not eat independently, so she needed to consume nutritional supplements. This was not as convenient as outside. It was not an easy task to prepare a nutritional supplement in the game.
He Lizhou saw Yang Wanhe's concerns and added, "There will naturally be a way to deal with the nutrient supplements. I have reached a cooperation agreement with the Void Trade Center, which will supply us with daily necessities and nutrient supplement raw materials on a regular basis every month."
You no longer have to search various dungeons for useful items like before.
After dinner, He Lizhou looked over the hotel's business performance as usual before going upstairs to the attic to rest. However, tonight he always felt that someone was watching him secretly.
A very familiar feeling.
This gaze that followed him like a shadow made He Lizhou feel as if he was back in the dungeon in an instant. This was the feeling when he was being monitored by monsters or bosses in the dungeon, with malicious and sticky gazes.
The presence of this gaze was so obvious that it was difficult for He Lizhou to ignore it. This gaze could not be from the person who had been monitoring him in the medical building a few days ago.
Although they were both under surveillance, that person's gaze was much more restrained, to the point where He Lizhou was unaware of it. However, this time, perhaps because he was very confident in his own strength, his gaze did not restrain at all, as if he was telling He Lizhou in a big way that he was coming.
He Lizhou did not sleep, so at three o'clock in the morning, he caught this...little wooden man who was malicious towards him?
When He Lizhou saw the familiar appearance, he immediately understood what was going on. This little wooden man was the spirit raised by the original owner who was replaced by He Lizhou in the copy "Role". When He Lizhou was discovered, all the wooden men in the room became restless. Fortunately, He Lizhou left there immediately.
Originally thinking that there would be no follow-up, he unexpectedly met him here again. He Lizhou remembered the wooden man Mandong who helped them in the copy. He brought Mandong out and gave him a name, but there was no response at all.
Thinking of Man Dong, He Lizhou's hand holding the little wooden man slightly relaxed. He no longer felt any danger from its ill will towards him. It was just a stupid little wooden man! It only came to harass him because its owner disappeared because of his appearance.
He Lizhou picked up the little wooden man and said, "Do you still remember that there was a very small wooden sculpture among you, and it followed me later?"
The little wooden man glared at He Lizhou: "I won't tell you!"
He Lizhou ignored the little wooden man's threatening gesture and said to himself, "Come to think of it, you are the first conscious little wooden man I have ever seen."
As if noticing the puzzled look of the little wooden man, He Lizhou explained: "Mandong - Oh, that's the little wooden man I brought out. He lost consciousness after leaving the dungeon. Alas, maybe his training is not enough. He is not as good as you."
After hearing this, the little wooden man raised his head and said, "Of course, my master said that I am the most spiritual little wooden man in the whole house!"
He Lizhou: "Oh? Really? But I see so many small wooden sculptures in your house, and many of them are much bigger than you. I can't even notice you when I look around."
The little wooden man stared at He Lizhou: "What do you know! You vulgar mortal! We are competing for merits! It is blessings! You shallow and ignorant human, you actually distinguish us by size!"
He Lizhou smiled and said, "I understand. So the reason why Man Dong has not woken up since he came out of the dungeon is that he does not have enough merit. As long as I do more good deeds in his name, I can wake him up, right?"
Faced with He Lizhou's smiling inquiry, the little wooden man also realized his gaffe and no longer got angry as playfully as before. Instead, he really looked like a small BOSS in the copy, with a terrifying aura.
It was a pity that he only had a few seconds of prestige before he was suppressed by He Lizhou again. "Whether you have merits or not remains to be determined. The probability that someone in the copy will guide you to do good things is simply one in ten thousand. You just stay here and wait for the test!"
The little wooden man became even more angry: "Don't you dare slander my master!"
He Lizhou then asked, "After I left, did your master not go back?"
Little Wooden Man: "You killed my master, how can my master come back?"
"What about the others?"
This time the little wooden man hesitated for a moment and tilted his head: "I won't tell you."
He Lizhou has successfully mastered the method of communicating with this little wooden man. He understands that this sentence means that those people have returned, so he wonders in his mind why only the owner of the little wooden man has not returned?
The system couldn't possibly forget to re-deploy, could it be that there was an error in the deployment, just like Lili? Was there no suitable NPC to replace her at that time?
He Lizhou suppressed the doubts in his heart. The little wooden man was obviously not a person who could come into contact with this core level. He Lizhou could only slowly discover the truth in the future.
What He Lizhou didn't expect was that the truth came to him the next day.
Yan Qian knocked on the door of the hotel and saw that it was He Lizhou who came out to greet him. He smiled modestly and said, "Hello, Boss He."
He Lizhou looked at this person inconspicuously and saw that he was not an ordinary guest, so he invited him in, "Hello."
Yan Qian took the lead in introducing himself: "My name is Yan Qian. Was there a spirit harassing you last night?"
He Lizhou uttered "ah" softly, and Yan Qian smiled again, "That's mine. The master he mentioned is me."
He Lizhou thought about it and took out the little wooden man. He Lizhou put the little wooden man in his chest pocket. The little wooden man started crying the moment he heard Yan Qian's voice. When He Lizhou finally let him out, he opened his hands and ran towards Yan Qian.
He was pulled out by He Lizhou.
The little wooden man wiped away his tears in a second, turned around and looked at He Lizhou angrily, but saw that the expressions of He Lizhou and his master Yan Qian were more serious than each other.
He Lizhou took back the hand holding the little wooden man, "I'm not using him to threaten you, I just want to confirm your identity again, what's wrong with you?"
Yan Qian sighed: "I didn't want to hide it from you. I was originally a player."
"I was originally a player with pretty good abilities, but even the most capable people can make mistakes. The dungeon 'Character' was the one I made a mistake in. I died in the dungeon, but I wasn't completely dead. I was summoned to the system space by the system, my memories were erased, and I was put into the dungeon as an NPC, the NPC you replaced."
"Your entrance suddenly woke me up, so I fled. Otherwise, in the original main storyline, I would have been the BOSS of your final stage. After I left the dungeon, I found that I was no longer a player, nor an NPC. I mixed in with the player group and stayed there for a long time."
"Until last night, I suddenly felt the breath of this little guy."
Yan Qian smiled and nodded at the little wooden man. "So I came out again and took him home."
