The fourth copy
There was only a cobblestone path leading to the villa, which was already very difficult to walk on. And it started raining when Du Ming was halfway through his walk.
The gloomy sky was filled with thunderclouds, and the villa was built on the edge of a cliff. Just looking at the atmosphere gave people the feeling of walking into a horror movie.
Du Ming knocked on the villa door amidst the thunder.
With a heavy creak, the door opened. Inside was a huge living room. To Du Ming's surprise, he found quite a few people inside.
You notice there are a lot of people inside, but to maintain a sense of mystery, you simply nod and walk over to talk to the hostess.
It was originally said that most of the copies of the Monster Archives only needed to follow the plot narration, so even though Du Ming felt a little strange about the large number of people, he didn't take it to heart. He glanced at everyone and just nodded.
The hostess was wearing bright pajamas, with a pretty face and a nice figure. Unfortunately, she was crying for some reason, and there was a man in a white coat beside her, whispering something to comfort her.
It must be the family doctor, Du Ming thought.
"Madam, I am the family doctor hired by the master, and I am here to see him." Du Ming took off his hat and bowed.
The weak and harmless woman was stunned on the spot, her big, watery eyes showing a trace of confusion. "Another family doctor?"
Again...?
Du Ming felt a little strange and asked, "Have many family doctors come here?"
The woman pointed at the group of people sitting in the living room and said, "These are all them." There were eight people in total.
How can there be so many!
Thinking of a certain possibility, a chill appeared in his eyes. He said to the hostess, "Then I will go and check on the master first. Which room does he live in?"
The hostess called the housekeeper over and said, "Jie, take this..."
"Oh, by the way, what's your last name?"
"My surname is Mu, and my name is Tutu, Madam." Du Ming replied.
"What a strange name..." the woman muttered, "Butler, take this Doctor Mu upstairs to see the master."
"Yes, ma'am." Jie took the order and left. "Please come this way."
Du Ming followed the housekeeper upstairs, and his figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight. He did not hear the voices of the people sitting in the living room whispering behind him.
"Why is there one more?"
"Yeah, how come there is one more!"
The master slept in the master bedroom, which was at the end of the corridor. Du Ming's mind was not here all the way.
He wondered what identity Cassia would appear in.
I saw the master lying on the bed in burgundy pajamas. His face was obviously pale and his lips were pale. He looked haggard just by looking at him.
"Doctor Mu, I'll take you here." The butler tactfully retreated.
After everyone left, Du Ming walked to the bedside and said softly, "It's me."
As a result, the man opened his eyes, and his watery blue eyes moved around Du Ming, as if he didn't recognize him.
"Who are you?"
There was a look of complete strangeness in those clear eyes. Du Ming frowned and suddenly realized that this was not the Cassia he knew.
Then he put on a concerned expression and said, "Master, I am the doctor Mu you hired." As he spoke, he took out a small card from his pocket.
The bright brown shadow on the card flashed in the dim room. The master blinked quickly and understood instantly.
"Oh, it's Doctor Mu. Could you please help me take a look at my illness?"
Hearing this, Du Ming, the fake doctor, had no choice but to hold the master's hand. After pretending to touch it, he said, "I need to take another look at your illness."
As the two shook hands, a note was stuffed into the other's hand.
Du Ming opened it and saw some prescriptions written on it.
I thought the preparations were quite complete.
After memorizing the prescription completely, Du Ming lit the paper with a lighter and placed it in the ashtray.
The yellowed paper caught fire at the slightest touch and turned into a black ash in an instant.
There was a knock on the door, and at the same time a woman's voice sounded: "How are you, sir?" Then the lady pushed the door open and walked in.
"Why does it smell like fire?"
Du Ming calmly pulled out a pack of incense from his bag, sprinkled it on the black ash, and lit it. Then he stood up and explained, "It's like this, madam. I've discovered that one of the reasons for the master's poor health is poor sleep."
"So I burned some incense ash to help me sleep."
"So that's how it is." The lady nodded. "In that case, we won't disturb the master's rest."
As he said this, he signaled Du Ming with his eyes, and the latter followed him out tactfully.
After walking out of the door, the woman made sure that the people inside couldn't hear her. Then her expression changed, with a hint of indifference and a bit of condescension. "Tell me, what's wrong with the master?"
Du Ming briefly explained the contents of the paper.
The woman looked at him suspiciously, but she believed him a little in her heart. "In that case, Doctor Mu, please stay. Remember to take good care of the master." As soon as she finished speaking, she twisted her waist and went downstairs.
Du Ming replied from behind: "Okay, ma'am."
*
His room was the second to last on the second floor, and the people living next door were all doctors who came this time.
That’s right, the eight people Du Ming met in the living room were all doctors, but except for him, the others came from the same batch.
Someone who is hired alone: "..."
No wonder the woman looked at him so strangely.
But the eight doctors downstairs were also very puzzled. The prescription given to him by the master clearly stated symptoms such as confusion, insomnia, nightmares, and gastrointestinal discomfort.
This illness seems quite serious if you put it in a big way, but if you put it in a small way, it's actually nothing serious. Is it really necessary to have eight doctors? And this is when you already have a family doctor.
Unless... unless those people aren't real doctors.
If my wife is having an affair with the family doctor and is afraid that she cannot defeat the helpers we hire, it would be too much trouble.
It's really strange no matter how you think about it.
Du Ming was puzzled here, and the other eight people were also worried.
In order to avoid causing further confusion in the plot, the eight people are now gathered together to discuss policies.
The villa wasn't small, and it couldn't withstand being divided into a dozen rooms. Apart from the master and mistress's bedrooms, the remaining rooms were relatively small. Eight people squeezed together, to be honest, it was really crowded.
One person sat on the bed and whispered to the others, "Why is there one more person?"
The remaining few people looked at each other, and no one could explain what was going on.
In fact, this place was a monster game dungeon. They were all players who came to participate in this dungeon. Before arriving at the villa, they didn't know each other. The only information they knew was that this was an eight-player cooperative dungeon.
An eight-player cooperative dungeon, as the name suggests, is a dungeon where eight players work together to complete the dungeon. Generally, the players in such dungeons have the same identities.
So after entering the villa, everyone confirmed their identities and learned that they were invited monster cleaners, but on the surface they were all doctors.
More importantly, the note on the invitation letter only mentioned the owner of the villa, but it was not clear who it was.
Of course, at the beginning they assumed that they were invited by the lady, after all, it was she who entertained them as soon as they entered the door.
But now they are not sure.
In addition to the eight people, another doctor arrived, following the correct procedure. He first came in through the main door and went to see the wife, then went upstairs to check on the master's condition, and finally gave an initial diagnosis and successfully admitted him.
"Maybe it's just an NPC." Someone concluded nonchalantly.
Someone immediately retorted, "Impossible." The speaker was a square-faced man who looked very serious.
"Brother Li, what's wrong? Do you have any inside information?" A person who knew the man immediately joined in the conversation.
The man called Brother Li didn't say anything, but just looked at everyone in the room with suspicion.
Of course he had inside information, and he spent a lot of money to get it from other bigwigs.
In fact, the real name of this copy is The Cuckolded Master and His Cruel Wife. The main characters are the villa owner, his wife and the family doctor. Even the housekeeper is just a tool.
Therefore, there are no other characters at all.
However, it would be too arbitrary to conclude that the so-called Doctor Wood was a dungeon destroyer. After all, it's not uncommon for players to enter the same dungeon in different batches.
Besides, Doctor Mu didn’t arrive much later than them.
All sorts of thoughts flashed through Li Ge's mind, but he still didn't dare to come to a conclusion. Finally, he said to the man who had spoken to him, "Xiao Cao, you're the smartest. You can try to get some information from him when the time comes."
The person being called nodded, and the others also felt a little strange.
The smarter ones immediately spotted the blind spot and quietly distanced themselves from the others. The dumber ones didn't understand the situation but tactfully chose to remain silent.
Most of the people present were old players, and their thoughts were different.
In the end, the gathering was skipped over by a few people with a laugh, leaving Xiao Cao alone in Li Ge's room.
After the others left, Xiao Cao gently closed the door and walked lightly to Brother Li. "Brother Li, what do you think?"
"There is a dungeon destroyer among us." Li Ge said with certainty, causing Xiao Cao to hold his breath.
Instance destroyers is a new name for a group of people that has become popular recently.
This group of people specializes in disrupting existing dungeon progress, and they also enjoy stealing other people's resources, even resorting to any means necessary to achieve their goals. Whenever a dungeon saboteur appears, the dungeon he's in becomes extremely dangerous, and even potentially life-threatening.
Therefore, ordinary players are extremely disgusted with this group of people, while big players hope to catch them and take advantage of them.
Xiao Caoyuan wasn't a big shot, so he hated the dungeon destroyer deeply. He couldn't help but curse angrily, "Damn dungeon destroyer, why did you choose this dungeon for no reason?"
After saying that, he turned to look at his backbone: "Then what should we do, Brother Li?"
A sinister expression appeared on Li Ge's face. "Find him! Kill him!"
