The third copy
The other side.
Cassia returned to the abyss.
All the deputies stood below, not daring to make a sound.
"Everyone, send your men to check all the copy cores immediately and report any problems," Cassia ordered.
"yes."
Under Cassia's anger, the deputies acted very efficiently and reported the information of all the copies in less than three days.
The devil looked at the results reported and felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
He beckoned his first deputy over and said, "Rui Qi, can you tell me why so many replica cores are damaged in the area under your jurisdiction?"
Of course, Cassia couldn't let everyone check the copy under their jurisdiction, so he checked them in turn.
First mate Ruiqi smiled indifferently, stepped forward and attacked fiercely.
A black shadow rushed straight towards Cassia's face. He subconsciously used his magic power, but his arm was still cut by the black shadow.
Black air wrapped around his arm and thick blood flowed down.
Cassia recognized this thing at the first moment, "Ice Beast Fang!" He never thought that Ruiqi would choose to attack first and take out the only weapon that could hurt him.
It is obvious that the other party has been preparing for a long time.
Ruiqi, who was injured by the evil energy emitted by Cassia's counterattack, spat out a mouthful of blood and said with a smile: "You are destined to die." As soon as he finished speaking, he died.
Cassia put on a gloomy face and activated the Abyss's full alert mode.
Unfortunately, even so, his injuries showed signs of collapse after a few days.
The training ground of the Brave Legion.
As soon as Du Ming walked out, he ran into the commander of the legion. Judging from his attitude, it was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.
It's a shame to say that Du Ming has been in the Brave Legion for so long, and even if it was not his intention, he still caused a lot of trouble to the legion, but the other party still understood him and even lent him the training ground.
Du Ming felt deeply sorry for this and told the other party all the information he had obtained.
"Captain Qi, are you looking for me?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Qiang didn't say much, but handed the thing in his hand to Du Ming, "This is something the NPC gave her when our group came out today. She said that if you have time, you can take this to the game hall."
That thing was nothing else but a feather. It had a messy color and even looked a bit ugly, but Du Ming felt that it was particularly familiar.
Cassia...
As if sensing that the other party was in trouble, Du Ming, after making all the preparations, brought the feather to the game hall and placed it on the table.
After a strange ripple, a sentence suddenly appeared on the page.
[Do you choose to enter the dungeon - Monster Archives, yes or no?]
Monster Archives?
Although he didn't know why the other party wanted him to enter this copy, Du Ming still asked the Brave Legion for information about the "Monster Archives".
According to the information obtained from the Legion, the 'Monster Archives' is a collective dungeon different from other dungeons. The main reason is that the 'Monster Archives' contains countless archives, and some of the archives will form a separate small dungeon.
These small copies combined together eventually turned the 'Monster Archives' into something similar to a post station.
It seems that this 'Monster Archives' is something special... Du Ming thought.
After that, they began to make preparations. After hearing that Du Ming wanted to enter this copy, Qi Qiang also gathered a group of members to prepare to enter together.
When Du Ming heard the news, he was filled with questions: "???"
Qi Qiang smiled and said, "Don't think too much. It just so happens that several major families have been making big moves recently for some reason, so I want the members to go in and hide." As he spoke, a trace of worry appeared on his face.
Although Du Ming hadn't left the training grounds in recent days, he had heard about this. It seemed that ever since he emerged from the last dungeon, the real world had begun to fall into chaos.
It is not difficult to wonder whether this is related to Ba Feng and others.
Time was running out, so the two of them stopped talking and headed to the game hall together. In a flash of light, everyone entered the dungeon.
The 'Monster Archives' is worthy of its name as a post station, and there are a lot of people inside.
In front of everyone there was a huge circle of bookshelves, and many people were choosing books in front of the bookshelves.
As soon as Du Ming stepped in, he felt that the atmosphere was not right.
How can I describe this feeling? It's like someone is observing you subtly, with an uncomfortable gaze, as if they want to strip you naked.
Du Ming pretended to be indifferent and stroked the rows of bookshelves with his fingertips, feeling its scent. Finally, he felt a scent similar to that of a feather in a certain book.
Before Du Ming could react, a transparent frame popped up in front of him.
[Do you choose to enter the archive - the innocent beauty has a husband after losing her memory, yes or no?]
【yes. 】
Everything went dark before his eyes, and when he opened them again, Du Ming had seen a different scene.
At this moment, he was standing in a dilapidated corridor with mottled walls and light bulbs covered with cobwebs.
He stood in the corridor and looked over the railing, and saw that the outer wall was covered with emerald green ivy.
This seems to be a dilapidated old neighborhood?
As soon as this thought crossed Du Ming's mind, he heard the narration of the plot.
You are a single woman, without parents or siblings to rely on, so you came to this city to live alone. Unfortunately, the cost of living in a big city is too high, so you can only choose to live in this dilapidated old neighborhood.
It seems to be a character introduction?
Du Ming learned from the Brave Legion that the Monster Archives contained archival stories about monsters.
All players who enter the archive have to do is follow the normal plot, play their roles well and survive to the end, thus successfully completing the game.
The problem is... a woman living alone? Isn't this a bit outrageous?
Du Ming glanced down.
Well...it's okay, it's my own body.
So what's the plot now?
Just as he was wondering, the door on his left opened and a line of words appeared in front of him.
【You just got the keys from the landlord today. 】
The sound of keys falling into the pocket was heard automatically, and Du Ming clearly felt a slight weight in his left pocket. He glanced at the door and walked in.
As expected, just like the neighborhood, the house isn't very big, with just a kitchen, a bathroom, and a bedroom. If you want to hang clothes out to dry, you can either go to the hallway or hang them out the bathroom window, which is perfect for living alone.
Du Ming doesn't care much about his living environment.
After looking around the room, he found that the only furniture inside was a bed, a set of tables and chairs, and simple kitchen utensils. What caught his attention was a mobile phone placed on the table.
Du Ming picked up his phone and briefly looked through the address book, only to find that there were only colleagues and no one else.
【There is company information inside.】
Then what?
Just when he was wondering if the plot was progressing a little slowly, the scene in front of him flashed by quickly like a cutscene in a game.
The sound of the wind can still be heard in my ears.
You've been feeling a bit tired lately, but the reason for your tiredness isn't because of your work. It's because you always feel like... somewhere there's a pair of eyes, a pair of malicious eyes, watching you.
Just as the narration of this plot was finished, Du Ming felt a chill on his back, as if there really was a pair of eyes behind him, watching him in secret.
Then the scene changed and he found himself in the middle of the road.
It was night time, and there was only one street lamp in front of him on the left. Everything else was pitch black, which was very scary.
Today is Friday, and you're getting ready to go home from work. But as soon as you set foot on the road, you feel that gaze again.
[You are being targeted by a monster! ]
What are you going to do?
Is the plot developing so fast right from the start?
Du Ming felt like he had just entered this dungeon for ten minutes. He had only checked the living area and listened to the introduction of the dungeon. He hadn't understood it thoroughly yet, so how come there was a killer move right from the start?
Was that feather really given to him by Cassia? Could it be a conspiracy by the Bafeng gang?
Despite the critical situation, Du Ming forced himself to calm down.
He looked around and finally found a trace on the cement ground along the road. It was an arrow that was slightly brighter than the surrounding environment.
Do you want to believe it?
Du Ming was extremely conflicted.
