Keli even suspected that he had seen it wrong, and opened his eyes wide to look at the cat's eye again.
However, the man outside who was looking at him with a faint smile really looked exactly like him, even down to the details of his clothes. If the other person's position and movements were not different from his, he would even think he was looking in a mirror.
A sense of weirdness arose spontaneously, and Keli stared at the man outside in horror.
"Who is outside?" Shirley noticed that her brother was stiff all over, as if he had seen something incredible.
"Boom, boom, boom."
The knock on the door was very close, and the slow and powerful knocking seemed to knock on Keli's heart, making his chest tighten.
His throat seemed to be blocked by something, and Keli said obscurely: "The person outside looks exactly like me..."
Before I could say anything else, the task panel sent out another notification.
[Main Mission 2: Don’t let the sudden guests catch you. 】
The slightly playful words made the two immediately realize that the person outside the door was the visitor mentioned in the task panel.
"Boom, boom, boom."
There were knocks on the door three more times, but this time, after the knocks ended, the person outside did not pause like before, but started turning the doorknob.
The door handle inside the room was also shaken.
They had tried before, but the doorknob could not be turned and there was no keyhole. However, from the noise coming from outside, they could tell that the door could obviously be opened from the outside.
The two were suddenly startled and decided not to be caught by the other party!
Before he could react, the door was suddenly opened a crack, and the sunlight from the house passed through the crack, casting a clear streak of light on the face of the man standing outside. The light and shadow divided the man's face into two, looking very strange.
"Koli" tilted his head, his eyes locked on the two frightened people in the room, and said with a smile: "I'm coming in."
"Fuck, run!" Keli didn't expect the other party to move so quickly. It was no longer realistic to close the door to stop the other party from coming in.
They originally thought that the small house would be very convenient for them to find the key, but now, the room with an unobstructed view left them with nowhere to escape.
Shirley pulled Keli into the study, and the two of them pressed against the door. This was the only place where they could temporarily prevent the other from entering.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise from the study door. Unlike the polite knock on the door before, this time the other party was extremely violent, as if they were going to break in at the next moment.
"What should we do? This won't work. We don't have time to find the key." Keli realized the key point. They couldn't be caught by the other party, but running away like this was not a solution either. After all, the copy only gave twelve hours. If the other party kept chasing them, how would they have time to find the key?
"Fight with him? But we don't have any weapons." Shirley felt a vibration on her back, and the study door wouldn't hold out for long. Most of the points they accumulated were converted into interstellar coins, and there were hardly any decent items.
"There are two of us and one on the other side. With a one to two ratio, we can definitely hold out for a while. I have a way that should be able to delay us for a while." Keli said to Shirley.
“Bang! Bang!”
The visitor outside the study kicked extremely hard, and the study door was shaking as if it would fall down in the next second. Finally, the wooden door could not withstand such violent breaking method. Not only was it kicked with several cracks, but the two metal hinges on the door also kept falling off.
With the last impact, the door finally collapsed under the heavy weight.
"Keli" walked into the study room. In his opinion, the players inside had nowhere to escape and it would only take a few minutes to catch them.
However, the two players did not resist at the door, nor did they scream in panic when the door was broken.
When he looked at the two people in the room, suddenly a strong light shone in. Although it was daytime, the strong white light was still so bright that people could not look directly at it. Just as he turned his head to avoid the strong light, he felt a sharp pain in his legs.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Hit him!" Shirley shouted while holding the lighting tool.
At this time, Keli was holding a wooden stick in his hand. When the opponent's vision was blocked, he hit the opponent's legs hard. The unsuspecting visitor knelt on one knee. It was obvious that the force of this blow was not small.
Then, Keli hit his legs and arms hard several times.
Although the wooden stick could not defeat the opponent, as long as it could restrict the opponent's movements, it would be convenient for them to escape later, so Keli only attacked the joints of the hands and feet.
At the next blow, the stick was grasped by a hand with bruised veins, and it was obvious that the visitor was very angry at the surprise attack.
He turned his head to look at Keli, and his familiar eyes gradually turned red, looking very scary.
Keli tried several times to pull the stick out without success. Looking at the face that looked exactly like his and was now furious, he inexplicably felt a sense of fear.
Realizing that their battle had failed, Shirley looked at her brother still "looking at each other affectionately" and ran forward quickly, pulling Keli out and said, "What are you doing?"
The position of the visitors just happened to expose the study door, so the two of them quickly ran out of the door.
"Go outside!" The room was too small, there was no place to hide in the living room, and there were many broken hands in the bedroom, so they were not places to hide. Shirley found that the visitors did not close the door when they came in, so maybe they could hide outside.
Just as he ran to the door, the door that was open outwards seemed to have its own consciousness and closed with a snap.
The whole room became a closed space, and their limited range of activities was here.
The visitor in the study also came out.
His current appearance looks very different from Keli.
His peaceful face was now extremely ferocious, his eyes were bloodshot, and his severely injured limbs were bent unnaturally as he moved forward. To the astonishment of the two players, the visitor discovered that his limping leg slowed down his movements, and he was actually on all fours with his joints abnormally twisted. Both of them even heard the teeth-grinding creaking sound when the other bent his limbs.
The originally handsome "Koli" turned into a strange-looking alien. He stared at Shirley and Keli standing at the door, as if he was a giant spider staring at its prey, and pounced on them the next moment.
Very fast!
Both of them were about to cry with fear. As the other pounced on them, Shirley pushed Keli hard, allowing the two to run in different directions.
Shirley ran towards the kitchen, while Keli ran towards the living room.
The alien with twisted limbs stared at Keli and chased him without hesitation, obviously holding a grudge because of something that happened before.
"Help! He's chasing me!" Keli shouted in panic and ran around the dining table to avoid being caught.
After Shirley entered the kitchen, before she had time to close the door, she found that the monster didn't take her seriously at all and was only chasing Keli.
Although there is no danger for the time being, we cannot just sit there and watch Keli being chased. She ran into the kitchen and frantically opened each drawer, and actually found a weapon in the drawer.
A kitchen knife.
Shirley picked up a kitchen knife and ran to the kitchen door, shouting to Keli who was still circling the table, "Run over here!"
Keli was really about to cry. He was almost caught by the opponent several times. After circling around him a few times, the opponent lost his patience and jumped onto the table to try to intercept him. If he hadn't run fast, he would have been caught long ago.
Hearing his sister's voice, Keli immediately ran to the kitchen, and the moment he entered the kitchen, the other party followed closely.
Shirley's heart was pounding. She raised the kitchen knife in both hands, took a step forward the moment Keli ran into the kitchen, and then chopped hard at the alien that was following closely behind Keli.
At that moment, Keli, who was protected behind him, was extremely moved when he saw his sister's heroic figure.
"Zheng~"
The crisp sound of metal colliding was heard, and Shirley and Keli watched the scene in front of them in silence.
The imagined scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere, or the scene of the NPC disappearing immediately after being hit, none of them happened.
The other person caught the kitchen knife with one hand, holding the blade firmly with his palm facing upwards.
Looking at the two dumbfounded people, the alien smiled coldly: "The knife is not sharpened."
Shirley's lips trembled slightly: "It's over."
Keli looked at the other person desperately: "Please spare my life."
Soon, silence fell in the room.
The alien disappeared, and if it weren't for the tattered study door still lying pitifully on the ground, there would not even be any trace of his presence.
The two players also disappeared.
The only extra thing was two fish lying on the kitchen floor.
The two fish were about the same size, lying flat on the ground, with the same look of despair in their eyes.
Who would have thought that being caught by visitors would not result in immediate elimination, but would instead lead to being turned into a salted fish.
This is too bullying!
Time passed minute by minute, and the two fish lay on the floor, jumping from time to time to try to leave the kitchen to find the key, but they found it too difficult and could only continue to lie there obediently.
The sun was setting, the light in the house gradually dimmed, and the house was so quiet that it seemed as if no living thing existed.
After an unknown amount of time, the two fish on the kitchen floor turned back into human form.
Keli stood up cursing, checked the time and found that two hours had passed and there was not much time left.
But when he turned around and was about to tell Shirley to continue looking for the key, he found that Shirley, who had turned back into human form, was lying peacefully on the ground with her hands flat on her abdomen and her eyes closed.
Keli didn't understand: "What are you doing?"
Shirley continued to close her eyes: "I'm thinking."
? ? ?
"This must not be the replica designed by Zhou Zhou. We must have gone the wrong way."
Keli remained silent. The copy names would not be the same. Shirley was deceiving herself.
"No matter who designed it, let's clear it first. While you're lying here, you might find the second key."
Shirley opened her eyes, got up from the ground, and without saying anything else, went to look for the key silently.
Night was about to fall, and although the light in the room was dim, they had super-bright lighting tools that could blind people, so their vision was basically unobstructed.
On the surface, they searched the entire room, and then they started with the details, searching the floor and walls, leaving no suspicious place unchecked.
Shirley checked the few books placed in the study, then looked closely at the bookcase and desk, stroking and tapping them, and found that the sound of tapping at a certain place on the desk was different from that of other places.
She moved closer to the desk and knocked a few more times. The sound was not as crisp as that from other places, and was a little dull.
"Keli, come and see, I might have found it!"
Shirley called over to Keli, who was knocking on the wall left and right, and the two of them studied the table together. They couldn't see any problems with the color or gloss.
Keli took out the unsharpened kitchen knife. Although it couldn't even cut a carrot, it was still a piece of cake to destroy the tabletop.
When I scratched the paint on the table, I found that the problematic areas were filled with sawdust.
The two of them looked delighted, it seemed that it was indeed the key.
Before they could remove the sawdust underneath, there was another knock on the door.
The two of them froze for a moment, recalling the fear of becoming salted fish.
Why are you here again?
Keli suddenly remembered that the words "Visitors" were written on the task panel, which meant that there was more than one visitor.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Don't worry about the people outside, just get the key." Shirley urged. Anyway, no matter what they did, the other party could come in. The most important thing was to get the key first.
Keli quickened his movements and finally emptied the box of sawdust. However, there was no key underneath, but a piece of paper.
[The second key is in the visitor's body, please come on! 】
Shirley: “…”
Keli: “…”
Keli's hand holding the small piece of paper trembled slightly. He crumpled the small piece of paper into a ball, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Go get the key."
Shirley was also speechless, but she had a question: "What does it mean to be in the visitor's body?"
When the door opened, Shirley's question was answered. Standing outside the door was a light yellow stuffed bear about 20 centimeters tall. Its cute appearance and furry appearance made the two of them let down their guard.
So the key is inside the bear doll?
The two looked at each other and felt that this visitor did not look scary, so it should be easy to get the key.
But when they saw clearly the silver-white knife in the little bear's hand, their expressions cracked a little.
Under the strong lighting, the little bear's eyes reflected two red rays like rays. It held up the knife on its short, round paws and said in a muffled voice, "Anyone touched by the knife will turn into various objects."
The silver knife sparkled brightly under the light, but Shirley and Keli couldn't smile at all when they looked at the small knife.
Three minutes later.
Shirley sat on the ground, gasping for breath, holding the hard-earned key tightly in her hand.
The little bear looked chubby, but he was very agile in his movements, and most of the time he was even chasing after the two of them.
But the two worked together, even after sacrificing Keli, and finally kicked the knife away, grabbed the bear, and took the key out of the zipper on its back.
The moment he kicked the dinner knife away, Keli turned into a chair.
The little bear whose key was taken away disappeared on the spot, and the table knife disappeared with it.
Shirley, who survived the disaster, sat on the floor, looking at the chair next to her with a complicated look.
The brown bamboo chair stood there quietly, blending in harmoniously with the entire room's color scheme, as if it had always been there, with no trace of human presence at all.
Shirley sniffed and felt like crying again. Now she was alone.
"Brother~"
Shirley looked at the bamboo chair with tears in her eyes. Now that Keli has become like this, can he recover, or has he been eliminated?
Before, when it turned into a salted fish, at least it was a living thing. Now, it is not even a living thing.
Shirley sniffed and moved closer to the bamboo chair. She wanted to check whether Keli could be saved.
When she was about ten centimeters away from the bamboo chair, two eyes suddenly appeared on the peaceful bamboo chair.
The two eyes on the back of the chair blinked confusedly, and then met Shirley's eyes.
Shirley:! ! !
"Ahhhhhh! Ghost!"
A pair of eyes grew on the bamboo chair that was very close to her, which brought a great visual impact. If Shirley hadn't remembered that this was the chair that Keli had turned into, she would have kicked it over.
Hiding far away by the window, Shirley really cried as she looked at those vivid eyes.
After all, she and Keli are siblings. After the initial visual shock, she quickly recognized that these eyes belonged to Keli.
Why did only the eyes recover after turning into a chair? It looks so scary. Even if it was her brother, it was still really scary.
"Koli?" Shirley asked tentatively.
The pair of eyes on the bamboo chair blinked excitedly. Keli was still conscious. Although only his eyes could move, this also meant that he was not eliminated.
Shirley silently took a step back. She might need to slow down a bit before she could accept Keli's current appearance.
This is just a game. The person in front of me is my brother. We have to help each other and overcome the levels together... After muttering to herself for a long time and preparing herself mentally, Shirley approached the bamboo chair with human eyes again.
Apart from the great visual impact, you may get used to it after watching it for a while.
Shirley slowly put her mind at ease, but just looking at her brother's current appearance, she didn't know how long it would take for him to recover. If she cannot recover, then in the remaining time, she must find the last key by herself, and then go out of the escape exit with Ke·Zhutengyi·Li. This should be considered a successful clearance for both of them.
Shirley made up her mind and started looking for the key everywhere. Before she had searched for long, she suddenly heard Keli's voice coming from the bamboo chair.
"I can speak now, haha, I can finally speak."
Shirley looked back and found that there was a mouth under the two eyes of the bamboo chair, which was opening and closing to speak.
Shirley closed her eyes: ...It looks even scarier.
Keli had no idea what his sister was thinking. Being trapped in a chair and unable to move was extremely uncomfortable.
And now he can feel that he is slowly recovering. At this rate, he should be able to return to human form soon.
Shirley continued to look for the key everywhere, and Keli, who was unable to move, could only help by speaking out.
"Look there, and there, behind you, the place behind you, don't go, we haven't found it yet."
Shirley took a deep breath and lay on the ground to look under the sofa.
"It's too dark down there. Lift up the sofa and look around. Or take it apart. Maybe the key is hidden inside. And... Hey, what are you doing?"
After moving the bamboo rattan chair into the study, Shirley felt that the whole world became quiet.
"Squeak... squeak..." A strange friction sound came from the study.
After a while, the bamboo chair came out by itself. Keli was indeed recovering. The four legs of the chair could actually move. He slowly moved himself out and faced Shirley, who had an expressionless face, wanting to give her a lesson as an elder brother.
As a result, Shirley moved him into the study again and this time closed the door.
As Keli gradually recovered, he loudly educated his sister who was so cruel to him.
Shirley continued to look for the key amidst the mumbling in the background.
One key is in the bedroom, another key is found in the study and brought in by a visitor, and the last key is most likely in the living room or kitchen. These two places are the key points.
Two hours later, Keli finally regained his human form. Before he could be happy, there was another knock on the door...
"Boom, boom, boom."
The shock was evident on their faces. Are they kidding me? They actually came?
For the first batch of players in the [Warm House] dungeon, the pass rate was less than one-tenth, which was very tragic.
Keli and Shirley both ran out of time and failed to pass.
Sitting on a bench on the street in the Novice Village, two similar faces showed four parts of fear, three parts of suspicion, and three parts of confusion.
The two looked up at the sky without saying a word.
After an unknown amount of time, Shirley finally spoke up: "I think I may not be suitable for playing this game."
Keli: “I feel the same way.”
Shirley: "This instance is too difficult. I feel like I'm participating in a horror, suspense, mystery, adventure, battle, and battle royale game."
Keli added: "There is also role-playing." Transforming into salted fish, chair, teacup and so on.
"Is this really a replica designed by Zhou Zhou?"
"It seems so, isn't it?"
"Why are we doing this dungeon?" Just after coming out of the dungeon, Shirley felt that her mind was a mess, her reactions were much slower, and it took her a long time to remember anything.
Keli didn't know either. He was thinking back to what happened before entering the dungeon.
"It seems like he wants to show support for Zhou Zhou."
Shirley: “…”
Keli: “…”
"Alas~"
Neither of them wanted to recall what happened in the copy.
Not to mention the terrible things like becoming salted fish and various furniture, the visitors who followed were really speechless.
The third visitor was a puppy. When Shirley saw the puppy for the first time, she was even attracted by its watery eyes and big ears.
However, when the dog came in from outside, they found that the cute appearance was just an appearance. This cute little dog, which was only about twenty centimeters tall, was actually more than one meter long, and its body proportions were seriously disproportionate.
When the door was closed, it was revealed that the puppy, which looked very long, had grown three heads, and each mouth was full of sharp teeth.
This is clearly a hellhound! The ferocious fangs and sharp claws made it impossible for either of them to escape this time. Each of them was bitten by the hellhound and turned into two teacups.
The hellhound completed its mission and left, leaving behind two teacups, one red and one white, quietly waiting for time to pass on the ground.
Two hours later, he regained his human form.
The successive blows did not make the two lose their fighting spirit. Although there was little time left, they still tenaciously found the last key.
When they mustered up the courage to go to the bedroom to retrieve the first key, they found that the key was not in the lock.
Originally thinking that the severed hands had taken the keys away, the two men overcame their fear, stamped their feet, and screamed while picking out the severed hands one by one to look for the keys, but they couldn't find them after searching the entire bedroom.
At the last moment, they finally saw the key hanging on the bedroom light fixture.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The twelve-hour limit had already expired. They watched the fruits of victory slip away from their eyes and were teleported away.
It would be better to be eliminated from the beginning.
Obviously, this copy was the shortest of all the copies they had experienced, but the two of them were extremely tired. Both their physical and mental strength had been completely exhausted.
It was just exhausting, both physically and mentally.
After the two were resurrected, they sat on the bench in silence. Although there was enough time left to do another copy, neither of them moved.
The breeze blew by, but the two remained motionless, like two human-shaped stones placed on a bench. Players passing by looked back from time to time, wondering what the two players were doing.
After an unknown amount of time, the two people's task panels kept ringing.
Originally, they didn't intend to pay attention to it, and wanted to think about life here, but the message reminder set above was the highest priority, and this reminder would only appear when a few of the best friends sent messages.
Keli slowly opened the task panel and found that it was a message from Zhou Zhou.
He saw Shirley and Keli in the backstage who had also entered the copy he designed, so he wanted to ask them to come over and experience it for themselves.
The two read the message in silence, staring at the "oh" at the end of the sentence in silence. In the past, when such a word appeared, they might think it was cute, but now, thinking of the text content prompted in the copy and the little note, this word became particularly hateful.
Shirley took a deep breath and asked Keli sincerely, "Can we go and beat up Zhou Zhou now?"
Ke Li did not hesitate: "I think so."
The two of them immediately became alert and headed towards the address given by Zhou Zhou.
After Zhou Zhou sent the message, he said to Alvia who was sitting on the sofa: "I called Keli and Shirley over. The suggestions you gave are totally useless. I want to listen to their suggestions."
During the test, Elvia gave only one piece of advice: never let others know that you are Zhou Zhou, otherwise you will easily get beaten.
This was not really a suggestion at all and Zhou Zhou had no way of adopting it, as both the Resentful Woman and Locke had said that his copy was well designed.
However, coincidentally, Keli and Shirley were the first players to participate. Zhou Zhou really wanted to know what they thought about the copy.
When Zhou Zhou opened the door to welcome them, the two men, who were originally aggressive, gasped and took a few steps back after seeing the interior of the house.
The two of them moved in unison, as if they had seen something incredible.
Zhou Zhou looked into the room in confusion, following their gaze. Apart from Elvia sitting on the sofa, there didn't seem to be anything worth being surprised about.
Shirley and Keli looked at the familiar room structure and decoration and thought they had not yet come out of the copy.
Why is this place exactly the same as the copy scene? Are they hallucinating?
For convenience, Zhou Zhou used his own home as a copy template:? ? ?
The author has something to say:
