Elvia was standing on the other side of the room, as if prepared to hide there the next time there was a shake. She didn't say anything when she saw Zhou Zhou coming over.
Zhou Zhou walked up to him and said to him sincerely, "I'm sorry."
Alvia looked at him and said, "Why are you apologizing to me?"
"Everyone just told me that I shouldn't be soft-hearted when I meet someone like that. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that just now."
Until now, Zhou Zhou is still not angry about this matter, but he knows that he is just an NPC, and there are many things that he cannot figure out by himself. Everyone tells him that this thing is wrong, so he will learn from it and at least not make the same mistake again next time.
Alvia was not really angry, but just felt that Zhou Zhou was like a soft bun. He was like this in the last copy, so how could such a person be chosen to be an undercover and get close to him?
Seeing Zhou Zhou standing obediently in front of him, with a pair of big flickering eyes staring at him, as if to see if he was still angry, he couldn't express it even if he was angry.
"Yeah." Alvia responded lightly.
Zhou Zhou seemed to understand that the other party's response meant that he forgave him. He smiled with his eyes curved, but then remembered that he had not thanked the other party yet.
"Thank you for saving me just now." He seemed to have been saved by Al many times.
"Then how are you going to thank me?" Unexpectedly, Elvia actually climbed up the pole.
Zhou Zhou was stunned, lowered his head and thought hard for a while: "I'll treat you to a meal."
Alvia: ...Why do we always have to eat?
"I already had dinner last time."
Is it not possible? Zhou Zhou lowered his head and continued to think: "Then I'll invite you to the amusement park."
Playground? Alvi didn't expect that Zhou Zhou would want to go to the amusement park with him. Could it be that he wanted to go to the amusement park that he had been to alone before?
During this time in the game, Zhou Zhou had only been to a restaurant and an amusement park. As a result, when he treated others to a meal, he only thought of these two places. I really don't know how to describe it.
But it seemed like it would be nice for the two of them to go together. He had never been to an amusement park when he was a child, but he didn't expect that he would have to go to a virtual amusement park in the game now.
"Can."
Seeing that Elvia agreed, Zhou Zhou nodded and began to think about who else to invite. Shirley and Keli must go...
"What were you and Shirley talking about before the ghost appeared?" Alvia finally asked the question he had only heard half of before.
Zhou Zhou looked at Alvia and remembered the question he had asked Xia Yan. Al was lying to him!
"We were chatting." Zhou Zhou said vaguely. Because Al said that you can't fall in love before the age of 20. If people knew that he had already dated two people, they would definitely criticize him.
"Really?" After realizing that Zhou Zhou was evasive every time he lied, which was like telling others clearly that he was lying, Elvia did not continue asking. Since he was not telling the truth, she could just get more information from Shirley later.
Ten minutes had passed and the big ghost began to shake the house again. Alvia protected Zhou Zhou and did not let him go to the window again.
This time everyone had experience and no player was shaken out. Half an hour later, the shaking stopped and the three large ghosts slowly floated away.
It seems that it will not come back tonight. If you persist for half an hour, the ghost will stop shaking the house and leave directly.
Everyone was about to vomit from being shaken, and they sat or lay on the ground to rest.
I felt dizzy and my whole body was extremely uncomfortable.
After resting for a while, daybreak came.
It has been a day and a night since they entered the copy, and they still have two days to find an exit.
Xia Yan sat on the sofa on the first floor and said to everyone, "We'd better find an exit during the day."
Eddie was puzzled: "Aren't there still two days left? Why do we have to find it today?"
Xia Yan looked around at everyone: "When we came in, there were five teams with about thirty people, but now there are less than half left. The other team that left early is probably wiped out."
At this point, one of the two remaining members of the other team suddenly asked, "How do you know they were wiped out?"
Xia Yan didn't want to answer such a simple question, but if he didn't take the time to explain the reason to these people, problems might arise later, which would be really troublesome.
"Our first main task is to hatch the egg. After hatching, our second task is to follow the doll here and then return the doll to its owner. Everyone present has basically completed these two tasks."
Zhou Zhou turned his head and looked at the little yellow duck he placed on the chair. His task was not completed. The child forgot to take the doll.
Alvia also had the tin frog in his pocket. The person who came into his room was not a child, but Zeus. The guy said a few words and left, without even thinking about completing his own task.
Xia Yan continued, "If that team also hatched the egg, they should have followed the doll here, but it's been a day and there's no movement. And they can't get here, so they can't complete the second mission, so I think they should have been eliminated."
Indeed, no matter where they went, they should have received the same mission to arrive at this house after hatching the dolls, but the reality is that these people completely disappeared.
"Then why do we have to find it today?" Eddie asked again.
"Because there may be more than a dozen ghosts appearing outside tonight," Zhou Zhou said. Thinking about the scene and looking at my own small arms and legs, I wondered how I could catch those big ghosts.
More than a dozen!
Yes, each ghost corresponds to a dead player. There are only twelve of them left, which means there are more than a dozen ghosts. If they still haven’t found the exit tonight, they will face more than a dozen large ghosts shaking the house together. Can that be called shaking? With so many ghosts, they could probably push the house all over the floor, or throw it back and forth.
Just thinking about that scene makes me want to vomit.
Everyone suddenly became energized and determined to find a way out today!
Everyone was looking for clues everywhere in the house as if they were injected with chicken blood, and no one dared to be lazy.
The two players on a separate team stared at Zhou Zhou from time to time and complained in a low voice: "If he hadn't thrown Ake outside to feed the ghosts, we would have had an extra helper."
"Not only will it be an extra helper, but it will also be one less ghost," his companion echoed.
Although the two people didn't speak loudly, Zhou Zhou still heard it.
He walked towards the two men and stood in front of them looking at them.
When the two turned around, they saw Zhou Zhou standing very close to them and were almost startled: "What are you doing? Why are you standing so close to me all of a sudden?"
"I heard it."
"What did you hear?" one of them asked guiltily.
"I heard what you just said."
"So what if he heard it? We didn't say anything wrong. It's just a game. Why did you throw Ake out? That's so vicious."
Zhou Zhou frowned and looked at them, as if he was thinking about some important issue.
"Some people are just bullies. They clearly did something wrong, but they have to put the blame on others, thinking they did nothing wrong."
"And they will choose those who look easy to bully, like you."
"When I meet a powerful person, I don't even dare to fart. Ahem, sorry for the dirty talk. When I meet a powerful person, I don't even dare to breathe."
"There are too many people like this, so you have to be more powerful than him, or you can tell us and we will help you deal with him."
Thinking of what Shirley and the others had told him before, Zhou Zhou suddenly realized that these people were bullying the good and fearing the evil! It was clearly Al who threw the person down, but they didn't dare to look for Al, so they secretly blamed him because he looked easy to bully.
And he's not vicious.
"Heya." Zhou Zhou turned around and shouted.
Heya, who had been not far from Zhou Zhou, stepped forward immediately. With a stature of more than two meters, he was extremely intimidating, and his muscles made people feel intimidated.
"What's wrong?" Heya stood next to Zhou Zhou. Compared with Zhou Zhou, who had a slender figure and delicate face, Heya looked even taller and more ferocious.
Zhou Zhou pointed his finger and said, "They scolded me."
Depend on! This guy has no moral principles and even came to complain.
Heya immediately glared at the two of them. Having been a mercenary for many years, he looked very aggressive. "Shall we go over there and talk?"
The two men were immediately frightened like quails, standing in the corner trembling, not daring to say a word, which was completely different from their righteous demeanor when facing Zhou Zhou just now.
Wow, it turns out to be just as Shirley and the others said!
Zhou Zhou was shocked. People are so complicated.
Heya sneered, stretched out his big hand, and picked up the two people who were huddled in the corner. The two people immediately panicked and even shouted for help.
The only people present besides Zhou Zhou's team were the four members of the Sharp family. Shirley and the others didn't care what Heya was doing. They even felt very relieved when they saw Zhou Zhou making a complaint.
The people from the Sharp family were also busy looking for an exit. Except for Zhou Zhou, He Ya and another man with extraordinary skills, they looked down upon everyone else, and it didn't matter if there was one more or one less.
Even if the two players were really killed because of personal vendetta, having two more ghosts wouldn't really matter. After all, there were already more than a dozen of them, and two more would just make things a little more troublesome, that's all.
Zhou Zhou didn't think about doing anything to the two of them. He found that these two people were really the same as Shirley and the others said. He also knew that he must not show weakness when facing such people. He either asked others for help or be more aggressive himself.
Then let Heya put them down.
After that, the two of them searched alone and never dared to get close to Zhou Zhou again.
After searching for a whole morning, no clues were found. Xia Yan couldn't help but start to wonder if the clues were not in this house at all. However, the area outside was too vast, and even if everyone went out to search for three days, it would be impossible to find them.
Let everyone gather on the first floor again, Xia Yan prepared to let everyone look around the house again, after all, the exit might be outside the house.
Suddenly, there was a ding-dong sound in the house. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and found a group of dolls coming down the stairs. All the dolls looked familiar. They were all the ones that were returned to the children last night.
The little dolls lined up at the feet of the crowd. At the front was a doll. It seemed that this doll was hatched by one of the strong men, but the strong man had been eliminated.
"Let's play games together!" the doll suddenly spoke.
Looking at the group of dolls that were not even as tall as his legs, Eddie was not afraid. He said to the dolls as if he was coaxing a child, "Be good, play by yourselves, okay? The brothers and sisters still have things to do."
They were busy looking for a way out, so they had no time to play games with the dolls.
"If you don't play games, you will die." The doll looks cute, but the words it says are sinister.
And the group of dolls behind it also jumped and said in unison: "If you don't play games, you will die."
Some of the dolls here were hatched by the players present, and yesterday they all made animal sounds, just like Zhou Zhou’s fat duck which could only quack. The other animal dolls could also only imitate the sounds of animals. But today they all turned into children’s voices, and if you listened carefully, they had the same tone as the children who appeared under the bed last night.
Eddie: “…”
It seemed that they had no other choice but to play along.
The dolls led them to an open space outside the house and told them that the game they were playing was dodgeball.
Shirley immediately became alert: "Is it going to crush us to death?"
Keli: "Maybe, and if you don't play, you will die."
There are twelve players in total, on the same team. On the other side, twelve dolls also came out. Four of them were standing outside their field, and the rest were standing aside.
Eddie immediately shouted, "What are those four dolls outside doing? They can't be substitutes."
The doll nodded.
"It's not fair. We only have twelve of us. Why do you have substitutes?"
The doll blinked and said, "It's because there are only twelve of you."
Zhou Zhou looked at the dolls, suddenly turned around and ran into the house, picked up the little yellow duck that he had placed on the chair, and returned to the outside area.
He held up the little yellow duck in his hand and asked the doll, "Can it be our substitute?"
The doll seemed to have not expected that the player still had a doll in his hand. He was stunned for a moment, then he gathered head to head with the other dolls to discuss for a while before saying, "Okay."
After the doll finished speaking, the fat duck, which had been silent since last night, seemed to suddenly come alive, lowered its head and quacked at Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou seemed to understand and said to the duck: "Well, let's work hard together."
Then the duck was placed on the bench. At the same time, Alvia walked over and placed the tin frog in his pocket next to the duck.
Doll: Why is there more?
The game started, and the thing that made everyone nervous did not happen. The dolls seemed to be playing a real game, holding dodgeballs and playing with the players. Even if they were hit and eliminated, there was no punishment.
The players had the upper hand from the very beginning. Not to mention that Elvia and Heya had received training since childhood, the four people of the Sharp family were also no ordinary people. Although Zhou Zhou was in contact with it for the first time, his reaction ability was also very strong, and he seemed to be having a lot of fun, with a rosy face.
Although Shirley, Cole and Eddie are not as good as the Sharp family, they are also experts in playing games.
The dolls were eliminated one by one, but only two players were eliminated.
You know what, although this game is simple, it is quite interesting to play.
Eddie was having so much fun that he even dared to make faces at the doll opposite him: "I can't hit it, I can't hit it, you can't hit it."
“Bang!”
A salt fish flew over and hit Eddie right in the face.
Eddie squatted on the spot, covering his face and screaming. It seemed that he was hit quite hard.
"You're eliminated." The doll said to Eddie.
The salted fish that fell to the ground fluttered back to the other side of the field, looking at the players with a pair of dead fish eyes as if mocking them.
"Aren't you cheating? Only those who hit the ball are out. What's the matter with that salted fish flying over here, your player?" Shirley scolded.
Although the doll is small, it is unreasonable: "In our game, I have the final say. The doll can fly over and hit the players, but you can't come over. If you come over, you will be eliminated."
How can we play this? The dolls come over to hit the players, and after hitting them they are eliminated. The dolls can continue to return to the venue. I have never heard of such an unfair rule.
But now we are in a copy, the home turf of these dolls, and they have no say.
Eddie stood up angrily, with the red marks on his face very obvious: "Play! Just play with them."
Then he pulled Zhou Zhou aside and took out a piece of paper from somewhere: "Zhou Zhou, here you go!"
"What is this?" Zhou Zhou asked curiously after taking the paper.
"It's a flying charm. I spent a lot of money to buy this prop. There are only two of them. Stick this one on your fat duck and then beat it hard. Isn't it said that dolls can cross the field? It's not like we don't have dolls."
Eddie was obviously holding a grudge. There was actually no need to take out props at this moment. After all, they were just playing games, and they would not be eliminated from the copy if they lost. However, a salted fish hit Eddie in the air and caused him great damage.
You can hit me with a ball, but you can't insult me with salted fish! This revenge must be avenged!
Zhou Zhou looked at the paper over and over again. Although he had known for a long time that he could use points to buy props, he had never thought of buying them. It looked very interesting, so he decided to take a look next time.
I obediently stuck the paper on the little yellow duck. The white paper seemed to have melted into the duck's body, leaving no trace at all.
Eddie was left on the field due to an "injury", and Fat Duck replaced him.
He waved his hands outside the court: "Come on, smash them, smash them hard."
Zhou Zhou nodded while holding his little yellow duck.
This time it was Hea's turn to serve. He served with great force and speed. After serving, he immediately flew towards the salted fish lying on the ground opposite him. It seemed that he wanted to avenge Eddie.
The salted fish didn't move until the ball was about to approach it, then it suddenly jumped and just avoided the ball.
Just as it was falling, a yellow ball suddenly appeared in the field and hit the salted fish before it hit the ground.
The salted fish flew out of the field in a flash.
Then the yellow balloon with two small wings turned a corner before landing and flew back to the players' venue.
Salted fish: “…”
doll:"……"
The fat duck completed its mission and successfully eliminated a doll. He puffed out his chest and quacked at Zhou Zhou, looking very proud.
Eddie clapped his hands vigorously outside the stadium: "Good! Do it again."
Zhou Zhou was also a little dazed. He didn't expect the little yellow duck to be so powerful. He picked up the duck again and looked towards the opposite side.
The doll shouted in a childish voice: "You just cheated. It's a foul."
Eddie immediately refuted it, saying that it was clearly they who set the rule that dolls could cross the line, but now they were denying it.
"I can't afford to lose, I can't afford to lose!"
If the doll was a real person, its cheeks would probably be red with anger. It glared at Eddie who had been fanning the flames, and finally had to accept it, otherwise they would have cheated first.
Zhou Zhou held the duck and threw it out. Even though his strength was not great, because the duck had a flying talisman on it, it could even fly to the opponent's field, hit one and then fly to the other side to hit another, hit two yellows and fly back.
After several rounds, the players served first every time.
Before long, all the dolls were eliminated, but there were still many players.
I thought it was over, but the doll asked for another round, saying the same thing: if I didn't play, I would die.
And in the next round, the doll changed the dolls. It replaced several dolls with flying ones, so that the fat duck was no longer unique.
When playing dodgeball, a scene like this appeared. Not only the ball, but also various dolls were flying around in the field.
Players not only have to dodge the ball, but also the dolls flying from the opposite side.
The player wins the second and third rounds again because the little yellow duck is faster than all the opponent's dolls.
In the fourth round, the flying symbol failed and the player lost.
Game 5…
Game 6…
In the end, the players were exhausted and out of breath, the dolls became dirty, and several of them even had missing arms and legs.
Only then did the dolls finish the game and line up again to return to the house.
The players also returned to the house and sat down to rest.
"When do we start looking for clues?" Eddie asked, panting.
Zhou Zhou wasn't tired at all, but Shirley and the others were panting heavily. He immediately remembered that he was an NPC and couldn't show any abnormality, so he also panted and replied, "No, don't look for it."
"Why, have you found any clues?" Eddie asked.
"Because, because it's almost night." Zhou Zhou pointed at the clock and said breathlessly.
Several people also looked towards the clock and found that it was really almost night. Then they realized the trick of the dolls. It turned out that they were just delaying time and consuming the players' physical strength.
Now I'm in trouble. Not only have I found no clues, but I'm running out of energy. Moreover, a large number of ghosts are approaching...
