Lan Ya came out of the room and walked towards the direction of the other three players.
"Can I help you clean up?" she asked, her head bowed.
One player looked behind Lan Ya and asked curiously, "Where are your companions?"
Lan Ya's face turned slightly red. Under the curious gazes of the others, she stammered, "They are in the room. Well, they have a special relationship. You know, I am a little embarrassed."
The remaining few people didn't know what was going on in their minds. They looked at Lan Ya with a hint of sympathy: "I understand, I understand. It's really not good for a little girl to stay there."
One more person on their side means more safety, which is naturally what the players want.
Lan Ya was holding a broom and sweeping the ground casually, slowly approaching the player they suspected while sweeping.
Unlike the other two players who were just slacking off, the other player was concentrating on wiping the wall. Facing Lan Ya who was getting closer and closer, he seemed not to notice her at all.
"Hello?" Lan Ya slowly walked behind him and started talking to him.
The player turned and nodded to Lan Ya: "Hello."
He looked very indifferent. After saying hello, he turned around and continued wiping the wall. He had no intention of continuing the conversation.
Lan Ya pursed her lips as she looked at the other person's back, and continued to chat with him, "Do you think we can pass the level smoothly? I don't know what the ghost in the castle looks like. I'm very timid, so I hope I don't encounter one."
Regardless of whether the other party responded or not, Lan Ya kept chattering behind him, and she would follow him wherever he was cleaning, just like a little tail.
The player seemed to be concentrating on cleaning and ignored Lan Ya, but he slowly moved away from the sight of the other two and moved to the innermost part of the corridor. Lan Ya pretended to be unaware and followed him.
After dusting the walls of the corridor, he turned around and said to Lan Ya helplessly: "Aren't you going to go find your teammates?"
Lan Ya blinked: "They said they would call me when they are better."
This sentence seemed to contain a lot of information. The player was silent for a moment, then pointed to the nearest room and said, "I'm going to clean the room, you..."
Before he finished speaking, Lan Ya immediately followed up: "I'll clean with you."
The other party nodded, said nothing more, and went into the room to continue cleaning.
He looks like an ordinary player who is honest and has poor speaking skills.
Lan Ya followed in without hesitation. It seemed that this player had no intention of concealing anything. The old housekeeper clearly said that the room where Zhou Zhou was and the corridor on the second floor would be cleaned, but did not say anything about cleaning other rooms. Did the other party think she was stupid?
But when she thought that she had to show this kind of image in order to make the other party let down their guard, Lan Ya felt relieved again.
The door of the room was closed. Lan Ya put one hand in her pocket and pinched the hovering talisman Zhou Zhou gave her, and asked, "What should I do now?"
The other party smiled, and his originally silent and cold expression became weird. He threw the rag on the table and said, "You don't have to do anything."
After saying that, the other person's face suddenly began to deform, just like the person who appeared in Zhou Zhou's room last night. His originally angular facial features gradually became blurred, and the whole face finally looked like a smooth boiled egg.
Although she had been prepared for a long time, Lan Ya still gasped when she saw such a situation. She didn't even have time to be afraid, she subconsciously picked up the stool next to her. In this copy, she did nothing but hold back. This cannot go on. Zhou Zhou and Ai'er are still waiting for her. She has to rise up and fight back!
The petite female player was shivering as she held the stool, the fear in her eyes almost overflowing. In the eyes of the other party, such an action was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, which was completely useless.
The player sneered and slowly moved forward, but unexpectedly, Lan Ya took the initiative to attack. She held a stool in both hands and rushed towards the opponent whose shape could no longer be seen.
The distance between the two of them was closing rapidly. When the other was about to devour Lan Ya, he found that he could not move and could only watch Lan Ya getting closer and closer...
When Zhou Zhou and Alvia came in, they only saw Lan Ya standing in the middle of the room gasping for breath, and the ground around her was covered with red fragments of unclear shape.
It was extremely tragic.
Even the two players who came in with them couldn't help but gasp when they saw this scene, and their eyes looked at Lan Ya with a hint of admiration.
This is a true warrior.
Seeing Zhou Zhou and Alvia come in, Lan Ya immediately dropped the stool: "I was scared to death."
The debris on the ground gradually became transparent. They originally planned to wait for Lan Ya to shout for help as a signal, and then rush in immediately. However, Lan Ya never made a sound. When they heard the noise in the room and came in, Lan Ya had actually solved the problem by herself.
"Lan Ya, you are so awesome." Zhou Zhou praised.
Lan Ya smiled shyly, but in fact her legs were still shaking, which was really scary.
After dealing with the unknown creatures, everyone was still scared. After all, these things can eat people and turn into the appearance of players. If Zhou Zhou hadn't reminded them, they might have continued to get along with each other without realizing it, and wouldn't know who was the fake until they were eliminated.
Now there are only five players left, and tomorrow is the final deadline. They need to stay here overnight to successfully pass the level.
Except for Zhou Zhou and Elvia, the other three were a little worried that those things would come to them at night. In the end, Zhou Zhou and another player provided some game props for self-defense, and the others felt at ease to enter the room alone.
That night, those strange things really appeared in the room of Elvia and one of the players. The other player used the props he had prepared long ago and successfully repelled the monsters; Elvia did not use the props. He was a little curious about what it was, so he caught it and "interrogated" it a little.
At the same time, Zhou Zhou, who was sleeping, also heard a slight noise coming from under his bed. The sound was very small, and if it weren't for his excellent hearing, he would probably have ignored it.
Zhou Zhou turned off the lights when he went to bed at night. The room was pitch black. He slowly sat up from the bed, scratched his face, and then looked down under the bed.
A human head rolled out.
It's Locke's head.
The two of them looked at each other in the darkness.
On the morning of the third day, Zhou Zhou came out of the room and saw Lan Ya waving at him.
Zhou Zhou: "What's wrong?"
Lan Ya: "I heard someone crying in Al's room last night, but the voice didn't sound like Al's, so I didn't go out to see. Do you think there was something strange that entered Al's room last night?"
"Just ask and you'll know." When the old butler knocked on Elvia's room door, Zhou Zhou looked inside curiously.
"What are you looking at?" Elvia asked, blocking Zhou Zhou's view inside.
"Were they here last night? Are you okay?"
Alvia: "It's not bad, and I also found out their identities from them. Do you want to hear it?"
Zhou Zhou immediately nodded obediently: "I want to listen."
The few people learned from Elvia that the ones who attacked them were not some strange non-human NPCs, but players, the players who disappeared after running upstairs before. They were not eliminated, but received another task to eliminate other players. Their ability to transform is the power provided by the system. The more players are eliminated, the higher the points they will get if they stay to the end.
Although it seems that they have new abilities and their overall strength is stronger than other players who have not received tasks, in fact their bodies are very fragile. Once they are attacked on the physical level, they will be eliminated.
Now it seems that all the players who received another task have been eliminated.
"Al, how did you know? I asked before, but got nothing out of it." Zhou Zhou was amazed. Could it be that the player Al met was easier to talk to?
Al smiled and said, "You want to know?"
Zhou Zhou nodded expectantly.
"secret."
Zhou Zhou: "... Humph, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me."
Today, Locke also came down from the top floor. He kept looking at Zhou Zhou with tears in his eyes, looking very reluctant to leave.
Zhou Zhou greeted Locke very familiarly and made an appointment to continue playing together later.
We've only met once, so why do we look like we've known each other for a long time? Alvia looked at the two people who were reluctant to part with each other with a suspicious look on her face.
Zhou Zhou chatted with Locke all night last night. Although the way he appeared was a little scary, Zhou Zhou was not afraid of it, so they had a very pleasant chat and became good friends in one night.
Zhou Zhou also memorized Locke's ID number and added him as a friend whenever he went out.
As the two were bidding farewell to each other, the task panel finally showed some movement after a long absence.
The three days were up and the five of them successfully passed the level.
Now that they had passed the level, it was time to leave. The old butler and Locke sent the five people to the door, but the two of them focused on greeting Zhou Zhou and Elvia. The others were clearly in front of them, but they didn't ask a single question, which was very hypocritical.
The two players smiled at each other, not thinking there was anything wrong. To them, being able to pass the level successfully was already a great fortune.
Lan Ya knew what she had done. She felt guilty facing the old butler and Locke. She wished she could become transparent and would be happy if the other party ignored her.
A group of people walked in the dark forest. The trees, flowers and plants on both sides seemed to be seeing them off, and automatically parted as they passed by.
Zhou Zhou was walking in front, and he couldn't wait to go back.
Elvia followed closely behind. Even though Zhou Zhou walked very fast, it was easy for him to keep up with that pace.
Lan Ya and two other players walked behind with lights on. They had no night vision and could only walk at their own pace.
The two players were chatting with Lan Ya. After seeing her "heroic" attitude, they both thought that Lan Ya must be a very brave and powerful player, and wanted to add her contact information so that they could do tasks together later.
Lan Ya refused with a wry smile. She knew very well how timid she was, so she decided not to harm these players.
The moment we walked out of the Dark Forest, the entire sky turned from dark to bright. After experiencing dim vision for several days in the dungeon, everyone felt very uncomfortable facing the sudden sunlight.
After gradually getting used to it, it was time to say goodbye. The other two players logged off and left. Lan Ya originally wanted to have a meal with them, but she found that Yue Ling had sent her many messages. She could only agree to treat them to a meal next time.
Zhou Zhou was in a hurry to go back and said goodbye to Elvia in a hurry. Then teleported back home immediately.
Zeus had been waiting at home for a long time, looking at Zhou Zhou who hurried in with eyes full of anticipation.
Zeus waved his hand proudly: "Zhou Zhou, come on, I'll take you to the real world to play."
