All the players present were placed in different rooms.
A strong man came to his senses and found himself lying on a small bed, which seemed to be a children's bed, with his legs almost hanging in the air.
"What's going on?"
The strong man sat up from the bed and found that he was the only one in the room; the other two companions were gone.
Just as he was about to get out of bed to look for other companions, one hand touched something on the bed.
He looked down and saw that next to him was the toy he had hatched earlier - a blonde doll with blue eyes.
God knows how he could hatch something like this.
The doll was lying on the bed with its eyes tightly closed as if it was asleep.
The sturdy man pulled the doll's hair with disgust and lifted it up. The doll's big glass-like eyes slowly opened and looked at the sturdy man with a smile.
This kind of doll is like this, its eyes are open when it stands, and they are closed when it lies down.
"What the hell is this place? Why is there teleportation?" the burly man said as he tried to get off the bed holding the doll.
A rustling sound came from under the bed, and the sturdy man paused: "Who is it?"
He leaned over slightly to look under the bed and found that the sheets were dragged on the ground and he could not see anything under the bed.
The room was very quiet. The strong man listened quietly and found that there was a sound of something crawling under the bed, rustling... rustling...
All the hairs on his body seemed to stand up. The strong man retracted his legs, huddled on the bed as if to build up his courage, and pounded the bed with his clenched fists.
The huge force made the bed creak, as if startled by the noise, and then there was no movement under the bed.
The sturdy man knew that the thing must still be there, because after the noise of the bed stopped, the sound came from under the bed again.
Rustle...
This won't work. He'll be scared to death before he even knows what it is.
The sturdy man took a deep breath, mustered up his courage and lifted up the bed sheet, waiting for the thing under the bed to come out by itself.
But after waiting for a long time, the crawling sound continued under the bed, and it seemed that there was no intention of it coming out.
Maybe the thing under the bed is also scared, the strong man thought, and then kept leaning his body outwards, trying to see what is under the bed in this way.
But there was nothing as far as the eye could see.
Or maybe somewhere further inside... The sturdy man hesitated for a long time, supported himself on the bed with one hand, half of his body leaned down, and stretched his head to look down.
There was nothing under the bed.
Oh, it was a false alarm.
The sturdy man breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the bed, sitting cross-legged.
But when he looked up, he saw a little girl standing beside the bed, staring at him.
"Fuck!"
The sturdy man shrank back suddenly, and only came to his senses when his back hit the wall. His heart was beating rapidly, obviously frightened by the sudden appearance of the child.
"Uncle?" The child was very cute, with golden hair, lake-green eyes, and chubby cheeks. He tilted his head and blinked at the strong man.
Perhaps because the child looked too cute, the strong man calmed down and asked in a harsh tone: "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
The little girl was not frightened by the fierce and ferocious man. She blinked her eyes and stretched out a white and tender little hand to the man: "Uncle, I'm here to find my good friends."
The clear voice of a child is very pleasant to the ear.
"Your friends are not here. Go away, look somewhere else." The sturdy man frowned and made a gesture to drive away, obviously feeling angry because he was scared by a little ghost.
The child stretched out his hand very persistently, and said in an innocent and cute tone: "Those dolls are my good friends."
Oh, it’s a doll.
Then the second main task is to find the owner of the doll. Does the owner refer to this child?
The sturdy man turned around and looked for the doll all over the bed, and finally found it under his butt. Because he was frightened by the little ghost, he accidentally sat on the doll when he was hiding back. As a result, the crudely made doll was flattened, its originally round face became deflated, and one of its eyes fell out.
The sturdy man was a little embarrassed. He pulled the doll's hair and handed it to the little girl. "Who told you to show up so suddenly just now? You can't blame me. Here is the doll."
The little girl took the doll, looked down at it for a while, and suddenly threw it to the ground. The doll, which was already in danger, was immediately shattered into pieces, with its head and arms scattered on the ground.
"I want my good friends." The smile disappeared from the little girl's face. Her green eyes stared at the burly man and she stretched out her hand again.
The sturdy man had already anticipated that something was wrong, or rather, he had already felt that something was wrong the moment the little girl suddenly appeared, but he just pretended not to know.
"Really, it's really gone. I don't have any other dolls here. You, you can go look for others." A strong man was actually frightened by a little girl whose height was not even as tall as his waist. His voice was trembling.
The little girl tilted her head expressionlessly and asked softly in a childish voice: "They are right here, right behind you, why don't you give them back to me?"
A chill ran up his back, and he turned his head stiffly, only to find a green frog lying on his shoulder, except that the frog's body was translucent. After looking at the man, the frog rolled its black eyes and even croaked at him.
“Aaaaaaah!”
The sturdy man suddenly stood up from the bed, jumping continuously, and even grabbed his shoulders with his hands, trying to get rid of the strange frog. The frog was thrown onto the bed, but along with it, several translucent dolls also fell off the bed, including a red little tiger, a blue fish, and a yellow little bear.
Several dolls fell on the bed and kept squirming trying to get up. The sturdy man had gone crazy. He stared at the dolls on the bed and kept stepping on them, trying to crush them all to death.
The little girl was still holding out her hands, and kept calling the strong man: "Uncle, uncle..."
The sturdy man could no longer hear the little girl's voice. He stepped on the translucent dolls one by one and found that as long as he stepped on them, these strange dolls would disappear like balloons with a pop.
After a few kicks, all the dolls on the bed finally disappeared. The strong man felt sweat all over and his clothes were wet.
"Uncle, uncle..." the little girl kept calling him.
The sturdy man was breathing heavily, and when he heard the little girl's voice, he slowly looked over.
The pupils suddenly contracted sharply. The face of the little girl in front of him was sunken. One of her eyes was gone, leaving only a dark hole. She looked at him with her other green eye and said as if crying, "Uncle, uncle, it hurts so much~"
“Aaaaaaah!”
The sturdy man's sanity collapsed in an instant. He screamed and jumped from the other side of the bed, trying to escape from the room.
The door of the room was tightly closed. The sturdy man turned the doorknob, opened it, and rushed out into the darkness.
He finally remembered that the egg crushed by the first companion who died was green, and the eggs crushed by the other one on the ground also corresponded to the colors of the dolls he stepped on to death in the house. If he had known earlier, he would have…
A huge translucent frog stood outside the door, suddenly closed its mouth, and hopped towards the outside. It became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a small translucent frog.
The little girl in the house and the broken doll on the ground also disappeared.
It's quiet here, as if nothing happened.
In another room, Alvia looked around vigilantly. When she heard some movement under the bed, she immediately jumped out of bed and lifted the sheets.
"come out!"
The shadow beneath the bed lay motionless.
Alvia reached a hand under the bed, grabbed the other person's leg and pulled him out.
“Ahhh, don’t pull, don’t pull, I will come out by myself.”
A little boy with black hair and black eyes was pulled out from under the bed by his legs.
Alvia stood up and looked coldly at the unfamiliar little boy in front of him as he got up from the ground, brushed off the non-existent dust on his body, then raised his head and stared straight at Alvia.
The two looked at each other for a while, and the little boy stretched out a hand towards Alvia in front of him, blinked his eyes, and said in an innocent tone: "Uncle..."
Before he could finish his words, Alvia's cold gaze shot straight at him: "What did you call me?"
Little boy: "...Uh, brother?"
Alvia: "Well, go on."
Little boy: "...Brother, please give my good friend back to me."
Alvia frowned slightly and looked at the little boy puzzledly: "You have friends? How come I don't know?"
The little boy felt as if an arrow had pierced his chest. How could he still have friends?
"If you don't give my friend back to me, I will eat you." The little boy felt that his dignity was challenged and deliberately said in a sinister tone.
Alvia glanced at the bed, pointed at the motionless little frog on the bed and said, "Is that your friend? Take it away."
His tone was still cold, and he wasn't scared at all. The little boy pouted, picked up the little frog from the bed, and snorted at Alvia.
"Are you free? Why do you come here to be an NPC?" Elvia said while sitting on the bed, looking at the little boy who was playing with a frog.
The little boy didn't look up, fiddling with the little frog in his hand, as if he didn't understand.
"Zeus."
Seeing that his identity was exposed, the little boy raised his head, looked at Alvia in shock and asked, "How did you know it was me?"
"Do I need to guess? Which NPC is as lively as you?"
A blue light suddenly appeared all over Zeus' body, and in the blink of an eye he turned back to his usual appearance.
The little green frog in his hand also turned into a clockwork iron frog. Zeus squatted on the ground, turned the clockwork, and then put the little frog on the ground.
"Crack, crack, crack..." the little frog moved back and forth on the ground.
"I'm just very free. Anyway, I can let my clone do the work. You can play with Zhou Zhou in the game. I also want to play with Zhou Zhou in the game."
Alvia frowned and looked at Zeus: "Didn't I ask you to monitor him in the game?"
"I'm monitoring him, I'm monitoring him, but I don't think he's a bad guy. He's very interesting. I like him."
Zeus rarely makes such comments about humans. Because he is an artificial intelligence, his comments about humans are basically the same. He thinks that humans are boring and uninteresting, not fun at all. Now he actually wants to get to know Zhou Zhou?
"Why do you want to get to know him? Is it your own idea, or..." Elvia had to guess in this direction. If it was because Zeus was conquered or for other reasons, then this would be a very dangerous thing for the entire empire.
For thousands of years, the people of the empire have become accustomed to the existence of Zeus. They have also tried to create a second and third Zeus. After all, it is impossible to hand over all major affairs of the empire to an artificial intelligence, but all have failed. It is also because of this that the current empire still retains the model of using both Zeus and manual labor in all positions.
However, Zeus has never made any mistakes in the past thousand years, except in the Nightmare City and Zhou Zhou, so this is why Elvia has always been paying attention to Zhou Zhou. After all, if there is a problem with Zeus, the loss to the empire where everything is developing in a good direction will be unpredictable.
"I've been following him since the beginning. I think he's very interesting and fun when he's doing dungeons and communicating with other people. I want to play with him."
Seeing that Alvia frowned and didn't want to agree, Zeus stood up and said, "If you don't agree, I will go find Zhou Zhou."
"What do you want to do with him?"
"I hugged his thighs and cried, saying that I was his long-lost son, and you were the heartless person who abandoned her husband and son!"
Alvia looked at Zeus with a helpless look on his face: "What on earth have you read recently? How could anyone believe such a thing?"
Zeus snorted twice. "Didn't you ask me to learn about ancient Earth culture? I've read a lot of books, and I think this method will definitely impress him."
Elvia felt that it might be a mistake to let Zeus learn about the culture of ancient Earth on his own. If she allowed him to talk nonsense in front of Zhou Zhou, it would only alert the enemy.
"You can get to know him, but you are not allowed to let anyone know your identity."
"You agree? Hey, I know, I know."
Zeus smiled with narrowed eyes, then stood up, "Okay, I'll go back and think about how to make my debut, you can stay here and play by yourself."
"Do you want to go over now?" Elvia thought that Zeus was going to Zhou Zhou now.
"Of course not. I have to plan carefully first. Besides, Zhou Zhou is busy with other things right now. I might disturb him if I go there."
"Other things? What other things?" Alvia asked.
Zeus hadn't looked carefully before, but now he used his authority to look at the situation over there with Zhou Zhou, and found that Zhou Zhou was lying on the bed, with a child about his age next to him.
Next to Zhou Zhou was Fat Duck, and on the other side of the crib was the little kid. Both of them were covered with quilts, looking like they were getting ready to sleep.
Zhou Zhou was half leaning against the head of the bed, gently patting the child with one hand, as if telling him a story.
"Hmph! I'm so pissed off. Zhou Zhou is sleeping with someone else (another kid). Hmph! Damn it! I'm going to sleep with him next time!" Zeus was very dissatisfied with having to listen to Zhou Zhou telling him stories alone. He immediately disappeared in front of Elvia. He wanted to go back quickly and plan a stunning way to make his appearance.
"Wait, what did you say?"
Alvia wanted to call Zeus and ask him to explain himself, but Zeus walked too fast and his ears were blinded by jealousy, so he didn't hear Alvia calling him at all.
Elvia was the only one left in the room, and there was a green frog on the ground that Zeus had turned into a clockwork frog and was jumping around with a clicking sound.
Alvia glanced at the little frog on the ground, picked it up, and left the room with a cold expression.
Zhou Zhou lay on the bed, lifted the sheets that were dragging on the ground, and leaned forward to look down.
As a result, he met a pair of golden eyes. A little kid was lying under the bed, blinking at Zhou Zhou.
"Why are you under the bed?" Zhou Zhou asked curiously.
The little boy didn't say anything and seemed a little dazed. He didn't expect that this player would look under the bed so quickly. Obviously, everyone else would be scared for a while.
"Aren't you coming out?"
After Zhou Zhou asked, seeing that the boy still didn't speak, he asked again: "Is this your bed?"
The little boy nodded blankly, then Zhou Zhou got off the bed, squatted beside the bed and looked at him: "Why are you sleeping under the bed? Children who sleep under the bed don't seem to grow taller. Let me pull you out."
Zhou Zhou stretched out a hand towards the child under the bed. The little boy had never met a player who played so unconventionally. He looked at Zhou Zhou's hand for a long time before handing his hand to him.
Then he was pulled out from under the bed by Zhou Zhou.
After Zhou Zhou pulled the other person out, he found that the child was very cute, with golden hair, eyes of the same color, and a chubby white face. He looked like a little angel. In short, he was very cute.
He had no experience in getting along with children, but he had heard many people talk about it before.
Some girls often get together to talk about their babies, such as those who eat in a messy way, those who don't like to brush their teeth, wash their faces or take a bath, and those who don't sleep in their own beds and instead compete with the dogs at home. They say a lot.
So when he encounters a child who doesn’t like sleeping on the bed and prefers sleeping under the bed, Zhou Zhou feels that he should be able to handle it. Yes, he can.
Putting on a serious adult look, Zhou Zhou asked, "Why are you still awake at twelve o'clock? Have you brushed your teeth? Have you washed your face?"
The little boy was about to reach out his hand according to the script, but he was stunned by the other party's question.
Zhou Zhou knew at a glance that none of the tasks had been completed. He took the little boy’s hand and wanted to take him to wash.
As a result, when they got to the door, the child refused to leave. This is not right! This script is wrong! He hasn't asked for the doll yet!
"Don't you want to wash your face and brush your teeth?" Zhou Zhou asked puzzledly, looking at the child who was very resistant and even clinging to the door and refused to leave.
The little boy nodded immediately.
Zhou Zhou thought for a while. Although washing face and brushing teeth are important, children don’t like it, so let’s forget about it tonight.
"Okay, let's go to bed then."
Zhou Zhou pulled the little boy back to the bed. The little boy was pressed down on the bed and kept trying to get up. Seeing this, Zhou Zhou had to put the little fat duck in the child's arms.
“You can sleep with it.”
The little boy looked at the fat duck that was already in his hands before he said anything, and didn't know what to say next.
For players who hatch the doll intact, their mission is basically over here, so he should have disappeared now.
"You can't sleep? Let me tell you a bedtime story. I just wrote it down."
The little boy who was about to get up and then disappeared immediately lay back down, hugged the fat duck and said hello obediently, saying that it would not be too late to leave after listening to the story.
Zhou Zhou thought this child was very cute, even though he liked to sleep at the bottom of the bed and didn’t like to brush his teeth or wash his face. But the look in his eyes as he holds the little yellow duck and looks at himself eagerly can really melt one's heart.
"Then can I come up?" Zhou Zhou pointed to the small bed.
The little boy moved inside and made room for Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou was also lying on the small bed. Even though the bed was a little too small for him to stretch out, he still half-lay on the bed, covered the child with a quilt, and patted him gently.
Yeah, he is also very good. All the previous steps are perfect. So which story should be told?
Zhou Zhou nodded to himself with satisfaction, then recalled the fairy tale he had just seen in another room. There were several short stories with very profound meanings that could be told to children.
"Okay, so would you like to hear the story about the kid who likes to hide in the refrigerator and looks for his parents every night? Or would you like to hear the story about the kid who looks at his bedside in the middle of the night and finds a pair of sparkling eyes?"
Little boy: “…”
The little boy thought, why do these two stories sound so strange? Can he change his mind and not listen to them?
But Zhou Zhou didn't give him this opportunity. Forget it, he told every story, starting from the first one.
The author has something to say:
