Chapter 32 Perfect New World (Part 2)
Li Qing has been in the game for some time, and the characteristics of his work in real life give him certain advantages in the game.
For some unspeakable reason, he didn't trust anyone who showed off in the game, so even though he had good abilities, many large guilds had extended olive branches to him.
But to this day, he is still alone, has not joined any guild, and has never had any partners.
This was his first time entering a game copy above level B, and when he was collecting information, he found that there was very little information about the copy of "Perfect New World", which seemed a bit abnormal.
Because of the appearance of the Faith Totem fragments two days ago, Li Qing, with his keen professional sense, determined that this copy must be related to the Faith Totem fragments before many large guilds reacted.
So after he entered the game, he was always very cautious.
Just now in the darkness, I clearly heard the sound of the sliding door and strange and heavy footsteps, but no player acted on his own, which was enough to prove it.
Most of the players who enter this game are very powerful players. They may even belong to major guilds and will not act on their own without orders.
When Li Qing realized that he might have been guessed, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Because he felt that the strange and heavy footsteps disappeared in an instant after they walked behind him.
This is simply impossible. Even if a huge monster suppresses its breath, it will not leave any trace.
But that's what happened. The thing seemed to turn into a wisp of smoke and suddenly disappeared behind him, but it left an unignorable feeling of being watched.
In the darkness, it seemed as if only a pair of eyes were left, staring motionlessly in his direction.
Li Qing believed in his own feelings. After all, in his usual work, he sometimes had to work undercover for a long time and observe other people, so he was very familiar with this kind of surveillance-like gaze.
The hands that were pressed against the crotch of his pants were already sweaty. Li Qing had no idea why the unknown object in the darkness was staring at him for so long.
If the other party wanted to get rid of him, there would be no better time than now, but why didn't he do it?
Li Qing's body was tense and he didn't dare to relax, but the long period of high mental tension and maintaining the same posture made his body begin to stiffen.
Although he was not sure whether such darkness would affect the other person's gaze on him, he still used the cover of the chair to move his numb legs slightly.
Crash——
His foot soon touched something on the ground. That thing was very thin and was moved a little distance by his kick. The slight sound was infinitely magnified by Li Qing's facial features, and he paused.
I almost thought that the sound I made would lead me into some kind of irretrievable doom.
But in the darkness, apart from the lingering feeling of being watched, nothing seemed wrong.
After a while, he finally plucked up the courage to bend down and pick up the thing.
The thing looked like a thin bank card, rectangular in shape, and except for the lower right corner being a little cold, there was nothing else you could feel about it.
Just as he was stroking that thing repeatedly with his hands, the feeling of being watched from behind slowly disappeared.
Then, the moment the light came on, Li Qing saw the strange "ticket" in his hand, but before he could react, the ticket inspector appeared and took the head of a player.
The players in the carriage were a little stunned, as no one seemed to have expected that in a B+ level game copy, an NPC would come up and take a player's life without saying anything.
There was silence for a few seconds, and then there was a loud crash.
The players in the first few rows, regardless of whether they had found tickets or not, all took a few steps back in unison in tacit understanding.
I wanted to stay away from the still warm body, and even more so from the ticket collector who killed a player with just a wave of his hand.
More people who haven't found their tickets have started looking under the rear seats and on the luggage racks.
Li Qingben was sitting in a seat in the middle back, so he did not move. He just put the ticket in his hand into his pocket without leaving a trace, pretending to be busy looking for something with his head down.
Nan Huan and Bei Xi, who were sitting at the back, did not retreat either. When they saw the death of the player in the front, they both frowned at the same time.
Nan Huan had only entered one game copy, and this was the second one, so she had a fixed mindset and thought that in the copy, the death rule would be triggered after the task was released.
So when the ticket inspector appeared, she was not very alert, but when she saw the scene in front of her, she realized that as long as she was in the game, this horrible rule of death existed at all times.
Bei Xi had entered many game dungeons, so he was naturally clear about the rules of death. However, in the past, for dungeons of this level, there would always be some hints about the rules of death, and the lower the level, the more obvious the hints would be.
But in this copy, from the moment the ticket inspector says to check tickets to the moment the player reacts, there are only five seconds left during the other party's countdown.
Players who don’t have as good luck as Nanhuan and find tickets in the dark naturally trigger the death rule.
Is it because there are fragments of faith totems in this game copy that it is so strict?
Bei Xi was still frowning and thinking about the problem, but Nan Huan didn't have so many thoughts. She lowered her head and began to look around to see if there was any ticket.
Since Bei Xi doesn't want the one in his hand, he should find another one as soon as possible.
But before she could figure out what was going on, Twelve squeezed in from somewhere.
The other person stood to one side of the seat, using his body to block other people's sight, and handed over two things, "President, Miss, I found two tickets, you take them first."
She deliberately lowered her voice, as if she didn't want others to hear, and there was no extra emotion in her tone.
Nan Huan took out his own ticket and gestured to her to give the remaining ticket to Bei Xi. In this way, the three of them would have tickets and they wouldn't have to worry about anything for the time being. However, she still asked out of curiosity.
"How did you find two in such a short time?"
Nan Huan was lucky, as she had touched a ticket before the lights were turned on, but she also knew the settings of the game, and it was impossible to hide two tickets in the same place, so when she was searching just now, she looked in other places.
I didn't expect Twelve to move so quickly.
Twelve's expression was a little stunned, and a rare flash of embarrassment that matched her age flashed across her face. She said unnaturally, "I didn't find it. One is next to me, and the other is at my feet."
Now it was Nan Huan's turn to be stunned. Is this such a coincidence?
Bei Xi rarely saw a surprised look on Nan Huan's face, so he took her hand, asked her to sit down on the chair, and explained to her, "Twelve is a very lucky person."
Nan Huan remembered the other party's title and suddenly realized why Bei Xi didn't look anxious just now. It turned out that she had guessed long ago that Twelve would have an unexpected gain.
When Nan Huan saw Bei Xi was going to bring Twelve to this dungeon, he thought it was simply because Twelve was more capable, but he didn't expect it was because the other party was lucky.
"Although she is lucky, she is really capable."
Bei Xi seemed to see through Nan Huan's thoughts and added another sentence.
"What about you? What are your skills?"
Although he knew it was wrong to be curious at this time, Nan Huan finally remembered to ask her about this.
During the two days in the guild, Nan Huan was not in good health and spent most of the time lying in bed, while Bei Xi had a lot of things to do and was often not seen.
Apart from discussing Nan Huan's situation in the first copy, the two had no time to talk about Bei Xi's situation in the game.
It was not until now that Nan Huan remembered that he seemed to be still unclear about what Bei Xi's skills were.
She thought about it and asked without any hesitation.
However, when Twelve heard her question, he turned around to face the aisle and was alert to other players approaching to prevent anyone from hearing the president's skills.
Although she was very curious, she knew clearly that this was not something she could listen to.
There were no secrets between the two of them. Bei Xi leaned close to the other's ear without any hesitation, whispered something, and then quickly sat up straight.
Nan Huan was left a little stunned. He was stunned for a few seconds before reacting, "Are you telling the truth?"
Although he knew that the other party was unlikely to deceive him, Nan Huan still couldn't help but confirm with her.
"When have I ever lied to you? And you should know my abilities best."
Bei Xi reached out and slightly closed her surprised mouth. She felt that because of this game, Nan Huan was surprised by more things.
If someone approached these two people at this time, they would probably be very confused.
After all, despite the chaos in front, people here are still having a good time.
"Oh, what a pity."
In this strange environment, the ticket inspector standing at the front finally spoke again.
She put one hand on her waist and took two steps back with some disgust, as if she didn't want the blood flowing out of the wound to stain her leather shoes.
At the same time, a pair of calm eyes stared at the player's bloody neck for a while, "It turns out that he is not that dirty guy. It seems that we have to continue checking tickets."
She spoke as if she were talking to herself, with some impatience, and then she angrily turned to the noisy crowd, "I warn you, this car will not arrive at the station if you can't find the dirty things, and you can forget about going to Perfect Company."
Because of the NPC, Nan Huan finally connected this high-speed flying train with this copy.
Nan Huan believed that the system would not make a mistake regarding the plot outline of the game copy, and now it has been confirmed that this car is flying towards Perfect Company.
Whether they were going to a perfect company for an interview or had some hidden identity, they now seemed to be trapped on this train.
What was originally thought to be a ticket checking activity suddenly turned into a search for a dirty object, and Nan Huan was very sure that the thing the other party was looking for was the thing that had made a noise in the darkness before.
Nan Huan was just about to look among the players to see if there were any clues.
Li Qing, who was not far in front of her, no longer felt the sense of being watched, but he took advantage of the mess in the carriage, turned sideways, and looked behind him cautiously.
Bei Xi stood up as soon as the ticket inspector finished speaking, and his eyes swept over all the players one by one, quickly and without any pause.
Then, without any warning, the train turned dark again after the conductor said these words.
Nan Huan raised her head and paused for a moment, because she felt that the ticket in her pocket had disappeared out of thin air.
The surprise and panic on Li Qing's face were clearly visible in the darkness. He even pinched his palms, as if he couldn't believe what he had just seen.
Bei Xi indifferently calculated the situation just now in his mind, and slightly moved closer to Nan Huan.
"Besides the dead player, there were thirty other people on the train."
"The ticket disappeared out of thin air. It seems that every time it gets dark, we have to find the ticket again."
They both spoke at the same time, but the situations they discovered seemed different.
These two sentences contain a lot of information, even Twelve, who had been standing nearby, understood it.
When I first entered, the system informed me that there were a total of thirty players.
Now one player has died, and there are still thirty players on the scene, so it goes without saying who the extra one is.
They had just missed the opportunity to catch him, although the task given by the ticket inspector was to catch him so that the train could reach the terminal.
But the player also needs to find the ticket when the carriage becomes dark to avoid triggering the death rule.
In fact, they need to do two things in such a short time.
"President, Miss, I'll go find the ticket."
Although the last time of darkness was not short, Twelve was not sure that this time would be the same as the last time, so she did not delay and did what she was good at.
"Be careful."
Although he knew from Bei Xi that the other party was very capable, Nan Huan couldn't help but give some advice when he thought of the face that looked like a high school student.
Inside the carriage, other players quickly realized that the ticket process would restart every time darkness fell, and they began to search for it in a big way.
"Hey man, you stepped on my foot..."
"Let go, I discovered it first..."
"Oh my god, someone is shamelessly using a skill..."
…
The carriage soon became a mess. It seemed that the players realized that there would be no other danger in the darkness. They became somewhat unscrupulous and fought only for that thin little card.
Nan Huan sat there without moving. She always felt like something was wrong.
"Apart from noticing the wrong number of people, isn't there anything else special about you?"
She wanted to move closer to Beixi, but she couldn't see clearly in the dark.
The hand that he stretched out to test was firmly grasped by Bei Xi.
"The seats in the train are very high, blocking the view. There are too few clues, so I haven't found any yet. I should have some clues when the train lights up again next time."
Bei Xi had a keen sense and accurately determined the direction of Nan Huan's finger. She even pinched her cold fingertips. "But that strange sound, for the first time in the dark, suddenly disappeared halfway through. I'm afraid this dirty thing is not easy to find."
The two spoke in low voices, not at all noticeable in the noisy carriage.
Moreover, Bei Xi could keenly feel that all the players were retreating.
After all, the ticket inspector just now started from the first row. If you can't find your ticket, it's best not to be the first person to be checked. Everyone agrees on this point.
But among all the players, Li Qing was the only one who did not retreat.
Ever since he saw that thing in the darkness, he naturally didn't dare to step back.
In spite of his panic, he had to force himself to calm down and find a ticket.
Since that thing has not attacked me yet, the biggest threat to me in the carriage now is still the ticket inspector.
He knelt on the ground and crawled carefully, avoiding the players who were retreating in a hurry, and felt his way towards the seat in front little by little.
Soon he found a ticket in the corner of the first two rows.
At the same time, another player who entered the game by accident, Wu Tong, huddled in the corner of the seat in the front left, shivering.
He really had to enter the game copy, but his ability was not good enough, so he was dragged to the end and was forced to choose the copy by the system.
Although he had been in the game for a long time, he had never seen a player die so tragically at such close range.
There was still a strong smell of blood in the air, and he was trembling so much that he could not get up. Fortunately, when the carriage became dark, he grabbed something from the ground out of fear.
It’s the kind of ticket that some players were holding when the lights came on just now.
It’s just that the lower right corner of the ticket seemed to be stained with something, and it felt cold and sticky.
The noise in the carriage died down, as if an invisible war had ended quietly.
As expected, Twelve came back with three train tickets.
The lights in the carriage came on again. Nan Huan silently calculated the time, and then his face looked a little unhappy.
This time the darkness lasted shorter than the first time, which doesn’t seem to be a good sign.
When I looked up again, I found that the front half of the car was a bit empty.
The ticket inspector didn't seem to care about the players' dodging behavior. He just held the thermos cup, put his hands on his waist, and moved towards where there were people with an impatient look.
However, after taking two steps, she discovered that there was a person squatting under the second row of seats, and she kicked the seat at the edge impatiently.
"Hey, get out, we need to check your tickets."
This time, there was a hint of joy in her tone, as if she could cut the man's neck with a wave of her hand in the next second. She was a little excited, and her already stiff face looked even weirder.
Wu Tong had heard this once before, and he knew that if he didn't act, the countdown would begin.
So even though he gritted his teeth, he still stood up with weak legs, took two steps towards the ticket inspector, and tremblingly showed him the ticket he had just found.
The ticket inspector was a little annoyed that the duck in his mouth flew away. After checking the ticket, he couldn't help but push Wu Tong and said, "A good dog doesn't block the road."
Wu Tong was already unsteady on his feet and was afraid of the person in front of him. He thought he was going to die after being pushed like that. It was not until he bumped into a body that he realized he had survived. In shock, he turned around and hurriedly tried to apologize.
As a result, when he saw the person behind him, a cry of fear came out of his throat.
ah--
The man who was hit behind him seemed to have discovered something a little slower. He took two steps back and also shouted.
ah--
Same frequency, same pitch.
These two voices were so miserable that they attracted the attention of all the players.
After all, they didn’t quite understand why the two players, who had no reaction at all to the vicious ticket inspector, would react so strongly to each other.
As a result, everyone was very surprised to see two people who looked exactly the same, wearing the same clothes, one unable to stand steadily, the other stepping back, but they both covered their mouths in surprise.
Someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Then... there are two people who look exactly the same over there..."
Li Qing looked at everything in front of him and finally realized that what he had just seen was not an imagination. He turned his head with difficulty and looked behind a few rows of seats, and saw 'Li Qing' who was staring at him.
Something unexpected happened, and Nan Huan finally realized that something was wrong.
