Chapter 138

"I'm not a thief!" Yan Yuan said in a trembling voice, "It's me, your neighbor, your neighbor..."

"Oh, it's the neighbor." The man said as if he believed it. "Neighbor, you're so loud and so rude."

The hostess was still staring at him with a sad look in her eyes.

"I'm sorry!" Yan Yuan apologized immediately, "I was wrong. I was so rude."

Amidst Yan Yuan's apology, the couple sat down again to pack up their things, as if the crisis had passed. Yan Yuan sat softly on the ground, covered in cold sweat. He no longer dared to make any loud noises and looked completely frightened.

The young couple, celebrating their new home, started chatting again, their words full of anticipation for the future.

This stage is passed.

Yan Yuan held his breath and returned to Shen Yunzhe and Ma Ran. Ma Ran seemed a little worried about him and wanted to say something but didn't dare to speak in this situation. Shen Yunzhe also looked him up and down, making sure that he would not continue to do stupid things after encountering such a thing.

Yan Yuan didn't want to die, he didn't want to die at all.

He was tricked into entering the game field. His annoying boss said he wanted to give him work guidance, but ended up showing him a live broadcast. He was forced into the game field. When he came out of the novice game field, he found out that this boss had shown the live broadcast to dozens of employees and was taken away by the police on the spot.

The boss laughed like crazy when he was being taken away in public.

He said that this was to assimilate more people into the playground, and that it was for the good of everyone, but Yan Yuan saw the crazy revengeful hatred in his eyes. He did this just to get revenge on society.

But why? Why should he become the target of others' wrath? Why did he have to enter such a horrible place?!

He wants to live.

His heart was pounding as he kept looking at the things around him. A mess of thoughts swirled in his mind. Finally, he turned to look at Shen Yunzhe.

In this box, he is the only one who can really survive, right?

Yun Xi, a player with mysterious abilities, has almost the same say as Qi Xue in this game. He is the one who found the correct way to complete the task. It must not be difficult to protect a small player who wants to survive!

Thinking of this, Yan Yuan swallowed his saliva.

There are only three people in this box, and one of them will definitely die. The unlucky guy Ma Ran is the one with the highest probability of dying.

If Shen Yunzhe hadn't been in Box 5, he would have been dead! Living these few extra hours was already considered a stroke of luck!

He carefully sat down next to Shen Yunzhe. The young couple were still talking in low voices.

"I seem to have heard that something happened at the Happiness Dumpling Restaurant that was on fire, and someone died inside?"

"It was a quarrelsome couple. They already had a conflict, and they ended up attacking each other to death in the private room. It's not the dumpling restaurant's fault." The man coaxed his wife, "That's why I ordered takeout. We won't go to the dumpling restaurant."

The hostess looked at him happily, "That's great, I'm looking forward to it more and more."

"It's because of this incident that the dumpling restaurant started offering takeout, which was not available before." The male host continued to pack things with a smile.

Shen Yunzhe listened to their conversation and determined that they were talking about what happened in Box No. 1, where a couple attacked each other to death. In other words, it was very likely that the events in the box did not happen at the same time, but in a certain order, or even according to the box numbers.

Thinking of this, Shen Yunzhe felt even more strange.

If the main task is to combine the special dishes of all the boxes and finally hold a wedding banquet in box number eight, then what is the medium of this game field?

At first Shen Yunzhe thought it was a mirror, but now he is not so sure.

Although there is a mirror world in the mirror, the entire game seems to revolve around these seven special dishes.

Is it possible that the media is still scattered?

The medium of the game field can be anything. What you think is possible or impossible is impossible. Even the players themselves are part of the medium, so what is impossible?

Shen Yunzhe's pupils dilated slightly.

A medium that relies on players to create ingredients from scratch? !

"Um, are you okay?" This greeting came when Shen Yunzhe was lost in thought.

Shen Yunzhe turned his head and looked beside him. Yan Yuan was sitting there, looking at him.

"What?" Shen Yunzhe asked.

"It's the injury from before." Yan Yuan whispered, "I don't know what's wrong with him. You said it was your second personality, but his injury was really serious. I've been a little worried. Since he is also you, are you okay now?"

Shen Yunzhe looked at him in surprise, "Are you concerned about me?"

"No, you're concerned about Hope?"

"Is his name Hope?" Yan Yuan ignored the fact that Shen Yunzhe had called him Hope before, pretending to know nothing, with worry on his face.

Shen Yunzhe frowned slightly.

All the worries he had about the game field and the media disappeared, and even the influence of the code-named fraudster was fading away. Shen Yunzhe clearly felt that he was in a very bad mood. The unhappiness in his heart rose. He turned to look at the young couple in front of him, trying to ease his bad mood.

But it's of no use at all.

Shen Yunzhe knows himself very well. He has always longed for stable social relationships, but in fact he avoids this so-called social relationship. He and code name Hope are the same person. He also has the extreme emotions that code name Hope has, but he is not as disdainful to hide them as code name Hope.

After realizing that Yan Yuan cared about code name Hope, whether it was real or not, it aroused Shen Yunzhe's twisted possessiveness.

Codename Hope was his and belonged to him alone. He would not allow anyone to touch Codename Hope without his consent.

It's impossible to show concern or talk to her.

"Yun Xi?"

"Shut up." Shen Yunzhe interrupted him decisively.

Yan Yuan was stunned. He looked at Shen Yunzhe blankly, "...let me shut up?"

"Why didn't I notice you were so annoying before?" Shen Yunzhe said, "If you had eyes, you would have seen that the injury wasn't on me. I'm able to move freely and think clearly."

"But I'm just concerned about you."

"No need to worry." Shen Yunzhe's attitude now was much colder than before. "I don't need it. I hope not. If you really can't find anyone to sympathize with, then sympathize with yourself. Didn't you just say that you shouldn't enter this playground?"

"Go ahead and yell a few more times, I don't mind."

Yan Yuan shut his mouth with an ugly expression.

He didn't know what happened. He only knew that he didn't achieve the expected result, and Yun Xi had a very bad impression of him.

Screwed it!

But how could that be? He was simply showing concern. In modern society, everyone is very kind to others. Why is Yun Xi different?

Yan Yuan was thinking about whether to make amends or not, when the doorbell rang in the box.

Ding Dong, there was a sound outside the door.

"Hello, we are the delivery guys from the Happy Dumpling Restaurant."

"Coming!" The hostess wiped her hands happily, walked over and opened the door. The moment the door opened, they saw the waiter.

The waiter stood at the door with a smile.

She was wearing a yellow tie and the smile on her face seemed carved on it. She looked through the box and saw the host not far away, and then saw the three players sitting next to her. The smile on her face became even bigger.

The hostess took the package from her with surprise.

"Happiness Dumpling Restaurant adheres to the principle of friendly service to every customer, and has prepared a special dish for them." The waiter stared at Shen Yunzhe and the other two, swallowing his saliva that was about to overflow. "I promise, this is the most delicious dish."

“Guests please enjoy yourself.”

The hostess nodded quickly and kept thanking him.

The waiter didn't yell at people to catch mice like before. Instead, he gave the three players a meaningful look and turned to leave the box.

The hostess brought the box and put it on the table. Shen Yunzhe stood up and walked to the door of the box. He carefully opened the door, leaving only a crack.

Just when the gap was big enough to see something outside, the waiter bent down and suddenly appeared in the gap. His eyes became extremely swollen, and the swollen eye stared at Shen Yunzhe. After a few seconds, Shen Yunzhe saw the waiter smiling, and the huge eye was full of a weird smile.

The waiter's shrill laughter came from outside.

Shen Yunzhe closed the door and returned to the sofa.

"The waiters are waiting outside," Shen Yunzhe told the other two. "They're probably waiting for the special dish to be released."

"What should we do?" Ma Ran whispered, "The mirror hasn't been opened yet. Even if it was, the waiter would be at the door. She would see us while we're dealing with the mirror and would come in right away. We need time, but the waiter doesn't!"

Yan Yuan kept shaking his head, "How could this happen? The waiter turned out to be the delivery man!"

Shen Yunzhe didn't say a word, he was still looking at the young couple in front of him.

The hostess was humming a song while clearing the table. The host stood up and said he was going to the kitchen to wash some plates for serving the food.

Shen Yunzhe looked in the direction the male host left. At this moment, he raised his eyebrows slightly. He seemed to see a black figure quickly disappearing from his sight.

He had collaborated with forensic doctors countless times, so he had some understanding of some criminal investigation methods. Although he didn't see it clearly, Shen Yunzhe subconsciously judged that the black shadow should be a person.

Shen Yunzhe remembered something.

At the beginning, when Yan Yuan spoke loudly, the young couple called him a "thief".

They say: It is very unlucky to have thieves break into your home right after you move in.

……Thief.

Shen Yunzhe stood up directly. He ignored the confused looks of Ma Ran and Yan Yuan and followed the male host into the kitchen. In the kitchen, the male host was humming a song while washing dishes.

The plates are all newly bought, very new and beautiful, and only need to be simply rinsed.

When he finished washing the dishes and turned around, he saw Shen Yunzhe.

"Neighbor?" He looked at Shen Yunzhe with a peaceful look in his eyes. "Why are you here? Aren't you drinking tea in the living room?"

"I'll see if there's anything I can do to help you."

The host smiled and said, "You're very kind, but I'm just washing a few dishes. I don't need any help."

Shen Yunzhe leaned against the door frame, "But I suggest you don't go out now."

"Why?" When the man heard that Shen Yunzhe wouldn't let him go out, the peaceful smile on his face quickly melted away. He looked at Shen Yunzhe with dead eyes, "Neighbor, this is my home. I can go wherever I want. Why are you stopping me from leaving?"

"Are you a thief? A thief who pretends to be a neighbor and comes to my house to steal things?"

"Are those two outside your gang?"

Shen Yunzhe shook his head.

He just anticipated what would happen next. He remembered the little girl in Box No. 1 questioning why they didn't stop her parents, and the players in Box No. 4 who tried to stop them but were killed together. It seemed that the plot in the box could not be changed at all.

But is there really no way to change it?

Ordinary players can’t do it, but the current Shen Yunzhe is codenamed Fraudster.

Codename Fraudster's ability: Strange Object Charm Value MAX.

As long as it is him, he can communicate briefly with the strange creature and will not die immediately.

[Codename Trickster's synchronization rate has been increased to 80%, enhancing his abilities.] The system has appropriately increased his synchronization rate. [Codename Trickster's abilities also need to be used appropriately. The erosion ability will significantly increase the Codename Trickster's abilities, so use them with caution.]

Shen Yunzhe looked at him and said, "If you leave here, you might die."

The host was holding the plate, and at that moment his heart was shaken. He suddenly wanted to listen to Shen Yunzhe's words.

Just as he was about to agree, he heard the hostess's voice calling him from outside.

"No." The man suddenly had the strength to refuse. "My wife is waiting for me. I want to have a perfect housewarming party with her. Even if it's dangerous, I can't leave my wife there alone."

"I have to go back."

The male host walked past Shen Yunzhe and went out.

Shen Yunzhe didn't look back, but the sound of the plate falling to the ground was too harsh.

He turned his head and saw the host fell among the broken plates. He opened his mouth but no sound came out because there was a bloody cut on his neck. He covered his neck helplessly, but blood kept flowing out from between his fingers.

A thief in black clothes and white socks stood next to him, holding a bloody knife in his hand.

Blood dripped onto his white socks.

"Husband?" the hostess called out to the host, "Have you not washed the dishes yet?"

The thief walked out step by step. The man opened his eyes wide. He kept opening his mouth to shout something, but could only make suffocating sounds. Until finally, his eyes were opened so wide that it seemed as if they were about to bulge out of their sockets.

The thief in black clothes continued to walk out with the knife in his hand, leaving a bloody footprint with every step.

The hostess who came to find the male owner stood there in horror. She looked at the male owner's body and let out a terrifying scream. The thief was startled by her voice. In order to ensure that he would not be caught, the thief grasped the knife and started walking towards the hostess.

To eradicate the roots and silence the witnesses.

The hostess turned and ran. She ran to the door of the box, but couldn't open it no matter what she did. She entered the nearest door and closed it tightly.

The thief stood at the door and the air was dead silent.

When Shen Yunzhe followed him out, he saw Ma Ran and Yan Yuan huddled aside, as well as the silent thief.

"Come out." The thief finally kicked the door and said, "You can't run away. There's no one here except you. No one can hear your screams."

"I'm just a poor man who just wants some money. I don't want to kill anyone, but who made him resist?"

"I promise, if you give me the money, I won't kill you."

Of course the hostess couldn't open the door, she was not stupid.

The thief had a fierce look in his eyes. He picked up the hammer used by the male owner next to him and hit the door lock again and again. Amid the hostess's screams, the thief broke the door open.

The short scream suddenly disappeared.

When you see joy, you see evil; a wedding banquet always turns into a murder scene.

The thief came out covered in blood, staring at the three players standing there.

"You are accomplices," the thief said. "If I am caught, you will not be able to escape!"

"I killed someone, and you watched me kill someone!"

As he spoke, the thief walked towards the living room step by step. He began to rummage through the drawers and cabinets looking for valuables.

Ma Ran asked Shen Yunzhe fearfully, "What should we do now? Should we leave the box?"

"Didn't you see the hostess couldn't open the door?" Shen Yunzhe said, "And there's a waiter outside. She's waiting for the special dishes to appear. We're still fine, which only means the matter isn't over yet."

"It's not over yet!" Ma Ran grabbed his hair, "This is already scary enough!"

They moved into a new house, but before they could decorate it, a strange thief appeared in the house. The thief hid in a place where they couldn't see him and killed the whole family.

So scary!

"Compared to this, I'm more concerned about one thing." Shen Yunzhe said: "That thief just now said we were accomplices?"

An accomplice refers to someone who collaborates in a crime, and this emphasis made Shen Yunzhe feel a little uneasy.

Crack! A strange sound suddenly rang out. Ma Ran looked towards the place where the sound came from. His face turned pale in an instant after seeing that place. He was even frightened and kept backing away until he was against the wall with no place to hide.

The man was bleeding as he struggled on the broken porcelain pieces. The pieces pierced into his flesh and blood gurgled out of his throat.

He stood up with the help of the wall, covered in blood, while the thief was still searching for valuables without noticing.

With a creak, the bedroom door opened and the hostess crawled out. She raised her head and her face was covered with blood.

"We just moved in here, how could a thief break in?"

"It's unlucky."

"Unlucky things should be cleared away, and thieves should not be born into this world."

"Kill him!"

The dead couple moved step by step towards the thief.
