Wang Lu has been feeling a heavy feeling in her neck these past few days, even though she hasn't been doing anything.
He's been very quiet these past few days, not causing trouble for anyone. He's suddenly realized that he should start living a good life.
Today, on a whim, he stood on the scale and saw that his weight was 98.2 kilograms. He was so shocked that he got off the scale.
He lifted the scale to check, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Wang Lu threw away the scale, thinking that she should go out and buy another one, as it was probably broken from not being used for too long.
He went to the convenience store downstairs, bought a new scale, went home, unpacked it, and stepped on it again. It still showed 98.2 kilograms.
He stared blankly at the weight, wondering when he had gotten so fat. He was now 196.4 pounds?!
Wang Lu walked out of the house with doubts. Recently, he had been feeling unwell with his heart, experiencing a strong sense of pressure. He went to the hospital for a series of tests, only to find that he was perfectly healthy.
The old woman led the new Taoist priest back to the apartment building, and they happened to run into Wang Lu on the way. "Hey, Xiao Wang! Long time no see!"
"Hmm, how's Grandma doing lately?"
"Very good, Grandma, I have to go now."
Before the old woman could speak, the Taoist priest stopped her.
"Grandma, try to avoid him as much as possible in the future. There's someone sitting on his neck."
The old woman was terrified. "What does this mean?"
"This man owes two lives and won't live much longer. Just listen to me and don't have any contact with him."
The old woman nodded with some doubt. She had never been superstitious before, but after these few incidents, she had started to become superstitious as well.
No matter what, we have to invite a Taoist priest and have a ritual performed in room 504.
The Taoist priest did not refuse at all and quickly completed the ritual. The originally gloomy room suddenly became sunny and bright.
He Tiantian also stood at the door peeking in. This was the first time she had ever seen something like this. Shen Yizhou came upstairs and gently tapped her on the head.
"Let's go, stop looking, let's go home and have dinner."
"Yes, today is the last day."
He Tiantian skipped home. Zhang Yunmei left the door half-open, hesitating whether to apologize to the two of them. Suddenly, she felt that what she had done to them was incredibly clownish.
She hesitated as she walked to the door of 404, and Tang Hao also came over. "Miss Zhang, do you need to see them for something?"
"Ah, it's nothing serious, you can go find them first."
Zhang Yunmei ran back to her room in a panic. Tang Hao shrugged and knocked on the door. "It's your brother Hao! Open the door for me!"
Shen Yizhou sighed helplessly. Why was this guy here again?
"Brother Mouse, what's up?"
"Pah! Pah! Pah! You're the rat!"
Tang Hao walked into the living room, sat down in the same spot, and held the same cigarette in his hand.
"Thank you so much for what happened last time. If it weren't for you, I would have been dead long ago."
"Oh, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative."
Tang Hao burst out laughing, "I'll treat you two to dinner tonight, come knocking later."
He swaggered out of 404, and now he goes in and out of 404 as if he's going home.
He Tiantian thought that having a meal together was fine, since they were leaving tomorrow!
There was another knock on the door. Shen Yizhou opened the door and saw Zhang Yunmei. Without thinking, he closed the door, but Zhang Yunmei stopped him with her hand.
"Mr. Shen, Ms. He! I've come to apologize to you. I was wrong to do what I did before, and I hope you won't mind. I hope our relationship can last a long time."
Zhang Yunmei ran off as soon as she finished speaking, leaving Shen Yizhou and He Tiantian bewildered. What was going on? Was she trying to clear her name? Impossible.
Shen Yizhou closed the door. "Ignore her, she's just a lunatic."
It was exactly six o'clock in the afternoon.
A "ding" sound rang out.
[Congratulations to players Shen Yizhou and He Tiantian on completing this mission. A teleportation portal will be opened for you shortly, and rewards will be distributed shortly.]
Both of them were a little confused. Why did it come so quickly this time? They weren't prepared at all.
"Isn't it supposed to start tomorrow?"
"I'm wondering the same thing, it shouldn't be like this."
Shen Yizhou was also somewhat bewildered. This system was really too arbitrary. It could change things at will, and now it could end them just like that?
Has there been absolutely no discipline?
Wait a minute, Shen Yizhou caught a key phrase: teleportation channel? So they're not going back to the rest area at all, but to another location??
"We should go straight to the next level instead of going back to the rest area. Be prepared."
"What? I don't quite understand!"
A white light appeared, and He Tiantian and Shen Yizhou swayed as they were simultaneously sucked into the light, both of them collapsing to the ground unconscious.
Tang Hao, who had just stepped out of room 402, suddenly didn't know why he had come out. He felt like he couldn't remember some things. He stood at the door in a daze, thinking for 10 minutes but still couldn't remember, so he simply turned around and went home.
As a flash of white light appeared, He Tiantian opened her eyes, only to find everything in complete darkness.
A mechanical female voice rang out.
[Player He Tiantian, a brand new gaming experience is about to begin for you!]
After the sound disappeared, the surrounding lights came on, and a rumbling sound filled the air.
He Tiantian's heart skipped a beat. What was this brand-new experience that the system was talking about? Why didn't she return to the rest area this time?
Only then did she realize that she was on a train, with a desk and chair directly in front of her and a large bed under her.
