Chapter 418: Solved! and Discovered.
Su Ning's eyes were fixed on Duan Meijuan who was not far away.
Seeing this, Suning still admired this [Nightmare Town] a little. He didn't know how they could make the characters look so realistic.
Duan Meijuan's figure was so clear that it seemed as if it was projected directly from the real world. Every detail was lifelike, even her unpleasant expression and tone were exactly the same.
Su Ning frowned slightly, feeling annoyed.
However, Duan Meijuan's words made Suning feel a little confused.
"I saw Zhang Li and she said she started crying as soon as she saw her in the morning."
These words echoed in Suning's mind.
This reminded Suning of the scene when she first entered this nightmare town, when she saw her deceased mother.
The sudden emotional impact made it almost impossible for her to control herself.
Even she almost cried because of the complicated emotions, let alone Zhang Li, whose parents had passed away like her.
"It seems that this Zhang Li should be the player Zhang Li I know." Suning thought.
Since her parents passed away, Zhang Li has grown up rapidly from a problem girl, and with the presence of Zhao Fuqing, she has grown up rapidly.
He became a player with a tough personality and rarely showed his vulnerable side.
However, in this strange nightmare town, it seems that even the strongest people can hardly withstand the impact of emotions.
Just as Suning was lost in thought, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the house next door.
Immediately afterwards, a figure rushed out from the door.
That person was none other than Zhang Li.
There were still traces of tears on her face, and her eyes revealed an indescribable complex emotion.
Her appearance did not surprise Suning.
At this moment, she stood between Duan Meijuan and Suning. "Mom, Suning!"
Zhang Li's voice was trembling, and it was obvious that she had not fully recovered from her previous emotions.
Zhang Li never imagined that this so-called nightmare town would be so real and so cruel.
At first, when she learned that she could only rely on the player's talent in this survival copy, she felt a little nervous and uneasy.
However, when she actually entered the copy, found herself in a familiar environment, and saw her deceased parents, her tense nerves finally collapsed.
The sudden emotional impact made her unable to control her emotions, and tears flowed out involuntarily.
She once thought that after her parents' death, she was strong enough to face any challenge, but in this nightmare town, she found that she was still an ordinary person and was still controlled by emotions.
When Duan Meijuan saw Zhang Li, she felt like she had found her point of discovery.
"Xiao Li, Mom is here. Tell me, did Suning bully you again?"
As she spoke, Duan Meijuan glared at Su Ning fiercely again.
Suning:.
Suning looked at Zhang Li speechlessly.
Zhang Li was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.
If it was before the natural disaster, she would really stand by her mother. Even if it was not Suning who bullied her, she would pretend that it was Suning who bullied her.
Well, she was always against Suning back then.
"Mom, it's not Suning who bullied me. That's not the reason why I'm crying. I have a very good relationship with Suning now." Zhang Li said.
"Oh? You're on good terms with Su Ning now? How come I didn't know you and her were so close!"
Duan Meijuan's voice suddenly changed, and the originally sharp tone suddenly became cold and chilling, as if it came from the depths of hell.
Her eyes also became sharp, staring straight at Zhang Li.
Su Ning and Zhang Li were both stunned, and alarm bells immediately rang in their hearts.
Suning reacted quickly. Having had an experience where his Aboriginal parents almost transformed, he immediately realized that Zhang Li's behavior had aroused Duan Meijuan's suspicion.
Zhang Li's performance is 'different'
In this nightmare town, the natives are extremely sensitive to the players' attitudes, and any abnormal behavior may lead to unpredictable consequences.
Su Ning quickly signaled Zhang Li with his eyes, reminding her to be careful with her words.
Zhang Li also immediately sensed the dangerous aura.
She had experienced many survival dungeons, and the dungeon tasks flashed quickly through her mind.
She immediately understood what Suning meant and knew that she had to turn the situation around as soon as possible.
"Mom! Do I have to explain it clearly here?" Zhang Li's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, with a hint of grievance and dissatisfaction in her tone.
She deliberately put on an angry look and continued, "Yes, that's right, it was Suning who made me cry! She always gets first place in the exams, and she's so self-righteous and thinks she's nothing that she shows off in front of me. This kind of behavior makes me very angry. This is what made me cry!"
When Suning heard what Zhang Li said, he couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.
Although I know Zhang Li is acting, it sounds like she has something else to say!
Zhang Li responded with a look: "What time is it, and you're still fussing about this!"
Although the eye contact between the two was brief, they showed a tacit understanding.
Duan Meijuan's eyes swept back and forth between the two of them, as if trying to find some flaws.
However, Zhang Li's performance clearly worked.
Duan Meijuan's expression gradually relaxed, and the cold aura dissipated, returning to her original appearance.
"So that's how it is." Duan Meijuan's voice became sharp again, but the previous hostility was no longer in her tone.
She waved her hand, seemingly losing interest in the matter. "You kids, quarreling over these trivial matters all day long, it's really worrying."
At this time, Su's mother also interrupted and said, "Yes, it's all children's affairs."
Suning and Zhang Li both breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced in their hearts.
They knew that the crisis had been temporarily resolved, but in this nightmare town, danger was everywhere and one could end up in an irretrievable situation if they were not careful.
"Mom, don't be angry. I won't bother with her anymore. I just said that I have a good relationship with Suning because I didn't want to make you angry anymore." Zhang Li said in a well-behaved manner, with a hint of coquettishness in her tone.
Duan Meijuan nodded, seeming very satisfied with Zhang Li's attitude.
She turned and walked towards the kitchen, still muttering, "You kids are such a worry."
Only when Duan Meijuan and Su's mother completely disappeared from their sight did Su Ning and Zhang Li completely relax.
The two looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness and vigilance in their eyes.
"That was really dangerous just now." Zhang Li said in a low voice, with a hint of fear in her tone.
"Yes, this Nightmare Town is even more special than we imagined." Suning nodded, frowning slightly, "We must be more careful and not reveal any more loopholes."
Zhang Li took a deep breath and nodded: "I understand. But when I first got here, I almost thought..."
Because the system finally performed a miracle and made his parents appear in front of his home.
Although she knew that her parents died tragically in the survival copy while trying to save her.
It's just that emotions can't be controlled.
Su Ning pondered for a moment and whispered, "As long as we don't reveal our differences, the mission in this dungeon will be fine. We still need to explore other dangers."
The two nodded in tacit understanding, knowing in their hearts that every next step must be taken with caution.
"I just didn't expect that we would be together." Zhang Li was a little surprised.
Suning looked at his building,
“Maybe it’s because we were neighbors before.”
Zhang Li: "That's good. I can breathe a sigh of relief with you around."
Su Ning rolled her eyes at Zhang Li. She had not forgotten Zhang Li's performance just now.
Zhang Li smiled embarrassedly.
"You used to be like that, and it made me angry."
Suning: "Really? I haven't noticed."
Zhang Li: Here it comes, that’s how it is, that’s why it makes people even more angry!
Suning paused and continued, "The more unfriendly we are in front of our families, or in front of the more inhabitants of Nightmare Town, the less likely we are to trigger 'difference.' I think this dungeon must have read our memories to materialize our parents and community. However, these memories probably existed before the survival dungeon arrived, so their perception of us is still stuck at that time."
Zhang Li listened carefully, nodded, and a glimmer of understanding flashed in her eyes.
She whispered back, "No wonder Duan Meijuan is so sensitive to my attitude. It turns out her perception of me is still stuck in the past. If we act too intimate or friendly, it will only arouse her suspicion."
"That's right," Suning agreed, "so we have to try our best to act like we did before, or even be more indifferent. That way we won't alert them."
Zhang Li took a deep breath and nodded. "I understand. However, this may further restrict our actions."
"Yes, but there's nothing we can do about it." Suning sighed, then changed the subject and said in a low voice, "By the way, I have one more thing to tell you. I found some special medicine in this survival dungeon, and the effect is amazing."
"A special medicine?" Zhang Li was a little surprised, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"Yes," Suning nodded and continued, "Although this survival dungeon is strange, it also has some magical aspects. We can collect some useful supplies, such as the special medicine I took. Maybe it will come in handy at a critical moment."
Zhang Li nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed, if we can find some useful supplies, the chances of survival will be greatly increased."
Suning smiled and added, "Not only that, the breakfast I had this morning also surprised me. Although it looked ordinary, it actually satisfied me greatly. This suggests that many of the supplies in this dungeon have special effects. We should pay more attention and try to collect as much as possible."
Zhang Li's eyes flashed with excitement. "So, although this dungeon is dangerous, it also hides many opportunities. If we can make good use of these resources, we might be able to collect a lot of supplies when we return."
"That's right," Suning nodded, his tone firm. "So we must not only be careful with the natives, but also explore this instance as much as possible to find more useful supplies."
But soon there was some loss in Zhang Li's eyes.
“It’s a pity that my planting space is limited, otherwise I could collect more.”
Suning said, "Don't worry, just take as much as you can." She could take more with her own scavenger backpack.
The two looked at each other, and a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts.
Although this nightmare town is full of unknown dangers, it also hides many opportunities.
As long as they are cautious enough and make rational use of resources, they may be able to stand out in this survival copy.
"I don't know what Lin Lele and Xiaoqing are like after entering this dungeon. Will they encounter the same thing as us?"
Suning is not sure either, but hopes they can work hard to get through it.
"Then what should we do next?" Zhang Li asked in a low voice.
Suning pondered for a moment and replied, "Let's hold off and continue observing. We can start with our homes to see if there are any special items. We should try to behave as usual so as not to arouse the suspicion of the natives."
Zhang Li nodded. "Okay, I'll pay attention. But we also need to keep in touch and exchange information at any time."
"Of course," Suning smiled slightly, "We are teammates."
The two smiled in tacit understanding, then separated and began to act according to the plan.
While Suning was quietly acting at home, various scenes were playing out in other corners of Nightmare Town.
This strange copy is like a huge net that covers all the players, and everyone is struggling to survive in his or her own way.
On the other side of the town, a player accidentally revealed a flaw and was discovered to be "different" by the natives.
His words and actions did not match the memories of the indigenous people, which immediately aroused suspicion.
Before he could react, several natives surrounded him with cold and hostile eyes.
He tried to explain, but it was too late.
The natives acted swiftly and decisively, and in the blink of an eye, the player was "dealt with" as if he had never existed.
Elsewhere, another player was much luckier.
He was keenly aware of the indigenous people's sensitivity to "difference" and immediately adjusted his behavior to be completely consistent with the indigenous people's memories.
He even took the initiative to interact with the indigenous people, using an indifferent attitude to cover up his true identity.
His caution allowed him to avoid danger temporarily, and he began to explore carefully in the Nightmare Town, looking for a chance to survive.
At the same time, Suning has started his own "treasure hunt" at home.
She looked down at the [Nightmare Town Special Effect Pain Suppression Potion] in her hand and had a vague guess in her mind: "Since there is such a medicine, it means that there may be other special things in this dungeon."
Suning decided to search carefully at home.
Su's mother and father felt a little strange about her behavior and looked at her with puzzled eyes from time to time.
But Suning was well prepared. Every time she was asked, she would make up some irrelevant excuses, such as "I'm looking for my old books" or "I lost something."
Although Su's father and mother felt that she was a little abnormal, they did not delve into it. They just shook their heads and continued to busy themselves with their own things.
Suning used his [Eyes of Scavenging] to search carefully at home.
Soon, her efforts paid off.
She found a seemingly ordinary potted plant in the corner of the living room, but when she looked closely with her [Eye of Scavenging], a message immediately appeared before her eyes:
[Special potted plants in Nightmare Town]: Place them at the bedside to induce hypnosis quickly!
Su Ning raised her eyebrows. Although she herself did not suffer from insomnia, the existence of this special item made Su Ning more convinced that there were many treasures worth exploring hidden in this copy.
She carefully put the potted plant away, thinking to herself, "Although this thing is useless to me, maybe it will come in handy in the future."
