To sum up, the old urban area is "old, dilapidated, urban area", which does not mean that the product is not what it seems.
A horse and a cat roamed the streets, realizing that the estate hadn't publicized the capture of the fugitives. Perhaps the escape of the animals was also a loss to the estate.
Is the civilian girl who screamed and called the hunting team when she saw them an employee of the manor?
Lu Cai and 666 temporarily hid in a small path on the side of the department store. When they escaped just now, they rushed into the old city area and ran around in a panic, and soon they got separated.
She contacted Shi Rukui, and after discussing, the two decided to act separately, retreat outside, and find other people first.
To be on the safe side, Lu Cai asked in the group chat, but only Yue Xiaoyan replied. She had just come out of a side story and got a memory fragment.
[Yue Xiaoyan: This memory fragment is a comic strip. It shows a little boy playing with his pet dog, and then the dog dies.]
[Lu Cai: Frankenstein dog?]
[Yue Xiaoyan: The style isn't that scary, the color palette is healing.]
[Shi Rukui: Is this the origin of 'Animal Farm'?]
Generally, memory fragments are related to the main plot of the dungeon, and most of the time they are background reminders.
[Yue Xiaoyan: Is the little boy the founder of the manor?]
[Shi Rukui: His pet dog died, so he built this manor and abused other small animals?]
This guess is a bit outrageous.
Healing style? Lu Cai couldn't help but think of the animated film she'd mentioned earlier. She remembered the film's style as gloomy and terrifying, and the storyline as fantastical, yet it told a helpless yet heartwarming tale.
What about this Animal Farm?
Although a hint of healing wind was given, in fact, it was for selfish interests and the satisfaction of perverted human nature that innocent animals were killed indiscriminately.
The intersection was bustling with people, as a film crew was set up on the street, filming.
Being chased by the killing squad, Shi Rukui did not dare to attract attention and did not fly into the sky again. Naturally, it was impossible for him to explore the nearby terrain.
But according to Lao Ke, if you follow the direction opposite the department store, you can reach Modern City District No. 2 - the villa that Lao Ke obtained through abnormal means is located in Modern City District No. 1.
Just as I was thinking about how to get through the crowd on the street, there was a loud noise in the department store and the ground under my feet shook slightly.
She hurriedly steadied herself and heard a crowd of people running wildly at the intersection ahead, but the filming crew had disappeared. Lu Cai took two steps forward in surprise. The people running wildly looked like extras playing passersby.
Lu Cai's heart skipped a beat and she frowned. With her guess, she felt somewhat speechless. She looked up at the building and saw thick smoke pouring out of its windows.
She looked away and lowered her head to look at the kitten at her feet, confirming that he had the same idea as her.
They've fallen into the side plot again.
Is it because it’s in a film and television city, so there are so many plots?
"We should probably go into the building and take a look."
There was chaos on the streets, and they could take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the department store.
Lu Cai and 666 walked along the roadside. The people passing by were in a panic and no one noticed the two figures walking in along the wall.
After squeezing through the mall's doors, Cai Lu heard shouting, cursing, and smashing noises coming from upstairs. He watched as scores of shoppers rushed out from the stairwell, each one panicking and panicking. The cacophony of screams, echoing the sounds of thrashing and threatening from upstairs, was a terrifying experience.
Someone was robbing.
She hurried forward, against the crowd. The hallway became even more crowded. Because of the fire, the elevators were out of service, and everyone was using the emergency exits. Lu Cai was worried that the crowd might step on the kittens, so she let 666 sit on her back. Then, using her tall body as a barrier, she squeezed upstairs.
The department store robbery itself is strange. With guns and the ability to blow up buildings, why rob a department store? And an old department store in an old city?
She stopped on the second floor. Most of the customers had already fled. Looking at the empty aisles of the store, Cai Lu took a few steps inside and saw a few new clothes and coats on the ground.
At this moment, several shouts and curses were heard, which were particularly obvious in the empty floor.
Hearing the shouting and the sounds of collisions gradually approaching, Lu Cai dodged and hid in a clothing store nearby, covering his body with the door curtain and peeking out through the gap.
After a while, Lu Cai saw a brown ball rolling closer. She looked carefully and found that it was a Pekingese!
Despite its short legs, the Pekingese was incredibly agile, leaping around in the narrow aisle. Three other men were chasing it, their pistols wielding, and the Pekingese was able to dodge bullets swiftly.
Lu Cai said nothing, just watching the scene of escape and pursuit quietly, his eyes passing by and suddenly stopping.
She saw a thin vine growing out from the gap between the floor tiles. Pale red thorns were attached to the emerald green branches, and a few tender green leaves hung between the thorns, swaying in the air.
The Pekingese ran past quickly, and when the three people behind it got closer, it pulled the vine suddenly, pulled it out of the ground, and the top of the vine swept across and hooked the ankle of the nearest person.
The man tripped and fell forward, and the gun in his hand fell out.
The vines were still growing rapidly, and they killed three pursuers in a row. The Pekingese dog in front disappeared in a flash, leaving behind a burst of barking and cursing.
Cai Lu opened the chat box expressionlessly and found Zhao Yan's name.
[Lu Cai: Is the animal you transformed into a Pekingese? With brown fur?]
The other party did not answer for a long time. After a long while, he replied a message.
[Zhao Yan: You also entered the side quest?]
[Lu Cai: In the department store in the old city, I saw three people chasing a Pekingese dog.]
[Zhao Yan:…]
[Zhao Yan: Where are you? I'll come back to find you.]
[Lu Cai: You should hide for a while. I just want to ask, what did these robbers steal?]
A shabby department store can cause such a big commotion.
[Zhao Yan: A string of jade beads.]
Zhao Yan explained slowly, completing the part of the story that he knew.
This is an adventure film with the theme of treasure hunting. The protagonists are a group of talented people who roam the streets. When they learned that the Buddhist jade beads were stolen by overseas forces, they gathered together and prepared to take back the Buddhist treasure.
The gunfight and explosion scene in the department store is the opening scene of the movie. The villain gang stole the Buddhist treasure from the ancient temple, but something went wrong and the Buddhist jade beads accidentally entered the small jewelry store of this department store.
Zhao Yan's Pekingese was just a cannon fodder dog for a passerby. His owner happened to be shopping in a jewelry store when he was shot.
In the script, when the pet dog saw its owner injured, it barked wildly at the criminal, and then was shot and died.
Lu Cai looked at Zhao Yan's reply, his face a little sad. This was a movie plot about a treasure hunt, so what were they doing? A treasure hunt?
On second thought, if the robbers hadn't evacuated, did that mean the Buddha's jade beads were still in the building? If they had intercepted the Buddha's jade beads, the entire movie would have been strangled in its cradle...
After all, in the hunting ground branch quest, she directly destroyed the game program and successfully left the branch quest.
If the plot of this treasure-hunting movie doesn't exist, then the subplots based on it certainly won't exist either.
And... Lu Cai also wanted to conduct an experiment. In previous dungeons, all players had followed the system's instructions, and those instructions were closely tied to the management of KB Games. This time, players were forced to disconnect from the system and could only complete the mission according to their own understanding.
If they could successfully escape even after destroying the dungeon plot, wouldn't that mean the management didn't have absolute control over the game world?
In fact, after leaving the "Hunting Ground" branch, Lu Cai recalled the scenes he saw when he broke into the main control room of the 13th floor of the community area.
In those images that were accidentally read, there was a young professor immersed in research, and the somewhat "unsympathetic" female voice of the system.
Clearly, the system's female voice had been speaking with good intentions when it spoke to the young professor, the kind of good intention that came from someone who didn't understand human emotions but was striving to learn. But when Lu Cai was discovered and left the main control room, the system's female voice he encountered again was clearly the same voice, but it was like a different core.
Judge Lu believes that since this is a game, it means that the code program can be changed. Did someone change the game program and turn the KB game into a bloody arena?
If the female voice of the system is the main system, then that young professor is one of the developers of the KB game?
But in her opinion, the young professor who was joking with the system female voice did not seem like someone who would create such an inhumane game.
Of course, appearances are not the only thing to judge a stranger, and she couldn't rely solely on her own perceptions to judge their goodness or evil. She just wanted to prove her suspicions. If the administrators weren't the true controllers...
Then players will no longer have to be subordinate to the management.
Lu Cai looked in the direction the Pekingese had come from. The narrow corridor was illuminated by the long tube lights on the ceiling, but the corridor was too narrow, casting many shadows, making the corridor look gloomy and eerie.
"666, let's go and see how rare that Buddhist treasure is." Lu Cai didn't laugh, but his tone couldn't hide his eagerness to try.
She looked there, as if she was looking at a place of life, her and 666's life, and also the life of those innocent players who were implicated.
......
[Lu Cai: I'm going to ruin the movie plot. You and Lao Ke should go first.]
Shi Rukui stared blankly at the message in the chat box. He suspected Lu Cai was already giving up. What did she mean? Ruining the plot? If he understood correctly, Lu Cai was planning to completely kill the side storyline?
This NPC that can break through the limitations of the game is extraordinary.
Looking at the ever-changing emotions in Shi Rukui's eyes, Lao Ke guessed something: "Can you still keep in touch?"
Shi Rukui came to his senses: "The built-in system is no longer usable, but the chat box copied by Lu Cai is not affected."
Lao Ke raised his eyes, his expression deep. "You mean, the chat box copied by Lu Cai is not affected by the game signal?"
Seeing his expression, Shi Rukui became a little wary, but Lao Ke knew Lu Cai's special abilities, and 666 also admitted that Lao Ke had given Lu Cai a complete book of data codes.
"I don't know the details, I just know that the chat box she copied is more stable." Xiao Falcon shook his body and didn't care.
