153.
This is a pure white world, not a void of nothingness.
There is a building with elevators, a registration hall, and even buildings and streets. But the underlying color of all this is white.
Lu Cai recognized the place; it was the KB Games community building, a near-perfect replica. She led 666 through it, but saw no one.
"Why are you so impulsive..." Lu Cai's tone didn't sound like he was complaining. "What should we do now? One of us is both..."
When they first arrived at this place, Lu Cai tried to break out by force. She punched through the wall, but it was still white outside.
The two tried to leave the building and take a walk, but found that no matter how long they walked, they were always near the building.
Cai Lu also tried to analyze the data, but the data she analyzed was like garbled code, and she couldn't see the clue at first.
If it was really a replica of the community building, perhaps there were clues on the thirteenth floor. So I went up to the thirteenth floor and looked around.
She had done everything she could, searching for everything she could, but she'd still come up empty-handed. She felt a bit reluctant to just lie down, so the two of them could only wander aimlessly around the building.
Just as the two of them reached the third floor, an explosion was heard from the direction of the "copy entrance and exit".
Lu Cai quickly rushed towards the source of the noise, followed closely by 666. The two figures swiftly passed through the passage like a gust of wind.
Listening to the approaching noises, she was certain someone was moving something. Turning the corner of the corridor, she didn't look at the doorframes she had initially assumed looked like security gates.
Inside was a ruin, with rubble all over the ground, and the color was no longer the monotonous white.
A man in heavy protective clothing was digging something in the rubble. He bent down, stood up, and shoveled piles of rubble out of the pit.
Because the other party was wrapped too tightly, Lu Cai was unable to determine his identity, but in the current situation, the best way was to capture the other party in one fell swoop and then conduct subsequent investigations and inquiries.
She thought so and did so.
Lu Cai jumped up lightly and rushed towards the figure, with only the wind brushing his cheeks.
Just when he thought he'd easily succeed, a long, white, armored tail suddenly appeared. It stabbed Lu Cai, who narrowly avoided it, but it had already made a loud noise, and the figure in the protective suit had certainly heard her.
Lu Cai stood aside, and 666, who was not far behind him, had already drawn his sword and rushed forward. She glanced around, and the pure white hard-armored long tail just now seemed familiar.
My gaze followed 666's figure, finally landing on the giant white monster—two enormous claws, six slender side legs, and a tail spike that curved upward and stabbed forward...
"666! Stop!" According to his habit of cutting scorpion monsters, one cut would probably cut it in two.
666 rushed forward, but Lu Cai's call stopped him. He sheathed his sword just in time and dodged the scorpion monster's attack. The giant scorpion monster gradually stopped its movements, and the storm subsided in an instant.
Lu Cai was a little uncertain: "Greatly?"
When the man in protective suit saw them, he dropped the shovel in his hand and rushed over.
"You are all fine!" Lao Ke was very excited.
"Why are you here?" Lu Cai spoke to Lao Ke, but his eyes fell on the giant scorpion on the side. He watched Dali transform from a two-story-tall monster into a pure white scorpion the size of a pug.
When this was mentioned, Lao Ke became excited: "I replicated this building based on the KB game community area. I originally wanted to study the principle of how the main system controls the community area and the copy, but..." His voice gradually tapered off, and he looked at the mess on the ground.
The white scorpion crawled over vigorously: "Duoduoduo——" waving its claws, as if complaining to Lu Cai.
"But you're pretty impressive here." Lu Cai was genuinely impressed. "666 and I are trapped here, and we can't find a way out."
Lao Ke waved his hand. "But this is a dead zone, like a model, it's meaningless." He watched 666 approach. "Are you going to the community area?"
Seeing that Lao Ke was hesitant to speak, Lu Cai asked, "What's wrong?"
"Last time in the campus copy, the main system wanted to swallow you up. It's too dangerous to go back now-" Lao Ke said.
Lu Cai shook his head: "When was I not dangerous?"
Lao Ke sighed: "Are you planning to go back and confront the main system?"
"She wants to recruit me, so I have no choice but to strike first," said Lu Cai.
Lao Ke glanced at 666 beside him and finally shut up: "I can send you to the community area, but I have to remind you that the management has blocked the mission area in order to track you down."
"What about Qin Yu and the others?" Lu Cai frowned. If Lu Jue blocked the dungeon when the two of them left, the others must not have left the dungeon yet.
"They are still in the dungeon." Lao Ke didn't waste any more words.
Cai Lu looked at the replica site in front of him again: "So you copied the community building and are messing around with this again, are you trying to create a second place for players to settle down?"
Lao Ke didn't deny it, but just sighed: "It's a pity that I figured out the data of the structure, but I can't find the core problem."
Cai Lu looked at it carefully. In fact, this place was well constructed. The maker must have been very careful when creating it. The structural stability was even better than the original.
But it was indeed missing something core, and she couldn't tell what it was.
——
Community area, 6-story shopping area, "Number Twelve" grocery store.
Jiang Yan looked at the players fleeing on the street through the glass door, and his eyes couldn't help but darken.
The management started arresting people indiscriminately again.
It is said that some players' points rewards were doubled after leaving the dungeon. According to the dungeon's final boss notification, it was a non-player character who defeated the boss.
He guessed who it was.
Who else but her can tear the ultimate boss apart with bare hands and make the management furious?
Is this a sign of an open war between her and the management? I heard that the quest areas have been shut down, and many players are trapped in the dungeon world.
Fortunately, I can live in the copy world. No, maybe I should say that the copy world is more comfortable than the community area.
If it weren't for the fact that the copy world kept restarting in a loop, he would have also gone to the copy world to seek refuge.
He sighed, and finally pulled the curtains on the glass window, no longer looking at the scene outside where the man in the black suit was arresting the player.
At least there are no casualties among players now, and the management seems to want to find out the reason for the doubling of experience points from those players.
Jiang Yan cleared the clutter on the counter, turned around and pushed open the door of the workshop.
The door opened and he stepped in. When he looked up, he saw two cloaked figures and was so frightened that he almost stumbled.
When he saw the two cloaks clearly, his eyes widened and he quickly walked out of the room. He glanced at the shop door a few times to make sure it was closed tightly before returning to the workshop.
"Why are you two here!" Jiang Yan quickly closed the door of the workshop.
Lu Cai raised her hand and lifted the brim of her cloak with her fingers, revealing a pair of bright black eyes: "The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. Your place is more convenient than the entrance and exit of the mission area--" With her other hand, she picked up a small copper bell and raised it vigorously, but the bell seemed to be mute and there was no sound.
Jiang Yan relaxed: "Did Lao Ke send you here?"
"Do you know Lao Ke?" Lu Cai was indeed confused. She originally thought that the bell had the function of guiding the way, which was why they appeared here. So it turned out that Lao Ke knew him?
When Jiang Yan heard this, he was stunned at first, then he thought, yes, although Lao Ke contacted him a while ago and said that a passage was needed to connect to the community building, and asked him if he had such a prop.
Jiang Yan gave the unused guiding bell to the other party. When he saw Lu Cai coming here through the guiding bell, his first reaction was that it was sent by Lao Ke.
But recalling it, the first time Lu Cai appeared in the community was through the guiding bell...
"Did you come here by yourself?" Jiang Yan asked uncertainly.
Cai Lu decisively said, "Lao Ke sent us here."
Jiang Yan: “…” Blame him for thinking too much.
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Yan avoided the previous topic and looked at them.
Lu Cai put the bell away and put it directly into his pocket: "Lend me this bell for a while... My plan... First of all, I can't implicate innocent people--"
Jiang Yan realized that the "innocent" person was referring to him, and was about to say something bad when 666 suddenly stood up and drew his long sword.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Yan's hair stood on end, and he felt something was wrong.
......
Bang!
The glass window of the "Number 12" store suddenly shattered to the ground, and a figure was thrown out, hitting the glass, alarming all the men in suits on the street.
Jiang Yan fell heavily to the ground. Although Lu Cai took protective measures and was not really hurt, he still cursed in his heart: these two people are really a perfect match. They attacked without hesitation and cleanly and efficiently.
Jiang Yan looked up and saw the man in the black suit running in. His alarm bells rang, and he started coughing for some unknown reason. He tried his best to act like he was hurt, and then pointed at his shop: "Inside! Someone is hiding in my shop!"
The man in the suit looked at him suspiciously, and the two men in suits who arrived later walked directly towards "Number 12".
The two figures had barely entered the store when they were kicked out. Jiang Yan, holding onto the wall outside, stood up shakily and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tell Lu Jue that if he wants to catch me, he has to come here in person." The man in the black cloak slowly stepped out of the broken glass window, with broken glass illuminated by the light under his feet.
The man in the red cloak came out right after her, following behind her like a guard.
In an instant, the alarms in the entire building rang, and countless dark shadows rushed over.
Lu Cai simply raised his hand to lift the hood on his head, revealing his thin and frail face, but his eyes were dark and bright, and he was still smiling brightly at the moment.
"If he doesn't come to find me, then I'll go find him." She raised her hand. "Could you please lead the way?"
The men in suits all looked tense and hesitated for a long time. They chose to ignore her words and rushed towards her.
Lu Cai sighed softly. They were going to take her there anyway, and now that she was cooperating, why resort to violence? A simple problem had been complicated. This "security system" needed an upgrade.
He raised his eyes and looked forward again, his smile faded and a chill suddenly rose.
