Chapter 86 IQ up to 250
Before he knew it, time had passed quietly, and it was already afternoon when Xie Liang came out of the Little Bird Apartment.
When he reached the corner of the alley, Xie Liang saw the man named Li Dongsheng.
Li Dongsheng leaned against the lamppost in the alley, motionless, as if waiting for Xie Liang.
Xie Liang walked towards him, and just as he got in front of him, he heard him say, "You have money, right?"
Xie Liang didn't say anything.
"Lend me some."
Xie Liang only has 100 yuan left, and he still has some distance to go before he can find those five customers to complete his mission. His only source of food right now is ordering food from the restaurant.
Thinking of this, Xie Liang shook his head helplessly.
Seeing him shaking his head, Li Dongsheng grabbed his collar rudely and warned him, "Don't force me to do it!"
Xie Liang didn't want to argue with him, so he shook him off and walked forward.
Li Dongsheng didn't stop him. He walked out of the alley as if he had given up. After a while, he turned a corner and disappeared.
Just as he was about to walk out of the alley, Xie Liang heard the screams of the man named Huangmao, and he followed the sound to find him.
After reaching the end of an alley, Xie Liang found Huangmao.
Huangmao was covering his arm and screaming, with Li Dongsheng standing next to him with an expressionless face.
After seeing Xie Liang, Huang Mao yelled at him as if he had seen a savior: "Xie Liang! Save me! He wants to kill me!"
Xie Liang walked towards them.
Li Dongsheng glanced at Xie Liang with a strong warning in his eyes.
"You have many teammates, so I won't touch you, but don't meddle in other people's business." Li Dongsheng said coldly to Xie Liang.
Xie Liang knew that Huangmao was rich, at least three or four times more than he was, but he could see that if he was willing to pay, Li Dongsheng would not have hurt him.
"Have you forgotten the rule?" Xie Liang said.
"I didn't mean to kill him. I was hungry and just wanted to eat something."
Xie Liang looked at the screaming yellow-haired man and advised, "Be careful or he'll chop off your arm. Then he can pick your pockets just the same."
Upon hearing this, Huang Mao reluctantly took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket and handed it to Li Dongsheng: "Just one!"
Li Dongsheng took the money and left without saying anything.
"Are you okay?" Xie Liang asked.
"Do you think I'm okay?" Huangmao said as he took out gauze from his backpack and bandaged it himself.
"He just asked me to borrow money."
"You certainly didn't give it to him. If you had, he wouldn't have come to chop me."
"Well, no, I only have a hundred left and I want to keep it for now."
The two chatted casually and walked towards the restaurant they came from.
When walking on the road leading to the restaurant, Xie Liang saw Li Dongsheng lying in the middle of the road covered in blood.
Li Dongsheng was dead. It looked like he was hit by some large truck and run over.
His upper body was crushed as thin as paper, and the splattered blood and flesh covered the surrounding ground. He was still tightly holding the hundred-dollar bill he got from Huangmao in his hand.
Xie Liang felt a little guilty. If he had given him the money at that time, perhaps he would not have died.
The yellow-haired man next to him cursed Li Dongsheng, saying that he deserved it. He took the blood-stained banknote from Li Dongsheng's hand, wiped it, and put it back in his pocket.
Xie Liang's mind was in a turmoil: Where could he find the remaining five customers? Would the dungeon restart tomorrow? When would this endless cycle end?
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally returned to the open space outside the restaurant. Most of the adventers had returned, with only one or two remaining.
Xie Liang walked over to Lu Bubu and Shi Xiaoyin and stood with them.
"Brother, why do you look like you have the disease? What happened?" Lu Bubu asked.
Xie Liang didn't want to talk and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
"Are we still going to go find those five damn customers?"
Xie Liang shook his head: "No."
"Not going? Then what should we do next?"
Shi Xiaoyin glanced at Lu Bubu and said, "Idiot, wait for the instance to reset and then check them again tomorrow!"
"Big sister, will the copy be reset?"
"Anyway, I think so. Just wait and see if you don't believe me."
Seeing everyone's heavy expressions, Shi Xiaoyin shouted, "Don't lose heart! There are only five customers left to check, and Mr. Liu must be among them. The instance will be reset tonight, so if nothing unexpected happens, we can go back tomorrow after checking everything."
After hearing what she said, everyone started talking and seemed to be in better spirits.
Xu He came back and walked straight towards Xie Liang after seeing him.
Xie Liang looked very depressed. Xu He put his arm around his shoulders and asked, "Xiao Liang, what's wrong?"
Xie Liang shook his head, ignoring the gazes of the people around him, and hugged Xu He tightly.
Xu He sensed Xie Liang's sadness, so he took him to a nearby corner of the eaves and asked softly, "Xiao Liang?"
"Brother He, I..."
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Xu He checked his body anxiously. After seeing that he was not injured, he felt relieved: "Xiao Liang, what happened?"
"Brother He, I'm fine, I just feel a little tired. People always die here, and so many die every time. Is this a game? I really don't want to play it anymore..."
Xu He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He didn't know what to say and hugged Xie Liang tightly.
After a while, Xu He sat down against the wall and let Xie Liang sleep on his lap for a while.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sky gradually darkened and night began to fall.
The warm light of the restaurant shone through the glass, and the entire city was silent and dark except for the area of this restaurant.
Xie Liang was lying on Xu He's lap, sleeping soundly. Suddenly, he heard a scream of "Ah!" and he suddenly woke up.
The yellow-haired man not far away yelled, "Something happened to Li Kuantou!"
Xie Liang quickly stood up and followed Xu He towards them.
"What's wrong?" Xie Liang asked.
Wu Tingting pointed to a dark alley and trembled, "Li... Li Kuantou just said he needed to go to the bathroom, and then... he went there. Not long after, I heard his screams..."
Huangmao and Zhang Guo bravely walked towards the alley. Seeing this, Xie Liang and Xu He followed them.
The alley was pitch black and nothing could be seen. Xie Liang took out a flashlight and walked in front with Xu He.
Just a few steps into the alley, Xie Liang saw a winding bloodstain on the ground. The bloodstain was still very fresh and should be Li Kuantou's.
There was a rustling sound coming from the end of the alley, and Xie Liang shone the flashlight there.
A woman with long black hair and a white skirt was squatting at the end of the alley with her back to him, doing something unknown.
There seemed to be a person lying on the ground in front of the woman. Only the person's two legs were stretched out. Xie Liang thought it must be Li Kuantou who went to the toilet.
"Who is this woman? It's scary to see her dressed like this in the middle of the night!" said Huangmao.
Zhang Guo also asked, "What is she doing squatting there, moving around? Is that blood on the ground hers or Li Kuantou's?"
"You'll know when you go and take a look," said Xie Liang.
Xie Liang led them towards the woman with a flashlight, and the bloodstains on the ground extended all the way to the woman.
The closer he got, the more Xie Liang felt that the woman's back was somewhat familiar. It was not until he walked behind the woman that he remembered who she was!
Xie Liang bent down and patted her shoulder: "You are here..." Before he could finish his words, the woman's head suddenly turned around, scaring Xie Liang so much that he staggered back a few steps. Fortunately, Xu He quickly supported him.
"Ah! This woman is a ghost!" Huangmao screamed in fear and quickly jumped onto Zhang Guo, who was also frightened and speechless.
This woman was the female customer that Xie Liang had checked during the day. Her entire mouth was covered in blood, and her hands were also stained with blood. Moreover, her blood-stained fingernails had become unusually sharp and slender - Xie Liang clearly remembered that she did not grow her fingernails during the day.
The woman bent her body and slowly stood up. After she stood up straight, Xie Liang could see that Li Kuantu, lying on the ground, was covered in blood. A black hole had been dug out of his stomach by the woman in front of him, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
"Ah... she's coming!" yelled the yellow-haired man.
Zhang Guo hurriedly grabbed the yellow-haired man and ran back: "What the hell! What are you standing there for! Run!"
The woman rushed towards Xie Liang at an extremely fast speed. Xu He stood in front of Xie Liang and kicked the woman in the stomach, sending her flying several meters away.
The woman's bones were making "creaking! creaking!" sounds all over her body, and her limbs were twisted into incredible shapes. She crawled on the ground like a toad, and then pounced on Xu He again at an extremely fast speed.
Xu He hid Xie Liang behind him, drew out the black sword and started fighting with the woman.
The woman's attack speed was extremely fast, as fast as a gust of wind, and Xu He's sword was almost hitting her every time.
"Brother He, it's too dark and we can't see clearly. Let's lead her to the restaurant!" said Xie Liang.
Xie Liang pulled Xu He and ran back. The woman caught up with them very quickly. As soon as they ran out of the alley, the woman jumped in front of them.
As Lu Bubu and Shi Xiaoyin reached the entrance of the alley, they saw a ghost-like woman suddenly jump out in front of them.
Lu Bubu screamed in fear: "Wow! What the hell is this!"
"It's a ghost!" Shi Xiaoyin said as he whipped out a long whip and swung it at the woman. "Idiot, what are you still standing there for! Help me now!"
"She's very fast!" Xie Liang reminded.
"It's okay. She's fast, and so am I. I haven't met anyone who can compete with me in speed." Lu Bubu said, rubbing his hands excitedly and standing in front of the woman.
The woman must have some intelligence. She looked at them, then looked at the restaurant not far away, took a few steps back, as if she wanted to escape.
"Stop her! There must be something wrong with this woman!" Lu Bubu shouted.
Xu He, Shi Xiaoyin, and Lu Bubu surrounded the woman.
The woman moved extremely fast and rushed towards the weakest Shi Xiaoyin.
Shi Xiaoyin swung the whip at the woman, but the woman was too fast and she missed several times.
At this moment, Xu He took advantage of the woman's inattention and swung his sword, stabbing her in the back. The woman roared in pain and rushed towards the gap on Shi Xiaoyin's side.
"Let's chase her!" Lu Bubu said, and ran away behind the woman like a flash of smoke.
"What's wrong with this woman?" Shi Xiaoyin asked.
"I don't know. She was squatting next to Li Kuantou when we passed by." Xie Liang said as he turned on the flashlight and walked into the alley, not knowing whether Li Kuantou was dead.
Xie Liang walked over to Li Kuantou, squatted down, and sniffed his breath: "He is not dead yet."
Shi Xiaoyin used the flashlight to look at Li Kuantou's abdomen. "Luckily, his intestines haven't been pulled out yet. Did he faint from fright or excessive blood loss?"
"I don't know. Let's help him back first." Xie Liang said as he was about to help Li Kuantu who was lying on the ground.
"I'll do it." Xu He said as he reached out to pull Li Kuan's head.
At this time, Li Kuantou woke up, "Ouch... Ouch... Why does my stomach hurt so much!" He shouted weakly, and fainted again after seeing the cut on his abdomen.
"It seems that he fainted from fright." Shi Xiaoyin concluded.
Xu He carried and dragged Li Kuantou back to the open space outside the restaurant. Just as Xie Liang bandaged his wounds, Lu Bubu came back with injuries all over his body.
Seeing this, Shi Xiaoyin asked, "Idiot! What happened? Are you okay?"
"Damn it, that woman is too fast, I can't beat her!" Lu Bubu said angrily.
"You can't beat them, but you still try to get close to them? If you don't know me, you'd think your IQ is at least 250."
"Don't worry about that woman for now, the copy will be reset soon." Xie Liang said.
It's only a few minutes until eight o'clock in the evening, the time when the copy is reset.
Everyone sat together, quietly waiting for the copy to be reset.
