Li Dapeng is not a patient person. He and Xu Zhi waited by the pool for a long time, until their legs were sore, but there was still no sign of the gold coins.
As he was becoming more and more impatient, a flash of golden light appeared in the center of the pool, suddenly attracting his attention.
It actually exists!
"Here it comes!" Xu Zhi was also very excited. He pointed at the gold coin in the middle of the water and shouted, "Brother Peng, do you think I was right? It's right there!"
Li Dapeng was anxious, and Xu Zhi was even more anxious than him. Don't think that he didn't notice the covetous eyes of the person next to him. If he was not the only teammate now, this person would have attacked him long ago.
Bah, if you have the guts, go find the dungeon boss. Why are you trying to show off in front of me? You bully, you useless piece of shit!
"You are quite clever." Li Dapeng was so focused on the gold coin that he didn't notice Xu Zhi's little thoughts. He just looked at it for a while and frowned.
"The thing is in the middle of the water. Who of us will go down and get it?"
He turned his head as he spoke, squinting his eyes as he looked at Xu Zhi.
Xu Zhi saw what was in his eyes. Did he want him to be a guinea pig?
He glanced at the clock hanging on the wall silently, forced a smile and said, "Brother Peng, how about we think of another way?"
"Who knows what's underwater. This place is so dangerous. I might lose my life if I'm not careful. Then, Brother Peng, won't you have to face so many monsters alone?"
Seeing him thinking, Xu Zhi lifted his foot and walked to the side: "Maybe there are some tools in the utility room? I'll go check it out. Brother Peng, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
He did go to the storage room. Li Dapeng thought about it and felt that what Xu Zhi said made some sense, so he stood there and waited.
But he waited for a long time, the minute hand moved several times, but no one came out of the small storage room.
Li Dapeng suddenly became impatient.
He quickly walked to the door of the utility room. It was pitch black inside and he couldn't see anything at all. He shouted, "Xu Zhi?"
No one answered. Li Dapeng looked at the pure black in the utility room and felt a little scared. He just called out again at the door. This time someone answered, but the voice was a little weak.
"I'm here……"
He immediately gained confidence and walked in with his sleeves rolled up: "Xu Zhi, I haven't seen you for a while, you've become so brave, you actually dare to scare me!"
However, the moment he stepped into the door frame, the surrounding scene suddenly changed, and the change was so frightening that he froze in place.
Li Dapeng lowered his arms and the sleeves he had just rolled up fell back. He stood there. The walls around him were clean and tidy, the lights above his head were bright and dazzling, the utility room was tidy, and the air was filled with the smell of a clean swimming pool.
This is what the villa should look like, but Li Dapeng was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat - this was exactly the same scene as in his dream.
The utility room was empty. He rushed out of the room in a panic and saw the crystal clear pool water and the plunging night outside the window.
There was a person squatting in the corner. Li Dapeng didn't even look closely at the person's clothes. He was completely immersed in the delusion that he was being targeted, and subconsciously thought it was Xu Zhi.
Li Dapeng breathed a sigh of relief, ran over and slapped the man on the back, knocking him to the ground: "Damn it, you bastard, how dare you scare me!"
He kicked hard to cover up his panic and cursed, "Where's the stuff? Where's the stuff you took? You dare to scare me? Do you think I don't dare to hit you?"
He kicked the man one after another, but the man fell straight to the ground without even changing his movements. Li Dapeng realized something was wrong and took two steps back.
"Forget it this time, but if it happens again, I'll kill you!"
He uttered harsh words and retreated faster and faster.
What was Xu Zhi wearing today? This guy didn't say a word and was very stiff when I kicked him. Could he be dead?
The impulse faded away, and the fear surged up layer by layer. Li Dapeng no longer looked at him, turned his head and ran out.
He rushed forward, past the pool and through the gate, his mind full of thoughts.
Of course he had not forgotten what Xu Zhi said. This dilapidated land was exactly the same as the villa he had visited before. Maybe he was here for revenge.
Damn it! He walked through a door and couldn't help cursing: "I just took some things, damn it! If you want revenge, go find Yan Qing! I didn't kill you!"
After cursing, he wiped the sweat off his face, looked back at the swimming pool gate, exhaled, and stopped.
It should be fine.
He turned around and walked forward while panting, when he suddenly heard a muffled "click" sound.
Li Dapeng raised his eyes, his eyes widened, and his legs were shaking like sieves.
In front of me was the familiar swimming pool. A figure stood up tremblingly in the corner, his arms shaking back and forth as if they were boneless. He had no face, and his front was a mess of blood and flesh, with pieces of bright red flesh falling down.
Li Dapeng suddenly remembered that this was the second floor. He had been running for so long, how come he didn't even see the stairs?
——
Xu Zhi was running for his life frantically.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Xu Zhi covered his broken arm and limped forward.
His face was as pale as paper, and the excessive blood loss made the scene in front of his retina shake. Xu Zhi opened his mouth wide to gasp for breath, one hand supporting himself against the wall, and he had no strength left.
I can only wait for death...
Vaguely seeing the silver door handle, he pressed it with the last bit of hope, and his body suddenly became lighter and fell to the hard floor.
Xu Zhi was delighted instead. He quickly stood up and slammed the door shut, not caring whether the sound would attract the other party's attention, and fell to the ground exhausted.
He slapped himself in the face, unable to figure out how he had ended up like this.
He had just racked his brains thinking about how to fool Li Dapeng, but he didn't expect that when he pushed open the door of the utility room, he would find himself in this endless corridor.
Before he could figure out what was happening, a creature behind him, who knew whether it was a human or a ghost, slashed him with a knife. The gold coin helped him block it, but the second knife hit his abdomen directly. The dark liquid seeped into the wound and twisted his intestines.
He fled in a panic, but unexpectedly met Ye Lan. Ye Lan said that he was coerced by the boss of the copy, and said in tears that he regretted it. He also said that he did not blame himself and wanted to turn over a new leaf to help him escape.
Xu Zhi was overjoyed and followed him to hide in a room, but was stabbed in the face as soon as he entered the room.
That's how his arm was broken.
"You wait..." Xu Zhi's vision was blurred, his internal organs were in severe pain, and blood was flowing all over the floor from his wounds.
"Wait until I get out..." At this point, he was still dreaming of returning to the real world. When the time comes, he will definitely return all the suffering he has suffered to Ye Lan!
The sticky smell of blood under his hands was a bit pungent. Xu Zhi leaned against the door and listened, but there was no sound outside.
His tense nerves relaxed slightly, he lowered his eyes, and saw a series of bloody footprints at the crack of the door, as well as a friction sound close to his ears.
Alarm bells rang in his heart, and Xu Zhi didn't know where he got the strength from, but he just lay down on the floor. Then, the white tip of the knife smashed into the doorway he had just leaned against.
