"Can you take me away? Being a god is so tiring." The lion dance said to Yueya with a smile.
This world is a painting drawn by Hei Ya. Maybe she moved the real Awakening Lion Town into the painting, or maybe it was just an illusory dream she created to fulfill the little lion's obsession.
Yueya doesn't need to pursue the truth. Since the little lion wants to go with her, she will take it away.
Even if the little lion has become an awakened NPC with independent consciousness, Yueya will agree to take it away.
At this point, Yue Ya no longer worried about alerting "the higher-ups". He had done many things against the main system, not just this one.
Yueya stretched out her hand to the little lion: "Then follow me."
The young lion dancer, whose facial features could not be seen clearly, laughed happily and disappeared. The furry lion dancer ran towards Yue Ya.
Yueya opened his arms and was thrown to the ground by it. Yueya gently touched the little lion's forehead and said, "From now on, you will be our companion. You will not be a god, but just our little lion."
The lion took two breaths and licked Yueya's forehead carefully.
Yueya was caught off guard, and the hair on his arms stood up. Yueya did not teach the little lion not to lick people randomly in the future, because he found that the curse on his body was ineffective!
Their bodies felt more relaxed than ever before. Yueya and Feifei Baofeng "grew" and returned to their original size.
Yueya lifted up Feifei and gave him a kiss: "Celebrate together!"
Fei Fei: “Meow meow meow!”
When old man Chen next door saw this scene, he excitedly beat the drum a few times, and there really was an atmosphere of universal celebration.
The lion dance became excited when it heard the drumbeats and wanted to lick Yueya and Feifei's fur.
"Wait." Yue Ya held down the lion and took a closer look. There was a silver spot in the center of its forehead. It was the key fragment that Yue Ya had been looking for!
Could it be that the setting of this dungeon is that the key fragment will only appear if the lion is helped to find himself? If so, this dungeon is too rebellious... but it is quite in line with Black Crow's style of doing things.
Yueya took off the key fragment from the lion's forehead, and a sharp corner emerged from its original position, making it look more majestic.
Yueya remembered that the southern lion has horns.
"boom--"
The dilapidated Lion Dance Temple collapsed completely, and abundant spiritual energy rushed out from under the ruins.
Smelling the scent of spiritual energy, Yue Ya's stomach growled and he licked his lower lip: "I'm hungry."
Eat well before leaving.
Yue Ya raised his hand, and the vast spiritual energy had a target and rushed towards him madly.
After relieving his hunger, Yue Ya slowed down and savored the taste of the spiritual energy.
These spiritual energies cleansed the remaining curse power and fatigue left in his body, making him feel refreshed and full of strength.
After absorbing the last bit of spiritual energy, Yue Ya opened his eyes, and even his pupils turned bright gold.
The town of Xingshizi was in ruins, with no one to be seen.
The little lion finally woke up from his illusory dream.
Feifei jumped into the ruins, dug out a sparkling gem with his claws, held it in his mouth, ran towards Yueya, and handed the gem to him like offering a treasure.
The owner loves gems the most, meow!
"Fei Fei is so good." Yue Ya pinched the gem and fed it to Fei Fei, then used his spiritual power to clean up the ruins, allowing the treasure buried underneath to see the light of day again.
Looking at these golden treasures and colorful blind boxes, Yueya patted the little lion and said sincerely: "It's great that you can find yourself."
The little lion tilted his head: “?”
[Congratulations to player "Crescent Moon" for successfully clearing the level. The exit passage will be opened in ten minutes. ]
Yueya put the treasure and blind box into the player’s backpack, took out the soul-hiding umbrella, and asked Fengfeng to take the little lion in.
Yueya picked up the heavy red umbrella and sighed, saying that although the umbrella was small, it contained the future of this game.
As soon as the exit passage was opened, Yue Ya was teleported back to the Black Crow Studio.
Yue Ya shook his dizzy head and looked at the seven paintings floating in the air. The painting that he passed had turned black and white, but the two paintings that Zhuang Yan and Yun Yu entered were still brightly colored, and even had a drop or two of blood seeping out.
Yue Ya looked at the time and saw that there were still ten hours left in the countdown.
It seems their copy is a bit tricky.
Yue Ya was confident in his companions, but the extra blood on the canvas was disturbing. He thought, if they didn't come out in two more hours, he would find a way to break into the painting.
Yueya piled the newly obtained blind boxes on the ground, intending to wait for his companions to come out and open them together.
The little ones wanted to come out to play, and they kept humming in the card space and the soul-hiding umbrella. The studio was quite safe, so Yueya agreed to let them out, but they were not allowed to touch the paintings inside.
The studio is not very big, but once the little ones come out, it becomes lively here.
They listened to Yueya the most and played very well. When the little lion was tired from playing, he lay on the carpet to rest. Feifei climbed on top of its head and licked its ears seriously, causing the little lion to purr comfortably.
Lulu held the puppet, Pangpang, and leaned against the little lion. She braided two strands of its mane and fell asleep. Fengfeng found a blanket and covered Lulu and Pangpang.
Seeing them sleeping together, Yue Ya also moved over, but his eyes were still fixed on the painting in the air.
Fortunately, an hour later, Yun Yu and Zhuang Yan came out one after another.
Both of them were injured, Zhuang Yan was the worst. Not only was his face covered in dust, but his clothes were also tattered. He could pass himself off as a Beggar Gang disciple by picking up a stick.
Yue Ya frowned and cast healing spell directly on them.
Yun Yu only suffered a superficial wound, which healed quickly: "Thank you."
Zhuang Yan stared at Yue Ya blankly, always feeling that something was wrong.
After measuring Yueya's height, Zhuang Yan suddenly realized: "Kid, how have you grown so much?"
"Don't call me cub," Yue Ya pursed her lips and corrected him: "I didn't grow up, I just recovered."
"Almost the same, so what's going on?" Zhuang Yan said as he looked behind Yue Ya and found the little lion: "You picked up another cub?"
Yueya nodded: "I picked up this auspicious little lion in the dungeon. It broke the curse on me."
Zhuang Yan: "Aren't you also a lucky little Pixiu?"
"..." Yue Ya: "I can only be considered half a Pi Xiu."
"When your bloodline is fully awakened, you shouldn't be cursed anymore," Zhuang Yan patted Yue Ya's shoulder and sighed, "Sorry, I don't have the key fragment in my copy. Did you get anything?"
Yue Ya took out the key fragment and said, "Yes."
"Where is Yunyu?" Zhuang Yan looked at Yunyu.
Yunyu took out a glass bottle and threw it to Yueya.
The bottle fell into Yueya's hands, and the things inside made crisp "clang" sounds.
Yueya opened the bottle and got the third key fragment.
Zhuang Yan lowered his eyes: "Then I am the only one who didn't find it this time."
Yunyu: "Normal situation."
Yueya: "We are lucky to find two out of three paintings."
Zhuang Yan looked at Yue Ya: "But I found something else that might be useful to you."
Zhuang Yan also took out a glass bottle - this kind of bottle is cheap, has good preservation effect, can preserve a wide variety of items, and is very popular among players.
There was a white feather in Zhuang Yan's small bottle. In order to get the feather, Zhuang Yan was burned by the fire for several hours and almost got his eyes burned out.
Although Zhuang Yan didn't say anything, Yue Ya guessed that it was hard-earned, so she said thank you when she took it.
The moment he got the feather in his hand, Yue Ya was sure that it was his own feather.
This idea is actually a bit strange. Yue Ya has never entered the copy that Zhuang Yan had, so how could a feather fall in it?
Could it be... the previous life?
Yue Ya was in mixed feelings. He carefully took out the feather, but before he could observe it carefully, a memory popped into his mind.
…
Every world full of spiritual energy has a patron saint. The world where Yue Ya lives once had a patron saint, a Pi Xiu that was hundreds of years old.
During the period when Pixiu was guarding the world, the weather was good and the mountains and rivers were safe. When Pixiu had nothing to do, he loved to transform into a human form and visit the human world. He cherished this world very much.
So whenever he went to a place he liked, he would bury a spiritual vein so that those beautiful places would never decay.
But one day, invaders appeared in this world, and the peace he was guarding was broken by the evil invaders.
No one knew where these invaders came from. The indigenous people called them "foreign demons". These demons killed people without blinking an eye and came in an endless stream. In a short period of time, they caused great suffering and rivers of blood.
In order to protect the world, Pixiu is either killing demons or on his way to kill demons, which eventually leads to the emergence of the mastermind behind all this, the demon god.
The demon's origin and appearance are unknown. He always hides in the dark fog. Sometimes he swings out huge tentacles, and sometimes he extends sharp claws, making it impossible to grasp his true form.
The Pixiu and the demon fought several times, but they could not decide the winner. If this continued, more people would die. The Pixiu finally decided to sacrifice his life to activate the spiritual veins that were buried underground, expel the demons, and seal off the world.
The demon was very angry, so at the last moment before being expelled, he grabbed the dying Pixiu and pulled out the divine vein on his back...
Yue Ya came out of his memories, sweating profusely.
He felt a sharp pain on his back and used healing magic on himself, but it had no effect at all. This was probably a psychological pain.
Yun Yu and Zhuang Yan were startled by his pale face.
"Yue Ya, how are you?"
"It's okay, I just remembered something."
The feather was wet with sweat from his palms. Yue Ya smoothed it with trembling fingertips and put it into the bottle with care.
Combining the memories he had seen in the spiritual veins of the present world before, Yue Ya can be sure that he is the reincarnation of the guardian god Pi Xiu.
The main god in this game should be the demon who once invaded his world and extracted his divine veins.
The demon never gave up on taking over his world, he just changed the way of invading.
Yue Ya's initial feeling was correct; it was indeed his destiny to enter this game.
If he had another chance, he could still protect his world, but it would definitely not be as tragic as last time.
Yue Ya looked at the painting floating in the air and thought: Does Black Crow know all this? Who is she? Why does she send awakened NPCs to me again and again?
Yun Yu frowned worriedly: "Yue Ya..."
"It's okay," Yue Ya raised her hand: "We need to find the last piece as soon as possible, so we need to open the blind box first."
There was only one chip left in the key, and the final fragment was hidden in the remaining three paintings.
This time, Yueya got a total of 18 blind boxes, Yunyu got 16, and Zhuang Yan got 15. These blind boxes were piled on the ground, which was quite spectacular.
Zhuang Yan sighed: "I used to fight hard for a chance to open a blind box, but now I can easily get more than a dozen. Life is really dreamy."
Yun Yu: "Wipe the blood off your face before you say the word casually."
Zhuang Yan smiled foolishly: "That's right, it's not that the copy is too easy, it's that we are better than before."
This time Zhuang Yan learned his lesson. He rubbed Yue Ya first, then rubbed the little lion, and only opened the blind box after he felt full of auspiciousness.
These blind boxes are all theirs, so the contents are already determined. However, in order not to dampen Zhuang Yan's enthusiasm, Yue Ya did not tell him the truth.
Zhuang Yan opened the blind box nervously, and let out a low exclamation when something good came out.
After opening the last blind box, Zhuang Yan almost jumped up with excitement: "Family, I opened a rare skill card!"
Rare skills are the highest skill cards they currently have. Their appearance rate is the same as that of rare items, but they are more difficult to produce than rare items.
It is indeed worth celebrating that Zhuang Yan was able to unlock a rare skill.
Yun Yu smiled and asked him, "What skill is it?"
"Wind skills," Zhuang Yan opened his hands, and a gust of wind blew around him instantly: "From now on, I can be very powerful."
Yun Yu: "Don't use idioms carelessly."
"How was your harvest?"
Yun Yu: "Not bad, there are two rare items and a skill card for fake death."
"I like it." Zhuang Yan looked at Yue Ya, with light in his eyes: "Where's Yue Ya?"
Yueya: "Two rare skill cards."
"Oh..." Zhuang Yan responded casually at first, then suddenly realized: "Huh??"
You said it in such a nonchalant tone, making me seem so unworldlyqvq.
"This is the routine operation of Pixiu," Yun Yu spread his hands, "I'm more curious about what skill it is."
Yue Ya: "One of them is a skill card that randomly enhances the effect of a skill. As long as you stack this card, the effect of other skills can be randomly increased by 2-10 times. It's a luck-based card."
Zhuang Yan: "Although your words are a bit exaggerated, I still grasped the key point. This skill card is tailor-made for you, right? Have you ever lost by luck?"
Yue Ya smiled and said, he has never lost before.
"What about the other one?"
Yue Ya's smile deepened: "It's also a nature skill, God's Thunder."
It's super destructive, and he loves it.
If I have a chance I will definitely use it to blast the demons, Pixiu smiles:).
After the blind boxes were opened, the points from the previous instance were also settled. The three players received upgrade notifications again. Due to the large number of blind boxes and the considerable treasures, Zhuang Yan and Yun Yu were upgraded three levels in a row, and Yue Ya was even more exaggerated, directly upgraded to U level.
What Zhuang Yan said before was correct. If there were more copies here, Yue Ya would be able to reach close to the maximum level after training here.
U-level has greater authority, and Yue Ya also received a notification that she had entered the server-wide rankings.
There are a total of 500 players on this ranking list, and Yueya's overall strength ranks 400th.
This list is open to all servers, but they never care.
Yue Ya took a look and found that according to system statistics, there are currently 200 U-level players, 130 V-level players, 100 W-level players, 50 X-level players, 20 Y-level players, and 0 Z-level players, which is the maximum level.
Yun Yu sighed after reading it: "It seems that U level is already a threshold. There are very few players who can move up."
Zhuang Yan only said: "After coming out of the next copy, Yue Ya will rise again."
Yun Yu smiled and said, "With such a terrifying leveling speed, Yue Ya is probably the best in the entire server."
"Our goal is no longer to be the first in the server, and reaching the maximum level doesn't mean much," Yue Ya turned his wrist and said, "Let's go into the dungeon."
Yue Ya asked the kids to go back to their backpack space and wait for their two companions to finish choosing before they looked at the last painting.
This painting is slightly larger than the others and depicts an ordinary movie theater with a man standing in front of the screen, holding hands with a shadow on the screen.
It sounds like a fantasy romantic work, but the hunched shadow with thorns all over its back directly defines this painting as a horror and supernatural work.
Yueya touches the canvas and enters the world in the painting——
"Ding." A message reminder sounded, and Yueya's hands were faster than his brain, and he brought the phone to his eyes.
"【Movie Ticket】The movie you purchased is about to start! Please check in on time..."
Occasionally someone passed by, and Yueya looked up and saw the glowing sign of the cinema.
He checked his phone and found the electronic QR code for the movie ticket. It was a horror movie called "Stalking," and the ticket was for the midnight show, which started at 11:30 p.m.
In addition to this movie ticket, there is also a coupon for a single happy meal in the phone, which can be exchanged for popcorn and Coke at the front desk.
Yueya thought about it, opened the ticket purchasing app and searched for the introduction of this movie.
The cover of this movie is very cliché - a man is walking on a quiet street, and behind him stands a ragged woman with pale and cracked skin and half of her face covered by long black hair.
"bite."
Yueya received another text message.
[The movie is about to start, are you there?]
It was from an unfamiliar number, the text message was unsigned, and I had no idea who the other party was.
At first glance, the tone sounded like someone making an appointment to watch a movie together.
But Yueya not only bought one ticket, but also bought a single happy meal, which didn't seem like he had made a date with anyone.
To put it another way, even if they made an appointment, they could buy tickets and snacks separately, which probably means they are not familiar with each other.
Yue Ya did not reply to the text message, but saved the phone number with the note “?”.
There was still some time left, so Yueya went to exchange for a single Happy Meal and went to check in with them.
Although it was a midnight show, there were quite a few audience members. The thick carpet absorbed the footsteps of passers-by, and the sound of their conversation became clearer.
"I heard that this horror movie is very scary. People online suggest not to watch it alone, especially at the midnight show. Many people said that after watching the midnight show and going home, they always felt like something was following them."
“Is it that mysterious?”
"How could there be no ghosts? Especially in this cinema," the boy deliberately lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Haven't you heard? This cinema used to be haunted! Maybe as you watch, you will find that the people sitting in front, behind, and around you are not human."
"Is this true? Don't scare me." The girl next to the boy was obviously a little panicked.
"Of course it's true, so you must hold my hand tightly later." The boy said seriously.
"You made up a ghost story to scare me just for this!" The girl pretended to hit the boy, and the boy ran away.
The young couple ran into the theater, playing and laughing.
Yue Ya looked at the dark entrance of the theater, thoughtfully.
What the boy said should not be all made up. This place is definitely haunted, but I don’t know how.
Two more people passed by Yueya while chatting. They were wearing black baseball caps with the brims pulled down so low that their faces could not be seen clearly.
"I heard this movie is very interesting, especially the part in the middle where the ghosts chase people."
"Really? Then enjoy it later."
"Of course, this is an interactive movie, the tickets are very expensive, I had a hard time getting one."
An interactive movie with expensive tickets?
Yueya looked at the electronic ticket again and it was clearly a 2D movie with a 10% discount, and the ticket price was 39.4 yuan.
Yue Ya frowned, followed the two people into the theater, and found his seat.
Fourth row, seventh seat.
Coincidentally, the young couple was sitting next to him.
The girl was stunned when she saw Yue Ya, and the boy, with a sense of crisis, asked to change seats with his girlfriend: "Baby, my seat has a better view, you sit over here!"
The girl was a little unhappy, but still changed her position.
The boy sat next to Yueya, straightened his back and blocked his girlfriend's view.
Yue Ya found it a little funny, curled her lips and said nothing.
People entered the theater one after another, and the seats in the front were filled.
Yue Ya looked back and found that the two audience members wearing baseball caps were sitting behind him.
The two men still kept their heads down, their faces hidden in the shadow of their hats. Yue Ya felt that they had noticed her gaze, but they never raised their heads, as if... they couldn't raise their heads at all.
Yue Ya looked back and noticed that there seemed to be a mark on the two men's necks. Just as she was about to take a closer look, the lights in the theater suddenly went out.
The big screen lit up and began playing commercials. Nothing could be seen clearly in this light, so Yue Ya had to turn around and sit down.
He turned his phone to silent mode, and another message popped up.
[I'm here, I see you.]
Yueya subconsciously looked to the side. There were two empty seats on the right, and to the right was an aisle. No one was looking at him.
There were two sticky eyes behind him, probably those two men in hats were staring at him. The distance was too close, and Yue Ya felt a chill on the back of his neck.
Yue Ya still did not reply to the message. He turned his head and looked at the big screen lazily.
The commercials are over and the movie is officially about to begin.
Late at night, the old street was dead silent. The broken signboards flickered from time to time, dyeing the leaves on the side an eerie red.
"Tatta, tatta..." A young man walked into the alley. He walked in a hurry, as if he wanted to get rid of something.
The camera zoomed in, and the cold sweat on the man's forehead and his trembling pupils were magnified on the screen, conveying the silent fear to the audience.
The man moved his Adam's apple and finally mustered up the courage to look back.
The streets were empty, no one was in sight.
"Squeak..." A fat rat jumped out from the garbage heap, and the man was startled and shuddered.
He wiped his sweat and quickly sent a message to his friend:
[It seems like someone is following me, but I can't see him.]
After sharing the location with his friend, the man quickened his pace and walked inside. His back looked a little flustered and he almost tripped over a stone on the road.
Behind the man, a strange shadow appeared on the mottled wall, twisted into two words on the wall - following.
At this time, Yueya's mobile phone screen lit up, and in order not to disturb others watching the movie, he had dimmed the brightness.
He shielded the screen with his sleeve and read the new message.
[Is the movie good?]
