"Activate." As Yue Ya finished speaking, the blank prop card flashed silver light.
Everyone held their breath and waited. It was the first time they saw an unactivated prop card. It was like opening a blind box. It was all about the heartbeat. No one knew what would come out.
If a useless prop comes out, wouldn't it be a false alarm?
The light disappeared, and an evil black hand appeared above the prop card, with an extremely long index finger extending forward, as if it would extend out of the card and poke Yue Ya's forehead.
After listening to the system prompt, Yue Ya showed a sly smile.
Xiao Feng couldn't hear the system prompts, but he could tell whether it was a good item by Yue Ya's expression: "Is it a good item?"
Little Bear made a bold guess: "Rare item?"
Yue Ya replied: "A rare item."
Xiaofeng and Xiaoxiong both showed surprised expressions.
Xiaofeng: "There are rare items in the C-level copy!"
Little Bear shook his head and looked at Yue Ya: "No, this should be what you got in the last instance, right?"
Yue Ya nodded. Although the previous copy was a B-level copy, it had a rare adventure mode, so it was reasonable to draw a rare item card.
Xiao Feng looked at the black hand on the card curiously: "What is the use of this item?"
Yueya explained simply: "This item is called 'Offline Card'. You can designate any NPC to be offline for 5 minutes during the game. After the time is up, the NPC will be online at the same location. However, it can only be used once."
"Using it once is enough. Use it on the boss and we'll win this time!" Little Bear smiled and clapped his hands: "I want to get some of your good luck, too."
Xiao Feng smiled contentedly: "I feel so lucky to be able to team up with me."
[This is a rare item. You can’t buy it even if you have points. And it’s such a powerful item. I’m really jealous.]
[Little Pixiu always gets these good things, it’s so cool to follow his live broadcast]
[Wouldn’t it be even more exciting to follow the live broadcast and give rewards to get the luck of the little Pixiu!]
Yue Ya put away the card and curled his eyes: "The innocent victims must unite. Let's go find Black Crow first."
Before leaving the jewelry store, Yue Ya took the painting at the door away.
As it got closer to midnight, the eerie atmosphere in the mall became more and more intense, and they hurried to the painting hall.
"Ouch!" The little bear tripped over something and almost fell down. Yueya helped her up in time.
Xiao Feng stopped, turned around and asked, "Are you okay?"
"My feet hurt so much, let me see what's so hard." Little Bear lowered her head and searched the ground. The thing that tripped her was kicked to the side of the corridor. It looked like a wooden hammer.
She picked it up and took a look. The wooden hammer was dark in color, felt heavy, and exuded a strange aura.
The next second, she heard a separate reminder from the system and her eyes widened in disbelief: "This is an important prop!"
Xiao Feng went over to watch: "You can still be tripped by props while walking on the road. Did you really get some of my luck?"
Yue Ya felt that this scene was familiar. He thought about it and realized that the players who were in the last dungeon with him had also tripped over the props. At that time, the players also said that they were taking advantage of his good luck, but he just laughed it off. Now history is repeating itself.
Yue Ya raised an eyebrow: "What kind of prop is this?"
"Auction hammer. However, this item is a bit special. You'd better listen to the system prompts yourself." After saying that, Little Bear handed him the auction hammer.
Yue Ya took the auction hammer and received a prompt:
[The careless auctioneer accidentally lost his auction hammer. If you return the hammer, you may get his thank-you fee. Should you return it? ]
The little bear touched his pointed chin and said, "To return or not to return, that is the question."
"Maybe I can get a reward, but I may not get it. But if I don't return it, I will definitely get the auction hammer." Yue Ya returned the auction hammer and narrowed his eyes: "I will choose not to return it."
"This is a reading comprehension question," Little Bear hammered his palm, "Then I won't return it."
[If you choose not to return it, you will obtain temporary auctioneer qualifications with the auction hammer, and can enter the top floor auction tonight and host an auction.]
"You are right. This hammer belongs to us and we can host an auction." Little Bear thought about it and decided to give the auction hammer to Yueya: "You take it. It will be more useful in your hands."
Their goal was to beat Lin Ao to the punch and pass the level successfully, so Yue Ya did not refuse.
He put away the auction hammer, turned around, and was confronted with a pale fake face. The cold touch made him shiver.
"You..." As soon as the dummy's mouth moved, Yue Ya pressed his face with his hands and pushed hard!
With a "thump", the dummy's head fell to the ground. It did not chase after it, but pressed Yueya's shoulders with both hands: "I just found a replacement, and you ruined it again. You are too much! Give me back my head!"
The voice sounded familiar. Yue Ya looked down and saw that the dummy was wearing a red pair of shorts. It was the dummy whose head was eaten by Fei Fei in the watch shop.
"This is my friend." Yueya heard the little butterfly's voice: "How did he become like this?"
Yueya: “…” You’re wrong. The headless dummy in red shorts is the owner of the watch shop and an old acquaintance of Little Butterfly.
The watch shop owner froze for a moment: "I think I heard my friend's voice, Little Butterfly... are you here?"
Before the boss could complain, Yueya took out a piece of lard candy and stuffed it into his pocket: "It was all a misunderstanding before, don't be angry. Since we are both friends of Little Butterfly, I will definitely find you a better head than the original one."
[You used the item "Lard Candy" on the NPC, and the NPC has softened his heart for you~]
The boss took the lard candy he gave and his attitude changed 180 degrees: "Are you also a friend of Little Butterfly? If you can find a new head for me, I will forgive you."
"..." The boss said, and then suddenly thought of something: "Wait, can there be a better brain than the original one?"
Yueya cleared his throat and looked at the time: "It's too late, let's hurry up and go."
The boss followed Yueya in a daze, feeling like he was on a pirate ship.
Arriving at the painting hall on the second floor, the familiar oil painting was still hanging at the entrance, but this time, the black crow was not in the painting.
Yue Ya was sure that she would not leave here, and stepped into the painting hall without hesitation.
All the portraits in the hall turned their eyes to him at the same time, and a chill instantly enveloped him.
There was no sign of Heiya in the painting hall. Yue Ya, despite the overwhelming hostility, went straight to Heiya's self-portrait.
The self-portrait was still there, and Yue Ya stopped to take a breath.
The woman in the painting, wearing an exaggerated black hat, moved her eyes, curved her scarlet lips, and said faintly, "You dare to come back? You are quite courageous."
When Xiaofeng came here, his mind automatically recalled his own death in the painting, and he couldn't help but look away.
Yueya took out an old watch and said straight to the point: "Be patient, look who I brought with me."
When Black Crow sensed the little butterfly's breath, his expression suddenly changed, and he stared at Yue Ya fiercely: "What is your intention in tricking my sister out?"
Yueya blinked innocently: "I didn't lie to her."
The old watch emitted a faint black mist. Little Butterfly spoke softly, "Sister, he really didn't lie to me. I wanted to come out on my own. I don't want to hide anymore. This time I will face it with you, okay?"
Black Crow restrained his temper and said seriously: "Do you know what this failure means?"
Little Butterfly's voice was trembling, but her attitude was firm: "I know, but I have made a decision and I will not stop."
Yue Ya stared at the portrait, his eyes clear as a stream under the moon: "We need you."
Black Crow fell silent. The other portraits quietly turned their gazes away, reducing their presence. The empty painting hall was dead silent. Yue Ya seemed to be able to see through the illusion and see the ruins covered with cobwebs.
After a while, Black Crow said, "Lin Ao will definitely show up at the auction tonight. We will meet there."
The self-portrait turned into a blank, and the brightly lit hall turned into a dusty ruin.
Yue Ya lowered her eyes and smiled: "Let's go too."
You need to take the elevator to go to the top floor. It was almost midnight and the elevator was crowded with people.
Little Bear said, "We have elevator cards, can you squeeze in?"
Yueya: "Push."
After the elevator arrived, the NPCs waiting for the elevator not only did not go in, but instead all backed away, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying.
On the contrary, Feifei was very excited. He hugged Yueya's neck and rubbed it, making milky "meow" sounds continuously.
Yue Ya looked at the elevator that had not yet closed and understood: "Is your friend in there?"
Feifei: “Meow meow meow.” That’s right, meow.
Feifei’s friend has a big appetite, no wonder these “people” don’t dare to go in.
"Brother will take you to play with it." Yueya walked forward, and the NPCs looked at him sideways and whispered.
"They actually want to get into the elevator. Don't they know what's in the elevator?"
"Shh, don't worry about them. Once the big brother in the elevator is full, we can take the elevator."
Yueya listened to every word, but did not stop - sorry, this brother is our Feifei's friend.
As soon as Yue Ya and the others entered the elevator, the door closed automatically.
There was no one else in the elevator except them, but the place was filled with an oppressive feeling that could not be ignored.
Yueya used the unlimited-load elevator card, Feifei jumped to the ground, walked to the corner and wagged his tail.
A black hand appeared out of nowhere and touched the fat head. It lay on the ground with its tender belly exposed, and its two front paws were bent comfortably, like two soft marshmallows.
[Touch it! Touch it! Bury your face in the cat's belly!]
[My friend, can you do it? If not, let me do it!]
Another black hand appeared in the air and rubbed his fat cheeks.
Yue Ya invited this friend for the second time: "Would you like to go to the dance with us?"
The ballroom is the final battlefield. If it doesn't go there, Feifei will have to say goodbye here.
Fei Fei opened his eyes and looked into the void expectantly: "Meow?"
The elevator just reached the top floor. Yue Ya didn't hear the answer and waved to Fei Fei: "Fei Fei, say goodbye to your good friend. Next time..."
He wanted to say goodbye if we were destined to meet again, but how could they still be destined to meet again after leaving this copy?
"Let's go together." A strange and deep male voice came from the corner of the elevator, and a young man wearing a black shirt and a white mask appeared in front of Fei Fei.
The mask only had a ferocious mouth drawn on it, which was very fierce and contradictory to the gentle temperament of the young man, creating a strong sense of contradiction. The last time I saw this friend, he only had a huge mouth, which was very different from his current appearance. Yue Ya was a little uncomfortable, but judging from Fei Fei's reaction, his friend should have always looked like this.
The masked young man picked up Fei Fei and nodded to Yue Ya: "Please."
The top floor was bustling with people, and it was extremely noisy. The players put on their masks and entered the party.
Their masks are a symbol of their identity, and even though the horns were covered this time, they still attracted a lot of attention.
Yue Ya ignored the looks. As soon as he entered the room, he found that there were several cubes covered with black cloth in the central dance floor.
A red cordon was set up around the dance floor and no one approached.
Little Bear muttered under his breath, "What's under those black cloths? It didn't seem like there was anything last night."
The masked young man said, "That's the item for tonight's auction."
"Auction item?"
Yue Ya heard a dull crash and saw one of the cubes shake heavily. The black cloth on top of it slid away, revealing a corner of the cage that was shining with cold light.
——It turns out these are cages.
Soon a waiter entered the dance floor and straightened the messy black cloth.
"I can't see it anymore. Are the cages filled with living people?" Xiaofeng clenched his fingers nervously.
Yue Ya pursed her lips and said, "It's the players who didn't get the room cards last night."
