Chapter 31 Apartment Copy (4)
“Buzz…”
Ning Hanqi picked up her phone and found that 507 wanted to add her as a friend.
She clicked to agree, even though she had been staring at herself unkindly from the beginning, or to be more precise, at her mobile phone.
"Some ghosts will pretend to be pitiful and sympathetic in order to lower the players' guard. Those three on the fifth floor might have been wiped out. Don't add everyone as your friend." Xia Yingnuan might not have noticed how awkward her tone was. "Put some restraint on your overflowing sympathy."
Ning Hanqi chuckled. "I just want to learn more about the situation on the 5th floor. If 507 is a survivor, she can provide information about the 5th floor. If she is not, I can also keep track of her movements."
Of course she could recognize her own treasure at a glance, so how come there was another one exactly the same?
Xia Yingnuan slowly stood up straight, her rationality gradually returning. Seeing that Ning Hanqi would not die for the time being, her expression turned cold again.
There was something strange about Ning Hanqi. Xia Yingnuan had many questions, but the first thing she asked was, "Why don't you use the rules to make me let go?"
There were intermittent weak coughs coming from the bedside, and it took her a long time to hear the weak voice.
"I use this... just to bring you out. I won't use it to restrain you." Ning Hanqi's voice was weak, and you might not be able to hear it if you didn't listen carefully.
"...You speak better than you sing." With the previous experience as a lesson, Xia Yingnuan didn't dare to believe her statement. Who knew if she was willing to risk her life just to deceive herself?
"Now that I'm out, why don't you unbind me?" Xia Yingnuan's hesitant voice quietly echoed in Ning Hanqi's mind, "I feel a little familiar here."
The word "familiar" she mentioned meant that she had been there before.
Ning Hanqi quietly wrote two words on her hand. Xia Yingnuan thought for a moment, then said, "Forget it. Let's not get involved at this time."
The two words Ning Hanqi wrote were asking her whether she wanted to go to the bottom floor to see the treasure. Xia Yingnuan thought it was better to play it safe.
At this moment, Xia Yingnuan noticed that the noise in the pipes at the bottom of the ship seemed to be getting louder and louder. She had heard before that there was a very tricky monster at the bottom, and she didn't want to confront it directly.
"Baby! Look! Baby!" The madman seemed extremely excited. He didn't even bother to guard against Xia Yingnuan. He directly held Gao Yu hostage and turned around to look at the dark end.
A faint red light appeared there, and someone who didn't know might think it was a warning light.
What is that?
The madman almost jumped up with excitement. He tried to go in, but due to Xia Yingnuan's power blocking him, he could only hide on the invisible "wall" again and again. Poor Gao Yu was trapped in front of it, so he was forced to crash into it again and again.
Gao Yu really wanted to curse, but in order not to irritate this madman, she had to hold it back.
After the red light appeared, Xia Yingnuan felt more and more uneasy. In order to protect two ordinary humans, she had to have some understanding of the situation here, so she explored the situation inside a little.
This discovery made her face change suddenly.
"Close your eyes!"
Xia Yingnuan didn't have time to explain and directly covered Ning Hanqi's eyes. The thing that made them least worried about Gao Yu was that he was obedient, so they did it without saying a word.
The faint red light in the distance was not the warning light as imagined. Xia Yingnuan could see that there was a room at the end of the darkness. The door of the room was open and red light was shining from there.
The so-called red light was actually a monster's huge crimson eyeball. The eyeball was much larger than the door, and it was pressed against the door frame. The protruding eyeball seemed to be squeezed out. What was even more unfortunate was that the monster's gaze was fixed on this side, and it discovered them!
It really is it!
Xia Yingnuan saw her own reflection in the red eyeball. The reflection was not of herself, who was pale but still looked like a human being, but the ugly posture of resentment, madness, and complete demonization that she least wanted to face.
"She" forced a strange smile at herself, with blood staining the corners of her mouth. In her arms was a bloody corpse. Even though the integrity of the corpse had been destroyed and the blood blurred her facial features, Xia Yingnuan could still recognize her identity at a glance.
The feeling of despair dominated her reason in an instant. Xia Yingnuan's strength was almost out of control. She almost rushed out and tore the reflection apart. Suddenly, an inexplicable chill ran up her back. Xia Yingnuan shuddered and came to her senses. She realized that her consciousness had been affected!
It was just a brief encounter, but she stepped into the trap without any awareness or preparation. You can imagine how strong the other party's mental ability is.
"Treasures, treasures! Treasures we pulled from the sea! The treasures are mine!" The madman laughed cheerfully and looked into the depths of the corridor, as if talking to someone, "Don't even think about snatching them from me, you fake! They're all mine!"
Is this madman talking to the reflection in his eyeballs?
Xia Yingnuan also tried her best to avoid making eye contact with the eyeball. Although the monster saw them, strangely, it didn't attack...
Xia Yingnuan, who had her head down and was on guard against the surroundings, suddenly found that the scene in front of her eyes turned blood red, and the power in her hands suddenly weakened. The strong smell of blood made her consciousness a little dazed.
She tried hard to open her eyes and looked into her arms, only to see the lifeless body of "Ning Hanqi", exactly the same as the reflection she had just seen in her eyes!
Xia Yingnuan's hands were shaking uncontrollably, but she forced herself to calm down. The wailing sounds beside her were particularly harsh. She looked up and saw that it was a person who looked exactly like the madman who was crying and hammering the red film.
Through the spherical red film, Xia Yingnuan saw "herself" and Ning Hanqi whose eyes were covered by her.
Her uneasy premonition became reality. She switched places with her "fake" self, and the copied reflection had the same strength as her.
"Xia Yingnuan" smiled at her, then gently placed his other hand on Ning Hanqi's neck, sending a signal that after replacing her, he would kill the person she cherished most.
The ghost next to Xia Yingnuan is probably the real madman. No, actually it is not crazy. What is crazy is its reflection in the eyeball, and that reflection has replaced it.
The power Xia Yingnuan had built to block the entrance to the lowest level was gradually disintegrating. Her reflection whispered in Ning Hanqi's ear, "I've thought about it. Since we still have time, let's go see what the treasure is it mentioned. I have a feeling it must be very important."
"...Okay." Ning Hanqi did not raise any objections.
The reflection bullied the person because his eyes were covered and he couldn't see anything, so he raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, glanced provocatively at the person who was trapped in the distance, and then whispered to Ning Hanqi in an ambiguous voice: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Ning Hanqi nodded and took the initiative to shake the other person's hand.
"No... If I unbind you, the game will forcibly take you back. Then, then..."
Ning Hanqi shook her head, and then the strong feeling of dizziness forced her to slow down.
In fact, Xia Yingnuan knew what would happen at that time without her saying it. It would be nothing more than completely becoming the "nutrient" of the game. No, it might be even worse than nutrient.
"But rather than becoming your tool, I would rather disappear along with the copy!" Xia Yingnuan approached her with resentment.
"I will find a way to free you from the shackles of the game completely. Don't worry, I will find a way, I will find a way..." Ning Hanqi's eyes went dark, and she subconsciously wanted to hold Xia Yingnuan's hand, but she dodged it lightly.
She lowered her head, her eyes hidden in the shadows red.
"Think of a way? Forget it, it's just a waste of effort." Xia Yingnuan looked down at her condescendingly with indifference in her eyes.
She is a ghost born from the copy. She can be made into a prop and brought out, but she can never escape the control of the game. Now it can only be said that her right to use is in Ning Hanqi's hands, and the final ownership still belongs to the game. After Ning Hanqi's death, she will still be "recycled".
Ning Hanqi said she would find a way? It was ridiculous and absurd. She was just a player who could barely protect herself. So many powerful ghosts couldn't find a way out. She didn't believe this little girl could find any way.
"Let me ask you, where did you get the other ring?" Xia Yingnuan pretended not to see her little action.
"This is... mine." Ning Hanqi took two breaths and struggled to sit up. Her misty eyes looked pitiful. She opened her pale lips and said, "You gave it to me."
Xia Yingnuan:? ? ?
Xia Yingnuan felt that either there was something wrong with her brain or there was something wrong with Ning Hanqi's brain. When did she give Ning Hanqi a ring?
Ning Hanqi took off his cross, took off the two rings and handed them to Xia Yingnuan.
The two rings were indeed identical, and they were obviously a couple. Most importantly, Xia Yingnuan saw that the inner rings of both plain rings were printed with X&N. She didn't know what this meant before, but now...
Xia He... Ning?
For some reason, these two words popped up in her mind.
Xia Yingnuan's face froze. She found that her thoughts were following Ning Hanqi again. Based on her previous experience, if she continued like this, she would sooner or later fall into Ning Hanqi's trap again.
This, this could be a coincidence.
"...I don't remember you entering my dungeon before, and you even said you were a new player." Xia Yingnuan felt that this person's words were completely inconsistent. "Why, now you're not?"
"I am indeed a new player. I didn't lie to you about this matter."
"Cough cough..." Ning Hanqi stood up with the help of the wall. She looked fragile and would be broken at any time. Xia Yingnuan frowned slightly.
"Come with me, will you?" Ning Hanqi curled his lips at her.
Xia Yingnuan followed him. She wanted to see what other tricks Ning Hanqi could play.
Ning Hanqi slowly walked to the balcony, holding on to the wall. It was raining heavily outside, so it was not good weather at all.
Xia Yingnuan stood beside her with her arms folded. The narrow balcony could only accommodate two people at the same time, so it didn't look like anything special.
Ning Hanqi wanted to push open the window, but because of its age, the window frame was a little deformed and it couldn't be pushed open without some force. The man who had just vomited blood pushed so hard that his arms were shaking, but he couldn't move the window at all.
"boom!"
Before 404 could finish his words, the door over there collapsed.
There was a scream and then there was no movement outside.
Ning Hanqi heard the footsteps that seemed to be dragging something passing by her door, then went upstairs and closed the door.
Then there was the same "bang bang" noise from upstairs as last night.
She sighed.
Then a pair of cold hands gently covered her ears, blocking out all noise, allowing her to sleep peacefully tonight.
