Chapter 98 Sea Amusement Park (Part 7)
After confirming that the tentacle monster was dead, Xia Yingnuan returned to Ning Hanqi's side in case the monster's cry attracted anything else.
Only then did she realize that someone was staring at her. Xia Yingnuan turned her head and met Zhuang Meng's gaze.
“…” He was so focused on killing monsters that he forgot there was Zhuang Meng here.
There were so many people coming and going in the dungeon that Xia Yingnuan could only remember a few of them. The reason she had an impression of Zhuang Meng was because she was indeed capable and she had been jumping around in her dungeon without dying, which had attracted her attention. However, Zhuang Meng had adjusted her appearance, so Xia Yingnuan didn't recognize her immediately when she first met her.
This Zhuang Meng was undoubtedly the culprit that made her tremble with fear even when browsing forums! Every time Ning Hanqi saw those strange posts, although she wouldn't say anything, she would sulk for days, and Xia Yingnuan didn't know how to comfort her.
Or maybe I'm too nice to these humans, so they take advantage of the fact that I can't get out of the dungeon and dare to talk nonsense in the forum!
"Look." Xia Yingnuan was not satisfied with what she said, and she took action, grabbing the ghost girl's clothes at the waist and gathering them up to highlight her waist before saying, "Look, it looks so good like this. Your skirt is so big and baggy, it's no different from pajamas."
The female ghost in white was stunned at first, then she opened her mouth fiercely and wanted to eat her.
"Poor thing, so pitiful." Xia Yingnuan calmly stepped aside. "Not only did your company give you such ugly uniforms, they didn't even give you food."
Mu Ling had completely forgotten her fear at this moment. She fell on the bed laughing, holding her stomach, and laughing uncontrollably.
Everyone upstairs looked at each other in confusion, "What's going on?"
"He's screaming and laughing at the same time, what on earth is going on?"
"Brother Cui, should we go up and take a look?" asked the fat guy Yang Wenfei.
Based on what just happened, it was not difficult for Xia Yingnuan to confirm that this speculation definitely existed.
From all these, we can only conclude that in this copy, ghosts cannot harm them?
Xia Yingnuan couldn't be 100% sure of this result, but she would always have the opportunity to verify it.
Of course, she couldn't stay here forever relying on the uncertain assumption that 'ghosts can't harm the anchor'.
Since existence has its reasons, there must be some way to break the rules.
Finally, she saw a black clinker bag in the toilet tank, took out the bag with her hands wrapped in a towel from the side.
"Sister, what did you find?" Mu Ling didn't dare to stay in the room alone, and ran over in fright.
"I don't know." Xia Yingnuan answered honestly, putting the bag in the sink and slowly opening it.
"It can't be something bad." Mu Ling was so scared that she pressed against the door frame, covering her eyes tightly.
"It seems..." Xia Yingnuan raised the corner of her mouth when she saw what was in the bag, "Not scary."
"Ah?" Mu Ling slowly came over.
"It looks like clothes." Xia Yingnuan took out the clothes and found that they looked familiar. She raised an eyebrow and said, "Isn't this the one from the young lady just now..."
"Those pajamas." Mu Ling covered her mouth after saying that. She never expected that she would be led astray by Xia Yingnuan.
"There seems to be something underneath." Xia Yingnuan put the clothes aside and took out the things under the bag.
It was a wallet, a men's.
"This doesn't belong to that young lady." After confirming that there was nothing scary in the bag, Mu Ling became bolder.
Xia Yingnuan untied the towel in her hand and looked through her wallet.
This is a crocodile wallet, a famous brand, suitable for people between the ages of 30 and 40. When I opened it, I found a photo inside.
The photo shows a man and a woman. The woman is the young lady just now, and the man is a middle-aged man about forty years old.
The two of them acted very intimately, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that their relationship was unusual.
"Sister, it seems that there is still a part of this photo that is not exposed." Mu Ling took out the photo from inside and slowly unfolded it.
[Fuck, a love triangle?]
[What I want to say is, this man is not surrounded by women. 】
[No, look, the lady in white and the man are both wearing wedding rings, but the short-haired woman next to them is not.]
[Oh my god, it really is.]
[So, this is the involvement of a mistress? ]
Xia Yingnuan also saw the relationship between the three people in the photo. The short-haired girl was standing next to the long-haired girl. From her position, it was clear that the short-haired girl was the best friend of the girl in white, and the middle-aged man was the husband of the girl in white, which could be seen from the wedding rings on their hands.
"Did you see the ring on that young lady's finger just now?" Xia Yingnuan asked.
Mu Ling thought for a moment and shook her head, saying, "I didn't notice." She blushed a little when she said this because she was so scared that she hardly opened her eyes the whole time.
Xia Yingnuan narrowed her eyes, then walked out of the bathroom with the photo. Standing in the room, she asked, "That young lady? Can you come out for a moment?"
The blood on the wall was still flowing, as if it was the tears of blood shed by the young lady. Xia Yingnuan became bolder and asked, "Do you have anything to say to us?"
In the corner, a white shadow gradually emerged from the wall.
Xia Yingnuan pointed the photo at her and asked, "Is the man in this photo your husband?"
When the young lady in white saw the photo, she burst into tears in pain, then became angry and began to make endless sharp sounds, which did not sound like the kind made by humans. Xia Yingnuan covered her ears tightly, trying to block the sound.
"Sister." Mu Ling's ears began to bleed. Xia Yingnuan saw it and was about to say something, but then she felt a wet and hot feeling on her ear. She raised her finger in front of her eyes and found that it was blood.
The scream of the young lady in white made their ears bleed. If they continued to scream like this, they would become deaf sooner or later.
"Miss, if you keep screaming, we won't be able to help you."
"Hahahaha." The young lady in white suddenly burst into laughter, and then started crying, with blood and tears covering her face.
Mu Ling was so scared that she hid behind Xia Yingnuan, but her eyes were fixed on the girl in white in the corner. For the first time, she was not afraid of this ghost sister, and even felt a little sorry for her.
"You promised to treat me like a little princess and protect me for the rest of my life, but I never expected that this dream would be shattered so quickly." At this point, she smiled sadly and said, "And all this was done by my best friend of more than ten years." At this point, she cried even more sadly.
"Why? What did I do wrong? Didn't I treat her well? Why do you treat me like this?" The female ghost in white cried and screamed.
"Miss, please spare me. Don't provoke us on our own!" Xia Yingnuan shouted.
Xia Yingnuan and Mu Ling also had tears and blood in their eyes. This was completely a side effect of this copy.
The two looked at each other with tears in their eyes.
"Why, why!" The female ghost kept shouting this sentence over and over again.
"Miss, this isn't your problem at all." Xia Yingnuan said, "Think about it, one doesn't cherish you, and the other is trying to steal your girl. What a perfect match this scumbag and this bitch is. So, stay away from scumbags and bitches, and you'll find this world is a beautiful place!"
The young lady in white looked at the photo and said, "I really want to go back to the past with them, back to the time when we first started." At this point, she looked at the two of them with her white pupils and showed a weird smile, "So, one of you must stay here with me today until you help me find them." After saying that, before Xia Yingnuan could react, she grabbed Mu Ling.
"Sister, save me, save me..." Mu Ling shouted and struggled.
Everything happened so fast. When Xia Yingnuan wanted to catch her, the female ghost in white had already pulled Mu Ling and disappeared into the wall.
"Mu Ling!" Xia Yingnuan slapped the wall and shouted, but everything that just happened seemed like an illusion. The room returned to its original state and the door opened. At the same time, she heard a system push sound from her mobile phone, but she didn't have time to read it at the moment.
"What's going on?" Li Zhi and others rushed in from outside the door and saw that Xia Yingnuan was the only one left in the room.
"Why are you alone? Where's that little sister?"
"Yeah, where did that little sister go?"
Gao Qiang made a sarcastic remark nearby, "Someone must have let that little sister take the blame in order to save his own life."
[Tsk tsk tsk, Brother Qiang is really becoming more and more disgusting. ]
[That's right, relying on the fact that he's made it through a few dungeons, he bullies newbies over and over again.]
[I think Brother Qiang will only be able to survive in C-rank and D-rank dungeons forever.]
[After all, only here can he feel what it's like to be the boss.]
Cui Ming interrupted him, thinking that Gao Qiang was too shameless to resort to such despicable means for a little girl. He said to everyone, "Let's go downstairs first."
"But what about that little girl?" Li Zhi and the others who had just entered the dungeon could not accept such an atmosphere for a while, so they found it hard to accept that they just ignored the disappearance of a little girl.
Cui Ming said: "If you don't leave here when the time comes, you will stay in this space forever."
Thinking that the 4th floor didn't exist, everyone rushed out of the door in fear. Before leaving, Xia Yingnuan glanced at the room again and thought of what the white-clothed ghost had just said. She said firmly, "Mu Ling, wait for me."
Because she had to rescue Mu Ling, Xia Yingnuan's expression was no longer casual, but became serious.
Since the little sister trusts her so much, she has to take responsibility.
Cui Ming and the others analyzed, "The first day's mission is complete. We'll proceed to the second day's mission tomorrow."
"Is it just like what is said in the mission brief, one person less in the team on the first day, and two less on the second day?" said a girl among the newcomers.
"One last thing. A group of men and women came on the fourth day. Does this mean we all have to disappear?" another boy guessed.
Cui Ming was afraid that they would overthink things and do something unpredictable, so he stood up and interrupted them, saying, "This is a C-rank instance. There's no life-threatening situation."
"What about the little girl's disappearance?" someone questioned.
"As long as we find what she wants, she will naturally let her sister go." Having said this, Cui Ming looked at Xia Yingnuan and said, "Am I right, Miss Xia?"
Xia Yingnuan nodded, and then her eyes fell on the Hell APP software on her mobile phone again.
The software push sound she just heard was actually sent by the Hell APP software. It was a side quest. If completed, she could get 20 points, which is equivalent to two D-level copies. This surprised her and made her very happy.
This surprise was not only because she could get extra points, but also because the side quest she received gave her a clue on how to rescue Mu Ling.
[Side Quest 1: Fulfill the White Ghost's Wish! +20 points]
[Side quest description: Before the end of the main quest, if you can fulfill the white-robed ghost's wish, you can save the missing person.]
When she saw everyone's reactions, she knew that no one had received this side quest, so was this quest hers alone?
Thinking of this, she bit her thumb nail and pondered what her next step should be.
Cui Ming said, "Everyone go back to your rooms and rest. At 11:30 pm, gather in the first floor lobby to start the next day's mission."
"Brother Cui, where is the mission location for the next day? We can go and take a look during the day."
"Yes, yes. It's good to understand. It will give us a better idea when we go there in the evening."
Li Zhi and his friends, who originally wanted to be independent and never rely on the old anchors, panicked for a moment because of Mu Ling's disappearance and couldn't help but turn to Cui Ming.
Of course, another reason for their big changes was Xia Yingnuan.
When she and Mu Ling were in the same room, why did the female ghost catch Mu Ling but not her? Is it really as Brother Qiang said, that she pushed the little sister out in order to save her own life?
Seeing her sitting alone in the corner with a look of being out of tune with the group, everyone felt that she was feeling guilty and too embarrassed to see them.
Xia Yingnuan, who was inexplicably morally kidnapped by everyone, had no idea what these people were thinking. At this moment, she was determined to find a way to rescue Mu Ling.
After returning to the room, Xia Yingnuan did not sleep well, with her brows furrowed.
At 11:30 pm, everyone gathered in the lobby on the first floor.
Xia Yingnuan was the last one to arrive at the hall.
Cui Ming said, "Now that everyone is here, let's go to our second destination."
"I checked the swimming pool during the day, and there's nothing different. It's even bigger."
"I even swam in it during the day today."
"You're really bold!"
Several old anchors did not speak, but several new anchors were discussing, as if they had forgotten Mu Ling's disappearance.
Xia Yingnuan was still walking at the back. For the first time, she had some different feelings about this live broadcast platform that appeared out of nowhere.
This live streaming platform is too weird and too disgusting. It will show some different things.
"We're here." Standing in front of the swimming pool, Cui Ming and his friends stopped, and the people following them also stopped one after another.
"I don't think I need to explain the second task to you," Cui Ming said, pushing his glasses.
The newlyweds who were originally talking fell silent in an instant, and the atmosphere became eerily quiet.
Cui Ming said: "It will still be a lottery."
Several veteran anchors took the number plates from him, while several new anchors backed off.
Only then did they remember the missing Mu Ling.
"You...you go." The male college student pushed a girl in front of him.
"Gu Hua?!" The girl was shocked and looked back at him in disbelief.
Gu Hua didn't dare to look into her eyes, his gaze was wandering.
The girl's name is Ai Jiajia, and she is a couple with Gu Hua. They are considered the most enviable couple in everyone's eyes. They have been together since high school and are still together in college. This love was not destroyed by going to college, but was exposed because of this inexplicable live broadcast.
"I'm not going either." Another woman next to her also stepped back. She was a housewife with a happy family. She worked part-time as a small anchor. This time she came here to appear on a variety show and to relax and spend a vacation. However, she didn't expect to encounter such a thing suddenly.
She has a husband and children at home. She can't die, and she doesn't want to die yet.
Li Zhi clenched his fists and became timid.
Xia Yingnuan then stepped forward and said, "You probably don't know that the ghosts in this dungeon can't harm us."
Everyone's eyes fell on her.
[Oh my, how can the anchor be so honest and say this.]
[Those veteran anchors didn't mention it, so why did you, the anchor, mention it? ]
[Anchor, some veteran anchors know that C-rank dungeon monsters aren't allowed to hurt people, but they're keeping it a secret because they don't want to take responsibility.]
If the ghost's wish can be fulfilled, then those who were taken away by the ghost can still come back. But if it cannot be fulfilled, then they will completely become part of the dungeon.
[So, the saying 'C-rank dungeon monsters don't hurt people' became something that senior streamers didn't say.]
[Alas, I can only say that the anchor is too young. ]
"Can't be hurt?" Several new anchors looked at each other, but the old anchors remained silent, neither denying nor confirming.
"What happened to the little girl who disappeared?" Li Zhi asked.
"I think..." Xia Yingnuan glanced at a few veteran streamers, curled her lip, and said, "This is the characteristic of this dungeon. The ghosts won't hurt people, but it doesn't mean you can't capture them. After you capture them, you must fulfill their wishes. If you can't, then those captured will remain in the dungeon forever."
"Then why don't we just fulfill the ghost's wish?"
"Yes, this way no one will lose anything."
"Have you ever thought about this," Xia Yingnuan looked at them, "if you were a complete stranger, would you trust them to take the time to fulfill the ghost's wish and save you? Especially when time is tight and there's a chance you might die in the dungeon yourself, would you do it?"
The few newcomers who had been so righteous just now were stunned by the question for a moment. They looked at the old anchors and understood some of their practices.
"If that's the case, I'm willing to trust you, Jia Jia. If you are captured by ghosts, I will definitely save you." Gu Hua wanted to win back his girlfriend at this time.
But that push just now had completely made Ai Jiajia lose her good impression of him. She sneered and said, "Save me?" He laughed and said, "Gu Hua, if you are caught by ghosts, I will save you."
"Jia Jia, stop making trouble." Gu Hua wanted to grab her hand and coax her.
"Don't touch me!" Ai Jiajia shook off his hand and stood aside. "You make me feel sick."
Xia Yingnuan could still think of a funny joke in her mind at this time, "Couples, come and separate, you deserve the Hell APP." After thinking about it, the corners of her mouth twitched.
"Okay, we don't have much time to waste here. Come and draw lots. If you don't draw lots, just go in directly and choose one of the two." Cui Ming said.
"I..." Several newcomers wanted to say more, but when they saw Cui Ming's sharp eyes, they shrank their necks, stepped forward obediently, took a number plate, and quickly looked at their own numbers.
Finally, only Xia Yingnuan was left, and Cui Ming looked at her.
Xia Yingnuan said, "I don't draw lots."
"Then you have to go in directly, little girl. You'd better draw a lot. You were lucky to survive yesterday, but today you can't avoid it..." Liu Guangfu persuaded.
"No need, I'll go in directly." Xia Yingnuan said.
"Okay." Cui Ming looked at her deeply and said, "There will be three of us going in this time."
"Why three?" the new anchors shouted.
"Because I found that the person who was left behind could provide us with information." Cui Ming said.
Cui Ming and other veteran anchors had already planned it from the beginning. This time, including Xia Yingnuan, there were a total of six people who were not their own. If they wanted to pass this dungeon quickly and easily, the best way was to directly use these people to fill the vacancies needed by the ghosts.
First day, alone.
The next day, two people.
On the third day, three people.
But now, the situation has changed. The newcomers all have their own ideas, and if one is not good, it is easy to get out of control.
Then, they will not enter the copy within the copy obediently.
I wanted to pass this copy quickly and effortlessly, but I didn't expect to encounter the uncertain factor Xia Yingnuan.
Since she shared that sentence directly.
"Now, Xia Yingnuan has taken up one spot, leaving two spots," Cui Ming said. "These two spots are number 0 and number 1."
"I... I don't want to go in." Chen Meiyu cried, "I have a husband and children at home. I don't want to die. I don't want to stay here. I want to leave. Yes, I want to leave." After she finished speaking, she was about to run back. However, after just a dozen steps, a familiar red figure appeared in front of her. She was so scared that she ran back again.
The red figure didn't get close, but just stood in the shadows from a distance, watching them, as if urging them on.
"What should I do, Lord Hell Messenger?"
Chen Meiyun burst into tears, "I still have a husband and children, I don't want to die..."
"Okay, come in." Cui Ming asked the fat guy to open the door of the swimming pool.
Ning Hanqi suddenly stopped, and Xia Yingnuan also stopped. Not knowing why, she became even more nervous.
Ning Hanqi suddenly turned around and approached Xia Yingnuan, lightly kissing her pale lips.
Xia Yingnuan, who was still worried about being misunderstood the previous second, took a half step back instantly. The ghost's face could not turn red because of shyness, but her embarrassment was all hidden in her eyes.
"Your reaction is so simple, I believe it." Ning Hanqi stroked Xia Yingnuan's cold cheek, making it impossible for her to avoid his sight.
A light laugh echoed in Xia Yingnuan's ears, and the heavy atmosphere just now melted away like frost and snow.
It was only then that Xia Yingnuan realized she had been tricked again! However, she found that far from being angry, she even felt a little reluctant to let go of Ning Hanqi's kiss.
There's no hope. I'm completely hopeless.
