After getting up, Su Deng first took a walk around the orphanage.
The headmistress was a middle-aged woman in her forties, a little overweight, and very kind. It was said that she opened an orphanage after her own child died of illness decades ago.
This orphanage is located in the suburbs and was privately run by the director. Fortunately, it has funds from welfare and charity funds, as well as donations from children who have left the orphanage. The orphanage is of moderate size and life is not too difficult.
The headmistress takes meticulous care of every child who comes here, and she only feels comfortable with those who come to adopt.
She was picked up by the director's mother from the roadside when she was a baby. Over the years, no matter how beautiful, well-behaved, or sensible she was, no one adopted her.
It's like being cursed.
Therefore, the dean had a slight preference for her.
The bookshelves still have fairy tales like Snow White and Cinderella, all donated by others; they are old but still neatly arranged.
Su Deng leaned against the second-floor railing, watching a group of children playing football in the courtyard below, feeling somewhat like she was in a dream.
Yes.
This is not the truth; it is something the God used to deceive him.
Thinking about what 404 had just said, Su Deng asked it again, "If I change the way I save the world and rewrite the ending of this game world, will Hua Hua and the others come back to life in the real world?"
404: Yes
Su Deng narrowed her eyes.
"Dengdeng, the headmistress is looking for you." A pretty little girl with braided pigtails and a floral dress ran over. "A couple has come to adopt a child. They said they're curious about you and want to meet you."
As Hua Hua dragged me downstairs, we passed a big tree. Under the tree was a little girl in a red dress with disheveled hair, holding a doll dressed in the same red dress.
When I saw her running past, I gave her a smile.
Su Deng was taken aback and grabbed Hua Hua, "Hua Hua, who is she?"
Hua Hua glanced at her, "The headmistress calls her Xiao You," she whispered to Su Deng, "She seems a little mentally unstable, and usually, apart from the two of us, not many people like to play with her..."
Xiao You?
At that time, there were 12 children in the orphanage, including her and Huahua. Su Deng remembered the name and appearance of each one clearly, but there was none named Xiao You...
Su Deng then asked Hua Hua, "When did she arrive?"
Hua Hua looked at her strangely, "You've been here for two or three months now."
Su Deng's expression changed slightly. She was absolutely certain that there was no one named Xiao You in her orphanage.
Su Deng sized up Xiao You, and when her gaze swept over the doll in Xiao You's arms, the doll's eyes seemed to shift slightly.
When she looked again, the doll's glass eyes hadn't moved at all.
"Let's go."
Su Deng wanted to say something, but Hua Hua pulled her away.
"Director Mama..."
Su Deng, who had followed Hua Hua to the destination, stopped abruptly when she saw one of the men present.
He was a man in his thirties, wearing black-rimmed glasses, with a refined and scholarly air, and a gentle smile on his lips.
Two neat characters floated in the air above his head.
[road platform]
Red dripping blood.
[404: Alert! A-level otherworldly super-high-level player detected!!]
[404: Character Trigger Warning. Players in game worlds of rank B or higher who violate game world rules and indiscriminately kill a certain number of innocent players will be marked with a red name as a warning. This indicates that the player has been detected as a maniac with a penchant for killing. Players are advised to exercise caution.]
[404: Your game name has been temporarily hidden. The hiding period has ten minutes remaining. If you wish to remain hidden, please explore the dungeon and find the quest rewards yourself.]
[404: Friendly reminder, your current health is 79.]
This 404 error was like it was dead before; it wouldn't respond no matter what I did.
Since she confronted the deity head-on, she has become as talkative as ever.
What exactly is this 404 system of hers...?
[World Dungeon Update in Progress]
[Update successful]
[System: There are hidden monsters in this world instance. The monsters have appeared. Every night, the monsters will devour one child and replace it with another monster, until all the children have become monsters.]
[Mission: Locate and kill the monster, keep your health above 30, and successfully complete the mission by ensuring the entire orphanage survives]
As Su Deng was thinking about the 404 error, a loading symbol suddenly appeared in the void before her eyes.
Then comes the task prompt.
Putting aside the task details, Su Deng accurately noticed that the announcement was directly titled "[System]", and a 404 error message would display "[404]"...
The game system is designed to help players survive in the game world, receive dungeon quest prompts, and access world announcements, etc. It is impossible for her to be bound to two game systems.
This further illustrates that while 404 may indeed be related to the Divine Court's overall system, it is not under the control of the Divine Court; rather, it is the "system" that is involved.
...It's getting weirder and weirder.
"Dengdeng? Dengdeng, what's wrong?"
The swaying of the flowers brought Su Deng back to her senses, and she quickly said, "It's nothing."
The name above this man's head was so red it was almost dripping blood, indicating that he was an absolute serial killer.
Hiding your name can prevent you from colliding with other players and causing unnecessary danger and trouble, but it has a time limit.
There are monsters too...
The image of the little girl in red named Xiao You flashed before Su Deng's eyes.
"This is Dengdeng, she's six years old this year. She's obedient, well-behaved, sensible, and beautiful. She's very talented; she can already read an entire fairy tale book fluently using the pinyin and characters she recognizes, and she can do addition and subtraction within 100..."
