Chapter 323 Escape Plan (3) - Strange Dream
Judging from Xiaomeng's words, Ji Shi often goes on missions. Even if not every mission is related to unknown areas, at least a significant portion of them are.
That's right, only in this way can the origin of time-based integrals be explained.
If Ning Shu's hypothesis is correct, Ji Shi's diligence in accepting tasks in unknown areas may not be solely for the purpose of accumulating points, but could be for the purpose of exploring unknown areas in advance.
In that case, Ji Shi would be her future "teammate," and their goal would be the same—to leave the game!
She needs to find an opportunity to test Ji Shi.
She stayed at Zaifu Meng's place for 5 days, but Ji Shi still hadn't returned. Ning Shu thought she should go out and farm dungeons first.
Even if Ji Shi truly shares the same goals as her, and the other person's level keeps increasing while hers doesn't, it's all for nothing.
If she were Ji Shi, she wouldn't cooperate if the other party only had information but no real strength—because it would be meaningless and would only drag her down.
As the saying goes, one must be strong to forge iron.
She decided to go out and continue grinding dungeons tomorrow. She glanced at Zaifu Meng, who was eating snacks next to her, but didn't dare to tell him about it to his face.
Worried that she might impulsively decide to go with him, and if anything happened to her, Ji Shi would skin her alive.
I'll find an excuse to go out tomorrow and then text Xiaomeng.
The plan was perfect, but it was thwarted by a dream.
That night, Ning Shu slept soundly. In her dream, she didn't know where she went, and when she opened her eyes, there was a blank space.
This environment was somewhat similar to the environment she was in after leaving the instance. She even wondered if her desire to run the instance was too strong, causing her to hallucinate.
Do you want to leave the game?
A young man's voice suddenly came from behind her.
Ning Shu was startled and turned around to see a young man standing in front of her.
"I'm sorry, I startled you. My name is An Ran, and your name is Ning Shu, right?"
The other party actually knew my name!
Thinking of his first words, Ning Shu felt a surge of excitement: "You just said I could leave the game?"
An Ran smiled and nodded: "That's right, don't go to unknown areas. That's not the right way to leave the game. What awaits players there is only real death."
He even knows about unknown areas!
Ning Shu asked somewhat uncertainly, "Then where should I go?"
"Go run a non-fixed dungeon called 'Winterlands'. I'll leave you a way to leave the game there."
Remember, do not tell anyone about this; the fewer people who know, the better.
That dungeon is difficult; it's best to have teammates to help you. Those who can leave must meet the level requirement of C10.
I don't have much time left, so remember what I said today.
Ning Shu became anxious: "Is there a limit to the number of people?"
Anran's image has faded, but his voice still lingers: "I don't recommend too many people leaving at once, it's difficult to arrange. Two or three at most. Good luck!"
Ning Shu: "Don't go, I haven't finished asking!"
Who exactly are you? Why are you helping yourself? How do you know so much?
As the dream ended, Ning Shu yelled from the bed, "Don't go!"
Then I woke up with a start.
Zai Fumeng, who was sleeping next to her, was suddenly awakened by her shout. In her daze, she realized that Ning Shu had woken up and seemed to be frightened.
She sat up and asked with concern, "Sister, what's wrong?"
Ning Shu glanced around; it was pitch black. She turned on the light, but the glare was blinding. After a while, she saw Zai Fumeng, who was still squinting.
Everything before my eyes is still in the safe zone, in Zaifu Meng's house. Was that... a dream?
Ning Shu asked uncertainly, "Was I sleeping the whole time?"
Zaifu Meng was stumped by her question. If she wasn't sleeping, what was she doing?
It's a bit scary.
"Of course, you went to bed earlier than me. You said you wanted to go to bed early before you went to sleep."
Ning Shu remembered that it was indeed the case. She decided to run a dungeon tomorrow, so she planned to go to bed early and then set off for the buffer zone as soon as possible.
The man named An Ran just now really appeared in my dream. Was everything he said true?
Could it be that she's been thinking about it during the day and is dreaming about it at night?
Zai Fumeng asked worriedly, "Sister, are you really alright?"
Ning Shu comforted the other person: "It's nothing, I just had a nightmare. Go to sleep. I'm sorry for disturbing you."
Zaifu Meng didn't think much of it and lay down to continue sleeping.
Ning Shu kept her eyes open and memorized the information the other person told her.
Regardless of whether what the other party said was true or false, she couldn't let go of any clues about leaving the game.
As a result, Ning Shu couldn't sleep for the rest of the night, and the next day she greeted Zai Fumeng with dark circles under her eyes.
The other person asked in surprise, "Sister, you didn't sleep at all afterwards, did you?"
Indeed, Ning Shu's expression said it all.
Zai Fumeng was confused and kept asking, but Ning Shu couldn't say anything. He could only vaguely say that it was because he was under a lot of pressure thinking about running dungeons.
The other party was convinced by her explanation and did not ask any further questions.
The good news is that Ji Shi is back.
The other party seemed unprepared, and their expression was somewhat complicated when they saw Ning Shu appear at their home.
Ning Shu instantly guessed that Zai Fumeng had acted first and informed him later.
She whispered to Zai Fumeng, "Didn't you tell your brother I was coming to your house?"
Zai Fumeng: "I usually don't send him messages when he's doing missions, so as not to distract him."
So I didn't say anything this time either; he'll see when he gets back anyway.
Ning Shu was speechless; she really wanted to kneel down before her.
Ji Shi probably worried that she would be distracted while carrying out her mission, so he didn't let her send messages casually, but he also couldn't let her not tell him when someone came to visit.
When Ji Shi saw the two whispering, his face darkened even more: "Xiao Meng, come here, let's have a good talk."
Ning Shu knew that Ji Shi was going to give his younger sister a lecture, so he pretended not to care and sat on the sofa, listening to the two of them go back to their room.
It's obvious what Ji Shi will say, but since he dotes on Xiao Meng so much, Xiao Meng will probably only get a few words of criticism.
I don't know what they talked about, but neither of them looked unusual when they came out.
Xiao Meng is one thing, she's always been carefree. If Ji Shi is like that too, it means Xiao Meng is quite eloquent.
Ji Shi acted as if nothing had happened, smiling as she greeted Ning Shu: "Long time no see, welcome to visit."
Ning Shu thought that Ji Shi felt like a stranger he didn't know very well, so it was normal for him to have reservations.
Considering we'll have to cooperate again after leaving the game, it's best to be friendly.
She replied with a smile, "I was running a dungeon nearby and thought since you were in the area, I came over to visit. I also wanted to talk to you about something."
Ji Shi knew she had ulterior motives; he indeed couldn't trust players he didn't know well.
Ning Shu guessed correctly. Although she had saved Zai Fumeng, Ji Shi thought that sometimes saving people was just a matter of course.
This doesn't mean the person is innocent; perhaps they are plotting something bigger.
