Chapter 25 Not One Missing
It was not until dark that the villagers brought dinner, but the scarred man was not seen.
This made Ling Ji and the two girls feel very uneasy.
"How about we go out and look for him after we finish eating?" He Jia said, "This village isn't very big. He might have moved to another place. Do they have a hospital? Was he injured and sent there?"
Meng Xinyi nodded, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Ling Ji also said: "The lack of personnel may affect the progress of the mission, and now it's been more than half a day, and we don't have any clues. I'm afraid we won't be able to sleep tonight."
All three of them expressed their opinions, and then turned to Chu Xihen who was eating dinner in silence.
The vegetables and rice sent by the villagers were delicious. Although the time in the real world was stagnant, their bodies had indeed entered the copy and their five senses were all there. With such good things, they naturally wanted to enjoy them.
"No, Brother Fox, can we have a sense of participation? After all, this is a team dungeon, and we need to work together to pass it. We don't have much time." When Ling Ji saw Chu Xihen's indifferent look, his blood pressure soared.
"Oh, my opinion is don't go out. Don't go out after dark. You can only pass the level if you keep your life." Chu Xihen was in a state where he would move if someone pushed him.
But it would be better if he did not express this opinion.
"If we don't go out to look for clues tonight and wait until we get up at six o'clock tomorrow morning, it will take at least nine hours. We only have forty-eight hours!" He Jia was so anxious that she couldn't eat.
In the end times, I was worried about having no food. Now that I have entered the dungeon and have food, I am worried about not being able to survive.
"The mission doesn't say that the whole team must pass it, and that Scar doesn't want to finish the dungeon properly, so why do you care about him?" Chu Xihen had already eaten his fill while the three were thinking of a solution. Now he put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth and asked.
"I looked for it while I was looking for clues." He Jia explained.
To be honest, as long as it doesn't affect the mission, Scarface deserves to die.
"Aren't you worried at all that we won't be able to complete the mission?" Ling Ji stared at the mask on Chu Xihen's face seriously.
Although he was very curious about why the other party had to wear a mask when entering the dungeon, they didn't know each other at first, so wasn't this a waste of time?
But everyone has their own privacy, and Ling Ji didn't ask even though he was curious.
"Don't worry, because I can complete it." Chu Xihen said as he stood up, "I'll go back to my room and rest first."
Seeing how he was unhurried, Ling Ji's brows wrinkled slightly.
He Jia asked: "Brother Ling, should we listen to him?"
Chu Xihen gave He Jia a very mysterious and unreliable feeling, and she didn't know whether she should listen to him.
"Listen to him, let's get through tonight and see what the situation is." After Ling Ji communicated with the two girls, he also returned to the room.
After a night, when they woke up the next day, the sun had already risen.
The villager came to bring them breakfast on time, and when he saw the four of them sitting at the table, his eyes were filled with fear.
"You, no one went out last night?" The villagers asked hesitantly.
Ling Ji did not let go of his abnormality and asked, "What's wrong? Do we have to go out?"
When he returned to his room last night, he thought that he had to use such a tight time to sleep, and he thought he would be too anxious to fall asleep. However, he fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow, and when he opened his eyes again, it was daybreak.
Now seeing the reactions of the villagers, he felt that Chu Xihen's approach might be right.
"No, that's not what I meant. I wanted to say that the moonlight was very beautiful last night. It's strange that you didn't go out to see it." The villager hurriedly found an excuse to fool Ling Ji.
But Ling Ji caught the loophole in his words, "We just didn't leave the B&B, but it doesn't mean we didn't enjoy the moon. Why do you say that?"
At this time, Chu Xihen raised his eyes and looked at Ling Ji.
Ling Ji was a little confused. Did he say something wrong?
As a result, I heard the villagers say: "There are no windows in the rooms of our B&B. If you want to enjoy the moon, you have to go out of the room."
No window? Ling Ji thought about it and realized that he had not noticed this detail. No wonder he felt strange when he entered the room last night.
But he still calmly told the villagers: "We can watch it in the yard."
The villagers seemed to be frightened and had no intention of arguing with Ling Ji anymore. They ran away with the empty basket.
Ling Ji quickly asked Chu Xihen, "He was sure that we had not left the room, right? Did you find anything?"
He Jia and Meng Xinyi also looked at Chu Xihen.
Chu Xihen didn't sleep the whole night. He missed Lou Su's embrace a little and spoke weakly.
"When he saw that none of us were missing, he was sure that we had not left the room. Think about it yourself." After Chu Xihen finished speaking, he put down his bowl and chopsticks again, and his whole body seemed to be connected to the sofa.
Ling Ji understood Chu Xihen's hint and froze in his chair, motionless, as if struck by lightning.
He Jia asked: "What do you mean?"
Meng Xinyi explained to her, "It means that if we left the room last night, we would definitely die. The villagers seem to have tacitly accepted that we would not show up in a neat group this morning. Look at the breakfast on the table. There are almost three servings of each kind."
Because there are many kinds of food, including steamed buns, eggs, and sweet potatoes, all placed in one bowl, it would be hard to find them unless everyone shared a portion.
He Jia felt a chill down her spine when she heard this. "They knew clearly that we couldn't go out at night, but they didn't remind us. Are they just waiting for us to commit suicide?"
"Thanks to Brother Fox for reminding me." Ling Ji breathed a sigh of relief after surviving a disaster.
It really is the legendary infinite world dungeon full of dangers, where one can lose their life if they are not careful.
If Chu Xihen hadn't told them not to take any action last night, all three of them would have been killed.
"Could that wretched man have died last night?" He Jia asked.
Even though they all hated the scarred man, they couldn't be happy when they thought that he might have died in the dungeon last night.
Because someone died before they even figured out the rules of this copy, which is not a good thing.
"Maybe." Meng Xinyi responded to He Jia.
This accident made the three of them lose interest in eating and start to worry about their next move.
"Then can we go out during the day?" He Jia asked Ling Ji.
Ling Ji subconsciously looked at Chu Xihen, and found that the old man had fallen asleep again!
"We should be able to act during the day, right? Let's go out together to look for clues?" Ling Ji asked the two girls for their opinions.
As for Chu Xihen, he didn't dare to disturb him while he was resting.
The three of them wandered around the village for the whole morning. When the villagers saw them, the enthusiasm in their eyes disappeared and was replaced by panic and resentment.
I originally wanted to ask about konjac, but I was so scared by the villagers that I couldn't open my mouth.
They walked to the other side of the village and saw a forest path leading to the distance. When they were about to go over to take a look, they were stopped by the villagers.
"This is the forbidden area of our village. People from other villages are not allowed to enter." Then the three of them were driven back to the B&B.
Despite the setbacks, Ling Ji excitedly said to Chu Xihen after returning to the B&B: "Brother Fox, we found the clue!"
