Inner city.
A ray of light flashed, and the moment Yu Qirong and Tang Xingfei landed, almost everyone around them turned their eyes to them.
"It's that high-risk NPC!"
"He's actually not dead. I thought disappearing meant he was dead. We saw it with our own eyes... Why is he still standing with Tang Xingfei?"
Yu Qirong heard their whispers, turned to look at the man next to him suspiciously, and then got the answer - the Lord God showed his performance in the previous copy in the form of a live broadcast.
Upon hearing the news, Yu Qirong immediately recalled what he had done in the previous instance, and then with a unhappy look on his face, he made another note to the Lord God.
The inner city area banned weapons, but gossip was not banned. Tang Xingfei and Yu Qirong were both characters that were discussed quite a lot in the past few days, especially in the dungeon, when so many slices of Tang Xingfei appeared in Yu Qirong's illusion, which made everyone imagine.
Tang Xingfei's final move solidified his title of "the Lord's running dog", so his first reaction when he saw the two of them again was that Yu Qirong had managed to escape but was caught again.
But after a closer look, he found that it was not the case. Tang Xingfei, who always kept to himself and was hard to find, followed behind him so quietly and obediently, not like an escort, but more like a protection.
Yu Qirong, who was walking in front, was even more astonished. She had already been amazed by the beauty of this high-risk NPC on the big screen, and now that she was actually seeing it, she was still as amazed as before.
Different from her ignorant and well-behaved appearance on the big screen in the early stage, the white-haired beauty in front of him seemed to have a bit more arrogance of someone who has been in a superior position for a long time on her face, which made people feel weak at the knees when seeing it.
Yu Qirong regained some of the feeling he had at Lanxi High School in the inner city. While he felt familiar with the passionate gazes of so many people, he also keenly sensed a gaze coming from behind.
He turned around and made eye contact with Tang Xingfei, who then lowered his eyes, the inky black color showing an evasive look as if he had been discovered while peeking.
Yu Qirong then withdrew his gaze and pretended that nothing had happened just now, and he just turned his head unintentionally.
He was walking towards the playground.
According to Tang Xingfei, everyone else saw him disappear, and maybe Chen Xing’s people saw it too.
The last amusement park owner only gave his property to Yu Qirong after he died in the dungeon. There was no guarantee that Yu Qirong's property would not be redistributed to others after he "disappeared".
His amusement park has more than just entertainment facilities, it also has a large group of "staff" working in the amusement park.
Thinking of this, Yu Qirong quickened his pace.
He walked through the crowd, heading towards the Ferris wheel amid the players' surprised or disbelieving expressions.
Tang Xingfei was like a taciturn knight, just following closely behind him, not asking where Yu Qirong was going or what he was going to do now, but simply following him like a little stray dog that would not go away no matter how hard he tried to drive it away.
Before he even got there, the pure white magatama on Yu Qirong's wrist flashed, and then the dark blue light screen in front of him instantly unfolded, and the long-lost system prompt sounded: "Warning, the inner city's weapons ban will be closed soon, closing countdown: 5, 4, 3..."
Yu Qirong frowned fiercely. Sure enough, the situation was just as he had guessed. The Lord God had issued a weapons ban in the inner city area. His purpose was very clear.
Tang Xingfei also frowned. From this system group message, he sensed a subtle but not negligible sense of crisis.
The two looked at each other, read the same worries in each other's eyes, and then walked forward with a more rapid pace.
The amusement park was right in front of us, but the surroundings were eerily quiet. If an amusement park was located in a place with more traffic, it would make more money, so the empty streets seemed particularly unreasonable.
Yu Qirong noticed it, but he had no intention to distinguish it. The NPCs he brought with him were all in the amusement park, and he had to make sure they were safe.
He walked straight to the door of the amusement park and looked inside through the railings.
The amusement facilities are quite complete, but it is empty inside, with neither tourists nor staff there.
Yu Qirong found the key in the warehouse and opened the door briskly. His eyes rested on the shiny railing for a moment. He raised his hand and knocked, "Yu... Mirror Ghost, come out."
The illusion seemed to have left a great impact on him, and he almost blurted out the Mirror Ghost's previous name.
The Mirror Ghost didn't make Yu Qirong wait long. A ripple like water appeared where it was knocked, and then the Mirror Ghost walked out.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned, "Who is looking for me? I'm still asleep..."
The rest of the words came to an abrupt end. Mirror Ghost opened his eyes wide and looked at the familiar, gorgeous face with white hair and red eyes. He pulled his face and spoke without thinking: "I, I, I, you, you... I can actually see a living Qiqi?"
His fingers hurt his face, and the mirror ghost took a breath and said in surprise: "It's not a dream, it's real!... But it may also be an illusion that hurts?"
"... Tell me, what happened? Where are the others?" Yu Qirong pushed the restored railing back and locked it. He put his hands in his pockets and raised his chin. "Why are the tourists and staff not here?"
"Last time you let me move freely, but I was teleported out of the copy within a few days, and I even saw your live broadcast afterwards..." Mirror Ghost thought as he recalled.
"Xia Sheng was discovered by tourists when they were watching the live broadcast...but she also appeared in your fantasy copy, so some tourists guessed...In short, in order to avoid some trouble, we are temporarily closed."
He suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned his fierce eyes to Tang Xingfei who was standing silently beside him, "I remember him, Qiqi, I saw it all in the live broadcast, he plotted against you!"
Even in the face of the accusations of the mirror ghost, Tang Xingfei stood there indifferently without making any unnecessary movements. He just kept his eyes fixed on Yu Qirong, as if every second he looked at her was precious.
Seeing that Tang Xingfei didn't explain and Jing Gui looked obviously irritated, Yu Qirong felt a splitting headache.
"Are you deaf or what? Why are you still here after attacking Qiqi?" Mirror Ghost said as black mist surged around his body and he flew vertically into the sky.
Yu Qirong followed it and looked up, then had to explain for Tang Xingfei: "It was a misunderstanding, he wanted to save me... Okay, calm down, everyone else is inside, right?"
Although Yu Qirong spoke for Tang Xingfei, Jing Gui still disliked Tang Xingfei. He had some impression of this person, but his memory was vague. He only remembered that he made Qiqi wait for a long time.
The mirror ghost snorted at him, and then replied to Yu Qirong: "They are all here. No one has come to the amusement park these days, so they are all squatting in the haunted house."
Yu Qirong nodded, and just as he was about to go in, he heard someone shouting not far away: "They are really here!"
"Can NPCs also own property in an amusement park? If I remember correctly, this is the venue of the Shenxing Guild..."
Yu Qirong looked in the direction of the sound and saw that a large number of players suddenly gathered outside the amusement park, all of them holding weapons and looking like they had bad intentions.
He turned his head and looked around. It was obvious that the amusement park had been surrounded and was completely blocked.
They didn't seem to come here on a whim or to fight for justice for the real estate industry. Instead, they seemed to be organized and had a purpose.
Among them, a group of people were even more courageous. When they saw Yu Qirong and the others on the other side of the railing, they immediately used their weapons to chop the railing. However, the railing seemed to be made of some special material, and they only left a shallow mark after chopping it.
Yu Qirong glanced at the badge on the leader. The symbol looked very familiar. Xie Yi had glanced at it when he was explaining the four major guilds to him. It should be Hongmeng.
Among the four major guilds, only Hongmeng is a pro-Lord God faction. Even without asking, Yu Qirong could guess why they came here.
Tang Xingfei touched Yu Qirong's back and showed him the latest post on the forum:
"A new mission from the Lord God: kill Tang Xingfei and the high-risk NPC Yu Qirong. If you participate in the killing operation, you will receive a resurrection card!"
No wonder.
The terrain of the playground is relatively low, and you can easily see the asphalt road in the distance when standing at the entrance. I used to be able to see the whole picture, but now I can only see fragments, and most of the area is occupied by people.
Yu Qirong estimated the number of people on the other side, then looked at the people on his side, and finally took out his cell phone: "Hello, thanks? ... I'm over here at the amusement park, I was discovered, come over here."
He looked at the scratches on the railing from a distance and added, "Hurry up, otherwise you will never see those people who were made to disappear by Tang Xingfei like me."
Xie Yi wanted to ask something more, but Yu Qirong hung up the phone before him and looked at the person on the other side leisurely.
When Tang Xingfei saw that the people who came were carrying weapons, he also summoned his short blade and stared at the person outside the door with a serious expression. If the person really came in, he would not show mercy.
"Anyway, I see that it will take you some time to polish this thing, so why don't you talk about it first?" Yu Qirong moved a stool and sat down in an open space a little further away from the door.
"What is there for NPCs and players to talk about? You're not even human!"
Yu Qirong was silent for a moment. Indeed, he was neither a human nor a ghost. He was the original owner of this world. It was just that he was bewitched by ghosts for a while and was usurped by something else.
Yu Qirong didn't want to say any more nonsense to them, so he threw out his trump card directly: "The conditions offered by the Lord God are indeed tempting, but do you want to listen to mine? I can let you go home."
The leader's men paused for a moment, then tried to expose him: "Our fate is controlled by the Lord God. You said you can take us home, just relying on your identity as an NPC. Isn't that a bit too arrogant?"
