Chapter 189
Xingnuo, wrapped in a thick down jacket, walked down the third floor as usual and looked at Uncle Qi Yao's dusty door.
"Still not back."
Xingnuo couldn't help but frowned and couldn't help asking:
"Lu Qi, can you find out Uncle Qi Yao's current condition?"
I haven't been back for so long, will I...
Lu Qi responded, but didn't reply for a long time. When Xingnuo was preparing for lunch break, he suddenly spoke:
"Qi Yao and several teammates are still alive."
Xingnuo paused while lying down, then stood up again and looked up at the light snow outside the window.
"It's good to be alive. This copy is not easy to pass."
Lu Qi used his weak energy to quietly invade this copy and spent several hours exploring it inside and out.
"This dungeon is too high-level. In addition to ordinary people, there are also many players who challenge it."
"In a large amusement park instance, a single entertainment facility can generate a small instance, and various large and small instances are mixed together to form a huge system."
It was similar to the amusement park built by Chen Yan that Xingnuo had visited before, but it was even bigger and more luxurious, and covered a very large area.
There are players who come to explore different dungeons, as well as psychics who try to kill core monsters, and ordinary people who are innocently pulled into the dungeons.
Almost everyone was fighting on their own. The dungeon was too complicated, and there was no trust between each other. Even teammates were on guard against each other.
"The boss of this dungeon likes to tease humans like he teases mice. The death rate of this dungeon is not high, but the clearance rate is even lower."
The clown is a synonym for funny and weird, not to mention that it is a high-level monster.
This monster designed many dungeons in the copy to make teammates suspicious of each other, and he also liked to plant various monsters undercover to sow discord.
Seeing good friends glaring at each other, lovers breaking up and becoming enemies, and teammates falling apart, he would come on stage laughing and do a funny dance.
"In this complex dungeon, some players are unable to live or die, and can only endure the pain of riding the amusement facilities over and over again, and finally they are assimilated into a crazy clown monster."
Playground.
The player has been hungry for a long time, but just when he couldn't hold on any longer, he got a piece of food that fell from the sky. His sanity was gradually approaching collapse.
He felt that this was a copy that he could never complete!
The owner of the copy is a devil, looking down on the players as they struggle. He is extremely evil!
While chewing the dropped food, the player thought he was going to go crazy in the next second, but his teammate raised his knife first and jumped up with a laugh.
"May this world be destroyed! Let us sing and dance to our heart's content!"
As he spoke, he put on the clown mask that could be found everywhere on the roadside, and started jumping up and down, singing a strange and eerie song.
This song echoes everywhere in the amusement park, but it still makes people feel creepy every time they hear it.
There was only indifference on the player's face. He ignored his teammates who were singing and dancing, squatted on the side of the road, and ate the bread numbly.
Perhaps before long, he will become one of the clowns.
They perform weird and exaggerated dances in the park, sing praises to the great clowns, and enjoy playing nasty pranks every day.
At that time, he was no longer a human being, but a monster.
***
The final results are out, and Xingnuo got first place again.
However, this time the gap with the second place is smaller. Everyone’s strength has improved rapidly, and the difference is only one point.
After receiving the final exam papers and homework, Xingnuo returned home panting with exhaustion, carrying his heavy schoolbag.
An Zimo followed beside him, looking dazed.
"We only have two weeks off. We can't finish this homework even if we do it every day!"
Xingnuo put his schoolbag on the seat of the electric bike. The bike sank a little under the pressure. He exhaled and said:
"If you write for a few hours every day, there's still hope that you can finish it. An Zimo, don't think about catching up on your homework on the last day. You won't be able to finish it even if you work all night!"
An Zimo and Xing Nuo were not in the same class, and he couldn't even copy each other's homework. He couldn't help but yell and sighed to the sky.
"God wants to kill me!"
Xingnuo returned home, sat at the desk, organized his homework, looked at his final paper, and checked for omissions.
It was getting dark earlier and earlier, and in the blink of an eye, a pitch-black curtain was hung outside.
Without moonlight and stars, the dark night looked a little creepy.
Xingnuo stretched and heard his brother calling him to eat outside the door. He put his books in order and stood up to answer.
After dinner, Xingnuo acted coquettishly with his father for a while, watched a family soap opera, and went to bed as usual.
He closed his eyes, feeling the gentle force of his father rubbing his head, and the gentle gaze of his brother opening the door and looking at him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Everyone in the family was particularly worried about him.
Before going to bed, his father would come to see him, Shen Yan would also come over, and even Shen Baizhou, who had a carefree personality, would open the door from time to time to see if his brother was sleeping well.
When it was late at night and the house was silent, Xingnuo slowly opened his eyes.
"Do you remember our goal?!"
Lu Qi responded in his mind: "Remember! Once you steal something, leave immediately and don't linger!"
Xingnuo looked determined, and the next second, he fell into the amusement park copy along a short path opened up by Lu Qi using energy.
Xingnuo was wearing plush pajamas with long rabbit ears on the hood. It looked very warm and furry.
He came here illegally, just like an ordinary person, without entering any copy. He just lay on the road in the amusement park, rubbing his knees for a long time before he got up.
Xingnuo observed for a while and didn't notice any danger or problem, so he stood up with the help of the street lamp.
Lu Qi had already generated a 3D stereoscopic map of this small area of the scenic spot, which was now displayed 360 degrees in front of Xingnuo, and reminded him:
"There is a small copy 310 meters to our left. Hide and seek."
Xingnuo said he understood, and limped over, stepping into the boundary line of the copy, with half foot in and half foot left outside.
"Lu Qi, can you make it?"
Although the name of the Hide and Seek copy sounds simple, its level is not low, it is A-level.
Moreover, Lu Qi's absorption of energy from various copies is limited by spatial distance.
He tried several times, and finally when Xingnuo was sneakily adjusting his distance, he said:
"It's OK! I've touched the core energy of the copy!"
At this time, half of Xingnuo's body had already entered the copy. If he walked one centimeter forward, he would be captured by the copy and pulled in to play hide-and-seek.
Considering how bad the boss of this dungeon is, Xingnuo will definitely not be able to get out without getting severely injured.
So it’s better not to go in!
He is just a weak ordinary person without any special powers. It's good for him to sneak around and steal some energy to replenish Lu Qi.
There are not many high-level copies, and Xingnuo can distinguish between relatives and strangers. He definitely cannot steal the copies of his brother and father, so after all the calculations, this amusement park is the only one left!
For half the night, Xingnuo squatted in the corner and secretly stole the energy of half of the copy with Lu Qi.
The two did not linger, and when the time came, they turned around and left.
It was already bright in the amusement park.
A strange, fiery red sun hung in the sky, and countless clowns came out from various corners, laughing and dancing funny dances.
Before Xingnuo left, he looked back and felt his scalp tingling at the ugly clown masks.
Fortunately, Lu Qi was extremely reliable, and this copy had already invaded reality, so it was easy to find loopholes. It only took a few seconds for Xingnuo to return to the bedroom.
The plush rabbit pajamas were dirty, so Xingnuo had to change into a plush crocodile one, put on a hood, and crawl into the quilt to sleep.
I slept until almost noon.
Xingnuo woke up, yawning, and obviously felt satisfied.
"That's great. I hope I can sleep in every day after the college entrance examination!"
Lu Qi did not answer. He was absorbing energy and could only make a beep to show his agreement.
Xingnuo likes the feeling of getting a response for everything.
Lu Qi lives in his soul, and inexplicably, Xingnuo feels very safe and dependent.
It seems that no matter what, there will always be a person, a life, who will always stand by his side and coexist with him. Even at the end of the world, they will still be together and depend on each other.
This makes Xingnuo, who is loveless and sensitive, feel incomparable sense of security.
After brunch, Xingnuo watered the flowers with his father on the balcony and chatted about various things in low voices.
After living in the human world for so many years, everything about Chen Wen was tainted with the smell of fireworks, and the topic he talked about became:
"It will be sunny tomorrow. Grandma Zhang from the next building said that a new pastry shop has opened. The walnut cakes there are very sweet... I wonder when the tomatoes in the supermarket will be cheaper..."
Xingnuo squatted in front of the flower pot, listening to these words, with a smile on his cheeks.
Chen Yan, who was working in the living room, was also looking at the report with a serious face. The tablet next to him was playing:
"How can you become an excellent boss who can convince your subordinates? First, let's talk about the boss..."
As usual, Shen Baizhou had wet hair and a dull look on his face as he lay on the sofa, shouting softly:
"I must replace this crappy fish tank!"
Turning his head, he asked again: "Chen Yan, can I buy fried chicken for lunch? I gave you a coupon on my phone for 15 off for every 100 spent!"
Xingnuo listened to the noisy sounds in the house, propped up her face, fiddled with the flowers in the pot, and couldn't help laughing.
