Li Su responded gently, "There are hooligans everywhere."
"Whoever has the knife is the boss, what do you know? Hurry up and take out the cards, stop dawdling!" Silver Stick impatiently tapped the ground, making a crisp sound. He had no mood to waste words on a dying man. "If you know what's good for you, you'll suffer less. Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll spare your dog's life and let you continue doing missions. You don't know what's good for you."
The two henchmen immediately responded to their leader's call, raising their knives and glaring menacingly at Li Su. They weren't bluffing; if he didn't cooperate, they really wouldn't hesitate to attack.
"How can there be hooligans among the players?"
The little doll tilted its head up and looked at Li Su, asking a question.
Li Su smiled slightly and replied softly, "There are hooligans everywhere. Baby, be good and don't learn from them. You'll need at least three years of experience to go out into the world." As he spoke, he gently patted the little doll's head, his eyes full of affection.
"Okay."
The little doll stretched out its big arms to hug Li Su, but it only covered half of his waist. The man's lips curled up slightly as he rubbed the little doll's head.
The two of them completely disregarded the others in their interaction.
Seeing this, the burly man with the silver staff was enraged and ordered through gritted teeth, "What are you all standing there for? Get him!"
His two henchmen, as loyal as dogs, immediately drew their long knives and slashed at Li Su upon hearing the order.
The NPCs nearby were already scared and kept their distance; they weren't responsible for protecting the NPCs from damage.
Li Su dodged to the side, chopped and kicked, snatched the machete from the other man's hand, quickly turned around, and the two swords collided in the air, making a crisp sound. The underling's arm went numb from the impact, and he subconsciously let go, his pupils suddenly contracting.
The troublemaker was all smug just a second ago.
Having committed murder and robbery so many times, they were no longer so afraid. They only thought about making another big score. Seeing that their underlings were no match for them, none of them had any fighting skills and they were only intimidating people with knives.
Now that Li Su had taken away their weapon, the three of them were terrified.
Upon seeing this, the troublemaker turned and ran without hesitation, fearing that if he was even a step too slow, he would not be able to escape.
Li Su swung his cleaver directly, the blade striking the man's spine squarely. The man screamed in pain and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Li Su bent down and picked up the machete from the ground. The sharp blade gleamed coldly. The two henchmen turned pale with fright, their previous arrogance vanished, and seeing the situation reverse, they immediately knelt down, trembling.
"Big, big brother, please forgive me, a magnanimous person doesn't hold a grudge against a petty person, no, I..." He stammered, not knowing what to say, when suddenly an idea struck him, his hands trembling like someone with Parkinson's disease, and he urgently said, "Poker! If you'll let me go, I'll give you all my poker cards!"
Li Su raised an eyebrow, gripping the machete, and looked down at the two with a sinister smile. "Is that so? Give it to me."
The two men crawled shakily to their leader's side.
He reached into his bag, looking for playing cards.
After finding it, she trembled as she tried to hand it over to Li Su.
Out of the corner of their eye, they spotted the machete on the leader's back. The two men paused for a moment, then exchanged glances, both having made up their minds. They quickly pulled the machete from the man's back.
The broad-shouldered man wasn't completely dead yet. The knife was pulled out, and he screamed before finally passing away.
Before the two henchmen could be frightened, they quickly picked up their machetes and slashed at Li Su, but missed again. Seeing that they still dared to do it, Li Su slashed down and severed the head and body. At the same time, he pressed the small doll back into his bag with his right hand so that the henchmen would not see the bloody scene.
Blood splattered on the back of his hand and even onto his clothes.
Only one henchman remained. His legs were weak, but he still ran as fast as he could.
Li Su swung the knife in the same way, hitting the target precisely. His eyes revealed a chilling and sinister look that sent shivers down people's spines. The three people were already lifeless.
Li Su went over and bent down to pick up the scattered cards.
It's about two centimeters thick when you hold it in your hand; it must have been stolen quite a lot.
Look at them one by one, and finally find ten cards with questions in the opposite direction.
Twenty encouragement plaques.
The vast majority of players have not yet fully grasped the patterns.
I completed the task and received the question card, but I don't know if I need to go to the basement to complete the task, what the card that was spat out is for, or how many cards I need to collect.
After Li Su figured it out, it was like he had a god's-eye view.
Holding the license plate, the driver sped off. Li Su sat in the driver's seat, the little doll peeking its head out of the bag. He had just heard screams outside and didn't know what had happened. He tilted his head back and called out, "Little Li."
While driving and keeping an eye on the road, Li Su glanced at the little doll and reached out to touch its face. "Hmm?"
Little doll: "Why are you driving?"
Li Su: "They ran away in fright, leaving the car here, so I'm the only one who can drive it."
The little doll looked at her with starry eyes and said admiringly, "Xiao Li, how are you so amazing? You can even drive a car."
Li Su was quite pleased with the little guy's flattery and chuckled, "Really? Baby thinks I'm amazing?"
"Incredibly powerful!"
Li Su smiled, her eyes crinkling with genuine joy.
He rubbed the little head again, drove the car to the castle gate, got out, and easily made his way to the basement. He went through the story again, and finally, out of ten cards, he spat out seven Aces of Hearts.
Just like the last time I redeemed the little doll.
One is missing.
Li Su was alright, preparing to do the task later, but the little doll kept sighing, saying with her little mouth, "Why are we short one? Why are we only short one?"
Li Su picked up the little guy and put him on his shoulder, stroking his back to comfort him. "It's okay, there are a lot of missions outside. Just pick a couple and do them. It'll be over by tonight at the latest."
He's not in a hurry right now.
The main problem is the little doll; we need to find a way to take him away.
They led people to the living room on the second floor, where there was a sofa and a coffee table with bright red roses. Each rose leaf had a note attached to it; there were no romantic words, just simple everyday scenes.
The sun is shining brightly today.
The humidity is just right.
I'm so full, etc.
Li Su placed the little doll on the coffee table, and Yu Yu shuffled around on her little feet, looking at the rose vase that was bigger than herself, and exclaimed "Wow!"
Although he knew that everything inside and outside the castle was bigger than him, he still found the vase of flowers novel and beautiful up close. In his memory, roses were all the same size, and only when several roses were arranged in a bunch did they look slightly larger.
A single branch is very small, at least compared to a person.
The flowers are so big now, they look incredibly beautiful. I tiptoed to touch them, but couldn't reach them, so I ran to the edge of the coffee table, waved to Li Su, and called out, "Little Li."
Li Su was in a daze.
He was thinking about how to take the little doll to the next world.
When the mission ends, the location will automatically change. The little doll belongs to this instance and may not be able to be taken away. The worst thing is that it will disappear into the wormhole space during the change. I was thinking too much.
So much so that the little puppet waved its hand and opened its mouth to shout.
He remained immersed in his own world.
"Xiao Li."
"Xiao Li?"
My little cutie is getting angry! "Xiao Li!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
This brought Li Su back to his senses.
He bent down, looked at the little doll with affection, and asked, "What's wrong, baby?"
The little doll pouted her soft, jelly-like lips, walked to the vase, and rested her little arm on it. "What are you thinking about? I've called you so many times."
Li Su let out a sound of surprise; he really hadn't been listening. "Sorry, I was thinking about something. Is there something you need, baby?"
The little doll forgave him when it heard him thinking about something.
"Look how big this flower is, I really want to take a picture with it."
The little doll made a peace sign, and the environment here is perfect for finding the right angle to take pictures; it's so beautiful that it makes you feel like you're in a fairyland.
It's a pity I didn't have a camera, otherwise I could have taken a picture.
He felt a pity, but his hand instinctively reached for the coffee table drawer, completely out of his control. By the time he stopped, the drawer had been pulled out, and inside was a Polaroid camera.
What a coincidence?
The little doll was still posing smugly when Li Su took out the Polaroid camera. Yu Yu's eyes lit up. "Hey! A camera! Li, Li, I want to take a picture!"
After studying it for a while, Li Su adjusted it, brought the Polaroid camera closer, found the right angle, and said, "Baby, position yourself, I'm taking the picture."
"Go ahead and take pictures, go ahead and take pictures."
The little doll made a peace sign, the shutter was pressed, and the photo came out quickly. After letting it air out on the coffee table for a while, I was about to take a few more pictures of his little doll when a dazed Chi Lvlu appeared.
Upon seeing the two people, both sides paused.
Li Su was surprised that he was still alive.
Chi Lulu saw that the two of them were scared and nervously put her feet together. She wanted to run, but her legs were too weak to move.
The little mascot suddenly greeted us warmly, "Hello, come take a picture!"
Not only Chi Lvlv: ?
Li Suye: ?
I couldn't help but mutter to myself, "How kind of person is Yin Yang?"
"Greenie, I'm not kidding you, this photo is amazing."
The sight of a shop window full of dolls together was creepy. One could barely accept it, but Chi Lulu rubbed her face and forced an ugly smile. "No, no need."
The little doll persistently invited, "Come on, come on, there aren't many people left now. It's not good to walk alone. Why don't you take a picture with us?"
Chi Lulu: "..."
Li Su's face was almost as black as soot from the bottom of a pot. Okay, okay, they're starting to call each other by affectionate nicknames now, Green? They really need to be taught a lesson!
"Xiaoyu!" Li Su called out warningly.
The little doll wiggled its waist and made a peace sign. Seeing its adorable appearance, Li Su couldn't bear to say anything. The little doll was still trying its best to invite Chi Lulu, but Chi Lulu wanted to leave.
Little doll: "There's no one outside now, it's scary, let's go with Xiao Li?"
Li Su was clearly displeased, and his voice became louder: "Xiao Yu!"
Chi Lulu wasn't oblivious to the subtle cues; she shook her head, trembling, and prepared to leave. The little doll quickly waved, "Hey! Let's take a picture!"
"Otherwise, if I run into you later, I'll still ask you to take a picture. The background here is super pretty. Come on, come on, I won't say anything, don't be afraid."
Chi Lulu didn't understand why the doll was so keen on taking pictures with her. She didn't really want to cling to Li Su anymore; it was too terrifying (?w?).
"Come on, or I'll come find you later~ with my brothers and sisters." The little doll deliberately lowered its voice, and the tone that came out was slightly eerie.
Chi Lulu was most afraid of those children.
Terrified, Li Su shuffled over, his face ashen. "Baby!"
The little doll winked at him. One second Li Su was angry, the next second his eyes were full of doubt. He suddenly remembered that this little thing had taken him through the hidden plot several times. He was annoyed, suspicious and acting as a photographer, making them pose.
Chi Lulu came to the little doll's side, stared at his eerie smile, and was so frightened that her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Li Su: "..."
The little doll adjusted its pose for the photo, made a peace sign, and called out to Li Su with a smile, "Little Li, take a picture, yay!"
Li Su hesitated: "He's unconscious, why are you still taking pictures?"
Little doll: "Take the picture."
Li Su nodded, highlighted his family's beautiful little doll, pressed the shutter, and the photo came out quickly. The little doll then turned to other angles on its own, and he took all sorts of photos, going through box after box of photographic paper.
Until all thirty photos were taken.
The coffee table was covered with images, the first few of which were already displayed. Li Su picked one up and noticed a letter in the upper left corner: the Queen of Spades and the Ace of Hearts, the same one he had in a photo with Chi Lulu!
Li Su narrowed his eyes. The remaining photos were all scattered, with three, four, five, six, and seven cards in total, making all twenty-four cards complete.
His eyes fell on the little doll.
He jumped off the coffee table, startling Li Su.
Quickly peek over.
The little doll patted itself on the ground; it wasn't too high to fall apart. It ran to Chi Lulu's side and called to Li Su, "Little Li, take him with you."
Li Su: ?
I don't understand, but the little doll's request must be correct.
The baby is his cheat code to get through the game.
The little doll asked Li Su to carry it back to 4444. Pointing its little finger at the card slot, it said, "Put in the cards, put in the cards."
Li Su didn't move. He stuffed the card in. If he passed the level, he still hadn't found a way to take the little doll away. No way.
Seeing that he didn't move, the little doll urged, "Swallow it!"
Li Su: "What will you do if I finish the dungeon?"
Seeing that he was worried about this, the little doll exclaimed, "Oh dear, let's take a photo together! As long as I'm with you, I'll pass the test. Silly boy, hurry up!"
Unlike the fool Xiao Li, he didn't start trying to save himself from the very beginning.
Li Su was half-believing and half-doubting, but he stuffed all the accumulated cards into the card slot, one, two, three... until all 24 cards were stuffed in, and the glass of the display case opened, all converging towards 4444.
They threw the doll out of the shop window, then surged forward, dismantling every part of it. The doll screamed in agony, and Li Su tried to stop it, but grabbed nothing. All the physical objects turned into naked-eye 3D.
He can't reach it.
The little doll was fine. After the doll disassembled Si Si, the little guy took his parts and put them on Chi Lv Lv, eventually merging them together. Li Su: "..."
he……
Not a player?
[Murder rate 99%, Challenge duration: 2 days]
Congratulations to the player for completing the level!
The judge could be clearly heard gritting his teeth as he delivered the report.
To prevent the bug from helping other players pass the level, after one day, only the bug passed the level. Upon checking the surveillance footage, it was discovered that it was a puppet from his own family that had betrayed him.
The doll was supposed to be destroyed after being struck by lightning.
The doll hasn't been destroyed yet, and he even helped Li Su find the last card. Little doll, oh my god, he just goes to a certain location and randomly triggers some god-like perspectives.
The completion time is too short, which affects the quality of the dungeon.
Although fewer players have completed the game, it still requires a lower level of difficulty.
Chi Lulu is the ultimate character in 4444. He is not a player; to put it simply, he is a game corpse and the final mission. He is alive, wandering around the players, confusing them.
If it weren't for the little doll.
Li Su didn't expect this either.
The core idea of this instance is to reverse the player's role and let them experience the psychology of a victim. Unfortunately, those who understand it fail to complete the task and die because they violate the rules, while those who complete the task do not understand it.
This also violates the core theme of the game.
Prejudice in thought is like a high mountain; it can only moderately prevent the withering of roses, but it cannot make them empathize with even life-threatening games.
In this game, all you can do is make sure you don't hurt anyone.
