Chapter 143 Lost Items
Along with the gunshot came darkness.
After receiving Ji Weihang's signal, Bai Jiyue concentrated her mind and extinguished the candle. This delicate work made her mind tense and a little dizzy, but now was not the time to rest. She tried hard to search for Ji Weihang's traces, wondering if he had dodged the bullet in time.
As darkness fell, the dark followers were automatically activated. The bullet passed through Ji Weihang's body, through the gaps in the wooden prison, and hit the wall with a muffled sound.
Ji Weihang walked through the cage. Just like in the tunnel, her body was like a spirit that had left its body, unrestrained by external objects. She walked straight towards Ah Quan.
The sudden darkness made people lose their vision. Ah Quan did not panic. She fired repeatedly based on her memory, but was eventually grabbed by a hand on her wrist and twisted hard. She let go in pain, and the next second, the cold muzzle of a gun was pressed against her forehead.
"How did you leave the 23rd floor? Why do you want to kill me?"
A familiar voice is nearby.
"I don't want to kill you." The person in front of her seemed to be listening to her carefully. Ah Quan took advantage of the darkness and quietly pulled out the dagger from his waist. "I just..."
Feeling the muzzle of the gun on his forehead loosen a little, Ah Quan's heart started beating wildly. It's now!
She turned her head to avoid the gun, and her right hand holding the knife slashed from right to left, drawing a semicircle in the air.
But it didn't feel like ripping someone apart.
Knowing that her attack missed, Ah Quan immediately stepped back and retreated toward the stairs. She had already realized that the opponent had an advantage over ordinary people in the dark.
She took a few careful steps back, but something pressed against her back, preventing her from moving any further.
"What a coincidence." A female voice sounded, pushing the gun against her back, "Get off!"
Ah Quan obediently went down the stairs, and raised his hands to show surrender because he was worried about the enemy attack ahead.
From what she knew about them, they would not shoot her if she was already captured.
"Hey, are you all still alive?" she heard the woman behind her say, "Don't hit me, I'm here to help you."
When she walked into the dungeon, a man jumped out from the side, pointed a gun at the person behind her, and said coldly: "Put down your weapon."
When Agger put down his weapon, A Quan didn't have the opportunity to do anything. She had been pinned to the ground by another man, who was checking the weapons on her body.
Bai Jiyue, who was released by Ji Weihang, took away the weapon from Ager and put Ager into the wooden prison;
Ji Weihang searched A Quan and took away all his weapons, then asked her to enter another wooden prison.
After closing the dungeon door, Bai Jiuyue lit the lamp.
Ji Weihang glanced at Ah Quan who was rubbing his shoulder, and finally his gaze fell on Agerre: "What's the situation up there?"
"The sister guarding the gate was a little injured and couldn't move because of the poisoning. The other sisters were blocked and couldn't get out or down. But no one died. She was very measured in her actions." Agre glanced at A Quan across from him and said, "I was at the door, ready to go out, and the door opened just in front of me. She didn't notice me."
Ah Quan looked up and saw the other person's colorful plaid clothes. He knew that he was in a hurry and didn't notice that someone was hiding next to the clothes rack. It was dark, so it was normal to miss one.
Facing Ji Weihang's scrutinizing eyes, Ah Quan knew that her life was safe for the time being. If she killed too many people, the other party might kill her.
"My target is you. There is no point in wasting too much energy on ordinary N...ordinary people." Ah Quan said as she stepped back and sat down on the wooden bed, hiding herself in the shadows so that they would not notice what she was thinking from her expression.
What should she do next? Given the current situation, it would be difficult to complete the task given to her by the God of the Road.
"Let's go." After understanding the situation above, without saying anything more, Ji Weihang turned and walked towards the dungeon entrance. Bai Jiuyue was stunned for a moment before following him.
Ager said in shock behind them: "Aren't you going to ask about the ending of the players who were imprisoned here before? Aren't you going to ask how we established the guild? Aren't you going to ask where the players who established the guild with us went?"
Ji Weihang didn't look back, so Bai Jiyue looked back at her and said with a smile: "This kind of thing is not important."
Seeing that they were about to leave, A Quan became anxious. How could he complete the mission if they left?
"Aren't you curious about how I got here? Aren't you curious about what the highway gods asked me to do?"
Bai Jiyue said, "That kind of thing is up to you."
She followed Ji Weihang up the dungeon stairs and considerately closed the door to isolate the two from their voices.
It was extremely dark here, with only candlelight flickering at the door at the top of the dungeon.
As they climbed the stairs, Bai Jiuyue's tone was a little worried, not as casual as before when answering the two people: "Senior, even if we know the truth about the building blocks, what should we do?"
Ji Weihang said, "Wait."
"What are you waiting for?" Bai Jiuyue was a little confused, but also a little excited. "Don't tell me, let me think about it myself!"
Ji Weihang left time for herself to think, believing that only by using her brain more can one live longer.
When they reached the top, Ji Weihang pushed open the door of the dungeon, and the people outside fell to the ground. Because Ah Quan was weak from the poison, he was unable to stop the two men.
Both the top of the stairs and the living room and kitchen on the first floor were tightly blocked by a jelly-like colloid. Except for the several older sisters who had fallen to the ground and were in charge of guarding the door, there was no one else on the first floor.
The smugglers watched them picking and choosing at the door as if they were at home, and then each picked up a bamboo basket and carried it on their backs, and then took a cloak from the door and put it on, and they were speechless.
This is such a good mentality.
Blowing out the candles on the first floor, they opened the door and walked into the darkness hand in hand.
——
"I hate dark places." In the darkness, there was a crackling sound of something hitting something, and Jiang Yan complained, "Did you find the matches?"
Fu Xuan's voice sounded not far away: "No, did you find the light switch?"
Jiang Yan sighed: "No."
After searching for a while, they both said at the same time: "Found it!"
With a click, Jiang Yan turned on the light in the room, and the light instantly illuminated the entire room.
They were in an empty room, ten meters apart, one holding a light switch and the other holding a match.
Looking at the empty room, Fu Xuan rubbed his forehead and finally couldn't help it: "Do I have to turn off the lights to look for it? I hate this place!"
"Haha, me too." Jiang Yan laughed dryly, "It's even more annoying than just darkness."
Fu Xuan said irritably, "Turn off the lights. I'll try lighting a candle."
The lights went out, and Fu Xuan bent down to explore the space in front of him, and touched a table full of objects.
She held the match tightly and groped for the candle on the table. After touching the candle, she struck the match and lit it.
The candlelight illuminated the table in front of her, as well as her slightly relaxed brows.
She asked Jiang Yan to come over, passed a candle to her, and they searched separately.
After searching for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yan took off the silver bracelet from the neck of a puppet on a shelf and said happily, "I found it!"
"Finally!" Fu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Go, go, go, get out quickly."
She couldn't wait to leave this weird place!
After taking the candle from Jiang Yan's hand and watching her walk out the door with the bracelet, Fu Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He blew out the candle in his hand, put it back on the table, and then walked out as well.
The sun is shining brightly outside, the roadside is full of green trees, the wooden houses are neatly arranged, and the breeze blows, making it quiet and peaceful.
But they never dared to enter these houses again.
If they go in, they will lose the most important thing on them. Is this a warning to them?
Fu Xuan looked at the sky which had never changed and felt a little stuffy. At this moment, he noticed a child flash by out of the corner of his eye. He immediately slapped Jiang Xuan's arm and said angrily, "It was that brat!"
Start chasing after him.
Jiang Qian put away the bracelet and ran after him.
They arrived here, on the first floor, about two hours ago.
A suburban community that looks peaceful.
Apart from the residential area in front, there is only one driveway nearby that leads to the endless distance.
They decided to find out the situation in the community first.
"Lost Things," by any means, doesn't sound very dangerous.
When they entered the community, they saw a little girl with braids and overalls coming from the opposite direction on a skateboard. When she saw them, she immediately braked her skateboard and tried to take a detour.
With Jiang Yan's spiritual awareness, they would not lose her. Seeing them chasing closely, the child turned around and asked impatiently about their purpose.
Fu Xuan asked her if there was a little girl named Liuliu here, and if so, where she was. The child showed them the way and led them into a house.
The moment I entered, the door slammed shut, and the space became dark and I couldn't see anything. A visible prompt popped up in front of me: "You have entered the small copy of 'Beloved'."
The rules remind them that their most beloved item has been lost, and if they can't find it, they can't get out.
When looking for items, do not smash them randomly, which will cause drastic damage to indoor items and layout.
The child had obviously been here before, found his things familiarly and went out, leaving the two of them trapped in the house.
Fu Xuan lost the most important mission item, the silver bracelet that Xiao Wuli asked her to bring to Liuliu;
Jiang Yan lost her favorite gun.
Jiang Qian’s machine gun was very easy to find. Even without turning on the light, Fu Xuan found it after just feeling around.
But the bracelet was too small to be found, so they tried to turn on the light, but it took them a long time to find it.
Now, seeing the culprit who caused them to waste their time, Fu Xuan immediately chased after him.
Unlike before, Fu Xuan directly took action to stop the other party from leaving.
A stone was thrown accurately, and the skateboard wheels stopped with a click. The skateboard fell sideways, and the child jumped off the skateboard in time, but also stumbled.
During this delay, Fu Xuan had already run up to her, grabbed the straps of her overalls, and asked unhappily, "Why did you lie to us?"
"What's wrong with lying to you? If the dungeons around here hadn't been cleared, how could you have come out alive? You got it easy!" The child glared at Fu Xuan fiercely and shouted, "Don't even think about it! You bad guys from outside! I will never let my aunt down. I'll tell you where Liuliu lives! You can just kill me!"
Jiang Qian also rushed over. After hearing this, she was puzzled and said, "Why did he die? We didn't mean to kill anyone, let alone a child."
"Outsiders?" Fu Xuan was quick to grasp the word. Most people would directly say that they were players, but why did this kid say "outsiders"? Moreover, this self-sacrificing attitude seemed like he was facing a long-standing enemy.
"Are there other forces on this level of your building blocks? We are players, not from the force you think." Fu Xuan said, "We are here to help others send gifts to Liu Liu."
The child's struggle gradually weakened. He turned his head to look at them, and his angry expression gradually turned into embarrassment:
"Haha, so that's it... turns out he's not Lin Xiong's man..."
Fu Xuan let go of his hand and crossed his arms over his chest: "What is Lin Xiong?"
The child straightened his clothes, still a little embarrassed, and whispered: "It's Lin Xia's bear. Since you are outsiders, you won't understand even if I tell you."
After tidying up her clothes, she held her head high, forgot about the embarrassment just now, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to find Liuliu."
Fu Xuan still didn't believe her: "Don't lead us into a trap again."
She coughed and said, "...How could that be?"
I skated with them through the neighborhood, approached a pasture, and met the gaze of a group of tall NPCs jumping out of the woods. The child stopped the skateboard, held it in his arms, and said with a smile:
"It just needs to be checked by my sisters first."
