It's a new day again.
When Li Yang got up today and went to the living room, there was no one there. He didn't know whether the others hadn't gotten up yet or had already gone to look for props.
The latter is more likely. There are only 12 players left, and it is unknown how many places are left for passing the level. Everyone is very anxious.
Li Yang had nothing to do, so he wandered around the main building. When he reached the fourth floor, he saw the door of a room was open, so he went over to take a look.
She thought there was no one here or that it was a player living here, but as soon as she reached the door, she saw a sneaky figure rummaging around inside.
She remembered this person. He was one of Mr. Xu's followers. Now the other followers were either dead or missing, leaving only him.
I just don't know who this room belongs to?
The people living on the fourth floor seemed to be the female receptionist, three thugs, and five men and women. Now, except for the three thugs, the other six are dead.
Li Yang saw with his own eyes that the little follower found a backpack from under the bed. Inside the backpack was a rabbit doll with a torn belly. As he took it out, the cotton spilled all over the floor.
The man inside took out a razor from his pocket and put it into his backpack, then picked up the cotton on the ground.
Li Yang: "…"
My crime scene is a swap of props.
Seeing that the other party was about to come out, she took the initiative to hide in the next room.
Only after the footsteps outside faded away did Li Yang glance back and find that the room seemed to be occupied.
The quilt on the bed was piled into a ball and the sheets were a little messy.
Curiosity prompted her to search the house and she also found a backpack under the bed. Inside the backpack were two bags of bread and a bottle of water, which she could tell were bought in the town.
"These guys are really good brothers. They hide everything in the same place."
Li Yang stuffed the bag back under the bed and left the floor.
Otherwise, when the three thugs come back, they will think that she was the one who replaced the props.
As she went downstairs, she caught a glimpse of the shiny black Little Talent watch. Remembering the livestreaming room, she whispered, "I think that guy didn't just find a room. He might have taken advantage of other players' absence to secretly look at other people's items, and then decided that the thug's bunny doll looked more like the right item, so he switched."
The audience in the live broadcast room had already been discussing it heatedly.
[I thought so too! Honey, we really are so in tune with each other!]
[I remember when we were in the darkroom, there was a photo with that bunny doll in it, right?]
[Yes, yes, I remember that, but the focus of that photo is actually the nail plate!]
[So...the bunny stuffed animal isn't a clearance item?]
[Holy crap, is this what it means to steal a chicken and end up losing the rice?]
Li Yang didn't intend to make public the fact that someone had secretly replaced the props. After all, the replacement was wrong and it had nothing to do with her.
Now the question is...what about that male student?
I couldn't find anyone.
After thinking it over, Li Yang turned around and went upstairs again.
The fifth floor was quiet and empty. Even though it was daytime, it still felt a bit creepy.
The door of the manor owner's room was still closed, but Li Yang sensed a sinister aura inside.
Knock knock knock——
A low and eerie voice soon came from inside: "Have you found something I like? Come in."
Winter is cold enough, and this voice makes people feel even colder.
Li Yang didn't move. "No, I wanted to ask you if a young boy who looked like a student had come here before?"
"…"
There was no response from the room for a long time.
[???]
[Big Socks, what are you doing!? ]
[No, Mo Qing asked you to steal that boy's props. Are you really going to go? It's okay to go, but why are you asking the boss about someone else's whereabouts?]
[Wait a minute, Red Hair, why are you smiling so creepily? ]
Li Yang, standing at the door of the dungeon boss room, was not nervous or afraid. Instead, the smile on his face became deeper and deeper, and could even be described as cold and eerie.
It was as if between her and the boss, she was the one with ulterior motives.
The man and the strange person were in a stalemate behind the door for a long time. Just when the audience began to mock Li Yang for her wishful thinking and thought that the boss would definitely ignore her, a voice came from inside again.
"Never."
[? ]
People really do laugh when they are shocked and speechless.
[If they don't answer my weird questions next time I enter a dungeon, I'll give you a bad review.]
[Don't worry, Hongmao has been running the shop for many years and has never received a bad review.]
[Host, why are all your product reviews automatically rated positive when the time comes?]
After receiving the answer, Li Yang raised an eyebrow and said, "Thank you."
Before leaving, she glanced meaningfully at the closed door and said, "See you later."
After that, Li Yang basically stayed on the first floor. He met a few players who came upstairs, but neither side had any intention of communicating.
*
In the evening, the players gathered in the living room as usual.
Now the purpose of gathering is no longer to get useful information from others, but just to see if the number of people has decreased.
Mr. Xu's three bodyguards did not show up.
This means that there are only nine players left in the dungeon.
"Is that all the people there?"
The first person to speak today was actually the follower.
The three thugs all looked unhappy, especially the one with green hair, whose complexion was extremely dark.
Xiaobai and Yuqian sat there in silence, their anxiety almost written on their faces.
Mo Qing was leisurely sitting by the window fiddling with the decorative green plants. He showed no worry or fear about the future. It was unclear whether he was confident of victory or indifferent to life and death.
"In that case, let's go to the fifth floor together. If we continue to waste time, our quota for clearing the level will be used up, and we will be left in the dungeon waiting to die." The male student suggested.
"Okay, let's go. It's a matter of life or death, and this is the only chance we have to decide." The purple-haired thug agreed immediately, and his two companions nodded.
Xiaobai and Yuqian discussed quietly for a while, "Okay, let's all go up today."
Li Yang still looked honest and harmless, "I'll listen to you."
"Leaving now?"
"Let's go." Li Yang stood up and passed by the male student. He looked dazed and his mind was not clear as he walked.
The male student frowned and calmly patted the place where his right shoulder was rubbed, with a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
When they reached the fourth floor, Xiaobai suddenly stopped and pointed to a room at the end of the corridor: "What, what is that?"
The men didn't care and continued to go upstairs.
"No matter what it is, the dungeon is about to end completely. Even if it's weird, it doesn't matter."
"Let's go, forget it."
Mo Qing glanced at Li Yang, a playful smile on his face: "Ruoruo, do you want to go and take a look? I think you seem quite curious."
Li Yang ignored him and walked straight towards the room.
Inside was a female corpse with her stomach ripped open. Blood flowed from the room to the door and was absorbed by the bright red carpet.
What Xiaobai saw just now was actually the intestines soaked in blood, with the part exposed to the air already blackened.
"Who is this?"
Xiaobai and Yuqian also followed.
There are very few girls in this copy, and except for these three, everyone else is dead.
Li Yang remembered what the female receptionist said when he came up two days ago, "It should be the NPC who went on a blind date with the boss."
Yuqian was a little surprised. "How could she die? Was she killed by another NPC?"
"Killed by a player."
"Huh? How is this possible?" Xiaobai looked at the men who had already walked around the corner in disbelief, "Who dares to kill the characters in the dungeon?"
Li Yang shook his head, put his left hand in his pocket and fumbled for a while, looking a little timid. "I don't want to go up. I have no idea how to pass the level now."
Hearing this, Xiaobai remembered the important matter and for a moment he didn't dwell too much on the truth behind the death of the corpse.
She also had a worried look on her face: "We're not much better off."
"There are two props in total, and I haven't even thought of the first one yet." Li Yang sighed, "Wouldn't it be suicide to go up there?"
"Actually, the 'things the manor owner wants us to buy' aren't difficult to choose. Apart from the talisman paper, you can just pick any one of the things you bought."
Yuqian also nodded and said, "We found the props hint. As for the items to be purchased, as long as they can be used in the manor, they are fine."
"I see."
