After I traveled through the book, I became an NPC in a horror novel

The tired man was cooking while thinking about how he should complete the task next.

He is a very ordinary office worker, spending his days doing repetitive work. Although he cannot be said to be exploited, work still severely destroys him. His face, which used to have a handsome appearance and had been asked for WeChat several times on the university campus, now has dark circles under his eyes. Sometimes when he is under a lot of pressure, he will smoke a few cigarettes to relieve his emotions. The whole aura of the tired man has become much more world-weary.

He entered this game by chance. Although this copy was not his first copy, compared to some old players, he was still a semi-newbie who only knew part of the information.

However, he was so unlucky that this semi-newbie was assigned the role of a single father in this dungeon. Originally, the tired man thought it was an NPC child, but the system specially assigned a child player to him to be his son.

"Hey…"

The tired man sighed. He didn't have much experience, so he definitely had negative emotions when he was assigned a kid as a teammate. However, his morals didn't allow him to leave the kid alone, and he didn't have the ability to protect the kid...

These random thoughts made the already tired man even more tired, and he even wanted to think about whether he should continue to struggle to survive in the copy.

Fortunately, Xiaodong was very obedient, sensible, and smart. She suggested to him that he send gifts to the neighbors to bring them closer together, and she also took the initiative to go visit the neighbors alone to deliver the gifts, which made the tired man feel a little better.

Although normally he wouldn't feel comfortable letting his child go to someone else's home alone, this was a dungeon and he had no choice.

Fortunately, the tired man can cook some simple meals. When he was a child, he often watched his mother make some candies and desserts. When he grew up, he sometimes made them for himself. Although he hasn't made them for a long time after working, he has not lost his memory, otherwise he would not be able to come up with anything to give as gifts.

Stirring the noodles in the pot with chopsticks to prevent them from sticking to the bottom, and holding a eager-eyed child on his legs, the tired man sighed and decided to put the matter of failing in the dungeon aside for the time being.

Xiaoyi had an extremely difficult night, because she knew she would only stay here for 7 days at most, so she didn't think about cleaning the house. Her luggage was piled up in the living room, and she would go out to find it when she needed it. But last night, when she was lying on the bed playing with her phone, she suddenly heard a noise outside the door.

Outside the room door is the living room, where there are various luggage.

One step, two steps, three steps...

The footsteps did not stop, but became clearer and clearer.

Xiaoyi took a deep breath, took out a stack of talismans, stood at the door with a big stride, and stuck a circle of talismans around the door with "pa pa pa pa pa". Then he put them around his neck, put on necklaces and bracelets on his hands, and finally jumped towards his bed. He pushed hard with his hands and feet, and pushed the quilt into the air. After it fell, it evenly covered his whole body, leaving no skin exposed outside the quilt.

Xiaoyi opened a hole on the top of his head so that he could breathe and closed his eyes.

The footsteps kept ringing, and sometimes they would bump into the door or the luggage in the living room, making a loud noise, whether it was accidental or intentional. Xiaoyi huddled in the quilt, and after making sure that the thing couldn't get in, he closed his eyes with relief.

It’s good that he can’t come in, it’s good that he can’t come in… I can sleep peacefully now…

Then Xiaoyi listened to the sounds of footsteps and banging doors all night long.

The next day, Xiaoyi, with dark circles under his eyes, said: “…”

After waking up, Xiaoyi took the props, stood sideways against the wall next to the door, and carefully pushed the door open.

There was no sound and the living room was empty.

Xiaoyi remained vigilant and walked around the living room, then began to count his suitcase.

It didn't seem like any valuables were lost to the naked eye, but it was hard to tell whether the suitcase had been moved. She didn't pay special attention to the location of her suitcase before entering the room last night, so she couldn't tell whether the suitcase had been moved today.

Xiaoyi pinched the bridge of his nose and decided to let the matter go for the time being. It was more important to go out and fill his stomach first.

After changing clothes, Xiaoyi took his keys and cell phone and went out.

“Ding Dong--”

The elevator arrived and the door slowly opened. Xiaoyi paused for a moment after raising his foot.

She had clearly seen a dark figure standing in the middle of the elevator, but the moment she looked up, the shadow disappeared, making her wonder if she was dazzled.

After looking at the empty elevator for a while, Xiaoyi walked in...

Nothing happened.

But when the elevator descended to the 4th floor, it stopped.

The elevator door slowly opened, and Xiao Yixiang took a step to the side and stood aside to make it easier for people to enter through the door outside the elevator.

A girl in a red dress walked in. She had red lips and curly hair. She looked like a gorgeous red rose, attracting everyone's attention.

The woman in red walked into the elevator, looked at Xiaoyi, whose eyes flashed with surprise, and smiled at her politely, "Hello."

Xiaoyi quickly replied to the beautiful sister who took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, hello."

The beautiful sister looked at Xiaoyi curiously with her big eyes flashing, and asked puzzledly: "Why haven't I seen you before?"

Xiaoyi looked at the beauty in front of him and couldn't take his eyes off her. He felt that the person in front of him became more and more beautiful the more he looked at her. She had a good temperament and spoke to him in a gentle tone.

Xiaoyi clutched her childish cartoon-printed white T-shirt, which still had oil stains on it, and explained, "I'm a new tenant. I just arrived yesterday afternoon."

The pretty sister looked very happy after hearing this. She came close to Xiaoyi and said, "So that's how it is. What do you want to do now? Do you want to go out and play?"

Xiaoyi quickly shook his head: "No, no, I...I actually came down to have breakfast."

Because it was already late, Xiaoyi said he felt embarrassed to come out for breakfast at this time.

But the beautiful sister did not look at Xiaoyi with a strange look. Instead, she recommended several snack shops near the community to Xiaoyi with a smile in her eyes, and then gently helped Xiaoyi smooth out his frizzy hair.

"Ding--"

When they reached the first floor, Xiaoyi chatted with the beautiful sister and then said goodbye at the gate of the community.

Beautiful sister: "I like you so much, let's add WeChat. I would like to invite you to my home if there is a chance. I haven't met someone who can chat with me so well for a long time."

Xiaoyi nodded quickly, "Okay, okay."

It is not easy to find someone in a dungeon who can communicate with you happily. Although she is an NPC, the beautiful NPC will make you feel better just by looking at her.
