Demon Lord 3

His dream is to one day return to the big world, and only we can fulfill that wish. After school, I started helping Zhou Chuyuan and Liu Yu pack. They were going to follow Lin Zhenfei to the Northeast, and since school was on vacation, Wu Luansen, Zhang Liangzhi, and I went house hunting. We might find something. Master Chen had introduced us to this, saying he was an acquaintance, so there was no need to refuse. We were just looking to see the world, so we made an appointment for tomorrow morning. We'd get together tonight and spend the night at the arcade. I asked Lin Zhenfei what to do about the car. He said there were driverless cars, and I nodded in agreement. After packing, we headed to the arcade.

This isn't an internet cafe! It's a free coin-operated game. Outside, it's 100 yuan for 50 coins, but here you can play as you please, but you have to be a member or an employee. Lin Zhenfei said he got the idea from that big hotel. I nodded, understanding his meaning, and started playing. I clicked on the basket that gave 100 coins at a time, filling it up immediately. Lin Zhenfei said, "Then let's go get some more beer. We're not going home until we're drunk tonight." As I was getting the coins, Lin Zhenfei called them over to get some beer. They were already out, and they already had four or five boxes. I asked what that meant. They said there's a custom in Northeast China where people drink by stepping on boxes, which symbolizes boldness and dominance.

I nodded in support. We would not go home until we were drunk tonight. We would drink and play games. The claw machine was really boring. If you use the loose clamps, you won't be able to catch anything all night. If you use the tight ones, you will catch everything, which loses the original meaning. Later, we changed to the blind box machine. The goods here are of all kinds. Lin Zhenfei said that he spent tens of thousands on this item alone. We are no longer surprised by this habit of spending money like water. In a blink of an eye, it was the next morning. We split into two groups and started to move forward. I met a new person here, the one introduced by Master Chen last time.

We booked a teahouse and started chatting. The man's name was Zhou Zhouliang. He said that he was not feeling comfortable living at home and asked us to help take a look. I didn't say anything at first because I didn't know much about this man's specific situation. Then I started asking questions, and he told us his stories frankly. The story began three years ago. He had just arrived here and met a girlfriend. They met each other online and found that their homes were very close. The more they talked, the better they got. After meeting again, they started dating officially. The girl said that she also came from a family of ascetics. He actually didn't know how to practice Taoism, but he deliberately lied to the girl and said that he did. After being together for a long time, he found out that neither of them knew how to practice Taoism and they were just bragging. There was no accusation between them. After deciding to be honest with each other, the girl felt that the boy didn't have his own house, so they were not suitable. The boy refused to listen and said that he just didn't buy a big one. He also said that he had money and let the girl pick whatever she wanted. The girl also chose a house according to the requirements, but it was for sale. The boy bought it with full payment without saying a word. He thought they were about to get married, but such a thing happened.

The story goes like this: one day, the girl told the boy that she seemed to be possessed by something. To avoid burdening the boy, he resolved the issue himself. They were already living together at the time, and the boy treated her like his wife. However, the girl still left without a word. The boy became increasingly anxious, fearing that she would face difficulties alone and get hurt. He decided to go out and look for her nearby, but he found nothing. He also found that he dreamed of her every night, and each time he dreamed unconsciously, he would wake up just when he was about to encounter her. This matter had been tormenting him for quite some time. He contacted us to resolve the issue as soon as possible and not be entangled again, but more importantly, he wanted to know if the girl was in danger, because in his dreams, she was in pain. After hearing this, I discussed it with Wu Luansen and Zhang Liangzhi and decided to go to the house first to check and confirm whether anything serious had happened.
