It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

Chen Chong smiled, a look of relief in her eyes.

The people around saw that Chen Chong wanted to talk to Xiao Huai, so they went out to play.

Chen Chong knew Xiao Huai's plan, and he became a part of it, helping him a lot.

Even if most people know what will happen in the future, it is difficult to change it.

But there are always one or two people who go against the will of heaven and accomplish one impossible thing after another.

He and Xiao Huai sat side by side on a bench in the amusement park, their eyes fixed on the distant scenery.

The flowers and plants sway gently in the breeze.

Chen Chong suddenly asked, "What do you think horror games are?"

There was a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

Who knows?

Each world in a horror game exists independently, and not all people are bad.

If he had not entered the horror game, he might have died at the hands of those criminals.

They looked at this world, which was customized by players, and everyone was the master god of the world they defined.

Perhaps, they exist to add fun to the live broadcast room.

Or perhaps, their existence has other deeper meaning.

Xiao Huai half-closed his eyes and replied softly, "A strange existence."

His answer was so true that Chen Chong couldn't help but laugh softly.

"That's quite direct." Chen Chong nodded slightly. "It's indeed a strange existence."

Chen Chong continued, a hint of emotion in her tone, "What do you think will happen after you completely complete the game?"

For now, everything about the Eighteenth Floor is just rumors.

There are a lot of rumors about horror games in the forums.

But none of it is true.

As long as you don't pass the previous level, you will not be able to enter the game lobby on the next level.

"Then go and see what happens after that." Xiao Huai's voice was calm and indifferent.

After hearing this, Chen Chong's eyes changed slightly.

He looked at the peaceful scene before him, "Well, yes."

Then go and have a look.

Even though it's possible they really are just pawns to provide entertainment for the gods.

But even a chess piece caught in a vortex, controlled and manipulated by fate, has its own will.

They looked towards the vast expanse of blue sky.

Although the game world is illusory, at this moment, they seem to have touched some real freedom.

Xiao Huai lowered his eyes and gently stroked the edge of the bench beside him with his fingers.

The laughter of my companions lingered in my ears.

Xiao Huai raised his head and looked at the amusement facilities beside him, remaining silent for a long time.

However, Chen Chong seemed to have guessed what Xiao Huai was thinking and smiled gently: "Xiao Huai, I think he is waiting for you."

Chen Chong stood up. "I can't see anything about Lu Yuanshi clearly, but I can see this: in the next instance—you will meet again."

As if it were destined.

Xiao Huai's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes swept across Chen Chong's eyebrows.

He didn't respond, but the throbbing in his heart became more and more obvious, and his heartbeat accelerated unconsciously.

He wants to see him.

He wanted to find him.

He wanted to rush there without hesitation.

And they...will eventually meet again.

……

As night falls, the modern city is dyed colorful by neon lights, with tall buildings standing in rows and glass windows reflecting various colors of light.

On the streets, the sounds of car horns could be heard one after another. The pedestrians all had Western faces, walking in a hurry, with vigilant expressions, and looking around from time to time.

Suddenly, a man in a suit and a brown hat pointed his cane at the sky and shouted, "Look up at the sky!"

As he shouted, everyone looked up at the sky. The plainclothes police officers around him quickly drew their pistols and shouted into the intercom: "Quickly bring the hot air balloon down! Don't let him succeed."

In the sky, a huge hot air balloon slowly rose, like a giant eye spying on the city, looking down at everything coldly.

A huge black bag was hanging on the hot air balloon, with the mouth of the bag slightly open and a faint glimmer of light inside.

People began to talk and whisper, "It was stolen after all."

"We've already given a warning. Do these police officers have no eyes? They've all been stolen?"

"Catch him! That's a priceless treasure!"

Several snipers quickly took their positions, gunshots rang out, and bullets hit the hot air balloon accurately.

The balloon quickly deflated and began to fall to the ground.

The crowd on the ground cried out in surprise, and police cars rushed towards the crash site.

However, as the balloon slowly descended, the police rushed forward and opened the bag, only to find that it was empty.

"No... Impossible!" One of the policemen looked surprised and immediately looked around, but found nothing.

At this time, the man in the distance who first shouted "Look at the sky" quietly retreated into the dark alley.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly.

At the moment when no one was paying attention, he pulled off his wig, quickly took off his coat, and changed into a black uniform.

He tidied himself up and transformed himself into an inconspicuous student.

He lowered his head, walked around the corner, passed through the crowd, and disappeared into the bustling city.

And in the pocket of his school uniform was a priceless jadeite.

On the other side, several people next to the hot air balloon were pulling their hair in annoyance.

"What the hell... My stuff got stolen and I lost the game?"

The players in police uniforms looked at this place speechlessly.

They are now in the ninth-level game copy, and the players put on police uniforms from the moment they enter the copy.

I heard the words, "Welcome to the God's Horror Game, the ninth level of the game - 'Thief'"

"The Gods Live Room is starting up and has automatically connected to the live pool."

"Players, please enjoy the game, entertainment comes first!"

No game tasks have been announced, just prompts for players to enjoy the game.

They couldn't even tell who was a player and who was an NPC, because the number of players had been hidden since the ninth level of the game.

This is more friendly to players with hidden identities.

After entering the game, the only thing players can rely on is the constantly ringing walkie-talkie.

On the intercom, the police's voice repeatedly explained some key words: theft, warning, stop him, thief, K.

Even the most experienced players would probably feel lost when faced with such confusing instructions.

Among a group of uniformed policemen, a figure quietly broke away from the team and walked into the alley.

He glanced sideways slightly, and his red eyes were particularly eye-catching under the dim street lights, so beautiful that it was almost suffocating.

The sound of police sirens still echoed in his ears, but his pace was so leisurely, with the casualness and laziness of a teenager.

The wind blew gently, ruffling his short hair slightly, and he seemed out of place in the bustling city.

In the deep alley, Xiao Huai lowered his head to pick up the discarded coat on the ground, shook off the dust, and gazed quietly into the distance.

He did not rush into action, but slowly moved forward, his eyes fixed on the boy who had already walked away.

He was wearing a black school uniform, holding a heavy textbook in his hands, and wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He looked like a high school student who had just finished evening self-study.

Xiao Huai walked forward and patted the boy's shoulder gently.
