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

Lu Yuanshi leaned forward slightly, and Xiao Huai's eyes flashed.

Whenever he approached, Xiao Huai could sense his presence.

His smell, his breath, his voice.

Against the light, Lu Yuanshi seemed to laugh, but no sound came out. The vibration in the air caused by it made Xiao Huai subconsciously move a step to the side.

Suddenly, a hand gently grabbed his wrist, and the other hand put his arm around his waist and pressed him into his arms. Xiao Huai suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Lu Yuanshi's breath was beside his ears, and his voice was very low:

"My prey, you are not allowed to escape."

Xiao Huai originally wanted to push Lu Yuanshi away, but after noticing many gazes, he continued to be hugged by Lu Yuanshi.

The players looked at the scene of Lu Yuanshi "harassing" Xiao Huai in confusion.

I was about to ask why the NPCs were here, but now they all looked away, coughed softly, and pretended not to see anything.

Lu Zhi didn't even know where to put his eyes.

He wanted to look at Xiao Huai a few more times, but was afraid to look at Lu Yuanshi.

Sun Xingye was speechless. Lu Yuanshi didn't look like a novice, but he was actually bewitched by an NPC and became mentally unstable.

Ji Yelin looked at him a few more times, said nothing, and went out first.

After everyone left, Xiao Huai pushed Lu Yuanshi away.

"Lu Yuanshi, there should be a limit to how much you can joke around."

Xiao Huai did not avoid his gaze. Instead, he looked at him calmly, his brows slightly furrowed, and he seemed to sigh softly.

Xiao Huai: "I don't need anyone's protection, nor am I anyone's prey. I won't run away, and I won't die easily."

He walked outside, thought of something, and curled his lips:

"I'm a gambler and I like to steal. You have to be more careful than me when it comes to hunting—be careful, the gambler stole the one that belonged to you."

He tilted his head, lightly tapped the air with his fingertips, crossed the space, and touched Lu Yuanshi's heart.

He always remembers it.

I remember what Lu Yuanshi said, "Gamblers can't steal it."

It was obvious that he was not good at this, but Xiao Huai just wanted to say it out loud.

The hunter and the hunted, the thief and the stolen.

Active and passive.

He would rather be active than passive.

His life does not require interference from others; letting nature take its course is his rule.

Lu Yuanshi looked at Xiao Huai's departing back and smiled very lightly.

At noon, the players searched every corner of Aledi Village. Some places were so eerie that two or three people dared not enter.

After a busy morning, everyone was tired and hungry.

Some players in the hotel came out and asked everyone to go back for dinner so that they could sort out the clues they had obtained.

In the hotel restaurant, including Xiao Huai, there were only eighteen people sitting at the table where the food was refreshed every day.

Xiaoxue and Li Yao were in very poor condition and were still resting in the room.

This is a larger round table.

"I'm so hungry, really starving." A man didn't care about hand hygiene at all and just grabbed a big pancake and put it into his mouth.

Seeing that he had started eating, the rest of the people didn't hesitate and started eating too.

Anyway, there were no problems after eating yesterday.

Since the game requires them to hunt for treasure, you can't poison them with food first.

Xiao Huai sat at the table without picking up his chopsticks.

That faint smell still lingered around the round table.

But the food that Lu Yuanshi made himself didn’t have that taste.

If there is nothing wrong with the ingredients, what went wrong?

Chinese people prefer to discuss matters while eating.

Cheng Shan: "Everyone has been busy all morning today. Have you found anything special?"

A few people ate so fast that they almost choked. They grabbed their water cups and drank gulps before speaking:

"Yes! Yes, I found gold this morning."

"Me too. I found a gold ingot. It's absolutely authentic and the weight is correct."

Cheng Shan was a little surprised: "Gold? Where did you find it?"

They answered at the same time, digging in the sand.

"Can gold be dug out of sand? That's too..."

It's so bullshit.

In a place where the ground is covered with gold, the people here must be either rich or noble, but now there is not a single person in the village.

Ji Yelin held the chopsticks with her left hand, picked up a piece of steak and ate slowly.

"Is it strange? Isn't it normal to have gold in the desert?"

Lü Zhi: "It's hard to say. It's not uncommon to find gold in the desert, but it's a bit unusual to find it just by digging in a village."

Sun Xingye moved directly to the next topic: "I found the hair."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone thought there was something wrong with him.

Doesn’t hair belong to everyone?

No matter how abnormal it is, how abnormal can it be?

"You'll see for yourself. It's so scary that I didn't dare to look at it any longer."

Sun Xingye could also see the disdainful looks others gave him.

After he said that, the expressions of the others became a little unhappy.

Could it be? Is it really... weird hair?

Cheng Shan: "Then let's go check it out after dinner?"

"Let's go and see it now. I'm afraid if it's really scary, I'll vomit everything I've eaten." Someone suggested.

The others nodded as well. Sun Xingye smiled slyly, "What are you afraid of? Don't we have A Zhuolang? He will definitely protect us."

Xiao Huai was sitting at the very edge, and was inexplicably pointed at by Sun Xingye. He looked up at him.

The others subconsciously looked towards Xiao Huai.

He opened his thin lips slightly and said, "Okay, is this your invitation to me?"

There is always an indescribable evil in the smile on his face.

Sun Xingye's Adam's apple slid, "I invited you, will you come?"

"Of course." Xiao Huai answered without hesitation.

Sun Xingye was testing Xiao Huai and testing the underlying rules of the NPC.

Although I don't know why he agreed to come along, as an NPC, he really doesn't need to act with the players.

But after hearing his reply, Sun Xingye felt inexplicably relieved.

"Great, Azhuolang is here..."

As soon as Lu Zhi stood up excitedly and exchanged glances with Lu Yuanshi, he immediately sat down again cowardly and remained silent.

The group followed Sun Xingye to a dilapidated house near the hotel.

When I opened the door, a strange smell rushed into my nose.

Besides that, there was a smell of...gunpowder and gasoline.

Xiao Huai frowned slightly, and Sun Xingye twisted his nose and pointed at the wooden door ten meters away.

"That's it."

He didn't want to look at it again, so he just pointed it out.

Xiao Huai didn't give him any look and pushed the door open before anyone could react.

When everyone saw what was happening, they all stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

...It is indeed hair, but this hair is so disgusting.

The walls and the ground were covered with hair, as if they were growing out of the ground.

The room was dark, and the unique smell of oily hair filled the air.
