Cook in full swing in an escape game
Chapter 15
Dai Yi disappeared again, Shenlong didn't see the end, but judging from the information he reminded Zhang Jiu, Dai Yi has his own method for clearing the game, and he is definitely not a newcomer player who is single and must die. This person is full of mystery Feeling, people can't help but wonder, but no one dares to ask.
"He's really lucky." Chen Qi said eccentrically, "The owner of the slaughterhouse doesn't look like a good person, he should be safe, but the one on the seventh floor..."
Chen Qi gloated and laughed. Seeing that he and Wang Xin were about to quarrel again, Zhang Jiu proposed to go upstairs to see his NPC. Lin Sheng also felt that the atmosphere in the security room was awkward and he didn't want to stay for a long time.
In the previous world, although the players were all newbies, at least they remained friendly at the beginning. This time, although everyone has experience, it is a pity that the game has just started, and the players have already fallen apart.
Lin Sheng and Zhang Jiu waited for the elevator together. After the elevator arrived, Lin Sheng pressed the number 8 and Zhang Jiu pressed the number 7. Just as the elevator door was about to close, Wang Xin hurriedly ran towards them.
Lin Sheng pressed the door open button to let Wang Xin come up, Wang Xin thanked him, he could see that his face was not very good-looking, and he must have been ridiculed by Wu Zian and Chen Qi again.Lin Sheng was a little curious. Those two formed a close alliance. Are they permanent teammates?But it doesn't always feel like it.
After the system assigned the NPC, the players started to go about their business. The NPC that Lin Sheng wanted to protect lived in 804. The system introduced him very simply and rudely, with only three words - "Fortune Teller"
The voice-activated light on the eighth floor seemed to be broken. Except for the corner of the fire-fighting stairs, the corridor was completely dark. There were scraps of miscellaneous furniture and cobwebs piled up in the corridor. Other residents had already moved out.
Lin Sheng found 804 with the faint light.
"Who?"
A hoarse voice came from inside the house, and Lin Sheng replied, "Security, check the fire protection facilities."
He felt that Zhang Jiu's casually made-up name was quite useful, and as soon as the cat's eyes of 804 were darkened, the door was quickly opened.
Unexpectedly, the room of resident 804 was very dark. Fortunately, Lin Sheng's eyes had adapted to the darkness, and he finally saw the NPC he wanted to protect.
An old man in his 804s lives in 60. He has a slightly stooped body, a gray goatee, and cloudy old eyes that are lifeless. It is very uncomfortable to stare at people.
"Are you the new security guard?"
Seeing Lin Sheng nodding, the old man chuckled. His laughter seemed to be grunting twice in his hoarse throat. The rough texture made Lin Sheng's skin crawl.
In the name of the fire inspection, Lin Sheng went around the old fortune teller's room. In order not to miss the details, he deliberately moved very slowly.
Except for the fact that the lights were not turned on, there was nothing unusual about it. I don’t know if it’s the old-fashioned life style or to save electricity bills. There are only a few candles lit in room 804. The light of the fire is faint, matching the statue of the god enshrined by the old man. Inexplicably, it reminded Lin Sheng of scenes such as ancestral temple sacrifices.
During this period, the old man kept staring at Lin Sheng, who was just a few steps behind him, very worried about his appearance.
Seeing Lin Sheng turning around, the old man asked hoarsely, "Is there anything else?"
Lin Sheng had seen everything he needed to see, and Lin Sheng had no reason to hold back. Although there was nothing to gain, at least it seemed that the residents were quite safe.
Lin Sheng was about to say goodbye when someone knocked on the door of 804.
There is obviously no one else on the eighth floor, who will it be at this time?
The old man went to open the door, and Lin Sheng unexpectedly found that Mr. Zhang from 703 and his fiancee Xiaoyue were outside the door, with Zhang Jiu and Wang Xin following behind them.
Xiaoyue took a step forward, and said to the fortune teller, "You are Mr. Dong, right?"
Taking advantage of the communication between NPCs, Lin Sheng exchanged glances with Wang Xin and Zhang Jiu, and the three of them retreated to the corridor, Zhang Jiu said to Lin Sheng: "Mr. Leave the internal organs in the corridor and leave it alone, we went to the seventh floor just now and heard that he and Xiaoyue were coming to see Mr. Dong for a fortune-telling."
"Fortune-telling?"
Wang Xin: "Yes, Mr. Zhang seems to want to adopt a child, but Xiaoyue can't make up her mind. She said that every time she encountered a big problem, she would ask someone to look at it. I heard that there is a fortune teller in this building. So here they come, sir."
Lin Sheng: "I walked around inside just now. Mr. Dong offered a few god statues, but I found nothing else. Let's go and listen to what they have to say."
In the room, Mr. Dong was sitting upright at the end of the table. A few candles were lit on the table. The flickering lights made his face glow red, and his withered and aging face glowed with strange vitality. Xiaoyue and Mr. Zhang were sitting On the opposite side, he was anxiously waiting for Mr. Dong to speak.
The old fortune-teller looked at the horoscope of your birthday, and said after a long while: "Little girl, your family is well-off, but your parents are not in harmony. When you were ten years old, you got sick and almost died. You have little relationship with your brothers and sisters, and your friends don't like you. Very little, am I right?"
Xiaoyue was startled, then nodded quickly, "Yes, what you said is correct!"
Mr. Zhang looked at the old fortune-teller suspiciously. He didn't believe in the five elements of Fengshui and the horoscope of yin and yang, but Xiaoyue's family was in business, and he was the most superstitious. It's impossible to stop it, it's just a formality.
Mr. Dong stroked his beard in satisfaction, and continued: "If you believe in me, then don't adopt this child. This child will bring misfortune. You have a good fate and you will have no worries in your life, but if you insist on blocking others Sha, I can't guarantee what will happen."
Xiaoyue paused, apparently listening.
"What did you say?!" Mr. Zhang reacted greatly. He stood up and looked at the fortune-teller with displeasure. "What nonsense are you talking about? The two of us went to the orphanage to adopt orphans. This is a matter of doing good deeds. How did it get into your mouth? Will it bring misfortune?"
Old man Dong just glanced at him with a smile and didn't refute.Xiaoyue was a little anxious. She didn't want to adopt a child at first, but Mr. Zhang insisted that Xiaoyue had no idea. When she saw her husband lose his temper, she also became restless.
"Old man, why do you say that? My husband's phone has the child's birthday, why don't you take a look?"
"Xiaoyue! Let's go home. I told you that this is all feudal superstition. If you want to come, we have already made an agreement with the orphanage. How can there be any reason to regret it now?"
Xiaoyue was very embarrassed, Mr. Zhang grabbed her wrist and took her away arbitrarily.The three of Lin Sheng watched the two of them gradually go away, and vaguely heard another quarrel coming from the end of the corridor.
Lin Sheng felt that something was not quite right. He looked at the fortune-teller and frowned more and more.
Back in the security room, several people gathered together and chatted about what happened just now.
Zhang Jiu: "That's weird. That Mr. Zhang seems to want to adopt a child very much. His attitude is really strange. Most men don't want to adopt other people's children even if they are in poor health."
Wang Xin was a little worried, "I don't know if that fortune teller is accurate. If it is true as he said, this child will bring misfortune, then we must prevent them from adopting!"
Lin Sheng recalled just now, for some reason, he only felt that everything was inconsistent, so he raised his doubts to the two of them.
"Have you noticed that although Mr. Dong has read the horoscopes of the two of them, he only chatted with Xiaoyue the whole time, and didn't talk about Mr. Zhang's fate at all, and even ignored him, as if... .”
This feeling is really hard to describe, Lin Sheng was stuck for a while, he was still scratching his stomach, Zhang Jiu quickly replied: "It seems like he is a dead person?"
Wang Xin's face darkened.
Lin Sheng thought about it for a while, and he really meant it. Mr. Dong seems to think that there is no need to talk about Mr. Zhang, but Zhang Jiu's words are too straightforward. No matter how you say it, he is in front of Wang Xin. You must always consider his feelings .
Lin Sheng coughed lightly, and rounded things up, "Maybe Mr. Dong saw that Mr. Zhang didn't believe this, so he only talked to Xiaoyue."
Wang Xin's complexion softened slightly, but he was still worried.So far, among the NPCs that have appeared on the stage, only Mr. Zhang has the biggest goal. He not only finds faults everywhere, attracts firepower, but also is stubborn.If something unexpected happened to Mr. Zhang, he would have to finish the game himself. Wang Xin was suffering like an ant on a hot pot.
"There is one more thing." Lin Sheng added: "Xiaoyue admits that her family is well-off and her financial conditions are very good, which is strange."
Lin Sheng raised his head and looked at this building——the location is remote and the hardware facilities are dilapidated. No matter how you look at it, this is the place where poor people would choose to live. Why do Xiaoyue and Mr. Zhang live here?
"I think Mr. Dong still has a lot to say." Lin Sheng concluded.
Both Zhang Jiu and Wang Xin agreed with his point of view, and the hidden secrets may need to be further investigated. At this moment, the door of the security room was pushed open from the outside, and Chen Qi came in panting heavily.
"Damn it, I didn't find anyone." Chen Qi sat down loudly, picked up the bottled water and drank it.
The NPC he wants to protect is called Zhao An, who lives in 605, but Chen Qi knocks on the door for a long time and no one answers.
Chen Qi put down the water and looked around for a week, only to find that there were five people including himself in the security room, including Dai Yi, but Wu Zian was gone.
"Where's Wu Zian?"
Chen Qi immediately became nervous, as if his bodyguard had accidentally lost his employer.
Seeing his appearance, Dai Yi couldn't help laughing, and while wiping his dagger, he said: "Vice President of the majestic Rose Heart, why do you need to worry so much?"
As soon as this remark came out, all four people were shocked, and the rest of them opened their eyes wide, heart of rose?Vice president?
Lin Sheng recalled the scene he saw in the "Platform" square - countless players lined up to join Rose Heart, but Rose Heart was extremely picky.
Both Zhang Jiu and Wang Xin have heard of the name Rose Heart, which is the number one guild in "Sky Screen", with nearly a thousand members!
It turns out that this is the case, no wonder a little girl like Wu Zian is so energetic. If she is the vice president of Rose Heart, her strength should not be underestimated. It can even be said that Wu Zian's ability is definitely far more than being able to predict a part of the game plot. !
Zhang Jiu supported his heart, feeling quite relieved, "It seems that I met a big boss this time."
Wang Xin rolled her eyes, "If she thinks well, she won't care about our lives."
On the other side, after Dai Yi finished speaking, he stopped talking and just lowered his head to concentrate on wiping the knives. Lin Sheng remembered the staggering prices in the weapon shop, and became more curious about Dai Yi's identity.
A person who is withdrawn, has excellent physical skills, and knows the heart of roses...
Dai Yi, who are you?
"He's really lucky." Chen Qi said eccentrically, "The owner of the slaughterhouse doesn't look like a good person, he should be safe, but the one on the seventh floor..."
Chen Qi gloated and laughed. Seeing that he and Wang Xin were about to quarrel again, Zhang Jiu proposed to go upstairs to see his NPC. Lin Sheng also felt that the atmosphere in the security room was awkward and he didn't want to stay for a long time.
