I fell in love with my partner in the infinite game

Because it was too cold, Wang Xiu ate a lot before going to bed, and licked off the scum from the lion's head. The last bowl of hot soup seemed to warm her body.She was so cold that she panicked. The rain seemed to be falling endlessly. The whole city collapsed under the force of the rain. Maybe within a few days, this place would become a vast ocean and the whole town would be submerged.

Wang Xiu licked the corner of her mouth in a daze, and after staring at the rain by the window for a while, she went to wash up.She is really not used to the ancient salt and the like, but this lion head is delicious, but the soft tender tofu in the center has a fishy smell that she doesn't know where it came from. I can only gargle desperately to improve the uncomfortable feeling in my mouth.

After rinsing her mouth, she took a shower. Wang Xiu hummed softly. She felt that the dungeon was not as scary as the male student told her.She didn't see any ghosts and ghosts at all, it was a bit like a time-traveling feeling, she was already in her forties, and it was the first time she experienced such a life, except that the room was a bit cold, the rest were pretty good.

If he wanted to stay any longer, Wang Xiu actually didn't think there was anything wrong with it.Anyway, her son is not filial, he knows how to gamble every day, her husband leaves early, she is a widow and has no contact with her family, so naturally it is not interesting.Thinking of this, Wang Xiu walked out from behind the screen while changing her clothes. She didn't wash her hair just now, so she subconsciously ignored the fact that she seemed to have very little hair left.

The room was still so quiet, but it was a bit empty because of the absence of someone. Wang Xiu didn't know that woman, and of course she didn't want to sleep with her, so she was very satisfied with the loss of one person.

But after looking around, she saw a wooden statue of a woman standing beside the bed.That face was carved lifelike, and the compassionate and kind face easily gave people a sense of security. The expression of the wooden woman was smiling, and that smile was like a spring breeze. Although she was a little puzzled why this thing appeared in her room, But when he got a little closer, he felt a warmth.

Could it be the stove?

Wang Xiu smacked her lips, and she bravely approached again. The pores of the wooden woman's body exuded a warm warmth, dispelling the coldness brought by the cold rain.The biting cold wind beat against the window from time to time, making this bit of heat even more rare.Wang Xiu walked forward step by step, trying to put her cold hands on it first...

But he was caught off guard and pulled into her arms!

**

When it was dawn, a shrill scream resounded throughout the inn, and Xia Qianlan, who was half asleep and half awake, suddenly sat up from the bed.The quilt from last night was as cold as a block of ice in the second half of the night. The two had no choice but to press the quilt under their bodies and sleep in each other's arms to resist the cold wind.

The rain outside had stopped early in the morning, but the paper window had already sunk most of it limply, and the wind blowing in was so cold that Xia Qianlan couldn't help but sneezed.She habitually looked around the room first, but saw a 1.8-meter-long wooden sculpture of a kind-hearted woman not far from the bed.

The alarm bell sounded in my heart instantly.

She had firmly memorized the things in the room as early as the night she first came in. It was absolutely impossible that such a big thing hadn't been noticed, not to mention that it was only two or three people away from the bed.Xia Qianlan pushed and woke up Le Yushan, who was still a little fuzzy. The woman was sleepy, and the sound just now didn't wake her up. She was still yawning and looking around, when her eyes fell on the wooden girl. The expression on the statue's body suddenly changed, and there was a bit of ferocious fear in the eyes.

"Iron, Iron Lady!?"

Le Yushan was really a little frightened, and her reaction was almost subconscious, she grabbed Xia Qianlan's hand. After a night of freezing torture, even though they slept with their clothes on, both of their hands were cold .The wood-carved woman's body was full of heat, which continued to spread outwards, and she felt fortunate to have found a heater in the ice and snow.

But no matter how you look at it, it is unlikely that the store could be so kind as to bring in such a large and exquisite stove, and still keep silent without anyone noticing.Xia Qianlan didn't think she had a deep sleep, especially the pattering sound of the rain hitting the window made it difficult to fall asleep, so there was no reason why she didn't hear any sound.

It doesn't make sense that this thing suddenly appeared in his room without noticing it.

Seeing that "she" didn't seem to be aggressive, Xia Qianlan felt a little relieved and asked, "What is the Iron Lady?"

"It's a torture instrument that has been passed down across the ocean." Perhaps because of a cold, Le Yushan's voice was muffled, and she slowly got up and explained, "It's called 'Iron Maiden' in Europe, and the meaning is roughly the same. .This kind of instrument of torture is usually stuffed into it, and then..."

She explained too slowly, Xia Qianlan had already got out of bed, not forgetting the screams she heard a few minutes ago, and wanted to open the door to check.Seeing this, Le Yushan hurriedly followed them out, and after gathering in a room with a light on, the specific meaning of "Iron Lady" naturally didn't need to be explained in vain.

The door of the middle-aged woman's room was open, and the room was covered with wet footprints and muddy water flowing all over the floor, but the most attractive thing was the " Iron Lady".

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the smile on the wooden woman's face seems to be brighter than that in their room.

The "Iron Lady" fell down, and there were sparse blood stains all over the surroundings, and some even trickled down slowly through the holes.After Wuji frowned and opened the hidden door above, the scene in front of him made everyone present gasp.

Even veteran players who are as experienced as they are, this is the first time they have seen such a strange instrument of torture.

Those are long and slender iron nails. The designer cleverly avoided being put into the deadly parts of the person - the neck and the heart, but the iron nails sank deeper and deeper each time they struggled with severe pain, piercing through the body. Through the fragile flesh, cut and worn on the bone, the woman's face has been completely torn apart, the upper half of the thin face is separated from the flesh sac, and the lower half hangs softly, and is even viciously Stuffed it into his mouth, completely blocking the exclamation for help.

Wang Xiu was not dead yet, even though small holes were poked all over her body, and fresh blood was slowly flowing away like drainage, she did not give up her instinctive dying struggle.It's just that such fierce resistance caused the wounds on his body to be torn apart, and on the contrary, the pain became more and more painful.Especially the coals that were baked under her body, that kind of coal is indeed a good source of heating when placed in the boiler, but if it is directly placed a few inches below her body, the skin will be scalding hot, and there is no way to remove it.

The first person to discover the body was the boy whose roommate died before. After a whole day and night of rest, he barely recovered, but he witnessed a more tragic body that was still struggling. Because they are not friends who get along day and night, they have become a little numb, and they will no longer roll their eyes and faint.Because of Wuji's small favors to him before, this boy has unknowingly developed trust in Wuji, tall and big, he followed behind him like a little chick, as if he could seek protection in this way.

Xia Qianlan is used to Wuji's way of winning people's hearts.

It is not uncommon for players to act like Wuji in the dungeon. After a few times of being treated like a donkey with good intentions, others will know that it is the best choice to stand on the sidelines.In fact, Wuji's method is not too clever, only those who are not firm in their will or their brains are not good enough to really entrust their lives in the hands of a stranger.

"It's nothing more than two things, and that's what happens when you violate the regulations." The deserted deep and rough voice sounded slowly, and at the same time pronounced the final death sentence on the people inside, "Even if you pull it out like this, it won't help. I checked, she It should have been on its side when it went in, and then turned to lie flat, but now the iron nails have been pierced in, and it is difficult to pull it out."

What's more, with such a serious injury, if it is pulled out and deepened again, it may not be long before it will die directly.The short and fat man shook his head hypocritically and let out a sigh, as if he couldn't bear to watch the man struggling, turned his head and walked outside.

Of course, the rest of the people didn't want to stay in the dying room, especially the couple, who were whispering and walking faster than the desert.

Xia Qianlan walked towards her room, but turned her head away after the sound of footsteps completely disappeared.The conclusion given by the desert before was not the same as what she thought in her heart. Although Wuji later added that only those who violated the rules would be pulled in, this reason is still a bit far-fetched.

Because someone had been in the room, the messy shoe prints no longer had any reference value, and the filthy mud was splashed everywhere. Except for the smiling woman's torture device and the leftover empty plate, Xia Qianlan didn't look at it anymore. Seeing that something superfluous appeared in this room, the whole thing seemed even more weird.

By the way, what about the yellow talisman issued by the shopkeeper last night?

She suddenly remembered that when the shopkeeper of the inn distributed yellow talismans to everyone last night, no matter what he thought in his heart, only this one person showed extreme displeasure, and he took it down after the shopkeeper made a bad face. It doesn't look like it will be used at all.She and Le Yushan put Huang Fu on the bedside last night, discussing that if something happened, they would burn it or throw it away, but there was nothing strange except that it was a bit cold overnight.

After searching around the room but failing to see the yellow talisman, Xia Qianlan suddenly knelt down on one knee thoughtfully, and found what she wanted crumpled up under the bed.

But the difference from yesterday's original is that after unfolding, two very light strokes were obviously added to it.

Xia Qianlan didn't know much about spells and the like, but when she got it yesterday, she took a closer look at the lines on it. The two strokes added were extremely light and ingenious. If she didn't observe carefully, she might be confused won't find out.

When she stepped out of the door, she almost bumped into the girl's body, raised her eyes and saw Chihori's look of helplessness, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No." Chihori just looked in and shook her head, saying that she just wanted to see the corpse.Xia Qianlan stepped aside to make way for a seat, but the Japanese girl didn't go in again. She turned around and went downstairs to get a breakfast that she couldn't eat at all.

Coming to pick up the meal every morning is an inevitable process of deception, although except for Aunt Wang Xiu who obviously has mental problems, everyone will find a way to get rid of it. After "finishing the meal", the boy named Lin Su, whose roommate died the day before, came out first behind Wuji Desert's buttocks. His mental state was much better than before, at least he could finally repeat it. The scene was gone.

"I was taking a shower at that time, and Gao Kangcheng said that there seemed to be a child crying outside, and it was annoying." Gao Kangcheng was the boy who died, and the two of them were roommates in college. There was a scene of a headless and mutilated body. When Lin Su mentioned this, his eyes were in a trance, and his tone could not help being a little fearful, "Then when I came out, I didn't see the child. I just felt that the rain was coming in. I took something and blocked the window."

"Gao Kangcheng suddenly said he was bored in the middle of the night, saying that the bed was too hot. At that time, I was in a daze and ignored him..." Lin Su said with lingering fear, "Then there was some movement, probably he got up and opened the window. Then I heard someone The sound of 'quack, quack' was very soft, and then I opened my eyes and saw that he was still standing by the window, and I continued to sleep after scolding him."

After two days of rain, Tiangong finally took a break, revealing a bleak white color like a dead fish maw, without a trace of warmth from the sun.When Lin Su was talking about this, he stared outside from the beginning to the end. He had a vague guess that his roommate probably caused this because he opened the window and caught the rain outside. As for the crying child, Because Gao Kangcheng didn't make it clear, he naturally ignored it.

Xia Qianlan was thoughtful when he heard the words.

She thought of the afterimage of the child she saw yesterday.

The first appearance in the dungeon may be accidental, but when every accident is linked to children, it is impossible to take it for granted that it is a coincidence.She wanted to ask something more, but Wuji had already waved his hand to signal Lin Su not to continue:

"When the rain stops today, we must find out what happened here. Otherwise, if it rains later, we may spend a few days in the desert. Well, I suggest that everyone divide into two or three people. To find clues, it is best to ask the locals, and come to the inn in the afternoon to gather together, and everyone will fully disclose the clues they have found, and no one is allowed to hide anything, how about it?"

This is the copy he has seen that restricts the player's actions the most. People with poor hands-on skills may even be killed by the rain before they can figure out the background.As soon as this remark came out, several other people took it for granted, except for the woman in the couple.

The woman snorted coldly, and looked at Wuji with dissatisfaction: "Then what do you mean? After all, don't you just hand over all the clues we found to you? You risk your life?"

Wuji showed anger: "Look at what you said, don't share clues, do you think that one person can fight alone? This dungeon is originally a test of unity..."

Before the words fell, the woman snorted coldly, and quickly tore off a black mask hidden in his wrist sleeve, Wuji's face changed suddenly, and he wanted to snatch it from her subconsciously, But he was hit by a split hand.He has always followed the route of a kind old player in front of everyone, and it is impossible for him to suddenly get violent with a woman, and he is so angry that he clenched his fists tightly.

"On the first night, I felt that someone was going out at night. My husband and I lived on the other side of the stairs. If anyone came up, it must be clear. If there is movement on the stairs, it must not be people on our floor, you ghost What does it mean to wear this mask furtively?" The woman who caught him was a little smug, and interrupted Wuji's explanation loudly, "If you don't believe me, follow me to the door of everyone's room. Sprinkle some fluorescent powder, you can definitely see the footprints!"

"But the footprints are all messed up." The blond-haired and blue-eyed Oumei Yujie rarely spoke, but she looked at Wuji with a bit of vigilance and suspicion, "How do you prove that it is his?"

The woman sneered and didn't answer, she just took out a pocket flashlight from her pocket, pointed it at Wuji's body and shot it!I saw that the man's right hand was covered with thick and dense special fluorescent powder, but he himself didn't notice it.Of course, it is impossible for people who can get along to the present to be incompetent. The woman sneered and pushed Wu Ji, who had an ugly face, and her voice suddenly became sharp:

"Actually, I just lied to you! I only painted fluorescent powder on the doorknob, and the color of the powder will be like this after a few hours. You were the one who messed with Wang Xiu's room last night, right?"

As soon as this remark came out, it was like a bomb that suddenly fell into the lake. Even the husband and wife who wanted to protect Wuji just now were stunned, and their eyes wandered between their own wife and Wuji in disbelief.The woman glared at him aggressively, as if she was complaining about her husband's stupidity, and at the same time took his hand and said angrily:

"Why don't you hurry up and stay here and wait to be sold?"

She obviously didn't trust other people, she simply didn't want Wuji to continue bluffing and deceiving.Taking advantage of the clear weather, the couple walked out quickly, ignoring Wuji's embarrassing and annoyed expression behind him.

It seems that this is the first time for him to completely overturn in public like this. Even after seeing that Lin Su, who was already very dependent on him, silently distanced himself from him, the smile on his face couldn't be restrained. He dragged the desert and strode out.

No one was worried that the two of them would take revenge on the couple. After all, no matter how powerful the two were, it would be impossible for them to openly fight against all the players in the entire instance.When the others were about to go out, Xia Qianlan, who was walking in the front, suddenly saw a gust of wind-like figure rushing towards her. The tall and big boy fell to his knees in front of her, kowtowed with tears .

"Take me, can you please, sister Xiao..." He heard Xia Qianlan called that by others, so he took it for granted that she was called by this name. Thinking back to the horror of the first night, Lin Lin who had only gone through three dungeons Su kowtowed desperately to several girls, even the skin on his forehead was torn, and a few drops of blood stained the dirty ground red.However, Xia Qianlan was not a particularly soft-hearted person, and was completely indifferent when faced with such a humble request.

"I'm planning to go to a more dangerous place, and I have no time or obligation to protect you. Do you dare to act alone?" Xia Qianlan stared at him for a moment, then continued, "Let's go."

Not responding is already a tactful refusal, Xia Qianlan ignored Lin Su who was lying on the ground like mud, and walked out holding Nan Ye with one hand, obviously not wanting to waste time.Le Yushan followed closely behind Xia Qianlan like a little tail, and at the same time glanced back at the helpless boy kneeling on the ground.

Xia Qianlan doesn't like to take in people, maybe she is a thick-skinned exception.

But there is one thing that Xia Qianlan did not lie. When she heard that she planned to return to that village, Qiansui raised a strong objection.The Japanese girl tried hard to stop her with substandard Mandarin and English, saying that the current situation is unknown, and if something happens to her when she sets out now, she may not be able to return to the inn at night, not to mention that no coachman is willing to take them there. Over there is a dangerous area that everyone avoids. Even with a heavy reward, a brave man may not be able to appear.

"I have learned a little horsemanship, so you don't have to worry too much about it."

Xia Qianlan made up her mind when she woke up this morning. Since the dungeon said that they encountered strange things during the village inspection when they first came in, and the survivors fled, there must be more clues in there. , the request of the dungeon is to solve the ghost, and dodging will not be a good way.

"Then Miss Xiao Lan, please don't be in a hurry, we can discuss going there together after collecting the clues here! Even if you don't want to cooperate with Mr. Wuji, there are others!"

Chihori tried to dissuade her anxiously, but it was Le Yushan who seemed to have no idea who answered her.The woman's gaze slowly fixed on her hand holding Xia Qianlan's wrist, until Qiansui released it belatedly, and the corners of Le Yushan's mouth slightly curled up, blocking her and Xia Qianlan's hand. Among the thousands.

"If you don't enter the tiger's lair, you won't get a tiger cub." Le Yushan stared at Qiansui quietly, no matter whether she could understand the meaning of this old saying, "Sister Lan can do whatever she wants, and it's yours if you want to leave." Don't cross the line."

Chihori couldn't understand the first half of the sentence but could understand the second half. She was choked up and realized her impatience, showing a little shyness on her face.She was no longer obsessed with preventing Xia Qianlan from going to the village that only existed briefly in the background introduction of the dungeon, and after Xia Qianlan found someone to rent a bay red horse and carriage smoothly, she gritted her teeth and bowed her head to admit her mistake I also want to follow.

The carriage is not too big, but three people can certainly fit in it.Xia Qianlan is not the kind of person who likes to care about every detail. Hearing this, he just pointed to the back seat and motioned for the three of them to get up together.

The bay red horse was fed with fodder, and the woman's slender five fingers stroked its back and mane, and the horse was extremely obedient under the lead of the reins.In fact, Xia Qianlan had only learned a little bit from a horse trainer in the crew because of filming needs, but he did not expect to perform unexpectedly well when he got started.

Le Yushan didn't want to get in the carriage, but wanted to sit with her, in the name of learning more survival skills, so that Xia Qianlan wouldn't be the only one who could ride a horse if they spread out.Xia Qianlan didn't bother to expose the other party's small thoughts. Although she didn't know why Le Yushan was so obsessed with following her, such closeness didn't make people feel upset.

The woman who got permission smiled sweetly and climbed up neatly.

**

Xia Qianlan was holding a tattered scroll in his hand, on which he patchwork marked the specific directions of some surrounding areas. They were all in the carriage when they came, and it was dark and couldn't The outside could be seen, and the carriages passing by hurriedly carried people across the field ridges, finally allowing the people above to remember those scenes.

The season in the dungeon might be early winter. Even though the two people sitting outside were wearing heavy robes, they were a bit cold by the wind. The frozen soil looked empty and uneven.When the icy cold wind crossed the obstacles of the plain and cut her face, Le Yushan took off her thick and spacious robe and covered the two of them, her shoulders naturally touched each other, which made it a little better.

However, this horse didn't know the way to go, so it could only let people point it out. The markings on the map were not clear, and it even went back to the original road after tossing for a long time.Seeing that the originally white sky turned gray and black again, large cumulonimbus clouds were pushed and surged in the ocean of air waves, and a torrential rain that did not know when it would stop was coming.

Chisui Li and Nan Ye, who were originally sitting quietly inside, heard the rumbling thunder and sensed the abnormal weather, so they quickly poked their heads out to have a look.

"It's going to rain heavily!" Qiansui said anxiously, clutching the wooden door tightly, "I don't know when the rain will stop..."

Xia Qianlan didn't respond, but just ordered "Sit still", and immediately jumped onto the horse's back easily, whipped the short whip on the horse's buttocks, and the bay red horse galloped forward after being beaten painfully, and the vigorous figure quickly disappeared. The path between the fields.

Before the mountain rain was about to come, the violent wind had already blown the shed above the head to the point of being lifted, but fortunately, a house appeared in sight.Xia Qianlan waved the whip again, and the painful horse dragged the carriage and galloped away.

"Boom--"

A bolt of lightning tore through the clouds, illuminating the already dimmed world like daytime, followed by rumbling thunder.The moment Xia Qianlan undid the horse's reins and led him into the house, just as he stepped in, the billowing rain fell without warning, splashing a vast expanse of whiteness.

There was a strong rancid smell in the house, and the horse was a little restless when it came in, scratching the ground with its hard hooves.Le Yushan also covered her nose coquettishly. Just as she cursed about the broken place, she heard a crisp sound in the quiet room. It turned out to be the sound of the horse's hoof stepping on the crisp wooden sign.

Nanye swiftly rescued the shattered plaque from under the horse's hoof, but saw that on the old and air-dried handwriting, it was clearly written:

Yizhuang.
