False Fairy Tale Copy [Unlimited Streaming]
Chapter 100
Trapped in the woods wasted a lot of time. When the three of them left the abandoned farm and arrived in the center of the town, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
Ming Shu and Xia Zhu asked several townspeople along the way, but no one knew where the Devil City was, and one of them ran away when he heard the word "Devil City", and they couldn't be stopped.
The other two people in the team were still on their way back. Shan Qi found a small shop, bought a thick cloth bag to hold the chainsaw, and said, "What is that devil city, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Holding the chainsaw in his hand, he looked thoughtfully at the townspeople coming and going on the road: "Why don't you try another side mission first."
Xia Zhu took over the conversation: "Is fear worth that?"
He took out the fangs he dug out from the graveyard, raised them to his mouth and gestured.
Shan Qi stared at a young man who was alone in the distance, ready to move: "Isn't it just to scare people? What's so difficult about it."
But I don't know what is the completion condition of "disguise yourself" in the main task [-]. Shan Qi and Xia Zhu got the chainsaw and fangs, and only completed the task of obtaining supplies.
The three found a remote corner, Shan Qi took out the chainsaw, and untied the hay tied outside.
He flicked the grass clippings off the blade and started the chainsaw, rolled up his sleeves and made a fierce expression: "How is it?"
Ming Shu frowned slightly, and couldn't help taking a step back: "It's too noisy."
It looks scary at first glance, but this is the street after all, and it is unreasonable for them to pretend to be ghosts to scare people before Halloween.
However, the movement of the chainsaw only attracted the eyes of a few passing townspeople. They turned their heads to look at this side, without any curiosity or doubt, and quickly withdrew their gazes and left in a hurry.
Shan Qi turned off the chainsaw: "The main line hasn't been triggered yet... No matter, you guys help me lure that person over there."
He pointed not far away, where a townsman, a young man of about 20 years old, was sitting on a bench by the fountain to rest.
Shan Qi planned to get that npc to a remote alley here first, and then scare him with a chainsaw.
Xia Zhu volunteered, walked over to the bench alone, and greeted the NPC in front of him: "Hello."
The young man turned his head and showed a friendly smile: "Hello, what's the matter?"
He looked very thin, with sunken cheeks and small patches of bruises under his eyes, making him appear to be in a bad mood.
No wonder it will become the target of Shan Qi, this npc looks timid at first glance.
"It's like this," Xia Zhu pointed behind her: "We bought some things...it's too heavy, can I trouble you for a favor?"
This excuse was a little perfunctory, the young man looked in the direction Xia Zhu was pointing at, Ming Shu stood at the entrance of the alley and lowered his eyes quietly, holding a dark red robe in his arms, it was hard not to be surprised by his delicate facial features Good impression.
The young man stood up: "Of course."
At this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and the number of townspeople on the street began to decrease.
Xia Zhu led the young man to a remote alley, Ming Shu stood aside with a complicated expression and said: "Sorry, we need your help."
The young man looked into the alley. Under the slightly dim light, a tall figure stood inside, holding a chainsaw in his hand.
Xia Zhu gave the young man a slight push, and Shan Qi rang the chainsaw at the right time, and raised the corners of his lips to make an expression that he thought was sufficiently intimidating: "It's so easy to be deceived, and vigilance is not good enough."
It is impossible for ordinary people not to be afraid of the scene in front of them.
The thin young man alone, stuck in a remote alley, Shan Qi has a rough appearance, the sound of the chainsaw in his hand is harsh, and the blade is mottled with dried and blackened blood. He really looks like a murderer with evil plans.
It was getting dark soon, and there were few pedestrians outside, so they didn't notice the movement here.
Shan Qi was full of confidence, waiting for the npc's reminder of the increase in fear value, but found that the young man's face was expressionless, and the ups and downs of his breathing did not change.
"What are you doing?" the young man whispered.
"Don't you need help?" The young man looked at Xia Zhu and Ming Shu behind him, and asked in a rather puzzled tone, "Where is the thing?"
The atmosphere froze strangely for a moment, Shan Qi gritted his teeth: "I'm talking to you!"
In order to show his strength, Shan Qi yanked the chainsaw again and strode towards the young man.
"Boom-"
The dull bell rang over the town, and the expression of the young man changed accordingly.
His expression turned to fear and anxiety, and he turned around and left.
Shan Qi thought that his deterrence had worked, but there was still no movement in the system. He refused to give up this opportunity and shouted: "Stop him!"
Xia Zhu was the closest to the young man, he blocked his way sideways and was pushed away.
"Boom-"
The second time the bell rang, the young man raised his head, his normal face suddenly became distorted, and his hideous facial features were crowded together, like a mess of rags being stirred.
Ming Shu was caught off guard and was frightened, he hurriedly took two steps back, and the young man left quickly with his head down.
At the same time, the few townspeople outside were also in a hurry, and the shops were closed one after another. Shan Qi chased after two steps, and finally turned off the chainsaw and turned back.
"Forget it." He glanced at Xia Zhu and Ming Shu, "This time the preparation is not enough."
Mingshu was still in shock, and said with difficulty: "Didn't you see it? His face..."
"What did you see?" Xia Zhu rubbed his arms, "This npc doesn't look very good, but he's quite strong..."
Neither of them saw the change in the young man's face, it was definitely not an expression that a normal person could make.
The street that was bustling not long ago was empty at this time, Ming Shu hugged the robe tightly in his arms, and was about to tell them what he saw just now, when another slightly familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Why are you still here?"
The three looked vigilantly, it was the npc who led the way yesterday.
The npc had a cold face at this time, his eyes glanced at the chainsaw in Shan Qi's hand, and he said rather displeasedly: "It's getting dark, go back quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them received a system message at the same time.
[Ding dong - side mission released]
【Mission [-]: Spend the night safely in the small town before dawn】
There was exactly the same side mission yesterday, but everyone was safe and sound last night.
Shan Qi tentatively asked, "Can't you go out at night?"
"Of course you can go out," the npc replied softly, "I just kindly remind you that there are wild beasts coming and going at night, so you'd better be careful."
beast?What kind of beast would come to the town, they went to the grove near the cemetery, but saw no trace of any beast.
"Boom-"
The bell rang for the third time.
Counting the time, it is about seven o'clock in the evening. After the third bell rang, the sky in the town suddenly darkened, and a hazy mist began to appear in the distance.
"Go back quickly," the npc repeated again, "The bell will only ring four times."
His words were meaningful, and he turned around and turned into the alley ahead.
When they came yesterday, they didn't seem to hear the bell, maybe they came in just after the bell stopped.
The other two teammates sent a message to form a team, saying that they went back directly, so they didn't come over to join them.
"Then let's go," Shan Qi said to himself while installing the chainsaw, "They're all weird people..."
The npc leading the way was elusive and always half-spoken, and the thin young man just now was not afraid at all when he saw him holding the bloody chainsaw.
Shan Qi didn't seem to take the bell and the npc's warning seriously, waved at Xia Zhu and Ming Shu, and walked back slowly with the cloth bag containing the chainsaw.
Ming Shu was always nervous, and lowered his voice: "Let's go back quickly."
Xia Zhu nodded, the two people's residences are not in the same direction, but they can still walk for a while, and the distance is the same.
On the way back, Ming Shu told Xia Zhu that when the bell rang the second time, the young man's face became very scary.
Xia Zhu didn't see it, and couldn't understand what Ming Shu said was "scary", thinking: "Is it because of the bell? He is not afraid of chainsaws, but he seems to be very afraid of the bell."
In other words, the townspeople dare not go out after dark because they are afraid of the dark.
Ming Shu shook his head to express his confusion, turned his head inexplicably, and glanced at the empty street.
When they entered the residential area, many houses were lit up, and the curtains were tightly drawn. It seemed that some eyes were looking at them quietly through the gaps in the curtains.
"Don't worry, close the doors and windows when you go back," Xia Zhu comforted, "There was nothing wrong yesterday, and there should be nothing today."
In fact, they can still live together, so that they can take care of each other, Xia Zhu took the initiative to propose it, and Ming Shu showed hesitation.
This place is too weird, the npc arranges all the players into a separate house, maybe there is some special purpose.
They were indeed safe and sound last night, but it seems that they can live together.
When the two came to the intersection where they were about to part ways, Ming Shu hesitated and said, "How about..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the sky darkened again, and the street lights on both sides of the street were turned on one by one.
Xia Zhu suddenly gasped: "What is that?"
Ming Shu followed his line of sight, and there was a group of dark shadows under a tree in the distance.
The shadow's figure looked like a person lying on the ground with all fours propped up, but he couldn't tell where the arms were and where the legs were.
The thing slowly raised its head, its head stood up at a strange angle, and it stepped out of the shadows, revealing its entire body under the streetlight.
"It" is blood red all over, I don't know if it is covered with a layer of clothing or exposed flesh, but from a short distance, you can clearly see a pair of huge pale eyes. Make a motion like a sprint.
Ming Shu grabbed Xia Zhu's wrist tightly: "Run!"
This is definitely not a human being, the two of them knew it well, they had no time to hesitate and wait, and immediately fled in opposite directions.
"Tat-tat-tat-"
The monster chased after him, the movement behind him was getting closer and closer, Ming Shu didn't dare to look back, Xia Zhu's voice trembling beside him: "Can you hide in another house first..."
They don't know if there are other players living nearby, and if not, will the townspeople be willing to open the door to let them in.
Xia Zhu couldn't hold back, and shouted loudly: "Is there anyone? Help!"
At the same time, Mingshu caught a glimpse of a house on the side of the road with lights on, and a man stood by the window, looking at them with a cold expression.
He must have seen the monster chasing after the two of them too, but he wasn't surprised or offered to help.
Ming Shu's heart sank, but what made it worse was that another monster-like figure appeared in the side corner, which seemed to be attracted by Xia Zhu's voice.
Xia Zhu also found out, and cursed in a low voice: "It's over."
None of them were energetic people, and they walked outside for another day, and they didn't eat dinner.
Ming Shu took a step behind, and heard the sound of "da da" behind him approaching, accompanied by rapid panting, something hooked his ankle.
He was unsteady and fell down. Seeing this, Xia Zhu turned around to help, but froze when he saw the thing behind him clearly.
Ming Shu fell to the ground, looked up to see Xia Zhu's frightened expression, a blood-red palm stretched out, and slapped him away forcefully.
The two couldn't care about each other anymore, and the second monster chased after him, and Ming Shu instinctively looked back.
The monster stood up with a bow. Its unusually thick arms looked about the same as its legs. There was not an inch of intact skin on its body. The muscles and muscles were bloody exposed on the surface. The head seemed to be connected to the back of the neck, and the pupils were as thin as the eyes of needles.
Ming Shu dodged sideways, barely avoiding the palm with sharp nails.
They couldn't run away from this monster, and they didn't have weapons in their hands, so they were about to die here.
With a sound of "poof", a blade suddenly pierced the monster's heart from behind, and the monster suddenly lost its breath and fell down limply.
This situation happened suddenly, Mingshu raised his head and saw a man standing behind the monster.
He didn't know when he appeared, and he looked like a town resident in his attire, but he covered his entire face with a mask and wore a pair of gloves.
He kicked away the corpse of the monster on the ground, another monster rushed towards him screaming, was also dealt with several times, stabbed in the heart and died.
Xia Zhu seemed to see a life-saving straw: "You, are you a player..."
The man glanced at him but didn't answer. He put away the dagger, took off his gloves, and stepped forward to help Mingshu up.
"Don't be afraid."
He whispered, his cold fingertips gently caressed Mingshu's side face, wiping off a bit of dust that was accidentally stained on it.
Seeing this scene, Xia Zhu's voice stopped abruptly, he keenly guessed something, opened his mouth and remained silent.
Ming Shu stared blankly at the person in front of him, noticing that the veins on his arms were bulging unnaturally, and his skin wrinkled strangely.
"You..." He seemed to sense something, his eyes were blank, with a hint of uncertainty.
Sang Yin pulled his sleeves to cover his arms naturally, and said, "Go back quickly and close the doors and windows."
He turned his head to look at Xia Zhu who was at the side, his tone obviously not so gentle: "Go back to your own house, we can't live together."
He knew what they were thinking, Xia Zhu was taken aback for a moment: "Okay, okay."
"There are only these two tonight," Sang Yin said after a pause, "I can't stay for long."
The slight sound of bones rubbing against each other came from his body, Ming Shu's hand was held, and he heard the person in front of him say: "I will come to you during the day."
Then he let go of Mingshu, turned around and walked quickly to the dark area beyond the street lights.
The touch of the palm seemed to be still there, and Ming Shu had the urge to chase after her, but now is definitely not a good time.
Xia Zhu also held back his words, and urged: "We can't delay, let's go quickly."
The two of them stopped hesitating and rushed towards their respective residences.
The moment Ming Shu returned to the house and closed the door tightly, the fourth bell rang.
"Boom-"
The sky was completely dark, but the street lamps were still bright, illuminating the empty streets.
Ming Shu's heartbeat was still fast, and he heard the sound of his own trembling breathing. He locked the door and turned on the lights, and checked the windows everywhere.
After confirming that everything was correct, he sat on the sofa in the living room, and the robe he brought back from the swamp was put aside.
Mingshu repeatedly thought about the person who saved them just now, his tone and actions...
He also said that he would come to him during the day.
Xia Zhu also went back to the house smoothly before the final bell rang, and sent several private messages.
[Private chat] Xia Zhu: Could it be that person just now?
[Private chat] Xia Zhu: Is that what I think?But why is he wearing a mask
[Private Chat] Xia Zhu: Where did that monster come from? It can’t be a wild beast if it looks like that.
The fear of escaping from the dead is still there, Xia Zhu keeps sending messages to Mingshu to relieve the tense nerves.
Now they seem to know why they can't go out after dark, but is it really safe to stay indoors?
Mingshu thought of the strange townspeople who stood by the window and looked at them but remained indifferent, and a chill rose in his heart.
Xia Zhu told his teammates about the situation they encountered in the team private chat, telling everyone to be careful.
The identity of the person who rescued them might be unusual, but Xia Zhu knew about it in the second copy, and concealed part of the situation, only saying that he and Mingshu returned to the residence in time, and the monster left.
[Team formation] Shan Qi: Is there really something strange?A house is a refuge?
It's not difficult to guess this connection, probably because Xia Zhu didn't say that he and Mingshu almost died, and it's not difficult not to go out at night, the replies from the other teammates seemed a bit perfunctory.
They were originally a temporary team, their outfits had been assigned, and they could be disbanded at any time to do their own work.
After the group chat quieted down, Ming Shu got up and went to the kitchen, and opened the refrigerator.
The food in the refrigerator is still there. I don't know if it's an illusion, but Mingshu feels that the vegetables placed inside seem to be slightly different from yesterday's.
He hesitated to pick up a bottle of milk and twisted it open.
- The lid of the milk bottle is airtight.
However, he opened this bottle of milk last night, and now it has been replaced with a new one.
Ming Shu put the milk back, closed the refrigerator and exited the kitchen, and sent a message to Xia Zhu.
Xia Zhu replied quickly, saying that it was the same on his side, and the food he took away in the morning was replenished.
Who has entered their house?The two thought of the npc leading the way at the same time.
They've eaten everything, and they haven't had any problems since the day. Being in a small town, they don't touch the food in the refrigerator, and they don't seem to have a second choice.
Finally, Mingshu mustered up the courage to reopen the refrigerator and took bread and a bottle of milk.
If the house is really their sanctuary, the things inside should be absolutely safe.
After barely filling his stomach, Ming Shu took the pajamas in the bedroom closet and took a shower as quickly as possible.
He dried his hair and returned to the living room, looking at the robes he brought back from the swamp.
The robes were clean and had no strange smell. They were made into the shape of a cloak with a hood.
Mingshu lifted it up and unfolded it, and it seemed that the size was also suitable.
The side quests of the others have all been completed, only he has to go to the ghost city where he doesn't know.
He put away his robe and opened the system's friend list.
Was it Yuan Chen who saved him and Xia Zhu at night?Or Sang Yin.
He also entered the dungeon, Mingshu was not surprised, but this time, he seemed to be different.
It's as if he knows everything, and he is no longer the npc who lost his memory like before.
Ming Shu looked forward to it but was afraid that he would guess wrong, so he opened Sang Yin's private chat box and sent two crying emojis this time.
After sending the message, a group private chat popped up.
[Team formation] Shan Qi: What the hell is going on, there is a man covered in blood smashing my door
[Team formation] Ming Shu: Is it the monster we met tonight?
Those two monsters were also covered in blood red tonight, Ming Shu hurriedly asked a few more questions, but Shan Qi didn't reply.
The other people in the team were also very quiet. After a while, Xia Zhu's message came.
[Team formation] Xia Zhu: There is a group of huge bats surrounding my house! !
Immediately afterwards, the news of the other two teammates followed, and unknown creatures also appeared outside their house.
[Teaming up] Shan Kai: Chainsaw
Shan Qi only sent two words, Ming Shu's eyes suddenly went dark, and all the lights in the room went out, leaving only the light on the system panel.
"Bang, bang" sounded softly, and someone was knocking on the window.
Ming Shu was extremely nervous, and sat stiffly on the sofa: "...Who?"
There was a chuckle from outside, and a young man whispered: "Baby, you took my things."
Ming Shu slowly moved his gaze to the side. Under the dim light, the dark red robe looked like a dormant black hole.
The man continued to knock on the window, coaxing: "Let me come in and see how you look in your clothes."
Ming Shu's scalp was numb, and he had no time to care about what the unknown creatures outside called him, so he went back to the bedroom as quickly as possible, closed the door, and hid under the quilt.
He didn't even dare to breathe hard, listening to the movement outside the house very nervously.
Can the house hold up?If he can't resist, where else can he hide.
Ming Shu was uneasy, but it was very quiet outside, and there was no sound.
After a long time, news of teammates popped up one after another.
[In team formation] Shan Qi: The chainsaw was taken away, I*
[In team formation] Xia Zhu: Me too...the bat smashed through the window and swallowed those two fangs
They were wiser and did not fight against the intruding creatures. Shan Qi said that the bloody man took the chainsaw and left.
The remaining two teammates were a bit unlucky, they were slightly injured, and the supplies they found during the day were still taken away.
Their side quests are also reset again, meaning they need to be reacquired.
Ming Shu never appeared in the team news, Xia Zhu was worried about him and chatted privately alone.
[Private chat] Xia Zhu: How is it with you?is there something to grab clothes
[Private Chat] Ming Shu: Yes
[Private Chat] Ming Shu: But he seems to have left
[Private chat] Xia Zhu: Where are the clothes?
[Private Chat] Ming Shu: Still there
[Private chat] Xia Zhu:?
Ming Shu didn't dare to get out of the quilt, and waited for a long time, but there was really no movement outside.
His teammates were still discussing what to do. He couldn't hold back his sleepiness and gradually fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Ming Shu opened his eyes and stared for two seconds, then immediately got up from the bed.
He cautiously opened the bedroom door, everything in the living room was as usual, the dark red robe was still on the sofa.
Ming Shu stared at the robe for a while, then took a step back, bypassed the sofa, came to the window, and opened the curtains.
His eyes fell on the window, and his expression became rigid.
The glass of the window was stained with dark green algae, which had been brought up from the outside, mixed with some moist soil, and water droplets slid down the glass.
That group of algae was deliberately glued into a pattern of love.
Ming Shu and Xia Zhu asked several townspeople along the way, but no one knew where the Devil City was, and one of them ran away when he heard the word "Devil City", and they couldn't be stopped.
The other two people in the team were still on their way back. Shan Qi found a small shop, bought a thick cloth bag to hold the chainsaw, and said, "What is that devil city, let's talk about it tomorrow."

This is definitely not a human being, the two of them knew it well, they had no time to hesitate and wait, and immediately fled in opposite directions.
"Tat-tat-tat-"
The monster chased after him, the movement behind him was getting closer and closer, Ming Shu didn't dare to look back, Xia Zhu's voice trembling beside him: "Can you hide in another house first..."
They don't know if there are other players living nearby, and if not, will the townspeople be willing to open the door to let them in.
Xia Zhu couldn't hold back, and shouted loudly: "Is there anyone? Help!"
At the same time, Mingshu caught a glimpse of a house on the side of the road with lights on, and a man stood by the window, looking at them with a cold expression.
He must have seen the monster chasing after the two of them too, but he wasn't surprised or offered to help.
Ming Shu's heart sank, but what made it worse was that another monster-like figure appeared in the side corner, which seemed to be attracted by Xia Zhu's voice.
Xia Zhu also found out, and cursed in a low voice: "It's over."
None of them were energetic people, and they walked outside for another day, and they didn't eat dinner.
Ming Shu took a step behind, and heard the sound of "da da" behind him approaching, accompanied by rapid panting, something hooked his ankle.
He was unsteady and fell down. Seeing this, Xia Zhu turned around to help, but froze when he saw the thing behind him clearly.
Ming Shu fell to the ground, looked up to see Xia Zhu's frightened expression, a blood-red palm stretched out, and slapped him away forcefully.
The two couldn't care about each other anymore, and the second monster chased after him, and Ming Shu instinctively looked back.
The monster stood up with a bow. Its unusually thick arms looked about the same as its legs. There was not an inch of intact skin on its body. The muscles and muscles were bloody exposed on the surface. The head seemed to be connected to the back of the neck, and the pupils were as thin as the eyes of needles.
Ming Shu dodged sideways, barely avoiding the palm with sharp nails.
They couldn't run away from this monster, and they didn't have weapons in their hands, so they were about to die here.
With a sound of "poof", a blade suddenly pierced the monster's heart from behind, and the monster suddenly lost its breath and fell down limply.
This situation happened suddenly, Mingshu raised his head and saw a man standing behind the monster.
He didn't know when he appeared, and he looked like a town resident in his attire, but he covered his entire face with a mask and wore a pair of gloves.
He kicked away the corpse of the monster on the ground, another monster rushed towards him screaming, was also dealt with several times, stabbed in the heart and died.
Xia Zhu seemed to see a life-saving straw: "You, are you a player..."
The man glanced at him but didn't answer. He put away the dagger, took off his gloves, and stepped forward to help Mingshu up.
"Don't be afraid."
He whispered, his cold fingertips gently caressed Mingshu's side face, wiping off a bit of dust that was accidentally stained on it.
Seeing this scene, Xia Zhu's voice stopped abruptly, he keenly guessed something, opened his mouth and remained silent.
Ming Shu stared blankly at the person in front of him, noticing that the veins on his arms were bulging unnaturally, and his skin wrinkled strangely.
"You..." He seemed to sense something, his eyes were blank, with a hint of uncertainty.
Sang Yin pulled his sleeves to cover his arms naturally, and said, "Go back quickly and close the doors and windows."
He turned his head to look at Xia Zhu who was at the side, his tone obviously not so gentle: "Go back to your own house, we can't live together."
He knew what they were thinking, Xia Zhu was taken aback for a moment: "Okay, okay."
"There are only these two tonight," Sang Yin said after a pause, "I can't stay for long."
The slight sound of bones rubbing against each other came from his body, Ming Shu's hand was held, and he heard the person in front of him say: "I will come to you during the day."
Then he let go of Mingshu, turned around and walked quickly to the dark area beyond the street lights.
The touch of the palm seemed to be still there, and Ming Shu had the urge to chase after her, but now is definitely not a good time.
Xia Zhu also held back his words, and urged: "We can't delay, let's go quickly."
The two of them stopped hesitating and rushed towards their respective residences.
The moment Ming Shu returned to the house and closed the door tightly, the fourth bell rang.
"Boom-"
The sky was completely dark, but the street lamps were still bright, illuminating the empty streets.
Ming Shu's heartbeat was still fast, and he heard the sound of his own trembling breathing. He locked the door and turned on the lights, and checked the windows everywhere.
After confirming that everything was correct, he sat on the sofa in the living room, and the robe he brought back from the swamp was put aside.
Mingshu repeatedly thought about the person who saved them just now, his tone and actions...
He also said that he would come to him during the day.
Xia Zhu also went back to the house smoothly before the final bell rang, and sent several private messages.
[Private chat] Xia Zhu: Could it be that person just now?
[Private chat] Xia Zhu: Is that what I think?But why is he wearing a mask
[Private Chat] Xia Zhu: Where did that monster come from? It can’t be a wild beast if it looks like that.
The fear of escaping from the dead is still there, Xia Zhu keeps sending messages to Mingshu to relieve the tense nerves.
Now they seem to know why they can't go out after dark, but is it really safe to stay indoors?
Mingshu thought of the strange townspeople who stood by the window and looked at them but remained indifferent, and a chill rose in his heart.
Xia Zhu told his teammates about the situation they encountered in the team private chat, telling everyone to be careful.
The identity of the person who rescued them might be unusual, but Xia Zhu knew about it in the second copy, and concealed part of the situation, only saying that he and Mingshu returned to the residence in time, and the monster left.
[Team formation] Shan Qi: Is there really something strange?A house is a refuge?
It's not difficult to guess this connection, probably because Xia Zhu didn't say that he and Mingshu almost died, and it's not difficult not to go out at night, the replies from the other teammates seemed a bit perfunctory.
They were originally a temporary team, their outfits had been assigned, and they could be disbanded at any time to do their own work.
After the group chat quieted down, Ming Shu got up and went to the kitchen, and opened the refrigerator.
The food in the refrigerator is still there. I don't know if it's an illusion, but Mingshu feels that the vegetables placed inside seem to be slightly different from yesterday's.
He hesitated to pick up a bottle of milk and twisted it open.
- The lid of the milk bottle is airtight.
However, he opened this bottle of milk last night, and now it has been replaced with a new one.
Ming Shu put the milk back, closed the refrigerator and exited the kitchen, and sent a message to Xia Zhu.
Xia Zhu replied quickly, saying that it was the same on his side, and the food he took away in the morning was replenished.
Who has entered their house?The two thought of the npc leading the way at the same time.
They've eaten everything, and they haven't had any problems since the day. Being in a small town, they don't touch the food in the refrigerator, and they don't seem to have a second choice.
Finally, Mingshu mustered up the courage to reopen the refrigerator and took bread and a bottle of milk.
If the house is really their sanctuary, the things inside should be absolutely safe.
After barely filling his stomach, Ming Shu took the pajamas in the bedroom closet and took a shower as quickly as possible.
He dried his hair and returned to the living room, looking at the robes he brought back from the swamp.
The robes were clean and had no strange smell. They were made into the shape of a cloak with a hood.
Mingshu lifted it up and unfolded it, and it seemed that the size was also suitable.
The side quests of the others have all been completed, only he has to go to the ghost city where he doesn't know.
He put away his robe and opened the system's friend list.
Was it Yuan Chen who saved him and Xia Zhu at night?Or Sang Yin.
He also entered the dungeon, Mingshu was not surprised, but this time, he seemed to be different.
It's as if he knows everything, and he is no longer the npc who lost his memory like before.
Ming Shu looked forward to it but was afraid that he would guess wrong, so he opened Sang Yin's private chat box and sent two crying emojis this time.
After sending the message, a group private chat popped up.
[Team formation] Shan Qi: What the hell is going on, there is a man covered in blood smashing my door
[Team formation] Ming Shu: Is it the monster we met tonight?
Those two monsters were also covered in blood red tonight, Ming Shu hurriedly asked a few more questions, but Shan Qi didn't reply.
The other people in the team were also very quiet. After a while, Xia Zhu's message came.
[Team formation] Xia Zhu: There is a group of huge bats surrounding my house! !
Immediately afterwards, the news of the other two teammates followed, and unknown creatures also appeared outside their house.
[Teaming up] Shan Kai: Chainsaw
Shan Qi only sent two words, Ming Shu's eyes suddenly went dark, and all the lights in the room went out, leaving only the light on the system panel.
"Bang, bang" sounded softly, and someone was knocking on the window.
Ming Shu was extremely nervous, and sat stiffly on the sofa: "...Who?"
There was a chuckle from outside, and a young man whispered: "Baby, you took my things."
Ming Shu slowly moved his gaze to the side. Under the dim light, the dark red robe looked like a dormant black hole.
The man continued to knock on the window, coaxing: "Let me come in and see how you look in your clothes."
Ming Shu's scalp was numb, and he had no time to care about what the unknown creatures outside called him, so he went back to the bedroom as quickly as possible, closed the door, and hid under the quilt.
He didn't even dare to breathe hard, listening to the movement outside the house very nervously.
Can the house hold up?If he can't resist, where else can he hide.
Ming Shu was uneasy, but it was very quiet outside, and there was no sound.
After a long time, news of teammates popped up one after another.
[In team formation] Shan Qi: The chainsaw was taken away, I*
[In team formation] Xia Zhu: Me too...the bat smashed through the window and swallowed those two fangs
They were wiser and did not fight against the intruding creatures. Shan Qi said that the bloody man took the chainsaw and left.
The remaining two teammates were a bit unlucky, they were slightly injured, and the supplies they found during the day were still taken away.
Their side quests are also reset again, meaning they need to be reacquired.
Ming Shu never appeared in the team news, Xia Zhu was worried about him and chatted privately alone.
[Private chat] Xia Zhu: How is it with you?is there something to grab clothes
[Private Chat] Ming Shu: Yes
[Private Chat] Ming Shu: But he seems to have left
[Private chat] Xia Zhu: Where are the clothes?
[Private Chat] Ming Shu: Still there
[Private chat] Xia Zhu:?
Ming Shu didn't dare to get out of the quilt, and waited for a long time, but there was really no movement outside.
His teammates were still discussing what to do. He couldn't hold back his sleepiness and gradually fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Ming Shu opened his eyes and stared for two seconds, then immediately got up from the bed.
He cautiously opened the bedroom door, everything in the living room was as usual, the dark red robe was still on the sofa.
Ming Shu stared at the robe for a while, then took a step back, bypassed the sofa, came to the window, and opened the curtains.
His eyes fell on the window, and his expression became rigid.
The glass of the window was stained with dark green algae, which had been brought up from the outside, mixed with some moist soil, and water droplets slid down the glass.
That group of algae was deliberately glued into a pattern of love.
