Chapter 22: Caged Bird4

Views:

Lu Ji folded several small gadgets out of white paper.

There are a little frog, a paper airplane, a thousand paper cranes and a little man.

Gu Jiu wiped the water droplets from her hair, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at some paper things, and asked, "Aji, what are these?" She certainly didn't think that these paper things were useless. In the game world, players rarely made useless things.

Lu Ji did not explain further, only saying: "It is used for night watch."

Gu Jiu looked at her with a look of joy on his face. He reached out and touched the girl's pale face, and said with a smile: "After leaving the Cursed Village dungeon, did you enter the game dungeon again?"

Zhutian Game stipulates that primary players can enter the game once every three days, and the three days are a buffer period. However, if the player feels that the time buffer is not needed, he can also request to continue to enter the game world without waiting for another three days.

Apparently, during these three days, Lu Ji entered other game copies and awakened his innate skills.

Lu Ji turned his face away uncomfortably, his ears turning red, and whispered, "This is the innate skill I awakened in the last game world - paper control."

"Very good, really amazing!" Gu Jiu clapped his hands in praise.

Lu Ji smiled, placed the little frog and the little paper man in secret places at the door and window respectively, took his clothes and went into the bathroom to wash up.

After Lu Ji finished taking a shower, they went to bed.

There is no entertainment in the game world. Even if you bring your phone in, there is no signal. The phenomenon of modern people keeping their phones in their hands is not seen in the game. Moreover, the fatal danger of the game is like a sword hanging over the player's head. No one will be so kind as to continue to use their phone in the game world. It is better to take the time to sleep and rest.

Gu Jiu has poor eyesight and has the habit of turning on the light when sleeping at night.

Afraid that Lu Ji would not be used to it, she only turned on the bedside lamp. The dim light was not glaring.

Gu Jiu fell asleep quickly.

Her sleep quality has always been very good, and she did not suffer from insomnia due to changing to an unfamiliar environment. This shows that she is obviously not that delicate.

In the middle of the night, she was awakened by the sound of footsteps.

Gu Jiu pulled up the quilt to cover his head and continued to sleep.

The footsteps stopped at their door, and then started knocking on the door. The knocking was so loud that it sounded like someone was hitting the door with stones, making it impossible to sleep.

Gu Jiu suddenly pulled back the quilt, picked up a pipe that he had pulled out of the closet beside the bed and was about to rush over.

A hand quickly pulled her back, "Gu...Jiu, wake up, don't go over there."

Gu Jiu turned her head to look at the girl who was holding her and said, "I'm awake now. I'm going to tear into pieces the things that disturb my sleep." As she finished speaking, her fingernails grew longer, and the pearly pink turned into blood red, becoming long and sharp.

If the night wind blew in and lifted her hair, she would look like a vengeful ghost.

Lu Ji stared at her and felt that she was not so sober, otherwise why would she take the initiative to find trouble? Miss Jiao would only sit aside and wait for others to help her work, unless she felt impatient and didn't want to stay in this environment for too long, then she would be active.

For some reason, Lu Ji could easily guess her temperament and behavior.

Just as Lu Ji was trying to gently persuade the angry young lady, there was a noise from the window.

An extremely strong feeling of being watched came over me, making me feel very uncomfortable.

They both turned their heads at the same time, and in the dim light in the room, they could clearly see an eye pressed against the glass window.

The eye was so huge that its entire eye socket blocked the window, and its pupil stared at the people in the room without blinking, like the eyes of a voyeur, revealing greed and lust.

Gu Jiu pulled Lu Ji's hand away and walked quickly towards the window.

As she approached, excitement and a certain magical charm appeared in that eye, attracting people to come closer.

With a swish, Gu Jiu opened the window and poked the eye with his long blood-red nails.

“Ouch—”

An inhuman scream sounded, and the eyes disappeared quickly.

As the eye that was peeping at them disappeared, the knocking on the door also stopped abruptly. It was unknown whether the knocking was caused by Gu Jiu's brutal act of poking his eyes or for other reasons.

Gu Jiu closed the window, drew the curtains, snorted coldly, and strode towards the door.

She opened the door. There was no one outside and it was quiet. Only the street lights in the corridor shone through. She could vaguely see a distorted black shadow disappearing at the end of the corridor.

Lu Ji glanced at the little frog squatting at the door and whispered, "Sister Gu, there shouldn't be anything to disturb you, just continue sleeping."

Gu Jiu closed the door and snorted again, "No matter what it is, you have to understand one thing, if you are weak, it will be strong. If you ignore it because of fear, it is a sign of weakness and you will definitely be bullied to death. Do you understand?"

Under the gaze of those beautiful almond-shaped eyes, what else could Lu Ji do except nod

Gu Jiu then lay back on the bed with satisfaction, but fell asleep again within a few seconds.

Lu Ji was lying on the side, he didn't expect that he, a great man... would be taught by a human, he couldn't help but laugh.

The second half of the night was very quiet, nothing disturbed them, and the two slept until dawn.

Gu Jiu got up lazily, had breakfast, and went out with Lu Ji.

They passed by two rooms next to the stairs, and the two doors happened to open. Qi Yuheng, Ge Guang and the twin sisters walked out of the room. When they saw Gu Jiu and the others, there was no surprise on their faces.

Although some things happened last night, as long as the players are alert, there will be no fatal danger.

Gu Jiu nodded slightly at them and walked down the stairs with Lu Ji. Although she walked slowly, she was very imposing, giving people the feeling that a young lady was arrogant and domineering with her followers.

"This girl is really impressive." Ge Guang said in a low voice.

The twin sisters also looked at Gu Jiu's back curiously, and turned to talk to Qi Yuheng, "Boss Qi, what happened to you last night?"

Qi Yuheng said: "A dirty eye."

Ge Guang: "In Boss Qi's mind, everything is dirty as long as it is negative, and the eyes that spy on us are naturally dirty too."

The twin sisters rolled their eyes at him and said, "There was a pair of eyes spying on us from our window last night."

After communicating with each other, they found that the situations they encountered at night were similar.

Maybe last night was the first night the players entered the game copy, so there was no danger, but the banging sound on the door lasted for most of the night, which was very disturbing to the sleep.

Ge Guang said with a grin: "It was indeed a bit noisy, so Boss Qi used the chainsaw to scare the thing away." In fact, Boss Qi almost poked through the eye with the chainsaw, which was very brutal.

The twin sisters were speechless.

Only someone as wealthy as Qi Yuheng could buy all the props in the game mall.

Gu Jiu and others came to the lobby on the first floor and found that there were already people in the lobby.

Apart from the regular players, there are only seven newcomers here, one less.

Ge Guang asked the newcomers, "You came to the hall so early this morning? Did you encounter anything?"

The seven newcomers looked at him with fear and trepidation. No one spoke. Finally, Ai Ruyi mustered up the courage to say, "No! We didn't sleep all night last night. We have been guarding here since dawn."

The noise last night almost scared them, especially the eye outside the window. Even with the curtains drawn, they couldn't block it out. They always felt like it was spying on them. The strong feeling of being spied on made them dare not fall asleep at all. After keeping their eyes open until dawn, they hurried here.

It seems that only when everyone is crowded together can they feel a little safe.

There are nine newcomers entering the game world this time. Excluding the Shamatte thug who died in the gray fog yesterday, there are eight people left, but there are only seven here, which shows that another newcomer has encountered trouble.

The players' expressions weren't very good either.

The faster the newcomers die, the greater the danger hidden in the game world. Being a "bird" in a cage is not as simple as it seems.

After the players communicated with each other, they found that there was indeed no danger last night. The prying eyes in the window and the banging on the door only served as distractions. As long as they did not take the initiative to pay attention to them, they would not trigger the death mechanism.

Ge Guang asked, "Which room does the newcomer who didn't show up live in?"

A newcomer tremblingly said, "He lives in the first room on the left at the staircase on the third floor."

After getting the room number, the players went directly to the third floor to check.

The door was not locked, but just covered, and it opened with a gentle push. The room was clean and tidy, with no other signs except for the sheets randomly placed on the bed, which proved that someone had slept last night.

Suddenly, a player squatted down and scratched the gap between the tiles with his fingers, "There are residual blood stains here."

Others squeezed over and barely saw a little bloodstain that had not been cleaned up, realizing that the newcomer who had stayed in this room last night had met with an accident.

"Why didn't he find someone to live with last night?" Ge Guang asked curiously. He had specifically reminded these newcomers that it would be best for two people to live in the same room so that they would have someone to look after them if anything happened.

Ai Ruyi pouted and said, "That man is a heavy smoker and stinks all over. Who would want to live in the same room with him?"

There is only one bed in the room. Who would want to live in it with a stinky man who reeks of cigarettes and stench

This reason was so powerful that Ge Guang said nothing more.

Everyone returned to the lobby on the first floor. The hungry people couldn't help but run to the kitchen and restaurant to search, but they found that the kitchen was still empty, and there were still plates of bird food in the restaurant, which was almost despairing.

If it were just some bird food, it wouldn't look like anything special.

The problem is that this long table is very large, and there is too much bird food on the table. Placing them on the table like exquisite Western food will only make people feel uncomfortable, especially the strong smell of the feed. People with sensitive noses can't stand the smell and easily want to vomit.

Among the many bird foods, there is still a plate of white rice.

There are ten people here who have no food. A plate of white rice can only feed three grown men at most, and the remaining seven will go hungry.

The three official players who had no food were not afraid. They found other players who had purchased food from the mall and exchanged their points for it.

Seven newlyweds ate one plate of white rice, which didn’t fill them up, but they also didn’t feel hungry.

After breakfast, the players continued searching the villa.

The task given by the game is to survive for seven days. It is impossible for players to do nothing. They have to familiarize themselves with the environment as much as possible and find out the hidden information in the villa, maybe to avoid some dangers.

Of course, there are also people who do nothing.

When Ge Guang passed the lobby on the first floor, he first glanced at Qi Yuheng who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, then looked at Gu Jiu who was sitting on the balcony basking in the sun, and her follower, the sick girl, and couldn't help scratching his head.

These three people are really leisurely.

Is this the cultivation of a big boss

The day passed by with nothing to do and it soon got dark.

The players went back to their rooms to rest, and the newcomers saw this. Although some of them were extremely timid about the eyes and knocks on the door last night, they knew that everyone had left, so they didn't dare to stay alone in the hall and hurriedly followed them upstairs.

**

Gu Jiu was taking a shower when he heard a rustling sound, like some long insect crawling in the grass, or someone dragging something across the ground.

She wrapped herself in a bath towel, wiped the water droplets off her face, and was about to pick up her glasses on the washstand when she found that they were empty.

Gu Jiu did not show any panic. He looked around the bathroom with a pair of eyes that seemed to be stained with gray, and finally his gaze fixed on the mirror.

She looked at the blood-red ghost in the mirror and said calmly, "Give me back my glasses."

Without her glasses, she couldn't see clearly what the ghost in the mirror looked like, but she could tell from the distorted blood-red color that the ghost was twisting towards her triumphantly, as if it was very happy to tease her like this.

Gu Jiu smiled, and it was a very gentle smile, but his next action was not gentle at all.

She violently stretched out her hand to pinch the ghost in the mirror. The Banshee Armor pinched the ghost's head and dragged it out of the mirror.

“Ahh—”
