Mo Xiaoyao approached the door vigilantly, and saw Leyin alone through the peephole, so he relaxed a little and opened the door to let him in. The cabin is absolutely safe, this is what the system says, Mo Xiaoyao is not afraid of someone pretending to be Le Yin.
"What's wrong?"
Mo Xiaoyao let go of the music that stumbled in, and closed the door casually, watching him slumped on the sofa like a puddle of ooze, his head buried in his hands on his knees, his whole body trembling non-stop.
"What happened?"
Leyin still didn't answer, and his whole mood was very strange. There wasn't even a kettle in the room, and Mo Xiaoyao couldn't make tea for Leyin to soothe his nerves, so he could only sit on the side of the bed opposite the sofa and watch him, waiting for him to calm down.
After a few minutes, Leyin raised his head. Under the bright light in the cabin, Mo Xiaoyao could easily see the bloodshot eyes in his eyes.
"Minzi is dead." Le Yin said in a hoarse voice, with some unstoppable tremors at the end, "I saw it with my own eyes."
Mo Xiaoyao was silent for a moment, not very good at comforting others: "My condolences."
Leyin didn't mourn, but his emotions became more intense. He stood up abruptly and paced back and forth in the room: "I saw it all! Minzi was killed by Sister Hua!"
Mo Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows, instead of trying to appease Le Yin, he went to the bedside table and picked up the microphone, and then dialed Jiang Yan's room number.
"… Hello?"
Jiang Yan came from the microphone a little impatiently, with a strong nasal tone, as if he had already fallen asleep and was woken up again.
"Wake up, I'm Mo Xiaoyao, come here, I have something to do."
There was a few seconds of blankness on Jiang Yan's side, and then the voice came more clearly: "What? Long night of sleepless sleep? Or—do you want to find a bed partner?"
Mo Xiaoyao said twice: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in sharing the bed with the dead." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone directly, then walked to the door and leaned against the side wall with his arms folded, waiting to give Jiang Yan open the door.
A few minutes later, Jiang Yan knocked on the door. Although he knew it was safe, Mo Xiaoyao habitually checked before opening the door and letting people in.
"Yo! How about another one?"
Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Leyin to be there. He thought that Mo Xiaoyao wanted to study dungeon rewards with him, and he wondered why he couldn't wait.
Leyin's mood was much better at this time, but she was still listless, not at all like the enthusiastic and cheerful boy next door.
"Liu Min, he's dead." Mo Xiaoyao was not that cruel, and had to force Le Yin to say this, "He said he was killed by Sister Hua, but I haven't asked the specifics yet."
It was only then that Jiang Yan straightened his face, walked around from the other side of the tea table, sat next to Le Yin with a dejected face, raised his elbow and arched him.
"Let's talk about it, it's useless to be in mourning all the time. Did that sister Hua threaten you?"
After taking the wet towel handed over by Mo Xiaoyao, Le Yin wiped his face, looked at Jiang Yan, then at Mo Xiaoyao, threw the towel on the tea table, and said in a hoarse voice: "I really regret it, I should have done it back then. I dragged Minzi away with you. That Sister Hua is a man-eating devil!"
With Leyin's statement, Mo Xiaoyao and Jiang Yan finally knew the truth. At that time, under Liu Min's persuasion, Leyin, who had no city government, followed her little friend into Sister Hua's organization.
It was really good at first, Leyin got a lot of information from that organization, some of which he was allowed to share, and he even rushed to find Mo Xiaoyao and Jiang Yan, and told them everything he could tell.
From then until entering the copy, what Leyin felt was the warmth from the big family of the faction. Here he seemed to have returned to the time before the band disbanded. He didn’t have to think about anything every day, as long as he was happy with his new friends. Have fun chatting, exercising, or find a drum set and beat it again.
It wasn't until Game Today appeared that Leyin got her own task, and was assigned by Sister Hua to join Liu Min and follow her into the wax figure copy.
Besides them, Sister Hua also selected several other people, but only Sister Hua and him survived.
"... Those wax figures are all alive and look like real people. I can't tell which is Toshiko and which is his wax figure. When he called me, I was squatting in a cabinet and dared not agree-before I I have seen a person who promised, and his neck was broken by the wax figure, how dare he go out."
Speaking of this, Leyin looked terrified, leaned over and picked up the towel on the coffee table, wiped the sweat on his neck, felt his mouth was dry, and wanted a glass of water.
Then he reached out and picked up the white porcelain teapot on the coffee table, turned the closed cups over three times, and poured water into them one by one.
Mo Xiaoyao's eyes widened. Didn't he say that neither food nor water can be taken out of the restaurant? Where did the water in this jug come from
Seeing her expression, Leyin thought it was distressing gold coins, quickly put down the cup that was raised to her lips, summoned her room card from her wrist, and planned to transfer money to her: "This pot of water cost 1 gold coin, sister Xiaoyao, Come, I'll transfer the money to you."
Mo Xiaoyao glanced at him and clicked his tongue contemptuously: "I can still afford 1 gold coin, but I'm just curious that there is water."
Leyin put away the ship card and scratched his head: "Tomorrow you go to the special duty-free shop to ask for a price list, only for drinking, and what is written on it can be directly refreshed in this teapot, that is, you have to pay according to the bill, and use the owner's Card."
After talking for a long time in one breath just now, he was in a much better mood, and when it came to the most critical moment, he subconsciously wanted to avoid it, so he told Mo Xiaoyao in detail about the source of the pot of water and how to summon it.
Jiang Yan saw the evasion in Leyin's heart, his eyes darkened, but he didn't rush him, but just sat on the side and nodded in agreement, wanting to see how long it would take before he could come out by himself.
Chattering, Leyin talked for more than 5 minutes, but did not get any response, and then slowly stopped talking, holding the teacup in both hands, staring down at the rippling teacup due to shaking hands. Clear water.
"... Minzi's voice sounded a little distorted at the time, but now that I think about it, he must have been extremely scared." Leyin's voice was very low, but much more stable than before, "He quickly ran to the place where I was hiding In front of me, I thought he was actually a wax figure, so I kept squatting without moving, just looking out from the gap in the cabinet."
Having said this, the music stopped again, as if the scene to be narrated later made it extremely difficult for him to speak. But this time it was okay, he only let Jiang Yan and Mo Xiaoyao wait for a few seconds, swallowed his saliva and continued talking.
"Minzi first stood on the spot and walked around a few times, and then Sister Hua appeared. Minzi was very happy at the time. I don't know how he recognized that Sister Hua was the real person, not a wax figure. I heard them chatting a little, and just thought When we got out of the closet and walked together, we saw that Sister Hua pushed Minzi against the wall while Minzi was off his guard."
"At first, I thought there was some kind of affair between the two of them. I was embarrassed, so I thought that after they finished kissing, I would turn around and I would come out again, so as to save everyone from embarrassment. After waiting for a few seconds, I felt that That's right, Minzi's voice doesn't sound like, ugh, it sounded like she wanted to shout something but couldn't."
"By the time I wanted to go out again, it was too late. Sister Hua turned around and looked at me. Behind her, Minzi, Minzi... just like a piece of human skin, sliding down the wall... covered with blood, The bones are gone, just piled on the ground..."
Leyin's emotions suddenly collapsed, and the teacup in his hand was thrown on the carpet. He covered his face with his hands and wept. Obviously, he had never experienced such a tragic thing in his life, and he was not sitting in front of the computer and watching the news. , but actually witnessed it with his own eyes, and the protagonist of the accident was still his good friend.
Jiang Yan sighed, first patted Leyin on the back, and then stretched his arms around his shoulders. It's useless to say anything at this time, I can only try to use body language to give the other party some comfort.
After a while, Leyin showed a weak smile and looked much better: "Thank you, I'm fine." In order to show that he can really hold on, he even made a harmless little joke, "I thought I could Get the love of the opposite sex, the result is a same sex."
Jiang Yan withdrew his hand and looked at him with raised eyebrows: "I'm so sorry, I'm the same gender as you."
"It's already very good." Leyin lowered his head, picked up the cup and put it back on the tea table, "After that guy left, I stayed for a while before I dared to go out from the cabinet. Minzi died so badly, I didn't If you dare to bring his person back, you can only roll him up and put him in the cabinet, at least you can prevent other things from being ruined... "
Mo Xiaoyao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "What are your plans now? Join that faction, have you signed the contract?"
Leyin looked up at Mo Xiaoyao, and smiled wryly: "I want to avenge Minzi, but I can't do it now—before entering the dungeon, I signed a contract, and I will never betray it. And even if I want to risk my life, I can't beat those people, I'm too weak."
Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows: "It's not too late to be self-aware."
Leyin didn't understand what he meant.
Jiang Yan stood up, folded his arms and looked at Mo Xiaoyao: "Tomorrow I will go to negotiate and ask how much I will redeem this idiot."
Mo Xiaoyao pondered for a moment: "I'll go with you."
Jiang Yan: "Is that why you can't bear to part with me?"
Mo Xiaoyao yelled at him: "I really don't want you to die."
Jiang Yan: "Tsk tsk, that means you don't believe in my abilities."
Mo Xiaoyao continued: "I quite believe in your ability to kill."
Jiang Yan rubbed his chin: "...Have I lost my charm recently? Why do I feel that you are teasing me?"
Mo Xiaoyao hehe: "It's not too late to have self-knowledge."
Jiang Yan tentatively said: "... Is it because of the phone call just now?"
Mo Xiaoyao: "Oh!"
Jiang Yan: ... All right, it's all because of my ignorance of the technology tree, what can I do? I can only carry it on my back.
Leyin looked at Mo Xiaoyao, and then at Jiang Yan. Although they were discussing how to redeem themselves, for some reason, they suddenly felt that they were a bit redundant now.
