"I didn't mean you, Lin You."
Before going out, Jian Mingjia gritted his teeth and looked at her and sighed.
"You made that bet rashly again, why are you acting alone now, are you sure it's okay?"
"Ah, ah, ah," Lin You waved his hands disapprovingly, "You still don't understand me? I'm sure I'm fine here, you just need to pay more attention."
Under Jian Mingjia's suspicious gaze, she unceremoniously pushed him out the door, while Geng Qinghe followed him very consciously, and he looked at her again with some hesitation.
"Sister Youyou, although it's not my turn to say this—"
"Then needless to say." Lin You was amused by Geng Qinghe, who was obviously stuck, and she said, "Okay, I understand what you mean, but save the candles for Mary Xiao—take this opportunity to find them quickly." See if there are other props."
Like toothbrushes appearing in the crevices of theater seats, special props may be refreshed in hidden and unreasonable places.
The bet she made with Mary Xiao lasted for 24 hours. According to the experience of the slender ghost, once the dust settled, it would be counted as a dungeon clearance, and there would be no chance to act again.
They had returned from the theater to the house she had "inherited" in the first place. She was the only one left in the room, Lin You closed the door and walked back to the living room.
It was already afternoon when we arrived in this small town, and the middle of the night in the theater had passed, and now the sky was turning gray again.
At four o'clock in the morning, the sky was about to light up, and the living room was brightly illuminated. But the moment Lin You stepped in, she suddenly felt the chandelier above her head flicker.
The light bulb flickered back and forth at a strange frequency, and in less than three seconds, the entire living room was plunged into darkness.
Lin You remained calm, raised her eyes and glanced around.
On the sofa, there were many balls of white cloth, and the cloth was bulging under the cloth.
She thought for a while, then stepped forward and bent down, but just as her fingertips touched it, the thing under the white cloth suddenly popped up!
The whole cloth was thrown on Lin You's body, wrapping her tightly.
The cloth became tighter and tighter, and it was almost suffocating. Coupled with the darkness in front of the eyes and the fear of not knowing what happened to the outside world, ordinary people would inevitably panic and scream.
However, Lin You is not an ordinary person.
This matter can be traced back up, and it is possible to interview the gap girl and the slender ghost, but Mary Xiao obviously does not have the opportunity to have a long talk with them now.
The guy who saw her hating her tooth itching was not only not scared, but also groped for a breakthrough, pulled the white cloth off, crumpled it up and held it in his hand.
"Is it fun?" Lin You asked.
With her other hand, she straightened her messy bangs.
"I also thought of a way to play it," she looked at the guy under the white cloth—Billy the puppet, and said with a half-smile, "Do you want to experience it?"
Just a polite question, she didn't intend to listen to the answer.
Lin You picked up Billy's collar, wrapped the large piece of white cloth in random circles and wrapped it into a ball. She carried the package, opened the balcony door, and swung her arms forward.
—A beautiful parabola across the air.
The balcony door was closed neatly again, Lin You patted the non-existent ashes on her hands.
Mary Shaw, who was attached to Billy and fell straight upside down into the bushes: "..."
Depend on.
She didn't give up just yet, making Lin You fully appreciate the spirit of perseverance after making comebacks again and again.
But people are immune. Later, she passed the puppet on the chair with its eyeballs rolling around, almost yawning, and put on a pair of sunglasses that she turned out from the bedside table.
The sun turned to noon, Jian Mingjia and the two came back, and saw the pair of sunglasses that had been thrown to the ground in a panic.
"... What's the matter?" She asked in a daze.
"It's not a big deal." Lin You didn't take it seriously, "Did you find anything?"
Jian Mingjia put her hips on her hips and sighed.
Mary Xiao's hatred was all concentrated on one person, and it was much easier for the two of them to act, but it didn't mean that there would be gains.
"I searched around the west of the town," she spread her hands, "I found nothing."
Lin You: "Nothing?"
Before they could respond, the three of them heard a sound coming from above at the same time.
Accompanied by subtle opening and closing sounds, the puppet's bulging cheeks slowly protruded from behind the cabinet door, stretching and deforming into human facial features—
With a "bang", Lin You felt nothing in her heart. She didn't even look at it. She raised her hand and pressed it, pressing Mary Xiao's face against the cabinet door and blocking it back hard.
Jian Mingjia: "..."
Geng Qinghe: "..."
Hearing the angry and unwilling roars and struggling sounds coming from inside, he swallowed silently.
The boss is really ruthless.
"It's a pity," the person concerned continued the topic just now as if nothing had happened, "I thought I could find another useful one."
"It would be nice to get one of the B-level dungeons, otherwise special items would be so scarce."
"... By the way," Jian Mingjia was silent for a few seconds, and pouted at the cabinet that was still shaking violently, "Is it okay?"
Lin You smiled kindly.
"certainly."
She is really as stable as a mountain.
Even after experiencing all kinds of nerve-wracking things popping up out of nowhere during the day, Lin You was not afraid when the sky turned dark.
The two went to the east again to try their luck. She leaned on the bed in the bedroom and checked the watch, guessing that the time was almost up.
She didn't care about it at first, she simply didn't turn on the lights at the moment, the room was pitch black, but she saw the curtains move from the corner of her eye.
… Um
Lin You calmly concentrated her attention.
It seems that someone is going to make a big move.
The doors and windows in the room are closed tightly, but the gauze curtains are automatic without wind. When it floated up and down slowly again, there were more figures on the empty chair by the window.
"It" was about the size of a young child, but if the eyes had adapted to the dark, it could be seen clearly. It was a shriveled, shrunken corpse, also made into a puppet. The eyelids disappeared, leaving two round eyes staring at this side.
The lips were rotten, and a few teeth could be seen in the gaping mouth.
A pair of skinny hands passed under the corpse's armpit, and slowly raised "it" to a position level with him.
Something passes through the puppet's head from behind, protruding from "it"'s mouth.
It's the tongue—a tongue that's been torn off in pieces from various victims and spliced together into one long strand.
You can still see the traces of their fit, and with the disgusting sound of rubbing, they lean forward.
Lin You sitting in front of that: "..."
"If you think you have too much tongue," she turned the SCP-063 that Geng Qinghe forcefully stuffed with her fingers, "I don't mind helping you solve this little trouble."
The tongue stopped.
"You should have experienced its effects firsthand." Lin You said with a smile.
After all, the puppet that disappeared after being pierced by it is also one of the clones.
Mary Shaw…
Mary Xiao shut up bitterly.
"Why are you—" she hissed through her teeth.
"Yeah, I'm so angry, why didn't I yell?" Lin You was in a much better mood than Mary Xiao who was about to pass, "But it's just a small problem—look, the time is up."
The dial coincides with the position of the previous day without bias.
"Come on, I'd like to bet and admit defeat."
She said: "It's you who said it doesn't matter, so since I won—"
"From today, you and your puppets are mine."
Mary Shaw: “…………”
Her face turned blue.
[Congratulations, the B-level dungeon "The Puppet's House" is complete.]
[Your performance in this dungeon has been judged as -S.]
[Name: Mary Shaw]
[Card number: 020]
[Level: SR]
[Remarks: A very paranoid ventriloquist, so crazy that he transformed himself and others into puppets. I have a long tongue because I tear off other people's tongues for my own. For unknown reasons, I hate spicy food, spicy food, spicy food! ! !]
Initiator of "Unknown Reason": "…"
Look at the repeated emphasis and exclamation point, it seems really annoying to be spicy.
"Suddenly cleared the level." Geng Qinghe, who also returned to his main interface, was caught off guard for a moment, "I almost didn't react."
"Because it's time."
Lin You said proudly, "I got another SR card."
And it's not just that—
She looked at her information column, and the S-level evaluations of the three cooperative modes were obtained, and the professional level had been raised to two levels.
The most direct manifestation is that the number of unlocked card slots has expanded from ten to twenty-five, and other skill changes have to be explored in the dungeon by yourself.
"We didn't get anything here, it's too bad there is no hair." Jian Mingjia paused, "Hey wait, look, an announcement was made, and the time is when we are in Benli."
"It seems that no one has been able to match the A-level book from the closed beta until now..." she concluded.
"So the official is considering the issue of balance. They will select 100 players whose strength is closest to the A-level copy through the system score, and then draw 50 ordinary players. How many A-level copies will everyone participate in the test?"
"...Drawing 50 out of 100,000 miles, I'm sure I won't win." Geng Qinghe said quietly, "Actually, I think if they wait a little longer, Sister You will be able to rank A."
Lin You: "Well..."
"I got it," she said.
Jian Mingjia: "Huh???"
"I just remembered to check the mailbox after you said that." I had been looking at the card and the illustration book before, and didn't pay attention to the exclamation mark there. "I have received the invitation letter."
Just when I left the copy.
— as one of those hundred players.
Geng Qinghe's previous evaluation was too low and he hadn't discovered his career yet, Jian Mingjia was busy with his internship and only played once yesterday.
But she didn't play for long. Lin You guessed that maybe it was because she got two S ratings in the B-level book
She clicked on the attachment of the e-mail, and suddenly there was something in her hand.
It's a thin envelope.
The seal of the envelope was neat, and Lin You easily opened it and took out the letter paper inside.
Only four words were written on it.
— Kisaragi Station.
