Xiao Lan left from Wang Teddy's room and walked alone in the player's residence in the dark.
Before he asked Wang Teddy if he needed his help to pass the level, but Wang Teddy refused.
Wang Teddy's attitude is very firm: "I am already an intermediate player, and I still have my own skills. My brother used to arrange a lot of combat training for me and gave me so many props."
"I don't lack clearance experience or anything, but I have never tried to carry it all by myself before."
"This time I will rely on my own strength to upgrade."
"If I can't even do this, why should I save my brother."
At that moment, the cheerfulness and optimism that he had cultivated under the protection of Wang Ke seemed to be abruptly stripped away.
The boy was like a cub that had lost its shelter, and began to try to show his fangs and claws.
Although he still looked haggard, after noticing the look in his eyes, Xiao Lan instead let go of the worries about him.
People who have such eyes will not die easily.
Maybe soon, there will really be such a young man in the queue of advanced players.
—
The player residence at night is still crowded, and there are people who pass the game almost every moment, and there are also players who never come back at any time.
On the way, Xiao Lan overheard the conversation between the two players.
"Have you heard? There has been a strange incident in the rookie field recently."
"If there is a fart, let it go, don't talk about it."
"Eh, what's your attitude! Forget it... I heard that a newcomer killed all the other newcomer players in the entire game. Pay attention to killing, not using the rules to cheat to death."
"How is it possible?! He was not killed by the player's converted npc..."
"Who knows, maybe there is a bug. But it's true. The old player who matched the game said after he escaped. That kid seems to be a swordsman in the first place, and his shot is very harsh."
"Why does it sound like you made it up?"
"Fart, what did I make up for?! Now that many people know, you can ask whatever you want. That guy has cleared the level, maybe you will see it sometime, anyway, I don't want to match the embryonic killer at all."
The two junior players yelled and walked away.
Xiao Lan frowned.
This kind of wanton killing of players without punishment reminded him of the chase he saw in his dream, but it was a long time ago, and the rules of coming to the world have also changed.
Why does it happen again
Could it be that the coming world is quietly changing
This is not good news...
Xiao Lan returned to the room and talked to Luo about the Wang family brothers.
Luo's tea pouring action is not rushing, he said with a faint expression: "Perhaps this is a better development for them. According to the original words, it is difficult for me to see hope from them."
Later, the two chatted again about the conversation Xiao Lan heard on the road.
But because of too little information, it is difficult to analyze what. It is possible that a change has occurred in the world, or it is just a bug.
In the rest of the time, Xiao Lan basically spent the time between training and returning to the real world to rest.
Occasionally contact Wang Teddy to make sure that the other party is still alive and kicking.
Soon these six months passed.
Finally, the time to enter the game came again.
—
Because it was the first time to enter the high-level field, Xiao Lan raised all guards.
He originally thought that the danger of the advanced field would begin when he entered the game, and he was even ready to fight.
Unexpectedly, after the darkness faded, the surrounding environment was very lively and full of smoke.
This is on a moving train.
Different from the dark, old and empty and weird train at Metro Station 13, this train looks like it’s going through a vacation. There are many passengers on the train. There are men, women and children of all ages, chatting, eating, and playing cards everywhere. Yes.
The accents of different places are intertwined, forming a lively and leisurely scene.
It looks no different from those who travel by train in reality.
This is the most lively scene Xiao Lan has seen in the game since entering the world of Advent.
At this moment, he and Luo were sitting face to face, and there were no other passengers beside them.
Xiao Lan looked around, but didn't see anyone who was suspected of being a player, feeling that after reaching the Intermediate level, Arrival World liked to separate the players more and more.
On the table in front of them, some books and papers were placed in a mess.
According to the settings, these should be what they are looking at, probably the prompts the game gives players.
The train is still moving forward and will not stop for a while.
Xiao Lan checked what was in front of her eyes.
It's some notebooks, tickets, and an envelope.
There is also a cover book of horror novels. The cover of each book looks horrible and weird. The author is a writer named Crow, and I don't know what collection value this thing has.
On the other side is a diary.
People who have the habit of writing diaries in this age are really rare
But after opening it, Xiao Lan felt that it was not so much a diary as a book of reading notes, and a collection of rainbow farts for Teacher Crow.
[On February 26, every word of Teacher Crow is the most extreme creativity of the creator, how could a mortal reach this point]
[On March 3, every punctuation mark of Teacher Crow was perfect, and there are priceless treasures hidden in it]
[On May 24th, after reading this book, I feel that I have found the meaning of life, my soul, my thoughts, everything about me is shouting for Teacher Crow]
The above praises the work of Master Crow in a large amount of words, exaggerated and sloppy, and even listed Crow as his life mentor many times.
It's as if the owner of this diary is not reading horror novels, but religious or inspirational works.
Obviously, the role played by Xiao Lan is simply an avid book fan of the author Crow.
It still looks... the kind of brain that is about to break—
Remnant fan.
Xiao Lan turned her gaze to Luo: "How about you?"
Luo raised his head and turned what he was looking at to Xiao Lan:
【Ah ah ah ah ah! ! ! I love crows! ! ! I want to give birth to a monkey for Teacher Crow! ! ! ! ! ! 】
[Crow Crow (Love) Crow Crow (Love) Crow Crow (Love) Crow Crow (Love) Crow Crow (Love) Crow Crow (Love) Crow Crow (Love) Crow Crow (Love) Crow Crow (Love)]
With so many words arranged together, there is no sound, but it makes people feel that the eyes are noisy.
Crazy confession on paper, with Shang Luo's calm expression and elegant posture, there is a special sense of joy.
Xiao Lan: "..."
The identity in Luo draw seems to be more ill.
What magic power does this author named Crow have? How come every book fan is so top-notch.
He continued to return his attention to the table, but unfortunately there was no Crow's book on the table for him to read.
Xiao Lan turned up a handbook in a pile of papers, which contained various printed news and cut newspapers, all about the disappearance of the writer Crow.
Judging from the data compiled, the crow has been missing for nine years.
After the disappearance of the crow, there was a trend of searching for the crow among his readers. They were looking for any clues related to the disappearance of the crow, hoping to find him.
Even after nine years, there are still old readers who don't give up, and new readers who are interested in it continue.
According to the information on the hand account.
The place where the crow was finally found was a private villa in the suburbs.
This is a building built in the Republic of China, with a combination of Chinese and Western styles. It was later bought by Crow as his own writing house and renamed Mingyuekan.
Crow likes to collect all kinds of retro things and decorate them in Mingyuekan.
So this villa used to be very famous among collectors.
But after the crow disappeared, rumors of haunting often spread in Mingyuekan.
With the evidence from nearby residents, and the spread of good people, people who wanted to buy all gave up the idea, and after that, it became unpopular.
In response to this, it was written in red letters on the account:
[These stupid guys have no taste! I don’t deserve to own Teacher Crow’s house]
This time the destination they are going to is this villa.
Because both people received an unsigned invitation letter, which said—
"For Master Crow's new work."
The place where they were invited to the party was the legendary Haunted Mingyue Pavilion.
Then these two idiots came here, and their ticket destination was exactly where Mingyuekan was located.
They are really two dead little masters, and they dare to go to this kind of appointment. Xiao Lan doesn't know whether to say that they are stubborn or desperate...
It's like two leeks, not only delivered to the door for cutting, but also washed and cleaned.
Is this leeks
No, this is the king of leeks, the king of leeks.
Luo put down the information in his hand: "Humans' pursuit of idols is really interesting. According to human standards, this behavior seems to be called-brain damage?"
Xiao Lan said blankly: "According to the person's design, it is the two of us who are now the brains."
Luo: "..."
What a precious experience.
Brain Disabled Xiao and Brain Disabled Luo are riding the train to the destination of death.
—
The two got off the train and followed the instructions on the invitation letter to the rumored villa-Mingyuekan.
They had just stood in front of the gate of Mingyuekan when they heard the system prompt:
"Ding Dong—"
"..."
Xiao Lan waited for a while, but didn't hear anything.
As if the system put a dumb fart.
This dungeon did not give the player the slightest hint, is the advanced field so fierce
Before they rang the doorbell, the door opened by itself.
The one who opened the door was a middle-aged man in a housekeeper's uniform. He was extremely thin, but he had a chubby beer belly, his hair was meticulously combed, and he still had a retro mustache.
"Hello, two, I am the housekeeper of Mingyue Hall, and I welcome you to come here." The housekeeper bowed deeply to them.
This bowing ceremony is too formal compared to the one used to entertain guests.
It is more like a bow to the deceased in the body farewell ceremony, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
Then, the butler checked the invitation letters of the two and confirmed that they were correct before letting them in.
According to the character, Xiao Lan praised her idol's villa: "It is indeed the residence of Teacher Crow, this is really special."
He still referred to the crow as the teacher according to the diary.
But the rainbow fart is fine... This is too strong, and of course Xiao Lan is not unacceptable if you have to blow it.
Hearing this, the butler showed an expression with You Rongyan: "Yes, everything here is decorated by Teacher Crow himself."
Xiao Lan asked: "Why are you so sure?"
The steward said: "Because I saw Master Crow set up with my own eyes, I also participated in the placement of some collections."
Xiao Lan took the opportunity to ask: "When did you come here as a housekeeper?"
The butler smiled: "When I bought Mingyuekan from Teacher Crow, I was already the butler here."
Xiao Lan: "Then do you know anything about Teacher Crow?"
Upon hearing this, the butler showed a weird look: "Teacher Crow... is very mysterious. I rarely see him except for the handover of work."
It seemed that he didn't know the crow as much as Xiao Lan thought.
Xiao Lan: "Then... how much do you know about the disappearance of Teacher Crow?"
But the housekeeper kept silent.
It seems that he will not tell the secrets related to the employer because of professional ethics, but he can find a chance to communicate with each other later.
Xiao Lan and Luo exchanged glances secretly.
Xiao Lan changed the question: "Who initiated this gathering, do you know?"
Unexpectedly, the housekeeper shook his head: "I don’t know. I was originally hired by Mr. Crow’s family. I came to Mingyuekan to supervise the cleaning and maintenance once a week. A few days ago I received a letter informing me Laiming. The Moon Hall entertains the upcoming guests."
Xiao Lan: "Don't you think it is weird?"
The housekeeper said: "I am just a housekeeper, responsible for completing my work, nothing more."
When he said this, there was no wave in his eyes, and he didn't seem to care about the fate of the people who were called.
As if he didn't want to talk anymore, the butler said: "The guests who arrived early have already entered their rooms. I will take you two to your room."
After speaking, he was ready to guide the two of them.
At this time, the door opened again.
At the moment, the butler was standing beside Xiao Lan and the others, some distance away from the door. There were no mechanical devices on the door that could open the door, and even the people outside the door did not fully reach the door.
But the door just opened.
Seeing the big winds and waves of supernatural events, Xiao Lan expressed her calmness.
Isn't it just opening the door? There is nothing to be afraid of, as long as it is not for a boss who suddenly rushes in and slashes at the player, everything is easy to say.
Everyone's eyes cast toward the door.
A man wearing a retro and gorgeous black windbreaker, a black wide-brimmed top hat and a suitcase entered the door.
He is tall, thin, with snow-white hair and a signature beak mask on his face.
As long as it is someone who has met, I am afraid that no one can forget him.
The person who came in was Qi Ning.
Qi Ning also saw Xiao Lan. He nodded to Xiao Lan and counted as saying hello.
Then he turned to Xiao Lan: "The speed of your growth really surprised me. I didn't expect to meet you here now."
Here, naturally refers to the advanced field.
Xiao Lan returned: "I can't live up to your expectations."
Seeing the guests who came there seemed to have a reminiscence of the past, the butler intimately led them to the lounge, arranged refreshments, and informed the three of them of the location of their rooms.
Before leaving, the housekeeper urged: "Tomorrow all the guests will get clues about the new work of Master Crow."
After that, the butler left, leaving the lounge to the guests.
Qi Ning casually leaned on the armrest of the chair: "You should know about Wang Ke."
Xiao Lan nodded.
Qi Ning asked: "Is he really dead?"
Xiao Lan stared at him, but it was a pity that she couldn't see anything through a mask: "You seem to pay a lot of attention to them."
Qi Ning's tone was calm: "They are so special. People in the dark can't help but look at them, expecting them to be safe, but also can't help but hope that they will fall."
Xiao Lan: "What about you? Which side are you?"
Qi Ning thought for a while: "The darkness sees too much, and sometimes I want to see a clichéd happy ending."
Xiao Lan didn't say what Wang Teddy had said to him, but just said, "Perhaps, you can look forward to it."
Qi Ning said with a little smile in his tone: "It seems that their story will not end so quickly."
Xiao Lan asked Qi Ning's intentions: "Did you come in normally, or did you find the prey again?"
"Ha ha ha..." Qi Ning laughed low, with his usual husky feeling of lack of blood and blood, it sounded like a patient, but no one dared to underestimate him.
"I, of course come to find happiness."
The source of Qi Ning's happiness is naturally those fugitives.
If they knew that they would be hunted by such terrible hunters after entering the world, would they regret the sins they had committed
Qi Ning added: "Don't worry, killing in the high-level field is not as dangerous as the low-level ones, because the dead players in the high-level field will hardly be converted into NPCs. Even if you are lucky to become an NPC, you may not be more dangerous than before. Stronger. I can kill as long as I live, but what to fear when I die."
Xiao Lan was a little surprised, this was something he had never known before.
Qi Ning said: "The most dangerous thing in the high-level game is actually the players. There will always be people who like to see others struggling in despair. The killing of each other between high-level players happens from time to time, but the junior and intermediate players don't know it."
Xiao Lan frowned: "Why is this?"
Qi Ning fiddled with the brim of his hat, and said in a faint tone: "It seems that the protection system is imperfect. The existing system is not enough to prevent high-power players from killing. It is like a half-completed transformation."
Hearing this, Luo's eyes flickered slightly, but he said nothing.
"Are you going to have fun too? My goal can be given to you. If there are more, it won't work." Qi Ning said generously.
Xiao Lan noticed the "divide you one" in his words. Did he have more than one goal? !
You dare to 1Vn in the advanced field, brother, you are really fierce.
Xiao Lan shook her head and refused: "Thank you, a gentleman does not take advantage of others, so you should keep your own happiness."
"Then I'll play by myself, hahaha..." Qi Ning laughed, his back trembled with laughter, and his laughter was muffled with a bloody madness.
Looks quite a bit of a perverted murderous demeanor.
etc…
Not what it looks like, he actually is.
Qi Ning is a model for educating everyone not to commit crimes.
When you are wanted, you will be chased to death by Qi Ning.
Thinking about it this way, is there a sense of justice in my heart, and I don't want to commit a crime in my life
