After returning to reality that night, Xiao Li really had a few days to have a happy birthday.
The dungeon world sounds thrilling and exciting, but the bad thing is that there are not many things to eat. Xiao Li followed his mother when he was a child, and his diet was often irregular. But once the starvation is excessive, it will still occur.
Recently Xiao Li stayed at home and was watched by his cheap father Xiao Yuzheng. Not to mention three meals a day, two meals a day can still be full. He was raised at home for a few days until the day when Xiao Yuzheng wanted to celebrate his birthday came. .
In the near night, the orange sunset and the dark blue night are intertwined, forming a sea of clouds. Between the sea and the sky, the sea glows with extremely beautiful colors.
A beautiful cruise ship is so quietly leaning on the harbour, with five-color neon lights on the ship as time goes by.
In the banquet hall inside the cruise ship, almost all the richest people in the city gathered here, greeting each other with each other.
Xiao Yuzheng was chatting with business partners, and Xu Mei also brought her son Xiao Ming to socialize with the ladies she knew well. There were all kinds of food and wine on the buffet table.
Xiao Li was in another room. He rarely wore a pure white formal suit today, which looked completely different from usual.
Tan Li sat on the edge of the table with his calves dangling, watching Xiao Li casually flip through the messages on his phone.
Most of them are from Zheng Yi.
As Xiao Li's classmate, Zheng Yi's family was also one of the people invited this time. He came with his parents and tried his best to send a message of blessing to Xiao Li, just like the Spring Festival: "Happy birthday to the boss!"
"My dad originally only prepared one gift, but this kind of gift couldn't show my heart, so I prepared another one myself, hehehehe!"
"Looking forward to teaming up with the boss next time to have a dungeon!"
In addition to Zheng Yi, there is also Ye Zeqing, the contact information he sold his soul (helping Xiao Li to make the papers) in exchange, he used it just a few days later, he congratulated Xiao Li in a simple and clear way .
The puppet looked at the screen on Xiao Li's phone, took the initiative to stretch out a hand, and tapped on the phone screen.
It clicked out of order, but Zhou Ying in it still gave a reaction, the mobile page switched to the memo interface, and it typed word by word: Happy birthday.
The little black cat's warm body lay on Xiao Li's legs, and it meowed a long time.
Xiao Li touched its head and smiled slightly.
While they were being warm, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Xiao Li stood up and opened the door, only to see Shen Mizhi, who had not been seen for a long time, standing at the door.
"Happy birthday." Shen Mizhi said softly.
It is not surprising that Shen Mizhi appeared here and Xiao Li, the Shen family has a lot of background, as for his own position, just ask casually to know.
Xiao Li and Shen Mizhi were no strangers, and he responded casually, "Thank you."
Shen Mizhi looked at Xiao Li without blinking: "Gift, what do you want?"
Xiao Li was surprised for a few seconds: "No need."
He was originally dispensable for this kind of thing. In the past ten years, except for the fact that his mother organized this kind of birthday party for him when he was the youngest, he never cared about the illusory date of "birthday".
Shen Mizhi is very stubborn, his tone is very low, once he speaks, it is like a subwoofer in his ear: "Nothing you want?"
Xiao Li shook his head solemnly.
The night by the window was getting darker, he looked at the time and interrupted the communication with Shen Mizhi: "It's almost seven o'clock, I'm going to Xiao Yuzheng's side."
Shen Mizhi pursed his lips, and nodded gracefully, watching Xiao Li grab the phone on the table and leave the room.
The doll that was not taken away due to the time issue was stiff on the table. Tan Li carefully turned his head and glanced at Shen Mizhi, who was still leaning against the door. Only real dolls.
After Shen Mizhi left and the door was empty, Tan Li jumped off the table and walked towards Xiao Li.
—
The crowd outside the corridor was deserted, and only the service staff belonging to this cruise ship shuttled back and forth pushing the dining table.
Xiao Li walked towards the banquet hall, and suddenly stopped when he passed a corner room.
It was a waiter who caught his attention.
The waiter was wearing a waiter's clothes with an "Andy" nameplate on his chest. He had a short head, his face was not very good, his lips were pale, and he pushed the dining cart and passed Xiao Li.
"Wait—" Xiao Li stopped him.
The man stopped hesitantly with his back to Xiao Li: "This gentleman, what's the matter?"
Xiao Li paced over: "What's in here? I'm a little hungry."
"Sir, this is the food to be sent to the banquet hall." The waiter lowered his head and smiled awkwardly.
Of course, Xiao Li stopped him not to eat, but because when he passed by, he had a subtle sense - the reincarnator has dealt with too many ghosts in the dungeon world, so when encountering ghosts in reality, Even though they are not as good at fighting ghosts as those from a family of ghost hunters, they still have a sense of ghosts.
There is a ghost on this waiter!
Xiao Li said, "Open it and take a look."
The waiter seemed a little overwhelmed. He bent his head lower, his entire back bent, and looked around.
There was no one else in the corridor at this moment, only the two of them.
The waiter did not follow Xiao Li's words, but pushed the dining cart and took a step forward without hearing it. Before Xiao Li could speak again, the back of the waiter's head moved - a grimacing face emerged from the back of his head. When he came out, Grimace opened his eyes and smiled at Xiao Li.
At the same time, a pair of arms stretched out from Xiao Li's mobile phone. Zhou Ying blocked Xiao Li's face with one hand, covering the grimace, while the other hand grabbed the waiter's shoulder.
The waiter immediately turned around, and he squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Li: "Reincarnator?"
Xiao Li didn't plan to answer him directly: "What are you doing here?"
The waiter put away the cramped expression on his face, and said ruthlessly: "Since they are all reincarnators, don't ask more questions. It's better to have less than one thing more, and you won't suffer a loss if you share my love."
Xiao Li said plainly, "What if I had to ask?"
The waiter snorted coldly, and a black shadow jumped out from his back, passed Zhou Ying's arm in the air, and rushed towards Xiao Li!
A tuft of hair intercepted it in time, the doll stood behind Xiao Li, the hair like a black waterfall, more and more, until it formed a silkworm cocoon on the ceiling, completely wrapped the shadow inside, and devoured it completely.
The waiter's expression changed, he quickly adjusted his judgment and changed his face: "Are you going to stop me?"
Xiao Li: "Tell me about your purpose, I'll think about it again."
It's not that he wants to meddle in his own business, it's just that these reincarnators have been in the dungeon world with ghosts and ghosts for a long time, and some have long abandoned their reason as human beings, not to mention some ghost hunters, ghosts belong to the yin, such people are generally unusual In the eyes of human beings, the eyes are higher than the top, and there are some people who are more slanted, sinister and sinister. The person in front of him looks like he has no purpose. person serving a pot.
After judging Xiao Li's strength, the waiter also said simply: "A ghost I am refining currently needs a son of pure yin as a sacrifice. I have been following her for a long time, but she has been hiding at home. Today I just came on this ship with my family, and I just came in. Boy, what is your name, you sell me a favor, and I can pay some price. "
"You don't need to know my name." Xiao Li moved his fingers.
Zhou Ying moved out of the phone, and when Tan Li had already restrained a ghost, the pale child stretched out his arms and hugged the waiter's legs, looking up at him.
"Wait!" the waiter panicked, "We can still discuss, if you think the price is not enough, I can pay more!"
Seeing that Xiao Li was still not interested, he gritted his teeth and said his last reliance: "I am a person from the 'Tribunal'! If you want to sabotage my plan, you must first weigh yourself, whether you are qualified to face the 'Tribunal' or not. ' Revenge!"
As soon as he said these words, the person on the other side was really stunned for a moment, and then said, "'Inquisition'?"
"Yes!" The waiter saw that things had turned for the better, and offered both favors and prestige. "As long as you don't intervene, you don't need to know about it. We can get together and make friends. Otherwise, you don't want to have another court. 'Such an enemy?"
Then he heard Xiao Li say, "I haven't heard of it."
Immediately after that, the hands that hugged his calf tightened again, Zhou Ying raised his head and asked, "Can you play a game with me?"
The waiter's heart sank, and while he tried to take out the props, he tried his best to stabilize the kid: "What, what game?"
Zhou Ying tilted his head and thought for a moment. If it was in the past, it would say hide and seek, but now—it said crisply: "Happy and happy."
Waiter: "..."
Xiao Li patted Zhou Ying's hand: "Keep your breath."
Then he straightened his clothes, wiped the dust from the white suit, and walked into the banquet hall.
The crowd in the banquet hall was turbulent, mostly men and women dressed in fashion. Xiao Yuzheng stood at the center, his face was not very good, until he saw Xiao Li coming over, he asked calmly: "What are you doing, I didn't ask you to come earlier. ?"
Xiao Li pondered for a while: "Go save the world."
Xiao Yuzheng: ? ?
He frowned and scolded: "Why are you talking nonsense again, look, let these uncles be waiting for you."
On the side, Xu Mei supported his arm and patted Xiao Yuzheng on the back: "Don't get angry, Yuzheng, Xiaoli, why don't you apologize to your father?"
Xiao Li swept over her coolly, not moving.
However, after Xiao Yuzheng came over, he removed Xu Mei's hand, he didn't say anything more, he stretched his hand around Xiao Li's shoulder, and came to several good friends: "Old Qin, Lao Gong, come and see Look, this is my son, Xiao Li."
A well-tailored pure white suit complemented Xiao Li's good figure. The face with delicate facial features had a light expression, obviously not so stern, but at first glance, others felt a sense of distance.
When Xiao Li came out, the whispers in the arena became louder.
The people Xiao Yuzheng introduced were all of a certain age, looked potbellied, and wore suits made to measure beer belly.
Although they had never heard that the Xiao family had a second son, Xiao Yuzheng was willing to introduce it to them so solemnly. Obviously, this person had a certain status in his heart.
Therefore, they smiled kindly and raised their glasses to Xiao Li: "Look, Lao Xiao, how much this kid looks like you, you can vaguely see your style when you were young."
Xiao Yuzheng said cheerfully: "Hahaha, look at what you said, he looks better than when I was young."
Xiao Li patiently greeted them, holding a glass of wine the whole time.
Fortunately, after a few rounds, Xiao Yuzheng was afraid that he could also see his impatience. When he brought him to the last young woman, he said "Young people just want to communicate with young people more" and left. He went to Xiao Li's side, and went to chat with his old friends.
The one Xiao Yuzheng introduced was a young and beautiful girl with her hair tied up with pearl sashes. Her surname was Gong, the only daughter of that Gong Shibo.
Miss Gong slammed the cup with him gracefully: "Hello."
Xiao Li chatted awkwardly with her: "Hello."
"Why haven't I seen you before?"
"I've never been here before."
"… "
After several rounds, he just found an excuse to escape from the banquet hall.
Xiao Li came to the deck, all the guests were socializing downstairs, and it was completely empty.
He leaned against the railing and looked at the sea in the distance.
Compared with the sunset before, it is now completely dark night, a full moon is reflected on the sea, cut into pieces by the endless waves, but it is still the appearance of the moon.
Xiao Li rested his chin on the railing and stretched out his hand in the void, as if to fish for the moon.
The sea breeze blew his hair and shattered his moon.
Xiao Li remembered the previous ghost ship copy, and in the dark sea breeze, his heart that had just calmed down was eager to try again.
"Bang bang bang—" The hour came, and on the distant shore, a round of fireworks exploded in the sky.
This is Xiao Yuzheng's arrangement. From seven o'clock, fireworks will be put on every hour until zero.
Gorgeous fireworks illuminate the dark sky, changing rapidly.
Under the sky of fireworks, a small spark floated towards Xiao Li along the wind, impartially, and when he was in front of him, he couldn't help reaching out to pick it up.
Xiao Huangben lay hot in the inner pocket of his heart: [Gift.]
[Happy birthday.]
That firework-like light spot fell on Xiao Li's palm and turned into a card.
Xiao Li took it before his eyes, it was a license.
[Restricted Area Permit: You will be allowed to enter the Pirisai Restricted Area, remember that this permit is only valid for seven days.]
The next moment, the dazzling fireworks disappeared from Xiao Li's eyes.
[In the Great Thousand World, there are many no-man’s land, and this is one of the restricted areas. It used to be a city, but after a world-renowned explosion at a nearby factory, it became a deserted city - residents of the city near the factory were ordered to evacuate within three hours, and the entire restricted area was It is frozen in that moment and never ends. No one knows how many bones are buried here, just like no one knows how many secrets are hidden here. Will you be the executioner of the secret, or the revealer? Everything is your choice, everything is the choice of the restricted area.]
[Remaining safe time: three minutes.]
[This world is a staged task, the first stage task: drive into the restricted area of Piris.]
[Friendly reminder: The next stage of tasks will only be released after the first stage of tasks is completed.]
This time it was a phased new task form - Xiao Li began to believe Rodian's words, and the entire dungeon mode was constantly being upgraded.
Of course, under the official mission this time, there is also Xiao Huangben's hidden mission, but this time the hidden mission is purer than before.
[Hidden Mission: Happy Birthday.]
Before Xiao Li could be touched for a few seconds, Xiao Huangben added: [After hearing me say "Happy Birthday", he jumped over and kissed me happily, but he was not allowed to say "thank you", even if the task was completed.]
Xiao Li: "..."
He closed the little yellow book he had dug for himself, and began to look around.
There is a forest nearby, and at first glance, it is a place inaccessible all year round. All kinds of trees, flowers and plants indulge themselves, grow wildly, and grow into various strange shapes.
On the edge of the woods, there is a small road, which is as wide as a car, and there are endless woods on both sides of the road.
In addition to him, there were about six people standing on the side of the road, and a tall off-road vehicle was parked in front of the six people.
The few people looked at each other, a tall young man who looked sunny and handsome shrugged and said: "It seems to be cold again, then I will come first, my name is Brother Hao, you can call me Rat, this so-called phased mission It's my first time doing it, so please take care of everyone."
With him as a role model, one by one the others began to introduce themselves.
When it was Xiao Li's turn, he reported the name "Sherlock".
When it was the last person's turn, he didn't say anything, but bent over and carried a black backpack he brought.
The man was extremely tall, and it could be seen that he had a lot of muscle mass. He exuded a violent aura, and it seemed that he planned to walk alone.
No one else dared to speak, only Brother Hao stopped him and said, "That buddy, are you not with us?"
The man's falcon-like eyes glanced at them, and the corners of his mouth were pulled up mockingly. He didn't say anything, and walked forward with his bag on his back. He didn't move the car, so he left it to the others.
For some reason, Xiao Li looked at the man's back, and suddenly thought of Ye Zeqing's words. He dubbed the other party in his heart: Ferocious beasts always walk alone, cattle and sheep are in groups—
Before he could finish a whole sentence, Brother Hao clapped his hands, successfully attracting everyone's attention: "If he wants to go by himself, we don't care about him, everyone knows that in the copy world, acting together is the safest. of."
A girl named Zou Hanyi said: "Get in the car first, do you have the key? Is this a copy prepared for us?"
She wore a long ponytail and looked smart and lively in camouflage.
Another man carefully opened the car door, lest a corpse would suddenly fall into the car, he glanced at the driver's seat at the risk of death, and said with a sigh of relief: "Yes, there are keys, maps, and everything in it. ."
Brother Hao said: "Let's check it carefully, and then get in the car. I'm afraid that it will be delayed here for too long and the night will be long and dreamy."
The seasons here are obviously different from the reality. The night wind brings bursts of coolness, and there are ghosts in the dark woods, making people want to shiver.
A few people opened the car door and looked inside and out of the car. After confirming that there was no ghost body, they were completely relieved.
Brother Hao said, "Who can drive?"
Except for Xiao Li and one man, everyone else raised their hands.
Brother Hao: "The people who can drive take turns driving, every half an hour, do you have an opinion?"
"Okay." The people said one after another.
The samsara opened the door and got in the car. The interior of the off-road vehicle was quite spacious, but it couldn't handle the crowd. There were two people in the driver's seat and the co-pilot in the front row, and Xiao Li and the rest were crowded behind.
The first person to drive was Brother Hao himself. According to him, he has a long driving experience and is an old driver, but driving on the road of the ghost world still makes him cautious and dare not step on the brakes at will.
The performance of the off-road vehicle is very good. Xiao Li leaned against the window and swayed, and was a little sleepy. In fact, this is the reason why he did not choose to walk alone like that man. There is a car here, and he can sit and rest all the way .
A fool would walk those dozen kilometers on foot instead of taking a car.
Xiao Li covered his mouth with his hand and yawned softly. He felt that he was getting more and more sleepy, and the discussions of the other people in the car about this dungeon world gradually weakened.
Just after the off-road vehicle drove for about a quarter of an hour, the car first jolted violently, as if it hit an object, and then braked suddenly, almost throwing several people in the car straight out!
Xiao Li kept holding on to the handle on the roof of the car, so as to avoid the bad luck of flying out directly.
"What's wrong?" Zou Hanyi asked.
Brother Hao, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was pale, no one could see it more clearly than the driver he just saw, he swallowed and described: "Just now... A white shadow appeared in front of my car window. !"
All the people sitting in the off-road vehicle felt cold all over.
Brother Hao continued: "I thought it was an illusion. After all, according to the dungeon rules, we just came in. Even if it is a new type of staged task, we will not directly start killing people without a warning to survive. So I did not brake, and then I I feel like I bumped into something, that white shadow!"
Following Brother Hao's words, the rest of the reincarnators not only imagined that the white shadow who was hit by Brother Hao might be lying under their car now, with his eyes open, holding onto the chassis of the car tightly with his hands...
Zou Hanyi looked very bad, but she gritted her teeth and said, "Keep driving! We won't get out of the car, and as long as the ghosts can't get in the car, we won't stop!"
Brother Hao took a deep breath. Seeing that there was no objection in the car, he increased the accelerator and restarted the off-road vehicle.
Under the car, it was obvious that something had run over, which was horrifying.
The car continued to drive forward, and the woods outside the window were quickly left behind.
Xiao Li didn't sleep any more this time. He stared at the woods outside intently, and after five minutes passed, he raised his eyebrows unnoticed.
They are back to square one.
Soon after, Brother Hao slowed down the speed of the car, stammered and pointed ahead: "Ghost! It, it appeared again!"
Xiao Li looked down as he pointed, and saw a white figure standing in the middle of the road. It lowered its head and its hair covered its face, but its lower body was obviously deformed, very short, and its upper body was very short. long.
Zou Hanyi said sharply: "Bump in!"
Brother Hao gritted his teeth and ran over again - but this time, everyone clearly heard its voice: "Let me... get in the car!"
The accelerator gradually increased, and the off-road vehicle crashed into the past again.
"What's the matter, I encountered it twice?!" Brother Hao said in panic, "Don't let it get on the car, will we keep encountering it?!"
Another man named Hai Han said, "Are you sure it's... the one you saw for the first time?!"
"Yes," Brother Hao said, "I won't forget that face, it was in front of the car window before!"
In the face of a Specter who only needs to get in the car, no matter what everyone thinks, it is absolutely impossible to let him get in the car, not to mention that the car is so crowded that there is no seat at all, do you want them to hold him in his arms? !
"No, definitely not, let's try it again, it... it won't appear!" Hai Han said.
In the eyes of all the reincarnators, the off-road vehicle increased its horsepower again, but after more than five minutes, the white shadow appeared in the middle of the road again.
This is an endless cycle, unless Bai Ying gets in the car, they will continue to reincarnate indefinitely.
"Ahhh!" Brother Hao collapsed, he subconsciously stepped up the accelerator and rammed towards Bai Ying—
Xiao Li half stood up, and he put his hand on Brother Hao's shoulder: "Wait, stop first."
He squeezed Brother Hao's shoulder with a lot of strength, which brought Brother Hao's rationality back and stepped on the brakes.
However, this time the brake was applied a little late, and the white shadow had already been run over again, and the off-road vehicle stopped, and the wheels slid down a sudden braking mark on the road.
Xiao Li directly opened the car door, got out of the car, and walked back to check the condition of the white shadow.
Brother Hao rolled down the car window, like the rest of the reincarnators, thinking that he had found a way out, and watched his movements with fear and curiosity.
The white shadow was lying behind the car, and it had been run over twice. The whole ghost was swollen in some places and shriveled in some places, looking a bit funny and terrifying.
Xiao Li squatted down: "Can you still talk?"
Bai Ying looked at him and said: "I... want... get in... the car!"
Xiao Li: "But we don't have a seat—"
Bai Yingyin smiled and said: "Then... let me eat a few people, so the seat will be vacant."
Xiao Li rubbed his chin and thought for a while: "Forget it, if you must come up, then stay in the trunk."
Before waiting for the deflated Bai Ying to reply, Xiao Li took off his rich suit jacket, wrapped Bai Ying, folded it like a sushi bag, walked to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and stuffed Bai Ying inside. .
In the end, he felt that the tie was not strong, so he found a rope in the trunk and fastened it.
White gold:"… … … "
Brother Ho:! ! !
He nearly died on the spot when he saw the squashed ghost in the trunk.
