Covering her mouth tightly, the girl huddled in the closet with her eyes closed.
But even so, the weird noise coming from outside the cabinet was getting closer and closer. When the sound finally stopped in front of the cabinet, the girl felt that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
She had seen what it was like to be found by those monsters. In this apartment building, all the people found by the monsters were eventually brutally eaten by them.
… She doesn’t want to die.
Perhaps the prayer in her heart had an effect, because the strange footsteps paused for a moment in front of her cabinet door, and then disappeared again.
And just when she breathed a sigh of relief and was about to raise her head to relax, a face that was split in the middle and extremely distorted appeared in front of her, grinning with an extremely scary smile.
"find you… "
"boom!!!"
Before the face could finish a sentence, an unusually thick hand suddenly broke through the cabinet door, then grabbed its head and dragged it out.
Immediately afterwards, the roar of the monster and the muffled sound of fists and feet hitting the flesh were heard from outside the door.
When the girl looked out through the hole with a horrified look on her face, she saw a strong man of at least two meters tall with a weird rabbit mask on his face, beating up the monster.
In her eyes, the extremely terrifying monster was no more than a chicken in the hands of the strong man.
For a moment, the girl couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
… player
Just when the girl was dumbfounded, the strong man had already dealt with the monster neatly, but as a price, the strong man himself was seriously injured. His stomach was even cut open, and his internal organs and intestines flowed out.
It's just that the strong man himself didn't care about it. He took out a stapler from somewhere and stapled the wound with a few clicks. He then took out a roll of tape and wrapped it vigorously on his stomach several times. .
After doing all this, the strong man didn't even look at the girl hiding in the cabinet. He raised his hand and grabbed the remains of the monster on the ground and walked outside.
Seeing the savior walking away in front of her, after a slight pause, the girl who reacted quickly climbed out of the cabinet, then quickly took out the medical kit from under the bed and chased after him.
"treat?"
Stopping, the strong man looked at her.
"No, that's right, the wound will be worse if you look like that."
Carrying the medical kit, facing the strong man covered in blood who looked more terrifying than the monster, the girl gasped for air.
"I know some first aid knowledge, let me help you treat your wounds."
"..."
Looking into the eyes of the girl in front of him, after a moment of silence, the strong man sat down on the ground.
Outside the apartment building, the sun was shining brightly.
… … … … … … … …
"Well, have you solved another one?"
Seeing the system prompt popping up in front of him, Bai Zhi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
At this time, almost three days have passed since the previous discussion with the jar.
Three days ago, in the shadow world, he spent all his savings and returned to before liberation overnight.
The total amount of his whole body is only a few hundred game coins.
If she hadn't lent Yanhuo Fengyue 50,000 game coins before, he doubted that the 50,000 game coins would be gone too.
And after that, when he was worried about how to make money, a group of scoundrels represented by Hu took the initiative to find him.
For these scoundrels who only know how to fight, staying in the shadow world can be said to be uncomfortable. Ever since they learned about the situation in the real world from those players, they have some ideas. Other ideas.
At this time, Zhuge Yun also announced matters related to contribution points and tasks to the player guilds in Binhai City.
Under the premise of extreme shortage of manpower, strange stories are becoming increasingly rampant in Binhai City. In the past, the relevant departments were responsible for handling these strange stories, but now, these strange stories must be diverted away.
These player guilds help solve strange incidents and can obtain certain contribution points based on corresponding evaluations. The contribution points can be exchanged for many things at the relevant departments... This is the most basic contribution point exchange system.
This system is not only implemented in Binhai City, but has been promoted nationwide.
Originally, Bai Zhi was short of manpower, so he didn't have much idea about these tasks, but now that there are ghosts who take the initiative to ask for help, Bai Zhi is happy to help the relevant departments share some of the pressure.
But what has to be said is that the efficiency of these scoundrels' actions can be said to be frighteningly high. Standing under the sun again, they seem to be tireless, and their work rotations are non-stop day and night.
In the past three days, hundreds of ghosts have solved more than a hundred ghost stories in total, and since the ghosts themselves belong to Bai Zhi, the reward for solving the ghost stories will naturally be counted among his. On the body, the contribution points from relevant departments have soared.
Although after solving this low-level weird story, you will only be given a few hundred game coins and a few hundred experience points, but if you add up, it can be considered a good harvest.
Currently, the jar merchant is traveling around multiple worlds to help him buy the necessary items for planting the World Tree. Once the World Tree is cultivated, it will inevitably be a bottomless pit, so Bai Zhi has to save a lot of money.
Hmm... I don't know if there are any specialties that can be sold in the underworld...
Just as Bai Zhi was thinking about this matter, he suddenly felt his sleeve being pulled. When he turned his head, he found that Hitomi was looking up at him without blinking.
Not only Hitomi, but Anna in her arms and Qing Yi beside her also raised their heads and looked at him, as if wondering why he stopped suddenly.
"Okay, let me continue telling you."
Bai Zhi smiled slightly and hugged Ana, who was a little restless in his arms, a little tighter.
"Once upon a time, there was a shepherd boy. When he was herding sheep, he shouted loudly down the mountain: "The wolf is coming!" The farmers rushed to the mountain panting and saw that there were no wolves at all. The next day, the shepherd boy shouted again: "The wolf is coming!", but there was still no wolf. So everyone no longer believed what he said. Later, the wolf really came, and many sheep were killed by the wolf. What did you learn from this story? "
"Don't lie?"
Blinking her eyes, Anna, who was held down by Bai Zhi and held in his arms, shook her feet restlessly and was the first to speak.
"No, that's not true at all."
Bai Zhi held out a finger in front of him with a solemn look on his face.
"This story tells us: If you believe in something, as long as you persist and don't give up, miracles will definitely happen. Do you understand?"
Qingyi/Anna/Hitomi/Shu Ling: "..."
A pink-haired girl hiding in a tree and taking a nap: "..."
At this time, the four of them were sitting under the tree in the courtyard. The bright sunlight fell on Bai Zhi and several lolita through the shadows of the branches and leaves, casting dappled light and shadow.
Under the eaves, a spotted puppy was lying there quietly taking a nap, accompanied by a gust of breeze blowing by, bringing a little coolness.
—This is an ordinary afternoon.
During these few days, Bai Zhi was basically at home.
So it is precisely because of this that Qingyi Anna and the others are very attached to him. Except for sleeping at night, they stay with him almost all day long.
Originally, at this point in time, these lolita should have gone back to their rooms to take a nap, but in the end, Anna dragged him to the backyard and asked him to tell a story.
Qingyi sat on the left and Hitomi sat on the right. Anna was held in his arms... a real hug from left to right.
I don't know what kind of agreement these lolita have reached in private. Anyway, the person sitting in the middle comes in turns. The day before yesterday it was Qingyi, today it is Anna, and tomorrow it will be Hitomi again.
Actually, Qingyi and Hitomi were fine, but Anna was the most restless.
During the few days he stayed at home, Anna even got up secretly at night, then ran to his room alone with a pillow in her bare feet, came to his bed and slept with him... Then she was noticed in time. Qingyi and Hitomi arrived and brought them back together.
… Luckily it happened late at night.
… … … … … … … …
The leisure time in the afternoon always passes very quickly.
Looking at the two lolita sleeping on his shoulders and Anna sleeping in his arms, Bai Zhi took these lolita back to the room after thinking for a while.
Although sleeping in the backyard is not impossible, where can a bed be as soft as that in a place like that
However, when Bai Zhi put several lolita on the bed one by one and covered them with quilts to go out, the corner of his clothes was suddenly slightly pulled.
When he turned his head slightly confused, he saw that Hitomi had opened his eyes at some point.
"...Shu Ling? Uh..."
Subconsciously looking at the gospel book placed by the bedside, Bai Zhi simply turned back and sat on the bed, then reached out and touched the head of the black-haired lolita in front of him.
"What, can't you sleep?"
Between Shu Ling and Hitomi, he could still recognize which one was which.
Although Hitomi seems much more cheerful compared to the beginning, she is still the least talkative one in the family.
Shaking his head, Hitomi carefully got up from the bed. After turning his head and looking at Qingyi and Anna who were sleeping soundly, the black-haired loli lay on his shoulder and faced her like a thief. Then he spoke softly.
"Hitomi wants to eat marshmallows too."
Bai Zhi: "..."
…So you guys made an appointment in advance
… … … … … … …
After a few minutes, Bai Zhi carefully closed the door and returned to the lobby on the first floor with a guilty conscience.
This time, he really felt guilty.
Because theoretically speaking, Shu Ling can sense Tong's feelings simultaneously, and Tong just took the initiative to kiss him...
"Ahem... Let's go to Shadow World and see if the jar has returned."
After coughing a few times, Bai Zhi moved his thoughts away.
"After the World Tree is planted, the situation in Qingyi should be able to stabilize temporarily, and then after that, he can summon the ghost gate to go to the underworld, and send the seed down by the way..."
That World Tree seed itself is already a very rare item. To use a certain jar, it means that it has become extinct and cannot be purchased in other worlds. So by analogy, it is strange that it can be compared with that World Tree seed. Seeds, in theory, should be a pretty good thing.
In addition, as the majestic Emperor Yin, it is not good to always leave things alone in the underworld... Maybe there are some particularly valuable specialties in it
From the jar merchant, Bai Zhi learned that the world's specialties are the most valuable things in the world itself.
A world specialty can refer to a certain item, or a certain concept or function, such as the "World Tree" or the "gym" in the world of Tombstone Apartments.
Although the Shadow World is currently bare and has no special products to speak of, he may have a pretty good harvest in the underworld...
And just when Bai Zhi was thinking about this matter, the doorbell suddenly sounded outside the door.
"… at this time?"
Bai Zhi turned his head and glanced at the time on the wall. After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi stood up and walked towards the courtyard.
- Outside the iron gate, the deceased Zero, who was still wearing a simple black long trench coat, stood there.
I'm extremely sorry. I don't know why today. My left shoulder hurts like crazy. It hurts so much when I move it even a little bit. I can't write at all. That's why it's so late (ノ○ Д ○)ノ skirt one duba②①77yi⑥
Volume 2 The Miracle of Improbable Probability: Chapter 1297 Chapter 380 The Dead Zero and the Night Owl (4k)
Frankly speaking, Bai Zhi was a little surprised by the visit of the deceased Zero.
After all, judging from the other person's personality, unless there is something particularly important, it doesn't seem like he would take the initiative to come to him.
—Especially now that Zhuge Yun is almost crazy busy.
"When did you come back from the mandatory mission?"
After pouring a cup of tea for the other person sitting on the sofa, Bai Zhi also sat down and asked.
"yesterday."
After picking up the tea on the coffee table and taking a sip, the deceased Zero answered calmly.
"Yesterday... By the way, is the evil spirit dream back?"
As if something suddenly occurred to him, Bai Zhi quickly asked.
—He had learned from Zhuge Yun before that both Huolingmeng and the deceased Zero had to participate in the system's mandatory tasks.
"… have."
After a moment of silence, the deceased Zero nodded.
"She came back this morning. What do you want from her?"
-Inexplicably, the girl's eyes became sharp.
"I want her to help me upgrade my equipment...here, this is it."
He didn't notice this. As he spoke, Bai Zhi took out the [Anchor Pointer] from his backpack.
The cause of the past and the effect of today may be because of his rational value? ? ? Because of this, he still retains the memory in the Tomb of the World.
