Looking at the night owl who was obviously in trouble, Bai Zhi said something in his ear.
"Uh... one is worth two."
Casting a sympathetic look at Meng Qi, Night Owl spoke weakly.
...Then Meng Qixia's face suddenly darkened.
"This doesn't count, but you can still whisper? Do it again!!"
"Okay, let's start with you."
Bai Zhi shrugged indifferently.
"One five ten!!"
"Nine times out of ten."
"Never regret it."
“It’s mixed with praise and praise.”
"Uh... one is worth two."
The sympathy in Night Owl's eyes became even more intense.
Dream prayer: "..."
"Forget it, I'll go with you to get it. Anyway, I guess you can't get it alone."
Reaching out and pressing his forehead, Shenwu Tianxie got up from the sofa in a state of confusion.
"... Did you do this on purpose?"
Looking at Meng Qixia who was walking towards the door with a lonely look on his face, and Shenwu Tianxie who was following him dumbfoundedly and seemed to be comforting him, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and Zhenggu Heming turned his head to look at Bai Zhi and Ye Owl were killed.
... She now really feels that the adjective Meng Qixia said at the dinner table is too appropriate.
"He told me to just pick up one and pick up two."
He pointed at Bai Zhi, who continued to read with his head down as if nothing had happened. The night owl looked innocent.
The zither and drums chime in harmony: "..."
With the departure of Shenwu Tianxie and Meng Qixia, the entire supermarket returned to the calmness it had at the beginning.
—On the surface, of course.
"Hey, is it really okay to just leave Shenwu Tianxie and Meng Qixia alone?"
Putting his head close to Bai Zhi's side, the night owl spoke in a low voice with some anxiety.
"The clues we found before all point to..."
"I said, you can't just look at the surface of everything, you have to look through the phenomenon to see the essence."
Bai Zhi curled his lips and opened a new page in the book in his hand.
"Shenwu Tianxie is like this, Meng Qixia is like this, and Zhenggu Heming is like this too. You told me not to underestimate you before and treat you like a vase, but now you don't treat Meng Qixia like a vase." A vase?"
"Of course I know these truths, but..."
Night Owl still looked a little hesitant, with a tangled look on his face.
"...But Zhenggu Heming is indeed a real vase. After all, she was killed so easily..."
On the side, he pricked up his ears and eavesdropped on the sound of the zither and drums: "???"
...Wait a minute, what kind of stupid topic are you two talking about! ? Who got fucked!
Before he could wait, Zhenggu Heming, who had only eavesdropped on something, couldn't help but question him. The sound of a heavy object collapsing suddenly came from a nearby shop, startling Zhenggu Heming. Jump.
"Be careful."
Turning his head to look in the direction of the shop, Bai Zhi frowned slightly and stood up from the sofa.
"Want to go over and take a look?"
Involuntarily, he also stood up, turned his head and looked at the shop that was quiet again, and the night owl spoke in a low voice.
In the mall, where there was no one else but them, an inexplicable sound suddenly came from a nearby store, especially in such a strange environment... Everyone had to be careful.
"Of course, escaping will only lead to faster death."
Bai Zhi turned around and glanced at Night Owl who was following him and Zhenggu Heming who also stood up from the sofa with a surprised look on his face. Bai Zhi had a noncommittal look on his face.
The place where they rested was located in the center of the mall, only a few dozen meters away from the store that made the strange noise. However, out of caution, it took about half a minute to walk this short distance of only ten meters. .
And when they finally came to the door of the store and looked inside, Ye Owl, Zheng Gu and Ming immediately had expressions of disbelief on their faces, and even a hint of panic.
On the floor inside this shop, Shenwu Tianxie, whose skin was stiff due to his long death and whose face was distorted, was lying on the floor. The tuxedo he was wearing was covered in blood.
… What he lost in the mall turned out to be his own body.
Volume 1 The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 185 Chapter 182 Simple and Difficult Tasks
The time was 2:50 pm, and the location was a store next to the central area of the Super Mall.
"How is it possible... Shen Wuwuxie is already dead?"
Looking at the corpse inside the shop that seemed to have fallen from the ceiling, Zhenggu Heming had a look of disbelief on his face.
From the appearance, it was obvious that the body had been dead for a long time, with a stiff body and a distorted face... But just a few minutes ago, the owner of this body was clearly sitting on the sofa with them.
"Judging from the situation, he has been dead for almost a few days. The fatal factor came from a sharp knife that penetrated the heart... Was it fixed to the ceiling before?"
At some point, Bai Zhi put on his rubber gloves and walked over for a brief inspection. Bai Zhi raised his head and looked at the ceiling with slightly squinted eyes.
—On the ceiling, you can clearly see some traces of blood.
"So Shenwu Tianxie said that he lost something in the mall, is it actually his body... This is what he said that he lost something very important but can't remember it anyway..."
The night owl seemed slightly absent-minded.
Judging from the clues they have so far, all the clues that were used to attack and kill the culprit who killed Zhenggu Heming clearly point to Shenwu Tianxie, but the guy they thought was the murderer is already dead. … What went wrong
“But this is obviously wrong!!”
Looking at the corpse in front of him, Zheng Gu and Ming felt that their brains were in chaos.
"In the morning, we all displayed our player information. At that time, there was no problem with Shenwu Tianxie at all. If he had died at that time, it would have been impossible..."
"It doesn't make any sense to say this now. Rather than thinking about this, let's just care about Meng Qixia."
Bai Zhi stood up from beside the corpse with a noncommittal look on his face.
"The previous "Shenwu Tianxie" seemed to have taken the initiative to go to the entertainment area with Meng Qixia. If he had died long ago, then something might have happened to Meng Qixia there. Something terrible.”
"Then this corpse..."
"...Put it away first."
Bai Zhi glanced at the corpse at his feet, and after a moment of silence, Bai Zhi put it into his backpack.
… … … … … … … … … … …
Meanwhile, on the other side.
It's not far from the supermarket to the entertainment area. Apart from the time it takes to get the keys to open the door, the maximum time for a round trip is only three or four minutes. Even including the time spent on getting those fruits or wine, etc. The summary only lasted less than ten minutes.
—No one thought anything unexpected would happen, including Meng Qixia.
"Hey, do you think that guy has figured out the real secret of this apartment?"
Walking at the front, looking for the key to open the door, Meng Qi asked angrily at Shenwu Tianxie who was following behind him.
"I always feel like he already knows everything, but he always hides it and doesn't say it. Is it really fun to say half of it? Or is this the case for people who like to use their brains?"
"Except for some deliberate concealment, the clues we have obtained so far should be equivalent... What is your reasoning?"
Yawning rather listlessly, Shenwu Tianxie answered.
"To put it simply, what dangers do you think we will encounter on the seventh day?"
"Well... my personal opinion is still more inclined to the fact that humans in this world have been bred by ghost stories and reduced to existences like food. Sealed apartments like this are equivalent to individual breeding farms."
Pushing open the door leading to the entertainment area in front of her, Meng Qixia shrugged.
"Humans whose three basic attributes reach 15 points are equivalent to the best goods. They are a very precious ingredient and will be given to more powerful monsters by those ghost stories. This is what exists in the gym. The so-called death trap.”
“The hook-bait theory?”
Following Meng Qixia in front of him into the passage in front of him, Shenwu Tianxie raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yes, a gym that can quickly improve our basic attributes is equivalent to fishing bait. If we fail to completely bite the bait, we can still have a slight ability to resist in the water, but once we bite the bait, we will be like Just like a fish caught ashore, its end in front of the fisherman is to be put on the dining table."
Meng Qixia replied.
"This mission can be said to be full of death traps. Even the one in the gym is a fatal trap that will definitely lead to death once triggered. If Black and White hadn't deduced this inference in time, we probably wouldn't even know how we died. Know."
When he said this, Meng Qixia turned his head and glanced at Shenwu Tianxie behind him.
"So in general, players with high levels and high basic attributes will suffer the most in this mission, because he is likely to trigger the death flag when his basic attributes reach full value before finding this fatal trap. Your level You are the highest among us, and all your basic attributes should also be the highest among us... Fortunately, you once had a brush with death."
"Basic attributes... It seems like my luck is pretty good. After all, in front of a fitness room that can quickly improve one's basic attributes, I don't think many people can resist the temptation, right?"
After thinking for a moment, Shenwu Tianxie nodded thoughtfully.
"If you say so, this mission is really difficult, but survival missions are one of the most difficult types of missions... But why do I always feel that this mission is very easy?"
"Relax? By the way, have you had a good night's sleep in the past few days? You are not a floor manager. Not only can you sleep comfortably every day, but you don't have to worry about strange attacks at all. At the same time, you are also a person who earns points every day. The rich woman who entered the account..."
Pouting her lips, Meng Qixia did not hide her envy and jealousy towards Zhenggu Heming in her words.
"It's easy because there are very powerful wise men in our team. For example, the time mystery we encountered when we came to this apartment on the first day, if it wasn't black and white, do you think you could figure it out? ?”
"...Probably not."
After a moment of thinking, Shenwu Tianxie shook his head quite honestly.
"That kind of thing is not something that ordinary people can think of. After all, it is the inertia of thinking. Sometimes, we tend to unconsciously ignore these seemingly common things."
"So, we should have run into trouble at the beginning. Once we were injured at the beginning, do you think life would be easy next?"
Walking straight into the food area in the entertainment area, Meng Qixia shrugged.
"By the way, what do you want?"

entertainment area
"Bring a fruit plate over there, and I'll get some bottles of wine."
Reaching out and rubbing his temples vigorously, Shenwu Tianxie replied.
"Because of the video at noon today, I'm so hungry right now..."
"Don't talk about that, that guy is just pure bad taste... Do you really think that everyone has the same heavy taste as him?"
Rolling her eyes, Meng Qixia took a plate from the cabinet, and then put fruits on the plate quite casually.
"If it weren't for the fact that I might not be able to beat him, I would have wanted to run and beat him..."
"...To be honest, I really want to beat him up."
Shrugging, Shenwu Tianxie turned and walked towards the bar.
"I'm going to get the wine. I'll come back after you finish things here..."
Shen Wu Tianxie's voice suddenly stopped there.
"Huh? How...!?"
When Meng Qixia turned her head slightly strangely, she happened to see an extremely horrifying scene.
Shenwu Tianxie, who was standing at the door of the food area, seemed to be affected by some kind of force. His body suddenly turned into flowing black liquid, and his whole body collapsed quickly like collapsed plasticine. Then they all merged into the shadows on the side.
After that, the shadow rushed toward his feet like lightning.
"!!!"
Ignoring the fruit plate in his hand, Meng Qixia's expression immediately changed as he witnessed the whole process of the other party's mysterious disappearance. He quickly made a knife with his right hand, and then slashed it in front of him.
"One line!!"
