... How can I arrange the shoes so neatly by just flipping them off
"I am indeed a genius."
With a sigh in his mouth, Meng Qi jumped out of bed without any intention of putting on shoes, and strode towards the closet.
He was already planning to take a shower anyway. Wearing shoes would easily make the room wet, which made him feel uncomfortable.
The wardrobe is located directly opposite the bed, only a few meters away. When Meng Qixia opened the wardrobe door, his whole face could not help but change slightly.
-In the closet, a withered female corpse was placed with those clothes. The corpse's empty eye sockets were staring at him. Several thick centipedes crawled out of the eye sockets, and then rolled down and got into those clothes. collar or pocket.
"There are actually bugs growing in the closet... It seems like this dress can't be worn anymore."
Closing the door with a look of disgust, Meng Qixia turned around and walked towards the bathroom.
These bathrooms are all equipped with hot water and shower heads. When passing by the mirror, he accidentally glanced into the mirror, and then his whole body was shocked and he quickly His whole face was brought up to the mirror.
-In the image reflected in the mirror, there is a pair of feet standing over his left shoulder.
"Damn it, I have acne on my face!?"
Squeezing the conspicuous pimple on her forehead with her fingers, Meng Qi's face was filled with shock beyond words.
"Sure enough, staying up late for a long time will inevitably lead to this kind of thing happening. You have to go to bed early..."
On the window sill of the bathroom mirror, there are a variety of bath soaps, shampoos, and shower gels. However, boys' bathing and girls' bathing are completely different... not only the difference in time spent.
When girls take a shower and think their skin is smooth, they think their skin is smooth after being washed. But if a boy’s skin is smooth after taking a shower, then it’s because it’s so slippery and it must not have been washed clean...
"Hmm? Thanks a lot, you're a good person."
In the rising mist, she reached out and took the shower gel from the side. Meng Qi thanked her politely.
— The hand silently retracted into the mirror.
After taking a shower and casually wiping her hair with clothes, Meng Qixia sat back on the bed.
The games on the computer are getting more difficult day by day, so he doesn't want to touch the computer anymore today.
Although there is a chance that the points earned by playing the game can be used to draw skills from the mysterious shop, but one [Shit Transformation], one [Food Transformation], one [Savior], and one [Reverse Harem Technique]... This is already complete He cut off the idea of drawing skills again.
And just when he picked up the book on the bedside and prepared to read a few more pages, a familiar voice sounded outside the door along with a dull knock on the door.
"Give me my body... back...!"
"... Shen Wu Tian Xie?"
Raising his head and looking at the position next to the door, Meng Qi was slightly stunned.
"Give me my body... back...!!"
—The knocking on the door became louder and louder.
"Uh... your body is not with me, but with Black and White. You can go and get it from him."
With a look of surprise on his face, Meng Qixia answered quite honestly.
In fact, during the day, they had different disputes over the treatment of Shen Wu Tianxie's body.
-Although the deceased was dead, the sophisticated equipment [Magic Tuxedo] was still worn on the corpse.
In order to prevent the body itself from causing another strange incident, his suggestion was to cremate the body, but Black and White insisted on putting the body into his backpack, and said that the other party might come to take it back at night. Body... Did he guess right
"By the way, do you know how you died?"
With the idea of being able to communicate with the other party in his current state, Meng Qi got out of bed and asked the person outside the door.
"Logically speaking, your strength should be..."
"…I was killed by one of you."
After a moment of silence, a faint voice sounded outside the door.
"Open your computer and you'll see where the critical evidence lies."
After these words, the strange movements outside the door disappeared and returned to the original calm.
"evidence… "
Meng Qi casually drew a line behind him to block the charred arm that wanted to grab his feet. Without even the intention of turning around, Meng Qi sat down at the table and turned on the computer.
—On the computer desktop that was originally densely packed with games, a short video appeared at some point.
… … … … … … … … … … … … …
"...The apartment is responsible for protecting us?"
In room [504], the conversation between Bai Zhi and Ye Owl continued.
"Before, I went to the hall with Zhenggu Heming. Most of the people gathered there were ordinary humans. In this apartment where a lot of kaidan are gathered, do you think ordinary people can withstand the attack of kaidan? ?”
Facing the night owl's question, Bai Zhi answered firmly.
"In the apartment, there is a set of rules that restrict both humans and monsters. Although the rules restrict both humans and monsters, rules have always been used to protect the weak. As long as If human beings can abide by the rules of this apartment and not violate certain taboos, then they can survive well in this apartment."
"But if it were ordinary people, it would be impossible to clear those games, right?"
Although he roughly understood some of it, Night Owl still had a confused look on his face.
"Yesterday, this room was invaded by ghost stories. I almost..."
"Don't you understand yet? Most of the thousands of floor administrators in that hall are ordinary people. What do you mean by ordinary people?"
Bai Zhi stretched out a finger in front of him.
"Their basic attributes are all within the average of human beings, about ten points."
"Uh...so?"
"So they definitely don't have good things like fitness rooms because they are not players, and we definitely don't have that many extra chairs in our apartments because they are not players."
"They are ordinary, but we are special."
Volume 1 The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 189 Chapter 186 The Secret and Truth of the Apartment! !
"Special... Ordinary... I can't understand."
After thinking for a long time with a grimace, Night Owl simply shook his head.
"I've made it obvious... this is a ground-floor apartment specifically designed for players like us."
He glanced at Night Owl and sighed in his mouth. Bai Zhi's words sounded like he hated iron for not being able to become steel.
"Didn't you watch the video I showed you on the dining table during the day? Why do you think I took those videos? Do you really think I deliberately made you sick? Don't be kidding, I don't have that much Bad taste, I never do anything that doesn’t make any sense.”
"... So what is the point of having that image on the dining table?"
Clearly hearing the disgust in the other party's words, the corners of Night Owl's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
"I've said it from the beginning. My energy is limited on my own. I need you to help me observe the details together... It's a pity that your performance is so poor."
Reaching out and pressing his forehead, Bai Zhi slightly looked helpless.
"From the image I took, you should be able to notice the specific physical conditions of those people who were submerged in the sea of feces. It should be easy for ordinary people to distinguish them."
"Uh... That's why you will watch it again from the beginning with gusto... I thought you were..."
The night owl's face couldn't help but turn slightly red.
"Super strong taste, right? Come on, my taste is normal, I just hate sweets extremely."
Bai Zhi rolled his eyes.
"The crowd gathered there were basically all ordinary people. This discovery was actually my biggest gain last night."
"... So these apartments are not raising humans, but players? Humans are just incidental, and players like us are the main body?"
It took a lot of effort to clarify the meaning of what Bai Zhi wanted to express, and the night owl looked thoughtful.
"The apartment on this floor was originally prepared for us players. Is this what you want to express?"
"Yes, you finally understand."
After exhaling, Bai Zhi nodded happily.
"I learned a piece of news from one of my ghost story friends. The value of one player is comparable to hundreds of ordinary humans, so I speculate that there should be a person in these apartments. Due to the selection mechanism, humans who are qualified to become players will be taken to special floor apartments similar to this one... If we speculate from this aspect, the number of humans living in other ordinary apartment floors should be more than the small number of five. .”
Bai Zhi snapped his fingers, looking very excited.
"After all the necessary puzzle pieces have been completed, the secrets hidden in this apartment building will be revealed. How about it? Doesn't it feel super simple?"
Night Owl: "..."
"It's a pity. If I was chosen as the floor manager, I should be able to deduce everything on the first day... no, it should be on the second day. It's a pity."
Bai Zhi shook his head, with a look of regret on his face.
"So do you understand? What is important is not that the basic attributes reach full value, but the player identity we have. If any of us players use the fitness room specially prepared for us, If the basic values of the three attributes of agility and constitution are raised to full value, a very terrifying existence will come to harvest it personally, and that person will inevitably die at that time."
"… So where is the mystery shop?"
After thinking for a while, the curious baby night owl asked another question.
"There are also computers and games in each room and posters on the walls... What is the meaning of their existence?"
"Having the qualifications to become a player does not necessarily mean that he can become a player. Computers and games or posters in the room are all catalysts that promote the selected person to become a player... You should know the catalyst What is it?"
As he spoke, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes and glanced at the computer that was locked in the closet.
"Through the arrangement of these things in the room, the probability of those people becoming players can be effectively increased. As for the mysterious store... have you seen any good things we got from there?"
"Uh... no."
After briefly thinking about the four skills they had drawn so far, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and Night Owl shook his head.
"So this is it, throw some tattered and basically useless skill cards into the mystery shop. Firstly, you can find a good explanation for the points obtained by the game and the computer, and it can also increase their enthusiasm. Why not Why not?"
Shrugging, Bai Zhi looked noncommittal.
"Do you understand? The apartment we are on now is a special floor apartment dedicated to cultivating players. There is a cycle of seven days. After seven days, these cultivated players will be harvested."
"This kind of thing is inevitable..."
The night owl's mood suddenly darkened.
"Really? But you can't deny that although this approach is a little cruel, it is also the only way for humans to survive in a world that has been completely dominated by ghost stories."
Bai Zhi turned his head and looked towards the door.
"If humans in this world want to survive, they can only do this. They are willing to cut off all their resistance and personally deliver the existence that protects their world to the enemy's table... This is very frustrating. Everything is... It’s frustrating, but they have no choice.”
"So our world...will become like this in the future?"
Lowering his head, the night owl spoke softly, not knowing whether he was asking him or himself.
"So it all depends on us players. As long as we become strong enough, we will eventually be able to protect our world."
Yawning, Bai Zhi lay back on the chair again.
"Okay, let's be a little happy. In fact, there is no need to be so pessimistic about some things. After all, as long as you are alive, there is still hope."
"Is there hope... Do you think there is hope for this world?"
Night Owl raised his head and looked at him.
"All humans here are actually in a desperate situation, right?"
"Really? I don't think so."
Bai Zhi smiled slightly and opened the book again.
"Because in this world, there are still free players, and they... never give up."
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 190 Chapter 187: Things gradually become clear
Although humans in this world seem to be in a desperate situation, there is always light in the darkness.
In this world, there are indeed local free players, and under the premise that basically all humans in this world are under control, these free players still have not given up the idea of resisting.
-This inference is not groundless, but there is definite evidence.
According to Bai Zhi's speculation, the person named Shuangxiu nearby who had previously contacted Meng Qixia should be one of the local players in this world.
In a sense, this world is unfortunate because humans in this world are under the absolute control of Kaitan. But in a sense, this world is lucky because there are still human beings in this world. Existence, this world has not yet perished.
