"It's the seventh day of the dungeon, and no clues have been found yet." A player was anxious in a corner, "What is the real name of the Gu God..."
Zhou Zhou quickly pricked up her ears. She clasped her hands and prepared to eavesdrop. Houses in such a shabby village were not well soundproofed.
But even though the players left with Zhou Shan, she was the only idiot NPC who could not hear the content of the copy and did not turn down the volume. However, the room where the girl was located was not close to the room where they were, so they could only hear vaguely. Not sure.
No, no, this is not okay.
Zhou Zhou quickly put on his clothes and ran out.
Fortunately, she was a fool and an NPC, so no players were wary of her. Even if she ran outside the house, no one cared.
She squatted close to them, her pretty little face was blank, and she continued to eavesdrop openly.
The players glanced at her. This girl was still so incredibly beautiful, as if she was not living in a thrilling horror copy, but in a castle full of fairy tales.
And they are precarious vagabonds.
This idea made the players feel complicated, but they really had no ill feelings toward the girl.
She is just an innocent, poor, NPC with a questionable IQ.
"Escape Games won't give us unanswered questions." A short-haired female player murmured, "But we didn't find anything last night. The dungeon boss stayed with this girl last night and didn't go out."
"Is she the key to the copy?"
"I don't know." Another player looked at the woman with a steady voice, "The only thing we know now is that the Gu God should have a pair of golden eyes."
"There is also the line of blood written under the giant python carved in the wall cave."
Golden eyes... Zhou Zhou clenched her fingers hard. She thought of Zhou Shan, of Ke Zhi... the giant python...
Everyone in Gu Village can be parasitized.
There was an incredible answer in her mind.
"Well..." the short-haired female player was silent for a moment, "What about the other villagers? Was there anything wrong last night?"
"No."
The player's eyes suddenly became distracted, and then he said loudly.
His voice was so decisive that the woman was a little startled. She looked directly into the player's eyes and said in a serious tone, "Really not?"
"Or maybe you saw some of them, but you just didn't pay attention."
The player was slightly stunned, the woman's eyes were like whirlpools. Under such gaze, he carefully thought about what happened last night, and his expression changed.
"I just had a little problem with my memory."
He was sweating and his voice was hoarse, "Yesterday I saw... the villagers in Gu Village transporting the corpses of Gu insects and tourists."
"A large number of corpses and dead insect bodies were dragged to the entrance of a blood-red hole. There were patterns engraved on it that I couldn't understand, as if they were trying to summon something... The more I looked at it, the more my head hurt... and the villagers seemed to be aware of it. I exist..."
"I, I was too scared... I originally wanted to tell you about it when I came back, but I don't know why I had a memory problem and forgot about it."
"fine."
The other players looked at him deeply, with caution and coldness in their eyes.
This person's mental value must have dropped significantly, so he was in a daze and forgot about it.
"That pattern should be mentally polluting. It's normal for you to forget it."
The atmosphere among the players became silent, and suddenly someone said, "We can't just sit back and wait for death, can we?"
"The dungeon boss should go to that cave. If he really wants to summon the Gu God, we should follow him and take a look, right?"
This person is right, staying here is not an option, and it is impossible for them to retreat now.
Otherwise, even if they survived seven days, they would still end up dead if they failed to complete the system's tasks and did not know "His" true name.
It's hard to say which one is more terrifying, dying in the dungeon or being wiped out by the system.
The players nodded and prepared to leave.
No one continued to pay attention to the npc in the corner.
Zhou Zhou had almost heard it. She seemed to be playing silly, and in order to appear more realistic, she jumped and pushed open the room next door.
The system looked at him expressionlessly, [He is really just a child. 】
But as soon as she walked in, her beautiful face wrinkled and her nose twitched.
Zhou Zhou's nose has always been very good, and she really found it strange.
And she is very familiar, but she is always groggy...
After thinking for a while, she subconsciously avoided that kind of speculation.
...Is it blood?
Zhou Zhou's beautiful and bright eyes rolled a few times and landed on a wad of paper on the table.
When the system saw that she was about to take it over for a look, it was startled and said quickly: [Don't open it! 】
But it was too late, Zhou Zhou had already stretched out.
A male voice sounded from behind, "What are you doing?"
It’s Chu Mingxiu.
Zhou Zhou was suddenly frightened, and subconsciously let go of his hand, causing the paper ball to fall to the ground.
Chu Mingxiu's expression finally changed when he saw the curled-up paper ball stretched out. His skin and bones were excellent, and his jaw was sharp and sharp.
At this time, the man's fine eyelashes trembled, with an icy coldness.
His tone was uncontrollably astringent, "...were you holding this thing just now?"
He had just gone out. As soon as he came back from outside and reached the door, he noticed someone coming in. His breath was so sweet, with a trace of delicate and bewitching life.
It was the scent of a girl who kept her awake all night.
Chu Mingxiu opened the door, and as expected it was Zhou Zhou.
But her back was turned to him, and she was sneaking around not knowing what she was doing, so he asked casually, but he didn't expect that she was actually holding his thing.
"Do you know what that is?"
The expression on the man's face was complicated and obscure, and he stared at her with a look that Zhou Porridge couldn't explain, with an emotion that made her a little uneasy.
It's as if some kind of thick desire has been suppressed to the limit, and his eyebrows are like a ferocious beast.
"No, I don't know..."
Zhou Zhou lied subconsciously, but her intuition prevented her from saying those words.
Chu Mingxiu didn't know whether he believed it or not, but he smiled softly.
"You'll find out soon enough."
The girl's body trembled.
[Porridge, don’t be afraid. ] The system said coldly: [Run—run out the door. 】
Zhou Zhou finally got smart. She realized what a terrible move she had just made. She just pressed the system command and rushed to the door.
But, I was caught.
"Why are you running?"
Chu Mingxiu's cold eyes fell almost greedily on the girl.
"Don't you like my room? You sneaked in when I wasn't paying attention..."
"...you dare to wave this thing in front of me...are you really not knowing or are you pretending not to know?"
"I, I really don't know..."
Zhou Zhou couldn't admit anything, his voice was trembling.
Even her face turned pale.
"Oh." Chu Mingxiu's lips raised slightly, "Then if you be good, you will suffer less."
"After all...it's mine,"
"You may not be able to bear it."
Zhou Zhou's face turned red subconsciously: "?"
What do you mean?
The system sighed: [...ignore him and leave directly. 】
Zhou Zhou obediently did as he was told.
"Get out of the way, I just ran in accidentally..."
She kept her voice steady and tried to be as cold and hard as possible.
The girl ignored the slight surprise in the man's eyes, shook off his hand, and ran towards the door quickly.
"...Don't stop me!"
"If you can't tell me, won't I stop you?"
Chu Mingxiu picked her up expressionlessly, his voice hoarse.
"Don't leave."
