The night was extremely quiet, except for the occasional sound of water drops coming from nowhere.
Xu Xi reviewed until about half past ten, then went out to take a shower and prepare to go to bed. When she returned to the room, she glanced at the door opposite in a strange way.
Going to bed so early today?
But why do you feel like you haven't slept yet?
Is it because you have too much work lately?
Xu Xi turned around and went back to her room. She didn't feel sleepy while lying on the bed. After staring at the ceiling expressionlessly for a while, she felt that it was useless to think about it, so she put her thoughts away and closed her eyes.
After finishing the college entrance examination this year, it should be much easier. Then she will still have time to go out to work part-time.
…
On the other side, Xu Shuo visited the forum until midnight.
He watched with interest as they argued about Patient No. 6 and Chen Chu, and then went out to read other posts to get information. When he felt really sleepy, he looked at the time...
Hot chicken forum, you missed my break!
Xu Shuo retreated to space instantly, covered himself with quilt and fell asleep.
…
The next day, Xu Shuo got up early, made two breakfasts energetically, and prepared lunch dishes.
Xu Xi got up around nine o'clock and was a little surprised to see him busy in the kitchen.
"Eat breakfast first. Lunch is here too. I will take you to school when you come back later."
As Xu Shuo spoke, he put the prepared ribs into the pressure cooker and simmered them. Start cooking now and wait until noon to open them until they taste just right.
Then, he fried a simple dish and put it in the microwave to keep it warm. He also waited until noon and heated it up before eating.
Xu Xi saw that he was preparing lunch and would not come back to eat, so he would most likely stay in the company and work overtime.
"Didn't you say yesterday that I would go to school by myself?" Xu Xi sat at the dining table, eating noodles slowly, and said calmly without any emotion.
"It won't take long to give you a ride." Xu Shuo said, wiped his hands and went back to the room to change clothes, and hurriedly prepared to go to work.
There was a soft click at the entrance, and the small rental house fell into silence again.
Xu Xi looked at the empty cabin and sighed imperceptibly.
…
In fact, the work in the morning was not too tiring. It was mainly about building the game framework with everyone in the studio. In addition, I also needed to say hello to the relevant departments in advance, so as not to get stuck in the step of putting it on the shelf after everything was done.
As the leader, Xu Shuo seems to only need to give orders and not do much, but in fact he does a little bit of everything.
He was so busy that he didn't know the time. When Li Ziwen ordered fast food for everyone, he realized that it was already 12:30 noon.
Looking at the time, Xu Shuo was stunned for a moment. He opened the player manual and found that the countdown had ended, but the system did not automatically pull him into the game immediately.
[The break is over, click to start the game. 】
Oh? Has this changed from passive to active?
So what if I never start?
Xu Shuo enthusiastically kept this conjecture, closed the player's manual, and continued to work while eating his lunch.
After lunch, the afternoon work began. Xu Shuo and Pei Sheng went to the commercial street to supervise the construction of the store. Then he looked at the time and realized that he was going back to take Xu Xi to school.
3pm.
Xu Xi has already packed her luggage. In fact, it doesn't have much, just a change of clothes and textbooks for review, all in one backpack.
"Don't you need to bring something back?" Looking at the simple luggage bag, Xu Shuo asked, "Do I want to buy you a carton of milk?"
"No need." Xu Xi said expressionlessly.
"If you are busy studying, you can prepare a box of bread and eat it when you are hungry."
"No need." Xu Xi interrupted him calmly: "The train will be more late."
After all, Yangcheng is a first-tier city. Usually there are many people and cars, and there are even more cars during commuting time.
However, the high school affiliated with the Normal University is in the eastern suburbs of another district. Xu Shuo drove on the city expressway. At this time, he was neither going to work nor getting off work, so there was no traffic jam.
On the straight road, there was only one white car running at a constant speed.
However, just when Xu Shuo was looking at the road carefully, his vision suddenly went dark!
The next moment, Xu Xi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly turned her head to look at him, her eyes widened slightly, and she quickly reached out and grabbed the steering wheel, gradually steering the car to the right.
Fortunately, there are no cars on the road now.
Xu Xi looked at the young man who suddenly closed his eyes, and his face gradually became cold.
…
…
【You have entered the theater. 】
[This script-killing project "Dancer in the Dark" is about to begin, so players please be prepared. 】
Xu Shuo opened his eyes, and his vision was filled with darkness, but there seemed to be something strange floating in the darkness, which seemed a little twisted and blurry.
He wanted to move, but his body seemed a little strange.
In the darkness, the huge mirror embedded in the wall reflected a twisted figure. It slowly straightened its upper body and raised its head, which was twisted in a strange way.
It raised its bent arm, touched its neck, and then made a "click" sound.
Straighten the twisted neck.
Xu Shuo stared at the ceiling, the pupils of his wide eyes were dark.
He heard the prompt from the system just now, and at that moment, he remembered that he seemed to have watched this script-killing movie before, and then he was still thinking, couldn't he win by lying down?
But now, no matter how he recalled the plot, he couldn't remember any details.
"So that's the case, no wonder it happens..."
Xu Shuo stopped talking to himself halfway because he thought the sound was really strange.
Hoarse and dull, the throat seemed to have been scratched by something. It became stuck and sharp, like the sound of a ghost, which made people shudder.
Xu Shuo lowered his head and raised his hand to look.
A pair of pale, delicate and soft hands, with some sticky stuff stuck on them. They couldn't see clearly in the dark, but the smell of blood reached the tip of their noses.
He touched his mouth again and determined that the blood was probably flowing from his body.
The darkness was cold and oppressive, and there was no sound of breathing in this extremely silent place.
There seemed to be something sticky flowing around him, filled with trembling malice. Countless pairs of eyes seemed to open in the darkness, hiding in dark corners, staring greedily and expectantly at the twisted figure.
Xu Shuo felt it quietly for a while. After he tried to think about the plot to no avail, he thought that he seemed to be driving before and he had to end the game quickly and go back.
So he retracted his thoughts, opened the player's manual in a strange atmosphere, and received the mission information.
The character's name is "Akiko", a ballet dancer who is about to participate in a competition. However, while practicing in the dance studio today, someone broke her neck.
died.
[Mission: Find the murderer who killed you. 】
Xu Shuo: "..."
No wonder he felt so strange about his body, because his character... was actually a dead person? ?
What kind of terrible script is this? !
Wouldn't he really scare the people outside to death if he ran out?
At this time, the stiff, sticky and cold feeling in the body gradually dissipated, and the body regained a lot of consciousness.
Xu Shuo stood up tentatively, staggering slightly before he regained his balance. Then, step by step, he slowly walked towards the huge glass that reflected light in the dark.
The strange glimmer of light reflected the approaching figure. He was petite and thin, wearing a dark red tutu. A pair of slender legs were curved elegantly and slenderly. At a glance, the legs were all the way down from the neck.
The girl is not tall but has a good figure.
Xu Shuo: "..."
Not only is he a dead man, he is also a woman.
