After the crowd had gone away, I looked at the note in my hand. The words on it shocked me.
"I love you walking alone in a dark alley,
Palace jade liquor,
Five years of college entrance examination,
Odd changes to even, unchanged.
No gifts will be accepted during the holidays this year.
I live in Cang Yuexuan"
Looking at these few lines of words, I suddenly felt extremely familiar. A lot of information poured into my brain in an instant, and at the same time, a small full screen was projected in front of my eyes.
Player ID: Baibaizi
Occupation: Painter
Name: Bai Zijun
Login time: 2233 hours, 23 minutes and 23 seconds
Login place: East China
When I looked at these few lines of words, it suddenly dawned on me. I remembered that this was a holographic game that emerged half a year ago. This game is called [Nine Nights of Ghost Stories]. And I am not an original NPC in this world, I am a player.
Through the reflection function of the holographic screen, I realized that I had a big LV.99 on top of my head.
But no matter how much I thought about it, I just felt dizzy and couldn't think of more.
Suddenly, I discovered that there were small words flickering underneath.
"[Nine Nights Ghost Story] server update failure, the server will automatically shut down after 100 days, players please pay attention to the system online time.
Players who log in subsequently after the information is announced will be automatically logged out. "
After I turned off the notification with small characters, several large bright characters suddenly popped up on the page.
"Welcome player [Bai Baizi] back to the game"
Assuming that I received this game server shutdown message just after logging in, then based on the time in the game to the current login time, there should be 6 days left before the server automatically shuts down.
I don’t know what the world will be like after automatic shutdown, and I don’t want to know.
So I don't have much time left.
But what’s strange is why I have no memory of these before, and even thought of myself as an NPC in the game.
This is really weird.
Originally I was going to the warehouse, but now I know more clearly why I want to go there, it is where the game is refreshed.
Under the holographic screen is clearly written my last task as a player in this game: to find the reason why Song House keeps repeating the ninth day of July, and to crack it.
I was probably doing this task before I lost consciousness and memory, so I regarded myself as an NPC.
In this way, it seemed that I suddenly understood why I was the only deviant NPC and why this world was so weird and weird.
At this moment, the words "You are an NPC that goes back and forth with this world" written on the embroidered handkerchief slowly turned into red powder and disappeared into the air.
There is also a player list on the edge of the holographic screen interface. There are five people in it, including me, but at this moment, the avatars are all gray except for me.
One thing worth noting is that none of these people are at level 66.
Then the next step is whether I go directly to the warehouse as originally planned, or go to Cang Yuexuan to meet my compatriots.
I walked around for eight days and finally found Cang Yuexuan. This is actually located directly southeast of the master's bedroom, and is only separated by a garden from the master's bedroom.
I saw the house was brightly lit and knocked on the door.
After a while, I saw a woman's figure appear inside the door.
"Palace Jade Wine?" It was the voice of the woman just now, but her voice was very soft.
"One hundred and eighty cups!" I replied calmly.
"College entrance exam in five years?"
"Three years of simulation."
"Stay unchanged from odd to even?" I felt her voice getting more and more excited, and what she said couldn't help but remind me of my math teacher.
“Symbols look at the quadrants!”
"No gifts for the holidays this year!" she even started singing.
"I only accept melatonin for gifts."
"I love you walking down a dark alley alone!"
"I love the way you don't kneel down."
"I love you and persisted through despair and refused to cry~" She seemed to be so excited that she actually started singing.
I quickly interrupted the spell casting.
The door opened in response, and inside was the woman dressed just like the daughter of a wealthy woman. There was a very special tear mole under the corner of her left eye.
She immediately pulled me inside and closed the door, even bolting it.
When we entered, she looked at me excitedly, and asked me with a look of disbelief and worry: "Where did you log in, and how long have you been online?"
"East China, I may have been online for a long time before the message about the server suspension popped up."
After hearing what I said, she couldn't help but hugged me with excitement: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, friend, I have been locked up here for almost three months, and I finally met a normal person in the Song residence. If you don't show up to me, You might think I'm crazy..."
After hearing her tell me her heartfelt sorrows, it turned out that her name was Su Yue, she was also a player, and her identity here was the eldest lady of the Song Dynasty. But she has never been good at reasoning games that use her brain. She was caught playing this game with her friends before. Unexpectedly, the server suddenly stopped and she didn’t know the whereabouts of her friend. She just continued to play here alone day after day. , and couldn’t find a way out.
I also explained to her about the player list, but she was confused and said that she didn't know there was such a thing, and besides me, she had never found any other players in the Song Mansion.
"I have tried every method... I tried to escape, but I found that I couldn't find the exit at all. No matter how I walked, I could only go back to the known route, like a ghost fighting against a wall..." Speaking of this, She seemed to be frightened by her own words. She paused and continued, "I even tried to make a scene at the banquet and fight with people in public... But no matter what, I can't escape the reset fate, and those people are not as good as before. memory."
At this point, she looked at me thoughtfully: "Have you been to the ancestral hall?"
"No, what happened to the ancestral hall?"
"I'm just guessing. My mission is the same as yours, which is to break the cycle, but the key word for the prompt is sacrifice, and..." At this point, I saw her face stiffen, and she said the second half of the sentence tremblingly. , "And... the first seven... here, the only thing that can be related to these two words is the ancestral hall... I think since you are the third wife of the Song Dynasty, you must go to the ancestral hall to worship when you get married. Pass."
I thought about it, but it was a pity: "But I have no memory related to the ancestral hall. Maybe it was because I had already become the third wife in the beginning?"
"If you came here three months ago like me, you should have been married. The initial task did not involve cycles. At that time, every day was normal, and it was gradual day by day, until this task appeared." She looked at me and continued, "I remember that it was a few days after I became the eldest lady that Song Ming married the third lady."
At this point we all fell silent.
It was Su Yue who broke the silence first: "It's getting late, the birthday banquet should have started a long time ago, let's go to the birthday banquet now to look for clues!"
I remembered that the food and wine at the birthday banquet were poisoned. Everyone at the birthday banquet should have been knocked down by now.
He immediately agreed to go together and told Su Yue that he needed to go home before Hai Shi.
Sure enough, the banquet was already swaying, but this time it may be that we arrived late, so I discovered that "Song Ming", whether it was the one before or the other one behind, these two faces were not among these swaying people. in.
It was already getting late, and even if "Song Ming" wasn't here, he couldn't care about anything more at this moment.
We hurried to the backyard. After seeing me stepping into the backyard, her expression changed.
At this moment, the moon in the backyard was so huge that it looked like a meteorite about to hit the earth, and there was a red light around it, as if it had just been fished out of blood. At first glance, it looked like the arrival of an evil god.
Su Yue suddenly looked panicked and tugged at the corner of my clothes: "Sister Bai, why are you here..."
Seeing her panicked tone and frightened expression, I looked at her strangely. Seeing the unclear look she was giving me, she dragged me back and said as she walked: "This...this is where that person lives. If he is... It’ll be over if he finds us here!”
I looked confused: "That person?"
"That's it... that, Sister Bai, don't you know, his name here is Ren Jian, but he..."
As she was talking, and we were just one step away from the doorway, a male voice from behind suddenly interrupted her.
