"What's the matter? It's so mysterious. Isn't there a monster trapped in it?" The maintenance man stepped forward and looked at the container.
Liu Pengcheng said with a warm smile: "It's a replenishment for the trading store, and you need to go through security check."
"Is it just moving goods?" Xue Jin asked.
"The task requirement is to carry goods, but you also know that the underground employee passage is very long, and you have to take the cargo elevator to enter the employee security inspection passage. No one knows what will happen on the way. Anyway, there are so many of us here, there should be no It’s a problem,” Liu Pengcheng said.
"Then what are you waiting for? Move it quickly and help me with the task after moving it." The man in the suit walked to the door of the container and pulled the door hard. The iron door did not move at all. He asked doubtfully: "Where is the key?"
"Oh, I have the key here, here it is." Liu Pengcheng handed the key to the man in the suit, looked at the three people behind him and said, "Come over and help."
"Okay, here we go."
Huang Xijin replied and was about to step forward. Suddenly, the phone in her pocket vibrated.
"Hey, is there a signal?"
She took out her phone in confusion.
Xue Jin and Lan Defei also received the message on their mobile phones at the same time, and all three of them changed their mobile phone ringtones to vibrate.
They also took out their mobile phones one after another and looked at the messages sent on their phones with confusion.
After reading the message, the three people's expressions changed suddenly, and they suddenly raised their heads and stared at Liu Pengcheng standing in front of the container.
At this time, the warm smile on Liu Pengcheng's face gradually disappeared, and his eyes became fierce and vicious!
He also noticed the changes on the three people's faces.
"Stop pretending, I'm showing off my cards!" Liu Pengcheng suddenly said.
The maintenance man asked in confusion: "What's the showdown?"
"Bang!!!"
Suddenly, a loud noise came.
The iron door of the container was suddenly knocked open from the inside!
The man in a suit who was still holding the key outside the door didn't even have time to react before he was bitten off the upper body by the behemoth that rushed out of the container!
The sudden scene shocked several people.
"Nightmare, he is Nightmare!"
"Liu Pengcheng is a nightmare!!" Huang Xijin shouted in horror.
The maintenance man looked at Liu Pengcheng in disbelief and said tremblingly: "Isn't this true, Pengcheng?"
But, it was too late.
The behemoth roared and slapped the maintenance man with a claw. In an instant, several pieces of blood flew out.
See this scene.
Xue Jin, Huang Xijin, and Lan Defei looked horrified.
"Run!" Xue Jin shouted.
The three of them turned around and used their magical powers to run wildly the way they came.
In front of the container, Liu Pengcheng raised his hand to signal the giant creature behind him to stop pursuing it.
"My identity has been exposed. It seems I have to find a new body." Liu Pengcheng said.
The behemoth's body slowly shrank, turning into the look of a butcher at a pork stall.
"Why didn't those three people fall for the trick?" the butcher lit a cigarette and asked doubtfully.
Liu Pengcheng stared at the passage in front of him and cursed secretly: "I was negligent. I didn't expect that there was a signal in this section of the passage!"
"Is he the kid who escaped that day?" the butcher said.
Liu Pengcheng's eyes became extremely cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No one can ruin our good deeds except him."
"That guy is difficult to deal with. One of our members fell into his hands." The butcher said.
"It doesn't matter, that guy will die when the Demon Mother wakes up!" Liu Pengcheng sneered.
The butcher blew out a smoke ring and narrowed his eyes slightly: "There is good news today."
"Oh? What's the good news?" Liu Pengcheng asked.
"You have to work hard, we have captured one-third of this airport." The butcher said with a proud smile.
When Liu Pengcheng heard this, he gritted his teeth and said: "It's all that guy, otherwise we will definitely be faster than you guys!"
"How many players are still alive?" The Butcher asked.
"There are still 17 people, but three of those people are ours. Hum, it won't be long before we can catch up with your progress." Liu Pengcheng stared at the long underground passage coldly, with a sharp look in his eyes. flash.
"It's time for a bloodbath!"
…
…
"This is where I live."
Zhao Yingzhi took Li Ran to the rental house she rented.
It's a rental house where single women live. It's clean and has a light fragrance in the room.
It can be seen that Zhao Yingzhi's original body should like to play with some interesting toys.
"This is your work uniform, right?" Li Ran stared at a very stylish black security uniform hanging on the wall, not daring to look elsewhere.
"Can you find something useful?" Zhao Yingzhi glared at Li Ran and found that he seemed uncomfortable. She suddenly understood: "Are you nervous about entering a woman's room?"
"Fart, I'm so thick-skinned, wasn't that what I was looking for?"
How could he blush when he entered a girl's room? Didn't he enter a girl's room too often recently?
In addition to my own room, I have been running to the girl's room for the past two days.
He was not an innocent little turkey now, so how could he blush because of some girls' underwear and some fun toys that were placed in obvious places in the room.
That is absolutely impossible.
"You originally had a rich life." Li Ran said.
"It's not for me anyway, there's nothing shameful about it." Zhao Yingzhi said frankly.
Fuck, Zhao Yingzhi doesn't even care, he cares about nothing.
Fortunately, Li Ran no longer restrained his gaze and began to explore wildly.
For a long time, he had doubts about Zhao Yingzhi's identity.
"Is your identity really a security check?" Li Ran raised his head and asked.
Zhao Yingzhi said: "It looks like it's for sale, right?"
"That's what you said."
"It doesn't matter, it's just a copy identity, I don't care."
Zhao Yingzhi leaned against the wall, folding her arms and watching Li Ran who was rummaging through boxes in the house. Sometimes she would see him rummaging through some toys that made people blush with an embarrassed expression on his face, but she wanted to laugh.
"Have you found any useful clues?" Zhao Yingzhi asked.
"have!"
"But you have to tell me, what did you do before going to bed last night?"
Li Ran climbed out of the fragrant and soft bed. He didn't find any useful clues in this room, so he planned to find the problem from Zhao Yingzhi's guidance mission.
"Before going to bed, I heard some weird sounds and saw some hallucinations, but I didn't care. After all, after experiencing the Dark Palace, I think those hallucinations are nothing compared to the Dark Palace." Zhao Yingzhi said.
"Are they three rules?" Li Ran asked.
Zhao Yingzhi walked aside, took a note from the side of the refrigerator and handed it to Li Ran.
There are three rules written on a sticky note.
You can’t bring men back to spend the night!
If you hear any noise at midnight, don't open the door!
There must be no phone sound in the room at midnight!
"It seems that every place where players live has similar three rules." Li Ran said.
This also confirmed his previous guess.
Especially midnight, there are two related rules.
However, the first one seems to be relatively arbitrary and breakable.
"Then what is your guidance mission?" Li Ran asked.
"My first guiding task is to pray."
"Pray for blessings?"
Zhao Yingzhi nodded and said: "The first guidance task is to pray in front of a hundred-year-old dead tree."
"What is the content of the prayer?" Li Ran asked.
"Pray for the blessing of Mother Earth." Zhao Yingzhi walked to the dressing table and took out a photo and handed it to Li Ran.
Li Ran looked at the photo. It was a bit yellowish. It was a huge dead tree. The branches of the dead tree were covered with red silk and ribbons for blessing. Because of the yellowing of the photo, it looked a bit strange. .
He also noticed that there were many places where the bark had fallen off on the surface of the huge dead tree. In the center of the trunk, the fallen bark formed a pattern.
That pattern looks like an eye!
Li Ran frowned slightly: "The progress bar in your eyes must have something to do with this tree."
"You think so too?"
"This dead tree itself has a strange feeling, and there is an eye on the middle trunk. How can it be okay?" Li Ran frowned and said, and then he continued to ask: "What is your second mission?"
Li Ran faintly began to feel that there was something wrong with Zhao Yingzhi's mission.
Most of the players' first guidance tasks after getting their identities are almost identity-related tasks. If he is a bartender, he will go to the coffee shop to report. Xue Jin is the leader of the emergency team and he will go to the emergency team to report, including Lan Daifei, The same is true for Huang Xijin.
Zhao Yingzhi's identity is security inspection. Logically speaking, her first guidance task should be to report to the security inspection department, and then take on subsequent tasks.
The first task is to find a dead tree to pray for blessings?
Isn't Zhao Yingzhi's identity a security check?
Thinking of this, Li Ran looked at Zhao Yingzhi fiercely.
Zhao Yingzhi suddenly laughed slyly: "You saw it!"
Li Ran was stunned.
But he quickly rolled his eyes and said, "Boring, your acting skills are terrible."
Zhao Yingzhi waved her hand boredly and said: "Sure enough, nothing can escape your eyes. My second guidance task is to sow seeds."
"What is sowing?" Li Ran felt more and more something was wrong.
"It's the seeds of that dead tree. The mission requires me to give those seeds to ten aborigines and let them take them without knowing it." Zhao Yingzhi said.
"Have you completed this task?" Li Ran asked.
Zhao Yingzhi shook her head and said, "I did one, but I felt something was wrong, so I didn't dare to do it again."
"There's obviously something wrong with your mission. It's not like a player's mission." Li Ran said with a look of shock.
"But I will get points and rewards for completing the mission." Zhao Yingzhi said.
Li Ran looked at Zhao Yingzhi, indicating that she was not lying.
It means that her mission is real and she is not possessed by a nightmare.
And Li Ran probably guessed what the progress bar in her eyes meant.
"Has the progress bar in your eyes gone up?" Li Ran asked.
Zhao Yingzhi nodded and said, "It has increased. It is now 70%."
"Let's go, take me to the first house where you sow seeds." Li Ran's expression suddenly became solemn.
She thought of a terrible thing.
Zhao Yingzhi's mission is real, and she is not possessed by a nightmare.
But her mission is so strange.
It can only explain one problem.
Her mission is not hers!
Soon, he would be verified.
Zhao Yingzhi took Li Ran to a one-story bungalow.
"Knock knock knock!!"
"Knock knock knock!!"
Li Ran frowned slightly and when no one responded, he kicked the door open without saying a word.
At this time, the progress bar in Zhao Yingzhi's eyes reached 90%.
The two broke into the house.
Li Ran immediately smelled a strange smell of wood and blood intertwined.
"inside."
Li Ran was sure that the smell of blood was coming from the back room. The smell was very strong. When he inhaled from the tip of his nose to the base of his tongue, he could smell a fishy-sweet smell.
When the two of them arrived in the back room, they were instantly shocked by the scene in front of them.
I saw a man in the back room whose body was covered with white branches turning around tremblingly.
"hiss!"
Li Ran took a breath of cold air and looked at the man covered with branches in disbelief.
Tender white branches grew from the man's forehead, cheekbones, eye sockets, neck, shoulders, arms, abdomen, thighs, and calves, and each branch was covered with bright red fruits.
And the strong bloody smell emanates from those blood jade-like fruits, which is particularly weird!
When had Li Ran ever seen such a terrifying scene, where a living person turned into a bloody tree?
Each of those shocking blood jade fruits seems to contain thick plasma.
Looking back at the man, his face is haggard, his body is thin, and he looks like a mummy.
"Help...save...save me, save me."
The zombie-like man can no longer be called a human being. He has turned into a terrifying blood tree monster!
"How old is the progress bar?" Li Ran asked in horror as he looked at the blood tree monster in front of him.
Li Ran frowned: "Zhao Yingzhi?"
He turned around, and suddenly a pair of bloody eyes appeared in front of Li Ran.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp bloody claw tore down.
"snort!"
Li Ran snorted coldly and retreated sharply.
"It's you old vampire witch again!" Li Ran said coldly.
The Zhao Yingzhi who was killing Li Ran in front of her was no longer Zhao Yingzhi. The vampire soul in her body once again seized the initiative of Zhao Yingzhi's body.
And the tasks that Zhao Yingzhi did before that were not the players' tasks.
It is a mission that this vampire received as a player.
Therefore, Zhao Yingzhi's mission is different from that of ordinary players.
The progress bar Zhao Yingzhi sees is the progress bar of the seeds growing into blood tree monsters after sowing. When the blood tree matures, the progress bar will reach 100%, and the vampire can enjoy the plasma produced on the blood tree. fruit.
"It's a great trick to change the situation. If Zhao Yingzhi hadn't stopped the loss in time, I'm afraid you, an old witch, would have succeeded."
Obviously, the more seeds are sown, the more plasma fruits the vampire will get. By then, the vampire will have grown very powerful.
Li Ran also learned that the soul could bring out a copy.
You can even enter the instance as a player to receive guidance tasks!
It’s simply terrifying to think about it!
If it were any later, this vampire would have taken over the dove's nest and taken away Zhao Yingzhi's body.
Zhao Yingzhi showed her sharp vampire fangs and viciously killed Li Ran.
"Zhao Yingzhi, wake up!"
Li Ran retreated quickly, and then escaped into the ground.
Reappeared, already behind the vampire.
"Chitong, hold her back!"
Li Ran summoned Red Eyes.
Suddenly, a cold and handsome Netherworld Six-tailed Fox with gorgeous six tails came out of the summoning space.
The exaggerated Vulpix danced wildly in this small space, elegant, sharp and extremely domineering!
"Zhizhi!!" Chitong showed his sharp fangs viciously.
As Li Ran's attributes improve in all aspects, Chitong enjoys a 20% bonus to all attributes, plus his own growth.
Chi Tong's attributes are also quite luxurious.
Netherworld Six-tailed Fox
A-level mental infection
Creativity: 1200+ (776)
Agile: (384)
Strength: (294)
Physique: (290)
The red pupil's guile value has reached 2,000. If you add it up, you can't beat Zhao Yingzhi, who has a guile value of 2,500.
Soon, Chi Tong and the vampire were fighting together.
In an instant, the entire house was destroyed beyond recognition.
Li Ran stood aside and quickly took out the crystal violin [Death Dream]
He put the violin on his shoulder, put the bow on the strings, and the ethereal and mournful strings sounded.
As soon as the music sounded, the vampire held his head in pain.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chi Tong attacked Zhao Yingzhi instantly.
"Bang!!"
The wall collapsed suddenly, and vampire Zhao Yingzhi was hit by Chi Tong and others with lightning and flew out of the wall.
The sharp claws of Chi Tong's forelimbs firmly pressed the vampire to the ground, making the vampire unable to move.
Li Ran came to the street,
Li Ran squatted in front of the vampire and pulled the strings one by one.
"Well!"
"I am going to kill you!"
"ah!!"
"I will cut you into pieces!"
Li Ran ordered Chi Tong not to kill the vampire, after all, it was Zhao Yingzhi's body.
If the vampire dies, Zhao Yingzhi will die too.
His purpose is to destroy or suppress the vampire's soul.
Now, the only way to suppress this vampire is Violin Death Dream!
"Ah... my head hurts so much, my head is going to explode..."
"Ah... don't play anymore... I'm going to tear that broken violin to pieces!"
Li Ran raised his eyebrows, raised his lips and continued to play the violin: "It's time to learn a complete piece of music."
He believed that the reason why he could not completely suppress the vampire was related to his inability to play a complete song. If he could play a complete song, the vampire would die happily.
The vampire at Chi Tong's feet was holding her head in pain and wailing, with veins popping up on her forehead like worms, and the sharp fangs exposed made her whole face look particularly ferocious.
Instead, he looked like Tang Sanzang who was chanting a tightening curse, and the vampire was the monkey.
When he pulls it, the vampire wails.
It’s so painful!
"Stop pulling, please!" The vampire's voice became weak and begged.
"That's okay, you always occupy her body and won't leave." Li Ran played on the violin again.
"Ah!!!" The vampire held her head and shouted in pain, but she couldn't move even a little bit. The huge ghost six-tailed fox pressed her to the ground with its claws.
"If I hadn't protected her from leaving the dark palace, she would have died long ago." The vampire looked at Li Ran with pain on his face and continued: "As a bargaining chip in the deal, I have the right to use her body!"
Seeing the terrifying murderous intent in Li Ran's eyes, the vampire was frightened.
That look was no joke, he could really kill her!
Especially with that damn broken violin.
If she continues to play, she will be beaten to pieces!
"She signed a deal with me. If I die, she will die too!" the vampire said threateningly.
Li Ran remembered that the vampire did say such things when he was in the pottery shop.
But at that time, he thought the vampire was making it up to save his life.
Now it seems to be true.
"Trade contract?"
Li Ran stared at vampire Zhao Yingzhi in confusion.
(The player can form a contract with the target through master-servant, enslavement, trade, etc.)
(The transaction contract is a type of symbiosis between the soul and the host. If the host or the target dies, both will be destroyed. The host can use body parts as bargaining chips to obtain power from the contract target.)
