Love Apartment (4)
/Text: Green Plum Sauce
Obviously, the situation of NPC running out did not only happen to Chi Zing.
Due to various unexpected visits, the entire player group was once in chaos. The NPC blocking the door blocked their only way out of the apartment. This made the closed door seem to isolate a very suffocating space. What follows is confusion and suffocation for subsequent exploration.
Chi Ting did not look at the situation outside the cat's eye, but he knew that Gloria was outside.
Very softly, he could hear the little girl humming softly. The childish voice was like an invisible hand, strangely touching a very sensitive part of his heart, trying to evoke layers of electric shock-like tremors. .
At this time, the benefits of group chat are reflected. Through the random message exchanges between players, it is not difficult to find that although the NPCs who should not appear on their floor came suddenly, at least they stayed there very "politely" In the corridor, there was no attempt to break in.
Just like Gloria at the door.
"It's really..." Chi Ting didn't know what words to use to describe his current mood, but according to his usual habit, when he encountered a situation that he couldn't understand, he would often choose the most direct way to describe his current mood. behaviors to dig out clues.
So he casually rubbed his soft long hair, put the door handle on, pressed it hard, and pushed the door open.
The barrage that was still rushing around stopped with this movement, and they all exclaimed: [Fuck, this newcomer is so brave! ? 】
Chi Ting's behavior undoubtedly formed a sharp contrast with the other players who were huddled in their rooms in the live broadcast room. The unexpected eye contact caused Gloria's children's song to come to an abrupt end with an elegant ending. .
The next second, a harmless smile appeared on her face again: "I know you must be at home, big brother. Now, can you help me find my doll?"
Chi Ting was wearing a white shirt, leaning against the door with his arms wrapped around his body. At first glance, it looked like a very natural and relaxed posture, but from the rear angle, you could clearly feel the tight muscle lines on his back.
His lowered gaze casually fell on Gloria, with a concealed soft smile covering the underlying murderous intent, which was his usual defensive posture before hunting.
As long as the little girl in front of him makes even the slightest restless move, he doesn't mind taking the necessary measures to deal with species other than humans.
"So, what kind of doll did you lose?" Chi Ting's smile was full of kindness.
"Well, it's like this one, just wearing different clothes."
It wasn't until Gloria raised her hand that Chi Ting could clearly see the doll she was holding in her arms.
Long black hair that barely reaches the shoulders, a very decent gentleman's white shirt, even with a reduced body shape, you can feel the excellent tall figure through the proportions of the suit pants.
Chi Ting's eyes finally stopped at the choker around the doll's neck. The hanging miniature version of the exotic stone was restored to perfection.
Gloria's hand was tightly holding the doll's throat. At first glance, Chi Ting seemed to feel the suffocation of someone locking her throat.
He subconsciously reached out and gently stroked the choker on his neck, which felt a bit cold to the touch.
[Mom, I can’t stand watching this. I get crazy every time I see it. 】
[I can be considered an old viewer who has followed the group since the first time. I can only say that Gloria’s character has become more and more perverse from the first copy to now. 】
[Didn’t the newcomer reject her last time? I thought I could escape. 】
[Le, didn’t you pay attention to the rules during the previous group starts? It was probably because he refused at that time that it was even more fatal. 】
[So no matter what choice you make, it will be death? Then play der! 】
[Don't worry, I think this newcomer is quite calm, so just keep watching. 】
Old players who have experienced several dungeons all know that in the world of infinite games, the most worrying thing is to completely lose your mind.
As long as he can remain calm, it at least means there is still the possibility of finding a way to clear the level.
Chi Ting looks quite calm now.
He slowly squatted down in front of Gloria, and his slow tone even sounded like a lie: "So, what does that different set of clothes look like?"
Gloria blurted out: "My doll is wearing a light yellow dress, has long hair, and has a black and white polka-dot bow tied on her head."
Chi Ting pondered for a moment. According to the description, a figure quickly emerged from his mind.
He reached out and took out the mobile phone in his pocket: "Wait a moment."
[1202-Chi Ting: @1302-Xiang Xianwan, are you there? ]
The player group was in chaos, so the message Chi Ting sent was instantly overwritten, and he had to send another one.
This time, I finally got a reply from the other party.
[1302-Xiang Xianwan: Yes! Here I am! Is there something going on downstairs? ]
[1202-Chi Ting: Hello. ]
[1202-Chi Ting: Actually, it’s not a big deal. ]
[1202-Chi Ting: I just wanted to ask, can I take a selfie of you? ]
[1302-Xiang Xianwan:...? ]
Other messages in the group also paused. Under such an untimely request, there was only a row of ellipses and question marks left.
[1202-Chi Ting: I’ll explain the specific reasons to you later, is that convenient? ]
[1302-Xiang Xianwan:...Wait a moment. ]
At Chi Ting's insistence, the girl player who lives on the 13th floor finally sent the photo.
Chi Ting clicked on the photo to save it and sent it directly to Gloria: "Does the doll you are looking for look like this?"
Gloria blinked very innocently, and the corners of her mouth lifted little by little, revealing a very bright smile: "Yes, this is my doll. How about it, it looks very beautiful."
Because of the pronunciation, Chi Ting couldn't tell for a moment whether Gloria said "she" or "it", but the look in her eyes that fell on the photo at that moment seemed to be looking at a dead thing that belonged to her. .
This feeling was undoubtedly very uncomfortable, which made him frown slightly, and his eyes once again fell on the doll that was exactly the same as his in the other person's hand.
Throughout the whole day, all the players were working hard to improve the favorability of NPCs on the same floor.
If nothing else, Xiang Xianwan on the 13th floor should have had a lot of contact with Gloria. In other words, she has the highest favorability value of Gloria.
So what the current situation means is that Gloria just made an identical doll, or will she turn Xiang Xianwan into a real doll that only belongs to her?
But no matter what it is, it always feels like a very unpleasant feeling that human beings are coveted like this...
Just like those alien species that should not appear in their world.
Gloria was obviously getting impatient with Chi Ting's sudden and long silence. She was about to say something, but was completely stunned when she raised her eyes to meet the other person's gaze.
Although it still looked like a kind smile, there was almost no warmth captured in such a smile. When Gloria subconsciously wanted to retreat, such an instinctive avoidance movement was controlled by the force of traction. In one second, she was pulled two steps forward with the force of her jaw.
Chi Ting just pinched Gloria's chin and moved it forward, and the two of them got closer in an instant.
He looked directly into the girl's eyes and said in a calm tone: "Sorry, I still can't help this time. Although I don't know how the adults in your family educate you, but I think it is necessary for children to learn a lesson. The truth is..."
When Gloria was distracted, she felt that her hand was empty. When she looked again, the doll in her hand had fallen into the other person's hand.
The identical attire makes the picture of Doll and Chi Zing in the same frame seem somewhat strange.
Then the next second, Gloria's expression completely cracked simultaneously with a "click".
The "Chi Ting Doll" fell apart into messy parts under such an understatement of force, but the man who was the initiator still looked at her with a smile and took the next words in a leisurely manner: "...Don't try to cheat. If you ask for something that does not belong to you, a misbehaving child will not always be indulged by adults."
The last tone fell past my ears. It was clear that there was no tough attitude, but it smoothly sent a clear chill down people's backs: "So, do you understand?"
Gloria: "..."
She has lived in a loving apartment all year round and has always been used to other people being frightened when they face her. She has never been treated like this when she is nakedly threatened.
After shrinking subconsciously, although she tried her best to hold it back out of stubbornness, the tears that vaguely flowed from the corners of Gloria's eyes were still clearly captured in the live broadcast.
The ellipsis that fills the screen is the most realistic psychological portrayal of all the viewers in the live broadcast room.
After a while, the barrage exploded completely.
Alas no, is there something wrong with this development?
What's going on with this sense of déjà vu of this big bad guy coming at you to bully an innocent little girl?
Which one of you is more dangerous? !
Chi Ting didn't seem to think that he had gotten the script wrong. He threw the doll that had been split into a bunch of parts back on the sofa in his living room. He squinted his eyes, put his hands casually in his trouser pockets, and looked at it with a smile. To the obviously confused girl in front of him: "So, is there anything else you need my help with tonight?"
Gloria had held back all the tears in her eyes, and she had obviously reacted. She looked straight at Chi Ting, her wide-open eyes already clearly scarlet.
However, besides glaring at Chi Ting angrily, she obviously couldn't do anything.
Chi Zhidao noticed that the other person's favorability level jumped sharply [-50]. He looked at the favorability bar that changed from white to orange and slowly raised his eyebrows.
He never missed Gloria's every move, and after confirming that the other party had no intention of attacking, he finally let go of the strange stone on the collar.
Everything now proves that his speculation is correct.
Although Chi Ting didn't know why Gloria came to him, since rules are the most important thing in this dungeon world, it meant that as long as he didn't obviously violate the rules of the game, Gloria, as an NPC, had nothing to do with him. Method.
——zai,sheng,qi,ye,no,can,yi,oh.
It can only be said that the curve at the corner of Chi Zing's mouth was too obvious at that moment. The moment she felt a clearer provocation, Gloria's expression suddenly looked more ferocious and crazy.
[...I feel like the NPC is going to explode. 】
[You are right, I even had a burst of anger in Vision just now that exploded a mushroom cloud above Gloria's head. 】
[Who would have thought that one day I would have affection for an NPC. 】
[But how does this newcomer know that it is still in the safe period? 】
[No matter how he knows, are you really not worried about that person at all? Look at this time...]
[Fuck, it’s true! This newcomer is still there with ink marks. Go back quickly! ! ! 】
Naturally, the content of the barrage cannot be seen in the copy, but to the delight of the audience and players, Chi Ting obviously has no intention of continuing to play with Gloria. After confirming the news he wants, he prepares without interest. Go back to the house.
However, at this moment, the sound of the elevator running suddenly spread throughout the empty space.
Chi Zhidao noticed that Gloria's angry expression turned into a look of bleak panic in an instant. He raised his eyes in confusion. What fell into his field of vision were the numbers that continued to beat one after another, which looked extremely strange under the dim light.
1, 2, 3…
6,7...9,10...
Although he couldn't see the [Run] that filled the screen in the live broadcast room, his keen intuition made Chi Ting take a step back calmly, with one hand already on the door. His eyes were always on the door during the whole process. The direction of the elevator entrance——
As long as he senses any danger, he will not hesitate to shut Gloria out and retreat to the apartment.
