Love Apartment (16)
/Text: Green Plum Sauce
The expression on Li Hou's face was gradually becoming stiff, and he could clearly feel the cold sweat seeping down his back.
Unknowingly, the entire shirt was completely stuck to his back, and there was an unbearable sticky feeling.
Although he didn't dare to move his eyes, his peripheral vision had already noticed the shadow spreading unknowingly on the soles of his feet.
He was almost fully prepared to get up and run as soon as he noticed that the momentum was not right.
In fact, no one who has watched the previous live broadcasts of this dungeon will be unfamiliar with the NPC Moon Blade.
But Li Hou's situation is somewhat different from other ordinary viewers.
Li Hou's personal skill is [Death Experience], that is, by reading the death videos of friends in the list, he can immerse himself in the main perspective.
Experiencing death over and over again is undoubtedly an absolute drain on the spirit, but at the same time, you can also use the perspective of the deceased to discover the clues and details that have been ignored in the copy.
Using means to obtain death videos and climbing up by stepping on other people's corpses has always been Li Hou's way of survival in this infinite game.
Before he entered the copy of "Love Apartment", the NPC called Moon Blade was in front of him in the video he read.
The fear and despair brought about by [Death Experience] are absolutely real. Naturally, Li Hou knows the danger of the Moon Blade better than anyone else. It was precisely because of his knowledge that he felt even more incomprehensible that those idiots Chi Zing let this person into the house so unscrupulously.
But when it comes to stupidity, Ma Zizuo is really stupid. Even if he has an idea to clear the level, he still has to know how to pick the weak persimmons. If he has to provoke this murderer, he deserves to end up like this...
"If you don't know me, then do you know Ma Zizhuo?"
"Ah?" There was a moment of trance that made Li Hou almost think that someone had read through his mind. Fortunately, as soon as he raised his head and met those smiling eyes, his reason controlled his subconscious and wanted to grab the door. ideas
Finally, he twitched the corners of his mouth dryly and tried to show a puzzled expression: "Who is Ma Zizuo?"
Yue Ren looked straight at him, and after a long time he sighed with regret: "Nothing, I just feel that you have an aura that is very similar to his. Just ask."
He only felt a string of electric current rush directly to him. Li Hou seemed to be still sitting there, but in fact every cell in his body had been completely frozen.
Of course Li Hou knew what the so-called similar aura meant. Ma Zizuo died and joined his team. People in the same team would influence each other to some extent, not to mention that he had been in Ma Zizuo's death video.
But at this moment, his faintly shaking pupils were filled with another kind of shock - how could this Moon Blade remember Ma Zizuo's name? !
At the same time, this seemingly casual conversation was like a bombshell, causing a stir in Li Hou's live broadcast room.
[This name...impossible, how could he remember it? 】
[So who is Ma Zizhuo? 】
[I seem to know that this dungeon has been grouped ten times, and there was a player named Ma Zizhuo in the third group annihilation. 】
[Yes, yes, I followed that live broadcast, and this person persisted until the end. At that time, he still had a record of 40%. 】
[At that time, I thought it was a pity. You said it was not easy for him to provoke the Moon Blade, otherwise he might have already cleared the level. 】
[I discussed with my friends later and suspected that Ma Zizuo had actually found a way to clear the level, so he suddenly made such a crazy move. 】
[What crazy move? 】
[He... used his own personal skills to sneak attack the moon blade, a total of twenty times! 】
【hiss--! I remembered, it was him! That time, Moon Blade went berserk and even all the other NPCs in the building were slaughtered. 】
[Absolutely, who can bear this? I will remember him forever if he cuts me like this! How much does it hurt? 】
…
[But, won’t the instance be restarted every time a group starts? This is already the third group event, how could the NPC still remember his name? 】
The lively discussion in the live broadcast room suddenly paused for a moment when someone prompted a key message.
Even though they were outside the dungeon, everyone still felt a chill running through their bodies.
In this infinite world, any player who has played the game a few times will know that the copy will be reset.
No matter how much progress the players who started the previous group made, the group was destroyed and the level was successfully cleared. When a new batch of players enter again, everything, including NPCs, will return to its original state.
For NPC, memory itself is a reincarnation, and the length is limited to the running time of the copy.
And why does this Moon Blade remember Ma Zizhuo, a name that should not exist in his memory?
It's scary to think about it.
For a while, no one dared to think about it further.
But the fact that the audience in the live broadcast room avoids thinking does not mean that Li Hou can stop thinking about it.
Whether he wanted to or not, he knew very well that he had been targeted by this NPC named Moon Blade.
He had completely experienced Ma Zizhuo's painful survival process, and naturally knew what Ma Zizhuo was thinking at that time.
In fact, if he had been replaced by any other NPC or player, he might have successfully passed the level. But what was very unlucky was that the one he bumped into was the moon blade.
Yes, there is no technical content, just pure bad luck.
But Li Hou believed that he would be at least luckier than Ma Zizuo, because he was very pleased to find that this Moon Blade did not seem to doubt what he said and let him go temporarily.
And as long as tonight is over, he will definitely stay away from this dangerous guy.
What Li Hou didn't notice was the residual light remaining on him the moment the man looked away.
If he could possess Li Tao's personal skills, he would have discovered that at this time, his whole body was completely enveloped in cold and dense darkness, like a suffocating net, with no way to escape.
Compared with the extremely depressing atmosphere here, the three people huddled together in the corner looked here and there, but they relaxed a little bit.
Especially Li Tao.
At first, he was afraid of the moon blade mainly because of the overly strong sense of depression.
But with the gradual contact, he discovered that this person was just exuding malice towards everyone indiscriminately, and was not just targeting him alone. Over time, he became a little relieved because of his excessive numbness.
It was probably the idea of "If you want to die, everyone will die together anyway" that supported him. After waiting for Chi Ting to bring the food to the table, he gathered around the table to eat. Li Tao even ate the Bear Heart Leopard and dared to whisper. He muttered: "Every time there are so many people eating, there must be almost not enough food, right?"
Chi Ting didn't know what he meant, and then replied: "You have brought a lot of them, and you can eat them for a while."
Xiang Xianwan felt sorry for Li Tao's frantic kicking of her under the table, and whispered, "Well, as long as everyone brings their own share, it really shouldn't be a big problem."
Speaking of which, the meaning is actually very obvious.
Everyone sitting here was a player, and there was only one who just ate and drank without bringing anything.
Although everyone is afraid of him, starvation is one of the various ways to die. As the saying goes, people die for wealth and birds die for food. Even though you know that it is most likely useless, you still have to try it a little bit. What if the conscience of the NPC brother finds out?
But it turns out that there is obviously no such thing as conscience in Moon Blade.
The sight of people around him didn't seem to exist to him. After finishing one bowl, he took another bowl, and finally put down his chopsticks slowly: "I'm full, so I'll go back first, so please take your time. , see you all tomorrow.”
As he walked to the door and changed his shoes in a hurry, he seemed to have remembered something at this time: "Oh, by the way, the food prepared by the property management for us has always been very abundant. In this regard, there is no need to worry too much." Too worried."
Everyone's eyes followed his back, and they exchanged glances with each other until the door closed again.
Gong Jing: "What does he mean?"
Xiang Xianwan shook her head: "...I don't know."
As if to clear up their doubts, at this moment, everyone's mobile phones suddenly vibrated together.
Someone in the owner group liked everyone. When I opened it, I found that it was a collective message sent by Love Property.
[Love Property: @all staff, good news, good news, the new owner election is about to begin. All owners with permanent residence rights are requested to actively participate!
After verification, 8 owners have given up their candidacy. We hope that the remaining owners can hold on to their precious qualifications to compete for the last 24 owner seats at the last minute.
We are a caring property company that serves everyone. We are looking forward to your excellent performance. Thank you very much! ]
Everyone looked straight at their phones and suddenly lost their appetite for food.
In the silence, Li Tao tried his best to lower his lips: "The so-called permanent residency...isn't that what I think it means?"
Li Hou glanced at him: "That's what it means literally. In the last two days, if we still can't find a way to get out, we will probably be left here forever. So, no matter what, You have to get downstairs as soon as possible if you want to live.”
The surroundings fell silent again.
It was also at this time that they finally knew what Yue Ren meant when he said the food was abundant.
Indeed, if they only had the last two days, it would be enough for them to eat and drink endlessly every day.
Li Tao noticed that Chi Ting was still looking at his phone and said nothing. "Brother Chi, what's wrong? Is there any problem with the property news?"
Chi Ting shook his head: "There's nothing wrong with the message. I was just thinking about the content."
As he spoke, he handed the phone interface to the others and pointed: "Look at these numbers."
Everyone immediately gathered around, still confused: "Is there anything wrong with these numbers?"
There were also many viewers in Chi Ting's live broadcast room who jumped over from Li Hou. They were still discussing the moon blade, but suddenly they heard him mention it and their attention was attracted.
Yes, are there any important clues in these numbers?
Everyone was looking forward to it, waiting for Chi Ting's patient explanation. The next second, the audience in the live broadcast room saw a message box pop up from the interface.
[Note: It is detected that the player pool has stopped and the number of online viewers has reached 20,000. This live broadcast room will soon be converted to a paid viewing mode. 】
[Current charging standard: 2 points/minute. 】
[The paid viewing mode is about to start, countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7...]
The audience who had just taken out their notebooks in front of the screen:...?
How could someone reach the charging standard without paying attention to the number of people? Where did this newcomer attract so many people's attention? !
