Today I am an NPC in an escape game

Chapter 18 Magic Mirror 17
"Heh—" Gu Yanqing chuckled, "I've always been used to being alone, and I don't like to marry others."

Zhang Quan's eyes froze, "Then I won't be polite!" He shouted, while clenching his fists and rushing towards Gu Yanqing.

Gu Yanqing tilted her head and dodged easily, turned around and kicked Zhang Quan on the buttocks. He was kicked unsteadily and fell directly onto the rockery.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, the force is a bit heavier." Gu Yanqing smiled slightly, as if she was really shy and embarrassed.

Ren Qing was stunned for a moment, then sat on the ground dumbfounded, neither running nor hiding.

Gu Yanqing walked over and bent down slowly.

The beauty slowly approached and enlarged, Ren Qing's eyes widened, he was fascinated by it, his cheeks were slightly red, seeing him bent over, Ren Qing said shyly, "You—"

In the next second, Gu Yanqing took back the dagger stuck on the wooden stick, blinked his right eye at Ren Qing, and said with a smile, "Are you still running?"

It was only then that Ren Qing remembered the predicament he was in, and hurriedly said, "Oh, thank you."

Ren Qing couldn't care less, got up and ran towards the way he had just come.

Seeing this, Zhang Quan wanted to chase after him. A cold knife light rushed straight in front of him, and in the next second, Zhang Quan's high bun was inserted into the rockery.

Zhang Quan: "..."

"What on earth do you want to do!"

Gu Yanqing was not in a hurry, very leisurely, and said three words lightly, "You are in a hurry."

"..."

"The escape game is not for you to kill people." Gu Yanqing paused, then added, "At least this game is not."

Zhang Quan's teeth were itching and he was gnashing his teeth, "The game has said that as long as the number of players in the game reaches a certain number, you can pass the level. Doesn't this mean I'm asking to kill people?!"

At the end of the sentence, he even yelled.

"But there is one more condition ahead, just find the condition to clear the customs, this..." Gu Yanqing seemed a little puzzled, he asked, "Isn't it very simple?"

Zhang Quan: "..."

He doesn't want to talk to this man anymore.

Gu Yanqing saw that the time was almost up, so he took a few steps forward and drew his knife, "If you have to rely on killing people to pass the level, it's not impossible. If you get killed instead, don't regret it."

In the end, Gu Yanqing gave him a bewildered smile, tilted his head, and left with a slow pace as if wandering around.

The faint fragrance in the air also slowly disappeared.

Zhang Quan lowered his eyes and clenched his fists suddenly. The aroma he smelled outside the eldest lady's door not long ago was exactly the same as that of that person. In other words, this person had been staying outside the eldest lady's door just now and eavesdropped!

Ren Qing ran for an indeterminate amount of time, and when she was out of the back garden, she dared to stop to catch her breath, leaning against the wall and looking back from time to time.

"Scared me, scared me!"

At this time, her mouth was dry and her stomach was still croaking. She hadn't eaten a single bite since morning, and now she couldn't bear it anymore.

So Ren Qing decided to sneak a look in the kitchen on the way back to the dormitory, maybe he could get something to eat.

But Ren Qing didn't go to the kitchen, so he found something to eat.

There is a plate of pastries on a stone table in the deserted gazebo.

There are five pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, arranged neatly.

Ren Qing remembered that Jiujiu loved desserts the most.

When Ren Qing's hand touched the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, a mechanical voice suddenly appeared in her mind: [Player Ren Qing, get a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus pastry. 】

Ren Qing: "...system, you mean this pastry is edible?"

For a long time, no sound responded to her.

Ren Qing held the plate and looked left and right. The surrounding area was very quiet, and he didn't even see a single insect shadow.

Maybe it's a reward from the game?
Ren Qing stared at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand, swallowed, and finally couldn't help it, picked up a piece, and bit off half of it with his mouth open.

The sweet-scented osmanthus cake is delicate and smooth, the sweetness is just right, and the taste is very good!
After killing two pieces in one go, Ren Qing stopped.

She wants to leave three yuan for Jiujiu.

When Ren Qing passed the kitchen with the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, she saw a person who was busy working inside, and she looked familiar. It was the woman who came to provoke her yesterday.

"It turns out that her task is to cook, how simple it is."

After muttering a few words, Ren Qing ran away without concern for himself.

As soon as Ren Qing opened the door, she didn't see Su Tao's figure, so she put down the plate she was protecting in her arms, and after drinking a large glass of water, she lay down on the bed and closed her eyes to rest.

As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind, as long as she can't see the plate of pastries, then she won't eat them!

Su Tao hung up the red silk, and was not in a hurry to go back, but went to the place where she saw the male NPC last night.

A frog jumped into the pond, landed firmly on a lotus leaf in one of the ponds, and made a few calls. There was a house next to it, the door of which was closed tightly, and it was very quiet.

Su Tao looked and observed in the corridor for a long time, and found that there was no one around, so she walked over vigilantly, put her ear on the door frame and listened, and after making sure that the lady was not there, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.

No one in the room answered.

Instead, an alarm sounded in my mind, [Warning, warning, what player Su Tao did is not in line with NPC behavior, please stop it in time! 】

Su Tao lowered her eyes, without any fluctuations in her face, she got up and pushed the door open.

Zero Zero One: […]

Is his majesty so worthless?
The people in the room were looking at themselves in the mirror in a daze, when they heard the sound of the door opening, he turned his head and looked over in surprise.

is a stranger.

But it's true, except for Zhang Mingyi, everyone is a stranger to him now.

The man wasn't afraid at all, he was a little curious, he stood up politely, smiled slightly, "You are?"

"The servant girl in the house," Su Tao quickly glanced around the room, her eyes stayed on one place, and said again: "Mrs. Yiyi asked me to come."

"Yiyi?"

There was a light in the man's eyes in an instant, and the polite smile just now gradually deepened and widened, "Did she come to find me?"

Su Tao nodded slightly, "However, Madam said, in case you forget her, you need to write down her boudoir name."

"Okay, okay, as long as it's her, I'm willing to do anything."

The man happily searched for a piece of paper in the room and handed it to Su Tao. He said, "I think about her every day. Every time I think of her, I will write her name on the paper. I am very happy." Love her, love her very much!"

His fingertips trembled slightly, his expression almost crazy.

Su Tao took the paper and saw the word "Yi" densely packed on it.

It turned out to be Yiyi.

Su Tao thought for a moment, then took out the scissors from the hidden pocket, "Do you remember this?"

The gold threads are densely entangled, and the broken diamonds are shining in the sun, which is very beautiful.

"Yiyi, Yiyi..." The man's eyes froze for a moment, and big and big tears rolled down his pale face. He seemed to be afraid of something, his eyes were wide open, and he kept stepping back, covering his head, and his mouth was not moving. Stopped shouting: "I didn't do it, it wasn't me, it wasn't me..."

Such a big commotion might attract other people.

"You—" Su Tao hesitated to speak, and finally glanced at the copper and wooden mirror by the window, turned around and left.

The sound of footsteps coming from outside the door gradually approached, Ren Qing got up from the bed, picked up the broom beside him, and was ready for battle.

"Qingqing."

A familiar voice came from outside the door, soft, as if carrying some irresistible force.

The big stone in Ren Qing's heart finally let go, she let go of her hand, and rushed straight to the door.

As soon as Su Tao opened the door, a warm embrace greeted her. The two of them hugged each other tightly. Ren Qing hugged her tightly, as if she had found a backbone. The fear in her heart was gone, replaced by full of grievances and Terrified, she had a sore nose and tears fell down her cheeks.

"Jiujiu, you scared me to death. I thought I almost couldn't see you just now."

Su Tao's expression sank in an instant, but she still patted Ren Qing's back lightly, and comforted her softly: "It's okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I will always be by your side from now on, and I won't leave .”

Ren Qing looked at Su Tao, his eyes were red and affectionate, "That guy looks like he just killed players to pass the level, you have to be careful with wine. But..." Ren Qing thought for a while, "That guy is called, called Yan Qing's boy saved me, he's amazing!"

Speaking of her savior, Ren Qing was radiant and shy like a little daughter-in-law, "And looking at him up close, he seems even more handsome!"

Just as Su Tao was about to speak, she heard Ren Qing's next sentence - "I think he and Jiujiu are very suitable for you!"

If the two of them were together, Ren Qing felt that he would have two backers!

"Cough, cough, cough..." Su Tao's words stuck in her throat, coughed a few times, she blinked a few times, a little helpless, "If you talk to him a few more words, you will understand why some people Will love the mute beauty even more."

Su Tao took Ren Qing's hand into the room, and closed the door behind him.

"What do you mean?" Ren Qing didn't quite understand, what does this have to do with the dumb beauty?
But in the next second, after Ren Qing saw the cakes on the table, she forgot all these questions, and ran over to hold the plate as if offering a treasure, her eyes were earnest, "Jijiu, try this, it's very good eat!"

Su Tao saw the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the plate, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She picked up a piece of cake trustingly. At the same time, a mechanical voice sounded in her mind——

[Player Su Tao, get a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus pastry. 】

Su Tao froze for a moment, then asked the system: "Eat?"

Ling Lingyi replied: [Yes, after each mission, a gift will appear randomly. 】

Su Tao snorted, and took a bite of the pastry in his hand. It tasted surprisingly good. The corners of Su Tao's mouth curled up slightly, his eyes curved, and he liked it very much.

"It's delicious, try it." Su Tao pushed the plate towards Ren Qing.

Ren Qing carefully swallowed his saliva, pushed the plate away, picked up the tea cup on the table, took a big sip, and pretended to rub his stomach, "No, I just ate three or four pieces, and now I'm a little tired." I’m done.”

Su Tao glanced at her, "Really?"

Ren Qing nodded, simply said, "Really!"

"Okay then, I'll eat alone."

As soon as Su Tao finished eating a piece, Ling Lingyi opened his mouth after deliberation.

[Player Su Tao, can we discuss something? 】

"Say it."

Su Tao is in a good mood now.

[That is, next time I violate the rules, I remind you, can you restrain yourself? 】

Su Tao said calmly, "I've always done my own thing, besides, if I violated the rules, you can punish me in the dark room. I'm not afraid of that."

Zero Zero One: […]

Just rely on his soft heart!

You see, try another system!
