Global recovery: A century of being stuck in the game

It only took a few tens of seconds to take the elevator from the 18th floor to the first floor, but it cost the lives of Luo Rui and another man.

Li Xia was in a bad mood, but things had come to this point and he was powerless to change it, so he could only accept reality.

The most urgent task is to inform the superiors of Miss Tao's reminder and the information she revealed.

After leaving the building with the two bodies, they were still surrounded by a large number of people outside. Captain Qu walked back and forth in the encirclement and couldn't stop at all.

It had been more than half a day since Taoyao and the others entered the building, and it was almost dark, but they still hadn't come out.

He was really worried that something might happen to the two of them.

When Li Xia came out, Captain Qu noticed her at the first moment. His face lit up with joy and he hurried forward.

When Captain Qu saw the two bodies he was carrying and dragging, his face suddenly turned ugly. When he was about to ask someone to take the bodies back, he discovered something.

There is no one else behind Li Xia!

Realizing this, he felt his head "boom" for a moment, almost dazed, and asked unconsciously: "Where is Miss Tao?"

He didn't dare report Tao Yao's entry into Sunshine Building.

One reason is that the incident has already happened and reporting it will not change anything. The other reason is that as a member of the Special Operations Bureau, they have a very high degree of trust in Tao Yao.

Besides, Taoyao is not a fool, she won’t go and die.

Therefore, although he was very worried and anxious in his heart, he still waited quietly for the two to come out.

But who would have thought that Li Xia came out, but Tao Yao disappeared!

Li Xia also knew how worried he was, and quickly explained: "Miss Tao has entered the game, and the matter here has been resolved by her, so it can be unblocked."

The matter that had been giving the Special Operations Bureau a headache for several days was solved so easily, and the person involved was even playing games as if nothing had happened.

Although he was shocked, Li Xia's words did make him feel relieved: "Next time, we must not let Miss Tao take this risk again."

Li Xia agreed: "This is natural."

"Miss Tao told me a lot about ghosts before she left. I have to go meet with the police station."

Captain Qu nodded: "Go ahead, leave the rest to me."

As he said this, he waved his hand behind him and asked someone to take the body away.

Li Xia drove away.

That night, all the companies in the building received a notice that there was nothing wrong inside, but a serial killer was causing chaos. Now that the killer had been brought to justice, they could go back to work.

This is just rhetoric.

You can't tell people that there is a ghost killing people, right?

That would be a mess!

Time passed day by day, and after this incident, Haicheng was quiet for a while.

It was on this day that another major event suddenly happened.

At daybreak, people began to disappear across the country.

This matter is very familiar, exactly the same as when the game was publicly tested half a month ago!

They immediately calculated the number of people who had disappeared. In addition to those players who had entered the game before, nearly nine hundred people had disappeared.

Dark and eerie.

A large group of people huddled together, and many were in a state of panic.

Are they now in the Lingyou Tower...?

Taoyao was in the crowd and took a quick look.

The total number is currently one thousand.

Compared with the previous public beta, it is only one-tenth.

She can currently confirm that Lingyou Tower holds a game once every half a month.

As for the number of people, maybe they were just randomly pulled in and have no special meaning, or maybe they are quite special.

But these are not certain.

In any case, this place is still too abnormal for newcomers who are entering the game for the first time.

However, as there were more and more descriptions of Lingyou Tower on the forum during this period, they were still able to remain calm.

"Should we take the bus now?" someone in the crowd asked cautiously.

So someone answered: "Look around, everyone has a ticket, just take the train number and seat you want and you will reach your destination safely."

For many people, this is like a sedative.

They all began to search for the ticket in their pockets.

Then they followed one by one and moved forward.

Compared to before, the discipline is much higher.

Tao Yao took a look and just as he took out his ticket, a voice rang in his ear: "Boss! We are on the same train!"

The man's voice was deliberately lowered so as not to attract the attention of others around him, but it still made Tao Yao frown.

The destination on the ticket in her hand was clearly written with four words: Happy Inn.

The four bright red words looked as if they were still dripping with blood.

"Boss?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, the Ghost Emperor was a little surprised.

While they were talking, the Great Emperor came over from not far away, looked at the tickets in their hands, and said with some joy: "I am also from the Happy Inn!"

It was this sound that made Tao Yao turn her head to look at them. Her brows relaxed and she smiled: "You are too happy too early."

Then he walked away.

The Ghost Emperor and the Great Emperor were a little confused, but they followed happily anyway.

There were only eight people on the same train with them.

At least this isn't a massive cannibalistic dungeon.

And judging from the name, it should be a more sunny copy?

Some people thought so in their hearts.

However, because of the voice prompts on the train and reminders from players in the forum, even though the three new players had a lot to say, they suppressed their curiosity and remained silent.

There was no conversation along the way and the train soon stopped.

After getting off the car, everyone dared to speak: "That car looks normal, but I still feel it's a little weird..."

The person who spoke was a girl with two ponytails, who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a bit of baby fat, and it was obvious that she was a young girl who was not very worldly-wise.

"Of course it's not normal. If you sit in the wrong position, you will die."

The person who answered the question was a woman with short hair and a small suit, and her expression was very serious.

"Yes, and he will die miserably."

"Ah? Brothers and sisters, I'm a novice and I don't know anything. You must help me..."

"Don't worry, we are all in this together and we must help each other."

While a few people were chatting, Tao Yao was looking at the situation nearby.

On the surface, this was a desolate wilderness. The weeds not far away were quite thick, and then there was the familiar white fog, making it impossible for them to see what the scene was like behind the fog.

In addition, in front of them was a quaint inn. Two big red lanterns were hung under the gate in front of the courtyard, bringing a ray of light into the silent and moonless night.

On the plaque are four big characters "Happy Inn".

When the wind blew, the two lanterns swayed gently, and the candles inside flickered.

If there weren't so many people here, this scene alone would be enough to scare people away.

The Ghost Emperor and the Great Emperor were always paying attention to what was happening on Taoyao's side and did not join in the conversation.

Just when he was about to say something, a woman in red suddenly came out: "Damn it! Why don't you come in? The guests are about to arrive!"

From these few words, it can be confirmed that these people came to the inn to help, and are not guests.

This beautiful and bright woman is the proprietress here.

When the others were at a loss, the Ghost Emperor took a step forward and said, "We'll be right there."

Then he winked at the others and followed first.

This is what is bound to happen.

The quest cannot be triggered without entering the inn, which means they are likely to stay here forever.

The Ghost Emperor has been resting at home these days and has not gone to the mainland to carry out any missions, so his condition today is surprisingly good.

Apart from Taoyao, his mental state is acceptable.

Having made the decision a few days ago, he certainly couldn't let it go to waste.

It just so happens that the boss is here this time, so he has to hold on to his thigh as tightly as possible.

After the eight people entered the courtyard, the game prompts appeared as expected.

[You have entered the copy - Happy Inn.

This is an inn where people can feel happy. As a member of the inn, will you bring happiness to the guests?

Please survive in the inn for three days. 】

The mission is simple, just survive for three days.

This made several people breathe a sigh of relief.

It's a survival mission!

As long as we don't let them kill each other, this task is relatively simple.

Their relaxed expressions made Tao Yao feel a little helpless.

If they think like that, they will die.

After all, she had been to this Happy Inn before.

At the same time, she is also in the most dangerous and difficult copy on the first floor of Lingyou Tower. If she is not careful, she will lose her life!

Her life was on the line many times before, and she was almost trapped in the first floor of Lingyou Tower by this copy.

Entering the courtyard, I saw a two-story building in front of me. The lights inside were flickering and could be seen from far away.

She whispered a reminder: "Don't be careless, be careful after you go in."

That's all she could do, nothing more.

If these people can't stand up on their own, she would never do anything against the rules of the game, and she would not use her points to redeem items in the system mall to save people for their lives.

Points are her trump card. The lives of a few people are not worth her using. She will only use them unless it affects many ordinary people or when she wants to.

Her words were a bit incoherent, but we were all smart people and knew this was not an ordinary place and we had to be extra careful.

And her reminder will make everyone take it more seriously.

The girl with the ponytail couldn't help but ask, "Sister, did you find anything?"

Her words made everyone look over.

Tao Yao shook her head without hesitation: "No, it's just a matter of experience."

As she finished her words, she had already entered the inn.

There were quite a few tables and chairs in the lobby, but it was in a mess, with a lot of garbage on the ground, and the entire inn was dirty.

How does this have anything to do with the words "Happy Inn"?

Several people gasped at this.

The woman in red in front also turned around at the right time: "What you have to do is to meet the needs of the guests. If you fail to do so, you will pay the price~"

After saying that, she waved her hand, smiled, and walked away, twisting her slender waist.

She was beautiful, but no one, unless they were a fool, would care about that at this point.

Because the inn is too messy and guests are about to arrive, they have to clean it up quickly, otherwise it will be the end of them.

Thinking of this, the girl with twin ponytails and the woman with short hair in a small suit were the first to take action.

There are eight people, only three of them are women, and the rest are men.

It can be seen from their actions that there are three new players.

The rest are people who have gone through the copy at least once.

The three men were two fat and one thin.

In this era, there are indeed more fat people.

And judging from their actions, they are quite lazy.

At least when it comes to cleaning, they don't seem as skilled as the two women, and they still complain that the place is too dirty.

The Ghost Emperor brought a clean stool and placed it in front of Tao Yao: "Boss, please sit down and let us clean up!"

After saying that, he also joined the cleaning team.

The emperor was a step late and could only follow reluctantly.

You know what, Tao Yao really just sat on the stool and watched them busy.

Soon, someone noticed that she was sitting here and slacking off.

The fat man in the flowered shirt pointed at Tao Yao in annoyance: "Hey! Can't you see we are all very busy? Why don't you come to help at this time? What do you want to do?!"

Except for the Ghost Emperor and the Great Emperor, the other five people were very dissatisfied with her behavior.

"Aren't you afraid that the boss lady will come and trouble you if you are lazy anywhere?"

"We are all in the same team now. Wouldn't it be bad if you didn't work?"

"Damn it, I've never seen someone as confused as you!"

"In my opinion, this kind of person came here just to die. He didn't even know where this place is. Do he really think he is some kind of lady?"

They said something very unpleasant, and before Tao Yao could do anything, the Ghost Emperor got angry first: "All of you shut up!"

The Emperor also said: "I will return these words to you intactly. I think you are the ones who really don't know how you died!"

Those people didn't expect that someone would stand up and speak for Tao Yao. They were stunned for a moment, but soon became even angrier.

"Are you two crazy? Just because she's pretty, are you sure..."

Before she could finish her words, the woman in the suit slammed the table heavily with a "bang"!

"Do you all want to be lazy and die together? If you don't clean this place before the customers come, we'll all be finished!"

Her words were well-reasoned and made the men's faces turn pale and blue. Although they were still dissatisfied with Tao Yao, they sped up the cleaning process for the sake of their own lives.

The scene became quiet, and the woman in the suit glanced at Tao Yao with disdain in her eyes.

Tao Yao said she could understand this, after all, she did look like the bad apple that spoiled the whole barrel.

But unfortunately, they will soon find out that they are very wrong.

Because this is not an ordinary game at all.

She sat for a while, and when she saw that everyone had almost finished cleaning, she stood up and walked to the counter.

Then she picked up a piece of paper, and when she turned around, the girl with twin ponytails happened to look at her. Their eyes met, and the girl subconsciously wanted to look away, but saw Tao Yao waving at her.
