This NPC really has a problem

On this day, Lu Ren and Bai Zhu never saw anyone who might be Suo again.

The elusive girl who appears from nowhere from time to time is nowhere to be found at this time, and she doesn't know if she will appear before Bai Zhu "go find her in danger" as she said.

And when they returned to their residence, they saw a young man squatting at the door of Lu Ren's house waiting for them to come back. He looked as pitiful as a big dog abandoned by its owner.The young man almost complained to them with tears in his eyes, and then returned to the upstairs home under Lu Ren's comfort.

Before leaving, the young man also casually said that the twilight clock was striking a bit late today, maybe it was his illusion.

In fact, on the way back, Lu Ren also heard other people's discussions about the evening bell, and some even took out their pocket watches and swore that today's evening bell was really late.This was something that had never happened before, and it inevitably became a gossip among the townspeople after dinner.

This was not a good thing for Lu Ren. The more people knew about it, the more eyes would fall on the bell ringer.

But that was something he had to think about when he went to find the bell ringer.

Bai Zhu went to the table and fumbled to find the candlestick, plugged in a newly bought candle and lit it.He bought the candle when he came back, so he didn't have to spend the night with that little light like last night.

Not long after he lit the candles, Lu Ren made the bed a few times. Under the candlelight, his eyes glowed with gentle warmth.

Bai Zhu hugged him from behind and rubbed against his neck, then took off his coat and climbed onto the bed.There is no way, the house is too small, two people can hardly turn away while standing, so they have to go to bed early to chat.

Even because of the extremely small size of the bed, they had to be next to each other, but this was something Bai Zhu could only wish for.

There was no suitable place to put the coat, so Bai Zhu put it on the quilt, but the things in the coat pockets slipped out because of this.

Six keys that were actually quite heavy in his pocket, and a mobile phone——Bai Zhu was stunned when he saw the mobile phone.

The phone screen lights up.

Before he could react, Lu Ren picked up the phone and handed it to him: "It should be Xu Yan and the others."

Lu Ren knew that this was a tool used by the players for remote communication in the game, and it was because they were not used to this antique, so they hardly used it.

Lu Ren recalled the few times he saw Bai Zhu using his mobile phone - almost all for lighting.

As soon as Bai Zhu unlocked the lock screen, more than a dozen messages popped up at once. After looking at the names of the senders, they all came from Zhong Changya.

The earliest message came from half an hour ago, and it was sent every few minutes, and several messages were sent at a time.Bai Zhu dragged the news to the beginning, and Zhong Changya's tone was a little leisurely at first.

——Almost forgot that there is such a thing as a mobile phone, Xu Yan and Chen Jin and I have discussed for a long time how to convey the news to you.

——I just came out of the restaurant after dinner. I was in the reception room of the city lord before. I felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.

——The city lord said that these days are quite special. Yesterday was the mid-month ceremony, and the Holy See will have activities today and tomorrow. In short, it is not convenient to open the city gate to let us go out. Let us stay in the city lord's mansion for a while and let us go on Monday. let's go out.

——The city owner is a middle-aged man who looks about 50 or [-] years old. He is kind and dignified. I think it is quite normal just by looking.

——Now we haven't encountered any danger, eat and drink well.The maid of the city lord's mansion told us that except for special days like the mid-month festival, generally the city residents will not leave home after the evening bell rings. Although we are outside the city, it is better to stay in our rooms.

— Are these words familiar?It's exactly the same as what the priest said in the previous dungeon. Coincidentally, the evening bell also strikes at eight o'clock.

The evening bell hadn't struck yet, Bai Zhu glanced at the time displayed on the upper right corner of the phone, and it was 15 o'clock in [-] minutes.

They had eaten at a roadside restaurant and bought candles when they came back, and it was obvious that a lot of time had been spent.

Bai Zhu continued to look down, and moved the phone towards Lu Ren so that he could see it more clearly.

—Going back to the room.Xu Yan and Chen Jin live in the same room, but I live upstairs from them, and the straight-line distance is still a bit far away, which is quite troublesome.

——I discussed it with Xu Yan and the others. The possibility of my location being cold is a bit high. I might as well go to explore the road after the evening bell rings tonight. Xu Yan and the others will pay attention to the movement. If something happens to me, they will There can also be a defense.

—Hiss, a little nervous.It's like a spy talking about the city lord's mansion at night.

Still kidding herself, based on Bai Zhu's understanding of Zhong Changya, she might be too nervous to fidget now.

It's just that Bai Zhu couldn't help her so far away from the city lord's mansion, so he could only wish Zhong Changya good luck.

Zhong Changya's message didn't stop there.

——Holy shit, just now the maid suddenly knocked on my door, scaring me to death.

——She came here to deliver clean clothes... To be honest, life in the City Lord's Mansion is pretty good. I think it has the best conditions among all the dungeons, so I just compared it instinctively.Hey, Mr. Lu is really virtuous.

Bai Zhu buried his face in Lu Ren's neck and smiled sullenly: "Mr. Lu is so virtuous."

Lu Ren seemed to have a calm expression on his face, but the tips of his ears were already blushing with embarrassment.

He whispered: "Don't follow around...and look down."

After Zhong Changya sighed casually, he began to talk about the maid.

——I think the maid in the City Lord's Mansion is weird, how can I put it... like a dummy, can you understand?

——The smile on his face has not changed, and even the tone of his voice is electronic, no matter how he looks or sounds, it is weird.

——I wouldn't be surprised at all if I found out that she was really not human.

The most recent news is from 5 minutes ago.

—The bell is about to strike.

——Now wait for the bell to ring, and hope to find out.

……

At eight o'clock, the evening bell rang punctually.

The melodious bells wafted over the City of Reflections, which could not be heard in the slums on the edge of the city, but everyone in the City Lord's Mansion not far from the bell tower could hear it clearly.

Zhong Changya opened the door when the third bell rang, and the bell completely covered the sound of opening and closing the door.

The corridor was dim, but it was not so dark. The unknown luminescent material embedded in the wall gave the corridor a faint light.

It's not enough for people to see things clearly, but at least they can see the outline of the corridor clearly.

Zhong Changya carefully left the room.

The soft touch underfoot is because the corridor is carpeted.Thanks to this carpet, Zhong Changya didn't make a sound when he walked.

There was no one in front of her, so she walked all the way to the exit of the corridor.

Just as he was about to leave this corridor——

"Where are you going?"

A faint female voice sounded behind her from a long distance away.

Zhong Changya turned her head stiffly.

At the end of the corridor, there was a dark figure.

She stood there silently, watching Zhong Changya walk out the door and walk towards the exit.

Zhong Changya lived in the room at the end of the corridor. She remembered peeking towards the exit, but she never thought of looking behind her, at the shadow standing almost against the wall at the end.

While Zhong Changya was feeling cold all over, she suddenly remembered something that she had forgotten for a while.

It seems like a horror game.
