True Beta needs to attack Alpha

The thick dark clouds, like cotton balls saturated with ink, fell heavily in the air, dripping black rainwater.

As far as the eye can see, the high-rise buildings, green spaces, and squares are all dilapidated, with no people and no vitality. The dim colors seem to be pulled out of moldy old photos, as if covered with a layer of frosted glass, making it difficult to see clearly.

The sound of the howling wind, the sound of falling rain, and the sound of fallen leaves rubbing against the air were all swallowed up by this world, as if there was a huge hole invisible to the naked eye, sucking in all the vitality of the entire world.

Su Ye fiddled with her hair, which was blown tousled by the dusty storm, and walked to the station not far away with Chen Buyu.

"It's three stations away from here. We can walk directly along the platform." Chen Buyu pointed to the small vertical characters that were horribly depicted.

Su Ye looked at the seemingly endless road, held Chen Buyu's hand and said, "Let's go..."

When they approached the iron gate of the orphanage, the dim world seemed to revive from the dead silence, and even the rotten dead wood seemed to become alive, barely raising their heads under the weight of time.

"Rainbow House..." Chen Buyu recognized it for a long time before he could barely make out the dilapidated dark red paint characters on the wall.

Su Ye and Chen Buyu looked into the courtyard through the gap between the two iron doors. Children of different ages were laughing and playing around the old slide, and a middle-aged woman in a white coat was sitting beside her. drinking tea on a stone bench.

About 10 minutes later, Sui Yuanju and Lexiang, who were involved in the dungeon earlier, arrived, and the four successfully reunited.

Su Ye only had time to hand the two blood crystals to Sui Yuanju and Lexiang respectively, and before they exchanged information, the middle-aged woman in the courtyard came straight, looked at the four of them cautiously through the crack of the door, and said, "Are you here?" Are you applying for a nurse?"

Although Lexiang had never participated in a dungeon competition, she was an expert in stand-alone exploration games, so she immediately realized that the middle-aged woman might be the NPC who promoted the plot.

However, just when Le Xiang was about to admit it smoothly, Su Ye hurriedly said before her: "No, we are human traffickers who abducted and trafficked children. We just came here to look at the goods."

The middle-aged woman's face turned livid as if she had been poured with paint. This was obviously not the answer she wanted to hear.After looking at Su Ye with a calm gaze for a while, she gritted her teeth and turned around...

"Wait a minute..." Before the middle-aged woman took a step, Su Ye stopped her with a smile, and changed her voice: "We changed our mind again, we decided to apply for the nurse here."

The middle-aged woman's face suddenly became ferocious like a cracked steamed bun, but she quickly suppressed her anger and said in a muffled voice, then come with me.

After they entered the courtyard, the rusty iron gate squeaked harshly and closed like a giant mouth being fed, separating the inside and the outside of the iron gate into two worlds—there was dust and dust outside the gate, and peace inside the gate. .

Looking at Chen Buyu, Su Ye stroked his chin clearly, and murmured to himself, "It's interesting."

The children playing in the courtyard stopped playing and laughing as if they had been pressed the pause button. They cast their curious eyes on Su Ye and the others, watching the middle-aged woman lead them into the short building ahead.

The old incandescent lamps on the roof can barely illuminate the center of the corridor, and the gradually graying dark color extends to the shadows that meet the walls.

The wall paint peeled off mottled traces as if it was going to decline, exuding the decaying atmosphere of the dying west.

Until the middle-aged woman pushed open the door of the dean's office, the warm sunlight came in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, reflecting the magnificence of the low-key but luxurious office, as if injecting vitality into the entire low building.

"Dean..." The middle-aged woman respectfully called out to the middle-aged man sitting with his back to the door, and bowed humbly, "Someone is here to apply for a nurse."

The middle-aged man in a straight suit—that is, the dean—turned around on his seat, with chiseled lines on both sides of his lips that had been pursed all year round. He frowned and sized up Su Ye and the others for a long while before slowly Open the mouth: "Your task is to take care of the children playing in the yard."

He took out a document bag that was pressed at the bottom of the materials: "Salary and benefits are all in here."

"Take a look, sign if there is no objection, and start working today."

Su Ye didn't make any trouble this time, he neatly signed his name on the horizontal line: your father.

The dean also did not disappoint him and directly put away the contract, and then sent them to find Aunt Liu who had left—that is, the middle-aged woman who brought them to the dean's office earlier, and asked Aunt Liu to arrange work for them.

As soon as the door of the dean's office was closed, Le Xiang asked impatiently: "What is this place? What is a dungeon? Also, why do you say you are a human trafficker."

Chen Buyu explained: "You can understand the dungeon as a mystery exploration game. You can only leave here if you clear the level according to the prompts and clues."

"Su Ye said that he is a human trafficker in order to test the bottom line of the dungeon."

"If the NPC refuses us to enter because Su Ye is running the train with his mouth full, it means that the NPC is more humane and the dungeon is more difficult; and now, even though Su Ye has played tricks on the NPC, she still suppresses her anger and lets us in, which means that the NPC behaves rigidly. The copy is less difficult."

"In this kind of dungeon, the degree of freedom is quite high, and we can be more flexible in our actions accordingly."

"However, I still have to remind you." Su Ye added, "The dungeon is more similar to horror and mystery games, so the dean, Aunt Liu and the children outside are not necessarily human, and they may not even be ghosts. .”

"And according to our experience, in survival dungeons, 90.00% of the NPCs will attack the taskers at night. So I suggest from the bottom of my heart that you two don't trust anyone except yourself."

Sui Yuanju asked back: "Can't you believe it too?"

"Of course we can believe it, but..." Chen Buyu drew his tone, "If the ghost turns into our appearance, I don't believe you two can recognize it."

"So it's better to be on the safe side, you two don't trust anyone at all."

Le Xiang and Sui Yuanju: "..." There is no need to be so direct.

Sui Yuanju adjusted his mentality and changed the subject directly: "Shall we go to Aunt Liu next?"

"You don't think we are here to be nurses, do you?" Su Ye looked at Sui Yuanju, his eyes were full of surprise "Why do you have such a weird idea?" Let's explore it to see if there is anything suspicious."

So under Su Ye's arrangement, the four of them split up and agreed to meet at the gate of the building two hours later.

Unfortunately, Su Ye, Le Xiang and Sui Yuanju found nothing; fortunately, Chen Buyu discovered a suspicious place.

"The basement is locked." Chen Buyu turned his sore wrist bones, and a displeased pimple appeared between his brows. "Other door locks, whether I smash or pry them, can always be opened. That door lock doesn't work. The basement lock is locked." There must be something wrong."

Su Ye immediately cheered up like a big cat seeing fresh meat, raised his eyebrows and said: "Maybe, the truth of the dungeon is hidden there."

"So..." Le Xiang said blankly, "Then how can we enter?"

Su Ye, who had planned for a long time, said directly: "You are in charge of monitoring the dean, Sui Yuanju is in charge of monitoring Aunt Liu, and Buyu and I are in charge of monitoring these children to see who will enter the basement, let's follow."

Since then, the four of Su and Ye began to repeat the fulfilling life of "childcare, cleaning and food preparation".

The seven-day customs clearance time is fleeting, and they still haven't found a way to enter the basement, and the copy has no sign of letting them leave.

"Why are we still in this damn place..." Le Xiang slumped down on the steps in a daze, looked up at the cloudy sandy yellow sky, exhausted physically and mentally, "Even if we didn't find out what's wrong with the basement, we at least You survived successfully, isn’t this considered a customs clearance?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Liu who appeared out of nowhere suddenly yelled at them: "Who are you?! How did you get in?!"

Su Ye subconsciously followed the prestige, and happened to meet the vigilant Aunt Liu, who was scanning Su Ye and the other four with eyes that looked at strangers.

A flash of light flashed in his mind, he half-closed his eyes, and tentatively replied: "We are here to apply for nurses."

"Application for a nurse?" Although Aunt Liu was still skeptical, under the inertia of the dungeon, she still said, "Then come with me."

Le Xiang and Sui Yuanju, who followed Aunt Liu's footsteps again, looked at each other dumbfounded, and Sui Yuanju lowered his voice and said, "What's going on? Why does Aunt Liu act like she doesn't know us?"

"She really doesn't know her anymore." Chen Buyu, who figured it out, let out a long breath and gritted his teeth, "The so-called customs clearance time of seven days does not mean that we will be released after we survive for seven days. It is that after we survive for seven days, the time will be reset."

"No wonder we didn't encounter any danger, it turned out to be waiting for us here."

"If we can't crack the copy, we will be trapped here forever."

Lexiang: "Forever?!"

Sui Yuanju: "Trapped here?!"

Thinking of the faded walls, the rotting beds and the dead air, both of them felt dizzy at the same time.

I really want to say, if anyone can guess the truth, I will stand upside down and eat shit...
