I worked in the copy for those years

It seemed that the entire sky was shrouded in haze, and the whole village looked empty as if there were no other living people.

Jiang Qin fled in the village grabbing the life-saving props, behind him was a large number of ghosts chasing him.

Seeing that pair of pale and thin hands were about to grab the hem of his clothes, Jiang Qin staggered inexplicably as if tripped by something invisible.

Losing his balance, he fell heavily to the ground, and a boy's cry suddenly sounded in his ears.

At this moment, the sunlight finally regained the temperature it should have had.

Enduring the pain, Jiang Qin turned his head to follow the crying sound. A four or five-year-old boy was squatting not far away, clutching his feet shyly, crying with tears and snot running down his face.

He should have tripped over the boy's foot just now, and at the same time escaped from the hands of the ghost.

But speaking of it, they haven't seen many girls in the village these days, and the ghosts they saw just now are also female ghosts... Jiang Qin suddenly thought of this when looking at the boy NPC in front of him.

Worried that the boy's crying would attract the attention of the surrounding villagers, Jiang Qin used the cover of his pocket to find a few candies that were used to replenish his physical strength from the portable space, and handed them to your NPC.

Jiang Qin: "I'm sorry, are you okay, I hurt you just now when I didn't pay attention. I'll treat you to sweets, so don't cry."

The boy sobbed a few times, and was finally coaxed by these novelty candies, which were not common in this village.

He looked at Jiang Qin vigilantly, and finally reached for the candy, unwrapped it and bit it in his mouth.

After chewing it a few times and found that it tasted good, the boy who hadn't wiped off the tears immediately stared straight at Jiang Qin, and said bluntly, "It's delicious. Do you have any more in your pocket? I want more."

To be honest, it would be too disgusting for such a child to be placed anywhere.

Jiang Qin actually didn't want to talk to this NPC very much.

Just as he was about to perfunctory the past, another idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

"There are still a few more," Jiang Qin took out a few more candies from the portable space, and when he spoke, his hard words carried a bit of coaxing taste, "Of course, there are other conditions for what you want."

"Can you tell me, have any major events happened in your village before, or is there any custom of worshiping ancestors that requires virgin boys and girls as tributes?"

The boy shook his head: "No, our village is so remote, what big things can happen here."

"Boys and girls are still used to worship ancestors, so the current story doesn't tell these things." The boy said with some disdain, and then reached out to reach Jiang Qin's palm, and grabbed the candy directly in his hand.

Jiang Qin continued to try to ask: "I haven't encountered any major incidents before. Have there been any unusual incidents in your village recently? It's not a major incident, but it looks particularly strange?"

The boy replied casually: "I guess there are. You people suddenly came to our village. There is nothing nearby, but you are told to stay, but you still want to stay."

"This can be regarded as the most abnormal thing recently. I heard many people say that this looks very strange."

……

At the same time, just as Jiang Qin was trying to get the news out of the NPC, on the other side, watching all the ghosts around him disperse, Xie Linyuan waited for a while and then closed the magic circle, motioning Shi Yu to follow him without energy.

After seeing the dagger, Xie Linyuan's words once again became less heartbroken.

They followed the direction in which other reincarnated people escaped in their memory, and soon found Zhao Siyuan who was alone.

Seeing his love mentor, Xie Linyuan's eyes lit up, and he finally recovered a little bit of energy.

Before Zhao Siyuan greeted them enthusiastically, Xie Linyuan said to Shi Yu simply, "I have something to talk to him alone, you stand here and wait for me", and then quickly walked up to them, grabbed Zhao Siyuan's arm and pulled him away. Pulled aside.

Xie Linyuan glanced at Shi Yu who was standing there without moving, and then he was relieved to secretly confide his troubles to Zhao Siyuan: "Siyuan, besides being a hero to save the beauty, in such an environment, do you have anything else to gain favor with?" Way."

Zhao Siyuan was startled by the sudden intimate call from Xie Linyuan's mouth, and then he came back to listen to the follow-up request.

"Give props, stuff weapons?" Zhao Siyuan gave up the idea of ​​discussing the dungeon, and thought for a moment. Apart from the things Xie Linyuan did at the beginning, he could hardly think of any other way in the environment where love is scarce, "Just like this There is nothing in the valley, what else can I think of."

"By the way, have you tried the hero who saved the beauty mentioned earlier? In this environment, if someone attacks me like this, I will feel tempted. Is this really not possible?"

Xie Linyuan showed Zhao Siyuan the bandaged wound on his right arm.

"I tried it, and I got a little injury, but it's useless." Not only was it useless, it even gave the other party the illusion that he was weak, and he took out the dagger because of it.

Zhao Siyuan couldn't help touching his chin: "It's all like this, it shouldn't look like this."

"Are you unconsciously neglecting him somewhere, making people unhappy? If that's the case, you will be finished. You may be able to reconcile with a gift in the real world, but you can't even find a decent gift in the dungeon. ah."

Following Zhao Siyuan's words, Xie Linyuan quickly thought of the final outcome of his first encounter with Shi Yu in the dungeon.

Xie Linyuan's tone was filled with despair again: "I'm asking you something, of course, these are hypotheses... If someone almost killed another person in a dungeon, and the other person saw what the former did Why. So how can he remedy it so that the other person can forgive him?"

"Perhaps to ask more directly, is it impossible if things get into such a situation?"

Zhao Siyuan has heard many sentence patterns beginning with "I have a friend", so he naturally knows that all "friends" are the questioner himself.

I usually play games, and when I see someone attacking me for no reason, I can't help but add a vendetta, put it in the copy, and it can be regarded as immortal.

However, Zhao Siyuan will not tell these truths. After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Siyuan said again: "It's not the end of the game. Is it an infinite game? I don't know how many copies are waiting for us to clear the level. Maybe you After escorting him to end the infinite game, that little hatred may soon disappear."

... He is really a little curious now, what happened between Xie Linyuan and Shi Yu when he didn't know on the back mountain.Although Chen Yu took the time to explain to them, he always felt that things were not as simple as the other party said.

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Xie Linyuan smiled bitterly.

He wasn't telling the truth.Under the premise that the two sides have different positions, this situation is more than a little difficult, it is like daydreaming.

All his efforts may be distressing to these NPCs.

"Forget it, I'll figure it out myself." Without being able to explain the real situation to Zhao Siyuan, this so-called love counseling is of no practical use at all.

"Well," Zhao Siyuan patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Come on."

Xie Linyuan sighed.

……

Afterwards, the three of them found the other two reincarnations along the roads in the village.

Considering that the only place they are familiar with in the village is the village chief's house, after trying hard and finally finding no one, the group finally went directly back to the place where they stayed, and met the other two companions at the door.

The five of them prepared to go back to the room together.During the period, on the way back to the room, they also met the wife of the village head who stayed at home.

The village chief's wife pursed her lips, turned her head to see that there was no one else around, and suddenly stopped them.

"If you have a chance, you should leave here as soon as nothing happens before. This is not a place for you outsiders to stay."

Zhao Siyuan asked: "What will happen after that?"

"She's about to wake up." The village chief's wife said with a smile without end.

Different from the solemnity and danger of "leave early" explained in the original meaning, the smile on her face at this time even revealed a hint of relief and happiness.

She didn't say anything else, turned her head and left.

Knowing that even if they catch up and ask again, they won't be able to ask anything else. After reading this endless sentence, the five of them finally returned to the room.

After closing the door tightly, start discussing the information you have so far.

"Just now I suddenly discovered that there are not many underage girls in this village, and those who are chasing after us are almost all female ghosts..." Jiang Qin recalled the thoughts that flashed through his mind just now, At the same time, he clearly stated the conversation he had chatted with the boy NPC not long ago.

Zhao Siyuan quickly caught up with the topic: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen many young women on the street, most of them are middle-aged and elderly women. We have been here for so long at the village chief's house, and we haven't seen the village Women other than the eldest wife. According to the general marriage age in rural areas, the son of the village chief should be married at this age."

"Could it be that this village strangled the baby girl from birth, which led to the gender imbalance in the village, so I looked for it from the outside..." Zhao Siyuan paused, and then replaced it with a baby girl who seemed to be more in line with the status quo. And the vocabulary of various news reports, "...trafficking of young women?"

The system still didn't respond, indicating that there were still problems with their guess.

Jiang Qin thought about it seriously: "Although the system still doesn't respond, it feels like we are not far from the correct answer."

In fact, he was right to think so.

This is indeed very close to the correct answer.

Shi Yu hid in the corner. He observed the expressions of the other four reincarnators. Seeing that Xie Linyuan's expression was completely different from the other people's faces, he couldn't help guessing whether the other party had guessed the answer, and he had something shady in his heart With a small abacus, I clicked to open the NPC chat room of the instance.

Shi Yu: [Everyone, get ready to do it directly, I think they almost guessed the answer.Now I have already guessed that the kidnapping is on. 】

In this dungeon, the work of the level boss can be regarded as leisure, and the responsible plot is almost equivalent to nothing.

Seeing this, the level boss who was already idle quickly replied and asked: [But if they come out early, in case they can't find the answer in the end, our reaction will instead remind them to touch the puzzle?So far, although these reincarnations have been acquired, in fact, a tangible performance has not yet been obtained. 】

Shi Yu: [Then let them guess, let's act first.In addition to the sharp weapons, those reincarnations prepare the most metaphysical props that are useless to living people.In other words, as long as there are more people, they may be more likely to die at the hands of the living NPCs in the dungeon than ghosts. 】

[Okay, we'll call people to find you now. 】

In the room, outside the copy NPC chat room.

In the slightly quiet room, Jiang Qin's voice suddenly sounded again

"Speaking of which, it's because the corpses in the well haven't had time to be connected with other things... By the way, I heard Xie Linyuan say that those in the well are blood relatives of the level boss." Jiang Qin Going on, I suddenly thought of this.

Zhao Siyuan frowned and muttered, "Blood relatives..."

Before the other reincarnators continued to think about it, there was a sudden loud noise outside the door.

It seemed that there were countless footsteps sounding chaotically, constantly approaching them.

The door was knocked carefully at first, but as time went by, the people knocking on the door became louder and more irritable, and finally the sound sounded more like a door slamming.

The reincarnated people in the room looked at the door vigilantly, but at this moment, an ax suddenly smashed into the old wooden window frame. The loud sound caused everyone to turn their heads to look at it, and the middle-aged man outside the window straightened his hand The ax on his head smashed into the room, and the ax directly hit the face of Chen Yu, who moved the slowest and whose body had not been strengthened in any way.

The scarlet blood flowed down the ax blade, most of the eyeballs cut off by this force fell to the ground with a "slap", and the person fell to the ground together with a dull sound.

Judging by Chen Yu's appearance, the possibility of surviving the dungeon should not be great.

Shi Yu pretended to be aggressive and yelled in horror: "What are you doing?! Do you know that you are breaking the law?!"

"Breaking the law? Fart, you are breaking the law when you come to us, and you are thieves. Thieves deserve to die!" The NPC outside the window yelled sharply, and made a gesture to climb in through the window.

Zhao Siyuan took out his weapon and took a step back subconsciously.

It was at this time that the door of the room was smashed open, and it hit the wall with a loud bang.

The village chief was standing at the door right now, with an expression of anger on his face that was completely opposite to the previous friendliness.

A somewhat familiar NPC stood behind the village chief, and said dissatisfiedly, "Sure enough, I knew that they wandered around our village all day long. These people have bad intentions."

"In the beginning, we shouldn't have let them enter the village. They said they came for tourism, but in the end, they came to our place to rob people with the same intentions as the previous group of people." Hearing the tone, Zhao Siyuan quickly recalled This is the first NPC they saw when they entered the village two days ago.

Zhao Siyuan suddenly thought of the corpses in the well of the ancestral hall: "Blood relatives, blood relatives... After you abducted and trafficked a woman, did you kill all the relatives who came here to find her?"

So far, the ancestral hall and the back mountain, these two seemingly inexplicable places are completely connected.

"Bah, what is abduction? We obviously spent half our life saving money to buy it back." The villager who spoke turned to accuse others, plausibly saying, "The daughter-in-law we bought with money, they will be gone as soon as they come." If you want to snatch people back, these robbers deserve to die."

"You too, you are also a group of shameless thieves, you should all die."

There was a commotion in the crowd, and it could be seen that other NPCs also had the same idea, wanting to kill these "thieves and robbers" who didn't know which daughter-in-law they were targeting directly as before.

It's no wonder that the villagers in the village have been so wary of foreigners like them from the beginning to the end.

Taking advantage of the excitement of the discussion, Jiang Qin quickly put the answers together and submitted them together: "So, because of patriarchy, I didn't raise baby girls, and when I grew up, I bought them from human traffickers. Finally, I became my biological parents." After finally finding the door, you beat him to death and threw him at the bottom of the well in the ancestral hall?"

...Maybe the level boss of this dungeon was kept in the ancestral hall by his biological parents and those tablets.

Until they came into contact with the bloody smell in the ancestral hall well, whether it was the human-faced mice they saw following them all the time, or the female ghost who appeared in the room in the middle of the night but didn't really do anything, compared to these The seemingly friendly villagers have no concept of good and evil, but the ghosts have been urging them to run quickly.

No wonder no one in the village asked them if they had passed the ancestral hall in the past two days.Perhaps the female ghost in the ancestral hall who asked "Do you know me?" was scared away by the witch who entered the door, and in turn helped them cover the manhole.

The voice just fell, and the system quickly issued a customs clearance prompt.

[Congratulations to all the reincarnators for finding out the secrets buried in this remote village. 】

[Reincarnators will leave the instance in the next 10 minutes, please struggle to survive until then. 】

The two lines of customs clearance prompts slowly disappeared from the eyes of these reincarnated people.

The villagers surrounding them couldn't see these two lines full of ominous words.Holding up the agricultural tools that act as weapons in their hands, they kept pushing towards the reincarnated people.

It was at this time that the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.The sunlight slanting in from the window completely disappeared at this moment.

In the back mountain, the bones buried under the soil struggled to crawl out from the ground as if they were alive.

In addition to the baby bones that the reincarnators had seen with their own eyes, there were also some adult skeletons that were dozens of times larger than the former ones.Occasionally, because the buried time was not long, some undecomposed minced meat still hung on the gray bones.

They kept advancing towards the village below the mountain.

In the ancestral hall, all the innocent souls who had been suppressed at the bottom of the well for many years crawled out from the bottom of the well at this moment, and the manhole cover of the gossip well turned into dust at this moment.

Countless ghost images kept pushing into the crowd at this moment.

At first, the NPCs of the villagers failed to notice the strangeness in the village, so they used all the words of the reincarnators as excuses and wanted to surround them in righteous indignation.

Until there was a burst of out-of-control desperate cries from the periphery of the crowd, several heads of You with terrified expressions flew over their heads and smashed on the wall, leaving a bloodstain, and the blood brought out was like rain on their heads. On the road, they belatedly feel that something is wrong.

Like a flock of sheep being driven into the sheepfold, the villagers were driven into the room by death, and countless ghosts surrounded the room.

Footsteps, cries, begging for mercy, screams, and the distorted laughter of the ghost... the whole scene was in chaos, and the reincarnators who were standing together were diluted in the crowd at this moment.

Xie Linyuan barely had time to grab Shi Yu's wrist.

...Even if he knew that Shi Yu was an NPC, seeing Shi Yu's body lying in front of his own eyes at this moment would inevitably make him feel uncomfortable.

In the chaotic crowd of ghosts, he could hardly confirm the positions of other reincarnations.

"Let's go, we have to find a way to leave this room." Xie Linyuan grabbed Shi Yu and walked towards the window.In the overcrowded crowd, even if he tried his best to avoid fatal injuries, when he rubbed shoulders with other panicked villagers, he would inevitably be scratched by the sickle and hoe they held in their hands.

Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that while carefully guarding against other NPCs around you, you should also pay attention to the backstab that may occur behind you.

Fortunately, the hatred of the ghosts is not concentrated on these outsiders at the moment.As long as the villagers don't die, those ghosts usually won't choose the reincarnation to do it.

This can be regarded as a way out for NPCs like the dungeon.

Finally, he forced his way through the disordered crowd and made his way to the window.

Pushing aside the mass of corpses blocking the window, Xie Linyuan released Shi Yu's wrist with his other hand, and took out a dozen amulets from the portable space.

He stuffed half of it into Shi Yu's hand, and then led others out of the window.

The yellow paper painted with cinnabar in their hands suddenly turned into fly ash, but fortunately, this amount of props finally supported them to leave the room.

Xie Linyuan grabbed Shi Yu and went to a more remote corner.This is because the magic lineup allows living people to pass in and out, and this is also done to prevent other NPCs or reincarnations from attacking them in turn.

He found a corner where no one was around, and he didn't shy away from the group of ghosts, so he formed a formation and prepared to endure the 10 minutes.

That is to say, during these 10 minutes, it seemed that other reincarnations died unexpectedly in the dungeon, and the NPC himself no longer felt any pressure in this regard. Xie Linyuan found that Shi Yu's expression had completely faded from the panic he had pretended to be. Standing on the spot with an indifferent look.

Thinking back to the smooth process just now, maybe Shi Yu himself doesn't care about whether he dies or not.

Xie Linyuan glanced at the expression on Shi Yu's face, and soon under the subjective influence in his mind, such an association came into being.

Judging from the fact that he missed once before, maybe Shi Yu has given up on this idea at the moment.

Thinking of this, Xie Linyuan almost thought that Shi Yu's heart, which he said was made of stone, had softened a little.

Until he was stabbed right in the vest.

Shi Yu's hands-on technique is fairly proficient.Not only was he quick enough to strike, he even pinpointed the gap. While the other NPCs and reincarnations in the dungeon were all dead, and the ghosts were besieging together, at the moment when he began to strengthen the magic circle and couldn't get out, he took out own dagger.

The only pity is that it has been too long since he used this usual method of living people to kill people. Shi Yu didn't find the right position for a while, and the position of the knife was slightly off, so that Xie Linyuan was given a chance to speak, and he couldn't make people violent on the spot. shoot.

...But this problem is not considered serious at this time.Although his aim is a little bit off, he has other colleagues who can help him make up the knife.

The magic circle surrounding the two of them became thinner the moment the caster was injured, as if they could be shattered at the touch of a touch.

Xie Linyuan turned his head to look at Shi Yu in disbelief, his sharp eyebrows and eyes finally turned pale and soft with the blood continuously flowing out.

"I regret."

When Shi Yu heard Xie Linyuan say such a sentence suddenly, he immediately stretched out his hand in the direction of his neck.

Don't you want to take him with you... It doesn't matter, after all, he is also a cannon fodder.

Thinking of this, Shi Yu stood there indifferently.

Until he saw Xie Linyuan stretch out his hand to gently support his chin, and leaned his face closer as if to kiss him.

Even if Shi Yu had no experience in this field, he had watched horror movies, seen those couples who committed suicide in the movies, and even seen them love after death.

I really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to him one day.

At this point, Shi Yu finally took a step back subconsciously, and let go of his hand holding the dagger.

"That's right. I really don't look good enough now. I look like a shameless hooligan. Maybe it will cause you a psychological shadow in the future." Xie Linyuan said so mockingly, some weak voices were mixed with the ghosts. Amidst the crashing sound on the magic circle, it was even difficult for people to hear clearly for a while.

Obviously, he had always looked shameless before, but now that he was about to die, he suddenly started to speak politely.

The magic circle was constantly filled with cracks under the impact of the ghosts. Xie Linyuan just looked at Shi Yu quietly, as if he had completely given up struggling: "If I just died like this, would you feel happier?"

This can be regarded as the last sentence that Xie Linyuan had time to utter, which was considered complete.

The sound of the magic circle breaking suddenly sounded in the ear.

Just like this, Shi Yu watched the pale Xie Linyuan being overwhelmed by endless ghosts before the last sound came down completely.

This doesn't look like Xie Linyuan's style at all.

Maybe in the next second, he will just take out his dozens of stacks of talismans, or that baseball bat that has been stained with the tragic blood of many colleagues, and say something similar to "Then you are finished, and I will not make you happy." Opportunity" and other extravagant words.

Shi Yu thought of this inexplicably at this time.

But in the end, between the overlapping ghosts and shadows, everything finally settled down. No one can successfully survive in this situation when they are seriously injured.

Shi Yu shook off the blood stained on his hand, and for some reason, his heart beat suddenly so fast.

...Maybe at this moment, the heart that is actually no different from a living person finally realized belatedly that in the future there will never be such a reincarnated person struggling with how to gain favorability with a ghost like him Bar.

It's just that he didn't expect that he, a cannon fodder, actually survived to the end.

……

In the real world, at midnight, Xie Linyuan was awakened by a nightmare.

…No, maybe it’s not really a nightmare either, it does have a few decent moments now and then.

In that extremely real dream, although he couldn't recall all his dungeon experiences, he also saw a lot of pictures in it.

He saw that Shi Yu who had been lying on the hospital bed opened his eyes and looked at him in his dream, and slowly sent the blade into his heart.

He also saw the castle hall. He ignored the words that the other party handed over, and beat people to death in the dungeon.

This sudden awakening also made him see a lot.

Maybe those are not dreams at all... Xie Linyuan lowered his eyes to sort out the few pictures that suddenly appeared in his mind, and his inner thoughts kept churning.

"It seems that I am not a pervert who seeks novelty." Along with a sigh, countless emotions surged under the cold moonlight, and finally came together into such a slightly rejoicing sentence.

...Compared to the top-like head, it really looks the best when it is resting on Shi Yu's neck.

Next time, he can finally refute his little nephew——Yao Yang, with that gossip-like look at him from time to time.

The author has something to say:

Xiao Xie: I want to use my life to cry out, I am not a pervert! ! !

……
