Chapter 48: 52In the stormy reality (1) Xiao Leng silently fell to the ground...
The third knife stabbed in, Gu Si's death was already certain. Zhao Shangfeng clenched his jaw and let out a happy smile. He waited for Gu Si's chaotic fake identity to be moved to him, but suddenly felt an itch on his hand.
... It's really itchy.
The hand that he was holding the dagger in was suddenly surrounded by an unbearable itch, starting from the palm of his hand, quickly spreading to his entire hand.
Trieu Thuong Phong instinctively looked into his eyes.
"A aaa ——!!!" Then a terrifying scream was released.
His hand was collapsing, the originally complete skin like a disjointed jigsaw puzzle started to tear, from behind was flesh and blood and bones, but there was no blood flowing down, the disintegrated parts were like smoke and dust dissipating, it was as if he was not a flesh and blood person, but a weak and helpless lump.
A hand in a few seconds completely melted, followed by the arm.
"Ah ah ah ——" Trieu Thuong Phong used his left hand to grab his right wrist, panicking and trying to squeeze it to pieces, but then his left hand also fell off.
"Help!" Trieu Thuong Phong cried out in despair, but the torn hands seemed to be just a prelude. His legs, ears, and nose now also reacted, turning into black smoke that was blown away by the wind, and he couldn't even grab them.
In just a few short seconds, Zhao Shangfeng lost both of his legs and collapsed on the ground. But his internal organs were still intact, his thoughts were still clear, and he struggled to crawl towards his teammates, seeking help.
Zhang Kha and the male student using the fake name "Passerby A" were so scared that they quickly stepped back. Zhao Shangfeng, who had only half an arm left, was about to touch them when he dodged. Then his arm completely disappeared, and he moved further away from the two of them.
Not long after, Trieu Thuong Phong completely disappeared into thin air, the ground was clean, as if this person had never existed.
Truong Kha was almost scared out of his wits, he struggled for a while, his legs went weak. Fortunately, "Passerby A" was close enough, he instinctively held her, so she didn't sit down directly.
"He... He he... Gu Si..." Zhang Kha wanted to ask Zhao Shangfeng why he wanted to stab Gu Si to death, but he also wanted to ask Zhao Shangfeng why he didn't, but his mind was stuck, unable to form a complete sentence.
"Passerby Jia" was also stunned for a while, and forced out a sentence: "Why is he like this..."
Tieu Lang said: "Not very clear, just guessing."
"Gu Si must be a native, the only safe way for a native to kill her is to use her identity, using other methods to kill her will lead to the killer being backlashed, so Zhao Shangfeng was backlashed."
"As for Zhao Shangfeng..." He paused, seemingly thinking seriously for a moment, before continuing, "Could he be a bad luck impostor? For some reason, he mistakenly thought that Gu Si was also a special identity impostor, and wanted to kill her to get the props. He didn't expect to make a mistake in judgment and send it himself."
"..." Zhang Kha regained some of his composure and said in confusion, "Is there anything about Gu Si that resembles a fake identity?"
In her opinion, the "Mr. Zhao Qiansun" in front of her was the only soul character in the entire park. If there was an unlucky person in the team, he should be the top target.
Xiao Leng shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Could it be that Zhao Shangfeng has some kind of tool to aid in his judgment? I heard that some tools will reveal whether the other party is an ordinary person or not, but they don't clearly tell him his identity, so it's easy to make a mistake."
"... There is also this kind of shitty props?" Zhang Ke smiled complicatedly, his eyes still staring straight at Zhao Shangfeng who had just left the place, suddenly very fortunate that he was completely without any ordinary props.
Xiao Leng's expression remained unchanged as he finished telling the lie. Only he could hear a reminder sound in his ear: "Congratulations! The system has judged that you have successfully killed the unlucky Zhao Shangfeng. Please take out your item!"
.
On the other side, Diep Tich and his group were led by the red rabbit tour guide to the garden's entrance.
Before entering the haunted house, no one asked if there were any other projects coming up. Now that they suddenly knew they could leave, it was a pleasant surprise.
"Complete!!!" Jiang Du was so excited that he jumped up and suddenly hugged Lan Guiyi beside him, scaring Lan Guiyi.
The red rabbit tour guide opened his hands: "Alright, there is no such thing as a never ending party, this tour must come to an end! All the tourists can leave now, I wish you all a smooth journey! Looking forward to seeing you again!"
Inner travelers: Thank you, I don't look forward to seeing you again, and I sincerely hope that this farewell is a permanent one.
However, the boss still politely said to the red rabbit: "Okay, okay, thanks for guiding the tour."
"Go, bow."
"Good luck with your work!"
The one who walked in front of Ye Xi was the first to step out of the main door, a familiar white light enveloped her, her body swayed in the white light, then a familiar system reminder appeared: "Congratulations on successfully passing the 'Amusement Park Rules Strange Chat' and obtaining the props reward. You can choose to upgrade your existing props, or you can also draw out new props."
"Attention! Your possession of the props has already reached three pieces! If you choose to draw a new prop, you must give up an existing prop!"
Following the props upgrade and withdrawal interface, Ye Xi dully realized some problems, suddenly feeling heartache——her transaction with that rich second generation "Tang Monk" had not yet been completed, the compass was still on her props spread, occupying a props gap.
If she has completed the transaction to enter this Rule Realm, then she can immediately draw out new props!
She stared at the interface in front of her with an angry expression. After hesitating for a long time, she chose to upgrade to [Prophet].
Although the current [Distinguishing Dog] is the best to use, every time it is used it can provide her with the most important help, but the previous not-so-many online game experience told Ye Xi that holding high-level equipment is of course important, but having only one high-level equipment in hand is not enough, wanting long-term development still needs to be balanced. A casual piece of equipment can of course be a lot of miscellaneous resources, but other items also need to be taken care of when not in use, otherwise when not in use they will feel dizzy.
Moreover, at this moment in the mirror maze props shop, she also saw the [Props Orchid Equipment Bag]. If one day she can have enough points to buy equipment bags, each instance can recruit one more piece of equipment.
At that time, I only had low-level equipment in hand, but how much did I use it?
She pressed the confirm button, the [Prophet] level up was completed, each round the number of contaminated people increased from 1 person to 2 people.
Diep Tich breathed a sigh of relief, but a new reminder popped out from the white light:
"Congratulations! You have achieved dual existence with the guardian god, score +50!"
"Congratulations! You achieved dual existence with the guardian, score +50!"
"!" Diep Tich was both happy and scared.
Referring to the super talk, "Every time an ordinary person clears a round of the Rule Realm, they can gain 10 to 50 points," 100 points is indeed a huge sum of money. If every Rule Realm gives her this kind of opportunity, shopping for expansion packs and equipment packs are no longer a dream!
What makes people even happier is that her "Guardian God" and "Guardian" are actually the same person. She only completed one mission, but received two points.
... Pulled it up.
Pulling goat hair makes people happy!
After these two rows of subtitles dissipated, the white light finally slowly faded. Ye Xi landed steadily on the ground. Looking around, she entered the strange pond and headed towards that bathroom.
She couldn't help but sigh that "he" was indeed intelligent. When she first entered the two dungeons, after finishing them, he teleported her to a remote alley, effectively preventing her from suddenly appearing and scaring others, and also preventing others from discovering that she was the person who successfully passed through the strange pond, and remembering her appearance.
Later, they stayed at Tinh Nguyet apartment and talked about the strange rules. Because the entrance was a three-family residence, the people who moved in together naturally knew each other. "He" immediately regained his strength and, after the dungeon ended, directly brought them back to their original room.
Now the amusement park's strange talk is also brought back to the same place, probably because there are enough people entering the dungeon at the same time, the atmosphere of the amusement park is also complicated and chaotic enough, a group of people disappear at the same time and return to their positions, there is no need to worry about who is recognized by who.
Diep Tich walked out of the bathroom, looked down at the mirror in front of the public wash basin, and saw the necklace Mr. Mao Tu gave her still hanging brightly around her neck.
She didn't take it off, but to avoid trouble, she tucked it into her lap. Then she took out her cell phone and flipped to number 17, quickly typing: "I'm out. When we entered the dungeon, there were a total of 10 people, we lost 4 people on the way, and added 4 more, and when we left, there were 7 people left. By luck, 7 people survived, and 7 people died."
After simply reporting the situation, she walked around the main gate of Hoan Du Anh Thanh music garden.
In the dungeon she played during the day, in reality two hours had already passed. Two hours was enough time to completely evacuate the tourists who had not yet entered the strange pool. At this time, the area could only occasionally see a few random passersby, either musicians or number 17 staff, or participants who had also just left the strange pool.
The main gate of the music garden was equally cold. This house enjoyed a global amusement park grand entrance and there were dozens of booths set up, but even if they were opened at the same time on normal days, the tourists would still have to wait in line for a while. Right now, there were almost no people around the booths. Ye Xi casually walked towards a nearby one. The booths would automatically open when someone passed by. She walked over and someone called out to her from behind: "Ye Xi."
Diep Tich stopped and turned around, it was Tieu Lanh.
He must have also been suddenly transferred here to carry out a mission. Although he was still wearing the standard long windbreaker from before, and the suit underneath was not at all sloppy, his hair was a bit messy, revealing a kind of laziness that was especially present on weekends.
Diep Tich nodded, thinking of a suitable sentence to start a conversation: "You're out too, what's the situation? Are there many casualties?"
"Not sure yet." Xiao Leng truthfully reported, "The casualty statistics will take some time, once it is sorted out, someone will send it to the group later."
"Okay, I will pay attention to the zither." Diep Tich smiled, "I will go back first, see you again."
"...See you again." Tieu Lanh continued speaking, then saw Diep Tich wave at him and left.
Go ahead.
He had no choice but to swallow back his previous thoughts of inviting her to dinner, looking at her back he cursed inwardly: So cold.
.
When Diep Tich returned home, it was already dusk. He ordered a lunch box, opened Weibo, and contacted him via text message, "Tang Monk, you don't need to nag."
Diep Tich: "Are you free tomorrow? Truong Hung Street, cash on delivery?"
"Tang Monk" replied after nearly half an hour: "Okay, no problem! What is the specific time and place you plan?"
Diep Tich thought for a while, wanting to make a wish at the famous square on Truong Hung Street, but Duong Tang said: "They don't allow cars to stop there every year..."
... Also.
Diep Tich had no choice but to distance himself a little and said to him: "That Tay Thien street? Anh Quang department store door?"
Anh Quang shopping mall only has that one, very easy to find. On the other hand, although parking there is not particularly convenient, but compared to Truong Hung street management, there are still many more, stopping for a while and taking a walk is not a problem.
"Tang Monk" also responded in one gulp: "A few hours?"
Diep Tich thought for a while, considering that he wanted to sleep in to study his bad attributes, he simply set the time for the afternoon: "Let's go at three o'clock, wake up and come here?"
"Wake up, wake up!" The person on the other side of the screen was somewhat embarrassed, wiping his sweat and smiling with an embarrassed expression, "I will definitely be there on time, if I miss you I won't be back!"
Diep Tich: "Okay, no see, no return."
The next morning, thinking to himself that Ye Xi had once again failed his biological clock while sleeping in, he got out of bed and washed his face, but it was still not even 9 o'clock and he had already finished breakfast.
After breakfast, she sat down in front of the computer and clicked open the previous meeting to look at the documents. The amusement park rules summary had not yet been released, so she took out a pen and paper to make a summary of her experience.
Ye Xi himself had never been a diligent and honest scholar, nor was he some kind of crazy person. He just wanted to seriously complete the following work. Moreover, this work was still dealing with strange rules. On the one hand, if he made a mistake, he would lose his life. On the other hand, the 17th-grade money was not small.
She was able to keep her life by opening the door to the enemy.
Simply tidying up a dungeon clearing experience, Ye Xi was still satisfied with her performance this round. But the place where the handling was lacking was also very obvious——in the Lu Ye cafeteria, verifying the food delivery rules section, if she could directly use Mr. Mao Zi's rank to ask the staff what to do now, that would be good, otherwise, after verifying the rules, using another method to make her teammates believe her judgment was also possible, in short, there was no need to waste a [Distinguishing Dogs] first, using the opportunity to use Mr. Mao Zi's props to act out a play to make her teammates accept it.
But...
Although it makes sense now, but when one is in the Rule Realm, this kind of situation is actually difficult to completely avoid.
Because she was just an ordinary person, and was also afraid of ghosts. Under the table, she had undergone mental torture until her whole body was numb. Just remembering that acting in a play like this was something that came naturally when one was in a bad situation. It was very difficult to ask oneself to do it perfectly in a scary situation.
Time passed by unknowingly, it was noon. Ye Xi simply stir-fried two dishes to finish his lunch, then brought the [Guide] blind box and went straight out.
She and "Tang Monk" had agreed to meet at three o'clock, and there was still some time left. However, she could go to the 17th floor first and take the initiative to ask about yesterday's dungeon situation.
This matter originally did not need to be rushed, but she was a serious worker who worked from Monday to Friday and still had her own work to do, so the rule of thumb was that it was best for her to finish the strange matters on the weekend.
At 1:30 pm, Diep Tich entered Truong Hung 17th Street and went straight to the 3 teams' main office.
There were no Sunday missions, even if it was a special department like 17, most of the people were resting. In the 3 teams in the office at the moment, there was only Xiao Leng, Yang Ge, and an employee in charge of organizing office materials. Seeing Ye Xi enter, Yang Ge was a bit surprised: "Who are you, how did you get here?"
"I want to go nearby to handle some business for a while, so I came out early, thinking it would be convenient to see if yesterday's rules summary came out," said Diep Tich.
Duong Ca smiled: "As expected of you." After speaking, he stood up and walked towards the civil servant. Diep Tich went over and discovered that the book he was binding was the same information as yesterday.
Duong Ca took out a well-sealed portion and gave it to her. Diep Tich said thank you and sat down on an empty chair to flip through it.
This time the dungeon was a bit special, the scale was very large, but the difficulty was actually not particularly tricky. Therefore, out of the 17 factions that sent out 50 team members, 47 returned safely, only 3 people died, which was considered a very difficult achievement.
Compared to below, ordinary people who were sucked into the dungeon were not so lucky. In the 17th team alone, more than 300 people died. The rest were not in the 17th team. I'm afraid that even if the group was wiped out, there would be quite a few. It's just that it's hard to count at the moment. Only through the help of the household registration department can we determine the exact number.
In addition, what is relatively regrettable is that at this time, everyone cannot find a way to close the Rule Realm's entrance. However, this is also not a way, the outbreak is sudden, everyone is urgently transferred to the past, being able to deliberately bring these people out is already not easy, and closing the entrance is undoubtedly another arduous task.
Therefore, in the final document, with few words but much meaning, it is written: "In order to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the general public, the Hoan Du Anh Thanh Music Garden will be temporarily closed on the same day. During the closure, all departments can, after approval, enter the music garden at any time to conduct research and try to find a method for closing the garden."
"Go into the music garden to conduct research." Diep Tich thought for a moment, then turned to ask Duong Ca, "Why doesn't Tinh Nguyet apartment use this?"
"It's also useful." Yang Ge had just destroyed the bag of dried European plums, ate one himself, then handed the bag to Ye Xi, "However, we will still prioritize dealing with the amusement park. On one hand, the closure of the amusement park will cause even greater property losses, and on the other hand, the difficulties of the Xingyue Apartment will still be even more brutal. Although we cleared customs without any injuries last time, but who knows if the internal rules will change? The slightest mistake will be a death sentence."
"... Also." Ye Xi smiled bitterly, took out two individually packaged dried plums, opened one, and just put it in his mouth. Xiao Leng, who had been leaning against the table and was busy writing something, immediately brought a chair over and said, "Are you free tonight? I'll invite you to dinner."
Diep Tich was surprised: "Ah?"
Duong Ca couldn't help but glance at Tieu Lanh, then leisurely destroyed the dried European plum.
Tieu Lang said neither fast nor slow: "Yesterday in the dungeon I said I would treat you to dinner."
But she did not respond!
Ye Xi was stunned for two seconds, feeling that it must be his bold emotions yesterday that made him feel awkward, he felt a little embarrassed for a moment, he forced a laugh twice: "Yesterday I just complained casually... Just in time I still have to go meet someone, I don't need you to treat me!"
Xiao Lang's eyebrows jumped slightly, he let out a faint "Oh" sound and asked again: "Going to see who?"
Not even half a sentence later the words were: Boyfriend?
Then heard Diep Tich say: "I'm selling a prop, I'll go with the dealer in a moment."
Xiao Lang's eyebrows suddenly furrowed, looking at her eyes: "You went yourself?"
"... Right, originally thought of sending it by express delivery, but was afraid it would be thrown away." Ye Xi finished speaking and quickly added, "But I just ordered it on Xi Shan Street, it's very safe! Don't worry!"
Tieu Lanh's eyes darkened: "I'll follow you."
"No need..." Diep Tich said, "Who dares to stay on Tay Thien street..."
"Hey, are you careful?" Yang Ge intentionally glanced at Xiao Leng, and interrupted her with a slap on the face, "You must be nervous about taking out tens of millions of cash. It's already worth tens of millions, and you're also carrying a life-saving magic item on your person. How dare you not take it to heart?"
Diep Tich was speechless and unable to answer.
Tieu Lang: "A few hours?"
Diep Tich replied: "Three points."
"Okay, I'm free." Tieu Lanh said casually, just like that, going with the flow and deciding to go together.
But at two o'clock, Ye Xi received a text message from "Tang Seng". The two people in front had always been text-based contact, but this time "Tang Seng" had already sent a voice message, and the tone was heartbreaking to hear: "That, sister? Sister? Excuse me, can we slow down a bit? I drove halfway and hit someone, now I'm waiting for the traffic police to handle it, then I have to go back and get another car."
The background voice also had the other party pleading: "Brother, can I solve this privately, brother..."
"Tang Monk" boldly said: "Deal with your own shit!" The voice suddenly stopped here.
Diep Tich felt a little regretful for not being able to hear the argument, then typed a reply: "Can you come in a few hours?"
"Tang Monk" sent out the same voice again: "6 o'clock means... Or 6:30? The means said 6:30 is more secure."
Diep Tich generously said: "Then 6:30, you handle it first, if there is anything, contact me anytime."
Tang Monk: "Thank you, thank you!"
Diep Tich turned off Weibo, just looked at Tieu Lanh, Tieu Lanh said: "I'm free at 6:30."
Diep Tich: "... Thank you."
So, originally only calculating to 17 points, Diep Tich had no choice but to continue waiting. She was bored to death and started to swipe the video, but she saw countless "Pay attention, this woman is called little beauty / this man is called little marshal" explanations later, but it was almost 6 hours.
From Truong Hung Street to Tay Thien Highway is just a step away, but considering traffic jams and other problems, the two still left at 5:50, arriving at the destination at 18:15.
Tieu Lanh drove the car to the side of the small road of Anh Quang department store and stopped. Because of the special license, his mind was blown as he thought the security guard was in plain clothes performing official duties. He took a quick look and left without asking anything.
18:25, Diep Tich sent a message to "Tang Monk": "I'm here." After speaking, he told Tieu Leng, "I'll get out of the car and wait for him on the side of the road. It's easy to find."
Tieu Lang nodded silently: "Stand in a place I can see."
"Oh." After being scolded by Yang Ge for a while, Ye Xi's sense of security was not enough. He didn't object anymore, opened the car door, got out, and stood more than ten meters away from Xiao Leng.
That location has a street light, and a little further inside there is a security guard pavilion, so it looks safe.
18:30, Diep Tich saw that the message still had no response, so he sent another message: "Where have you been?"
18:42, the phone vibrated a bit, Diep Tich thought it was "Tang Monk" reply, picked it up and saw Tieu Leng asking her through WeChat: "Pigeon?"
Diep Tich: "... Surely not possible, maybe traffic jam?"
City B traffic jam is so bad that even on weekends the traffic situation is not good enough to drive anywhere.
But waiting until 19:00, still no sign of the person, not even a single reply to the news. At this time, Ye Xi was a little annoyed, and opened Weibo again: "What do you mean by not coming and not returning? I'm going home."
After saying that, she resentfully ran back to Xiao Leng's side of the car. Xiao Leng understood and let go of the car window. Ye Xi said in a fluster: "You really are a pigeon... Sorry to bother you! I'll call a cab to go home first!"
Tieu Lang tentatively opened his mouth: "I can take you."
"No need, no need!" Diep Tich continuously waved his hands, "This side calls for a real car, I already called for a taxi!" After speaking, he raised his phone to show him.
She confirmed the taxi, the express car stopped at the side of the road four minutes later, Tieu Lanh confirmed that Diep Tich got in the car and also stepped on the gas, preparing to turn around and go home.
But as soon as the express car in front started, another car came out not far from the corner behind, passing by Xiao Leng's side of the car, and caught up with the express car that had just left.
Tieu Lanh's eyes trembled slightly, seeing two cars in front and behind coming from the same intersection on the main road, quickly changing direction to follow.
From Tay Thien highway to Diep Tich's house, it usually takes less than an hour, but now because of traffic jam, it's estimated to take more like an hour and a half.
Late autumn evening at 8:30, the sky was already dark, most of the residents had already returned home, a crescent moon hung in the horizon, the streets seemed very quiet.
Diep Tich, like the usual driver, stopped the car at the entrance of the residential area and got out of the car. He habitually put on his headphones and walked inside. :,,.
