I picked up a boyfriend in the infinite game

"Knock, knock, knock", there was a sudden knock on the door.

Song Guicheng opened the door and saw a girl standing at the door with a ponytail and a timid look on her face.

He had the impression that this was one of the players.

"Sorry to bother you," the girl said a little awkwardly, "could you please come to our room and take a look?"

Song Guicheng asked: "What happened?"

"It's just..." The girl frowned and pursed her lips, "There is a strange smell in our room. Can you please go and take a look?"

Song Guicheng turned around and looked at the three people in the room. Shi Sui and Xu Chongchuan both looked as if it had nothing to do with them, and Zhang Yifan obviously didn't want to get involved either.

He sighed in his heart and wanted to refuse, but when he glanced at the little girl's red palm, he still felt a little reluctant: "Let's go."

The girl thanked him repeatedly and led Song Guicheng to their room. On the way, the girl told him that her name was Ye Yiru and she was an F-level player.

Ye Yiru's room is at the outside, close to the stairs.

As soon as he walked in, Song Guicheng smelled the strange smell she mentioned.

It was a sickening stench of decay mixed with the smell of blood, and it was unbearable.

Her other two roommates were sitting on the bed, one was called Chen Qiao and the other was called Miao Mingjie, one had a look of indifference on his face and the other was at a loss.

It seems that Che Wen lives in the same room with the three girls, Song Guicheng speculated.

The further you go in, the stronger the smell becomes.

He stood at the bathroom door and turned around to ask the girls, "Can I come in?"

Ye Yiru nodded: "Of course."

Song Guicheng opened the door and a strong stench filled the entire room. Several girls couldn't help but retching.

He walked in with a frown and pinched nose. The stench made his eyes sore. He tried his best to endure it and observed for a while.

It was no different from the bathroom in his room, except that the toilet was changed from a squat toilet to a toilet.

He searched carefully, the sink, cabinets, shower room, and faucet, but could not find the source of the smell.

The smell gave him a very bad feeling, it was the smell of rotten meat that he had smelled many times.

Feeling dizzy from the fumes, he walked out and closed the bathroom door: "The stench should be coming from here, but I can't find the source."

Song Guicheng patted his sweater and said, "If you really can't bear it, you can open the bathroom window. It's best not to use this bathroom these days. I see there is a public bathroom at the end of the corridor."

After saying that, he was ready to go out, but before leaving, he turned around and asked Ye Yiru: "Why did you come to find us?"

Ye Yiru pulled her sleeves and said, "I knocked on other people's doors, but they ignored me." Then she closed the door.

Song Guicheng paused for two or three seconds, his eyes cast into the depths of the corridor where the ceiling lights could not reach.

Fear is human nature.

Suddenly a sound came from the darkness, and Song Guicheng leaned against the door and became alert.

Gradually, he could see clearly that it was the man from the afternoon, walking out with a tray of food.

There were only two of them in the corridor, no one spoke, and a silence spread in the space.

The man came closer and closer. Song Guicheng licked his lips and took the initiative to greet him: "Good evening."

The man glanced at him lightly and said, "Okay." as a response.

Song Guicheng saw the plate in his hand and asked, "Are you going to deliver the plate?"

The man nodded.

Song Guicheng glanced downstairs and saw that the lights were off and the endless darkness was compressed together.

"It's too dark down there, I can't even see the road clearly," Song Guicheng said, "You can still make it tomorrow, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but want to give himself a slap. This was someone else's home, so why should he interrupt him? Besides, this man didn't look like he was afraid of the dark.

But what she didn't expect was that the man actually stopped and stood there, staring at Song Guicheng for a few seconds.

His profile was reflected in the light, and the smooth lines of his neck were swaying in the hazy night.

Song Guicheng felt a chill on his back and cold sweat on his hands when he was stared at by him. He was about to say something to ease the atmosphere when the man suddenly turned around and left without saying a word.

I actually listened to his advice and went down tomorrow.

Song Guicheng didn't dare to delay any longer and hurried back to his room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Shi Sui wrapped up like a silkworm cocoon on the bed and asked casually, "What time is it now?"

Shi Sui glanced at the watch on his wrist: "8:40."

Song Guicheng nodded: "Is it accurate?"

Shi Sui shook his wrist, the silver-white dial reflecting under the light: "It dropped in the dungeon."

Speaking of props dropped in the dungeon, Song Guicheng thought of his own paper figurine, so he walked over and said, "Can you help me look at a prop?"

"what?"

"paper man."

"What?" Shi Sui sat up from the bed.

Song Guicheng took out the paper figure from his backpack and placed it on the table: "Paper figure."

It was a miniature paper man in red, with sparse features, black eyebrows, and red cheeks, lying limply on the bedside table.

Not only Shi Sui, but Xu Chongchuan and Zhang Yifan also came over to take a look.

Shi Sui teased it twice, but it didn't react at all: "I really haven't seen it before, Lao Xu, have you seen it before?"

Xu Chongchuan frowned and recalled it in his mind, then shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it."

Song Guicheng reached out to touch it. The moment his index finger touched the paper, his body suddenly stiffened and a chill ran down his index finger.

"Are you okay?" Shi Sui noticed his abnormality and asked.

Song Guicheng shook his head: "Since you can't see it, I'll put it away."

As the night deepened, Song Guicheng turned off the lights and lay down on the bed.

He and Zhang Yifan slept on opposite sides of the bed, each covered with their own quilt.

The room was pitch black, and Song Guicheng could not see his hand in front of him, but he had a vague feeling that someone was spying on him, or rather, on everyone in the room.

He wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, trying to ignore the thoughts in his mind.

He thought of the paper man, the strange feeling he had when he touched the paper man just now, and the "upgradeability" of the paper man. What exactly did it rely on to be upgraded?

As I thought about it, I gradually felt sleepy and fell asleep without realizing it.

Song Guicheng thought something would happen at night, but he had no dreams all night. When he woke up the next day, everyone was gathered on the first floor.

15 people, no more, no less.

The couple brought breakfast to the players, including bread, eggs, milk, pancakes and so on. Seeing these, they breathed a sigh of relief, at least things were a little bit back to normal.

Shi Sui was the first to sit down and start eating, and others followed suit.

Song Guicheng was also hungry. After all, he had eaten too little last night. He drank two bowls of porridge in one breath and ate half a piece of bread. Only then did the hunger in his stomach subside.

The bruises under Xu Lan's eyes were very severe, and it looked like she had not slept well the night before. She had no appetite for breakfast and only ate a few bites after Yang Jie's persuasion.

Che Wen took a bite of the pancake and said, "In the dungeon world, the most important thing is to be self-reliant. Do you think you are still at home? No one will spoil you."

Although she didn't mention anyone by name, everyone could tell she was talking about Xu Lan.

When Xu Lan heard her words, her face became even uglier and she forced herself to swallow the egg in her mouth.

No one stood up to refute Che Wen. Although her words were not very pleasant, it was indeed the fact.

The system only assigned the main task of finding the sister and didn't mention anything else. When asked about the couple, they started hesitating and evasive.

The more they behaved like this, the more Song Guicheng suspected there was some unspeakable secret behind this matter, but the couple's anxious attitude did not seem to be fake.

After pondering for a while, he decided to check out all the rooms in the villa today, especially... He glanced upwards, especially the uninhabited third floor.
