I picked up a boyfriend in the infinite game

The bathroom is very narrow. Next to the toilet is a connecting water pipe covered with rust. There is a window high up, through which you can see the night outside.

Zhan Caichun quickly finished her work and went to the sink to wash her hands. She accidentally stepped into the water. She lowered her head and saw that water had overflowed from the bottom of the sink.

The water discharge here is not very good, which is obvious to all. She shook her hands and was about to open the door, but something suddenly got entangled around her feet.

Before she could react, the thing precisely strangled her neck, choking her breath.

Zhan Caichun rolled her eyes and tried to look down, but she saw several thin vines slowly cutting into her flesh.

Flesh and skin exploded and splattered against the door.

The weak body was suddenly dragged to the ground by a great force, making a dull "thump" sound.

The sound startled Ding Xiang who was outside, and she yelled, "Zhan Caichun——"

However, no response was heard.

She climbed out of bed and walked to the bathroom door in two or three steps. Before she opened the door, she smelled blood.

"Zhan Caichun——" Dingxiang called out again anxiously.

The air was silent, like a pool of stagnant water.

Now she was sure that something might have happened to Zhan Caichun. She was about to open the door and go in, but she heard a very strange sound and stopped abruptly.

This sound is hard to describe in words. If I had to, it would be like deboning a chicken or pig while cooking, pulling the bones out of the body one by one.

Ding Xiang's feet were nailed to the ground and she couldn't move at all. Her throat was dry and cold sweat kept coming out from her back.

Only when the sound disappeared did she run out of the room in panic, shouting "Oh no, oh no, something happened to Zhan Caichun" while knocking on the other three doors.

Song Guicheng was not awakened by Dingxiang's knocking on the door, but when he heard the chattering outside the door, he realized that something was wrong and ran out in a hurry.

I saw Dingxiang's door wide open, and the voices of the players came from inside.

"Fuck, how could he die like this?"

"Honey, I'm so scared, wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu."

"Did you see how she died?"

……

When Song Guicheng walked in, he saw a group of players gathered at the bathroom door, sticking their heads out to look inside. Dingxiang was sitting on the bed, looking frightened.

Only Haixi was leaning against the wall next to him, nodding his head.

This guy is really awesome. He can still sleep at this time.

He walked over and patted Haixi. Haixi opened her hazy eyes, saw Song Guicheng in front of her, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Song Guicheng: "What happened?"

"Someone's dead." Haixi answered briefly, not seeming to care much.

"Zhan Caichun?"

Haixi nodded.

Song Guicheng squeezed sideways into the crowd of players and finally saw Zhan Caichun lying in a pool of blood.

She fell limply to the ground, her body torn and covered with flesh, with almost no intact skin. What was even more horrifying was that all the bones in her body had been pulled out, even her skull was not spared, and her face was limp and pressed to the ground.

Song Guicheng subconsciously took a half step back and bumped into Wan Yongyi behind him.

"Alas, a little girl died so undignifiedly." Wan Yongyi seemed to sigh.

Song Guicheng also agreed: "Yes."

But in the dungeon, there is no way to give you a decent death. Your dignity is trampled under the feet of death. They are players struggling to survive.

But they don't play the game, the game plays them.

Dingxiang had calmed down by now. She walked over silently, and once again saw that her companion was already a corpse. She couldn't help but cover her face and cry.

"What happened then?" Song Guicheng handed her two pieces of paper and asked in a gentle tone.

Ding Xiang wiped her tears and recalled the scene just now: "Zhan Caichun turned on the light and said he wanted to go to the toilet. I thought it was only a few steps away, so nothing should happen."

She couldn't help shedding two more tears. "I sat on the bed waiting for her. After waiting for a while, I suddenly heard a sound of someone falling in the bathroom."

After that, there was that indescribable horrible sound, and she ran out in a hurry to find other players.

Hearing Ding Xiang's description, Ding Mengqi couldn't help but feel her hair stand on end, and she clung to Kong Jianzhang beside her: "Hubby, I'm so sleepy, let's go back to sleep."

"What clues haven't been investigated yet? Why are you sleeping? Aren't you afraid that you will be the next one to die?" He pushed his girlfriend away.

Ding Mengqi fell against the wall, not daring to say a word.

Song Guicheng ignored the farce between the two men, but walked into the bathroom, squatted down and carefully examined the body from top to bottom, and finally found something unusual.

"Look, is there a mark of strangulation here?" Song Guicheng pointed at her neck.

Wan Yongyi took a serious look and said, "Hey, it's true."

However, the mark of the strangulation was too deep and could easily be confused with other open wounds on the body.

Seeing the marks, Song Guicheng immediately thought of the things he had just pulled out from under the filter when he was washing up.

He stood up and walked to the pool and pulled out the filter. Sure enough, circles of vines were wrapped around the water outlet, making it tight.

"Damn, what a piece of crap is this!" Du Chenyu said in surprise.

Ding Xiang obviously didn't expect this either. She widened her eyes and said, "But it's not here yet in the afternoon."

After listening to Song Guicheng's description in the morning, they came back and checked it, and found that the water outlet was still clean.

Song Guicheng sniffed it, then carefully observed its color and condition, and said, "Is this newly grown?"

Although he himself found it incredible, from the bright color and flexible stems, it was obvious that this was a new plant.

"But why is it in our room..." Ding Xiang murmured, and suddenly thought of something, "The door was not closed when we came out for dinner. Maybe it was at that time..."

She looked around her room: "Maybe someone came in at that time."

As for who that person was, it was self-evident. When the players were having dinner, only Yang Hanhai was missing.

[Damn, this trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain is really well played. First, the player's key is stolen, and then sneaking in to set a death trap]

[Why go through so much trouble? Can't you just kill him? ]

[NPCs must also abide by the dungeon rules, and only those who trigger the death conditions can be killed]

[Is there any NPC that can ignore the dungeon rules?]

[That kind is not called NPC, it is called creator]

[Don’t think about it. No matter who you are, once you enter a dungeon, you must follow the rules of the dungeon. It’s the same even if a developer comes.]

……

"Go back to sleep," Haixi said leisurely, "We still have five days."

Yes, they still have five days, but the death of their teammates has made every second feel like a year.

When the players returned to their respective rooms, the first thing they did was to check whether their water outlets were blocked by unknown objects.

Zhan Caichun's body was still lying on the ground. Ding Xiang silently mopped the bloodstains on the ground, and Song Guicheng silently helped her beside her.

"Song Guicheng, I don't think it was Yang Hanhai who stole the key." Ding Xiang suddenly said.

Song Guicheng didn't expect her to say that, although he also vaguely felt something was wrong: "Why do you say that?"

"If he wanted to steal the key, he could have just not given it to us in the first place and just opened the door for us at night. Why bother with all this?" Ding Xiang stopped what she was doing.

"And why did our room have to be robbed? It's obviously not the closest room to him."

Her analysis was well-reasoned and Song Guicheng nodded repeatedly.

Opening the door cannot be considered a condition for death. If it were, as long as Yang Hanhai held the key and secretly opened the players' doors at night, all the players could be caught in one fell swoop. Why bother with so much trouble?

He just took advantage of the fact that Dingxiang and the others' door was not closed and sneaked in, but how could he be sure that someone would fall into the trap he set?

Song Guicheng felt very confused and asked out loud.

Ding Xiang raised the corners of her lips and smiled sadly: "You can't avoid these things just by wanting to. Even if you don't touch them, they will come to you on their own."

It took the two of them some effort to clean up the blood, but there was nothing they could do with the body, so they had to leave it in the bathroom for the time being.

Dingxiang did not show any excessive fear. She looked like a weak little girl, but she was actually quite strong mentally.

"Be careful when you are alone." Song Guicheng warned her before leaving.

Ding Xiang smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, you too, protect yourself."

Song Guicheng went to bed with a heavy heart. Although he had just experienced a multiplayer instance, he already understood

——Once the drama of death begins, it will never stop.
