Help, I've become a paper man

The old man showed him an old photo, which was obviously quite old. The item he was looking for was indeed on it, but the specific details could not be seen clearly. It could be seen that it was in a hand, held in the palm of the hand. Song Yi looked at it more carefully, but could only vaguely distinguish the shape based on the outline. It should be a small jewelry box, less than the size of a fist.

This guess was "confirmed" more vaguely after questioning. The old man was sure that it was a box, but said he "couldn't remember" what was in it. He only told Song Yi to bring it back directly after finding it and not to open it.

Song Yi raised his eyebrows, stopped eyeing the old man, and walked into the door without hesitation. The interest that had just arisen had subsided.

He was sure that his feeling was correct. Either there was something wrong with the NPC or the mission. In such a big castle, finding such a small thing was a group activity. However, with the reminder of "don't open it"... it felt like "Bluebeard's Room".

The old man is trying to trick them into opening the items, but maybe he is doing it on purpose, creating this speculation to alert the players and prevent them from doing so.

Song Yi didn't care. He had another guess, which he was not in a hurry to verify. He needed more information to prove it. However, all these thoughts quickly dissipated after he stepped into the castle.

What appeared in front of him was a dim corridor with a damp and musty smell, as if something was rotting, and he could also smell dust blowing in his face. With the help of excellent vision, Song Yi could clearly see that the light following behind him fell on the ground, illuminating the dust raised by his footsteps. It was not overwhelming, not because of the small amount, but because the dust was too thick and heavy, and it was closer to a "surging" trend, which made him tremble and almost retreat back.

This time, what stopped him was the familiar sound of breaking air.

Song Yi subconsciously turned sideways and saw the bullet flying past him. He heard the sound of his own heartbeat and the infinite firepower began to work. Before his thoughts could react, he followed the ongoing action and simply turned his head. The body that reacted first had already taken action, and this time the gunshot came from him.

The aiming and shooting were done in one go, and the response was a scream. The splattered blood fell, covering the dust that had just risen, and was then trampled underfoot in the messy footsteps.

There was not only one person rushing over. The person in the front was already in front of him. He had no intention of attacking and passed by Song Yi. His speed was so fast that his clothes were pulled up and flew backwards. Several people followed closely behind him, and Song Yi had no time to distinguish them carefully.

Before that, he had to face the reality. First, he made an effective counterattack. Secondly, he seemed to be in trouble. Finally...what's wrong with this guy!

The man passing by him suddenly reached out, grabbed Song Yi's arm, and pulled him forward with such force that he almost threw him to the ground. It was all thanks to Song Yi's timely reaction that he was able to turn around with the help of the pulling force. In the first few seconds, he jumped on one foot to catch up with the other person's pace.

At the same time, Song Yi also reacted. It was not that someone suddenly attacked him, but that this brother was being chased and a stray bullet just happened to pass by, and he subconsciously fought back. In this situation, Song Yi couldn't help but shout out.

"Brothers behind me, it was an accidental injury, no need to be so enthusiastic! We were hunting each other as soon as we met! I don't know this guy!"

Song Yi shouted happily, but did not forget to pull back his hand and prepare for defense. However, the man cooperated and let go of him. Not only did he not attack, he did not even stop Song Yi from keeping distance, which made him seem a little petty.

But this man did not speak. Instead, he replied first among the chasing crowd, saying loudly: "Okay, we believe you. You step aside and we won't hurt you!"

The credibility is not high.

Song Yi sighed and was about to speak again to talk to everyone, but a road had come to a corner. The castle was big enough, but it was limited to this. A choice appeared in front of them.

He originally thought that he would let them play chase from the stairs up, or that they would have a fight after he stopped, but he didn't expect that there was a third option, such as...

When the man jumped out of the window, he reached out and grabbed his collar, and without saying a word, dragged him out. He was caught off guard and subconsciously followed the other person's movements, supporting himself on the windowsill with one hand and jumped out as well.

In front of him was a messy bush, behind him was a loud roar and the pursuers were shouting.

"You are innocent, you are obviously in the same group!"

Song Yi also shouted: "No, brother, if you want to run, just run. Why are you dragging me?"

This sound had some effect. The man lowered his head and finally turned his gaze to Song Yi. He shook his head slightly at him without saying anything.

Song Yi subconsciously raised his arm and slapped the other person's hand away, but he had to face the reality. There was no need to explain now, so he just started running.

His legs were long enough, and the man was even better. The two of them had a good pace, moving among the bushes and flowers. They lost track of their pursuers several times, but were quickly caught up again. However, this was the first time Song Yi had encountered such a situation since waking up in this model. It was not that he was being chased, which was a common occurrence. What surprised him was... this man was actually a head taller than him. Even in a world like this, such a height ratio was relatively rare. At least this was the first time Song Yi had encountered one, and it was estimated to be more than two meters tall.

If it was misunderstanding upon misunderstanding at the beginning and it was too troublesome to explain, Song Yi cooperated with the action, but the time was different now. The two of them had been running away together for more than five minutes. Now, Song Yi was crushed in speed. The two of them flipped back into the room from the outdoors, and ran from the first floor to the second floor. Song Yi's heartbeat had quickened, but the other party still looked calm, which aroused Song Yi's competitive spirit. His pace also quickened, and he seemed to be competing with them.

The other party remained silent, but after realizing his behavior, he quietly caught up with him at a faster speed. While being chased, the two of them also engaged in a speed competition. Unknowingly, they had actually put some distance between themselves and the pursuer, and the crisis was temporarily resolved.

Song Yi couldn't help but ask: "Why are they chasing you?"

The man replied: "Items."

Song Yi asked again: "Is it the one that the NPC asked you to find?"

The man then replied: “No.”

So Song Yi said lightly: "Oh, that's not an important thing, give it to them, it's no big deal."

He said it so casually that the sturdy man who had just chased him was stunned. He asked while running: "Wait... Ahem, wait, is this yours?"

Song Yi kept walking, distanced himself from the other party, and said lightly: "Of course not, that's why I'm generous to others."
