Help, I've become a paper man

As they looked at each other, Song Yi smiled. When his anxiety grew, he caught a glimpse of something different in the other person's eyes. In addition to his appearance, another shadow appeared. Almost instantly, he turned the gun around without even turning his head, aimed at the monster attacking from behind, and pulled the trigger easily.

He dealt with the attack from behind with ease.

But Xuanyunduo lowered his eyes, and his awkwardness became more intense, which made Song Yi frown. He couldn't help but look around, suspecting that there were other dangers that he hadn't discovered yet.

Half a minute passed, and just when he was about to give up pretending and wanted to ask, Xuanyunduo spoke first and said:

“No need to adjust the share…”

"I came to participate in the dungeon not because you gave me a discount, but because I needed money and you were helping me. The reason I don't need to make any adjustments now is because... I have never played this dungeon before."

She said it with difficulty, as if she had made some kind of decision. Song Yi breathed a sigh of relief, retracted his gaze from observing the surroundings, and said lightly: "What's the big deal? It's our first time."

Xuanyunduo fell silent, looking at Song Yi hesitantly, as if she wanted to say something, but Song Yi in front of her was stubborn and didn't understand her emotions at all. He prioritized speeding up his pace, and without being sure about the monster's survival status, he chose to distance himself from it and stay away from the smoke-filled area.

"We have to live for four days." Xuanyunduo said, following Song Yi's footsteps and continued: "Your choice is correct. If the bad luck is due to taking the mission, we still need to survive for three days. Without knowing the extent of its impact, there is no way to ensure that safety is within a controllable range."

Song Yi nodded in understanding and said, "I understand. When fighting against monsters, you can still rely on your own efforts and have a chance to survive the fight. But luck is a rule-based thing. If your life hangs by a thread at the beginning, it's not certain that it will last."

Xuanyunduo breathed a sigh of relief. As they walked, they looked at each other again. After a brief gaze, they seemed to understand each other and spoke at the same time.

Song Yi said: "So, we won't take the mission."

Xuanyunduo said: "Let's test the impact of luck tomorrow."

After the words fell, they looked at each other again and fell into silence. For a moment, an awkward atmosphere spread between them.

A few seconds later, Song Yi said, "Let's combine our opinions, take the mission today, measure the change in our luck value, and then consider whether to take the mission tomorrow?"

Xuanyunduo said: "Okay, let's go observe in advance. If the intensity of the bad luck changes, it will be another clue that can help us make choices in the next two days."

The two hit it off immediately and changed direction, heading straight for the villa.

Song Yi's bomb was effective, and the monsters didn't catch up for a while. In addition, the two of them were moving forward at a fast speed, so they didn't encounter any attacks for a while. The comfortable Song Yi couldn't help but think that if the monsters' level remained unchanged in the next two days, it would be more appropriate not to accept the mission. But it was just a thought.

He was not the only one who had wild thoughts. The repetitive running at a speed that was not enough to sustain endurance made his mind run wild, not to mention that Xuanyunduo also had something on her mind. When they passed the "birthplace button", she was ready to confide her feelings to Song Yi.

"I can't see the relevant plot." Xuanyunduo said.

Song Yi exclaimed, "Ah!" and was about to ask, when he heard Xuanyunduo continue, "I am a strategy player. Sister Moli didn't lie. I sell information and accept employment. I rely on my talent, but this copy... I have never heard of it before, and now I can't see anything."

After she said this, Song Yi suddenly realized that the reason why he felt that Xuanyunduo was like a big boss in the previous copy was because this girl knew a lot and seemed to know a lot of details, as if she was playing a game with a guide. But even after saying this, Song Yi still had doubts, but there was something more important.

He first asked: "Because this comes from reality?"

Like an amusement park? Song Yi thought, feeling that he had touched something. Regarding the copy of the world, he had to admit that he had not explored this world very well. He had been running around, but he still knew very little about it. It seemed that everyone had a skill, and only told relevant people about one thing. He was not only a stardust, but also a "baby". He could receive too little information. It just so happened that he had not paid attention to it before, and now...

Xuanyunduo nodded first, then shook his head. After sighing, he said, "On the one hand, the real dungeons are more difficult to play. The key is that many dungeons involve living bosses or people related to them. Basically, they are not open to the public, so it is even less likely that information will be leaked."

"But not this time, I can't see the message on it, mostly because of you."

"In the last instance, I already noticed that you are the special one. You will affect the instance information I observed and even change it. This instance has been confirmed again. This is my fault. I failed in my duty."

After she finished speaking, no one spoke for a while. Song Yi remained silent. The air was exceptionally quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps. Xuan Duoduo, who had prepared herself mentally, became uneasy, until she heard the other party sigh.

Song Yi said: "So you are nervous about this."

Xuanyunduo said: "Yes..."

Song Yi said again: "I haven't downloaded this book either, so it doesn't matter. At least you are a professional and have more experience than me."

He said it easily and felt relieved at the same time. He finally understood why Xuanyunduo was acting weird in this copy. Therefore, he didn't notice that Xuanyunduo next to him was looking at him in a subtle way while relaxing.

This peaceful atmosphere lasted for another half a minute. When they got closer to the gate and the fog in front of them almost completely dissipated, the scene before them was not only speechless, but also made the two of them stop unconsciously. More monsters in black were blocking the way forward in front of the villa. Judging from their murderous posture, they certainly wouldn't be able to push them away with just their hands like they did yesterday.

But what really stopped the two of them was not only that, but also the scene in front of them. The familiar building had changed. Something was sticking out from the courtyard. It had a jelly-like texture and was still the same gray-black color. It was too large and covered the entire villa. Only its head and half of its arms could be seen outside the wall. This thing looked like a human being, as if it was sleeping with its head propped up. It only woke up leisurely when it sensed the arrival of Song Yi and the others.

It was difficult for Song Yi to describe the feeling at the moment. A huge human face appeared in the air. When this thing lowered its head across the wall, the impact was strong enough to make his muscles subconsciously tense. His hands were already holding the gun, ready to fight. But the next second, that thing opened its eyes, but there were no pupils, only empty eye sockets, looking straight at him, as if it was "looking at him". At the same time, a voice with an echo rang out, making his head dizzy.

"I need you to help me clean the pool," it said.

And Song Yi thought: Oh no, I’m going to become a cleaner simulator.
