A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

"That building looks similar to the library at first glance, but there are many subtle differences," Xiao Fengdi said. "The biggest difference is that the name written on the sign at the entrance is 'Fengyue Town History museum'."

"Bo... Museum?"

For a moment, Fang Shiqing thought he was telling a joke. In Fengyue Town, where the slap is bigger, there is only a thin book of town chronicles for decades, and there are no places of interest or historical heritage. How could it be possible to open a... history museum?

But Xiao Fengdi's attitude is very serious.

"Yes, it's the museum. There is a set of armor on the left and right of its entrance, which looks very similar to the ones that attacked me before. Although I don't know if they can move, but at that time I didn't have the leeway to take the risk again."

So he just glanced at it from a distance, and then made up his mind to leave the northeast corner of the town.

It was dark at that time, and the doors and windows of every house were closed.And as he walked all the way west, there were more and more ghosts shaking around him. It was difficult for him to persist in his state at that time. Seeing the danger level rising sharply, the only safe place he could think of at that time was also There was only the farm cottage where he had once erected the barrier with his own hands.

"So, why do you have to climb the roof? Isn't it better to just knock on the door?"

Hearing this, Fang Shiqing couldn't help complaining again.

Speaking of which, they were teammates who had lived and died together, so there was nothing to avoid, why would he rather climb to the roof covered in blood than knock on the door!

"...If there is a next time," Xiao Fengdi hesitated, then said, "If there is a next time, I will do this."

Unexpectedly, he would get such a straight answer, Fang Shiqing was stunned for a moment, feeling a little happy in his heart, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

After figuring out Xiao Fengdi's experience last night, the questions in front of him not only did not decrease, but increased.But at least one thing is certain: there is indeed a big problem at the construction site.

According to his description, after he came out of the building, the surroundings were completely changed. Not only the direction of the building door changed, the appearance of the construction site changed, even the name of the library changed.It's almost like—

"Boss, don't you think..." Fang Shiqing thought about it and said, "You might have accidentally entered the dungeon last night?"

The dungeon is a separate map that exists independently of the main game map. In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to call it a "parallel world" derived from the game, which perfectly matches the "similar but different" situation he experienced.

"I guess, it should be like this," Fang Shiqing said after sorting out his thoughts while brainstorming, "If you really opened a new dungeon last night, then the map of the dungeon this time is probably that building.

"Isn't your library quite close to that building? Probably the construction sound you hear every night is the dungeon entrance prompt given by the game system, in order for you to investigate the situation and open the entrance."

According to the announcement, the entrance to the dungeon requires the player to be at a specific location and at a specific time to trigger it.It seems that Xiao Fengdi happened to be within this "specific position" this time, and Zeng Xin, who was also very close, could not hear the sound because the mayor's house happened to be outside the trigger range.

This is just his guess, but it can indeed explain the previous vision.

"Well," Xiao Fengdi lowered his eyes, "I'm going to check the bulletin board and then go back to the library."

If he did trigger the dungeon at that time, then the content of the announcement should have been updated, and the library should have returned to normal—after all, this is the main map, not the inside of the dungeon.

"Ah, wait for me, I'll go with you—"

"No need," Xiao Fengdi walked out as he said, and waved his backhand at him, "You should still have something to do, right? You should do your work first, see you later."

——Fang Shiqing couldn't refute.He had been standing at the door and talking to people early in the morning, and he hadn't done any routine work on the farm. It is estimated that the chickens in the chicken coop were already hungry enough to crow.

When he finally finished his work and ran to the square, he saw that all the other players had gathered in front of the bulletin board, with different expressions; only Xiao Fengdi was missing.

"A new dungeon has been opened," You Qingyu asked immediately upon seeing him, "Have you seen Brother Xiao?"

Fang Shiqing ran forward while responding, and as expected, there was a row of eye-catching blood-red fonts on the announcement.

"The entrance to the second instance has been opened! The instance countdown: 98:47:24, the instance trigger player: Xiao Fengdi."

"Brother Xiao, is he alright?" Zeng Xin looked bewildered, "Is it related to that building...the building under construction?"

"It's okay, I saw him this morning, and he's still fine." Fang Shiqing quickly comforted him.

He simply relayed the previous situation and Xiao Fengdi's experience last night.

Except for him and Zeng Xin, no one knew anything about the building under construction. Even after listening to his explanation, they still found it a bit unbelievable.

"It's true, you guys also encountered such a weird situation, why didn't you tell us when we met yesterday? Let us know in advance, so that we can take care of each other. It's too dangerous to go directly to the scene by yourself." After listening After that, Zhao Jun frowned.

Fang Shiqing just felt baffled.Although Zhao Jun's call was considered caring, and the meaning in his words was even similar to what he had said to Xiao Fengdi before, but—probably because they didn't know each other well enough, it always felt weird to talk shallow and deep. of.

You Qingyu said coldly: "You can tell brother Xiao directly, what's the use of telling him."

"It looks like we're going to enter the dungeon again tonight," Gu Jinhong changed the subject in a timely manner, "Do you need to make some preparations in advance? Time is limited, so it's not too late, should we go now?"

This is a serious topic, and the two over there immediately stopped talking.

"Not to mention anything else, I must buy a lot of healing medicines for preparation this time," He Xiangwu said with a bitter face, "Don't you think the monsters in this dungeon sound tough? Even Brother Xiao was seriously injured , I am like this, wouldn’t I be cut in half with a knife.”

After he said this, everyone fell silent.

After having the experience of the first dungeon, everyone has an understanding of the crisis degree of the dungeon.The ghost in the mirror in the previous dungeon would not kill directly anyway, but this time the armored monster is obviously more difficult to deal with, it sounds like a pure killing machine.

If he was really stabbed——

"Let's think about it later," Fang Shiqing scratched his hair and said, "It's useless to worry so much now, we have to make money."

"Speaking of which, can't we buy some weapons?"

You Qingyu seems to have not gotten rid of the shadow of the last dungeon, and he is still very disturbed when he mentions this matter, "It seems that the dungeon doesn't stipulate that we can only run away and not fight back. If we can get reliable weapons... don't ask for something like " Survival Crisis" can also use guns, and some cold weapons that are handy are also fine."

"Even if you have a weapon, would you know how to use it?"

"..."

You Qingyu was speechless, and several people looked at each other.

We are all ordinary citizens living in modern times. We can't even touch the edge of the control knife. How can we use it?It can be said that even if an RPG rocket launcher falls from the sky, they can only catch it blind.

"Well... let's not talk about this, let's make a list, and I'll go shopping," Zeng Xin offered after a while of silence, "When I helped the mayor buy office supplies a few days ago, I took the grocery store The favorability of the NPC is quite high, and you can get a [-]% discount on shopping."

According to the previous experience, this time I will probably have to spend the night in the dungeon again.The few people agreed to meet here again in the evening, and then go back to ask for leave or deal with work——

Even if you might die in the dungeon, you must be prepared to come out alive before entering.

When the crowd dispersed, Xiao Fengdi still did not appear.

Fang Shiqing was a little worried, so he ran directly to the library.

The library still looks the same as usual, nothing has changed at all, and the sign at the door says "Fengyue Town Library" well.He stood outside and looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt that the shape design of this building was really like a museum.

If you avoid the front sign and take a photo and show it to others, more than half of the people will think that this is a museum.

——Is there any special meaning in this?

He went in and looked around, and found Xiao Fengdi in the reading room.

Xiao Fengdi just climbed down from the high bookshelf, holding an old hardcover book in his hand, his expression looked a little heavy, which made him a little nervous.

"Boss, you..."

Xiao Fengdi directly handed him the notebook in his hand.

"I investigated the history of that building and found out its background." He explained simply, "I'm going to prepare something, you should take a look at this first, and call me after you finish."

After speaking, he went back to the lounge and closed the door.Fang Shiqing guessed that he might have to draw some spells or something.

He sat down next to the reading room, opened the book, and found that it turned out to be a newspaper clipping.

Newspaper clippings are actually a sorting book that cuts out relevant newspaper articles and pastes them in one place for easy reference at any time.Modern people rely more on the Internet to read news, and there are not many people who read newspapers. It is quite fresh to see such a copy once in a while.

This notebook is really old, and the clippings in it are all news from more than ten years ago.Fang Shiqing took a look and thought it was something similar to "Summary of the Development of Fengyue Town". It was full of news about the addition of certain facilities in the town and the increase in the town's population by a few percent.

He turned a few pages back and saw three news items posted side by side.

The article on the left is to the effect that the first shopping mall will be built in Fengyue Town to facilitate the daily life of the townspeople.Fang Shiqing took a closer look, and suddenly his heart was lifted: Isn't the location of the shopping mall written in the article near the current mayor's house?

The article in the middle was very short, and it turned out to be a mobilization draft calling on the townspeople to donate their collections to the "Fengyue Town History Museum" for exhibition.

...There really was a museum in this town?

He looked at the article on the right again, and found that it turned out to be a report on a criminal case.

- "Construction Worker Murders Colleague".

The article was written very briefly, to the effect that a tragedy happened in a shopping mall under construction. After investigation, a certain worker had a dispute with a colleague, and with resentment in his heart, he secretly asked him out and killed him.

Unfortunately, the scene of the crime happened to be seen by the architect who went to see the situation, and the prisoner pushed the architect down the stairs without doing anything.
