I Wasn't Born Lucky

There are few people on the roadside of the small town at night, and almost no one goes out to set up supper stalls - at least not on the road that Xiao Li passed by, which made him quite disappointed.

Only street lamps, night wind, falling leaves, and their shadows accompany them.

Passing a certain crossroad where the street lights shine brightest, Xiao Li looked at the traffic light on the opposite side, while thinking about the supper stall downstairs when he used to live with his mother, while looking down at the shadow in front of him, he was dazed for a while .

The night wind blew into his eyes, and a piece of moonlight fell.

But soon, before the red light on the opposite side turned green, Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, because his shadow moved without any movement of his own.

The pure black shadow was originally reflected in front of him to the right, but the shadow's hand stretched to the left, and the place where its arm stopped happened to catch Xiao Li's hand.

From the junction of the person and the shadow, it looks like the shadow is holding Xiao Li's hand intimately.

Xiao Li: "..."

Although he didn't have the real feeling of being held, the sudden presence of his shadow made him pull out his arm subconsciously.

The shadow paused for a moment, knowing that Xiao Li had noticed, the figure stretched directly, turning into the shadow of an adult man, much taller than Xiao Li.

It persevered and moved again, and directly reached out to wrap Xiao Li's shoulder.

Xiao Li took a big step to the right, out of the range of the shadow.

The shadow no longer followed Xiao Li step by step, it stayed where it was, as if a little lost.

Luo Dian was originally side by side with Xiao Li. She cared about her only remaining teammate, Han Jin, and waited absently for the traffic lights, so she didn't notice the shadows of the people around her. When she saw Xiao Li was far away from her, she immediately thought of ghosts: "What happened?" ?”

Xiao Li said calmly, "It's okay, the street lights over there are too dazzling."

Rodian: "..."

For some unknown reason, she really looked up at the street lamp, and silently took a step back.

Just then, the traffic lights changed from red to green.

Xiao Li and Luo Dian continued to walk forward, his shadow was left in place, but soon, the shadow returned to his feet, but this time it was no longer in the shape of a man, but changed back to Xiao Li. Synchronized look.

He can probably guess who this shadow is, except for little Huang Ben, probably no ghost would be so boring.

The boy turned his wrist, and suddenly opened his mouth to break the silence: "Rodian, what was the other secret you told me when you asked for help?"

Luo Dian struggled for a while, should she tell Xiao Li now? According to her idea, she wanted to wait until she was able to complete the task and survived, but seeing how Xiao Li treated the ghost, it seemed that clearing the level was a very simple matter... …

The girl quickly made up her mind: "It's okay to tell you now, I believe you won't do something like cross the river and tear down the bridge."

Xiao Li waited for her to continue.

Rodian said: "Moriarty, you should also see that I have a lot of props on me. These props are the key to my survival. They are brought out from a previous dungeon. It is a special dungeon that requires Only an invitation letter from a pirate can go up, I exchanged it with [-] mission points from the market, the person who sold it to me didn’t know its value, the name of the island is 'Treasure Island'."

"There are ghosts guarding the treasure on it, but they will ask the islanders three questions. As long as you answer each question correctly, you can get a treasure from all the treasures on the island. When I went up, I and Wang Huai, That is to say, the second person on the leaderboard is now in line, not only did he get three treasures, but he also exploited a loophole in the rules, which tripled the number of treasures that can be taken away, and I also benefited from it."

Xiao Li: "Wang Huai..."

"Yes, that was the only time I met him, and his whereabouts have always been erratic." Rodian looked at Xiao Li, and continued, "This is another secret I mentioned."

Xiao Li nodded sharply: "I see."

"Or I can give you some additional news." Rodian saw Xiao Li's potential, and she wanted to take the initiative to build a good relationship with him, so she said proactively.

"what?"

Rodian: "The hottest news among reincarnators is... the opening of the dungeon world is only regional."

"……area?"

"Yes, you are not curious. Why are all the teammates in the same country in the dungeons we queued up? That is because the dungeons are currently closed. If you travel abroad and are pulled into the dungeon abroad, you The dungeon in that foreign region will be queued - this news was revealed by people in foreign countries on the forum. Recently, this phenomenon has become more and more common, so we are all discussing it. In the end, the global fusion dungeon will definitely be opened. These dungeons The ghosts in the game will also be further upgraded."

Xiao Li thought for a while, and even looked forward to it: "I see."

Luo Di'an took a few more glances at him, but she really didn't see any panic on Xiao Li's face, she sighed in her heart: "The boss is the boss, don't be shocked."

The girl continued: "In addition to this news, there are also some newcomers who have been in the limelight recently. There is a guy named Sherlock who has been mentioned a lot in the recent forums. It is said that his methods are cruel, just like the cold winter. He is very happy, and he acts strangely, and he always makes people want to roar when they meet, even the people on the leaderboard have been tricked by him, even I am a little curious."

Xiao Li: "...Really."

He wondered if there was another person with the same name as him—how could he be cruel? !Isn't he always very friendly?

Luo Dian is good at communication, and wanted to exchange some information with Xiao Li again, but a surprise call came from the opposite side - "Captain!"

Rodian immediately raised his head and saw Han Jin running towards her, he also ran two steps forward: "Ah Jin!"

Compared to the excitement of the two of them, Ye Zeqing came over at a steady pace, and looked at Xiao Li as a greeting.

The four of them stood together, and Han Jin told Xiao Li about everything that happened on their side very quickly, and finally gave his own conclusion: "I think that girlfriend has something to hide, but I'm not sure if it's true There is a problem."

Ye Zeqing had been letting Han Jin finish, but at this moment he suddenly interjected: "There is one more thing, when I was standing at the door asking her, I once wanted to let the little devil go in and search her room, but it didn't work, there is a kind of Power kept my imp from her house."

Han Jin turned his head dumbfounded: "Why didn't you tell me?!"

Ye Zeqing said indifferently: "What's the use of telling you, you're not Moriarty."

Han Jin: "..."

Ye Zeqing then said to Xiao Li: "Why don't you go and ask her?"

Xiao Li vetoed his proposal: "No need, you find a brat downstairs with her. She will go out tomorrow at the latest, today at the earliest. You can know the truth she is hiding by watching where she goes."

"Ah?" Ye Zeqing was stunned for a moment, "Why?"

Xiao Li: "When a person who wants to hide the truth is suddenly exposed by a stranger who is investigating the matter, the first thing she will do is to check whether the original clues have been completely destroyed. You asked her about Chen Meiyou's leg injury , is already a hint that we have her clues, and she will be very impatient after making sure you are not downstairs, most likely rushing to destroy the clues overnight."

Ye Zeqing muttered, "Now...?"

He recited a mantra silently, the little ghost tattoo on his arm flowed down from his fingers, and followed Ye Zeqing's intention to swim towards Chen Meiyou's best friend's house.

"Okay, it will follow that person and give me feedback, then shall we wait?" Ye Zeqing asked.

Xiao Li said "En?", "Isn't the next thing going to sleep?"

Ye Zeqing: "..."

Xiao Li was not in a hurry, but Luo Dian didn't think so. They had already received the fourth ghost call, and the countdown on their arms had become less and less. There was only a thin line between them and death. When it came to the truth behind it—maybe it wasn't necessarily the truth, and how could they sleep if they were at a loss about how to lift the curse?

Han Jin said anxiously: "But, Moriarty, we don't have time, why don't we..."

He also got stuck in the end, and Han Jin had no direction to pursue, but his life was at stake, so he was anxious.

"It will be fine. You can wait for the news from Yan Luo. According to her reaction when you questioned her, she is not a person who can endure. She should have a response in a short while." Xiao Li said briefly.

Han Jin had no choice but to cast his anxious eyes on Ye Zeqing.

-

They returned to the house that Rodian had rented.

Xiao Li didn't go to sleep right away, although he was indeed a little sleepy, but he took out a small yellow notebook from his arms, and wrote again: "Shadow?"

Thinking about it carefully, since Xiao Huang Ben, the copy of the hospital, has seen his emergency department, it seems that the frequency of harassing him has decreased a lot, but at the same time, Xiao Huang Ben almost no longer appears in human form—a cat for a while, After a while it was a shadow again, is this shy?

Xiao Li propped his chin in thought.

Xiao Huangben's response was quick. It didn't hide anything about Xiao Li's question, and quickly showed: 【The shadow is very good, it is one of the creatures closest to you. 】

Xiao Li: "...I think you are quite close to me, in my pocket."

Xiao Huang Ben: [This is different. 】

[The pocket is separated by a layer, I don't like that feeling, I want to get close to you without hindrance, even clothes can't be a hindrance between us, we are one, like a pair of lovers. 】

[Shadow has hands, it can hold you, hug you, and kiss you. 】

Xiao Li looked at the jargon, and suddenly remembered the strangeness in his hair in the dance room of the college. At that time, he thought it was rubbed against something. Now that he thinks about it, it is very likely that it is the shadow of Xiao Huangben.

He recalled here that Xiao Huangben had already begun to wander in his fantasy: [Actually, being a cat is also very good, it can lie in your arms, you will take the initiative to hug me, and I can lick you, but there will always be cats. Inconvenient place. 】

[The shadow can follow you to the ends of the earth, but it can only approach you when you don't know it, and it can't be upright like a cat. 】

[I'm looking for a way to have both. 】

Xiao Li asked the question deep in his soul: "...Why did you exclude being a human being from all options?"

——Little Huang Ben, can’t you be a human being? !
