This NPC really has a problem

It was cold and windy, and Mr. Lu tightened the coat he put on temporarily.

He asked calmly, "What's the matter with you?"

Bai Tuanzi took a step forward.Her eyes were a little red, and she said pitifully, "Hi, we are tourists traveling in the mountains. We didn't expect such a heavy snowfall all of a sudden. Do you know where the way down the mountain is?"

Mr. Lu said: "It usually takes three or four hours to walk down the mountain from here. In this kind of weather, you probably won't be able to walk down the mountain."

Bai Tuanzi bit her lower lip: "Excuse me...can you take us in for a night?"

In fact, Mr. Lu should have hesitated for a while. Letting people into the house casually would make him seem too unsuspecting.But Mr. Lu is very sleepy now, he doesn't want to go to bed until after eleven o'clock tonight.So Mr. Lu turned his body sideways and said, "Yes, you can come in."

The young people looked at each other in astonishment, but Mr. Lu had already entered the door.

The unscrupulous young man was speechless: "Can the plot change?"

"Let's go." The black-rimmed glasses gave him a pull.Four people entered the room one after another, and the gentle scum who was at the end closed the door with his backhand, stepped back after taking half a step, and checked whether it was closed tightly.

Bai Tuanzi's appearance is pure and sweet, which can arouse a man's desire to protect.She raised a harmless smile and wanted to talk to Mr. Lu, but Mr. Lu went straight to the kitchen and brought half a plate of biscuits on the table.

"The biscuits just baked for dinner." Mr. Lu pointed, "If you are hungry, you can eat some."

He stood there thinking, feeling that something was missing.

Oh, black tea.

But tonight, Mr. Lu was too sleepy to make tea. He put the teapot on the table and said briefly, "Hot water."

It's all right, drink plenty of water.

"There are two guest rooms on the third floor. You can live there. Everything inside is clean and you can use it directly." Mr. Lu picked up the novel on the coffee table and felt that he could retire with success. "I went upstairs to rest. Remember to put out the fire when you leave the living room."

The four "travelers" stood dumbfounded, confused by what Mr. Lu said.

It wasn't until Mr. Lu was about to disappear at the end of the stairs that the black-framed glasses chased after him as if he had just woken up from a dream and asked, "That...is there anything else that needs attention?"

Mr. Lu remembered his lines this time, and he turned around and said, "If you're staying overnight in the mountains, don't open the door to anyone after midnight and until the next bell rings."

The sound of footsteps faded away.

The living room was dead silent.

After a long time, someone couldn't hold back and complained: "...there is something wrong with this NPC, right?"

Mr. Lu, an NPC who didn't seem quite right no matter how he looked, crawled into the bed contentedly, thinking that he could have a good night's sleep tonight.Hopefully his living room and his guests will be all right when he comes downstairs tomorrow morning.

But it's really strange, Mr. Lu thought, what was the "thing" that entered his house last night?Why didn't he feel any fear or surprise when he saw such a scene during the day?

Mr. Lu's thoughts were a little confused, the more he tried to think, the more messed up his mind became.

Finally, he fell asleep with a messy mind.

……

The howling cold wind carried snowflakes against the glass windows, forming a shallow layer of icicles outside the windows.

Bai Tuanzi breathed out lightly, and a layer of white mist covered the window.She stretched out her long, white fingers and drew a smiling face on it.However, the drops of water slid down the window, and there were a few more tear stains under the "eyes".That face was crying and laughing, it's completely weird when you think about it.

Bai Tuanzi frowned and wiped away that face.She lay on the window sill and looked out of the window, but the icy window was not clear, even though it was dark outside, she couldn't see anything.

"Bai Zhu," the black-rimmed glasses called her from behind, "Do you have any thoughts on what happened yesterday?"

"Can you have any ideas?" Bai Zhu said casually, "I was tricked by an unreliable NPC and gave the head to the boss who knocked on the door in the middle of the night."

"This game is so difficult," the black-framed glasses said in frustration, "It would be great if there is a strategy."

Bad snorted: "What's the point of watching the strategy game? This is the first internal test, and everyone has signed the agreement. If there is a strategy leak, it will be a matter of the public beta."

"The NPC named 'Lu Ren' doesn't know if it's a bug or what's going on. Yesterday and today's performance is completely different," the gentle scum mused, "Although it's normal for the game to have bugs, let alone internal During testing, but I always feel that the games produced by Phylion Network will not be so simple..."

Bad news raised his voice and said: "Bai Zhu, isn't this game produced by your family? Do you know how to pass the level?"

"I know," Bai Zhu said calmly, "Didn't you tell the clearance conditions when you entered the game? Finding the key is regarded as clearance. After collecting all six keys, you can unlock the ultimate dungeon and find out the truth behind the City of Reflections turning into a dead city." Then clear the entire game."

"That's not what I asked—"

Bai Zhu left the window abruptly, Bu Bu was startled by her sudden movement, and the second half of the words got stuck in his throat.

"What's wrong?" The bad guy was at a loss.

"There seems to be something outside the window." Bai Zhu's face was not very good-looking, "I can't see it clearly, maybe I saw it wrong...or maybe it was something from yesterday."

There was a sudden silence in the living room.

Although the bloody scenes in the game have been dealt with, and their pain is only 1% of the actual pain, this is still an R20 holographic horror game after all, and the experience of group destruction last night was a bit of a mental blow to them.

After a while, the bad guy cursed in a low voice, got up and went to the window to look out.He wiped the window indiscriminately, but the icicles were all on the outside, and his cleaning of the glass inside could not make the scene outside clearer.

The bad guy stared until his eyes were sore.

"I didn't see anything..." Buyou said uncertainly, "Could you be mistaken?"

"Maybe." Bai Zhu said so, but his tone didn't seem to think so.

She tapped on the window sill thoughtfully. Although she didn't get any inside information, she still knew how well her games were doing.The lethal condition for opening the door at midnight was definitely not set for no reason.

"Let's watch until midnight today and see what happens," she suggested.

……

Mr. Lu didn't get a good night's sleep until the next morning.

When the bell rang, he was awakened again, even more sober than last night.

How did my sleep become light.Mr. Lu thought distressedly, and turned over in the bed.

After the bell stopped, there were vague voices from downstairs.Mr. Lu is very puzzled, it's already this time, are his guests still not asleep?

Although the sound insulation effect of the hut is not good, it is not enough for the sleepy Mr. Lu to hear the small human voice downstairs.He shrank back and pulled the quilt over his head.

It's nice to be quiet.

This time, Mr. Lu got his wish and slept until eight o'clock the next day.

The pace of life in the mountains is very slow, especially when the mountains are covered by heavy snow, looking out the window at the seemingly endless snow, sometimes you can spend the whole day by the fireplace with nothing to do.After tidying himself upstairs, Mr. Lu slowly went downstairs.

There were already four people sitting on the sofa in the living room, and his guests were neatly arranged, but this time they were all panting.

Mr. Lu glanced at the blue and black under their eyes, and asked suspiciously: "Did you not rest yesterday?"

Obviously there is no rest, for example, Bai Tuanzi is about to fall asleep with his eyes open.

The gentle scum smiled reluctantly: "Mr. Lu, good morning, we stayed late in the living room yesterday, someone knocked on the door after twelve o'clock, the one outside..."

He hesitated for a moment before continuing awkwardly: "The 'person' who knocked on the door seems to be not quite right."

Mr. Lu let out a "huh" and said, "It doesn't have to be a human being."

The guests looked at him expectantly, and even Bai Tuanzi, who seemed almost useless from sleepiness, struggled to sit up straight, but after Mr. Lu said that, he turned and went to the kitchen.

Mr. Lu is a very time conscious person, he should make breakfast at this time.

Guests: "???"

The bad face is unbelievable: "Is there really no problem with the design of this NPC?!"

Just, apart from not being able to open the door after midnight, no clues are given?

Bai Zhu stood up expressionlessly, followed Mr. Lu to the kitchen.The door of Mr. Lu's kitchen was half open. Hearing footsteps behind him, he looked back in surprise.

"What does Mr. Lu want to do?" Bai Zhui smiled at the corners of his eyes and brows at this moment, "I can cook, so let me help you."

Mr. Lu nodded, and asked Bai Zhu to follow him into the kitchen.

Mr. Lu opened the locker to look for ingredients, and said to Bai Zhu: "I'm going to make some bread, red bean stuffing, and then heat some milk. Do you have anything else you want to eat?"

Mr. Lu did not hear the answer.

He asked again: "Miss Bai?"

Bai Zhu came back to his senses, and quickly responded: "The bread is very good."

It is really difficult to maintain a smile on his face. After entering the kitchen, Bai Zhu took a quick glance, and the smile on his face froze.

Most of the space on the first floor is occupied by the living room, and the kitchen area is very small.The small kitchen is well-equipped, and there are some things that don't fit in the kitchen.

There are two rows of knives in the kitchen, one row is obviously a prop for processing ingredients, and the other row... may also be knives for processing ingredients.

It's just that the ingredients processed by the latter seem to be a bit large in size, maybe they are a bit like her.The blades of that row of knives were thin and sharp, and there were appalling bleeding holes on the blades. Maybe it was because they were used too many times or they forgot to clean them. The bleeding holes were covered with dark red blood stains.

It would be normal for this kind of knife to appear in a slaughterhouse.

Bai Zhu was absent-mindedly washing the red beans, always feeling that Mr. Lu would pull out a knife and give her a knife in the next second.

correct.

She suddenly remembered something she had just overlooked.

They left without having time to introduce themselves last night, and her companions did not call her name in front of Mr. Lu.

So, Mr. Lu, how did he say "Miss Bai"?

The cold sweat came down in an instant.

"Miss Bai."

A hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed her wrist.
