This NPC really has a problem

Bai Zhu froze and let the startled Boss Lu hug him, feeling like a stiff salted fish.

An aura that didn't belong to him enveloped him, and Bai Zhu suddenly found that this aura was very familiar.

He had smelled it when he was sleeping on Mr. Lu's bed in the first copy.

It cannot be said to be a fragrance, but a clean smell that is not easy to detect.Bai Zhu discovered Lu Ren's homely nature very early on, and he always cleaned himself and his surroundings.

Nostrils fluttered, Bai Zhu subconsciously took a few sniffs, and when he realized what he had just done, he didn't even dare to breathe.

"Be careful." Unaware, Boss Lu hugged Bai Zhu and put him on his chair. After hesitating for a while, he whispered to him, "I'm not a child anymore. Be careful when climbing up and down."

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly left the counter and walked out the door.

Bai Zhu's soul seemed to be taken away, he looked up in a daze, and happened to see the wall clock on the wall.

The clock face shows the same time as Xiao Mengban fell from the building in the previous week.

Bai Zhu in a normal state could of course be aware of this, but at this moment he looked at the clock face as if lost in his soul, his mind went blank.

Chen Jin rushed out of the kitchen in a hurry and almost fell over when he saw Bai Zhu's appearance: "What hit you?"

After a while, Bai Zhu realized what Chen Jin said just now, and said in an erratic tone: "...it's okay."

The chef who was following Chen Jin ran out with a spatula in his hand, looked out the door with his head poking around, saw the corpse on the ground and shouted in horror: "He's dead!"

Chen Jin wanted to roll his eyes a little bit, you were the one who killed the last time, but this time you are scared.

He was at a loss right now, he stayed in the kitchen and stared at the chef, naturally he knew that the chef had no chance of killing anyone, so how did Xiao Mengban die this time?

Just as Chen Jin was thinking this way, he heard hurried footsteps, and Xu Yan rushed to the front.

Behind him was a group of Xiao Mengban's companions, Xu Yan stopped near the counter, and Xiao Mengban's companions ran out of the hotel.

Seeing Chen Jin looking at him, Xu Yan swore to the sky: "She definitely fell down by herself this time!"

……

Bai Zhu followed Xu Yan to their room in a daze.

After closing the door, Xu Yan rushed to the table and poured himself a glass of water, took a few sips before saying: "I have been paying attention to the movement of Xiao Mengban's room. She really didn't enter the room before and after she fell. The one came out a long time ago——she could only have fallen down by herself!"

Xu Yan said again: "And I found that the time when Xiao Mengban fell from the building twice is the same. Although I don't remember the exact time, I suspect that there is not a single minute and a second difference!"

Chen Jin said: "You mean that no matter what we do, Xiao Mengban will definitely repeat what happened when she died?"

Xu Yan said: "I think so."

"What do you think the people in Xiao Mengban's hotel are now?" Chen Jin asked, "Is it an afterimage of the past, or a ghost staying in the hotel?"

Xu Yan thought for a while: "I think both possibilities are quite strong."

Chen Jin has another opinion: "I think ghosts are more likely. Afterimages don't seem to have any self-awareness. It seems that they can only repeat what happened before, and there will be no change. You see What the NPCs said and did in our second episode has changed, it seems that they will change their lines according to the situation."

Xu Yan frowned and thought for a while.

"There are two main reasons for the change," he said after thinking for a while, "One is us, because we lived in the room on the top floor, so the allocation of rooms has changed compared to the first week. The second reason is It's Boss Lu, the big change in the plot this time is caused by Boss Lu not answering about the City of Reflections."

"But Boss Lu didn't talk about the City of Reflections, so he changed his beard." Chen Jin said, "Information about the City of Reflections is very important to players. Danyou's attempt to understand the City of Reflections and obtain answers is a must in this dungeon." There is a plot. This plot cannot be changed, so if Boss Lu does not answer, the system will automatically let another NPC take over."

Xu Yan understood what Chen Jin wanted to say: "Based on this, Xiao Mengban's falling from the building is also an indispensable plot. Even if we guard against someone who may kill her, she will fall down by herself without any harm."

Chen Jin asked: "If we tie up Xiao Mengban next week, can we survive?"

He acquiesced that they were completely cool in this dungeon.

Xu Yan slapped Bai Zhu: "Bai Zhu, what do you think?"

Bai Zhu said, "What should I do, I think I'm going to bend."

Xu Yan: "???"

I'm so looking forward to your opinion, you just tell me this?

Bai Zhubiao wanted to say: "I suddenly realized that Lu Ren is not only good-looking, but also such a nice person, gentle and considerate and homely. I really want to have an online relationship with him."

God damn online dating.

... Although falling in love in the game is indeed online dating.

Bai Zhu carefully planned: "The relationship is determined in the game, and he will continue the relationship after he comes out of the game warehouse... In a few years after I graduate, I can go directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a certificate."

Xu Yan couldn't believe it: "We just said so much and you are thinking about this?!"

Bai Zhu coughed, sat up straight and corrected his attitude.

"I have heard... I don't think Xiao Meng's half-death has nothing to do with us. The only condition for clearing the game is to obtain the key. Can we pass the level if Xiao Meng is half-dead? No, we must find the key."

"However," Bai Zhu made a turning point, "Our ultimate goal is to restore Lu Ren's memory. In fact, whether we can find the key or whether we can pass the customs is not very meaningful to us."

Chen Jin scratched his head: "There is no standard answer for people to restore memory, which is much more difficult than finding a key."

"Lu Ren has a high degree of acceptance of the world in the game, no matter how outrageous things happen to him, he thinks it is normal. I originally wanted to make him realize how unscientific the existence of ghosts is, but now Lu Ren Ren is not materialistic at all, maybe he thinks there is a problem if there are no ghosts..." Bai Zhu said, "So I thought of another way."

"The NPCs in the game seem to have their own memories and complex social identities, but compared with real people, their personalities are very thin. I don't believe that the development team will be free enough to compile a complete memory for NPCs from birth to adulthood, Therefore, there must be a huge gap in Lu Ren's memory as an NPC at this time, if that NPC is not particularly important in the game, the fault in memory will be more obvious."

Bai Zhu finally said: "Let Lu Ren realize that his memory problem is very serious, he may try to recall, and finally recall things in reality."

"When you say that, I suddenly had an idea," Xu Yan said, "assuming that everyone in this hotel except us is a ghost, and for some reason lost the memory of the day of death, and repeated the event of the day of death over and over again. , so can we remind the ghost that he is dead?"

Chen Jin asked: "Then we went to Boss Lu to talk about the past, and went to chat in front of other NPCs?"

Xu Yan nodded: "Just talk about the two of us, and let Bai Zhu talk about the past work...I didn't even have time to complain, Bai Zhu, how did you say it and then turned around?"

Bai Zhudao: "It's no matter what age, I can bend as much as I want."

"I don't really care about that," Xu Yan hesitated, "it's just... Lu Ren is really nice, but I've never seen you look at any man differently before, but there are quite a few girls who get close to you. I thought you would find girls when you fell in love in the future."

Bai Zhu complained: "What you said makes me look like a central air conditioner."

"Alas..." Xu Yan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. The friend who grew up together suddenly wanted to fall in love. "Professor Lu is a little older than you, and he must be much more mature. You have to work hard."

"I found Zeng Ge and asked him to help me change the image in the game." Bai Zhu knew that with Lu Ren's seriousness and seriousness, he couldn't put on the shell of this minor if he wanted to take him down.

After finishing speaking, Bai Zhuben wanted to ask his companions if they had any strategies for pursuing merit, when Chen Jin suddenly called out.

"What's wrong?" Both of them looked at him together.

"At this time..." Chen Jin hesitated, "Is something going to happen?"

The players all looked terrified.

Almost as soon as Chen Jin finished speaking, there was a faint movement downstairs.

The players looked at each other, and in an extremely tacit understanding, one ran to check the door lock and the other ran to turn off the light. The last one didn't go back to his room, just nestled in this room.

When Xiao Mengban asked who killed her, the three felt very delicate.

If it wasn't for being unable to make a sound, he might have started to complain to his heart's content.

Girl, you really fell by yourself this time.

……

Hearing the second sound of falling from a building tonight, and staying in the room for a while without any new movement, Boss Lu left the room silently. He collected all the knives he could find in the kitchen and sent To everyone in the hotel.

When handing it over to the young man who seemed to be interested in him, Boss Lu told him solemnly: "Protect yourself, don't turn on the lights, don't make noise, stay in the room and don't come out."

The boy looked at him worriedly.

Boss Lu smiled gently, as if telling him not to worry about himself.

When Boss Lu finally returned to his bedroom, he didn't have any knives in his hand, and he gave all the weapons for self-defense to others, so he was empty-handed.

Boss Lu opened the door of the study and locked it from the inside with a key.Boss Lu walked all the way in, until he came to the special cabinet.

The locker that could be locked from the inside, the best hiding place he could think of.

Boss Lu opened the cabinet door and got in. The space in the cabinet was a bit cramped, but it was not a problem to accommodate him.

only……

Boss Lu felt in a daze that someone was hiding here not long ago.

Only that person is not him.

The author has something to say: it was a little late to pack things up, September is very busy, there are a lot of orientation work, if I really can't write, I will write a leave note.

I'm worried that your expectations will be too high and your disappointment will be even greater, so let me give you a little spoiler.

The next one is not Father Lu, the priest will be a little later.
