Hurry up and make money, or you will be banned!

Xuelu's heart was filled with cold water, it was heavy and heavy, and the water would come out with a slight squeeze.

He really wanted to call Huo Lvxing directly and ask what happened to Huo Lvxing, but he couldn't lift any of his fingers.

551 looked at Xuelu's face in fear: "Master, are you okay. That...why are you ignoring Mr. Huo?"

Xuelu shook her head lightly: "Ignore him."

"Huh? You were very happy yesterday. You... I've never seen you so relaxed."

551 said it sincerely.

Xuelu is a person who rarely socializes with others. Before meeting Huo Lvxing, the closest relationship was with the trainee teacher Xie Huating, and the two of them rarely rested at the same time, and the contact was limited to online.

Apart from achieving success at work, 551 has never seen Xuelu so relaxed and happy in her private life...

Xuelu pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying: "I was really happy yesterday. But it has nothing to do with me not wanting to talk to him."

551's simple little head couldn't understand, it flew up around Xuelu worriedly, and then flew down again.

After a long time, it plucked up the courage to shout: "Then ignore him! Anyone who makes the owner unhappy is a big fool!"

Xuelu was laughed at by it: "You called him big brother just now."

"What's wrong with the boss?" 551 was angry, "The boss can make the master angry! Don't be angry, master, we can have fun playing by ourselves! Let's go to the beach!"

Under the half-force of 551, Xuelu picked up the big shell boat that hadn't had time to deflate last night, and went into the sea.

Today's weather is not good, large swaths of haze piled up in the air, like ink spilled all over the sky.The sea water has also faded from its turquoise blue, a depressing and lifeless gray blue.

Xuelu's feet stepped into the water lightly, and the coldness penetrated from the ankles to the whole body, losing the mood.

He pushed the small shell boat away and put 551 on it: "Go, you go and play. I, let's be alone for a while."

Fluffy Piaoyuan worried, Doudou stared at Xuelu: "Then, you, call me when you want to talk to me, 551 will always be with you!"

"Ah."

Xuelu watched the fluffy dumpling drifting away, opened the list, and looked for someone who could distract his thoughts.

He saw Xie Huating online, yesterday, he still ignored the invitation sent by Xie Huating.

[Xie Huating: I remember you mentioned before that you want to go to the Cool Kids Paradise, are you free? 】

Xuelu clicked on the dialog box, wanted to say that she was free, but her fingertip stopped in mid-air, and then put it down again.

Brother Hua Ting... Brother Hua Ting seems to be at odds with Huo Lvxing.Although the two didn't show it much, Xuelu felt it.

If you talk to Brother Huating, Brother Huating must be on his side and scold Huo Lvxing angrily.

For some reason, Xuelu didn't want to hear Xie Huating reprimanding Huo Lvxing.

He looked blankly at the sky, the haze was close and dark, just like his bewildered heart.

Otherwise, just call Huo Lvxing directly and ask him what happened to Uncle Zhang, did he do it, why didn't you tell him, is there any turning point...

But what qualifications does Xuelu have, and in what capacity is she asking?

He thought that the two of them had a good relationship, but what about Huo Lvxing?After all, he, Xuelu, was just a prisoner who was lucky enough to please Huo Lvxing and not be arrested.

Xuelu wanted to cry.

The last time I wanted to cry was because Huo Lvxing was so kind to him, this time, it was about him again.

What an offense.

Xie Huating said that everyone will meet people who have conflicts with them, some people can reconcile, and some people will never be able to.And the best solution is to stay away from him.

You can't change others, but you can change yourself.

Xuelu shook her head impatiently, her trembling fingers blocked Huo Lvxing.

After doing all this, his heavy heart seemed to be pinched vigorously, and the cold water dripping made his limbs feel cold.

He knew that he was trapped in negative emotions. He searched the training courses in his mind and searched the reference books in the database, but he couldn't find a solution.

Perhaps it is a good choice to divert attention.Like so many times.

He called 551 hoarsely: "Come back, I... I want to enter the copy."

551 obediently flew back with the small shell boat: "Okay. Master, don't be sad, you go to make money, money will never betray you!"

Xuelu burst into tears and smiled: "Yes. Qian...Qian will never betray me."

Just go.

He replied to Xie Huating, thanked him for his kindness, and said that he had entered the dungeon.

Since you have an S-level godhead, you can choose a copy to upgrade to A-level. If you want to go to S-level, you need to have three or more S-level items.

After thinking about it for a while, he clicked [A-level dungeon]. Since it was his first time entering A-level, he chose [Story], which he was good at.

After 2 minutes of matching, Xuelu was pulled into the pitch-black space.

Before entering the NPC preparation stage, the system first asks whether you want to use it because there is [S-level item · player aura].

Last time, Xuelu felt that it would be troublesome to pretend to be a player to extort items, so he refused, but this time... he hesitated for a while, and then chose to use it.

He was afraid that Huo Luxing would follow in, like last time.

He didn't know how he would deal with Huo Lvxing again.Questioning, angry, or too sad to speak?That's too ugly.

Since it's a storyline, even if Huo Lv entered the dungeon, he pretended to be a player and stayed away from exploring, wouldn't it be okay to avoid it?

[Identities are being exchanged...identities have been exchanged successfully]

[System Reminder: The player halo will only allow you to obtain player status, and will not change your camp.At the same time, in the story dungeon, for the sake of game balance, you will not get the story information except for the basic identity information of the NPC. 】

Immediately, there was a "ding"——

Xuelu's eyes blurred and she fell to the ground.

……

…………

water.

Coming and going.

It's waves.

The cold sea water will soak the whole body, take away the body temperature, and make the limbs tired and heavy.The head hurts because of the loss of temperature, and the consciousness is blurred and oppressed.

"A new player is here! Can you stand up by yourself? Wake up!"

"Damn, he doesn't look very well... Hey, help me!"

In the next second, several footsteps rushed over, and the deep and shallow sounds of trampling on the sand sounded. Xuelu realized that this was the beach.

From a face-down position, he was turned face-up.

"...so beautiful! What kind of bloodline is this?"

"...Succubus? Mermaid... Shhh, he's about to wake up."

The radiant silver hair bloomed softly like silk in the dark sea water, dripping drop by drop, wet the dirty beach.The contrast of black and white made Li Li's beauty charming, but when those dazzling golden eyes opened, all the beautiful scenery paled in front of him——

Xuelu was hurriedly pulled up from the beach, and a piece of chocolate was stuffed into her mouth.A large towel was wrapped around him in the dry shade.

The high sugar decomposed into heat flow, warming the limbs, after a short rest, Xuelu opened his eyes.

A girl with a gentle face and a medium build was sitting next to him. Seeing him wake up, she happily said, "Are you awake?"

Xuelu coughed a few times unbearably, coughing away the smelly sea water from his mouth and nose, he looked into the distance——

They are indeed by the sea.

Different from the blue and clean resort beach next to the villas in the main city, the sea here is dirty and dark, with unclean water splashing against the same dirty shore, seaweed and corpses of shallow water creatures piled up, giving off a rotting stench, flies and Bedbugs linger.

Thinking of how she was rescued from there, Xuelu couldn't help retching.

The coastline is very long, and he and the girl are sitting a few hundred meters away from the thin beach, under the shade of trees overgrown with gravel and grass.In the vast and barren distance, there is a large mess of pastures.

To the west, 200 meters away, there is an endless forest, covering an extremely wide area, and the horizon is covered by tall and short trees.In the forest, some dark wooden poles can be vaguely seen, like dead tree trunks after being struck by lightning, and they are also the top part of the cross.

In the north, walking along the beach, a few hundred meters away, there is a huge building at the end, with about five or six floors, and its appearance is relatively old. I don't know if it is a private villa or a resort hotel.

"Where are we?" Xuelu coughed again, "Where are the other players?"

Facing those bright golden eyes, a hint of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes.She coughed under cover: "There is something written in the identity information, you should take a look at yours first. The others took advantage of the prep time and it was safer, so they went to explore around. We will gather again when everyone is gathered."

Waiting for everyone?

Xuelu understood: "Do the players join one by one?"

The girl nodded: "You are the fifth, and everyone floated in the water, so I will guard by the sea."

The players in the A-level dungeon are all human beings. When girls talk about joining one by one, there is no abnormality.

Xuelu opened the information panel.

[NPC information]

【The main work】

1. As one of the family members of Upside Down Villa, entertain the poor guests who were shipwrecked.

【Introduction】

Wen Shuyu

Ability: The candy passing through your hand will turn into poison candy, and you will die if you eat it.

【Remark】

1. Because of your naughtiness, you mixed in with the shipwrecked crowd.

2. Your family members thought you were missing and didn't know you existed.

【Current surviving players】

20

【Currently Cleared Players】

Under the NPC's identity information, there is an extra column.

【Player Information】

【main mission】

After completing any of the following tasks, the dungeon enters the settlement.

1. Escape from the island

2. Survive for five days (countdown 119:53)

【Introduction】

You have signed up for a 7-day and 7-night sea trip with a travel agency.

I thought it was a happy leisure holiday, but unexpectedly, on the second day of sailing, the cruise ship crashed into a rock, and the ship was destroyed.

You were already desperate, but you were accidentally hit by the sea and rushed to this small island that was not recorded on the map, and you survived by luck.

【Current surviving players】

20

【Currently Cleared Players】

After reading all the information, Xuelu understood.

In other words, the identity of the NPC is the aboriginal family of the "Upside Down Villa" on the "Unknown Island", and the identity of the player is the "survivor of the shipwreck".

The player's task is to escape from the island or survive for five days. Then, the NPC's task is most likely to drive away the uninvited guests.

Seeing "Wen Shuyu" on her NPC identity information, Xuelu felt deeply powerless.This is the simplest NPC identity information he has encountered, presumably to prevent the plot from being spoiled.

It's okay to be brief, but this name... Isn't Wen Shuyu supposed to be a female character?

Xuelu couldn't help getting up, and ran to the beach, where she saw her own reflection in the dirty water.

There was no change, it was still him, a few strands of soft silver hair fluttering finely with the sea breeze.Outfits were resort-style frangipani floral shirts and board shorts, sporty sandals.In addition, there is no backpack or jewelry, and it is estimated that they were lost or thrown away when they were in distress.

Seeing that he was abnormal, the girl hurried over to him: "What's wrong?"

Xuelu paused: "No... I'm here to see if any other players have come. Have you searched that rock?"

Looking along Xuelu's line of sight, the girl saw a large area of ​​rugged and steep reefs of varying heights to the south, covering an area of ​​at least half an acre, circling to the blind spot behind the island.

The girl nodded: "I've searched, it's an ordinary reef area. By the way, do you have anything in your pocket?"

Xuelu touched the still wet shirt, and felt a bulge in the left breast pocket.

He paused, and took it out in front of the girl. It was a cheap badge with "Anduras Travel Group" printed on it.

The size of a coin, the material is hard paper in the front and iron needles in the back.It should be issued to everyone in the tour group for identification when browsing scenic spots.

"What's wrong with this thing?"

The girl took the badge, and her long fingernails deftly opened the badge.She spread her hand to Xuelu: "There are clues inside."

There is a small piece of paper folded in four inside, because it is well protected, it is still dry.

Xuelu opened it, and printed on it——

【Wednesday Party】

Xuelu thought about it for a while, and it became clear that this is a sentence clue. Presumably every player has a short sentence, and the complete clue is only when they are put together.

"Does everyone have it?" Xuelu asked back, "What is yours?"

The girl was noncommittal: "Let's gather all the people and watch it, as long as you have it."

Xuelu's eyes darkened, and she sized up the girl without any trace—this girl is very scheming.

When Xuelu first entered the dungeon and had no clue, he took the lead and obtained clues.One is to judge whether Xuelu is an NPC or not, and the other is that the information is not equal. If the players have different thoughts in the later stage, such short sentence clues will become a big weight, which is very rare.

The girl was wearing a chiffon dress with large sunflower flowers on a white background. Because it was soaked in water and it was difficult to move, she put the skirt on her thigh and tied it in a knot.She wears shiny summer sandals with algae tangled in them.

She changed the subject, and stretched out her hand with a smile: "I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is He Ye, how about you?"

"Xuelu."

"Happy cooperation. Ah! A new partner has floated over!"

Xuelu turned her head, and three people floated staggeringly on the pitch-black water waves. The clothes blown by the air reflected the pale sunlight, like meat floating in fish soup.

Before the water waves pushed the three of them to the shore, they heard a scream in the distance.

The two turned their heads sharply, and heard the rustling of weeds and branches being brushed aside. The two of them, one fat and one thin, ran back staggeringly: "He's dead!"

dead?

But... the players haven't arrived yet, aren't they still in the 15-minute preparation stage?How did he die?

Xuelu found the same doubt in Heye's eyes.

Or, the dead are not players?But the problem is still there, even if it is the death of the aborigines in the plot design, the preparation stage has not passed, how did the plot start?

The two boys ran towards the beach, slumped on the ground, panting heavily.

He Ye and Xue Lu looked at each other, He Ye walked up and asked in a soft voice: "What's wrong?"

The thin yellow-haired man gritted his teeth and told what happened just now.

The three boys want to explore the way ahead of time before the game starts, which is safer.

The area of ​​this small island is much larger than estimated, and the road is a wild road. It is difficult to walk due to the gravel, jagged, tree roots and weeds that are unique to the sea.Especially the forest, a typical wild forest, needs to open the road while walking, so they didn't go far, and they barely touched the edge of the forest.

"... After walking for about 200 meters, a neat path suddenly appeared in the forest without weeds. It seemed that people often walked on it, so we walked on the path. After walking for about half a minute, a 'cross field' appeared. Inside There were bones everywhere, broken, whole, there was no shortage of skulls."

"It's hard to describe the scene... It was shocking and disgusting. We were taken aback. But Xiaohao was bold. When he looked carefully, he found that the skulls were not in the right shape. They were bones from livestock. Beef, sheep, And pigs."

"A slaughterhouse?"

"It should be just a garbage dump for throwing bones, or a place for sacrifices," the boy continued, "because there is no blood, not at all. After we found that the skull was not human, we will not be afraid and continue to explore. Gathered a few take away studies."

"The place where the bones are most densely piled up are more than a dozen crosses, of different heights, some with thick bowl mouths, and some with thick waists. They are just the kind of crosses that are crudely tied up with branches. The only thing in common is that they are extremely dark. It looks like it has been roasted by fire... There are two particularly tall ones, which can be seen from here."

As he said that, Huang Mao pointed into the woods. In the distance where the woods were denser, there were indeed two solitary black sticks.It is the one that He Ye and Xue Lu saw in the distance.

He Ye lost his patience: "Let's talk about the important point! Didn't you say that the dead person? The preparation stage has not passed, and all 20 players have not come together. How did they die!"

The two boys looked at each other and trembled all over.

"Yes... dead, but we don't know how he died."

"What do you mean?" Xuelu couldn't help asking, "Where's the corpse, what's the state?"

"The corpse... is gone." The fat boy smiled wryly, "...Suddenly there was the howling of wild beasts in the forest. Xiaohao knew how to survive in the wild, and when he said it was howling wolves, we ran back quickly. Running, I think The sound of footsteps was not right. Looking back, Xiaohao disappeared. We quickly stopped to look for Xiaohao, but there was no trace of dragging on the ground, and Xiaohao didn’t make a sound. The person or corpse just disappeared. The more wolves howled in the forest. It got bigger and we got so scared that we ran back."

Xuelu and Heye glanced at each other: full of loopholes.

The boy said, Xiaohao didn't make a sound, so whose screams were heard by Xuelu and Heye outside the forest?

Furthermore, the boy said that there were wolves in the forest, but after the two ran to the beach, no wolves chased them out.It's impossible for this group of "wolves" to be sealed in the forest, it's nonsense.

But the two did not expose the boy's words. After all, the system panel showed that the number of surviving players was 19, and Xiaohao was indeed dead.

He Ye said perfunctorily, "I will go to the forest to explore when everyone is ready", and went to the beach to meet the three people who floated over.

Afterwards, the frequency of people floating over became higher, and three more people floated over.

Half an hour passed, no one floated over, and people noticed something was wrong.

"It clearly shows that there are 20 players," a woman wearing glasses couldn't help but say, "Now there are only 10 players."

The yellow-haired boy's name is Victor, and he has recovered now: "One died before you came, so there are 11."

Everyone looked at each other, and He Ye said, "Maybe...they came in batches. For example, 11 of us were shipwrecked today, and 9 people were shipwrecked tomorrow. It is also possible that the other 9 people came in other ways." Landing on the island, or the natives of the island at all."

Xuelu agreed: "There is also a possibility that we have missed... There are 11 of us, and we may be the second batch of players."

He Ye was stunned, and then clapped his hands: "Yes! So, someone died during the 'preparation stage' that we thought was safe!"

That would explain it.

The dungeon started early, and it didn't take long before 11 of them joined the battlefield.

but……

What about the other 9 players?

Everyone made a quick self-introduction.

Before introducing herself, He Ye suggested: "I have encountered a supernatural dungeon, and there is an NPC killing rule of "reveal full name". That dungeon suffered heavy casualties. I suggest that everyone call each other by nicknames."

The first six people who landed on the island explored together with the dead Xiaohao, were Golden Retriever Victor and Big Fat Mammoth.A man in black sportswear, who claims to be a first-class national athlete who practices Sanda, is called the champion, plus He Ye and Xue Lu, all entered the dungeon solo.

The last five people who landed on the island came in a team. The girl with glasses and a soft voice is Angel; the girl with long curly hair and a confident and arrogant conversation is called Cyclamen; It's called Jiandao; the cold and alienated handsome guy calls himself a ghost card.An ordinary baby-faced boy with a very low sense of existence is called Xiao Chu.

When the five get along, they exude natural trust and intimacy. They claim to be members of the "Cryboy Brotherhood".

Xuelu asked He Ye in a low voice: "I only know that there is a cool kid paradise in the main city."

He Ye also smiled: "Maybe there is an origin. The Crying Boy Brotherhood is the number one organization in the main city, a group of weird people who do their own way. But as long as they don't interfere with them, they will not take the initiative to harm others. Compared with 'yuan', the reputation It's too high."

After introducing themselves, everyone checked their missions and found that they were exactly the same, and they were all two choices: "Escape from this island or survive for five days".

He Ye smiled and said: "Since the tasks are the same, we can cooperate with confidence. The clues are not clear, and it is not clear which is easier to escape or survive. I hope everyone can share the clues found. Even if we are divided into escape and survival later, The tasks don't conflict either."

With this, she offered to look at the note in each person's badge.

He Ye not only holds the notes of the first five people, but even the dead Xiaohao's, but what is incomprehensible is——

The order of landing on the island was 7 to 11, and the five members of the Brotherhood of the Crying Boy rejected He Ye's proposal after a very short discussion.

The fraternity is headed by a tall, tall, handsome guy who is cold, arrogant and alienated.He casually played with the badge in his hand: "It's not necessary. If you want to share, we welcome it, but we don't feel that we are obliged to cooperate with you."

He Ye didn't expect them to refuse, and was speechless for a while, "Are you crazy? This is definitely the key clue..."

Joker lowered his eyelashes indifferently: "So? So what?"

"you!"

Xuelu grabbed He Heye in time and persuaded her in a low voice: "Okay, okay!"

He Ye wanted to stay to argue with the ghost card, but was pulled away by Xue Lu.

Angrily, the two moved away from the five members of the fraternity, and stopped behind a giant reef on the dirty coastline, He Ye took a few breaths, and cracks appeared on her gentle face: "Damn it! You're sick! Is it necessary to split the storyline?"

"They're provoking you on purpose, don't be fooled." Xuelu shook her head, "Now that they don't know how important the clue is, they won't make it public."

After He Ye calmed down, she figured it out.

If the clues are important, and the five members of the Brotherhood are missing from Heye, in order to get complete clues, Heye will definitely seek help and expose her clues, and the Brotherhood will have the upper hand in the exploration—after all, there are two ways to clear the level. In the later stage, differences are likely to arise.

If the leads weren't important, the fraternity had nothing to lose.

Furthermore, no one knows which of the first five and last five clues is more critical when the plot has not unfolded.

This is a gamble that has not yet begun.

He Ye sneered: "Idiots...you better not have the chance to beg me!"

The notes of the first five people, according to the order of landing on the island, are pieced together like this.

"1, Upside Down Villa

2. Another guest

3. Check in on Monday

4. Play on Tuesday

5. Wednesday Party

The sixth person to land on the island was the Sanda champion, who was not familiar with the brotherhood, was lured by He Ye with five clues, and handed over his own.

6. Die on Thursday

Seeing that the five members of the fraternity reported to the group, the rest of the scattered people felt the crisis, and vaguely formed a group led by Xuelu and Heye.

In order to prove his identity, the Sanda champion swears by slapping his chest, saying that he never showed the fraternity clues about his "death on Thursday". Of course, this point is doubtful.

He Ye analyzed: "A typical nursery rhyme imitating 'Mother Goose'."

Mammoth was puzzled: "Mother Goose?"

"The popular bedtime nursery rhymes in the West are called dark nursery rhymes because of their thoughtful and terrifying content," He Ye explained, "for example, 'Ten Little Blacks' in "None Survived" and "London Bridge wants to Collapsing', all nursery rhymes of Mother Goose."

Mammoth suddenly realized: "I have heard of these two, so they are called by this name."

He scratched his head: "Is there any way to explain it? It doesn't make any sense, it's just a sentence that permeates people."

He Ye ignored Mammoth's nonsense, and read it again from beginning to end: "Does Upside Down Villa refer to that tall building? You see, the nursery rhyme saying 'die on Thursday' means surviving five days in the mission ?”

"It's possible," Xuelu said, "So, Thursday is very dangerous, maybe a dead end, so the 'check-in', 'play', and 'party' from Monday to Wednesday imply that the first three days are safe?"

"There is also this 'here comes the guest', does it imply that the nine players in front have already gone to the villa?"

Everyone looked at each other, and He Ye continued: "In our clues, only the villa was mentioned, and the forest and the coast were not mentioned. However, the clues of the remaining five people and the nine people who did not appear did not necessarily mention the forest and the coast. Perhaps it is to continue to introduce other information about the villa. ——Currently, it is certain that people died in the forest, and the villa was safe in the past few days.”

Xue Lu followed He Ye's eyes and looked at the five fraternity members who were also whispering and discussing fiercely.

Gui Pai was very keen, and he noticed Xue Lu's gaze in an instant. His expression was unclear, he just raised his eyebrows, and then continued to listen with his head down.

I don't know what the clues of the Brotherhood are, but in the end, they also turned to the villa.It proved from the side that no matter what clues they had, they also came to the point that the villa was safe.

Ten pairs of calm or restless gazes all looked at the only "respectable" building on the island, which occupied a huge area, whether it was a villa or a hotel.

——Is that "Upside Down Villa"?

The author has something to say: Brothers, I don’t need to say which one is the gong!
