Don't play games with sand sculptures

Xu Fanxiu previously said that he was hiding on the closet, but now he said that he woke up on the bed.

It's hard not to think about this answer.

Sure enough, the faces of the players changed drastically and they retreated one after another.

"Oh, I remembered that I was going to the store to buy tools, so I left first." Wei Lin smiled and stepped back to the door, turned around and left, "Everyone remember to check the time, the manager said that the clown festival will start at nine o'clock."

Seeing this, Yang Xi also dragged Jiang Xu away. Zheng Sanren and Chen Chen exchanged glances and followed the leaving team.Soon, Shen Anming pulled He Ziyi and left the monitoring room.

Bai Ti also wanted to leave, but seeing that Ruan Mang didn't move, she waited along with her.Not long after, only she, Ruan Mang, and Xu Fanxiu were left in the monitoring room.

Ruan Mang closed the door of the monitoring room before speaking: "Let's exchange clues. Tell me first, did you faint from fright or fell asleep at night, and you have no memory at all?"

"When the clown entered the room last night, I woke up when I heard the noise. I pushed Han Pei awake and let him hide under the bed, then climbed to the wardrobe to hide."

Xu Fanxiu's face was bloodless, he recalled, and said, "I did fall asleep, but woke up again. I still remember a bit of a vague scene, Han Pei did crawl out from under the bed, when I woke up, Han Pei pulling my face..."

Bai Ti's scalp became numb when she heard it, she looked left and right, pulled the computer chair and sat down behind Ruan Mang, acting as a quiet mascot.

"How did Han Pei die?" Ruan Mang asked.

"I was discovered by the clown." Xu Fanxiu wiped his face, not knowing why he was so frightened.He said: "The clown seems to have taken something, and when he picked it up, he found Han Pei under the bed."

Ruan Mang nodded, and said the 'clue' she gave: "The clown has a very sensitive sense of smell, it can smell the smell of living people."

Hearing this sentence, Bai Ti raised her head subconsciously to look at Ruan Mang, recalling that she was hiding under the quilt and pretending to be dead, as if she heard footsteps approaching.After the play-death performance was over, she heard footsteps leaving again, and then the sound of a door closing.

It's not the smell, she thought.

"Smell?" Xu Fanxiu was stunned, he turned to look at the monitor, and clicked to continue.

In the video, after Han Pei dragged Xu Fanxiu out of the room, he stopped for some reason, looked up at the monitor, and dragged him back into the room.When Han Pei came out again, he was alone.

Seeing this, Xu Fanxiu looked at Ruan Mang without saying a word, waiting for her explanation.

"Is it weird?" Ruan Mang smiled, "Look carefully at the monitoring time, it's already one o'clock."

"One o'clock?" Xu Fanxiu hesitated, suddenly looked up at the upper left corner of the video, it was indeed one o'clock in the morning.

Seeing this, Bai Ti curiously followed the words and looked at the time display on the upper left corner of the monitor. It was indeed one o'clock, and the time for death was over.She suddenly felt that the man in front of her was so damn lucky, he could dodge this!

"Bai Ti, are you going shopping?" Ruan Mang asked with his head lowered, his eyes seemed to reveal other meanings, "There is a convenience store next to it, go buy something to eat."

"Go!" Bai Ti stroked her belly, "I'm just hungry, I'll go to the task when I'm full."

Ruan Mang pulled Bai Ti to go out, and said to Xu Fanxiu, "We're going to buy breakfast. If you don't feel well, you can go back and have a rest. The activities don't start until nine o'clock."

Xu Fanxiu didn't make a sound, and watched the two leave all the way.

Several customers have already come to the 24-hour convenience store.

When Bai Ti and Ruan Mang came in, Feng Ai was sitting in the rest area by the window eating instant noodles and a can of soda.There was a bamboo fungus sitting next to her. She didn't buy food, but only chose canned soda. Apart from the one she was drinking in her hand, there were two unopened cans beside her.

"Ding dong~ welcome!"

Hearing the system broadcast, Feng Ai and Zhu Sheng looked over at the same time.

"Morning~" Feng Ai greeted briefly, and continued to eat noodles with his head bowed.

"Hey!" Zhu Sheng raised her eyebrows at Ruan Mang, and threw the two unopened cans of soda towards her and Bai Ti, right into their arms.She smiled and said, "Everyone is a player, so treat it as a meeting gift."

"Thank you." Bai Ti held the soda can, wondering if she could drink it.

Ruan Mang raised his hand towards Zhusheng, but did not speak.She didn't sit down either, she took Bai Ti to the food area, and said in a low voice, "Do you remember what I said?"

"Remember." Bai Ti nodded with a serious face: "Including you are all disturbed and kind perverts."

Ruan Mang: "..."

Ruan Mang took a deep breath and smiled, "Don't force me to slap you so early in the morning."

"It's as if you don't do your hands at night."

"..."

Ruan Mang smiled and pressed Bai Ti's head into the bulk snack box, turned his head and said softly to the cashier: "Don't be afraid, I just ran out this morning, I will take him back and lock him up now."

Clerk: "..." shivering.jpg

Bai Ti struggled for a while, then resolutely gave up.

The clerk's expression became even more frightened, probably because he thought Bai Ti was dead.

The second floor of the convenience store is for daily necessities.

When Chu Xun came down the stairs, Ruan Mang happened to go up.

The two passed by, and Chu Xun looked ahead, as if he didn't see anyone coming up.Ruan Mang looked down at the shopping basket in his hand, which contained a Phillips screwdriver and a utility knife.

Take a closer look, there is a red scratch on the outside of Chu Xun's palm, which should be caused by a short-term injury based on the scab.

Taking his eyes back, Ruan Mang also went to the hardware area, picked out a utility knife that was pleasing to the eye, compared the depth of his coat pocket, and made sure that the utility knife was the right length, and went downstairs to check out without stopping.

At this time, Bai Ti was already sitting in the rest area holding the vacuum bread, having breakfast with Feng Ai.

"Did you see the clown last night?" Bai Ti leaned against the long table, looked up at the second floor from time to time, noticed that Ruan Mang had come down, and stopped continuing.

"No." Feng Ai's words were obviously much less, and his eyes were also slightly bruised, and he didn't sleep well last night.

In contrast, Zhusheng's complexion was much better, she glanced at Ruan Mang who was coming this way, "Yeah, it's like a pervert standing under the window, so angry that I jumped out of the window to find it one-on-one gone."

Bai Ti chewed the bread and asked, "And then?"

"Then, I found this in the toilet drawer." Zhusheng said, taking out a ceramic clown doll from her pocket, "This may be its body, I carry it with me to ward off evil spirits."

Bai Ti: "..."

Bai Ti looked at Feng Ai who was covering his face, then at Ruan Mang who came to sit down, and suddenly realized that he punched his left palm with his right fist: "Oh~ I learned, I will do the same next time."

She looked at Ruan Mang and asked, "Honey, what do you think?"

"boom"

Once again, Ruan Mang pressed Bai Ti's head on the table.

"what!!"

Bai Ti went crazy, her light blond hair was scratched in a mess, she yelled at Ruan Mang: "If you do it again, I will lose my face!"

Ruan Mang didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.

stare--

Bai Ti looked at Feng Ai and Zhusheng who were eating melons, and then at Ruan Mang who was calm. Without saying a word, she took away the big bag of vacuum bread and soda cans, and ran away without looking back.

Before running out of the convenience store, she took a bag of potato chips from the snack rack next to the cashier, and still didn't look back: "The red-haired lady behind pays the bill." After shouting, she ran away without a trace.

The cashier forced a smile: "Hello, cash or virtual currency?"

Ruan Mang: "..."

Ruan Mang took out the game card from his pocket and gave it to the clerk, smiling, "Swipe the card."

"Thank you for your patronage, welcome to visit next time!"

Parallel Time: 9:00.AM

The "Clown Festival" event in the town is held once a year. The entrance of the event block is full of "clowns" of various shapes. Many dwarf trees are decorated on the site, and small bells and pearl pendants of various colors are hung on the branches, as well as small Part of the gold jester pendant.

All the trinkets are connected by a small hook, like earrings.

The decorative shrubs are not distributed on both sides of the street, but placed in a dense and disorderly manner, as if entering a small maze.

Residents were enthusiastic about the atmosphere of the event, they changed into clown costumes and wigs early, painted their faces, and poured into the activity street enthusiastically.The player's clothes are similar to those of the residents, and people from both sides mixed into the team, it was difficult to tell which was the player and which was the NCP resident.

Bai Ti hugged the bag of potato chips, and walked side by side on the road with Ruan Mang.Both had changed into clown clothes, wigs tucked under their armpits, and their cheeks weren't painted like the residents.

"Ruan Mang." Bai Ti suddenly said, still not forgetting to stuff potato chips into her mouth, said vaguely: "Have you ever thought that our meeting is destined by fate?"

"..."

"I met you when I played the game for the first time, and I shared a room with you when I played the game for the second time." Bai Ti said it so seriously that she almost believed it herself: "Isn't this the steel bar wrapped around Yuelao?"

"..."

"Fuck!"

Before Ruan Mang's hand touched his head, Bai Ti quickly bent over to avoid it, and ran a few steps forward.She turned her head back triumphantly, and said with a smile: "It's only three things, I won't let you...ah!"

'Ding~'

The golden clown pendant fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Bai Ti squatted down clutching her forehead, picked up the clown pendant and looked at it, making sure it was pure gold, and then put it in her pocket.Noticing her small movements, Ruan Mang walked over, squatted halfway in front of Bai Ti, and stretched out his hand to her silently.

Bai Ti looked at Ruan Mang's palm, and put her chin on it.

Ruan Mang: "..."

Under Ruan Mang's silent pressure, Bai Ti retracted her head, softly took the golden clown out of her pocket and put it in Ruan Mang's palm, then rolled up Ruan Mang's fingers to wrap around the pendant.

"Do you still remember the mission prompt?" Ruan Mang said.

"..."

It has to be said that Bai Ti had indeed forgotten.

Ruan Mang raised his head and sighed, and after a long pause, he said, "Don't pick up anything, don't take away anything related to the clown. If you see a clown imitating your movements, don't panic and don't run away."

Bai Ti blinked and asked her, "Does it mean you won't die if you don't run?"

"No." Ruan Mang smiled meaningfully, glanced behind Bai Ti, and continued: "It's useless to run, just lie down and die."

"..."

Bai Ti stopped talking, turned her head following Ruan Mang's gaze, and found a clown squatting on the ground more than ten meters away, making exactly the same movement of turning her head back, and she was not well.

She asked Ruan Mang: "What should I do now?"

"Didn't you say that?" Ruan Mang smiled, "It will imitate your movements, and you can only lie down and die."

"Really? I don't believe it."

Bai Ti also smiled, and slowly stood up, and the clown behind him also stood up, facing her.She waved her hand at Ruan Mang: "Sister, stay away, I'm going to make a bigger move."

Ruan Mang looked at her thoughtfully for a while, then stepped aside.

Betty twisted her neck and started to do stretching exercises.

At the same time, the clown also started doing stretching exercises.

After stretching, Bai Ti took off her shoes, ran all the way and jumped onto Ruan Mang, put her arms around her neck, and then looked at the clown provocatively.

"Hehe, I can't imitate it now!"

"..."

Bai Ti: You don't have a girlfriend, but I do.

Clown: Little harm, but extremely insulting.
