It is not without reason that Qi Wuyuan decided to take care of Ruan Li's affairs.

Recently, four or five people in the north of the city have disappeared due to the so-called haunted rumors, and all of them are people from the Taoist sect with some abilities.

Qi Wuyuan knew more inside information than Ruan Xiaoxiao.

Ning City itself has a lot of winding alleys, especially the one in the north of the city. It's okay to walk in the sun during the day, but it's a bit creepy when you look at it at night.

Without exception, the missing persons were inexplicably drawn into the dark alley when they passed by the alley.

None of these forces could find any clues related to the missing persons, and the several forces that were originally intricately involved with each other before the disappearance happened are now even more eager to make a mess.

Nguyen Lee is similar to how they disappeared.

Qi Wuyuan didn't link the disappearance case in the north of the city with the Fourth World before. Qi Wuyuan knew that those few Taoist priests had nothing to do with the system. In Qi Wuyuan's view, they were just ordinary Taoist priests.

It's just that now it seems that things are much more complicated.

After calling Bai Jiayu, Qi Wuyuan took Ruan Xiaoxiao, who had been granted a one-week leave by Shunli, into the car. When he left, Qi Wuyuan didn't take the driver with him. There were only him and Ruan Xiaoxiao in the car. Yu Yu, who knows everything and acts as a driver for the time being.

This car was originally Qi Wuyuan's private property, and it was easier to talk while sitting in the car. As soon as Qi Wuyuan got in the car, he asked Ruan Xiaoxiao a question.

"What are machine screws?"

Ruan Xiaoxiao unconsciously fiddled with the wide sleeves of the school uniform, thought for a while and said, "The last copy of me and my brother was in a candy factory as sugar workers in the factory."

In an intermediate-level dungeon with normal difficulty, the Ruan brothers and sisters were well prepared and cooperated with each other, lacking neither brainpower nor force.

"Although I felt a little struggling in the later stages of the dungeon, I was able to get by under the care of my brother."

Ruan Xiaoxiao lowered her head even lower, her previous pride and spirit disappeared, and her words were filled with deep annoyance: "Finally, the candy factory was damaged, and dozens of tons of syrup slanted out. I didn't react in time and almost Overwhelmed by syrup, it was my brother who came and rescued me."

"As a result, a sugar making machine in the factory just fell apart at this time..."

Once it is stained with hot syrup, if it is not scalded to death, it will suffer painful torture after the syrup cools down, and it must not be buried in it.

Ruan Li knew this very well. He led Ruan Xiaoxiao to escape from the incoming syrup and the collapsing factory. Just as the two were about to escape from the candy factory with a complicated internal structure, a huge sugar-making machine in the center of the factory Unable to support it, it collapsed.

Ruan Xiaoxiao still clearly remembers the appearance of that day: "The mechanical screw is a magical thing that the factory manager specially imported into the candy factory to keep the sugar making machine running. Three small mechanical screws can support a huge machine. The sugar machine, I heard it is a magical metal piece imported from somewhere."

When the sugar machine collapsed, Ruan Li pushed Ruan Xiaoxiao out without thinking.

He was one step too late, and a mechanical screw that fell out of the machine fell directly into Ruan Li's body.

Yuhui was listening to Ruan Xiaoxiao while driving, and when he heard this, he asked suspiciously: "Did it fall into the body?"

Ruan Xiaoxiao knew about Yugui's existence from Qi Wuyuan's live broadcast room, she hesitated for a moment, thinking that there was nothing she could do anyway, so she explained it in detail.

"That's right. Although I was pushed out at the time, I could see the vision problem very clearly. The mechanical screw just fell into my brother's body from my brother's back."

Later, under Ruan Xiaoxiao's pressure, Ruan Li also told her after the dungeon was released, that he really felt something fell into his body from his back at that time.

Ruan Xiaoxiao tightened her sleeves: "He can't lie to me, I feel a heavy uneasiness in my heart, so I kept asking, my brother told me when he couldn't hide it..."

"It was said that he heard the system prompt after the mechanical screw entered the body, and the system said that my brother had obtained the entry qualification for a copy."

Ruan Xiaoxiao looked up at Qi Wuyuan, hope flashed in his eyes.

She clearly knows that no player is more likely to come into contact with various strange copies than this person in front of her.

"However my brother and I searched, whether it's the dungeon database or the forum, no matter how we searched with keywords, we couldn't find any information about this dungeon."

This in itself is unreasonable enough. I don't know the difficulty of the dungeon, the content of the dungeon, and nothing about it has been revealed.

——There is only one case, and this is a brand new copy that no one has entered.

It's like opening a blind box, without knowing any information.

The uneasiness in Ruan Xiaoxiao's tone can't deceive anyone: "But no matter how worried I was at the time, I was still able to comfort myself. From the system prompts, it doesn't sound like this dungeon requires my brother's compulsory participation."

But who would have thought that with this kind of self-comforting fluke mentality, it didn't take long for Ruan Li to disappear out of thin air.

When this incident happened, Ruan Xiaoxiao preferred that Ruan Li entered a completely unfamiliar dungeon rather than disappearing.

Ruan Xiaoxiao would not be so foolish as to think that this dungeon would be a low-level dungeon if it was drawn from an object in the mid-level dungeon.

It's very possible... the dungeon that her brother accidentally entered was an intermediate dungeon or even a high-level dungeon with a high probability.

Ruan Xiaoxiao was so anxious that she wished she could find Ruan Li sooner.

Qi Wuyuan was thoughtful, his eyes flickered with deep meaning, and he asked Ruan Xiaoxiao: "Do you know what the dungeon is called?"

Ruan Xiaoxiao nodded: "I know, my brother told me about the name of that dungeon"

"Call--"

"Mechanical city-state."

The originally sunny weather suddenly flashed a bolt of lightning at this moment.

"Bang!"

The collision of clouds made a violent sound, and bright purple and white lightning flashed across the sky, leaving behind an unusual atmosphere.

None of the three people in the car was afraid of thunder, but Ruan Xiaoxiao looked out of the car window at the thundering sky, and was a little absent-minded for a while.

"How do you feel... this thunder is not a coincidence?"

Qi Wuyuan was noncommittal.

Thinking of something, he made a decision in his heart, Qi Wuyuan asked Yushu a word: "Are you ready to salute?"

Yuyu nodded, and responded to Qi Wuyuan while driving: "After packing up last night, I put it directly into the space."

He always pays attention to safety when doing things, and always puts the packed salutes on his back in his own space, Yugui's space also has a lot of various utensils that Qi Wuyuan may use but are not so high in priority.

Yuyu also has his own exclusive space backpack.

Since he came out of the guide dungeon, it seems that he has been recognized by the system, and Qi Wuyuan can directly open the space backpack for him.

Since it was possible to open a space for Yu Yu, Qi Wuyuan simply gave him three space grids with the highest authority.

After receiving Yu Yu's reply, Qi Wuyuan said directly: "Go directly to Qi's family."

Yugui nodded: "Good teacher."

Ruan Xiaoxiao secretly remembered the "Qijia" in Qi Wuyuan's mouth. She didn't know Qi Wuyuan's name yet, but she knew that Ruan Li had said it to her.

Player No. 125125 is from Qi Family, don't underestimate it.

Since it was mentioned from the mouth of my brother, I should be able to believe it to some extent.

Ruan Xiaoxiao now seems to have caught the last piece of duckweed to rely on, there is no other way.

Qi Wuyuan paused for a moment, then turned to Ruan Xiaoxiao: "Are you ready to salute, do you want to go to your house first?"

Ruan Xiaoxiao was eager to save his brother, shook his head and said, "No need."

The inside of the car is a confined space, and the three of them are all players who know the existence of the Fourth World. Ruan Xiaoxiao doesn't have to worry about being exposed in front of ordinary people in the car.

Ruan Xiaoxiao flipped her left hand, the barcode on her wrist flashed, and in a flash of light, Ruan Xiaoxiao's baggy school uniform became a set of regular uniform.

She said to Qi Wuyuan, "I have props, so don't worry about these details."

Ruan Xiaoxiao was not in the mood to dress up like before.

Qi Wuyuan suddenly said: "Where are your parents?"

He wasn't sure how much time it would take this time, and he wasn't even sure if Ruan Li had something to do with the recent disappearance in the north of the city. He needed to take Ruan Xiaoxiao away for a few days. To avoid trouble, he had to ask Ruan Xiaoxiao to settle her down parent matter.

Qi Wuyuan had to go to Qi's family to actually "participate" in Qi Xue's engagement banquet before he could make a judgment.

Ruan Xiaoxiao shook her head: "No need."

"My brother and I grew up in the orphanage."

The two brothers and sisters also moved out of the orphanage when they became adults after entering the fourth world economy and became independent.

Qi Wuyuan nodded slightly, and his attitude towards Ruan Xiaoxiao was the same as before, and he didn't have any unreasonable sympathy for her because she came from the orphanage, which made Ruan Xiaoxiao feel a little better.

"Then go directly to Qi's home."

In all fairness, Qi Wuyuan didn't want to take care of the smoky things in the north of the city, he was more interested in the strange copy, especially after listening to Ruan Xiaoxiao's description, Qi Wuyuan became even more curious.

If Ruan Li's disappearance has nothing to do with other people, in Qi Wuyuan's place, the priority of Ruan Li's disappearance is higher than that of the group in the north of the city.

Yu Hui listened to Qi Wuyuan's direct gaze, turned the steering wheel, changed lanes and walked down the viaduct, heading towards the direction of Qi's family in the north of the city.

Qijia is located in the center of an ingeniously quiet villa area in the north of the city. It covers a large area, and the neighbors on the left and right will never affect each other.

As a family that has developed for hundreds of years, Qijia's layout combines various modern and convenient high-tech decorations in a simple and simple way. It is not difficult to see the foundation and connotation of the whole family in the elegant.

Everyone in the Qi family knew the license plate number of this car. Yu Hui drove the car unimpeded through the slowly opened gate into the Qi family courtyard, and went straight to the door of the Qi family hall.

Immediately, a servant stepped forward and opened the door to greet Qi Wuyuan and get off.

"Good afternoon, Second Young Master."

The duty servant didn't ask any more questions, but respectfully saluted Qi Wuyuan, and didn't even ask who Ruan Xiaoxiao was.

Two servants came up next to him, one opened the trunk and brought the suitcase that Yuyu deliberately took out from the space and put it in the trunk before, and the other took Yugui's place and acted as the driver, driving the car into Qijia's garage .

After receiving the news of Qi Wuyuan's return, Uncle Wu, who had been housekeeper with Qi Wuyuan's father for many years, hurried over.

"Second Young Master is back." He quickly explained: "The patriarch of Qingfeng Taoist Temple, the abbot of Jinchan Temple, and the heads of several other families have all come here, and the master will discuss things with them in the study."

Uncle Wu explained that he was afraid that Qi Wuyuan might misunderstand why his father didn't come out to pick him up when he finally came back.

Qi Wuyuan waved his hand, he didn't care about these things.

"No, this kid is a guest, take him to the guest room and rest first."

Qi Wuyuan was not in a hurry, and Ruan Xiaoxiao, who had made an agreement with him three chapters ago, did not have any dissatisfaction. Since getting off the car, he really began to be obedient and did not show any dissatisfaction.

It's just that the former Ruan Xiaoxiao couldn't help complaining about Qi Wuyuan's words - you are a child, old-fashioned.

Yugui directly handled the suitcase in the servant's hand.

Qi Wuyuan said to Uncle Wu: "I'm here to attend Qixue's engagement banquet, so I'll go back to my room to rest first."

Uncle Wu was a little surprised that Qi Wuyuan would actually come back to attend the engagement banquet, he suppressed the surprise in his eyes, saw that the complexion on Qi Wuyuan's face was better than before, and said with a kind smile: "Okay, everyone Can."

Qi's family has been cleaning Qi Wuyuan's courtyard, and now they can move in directly.

Ruan Xiaoxiao went to the guest room with the servant for the time being, Yuhui picked up the suitcase, and went back to the other courtyard with Qi Wuyuan.

After walking for a while, just as Qi Wuyuan was about to open the door of his other courtyard, his hands paused.

—There are people in the room.

In the next second, the courtyard door was opened from the inside, and Yu Bei's figure appeared behind the door.

"Sorry, I am late."
