Is this class the one I should take?

Facing Lu Shubei's question, the girl finally said something like a living person would say:

"You, want to compete with me for a job?"

Perhaps at this moment, she felt the cruelty and beatings of reality, that someone would compete with her for work anytime, anywhere.

After confirming that the girl at the front desk was just an npc, Lu Shubei took the card and went to the private room.As soon as he approached, he saw the poor boy who was dragging him was standing at the door of a private room waiting for him.

"My name is Ye Xing," he smiled at Lu Shubei, "brother, you live here, I'm on your right."

It seems that he helped Lu Shubei choose one, and he wanted Lu Shubei to take care of him.

Compared with that bad-tempered boy, Ye Xing was around his age, and he was much smoother and smarter in doing things.

Lu Shubei thanked him, and they each opened the heavy wooden door and entered the house.

The room is not big, and what's interesting is that in this narrow place, there is a bed next to the wall on the right side - as far as Lu Shubei's limited memory is concerned, he has never seen such a private room in an Internet cafe.

This may be used to give them a rest.

Lu Shubei wasn't tired at the moment, he went straight to the desk facing the door, inserted the card and turned on the phone.

He has not been to an Internet cafe for a long time, let alone such an old Internet cafe.When the screen lit up and the machine was turned on, he was still a little dazed.

After a while, the computer desktop appeared on the screen, and at the same time, the time in the lower right corner jumped to 23:57.

Lu Shubei knew that in this kind of world, twelve o'clock in the middle of the night often had a special meaning, so he waited for a while to see what would happen.

Sure enough, at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, everyone's computer automatically opened Notepad and started typing:

"Congratulations to all the players. You have won the A-type script in the novice exam. The difficulty is relatively low. All you need to have is the excellent courage to face ghosts."

This passage really reassured me a little, but it was already difficult to keep my face and heart beating when I saw a ghost.

More words continued to appear:

"Task Requirements:

Find the missing relics within five days and hand them over to the temple to complete the ritual of sending meat dumplings.

The current time has been traced back to five days before the ceremony. "

Seeing this, Lu Shubei glanced at the date displayed on the computer, it is now December 12th.

As the prompt at the top of this task said, these requirements seem to be quite simple.

And after the cursor on the notepad paused for tens of seconds, it suddenly flickered frantically, and typed out a line of red letters:

"Attention, you must never leave the Internet cafe after dark. Remember! Remember!"

This is the solemn warning this mission gives them.

After thinking of the dilapidated dead city that night in the previous dungeon, Lu Shubei understood this warning very well. If he went out at night, God knows what he would see.At the same time, he was relieved that there was no window in this room, which avoided the surprise of getting up in the middle of the night and seeing someone doing morning exercises outside the window.

After another tens of seconds, the notepad was closed, and a QQ group chat box popped up on the computer desktop.Lu Shubei stared at it, seeing the message prompts popping up constantly:

"Xia Zhimu has joined the group chat.

Jia An has joined the group chat.

......"

It didn't take long for all the players to be pulled into this group chat, and everyone's nickname was their real name.Lu Shubei opened the settings, thinking that he should change the notes for himself.

Someone had the same idea as Lu Shubei, it was a person named Song Ke, he was the first to send out the first message in this group: "All of them are real names, it's like a work group, it's too depressing. "

After he finished speaking, he rubbed his hands to change his notes.

Then 1 minute later, everyone saw that the name of the group chat changed from "Player 1 Group" to: "Father of Ultra."

Before everyone could ask questions, Song Ke jumped out and said, "I swear, I really changed my own name, not the group name!"

But the system doesn't seem to allow everyone to give themselves a nickname or something. After he did this, the system directly put his changed name on the group chat name.

Not only that, but soon some players said that she changed her note and tried to save it, but it was useless. There was no change in the group this time.

It seems that everyone has to discuss major issues in the name of Otto's father, and it's okay, it's quite structured.

Lu Shubei stared at the group of names, thinking that it would be better if he played faster before. The nickname he thought of was to wish everyone never lose in mahjong, which is much more normal than Otto's father.

But now that the group name has been decided, it's pretty good.Lu Shubei didn't look at the group again, opened the browser, and clicked on the small news window that popped up.

The web page quickly redirected to a local forum, and there was a popular post on the top: "The focused discussion post on Qiao Weiran's suicide incident.Please don't open another post for discussion, otherwise it will be dealt with in the version."

It turned out that the deceased this time was Qiao Weiran, male, only 24 years old.Not long after his death, careful netizens in City A discovered that the house he rented was already half a haunted house, so this seemingly ordinary suicide incident was instantly pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

The place where Qiao Weiran lives is indeed a haunted house.Before him, the house had been rented to two tenants successively, and they both died, and both died by hanging.

So why do you say it's half a haunted house?

Because those people died not in the bedroom or the living room, but in the basement that the landlord lent them.

It is said to be the basement, but it is actually a small and damp utility room. There is also a thick L-shaped sewer pipe hanging in it, which is rattling.The landlord had a big heart and was well-known, so he gave the tenant the key and allowed him to store some things in the basement. As long as he didn't go too far, the landlord would not charge any extra money.

But he never thought that his kindness would kill someone.

The first person to commit suicide was a man who failed to start a business.In the middle of the night, he ran to the basement, threw a rope onto the pipe, tied it, tied it in a circle, stuck his head in, and hanged there.

The man's death made the landlord depressed for a while, but fortunately, after all, he didn't die in the place where he lived, and his house can still be rented out.

However, the fate is so magical and weird. Three months later, the next tenant hanged himself in the basement in the same way.

The girl's death brought a great mental blow to the landlord, but also brought financial pressure.Some rumors began to spread. Everyone said that his house was a haunted house. After living in it, he would be cursed and led by ghosts to hang himself in the basement.

But there are also people who don't believe it, such as Qiao Weiran.

It is said that when they moved in, the landlord did not give Qiao Weiran the key to the basement, and Qiao Weiran tacitly refused to ask for it.They all thought in their hearts that as long as they didn't go to the basement, they would probably be fine.

That's how it turned out.

The morning before yesterday, the police carried out Qiao Weiran's body from the basement.Cause of death: Suicide by hanging.

In the past two days, local netizens have been talking about this matter, and some claiming to be Taoist priests said that Qiao Weiran's ghost had come to him, full of resentment.In the few pages that Lu Shubei flipped through, there were still several mysterious people talking about fortune-telling and the like.

At this time, the group was a little quiet. It seems that many people have received the news pop-up window and clicked in to read it.

After a while, the message in the group sounded.

It was Yang Jiasheng who posted a video link in the group: "Fathers of Ultra, please watch this."

Lu Shubei immediately clicked in.After enduring 60 seconds of being imprisoned for bribing his younger brother and promoted to prime minister, the game advertisement went black, and then, the sound of crackling firecrackers exploded in Lu Shubei's ears.

The video is not long, only about [-] seconds. It shows several men rushing down the stairs with something wrapped in a yellow cloth. Downstairs, the people who had been prepared for a long time started firing cannons as soon as they saw their figures. Exploded red confetti flew around.

Lu Shubei had seen this scene of sprinting for something in his cousin's wedding video before, and that scene was really similar to this one, but after looking at the title of the video, these scenes were not only incompatible with joy, but also Also full of gloom.

The title of the video reads: "Little masters are collecting the relics of the deceased and preparing for the ceremony."

There are a few comments at the bottom of the video, not many, but with a lot of information:

"2L: Hey, not only do you want to take away the hanging rope, but also burn all the relics?

4L: I heard that someone saw that there were skirts in the things the masters took out!

7L: What?Isn't he a man?

11L: Qiao Weiran, tsk, you don't mix in our circle, maybe you don't know, but that is a famous master of women's clothing. "

After Lu Shubei finished reading these few comments, the video also ended, and the screen fell into darkness again, reflecting his pensive appearance.

These little masters didn't collect all the things, so, in the ceremony five days later, the ghost caught the double.However, since they found out all of Qiao Weiran's women's clothing, what exactly did they miss?

Lu Shubei thought about it, closed the page, and was startled by the news in the group.

Just now the notification tone has been ringing, but it was covered by the sound of firecrackers.Now, Lu Shubei saw that the messages in the group were all "Thank you Brother Yang for sharing the information".

Lu Shubei poked around for a while, and found that Brother Yang was the man who gave him life guidance and made him face the reality bravely.

Brother Yang took the initiative to live in a private room with risks before, and now he is actively collecting information. He is going to secure the position of "group leader".

This is nothing, in every dungeon, there is always someone who is willing and suitable to be the leader of a small team. This situation is much better than the players split into several teams - Lu Shubei has experienced that kind of thing, If there was no novice protection mechanism that time, everyone was basically wiped out.

The group was still adding one and one, and Lu Shubei's eyes hurt from watching. He stood up and planned to lie down on the bed for a while, but at this moment, a scream came from outside the door.

The sound insulation of the private room is very good, and you can't hear the movement outside under normal circumstances.Since the screams can come in, how loud the screams must be.

This task warns them not to leave the Internet cafe at night, but it is still possible to come out of the private room.Lu Shubei opened the door a little and was watching, but at this moment, there were successive creaking sounds of the door being opened nearby.

They looked out and saw a man lying on the ground near the reception.Someone recognized him and said he was also a player.

At this time, he was not only lying on the ground, but was dragged by two men by his legs.He yelled like a pig being slaughtered, his legs kicked in vain, and he raised his head and looked desperately at the players hiding behind the door:

"I'm going out! I'm going home!"

By the way, weren't those newcomers who clamored to go home already killed in the classroom?Unexpectedly, there is another fish that slipped through the net here.

While the player was wailing, the girl at the front desk who had been watching a movie suddenly raised her head.

She showed a half-hearted smile at these players.

And immediately lowered her head again, returning to the lazy look before, as if the person who was smiling grimly just now was not her at all.

Warning, bright warning: going out at night, that's what happens.

On the other side, watching their companions being tortured like this, the players couldn't bear it anymore. After someone yelled "Look at the ad", the other players followed suit.

At this moment, it is estimated that the system also gave the player a reminder. After a while, the dragged person changed his words and shouted: "I want to watch the advertisement!"

Not long after he said this, those who were dragging him let go.

Lu Shubei originally thought that this person would disappear immediately, but no, the two people helped the player and walked him out. The content of the player's mouth also changed again: "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala!"

The man on the left who was supporting him turned around helplessly, and said to the people in the hall, "Sorry, this is my cousin from the countryside, and he has a problem with his head."

With that said, they walked to the door.

The moment before the door was opened, all three of them turned their heads and showed three identical smiles to the players.

"Pa-ta!" After seeing the uniform movements and smiles of the three of them, someone immediately closed the door.

Lu Shubei also returned to the room. On the computer screen, he saw the latest system prompt message appearing in the chat box:

"Player Li Yao has left the group chat."

Below this message, Yang Jiasheng sent a message, saying:

"good night."

In the early morning, the fathers of Otto, who are worth tens of millions, woke up from a room of a few square meters.They came out of the private room and stood there in a daze with dark circles under their eyes, dazed for a long time.

Lu Shubei was the most sober among the group of people. After all, as a repeater, he had taken the exam so many times, so he had a strong mental capacity. Last night, he even played gold miners for a while.

But the other players are different. Some of them are still lucky, thinking that they can return to the human world after waking up.

At this moment, as Yang Jiasheng said, everyone can only face the reality and solve the task.But now, the first thing they have to solve is the problem of being hungry.

The girl at the front desk said that they can take whatever is in the container.Lu Shubei followed a few players there, thinking about eating some bread or something, but the girl didn't bring them something right away, but smiled sweetly.

For some reason, this sweet smile of hers was even scarier than that eerie smile last night.

The girl pointed at the transparent container and said with a smile: "Are you sure you don't want a meat dumpling? This is a special snack of our Internet cafe. It tastes very good."

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and they saw a dozen rice dumplings piled up on the top floor of the cabinet.

Although the zongzi eaten in the classroom did not leave any psychological shadow on everyone, and the taste was really good, but now everyone looked at each other, and no one wanted to ask for it.

The girl didn't make things difficult for them, and lowered her head to watch the movie again.

Later, it was Yang Jia who yelled. He said that a wallet suddenly appeared in his room with 1000 yuan in it. Everyone can go back and have a look.

So these players standing at the front desk immediately went back to the room, and found that there was also a black rectangular wallet on their desk, and took it up with a long sigh of relief.

Now, they have the money to travel by car, and even more money to eat.

After a few minutes, they went downstairs.

Downstairs on the right is the funeral supplies.There is a snack bar opposite, but it is not open yet.The players looked to the right, and saw that in the upper right corner of the intersection, there were several vendors selling soy milk and finger cakes, and they could be reached just across the road.

"Ah, I'm about to starve to death," Ye Xing walked to Lu Shubei's side, and smiled wryly, "But I don't want to eat those zongzi, brother, let's go buy finger cakes."

Lu Shubei was also hungry, the smell of the hand pancakes had traveled so far, it was really delicious.

After a while, the players are all walking forward, waiting for the traffic lights, and preparing to cross the road.

Ten seconds later, the villain on the opposite side turned green, and everyone walked over with a huff.

There were no problems throughout the whole process, and there were no accidents. However, when the people in the front reached the opposite side, they were stunned.

Immediately afterwards, when the players behind reached the opposite side, they all froze in place.

They obviously crossed the road, but when they passed by, the buildings in front of them turned into the same as before: the old building where the Internet cafe was located, the funeral supply store, and the building full of small advertisements. telephone pole.

It's as if they've stayed there, never crossed the road.

Or, are they back where they were?

Obviously they passed by here last night, what's going on here now?

Everyone turned around and saw that the little green figure had turned red, and on the opposite side of the road were the buildings they had seen before.The hand pancake maker is still skillfully holding the vegetables, the soy milk seller is handing out cup after cup, and the people on the street are hurrying past, all of which seem normal.

Seeing this, Lu Shubei's heart moved: It seems that they can't go there, they can only move around in a certain area of ​​the city.

Many people realized this, and at the same time, some people wanted to try again, and walked alone and bravely to the side of the crosswalk.

As soon as he took a few steps, there was a sneer from the crowd behind him: "The world will give us a chance when we try for the first time. But if you want to try a second time, you may die."

Lu Shubei followed the prestige, and saw that the one who spoke was the boy who gave Yang Jiasheng a bad look last night.

It's a pity that many players don't like him, including that person. Seeing that this young man was stopping him, he wanted to go even more, and said, "If you are afraid, you can just stay by yourself."

At this time, Yang Jiasheng couldn't bear it anymore, and stood up to stop him, and the more this happened, the more that person refused to turn back.

At this time, the little man turned green again. The man took a deep breath and was about to take a step.

Some of the players watched the play silently, and they thought it was good that a stunned young man came out to find the way for everyone.

Ugh.

Lu Shubei saw the embarrassment of that person not being able to get off the stage, and also saw the embarrassment of the boy who was targeted, so he got a headache. This time, everyone was able to make such a fuss at the beginning.

The moment the man lifted his foot, suddenly, Lu Shubei's voice came from the crowd:

"You should see it, the opposite side of the road and this side are like two worlds."

The boy laughed again: "Stop trying to persuade him, he won't listen."

Lu Shubei continued, "I think I can go."

Now, the crowd fell silent, and the man turned around.

Lu Shubei laughed, with the clear light of the morning sun shining in his eyes:

"Remember, when crossing the road, you must walk while thinking that you are an ambassador sent by this world with a halo on your head, and silently recite the eight-character mantra:

The two countries are at war, and the envoys will not be beheaded. "
