I'm running a safe house in unlimited streaming

Song Yang came out of his private login room.

When he came out, there was no one in his personal space. Jia Qing and Feng Shi were not there, so he probably hadn't cleared the dungeon yet.

Song Yang took the space key from the space bag into his hand, and with a thought, a door opened in front of him.

Open the door, there is a communication hall outside, people come and go, most of them gather in front of the big holographic screen, discussing the newly updated player ranking in Smile City.

Song Yang looked up silently.

No.1, 5390 points.

No.2, 2078 points.

No.3, 2070 points.

No.4, 2036 points.

……

There are whispers all over the game lobby.

"The score of the No.1 boss has become more than 5000?! It has skyrocketed by more than 4000 in a week?!"

"The first one must be one of the five people who entered the four-star dungeon a few days ago... The clearance points for the four-star dungeon are only 80, so counting the points..."

"Wait, this time the four-star dungeon won't be the only one who clears the level alone, right? He took all the head points by himself??"

"The top four should not have changed much, and the second, third and fourth places are still clinging tightly, but you see, there is a sudden disconnect between No.6 and No.9!"

Song Yang slowly scanned the entire ranking list.

Every week, someone is suspected of disappearing from the charts.

Death is a thing that can be seen everywhere in Smile City, and no one will know where these disappeared people are.

And among them, will there be that young man like a fox?

Song Yang lowered his eyes, remembering the system sound that sounded in his consciousness when he left the dungeon just now.

"Congratulations to player Song Yang for passing the Samsung copy of "Death Ring"!"

"The full score of the three-star dungeon is 50 points, and player Song Yang's clearance score is 49 points!"

"Player Cheng Jiayu is dead, 87 points will be distributed; player Ma Qiu is dead, 75 points will be distributed; player Ye Xiang is dead, 222 points will be distributed; player An Ruming is dead, A total of 112 points will be distributed; player Wang Zhi is dead, a total of 65 points will be distributed; player Xia Jing is dead, a total of 4 points will be distributed."

"The total number of points to be allocated is 565, and player Song Yang gets one-fifth, which is 113 points."

"Player Song Yang has a total score of 162 points for clearing the customs, and the current cumulative score is 5390 points. Please continue to work hard!"

Player Xia Jing has a total of 4 points.

That young man seemed to have the habit of squandering all his points as soon as he left the dungeon, and it was impossible for him to enter the top [-] rankings.

Even if he died, he just died quietly in a corner of this strange world.

Song Yang couldn't tell what mood he was in.

He stood silently for a long time, and finally, he only called up the small holographic screen, withdrew the reward order he issued a few days ago, turned around and left.

About 5 minutes after he left—

In an unremarkable corner of the game hall, a certain public login room jumped from a green light to a red light.

The next second, the door of the login room was opened, and a young man walked out from it.

The young man was slender and composed, and when he came out, he glanced at the leaderboard on the big holographic screen.

When he noticed the jump in the score of No.1 on the leaderboard, Xia Jing's eyes moved slightly, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

His guess should be right.

Song Yang is currently the player with the highest total points among the players in Smiley Face City.

That man is capable, decisive, and has a clear goal. The soaring points are inevitable, but I don't know why he didn't even take a piece of the monster's body this time.

Could it be that something happened temporarily and he left in a hurry?

Xia Jing only thought for a moment, then put this irrelevant question behind him.

Back in the safe house, Tuanzi warmly came up to greet him.

Xia Jing closed the door, and the safe house immediately started its daily drift.

This time in the game, Xia Jing was judged dead by the dungeon.

Although he finally exited the dungeon relying on his immortality, he didn't get any points, and the original 4 points were confiscated, and he only got back a big bag full of monster pieces.

——Fortunately, this is what Xia Jing wanted most.

He walked by the window, gently tapped the head of the mike mob, the mike mob trembled, opened his mouth obediently, and sang enthusiastic rock music vigorously.

Just as the music sounded, Xia Jing walked into the kitchen and began to "dismember the body" happily.

The attack part of the train monster is the throat, and the name of the monster prop is "throat that devours everything".

Xia Jing hung all four monster props on the shelves of the small supermarket for sale, and stored the rest of the monster bodies.

But when he closed the warehouse door, he paused.

With a second thought, Xia Jing hooked his lips, took some monster body parts, and came to the living room of the safe house.

Consumption is unavoidable, if you have time, you should enter a few more low-star dungeons and bring back more monsters.

……

This night, the Smiling Face City forum became a sensation again, a post quickly went viral and remained on the front page for a long time.

The title of the post is "Did anyone enter the safe house today?"

1L: "No laxatives, today is still a day of embarrassment and hiding from monsters."

2L: "What's the matter, is this asked every Monday?"

3L: "The chance of encountering a safe house is very small. I've been here for two months and haven't encountered it once..."

4L: "My God, you have been in the host, right? Have you played?"

5L: "? What are you talking about upstairs, what are you playing?"

6L: "I purchased game consoles through the safe house, and there are ten of them. It is a monster-fighting game. There are various monsters in it. I also encountered monsters that I had killed before, and this time I was killed [smile] "

7: "????"

8L: "Huh????"

9L: "Brother on the 6th floor, coincidentally, I entered the finals today, and I was also killed by the monster [dog head] that I personally killed in the dungeon."

10L: "Finals?? Wait, how many of you are playing?"

11L: "I'm the one from 6L, although I'm embarrassed to admit it, but the two brothers who also hid in the safe room were the ones who played the same game as me at that time, and the beauty store manager and his golden retriever [cover face] Neither the store manager nor the dog was dead when I died, and in the end the dog died heroically to protect the store manager, and the store manager won [cover face]”

12L: "??????"

13L: "Dog???"

14L: "??? The brother on the 6th floor can't even beat a dog repairer?!"

15L: "Shit, no wonder I saw the safe house in a blink of an eye when I was killing monsters today, and wondered what the people in it were doing together! They were playing games!"

16L: "I also want to play games with the beauty store manager [saliva]"

……

It's actually May.

Song Yang took advantage of the May Day holiday to go home, and received a call from Feng Shi as soon as he entered the house.

Feng Shi was one year older than him, and he was a graduate student. The two grew up together, but they didn't expect to be selected by Smile City together after they grew up.

On the phone, Feng Shi asked: "Have you withdrawn the reward order?"

Information about Smile City will be erased in reality, provided that the player clearly reveals the existence of Smile City.

As a result, many players have learned to "encrypt communication", and as long as they are careful, some small things can still be mentioned cryptically in the real world.

Song Yang thought of this, and simply explained: "Well, I withdrew two days ago, I forgot to tell you."

Feng Shi continued to ask: "Have you found the other party?"

"No," Song Yang turned around and leaned against the window, his eyes downcast and said calmly, "that person is dead."

Feng Shi paused, and asked: "Are you sure he's dead? I just came out of a game and received a call from someone who said he met a person very similar to your description."

In their communication, "game" refers to copy.

Song Yang subconsciously stood up straight, but he soon realized that this was probably for a bounty, and when he saw a similar person, he would ignore the player who rushed over at 21.

Xia Jing's death was clearly notified by the Smiling Face City system, and there can be no exceptions.

Feng Shi asked: "Then what should I say now, do you want to see him, or forget it?"

Song Yang glanced at the time, it was still early, and his parents and sisters hadn't come home yet, so he said, "I'll go in."

After entering Smiley Face City, he and Feng Shi met in the personal space.

Feng Shi and that player are currently only communicating through the small holographic screen, and they agreed to meet again if the information is useful.

But because of this, the other party asked them to provide a weapon sold in the official supermarket of Smiley Face City as a deposit in order to prevent them from prostitution.

Feng Shi placed a weapon in the corner they had agreed upon in the game hall in advance. At this moment, a phone call came in on the small holographic screen, presumably the other party had already taken the weapon.

Feng Shi connected the phone, and the man said: "I ran into that person in the one-star dungeon "Stars" today! I remember very clearly that this dungeon was a nine-player dungeon, and the players who got together at the beginning were indeed nine [-]. Five old players, four new players."

"When the game was halfway through, everyone ran away. I acted alone, but when I encountered a monster, a strange player suddenly killed him. That guy chopped the monster, took the head and ran away without a trace. !"

"I was taken aback. After the dungeon was over, I thought something was wrong, and then I remembered the bounty order you posted. I don't know the character of that guy. I only had one face to face with him, but his face The one above is definitely a human skin mask, and the painting style is indeed very 'personal'..."

When the brother mentioned those four words, his tone was very subtle.

Song Yang's heart moved, and he asked, "Are you sure that player wasn't among the nine at the beginning?"

The other party was very excited: "I'm sure, that guy is too ugly, just, ugly like a human being, I don't know how to describe that face, anyway, if I see this guy, I will definitely not forget it." Yes, he is definitely not among the other eight people at the beginning. By the way, brother, what is the identity of this guy? How can ordinary players sneak into the dungeon halfway? Why do I feel a little weird!"

After hearing these words, Feng Shi looked at Song Yang.

He hasn't asked Song Yang about the person on the reward order so far, only heard from Jia Qing that the person Song Yang is looking for may be a young man named "Xia Jing".

As for why Song Yang wanted to find the other party all of a sudden, Jia Qing didn't know why the other party's name hadn't been announced on the reward order.

Jia Qing didn't even know when Xia Jing and Song Yang got into a dispute over monster props.

Feng Shi knew Song Yang better, and he could probably guess that there must have been more unknown things between Song Yang and that young man named Xia Jing.

It's just that Song Yang didn't intend to tell them, so he wouldn't ask.

But he didn't expect to hear such news at this moment.

But Song Yang's face was not surprised, but more contemplative, suspicious, and puzzled.

……

Song Yang clearly remembered what he encountered in the four-star dungeon last time.

He was sure that Xia Jing had stepped into the dungeon midway, that young man was not even a little bit afraid that others would notice how weird his appearance was, and was very bold and reckless.

If what the player who came to contact them said was true, then this situation was indeed very similar to his last experience.

But still the same sentence, the Smiling Face City system has already broadcast Xia Jing's death.

Unless there is a bug in Smiling Face City, it is absolutely impossible for this player to meet Xia Jing.

But if it wasn't Xia Jing, who would this player meet?

A person whose behavior habits are so similar to Xia Jing, who even has the same ability to break into the dungeon in progress like Xia Jing.

Will they be a group?

Song Yang thought for a long time and asked, "When you saw that person, did you find anything else wrong?"

The other party thought for a while, and said: "No, anyway, I didn't see this guy later, I kept running away, and I ran into a safe house on the way... By the way, did that guy come out of the safe house? of?"

Song Yang vetoed: "If the player leaves the safe house, he will only return to the instance he originally belonged to."

The other party muttered: "That's right, if that guy entered the safe room from another instance, he wouldn't be able to come back to our instance after leaving the safe room."

Moreover, it is absolutely impossible for a player to jump directly from the last opening of the same copy to the next opening through the safe house.

Some players have tried it.

Normally, after the game is over, the dungeon will give the surviving players about 10 minutes to exit the dungeon one after another.

But if a player enters the safe house at this time, the closing time of the copy will be extended until he comes out.

In other words, it is absolutely impossible for players who entered the same dungeon when it was opened last time to stay in the safe room until the dungeon is opened for the second time and join the second batch of players.

So no matter how you think about it, the situation encountered by the player who contacted them at this time is as wrong as that of Song Yang.

The safe house, however, was a clue.

Song Yang said, "Let's meet up."

He thought that he might have to find a way to track down the safe house, the most mysterious existence in the city of smiling faces.
