MTL - Top Horror Novelist-Chapter 45 (1)

Chi Yiyin didn't think that her deduction was wrong. Even if the things the proprietress took so much pains to hide in front of Gu Xichao, even if it wasn't the truth, it must have something to do with the past of Xueshan Hotel and Gu Xichao.

He patiently flipped through the photo albums one by one, from black and white fuzzy to developed color film, the thick stack of photo albums seems to be the epitome of the past forty years, and the frozen smiling faces seem to be the depths of this snowy field. The truth about hotels.

As a tourist attraction, a long time ago, many tourists traveled with the whole family. The family smiled brightly in the photos, and Chi Yiyin outside the photos seemed to feel their emotions back then, and was infected by the smiles in the photos. It turned out that The cold eyebrows gradually softened.

His slender fingers resting on the photo slowed down, slowly stroking and outlining the outline of the characters in the photo.

In a daze, steel blue eyes slipped past Chi Yiyin's eyes. All the noisy noises around him disappeared without a trace, and only the echoing sound of footsteps remained in my ears. In the long and seemingly endless cold corridor, the man's long hair swayed sharply in the air, like a knife. Cut the distance between the two.

And he just stood there, watching the man's back gradually drifting away.

He didn't chase...

"Mai left, it is very likely that he opened the door to let things outside take advantage of it, it seems that we have to be careful. I don't know if there are other things here, Chi Yiyin, you'd better be careful , don’t die before I kill you.”

Jingcha's voice came from far and near, the young man's voice was slightly cold, echoing in the corridor, suddenly awakened Chi Yiyin who was distracted.

He blinked his eyes, and when he raised his eyes to look at the door, his expression had regained his composure, and all the emotions that shouldn't have appeared were gone.

"Don't worry, I've never been very good at death."

Chi Yiyin chuckled, watching Jingcha's slender figure gradually walk into his field of vision. Even though he knew it already, his eyes were still darkened, showing a subtle disappointment.

That person... never looked back once, no matter how many times he recalled that scene, the only sound of footsteps fading away and the setting sun walking in the corridor.

In the end, it fell into darkness.

Jingcha looked at Chi Yiyin, and suddenly frowned strangely: "What are you thinking, Chi Yiyin? Who do you think would come over—no, who are you looking through me?"

Chi Yiyin just looked back at Jingcha innocently, as if confused by his endless questions: "What?"

"When you were chasing Ah Mai, I found this in the proprietress' room."

As he said that, Chi Yiyin lifted the heavy photo album in his arms and showed it to Jingcha: "But it's strange, the photos here seem to be left by travelers who have been to the Snow Mountain Hotel."

"I don't know what it represents yet, but since the proprietress hid it, it should be able to tell us something."

As expected, Jingcha was attracted by what Chi Yiyin said, walked over and knelt down beside him, reached out and flipped through a few photos, and then lost interest.

"What is this, an old photo?"

He pursed his lips disinterestedly, with an annoyed look on his face: "That guy should come along, he likes to do these boring jobs the most."

Someone before the live broadcast: "..."

"Beijing tea!"

He gritted his teeth and hammered the table: "I don't analyze information, you don't even know how you died! How dare you say that my job is boring? Huh, wolf-hearted thing!"

Relying on the fact that Jingcha couldn't hear it through the dungeon, Hongniao cursed bitterly for a long time before she could relieve her anger.

But when he let out a long sigh of relief, calmed down and looked at the screen again, after seeing the few pages of photos that appeared sporadically in the live broadcast, his expression instantly became serious.

"Wait... tsk! What are you doing so quickly?"

Red Bird quickly intercepted all the photos that appeared on the scene, and then compared them with the information at hand.

Because this dungeon is only three days away from the end of the last dungeon, Red Bird has to locate the dungeon that Chi Yiyin entered according to Jingcha's request, and also collect information immediately, so what he shows to Jingcha is all sorted out by him The essence of information, a lot of seemingly useless junk information, was picked up by Red Bird.

But Jingcha didn't see it or didn't look carefully, but Hongniao was different.

He really went through all the massive information about this dungeon in the past twelve years. He was impressed with a lot of the information.

Therefore, when seeing these photos for the first time, Red Bird vaguely felt a sense of familiarity. He had seen the characters in the photos before in a huge amount of information.

He immediately started searching, and sure enough, he found the corresponding information.

In the black-and-white photos that Chi Yiyin turned over, apart from some unknown tourists, there were also some people from the Snow Mountain Town, and they were all residents of the town.

And most importantly, most of them died in the invitation event before the start of the copy story.

More than one person, one family.

And the families in these photos are not dead. If they die, the family has received invitations one after another for decades, and then died in the Snow Mountain Hotel.

According to the information collected by the red bird, the parents or grandparents of the family died first, and then when the children became adults, they would receive invitation letters as their "rite of passage". In the end, no one in the family survived. .

It's like a terrible curse from the snow mountain.

And when Chi Yiyin turned to the back, Red Bird also retrieved the corresponding information from the huge database.

These players also entered the dungeon in the past twelve years, and it seems that they were only left with a photo by the proprietress, so there is nothing strange about it.

Even if a player died in another instance after leaving this instance, Red Bird didn't feel anything wrong at first.

The game field is a place with a high fatality rate, otherwise many players would not die of poverty and would stay in the temporary residence area, not to mention ordinary players, even if a high-level player died in a dungeon someday, Red Bird would not find it strange .

—For example, his little ancestor, if it wasn't for the awakened ability that allowed the little ancestor to use a rabbit to replace himself to die, the little ancestor would have become a true ancestor.

The kind that turned into ashes.

But when the red bird was about to pass this part of the data, it heard Chi Yiyin in the live broadcast say: "With this photo as the boundary, the people in the photos in the back obviously have different expressions from the people in the photos in the front. Looking at their eyes, they don't look like residents who have lived in remote towns for a long time."

The album opened to a certain page and stopped. Chi Yiyin frowned and pointed at one of the photos. With her slender fingers, she repeatedly opened and closed the next few pages, comparing them carefully.

Chi Yiyin's observation of people can be called superb. No matter what kind of person stands in front of him, he can always see something.

There is no need for people to speak, the micro-expression on their faces has already explained everything for them.

Chi Yiyin can tell that most of the town residents' faces are peaceful and serene, similar to their own experience in the small town, they are slow and calm, they don't need to think too much, even their expressions are simple .

But the faces of the players in the photo all implied impatience.

Even though the mission of this dungeon can be said to be simple and non-dangerous, players still have to worry about their lives and deaths. The points for staying in the temporary residence area next month are earned, what about the next month? Will the next copy die?

From the corners of the players' eyes and brows, they all silently revealed their restless anxiety.

Chi Yiyin was not surprised.

The only thing that surprised him was why this photo was used as the dividing line?

And judging from the timestamp, there have been no new photos for many years after this photo.

It wasn't until seventeen years later that a photo of a player appeared for the first time.

Chi Yiyin pulled out the photo and observed it carefully, trying to find out what was wrong with it.

This is an ordinary family photo, two parents with three children, a big dog, smiling brightly at the camera.

The two young boys who were obviously older smiled and showed their pitted teeth. They were not more than ten years old when they were in the period of tooth replacement.

And in the arms of the little boys, there was a young girl.

Judging from the obvious protective attitude of the two brothers, the family is not only harmonious, but also very fond of the youngest girl. Even the big dog next to her lowered her head and rubbed against the little girl's hair. Everyone looked at the little girl with parted eyes. She was so warm and cute that people couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Chi Yiyin flipped through the photo, even took out a monocle from his pocket, and carefully checked the background of the photo.

But apart from seeing that the current hotel has been greatly renovated, there is not much to gain.

Weird dividing line...

Chi Yiyin frowned and put away the lenses, and while Jingcha was concentrating on looking at the other photos, she flipped the photos skillfully with her slender fingers, and then held the photos in her palm, and put the photos and the lenses back to herself logically arms.

Many viewers ignored this detail in the blink of an eye. Even though they had been watching Chi Yiyin all the time, they didn't realize what happened just now.

Only a very small number of players were full of question marks, confused: [? ? ? ]

[What was the job of the anchor before? Agent? Can pick locks, do autopsies, and have such quick hands... Should normal people know these things? ]

[Good guy, if I hadn’t forgotten to take off the special props I was wearing, I wouldn’t even have been able to find out what the host just did. ]

[Some people said before that many players in the game field used to have strange occupations in reality, but I still don't believe it. Now... Believe me, the occupation with the highest fatality rate is probably the occupation of most players. ]

[Um? Are you talking about programmers? ]

But because he was always paying attention to Chi Yiyin, and saw more red birds than others at this moment, he remained silent.

Red Bird: This ancestor didn't even notice what the enemy was doing...he's hiding key evidence, wake up! Look back!

Hate iron but not steel!

Red Bird never expected that because Chi Yiyin's disguise was too successful, Jingcha, who regarded Chi Yiyin as his old enemy, accidentally let down his vigilance, didn't notice what happened at that moment, and was still watching with all his attention photo album.

Even if Jingcha didn't say anything, but because of Chi Yiyin's own disguise and constant praise for him, he subtly made him think that before the battle of life and death, Chi Yiyin was a temporary "companion" who was about to be trusted .

The red bird sighed tiredly, thinking that one day he would not be surprised to see the braised rabbit head.

And Chi Yiyin also discovered the problem in the player's photo.

The number of people in the dungeon is eleven every time, but among the photos left by the previous players, some are group photos of the eleven and the proprietress, and some are just single photos.

The players in the single photo were obviously more tired than the players in the group photo, as if they had just experienced a life-and-death chase, numb and desperate, and their eyes were dull.

In the group photo, the players were smiling happily, and the proprietress was sitting in front of the players, smiling calmly and contentedly at the camera, and even faintly grateful, as if the players had done her a favor.

This difference caught Chi Yiyin's attention.

"They are also players who enter the dungeon. Under what circumstances would the lady boss treat them differently? If it were you, under what circumstances would you have a different attitude towards others?"

He asked Jing Cha.

Jingcha has almost finished flipping through the entire photo album, but found nothing, and is trying to see if Chi Yiyin has found the wrong thing and left a real clue.

Hearing Chi Yiyin's question, Jingcha looked up and thought about it, and said sincerely, "Are you telling the truth?"

Chi Yiyin nodded because he didn't understand.

Then he heard Jing Cha say: "Except for you, I think everyone else is evil, there is no one who cannot be killed."

Jing Cha snorted disdainfully, and said, "It's better if they're all dead, the less foul writing the better."

Chi Yiyin: "..."

Red Bird outside the live broadcast: "..."

He was so angry that he stood up and circled the room, just like the anger after being abandoned by a scumbag and heartless man, he scolded the little ancestor for having no conscience, and he took care of the little ancestor and his partner with **** and urine, but he didn't expect the little ancestor to say I am a badass! !

"Ah Choo!"

Jing Cha sneezed twice in a row, his eyes and nose were red, and after thinking about it thoughtfully, he realized that his companion was probably also watching the live broadcast.

So he added another sentence very carelessly: "Oh, there is another person, who can be regarded as a half-smart person."

Red Bird: #%&*&##!

At that moment, the red bird had the idea of ​​quitting directly.

But because of Chi Yiyin's attention to the players in the photos, he dutifully took screenshots and compared them one by one.

When the information of these players popped up one after another, Red Bird fell silent.

Chi Yiyin... You're right.

There is indeed a difference between a single photo and a group photo.

Red Bird used the time stamps on all the group photos to check, and listed the opening list and final results of [Snow Mountain Cry] over the years, and then he found that the time of those group photos happened to be when the dungeon ended and the player left the dungeon.

Moreover, the dungeons of these shifts can be regarded as "Happy ending", no player died, and everyone left happily with points.

However, the dungeon time of those single photos did not exist on the list that Red Bird could look up at all.

The red bird, who was slumped in the chair, jumped up in an instant, opened its eyes wide in disbelief and rushed to the screen, repeatedly confirming.

But in the middle of the opening time of the upper and lower dungeons, there is indeed a gap.

And more than once.

Long intervals in more than one place.

...someone, deleted the copy running log.

Deleting a line of code lightly, seems to be able to delete the lives of the eleven players represented by that copy.

The playground is a fickle enough place that no one cares if a stranger lives or dies. Except for new players who will lament the death that happened in front of them, old players will just step over the corpse indifferently.

In this case, no one will find the player who died in the dark and was forgotten.

What's more-how many people have the ability to query the running records of the copy?

Even Red Bird, if it wasn't for the doubts raised by Chi Yiyin, would not have remembered to compare the photos to check, but unexpectedly found this tampered record.

The dungeon is not a train, and it will not leave on time every time. If there are no these photos, even if there are blanks, it can be explained that the dungeon was not running at the time.

The player and time stamp that can be taken alone are the most powerful refutation, proving that the copy has been run once.

In addition, Red Bird also discovered another thing.

—When there is no gap, [Snow Mountain Horror] will be opened every seven days.

This is simply the duration of the copy!

That means, for twelve years, this dungeon has been running seamlessly. After sending away a group of players, new players will be ushered in immediately.

But in the records, Red Bird also found a lot of gaps, the number of these gaps even far exceeds the number of single-person photos in Chi Yiyin's hand.

...The dungeons of those shifts are so dead that not even a single player exists.

The moment this thought flashed through his mind, Red Bird sat back in his chair in a daze, staring at the screen for a long while, unable to recover.

It's ridiculous that the players also called this dungeon "Giving Points Bodhisattva", thinking that it was a mistake in the game field, and set up a useless dungeon to give them points for nothing.

After many players got the points, they would still laugh at this dungeon as too mentally retarded, without any challenge at all.

They spoke nonchalantly on the forum, wantonly insulting this dungeon, saying that it is only worthy of being used as a point-giving machine to support them.

But they don't know how many players have died because of this dungeon, and there is not even a single message from the entire game field. Those people died silently, like insects and ants preyed on by pitcher plants...

The moment Red Bird figured it out, he only felt cold, and his whole body felt cold.

What's more terrifying than a dungeon with a bad reputation?

It uses illusions to confuse players, and when players relax their vigilance, they open their mouths wide and swallow them all, but after digesting them, they return to their harmless appearance, waiting for the next wave of prey with a smile on their faces.

A dog that bites never barks.

If it wasn't for Chi Yiyin, if it wasn't for Chi Yiyin...

The red bird was so startled that it froze, and its thinking stuck for a while, before it suddenly realized another thing - Jingcha didn't know about it at all, what he saw was the information on the harmless conclusion of the dungeon he had sorted out before!

He immediately became anxious and wanted to inform Jingcha, but the dungeon was isolated from the outside world, and no one could contact the players in the closed iron box.

Even Red Bird can only worry outside the camera.

And Chi Yiyin lowered his head helplessly after asking about Jingcha to no avail, and looked at the photo again, trying to find out what it was.

The reason why he asked Jingcha was because he knew very well that there were some differences between himself and ordinary people. If he wanted to bring in the proprietress to think from her perspective, he would not be able to quickly switch to the thinking of ordinary people like the proprietress. method, this is why I want to use Jingcha's brain.

But now he realizes his mistake.

——Jingcha, who has been chasing him from the last dungeon to the present, is simply a lunatic, where does he come from thinking like an ordinary person?

After searching, Chi Yiyin also found a new problem.

The rock guy who was in the same car with him before... was actually in the single photo.

However, unlike the overly energetic and enthusiastic appearance that Chi Yiyin saw, the rock and roll man in the single photo looked tired, his eyes were dull, and his body was covered in blood, as if he had just wade out of a sea of ​​blood. .

Moreover, the rock man in the photo was seriously injured, his face was bruised and purple, half of his face was covered with blood, his head and neck were wrapped with thick bandages, and although the arm hanging on his chest had been treated briefly, it was still the same. An abnormal black glow could be seen on the exposed fingertips.

Chi Yiyin immediately took out the single-sided lens to check carefully, and found that the black on the rocker's fingertips extended into the bandage, as if his entire arm had been injured, and in his other hand, he was tightly clutching the second Only a backpack.

There is no second person around.

It seems that someone died outside the photo, leaving him with only a backpack.

But even if there is only a backpack, he seems to take it out of the dungeon.

Chi Yiyin slowly frowned.

In the previous conversation with the rock man, although Chi Yiyin obtained a lot of information about this dungeon, he even heard what the rock man himself said—it was his first time entering the dungeon.

The rock boy doesn't look like he's lying, and lies can't be hidden from Chi Yiyin.

But photos don't lie.

The time stamp above shows that Rock Boy entered the copy two years ago.

Perhaps, in Rockman's own consciousness, he really entered the instance for the first time.

He forgot everything he experienced in the dungeon two years ago, and he also forgot his companion who died here, but it didn't seem like he was escaping—after two years, he entered the dungeon again, and what he wanted was not only points.

Chi Yiyin's hand holding the photo album slowly tightened, silver-gray hair hanging from behind his ears, scattered in front of his eyes.

Jingcha was baffled by Chi Yiyin's sudden silence. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that Chi Yiyin might have been frightened by his answer just now, so he hesitated for a few minutes before slowly taking out the black rabbit in his sweater. Come out and stuff it into Chi Yiyin's arms.

Chi Yiyin quickly came back to his senses, and instinctively wanted to fight back, but only grabbed a ball of fluffy and soft.

Chi Yiyin: "...?"

When he raised his eyes, his eyes met the black rabbit he was holding in his hand. The rabbit was kicking its legs, its red eyes were like pomegranate seeds, watery and so wronged.

It took him half a beat before he realized what was going on.

"It's okay, although other people are evil, but you are not."

Jingcha looked at Chi Yiyin and said sincerely: "You are the one I seriously want to kill, don't be sad."

"..."

Chi Yiyin looked at Jing Cha with a complicated expression, and wanted to ask him, has he always comforted people like this?

Fortunately, Wang Lele came over and broke the subtle embarrassment between the two.

"Huh? Boss, why are you still here?"

Wang Lele said strangely: "I thought you would go after Ah Mai, big brother."

Chi Yiyin put the black rabbit into the pocket of his suit jacket as if nothing had happened, then waved to Wang Lele and asked him to come over and look at the photo album.

—Compared with him and Jingcha, Wang Lele seems so normal to abnormal!

Wang Lele walked over in a daze, his eyes lit up when he saw the photo album, and he let out a "Wow!", very pleasantly surprised.

Chi Yiyin immediately caught Wang Lele's emotion: "Do you know the existence of this photo album?"

Wang Lele nodded: "It's not just that I know, there is also my photo in it."

"Didn't I say that I entered this dungeon dozens of times? Every time I leave, the proprietress will change her previous indifference and greet us warmly to take a group photo, saying that it is a souvenir to prove that we have been here for a long time. tour."

Wang Lele laughed loudly: "Does it feel like traveling? Every time I take a photo together, I feel like this is not a game field, but a reality, with a familiar intimacy."

Chi Yiyin frowned, and quickly searched through the group photos.

Sure enough, Wang Lele didn't lie, at least there were dozens of group photos that Chi Yiyin found.

"Haven't you ever had a single-person photoshoot?"

Chi Yiyin asked: "Did anything special happen in the copies of those group photos?"

Wang Lele looked up and thought for a while, then shook his head, and said, "No, isn't this the standard procedure for this dungeon? Everyone completes the task, wait for seven days to arrive, then take a photo, settle the points, and leave."

Wang Lele's tone was too natural, and Chi Yiyin could tell that he really thought so, without any exaggeration.

In his cognition, this dungeon has always been so simple and unchallenging that it even made him a little uneasy when he got points, so he hesitated to enter the snow mountain route this time.

"what!"

Wang Lele suddenly yelled, and suddenly remembered: "It wasn't once! In one dungeon, a player triggered a particularly difficult task. He was an agent at the time, just like you, boss, and he wondered why the little The town killed so many people and other residents didn’t take it seriously, so it triggered a mission to investigate the truth of the invitation letter.”

"When the time is up and his task is not completed, then..."

Wang Lele shrugged: "Only that one time, the proprietress said that no one came, so she didn't take a group photo."

If one person dies, no group photos will be taken, so these single photos...

Chi Yiyin's eyes flickered, and when she read Wang Lele's words, she immediately realized the problem, and looked down at the photo album in her hand.

The time stamp of each photo is different, and the duplication time is seven days, no two photos are included in this range, it can be seen that none of these people were taken in one duplication.

Perhaps the single-person photo is the only survivor among those dungeons that appear dangerous.

But if this is the case, judging from the number of single-person photos, there must be more than one danger in the dungeon. If it is calculated over twelve years, there are more than ten thousand people.

There is such a huge amount, but there is not even a splash in the game field, and the players even think that the dungeon is a "gifting bodhisattva"...

The only explanation that Chi Yiyin can think of is that the system has manipulated and concealed the dungeon shifts that have killed people.

Just like what he discovered before, the system can cleverly evade the rules, intervene in the dungeon, and interfere with certain processes.

In the end, the danger was wiped out, and all that was displayed in front of the players in the game field was an undifficult dungeon. Survivor bias gave bystanders the illusion that this dungeon was not dangerous.

But those who died... were buried deep in the snow-capped mountains, and turned into corpses displayed under the thick ice and snow. The world doesn't even know their deaths, and the traces of their struggles are also included. Denied.

Until then, Chi Yiyin finally knew where the dead bodies on the snow mountain came from, and also accurately realized the danger in this dungeon.

The moment this thought passed through his mind, the system's notification sound appeared.

[Congratulations to the survivors! The current progress of the task "Children's Scorching Heart" is 40/100, please continue to work hard! 】

Before Chi Yiyin re-reviewed the reason for the extra 30 progress, he heard the beep sounding throughout the dungeon.

[Congratulations to all nine survivors! To trigger the task "Children's Scorching Heart", please complete it before the end of the dungeon time, the current comprehensive progress is 5/100. 】

【Currently, the task of "Children's Burning Heart" has entered the second stage, and the clearance conditions are as follows:

1. The first survivor who completes 100% progress will leave after meeting the customs clearance conditions.

Second, if all surviving survivors reach 100/100 at the same time, all surviving survivors can leave at the same time. 】

【I wish all the survivors have a good time~】

Chi Yiyin dared to say that he heard the hidden smile in the system's mechanical notification sound, which was malicious and insidious.

It is obviously a lifeless mechanical body, but it has human-like emotions. This kind of contradiction makes it full of weirdness, and makes people who hear it chill.

When Chi Yiyin keenly grasped the possible loopholes in the system and analyzed what the system said word by word, the other players were dumbfounded.

None of them thought that they would trigger the mission without doing anything.

But they were not happy at all.

— There is no hint for this mission! They don't even know what this task will ask them to do!

If you don't even know the question, how can you answer it?

Can anyone get full marks on blank test papers?

The most terrible thing is that they don't even know how to trigger it, which means they can't even find the main object of the task.

Veteran players like Chen San, who had entered this dungeon many times, also had a blank face, saying that they had never heard of this quest.

This also caused heated discussions in the live broadcast rooms of various players. Everyone was asking about the mission with this name, wanting to know what it was.

The only ones with clues were Wang Lele and Jing Cha.

The moment the prompt sounded, Jingcha looked at Chi Yiyin and said firmly, "Chi Yiyin, you have triggered the task for all staff."

Wang Lele looked at Chi Yiyin in astonishment. At that moment, he had a faint look of anger. He clenched his teeth and the muscles on his face twitched, as if he wanted to punch Chi Yiyin.

But Chi Yiyin only raised his eyelashes, and glanced at Wang Lele indifferently, Wang Lele suddenly became dumb, and sat down decadently.

"The system said just now that there are nine survivors."

Chi Yiyin didn't care about Jingcha's claim that she had triggered the incident at all, but admitted with an "um" and then talked about other topics to Jingcha.

Even though he was very clear that this might attract group attacks for him—players could have accepted the simple task and left after completing it, but because he triggered the difficult group task, they were in danger of death.

Just like Wang Lele, he originally thought that following Chi Yiyin would make him a safe fortune, but it turned out like this...

He covered his face with his hands, and sighed one after another.

However, Jingcha has quickly caught up with Chi Yiyin's thinking: "This also means that Ah Mai is dead?"

Chi Yiyin nodded seriously: "Not only that."

His eyes gradually slipped to the photo album, and he realized the reason why there are single photos.

Perhaps... some people have triggered the "Children's Burning Heart" task in the past, and some of the dungeons of those shifts were wiped out, and in some, only one survived.

The customs clearance conditions mentioned by the system are full of malice.

— Either you take all the players through the level, or you have to kill them all for yourself.

But even so, it is by no means guaranteed to pass the customs.

You still need to complete the task and find out the truth about "Children's Burning Heart".

But the problem is that according to Chi Yiyin's previous guess, the more players die, the stronger the **** monsters will become, making it more difficult to leave the instance.

No matter how you choose, players are digging their own graves, and there is no easy way out.

This simply means that there are two customs clearance conditions, light and dark. If you don't pay attention, you will miss it and cause death.

Chi Yiyin only felt that her breathing was also full of coldness.

Those who say that [Snow Mountain Cry] is a gift to the Bodhisattva, have never seen the real copy at all, it is just superficial, and they are satisfied with only a rough idea.

But it hurt them instead.

"Only a few people in the world can see the truth, have the courage and awareness to bear the **** blood, and dare to walk from the gentle place into the darkness."

The white fingers with sharp bones slowly drew circles along the rim of the teacup, the magnetic sound stirred up a shock, the tea water waved and shattered, and the reflected image suddenly seemed like thousands of evil spirits roaring ferociously.

Li Sijun lowered his eyelashes slightly, with a smile on his lips: "But most people are just happy in the pigsty, eat and sleep, sleep and eat, don't ask for deep understanding, don't ask about the vastness of the world and the eternity of stars and rivers."

"They don't care about the world, and the world doesn't care about them. Even death, they don't deserve a place in the world."

"Did you see it? He is looking for the truth of the world, walking into death on his own initiative."

He looked sideways, and looked at Gu Xichao beside him with a half-smile. There was undisguised pride in his tone: "This is my favorite actor, his name is Chi Yiyin."

Gu Xichao responded with a low smile. He took off his gold-rimmed glasses, revealed clear eyebrows, and wiped the lenses leisurely: "Do you think he guessed it?"

Li Sijun pursed his lips and said firmly, "Of course."

And Chi Yiyin frowned, murmuring the name of the mission repeatedly.

Whether it is the dungeon or the name of the task, it is the biggest hint.

This is the unanimous conclusion drawn by experienced veteran players.

And this task, toddler, young child?

Chi Yiyin suddenly remembered the words in the red envelope, and he was taken aback.

[The long-awaited trip, the reward promised by your parents, you like snow and want to witness the purity and majesty of snow with your own eyes, this will be a pleasant trip to the snow mountain for the whole family. 】

Who... who likes snow?

The reward promised by the parents, the tone, it seems that the player is playing the role of "children".

Family trip, family, family portrait...

His gaze fell slowly, looking at the photo album in his hand.

Among all the family portraits, only one is different. Since that family portrait of a family of five, there have been no photos for seventeen years.

When there are photos again, the town residents and tourists are gone, replaced by players.

Seventeen years, enough for what to happen?

Perhaps, the adulthood of a young child.

What I was unable to do as a child, I can finally do it as an adult.

In that photo, there are three children.

Two little teenagers, and a spoiled sister.

And one of them...

Chi Yiyin recalled the appearance of the people in the photo again, but what suddenly appeared in his mind was Gu Xichao's face.

If Gu Xichao took off his glasses and was more immature and younger, he would be exactly the same as the boy in the photo!

The childish child in "Children's Burning Heart" refers to Gu Xichao.

Even the reminder given in the red envelope did not mention the invitation letter at all, but instead focused on the trip to the snow mountain.

From the last dungeon, Chi Yiyin realized that the red envelope was the most important reminder the system gave players, and anything written in the envelope was a hint to the truth of the dungeon.

Just like the red envelope with the content changed last time, and even the dungeon name changed, it is clearly telling the players that what the system confirmed to them is not a real mission at all.

The system never lies.

It's just... misleading you into thinking you're seeing the truth.
