Chapter Forty-Six

Room 1326.

Except that it is more messy, this place is not much different from the hidden route. The room is filled with old and small debris, and it is almost difficult to settle in the narrow space. The strong smell of incense ash in the air has disappeared, replaced by a A strong food fragrance.

Wen Jianyan helped the old woman sit down on the rocking chair, raised her eyes and looked around the room.

Near the passageway of the kitchen, there is a shrine identical to that of 1304. The strange Bodhisattva in the shrine stares into the distance with a smile on his face.

The electronic candle was still on, like two scarlet eyes.

Although the whole room looked messy and crowded, it was obvious that it hadn't been properly taken care of for a long time, but the area around the shrine was still spotless, and fresh fruits and offerings were placed in front of the shrine.

The old woman tightly grasped Wen Jianyan's arm with her skinny and wrinkled fingers, as if she was afraid that he would disappear if she gave her away.

She groped and kneaded Wen Jianyan's wrist:

"Xiuqing, are you too busy with work after being promoted? Look, you've lost weight."

The old woman grabbed Wen Jianyan's hand and kept babbling: "I told you, I have to go home to eat at night, don't eat outside, it's unhealthy, don't go home so late again, let me eat more." Aning is worried..."

The young man sat beside the old woman's rocking chair, letting the old woman hold his hand and talk about family matters.

Qingjun's eyebrows were lowered, his expression was calm and soft, and he answered a few times from time to time, without any sign of impatience.

Suddenly, the old woman stopped talking.

She turned her head and fixedly looked over with her pair of white eyes, as if she wanted to look deeply into the other person's heart with her cloudy and half-blind eyes. Her voice was old and muddy:

"Xiuqing, Bodhisattva knows everything."

"...!"

Wen Jianyan's heart trembled slightly, and he quickly realized that he seemed to have touched some crucial clue.

He held back the old woman's wrinkled and cold palm, and replied in a natural voice that could not hear the slightest strangeness:

"Mom, what are you talking about? What does a Bodhisattva know?"

The old lady didn't continue talking.

She raised her hand tremblingly, groped around her wrist, and pulled off the beads on her wrist with difficulty, and stuffed them tremblingly into Wen Jianyan's hand:

"Xiuqing, take it."

"It's more useful in your hands than in Ma's."

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the hidden props (difficult) in the dungeon! 】

【Collection level 1/5】

Wen Jianyan froze for a moment, then lowered her head to look at the string of beads in her hand.

The dark red beads are extraordinarily bright because they have been worn all year round. They are engraved with strange runes in small golden characters. It is hard to tell what kind of texture it is, but it feels heavy in the hand.

"Okay, mom is sleepy."

The old woman patted Wen Jianyan's arm with her palm, with a smile on her wrinkled face: "Mom, sleep for a while."

After finishing speaking, she withdrew her hand, leaned back on the recliner and closed her eyes.

Soon, the old man's turbid breath resounded in the room.

Wen Jianyan narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

He thought of something, took out the phone from his pocket, and turned on the screen.

The two main missions have been completed. Although the new mission has not been released yet, the information on the identity card has been updated at some point.

【Identify card】

Name: Wu Qinghe

Age: 22

Occupation: Spiritual anchor

Related plots: [Your name is Wu Qinghe, and you are a contracted spirit-seeking anchor for a platform. Recently, you heard that there were many supernatural events in the Antai community, so, on July 14th, you brought your equipment to Arrived here, ready to shoot material for my new video "Hungry Ghost Festival".

You came to Room 1304 where the murder happened a month ago. Here, you met the mother of the victim who had gone mad. So, in order to get more information and insider information, you decided to pretend to be the deceased son, Zhou Xiuqing. 】

[More information is unlocking...]

Wen Jianyan raised her eyebrows in surprise.

After experiencing so many dungeons, it was the first time he saw that the relevant plot would be updated in real time following his actions.

With more than ten minutes left before the end of the two hours, Wen Jianyan put his phone in his pocket and decided to go back to Room 1304.

He always felt that there seemed to be some clues that he had missed.

Facing the gloomy environment in Room 1304, Wen Jianyan was no longer as scared as before. Although the three paper figurines in the restaurant still made him panic, as long as he didn't look at them, it wouldn't have much effect.

He systematically rummaged through the house and searched.

After all, this case happened a month ago. It is estimated that the police in this dungeon have already taken away most of the clues as evidence. However, with Wen Jianyan's vicious eyes cultivated in his career for so many years, he still found some clues.

First of all, Zhou Xiuqing and his wife slept in separate rooms.

Not only that, but their respective things are distinct and seem to be very indifferent, but in the man's room, many gifts from women can be seen.

Thinking of the old woman's rambling words earlier, Wen Jianyan had some guesses in her heart.

Getting promoted, coming home late, and having a disagreement between husband and wife.

... cheating?

But it seems that it is not that simple.

And... "Bodhisattva knows everything?"

Did Zhou Xiuqing do something against her conscience?

Wen Jianyan frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the Bodhisattva.

In the next second, his pupils shrank slightly, and the hairs on his back suddenly stood up.

The very evil-looking Bodhisattva opened his eyes, smiling, his dark eyes changed direction at some point, and he was actually looking straight at him at this moment.

In the pitch blackness, that silent gaze seemed particularly eerie and frightening, making one feel chills all over.

Wen Jianyan: "..."

Just, let's go.

Little life is important.

The young man's Adam's apple moved, and he cautiously moved towards the door step by step.

His slender figure was reflected in the full-length mirror at the door. There was a light layer of dust on the mirror. In the chaotic darkness, the shadow in the mirror was obviously half a beat slower.

*

Since he formed a team with Wen Jianyan, Su Cheng also entered the instance of [Antai Community] this time.

He repeated the confirmation several times before finally accepting the reality... That's right, as a novice streamer who has just been promoted to D-level, the third dungeon he participated in will be B-level.

...was like a bolt from the blue.

The audience in Su Cheng's studio was also very unbelievable.

"How is it possible? Why is it B-rank?"

"That's right, the anchor didn't do anything out of line in the previous dungeons, so it's not like his teammates...every day the car is overturned or on the way to overturn..."

"Wait, did he team up with his teammates again this time?"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I saw that the [Integrity First] live broadcast room next door has also started broadcasting, and it is also a copy of Antai Community."

"Laughing to death, I understand."

"The anchor was tricked by his teammates in this wave!"

"I'm back from next door, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha The identity card that the dog liar got is the anchor of the detective!"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha The luck of our anchor is better, at least the residents in the building don't have so many deadly missions."

"Suddenly it's balanced."

Su Cheng's identity card is a math teacher. Not long after he moved into the ninth floor, the first main task is also related to the identity card: greet the neighbors within two hours.

Soon, he met with other anchors in this dungeon.

He knew that he was not Wen Jianyan's kind of person who could tell nonsense without changing his face, so he didn't plan to hide his identity as the anchor, but formed a team with several other anchors.

Other than him, the other anchors are basically C-level, and the lowest is C-.

Because of what he learned about the oracle from Wen Jianyan before entering the dungeon, Su Cheng was very wary of other anchors, keeping his secrets about his level and information, and kept a low profile in the team along the way. .

Unlike the C-level dungeon, the first two hours of the B-level dungeon of [Antai Community] passed fairly peacefully, and did not encounter the same danger as in the beginning of [Fukang Private General Hospital].

However, Su Cheng didn't feel at all relaxed.

Judging from what the fellow anchors talked about, this kind of role-playing limited-time dungeon is often not high-powered at the beginning, and all its abnormalities are hidden under the seemingly peaceful and daily surface.

And over time, the level of danger increases exponentially.

Not only that, but the system will randomly release the main task for the host according to the identity card. The main task here is no longer optional like C-level and D-level, but as long as it is released, it must be completed.

If you are deceived by the peaceful appearance at the beginning of this time-limited role-playing dungeon, and fail to find the hidden information and laws in the dungeon in time, you will definitely die after the time node starts.

Therefore, since entering this dungeon, the anchor team that Su Cheng joined has been trying to collect more information, but the residents of this building are always silent in many key places, and they seem unwilling to talk about it.

However, one of the anchors found a new clue.

It was an old newspaper, and it published a massacre that happened on the thirteenth floor two months ago. Although it didn't describe the details of the case, it was a clear way for them.

"The thirteenth floor..."

Chen Mo frowned slightly, and a solemn expression flashed across his face: "According to the information disclosed in the newspaper, this floor is definitely more dangerous than the ninth floor we are currently on. With the clues we have, going to such a dangerous place now Is the floor a little too early?"

"I disagree."

The C-level anchor who found the newspaper, Wang Hanyu shook his head and objected:

"The two-hour time limit is coming to an end, but we're on the ninth floor with next to nothing.

Tonight is Hungry Ghost Festival. Judging from the information on the identity card, it is very likely that the dungeon will change at twelve o'clock in the evening. In other words, there is only more than one hour left before midnight, so there is no purpose It is too inefficient to blindly inquire about news from neighbors layer by layer. "

He pushed his glasses: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch tiger cubs."

The opinions of the two parties were deadlocked, so they began to vote by show of hands.

Wang Hanyu's proposal was passed with a slight advantage, and the anchors finally decided to go to the thirteenth floor to explore the way.

Su Cheng has no objection to this.

The group got on the elevator and quickly arrived at the thirteenth floor.

As soon as the elevator door opened, a distinctive and eerie atmosphere rushed over. There was a faint stench in the cold air, the light was dim, and tributes and fragrant white rice were placed on the ground every few steps. , all deeply disturbing.

The anchors looked at each other and walked forward cautiously.

"The newspaper said that the murder case happened in 1306."

Wang Hanyu lowered his voice and said: "In order to avoid danger, let's not go to the murder scene, and first find out the news of the living residents on the 13th floor."

"Okay." Everyone nodded.

A presenter said:

"According to the residents on the ninth floor I interviewed, it seems that there is a crazy old woman living in 1326."

"Crazy?" Chen Mo was slightly taken aback, and slowly narrowed his eyes: "Although it is very difficult to communicate with this kind of NPC, if you can really ask for information, it is usually very important."

Wang Hanyu said: "Let's go, let's knock on the door and ask."

The team of six was divided into two groups, three of them went to knock on the door, and the other three waited at the elevator entrance. Su Cheng was one of the anchors who were left behind at the elevator entrance.

Although the danger of staying behind and waiting is lower, there is also less first-hand information.

In the first two hours when the dungeon had just started and there was not much danger for the time being, the anchors who were left behind were actually even less dominant.

Soon, an anchor came running out of breath, his eyes lit up: "There is a clue!"

"Really?" The three people at the elevator entrance cheered up.

"Yes, the crazy mother-in-law in 1326 actually has a son who can communicate!" The anchor said excitedly, "Come on!"

"!!"

Hearing the news, Su Cheng couldn't help but get excited.

Could it be that they finally succeeded in finding a breakthrough this time!

It seems that their decision to go to the thirteenth floor was very correct!

He involuntarily quickened his pace, trotting forward with the other three.

As the distance shortened, the stench in the air intensified, and an apartment with an open door gradually appeared within sight.

A dim light and shadow emerged from the gap in the door, smearing in the dimly lit corridor.

A slender young man was standing at the door, talking to Chen Mo and Wang Hanyu in a low voice at the moment, half of his face was immersed in the shadow, and the contours of his facial features appeared blurred and distant.

The young man seemed to be holding something in his palm, but it was hidden in the darkness, so he couldn't see it clearly.

However, Su Cheng noticed that during the conversation, the eyes of Chen Mo and Wang Hanyu couldn't help but glance at his palm from time to time.

Could it be... an important prop?

Su Cheng's heart lifted slightly, he held his breath subconsciously, and his eyes couldn't help being attracted to him.

After getting closer, he finally saw clearly——

The other party held a light yellow paper copper coin in his hand.

Seemingly hearing footsteps, the young man turned his head and looked in this direction.

His features became clear in the dim light of the overhead light in the hallway.

A handsome, well-defined face, slightly pale skin, soft and slightly pouty lips, harmless amber eyes, sincere expression, focused eyes, inexplicably giving people a wonderful sense of trust, it is almost impossible to treat him What is said is called into question.

"..."

Su Cheng slowly closed his eyes.

He took a deep breath expressionlessly, his excited steps slowed down instantly, his whole body seemed to calm down immediately, and he had completely lost expectations for the information and props he might learn next.

Oh, it's you again.

Dog liar! !
