Chapter 100 The Day of Doomsday (Part 3)
As Qiao Yuan entered the dungeon, the live broadcast started automatically, and the audience followed suit. However, before everyone had time to send a barrage, they saw Qiao Yuan's shadow suddenly run away.
[It’s so powerful that they will run away when they see the host’s shadow]
[No, Sister Qiao’s shadow really ran away ah ah ah]
[I was so scared that I quickly looked at my own shadow. Fortunately, it was still curled up in bed like me.]
[The mission is to catch the shadow. I was thinking that Qiao Yuan was lucky. If the shadow is the same as her, how powerful can her shadow be...but it ran so fast? Does this world also enhance the physical strength of shadows?! ]
[ls grips the claws, it turns out I am not alone]
[I can see that the person above is a new player in the live broadcast room. I think he has no physical strength enhancement, otherwise the shadow will run and you won’t even be able to see his shadow]
[Laughing to death, you understand Sister Qiao]
【? Who are you talking about? Are you all crazy? Aren’t we talking about Qiao Yuan, that useless vase who was on the hot search a few days ago? Or is it that the entertainment industry is changing too fast now and everyone has forgotten about her?】
[Yes, Qiao Yuan, she has already cleared four dungeons. You can search for her deeds by name after the forum is restored.]
[Four copies? Haha, I know it without searching, it must be brought by the boss]
[I know you are jealous, please stop being jealous]
[I feel like this world gives me a weird feeling, even the shadows come alive]
The audience in the live broadcast room followed Qiao Yuan's perspective and followed him all the way to the villa. There were many old players in the live broadcast room, so they also saw that there was something wrong with Xiaowei in front of them. The audience who had just entered the live broadcast room were still arguing whether Qiao Yuan had noticed Xiaowei's problem, while the audience who had followed him all the way were already guessing how Qiao Yuan would use the situation to escape.
[I thought of many ways, but I never thought it would be this]
[Shadow wakes up in the middle of the night: No, is she sick? ]
[Shadow hasn't done anything yet, but the blame has already been put on him]
[Now it seems that the shadow is either not there or can't speak]
[Silence is sometimes more deafening]
[Not to mention Xiaowei, the infected person, even I, as a bystander, almost believed it]
[Xiaowei: This is difficult to comment]
[Doomsday...Infected...I don't know why, but it feels weird. I hope Qiao Yuan can catch Shadow soon.]
Qiao Yuan: "And she turned into a shadow and was running around. I came here to find her."
"But I didn't expect you were also infected. I wouldn't have pretended if I had known ."
Xiao Wei: “…”
When there was a signal, Xiaowei had seen many infected people on TV, but this was the first time she had seen a shadow replace the original owner and become a human like Qiao Yuan.
However, she did not doubt Qiao Yuan's words. After all, with the arrival of the doomsday, many strange and bizarre things emerged, not to mention that she herself was a strange infected person in the eyes of others.
She subconsciously glanced at her own shadow, luckily it was still behind her.
Although she was not a good person, Qiao Yuan's words about the shadow replacing the real person still made her feel a chill inexplicably. When she looked at Qiao Yuan in front of her again, Xiao Wei's eyes were already filled with admiration.
After all, she only killed others, but the man in front of her killed himself.
But when Xiaowei found out that the other person was not a good person, she became excited and instantly felt that she had a lot more common topics.
After hearing Qiao Yuan say that the figure he just saw was actually the original owner who turned into a shadow, Xiaowei took the initiative to offer to help Qiao Yuan find it. After all, she didn't want a mouse to sneak into her house.
Of course, the most important thing is that she has never eaten a person who has turned into a shadow, so she doesn’t know what it tastes like.
Xiao Wei: "Then let's look for it again."
"She should still be here. Whatever it is, once it enters my house, it can't leave without my permission."
When hearing Xiaowei's words, Qiao Yuan's face darkened.
No wonder she couldn't open the door no matter what she did before.
No, if Shadow is still in this room...
Qiao Yuan's heart tightened, and the next second, she heard the gurgling sound of liquid.
Qiao Yuan subconsciously turned his head and saw a light yellow liquid flowing out of the kitchen. He stood up almost immediately and realized what was going on.
Xiao Wei obviously heard it too, and looked over with a puzzled look on her face: "What's that sound... Hey, isn't that cooking oil? What's going on..."
Before she could finish her words, they turned into a sharp scream.
The cooking oil on the ground suddenly burst into flames. Because the floor and much of the furniture in the room were made of wood, the fire spread quickly.
While Xiaowei was talking, the fire had spread along the floor to her feet. Xiaowei's legs were connected to the ground, and along with her robe, they were set on fire. Her legs, which were covered with blood blisters, continued to explode under the scorching flames, and the pus that flowed out was quickly dried.
But in a flash, she was engulfed by flames and could no longer be seen. As the entire house was burned by the flames, her screams became even more inaudible.
The temperature in the room suddenly rose, and even someone with a low body temperature like Qiao Yuan could feel the scorching heat of the ground. Seeing that the fire was about to spread to her, she ran directly towards the door, and caught a glimpse of a shadow following her from the corner of her eye.
It's her shadow.
When Qiao Yuan heard Xiaowei say that Yingzi couldn't leave the room without her permission and might still be in the house, she realized the problem. After all, Yingzi didn't look like he would just sit there and wait for death. When the cooking oil spilled onto the ground, her guess was completely confirmed.
After discovering that she and Xiaowei were inclined to cooperate, the other party actually wanted to burn down the house and Xiaowei and force their way out.
There was a sound of something heavy behind her, followed by a final wail. Xiaowei was completely silent, and the tightly closed doors and windows were completely opened.
The shadow soon stood shoulder to shoulder with her, but unfortunately they were now in the fire scene, and Qiao Yuan had to be distracted by the sparks burning on the floor in the heat wave. After finding that her hands slipped over the other person's shoulders several times, she could only set her goal to escape.
After all, there is an induction cooker in the kitchen, which may explode.
But the cold touch just now told her that the shadow could be caught directly.
There was also fire at the door and windows. Shadow rushed out without any hesitation, while Qiao Yuan had to take off his coat and cover his face and hands before rushing out.
The next second after she stepped out of the door, there was a "bang" explosion behind her, and the air wave directly blew Qiao Yuan away. If she hadn't adjusted her posture and wrapped herself in clothes, she would have been bleeding from the head. However, even so, she had some minor scratches on her body, but fortunately it did not affect her movements.
By the time Qiao Yuan undressed and got up from the ground, there was no trace of the shadow in his sight.
In order to avoid a secondary explosion, Qiao Yuan was fleeing the scene quickly, with the cold mechanical voice of the system still echoing in his ears: [As expected of your shadow. 】
The audience in the live broadcast room expressed the same sentiment as the system.
【？ ？ ？】
[Qiao Yuan's shadow is so smart]
[No, if the shadow follows the real owner, it means that Qiao Yuan is the smart one.]
[Damn, I can only say that she is worthy of being Sister Qiao’s shadow. It feels like something she can do.]
[After hearing what Sister Qiao said, I didn’t get angry. Instead, I was able to seriously think about how to escape and hold Sister Qiao back… I feel like if it were my shadow, he would jump out and punch me without caring about anything. We would go straight into battle mode.]
[An infected person actually had cooking oil. It seems that he usually eats a lot of fried foods. It can only be said that fried foods are harmful to health.]
[ls, you will be sublimated. I have hidden all the cooking oil in my house]
What should I do now that the shadow is gone?
It was rare for Qiao Yuan to agree with the system.
When she discovered that Xiaowei's legs were connected to the ground, the thought of setting fire and escaping flashed through her mind. However, because Xiaowei later showed a tendency to cooperate, she gave up this idea for the time being. She didn't expect that Yingzi had the same idea.
This is consistent with what the system said before. In some ways, Shadow does know her very well.
Qiao Yuan realized the difficulty of the situation. After all, she needed to face an opponent who knew her completely.
And from what the system said, Shadow was very likely to replace her. However, when he led her into the house, Shadow had no intention of negotiating with her, and was ready to use other people to deal with her.
Qiao Yuan: "System, how can I make it turn back into my shadow?"
System: [The method requires players to explore on their own]
Qiao Yuan was not surprised by this answer. After all, it was in line with the game's usual settings.
She had previously thought that after catching the shadow, she would be able to have a long talk with it, and then they would hug each other excitedly, and promise to be together forever, and then they would hold hands and strangle the player who was replaced by the shadow, and then leave together with the shadow.
However, both her words and the fire set by the shadow completely severed the friendship between the man and the shadow.
Qiao Yuan decided to adjust the plan and first find a way to change the shadow back before going to find the other party, otherwise there is a high possibility that it will escape like this time.
And the speed must be fast.
Qiao Yuan: "I'm really worried about it..."
The system didn't expect that Qiao Yuan actually had such a soft side. Even when he was about to be blown away, he was still worried about his own shadow, which was in stark contrast to his previous behavior of throwing dirty water on his shadow.
But soon it heard Qiao Yuan say: "After finding out that I'm hard to kill, form an alliance with other shadows, infected people or humans, take control of the leadership, and then shape the player into a villain and kill him back. Then we will have to be the enemy of the whole world ."
system:【???】
System: [After all, it is just a shadow, and it can't even speak. How can it communicate with the infected and humans? ]
What kind of villain script is this?
If the shadow could speak, Qiao Yuan and Xiao Wei wouldn't have had a heart-to-heart talk.
Qiao Yuan: "You can use electronic products or other methods to convey your intentions, and you can also take the opportunity to support a puppet to take office to divert attention, so you don't have to be the first to stand out and be assassinated."
System: […You understand it well.]
Qiao Yuan sighed tiredly: "I don't understand it, I understand myself."
A sigh says it all.
system:【……】
The villain is actually next to it.
However, this also sounded an alarm for the system. After all, if Qiao Yuan's words were followed and the opponent's shadow really succeeded, other players would also face hell-level difficulty, and might even repeat the tragedy of the entire player group being wiped out.
And the more it thought about it, the more it felt that the other party was very likely to do it. However, this was a task in the game, and it couldn't blame the other party for releasing such a dangerous thing.
Thinking of this, the system's expression couldn't help but become serious.
Qiao Yuan still remembered that the system owed her a wish. She originally wanted to wait until her life was in danger before using it, but now it seemed that it was almost time.
However, considering that only one wish can be fulfilled, Qiao Yuan decided to wait until she found a way to turn the other party back into a shadow, and then let the system help her find the shadow's location, all in one go, leaving no chance for the shadow to escape.
She had basically searched the entire community. There were no living people in other houses, and she didn't find any clues, so she turned and walked towards the entrance of the villa area, ready to continue looking for clues outside.
It is impossible for the game to assign tasks without any hints.
Seeing Qiao Yuan tired and wanting to rest, the system reminded him: [Don’t rest. How can you sleep like this at your age? ]
[Other players are waiting for you to save them]
