Chapter 106 The Day of Doomsday (Part 9)
Le Wenfei himself did not expect things to turn out like this.
He only remembered that he was waiting for the computer to download a new game, but he didn't expect that his eyes went dark and he came to this strange place. His ecstasy of finding the gold leaf was soon interrupted by the mechanical sound in his ears. Whether it was the shadow of self-awareness that suddenly appeared, the empty streets, or the movable lucky cat ornaments that he encountered later, all overturned his worldview of the past twenty years.
The only thing that made Le Wenfei feel relieved was that he met someone who was involved in the game like him. The first person he met was Li Qiang. After discovering that he brought gold, he half threatened and half coaxed him into paying for the room. Not to mention Li Qiang's tall and strong physique, the other party's understanding of the game also made him subconsciously want to obey, hoping that Li Qiang could protect him.
When he first arrived in a strange place, he was like a fledgling, wishing he could follow the other party all the time. Especially among several players who were still able to chat and laugh with broken hands and eyes, or who looked familiar but were either difficult to approach or had already formed a group, Li Qiang seemed much more normal.
But to Le Wenfei's disappointment, he could not continue to stay with Li Qiang because of the room's limited number of people, and could only stay alone in the room. Because of the fear, Le Wenfei had no sleep and tossed and turned in bed. But he did not expect to hear an impatient voice from next door, asking him why he was so noisy and whether he would let others sleep.
Just as Le Wenfei was about to apologize, he realized the problem——
He remembered that the players had discussed before that the hotel had good sound insulation, so why could he hear this sound?
After realizing this, Le Wenfei listened carefully and found that the sound did not come from next door, but from...
wall.
Although he was facing Zhaocai who could speak at that time, he was accompanied by Li Qiang, but now he is alone...
After realizing this, Le Wenfei couldn't help himself, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
When he woke up, it was already daybreak, and there was a dark object in front of him, which made the dagger in his hand look as bright as snow. If he hadn't just woken up, Le Wenfei would have fainted again.
Fortunately, a piece of paper had been stuffed in front of him, letting him know the other party's identity -
This is Li Qiang’s shadow.
According to Li Wall Shadow, if it had not appeared to save Le Wenfei and solved the problem in the wall, Le Wenfei would have died long ago. The other party also saved him for a reason, and wanted to cooperate with him.
Le Wenfei had heard from Li Qiang before that the other party had fought with Shadow and it ended in a draw.
Le Wenfei knew that Li Qiang spoke very directly, and the opponent's shadow was obviously more direct. He said that he had been secretly observing them for a while and found that only when Le Wenfei, a novice, approached Li Qiang would he not be alert, and the shadow could take this opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Le Wenfei had no right to refuse. After all, although Li Qiang's shadow might not be able to kill Li Qiang alone, it was more than enough to kill him. What's more, the other party also promised to help him find his own shadow.
After assuming that everyone else on the same floor had left, he knocked on Li Qiang's door as Shadow had taught him. Li Qiang hadn't left yet, and when he saw that it was him, he was surprised, obviously not expecting him to be alive. However, when he heard that the other party had gotten through the test by luck again, he showed an expression of "as expected".
Because it was already daytime, Li Qiang was fed up with Le Wenfei's pleading, so he finally let him in.
Li Qiang's shadow suddenly attacked at this time, but Li Qiang's reaction was not slow either. He quickly dodged sideways, and the man and the shadow soon got entangled. Li Qiang looked at Le Wenfei, not knowing whether he didn't notice that the other party was standing on the same side as the shadow, or he knew that he could only pretend not to know at this time, and still asked him to come and help him.
With one man and one shadow forming a balance, Le Wenfei's tiny power was finally seen.
Le Wenfei finally chose to stand on Shadow's side and helped Shadow hold down Li Qiang's hands and feet, killing him. Because Li Qiang struggled so hard, Shadow stabbed him several times, and it was not until the last stab that he finally died.
It was the first time that Le Wenfei saw a person die in front of him. As the dagger penetrated his chest, the other person's body began to twitch violently until he finally calmed down. But until he died, he stared at Le Wenfei, as if accusing him of being an accomplice.
This look was deeply imprinted in Le Wenfei's heart. He had never killed chickens, ducks, or fish in the real world, but now he watched a living person die in front of him. He didn't actually use the knife directly, but when he looked down at his hands, he seemed to see that they were covered with blood.
But as the shadow overlapped with the corpse on the ground, the eyes that were originally full of resentment blinked and regained their vitality. Everything happened so fast that when Le Wenfei saw the person who had died and now appeared in front of him, he was still a little slow to react. His brain instantly tensed up and he subconsciously wanted to run. It was only after he heard the other party say that he was a shadow that he realized that it was not a fake corpse.
Although this process seemed similar to a zombie in Le Wenfei's opinion.
Le Wenfei also remembered that there was a reward for killing the substitute player's shadow, but he didn't have the courage to do so. He could only hesitantly say that he would keep the matter a secret and asked Li Qiang when he could help him find the shadow. He just wanted to get out of the dungeon as soon as possible.
However, Shadow, who had already obtained Li Qiang's body, still had to treat the wound, so he pulled out a fruit knife while answering perfunctorily, and even Le Wenfei could tell that he was perfunctory. The continuous pressure made Le Wenfei overwhelmed, and he subconsciously accused the other party of lying to him. However, even these angry words sounded funny to Li Qiang's Shadow.
The goal had been achieved, and Li Qiang's shadow was too lazy to deal with Le Wenfei anymore. After admitting it, it began to ridicule him, saying that his voice was as thin as a girl's, and that he was timid, cowardly, and cowardly. When it went in and saw Le Wenfei fainted on the ground, it thought that he was scared to death. It said that it had encountered his shadow, and that it was as timid as him, and only knew how to hide, but not how to occupy his body...
In the real world, Le Wenfei often didn't fit in with everyone because he was too timid, and was bullied by some gangsters. At this moment, the figures of those gangsters seemed to overlap with Li Qiang in front of him, and the sharp laughter seemed to drown him. He felt that the string in his mind broke at a certain moment, and then twisted into a ball with other nerves. He looked at Li Qiang with his back to him, wondering why he was standing in front of him now, if he had died before...
He picked up a chair.
The shadow said that Li Qiang would not be on guard against him, but it itself was the same, and just like Li Qiang, it ignored Le Wenfei's anger.
He didn't know when Li Qiang fell to the ground and didn't move. He only knew that he dropped the things in his hands and sat on the ground when he was tired. The things stuck on the frame of his glasses blocked his vision, so he didn't have to face what was happening in front of him.
It was not until he saw Li Qiang's face that Le Wenfei finally came to his senses. He wanted to escape, but the other players would not let him do so.
After Le Wenfei finished speaking, he curled up into a ball again.
After making sure that he was not lying, everyone ignored him and had different expressions on their faces, as if they were thinking about something.
What the other party said was similar to what Qiao Yuan had guessed, but Le Wenfei's words still answered a question in her mind.
How does a shadow replace its original owner?
Because Qiao Yuan himself is the kind of person who can absolutely eradicate the enemy completely and will definitely make the last hit if he can, so although he does not agree with his shadow choosing to blow himself up, he can understand it.
However, judging from the fact that Li Qiang's shadow killed the original owner, if one wants to replace the original owner, the original owner must be killed. And the shadow that replaced the original owner can also be killed like a normal person.
Qiao Yuan felt that whether the other party had fatal injuries could also be used as a criterion to judge whether it was a shadow.
Moreover, Li Qiang's shadow had been lurking around them, but they didn't notice it. And it seemed that the shadow was not a guest, and Zhaocai didn't even let it pay.
With Shadow's death, it is impossible to verify where the other party was hiding, but Qiao Yuan guessed that he was probably in the shadow.
It can only be said that although Li Qiang's shadow thought of cooperating with players, he was still too self-righteous.
The others didn't expect that Shadow would actually cooperate with other players. Yu Guo glanced at Li Qiang's body on the ground, shrugged, and then sighed: "Yesterday he was still asking where to find his shadow. I didn't expect that the other party has always been around. He still doesn't understand me."
"Of course, I don't know me either."
Yan Yi then said: "Since the matter has been investigated clearly, I will leave first."
Although he had acted with other players in the previous dungeons, it was obviously not suitable for this dungeon. Although cooperating with players was only the behavior of Li Qiang's shadow, who knew if his own shadow would follow suit. In Yan Yi's opinion, it was even more dangerous to stay with other players now.
No one else intended to stop him, and Yu Guo even said goodbye to Yan.
After Yan Yi left, Qiao Yuan and others also prepared to leave, after all, the daytime time was limited.
Le Wenfei was still huddled in the corner. Even when he heard several people say they wanted to leave, he did not react. He just hugged himself tighter, and it seemed as if he had completely lost the will to live.
Yu Guo looked at Qiao Yuan: "It's hopeless, let's go."
Before leaving, Yu Guo wanted to go to the restaurant to get some food, but after going downstairs, she regretfully discovered that the door of the restaurant was locked: "Alas, it seems that I can only find some food on the way."
Qiao Yuan touched the food in the plastic bag in her pocket and said nothing. She had brought some food with her because she thought she might not be able to come back after leaving the restaurant.
When a few people passed by the front desk, there was already a fortune-attracting figure at the front desk.
The other party's expression was still smiling, and Qiao Yuan and others did not ask it why there were those things in the room. After completing the check-out procedures, they got up and left with it saying "Welcome to visit next time, meow~"
Song Yanchi really wanted to part ways with Sheng Guiye and Yu Guo, and continue searching with Qiao Yuan.
But Yu Guo smiled and said that he wanted to follow Qiao Yuan. Seeing Song Yanchi was about to explode, he asked in confusion: "Hey, why do you look so angry? Did I disturb your and Qiao Yuan's world of two?"
Song Yanchi blushed a little when he heard the other party bluntly call it "a world for two", but he quickly came to his senses. Just as he was about to get angry, he heard Qiao Yuan say "OK", obviously agreeing to Yu Guo's joining.
After Qiao Yuan spoke, Song Yanchi had to endure it even if he was angry.
What he didn't expect was that, not only Yu Guo, but Sheng Guiye was also following them, obviously wanting to act with them.
Song Yanchi: "..."
In contrast to these two people, he realized how sensible Yan Yi, who had left first, was.
But his attention soon fell on continuing to look for a way to restore Shadow to his original state.
After leaving the hotel, they were greeted by another unfamiliar street. Although they tried their best to look for it, they still had no clues, and most of the items in the shops had been looted.
Seeing that it was already afternoon, Qiao Yuan didn't want to waste any more time here, but decided to go to District 9 mentioned in the flyer.
While Qiao Yuan and others were looking for clues, the comments in the live broadcast room were still discussing:
[I didn't expect that Li Qiang's shadow would actually cooperate with the players]
[It seems that it is better not to cooperate with players easily]
[It's such a pity for Le Wenfei. He is the luckiest newbie I have ever seen. He got the gold leaf by accident without losing his hands or feet, and he also successfully killed the player who was replaced by the shadow. It's a pity that his psychological quality is too poor.]
[Yeah, a good hand of cards played badly]
[But Li Qiang is too dismissive of newbies. At least they should do a good job on the surface. Isn't Qiao Yuan in front of him an example?]
[I think Li Qiang probably only read the forum and didn’t watch Sister Qiao’s live broadcast. Anyway, since I watched Sister Qiao’s live broadcast, I no longer look down on newbies. What if it’s another monster newbie like Sister Qiao?]
[Hahahaha, me too]
[…It turned out to be Yu Guo. I’ve worked with her before. She’s really crazy. Qiao Yuan chose to go with her. I can only wish Qiao Yuan good luck.]
[Who wouldn't be crazy in a dungeon? If you mean someone who can still laugh about digging out eyes, I think you know too few people. Anyway, you will recover after leaving the dungeon. It just affects your actions in the dungeon.]
[Of course I'm not talking about this incident... The forum just happened to be broken, and you didn't see what she did in the previous instance, otherwise it would have caused a lot of discussion if it had been released.]
[So what exactly is going on?]
[Curiosity is aroused]
[Hey, where is the person who said Yu Guo was crazy? Why did he run away so quickly? Why don’t you say something?]
[So are there other people in the live broadcast room who have worked with Yu Guo and would like to speak out?]
[No? What about the audience who watched her live broadcast?]
[I've been watching Sister Qiao recently, so I don't have time to watch others]
【ls me too】
[Uh, excuse me, are any of you reading the forum?]
[? The forum is back? Finally... Without the forum, I feel like my sources of information are much more blocked]
[This tone... Is there something fishy going on in the forum again? ]
