Chapter 212 She is a Stranger
Xu Lin's parents were already middle-aged, and their hair had turned white, perhaps because they were worried about Xu Lin's death. In addition, they looked extremely tired after the long journey.
But even so, the moment they saw Qiao Yuan and the others, they rushed forward and shouted anxiously. Xu's mother even broke her voice and said, "Where is she? Tell me!"
But she did not wait for the answer from Qiao Yuan and others.
Because Mr. Xu behind him suddenly took a few quick steps and then pulled Mrs. Xu's sleeve.
Xu's mother wanted to shake his hand off, but then she heard Xu's father's trembling voice: "Look..."
Mother Xu turned her head and looked in the direction Father Xu was looking, her pupils shrank instantly.
She saw the body lying nearby.
Although she recognized it was Xu Lin from the familiar facial features at a glance, she still stumbled forward to confirm carefully.
Xu's father followed closely behind.
Mother Xu took the half-body into her arms and looked at the facial features of the corpse carefully. Then, as if all the strength in her body had been drained away, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Father Xu was in tears. He turned to look at his fainted wife and called her name. Then he looked at his daughter's body and called Xu Lin's name softly.
The private detective nearby recognized the body as Xu Lin the moment he saw it, but the body was definitely one of the most miserable he had ever seen, so he couldn't help but stand there for a moment and didn't move forward.
Chen Siyu, who was standing aside, saw everything.
Seeing the reactions of Xu's parents, she should have felt more or less sad. However, she didn't know whether it was because she had experienced too many deaths in the dungeon, or because of the story she had heard from Shi Zimiao before, knowing that Xu's parents were the ones who covered up Xu Lin's crimes, so it was difficult for her to feel any sympathy for these two people.
She thought of something and glanced at Shi Zimiao.
She didn't know what method they used, so that when Xu's father and mother and the private detective came in, they acted as if they didn't see her. Chen Siyu was worried that Shi Zimiao would directly attack Xu's father and mother. After all, these two people were Shi Zimiao's enemies. It's just that their mission was not yet completed, and they had to stop Shi Zimiao.
What made Chen Siyu feel relieved but also confused was that Shi Zimiao actually did not take any action.
Shi Zimiao also saw the reactions of Xu's father and mother, and a smile seemed to appear on his swollen face.
Chen Siyu looked at it several times before she was finally sure that she was not seeing things. Shi Zimiao was really laughing.
Only then did she finally realize why Shi Zimiao did not take action. Obviously, rather than letting Xu Lin's father and mother die together with Xu Lin, it was more to her liking to watch Xu Lin's parents suffer.
As if he was very satisfied with everything in front of him, Shi Zimiao's figure gradually disappeared.
Listening to the crying sound that kept echoing in her ears, Chen Siyu finally thought of another question and subconsciously looked at the other players: "Have we completed our mission?"
Now Xu Lin should be reunited with his parents, so why is there no reminder sound for the task?
Is it because Xu Lin only has half a body, so it doesn’t count as a reunion?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Chen Siyu couldn't help but want to denounce the hell of the game.
Just as this thought came into her mind, a cold mechanical voice rang in her ears: [Congratulations to the players for completing the mission.]
Chen Siyu:!!!
Well, she took it back. It looked like she was the one who wanted to go to hell.
Qiao Yuan also heard the prompt sound of the incoming mission.
As the system indicated that the copy was about to be transmitted, the crying of Xu's father and mother disappeared, and everything around them seemed to be frozen in this moment.
Qiao Yuan was waiting to be called out of the copy when he heard footsteps nearby.
She turned around and found that it was Fei who came over. From his expression, it seemed that he wanted to say something.
As if he had sensed Qiao Yuan's doubts, or perhaps felt that time was running out, Fei did not hesitate this time and quickly said, "Thank you... for helping me in the dungeon."
She also thought of what Qiao Yuan had said before, that there was no need to address her as "you".
Qiao Yuan:?
She thought about it in her mind, but still couldn't remember when she had helped Fei.
But before Qiao Yuan could ask any questions, Fei immediately spoke up, blushing and saying, "After you leave the dungeon, are you willing to come to my country?"
“I…I…”
Before she could finish her words, she felt a black screen in front of her eyes.
Fei was teleported away.
Seeing Fei being teleported away before she could finish her words, Qiao Yuan sighed inwardly. After leaving the dungeon, the chances of her meeting Fei were slim, and it seemed that she had no chance of knowing what Fei wanted to say.
After Fei was the first to be teleported away, Chen Siyu was also teleported away.
Qiao Yuan urged the system to be faster in her heart so that she could get the third place and leave.
However, Qiao Yuan's urging was obviously of no use, as the third person to be teleported away was Sheng Guiye.
Qiao Yuan and Sheng Guiye both looked reluctant, the latter because he was reluctant to give up the time he spent with Qiao Yuan, while Qiao Yuan was reluctant because he didn't get the chance.
Speaking of which, Yugi was also rather tactless. Now all that was left was her and her eyes...
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Qiao Yuan suddenly heard the sound of something breaking through the air, and then a cold light flashed before his eyes.
She turned her body to the side and dodged subconsciously, but her clothes at the shoulder and neck were still cut.
The hand holding the sharp blade belongs to Yan Shen.
Seeing how sharp the dagger was, Qiao Yuan had no doubt that if he had been a second late, the knife would have landed on her neck. The sharp blade was enough to cut the skin of her neck and bleed bright red.
Although Qiao Yuan knew that Yan Shen had never given up on killing her, she never expected that he would take action at this time.
Qiao Yuan: "Why can he attack me in this copy..."
She still remembered that the system had said before that this was not a special copy and players could not kill each other, but they had not yet left the copy.
System: [The mission has been completed. You are now at the border between the dungeon and reality, so you are not completely in the dungeon.]
Qiao Yuan: “…”
How come the division is suddenly so clear? !
However, the system's words also made Qiao Yuan realize that there was such a loophole. Now that he thought about it, other players did not discover it because they either took it for granted that they were still in the dungeon and therefore could not take action; or they were immersed in the joy of surviving the calamity and leaving the dungeon alive.
And the reason why Yan Shen attacked her just now was obviously because he knew this loophole.
Her repeated actions before had obviously made the other party no longer conceal his murderous intentions.
Since Yan Shen had already used his knife, there was no need for Qiao Yuan to maintain the peace anymore.
Fortunately, she was not completely unprepared.
Qiao Yuan reached for the dagger in his pocket and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
"Why do you want to kill me?"
When Yan Shen saw that his first attack missed, he quickly attacked again. He ignored Qiao Yuan's questions and was obviously not prepared to answer.
After realizing that Yan Shen had no intention of answering, Qiao Yuan's eyes turned cold and he focused on dealing with Yan Shen.
Neither of them gave in. The daggers collided several times , making clanging sounds, and there were even several times when the blades were about to cut through each other's bodies.
For a moment, neither Qiao Yuan nor Yan Shen had time to care about the passage of time.
When Qiao Yuan watched Yan Shen’s live broadcast before, he felt that he was like a killing machine when he took action. This time, when he faced the opponent head-on, the feeling was even more obvious.
Qiao Yuan could only look for the opponent's flaws from other places: "Are you the Black Rose?"
She remembered that Yan Shen had reacted strongly to this before.
It turns out that this is also true now.
After hearing what Qiao Yuan said, Yan Shen paused, and his tone seemed to be a little angry and embarrassed: "What are you talking about?"
Qiao Yuan realized that this incident had a great impact on Yan Shen, so he spoke again: "You really are, right?"
"You gave me flowers, which means you like me, so why did you hit me?"
This time, Qiao Yuan and the system both understood what embodied anger was.
Even if there is no expression on the other person's face, it makes people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts for no reason.
At this moment, even the system wanted to speak up, telling Qiao Yuan to stop provoking the other party. After all, Yan Shen's actions were becoming more and more fierce.
Qiao Yuan was retreating step by step, obviously at a disadvantage.
Just when Yan Shen's next knife was about to pierce Qiao Yuan's shoulder, Qiao Yuan suddenly switched the dagger from his right hand to his left hand, and the next second he stabbed directly at Yan Shen. It seemed that he was determined to hurt Yan Shen even at the risk of getting hurt himself.
However, Yan Shen put away the dagger and turned to resist.
He realized that Qiao Yuan's knife was aimed at his face.
Looking at Yan Shen's actions, Qiao Yuan knew that he had made the right bet.
It seems that even in this situation, the other party does not want to show his true face.
Yan Shen's active retreat brought more flaws. Qiao Yuan changed his route and stabbed towards Yan Shen's heart, wanting to keep him completely in this copy.
But at the critical moment, Yan Shen dodged sideways. At this time, he also realized that Qiao Yuan's previous step-by-step retreat was just a deliberate show of weakness, and he had already exposed many flaws.
Realizing that he had been tricked by Qiao Yuan again, he looked at Qiao Yuan with hatred in his eyes.
Although the attack missed, Qiao Yuan was not disappointed. He quickly focused his attention and swung his hand again.
Although Yan Shen dodged it again this time, his face was still stabbed .
The dagger cut his cheek, but no blood flowed out. Instead, the skin underneath was exposed.
It is indeed □□.
Qiao Yuan thought.
But the quality is good, and the sound when scratched is like real skin.
But now, because of her previous attack, its legs were loose and were showing signs of falling.
Yan Shen also realized this and subconsciously raised his hand to cover his mouth, but he was still a step too late.
Qiao Yuan reached out and grabbed □□, then threw it directly to the ground behind him.
Yan Shen's reaction was very intense. After realizing that the thing had fallen, he turned around quickly and tried to cover his face, but Qiao Yuan still saw his face clearly.
Her pupils trembled, and then turned into deep doubt: "You..."
"Who is it?"
