Chapter 77 Blue Ice Hotel (XI)
Although Xiang Liangyu felt that Gu Ye's sudden approach to her had impure motives, she never thought that he was here to kill her until she noticed a detail that she had overlooked.
After hearing the sound of smoke in the coffin, she suddenly had an epiphany.
The black hole that appeared in the meat bed was the medium leading to the non-game area. Bone also knew that he could not kill himself, so he wanted to use the sweeper's hand to kill himself.
That's why in Iceberg Island, Gu was so excited to take her out to see the snow. Only when they left the hotel would the side quest be activated, and she would be inadvertently invited to go out and worship the sacred mountain.
During this period, Gu Ye blocked his ears so that he could not hear Quan Shengyan's reminder, and thus entered the non-game area without any vigilance and was targeted by the sweepers.
Even the elevator accident might have been caused by human error, but even if it wasn't, it was still related to him.
Why on earth would he want to kill himself?
Thinking of this, Xiang Liangyu, who was puzzled, rushed forward and wanted to grab his bones and beat him up.
Gu Ye didn't know what was wrong with Xiang Liangyu. She came up to hit him. He dodged and shouted, "I was just joking. Why did you take it seriously? We are friends for life and death!"
Xiang Liangyu grabbed Guye by the collar and threw him into the pit. He stood outside the pit and said condescendingly, "Friendship of life and death? You destroyed the elevator, didn't you? This is not friendship of life and death, this is attempted murder."
After saying that, she turned and walked to the coffin next to her, hooked her hand on the groove on the edge of the coffin, and flipped it up with force. The coffin lid flew to the ground, Quan Shengyan stood up and flipped out of the coffin.
The wounds on the stomach and shoulders had not healed yet. Quan Shengyan consciously covered Xiang Liangyu's wounds with his hands. A faint white light flashed, and the wounds healed.
"Xiang Liangyu, you can doubt my character, but you can't question my skills!" Gu Ye said angrily, "If I destroyed the elevator, you would have fallen into the lava with the elevator a long time ago. How could you stand in mid-air!"
Quan Shengyan withdrew his hand, paused after hearing the words, glanced at Gu Ye, and sneered.
Xiang Liangyu turned around, and two words came out of his lips that had recovered their vitality: "Idiot."
Gu Ye realized it later and added, "I guessed."
It was daytime now, and the dense branches and leaves overhead had a few white cracks, but the light still couldn't penetrate. In the dark forest, only the seven lanterns standing in front of the pit were emitting a few circles of light, and the lights of some players' head-mounted lights were flickering.
The hotel disappeared.
Xiang Liangyu looked up and asked the store manager: "Hey, where is your hotel?"
The store manager had been keeping his head down to reduce his presence, but when Xiang Liangyu suddenly called him out, he was so scared that he fell to the ground and cried, "It has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me."
Quan Shengyan's voice came from behind my ear: "This is already a non-gaming area. The hotel didn't want to anger the cleaners, so they kicked all the players and guests out. They should have hidden themselves now and can't be found."
Xiang Liangyu turned around: "How did you know?"
Quan Shengyan: "To a certain extent, there will be non-game NPCs among the guests. They are usually brought in from this world to make up the number of people. The hotel will not ignore their lives. If even non-game NPCs have to follow the game staff to a certain place, it means that the hotel wants to give up on them."
He sighed and moved his gaze to Bones: "Bones, you will hurt a lot of innocent people this time."
Gu also gritted his teeth, jumped out of the pit, and said to Xiang Liangyu and the others: "I'll say it again, it has nothing to do with me!"
Xiang Liangyu: "Okay, as long as you find the hotel and let us go back, I will admit that all this has nothing to do with you."
Gu Ye pursed his lips, and the three of them stood in silence in the dim light . After a moment, Gu Ye chuckled and raised his face, revealing himself in the dim light.
His face, which should have been clear and gentle, was tainted with a hint of evil. He looked lazy, an expression he had never seen in the time they had been together. Xiang Liangyu frowned.
"How come you are so smart, Xiang Liangyu." Gu Ye grinned and said with admiration, "I think I like you more."
Quan Shengyan raised his voice, his tone warning: "Bone!"
"Why didn't you tell me she was so strong?"
Voices of disappointment rang out all around, and a black hole suddenly appeared behind Guye. Song Lan crawled out of the hole and stood beside Guye, holding a green gun in her hand. She was still wearing a baseball cap, and only her bright red lips and a little bit of the tip of her chin could be seen.
Isandra: "Stop talking nonsense to her."
She pulled out a few oddly shaped knives from her pocket and threw them to Gu Ye. Each blade had a finger guard, five in total.
After Gu Ye put his five fingers into the finger gloves, a sharp long claw appeared. Song Lan picked up the gun and pointed it at Xiang Liangyu: "I have an idea. Dig out her heart. If she is still alive, she is awesome."
Bones: "You're a bit hasty."
Xiang Liangyu dragged Quan Shengyan and turned around to disappear into the dark forest. Song Lan replaced the scope with a night vision scope, but saw that Xiang Liangyu's movements were a little strange: "What is she doing?"
[Player Wang Guang's health has returned to zero, and he has died. ]
[Player Linker's health has returned to zero, and he is dead. ]
【……】
[NPC Xiang Liangyu obtained the heart gem X88. ]
The roots in the trunk area are dense and thick, and creatures that like the black tide grow rapidly. The plants here are black and dark green, and in this black and lightless forest, a few touches of bright red splashed with darkness.
Countless players pounced on Xiang Liangyu, one after another as if they were throwing their lives away.
Song Lan found it strange: "She was already struggling to save herself, yet she still wanted to complete the mission. She is really dedicated."
Gu also raised an eyebrow. She was not dedicated to killing players. On the contrary, she was not dedicated at all. Once a player died in the non-game area, no matter how many immortal gold medals they had, they would die completely when their heart stopped beating and would never be resurrected. As a result, the non-game area was a restricted area that all players were unwilling to set foot in.
All the players who died at Xiang Liangyu's hands took the initiative to find Xiang Liangyu and voluntarily died at her hands. These players more or less had the immortal gold medal to save their lives. After all, no one can tell the difference between being able to live after death and being completely dead.
Song Lan shrugged, pulled the trigger, and with a "bang", the bullet wrapped in red light shot into the darkness: "Hit. Okay, it's your turn."
Gu Ye scratched his head with the sharp tip of the knife and said in distress: "With Quan Shengyan here, it's not easy to kill her."
Song Lan pushed up the brim of his hat, his brown eyes piercing people's hearts like bullets: "Then kill him too. You can choose to kill him first and then kill Xiang Liangyu. Also, don't think I don't know that you are stalling for time, Gu Ye, the main system has been watching you."
Gu subconsciously raised his eyes, and all he saw were countless white gaps. He let out a "hiss" and disappeared into the darkness.
Song Lan was carrying a gun and wearing her cap backwards. Without the brim to block her vision, her face was completely exposed. It was a plain and gentle face.
It has nothing to do with the dark green gun in her hand.
After killing the last player who came to die, Xiang Liangyu was shot in the back of the neck and fell to the ground, his head turning white with a buzzing sound.
Quan Shengyan originally wanted to block the bullet, but unfortunately Songlan's red bullet had a tracking function. The bullet bypassed his body, turned a corner and hit Xiang Liangyu.
He helped Xiang Liangyu up, and when he reached his hand to Xiang Liangyu's neck, he hesitated, but still reached into the wound, took out the bullet with his bare hands, and then quickly covered the back of her neck with his palm.
After a while, the wound healed.
Xiang Liangyu gradually regained consciousness. She put her hands on Quan Shengyan's shoulders and used the force to stand up.
She felt that she was quite easy to die, but also easy to be revived, two extremes.
The owner of Quanshengyan Tower, Xiang Liangyu, held her waist and brought her into his arms: "Gu is also coming after us."
Xiang Liangyu shook his head and asked, "Don't worry about him. How long will it take for the hotel to leave the Black and White Forest?"
Quan Shengyan: "Four hours left."
Xiang Liangyu thought for a moment and said, "There's still time. Let's go back to the hotel first."
Quan Shengyan's eyes touched her fiery red hair and asked, "Do you know where the hotel is?"
Xiang Liangyu shook her head. She didn't know, but she knew that she should have collected all the heart gems.
The method that Quan Shengyan told her originally was that based on the fact that there were players in the hotel, the manager would have to show up after hearing Xiang Liangyu's complaint. But now, most of the employee players were dead or had run away, and the hotel was empty, so he naturally couldn't show up just because of her complaint.
Xiang Liangyu thought about it and suddenly said, "If the cleaner dies, will this place still exist?"
Quan Shengyan: "I don't know."
Xiang Liangyu grinned and said, "Then let's make a bet."
Quan Shengyan could sense Gu Ye's whereabouts, and kept running in the opposite direction with Xiang Liangyu. On the way, the two met many residents who had turned back into human form. After all, it was quite rare for a crocodile to appear out of thin air in such a large forest.
The dark and lightless forest had no boundaries or directions, and the path that Quan Shengyan took was chosen to avoid Gu Ye. Fortunately, the black grass growing under her feet was extremely crisp, and any slight movement would attract her attention.
Xiang Liangyu held Quan Shengyan's hand tightly and said, "Is this world an abandoned world?"
Quan Shengyan's pupils shrank, and then he regained his composure: "What did you say?"
Xiang Liangyu listened to all directions but stared straight ahead. She stopped and said, "Quan Shengyan, the voice of complaint that sounded in the Rain Alley that day was to arrest me, right?"
Quan Shengyan held her hand and pulled her forward: "Xiang Liangyu, don't talk about this now, we need to find a hotel."
Xiang Liangyu couldn't move, and Quan Shengyan couldn't pull her, so he could only stop and look back at her: "We can't find the hotel. Only the cleaner knows where it is. We have to wait for her."
Seeing that Quan Shengyan didn't say anything, Xiang Liangyu approached him and said, "Before he comes, tell me why they want to arrest me?"
"Because of the ritual," Quan Shengyan said with a heavy look in his eyes, "I interrupted your memory-clearing ritual when you were entering the information, and they came to capture you and perform the ritual again."
He spoke hurriedly, as if he was afraid Xiang Liangyu wouldn't believe him, and his tone was a little stiff.
Xiang Liangyu: "Cloud Network, I checked it."
Quan Shengyan's fingers trembled in disbelief: "How do you know Yunduan..."
"Bang--"
Xiang Liangyu groaned and half-knelt on the ground. She was shot in the calf. She quickly removed the bullet and threw it aside, while Quan Shengyan treated her.
Song Lan came over with a cigarette in his mouth and asked, "Do you know you can't get out?"
"Prepare to die! Xiang Liangyu!" With a loud shout, Xiang Liangyu turned her head and looked. Gu Ye's face enlarged in front of her. She saw the silver light from the corner of her eye.
Quan Shengyan stretched out his leg and kicked Gu Ye aside across the waist, then stretched out his hand to tear the finger knife off his hand and threw it aside.
Song Lan was somewhat speechless: "You said it so loudly when you attacked her by surprise. If you hadn't said that, she would have died a long time ago. I really can't count on her."
As she spoke, she threw the gun aside and took out a green mechanical finger knife from her pocket. Like a glove, it merged with the skin the moment she put it on, with only the extremely sharp blades extending from the fingertips.
Song Lan rushed towards Xiang Liangyu and dug into her chest.
Quan Shengyan instantly came to Xiang Liangyu's side, grabbed her arm and jumped with her into the air. When Song Lan missed her target, Quan Shengyan loosened his hand and Xiang Liangyu fell behind Song Lan.
She grabbed Songlan's neck with one hand and punched her lower back with the other hand.
Song Lan took the blow head-on. She could hear the sound of bones breaking and even felt her internal organs shifting. She spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "Guye, damn it! Are you cerebral palsy? If you don't come to help, you'll be in trouble. There are people watching and cheering!"
Gu was also held by Quan Shengyan's neck and buried in the ground with his face facing the ground. He said coldly: "He can't even save himself."
Song Lan was very angry. She endured the pain in her body and struggled to break free from Xiang Liangyu's hands. She leaned away from Xiang Liangyu and pointed at him without saying a word: "Catch her for me!"
In an instant, the earth shook and the black grass under her feet grew rapidly as if it had life. Xiang Liangyu retreated repeatedly. She wanted to jump onto the tree branch, but found that the tree trunk here was very high and there was no branch at all.
In conclusion, there is no way out.
Xiang Liangyu turned around and ran, but the forest was covered with black grass. Every time she took a step down, she was entangled by the black grass. Every time she took a step up, she was entangled by the black grass again. Finally, the black grass grew longer and tougher, and directly wrapped around Xiang Liangyu's calves, tripping her to the ground and making her unable to move.
Song Lan held his waist and walked in front of Xiang Liangyu in a weird posture, laughing at her: "Hahaha! So what if you are strong? This is my world and I am the boss! You can only die."
Xiang Liangyu stretched out her hands to grab the grass on her legs and found that the grass was indeed very tough. She pulled it several times before it was completely torn apart. The first thing Xiang Liangyu did when her legs were free was to pounce on Song Lan, grab her neck, and say, "You will die if I use force. The boss is not that good."
Isandra raised an eyebrow.
Xiang Liangyu said: "Tell me where the hotel is. I haven't completed the main task yet."
Song Lan was shocked: "You are really dedicated. But I hate dedicated people like you the most."
She raised her head and wanted to hit Xiang Liangyu's head, but found that the hand on her neck tightened in an instant. Before Song Lan could react, her body completely softened.
Gu Ye forced himself to raise his head, and after seeing this scene, he became anxious: "You can't kill her! Let me go, I want to save her."
Quan Shengyan loosened his hand, and Gu rushed out in one step, crawling to Song Lan's side. When he touched her, he stopped and yelled at Quan Shengyan: "Quan Shengyan, quickly revive her for me!"
"No resurrection!" Xiang Liangyu said loudly.
Gu Ye frowned and roared, "Do you know that every non-game area in the game world has an independent cleaner! If the cleaner dies, the non-game area will collapse, and the game area will collapse together! You can't die, but I don't want to be buried in this world!"
"Quan Shengyan! If you don't want to die, come and revive her!"
Xiang Liangyu sneered: "I just want this world to collapse."
Just as he finished speaking, there were bursts of strange noises coming from the forest, like cracking, earthquake, and roaring.
The ground cracked and fissures appeared in the trees. In the blink of an eye, the sky became bright and countless broken branches fell from the sky.
Xiang Liangyu ordered: "Go!"
Gu also picked up Songlan and followed Xiang Liangyu.
The first things to collapse in the black and white forest were the trees. For some reason, the trees turned into pieces, and pieces of paper and leaves fell like rain. One had to be careful not to let the sharp thorns penetrate the body, but also to let them block the way.
But Xiang Liangyu stopped where he was and looked around.
Gu Ye was really anxious now and said, "Let's go!"
After the hurricane, the black and white forest seemed to be cut in half in an instant, divided into countless pieces of broken wood. When Xiang Liangyu's vision opened up as the giant trees were separated, he saw the Blue Ice Hotel in the distance.
The two people behind him naturally saw it, and Gu felt his breathing pause, and his eyes looking at Xiang Liangyu were complicated.
She couldn't find the hotel, so she wanted to kill the sweeper and let the forest turn upside down so that she could find the direction of the hotel hidden in the forest.
