Chapter 498 Knock on the door
Xiao Jin sat at the wooden table on the first floor of the guesthouse, listening to the screams coming from the door not far away.
That was the sound of players chasing the little girl with cleft lip.
There was the dull sound of the blade piercing into flesh, the crisp sound of bones breaking, and the uncontrollable groans of pain.
Sui Ying's face turned pale, her fingers clenched the teacup tightly, her knuckles turned blue.
Yun Ye leaned against the wall, his weapon resting on his knees, his eyes grim. Shao Siyuan lowered his eyes, his expression dark and unclear under his hair.
As for Sui Feng, this guy was gritting his teeth.
"Did they really do it?" Sui Ying whispered.
Xiao Jin pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, his eyes were deep, as if all his emotions were hidden in those dark eyes.
Feng Hao had a cold expression on his face, a sarcastic smile on his lips, and he condemned those players mercilessly: "As long as the mission is completed, it's fine. I've seen a lot of people do whatever it takes to achieve their goals."
His low voice echoed in the slightly empty hall of the guesthouse, casting a gloomy shadow over everyone's heart.
Several people looked at each other with complicated expressions. They knew that what Feng Hao said was true, but the moral scale in their hearts was still difficult to balance.
However, they have no position to stop those players' behavior, so they can only turn a blind eye!
Seeing this, Shao Siyuan took a deep breath and tried to break the depressing atmosphere.
"Since we have time, let's talk about this dungeon, shall we?" He began to change the subject: "Today is already the third day, and I'm still completely confused about the situation of this dungeon."
Hearing this, everyone nodded and turned their thoughts back to the task at hand.
"Yes, apart from the sacrifices, they are all things without beginning or end, and it is impossible to tell what they are." Sui Feng echoed.
Sui Ying rubbed her temples, her face full of fatigue.
She complained: "To be honest, besides the terrible task, the one that suffered the most is my stomach."
"I can't eat the food sent by the villagers, so I can only eat the boxed lunch in my backpack. It tastes the same every day, and I feel like my taste buds are going on strike."
As she spoke, she sighed exaggeratedly.
The others shut up silently after hearing this because they felt the same way.
"Oh, that's right!" Sui Feng rubbed his belly: "I can eat, but there is not much left in my backpack. I don't know if I can last until the seventh day."
Every time a mission is completed, players usually store some lunch boxes from the system mall in the storage space in order to deal with emergencies.
You won’t starve to death, but there are only so many ways to eat, and the main purpose is to fill your stomach but not satisfy your cravings.
Seeing that Lian Yunye's mood had become depressed, Xiao Jin couldn't help but smile.
As expected, few people can completely eliminate their appetite, especially the Chinese.
Xiao Jin didn't say anything, but took out a pot of hot braised pork trotters from the space, and the aroma spread instantly.
Everyone's eyes widened at the sudden appearance of delicious food.
Feng Hao stretched out his finger and said, "This~this~" in a very excited tone.
"Eat." Xiao Jin said calmly. Then he waved his hand and more than ten dishes appeared on the table.
"Five-spiced beef, fried crab with typhoon shelter, corn with pine nuts, fried chicken?" Sui Feng rubbed his hands: "They are all my favorites."
"Hey, buddy, why do you have the same taste as a little girl?" Feng Hao winked at the side.
"What's wrong with the little girl?" Sui Feng snorted, "If you have the guts, don't eat it!"
Shao Siyuan's eyes were also filled with shock, not knowing that Yun Ye over there was already stunned. His fiery gaze fell on the dishes on the table, so focused.
At the same time, the live broadcast room's barrage instantly exploded, but just now they were discussing the dungeon, but now it has turned into food:
[The host is quite smart. If he kills this guy, the fight will never end.]
[But if I were a player, I would probably do it, after all, the soul-guiding lamp is really useful. ]
[That’s right, that’s right. But to be honest, the food on the table looks delicious. Slurp! I’m hungry!]
【Order takeout, it’s fun to watch and eat at the same time! 】
[I want to eat the same one as the anchor...]
After the joy, Sui Ying and Sui Feng looked at each other.
The two of them recalled the days when they followed Xiao Jin in the Deserted Island Battle Royale and had no worries about food and shelter. At that time, other players ate dry food, drank rainwater, and robbed supplies, but Xiao Jin always had hot meals and hot dishes in his hands.
Oh, yes, there are also mobile cabins that people can live in...
"Brother, you are my real brother." Sui Feng said with emotion, his chopsticks almost leaving afterimages.
The rest of the people are not much behind.
Xiao Jin didn't respond, but just ate quietly.
This meal brought the five people closer together.
By nightfall, the players, who had eaten and drunk their fill, were ready to return to their rooms to rest, but Wang Zixuan and several other players had not returned yet.
He is probably still processing the "materials" at the village chief's house.
Half past one in the morning.
Xiao Jin, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes. She heard footsteps coming from downstairs.
"Back?" She frowned and thought subconsciously.
But the next second, Xiao Jin froze.
Can you hear footsteps???
No, how could she hear it!
The walls of the guesthouse are extremely soundproof. No matter what happened outside, the room was so quiet as if it was isolated in another world.
But now, she could clearly hear the footsteps in the corridor!
"Something's wrong." Xiao Jin sat up quietly and grasped the long knife beside the pillow.
She threw back the covers, got out of bed, and listened carefully.
The footsteps outside were very light, like someone walking on tiptoe, but each step was very steady, slow, and even, like...
Like looking for something.
Xiao Jin held his breath, approached the door, and slowly put his ear to the door panel.
As she moved, Xiao Jin could hear footsteps wandering in the corridor, walking and stopping, and seeming to stop for a moment in front of every door.
Then--
'Boom dong dong'
There was a knock on the door in the quiet corridor.
Xiao Jin's pupils suddenly contracted. She used the sound to determine the location and realized that the sound should have stopped in front of Feng Hao's door.
No one in the room responded, which was normal. No one would open the door unless they were a fool.
The knocker knocked a few more times, but there was still no sound. After a moment, the footsteps continued to move.
'Knock, knock, knock' - the next door.
"Knock, knock, knock" - the next door.
Finally, the footsteps stopped in front of Xiao Jin's door.
'Boom boom boom'!!!
The person outside the door...or rather, the "thing" outside the door, was waiting for her response.
Xiao Jin's breathing almost stopped.
