Ming Li: ......
━━(￣ー￣*|||━━
Such a scaredy-cat, playing horror games?
Han Chen sprinted to Ming Li's side, cowering behind her and stammering, "Big... Big Boss! Help!"
Ming Li remained expressionless. She glanced at the NPC ghost before her and immediately noticed a rusty key hanging around its neck. "The key is on her."
What the heck?! What kind of setting is this?! So bold?
Han Chen, hearing this, looked at the approaching NPC ghost with a bewildered expression. His gaze fell on its ghastly pale neck, devoid of any trace of blood, and he became even more confused.
Wei Gelin, who had followed, also heard Ming Li's words. His gaze shifted to the NPC ghost's neck and indeed, he saw a key there.
Wei Gelin: ......How is this supposed to work?
Recalling that this was his task, Wei Gelin couldn't help but swallow. Although he had been a ghost before, to be honest, he was still a bit scared.
He turned his head and met Ming Li's emotionless gaze. Wei Gelin fell silent, ultimately not speaking up.
Something flashed through his mind. Wei Gelin stepped forward with a forced courage, raised his hand to pat the NPC ghost's left shoulder, and then quickly withdrew his hand.
Instantly, the NPC ghost seemed to be controlled by something. It slowly turned around and spoke in a stiff, drawn-out voice: "Room seven, necklace..."
Wei Gelin frowned, instantly understanding the NPC ghost's words. He exchanged a glance with Han Chen and then walked towards the room with the number seven on its doorplate.
The two thoroughly searched the room and indeed found a necklace. However, it was in a transparent box, locked by a key, and they couldn't open it no matter what.
Wei Gelin pondered, holding the box. After a moment, his eyes brightened, and he brought the box before the NPC ghost.
The next second, a white light suddenly erupted. A line of text appeared on the light screen before Wei Gelin: "Congratulations, player Gelin, on obtaining a key item and completing one task."
Han Chen raised an eyebrow. "That's it? Isn't that too easy?"
Wei Gelin: ......Before saying that, could you at least think about who was being chased all over by this NPC just now...
Ming Li glanced at the time, frowned, and said, "Let's go."
With that, she turned and continued walking downstairs.
Just one more task, and she could leave this boring game. Thinking this, Ming Li quickened her pace. It was almost mealtime, and she was getting hungry.
The system accidentally detected Ming Li's little thoughts and couldn't help but twitch its lips.
Its all-knowing and heroic host... seemed to have gone bad...
Because they were in a hurry, the three of them rapidly swept through the entire building. Soon, they found a powerless mobile phone in a room on the ninth floor. The phone was also encased in a transparent glass box.
After Han Chen obtained the phone, a line of text also appeared on the light screen above his head: "Congratulations, player Yang Chen, on obtaining a mobile phone item and completing one task."
Ming Li glanced casually at Wei Gelin and asked, "Is that it?"
Wei Gelin nodded. "It should be fine. Thank you, Miss Lin, for your trouble."
"Alright, let's head out then," Ming Li said, about to exit the game. But the next second, a somewhat familiar voice sounded from behind her, with that familiar tone, "Ah! It's you again!"
Hearing this voice, Ming Li's footsteps paused, and her mouth twitched...
ps: Thank you, my dears, for the gifts!!
