Chapter 11: Footsteps
The shopkeeper's face turned pale and he retreated in fright.
These dart masters are all ruthless people, with hard fists, they will fight and kill if they don't agree with each other, and the officials dare not provoke them.
In desperation, the shopkeeper had no choice but to agree.
Su Changan saw all this in his eyes and smiled playfully.
Moments later, backyard.
The proprietress vacated the rooms of the shopkeeper and Erhu and replaced them with new beds and bedding.
Su Changan moved in, carefully checked the room, confirmed that there was no problem, and closed the door.
Lie in bed.
The mind is connected to the game console.
"Host, I'm going to play a game. β
Instantly, the game console burst into light, forming a light blue light curtain.
γWelcome to the Transcendent Gameγ
γMap: Shengping Innγ
[Please select the game character of the host]
The light curtain reveals three images of the characters and their biographies.

Su Changan looked at the three game characters one by one, groaned, and glanced at the personal panel.

Su Changan couldn't help asking: "Host, now that I'm also an extraordinary, can I use myself as a game character?"
Host: "Of course, but please remember that the Transcendent Game is a game generated from the Transcendent events in reality, and uses an immersive mode with 100% realism, and when the host is playing in the game, it is difficult to distinguish whether they are in reality or in the game, so it is not recommended that the host use the individual as a game character." β
Su Changan knew it in his heart, he actually had a deep understanding of this, and when he controlled a game character that was not me, it could indeed allow him to maintain a certain self-awareness and not be overly immersed in it and get lost.
Thinking of this, Su Changan looked at the three game characters again, the dart master, the runaway daughter, and the thief, all of whom were late-stage martial artists, each with their own unique skills.
"Now the Shengping Inn is almost taken over by the dart master of the Xinglong Dart Bureau, and the identity of the dart master is conducive to me mixing into the inn. β
Su Changan had a plan in his heart, so he chose the first character of the game, the dart master Gongsun Hu.
In an instant, the game console shone brightly, and the dazzling light instantly engulfed Su Changan.
The next moment!
When the light faded, a wonderful voice sounded in Su Changan's mind.
"Gongsun Hu, you are the henchman of Huo Nantian, the head of the Xinglong Dart Bureau, after receiving Huo Nantian's letter of help, he hurried to meet the escort team, but you don't know that an extraordinary event has occurred in the inn where the dart master team stays, and when the strange and unpredictable danger hits, your amazing strength will wield the most brilliant sword light......"
With the introduction of the host, Su Changan opened his eyes.
What catches your eye is ......
The tall Gongsun Hu rode on a horse and came to the gate of the Shengping Inn.
"This Gongsun Tiger is really strong. β
Su Changan looked at this body, the muscles were exceptionally strong, and his strength was not ordinary. I couldn't help but let out a few exclamations.
Gongsun Hu's knife was very heavy, full of eighty-six catties, and it was powerful and heavy.
Very few people will use a knife that is so heavy, and being too bulky will affect your speed unless you have a lot of power.
Gongsun Hu's cultivation of the "Giant Spirit Divine Skill" is a body forging technique, which can make the cultivator infinitely powerful and fierce.
Su Changan clenched his fist and tried it, and exclaimed: "What a great strength!" This punch will open the stele and crack the stone, and it will either be dead or disabled. β
Gongsun Hu's knife technique is average, and he relies on this amazing strength to eat.
Su Changan rode on his horse and looked around, only to see a faint fog shrouding the Shengping Inn, and everything in the fog looked strangely pale, looking like the black and white picture in an old-fashioned TV.
The strange thing is that the streets outside the inn do not have this fog.
Seeing this, Su Changan's brows furrowed.
Time in the game is synchronized with reality, and in reality, he does not see this fog.
"The fog is filled, could it be that this is a characteristic of an evil existence, imperceptible to the naked eye?"
Su Changan rode into the inn, and a dart master with a black mole on his head saw him, greeted him with a happy face, and greeted: "Brother Gongsun, you have finally arrived." β
"Hmm. Su Changan dismounted.
The shopkeeper ran over and led the horses to the stable.
The black mole dart master smiled: "Brother Gongsun, with you coming to support us, this trip will be safer." β
Su Changan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Something happened on the road?"
The black mole dart master's face sank, and he said: "I don't know which grandson leaked the news, so that everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the dart we are betting on is 'Bat Knife', a silver-level weapon, which has caused many people's eyes." Along the way, we encountered four robberies one after another, causing us to lose more than 20 brothers. β
"Bat Knife?"
Su Changan suddenly felt that she was losing, and she should choose the role of Murong Yanran, her weapon was the Bat Knife.
Enter the lobby.
The black mole dart master shouted: "Chief dartman, Brother Gongsun has come to pick us up." β
All the dart masters stood up to greet each other.
Su Changan walked towards Huo Nantian, the head of the dart, and arched his hand: "The subordinates are late, please forgive the head of the dart." β
Huo Nantian waved his hand and smiled: "You have come all the way, you have worked hard, come and have a few drinks together." β
"Brother Gongsun, come and sit on my side. The girl dressed in men's clothes next to Huo Nantian was heroic and eye-catching.
She is Huo Nantian's daughter, Huo Yingying.
Su Changan sat down and drank with everyone.
After the meal, Huo Nantian arranged for people to be on duty at night, and the rest of the dart masters entered the guest room and rested early.
Su Changan lived in the Tianzi room, and there were three Tianzi rooms, all on the second floor, next to each other.
Huo Nantian occupies the rightmost Tianzi room.
Su Changan was in the middle, and the room next to him was where the murder happened a year ago.
The person who lived in it was named Jing San, who was the one who had threatened the shopkeeper before, and this person had a hateful face, but he was also a genuine late-stage martial artist, who was reckless and very arrogant and vicious.
Unconsciously, it was the dead of night.
Except for a few lanterns in the corridor that were still on, attracting mosquitoes and moths to buzz around, a few horses in the horse pen hummed from time to time, and there was silence inside and outside the Shengping Inn.
The fog is getting thicker.
Su Changan didn't close his eyes, and put the heavy knife beside him.
In the middle of the night, suddenly!
Squeak, squeak, squeak......
Footsteps could be heard in the hallway outside, as if someone was walking back and forth on the boardwalk.
Su Changan immediately pushed the door out.
The moment the door was opened, the footsteps stopped abruptly.
There were lanterns hanging in the hallway, almost brightly lit.
I saw that there were two dart masters guarding downstairs, and two other dart masters were guarding in front of Huo Nantian's door.
Other than that, there was no one else.
Su Changan carried a knife and scanned the corridor.
When the night master saw him go out, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Gongsun, you want to ...... Solution?"
Another dart master pointed downstairs, "The hut is over there." β
Su Changan looked at them: "Just now, did you hear footsteps?"
The two looked at each other suspiciously, and both shook their heads.
Su Changan groaned slightly, turned back to the room, and closed the door.
He had just closed the door.
Squeak, squeak, squeak......
The sound of footsteps like sore teeth sounded again.
Su Changan immediately opened the door, and the footsteps stopped almost at the same time.
This time, Su Changan simply didn't go back to the room, just stood in the corridor and guarded, after a while!
Squeak, squeak, squeak......
The sound of footsteps came from the staircase, and someone walked in the stairwell.
Su Changan rushed over quickly, staring at it, and in the dark corridor, a black shadow flashed away.
The footsteps are still there!
Squeak, squeak, squeak......
Su Chang'an's heart sank, and he heard that the footsteps were actually coming from behind him, getting closer and closer.
"Who?" Su Changan turned around suddenly, there was no one behind him, and the two dart masters on duty at night were startled.
The footsteps disappeared again.
"Brother Gongsun, what's wrong with you?" the two dart masters came over.
"You guys, did you really hear the footsteps?" asked Su Changan, staring into their eyes.
"There is no sound of footsteps. The two shook their heads and looked at each other.
Su Changan's brows twisted into a pimple.
"Hey, I think I heard crying. One of the dart masters said suddenly.
"I heard it too! It seems to be ...... It's coming from over there. The other dart master also seemed to hear something, and turned to the three Tianzi rooms.
Su Changan listened attentively, but heard nothing.
"Let's go, go over and have a look. Su Changan went straight to the room on the far left and kicked it open.
Suddenly, the strong smell of blood came to my face.
The room was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
Su Changan didn't go in, but took off a lantern and threw it into the room.
The light of fire dispelled the darkness.
There was a person lying on the ground, not who Jing San was.
His eyes were bloodshot, his eyeballs were gone, a bloody hole had been broken in his chest, and his heart was gone!
"Ah, dead!"
"The third brother of Jing is dead!"
The two dart masters were horrified and screamed.
Su Changan stepped into the door, looked at Jing San's corpse, and his face gradually became solemn.
"Jing San's way of dying is exactly the same as the couple who were killed a year ago, they were all tragically gouged out and their hearts gouged out. β
Su Changan knew that Jing San must have been killed in reality, a late-stage martial artist at the advanced level, who died quietly.
