291. Familiar place

Ye Xiao opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was a white ceiling with moldy yellow, and dead moth corpses and dust particles could be seen in the lampshade of the square ceiling lamp.

Familiar......

The combination of this ceiling lamp and ceiling is very familiar.

Ye Xiao noticed that he was lying on a single bed, the quilt on the bed exuded a strange smell, and the mattress was a little damp to the touch, obviously he hadn't changed and washed it for a long time.

He sat up from the bed and had a full view of the room he was in.

The room of about 20 square meters also includes a small independent bathroom, the room is dimly lit, the single bed is placed against the wall, and there is a window on the opposite side of the bed.

There is a writing desk by the window, on which are placed two succulent potted plants, and a high-tech helmet with white and gold hues, the platinum helmet of "Dead by Night", which should be the cleanest and neatest thing in a large room.

The trash can next to the desk was littered with takeout boxes and smelled rancid, and a little past the bin was a wooden door that led to the outside of the house, with a pair of dirty sneakers stuffed with stinky socks on the edge of the door.

It's not ...... here My family!

Of course, Ye Xiao was not referring to his rental house in Mingcheng Garden, the room with a monthly rent of up to 9,000 was three bedrooms and two living rooms, with good lighting and fine decoration.

And now, this simple and dirty cramped single room is estimated to be a few hundred yuan a month, and the rent is sky-high.

This is the former residence of Ye Xiao!

……

"Strange? Why am I here? ”

Ye Xiao scratched his head, looking at the familiar living environment in front of him, in addition to the intimacy, his heart was more surprised and confused.

"Could it be...... Everything about the post-crossing is fake? Was that actually a dream I had? ”

And the most in the movie is this kind of bridge, the protagonist travels to a certain world of all kinds of bullshit and all kinds of pretenses, after saving the world or losing to the opponent and hanging up, he finds that he actually just has a long and realistic dream.

This plot fits the state of my current encounter, which seems to be very appropriate.

Ye Xiao can clearly recall everything that happened after the crossing, including the killer night stalker he played, in the scene of 'Biochemical Wasteland', he was finally blown up by the 'scorching' effect attached to the flame sword of the female survivor 'Blue Sea Thousand Cranes', sending away a blood in the game.

"Forget it, let's just think it's a dream."

Ye Xiao sighed lightly, shook his head slightly, his expression was slightly gloomy, he undoubtedly wanted to live in the world after the crossing, above those 'novice' players, and enjoy a better quality of life, rather than nesting in this lifeless small room and continuing to be his worthless eight-stage 'Emperor Slayer'......

That's right, the eight-stage 'Slaughter Emperor'!

Before the crossing, he was a player in the game "Dead by Night", and the killer character reached the eighth stage in the bloody list, and he was only one step away from the ninth level of the highest 'Emperor Slayer'.

As soon as he thought of this, Ye Xiao immediately picked up the platinum helmet on the table, and after turning on the switch, the indicator light on the helmet immediately lit up.

However, when he put the helmet on, he found that he could not enter the game, and only a system prompt of 'unidentified ......' appeared in front of him.

"What's going on? Could it be that the helmet is malfunctioning? ”

Ye Xiao turned over the platinum helmet and checked it, and noticed that the fault indicator on the back of the helmet was off, and the helmet had a self-test function.

"Nothing wrong? Could it be that something is wrong with the system that detects identity? ”

Ye Xiao only knows how to play games, and he doesn't know anything about repairing the malfunction of this type of helmet.

At this time, there was a 'gurgling' sound in his stomach.

Hungry.

The otaku's eyes roamed the room and found nothing to satisfy his hunger.

"Okay, let's go down and eat something."

Taking the wallet from the desk drawer, Ye Xiao put on the stinky socks and dirty sneakers that he took off at the door, opened the door and came outside.

……

The place he rented was a building near the street in an old neighborhood, and after going down the dark staircase with a broken porch light to the ground floor, he walked right along the potholed cement road in the neighborhood to the back door of the neighborhood leading to the side street.

This neighborhood is as old as ever - mostly elderly residents!

Don't look at the gloomy and gloomy sky, but it's only half past eight in the morning, and in the public places of the community that lack greenery, some gray-haired old people are either walking, or standing on the side of the road chattering, or sitting in the gazebo reading the newspaper...... Strangely, everyone doesn't seem to be too worried about the upcoming rainstorm.

Ye Xiao browsed these familiar pictures all the way, and there were not too many emotional fluctuations in his heart, although he was a little reluctant to give up on the life after the crossing, he was not a person who was easy to indulge in the past, if he lost it, he would lose it, and regret was a useless and superfluous emotion.

When passing through the iron gate at the back door of the community, Ye Xiao saw his landlord Uncle Zhang walking in from the outside with his head down.

"Uncle Zhang, it's early."

When the two met, Ye Xiao stopped politely and greeted the landlord with a smile.

But the other party didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't look at Ye Xiao, so he lowered his head and passed directly past Ye Xiao, as if Ye Xiao was air.

"Uh......"

Ye Xiao maintained a beckoning motion, and finally could only touch the back of his head in embarrassment, when Uncle Zhang passed by, he instinctively felt that this landlord who looked up and didn't look down every day was a little strange......

Did Uncle Zhang encounter something bad today?

Ye Xiao didn't take this little thing to heart, looking at the way the other party walked with his head down, it really looked like he was not in the mood to deal with people after encountering some troubles.

Outside, the side streets, which are only a little wider than a single lane, are lined with shops, mostly small restaurants, and stalls selling fruits, vegetables, and meats.

Everyone is doing their thing with their heads down......

When Ye Xiao walked to the corner of the T-junction, he stopped.

This is where he was hit by a car, when he came out of dinner from the 'Daohuaxiang Sauerkraut Fish Restaurant' across the street, with his mobile phone in his hand, he was reading an infinite stream of the game's namesake "Night Dead" at a certain station, and then the truck that couldn't drive into this small street at all roared towards him and hit him from the side......

It must have been a dream.

Ye Xiao affirmed his guess in his heart, because he couldn't recall any feelings when he was hit by a car at all, there was no such impact feeling, and there was no pain, some were just 'hit by a car', which seemed to be an empty shell.

It doesn't matter......

Ye Xiao pursed his lips, dispelled the thoughts in his mind, and turned around to buy a breakfast at the steamed bun shop next to the sauerkraut fish restaurant.

But when he raised his head again and looked at the scene in the small street, he was shocked to find that all the people in the small street were still.

The walking stopped his steps, the cyclists also stopped advancing, one foot propped up on the ground, and the people on the street and in the shops all turned their heads in unison, as if they found that there was a strange similarity among them, staring at Ye Xiao who was standing at the T-junction with a dull and empty look.

This...... What is this doing?

Why are people staring at me with strange expressions?

Rao is Ye Xiao, who did not change his face in the face of many ghosts and monsters in "Killing Machine", was suddenly stared at by hundreds of people with strange eyes, and he couldn't help but feel furious in his heart.

At some point, the noise on the small street had completely disappeared, and the scene was quiet and a pin dropped could be clearly heard.

Those neighbors, vendors and passers-by all began to open their feet, and walked towards Ye Xiao slowly but firmly, and their originally dull and empty eyes were glowing with green light.

What the hell is going on?

Don't...... I'm actually still in the game world?

Ye Xiao hurriedly tried to call out his attribute interface, but he didn't react, his attention was focused on the lower right corner of his sight, and he didn't show the character's skill bar and current state.

This is not the world of games at all!

……

Pedestrians continued to approach Ye Xiao, gradually forming a semi-encirclement, surrounding Ye Xiao in the middle.

Ye Xiao was forced to keep retreating, and after retreating for a short distance, his back was already against the wall, and he had no way to retreat.

Seeing that the nearest pedestrian had already walked less than five meters away from him, Ye Xiao didn't want to sit still, and tried to break out from the side that seemed to be less crowded.

After choosing a direction, he made up his mind, took a deep breath, let out a 'ah' cry from his mouth, and ran through a few steps, summoning all his strength to break through to that position.

But when he bumped into the group of numb passers-by, the gang suddenly seemed to go crazy, and grabbed his body with their hands, with surprisingly great force, and countless hands used force together, and soon pushed him to the ground.

Immediately after, Ye Xiao felt that he was trampled on by countless feet, grabbed and pulled by countless hands, as more and more people pressed on him, he was restrained and unable to breathe, and he was powerless to struggle and resist, so he could only let this group of crazy pedestrians wreak havoc on him.

When he was finally buried by the sea of people, he passed out unconscious......
