Wang Li drove his parents to the hotel -- to see his relatives living in the countryside. www.biquge.info Originally, it stands to reason that Wang Li should have taken his parents back to his hometown, but now that his relatives in the countryside are already living in the hotel, there is no point in returning to his hometown. It's not that people from their hometown come to see them en masse, but that the countryside near Yongping is now uninhabited - or rather, there are no people living in it at all.

Thanks to the relatively timely response of the troops, and the superior natural environment of no animals in the city, some of the second-year teenagers who have not been deeply involved in the world are still a little excited...... But for the countryside around Yongping, which is closer to the source Qinling Mountains and has a large number of domestic animals, this thing is simply as terrifying as a nightmare, and the death toll on the day of the outbreak is as high as dozens - this is still the situation where a group of enthusiastic players rushed to the rescue early.

Therefore, since the beast plague began to spread, all the people living in the village have moved to the city, and if Wang Li was not a manager in the hotel, he really didn't know if his relatives would have slept on the streets......

Fortunately, there were no relatives of Wang Li among the hundreds of casualties, and the atmosphere that was pressing on Wang Li's head was not so heavy now, that he could run out alone to breathe while his parents and relatives were chatting happily inside—as we said, Wang Li had been trying to make himself appear "ordinary", so he didn't want others to think that he was a little strange. If someone dies, even if he doesn't feel anything, he will huddle together with everyone with a sad face.

He lit a cigarette and took a puff - he didn't like to smoke, and he didn't get any relaxation from it, because he wasn't nervous at all. The reason why he smoked at this time was because he felt that "in general", he smoked at this time; Just like when he started smoking in school, that's when he thinks "in general", boys at this age are smoking.

"Hey." Some immature voices sounded behind Wang Li, making him feel a little weird, he was not so easy to please children, before that, no child had ever taken the initiative to talk to him, but in just two days, two people in a row talked to him.

"Are you Wang Li?" From the other party's clear voice, Wang Li felt that the other party seemed to be a little girl.

Although it was a little girl, and she called out her name, Wang Li still didn't want to turn his head, just lay by the window, took another puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke, and watched the smoke ring gradually dissipate before he spoke: "Yes." ”

"Do me a favor." The little girl's tone was a bit stiff - in fact, it was the same before, her tone basically did not change, only because of the difference in content that it made people feel different.

"Nope." Wang Li refused the other party without hesitation.

“…… Why? The little girl's tone was still so stiff, but because of this, Wang Li didn't feel that the little girl was angry because she was rejected like that just now, which made Wang Li feel a little relieved.

"I can't help much, what are you 'anomalous' like you doing with a 'normal person' like me?" Wang Li turned around as he spoke, leaning his back against the window frame and looking at the little girl. Unlike the little boy yesterday, the abnormality of the little girl can be seen from the clothes alone, pure black, with intricate patterns and layers of lace skirts, and the black umbrella with a strange shape, if Wang Li remembers correctly, this seems to be called a gothic loli outfit.

"......" The little girl frowned, her expression very confused.

"Uh......" subconsciously took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, nodded, Wang Li continued, "Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it-it's better to say that the guy understood it yesterday at once, but I was a little surprised." You're a gamer, right? And it seems to be a very advanced player. Why are you looking for a passerby NPC like me, who hasn't even sent a quest, to 'help'? ”

“…… I don't know, but I want your help. The little girl's expression seemed a little stubborn.

"Is it someone else's request? Could it be that the NPC sent the mission? Well, if it's because I'm too embarrassed to show up in person, that kind of help can help. Wang Li muttered a little and said to the little girl, "Then, what help, do you know?" ”

"Please, help save the other, NPC." The little girl's way of speaking was a bit strange, it seemed that she had to break a sentence every four words, but it didn't really matter, Wang Li just noticed it "carelessly".

"Huh?" Wang Li was more concerned about what the little girl said, "You probably found the wrong person, right?" Maybe you were looking for a doctor named Wang Li? Well, do you know how many rooms that Wang Li lives in, I'll help you find it. ”

The little girl hesitated for a moment and took out a piece of paper: "Find this person." ”

A handwritten business card, with his name and mobile phone number written on it, is indeed his own business card - and it is not the boy's one from yesterday, from the slight handwriting difference, Wang Li vaguely remembers that this should be the one he gave out half a year ago.

"Looks like it's an NPC - it's for a strange man, right? It doesn't matter, since it's an NPC who wants to ask for help, there's nothing wrong with the 'anomalous', right? The player is just acting as a 'tool' for communication. Wang Li breathed a sigh of relief, he clearly remembered that the player who helped his family clean up the monsters last time said that the entry time of the first batch of players in this world was December 12, 2020.

"Well, it looks like you're looking for me. Maybe it's because you have a problem understanding the other person's request, or maybe it's a problem with my understanding - it doesn't matter, so what would you do if I agreed to help? Although Wang Li was relieved for the time being, he didn't say yes, and still kept an eye on it - although this kind of word play is basically useless, but in case the other party is an idiot who only appears in novels, although he has malicious intentions, maybe he can live because of it.

"Well, I'll take you there, principal." The little girl didn't pay attention to the room left in his words, as for whether she didn't hear it or didn't care, Wang Li didn't know very well, "What happened after that has nothing to do with me." ”

It does sound like it's just acting as an intermediary - but from another perspective, maybe this last sentence is a bit of a shirk of responsibility? Or is she trying to remind me of something? Or is it really just a matter of stating the facts? Wang Li frowned, his brain spinning rapidly.

"By the way, this business card—" Wang Li said casually.

"The client said, thank you very much for what happened before." The little girl interrupted Wang Li's words, her attitude a little impatient.

“…… Yes. Wang Li roughly recalled this business card, half a year ago, when he was on a business trip in the magic capital, he met a strange guy who was dressed a little strangely and claimed to have amnesia, for various reasons, Wang Li helped him a little, and then gave him this business card, "Well, okay, where is your client?" Is it in Yongping City? ”

“…… Do you agree? The little girl did not respond to Wang Li's question.

"Tsk......" This reaction of the other party made Wang Li feel bad again, as if he nodded or said "yes", there would be unforeseen dangers - for example, his soul was sucked away, and he was a little hesitant for a while.

"If you agree." However, the little girl did not wait for Wang Li to respond, so she continued to say to herself, "Just find a way to make yourself, generated, self-aware - 'an intruder'." ”

“…… What? Wang Li was stunned for a moment, and felt a little difficult to understand the other party's words for a while.

"Do something, hack a website, rob a bank, be an intruder, hurry up." The little girl seemed to be getting more and more impatient.

The corners of Wang Li's mouth twitched: "Hey, hey, what are you talking about?" What's the point of having such an idea? You're not going to take me to your client? It's better to say that you originally wanted me to do something illegal and undisciplined, right? Do you want me to be targeted by the police or what? I don't understand—but you're going around that far—"

"There are too many flaws, I won't use them." The little girl seemed to have finally lost her patience, grabbed the front of the umbrella with her left hand, and gently pulled back with her right hand to hold the handle of the umbrella, revealing a shining blade, "People like you, if you want to do things, it is enough to threaten your life." ”

“…… Hey, isn't that very clear to you? Wang Li smiled and spread out his hands, "So, what do you want me to do?" ”

"I've said it all, produce that, self-awareness." The little girl stared at Wang Li's eyes and paused word by word, "Please help." ”

“…… Okay, well, I don't believe that's going to work. Wang Li smiled and closed his eyes, and continued, "But I don't need to do anything, it's very simple to make myself think of myself as an intruder." It is troublesome to convince yourself that you are an intruder for a long time, but it is not impossible. Which do you want? Don't use this ridiculousness again-"

"The first one will do. By the way, welcome, Mr. Wang Li. ”

It was not the girl's voice that sounded in his ears, but the voice of a strange young man who pretended to be elegant and forced to be low, and seemed to suppress laughter, Wang Li opened his eyes in some surprise, and then he was stunned.

Dressed in a black robe that covered his entire body, his left eye glowed with a turquoise glow so bright that it was impossible to see his face clearly, the strange man stood on a large translucent, starry, jewel-like floor, with his back against the long staircase that reached into the sky, and bowed slightly to himself against a background of faint yellow-pink, nothing else.

"Because there is a group of players below who are very noisy, and above is a young lady's VIP room, so I have to ask you to stay here for a while, I will try my best to meet your request, please don't be polite, just say what you want."

"Uh...... Let me sit down? Wang Li hesitated.

"Of course - I didn't plan to receive guests here before, and I hope I would like to forgive me for my mispreparation in a hurry." The strange man nodded, and suddenly a table appeared in front of Wang Li—the same material as the floor, which looked like a jewel, and Wang Li looked back to see that a chair of the same material had also appeared.

"......," Wang Li didn't sit down, and continued, "You're not a client, are you?" ”

"Uh-what's the matter, although it's true that I didn't ask Lord Gold to ask you, but that 'client' also asked for your help because he accepted my commission." The weirdo touched his chin and said a very complicated line.

“…… Did you accept your commission? Wang Li thought for a moment, "What do you call this - Mr. Quest Boss?" ”

"Oh? It's kind of interesting. Do you know - or did you guess? The strange man nodded, smiled, and said, "The real name is a matter of secrecy, and the code name is the evil king's true eye, but you can just call me the two-color ball." Although I used to think it was very awkward, but now that I'm used to listening to it, I suddenly feel that there is a different flavor. ”

"What kind of flavor is that?" Wang Li also shook his head with a smile, "I've heard players mention the existence of dungeons before. When I'm bored, I've thought about what they say about how dungeons don't all enter in a fixed location. When I did meet it, and when I thought about it carefully, I suddenly found that it was exactly the case - according to a certain 'concept', the person who entered the dungeon was determined. ”

"Ah, indeed. The design of the dungeon is a very laborious thing, if the conditions for entering the dungeon are set too favorable to me, the design of the dungeon itself will be tilted towards the player, and too many resource quotas will be invested in a certain part of the dungeon, and if the difficulty is too high, not only the other parts will have to be rough, but also give the corresponding return as much as possible, which is really troublesome...... The forerunner's soul is weak, and he is easy, so he blames all the troubles on me. ”

The guy who called himself the two-color ball suddenly came out with a big complaint, and it was very abrupt.

However, Wang Li nodded: "Is that so?" That's really hard. There was a look of surprise on his face.

"Hey......" The two-color ball nodded again, smiled strangely, then scratched his head, clenched his right hand into a fist, slammed the palm of his left hand, and said as if he suddenly remembered, "Why are you still standing?" Sit here for a while, and I'll go and bring you the 'client', you're old acquaintances, aren't you?" You can also catch up in a moment. ”

"Wait, wait, there's no hurry." Wang Li frowned and said, "Compared to that, I want to know first, what kind of help do you need me to help with?" ”

"Ah, don't you know? I'm sorry I didn't tell you beforehand. The two-color ball said this, but there was no apology in his voice, on the contrary, as if hiding some kind of schadenfreude malice, "We, we need you to replace a person in a coma for a while, don't worry, we are ready for the specific operation, you just need to bear it silently." ”

Wang Li didn't know what kind of expression he had at this moment, although he barely squeezed out a smile, but I'm afraid he still showed fear, right? The left eye of the two-color ball had changed from turquoise to dazzling gold, and although it was dazzlingly bright, the malicious sneer on his mouth could not be concealed at all.

"What's wrong with you? Looks a little pale, huh? Ah, are you worried about your family? Rest assured, we have all the explanations ready and we will take responsibility to make your family happier than you were when you were there. ”

"Hah, what do you ask? How long is it in a coma? That's a good question. Anyway, I don't know, but in short, you'll be able to solve it before you die - because I'm going to put you in a place where time is slow, where you won't die even for hundreds or thousands of years. Great, isn't it? ”
