The sky was overcast, surrounded by dead wood, and the feet were yellow.

In the distance, a woman in a red dress turned her back to her and didn't know what she was doing, humming a light ditty. There was a decay in the air that she had never smelled before.

……

It's all full of weirdness.

Si Qi approached, wanting to see her clearly. Looking from the side, the woman gave her a very familiar feeling.

When I got closer, I heard what the woman was singing.

“…… The lamb invites the big bad wolf,

The flock rejoices, ready hot water,

Prepare fresh grass and sing for guests.

The little sheep invites the big tiger,

The flock rejoices, prepares the firewood,

Prepare a bonfire, dance and wait for the guests to ......"

I don't know why, she was a little apprehensive and a little afraid. The thoughts in my head passed through like a train whistle.

I even want to scream out.

As if sensing someone approaching, the woman put down the paper kite in her hand and looked up.

She smiled, "...... Are you a lamb? ”

"I'm not!"

Siqi sat up sharply from the bed, gasping for air.

The wind leaked in from the unclosed balcony, and she realized that she was soaking wet.

Getting out of bed and putting on her coat, she walked to the balcony and looked out into the dim light below.

The half-bent double moon is still hanging in the sky.

Si Qi knew that there were a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows in every part of the surrounding buildings, keeping an eye on her movements, ready to attack her at any moment. The waning moon is a day when residents can move freely within a limited range, and it is destined to be a day full of killing. Since nightfall, the system has been announcing people who are out, and tonight she can be so quiet only because she has found the city lord of the Grotesque City.

She saw and heard in the gymnasium that day—

Zhang Li is the lord of the city.

When the pervert with the scalpel came out that day, she was far away - she was in a trance after seeing Zhang Li, so she went to the side to rest.

He killed several people, causing panic, and she saw that the situation was not right and went into hiding.

Later, I saw Zhang Li and the others entered the gymnasium and didn't come out for a long time, so she quietly followed up.

Later, the system suddenly issued a mission to attack the city lord, and she left for fear of being discovered.

All the people she teamed up with that night died. She doesn't have any secret weapons, and she survives on others along the way. Now that there are no people, she can't find a safe and reliable team, and if nothing else, she will definitely not survive the next night.

When she heard the city lord's mission, she just had the idea of giving it a try.

I didn't expect to be so lucky to meet them.

Holding on to luck again, Si Qi followed Zhang Li back.

Seeing that she was lively and funny, careless but considerate, Si Qi was very suspicious, obviously in her last impression, she was not like this......

Clearly...... That person, not like that.

Many times people die of curiosity, especially here. She cherished her life and was afraid of death, so she had to be a person without curiosity.

So, forget it.

The door was pushed open, and Zhang Li saw Si Qi standing outside with his coat on, and asked, "Can't you sleep?" ”

Si Qi turned around, "It's a little hot inside, I'll come out and blow the wind." ”

"Oh, then I'll go to sleep first." Zhang Li smiled at her, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, very pleasant, "Good night." ”

Seeing Zhang Li's crooked eyes, Si Qi suddenly remembered that the eyes in the dream were also crooked and smiling, but they made her extremely frightened.

She leaned back, her hands unconsciously clenching a railing, as if trying to draw some strength from it to support herself.

“…… The lamb invites the big bad wolf,

The flock rejoices, ready hot water,

Prepare fresh grass and sing for guests.

The little sheep invites the big tiger,

The flock rejoices, prepares the firewood,

Prepare a bonfire, dance and wait for the guests to ......"

- The catchy and cheerful little tune sounded in my ears again.

＊＊＊＊＊

Zhang Li slumped on the sofa, playing with Xiao Huanghua in one hand and holding the remote control in the other hand to change TV shows, no matter how she changed, there were only a few stations.

After Dong Dongdong didn't have much heart to do the hidden task, he brushed enough of his presence in front of Zhang Li and went out to do the task with the badge.

As for Zhao Ruqing, he completed all the tasks and went back to the rest area.

If it weren't for Zhang Li's thighs, he estimated that he would have stayed in this game for a month, and it was not certain that he would not be alive.

Since last night, when the news spread that all the people who had taken the badge had not been attacked by the city's citizens when they walked at night, Zhang Li's side quest had been completed.

Let all players not be afraid of the original midnight plot setting, and they will not worry about knocking on the wrong door and being killed directly during the day, which is equivalent to opening a hang for them, or the invincible version.

Many people are very grateful to the city lord of the Grotesque City, if they can receive a thank you card, it is estimated that Zhang Li can be submerged by the sea of cards.

The player is very happy, and the system is a little bald (if there is a head). Without the death of players, new players will not be able to enter this game world, and there will be no endless vitality to appear, and this world will eat jujube pills.

Every game world takes a lot of resources to build, and if it's gone, the system will be heartbroken and can't breathe.

But Zhang Li's starting point is to complete the task, and he did not deliberately destroy the world, and the system cannot punish her, who let this task be cheap.

When the system was struggling with how to maintain the world, Zhang Li finally remembered the green glass ball that she had never seen the light of day since she put it in her bag.

She took it and ran it around in her hand, and kicked it as a ball for a while...... Anyway, it's all kinds of thinking about its use. If this glass ball is conscious, I don't know how to accuse Zhang Li of atrocity.

Si Qi saw this thing and looked at it carefully for a long time before asking, "This is the heart of the city?" ”

Zhang Li nodded, "Acquaintance?" ”

"I was introduced in a previous mission."

"Huh?" Zhang Li stopped moving, hugged the glass ball, and asked for advice seriously, "Do you know what it's used for?" ”

"It is said to be used to lock in disasters. In the past, the city of the Grotesque was a normal place, but then I don't know why, everyone is almost dead, and the living people lock the disaster in the heart of the city. ”

"The story has both suspense and mythology...... Do you think that if I break it, it will be like Pandora opening a treasure box, and all kinds of unfortunate things will come out of nowhere? Zhang Li stared at the glass ball in his arms, eager to try.

Si Qi is realistic: "I think it's better not to die." ”

If Si Qi hadn't said this, probably Zhang Li would have thought about it casually and wouldn't really do it, but now that she said this, Zhang Li's heart, which had not died for a long time, began to beat violently again.

Before Si Qi could figure out what she was doing when she went to the balcony with the glass beads, she had already taken the glass beads out of the balcony and lightly-

Si Qi: "!! ”

"Bang-"

Zhang Li stretched her neck to see that the glass ball fell from such a high place and looked intact, she was a little unconvinced, and quickly went downstairs to pick it up, planning to do it again.
