Chapter 2: The Mysterious Landlord
Ma Le took out his mobile phone and saw that it was the landlord calling.
"Hey, Brother Liu, what's the matter with me?"
"Pony, it's okay, it's okay, I'm just asking you, it's true that you're not coming back, are you?"
"This ......" Ma Le hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Don't go back!" ”
"Oh, then I can lock the door, you can't get in when you come back, make your own plans, don't come back in the middle of the night and lock it outside!"
"I know Brother Liu, goodbye!"
After putting down the phone, Ma Le couldn't help but sigh. The place where he lives now is a single room in a three-bedroom apartment, the landlord's surname is Liu, everyone generally calls him Brother Liu, and the three houses on the same floor of the same unit are his, which he split into nine single rooms for rent, and a total of 12 tenants live. And Brother Liu himself lives downstairs in the same building, so he usually has a care, and it is convenient to collect rent or something.
Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Brother Liu invited the tenants to go to dinner and sing K to play all night, and the day is set for today. But today was supposed to be the day of the employees of Hongyi Antiques to have a dinner, and Ma Le agreed to the activity over there, so he pushed the landlord here. Who knew that such a thing happened today, the antique store Ma Le definitely couldn't go back, I had the intention to go to the landlord's party, but I couldn't pull it off, and after hesitating, Ma Le still turned down Brother Liu's invitation. Hey, after all, it's still a lonely and lonely cold dick, and it seems that the Internet café is the best destination......
Ma Le was thinking about it like this, but there was a sudden hint of strangeness in his heart, it was understandable for Brother Liu to call him to confirm, but why did he emphasize locking the door? I also have the key to the door of the suite, is it useful to lock the door?
The more Ma Le thought about it, the more strange it became, anyway, the Internet café he planned to go to was also downstairs in the residence, so he just went upstairs to see what was going on.
In this way, Ma Le returned to the apartment, stood in front of the door of the suite where he lived, and was completely shocked by the door in front of him......
Ma Le lives in an old-fashioned apartment, the door of the suite is very spacious, or double doors, one large and one small, with iron railings on the outside of the door and iron plates on the inside. What made Ma Le feel dumbfounded was not the retro shape of the gate, but the thick iron chains on the iron railing, which tied the gates on both sides tightly, and there was a large old-fashioned lock hanging on it, which made a rattling sound with the iron chain, as if laughing at the small key in Ma Le's hand.
Ma Le looked back and saw that the other two suites were the same, locked tightly in this primitive and brutal way...... This can arouse Ma Le's interest, and at the moment, it seems that Brother Liu obviously doesn't want anyone to enter these rooms, and even the tenants who originally lived here have been paid out by him for the reason of the party, what is Brother Liu hiding? What's going to happen in the room tonight? Ma Le's exuberant curiosity began to stir.
Ma Le found a wire, if it is an anti-theft door, there may really be no way, this old-fashioned iron lock, he will open it when he is eight years old. However, the neighbor who taught him to pick locks back then is now in prison.
Opened the lock in three or two, Ma Le took off his coat and padded the railing, tried not to make a sound, carefully untied the chain and put it aside, and then used the key to open the door lock, gently opened the door, and picked up the waste water pipe standing at the door, but he was not in a hurry to enter. After waiting for more than ten seconds, Ma Le suddenly rolled in, picked up the water pipe and looked around!
But the room was empty, and Ma Le stood up and tiptoed around the room a few times, but found nothing suspicious; I put my ear to the door of a few private rooms, but I didn't hear any movement.
"Sure enough, I'm nervous!" Ma Le laughed at himself, although the door was a little scary, but in reality, it was so easy to encounter any conspiracy or supernatural events.
Ma Le let out a sigh of relief, took out the key to the single room, opened his door, entered the room and sat on the bed. After such a toss just now, he didn't have the mood to go to the Internet café for the night, anyway, he came in now, so he just rested in the room, and bought a ticket home tomorrow in good spirits!
It was still early, and Ma Le took out his laptop from the closet. There is not even a network in this place, so you can only play stand-alone games to kill time. He's been in this notebook for a long time, and he can't run any popular masterpieces, but it contains a lot of classic games that he used to be fascinated by. After browsing the E disk, Ma Le picked a long-sealed RPG.
Open the game, the classic and quaint interface makes Ma Le nostalgic for his student days again, looking at a few old files, he has no motivation to continue farming, so he simply creates a new trumpet and revisits the plot.
Choosing a new game, answering a few questions about the initial state, and entering the Create Character screen. Character attributes have strength, agility, body, and spirit, and the initial value is 13 points, 5 attribute points can be freely assigned, 5 skill points can be freely assigned, and 100 proficiency points can be freely distributed
Looking at these attribute skills to be assigned, Ma Le recalled that there was a superb light crossbow with a strength requirement of 15 points in the hidden treasure chest in the novice village, which was an artifact in the early stage! So he decisively added two points of strength. I remember that at the beginning of the chapter, I could learn the primary healing technique from the village doctor, and it cost seven points of spirit, so he increased the spirit to 14 points, so that he could send two skills in a row. The remaining two points are all assigned to the body, and it is not easy to fall when the blood is thick and high!
As for the skill points, there are not many skills that can be learned at the beginning, and the practical ones are even rarer, Ma Le didn't want to think about it, and decisively ordered the third-level iron bone, and the two-level fast. The effect of Iron Bone is to increase health, and swiftness is to increase movement speed, with enough speed and high enough HP, and with the best light crossbow, it is enough to kite all the monsters near the novice village.
As for the final 100 proficiency points, all of them are naturally allocated to crossbow mastery.
Ma Le is excited to create a character, but he doesn't know that in another suite just across the wall from him, there is also a young man facing the computer. If there were no walls in the middle, the young man and Ma Le would not be more than a meter apart, almost facing each other.
The young man was medium to thin, tall, delicate, with an anxious look between his eyebrows, while paying attention to the notebook in front of him, and from time to time he looked at an old man sitting on the bed next to him.
The old man looked to be in his sixties, and his appearance was not unusual, but he was neatly dressed, his body was straight, and his hair was meticulously combed. The old man's eyes were closed, he sat cross-legged on the bed, his hands changing the magic seal at a very fast speed, and his body also faintly emitted a soft light, and the color kept changing, reflecting the light and darkness in the room. There were also dozens of rune papers floating in the air around the old man, painted with strange symbols, moving slowly with a certain regularity.
The young man did not seem to be surprised by such a vision, as the speed of the rune paper around the old man increased, the anxious look in the young man's eyes became even worse, he opened his mouth slightly, and stopped talking several times, just staring at the old man.
Gradually, the speed of the rune paper around the old man was fast to the limit, to the naked eye, like a high-power electric fan, the light on his body was getting stronger and stronger, and the changes were getting faster and faster, and finally, with the old man's short low drink, all the visions disappeared together, and the rune paper also stopped instantly, slowly falling down, but surprisingly, these rune papers have turned into white papers, and the strange symbols on them have disappeared.
"Fauber, how's it going?" Seeing this, the young man knew that the old man had finished doing the work, and hurriedly asked.
The old man slowly opened his eyes, and two white rainbows shot out, reflecting the originally ordinary facial features with such a fairy wind in his domineering manner, not angry and self-assured, which made people feel like they were worshipping.
"We've been contacted, young master, get ready!" The old man, who was called Fubo, got out of bed, walked up to the young man, and put his hand on the young man's shoulder.
"Wait...... Fauber, I'd like to think again! The young man stopped, and seemed to hesitate. Fu Bo persuaded: "Don't hesitate, young master! If you want to have the same power as me, if you want to successfully cure that disease, if you want to regain what you lost, you must enter that world! Don't worry, I've got it all arranged, and I'll definitely make you strong as quickly as possible."
The young man thought about it again and finally nodded. Seeing that he had made up his mind, the old man pressed his hand on the young man's shoulder, closed his eyes again, and said something in his mouth, as if he was talking to someone: "Empress, heavy artillery, are you ready, Moyin, start the link!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the computer screen in front of the young man burst into dazzling light, and the young man seemed to have some kind of resonance with the computer, and the same light emanated from his body.
At the same time, on the other side of the wall, Ma Le, who had completed all the initial settings, was about to press enter to confirm, but suddenly felt that the outer thigh on his right side began to heat up, and the temperature rose extremely quickly, and it was already hot in a moment! Ma Le hurriedly reached out to grab it, and as soon as he touched a hard object in his trouser pocket, he was scalded by the high temperature and retracted his hand. In desperation, he took off his pants and threw them aside, but the hot object in his trouser pocket burned through the fabric and floated and hovered in the air.
"Oh my good, what the hell is this!" Ma Le was already stupid, the object glowed red, floating in the air, and slowly flew towards him. When it flew in front of him, the thing slowly stopped, and Ma Le saw that this was not the jade pendant he collected for 100 yuan during the day!
"Damn, it seems that these 100 yuan are not in vain, and they have received a monster!" Ma Le wanted to reach out and take it, but he was afraid of the high temperature of the jade pendant, so he could only put his face up to look at it, and found that this jade pendant was a little different from when he saw it during the day, and a line of numbers seemed to appear on it, which seemed to be ...... 110405!
Before Ma Le could take a closer look, the jade pendant accelerated violently, slammed into his face, and disappeared into his forehead! Ma Le was taken aback, took a step back and stood unsteadily, reached out to support the keyboard of the computer, and happened to press the enter key!
At the same time, the light on the young man on the other side of the wall suddenly soared, and the old man shouted, "Go you!" The computer in front of the young man suddenly erupted into a huge ball of light, enveloping the young man, and not only that, but the ball of light also melted through the wall and swallowed Ma Le and his notebook on the other side!
At this moment, a strong light flashed in the sky, and a thick lightning bolt was attracted by this unknown energy, directly penetrating the glass of Ma Le's room, and was splitting at Ma Le in the light cluster!
