Chapter 9: The Aftermath of the Killing
The night passed.
When Zhou Lang woke up, he had a feeling of "I don't know what year it is".
The dungeon space is still static, exactly the same as it was before he fell asleep, with no changes.
"What time is it?"
Rubbing his aching neck, Zhou Lang stood up and took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket.
The time shown on the phone is: 6:20 a.m.
"So early?"
Zhou Lang was a little surprised, looked down at the hard bluestone pavement, and shook his head with a wry smile, "Okay, such a hard ground...... I was woken up!"
Now that I've woken up and I'm a little hungry, I'm going out to eat something first.
Just as he was about to leave the dungeon space, Zhou Lang suddenly stopped again.
"If someone is walking on the road, and I exit the quest and suddenly it pops up in front of him, what will happen ......"
Zhou Lang frowned tightly, "If only I could see the situation outside the copy clearly!"
As soon as the words fell, the dungeon space "buzzed".
The colorless and transparent water light rippled up, and the entire dungeon space suddenly turned into a transparent blurred state.
The scene of the outside world was once again presented in front of Zhou Lang's eyes.
The blurred transparent copy space, like a layer of transparent glue, was pasted on the street of Yanjiang Road.
Zhou Lang stood in the virtual and transparent copy space, and pedestrians and vehicles from the outside world passed by, like two parallel lines, independent of each other and not interfering with each other.
"The entire quest space...... Is it round?"
Looking up, Zhou Lang found that the entire virtual copy space was a circle, a circle with a diameter of about 100 meters.
Why is it a circle? Is it because ...... Coins?
The origin of this copy is because of Xiao Lingling's "penny", so the copy space is a circle?
Zhou Lang shook his head and threw away the question.
Turning his head to look around, Zhou Lang found that the scope of the space enveloped included a section of the road, a section of the sidewalk, a river beach, and a few shops on the other side of the road.
"Wherever the dungeon is shrouded, can you choose the position you want to exit?
Zhou Lang chose a corner where no one was, and his figure flickered, and instantly appeared on the side of the river beach, under a row of weeping willows.
After leaving the dungeon, Zhou Lang made a new discovery.
The first discovery is that the resources recovered by the quest can still be taken out at any time even after leaving the quest, and can be put away again.
Another discovery is that as long as he is within the scope of the dungeon, Zhou Lang can enter the dungeon space at any time.
"Great!
This discovery surprised Zhou Lang very much.
Being killed once, Zhou Lang was very insecure, and his heart was always very nervous, always feeling that there was a sword hanging over his head, and he didn't know when it would fall.
Now, with this function of entering the dungeon space at any time, there is finally a place to escape at a critical time.
"As long as I don't leave the area shrouded by the dungeon, I'm safe!"
Zhou Lang breathed a sigh of relief and raised his eyes to look across the road.
There is a breakfast shop across the road, right within the reach of the dungeon. Zhou Lang walked across the road, intending to have breakfast.
ordered a cup of soy milk and a few fritters in the breakfast shop, Zhou Lang sat at the table by the window and began to eat breakfast.
"Something's wrong!
"There's a lot of cops over there!"
"It's Chaoyang Lane! There's an accident in Chaoyang Lane!"
Zhou Lang had just finished eating a fritter when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door.
Chaoyang Lane?
Zhou Lang was shocked, and suddenly stood up, his face a little pale.
Chaoyang Lane ...... Zhou Lang's house is in Chaoyang Lane!
I was killed once last night, and somehow came back to life. Because he felt unsafe, Zhou Lang ran out of the house.
Right now...... Did something really happen? That "killer" really went to Chaoyang Lane again?
Who is going to kill me, and why is it going to kill me?
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Lang clenched his fists tightly.
After calming down the horror in his heart a little, Zhou Lang took out his sunglasses and put them on, turned around and walked out of the breakfast shop.
At the moment, the sidewalk outside is already crowded with people.
Zhou Lang hid in the crowd and looked at Chaoyang Lane from a distance.
The entrance to Chaoyang Lane has been cordoned off by the police, and a group of police officers are guarding the intersection. There are also several police cars and ambulances parked on the side of the road.
At this time, a team of policemen came out of the alley carrying several stretchers. The figure lying on the stretcher was tightly covered with a white cloth, apparently ...... It was a corpse.
Who died? Who was killed?
Zhou Lang looked at the stretcher carried out by the police, and his heart tightened.
"Alas! Pitiful! Meng Laosan's whole family of five was killed! His daughter was only five years old, and she was also killed! It was too ruthless!"
Zhou Lang heard someone talking in front of him.
Meng Laosan?
Hearing that it was Meng Laosan's family who was killed, Zhou Lang was shocked, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Meng Laosan is Zhou Lang's neighbor, and his family lives on the corner of the entrance of Chaoyang Lane.
The relationship between Zhou Lang and Meng Laosan is very ordinary, and there is no deep friendship. But...... The time Zhou Lang was killed last night happened to be near Meng Laosan's house, just around the corner of the intersection.
Meng Laosan's whole family was killed, and I happened to be killed in that position, that is...... It's likely that the other party came to kill Meng Laosan's whole family, and I just happened to bump into it?
Why am I unlucky and tragic, and I happened to bump into it, and I was chopped by someone?
Zhou Lang suddenly felt like crying.
Huh, wait!
If it's just an ordinary homicide, then ...... When I was killed, why did that black serrated knife decompose? It even decomposed my original body into slag?
This kind of method is definitely not something that normal people can use!
Moreover, if it was the same person who committed the crime, why did Meng Laosan's family still have corpses left?
Thinking of this, Zhou Lang suddenly thought of another possibility.
Maybe...... The other party's target is me, but Meng Laosan's whole family just killed him?
What is the truth?
Zhou Lang clenched his fists tightly, took a deep breath, and calmed the horror in his heart.
With no corpse to be seen, and no scene of the murder, Zhou Lang couldn't know the truth at all. This made Zhou Lang very helpless.
When it comes to his own life and death, Zhou Lang can't help but be vigilant and nervous.
If the other party's goal is me, then ......
I don't want to die!
I can't afford to sit still!
Behind the pitch-black sunglasses, Zhou Lang's eyes flashed with a cold cold light.
The only way for me to survive is a dungeon!
It's not about hiding in the dungeon to "survive", but to get various resources through the dungeon and constantly improve your strength!
If you want to kill me, I will kill you!
I'll let you know that your grandfather is not easy to mess with!
Zhou Lang clenched his teeth tightly.
The fate of Meng Laosan's whole family is in front of him, and the bloody scene has completely awakened Zhou Lang.
