[Congratulations on obtaining the Hidden Item: National Teacher's Mask.] 】

[Confrontation side quest: Uncover the true face of the national teacher with 1/3 completion. 】

How could that national teacher be Chi Yu?

Is he an NPC or a player?

Judging from the attitude towards him at the front desk in the hotel lobby, he doesn't look like an ordinary player at all, but can NPCs still circulate between different dungeons?

The two people behind him didn't seem to have the idea of catching up, Xu Zhibai slowed down, and his heart sank slightly.

When she came, she made a special effort to remember the road she had walked, but at this moment, she was still lost.

Even worse, the wind grew stronger, and from time to time one or two lanterns were blown down.

When she ran to pick it up, the candle was already out.

At this rate, if you continue to stay in the dark, there may be some kind of unknown danger.

A layer of sticky sweat floated in his palms, Xu Zhibai kicked away the extinguished lantern in front of him, paused, and gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Satsuki!"

"Satsuki!"

In the silent silence, her voice was like a pebble falling into a dry well, splashing layers of echoes.

The name of this hidden mission is Satsuki's heart, and it must be related to Satsuki.

It's obviously not a very wise thing to do now, but she can't find a direction at all now, and instead of spending time in the dark and waiting for the darkness to swallow her, it's better to attract key people to it.

She shouldn't have run away just now, she could only blame the national teacher for being too evil.

Soon, there was the sound of footsteps behind him.

"Stop shouting! Are you crazy! Satsuki hurriedly walked over, made a silent gesture, and lowered her voice to warn, "If you are heard......"

Xu Zhibai's eyes flashed.

Being heard?

What was heard?

What happens when you are heard?

She didn't ask, and replied in the same low voice: "I was really scared just now, and I found you still there halfway through the run, are you okay?" ”

"Let's go back."

Xiao Yue froze for a moment, paused for a long time, lowered her head, and her eyes flickered.

"I ...... It's okay...... Let's go. ”

Someone walks the same way, dispelling the fear of the darkness a little.

Xu Zhibai took Xiaoyue's arm and said affectionately: "We are all sisters in the same room, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me, I will definitely do my best to help you." ”

"I'm not going to say anything about tonight. If you don't want to go to the cattery tomorrow, just say it's not comfortable, take a leave of absence, and I'll be fine alone. ”

The seriousness of her voice can be understood as the solemnity after careful consideration, and if she is found to be expressionless and cold when she says this, it will not be too second, but the look that the night just hides is hidden.

Xiao Yue didn't notice it, she thanked gratefully: "Thank you, I'...... I'm really scared ......."

"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'll be with you."

After Xu Zhibai finished speaking, he realized that his tone was very similar to Chi Yu who was pretending to be a national teacher just now.

He pretended to be concerned about people, and his tone was soft, but there was no emotion on his face.

"Can you really help me get to the cattery?"

Xiao Yue blinked her eyes, took her hand excitedly, and her palm brushed her cuffs as if unconscious: "Why are you so good, but...... It is stipulated that two people must go together, and I can't harm you......"

How big is a cat that requires two people to feed the cat together?

Or is there a mechanic in the cattery that has to be triggered by two people together?

"Absolutely." Xu Zhibai patted her lightly on the shoulder, pretending not to notice what she put in her sleeve pocket, and his voice became softer and softer: "Don't worry, we'll all be fine, but ......"

"Can you tell me why you're so afraid to go to the cattery?"

These words made Xiao Yue be silent for a while, and the air began to freeze because of this moment of sinking, and sticky and moist sweat secreted from the palms of her hands.

Giggle –

Satsuki turned her head towards her, her body not moving, only her neck turning slowly and stiffly, making an ominous gurgling sound.

The pale lantern shook violently by the wind, and the candle flame danced.

Xu Zhibai's heart jumped suddenly, this is the last lantern on this road, if it goes out, I don't know what will happen.

She was about to quickly catch the crumbling lantern when Satsuki beside her suddenly spoke.

"Because—"

The hollow eyes firmly locked on Xu Zhibai, and his lips were abnormally red in the miserable white light.

"Whoever goes there will die."

"You're going to die, I'm going to die, all of us are going to die."

Xu Zhibai: ......

Sister, aren't you talking nonsense?

To live is to die.

The sound of the wind in his ears was stronger than ever, and the chill easily penetrated the thin clothes, causing the skin to shiver.

It's too late.

It can be dangerous to find no way out.

As soon as Xiao Yue's words fell, she suddenly raised her hand at Xu Zhibai.

Although the light was particularly dim, Xu Zhibai had been highly vigilant, and the moment he saw her move, his body reacted faster than his brain, and he kicked her chest with his leg.

The sound of bone cracking was especially noticeable in the empty and silent hallway.

Xiao Yue didn't let out a scream, she fell straight back, her limbs twitched a few times, and she didn't move.

[The death of the task subject is detected, and the side quest is ended.] 】

[70% mission completion will reward 500 Blue Moon Coins.] 】

After a burst of white light, Xu Zhibai returned to the blood-soaked cattery.

The dazzling red light on the ground gradually faded, and the moment the last glimmer of light disappeared, Xu Zhibai saw a familiar white sliding down his body.

A white handkerchief staggered to the ground, and the scarlet blood on the ground did not stain it in the slightest.

The pieces of paper that were wrapped in it also fell.

She recognized at a glance that it was Satsuki's handkerchief.

【Warning! HP is about to drop below 10! 】

didn't have time to think so much, Xu Zhibai grabbed the two things and ran towards the gate.

When she rushed out of the door and basked in the sun, she realized that it was too smooth to come out from time to time.

[Main quest 1/10: Explore the cattery, completed.] 】

Didn't you say that you would die if you went in?

That's it?

"Here you are."

A delicate whisper came from behind him, a very familiar voice.

The girl in the pink skirt walked over with a friendly smile, looked at the surroundings and explained, "We didn't wait for you, so we asked, I heard that you came here." ”

"You ......" she realized that the face of the person in front of her was not right, and her face was worried, "Sick, aren't you?" I have medicine here, you use it first. ”

As soon as she said this, Xu Zhibai remembered that you can buy medicines in the system mall, but the lowest medicines start at a thousand.

So she was not polite, took the medicine handed by the girl, raised her head and drank it.

The stamina finally stopped dropping and began to rise slowly.

The film that separates it from the world is like a thin snow in the sunlight slowly melting.

[Now release the main quest 2/10: Explore Baili Mansion.] 】

Seeing that Xu Zhibai's face was much better, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and smiled softly: "Your aura against Lord Baili is so strong today, are you alone?" Would you like to team up with us? The quest I entered with my sister, currently I'm C-grade, and my sister is B-grade. ”

When Xu Zhibai heard their ranks, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

I thought that this lowest-level D-level dungeon was considered a novice village, but it turned out that there were B-level players.

Is she a pure newbie when co-authoring?

She touched her nose and agreed without hesitation: "Okay." ”
