Chapter 2 Scarlet Community I

Li Xiang took off the game helmet and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, this game novice task is quite simple, but it is somewhat useful for his current state, at least he did feel fear at the last moment, this long-lost sense of fear made him see hope.

"This game really has an effect on my illness, and it seems that if I want to become a normal person and integrate into a normal life, I must use this game." Li Xiang took a deep breath, although he didn't know who developed this game, and he didn't know what their purpose was, but at least he hadn't encountered danger yet.

"I just went offline too quickly, and I didn't even look at the rewards carefully." Li Xiang was also frightened by the green-haired face that jumped at the end.

Li Xiang saw the black phone flashing, so he picked it up and looked at it, and there was a blood-red title on it.

Countdown to the "Scarlet Community" mission: three days, 23 hours, and 54 minutes

"Mission Requirements: Please start the "Scarlet Community" quest before the countdown ends. ”

Li wanted to see the hint of the black phone, so he threw the black phone to the other side, since there was still time, he didn't need to spend too much time on this game.

He opened his mobile phone and looked at it, and saw that there was a prompt on it to miss the call, it seemed that someone called him during the game, and seeing the name on it, Li Xiang couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Because the call was his roommate and current colleague Lu Yuan during college, Lu Yuan also knew that his illness was very serious, so Li Xiang didn't know what he was calling for.

"Hey, what's the matter with me?" Li Xiang called back, his tone was very cold, although he knew that such a tone was uncomfortable, but he couldn't show his enthusiastic side.

"Master Li, what have you been busy with lately, and you are still talking so coldly, we are also college roommates, can't you express a little joy?" A man's hearty laugh came from the other end of the line.

"If you're okay, then I'll hang up, and you know I'm in a weird situation right now." Li Xiang still looked cold in the face of Lu Yuan's jokes, this was not his intention, but he was now in this situation of lack of emotion.

"Okay, okay, Young Master Li, tomorrow is not the weekend, I'm here to invite you to a party, I don't know if you are old enough to appreciate the light? If you continue to be closed like this, I guess your illness will be more serious, I think you should participate in more group activities, in case anything gets better? Lu Yuan heard that Li Xiang was about to hang up the phone, so he immediately made his intention clear, he knew that Li Xiang was this kind of person who had been cold since college, but he was a warm and cheerful boy on the contrary.

And these two people with opposite personalities have become the best friends, so for Li Xiang's strange disease, he didn't stand by coldly, but kept thinking of ways with Li Xiang.

"I ...... Not interested, you can go yourself. After Li Xiang finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone, it was not that he didn't want to go, but he lacked the expression of emotions now, and everyone was happily playing at that time, and he went in with a cold face, which would cause unnecessary misunderstandings to others.

Li Xiang put down the phone and lay motionless on the bed, the sunlight outside the window sprinkled into the room, bringing warmth, but there was no way to drive away the coldness in his heart.

"Anyway, it's idle and nothing, so let's go ahead and try this game." Li Xiang sat up from the bed and picked up the helmet and brought it to his head.

[Welcome players back, you have the prerequisite task "Scarlet Community.] "It needs to be done, click the start button to load the game map]

The cold mechanical sound echoed in his ears, Li Xiang took a deep breath, clicked the start button, and his eyes suddenly went black, and after a while, his eyes lit up.

When he opened his eyes, he was standing under a six-story residential building at night, looking at the mottled façade of the residential building, which seemed to be an old residential building.

"Mission Tips: There was a brutal homicide in the paper grave community, the murderer decomposed the body of the deceased and threw it downstairs, and then after the police restored, it was found that the body still had some stumps not found, and since then, strange things have continued in the paper grave community, your task is to find the stump that was hidden, and bring it to room 404."

"Quest items: a key to room 404, sneakers for the undead."

"Game Reminder: The murderer of this mission has not been caught, so there is a certain danger, the player will face the threat of the death of the game character, please be careful to open the game, once the game dies, it will be recognized as a Vault Dweller, and become the target of other players."

After reading the introduction of the game, Li Xiang's heart couldn't help but feel a little weird, the paper grave community, room 404, these names all represent ominous feelings, and they also deliberately reminded themselves that there is a threat of death, it seems that this task is two degrees different from the previous Grave of Despair.

Li Xiang first checked the game props, the key was very ordinary, it should be the key to open the residential building, and the pair of sneakers made his eyes shine.

"Undead Sneakers: can increase the player's running speed, reduce physical exertion, and improve stamina."

"These sneakers are good, and they allow me to run in time." Li Xiang put on his sneakers without hesitation, and then looked at the residential building again.

Li Xiang thought about it for a while, but decided to go in and have a look, and he controlled his body and walked towards the community.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that the bulletin board on the first floor of this residential building attracted his attention, he walked over to take a look, and found that there were not many residents in this residential building.

Room 302, Room 401, and Room 504 are all occupied, and one of them is still on the same floor as himself.

Li Xiang took this information to heart, and walked towards the elevator.

Although the community is a little older, an elevator is still installed, and it seems that the original condition of this residential building is still good.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Li Xiang smelled a pungent smell, which he was familiar with, the smell of disinfectant water.

"Why do good elevators spray a lot of disinfectant water?" Li Xiang didn't understand, he took the elevator to the fourth floor, found room 404, just took out the key and was about to open the door, he saw the door of room 401 open a crack, he turned his head and looked over, one eye was looking at himself there, and the other party seemed to see that he had found himself, so he took the initiative to open the door and walked out.

"Are you a new resident of House 404?" What came out was a middle-aged uncle wearing short sleeves, big pants, and a greasy face.

"Well, I just moved in." Li Xiang's lack of emotion made him unable to laugh, it seemed that it was because of his cold words that the scene suddenly became quiet, and the middle-aged uncle didn't know how to answer his words.

"Really? Then you are really lucky, I hope you can live safely, good luck. The middle-aged uncle opened his mouth to break the silence, he saw Li Xiang's cold appearance, and knew that people didn't want to say anything more to him, so he turned around and prepared to go back.

Li Xiang saw that the uncle's last look had mockery in his eyes and a hint of schadenfreude, which made him very puzzled.

"It seems that this room 404 is definitely not simple." Li Xiang saw the middle-aged uncle close the door after he went back, Li Xiang did not immediately open the door of 404, but walked to the door of 401 and pressed his ear tightly to the door, hoping to hear some useful clues.

But there was only the noise of the TV in the room, and no other useful information could be heard.

Li Xiang then turned around and returned to the outside of room 404, took out the key and opened the door.

As soon as he opened the door, a musty smell came to his face, which made Li Xiang frown a little for a while, he was a doctor, more or less clean, and he felt awkward when he smelled this musty smell, but for the sake of the game task, he still walked in.

Tried to turn on the light, but for some reason, the bulb didn't light up at all, so Li Xiang had to take out a black phone from his pocket and turn on the flashlight function.

Borrowing a flashlight, Li Xiang began to look at the living room, this living room is not large, only 30 square meters, the right hand side is the kitchen, next to the kitchen and a bathroom, there is a bedroom in the direction of the door, and there is a bedroom opposite the bathroom, and a balcony on the left hand side.

There are furniture in the living room, but they are covered with a white cloth, which looks very strange.
