After dinner, the sun went down with it.

The fat man always goes to bed early, doesn't care about eating, doesn't go for a walk after eating, just says hello to the players, and then goes back to his room.

Probably because of what happened this morning, Xiao Qi was still thinking about the photo in her heart, and looked at Yuan Yuxue with a little uneasiness - she even couldn't help but open her mouth several times, trying to persuade Yuan Yuxue to stay with her.

It was only because of the previous refusal that I secretly endured it.

But the deeper the night, the harder it is to hide this fear.

Xiao Qi looked at Yuan Yuxue with some anxiety, his eyes fluttered, and he stopped talking.

So before returning to the room, Yuan Yuxue looked at Xiao Qi who couldn't help but follow him, and tilted his head slightly.

Before Xiao Qi knew it, he was about to follow his room.

The slender fingers were slightly cold, and pressed on Xiao Qi's hair.

A little coolness came from the thin hair on the top of his head.

Xiao Qi was slightly stunned for a moment, and then raised his head, reacting to what he had just done, and was embarrassed.

Yuan Xuxue's strength was not too big, but she pressed it very slightly, and when she saw that she had forgotten it, she slowly withdrew her hand.

The light bulbs used on the floor are the most old-fashioned yellow incandescent lights.

Maybe it's because I don't usually use it much, and I haven't replaced it for a long time, and the light looks dim, like a dim candlelight.

This light is a little unreflective of people's complexion, and it belongs to the kind of people who can shine "not very good-looking".

But Yuan Yuxue's face was like being coated with a layer of warm light like beautiful jade under this light, which was very good-looking, and it was not as cold as it looked on weekdays.

He looked at Xiao Qi and tilted his head slightly. The lips that had eaten hot pot before and were red and couldn't disappear opened and closed slightly, and said something silently.

"Don't worry about me".

Because it was a very short sentence, Xiao Qi immediately recognized it from the shape of his mouth.

All of a sudden, he became even more flustered.

She lowered her head as if in a hurry. There was an awkward silence that spread for a while.

The slight and soft coolness coming from the hair swirl seemed to have not disappeared, and after a pause, Xiao Qi raised his head violently as if he was in some panic, and said, "I didn't ......"

When she looked at Shangyuan Yuxue's face and looked into the other party's calm and dark eyes, she seemed to be strangely soothed by this calm state.

Pursing his lips slightly, Xiao Qi seemed to have made up his mind, "If something happens, remember to knock on the window." ”

This is the code agreed between them. The sound of glass windows being shattered is seen by others faster and more clearly.

Yuan Yuxue thought for a moment.

Although he didn't think he would be in danger enough to break the glass, he nodded earnestly.

After finally explaining such a sentence, Xiao Qi seemed to be afraid that he would regret staying any longer, so he quickly turned his head and hurriedly walked upstairs.

There were other players who passed by the second floor and looked at Yuan Yuxue very silently. However, when Yuan Yuxue's eyes turned away, the man had already left, and he could only see the corners of his clothes floating out.

So Yuan Yuxue also went back to the room and closed the door.

He took out his phone and calmly pulled up the photos he had taken.

- Compared to the changes in the photo in the morning, which were difficult for others to observe with the naked eye, the changes in this photo that Yuan Yuxue saw now are much more obvious than before.

As he said, the distance between the coffin and the camera seems to be silently narrowing a little.

That face was also reflected much more clearly.

Lao Li's daughter's eyes seemed to be inexplicably wider, and she could clearly see her gray pupils and the gray-blue bloodshot spreading on the whites of her eyes.

At that moment, it was even easy to give the illusion that she was not dead—even that she was firmly focused on the person who took her through this photograph.

There was an invisible chill that jumped up from the photo.

But Yuan wants snow, but he doesn't feel anything.

His fingertips landed on the photograph and rubbed the part of it slightly, as if to wipe the screen of his phone more thoroughly. looked at the old Li daughter who was locked on him with his "gaze" extremely seriously.

After a while, I put my phone away and put it next to the bed.

It's past eight o'clock.

The scenery outside the window was completely plunged into a thick darkness. It wasn't late at night, but no sound could be heard, and in the near-eerie silence, the players closed their eyes with a little vigilance.

No one will fall asleep.

At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, I opened my eyes quite tacitly, and then began to check the update of the mission interface.

According to the rules set by the task system, they will update the inspection value of the day at 0:00 in the middle of the night every day.

The survey value team shares, and when it meets the condition of 100% survey value, it can leave the gold and silver village, which is equivalent to the completion of the task.

As for how many people will be left at that time, it is uncertain.

It is also possible to be permanently trapped in the Golden and Silver Village.

On the first day, they came to Jinyin Village, but they were in a hurry and did not make much progress.

But there are a lot of things that happened today.

As soon as the zero point crosses, the team's exploration value naturally jumps slightly, and is refreshed to-

8%。

This value made some players raise an eyebrow slightly.

Too little.

The anomalies of the Lao Li family they discovered, the source of the corpse pattern, and even Yuan Yuxue got into a lot of trouble because of this, but in the end, it was only 8% of the progress.

There is also a lot of information that they haven't explored - it can basically be stamped that the players are in a state of complete ignorance of this dungeon.

If we continue at this pace, there are some dangers.

After all, it's the middle of the night, and even if you're anxious, there's nothing the players can do.

There was the sound of a body turning between the beds. Someone put his hand under his head, looked at the ceiling of the black hole, and sighed silently.

…… And there is that inner ghost that has not been caught.

They closed their eyes with little peace of mind, calculating what they would do tomorrow.

The night was still calm.

Day 3. It's still early for the players to get up.

The fat man and the aunt he hired had already prepared today's breakfast, steamed a basket full of meat and vegetable steamed buns, and served everyone an egg and a glass of milk.

Many of the players were not used to the smell of freshly boiled and sterilized milk, so they didn't touch it.

Yuan Yuxue still drank cleanly. There was a little light milk stain on his lips, which he pursed off slightly.

He continued to knock on the hard-boiled eggs that had been distributed to everyone, and patiently began to peel the shells.

Yuan Yuxue's hands are very nimble, and he is also very good at doing some very delicate mechanical operations, which can be seen from the time he used to repair those precision instruments.

It's not a specialty, it's purely an innate talent.

But with such a flexible hand, it seems that he has no strength in cooking.

Even if it is a very simple thing like peeling an egg, you can see Yuan Yuxue peeling the egg shell mottled.

Either a piece of egg shell has a lot of egg whites stuck together, or there are still some fine shells left. In short, the whole boiled egg was peeled off, and the egg white, which was originally smooth and soft, was pitted at this time, and some of it could not be seen.

The suit sat opposite Yuan Yuxue, and knocked a hard-boiled egg for a long time.

He was quite skillful in doing this kind of thing, and at once he found the location of the "empty room" on the top of the egg, and in a few clicks he peeled off the shell of the egg in a circle, as if he were peeling an apple.

In fact, this is not something to be proud of, but the suit doesn't know why he always looked at Yuan Xuxue, and after peeling it, he deliberately put the boiled egg on the dishes, and then looked at Yuan Xuxue slightly with a very meaningless gaze.

Seeing that Yuan Yuxue didn't look at himself, he changed to a sitting posture again.

Then he seemed to be very impatient, and when he wanted to raise his hand and help Yuan Yuxue peel the egg that had been entangled with him for a long time, he suddenly paused.

Yuan Yuxue didn't notice the subtle movement of the suit wanting to raise his hand, at this time, he had already finished peeling the boiled egg with great difficulty, divided it into several mouthfuls quite regularly, bit by bit and very evenly bitten off the egg white and egg yolk, and then drank the last bit of milk.

Until the end of this breakfast, the suit didn't say anything more.

After the players had already eaten breakfast, the fat man came over and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and left, only to see the fingers of the suit slightly tapping on the table.

"Something." His face was really not good-looking, a little embarrassed, and he tilted his head slightly as if he was distressed, "There is something wrong with my hand." ”

"Left hand, can't lift it. Slight sensation, but no normal limb mobility. After saying this, the suit was left to speak very calmly.

It seems that today is his turn.

Although the suit usually looks unapproachable, at this time, other players can't help but cast a little sympathetic glance at him.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the punishment for "assimilation" seems to be getting heavier and heavier.

Yuan Yuxue's aphasia will not be affected in most cases.

Adao couldn't see, but the vision in the other eye was still intact.

But one hand of the suit can't be used, and it's greatly weakened in the dungeon.

For a while, the atmosphere seemed to freeze a little.

What is especially unknown to them is...... What is the punishment for the next player after being "assimilated"?

If each person's body has a certain defect, they will only have a total of seven players. At the end of the seventh day, will there be other defects in each person's body?

At that point, the task becomes a little trickier, and the survival rate is greatly affected.

This task is obviously more difficult the later you go.

The extent of their investigation has only progressed to 8%.

It seems that more progress is going to be made today, no matter what—

In the middle of a short discussion, they have divided the tasks for the day.

Xiao Qi went to Lao Li's house again, and established some new contacts with Lao Li's neighbors and villagers as soon as possible, and it was best to find out when they buried Lao Li's daughter...... Of course, it doesn't have to be buried, at least to know when the name is used.

Xiao Qi asked for this task on his own - the talent's debuff time has passed, and the passive skill is back in effect. It was up to her to talk to those villagers, of course, she was the most suitable candidate.

As for Yuan Yuxue, he originally wanted to carry out this task as well.
