This dog liar is here again!
In the darkness, only the flashlight in Kong Shixing's hand lit a faint light. The beam of light swayed slightly with his steps and was weakly engulfed by the darkness ahead.
Kong Shixing looked at Su Cheng with concern, and asked in a low voice, "Is your survival time long enough? If not, I can transfer some to you first."
Su Cheng raised his head and waved his hand, feeling flattered: "Enough, it's enough…"
When working with Wen Jianyan earlier, he completed the main task by mistake, coupled with the sudden increase in traffic in the live broadcast room for unknown reasons made his current point reserve quite ample.
"That's good."
Kong Shixing nodded: "Since that's the case, then everything will be as we just planned."
Thinking of the other party's proposal just now, Su Cheng froze, and the expression on his face involuntarily stiffened.
He turned his head subconsciously and cast a glance behind him.
In the darkness, the tall and straight figure of the young man could be vaguely seen. The distance was too far to see the expression on the other party's face clearly, but even so, the other party's upright and indifferent face was still clearly outlined in his mind.
The help along the way, the rescue at a critical moment, and the forbearance and sadness of the other party when he mentioned his sister…
All these pictures surged in his mind.
Su Cheng pursed his lips, an indescribable sense of guilt welling up in his heart.
Kong Shixing noticed his strangeness and frowned:
"What's wrong? Go for it."
Su Cheng was silent for a few seconds, then turned and walked toward Wen Jianyan at the end.
The young man seemed to have noticed the footsteps coming toward him. He raised his eyes and looked toward Su Cheng. The swaying light and shadow swept across the clear and handsome features, and the light fell directly into those clear and deep eyes.
There was an almost intimidating brightness and magnanimity in his eyes, which made Su Cheng, who was already feeling guilty, hardly dare to look at him:
"It's over?"
Wen Jianyan's tone was clear, and the texture was slightly cold, with a little subtle concern.
He paused, then added the second half of the sentence:
"Is your classmate alright?"
"..."
Su Cheng made a low "hmm" and turned his eyes away.
Wen Jianyan didn't seem to notice, there was a trace of worry between his brows, and he continued on his own: "You are still students after all. It must be difficult to completely calm down when faced with such a thing. But you don't have to worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let anything dangerous happen to you."
Su Cheng: "..."
It's over. He was even more ashamed now.
In the live broadcast room No. 789326qwk.
[Hahahahahaha, he's starting!]
[Woohoo, Wife looks really attractive when he deceives people (50 rewards points 50)]
[D@mn, if I hadn't known the true face of this guy, I felt like I would have been deceived too.]
[Yes, I can feel my resolve wavering through the screen.]
[…What should I do? My morality is condemning this dog liar, but I can't help but look more and more. (50 reward points)]
[Upstairs +1 (50 reward points)]
Looking at the other party's tangled expression, a trace of smile crossed Wen Jianyan's lips.
He brought up the topic very considerately:
"By the way, do you have something to ask me?"
Su Cheng: "…hmm, um."
He stammered and asked: "Just, that is, when coming back from the teaching building before, we were in a hurry to escape, and I didn't have time to ask what you found on the fourth floor of the teaching building just now. What really happened at that time, can you, can you tell me?"
Wen Jianyan sighed regretfully in his heart.
These words are too blunt and direct. There is no sense of art at all.
However, after all, the other party has no experience in this area, so he can't force it, right?
Su Cheng raised his eyes a little nervously and looked at Wen Jianyan.
"Of course."
He saw that the young man in front of him didn't seem suspicious, and nodded frankly.
Immediately afterward, he briefly summarised what he saw after opening the cabinet.
The more Su Cheng listened, the more frightened he became. Although he had smelled a thick, rancid, bloody smell before, he could not see what was in the locker. He didn't expect… there would be such… evil things inside.
Su Cheng hesitated for a moment, then asked, "So, are the things in that cabinet your sister's?"
"No, they aren't."
Wen Jianyan shook his head and said firmly, "These things belong to the one who harmed my sister. "
All this was verified after he returned to the dormitory building.
The female student in the dormitory who gave him the key at the beginning was not Xu Yuan, but the one who forcibly exchanged identities with Xu Yuan and took away Xu Yuan's "face". So the key to the cabinet actually belonged to her, not Xu Yuan.
However, for some unknown reason, she did not seem to have succeeded.
However, Xu Yuan still lost her identity and face because of this, and became that faceless ghost, wandering endlessly in the dormitory building, instinctively looking for what she had lost—
A face.
These are Wen Jianyan's inferences based on known clues.
Su Cheng was stunned, and before he could ask anything, he heard the other party throw a heavy sentence to him without warning:
"Also, this matter may be related to why this school has become like this."
Su Cheng's eyes widened, dazed by the other party's sudden conclusion:
"What—?"
"Remember the notebook I found in that cabinet?"
Wen Jianyan took out a thin notebook from his pocket and swiped it lightly in front of the other party's eyes: "At that time, I simply flipped through and found that there are many incredible things written in it, which almost completely subvert my previous understanding. It even contains… The source of the alienation of the whole school."
Su Cheng held his breath subconsciously: "What?"
"A method."
Wen Jianyan narrowed his eyes and said in a succinct manner: "To be precise, it is a ritual."
Su Cheng has an ominous premonition in his heart: "Ritual? Is it for summoning something?"
"That's right."
Wen Jianyan glanced at him approvingly, and continued:
"A mirror."
Su Cheng was stunned: "Mirror?"
"Yes, a mirror that can fulfil all of the people's wishes."
As a fraudster, Wen Jianyan always pays attention to details subconsciously.
And the female student whose head was twisted 180° in the dormitory was wearing an old-fashioned school uniform, at least twenty years old, even earlier than the conversation in the hidden line.
Coupled with the contents recorded in the notebook, he was basically certain that the Xu Yuan incident was the beginning of the alienation of the entire school, and that Xiao Jie's transaction should have happened long after that.
Perhaps that was why the hidden item related to this was "legendary".
——However, Wen Jianyan wasn't going to tell all this information together.
The audience watching the live broadcast was also shocked.
[So the main story of this instance is actually like this!]
[So the anchor is lying or not? I can't tell…]
[It should be made up? Isn't his unlocking rate only 71%? And he also didn't get the legendary item yet. How can it be possible to already dig up the entire main line?]
[As a viewer who has seen the instance of Decai Middle School more than once, I can responsibly say that the conclusion that the anchor has come to now… is very likely to be true.]
[Yes, I've also seen it a few times. Although those anchors basically follow the secondary lines, there are many details in it that are consistent with the anchor's conclusions.]
[This is actually in line with the mirror in 408. I think the anchor isn't deceiving this time.]
[Then I can't understand it. If this is the truth, why did the anchor say it?]
[I don't understand either. The anchor should know that the other side is going to deal with him, right? Is it really okay to say the truth that you have summed up like this?]
Su Cheng was shocked and speechless.
The young man in front of him continued to speak on his own: "Besides, there is one more crucial thing written in that notebook."
Su Cheng asked in a trance: "Oh… what is it?"
"How to destroy the mirror."
Wen Jianyan stared at the other party with a serious expression, and lightly dropped a bomb that was no less powerful than the previous one.
?!
Su Cheng's eyes widened. His mouth opened subconsciously, the broken words were struck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
After a few seconds, he finally found his voice and asked in disbelief:
"You, you mean, you know…how to end this?"
No, I don't know at all.
But it didn't affect his nonsense.
Wen Jianyan nodded without changing his face.
"Although I have always refused to admit it, my sister…"
He pursed his lips, and a well-covered gloom flashed between his eyebrows: "Should be, should be dead by now ."
The young man's fingers hanging by his side slowly tightened, the back of his white hand showed distinct veins due to the force, and a little scarlet blood smeared the bandages.
"My sister was a very kind child."
He raised his eyes, which were as bright as stars, with unquestionable firmness:
"I can't let more victims appear, even for her sake. I will end it all."
Su Cheng looked back at him and fell silent.
After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and said:
"Xu Wen, you are a very good brother. Xu Yuan… will definitely be glad."
Since Wen Jianyan, who was immersed in the role, had been walking slowly at the end from the beginning, he didn't notice that "Cheng Huaquan", who was walking at the end with his head down all the time, paused slightly, slowly raised his head, and looked in this direction.
His face was even paler than before. The junction of his neck and cheeks was slightly wrinkled, and a pair of dark and bottomless eyes looked in this direction without emotion. The whole face seemed vain and stiff, like between humans and non-humans, giving people a creepy and eerie feeling.
In the barrage, some viewers suddenly recognized the person in front of them.
[Wait…isn't this the one with the highest initial survival time?]
[Hahahahaha sorry, I remembered the 20-minute initial duration of the host again, and I died of laughter, really unlucky.]
[No no no, that's not what I'm talking about! I mean, that anchor had already died as early as ten o'clock in the evening! I saw it with my own eyes!]
[?]
[???]
[?????]
[Yes, speaking of this, I do have an impression. I still saw the liar's room number in his live broadcast room. His live broadcast room has been disconnected anyway, definitely dead.]
[How did he die?]
[He was killed by the most difficult ghost in this instance.]
[…Xu Yuan?]
[Crap, yes, according to the anchor's reasoning, that ghost is Xu Yuan!]
[So, now this person is Xu Yuan in the anchor's skin???]
[And then the anchor said he was her brother in front of her?]
[Then, for this liar anchor who appeared out of thin air and claimed to be her brother, what do you think, Xu Yuan herself would think?]
After coming to this conclusion, the barrage that was in full swing was suddenly quiet for a moment.
"..."
[D@mn, he is really unlucky.]
[Hahahahahaha rollover is scheduled in advance.]
[Hahahahahaha lol, is this the strength of a well-known lucky E-level anchor?]
***
After listening to the information brought back by Su Cheng, Kong Shixing was stunned.
He held his breath subconsciously, barely able to believe his ears.
…it's amazing, it's really amazing.
This was definitely not an ordinary clue, and it couldn't be an ordinary prop!
If…
If what the NPC said was true, after following this process to complete the main line, it would not only unlock a 100% exploration degree, but he might even get a platinum achievement!
After the Platinum achievement was given, the entire instance would be closed.
As the anchor who received this honor, he would be an epic figure with a perfect clearance record, and his name would be listed in the Hall of Fame forever.
Under the temptation of such big interests, the depths of Kong Shixing's eyes radiated an exciting light, and his entire body trembled slightly.
He looked at Su Cheng: "That notebook… have you got it?"
Su Cheng lowered his eyes and shook his head.
Indecisive trash.
Kong Shixing's eyes flickered with a trace of hostility, but after thinking about the use value of the other party, he forced the words that were about to be blurted out back into his throat.
He took a deep breath and said in his calm voice, "It's fine, let me take over."
Kong Shixing turned around and walked towards Wen Jianyan at the end.
And Wen Jianyan was waiting for him.
Looking at the senior anchor walking toward him, he raised his brows and asked knowingly, "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"
Kong Shixing pressed the excitement: "Brother XiaoWen, I heard… You know how to end all of this, and get the whole school back to its original state?"
Wen Jianyan raised his lower lip silently.
Greed was always a human being's inherent weakness.
When a person asks for something, that was the time when the mind was most likely to be carried away.
The young man was stunned for a moment, turned his eyes away disguisedly, and said in a blunt tone: "This is not something you students should be concerned about."
Before Kong Shixing could speak, Wen Jianyan took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"This school is too dangerous now, you should leave as soon as possible. I have actually contacted my superiors just now, they should be here soon. When we leave this floor, I will escort you out of the school. You don't have to worry about anything else, just leave it to me."
Apply a little appropriate pressure.
Create a sense of urgency.
Kong Shixing was a little anxious.
He stepped forward and shortened the distance between Wen Jianyan and himself:
"After all this, do you really think reinforcements will come? Even if your call does go out, do you think they will come in?"
"..."
Wen Jianyan's eyes flashed and he fell silent.
"If you really want to protect us, let us help you solve this matter together."
Kong Shixing stepped forward again: "Only in this way can we really rescue more people, okay?"
In the live broadcast room:
[Wait, these familiar words…!]
[The liar is coming again!]
Wen Jianyan hesitated for a few seconds before finally saying:
"It's not that I don't want this to end, it's just…"
Seeing the softening of the other party's attitude, Kong Shixing was faintly excited, and he asked, "Just what?"
The corridor fell into a dead silence.
After a long time, the young man sighed lightly and said with some difficulty:
"…The conditions are too harsh."
"What conditions?" Kong Shixing asked impatiently.
"We need three things to complete the ceremony."
Wen Jianyan took out a small red cloth bag from his pocket.
He nimbly opened the thread tied at the mouth of the bag, revealing a molar and the half-cut hair lying in it: "I have got one of them, but I have no clue about the other two."
"This, this is… ?"
At that moment, the system prompt sounded in Kong Shixing's ears, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
—Difficult level hidden item?!
The young man smiled bitterly: "I don't even know what it is."
Kong Shixing's eyes began to glow green.
He knows what it is!
Unexpectedly, something that he couldn't find since he entered the instance was actually on this NPC from the beginning!
This NPC is full of treasures!
Wen Jianyan shook the red cloth bag in his hand in front of Kong Shixing: "I got this one from the duty room. The process of getting it was very difficult, and I paid a great price for it."
Kong Shixing suddenly realized.
It turned out that this was why the old witch kept chasing this NPC.
"I only know the location of these three things, but I don't know what exactly they are."
Wen Jianyan took out the notebook from his pocket. The moment he saw the notebook, Kong Shixing's eyes lit up, and his gaze glued to the notebook greedily and moved with it.
The young man opened the notebook, took out a piece of paper in the middle with one hand, and handed the notebook to Kong Shixing with the other hand:
"Hold it for me."
Kong Shixing was stunned and subconsciously took the notebook from the other party's hand.
He raised his eyes, and his exploratory gaze fell on the piece of paper in Wen Jianyan's hand.
It was so dark at night that even the five fingers could not be seen in the corridor. Kong Shixing's flashlight was now in Su Cheng's hand, but the faint light could not penetrate such thick darkness.
The young man in front of him unfolded the paper and frowned. His eyes were solemn and serious.
After a long time, he raised his head: "There are two remaining pieces, one is on the fourth floor, and the other…"
Wen Jianyan frowned, sighed, and showed Kong Shixing the missing corner of the piece of paper: "I only know that it is in this dormitory, but I don't know the exact location."
Kong Shixing shifted his gaze from the cloth bag in his hand to the paper, swallowed his saliva subconsciously, and took a long time to forcibly withdraw his gaze:
"The other one, maybe I know what it is."
Wen Jianyan looked stunned: "…What did you say?"
Kong Shixing took out an identical little red cloth bag from his pocket, and inside the cloth bag lay the small half-truncated finger. The section is neat and bright red as if it had just been cut from the hand, and it looks particularly dazzling in the dim light.
"This…this is…"
Wen Jianyan's eyes widened, he stepped forward abruptly, and naturally took the cloth bag from Kong Shixing.
At the moment when the thing was in his hand, the system's prompt sounded:
[Congratulations to the anchor for obtaining the hidden item (normal) in the instance!]
[Collection level ⅔]
Hearing the prompt in his ear, Wen Jianyan's expression didn't change in the slightest.
He raised his eyes in amazement, his voice carrying a little undisguised excitement: "Since this is the case, we only need the last one now! Maybe… Maybe we can really succeed!"
At this moment, a dull clock's striking sound came from downstairs.
Deng!——
The afterglow of the bell trembled slightly in the air.
It was one o'clock in the morning.
At that moment, the few people on the fourth floor shivered at the same time.
The gloomy and cold feeling climbed up their spine like a snake, the temperature around them dropped instantly, and a strange sense of crisis struck, making them feel a chill in their hearts.
"Creak——"
The creaking sound of the door opening came from the depths of the corridor, breaking the silence without warning.
Everyone was startled and instinctively looked in the direction where the voice came from.
In the illumination of the flickering and shaking light of the flashlight, the distant scene could be faintly seen.
At the end of the corridor, a door was opened. It was so dark inside that no light could penetrate it, like a bottomless abyss.
It seemed to be waiting for something.
Thinking of his previous experience in 408, Wen Jianyan couldn't help but feel a chill.
However, as a professional fraudster, no matter how intense his mental activity was, there was no clue on his face.
"The third thing should be in there."
Wen Jianyan was the first to break the silence and lied without changing his face.
"…Well." Kong Shixing recovered, and the expression on his face became solemn.
"You guys wait for me at the door. I'll go ahead to explore the way first. I should be back soon."
Wen Jianyan took a deep breath and took a step forward.
At this time, he seemed to have thought of something, and turned to look at Kong Shixing behind him: "By the way, I'll give this back to you."
Wen Jianyan re-tied the cloth bag, took back his notebook with one hand and put the cloth bag with the other hand.
Handing it back to Kong Shixing, he immediately took out the cloth bag containing the molars and hair from his pocket, and pressed it into the other's palm:
"And this."
Kong Shixing was stunned: "This is …?"
Before he could finish the rest of his words, the young man solemnly put the folded paper into his hand.
"..."
Kong Shixing's eyes widened.
Wen Jianyan: "It's extremely unsafe to put these things on me. If I can't come back, you will find other ways. In any case, you must stop the tragedy. I don't want to see more people injured.
Su Cheng couldn't help taking a step forward: "Wait——"
Wen Jian stopped the other party with a stern face: "Don't follow."
Su Cheng was frightened by the other party's sudden stern look and subconsciously stopped his steps.
Wen Jianyan frowned and said:
"Although nothing happened the first time you entered, no one knows if it will be the same this time. For your own safety, don't follow, understand?"
Su Cheng was stunned and subconsciously stopped his pace.
Wen Jianyan turned to look at Kong Shixing: "There are specific methods for performing the ritual on paper. I shouldn't need to teach you how to do it, right?"
He gave orders in a natural manner, as if he was the master of the entire situation, and born with the absolute right to speak.
Kong Shixing nodded involuntarily.
In the light beam that flickered slightly from the flashlight, the young man's eyebrows and eyes were handsome, his face was calm, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised as if he had already understood the predetermined ending.
"Then… the next thing, I'll leave it to you."
This sentence seemed like the last words.
After speaking, Wen Jianyan turned around and walked toward the darkness without looking back.
Under the light of the flashlight, his back looked extraordinarily tall, and in the darkness and chaos, it seemed to be glowing. The sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
In the end, the tall and slender back of the young man was swallowed by the darkness.
Kong Shixing was also surprised by this selfless NPC.
He stared at the depths of the dark corridor not far away, and it took him a long time to return back to his senses.
However, as a senior anchor, he quickly regained his form.
In any case, the current situation was far beyond Kong Shixing's expectations, which could be regarded as a pleasant surprise.
Difficult level hidden item, the way to get the platinum achievement, everything he wanted was already in his hands, and it took no effort to get it. Not to mention that there was still a stupid NPC taking the initiative to be cannon fodder to find the way for them. Whether he could get out of 408 alive or not, there was no loss for them.
It was so perfect that it almost made him flutter.
"You did a great job."
Kong Shixing had an uncontrollable happy smile on his face, he was in a good mood.
He raised his hand and patted the depressed Su Cheng's shoulder: "If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid we wouldn't have succeeded——"
However, before Kong Shixing could finish speaking, he saw Su Cheng dodging to the side, avoiding his actions.
"…This is not right."
Su Cheng pursed his lips and said in a trance.
Kong Shixing: "…What?"
Su Cheng: "I said, this is not right."
Kong Shixing's expression darkened: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
The other anchor also laughed.
"All of you newcomers are like this, overflowing with compassion, unable to figure out anything. That's an NPC, understand? No matter how smart he is, he is just an NPC." Kong Shixing said impatiently.
Su Cheng: "But…"
Kong Shixing's expression slowly cooled down, and he looked tired: "It's really boring. I thought you were a person that can be made, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid and cowardly."
He sneered coldly: "Since that's the case, don't waste my time."
In fact, Kong Shixing didn't plan to let this stupid newcomer join his team from the beginning. What to act together, what to introduce to the guild after the instance was over, all of those were just his methods to make the other party obedient.
He wasn't going to bring this kind of cowardly newcomer into his guild.
The previous trust and closeness were just to make this newcomer obediently talk to the NPC.
Now that the NPC was gone and the items were in hand, this newcomer has no use value.
What's more, looking at his current attitude, if that NPC really came out alive, it would be a bad thing for him to stay here.
It was time for him to go too.
Kong Shixing raised his hand with a malicious smile on his lips:
"I'll count to three, disappeared from here before that."
Su Cheng watched him silently, not seeming to be ready to argue or plead.
After a few seconds, he took one last deep look at the open door at the end of the corridor, turned around, and walked in the opposite direction.
Kong Shixing raised his eyebrows.
He didn't expect this newcomer to be quite sensible.
He thought that in such a crisis-ridden situation, he would be humble, even apologizing and begging him not to let him act alone.
It was a pity, but it saved him a lot of trouble.
Kong Shixing looked down at the prop in his hand.
Feeling the heavy weight, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes — what he gained in this instance was far beyond imagination. Countless surprises hit his head one after another, making him almost dizzy.
If everything goes smoothly, he would not only become the first C-level anchor in the history of the live broadcast room to achieve a platinum achievement but also jump to the B-level with this!
His status in the guild would definitely improve a lot!
Kong Shixing took a deep breath and suppressed the trembling in his heart.
At this time, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly opened the live broadcast interface.
He didn't know when it started, but the number of people online has exceeded 10,000, and has reached the highest peak since he entered in this instance!
Looking at the live broadcast data that was still rising, Kong Shixing's eyes were hot, and he couldn't help but raise a complacent smile.
Under the impact of victory and joy, he did not notice that there were only a few barrages floating on the screen, and most of the content had nothing to do with the current situation and did not match such a huge number of online viewers.
"I want to share such a crucial moment with everyone."
Kong Shixing said slowly, unable to hide the excitement in his voice.
However, what surprised him was that after he said these words, the barrage actually became less, and he did not receive any rewards… It was completely different from before.
Did the audience not understand it yet?
Kong Shixing cleared his throat and explained:
"Everyone who has been in my live broadcast room from the beginning also knows that I only got the normal-level hidden item before, but now, I have also got the difficult-level hidden item—"
He spoke while opening the red cloth bag, and unfolding it in front of the screen.
The red cloth spread out, and something shiny silver rolled out of it. It fell on the ground with a "ding", rolled, and slowly stopped in front of Kong Shixing's feet——
A coin.
"..."
Kong Shixing froze in place, almost unable to believe his eyes.
What?
How?
The other anchor on the side noticed his abnormality and came forward: "Brother Kong, what's wrong?"
Kong Shixing didn't answer, his face showed a look of uncertainty.
His breathing was a little unsteady, and he hurriedly untied another cloth bag — this time, a well-wrapped candy was revealed inside. The candy wrapper was shiny, shimmering in the dark, looking particularly absurd at the moment.
"..."
Kong Shixing's face turned pale.
The smug look on his face seemed to be wiped clean in an instant.
Impossible.
Impossible Impossible Impossible!
His face was twisted, almost looking sinister, his fingers trembled slightly under the extreme emotional fluctuations, and he violently ripped apart the note left by the NPC.
The anchor who stepped forward was taken aback by the other party, and looked at Kong Shixing with a frightened expression on his face:
"What happened? Brother Kong, don't scare me…"
However, Kong Shixing couldn't hear anything at the moment.
His pupils tightened, his teeth clenched, and he stared at the note in his hand. His fingers clenched tightly, making a rubbing sound as he squeezed the paper——
The handwriting on the note was sloppy and slightly crooked.
[Onion, cabbage, garlic, pork, chili; remember to buy toothpaste and washing powder]
***
At the entrance of the stairs on the third floor.
The air fluctuated slightly for a moment, and the slender figure of the young man appeared out of thin air.
[Prop: Concealment Robe has expired]
The system's flat prompt sounded in his ears.
Wen Jianyan stretched his waist. The integrity and passion he had shown before had long since disappeared.
His eyes were half-closed, his long eyelashes drooping down, covering the harmless light-colored eyeballs, and the corners of his lips were slightly curved, not sharp, but rather frivolous and cynical.
Good.
It went well.
Ever since the anchor had spoken about the operation mechanism of the fourth floor, Wen Jianyan began to plan everything.
Even when talking to Su Cheng, he was still methodically calculating the passage of time in his mind.
During the whole process, Wen Jianyan skillfully grasped the progress of the conversation, and controlled the speed of the entire conversation, just for the last moment——
One o'clock in the morning.
Just when the bell rang and attracted all the attention, Wen Jianyan skillfully replaced the items in the red cloth with the things in his pocket.
He has long been familiar with this trick of stealing the beams and changing the pillars. Even with his eyes closed, he can operate it skillfully, and the little injury on his hand can't affect it at all.
And the last step was the most crucial.
As a fraudster, being able to deceive was secondary, and being able to get out after deception was the key.
Wen Jianyan was not ready to go back to 408 from the beginning.
That room was too dangerous. The mirror was a trivial matter, but the phantom in the mirror gave him too much threat. Wen Jianyan really didn't want to see him again.
No matter what clues there are, to Wen Jianyan, it is not as important as his life.
Risking your life to go to the most dangerous places just to get more points, more props, and unlock more exploration?
It's laughable.
Wen Jianyan wouldn't do such a loss-making business.
So, he stopped Su Cheng — because he had a flashlight in his hand.
The light source was shaken due to the unsteady mood of the holder, and could not completely illuminate the end of the corridor. With the help of this blind spot, Wen Jianyan deliberately created clear footsteps that gradually drifted away.
However, before stepping into 408, he activated the prop he had purchased in the system store: The Concealment Robe.
There should be no adulteration when the anchor gave the information.
Wen Jianyan could be regarded as an expert in this regard, and he could tell at a glance whether the other party was lying.
If that's the case, he should have been able to leave at twelve o'clock sharp, but he had to go in 408 because the ghost hit the wall.[1]
If the introduction of the system store was not wrong, then his breath should be able to disappear completely. Even if the mirror wanted to repeat the same trick, it couldn't break the rules of going downstairs and using ghosts to hit the wall to drag him to the fourth floor.
Apparently, this trick worked.
When everyone thought that Wen Jianyan had entered 408, he himself was using the stealth effect brought by the prop to pass over everyone silently and rushed downstairs at the fastest speed.
—A perfect run away.
The corners of the young man's lips twitched slightly. He threw up and caught the tricked item, whistling in a good mood, looking a bit innocent and naughty that did not match his age.
The topic in the live broadcast room of 789326qwk unknowingly shifted.
The content on the screen changed from "Anchor is nb!" to "My wife is so beautiful!"
[Dog liar, hurry up and restrain your charm that you have nowhere to release! Stop cheating money from me! (100 reward points)]
Wen Jianyan walked forward.
"Zzzzz…"
At this moment, the light above his head flickered twice, making a harsh electric sound.
He hesitated slightly and stopped subconsciously.
Wen Jianyan looked around cautiously.
There was no one in the corridor, no footsteps, no familiar humming — the anchor didn't catch up, and the old witch wasn't around.
There was a dead silence in his ears, only the sound of his own even breathing could be heard.
But for some unknown reason, Wen Jianyan just felt a chill creep up his back.
"Zzzzz…"
The lights flickered on and off, brightened and dimmed as if some kind of ominous sign.
The light dimmed, and when it turned on again, a second person suddenly appeared in the corridor that was empty just now!
The man bowed his head and stood straight under the light.
Wen Jianyan couldn't see his face clearly, but… He clearly remembered the clothes the other party was wearing now.
This is… the anchor who follows Kong Shixing?
If it was really the anchor who chased after him, even if he was caught, Wen Jianyan was not too worried. It was not a big deal.
However, the atmosphere around this man was not quite right.
He didn't know why, from the first time he saw this person, Wen Jianyan felt a little creepy.
"Cheng Huaquan" raised his head slowly, revealing a pale face.
The skin on his face was wrinkled and his facial features were displaced, looking blurred and distorted, especially terrifying in the dim light.
He smiled.
Zzzzz…
The lights flickered.
The next second, the human face disappeared.
There was only a wax-like mask left on the head. The facial features were simple. The eyes were dark and strange, and the curvature of the corners of the mouth continued to rise, getting bigger and bigger, forming a terrible and frightening smiling face.
It was the ghost who looked at him from under the bed and chased him down for three floors.
She was also the "sister" in Wen Jianyan's mouth.
And the owner of that face in his pocket.
Wen Jianyan: "..."
"You said your name is Xu Wen."
Xu Yuan's head turned, her neck made a crunching sound, and the smile on the corner of her mouth widened. Her eyes stared at the young man in front of her, and a dark malice was released from her body:
"Is it my brother?"
Wen Jianyan: "..."
Help.
