Chapter 443 Stolen Treasure 2

[You don’t need to be so excited, right? It’s Xin Shen’s right to download the dungeon whenever he wants. Some players haven’t downloaded the dungeon for several years and nothing has happened. Didn’t Xin Shen not show up for half a month? 】

[The Shentian Guild called his name alone, shouldn’t he show up? 】

[If the dog barks at you, why do you have to turn around and bark at the dog again? Why does the Shentian Guild name God Xin and God Xin insists on coming out? Don’t we, God Xin, have no face? 】

[You can’t say that. If Bai Lixin hadn’t provoked the Shentian Guild, so many people wouldn’t have died. 】

[Hey, I got really angry right away. When a perverted murderer kills someone, the victims don’t blame the perverted murderer or seek revenge from the perverted murderer. Instead, they bark at their fellow victims.

, What kind of fallacy is this? Is it because our Xin Shen is too kind? Why don’t you scold the people of the Shentian Guild? Why? Are you afraid of being retaliated? You are a coward and a coward.]

News of the post spread quickly.

After reading for a while, Bai Lixin closed the forum and gently stretched her body to rest on the sofa.

In my mind, the escape system softly said: [Lord Bailixin, do you still remember what you asked me to go to the garbage recycling station to investigate? 】

Bai Lixin said "Hmm" and looked out the window at the garden soaked in the beautiful moonlight. "Remember, I asked you to help me find information about "Lin Xiao", right? Did you find it?"

Escape system: [I searched through all the recycle bin information and only found one clue about Lin Xiao. ]

[He once appeared in an extremely cold dungeon.]

【Gender male, age around thirty years old.】

[Unknown identity, unknown attributes, unknown source.]

Bailixin paused for a moment: [What do you mean by unknown identity, unknown attributes, and unknown origin?]

Escape system: [Meaning, I don’t know where he comes from, I don’t know if he is a player, I don’t know his occupation and other information.]

The slender middle finger was bent into the shape of a bow, and he tapped the armrest unconsciously. The young man's gaze fell out of the window, but the gaze in his eyes gradually became deep and distant, and he fell into deep thought, "Okay, thank you Tongmei, thank you for your hard work."

Escape system:【Sorry, I can't help much.】

"clatter"

"clatter"

"clatter"

The sound of rhythmic knocking on wooden objects came from the hall, and Bai Lixin said slowly: [What kind of copy is that extreme cold copy? 】

Escape system: [It is a team dungeon that is half archeology and half exploration. That dungeon is a very old dungeon and has been closed for a long time.]

The rhythmic tapping sound paused: [What is the reason for the closure?]

Escape system: [A monster appeared in that dungeon. It is not a fully automatic brain system like ours. Each dungeon has a task leader. Legend has it that the task leader who was supposed to be safe and sound was almost completely destroyed by the monster in that dungeon.

It was annihilated, and only a few survivors managed to escape. The mastermind judged this dungeon as an uncontrollable dungeon and banned it.】

Bai Lixin: [What about these survivors? Where are they now? 】

Escape system: [Left a long time ago. Although you players can stay young forever in the game lobby, the time here is also flowing bit by bit. If calculated according to your 24 hours a day, it is already

It happened a hundred years ago.]

[The so-called mission leaders are specially selected to select relatively outstanding players, because after this incident, the mastermind realized the fragility of the players. Once the leader is destroyed, it will affect the progress of the game, and then we created systems like ours that will not die. ]

Bai Lixin:【……】

When Tongmei talked about the Winter Expedition, he remembered a photo he had seen in the library.

That photo was posted in the history of the development of thriller games. It was a group photo of a group of people wearing thick down jackets standing in front of a house in the snowy mountains.

I just don't know if there is any connection between the two.

Lin Xiao claims to be an "orderer", but people in this game don't seem to know the existence of "orderers".

What is an orderer?

Listening to the meaningful conversations Lin Xiao had with him when he left, they should meet again in the future, right?

The third day, morning.

Bai Lixin organized his belongings and stared at the clock on the wall. When the hour hand stuck on the number "9" and the minute hand fell on the number "12", he decisively applied to enter the copy.

The moment the familiar system prompt sounded, a long-lost black vortex appeared in front of him.

The process of entering a dungeon always makes people feel uncomfortable, and Bai Lixin didn't want to adapt to this discomfort at all. After a brief stomach and head discomfort, the picture in front of him gradually changed from an endless black to a narrow room.

Room.

The room was dark, and the air was mixed with the smell of rust and blood. His body was damp and sticky, and his soaked clothes clung to his body, making him uncomfortable.

There was an obvious weight-bearing feeling on the wrists and ankles. Bailixin glanced at it with the corner of his eye and found that his current posture was very bad.

Metal chains were wrapped around his wrists and ankles, and he sat numbly on a cold black metal chair. There were many torture instruments hanging on the surrounding walls, and his clothes had changed from the clean white clothes and gray trousers before.

A tattered blue and gray prison uniform.

Besides him, there were two other people in the damp and cramped room.

There was a man standing in front of him. He was wearing a straight police uniform similar to that of a Western country, with a dark gold badge hanging on the black brim.

He was holding a black leather whip about five centimeters in diameter in his hand, looking down at himself from a high position.

Behind this man, close to the door, was a dark rectangular interrogation table. Behind the table was a man, also in uniform, looking at this side with the same expressionless expression.

Judging from the scene he knows so far, it should be an interrogation room, and he is the prisoner being interrogated.

Damn it.

Bai Lixin couldn't help but cursed in her heart.

[Ding!] The ice-cold electric sound programmed by the system sounded in the mind, [Welcome players to enter the [Stolen Treasure] instance. The level of this instance is an advanced instance, and the number of people in the instance is ten.

[This is a country with a strong cultural heritage. As a tourist, Mr.

The thing that makes you linger the most is a gemstone crown called "Kiss of the Sun". It was a ring worn by Queen Elizabeth of this country in the 16th century. It is a symbol of royal power and is known as the national treasure of this country.

.]

[However, this "Sun Kiss" gemstone crown, which is of great significance to this country, was stolen. 】

[The time of its disappearance was finally locked within a certain ten minutes. There were twenty tourists and staff members who appeared near Sun Kiss within these ten minutes, and you were one of them.] [To prove your innocence, please find

Uncover the real murderer who stole the "Kiss of the Sun".】

[The task duration of this copy is five days. If the real thief cannot be found after five days, you will be punished by this copy. 】

[Friendly reminder: For the sake of protecting the humanity of players, attacking players is prohibited in the dungeon. Violators will be punished by the system. Punishment method: beheading.]

[In addition, this dungeon is a mineable dungeon, and players will randomly trigger tasks while searching for the murderer. Once the task is triggered, players must accept and complete it, otherwise they will be punished by the system. Friendly reminder: the more wrong investigation directions,

The more additional tasks you will get, the excessive distraction of energy and attention will affect the progress of solving the case. Players must be careful during the search process.】

[The background explanation of the dungeon game has been completed, and the game will start after the countdown ends. I wish players a happy game. 】

【Countdown begins.】

【3,2,1,0, the copy game officially begins.】

As the system "Start" sounded, the originally stiff screen instantly pressed the start button.

A crisp sound of "pop" sounded in the room, and Bai Lixin felt a burning pain in her shoulder.

The man pulled the whip back and asked without any emotion: "Tell me, where did you hide the crown?"

Baili Xin raised her eyes and glanced at the man, and immediately received another whip from the man: "Damn thief, how dare you look directly at me like this? You haven't had enough of the whip, have you?"

The clock on the wall ticked, and Prissy lowered her eyelids slightly to cover her eyes, staring at the interrogator's shoes, frowning slightly.

To find the real thief, the first step is to get out of here.

Bai Lixin narrowed her eyes slightly as she recalled the words the interrogator just said.

The first sentence asks "Where did you hide the crown", but not "Are you a thief?"

Isn't this sentence too sure? It's as if he has been identified as the thief.

This was inconsistent with the information the system gave him. The system said that there were clearly twenty suspects.

"Why are you so sure that the thief is me?" Bai Lixin's voice was slightly panting. When he started to speak, he found that his voice was hard and hoarse, "I am just a tourist who loves history and cultural relics. Is this your country's hospitality?

?”

The interrogator was dismissive. His thick black eyes looked down at the embarrassed young man with disdain, as if looking at a dirty bed bug: "Eight people have already pointed out that you are suspicious. With so many people testifying here, you

Still want to quibble? Tell the truth and you won't be in such pain." Baili Xin's jawline tensed up.

Eight people identified him?

Where did these eight people come from?

This copy is for ten people, and there are nine other people besides myself.

Could it be that the ones who identified him were the Shentian Guild and its affiliated players?

But doesn’t everyone start the game at the same time?

Is there something wrong with the identity you play?

Or did the people from the Shentian Guild use special methods to reach this dungeon earlier than themselves?

Priscilla: "Did you find the crown on me?"

The interrogator pulled hard on the chain, pulled the embarrassed young man up and forced him to look directly at him: "I'm just asking you because I didn't find it. Cunning thief, tell us quickly, where did you hide the crown?"

The cold metal chains dug into his skin through the wet clothes, making Bailixin feel very uncomfortable. He took two deep breaths secretly, raised his eyelids and looked directly into the other person's sharp gaze, "Where did you catch me?"

?”

The interrogator's brows suddenly frowned, and his features shrank with anger. "Now I am asking you questions, not you asking me questions. Find out your position, Mr. Thief."

Bai Lixin sneered: "If you focus on me again, the real thief will escape. You said eight people identified me at the same time. This alone is very strange, don't you think?"

"If you are really curious and interested in the cultural relics in the museum, everyone's attention should be focused on the cultural relics in front of you. Who will notice me?"

"But someone noticed that there was not one, but eight."

"How long did I stay in front of the cultural relic during the ten minutes when the surveillance disappeared? Were the people who identified me all there at the same time or appeared one after another? If they appeared one after another, had I already left when they appeared?

?If I leave, how will they notice my abnormality?"

"I don't think I made any strange noises in the museum, but how did these people notice me?"

"It's like they were specifically monitoring me, or they found me as a scapegoat among the twenty people."

"My life is worthless, but is your goal to find the thief? Your ultimate goal is to find the crown, right?"

"I'm not the real thief, I was just framed. Even if you kill me, I won't be able to take out the crown."

"Interrogating me is not as fruitful as interrogating those eight people. Maybe this was a gang war and the crown was stolen by those eight people."

"You are simply quibbling!" The interrogator angrily grabbed Prissin's thin collar, "If I didn't have to pry clues out of your mouth, I should have soldered your mouth shut with a soldering iron."

The interrogator's dark eyes stared at Baili Xin. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something. An intimate light rose up in his originally cold eyes. His eyes scanned Baili Xin's features bit by bit, and his voice became narrower.

, "Suddenly I realized that you look pretty good. Do you know that there are many cruel and terrible criminals imprisoned in this cell? They are all extremely evil people. If you are thrown into these cells, I really don't know what will happen.

.”

"Perhaps, your dirty body is still looking forward to such an encounter?"

Bailixin's eyes turned cold. The moment he looked back with deep cold eyes, the interrogator felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet. He instinctively let go of Bailixin and took two steps back.

"That's enough, Henry." The sound of paper turning was heard, and the police officer on the other side who had been silent said, "He is right, there are problems with the confessions of the other eight. Take him to the cell first, today's

The interrogation has come to an end for the time being."

The police officer named Henry was in shock. He glanced around the room in a panic before he regained his composure. He looked at Priscilla with caution: "Okay, he's lucky today."

The iron chain that had been tied to the wooden frame was loosened, and the thick metal chain made a clear "ding-dong-dang" sound when it fell to the ground. Officer Henry and another policeman detained Bai Bai on the left and right.

Li Xing walked through the dark and deep corridors and the metal gates layer by layer, and finally sent him to a simple and cold cell.

The cell was a double room with messy weeds covering the muddy floor.

There were two beds placed in the corners of the room, one on the left and the other on the right. A person was already lying on one of the beds. The person was facing the wall and his back was turned to him. He didn't know whether he was asleep or unwilling to pay attention to the outside world. The cell door

There was no response from the other party when I opened it.

The bed was covered with some dry weeds, and above the weeds was a worn-out rag that had been slept on by countless people and was so dirty that the original color could not be seen.

Baili Xin hesitated for two seconds, opened the rag, and sat directly on the hard bed.

When people sat on it, the bed made a fragile and joyous sound of "crunching", as if it would be cut into several pieces in the next second.

The first thing you see when you enter the dungeon is the interrogation room. The first second you open the dungeon, you get a whipping, and you actually have to sleep in a cell on the first night.

very nice.

He didn't know whether it was because the temperature here was already very low or because his body was soaked in water, but people like Bai Lixin who had strong resistance to cold also felt a chill that chilled their hearts.

The cell was filled with the smell of mold and decay. From time to time, patrolling police officers would pass by outside. The wails of prisoners could often be heard from around the walls, which provided little protection or protection from the cold.

There was a wall behind Bailixin, but he always felt that the wall was useless. The cold wind just rushed through the wall and got into his pores.

Because there were always police patrols, Bai Lixin did not take out the cold-warming clothes directly from his backpack. He just shrank his neck and straightened his back to prevent himself from touching the cold wall behind him.

Priscilla looked at the man on the bed next door.

From the time he came in until now, this man has maintained the same posture. He is wearing the same blue-gray striped prison uniform. The thin prison uniform does not play any role in avoiding the cold, but he seems to be indifferent to the cold around him.

He didn't notice it and just lay there quietly.

It's too quiet.

Baili Xin stood up from the bed suddenly, walked a few steps quickly and walked behind the man, holding his arm and turning him over.

The other person's body remained in the same position as before and was turned over stiffly. His face was already pale. The person's eyes were open and looking straight ahead. His body was curled up into a shrimp shape, and his palms were still tucked into his sleeves for warmth.

posture.

His whole body was stiff, and he didn't know how long he had been dead.

"Come here," Bai Lixin stood at the door and shouted to the patrolling police outside, "someone in my cell has frozen to death."

The patrolman numbly raised his eyelids and glanced at the bed inside, and said without saltiness: "Ah, what a pity. He can be released from prison tomorrow. He just needs to hold on for one more day."

As he spoke, he pushed open the cell door, skillfully carried the body on his shoulders and walked outside. When passing by Baili Xin, the patrolman grinned and showed a ring of white teeth towards Bai Lixin: "Don't worry, you won't

Lonely, we will find a new roommate for you immediately."

Bai Lixin: "."

Half an hour later, rustling footsteps were heard outside the door of Baili Xin's cell. After a while, there was the sound of the cell door being unlocked, and a figure walked in.

The patrolman's familiar voice sounded: "Go in, kid, you'll sleep here tonight."

As he said that, the man was pushed, he was pushed in with two steps, and the metal cell door was closed again.

Priscilla sat on the bed and looked up at the upright man at the door in the dim environment. The man looked at him with the same look.

After a moment, Bai Lixin blinked, "Lin Xiao?"

The iconic suit was replaced by a dirty prison uniform, and his meticulous hair became a little messy. Despite this, the man was still as cold and numb as ever, and he still looked like an emotionless robot.

Not long ago, he was talking to Lin Xiao with the escape system, but he didn't expect to meet again under such circumstances.

It’s really more embarrassing every time.

The expression on Lin Xiao's face did not change. He nodded slightly towards Bai Lixin and said hello politely: "We meet again, Bai Lixin."

Bai Lixin looked at Lin Xiao. Looking from his direction, Lin Xiao's somewhat wide prison uniform could not completely wrap him, so that his shoulders and collarbone were exposed to the air.

Some black marks appeared above the shoulders and disappeared above the collarbone. It was a hidden pattern, and Prisin could vaguely see several sharp beast claws.

But he knew that those were not the claws of some wild beast, but dragons carved on the skin.

Lin Xiao's back is engraved with a picture of a coffin being carried in Nine Dragons.

Lin Xiao is the "player" he met in the Deep Sea Laboratory copy. The reason why the word player is put in quotation marks is that his identity needs to be verified.

At that time, including Lin Xiao, there were a total of ten people participating in the dungeon. However, after leaving the dungeon, everyone except himself forgot about Lin Xiao's existence.

Lin Xiao calls himself the "Order" and is a copy of ten people. Everyone only remembers nine of them. Even Di Jia doesn't remember Lin Xiao's existence.

When he was in the mermaid laboratory copy, he felt that Lin Xiao was full of secrets, his skin was cold, and those crazy sewer monsters liked to chase living creatures, but they never appeared behind him.

The escape system had left his brain for a while, and the purpose of leaving was to go to the recycling bin for him to find out who Lin Xiao was.

In the end, little was gained.

He always thought that Lin Xiao would appear again, but he didn't expect to meet again so soon. The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Could you please use your little hand to exit the reading mode. Thank you
