Be a Social Cow In An Infinite Game

Chapter 4: Entering the New World for the First Time (4)

There were servants who were smashed to death on the ground, and eerie ghosts above. At this moment, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly solemn.

Xia Zhiyi soon realized that she was going to run for her life as quickly as possible.

Jing Ruyu moved faster than her, and had already grabbed her hand and led her to run outside.

— This is not the time to be in a daze, life matters!

As a result, they just took a step out of the warehouse when they saw the mission NPC Xiaoqiao suddenly appear at the door.

Silent and silent, like ghosts and monsters.

The hurried footsteps were forced to stop, and the two stopped immediately to avoid hitting Xiaoqiao.

The two sides looked at each other.

Jing Ruyu held Xia Zhiyi's hand tightly, and walked around Xiaoqiao without changing her expression.

Borrowing the temperature of the sun, the coldness left by the warehouse was dissipated a lot, and even the tense heartstrings were slightly relaxed, returning to calmness.

Xia Zhiyi turned her head to look at the warehouse, wanting to see if the ghost had caught up, but she didn't see anything.

The place where the ghost had appeared was now empty. If it weren't for the shocking bloodstains there, it would really be like a dream—a nightmare.

Jing Ruyu soon discovered that the ghost had disappeared.

Xiao Qiao glanced coldly in the direction of the servant, frowned and shook her head, as if feeling very dissatisfied.

"I told you to be more agile."

Xia Zhiyi was immediately speechless.

...This is what happens when you have bad hands and feet?

Xia Zhiyi saw Xiaoqiao walking straight towards the servant, and then stretched out her hand to directly pull the smashed person out from under the wooden box, her movements were as casual as if she was tearing a piece of rag.

However, Xiaoqiao's expression is calm, as if she is used to it, but the more calm she is, the more shocking the picture will be.

Xia Zhiyi felt nauseated and felt cold all over his body.

She even saw the servant's fingers move slightly.

Then a hand closed her eyes, and Jing Ruyu's voice fell into her ear: "I'm here, don't be afraid."

Xiaoqiao grabbed the man's limp hand, stood calmly in the cold warehouse, looked around and stared at them: "This place is tidy up, and it's time for lunch break, the two honored guests should hurry back and rest.

"After all, there is still work to do in the afternoon."

After finishing speaking, she hooked her lips into a smile, showing an expression of watching the show.

Xia Zhiyi sat in their room, lost in thought.

The room layout is extremely simple.

Open the door, there are tables and chairs in the middle, and two opposite beds are placed against the wall on the left. There are pillows and quilts on the beds, but nothing else.

The overall space looks small and crowded, this should not be a place for entertaining distinguished guests.

Xia Zhiyi doesn't have time to worry about so much right now, and she keeps replaying what happened in the warehouse in her mind.

As soon as she lowered her head, the blood stained on the cotton mop would pierce her eyes, reminding her of what she had just experienced.

The previous sense of illusion suddenly dissipated in the face of death.

She was dragged by the blood stains on the shoes, and suddenly fell back to reality, and she became sober.

This is not a dream.

This is a game of death.

If you lose, you will leave the field forever, and there is no possibility.

Thinking of this, she slowly closed her five fingers, and tightly grasped the jacket, a burst of unwillingness burst out of her stuffy chest.

She didn't want to die, no one wanted to die.

Her life has just begun, why should she sit here and wait to die?

She hasn't told her parents that she resigned, and she hasn't been their daughter enough, how can she just die like this, and let the white-haired one send the black-haired one?

Why does this world have to die if she wants her to die? !

Why, she refuses to accept it! !

Raising her eyes, she looked over the food on the table, and looked at her former lover.

"As long as I can get out of here alive, I can live, right?"

Jing Ruyu nodded.

Xia Zhiyi asked again: "There must be a way out of the test here, right?"

She wants to live, but she doesn't want to work hard.

If the new world didn't want them to get out alive from the very beginning, it would be useless for them to work hard in this cage.

Jing Ruyu nodded again: "There is no dead end in the test of the new world."

Seeing the light shining in Xia Zhiyi's eyes, she couldn't help but say a few more words: "Zhiyi, this is a complicated world, it is kind and cruel, it will give people a new life, and it will also kill people when death comes. This is the price of survival.

"And our task here is to do everything possible to survive, for this moment and for the future."

At this moment, Xia Zhiyi had a deeper understanding of this sentence.

Yes, they must live, and do everything possible to survive!

Cheering up and reviving, Xia Zhiyi's eyes glowed with a different brilliance.

She lifted her chopsticks to eat to replenish her energy.

Now that you decide to live, you have to eat. If you don’t eat, you have no energy to use your brain, let alone run!

Jing Ruyu was relieved to see her cheer up, and moved her chopsticks accordingly.

Xia Zhiyi said while eating, "You really know a lot."

Jing Ruyu smiled and said nothing.

Xia Zhiyi puffed up her cheeks and asked, "Then we've been doing dungeons in the new world? Can't we go home?"

Jing Ruyu shook her head: "After clearing the customs, we will return to the real world. When the time comes, the new world will send us in again."

When Xia Zhiyi heard that she could go home, she became more motivated.

The two ate quietly.

After eating, Xia Zhiyi remembered what Xiaoqiao did just now, and asked one last question: "Will the mission NPC hurt us?"

"No," Jing Ruyu said, "Without conditions, they can't attack players."

Against the background of the new world, the peaceful lunch break passed quickly, and Xiaoqiao came to arrange tasks again.

"You two go to the ice cellar," Xiaoqiao looked at Xia Zhiyi and said, "some things are messed up inside, you go and tidy them up, and then put this thing in the bottom. Be quick with your hands and feet, don't knock it over. "

After all, he handed Xia Zhiyi a tray with a few bouquets of ordinary flowers on it.

Xia Zhiyi held the tray, and Jing Ruyu looked at each other.

Xiao Qiao posted another round of tasks, and finally said: "You can come back directly after completing the tasks in the afternoon, and you don't have to wait until dinner time.

"Do you have any questions, gentlemen?"

Everyone looks at me and I look at you.

At this moment, a white arm was raised high, attracting all eyes.

Xia Zhiyi raised her hand and said, "I have."

Xiao Qiao asked, "What's your question?"

Xia Zhiyi: "Give me a pair of shoes, just like yours."

Xiaoqiao: "?"

Xia Zhiyi lifted her foot, revealing her cotton slippers: "My shoes are inconvenient for work. Your Gu family has a big business, so you can't even afford a pair of shoes for guests, can you?"

"..."

Xiao Qiao turned her head and ordered: "Go get a pair of shoes for the distinguished guest."

Xia Zhiyi shouted at the departing servant: "I want a new one!

"It has to fit your feet, and it has to be comfortable to wear, otherwise I won't work!"

Xiaoqiao: "..."

It felt like noon had passed, and this person had changed a lot.

Xia Zhiyi finished shouting calmly, then turned her head and whispered to Jing Ruyu's ear: "I can't run fast in slippers, change to a better pair for better running."

Now she is no longer the silly Xia Zhiyi in the morning.

Before going on a trip, she must first start her life of trying to survive.

Putting aside all moral politeness for the time being, what's the use of talking about this with ghosts and the new world?

Seeing her like this, Jing Ruyu suddenly smiled a little more in her eyes, and said approvingly: "We Xiaoxia did a good job."

The tone of intimacy is the same as when they hadn't broken up.

As soon as they finished talking, the two of them came to their senses, the smiles on their faces froze instantly, embarrassment arose spontaneously, and then tacitly looked away, pretending to look at the scenery.

After a while, Xia Zhiyi put on her new shoes as she wished.

She tried it on, and it fit well, making it perfect for running.

Very well, the task NPC is still a bit moral in this respect and didn't cheat her.

The person who helped her fetch the shoes took them to the underground ice cellar along the way.

But this time it was different from the morning, the man didn't stay, he just told them where to put the flowers on the tray and left.

Looking at the closed wooden door, Xia Zhiyi held the tray and turned to Jing Ruyu, "Can you?"

Her ex-girlfriend is more afraid of the cold than most people.

She still remembers this.

Jing Ruyu frowned lightly, and nodded lightly.

Not so possible, but there is no way to refuse.

She took the initiative to stretch out her hand and pushed open the door of the ice cellar, the cold air accumulated behind the door immediately rushed towards her face, sweeping over every inch of her skin, leaving behind a piece of cold air.

Well, she's starting to feel bad.

Xia Zhiyi also felt cold.

She was still wearing shorts and shorts, and when the cold air blew, she immediately got goosebumps.

Looking in from the outside, the ice cubes stacked inside were covered with layers of weeds, and many weeds fell to the ground waiting for someone to clean them up.

There is a wooden cabinet at the bottom of the ice cellar, with several vases on it, and the dead flowers that have lost their vitality are inserted in the vases.

Their task is to pick up all the weeds on the ground, spread them on the ice, and then replace the flowers in the vases.

Xia Zhiyi couldn't understand why she put a useless flower in the ice cellar, but she didn't get entangled when she thought of the new world.

A dungeon can be created here to kill people, so what's the normal logic?

The most important thing is that this time there is not even a NPC who can ask questions!

The ice cellar was as quiet as a warehouse.

As soon as he stepped in, Xia Zhiyi felt Jing Ruyu approaching him - not because of fear, but because he was looking for warmth.

The two of them didn't want to stay longer, so they went in and picked up the weeds and laid them out, and finally went to change the flowers on the wooden cabinet together.

Xia Zhiyi also took the time to look around, it was a closed space, there were no other passages, and there was no strange sound of water.

There should be no customs clearance exit here. She silently came to a conclusion.

They approached the half-person-high wooden cabinet very carefully.

calm.

Needle drop can be heard.

The two looked at each other, determined to make a quick decision.

Jing Ruyu's complexion was not very good, as she repelled this cold environment as much as she wanted.

She quickly pulled out the withered flowers, picked up a bouquet of flowers on the tray, and prepared to put them in, but found that she couldn't put them in anyway, and the mouth of the bottle seemed to be blocked.

"What's wrong?" Xia Zhiyi asked.

"It's blocked, I can't put it in." Jing Ruyu changed his method, took out a flower, and tried to put it in. The flower branch fell into the vase without any resistance in an instant. Put it in."

Xia Zhiyi was speechless.

The new world can really do things.

"This **** place... Let's hurry up, aren't you afraid of the cold? Leave quickly after changing to avoid danger."

"Um."

Jing Ruyu didn't delay, and speeded up adding flowers one by one.

Xia Zhiyi knew that time was precious, and was about to put down the tray to work with her, but at this moment, there was a strange noise in the ears of the two of them, and in the blink of an eye, there was only a "snap", something was caught .

Xia Zhiyi paused, looked down at her legs—

A pale, withered arm protruded from the wall and was clutching her ankle.

A smashed yet familiar face appeared in front of their eyes.

The atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.

In the cold air, the **** mouth opened and closed, and he spat out a sentence in spite of himself: "I'm not reconciled..."

Almost instantly, they recognized this ghost—the servant who was crushed to death in the warehouse.

"Hey..."

The dense ghost language has long since lost the appearance of a human being.

"Go to hell, go to hell—"

The next moment, he suddenly tightened his grip!

"-Wait a moment!"

Xia Zhiyi yelled suddenly, which caught people off guard.

The ghost servant was stunned by the shout.

Xia Zhi thought that he was really stunned by his shouting, so he handed the tray to him very naturally, and said casually: "Come, help me get Miss's flowers."

Hearing the familiar words, the ghost servant instinctively reached out to catch them.

After he reacted, he felt being teased, and immediately flew into a rage, smashing the tray on the ground, and was about to make another move, but saw a white light flash in front of him!

"Kangdang."

"what-"

Amidst the ear-piercing howls, the tray fell to the ground, and a shriveled hand fell limply on the ground amidst the swirling bouquets.

Jing Ruyu put away the knife neatly, got up and was grabbed by Xia Zhiyi, turned around and ran out.

After wearing new shoes, Xia Zhiyi's running speed increased significantly, and she rushed out of the ice cellar with Jing Ruyu.

They didn't dare to relax until they got out of the ice cellar door.

They have figured out a general rule - the side missions force them to enter these places because the ghosts here cannot leave a certain range, and only within this range can they show up and kill people.

Sure enough, the ghost servant with the severed hand howled and chased them to the door and had to stop, staring at them resentfully.

The ice cellar is underground, the surroundings are dim, the light is dim, and the candles on the wall are extremely weak and insignificant.

They kept a distance from the ghost, silently bearing his venomous eyes.

Then, they saw the ghost servant suddenly hide aside, as if they saw something more terrifying than themselves.

The two turned their heads, and saw Xiaoqiao standing behind them, holding a candle lamp in her hand, half of her immature face was in the light, and half was hidden in the darkness, with a ghostly look.

Xia Zhiyi was startled suddenly.

Jing Ruyu stretched out his hand to protect her behind, and quietly touched the short knife pinned to his waist with one hand.

Xiaoqiao first glanced slowly at Jing Ruyu who was recovering, and then re-examined the two of them.

"You knocked over flowers," she opened her mouth slowly, "I said before, you can't knock over things, the Gu family doesn't welcome clumsy people."

The tone was cold and cruel, as if they were being sentenced to death.

Silence filled the cellar in an instant, and murderous intent filled the air.

At this moment, Xia Zhiyi suddenly turned her head and shouted into the ice cellar: "Gui, did you hear that, butler Qiao is going to clean you up, and soon you will be a ghost without a home!"

Xiaoqiao: "?"

The ghost servant behind the door: "?"

Even Jing Ruyu looked at her in confusion.

Xiaoqiao: "I'm talking about you two."

Xia Zhiyi turned her head and frowned: "Then how could it be the two of us? Have you seen it?"

Xiaoqiao snorted coldly: "Of course I saw it."

Xia Zhiyi asked back, "What did you see?"

Xiao Qiao: "You gave the tray to a ghost, and the tray overturned."

Xia Zhiyi smiled slightly: "That's right, the tray was knocked over in the hands of a ghost, so what does it matter to us? There is a wronged person and a debtor, whoever does it will find someone else, we will not take the blame for others, and neither will ghosts."

"..."

Xiao Qiao: "Why did you give it to him? That's your task."

Xia Zhiyi: "I'm tired of carrying it, I want him to carry it for me, but I didn't say I wouldn't take it back."

In order to distract Xiaoqiao, she even began to provoke unscrupulously.

"Xiao Qiao, I think you should ask that ghost why he still has to catch the tray with only one hand, why he knocked over the tray even though he knew it was a task assigned by you, and he still said something 'not reconciled' Class words.

"Oh! I see, he refuses to accept you, he is provoking your steward's majesty, he wants to usurp the throne and become a steward—he is uneasy and kind!

"Can you bear this? If it gets out, how can you hang out in Gu's house?! Come on, you go in and deal with him now, beat him so colorfully that he can't be distinguished from animals or humans!

"We will help you watch the wind outside, and we will block you when the ladies and gentlemen come, don't worry!"

The ghost servant who is eavesdropping: "???"

Why is there still a slanderer? Does this person have any morals? ? ?

The author has something to say:

Xiaoxia: Thank you, no.

Ghost Servant: …
