079——

Qi Jiu's Adam's apple slipped, but he made no sound.

The blood slowly drained from Qi Gu's body, and the moonlight turned into noise and fell like fine snow. The cold that penetrated from his bones made him feel at a loss.

But soon, the body became numb to the cold, and a light pleasure took over all the senses.

This feeling was very novel and unique, as if some unknown force was gestating and sprouting in his body. He was lifted up by the night wind like a dandelion, floating across the vast land on a pale moonlit night.

The remaining blood in his mouth became sweeter and sweeter, and Qi Jiu's Adam's apple slid wildly. He was suddenly very hungry and thirsty. This overwhelming sense of hunger was like a huge black hole, swallowing him up without any room.

A desire for blood arose in his body.

The eager longing made him restless, and his eyelashes that had been soaked without knowing when were trembling, like a butterfly trapped in the rain flapping its wings and struggling violently.

Hungry. Very hungry.

——Until he got his wish, delicious and sweet liquid poured into his mouth continuously.

The confused Qi Gu didn't know whose blood it was, but it was enough to soothe his restless nerves. His Adam's apple slid wildly, greedily sucking the other person's blood.

As the first meal after birth.

But whose blood could it be? At this moment, the answer to this question is obvious.

——079, he remembered it.

*

When there was only one second left in the countdown to the dungeon's collapse, Qi Kui logged out of the dungeon.

The sweet taste lingered between the teeth, the moonlight noise gradually extinguished, and after a moment of absolute silence, strong light penetrated.

Qi Jiu came to the subway platform of Miliu City again, but this time he was woken up by a foreign body sensation in his throat.

"Cough, cough..." Qi Jiu struggled to sit up from the recliner, spitting out a large mouthful of strange-colored liquid.

He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the corners of his lips and smelled the smell of herbs.

"Damn, you finally woke up!" Qin Rang leaned over and covered Qi Qiu's dazzling white light above the platform, "This time you were unconscious for half an hour, even more exaggerated than last time!"

Qi Jiu gradually adapted to the light on the platform. His eyes looked at Qin Rang, then swept over the witch standing next to Qin Rang and the travelers who had survived the dungeon.

"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long." Although his voice was still a little hoarse and tired, Qi Qiu quickly recovered his thinking ability and maintained his usual polite and courteous appearance.

The witch explained: "You were unconscious just now, and your companions were very anxious, so I gave you some special potion. After all, the soul can easily get lost if it wanders in the dungeon for too long. The potion can help guide the lost soul. I hope you can

Do not mind."

Qi Jiu: "Thank you."

The witch shook her head, and she had some idea: "But I don't think the potion will help you much, it can only play a preventive role."

"By the way, what did you go through after praying at the shrine?" Qi Jiu asked Qin Rang and the witch hurriedly.

"After the plot of Xiaomi's prayer happened, the space of the shrine collapsed," Qin Rang told Qi Jiu, "We were taken to a strange crimson building with long corridors and countless dark shoji.

The door and all four walls were painted with indescribable ukiyo-e paintings. The weirdest thing was that after we were teleported to that weird building, there were no NPCs, no monsters, not even main line side quests, but every time we arrived for dinner

At the right time, the carefully cooked meals always appeared on the table on time, which was very strange... At first we didn't dare to eat. Only after the witch lady did a psychic test to confirm that there was no problem, we dared to use chopsticks, not to mention the taste was really good.

pretty good."

Qin Rang paused, trying his best to recall the details at that time, and continued: "There is only one rule in the entire red building - "It is forbidden to go to the atrium privately on a moonlit night."

"But even if there are no regulations, we don't dare to open those dark shoji doors at will. Who knows what is hidden inside..."

Qi Jiu: "Didn't you try to get out of the building?"

Qin Rang: "I tried it, but guess what?"

As he spoke, he gestured hard, "Whether it's a door or a window, after passing through it, we are back inside the building. It's like passing from one end of the mirror to the other end. There is no way to get out."

The witch on the side explained: "We are trapped in an infinite loop space. We cannot leave this ukiyo-e building until the barrier is broken."

"So that's it..." Qi Jiu said thoughtfully.

While he distorted time and space countless times and entered the core of the dungeon to complete hidden side missions, players who had not opened the hidden main mission were stranded in another layer of the barrier.

This layer of enchantment can be understood as the gap that appears at the connection of the dungeon plot.

Only when he completely solves the two quest lines "The truth about the fire in Ikuzhiwu" and "Please help Miss Ikuko escape", the dungeon is truly closed, and these players who are stranded in the barrier can successfully log out of the dungeon.

In fact, when he returned the five thousand coins to Xiao Yuzi, all the plot lines of the dungeon had been completed, so other players had chosen to leave at that time, and he chose to continue to go to the capital to parade and meet the male oiran, so he woke up.

Half an hour later than everyone else.

"You don't know, when I first entered that weird building, I searched everywhere but couldn't find you, but I was scared..."

When everyone entered the infinite loop space, only Qi Jiu was not there, and Qin Rang was immediately confused.

Qi Jiu's absence made him uneasy. It was also at that time that he clearly realized how much he relied on this teammate who was always "messing around", both mentally and physically. After all, Qi Jiu could rely on his own

The rhythm control copy makes people feel so safe.

The witch was a little suspicious at the time. Why didn't the young man wearing the mask follow? Was he really a person in the dungeon? Just like the existence of Xiaomi and his wife, they were interference items after the difficulty of the dungeon was greatly increased.

But the witch quickly denied her guess, because her Tarot suggested that the "Hanged Man" was in the upright position.

——Waiting and hoping.

Her cards would not lie to her, and the witch with enough experience quickly deduced the truth: the disappeared young man with a face had unlocked a hidden plot line, and until he completed the plot line, all players could only wait here.

But the cards give positive guidance, indicating that the opponent has a high probability of completing the task.

So the witch was much calmer than others from the beginning. She sat in the tea room meditating almost the whole time to restore energy.

"Our time was frozen at that time, and we don't know exactly how long it took until the cherry tree in the atrium burned without warning. Soon the ukiyo-e paintings on the wall melted, and the entire infinite loop space collapsed."

Qin Rang told Qi Qiu what happened in as much detail as possible.

The witch looked deeply at Qi Jiu: "Thank you."

Of course Qi Jiu knew what she was referring to and raised the corners of his lips: "You're welcome."

[Dungeon settlement is about to start, all travelers please go to the platform]

The announcement on the platform rang, and everyone immediately stopped all actions.

[Congratulations to all travelers for completing the "404 Hot Spring Street" tourist trip]

[Initial mode of the dungeon: Flexible exploration dungeon; Current dungeon mode change: Find the truth about the fire in Hot Spring Street (dual timeline); The current dungeon exploration and completion level have reached 100%, and the dungeon will be permanently closed]

[The next step is to settle the survival currency: the survival currency reward for clearing the copy is *5000]

Everyone exclaimed, after all, it is rare to play a dungeon with such a high survival coin reward.

Qi Jiu was also a little surprised. He remembered that the reward for clearing the previous dungeon was only 500 coins, so he immediately doubled it tenfold.

[Extra reward for completing the final main mission this time: the skills of all surviving travelers are improved (the degree of improvement is determined by the contribution of the travelers' dungeon exploration). Please check the system interface for details. The system expresses its most sincere thanks to you on behalf of all NPCs in Hot Spring Street.

】

【Wish you all a happy journey】

Almost all the survivors were stunned, because this additional reward was equivalent to being hit by the jackpot.

But Qin Rang, who had played a dungeon with Qi Kuu, behaved calmly and calmly, and he had gradually adapted to the feeling of having a great harvest after a disaster.

Qi Qiu clicked on his system interface, and when he saw the first message, he was slightly stunned——

[Reward 1: Congratulations, you have successfully unlocked the limited-time identity: "Elementary Vampire"]

[Instructions for use of the limited-time identity skill "Basic Vampire": 1.

Unknown); a long knife from the previous generation of oiran (a permanent prop that can cut off all evil causes and effects); deep-sea desalted fine dried fish * 10 boxes (a promise from the male oiran)]

Qi Qiu looked at the long list of rewards listed by the system and raised his lips with satisfaction: "Thank you, system teacher, and the proprietress of the hot spring hotel. I have received a lot of care from you during this period."

[You're welcome, you performed well in the copy, you deserve it]

The conversation between Qi Jiu and the system was very much like an employee who received a generous year-end bonus giving a speech at the annual meeting. The HR person who handed out the prize said a few polite words while awarding the award.

This time, the person in charge of the Mortal Cinema once again sent an invitation to make a copy of the documentary, and all the players unanimously agreed. At the same time, Qi Qiu and Qin gave a share of the box office during the release of "Canned Rose Fish", and each received 300 coins.

Qin Rang was overjoyed: "Why do I have the illusion of getting a pension?"

Qi Jiu smiled: "This is indeed a large amount of income. As long as you don't squander it randomly, the theater's share is enough for travelers to live peacefully in Miliu City."

"But I am a cat owner. I have to make good money to raise cats. The little gray cat's food needs to be improved." Qi Jiu showed a helpless and happy smile.
To be continued...
