With his back to Li Yi, who knew nothing about it, the man leading the way bent down and moved something on the ground. When Li Yi turned his head to look again, the man he could still see just now had also disappeared.
With just a moment of turning around, the companion behind him and the guide in front of him disappeared completely, as if they had never appeared.
If it were anyone else, and thinking of what the guide just said about not entering the painting when going there, I'm afraid he wouldn't be too calm, or at least panicked for a while.
Of course, this does not include Li Yi. He had experienced a similar scene before in the dungeon world. In addition, he had also seen the scene in the painting before. For what happened now, even if he did not expect it, he did not expect it.
It would be too panicky.
He just thought about it and discovered the loopholes in it.
Since they are not the first batch of infiltrators to come to this cave in the Land of Snow, where did the people who infiltrated before go?
Judging from the defensive strength, no, there didn't seem to be any defensive strength here at all. Even the man who led them, looking back now, was more like a bait for fear that they wouldn't take the bait.
Then here comes the problem.
It is impossible for an underground organization to be defenseless against possible outside infiltrators...
Then the only explanation is that this cave that seems to be the entrance, and everything seen in it, is probably the real defense force of the base camp.
Judging from the situation where all the people disappeared just now, it should be a signal to activate the defensive force, Li Yi analyzed calmly.
So the scene in the painting he just saw...he couldn't help but cast his gaze to the only place with light on the field at this moment.
Assuming that the person who led the way was actually a decoy, does that mean that everything he told me should be understood in reverse?
In this case...
Li Yi strode forward and walked directly towards the lifelike painting. He had tried it before but failed to enter it. Now that he had figured out this level, he wanted to try what would happen if he thought about it wholeheartedly.
.
After a trance, he opened his eyes again. Li Yi found that he had really entered the scene in the painting he had just seen. He had changed from a bystander to a person in the painting. For this kind of experience, he did not want to be too rich and often traveled back and forth.
There are countless times in various major spaces, and there are also unexpected discoveries.
[Activation of the scene copy in the picture: This scene is a special scene copy. It is strongly recommended to consider leaving after completing the plot mission. Since the scene copy is seriously broken, there are not many times left. If you choose to repair the copy before it is broken, you can get
Take ownership of this special scene.]
Huh? Does this mean that as long as I complete the plot mission of this special scene, I can repair him before he completely collapses and take the opportunity to take ownership? Listening to the prompts given by the system, Li Yi suddenly became interested.
You must know that the so-called dungeon scene ownership is very valuable. Once obtained, it means that everyone who tries to enter the dungeon needs to pay you the fee you set. As for the fee and the price, it is up to you.
Set it yourself.
It's like you opened a school that everyone has to go to to improve themselves. It's no problem if you want to get in! Just pay, I have the final say how much you pay!
If you think about the name of the competition before, you can see that there are so many people who enter, and they are all elite children carefully cultivated by the major forces. It must cost a lot, and most of them are directly set by the original war spirits.
Yes, if the war spirit is not stubborn and only wants to run away from its master.
It's almost like holding a chicken that lays golden eggs!
I can do this kind of day of sitting and charging! Just imagine, doing nothing every day, watching a group of people fighting life and death in the world you "run", all you have to do is collect the ticket money, these people who paid the ticket
, and will also "perform" for myself. In this kind of life, it is simply better than a living god!
Li Yi thought about it and became excited. Since he also had such an opportunity to hold back a chicken that laid golden eggs, he would of course pay more attention to it.
Thinking like this, Li Yi suddenly concentrated his energy and stared at the lively scene in front of him with bright eyes.
Compared with the scene he saw before, this "living" picture has some changes. Except for the houses and buildings that seem to serve as the background, the trajectories of the characters in the painting have also changed. Li Yi first noticed
What I saw was the customers haggling loudly on the side of the street. If nothing else, it was because of this person's clothes and the scene that they were so out of place.
The man was wearing a set of silver-white protective clothing with a metallic texture, which was similar to the combat uniforms of the Human Alliance's outer guards. It had a sci-fi feel. In Li Yi's imagination, this kind of soldiers wearing combat uniforms should not appear in the momentum.
Wouldn't it be more suitable in the magnificent outer space scene?
But now, he had an argument with a vendor on the street over a few dollars. He looked red-faced, and Li Yi couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity.
"Hey, I said, if you can't afford it, don't move around. If everyone is like you, how can I sell the things I have?"
Taking a few steps closer, Li Yi heard the conversation between the two people clearly. It was slightly different from what he imagined. It was not that there was a dispute, but that the soldier had no money to buy it at all. The so-called blushing was just because he was short of money.
lead to.
And the soldier was obviously not a man of words. The vendor's simple sarcastic words made him angry and speechless, but he couldn't think of how to refute. Then his face turned red with anxiety. Ordinary people would have just thrown away their hands and left.
, but he didn't know why, he kept hanging on, staring at something.
This strange behavior made Li Yi start to look at the other party carefully.
Wearing a heavy combat uniform, you can't tell your body shape, but you can also tell that the man dressed as a soldier is not living a good life. His lips are dry, the corners of his mouth are trembling, and light blue saliva is flowing. This scene
Seeing this, Li Yi's heart sank, and he seemed to have thought of something. He stepped forward and took a look at the items sold at the stall, and he immediately understood something.
"Boss, how do you sell these sweet potatoes?"
When the hawker heard the sound, he looked him up and down and immediately changed his face: "Hey, are you new? My sweet potatoes are big and sweet. I'm still full after eating them. How many of them do you want?"
"Okay!" Li Yi smiled broadly, lowered his head and picked it up, as if he didn't care at all that there was a soldier beside him who was drooling over the sweet potatoes.
After a while, Li Yi picked out the sweet potatoes and asked, "Boss, how do you sell these sweet potatoes?"
After the hawker weighed the sweet potatoes, he handed them to Li Yi cheerfully: "I sell these sweet potatoes based on my mood. If I'm in a good mood, I can give them away for free, but if I'm in a bad mood..." At this point, he glanced at
The soldiers standing aside and not daring to say anything seemed to have something to say.
"Oh? Then do you think I'm in a good mood or in a bad mood?" Li Yi seemed to have completely missed the meaning in the hawker's eyes, and still smiled lightly, as if he was a customer who came to buy sweet potatoes.
"Okay, okay, just get your things and leave." The vendor drove Li Yi away impatiently, not mentioning the sweet potato money that he was still fussing about just now.
But he didn't expect that the person he met was also a serious person.
Li Yi shook his head resolutely: "How can that be done? It's only natural to give money when buying things. You tell me, I can afford to give you a few sweet potatoes. By the way, give me a few more. I'll look at this next to you.
My brother looks like he really wants to eat it, so I plan to give him a few to try."
As soon as he finished speaking, not only the sweet potato vendor stopped, but also the soldiers on the side were stunned. At this time, Li Yi could feel that just after he said these words, the whole street became
It was extremely quiet, and I turned around to look.
Okay! This is the first time that so many people are staring at him.
"You said you want to feed him?" the vendor asked with a solemn expression, word for word.
Li Yi looked nonchalant: "Yeah, what's the matter? I have money, uncle, but I can't stand it. Can't I buy it and give it to him?"
The vendor sneered: "You have money? Humph! I'm afraid you can't buy this thing if you have money. While I'm in a good mood now, take the things and get out of here immediately, and don't say anything stupid like sharing things with others."
Hearing this, Li Yi subconsciously glanced at the bag of "sweet potatoes" handed to him by the other party, and his expression changed.
That’s not a sweet potato at all!
At this moment, the system prompt also sounded in due course.
[Unlock one of the picture-in-picture plot branches: the soldier’s gift.]
[Plot summary: In this space in the painting, there are countless people who are trapped and unable to escape, and eventually die. Find them, fulfill their wishes, and you will receive their deathbed gifts. 】
[Unknown food: This thing doesn’t look very appetizing, but it seems to have a fatal attraction to the people who died here, but the maker is obviously not someone to be trifled with.]
Seeing this, Li Yi couldn't help but take a look at the vendor, but was surprised to find that the "sweet potato vendor" who looked kind just now suddenly changed his face.
That's right, it means literally, it's a real change of face, not expression.
The appearance of this vendor just now was an ordinary face that would be difficult to find among the crowd, but now...
Both his temperament and body appearance have undergone earth-shaking changes.
His waist was as thick as the top and bottom, his face was as big as a basin, and he was holding a boning knife that he had held in his hand for some time. An unpleasant fishy smell assaulted his nostrils.
That's the unique smell of being in contact with corpses for a long time!
As the appearance of the vendor changed, the system also gave prompts.
[The Butcher in the Painting: This object was made up of the residual auras of people who had starved to death everywhere, and was forcibly condensed together using a unique technique to become a powerful foreign object, which was later put into it by the owner of the scroll.

This turned out to be a collection of starving ghosts!
