    The brackish sea breeze blows the hem of the clothes, and everything in the field of vision gradually becomes clear.

    Yi Xing saw that the sky dyed red by sunset was divided into many parts by messy and intertwined electric wires, and low stone tile houses stood quietly on the ground, with a few sporadic sea fish hanging on the bamboo poles in front of the house and behind the house.

    "Escape live broadcast is about to start"

    『Please set the number of points received for watching this live broadcast.』

    Yi Xing raised his hand and tapped on the light screen.

    100, confirm.

    "The escape live broadcast has started, looking forward to your performance.』

    "Cub!!!"

    "Where did you go! It didn't air for a whole week! Do you know how my week went?!"

    Yi Xing felt guilty.

    His live broadcast this month has been long enough, and he has been full all the time, so he didn't start the broadcast and concentrated on growing vegetables at home.

    Although it took a week, only shallot seedlings were grown, and the mushrooms did not even have hyphae.

    "Cub Yi, where are you?"

    "The stone house is dirty and messy. You must have been kidnapped, right?"

    "Blink if you get kidnapped."

    "Don't think too much, it's just a holographic game, yes, I came in from the game area again."

    "Speaking of which, the popularity ranking of "Infinity Paradise" is very strange. My son had hundreds of thousands of popularity when it first aired, but it was ranked behind tens of thousands of popularity."

    "There is definitely a shady scene."

    "It's not shady either."

    The popularity of Infinity Paradise is mainly calculated based on the number of survivors and hunters watching, and the influence of ordinary viewers is very small.

    But Yi Xing couldn't say clearly, he could only vaguely say: "The algorithm of this game is different."

    A red bullet screen floated by.

    "As long as you set a lower number of points, your number of viewers can quickly rise."

    Immediately afterwards, several colored barrages appeared.

    "Finally someone has spoken out my heart. This studio is really expensive."

    "You don't set an astronomical number like 9999, which obviously doesn't allow people to enter, and it's so expensive, what do you think?"

    "He is a newcomer, and the maximum can only be set to 100."

    "What? I spent 100 to watch a newcomer's live broadcast? Damn, I chose an expensive one on purpose, thinking I could see the boss."

    "It's best not to let me know which city you are in, and don't let me fly overnight to assassinate you."

    Yi Xing raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm in Sea City, if you think it's too expensive, you can find me, and you'll get a refund upon delivery."

    In Yi Xing's impression, whether it is a hunter or a survivor, it is delicious.

    The spider's blood silk, the player's card, An Wumeng's bullet, not to mention the mushroom, it is a delicacy in itself.

    He was looking forward to someone coming to him for a refund.

    "Cub, what are you talking about?"

    "What refund on delivery?"

    The white barrage unanimously expressed doubts.

    Ordinary audiences couldn't see the colorful barrage, so Yi Xing couldn't answer.

    Suddenly, he heard a scream of pain.

    is the player's voice.

    Yi Xing walked quickly towards the direction where the voice came from.

    Passing through several old stone tile houses, he saw players running around the trees.

    A middle-aged woman with messy hair and looking crazy was chasing her with a broom.

    While chasing, he was cursing and saying something.

    "Go! Let me go! Since you left with that bastard, never come back!" The woman waved the broom and insisted on driving the player to the gate of the village.

    "What bastard? What are you talking about? No, who are you?"

    The player obviously doesn't exercise often, and his physical strength is not as good as that of a middle-aged woman, and he is out of breath after running for a long time.

    The mad woman chased her closer and closer. The player ran too fast and didn't pay attention to the potholes on the road. He stepped into the pothole, twisted his foot, and was about to fall to the ground.

    A hand grabbed her, and the broom raised by the crazy woman failed to fall.

    The player looked up and saw Yi Xing standing in front of her, and immediately showed an expression of seeing the savior.

    "Cub Yi! Fortunately, you found it."

    "Are you okay?" Yi Xing saw that the player's twisted foot had not been firmly stepped on for a long time, so he didn't dare to let go.

    The player tried to walk, but immediately raised his feet as soon as they touched the ground, grinning and shaking his head, "It's not good, it's twisted."

    Yi Xing had no choice but to support her with one hand, and looked back at the crazy woman with doubts in his eyes.

    In his impression, apart from survivors in the dungeon, they were hunters.

    This woman chased after the player as soon as she came. She really didn't look like a survivor, but she didn't look like a hunter either. She was too weak, as if she could fall if pushed.

    "She should be an NPC." The player whispered.

    "NPC?" A word Yi Xing didn't understand.

    "It's...similar to the aborigines in the dungeon." The player put it in a more intelligible way.

    This kind of dungeon with hunting and escape as the rule will also have aborigines.

    When Yi Xing looked at the mad woman, the mad woman's confused gaze gradually focused on his face, her eyes moved slightly, and then she twitched the broom held by Yi Xing even harder.

    "Go! You all go! Leave the village, you are not welcome here."

    "We want to leave, but how can we leave without a 'key'?" the player muttered quietly.

    Yi Xing was a little distressed.

    The mad woman is neither a survivor nor a hunter, and he doesn't know how to deal with it.

    If he let the crazy woman go, she would definitely continue to chase him.

    The player has a sprained ankle, it is difficult to walk, and there is no way to get rid of her.

    worry.

    "Why did you drive us out of the village?" Players habitually ask NPCs to collect clues.

    The crazy woman looked at them, and tears came out of her cloudy eyes, "Pearl, your mother raised you from a small group to this big, you like to draw, and your mother also allows you to paint, you...you want toFollow that bastard and leave!"

    The woman's eyes suddenly became fierce, she let go of the broom and grabbed the two of them, "Okay! You go! Don't come back after you leave! Don't come back!"

    Yi Xing threw the broom far away and protected the players to retreat.

    When the player saw the crazy woman scratching Yi Xing's arm, he immediately became angry, "It's fine if you hit me, but you still hit me? I'll fight with you!"

    Yi Xing: "..."

    The crazy woman didn't hurt him at all, he resisted it with ease, but it was the player who moved and made him feel more stressed.

    Not only did he have to deal with the mad woman's attack, but he also had to grab the player who couldn't stand still and wanted to charge up.

    Just as he was thinking whether to separate the two with blood spider silk, Yi Xing heard the door open with a creak.

    The door of the double-storey stone house next to him opened, and a little old man in a big black jacket strode out, "Crazy Zhen, you came out to hurt people again!"

    The old man was not tall, but he was quite strong. He pulled the crazy woman away after a while, "Look clearly, this is a foreign tourist, not your daughter!"

    "Sea flower! Xiao Yang!"

    The old man yelled loudly a few times, as if calling someone's name.

    "Come on! Crazy Jane ran out again! Get her back!"

    Soon people came from all directions to help the old man restrain the mad woman and send her away.

    The old man walked back and said with a smile, "Scared you? I'm so sorry, that person has some mental problems, and no one is watching at her house, so she always lets her out to hurt people."

    "Thank you sir, we're fine." The player asked, "Why is she crazy?"

    "Just... my daughter ran away with the bastard. After being stimulated, she gradually became crazy."

    The old man didn't seem to want to talk about it. He looked at the sky and asked:

    "It's getting dark, have you found a place to stay? Why don't you come to my house for one night? My house has several vacant rooms for tourists."

    The player and Yi Xing looked at each other.

    The player nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "We don't have any clues about the 'key' yet. I don't know how many days it will take to leave. We need a place to live."

    Yi Xing just wanted to find food, but there was a teammate with a sprained leg next to him who needed a place to settle, so he nodded and agreed.

    The player said to the old man: "Then give us two rooms, adjacent to each other."

    "There is only one guest room on the first floor, but there are two adjacent rooms on the second floor. It's just your leg..." The old man hesitated.

    "It's okay, let's go to the second floor." The player knew what was going on with his leg.

    I didn't really hurt my bones, but it hurts a little now, and it will get better overnight.

    If it doesn't get better, she draws a card and draws a healing card.

    There is no need to register to stay in the small fishing village. The old man took the 200 yuan from the player and led the two upstairs.

    The player supported the wall with one hand and Yi Xing with the other, and jumped up the stairs.

    Yi Xing originally wanted to lift her up directly, but seeing that she was in a good mood, he let her dance.

    "Do you want to prepare dinner for you? Two people, 30 yuan is enough." The old man asked.

    The player casually took out a 50 from his pocket and gave it to the old man, "Make one for us."

    In the dungeon world, nothing that can be solved with money is not a problem.

    "Okay." The old man responded with a smile, turned around and went downstairs.

    Yi Xing sent the player into the room, and the player asked him to close the door, sit cross-legged on the bed and said:

    "Let's analyze this copy first."

    There are no chairs in the room, and Yi Xing is not going to sit.

    He walked to the window, looked into the distance looking for food, and listened to the players.

    "First of all, the name of this dungeon is "The Bride of the Sea Monster". The name of the dungeon is closely related to the plot of the dungeon, and the 'key' is necessarily related to the plot of the dungeon."

    Yi Xing thought of the novice dungeon he had experienced.

    The dungeon is called "Cat Apartment", and the 'key' happens to be the cat that died in the apartment and was cocooned by spiders.

    "So, this dungeon 'key' is related to sea monsters?" Yi Xing asked.

    Kraken, sounds delicious, doesn't it?

    The player nodded and said, "There is also 'Bride', we can start investigating the monsters in the sea and the marriages in the fishing village in recent years."

    "I'm afraid there are few people getting married here in recent years." Yi Xing looked at the pedestrians downstairs and said.

    "Eh? How do you know?" The player wondered.

    "Didn't you notice? There are mostly elderly people in this village. There are no young people or children."

    The player was startled.

    She thought of the people she saw today, from the crazy woman, to the old man in this house, to the "Hai Hua" and "Xiao Yang" the old man called, all of them were at least forty or fifty years old.

    The player moves to the window and looks out.

    In front of and behind the house, on the street, on the beach...all you can see are middle-aged and elderly people.

    "After all, it's a small village. The young people in the village may have gone out to work..." The player's voice gradually became quieter, and she herself felt that it didn't make sense. Even if all the young people went out to work, what about the children?

    Does the child go to school?What about children under school age?

    The city where all parents took to work?

    Seeing the player's face changed, Yi Xing comforted him:

    "Anyway, what you said is quite right. The copy is called "The Bride of the Sea Monster". Of course, we need to investigate the marriage, especially the bride who married the sea monster."

    Although Yi Xing was not interested in the investigation, he wanted to go to the sea to see it.

    The sea monster should be in the sea, right?I don't know how many catties a sea monster weighs, and how much it can eat if you catch one.

    "Hey! There are young people!" The player said in surprise.

    Yi Xing followed her gaze.

    Among the houses covered with messy antennas, two men walked side by side.

    Judging by their appearance, one is in his early twenties and the other is in his thirties. In this fishing village full of middle-aged and elderly people, they can definitely be regarded as young people.

    The younger man raised his head and looked over if he felt something.

    Yi Xing stood quietly without moving. The position he was standing in was a blind spot for the people downstairs, and they couldn't find him.

    Beside him, the player felt that the blue glass and wooden window blocked his view, so he stretched out his hand to push the window open and leaned over to look out.

    "..." Yi Xing was silent.

    The player looked at them approaching, let out a light snort, and said, "It doesn't look like people from a fishing village."

    The clothes of the people in the fishing village are mostly gray and old-fashioned, but one of these two people is wearing a brand-name sportswear and the other is wearing a suit.

    "It feels like other survivors, wait for them to come over and try it out." The player said.

    Yi Xing raised his eyebrows slightly, wondering how she tried.

    After seeing those two people walking downstairs, the player lay down at the window and said:

    "My code name is player, how about you?"

    Yi Xing helped his forehead, it was indeed a simple and easy-to-understand temptation.

    The two downstairs looked at each other.

    The younger one said directly: "Racing driver."

    The older ones frowned and hesitated for a while before saying, "President."

    "Pfft, what a domineering code name." The player couldn't help laughing.

    The racer is also trying to hold back his laughter.

    The president adjusted his glasses and glared at the people beside him.

    The racer hurriedly held back his laughter and said, "It's getting dark, let's find a place to live."

    The old man had been waiting for a long time, and welcomed the two of them in. After arranging the room, he went down to work again.

    After the two came to the player's room, they found that there was another person in the room.

    The overly pretty boy stood quietly by the window, making the small and dark room feel like a fairytale cottage.

    Yi Xing glanced at them and said calmly, "Gaotie."

    "Ah..." The racing driver seemed to be awakened, but also seemed to be trapped in a dream. He walked forward holding his breath, looked at Yi Xing without blinking, and asked nervously:

    "Excuse me, are you real?"

    Yi Xing glanced at him intently, and replied, "Of course."

    "Hey, hey, be careful, don't get so close to my cub." The player almost jumped up, if it wasn't for her inconvenient legs, she would have rushed in front of the racer, firmly blocking Yi Xing.

    Someone started her first.

    The president strode forward, lifted the racer away, and said, "I'm sorry, but my brother is too evasive and has caused you trouble."

    "Are you brothers?" The player was surprised.

    "Hmm." The president responded in a low voice.

    The player sighed softly, "It's great..." There is someone to accompany you in this dangerous world.

    It's really bad, the two brothers are bound by the paradise, if something happens, the family will lose two children.

    "It's nothing good." The president lowered his eyes, and the dim incandescent light cast a shadow in his eyes.

    The racing driver put his hand on his shoulder, "It's my fault, I'm not strong enough and I'm too impulsive, and I always make you worry about me."

    The president glanced at him, "I hope you can improve after this encounter."

    "I listen to you, who made me owe you points every day." The racer said helplessly.

    Players are a little envious of their mutual support, and can't help but look at Yi Xing who is aside.

    Yi Xing was staring out the window, and he didn't know what he was looking at. In short, he didn't care about the newly added companions, didn't care about their existence, and didn't care what clues they could bring.

    The player looked away and asked the two brothers, "Did you find any clues?"

    The president thought for a while, "We asked the villagers about the 'sea monster', and they all became discolored when they heard about it, and they acted terrified, and they didn't want to talk about it."

    The player also said: "As soon as we arrived, we were chased by a crazy woman for a long time, and we haven't had time to investigate."

    It seems that neither side got any useful clues.

    Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the door.

    The nearest racer stepped forward to open the door.

    The old man stood outside the door with a smile on his face wrinkled like orange peel, "The meal is ready, let's come down and eat first."

    Several people went downstairs together, and there were several bowls of salted fish prepared in different ways on the broken wooden table.

    "Why are they all salted fish?" the player asked.

    When the old man waited for them to be seated, he went into the kitchen to serve the tea he had already brewed. Hearing the player's question, he pondered for a moment and replied:

    "Recently, there has been heavy fog at sea recently, and I can't go out to sea to catch fresh fish. I can only eat salted fish that have been marinated before."

    As he spoke, the old man approached with tea.

    Yi Xing stared straight at the cup of tea.

    A curled and twisted octopus tentacles are soaked in the steaming tea, which looks delicious.

    "That's it." The player just asked casually, and it's all in the dungeon, and it's fine if there is food, she doesn't pick.

    The old man brought the tea to her, and she took it and put it on the table.

    His eyes swept across the dishes, fried salted fish with green peppers, steamed salted fish, braised salted fish... just looking at them seemed to be salty.

    The player couldn't help but reach for the tea at hand, wanting to drink some to moisten his mouth first.

    Instead of touching the teacup, he grabbed a bottle of mineral water.

    Where does the mineral water come from?

    The player immediately looked down.

    "You drink this." Yi Xing stuffed the player with the water that he had quietly exchanged for the points, took the teacup in front of the player himself, and drank it all in one gulp.
