Xiao Lan opened his eyes, and what appeared in his sight was his room with the style of the Republic of China.

The retro ceilings and decorations full of the style of the last century all show the style of the Republic of China.

It seems that this time he really woke up.

But he looked around, and there was the same blank book on the desk as before, and everything in the room was as usual.

Except for Luo, there was still no trace of Luo beside his pillow.

Xiao Lan went out and knocked on Luo's room next door, but there was no response.

He used his ancestral craftsmanship to open the door next door, and the room was empty, with no trace of anyone.

Xiao Lan stood in the corridor, the surroundings were silent, only a row of identical doors stood there quietly.

It was as if he was the only one in this space.

Xiao Lan returned to the room.

At this time, he found that the book he put on the table had changed.

The book still looks like a book, except that there was nothing on the cover except a pattern, and three words appeared——

Mingyue Hall.

These three words are an elegant font that goes well with the delicate cover.

Just like the name of the novel, the three words "Mingyue Pavilion" also appeared on the spine of the book.

As if proclaiming, this is a novel that describes the story that happened at Narutsukan.

As the characters in the book, it is the readers who received the invitation letter, that is, the players.

Xiao Lan, of course, will also be a part of it.

"Interesting." Xiao Lan opened the book.

The text already appears in the book.

The previous description is the same as the process for players to come here. It was recorded that a group of people went to Mingyue Pavilion after receiving the invitation letter, and lived in it under the arrangement of the housekeeper.

Xiao Lan turned back and found that the content behind was still blank.

It's like this is a novel being written, and now only the beginning has been completed.

Still serial, exciting.

The words on the book are not printed, but more like handwritten.

Xiao Lan took the book and compared the signature of the crow collected by the identity she played, and found that the handwriting was consistent.

That is to say, it is the writing of the crow.

The characters of the crow are not as scribbled and unrecognizable as many modern people, but like flowing clouds and flowing water, smooth and powerful, and it will make people feel good when they look at them.

But thinking that this is in the game, this little bit of goodwill...forget it.

Xiao Lan put away the book and moved forward in the corridor.

He wants to know what this Mingyue Pavilion has become now.

The book is a little bit in the way, and it's a hard-covered hard case with a bit of a nuisance.

Fortunately, Xiao Lan was wearing the [Emperor's New Clothes 2.0] version. He changed the style of the clothes to a sweater with a pocket, directly stuffed the book, and then sealed the pocket.

In this way, whether it is fighting or going to the sky, it will not fall off.

Suddenly, he felt a faint connection coming from his storage space.

When opened it, it was the envelope that originally contained Luo.

A line is now emerging on the envelope:

[Looks like we are separated again, sir]

Xiao Lan looked at the envelope, which contained part of Luo's body, so writing on it was like writing on Luo's body, which made people feel a little embarrassed, but there was no other way to contact him now.

So he still wrote on the envelope with his fingertips:

【How are you over there? 】

Lo:

【In your room, there is no one around】

Xiao Lan:

【me too】

Then he described to Luo what he had experienced in the dream before.

After reading Xiao Lan's description, Luo's reply appeared:

[This plot is the same as the crow's book called "Namma Killing"]

[The character returns to a familiar environment in the nightmare, which hides monsters that will attack at any time. As time goes by, more and more monsters appear in the environment, and gradually become stronger, until the trapped person is swallowed. 】

[You can only leave if you find the only flaw in the environment that doesn't match.]

Xiao Lan recalled for a while, and he did see a book with this name on the bookcase, but he just browsed it roughly, and he didn't remember such detailed details like Luo.

Generally speaking, it is impossible for normal people to remember all the things around them, and it is difficult to imagine the difficulty of finding that incompatible flaw in an environment where monsters are hidden.

If you're a hoarder, it's a nightmare.

Perhaps the only way to clear the level is to destroy all of them, and the cost of the destruction is still unknown.

But Xiao Lan, because of poverty and family members, passed through very easily.

To a certain extent, suffering is really the wealth of life.

Luo's handwriting appeared again:

[However, sir, the place you are familiar with is not our home]

Although it was only handwriting, Xiao Lan could see a bit of grievance from it.

Xiao Lan: "..."

After careful calculation, because of the restrictions on returning to the real world, he really didn't have much time to stay in the place that the two called home.

The place he is most familiar with should be the training ground.

What's the matter with suddenly feeling guilty?

Xiao Lan felt like a scumbag who stayed out all day and often didn't come home.

He reluctantly changed the subject:

【Have you also encountered Nightmare Killing? 】

Lowe's reply was quick:

[Yes, I returned to the darkness where I stayed for a long time. There was nothing around, but there was a white ball floating in the air. It was too conspicuous.]

Xiao Lan: "..."

This is the real simple mode.

Perhaps the crow would not have imagined that there would be such two wonderful creatures among the invited guests.

One used to have four walls, the other originally had nothing.

After contacting, Xiao Lan put away the envelope and moved on.

——

The Mingyue Pavilion is still quiet, and there is no trace of the player in sight.

Suddenly, Xiao Lan felt that the book in his pocket was slightly warm. This feeling was only for a moment, but he was still caught.

Xiao Lan took out "Mingyue Pavilion".

The original dull pattern on the cover is now slightly flickering.

He opened the book, and sure enough, new content had appeared:

【Farewell to my most loyal servant】

[He is immersed in eternal dreams]

【Enjoy infinite tranquility】

Xiao Lan frowned: "What is this?

This new content is not the same as the previous one. It doesn't have a novel-like description, but it looks like a modern poem.

After these words were written, new content did not continue to appear.

The original pattern on the cover has already lit up.

As if it were some kind of instruction.

Xiao Lan thought about the new content in the book.

If the person who wrote the book is a crow, the phrase "my most loyal servant" refers to the housekeeper, right?

But whether it's "farewell", "eternal dream", or "infinite tranquility", it doesn't sound like a lively state...

Xiao Lan decided to go to the housekeeper first.

Where would the butler appear most often?

It's morning, and he should be in charge of arranging breakfast, so it may be in the kitchen, dining room, etc.

Relying on previous memories, Xiao Lan walked over to the restaurant first.

His footsteps stopped in the hall.

Because there is no need to go to the restaurant now, the butler is lying in the center of the hall at this moment.

The butler lies on a Persian rug previously collected by the crows, hands on his chest, cradling a book that the players have.

His expression looked serene, as if he was asleep.

But his chest has stopped rising and falling, and the blood on his face has faded.

Xiao Lan stepped forward to check and found that the housekeeper was dead, but there were no wounds on his body.

He was, as the book says, "dwelled in eternal dreams."

Then take out "Mingyue Pavilion" and compare it to the pattern that has already lit up on the cover.

Xiao Lan suddenly felt bad.

The death of the housekeeper seems to be a hint to the players that as long as enough people die, the patterns on the book can be lit up. When all the patterns are lit up, the book should be finished.

Readers come with the goal of Crow's new book, and when the book is complete, their goal is also accomplished.

For players, there is a high probability that this is the meaning of customs clearance.

In the entire Mingyue Pavilion, they only saw one NPC, the butler, and the others were players who acted as readers.

It is self-evident who will die next.

In this way, players will not hope that other people will die in front of them.

Even, under the conditions, do not hesitate to push.

Could it be that there are enough people waiting to die?

But Xiao Lan didn't know how many people came in.

If there are no 13, wouldn't it be impossible to pass the customs?

Or if there are only 13 people, do they have to die to meet the clearance conditions?

And the game seems to have never had a precedent for letting players kill each other as a clearance condition.

I always feel that there should be some other way to pass the customs.

"You... are you human?" A voice interrupted Xiao Lan's thoughts.

The question is quite tricky, making people wonder what kind of answer he really wants to know, and there is even an urge to say "no".

Xiao Lan turned her head and saw a man who was not tall but had well-combed hair.

This man's eyes lingered between the corpse on the ground and Xiao Lan, and he didn't dare to approach for a while, as if he didn't know whether Xiao Lan was a ghost or a murderer.

Xiao Lan asked, "What's the matter?"

The man looked at Xiao Lan up and down again, and after confirming that he was a normal-looking person, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He pointed to the body of the housekeeper on the ground: "Then... is he dead?"

Xiao Lan nodded.

The man hesitated for a while before coming over: "Are you an advanced player? You look amazing at first glance. It's amazing that you're still so young."

Xiao Lan didn't understand for a while, isn't this a high-level field? If you catch anyone who is not a senior player, what is this person talking about?

He looked at this person again, and finally read something from the other's cautious and somewhat calculating and expectant eyes.

This person should not be a high-level player. don't know how he got in, and he is currently trying to hug Xiao Lan's thigh.

Seeing that Xiao Lan didn't speak, the man said again, "Oh, I'm really miserable to tell you, really."

"I got a rare item, and then a high-level player found me and said that as long as I gave him the item, he could take me through the high-level field once, which would make my combat power increase rapidly,"

"As a result, I gave him the props, and he just disappeared today. You said it was miserable."

Xiao Lan understood, this is another junior player who is good at opportunistic tricks.

It's just that this person is more daring and wants to eat a fat man in a high-level field, but he didn't expect Mingyue Pavilion to separate the players.

But it is estimated that the player who claims to be able to take him through the customs has no good intentions. It is easy for beginner players to die when entering the intermediate field, let alone the advanced ones. What is the difference between delivering food.

Seeing that Xiao Lan didn't respond to his miserable sale, the man continued: "Actually, I still have a rare item. If you take me through the customs, I will give it to you, how about it?"

Xiao Lan raised her eyebrows, unmoved.

Not to mention the difficulty of the advanced field, he would not allow him to lead people through the border. Whoever believes this kind of empty cheque is stupid.

Seeing Xiao Lan's expression, the man gritted his teeth and continued to release new bait: "Don't look at me like this, I'm actually a stockbroker, you can find out by asking about Long Shiren's name. If you take me through customs, I will How about taking you to invest, to ensure a steady profit without loss."

This person is too foolhardy, and no one who has played stocks dares to say that.

Long Shiren seems to be used to opportunism, and he still does not change this habit after entering the world of advent.

But he didn't understand that the only thing he could rely on when he came to the world was his own strength.

Xiao Lan said the truth: "I don't need money."

Money will stain his noble and poor temperament, resulting in deduction of poverty value.

Seeing that this person is simply insufferable, Long Shiren became irritable: "Aren't you a senior player?! You are so powerful, what's wrong with saving me!! I think you are selfish!! You are cold-blooded!!"

"Can you be a little sympathetic, so you won't accumulate virtue for yourself?!"

Long Shiren said it plausibly, standing on the moral high ground and degrading Xiao Lan's personal accomplishments are worthless.

In fact, it was just for him to take advantage of it.

I don't think that it is because of my miscalculation of speculative risks that I am in a dangerous situation.

Facing this scene, Xiao Lan just said calmly, "Oh."

Long Shiren: "..."

Why doesn't this person play cards according to the routine?

Shouldn't he feel ashamed, or reach out to help himself out of moral pressure?

Why is it just one? Oh your uncle!

Xiao Lan doesn't mind helping players, but has no interest at all in rescuing those who kill him.

Since Long Shiren dared to gamble, he must have the courage to take the risk of losing the gamble. Xiao Lan has no obligation to wipe his ass.

What's more, this arrogant attitude.

His originally calm eyes changed instantly, he glanced at Long Shiren with a bit of coldness in his eyes.

To deal with this kind of person, it is useless to talk to him.

Better to use physical persuasion.

Xiao Lan still took out the [Dalit Bone] with a calm expression, switched to the blade form, and held a beautiful knife flower in his hand.

The pale bone blade drew a cold light.

Long Shiren wanted to stop after a wave of incessant talk.

Years of speculation and cheating experience told him: run, you have overturned.

Long Shiren turned around and ran straight away. His short legs were still very fast, and he ran away almost instantly.

Xiao Lan: "..."

Really able to bend and stretch.

But just after the other party turned around and ran away, he found a dark handprint on Long Shiren's back, and the man seemed to have no idea about it.
