Who was this Number Four? With this question in mind, Gu Fei rushed out of the guard room, ready to go down to the first floor to find that guy.
The government office was quiet. The guards stood on both sides. Although they were humanoid, they were still lifeless machines. Gu Fei ignored the machines and quickly rushed down the stairs. He passed through the hall and saw the short and dark corridor from the back door.
Gu Fei concluded that Number Four was still here. Judging from his actions of killing Number Two, this was already a PK without any profit or purpose, and he even paid 100 gold coins for it. If that was the case, it could only be his hobby. It was something he found interesting. Killing Number Two was interesting, and killing Gu Fei was the same. So he would definitely wait here for Gu Fei to come back and ambush him.
Gu Fei had been squatting there for more than an hour, and he was familiar with the view outside through the crack of the door. Gu Fei used Teleportation to flash past the area covered by the crack of the door, and continued to move forward carefully. But wouldn't it be too easy for him to PK this guy? Gu Fei wondered if there was a better way to punish him. Gu Fei looked around the corridor. He saw the door handle and the wall lamps on both sides of the wall. Gu Fei suddenly had an idea.
Gu Fei walked to the door quietly and took out a long rope. He tied it to the door handle. On the other side, Gu Fei looked at the wall lamp …
If he pulled it over and tightened it, the gap between the door and the wall would become smaller. Even better, the ceiling of the corridor was protruding downwards. If he pulled the door to the end, it would form a perfect structure, making it impossible for him to jump out. So, being trapped in this dark and narrow space seemed like a good punishment.
This was Gu Fei's plan. The next thing he needed to do was to fix the other end of the rope to the wall lamp. He couldn't do this without being seen by Number Four, so he had to be fast.
He grabbed the rope and quietly waited for the cooldown of Teleportation to end. This was the fastest way to move. When Number Four saw it, reacted, and responded, it would be enough for him to complete what he needed to do.
Cooldown ended!
Gu Fei took a deep breath and looked at the wall lamp. He stretched out his finger and whispered softly, without missing a beat.
The wall lamp was right in front of him. Gu Fei's teleportation sent him straight to a comfortable height. His arm quickly reached out and the rope wrapped around the wall lamp. Gu Fei grabbed the rope with both hands and pulled it tight as he fell. This was also to test whether the connection between the wall lamp and the wall was sturdy enough. If it was easily torn off, then it was naturally impossible to trap the person behind the door. The only way was to go up and hack the person to death.
The test was perfect. The wall lamp was so sturdy that Gu Fei could hang from the rope. Gu Fei deftly tied a knot and happily landed on the ground. He could already hear the muffled sound of the door behind him, followed by someone shouting, "What's going on???"
Number Four's voice.
Gu Fei became even more cheerful and said with a smile, "It's me!"
"Who? Number Nine? "Number Four behind the door asked.
"That's right."
"You're back? Come and help me take a look. There's something wrong with this door, "Number Four said.
Gu Fei laughed. This fellow seemed to be slower than he had thought! Did he not see that someone was messing with the door? Or was this fellow tricking him to come closer? Did he have some kind of trick up his sleeve? With that thought, Gu Fei didn't move and said, "Let's make a bet. Let's bet on whether or not Number Two is behind the door. I think he is."
"Then I can only bet that he isn't?" Number Four said.
"So if you win, your reward is to continue to stay behind the door," Gu Fei said.
There was silence behind the door.
"You definitely didn't expect Number Two to have already added me as a friend, right?" Gu Fei said. He had specifically confirmed this with Number Two, but Number Two clearly said that he didn't reveal this information. This was also the main reason why Gu Fei was sure that Number Four would still be waiting for him here. Number Four thought that Gu Fei didn't know about Number Two's death and would come back here without any suspicion.
"Stay here for now! When I have time and I haven't forgotten, I might come back and let you out. If you really can't wait, you can try to forcefully log off, "Gu Fei said as he prepared to leave. He didn't think there was much to say to Number Four.
"Hey! Hey!! "Number Four shouted from behind the door. Gu Fei ignored him and left without looking back.
The corridor at the back door returned to normal. The lights on both sides of the wall continued to flicker, casting the ropes that Gu Fei pulled out onto the walls on both sides.
The door was suddenly pushed open. It wasn't the side that Gu Fei pulled tight, but the other side of the door.
Number Four stood quietly next to the door and looked at the rope that was stuck to the wall and its blurry shadow on the wall opposite her.
Shadow. What Gu Fei ignored was the shadow.
From the moment he arrived at the back door, even though he didn't appear in his field of vision, Number Four had already noticed the presence of someone from the shadow on the wall.
He still didn't know who this person was. At first, he thought that if this person continued to walk down the corridor, he would eventually be exposed to his field of vision. Unexpectedly, the shadow on the wall suddenly flickered, and this person's shadow suddenly moved forward a few meters.
Gu Fei used teleportation to jump out of his field of vision, but Number Four quickly grasped two pieces of information from this flickering shadow.
The person had this special way of moving at high speed. The person knew that he was behind the door and had ill intentions, so he purposely moved out of his field of vision and didn't let Number Four see him.
Only Number Two and Number Nine would know that he was at the back door.
Number Two had already been sent to the resurrection point, and Number Nine shouldn't have any ill intentions towards him, but he suddenly did. That could only mean one thing: he knew that he killed Number Two.
How did he know? Obviously, Number Two told him after the two of them added each other as friends.
With just a shadow that jumped a few meters away, Number Four immediately deduced the above conclusions, and none of them were wrong.
So when Gu Fei was planning how to fix the door, Number Four, who was only one door away from him, was already on guard.
Even though he knew that the person was not friendly, he still didn't know what Gu Fei was going to do. He was curious, so he quietly watched from behind the door, and was fully prepared to escape at any time.
So, just as Gu Fei moved to pull the rope, Number Four immediately darted out from behind the door.
Gu Fei had to wind the rope, tighten it, and tie the knot. There were quite a lot of procedures that required some time. The reason why he felt that he could make it in time was because he was certain that Number Four would be caught unprepared behind the door. It would only take a few seconds for her to react to this sudden situation. He didn't expect Number Four to be prepared. He moved, and Number Four immediately rushed out. In a few seconds, he had moved to the other door. Number Four's movements weren't slow at all.
For Gu Fei, who was a few meters away, the conversation that followed seemed to have come from the opposite direction. The distance between left and right was only the width of a corridor. If Gu Fei stood closer, he would have noticed it. Unfortunately, he didn't move forward, and Number Four purposely didn't make him suspicious.
So Gu Fei left, and Number Four walked out from behind the door. Looking at Gu Fei's design, he clicked his tongue. "That was close, I almost got trapped in here. This kid is too much." Number Four pulled the rope, and both ends were very sturdy. If he really got trapped behind the door, there was really nothing he could do.
"This guy, I need to kill him!" Excitement appeared on Number Four's face. "This guy has a good relationship with Number Two, so he will definitely think of a way to help Number Two complete the mission. As for Number Two's mission, I am quite clear … So, I already know where you are going. "
Number Four thought as he left the back door.
Gu Fei walked up the spiral staircase. He wasn't done with Number Four. For him, he still had to eliminate Number Three, find Number Six, and find the things that Number Two needed.
What is the purpose of this mission? Am I an NPC that serves the players? Gu Fei thought with tears streaming down his face.
The first thing he had to deal with was Number Two's mission. Originally, he thought that this mission was about stealing, so he wouldn't be able to get any clues from the guards in the hall. In the end, Gu Fei just wanted to give it a try and asked casually. He didn't think that he would actually get the information he needed. There might be some clues on the top floor.
This was really out of Gu Fei's expectations. As he reported the good news to Number Two, he heard Number Two analyze the situation. "If it was me, don't even talk about asking, the guards would probably chase me when they see me … It's probably because it's you, so it's just a normal item. Your question is also a normal inquiry, so the NPC gave you the answer, right?"
Gu Fei felt that it made sense, and he couldn't help but feel that the parallel world was really a new way of thinking in online games. The clues that the person doing the mission couldn't get could be found by someone else. This way of thinking was really too reverse. Even veteran players like Brother Sword Ghost You wouldn't have thought of this.
A moment later, Gu Fei arrived at the top floor. The space on the top floor was narrow and low, and it seemed to have been abandoned for many years. Cobwebs were everywhere, and Gu Fei coughed and felt his face covered in dust. What made him even more pessimistic was that there wasn't a single NPC on this floor. Didn't this mean that he could only bury his head in search, and not ask for information?
As for the item that Number Two needed, it was a secret map, a piece of paper, a book, or something else. Number Two's mission notification did not specify what it was, so Gu Fei could only look for it with a bitter face. In a short while, his clothes were already covered in dust.
"Half a candle", "Rusty nails", "starved rat", "burnt wooden stick" … There were so many named items in the trash heap on the top floor. Gu Fei suspected that this was a specially designed place by the system to hide quest items, and then let the players find it.
After rescuing a "trapped butterfly" from a "broken cobweb", Gu Fei shone a "weak ray of sunlight" through a "hole in the roof", and found a "torn page" in a "broken wooden table" and a "drawer that protruded half out".
