Who was this Number Four? With this question in mind, Gu Fei rushed out of the guard room and prepared to go down to the first floor to find that guy.
The government office was silent. 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 the short, dark corridor that he had entered from the back door appeared in front of him.
Gu Fei was sure 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 had even paid 100 gold coins for it. In that case, it could only be his hobby, something which he found very 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 from 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 cautiously. 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 lamp on both sides of the wall. Gu Fei suddenly had an idea.
Walking to the door quietly, Gu Fei took out a long rope and 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 narrower. What was even more amazing was that the ceiling of the corridor was protruding downwards. If he pulled the door all the way to the end, it would form a perfect structure. So, being trapped in this dark and narrow space seemed like a good punishment.
This was Gu Fei's plan. Next, he had 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 waited for the cooldown of Teleportation to end. This was the fastest way to move. By the time Number Four saw it, reacted, and responded, it would be enough for him to complete what he needed to do.
The cooldown was over!
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 to an extremely comfortable height. With a quick flick of his arm, 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 on the rope. Gu Fei quickly tied a knot and happily landed on the ground. He heard a muffled thud from the door behind him, followed by someone shouting, "What's going on?"
Number Four's voice.
Gu Fei became even happier and said with a smile, "It's me!"
"Who? Number Nine? "Number Four asked from behind the door.
"That's right."
"You're back? Come and help me take a look. There's a problem with the door. "Number Four said.
Gu Fei laughed. It seemed that this fellow was much slower than he had imagined! Didn't he see that someone was messing with the door? Or was this guy tricking him to come closer? Did he have some other tricks up his sleeve? With that thought, Gu Fei didn't move and said, "Let's make a bet. Let's bet 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 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 think that Number Two and I had already added each other as friends, 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 to release you. If you really can't wait, you can try to forcefully log off. "Gu Fei said as he prepared to leave. He didn't feel like there was much to say to Number Four.
"Hey! Hey!! "Number Four shouted from behind the door. Gu Fei ignored her and left without looking back.
The corridor behind the door became quiet again. The lights on both sides of the wall continued to flicker. The rope that Gu Fei pulled out was projected 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 by 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 corridor behind the 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. He thought that if this person continued to walk down the corridor, he would eventually be exposed to his field of vision. However, 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. However, Number Four quickly grasped two pieces of information from the flickering shadow.
The person had this special high-speed movement method. The person knew that he was behind the door and had malicious intentions, so he intentionally moved away from his field of vision and didn't let him see him.
The only people who would know that he was at the back door were Number Two and Number Nine.
Number Two had already been sent to the resurrection point. Number Nine shouldn't have any malicious intentions towards him, but he suddenly did. There was only one possibility: 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.
Therefore, 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. He was completely prepared to escape at any time.
Therefore, when Gu Fei teleported 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 off guard by this sudden situation. It would only take a few seconds for Gu Fei to judge the situation. He didn't expect Number Four to be prepared. He flashed, and Number Four rushed out immediately. In a few seconds, he flashed to the other door. Number Four's movements weren't slow at all.
For Gu Fei, who was several meters away, the conversation that followed was coming from the opposite direction. There was only the width of the corridor between the left and the right. 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.
Therefore, after Gu Fei left, Number Four walked out from behind the door. Looking at Gu Fei's design, he was amazed. "That was close. I almost got trapped here. This kid is too much." Number Four pulled the rope. Both ends were very sturdy. If he really got trapped behind the door, there was nothing he could do.
"This guy, I need to kill him!" Number Four's face was filled with excitement. "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'm quite clear about it … so, I already know where you are going. "
Number Four thought about it and left the corridor.
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 the mission was about stealing, so he wouldn't 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 expect that he would actually get the information he needed. There might be 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's analysis. "If it was me, don't even talk about asking, the guards would probably kill me when they see me … probably because it's you, that's why it's just a normal item. Your question is also a normal inquiry, so the NPC gave you the answer, right?"
When Gu Fei heard that, he couldn't help but feel that the parallel world was really a new way of thinking in online games. Clues that the person on the mission couldn't get could be found by others by asking. This thinking was really too reverse. Even veteran players like Sword Demon Brother You definitely wouldn't have thought of it.
After a while, 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. There were cobwebs everywhere. Gu Fei coughed and felt his face was covered in dust. What made him even more pessimistic was that there was not a single NPC on this floor. Didn't this mean that he could only bury his head to look for it and not ask for information?
As for the item that Number Two needed, what kind of secret drawing material was it? Was it a piece of paper, a book, or something else? Number Two's mission prompt didn't specify it either. Gu Fei could only look for it with a bitter face. In a short while, his body was covered in dust.
"Half a candle", "rusty nails", "starving rats", "charred wooden sticks" … the named items and props in the garbage pile on the top floor were really endless. Gu Fei suspected that this was a special design by the system to hide the mission items and then let the players find it.
After rescuing a "trapped butterfly" from a "broken cobweb", Gu Fei shone a "weak beam of sunlight" through a "hole in the roof" and found "a broken piece of paper" in a "broken wooden table" and "a drawer that stretched out in half."
