Chapter 217 Life is a Play (13)

“Ahem.” Wen Chan cleared her throat. After comforting Zhong Lian, she was scolded and behaved herself.

She let go of Zhong Lian, turned around and asked Pang Li and Yang Qiao, “Did you have a dream last night?”

Pang Li replied: “What’s your question? There are very few people who don’t dream when they sleep, right?”

“Also, who is this man?”

She pointed at Zhonglian.

This is not in the same group with them at all!
Wen Chan said calmly: “This is my family member, you don’t need to worry about it.”

Zhong Lian was a little unhappy at first, but she was coaxed into calm down when she heard the word “family members”.

Family members seem to be closer than boyfriends.

Pang Li was speechless for a moment.

You can tell at first glance that Zhong Lian is an NPC here. Being a family member of an NPC, is that crazy?
No matter how handsome he is, he is just another member of the copy and it is impossible for him to be with her for the rest of his life.

But then again, it’s pretty cool to have a one-night stand with a handsome NPC in a dungeon and then leave when the mission is completed!
Pang Li brainwashed himself and actually felt like he had suddenly been enlightened.

Suddenly I don’t find it so difficult to understand Wen Chan’s behavior.

“It’s really strange to talk about dreams.”

Pang Li was still thinking, and Yang Qiao said, “I had nightmares last night, and I almost died several times in my dreams. I thought I was conscious and should be able to control my dreams, but I couldn’t wake up no matter what. I thought I was under too much pressure, but it turns out there is a problem?”

Wen Chan did not give a definite answer, but glanced at Pang Li.

Pang Li was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, “I have also been having nightmares. I dreamed that a ghost was chasing me. I was running in the dream and was even caught. Now when I think about it, my arm still hurts a little.”

She lifted her sleeve and took a look, and saw three bloody scratches on her arm.

Pang Li’s eyes widened, and the next second, the scratches disappeared again.

“Did you see it?”

She turned sideways to let others see her arm. “Just now, there were traces of being scratched by a ghost here! And suddenly it’s gone!”

Others saw it, of course.

The moment she lifted her sleeves, she seemed to smell blood.

Pang Li’s face turned pale instantly. “It seems that Jiao Si had a nightmare and was killed by ghosts in the dream, so he died suddenly.”

“This method of killing is too hard to guard against.”

Fortunately, they woke up this time. If they died in the dream, they would have died inexplicably like Jiao Si.

Qin Ji had dark circles under his eyes and raised his hand to press down the brim of his hat.

He didn’t sleep last night, so he didn’t experience this situation.

Wen Chan touched his chin and was unusually silent.

She also had a dream last night, but it seemed that she herself had become the evil ghost that chased and tortured people.

She nudged Zhong Lian gently with her elbow and asked in a low voice, “How do you feel when you woke up today?”

Zhong Lian blushed and whispered back, “Yes! But Chan Chan has already helped me solve it. Can I solve it again tonight?”

Wen Chan: “…”

He was talking about the exercise he did this morning.

Wen Chan’s face turned red, “That’s not what I meant.”

She pulled Zhong Lian and turned him around, lifted his clothes and took a look at his belly.

Zhong Lian glanced back at the others nervously, afraid of being seen by them.

Everyone: “…”

If you don’t look back, they will pretend not to notice. But once you look back, it will be difficult for them to pretend not to see it!
What are these two lunatics doing in broad daylight!
Qin Ji was right indeed!

Both of them are sick!
Seeing the speechless expressions on their faces, Zhong Lian quickly turned around, grabbed her clothes, and whispered, “Chan Chan, they are all watching.”

He said this in a shy way, but he pulled his clothes with his hands to make it easier for Wen Chan to see.

There were no other strange marks on his abdominal muscles except for Wen Chan’s bite marks.

In my dream yesterday, she tied Zhong Lian up tightly. Sometimes she hung him on the beam, sometimes she threw him into the water, and sometimes she tied him up in the woods. Judging from Pang Li’s condition, he should have marks of being strangled on his body.

Could it be that the harm in the dream only happened to her? And she happened to be the abuser and escaped?
Fortunately, Zhong Lian in the dream was very obedient, otherwise she would not be standing here intact.

Wen Chan hugged Zhong Lian lovingly, “Good baby.”

Suffered in her dreams.

“Chan Chan you…” Zhong Lian looked back at everyone else awkwardly, seeming very nervous.

But the words in his mouth were, “Then kiss me.”

Wen Chan pushed his face away and said expressionlessly, “You are not ashamed now.”

“…”

Zhong Lian staggered when she pushed her, and she quickly pulled her clothes together, pursed her lips, and pretended nothing had happened.

Humph, I knew that Chanchan was lying when she praised him!
“So the solution to this problem is to not sleep for the time being?” Pang Li asked.

“No one will stop you if you want to sleep,” said Yang Qiao.

He asked Wen Chan and Qin Ji again, “What did you two dream about last night?”

Qin Ji: “I didn’t sleep.”

Wen Chan: “I didn’t sleep either.”

Zhong Lian: “? If you two didn’t sleep, then I didn’t sleep either.”

Everyone: “…” Who asked you!
“So you knew this would happen?” Yang Qiao frowned.

Qin Ji put his phone back in his pocket and said sarcastically, “You were invited into a house by a stranger and arrived in an unfamiliar environment. Not only did you not have any sense of vigilance, but you also questioned people who were vigilant? I doubt whether you are old players.”

Yang Qiao and Pang Li were speechless.

Who could have imagined that today’s murder methods are so pervasive?

You must be suspicious of the people around you and be highly vigilant towards NPCs. If you don’t pay attention to the surrounding environment, you will die without a complete body.

Now I have to be careful even when I sleep.

If eating, sleeping and going out are dangerous for them in the future, doesn’t that mean they have no way to survive?
You could have just let them die directly, but you had to create a copy to play a trick on them.

“So what exactly do we need to do to leave here?” Pang Li grabbed his hair in frustration.

She felt sick at the thought that if they couldn’t get out, they wouldn’t be able to sleep.

Without any tasks or hints, they were now completely confused.

Wen Chan picked up her suitcase and handed it to Zhong Lian, and asked casually: “Haven’t you opened the suitcase to check it?”

Pang Li and Yang Qiao looked at each other in surprise, “Is there anything else in there?”

Wen Chan: “This is not our own suitcase, it was given as a gift from the dungeon. You guys don’t even look at such an important clue, what are you waiting for?”

Without saying a word, the two of them went back to their rooms and dragged out their suitcases.

To be honest, they used to think it was troublesome and wanted to give up.

But thinking that I didn’t know how long I would be here, I should at least have some clothes to change into, so I took it.

Now that we tell them there might be clues inside, they really don’t know how much they have missed!
The two opened the box in front of everyone.

Just like Wen Chan and Qin Ji, there were some things that could hold photos mixed in with the pile of clothes.

Pang Li’s was a photo album, and Yang Qiao’s was a mobile phone like Qin Ji’s.

The photos in the two people’s photo albums were also taken from various angles by the Zhonglian Opera Troupe.

Pang Li took out a photo, held it up, looked at Zhong Lian, and compared it with the photo.

“Is he from the theatre?”

They all watched the performance last night, but Zhong Lian performed in women’s clothing for less than two minutes before leaving the stage, so she didn’t recognize her when they first met.

Now that I see the photo, I’m sure it’s true.

Wen Chan reached out and took the photo from her hand and took a look at it.

It was a photo taken from a candid angle. Zhong Lian was standing in the audience with his hands in his pockets, looking at the stage. A hint of melancholy could be vaguely seen from the expression on his profile.

“It’s a pretty cool shot.”

Wen Chan confiscated the photo and said, “Give it to me.”

Pang Li: “?” She walked to Zhong Lian’s side and slapped the photo on his chest, “Your photo is beautiful, keep it well.”

Zhong Lian picked it up and took a look at it with some doubt, her face slightly reddened, “Chan Chan, you really are…”

Wen Chan covered his mouth and asked him to look at the photo, “You are really handsome when you don’t speak!”

Even with her mouth covered, Zhong Lian still wanted to say, “So you don’t like me being spoiled?”

Men who act like a spoiled child have the best life!

Haven’t you heard of it?
Wen Chan said seriously: “Don’t act like a spoiled child anytime and anywhere.”

She still likes it at certain times.

Zhong Lian curled her lips and put the photo into her pocket.

I don’t know if he listened to Wen Chan’s words.

The photos in Yang Qiao’s mobile phone were also some performance photos of the troupe, nothing new.

Qin Ji even went to the room and moved out Jiao Si’s suitcase. When he opened it, he was surprised to find it was empty.

Several people looked at the bed in the room at the same time, but Jiao Si’s body was no longer there.

After a player dies, their bodies will disappear in this dungeon, and now even their belongings cannot be left behind.

However, based on the clues from several people so far, they all point to Zhong Lian’s opera troupe.

The meaning is very clear, let them investigate the opera troupe.

“stop looking.”

Wen Chan saw that the others were staring at Zhong Lian, so she called out to call their attention back.

“I’ve already investigated.” She blocked Zhong Lian behind her.

Qin Ji knew about this last night, but he didn’t react much.

The other two were still squatting on the ground, looking up at her with confused faces.

Wen Chan said: “The two lost children were in the troupe and went back last night. It’s that simple.”

“So their troupe is the legendary group that specializes in begging for money?” Pang Li exclaimed in shock.

It’s hard to believe that Zhong Lian is so beautiful, how could she do such a cruel thing?

“No.” Wen Chan explained, “The two kids went there on their own. It had nothing to do with the troupe.”

This argument is not very convincing.

But the child went back, which means this clue is useless.

Wen Chan thought about it and said, “If you two have nothing to do, go and keep an eye on the North Courtyard. I will keep an eye on the child’s follow-up.”

“Of course, if you think I did this to embezzle the points I earned from completing the mission, you can investigate it yourself.”

She made things very clear: either you stay put and listen, and wait to win without doing anything.

Either you take action on your own, or no one will care if something goes wrong.

Pang Li and Yang Qiao looked at each other, neither of them spoke.

Wen Chan took Zhong Lian away.

Qin Ji thought for two seconds and followed.

After leaving the East Courtyard, he whispered, “Do you believe that they will go to the homes of those two children to inquire about the situation in a while?”

Wen Chan didn’t react much, “Well, what’s wrong?”

Their brains are in their own heads, and Wen Chan can’t stop them from thinking or doing anything.

Qin Ji said: “I shouldn’t tell them, it would alert the enemy.”

He just doesn’t quite trust these young people.

They are all conceited and think they are the chosen ones and that all difficulties can be easily solved.

Actually, it’s hard to put it into words.

When others go through a dungeon, they would think about meeting some young people for convenience, but Qin Ji doesn’t think so.

He always felt that these people were very capable of causing trouble.

It’s easier to deal with someone who is timid and obedient.

When you meet some troublemakers, they are just courting death at every step, and you never know when they will bring trouble to your teammates.

Qin Ji felt from the beginning that these three teammates were not easy to deal with, so he always kept his distance from them.

Wen Chan smiled and said, “Boss Qin, sometimes it’s not necessarily a bad thing to alert the enemy.”

“Some snakes may not bite people. Only if we drive it away can we pass safely.”

Qin Ji: “…”

He looked at Wen Chan in surprise.

Very novel idea.

In Qin Ji’s eyes, Wen Chan has always been a clever woman. She always manages to find out some information that other players don’t know, by some unknown means.

This information is very useful, so Qin Ji thinks it’s no big deal to spend some points to buy it.

Only now did he feel that Wen Chan was more than just a little clever.

No matter what happens, she seems to have a plan for it.

She considered the consequences of every step she took, and the results were always in her favor.

It’s no exaggeration to say that he is very scheming.

Qin Ji was still thinking when Wen Chan’s complaining voice suddenly rang in his ears.

“If you can’t even lift a box, then you can’t even carry me. What’s the point of having you?”

Qin Ji turned his head and saw Wen Chan taking the suitcase from Zhong Lian with an unhappy face.

Zhong Lian immediately said: “I can hold Chan Chan!”

Wen Chan said angrily: “Then you can’t lift the suitcase!”

Zhong Lian curled her lips, “They are not the same thing.”

Wen Chan tilted her head and glared at him, “You mean, you can hold me but can’t lift the box, right? I think you just don’t want to work!”

She kicked the box towards Zhong Lian’s legs, then jumped directly on him and hugged his neck tightly with both hands.

Zhong Lian caught her with one hand, and with the other hand, she held the handle of the box she kicked over, and whispered, “It’s much lighter this way.”

Wen Chan was held by him and couldn’t help but scold: “You are really sick!”

He couldn’t lift one box at a time, but he felt very relaxed with one box per person.

“I think you just want to take advantage of me!” Wen Chan said firmly.

Zhong Lian blinked and looked at Wen Chan’s angry face, grinning, “This is not a secret. We are boyfriend and girlfriend. What’s wrong with taking advantage of me?”

Wen Chan: “…”

Seeing her silence, Zhong Lian said, “You just looked at my belly in front of others, and I wasn’t angry. You can’t even let me hug you?”

Wen Chan kicked her legs in his arms, “So what are you doing now!”

Zhong Lian: “This is what I got for being miserable!”

If he hadn’t said that he couldn’t lift the box, she wouldn’t have been angry, and if she wasn’t angry, she wouldn’t have jumped on him.

So this is the hug he earned!

Wen Chan moved her lips, then lay in his arms, but said nothing.

After a while, as if she was getting angry, she turned her head and bit his neck.

Zhong Lian narrowed her eyes in pleasure, “Chan Chan, take off my collar and bite it. The clothes are hard and hurt my teeth.”

Wen Chan: “…” Damn it.

Beating him, scolding him, or biting him can make him feel good!

Qin Ji stopped at the north courtyard gate and was too lazy to follow.

He took back his previous thoughts. This was just a love-brained person!

If someone as naive as Zhong Lian can accept it, she will succeed in whatever she does.
