Chapter 22 Dungeon Forbidden Area
"Are you looking for me?"

Leaving the lobby on the first floor, Jiang You saw that Liu Qing had changed his position. He was leaning against the wall and could not see this position from the window of the experimental building.

Liu Qing looked her up and down. As Jiang You came closer, Liu Qing was dizzy at the sight of the swaying leaves and green peppers.

He pressed his eyebrows, unable to ignore Jiang You's green light in the sunlight, and asked, "Is it blinding you?"

Jiang You blinked and said that you are just an ordinary NPC student who even knows the names and functions of the props in the game mall.

She touched the leaf pattern on the side of her neck and took off the "one leaf blinding her eyes".

Jiang You pretended to be mutated just to prevent other players from paying too much attention to her.

Now it happens to be study time, and due to rules restrictions, players cannot leave the teaching area.

Jiang You is not worried about being discovered by removing the "one-leaf blindness" effect here.

She was even more curious as to why Liu Qing could tell at a glance what props she used.

The distance between the two of them was not so close that the "One Leaf Blinder" function would fail.

Jiang You asked, "How did you find out?"

Liu Qing looked at the leaves and green peppers in her hand, and said with a smile: "There is no precedent for mutating into plants in this college. Your pepper should be the only one."

He thought for a while and then continued: "Well, that doctor must like you very much."

Listening to Liu Qing's words, Dr. Xiao appeared in Jiang You's mind instantly.

Last night in the psychological consultation room, Dr. Xiao's attitude did indeed change a lot after she revealed that what she saw was chili pepper.

She originally thought it was because chili peppers are an all-purpose ingredient that is used in many places, but she actually started directly from the plant species, which was the only one.

Dr. Xiao's excited and caring attitude also has an explanation.

I'm afraid that as soon as she mutates completely, she will be captured and studied.

What would happen if Dr. Xiao found out that she was fake?

Jiang You shuddered. She felt that she should avoid appearing in front of Dr. Xiao in the few days before leaving the dungeon.

Liu Qing stopped smiling and said, "Okay, no joke, I want to ask you for a favor."

"Oh?" Jiang You looked up.

Liu Qing: "Speak in another place, you come with me."

Jiang You followed Liu Qing and walked about a dozen steps along the wall at the back of the laboratory building.

Liu Qing turned to face the wall, knocked a few times on the top of his head, and a door suddenly appeared on the wall.

He opened the door with the key and walked in.

Jiang You found that the key was the same as the one Liu Qing gave her, with the tooth marks on it arranged in exactly the same height.

Jiang You silently took note of where Liu Qing tapped.

The door behind him was closed, and Jiang You's eyes fell into complete darkness.

She heard a click on the left, and Liu Qing turned on the light in the secret room.

This is a laboratory.

In a small space, there are glass vessels filled with liquids of various colors.

A man in white was tied to a chair, his head was tilted to one side, and he was in a coma.

There is a line of blood on the edge of the ear of the man in white, and a gray rabbit ear grows at the place separated by the line of blood.

There was a familiar bamboo cage on the ground.

The large colorful rooster originally contained in the cage was placed on a long table, motionless.

The place where its wings were broken was no longer bleeding, its eyes were open, and it blinked occasionally, but there was no other reaction when it saw Jiang You and Liu Qing coming in.

This is the player who was taken away from the experimental building, and the NPC in white who took him away.

Jiang You's eyes lingered on the NPC's gray rabbit ears for a moment. She quickly looked away and asked Jiang You: "How can I help you?"

Compared with Liu Qing, who can build his own laboratory at the back of the college's laboratory building and dare to kidnap NPCs.

Jiang You couldn't imagine that he needed help from him for anything.

Liu Qing: "I want you to help me find something. It's in the forbidden area of ​​the academy. I can't enter that place."

"Academic forbidden area? Where?" Jiang You was confused. Since entering the dungeon, she had not discovered that there was a forbidden area in the academy.

Could a place like the Forbidden Land, which sounds very critical, be the "resting place" suggested by the game?

Jiang You became interested.

The game prompt sounded at this time, confirming her thoughts.

[Congratulations to the player for reaching 40% of the progress of the side mission. 】

Her doubtful voice didn't sound like a fake. Although Liu Qing was surprised, Jiang You didn't know the forbidden area, so she explained: "The college planting area, the forest you went into."

"That forest belongs to the danger zone of this dungeon, and it hides the secrets about the truth of the dungeon. If you want to get more rewards at the time of settlement, you must enter the danger zone. Successfully solve the puzzle of the dungeon, you can Receive additional special rewards.”

Although Liu Qing had helped her, Jiang You still couldn't fully believe that there was no good intentions for no reason in this world.

Liu Qing knows much more about the rules of the game than she does, yet he claims that he is an NPC, which is suspicious.

Moreover, she has personally experienced the danger of that forest, and Jiang You cannot guarantee that she will be able to return safely after entering the depths.

Jiang You asked back: "Is there a special reward? Why don't you go by yourself?"

Liu Qing didn't care about Jiang You's doubts, and said, "So you might think I'm lying to you. The danger zone of the dungeon suppresses NPCs, and I can't get into the depths."

"Actually, you are right, I was indeed a gamer before."

Jiang You: "Before?"

Liu Qing smiled wryly: "I am the last batch of players who entered this dungeon. All players who failed to clear the level will be left in the dungeon, the game number will be erased, the props and skills will be recycled by the game, and they will gradually forget their identity as players. Become a game NPC."

Jiang You raised his head: "But you still remember."

"Because I stayed in the dungeon voluntarily," Liu Qing sighed, and said, "I can't let him stay in the dungeon alone. For so long, I have been looking for a way to restore the player who turned into an NPC."

"And if you want to recover, you need to first remove the mutations that have occurred in his body. Only by getting the original body of the induction material can I find a way to make a recovery agent."

Jiang You looked down and found that special material, isn't this the same as her side mission?
If Liu Qing helps, her probability of completing the task will definitely be much greater.

Jiang You: "I believe in you, but I may not be able to help you. Since you are the last batch of players who came in, you must know that entering the forbidden area will reduce the spiritual value, and there are still some unknown existences in the forbidden area. After you find the induction material, you can still come out alive."

"You don't have to worry about this. Since I'm asking you for help, I can't let you fall into danger."

Liu Qing took out a white silk thread, "I call it a silk thread. It can connect two different people. Within a hundred meters, the two can teleport each other. After entering the forbidden area, if you are in danger, you can use the silk thread to , transmitted directly."
