Chapter 18 Puppet Tourist Town (16)

Wen Yan chose the former and paid [-] points for the room fee.

Because the double room that Wen Yan stayed in before had not been renewed and could not be opened now, she and Su Yun went upstairs. Su Yun took out the notebook in the drawer and asked Wen Yan to write an IOU.

It’s not clear whether the points can be traded. I only signed a paper IOU, but when the two of them signed their names, they heard a system notification at the same time——

[It was detected that the player Wen Yan signed an agreement with the player Su Yun. The player Wen Yan and the player Su Yun shared a night. The player Wen Yan will pay one hundred points for the accommodation fee. Since the player Wen Yan's points are zero, the player Wen Yan's copy will be settled. At that time, the system will automatically transfer [-] points to the player's Su Yun account. I wish the player a happy game]

Wen Yan's face turned pale, and he seemed not ready to actually pay Su Yun one hundred points.

Su Yun raised his eyebrows and looked down at the IOU in his hand. Although he had considered that the notebook in the drawer was essentially a copy and might disappear, he never expected that the system could actively supervise points transactions.

After all, Su Yun put the IOU in her phone case, took some clothes from the closet, and went into the bathroom to freshen up. She needed to temporarily put on the clothes conjured by the hotel, change out of her long skirt, wash it and dry it.

The temperature in the room is suitable, and her long skirt is not too thick. It can be dried overnight and hung in the bathroom. If the situation last night happens again in the middle of the night, she can remind herself in time.

Su Yun was a little curious. If someone like her informally shared a room with other players, when she got up in the middle of the night, the layout of the room would be half her room layout and half the layout Wen Yan was familiar with.

After Su Yun packed up, Wen Yan was no longer in the room. She went downstairs and went to the hotel restaurant to eat. Every time she passed the staff restaurant of the Puppet Theater, she always felt extremely hungry. She couldn't skip dinner.

In the hotel restaurant, Fang Yi and others were also having dinner here. Not surprisingly, Wen Yan sat next to Fang Yi, glanced at Su Yun, and quickly looked away.It seemed like he had done something bad.

Fang Yi greeted her very naturally, and Su Yun nodded in response. He took the dinner plate and chose a few staple dishes. He sat in an unoccupied seat and saw Song Xiaoling moving over with her own dinner plate and sitting next to Su Yun. beside.

Song Xiaoling seemed to be in good condition, and she seemed to have forgotten her earlier fear. She called Sister Su Yun, and then said to her: "Mengmeng got off work early. She counted today and there is one less player coming in. Something might have happened."

Su Yun paused slightly. He saw the real danger of the copy tonight. If he had reacted slower, he probably wouldn't be in the hotel now, which was a bit sad.

Including her, there are 12 players left alive, one of whom is doubtful.

Putting aside the abnormality of the first night, is a B&B really that safe?It's cheap and safe.

Moreover, the man tried his best to recommend to other players to rent together. He looked very much like the receptionist who had promoted her to her in the first place, and was unkind.

Song Xiaoling added: "Sister, you are so kind. You are so powerful. You are not afraid at all, and you actually protect me. If you and Brother Fang didn't pull me away, I probably wouldn't be able to see Mengmeng." The lights of the restaurant were shining brightly. Next, her eyes were shining, full of gratitude, and a little bit of admiration.

She is really a simple little girl, Su Yun thought. With a little help, she can trust others wholeheartedly in such a dangerous situation.

Trust is valuable, but blind trust can cause problems.

Su Yun was silent for a moment, but still reminded: "Pay attention to safety." She couldn't really lose her trust in others.

There is no difference between her reminding and not reminding. As for Fang Yi, Su Yun vaguely felt something was abnormal, but he couldn't tell.

Fang Yi wants her to form a team together, why?She is just a new player, what benefits does it bring to experienced players?
Maybe Fang Yi is really a good person.But it doesn’t hurt to be careful.

Song Xiaoling's gratitude almost overflowed, "I can do it, sister! Sister, please also pay attention to safety."

Su Yun smiled, "Yes, I will."

After finishing the meal, Su Yun returned to the room. The layout of the room was still the same as her room, with no changes. Wen Yan entered the room after a while. Su Yun found a nightgown for her and took out another. The two of them were on the same bed, each covered with a quilt and had nothing to do with each other. Wen Yan was grateful on the face, but a little awkward.

After turning off the lights, Su Yun began to review.

Her guess was indeed correct. High-level tasks would not be that simple. Escaping danger could be regarded as eliminating an error.

The ancient puppets on the third floor, the puppets that may exist in the abandoned hospital, the weird puppeteer who chases the players in the puppet theater at night, the secrets of the mission puppet tourist town, and the envelope in the desk.

The puppet's wish...belongs to the puppet Aya's wish.

Su Yun thought carefully, and some thoughts flashed through his mind, too fast to catch.

In addition, for another task, Aya's requirement is that she can perform on stage. Some puppet plays require a puppeteer to sing on behalf of the puppets to tell the story, while others do not and only use movements to express a simple story. s story.

Most of the spectators in the theater watched performances that required puppeteers to sing, but Zhang Mu was not in a hurry to ask Su Yun to learn singing. It seemed that she needed to take the initiative to mention learning singing, otherwise she might not be able to pass the task.

How could the inheritance of the puppet show be careless? As far as the existing intangible cultural heritage she knew, the master was also strict with his apprentices. Since they insisted on it, they would not be willing to see their apprentices pass on the intangible cultural heritage and not be successful.

After a moment, Wen Yan suddenly spoke: "Sister Su, I heard Song Xiaoling say that you were particularly powerful today, and you were particularly calm in front of the monster. You also taught her how to operate the puppet and saved her at the critical moment."

Su Yun didn't say anything, and Wen Yan added, "Song Xiaoling said that Sister Su, you received the mission, but none of us did."

"Sister Su is so powerful and lucky. Brother Fang said that in the dungeon, in addition to the main missions, other missions may drop skills and props. However, it depends on luck. Some new players may not be able to trigger it after several games."

She paused and said, "Sister Su, will your missions drop props? Or skills?"

Su Yun: "..." It turned out that he was waiting for her here.

When Fang Yi learned that she might have received the prop mission, her reaction was a bit strange. She was even happier than she was about getting the skills herself, and even mentioned it specifically.

Since points can be traded, then... it is not impossible that the skills and props obtained by other players in the game can also be traded, or that they are "forced" to be traded.

In silence, Wen Yan waited for her answer.

What if she answered skills and props?Will Fang Yi change his attitude, for example, stop inviting her to form a team again and again?

Sounds pretty good.

Su Yun thought for a while and said: "It will drop props."

"The task has a time limit. If you don't complete it within the stipulations, you will be hunted down by the person who issued the task. You may not be very lucky."

The benefits and risks are equal. If the task is not completed, it is not a misfortune.

What she said was true, but she only took apart half of it. As for the skills, Su Yun doesn't plan to tell anyone now. If she can really snatch them, she doesn't know if the skills are easy to use. Even if she gets the skills, the risk of her death is very high.

Wen Yan got the answer and fell silent. Su Yunqiang cheered up. It might be dangerous tonight. At this time, he should pay attention to the changes inside and outside the house to prevent monsters from intruding. But he couldn't help but fixed the physiological alarm clock. In the case of sleepiness, There is always a problem of getting sleepy when in bed.Su Yun was about to fall asleep when he heard the person next to him say: "Sister Su, you are also a new player, aren't you scared?" Wen Yan hugged the quilt tightly in the dark, making a rustling sound from the fabric. sound.

Su Yun, who was sleeping lightly, regained his energy in an instant.

"She died right in front of my eyes. I watched her neck being bitten off by the monster. Her eyes were looking at me until the end." Wen Yan's voice was light and trance-like.

Su Yun blinked and tilted his head slightly. Through the moonlight coming in from the window, he could vaguely see Wen Yan pulling up the quilt and covering his nose and below, leaving only a pair of eyes, unblinking, seemingly still. There is a faint watery light.

It is normal for a girl in her twenties who has just entered college to come to a place like this inexplicably and see such a bloody scene with her own eyes. It is normal to feel helpless and scared, but...

"It's useless to be afraid." Su Yun stated the facts.

There was a dull sob under the quilt, and after a while Wen Yan added: "Although I don't know her, she and I have just entered college, and we both want to go back. On the first night, I was so scared that I couldn't help but hide under the quilt. I was crying, and it was she who comforted me. Our universities are very close to each other, and we made an appointment to meet each other after the copies were released." Her voice was muffled and nasal.

"But I did nothing for her and watched her die."

"I could obviously have caught her earlier."

Su Yun took a breath of silence and sighed, "Sorry, go to sleep."

"Sister Su, do you know? Brother Fang is willing to help me. He is the only one willing to help us in a place like this."

Su Yun heard what she said was somewhat unclear.

Wen Yan turned his head and looked at Su Yun: "Sister Su, why are you willing to let me stay?"

Su Yun immediately replied: "You paid the room fee."

"You also know that my room rate is very expensive, costing 1000 yuan a night."

Wen Yan's voice was low: "Sister Su, your salary is enough. You can definitely pay for the room. If you take me in, we will all be together tonight..."

Su Yun interrupted her and said seriously: "You need to pay me one hundred points, it is not free."

Wen Yan was silent for a moment, and then said, "What if I don't survive until the dungeon is settled?"

Her tone was surprisingly calm, "You will get nothing."

Su Yun's eyebrows jumped. Wen Yan's mental state was obviously not right. She thought for a moment, turned sideways, stretched out her hand from the quilt and patted Wen Yan gently. She said softly: "Go to sleep. Since you are alive, then try your best to live." .”

Wen Yan: "Sister Su..."

She was a little moved when she heard Su Yun continue slowly: "When the copy is settled, the system will automatically transfer [-] points to my account. You can't default on the payment."

Wen Yan: "..."

Wen Yan finally fell asleep. Su Yun exposed the person's still covered nose to prevent her from suffocating herself to death in advance and causing her points to be completely wiped out. Then she lay still and listened carefully to the sounds outside the house.

The hotel was quiet at night. There was no other sound except the breathing of the people around him. The furnishings of the room had not changed. Su Yun waited, his eyelids trembled, and finally fell asleep.

In my sleep, I vaguely heard Su's mother's gentle voice again.

"That's it, when we went out to eat, mom made your favorite mapo tofu and fish-flavored shredded pork, as well as other dishes you like. Come and try to see if mom's craftsmanship has deteriorated." As these words fell. , it seems that there is a strong fragrance penetrating into the nose. It is her favorite mapo tofu made by Su’s mother, fish-flavored shredded pork and other dishes.

Su Yun felt the familiar hunger in his sleep. Because the bed was too soft and warm, Su Yun moved but did not get up.

Mother Su's voice was very gentle, "So, if you don't come out to eat, the food will be cold and unpalatable."

Su Yun turned over in a daze, "Mom, you eat first, I will eat later, and I will sleep for a while, just for a while."

Mother Su was silent for a while, "Be good, eat before going to bed, don't starve your stomach."

Su's mother's voice was very gentle, and Su Yun could get a signal to protest, so he planned to stay in bed.

But Su Yun still woke up because he was shaken awake.

Su Yun sat up and rubbed his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he saw Wen Yan looking out the door with a bit of messy hair, "Monster, the monster is coming!" She tried her best to lower her voice, but she couldn't. the fear in.

Su Yun: "..." Although it's true, it's Mother Su's voice outside, and something doesn't sound right.

Su Yun raised his hand and made a silent gesture, signaling Wen Yan to keep quiet. The latter understood, and wrapped himself in the quilt, covering his mouth with both hands, only revealing a pair of eyes looking at Su Yun.

Mother Su's voice still came from outside the door, "So, Mom, I thought about it for a while. Mom should respect you and come out to eat. Tell your mother what you think. Let's talk about it, okay?"

Su Yun's mood was very complicated. After moving out from home, her relationship with her family was not as close as before. If they chatted, no matter what the topic was, it would eventually involve that aspect, and they would eventually break up.

This is what she always wanted to hear.

Su's mother was able to calm down and talk to her carefully instead of just asking her to follow orders and blaming her for her faults.

Monsters also know what others desire most, which is not good news.

But strangely, there was a bit of gossip in Wen Yan's eyes now. He looked less scared and seemed to be able to hear the sounds outside the door.

It seems that people who have not registered at the front desk are not affected.

Mother Su outside the door spoke for a while, all Su Yun wanted to hear, and she was gentle as if the previous unpleasantness had not happened at all. If this were not in the dungeon, Su Yun would have opened the door long ago.

Most likely, Su Yun never opened the door or spoke. There were clear sounds of leaving footsteps outside the house, and the surroundings fell into silence again.

Although Wen Yan was curious, he didn't ask about other people's personal affairs.

After a while, when the two of them were drowsy, they suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps. Then, the door was knocked vigorously, and the knocking was urgent and heavy, with no pattern.
