Chapter 116 The second copy
Chapter 116 The second copy
A few days have passed in the blink of an eye.
The Xia family's incident did not cause much disturbance, after all the news was suppressed, and those who wanted to make trouble at that time had already entered the situation.
After that, Mr. Xia opened the safe left by his wife. It is said that there were only gifts from Mr. Xia when the two got married.
To say that the biggest problem was that young master Xia Xi, who attended the banquet that day, suddenly became unconscious. It is said that he was too frightened during the banquet.
As for Gu Wuji, although it caused fluctuations at that time, he believed that everyone would forget his identity as time went by.
Those in the Xia family who want to be the heir are all eager to cultivate a relationship with Gu Wuji, but they don't know Gu Wuji's real identity at all, and they can't find him at all.
And Xia Yangshuo, the only one who knew Gu Wuji's real identity, didn't reveal anything about it even when he was killed.Others thought that he shamelessly blocked the news because of his good relationship with Gu Wuji, but only Xia Yangshuo knew...
That Master Gu is actually a man!The request made by Mr. Xia is destined to be fulfilled by no one.
Gu Wuji caused an uproar in the Xia family, but after that, he spent a very leisurely time. In addition to doing his own work, he also exchanged copies with the teammates he met in the virtual world from time to time. experience.
Of course, careless experience is of no reference value at all.
At this time, Lu Yuanzhou, who had done dungeons together twice before, came to invite Gu Wuji again.
"It's definitely a good thing for me to come to you this time!" Lu Yuanzhou's tone was still very excited, he felt that he finally came to Gu Wuji for something good.
After the previous dungeon ended, the conflict between Lu Yuanzhou and the organization became more and more difficult to reconcile, and he finally chose to leave.
Of course, Lu Yuanzhou was still planning to find a new organization to hang out with. At this time, he came into contact with a very powerful organization by chance. It is said that the senior members of this organization even have senior players.
After completing a certain level of dungeons, intermediate players will inevitably be arranged by the system to advance into dungeons. Only by completing the specified requirements can they become advanced players. Still an advanced copy.
And this promotion dungeon is very mysterious, extremely difficult, and daunting.If you can get online with experienced advanced players, it will undoubtedly become a lot easier.
Lu Yuanzhou is also about to be assigned to the promotion dungeon, so he made up his mind to join this organization.
But of course it is not so easy to get into such an organization.There are some trials to go through, and when Lu Yuanzhou was preparing for this trial, he immediately remembered that he hadn't organized it yet.
In his view, Gu Wuji's strength is already so strong, and it has caused so many amazing incidents, it must be more than enough to enter this organization through trials.
Gu Wuji was also very interested in hearing Lu Yuanzhou's words, and immediately asked him about the content of the trial.
"Speaking of which, this trial is not too complicated, as long as you enter the intermediate dungeon designated by them to get one thing." Lu Yuanzhou said.
Of course, there must be some danger in this, but which dungeon can guarantee that nothing will happen to you, it is better to seize this opportunity.
"That's not a problem." Gu Wuji nodded, he was quite interested in this dungeon and organization.
In short, as long as you don't let him go to the world of the last copy, it doesn't matter if you don't care.
After all, if he went to the world of the previous dungeon again, it would no longer be considered a death, it would be suicide at all.Surrounded by a few ghosts, I don't want to encounter it again.
After discussing it, after a period of time, Gu Wuji used the last method again, and entered a dungeon with Lu Yuanzhou.
…………
……
After Gu Wuji woke up, he immediately found himself in a hall.The hall is white as far as the eye can see, and there are no decorations in it, which is extremely simple.There is only one entrance and exit, and it doesn't look like a door that can be cracked by brute force at all. It needs to be unlocked with fingerprints.
He looked down and saw that he was wearing a white coat, clean and tidy, giving people the feeling of a doctor or a scientific researcher.
The few people standing around were also dressed in similar clothes, and they all looked dignified.According to Lu Yuanzhou, the purpose of these people coming here is the same, they are all to obtain that certain thing, so as to enter that organization.
And there seems to be only one thing like that, and at most two people can only be allowed to join the organization together.Therefore, the dungeon has not officially started, but when they are introduced to each other, there is already a faint sense of competition among the people.
Most of the people here seem to be quite famous, although Gu Wuji doesn't know him at all... After all, his understanding of other players is really limited, and if he has the time to watch other people's videos, he might as well try to figure out the characters of the new script shape.
When Gu Wuji used the pseudonym of his grandson, the surrounding people looked at him with surprise. Obviously, these people also knew about the relationship between Gu Wuji and the mountain god... Although the last dungeon was even more exciting, But because the second half of the screen is all black, outsiders only know what happened earlier.
As a result, these people were somewhat contemptuous of Gu Wuji, thinking that although he was quite famous, he must have some strength, but he was obviously not comparable to the others present.
When Lu Yuanzhou saw Gu Wuji, he immediately nodded to him.Then there was a look of indifference, as if the two of them didn't know each other at all.
The two agreed before entering the dungeon. In this dungeon, they will pretend to be strangers as before, and they can help each other if anything happens.
[You are special personnel hired by a big family with a high salary. You are sent to this remote research institute located on the edge of a cliff by the sea. The name is to let you study some rare creatures, but this research institute has long been in trouble. What's more, you have never been in touch with related things, and you don't know anything about this aspect of knowledge.What's more frightening is that it is said that the researchers who left from it either fell into madness or disappeared by themselves. ]
[But even if you have doubts in your heart, all you have to do now is to perform your duties. After all, the money given by the research institute is extremely important to you. ]
[Trigger the main task: complete the work assigned by the research institute. ]
After hearing the dungeon introduction, everyone didn't change much in expression. Before they came, they more or less knew the background of the dungeon through various means.But I really didn't expect that this dungeon would directly point out that they don't have any research knowledge...
Gu Wuji had found clues about this dungeon before coming here.It stands to reason that some ordinary dungeons have many people clearing the level, more or less there will be some videos, and some people will come out to express their thoughts on clearing the level.
But this dungeon is extremely mysterious, and there is no news from the outside world.Of course, there are such copies... After all, the copies of this game are constantly being updated, except that the old copies will disappear due to various reasons, and new copies will continue to appear.
After all, from Gu Wuji's point of view, there are so many ghosts in the world of these dungeons, and it is normal to trigger a few new dungeons from time to time.
The clue purchased from the system mentioned the story of the daughter of the sea. The story ended after the little mermaid got the dagger given by her sister, which seemed to imply something.
Coupled with the fact that this is a research institute by the sea, Gu Wuji has already vaguely guessed about the contents of this dungeon.
Could it be that the existence studied in this dungeon is a mermaid?
Or it may be to save someone, but in the end he was caught in this research institute and became a researched existence, and because of his resentment, he made him take revenge on human beings.
Thinking about it like this is quite possible, Gu Wuji decided to wait until he entered to see if he could find more things.
Then the door of the hall in front of them was opened, and a handsome young man with pale blond hair hurried in, claiming to be the director, and they would assign their work next.
Completely different from the serious researcher that everyone thinks, his clothes are now draped over his body in a mess, and there are still water stains on the white clothes, his hair looks messy and has not been taken care of, and the whole person looks like a This kind of casual atmosphere seems very approachable.
"I'm sorry for being late by accident. There was something wrong with the test product just now." The blond young man showed an apologetic smile, "I'm Fiona, you can call me whatever you want."
But everyone was keenly aware of the experimental product mentioned in the NPC's words, and they already had some ideas in their hearts.
When entering through the gate, Fiona reached out and pressed her fingerprint on the lock beside the door, and then said in a relaxed tone: "Your fingerprints have also been entered into the system. But because you just came here, you don't have any authority. Come find me if you want to go out."
Listening to what he said, the others already felt troubled. According to Director Fiona, they were almost imprisoned here, and they couldn’t leave even if they wanted to leave. If they encountered any fatal danger at that time, Wouldn't it be big trouble.
"Of course, as long as you work hard and don't make any mistakes, your authority will be raised soon." Fiona said with a smile as if she knew what they were thinking.
When everyone heard this, many people were already thinking about tying up this NPC to open the door when it really didn't work out.But no one will do this kind of thing unless it is absolutely necessary. After all, who knows if this NPC is a human or a ghost, if he accidentally binds a BOSS, he will kill himself.
This research institute is quite large, and the outside world can only see the first floor on the top of the cliff, but there are several floors inside.
Entering the cliff through the elevator, before everyone heard Fiona's introduction, several staff members rushed out with pale faces. They were all stained with blood, and they looked very embarrassed.
"Director Fiona, the experiment over there is out of control again!"
Listening to these people's anxious words, Fiona remained calm, smiled and said to everyone that he had something to deal with, and then assigned a random researcher to take them to visit the research institute.
Compared with Fiona, who is quite individual and approachable, the others are all indifferent, as if they don't want to deal with the players... But this makes the players feel a lot more at ease, like Fiona Character is what makes people suspicious.
Someone tentatively asked the researchers what happened to the accident just now.
The researcher just said indifferently, "This is just a very common test product out of control. It's nothing to be surprised about."
"But the blood looks too scary, will something happen to someone..."
"Injured people will be sent to the outside world for treatment. Moreover, our institute also has complete medical facilities and experienced doctors, so there is no need to worry about such problems."
Afterwards, everyone made all kinds of insinuations, but they couldn't ask anything.
Players' residences are all single rooms. Although they are not as luxurious as hotels, the conditions are very good. Although they cannot communicate with the outside world, they still have entertainment such as watching TV, movies and playing games.
As for the three meals, they are in the staff restaurant, where there are rich food delivered from outside, and you can also give your opinion to name what you want to eat, and the chef cooks it fresh. If it’s easy, you can bring your own nutrient solution out to drink.
In addition, there are various facilities such as a gym, and the benefits are quite good.
In addition, there are very high annual salaries and bonuses, and huge compensation will be paid to the researcher's family if an accident occurs.
Apart from the lack of freedom and the inability to communicate with the outside world, the job is perfect.But obviously, this is no ordinary research institute at all.
According to Fiona's disclosure, and the information they received before, this research institute exists to study certain rare creatures... According to past experience, the research institute's research is estimated to be some kind of monster, or simply a ghost.
It is impossible for the players to really work here, things will definitely change within a few days, if they can't find more clues while completing the work within a few days, they will probably die in an accident later.
What's more, they have no relevant experience in this field. It is estimated that the people in this institute just want them to die.
Gu Wuji's assigned job was to ask him to go to the office to sort out the materials.The other players were more or less assigned jobs, but at the beginning these jobs were not directly related to the researched creatures.
If it is in reality, everyone will definitely start complaining about whether the funder behind this research institute is out of his mind, what is the reason for spending so much money to hire talents.
Gu Wuji came to the office, this job is shockingly simple, as long as he can read and have basic common sense, he can complete it.Besides him, there was a taciturn brown-haired woman in the office.
The brown-haired woman's skin was very pale, and cold sweat flowed down from time to time, looking like she was sick.
Gu Wuji tried to communicate with the brown-haired woman, and greeted tentatively, "Hello? You don't look well, do you need to take a break?"
But the other party didn't mean to talk to him at all, but when his eyes swept over, he couldn't help but scrutinized Gu Wuji's face a few more times.
After all, admiring a handsome guy is still a pleasure for the body and mind.
Gu Wuji saw that the other party really had no intention of communicating with him, so he began to carefully look at the materials in his hand, trying to find some clues from them.
However, the reality is cruel. Gu Wuji couldn't understand all the data above. He realized that he had to find an NPC in the dungeon to help him interpret it.
The brown-haired woman looked at Gu Wuji's concentration, and suddenly said, "You're not here just for work, right?"
"What?" Gu Wuji looked at the other party.
"I've seen too many. Those people sneaked into this dungeon, thinking that they could find something that would make them famous, but ended up buried here." The brown-haired woman whispered, her eyes staring at Gu Wu Counting, "...you will become one of them too."
Gu Wuji: "Thank you for your reminder."
"I'm not reminding you." The brown-haired woman frowned, and said again: "I just want to tell you, don't think that the errands here are so good... It's better to find a chance to escape from here, and the farther you get away, the closer you will be." good."
After this sentence, no matter what Gu Wuji asked, the brown-haired woman didn't speak again, and her face became more and more ugly, as if she was getting more and more uncomfortable.
Of course, it is impossible for Gu Wuji to leave. Of course he is very clear that there will be dangers here, but even without the constraints of the main mission, Gu Wuji's character will make him stay here to reveal the truth.
This first day was just for him to get used to it, and soon it was time to get off work. When Gu Wuji was about to go out of the room, he suddenly seemed to hear the sound of water flowing away from his ears, but he listened carefully. , but hear nothing.
"what is that……"
In reality, he might suspect that he was hallucinating, but in the dungeon, every detail has its own meaning.
The brown-haired woman behind noticed Gu Wuji's strangeness, and looked at him in astonishment, "Did you hear that?"
Gu Wuji felt something immediately, and asked the brown-haired woman carefully, "Do you know what that is?"
The latter immediately shook her head, as if remembering something extremely frightening, "I don't know, I don't know anything." She picked up her bag and hurried out, when passing by Gu Wuji, it was almost light An inaudible voice sounded: "If you... see him, absolutely don't..."
Before Gu Wuji had time to call her back, the brown-haired woman had already disappeared around the corner.
"What exactly did she mean?" Gu Wuji was even more confused.
Gu Wuji came to the staff cafeteria. At this time, everyone else was basically staying here. He sat down on the seat diagonally opposite Lu Yuanzhou as if nothing had happened. The two casually exchanged what happened today as if they just knew each other.
"My task is to clean up a certain room." Lu Yuanzhou frowned, his face was very ugly, "There is a huge sink in that room, but there is nothing in it, the things inside are really difficult to clean up, and some of them look like internal organs, flesh and blood Of course that should be feed for that creature."
In such a supernatural dungeon, this so-called fodder makes people wonder.
If Lu Yuanzhou hadn't been well-informed and had relatively good psychological quality, he would probably have had psychological shadows when he saw that scene.
"So that's the case." Gu Wuji nodded, and told about his meeting with the brown-haired woman.
As for the others, I don't know if they are refusing to exchange information with others because they are competitors or because they already know something in their hearts.And they are very confident, after all, they think this is just an ordinary intermediate dungeon, and they must have no problem passing it.
This attitude made Lu Yuanzhou sneer again, let alone mid-level dungeons, even if these mid-level players are allowed to go to low-level dungeons, accidents will easily happen... These people will have to pay for their arrogance sooner or later.
It doesn't matter to Gu Wuji, if others don't want to talk about it, they don't talk about it, and it doesn't have much to do with him.
Everyone was eating dinner quietly. Suddenly, a researcher at the next table suddenly changed his face and lay down on the ground, covering his ears, with an expression of panic, screaming and wailing from time to time.
"It's not me, it's not...don't come to me!!"
The people around immediately tried to appease this person, but it didn't work at all. The researcher's emotions became more and more crazy, and finally he picked up the small knife used for cutting food on the table next to him, and stabbed it into his heart.
With the blood splattering out, the researcher finally showed a look of relief on his face, and his expression was very peaceful when he died.
The expressions of the other people looking at him were very complicated. Compared with sympathy, they seemed to be more worried about themselves, and amidst the fear, there was a hint of envy.
This discovery could not help but make players shudder.What are they envious of?Was death a kind of relief for these people?
The researcher's body was quickly taken away, and the scene was cleaned up. Everything returned to calm quickly.The other researchers were also numb, as if the person who had just died was not alone.
The players suddenly became serious because of this sudden change. From the attitudes of these people, they can infer that such things must have happened many times before, which is why these people are so numb.
At this time, Director Fiona also rushed over, and hurriedly comforted everyone, saying that he would give them a bonus, and at the same time expressed regret for the death of the researcher, and finally said: "Maybe it's because I stayed in the confined space for too long. There must be a problem. Everyone must be careful, and if you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me."
Everyone smiled and nodded on the surface, but no one knew what was going on in their hearts.
After washing up, everyone was arranged to rest in their respective rooms.
Gu Wuji went into the room and lay down, it was fine anyway, he closed his eyes and got ready to sleep.
While half asleep and half awake, he suddenly felt as if he was submerged in water. The water flowed over his body, and Gu Wuji couldn't help holding his breath.
He wanted to open his eyes, but he felt that his eyelids seemed to be heavy and he couldn't move at all. In contrast, the singing voice that sounded at an unknown time rang in his ears more and more clearly.
The voice was gentle and pleasant, not at all like the sound that humans could make, but more like the sound from the mouth of some kind of creature that shouldn't exist in this world.
This song has a deep bewitching meaning, which makes the consciousness of the listener gradually fade away, as if sinking into the deep sea with the song.
