MTL - Be a Social Cow In An Infinite Game-Chapter 2 Entering the New World for the First Time (2)

Xia Zhiyi really did not expect that the reunion after breaking up would be such a scene.

Jing Ruyu is neatly dressed and bright, she is an urban beauty.

And she, Xia Zhiyi, was wearing loose pajamas and shorts, a pair of dog slippers on her feet, and her hair was messy like a chicken coop.

Comparing the two, she is extremely tragic.

In fact, she doesn't really care what to wear to see Jing Ruyu, but she has to care about Jing Ruyu's expression after seeing her.

The tightly pursed lips and furrowed brows all sent a signal to her—she didn't want to see her.

Xia Zhiyi was in a daze for a moment, and after she realized it, she looked away aimlessly at her surroundings.

In the end, she really paid the wrong price, and they forgot about her as soon as they broke up, and they didn't even want to see her...

She didn't step forward to question Jing Ruyu irrationally, but tacitly kept the distance between the two of them, forcing herself to look around.

The points are divided, the past has gone with the wind, and the other party doesn't care anymore, so why should she care?

It's still a matter of figuring out where this is most important.

Here the morning light is faint, and the sky has just dawned.

In front of them was a large mansion, exactly the same as the one seen in the TV series, with a plaque on the heavy door with the word "Gu Mansion" written on it.

The Gu family seemed to be having a happy event, not only the pillars were tied with red cloth, but even the two stone lions at the gate were covered with red hydrangeas.

Everything looked cheerful.

However it was very quiet around.

Different from the tranquility when waking up in the morning, this place is eerily and strangely quiet, more like the calm before the mountain rain is about to come, even the festive Gu's mansion has an indescribably gloominess, which makes people feel inexplicably cold.

Xia Zhiyi hugged her arms and rubbed them slowly, trying to find some warmth.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps.

She turned her head to look, and saw Jing Ruyu took off her coat and was handing it to her.

"Give."

The long-lost care brought a question to Xia Zhiyi's mind: in an unfamiliar environment, should I want the clothes handed over by my ex-girlfriend or not?

Then a new question popped up: she didn't want to see me, why did she give me clothes to wear?

The eyes met, and a subtle embarrassment suddenly floated in the air.

Xia Zhiyi was not very comfortable.

After a moment, she frowned slightly and suspiciously.

Jing Ruyu understood it instantly, and there was a relaxed smile in her mature voice: "We've met for a while, so it's okay to lend you some clothes, right?"

Then he looked her up and down: "Or do you want to just freeze like this?"

"Of course I don't want to. I want to live a long life," Xia Zhiyi felt a little awkward, but accepted it calmly, "Thank you."

Jing Ruyu was dressed much thicker than her, with a long sleeve underneath, so she didn't worry about catching cold.

It is not the time to lose your temper in an unfamiliar environment. Those who know current affairs are heroes, and they don’t wear white or white clothes.

Her vacation is just about to begin, and she doesn't want to die of cold in this strange place first.

She had just put on her clothes when a misty voice suddenly sounded in her ears—

【Are you regretting your choice?

【Do you feel pain because you can't control your body?

【Have you seen death and feel unwilling because life is short?

[It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, this is the 'new world', the new life you are looking for is here, and it is waiting for you not far ahead!

[Lucky ones who have been selected, you only need to complete the task and live until the end, and you will be able to welcome your new life! 】

Immediately afterwards, the voice added with a mysterious smile: [Don't die, you will never have another chance if you die.

[Treasure life is everyone's responsibility, I wish you success to the end, hee hee. 】

Everyone was shocked by this unknown voice.

Xia Zhiyi blinked, turned to look at Jing Ruyu, and asked for proof, "Did you hear that?"

Jing Ruyu nodded.

Not only her, but everyone present heard it. It was like a broadcast that surrounded them in all directions, leaving them nowhere to hide.

"This broadcast..." Xia Zhiyi opened her lips, "It's so yin and yang."

Jing Ruyu: "?"

She suddenly felt a little funny.

Others are afraid because they don't know where the sound is coming from, but her focus is here?

That's right, her girlfriend—the ex-girlfriend's ability to focus on the key points has always been slanted, which is very good.

Soon the broadcast came again, this time in a calm, normal voice.

[The players are all here, the dungeon is officially launched, the following is a novice guide.

[After entering the new world, the player needs to complete the task issued by the task NPC, find the ferry within the specified time, board the ship smoothly during the opening time of the ferry, and then pass the level. 】

[Tip: When looking for the ferry, players can pay attention to the sound of water.

[Note: The opening time of the ferry will be prompted later in the game, please listen carefully.

[Note: The form and identity of the task NPCs in each copy are different, please do not make a fuss. 】

[Next, ask the task NPC to start issuing tasks—]

The broadcast stopped abruptly, and the heavy door of Gu Mansion was opened, and a brightly dressed little girl walked out from inside.

Judging from the broadcast, this little girl is probably the mission NPC.

In fact, Xia Zhiyi still didn't understand what this new world was, and the rest of the people obviously didn't understand either.

But they were keenly aware of an unusual ray of danger.

To be able to do so many strange things, this new world is definitely not easy.

Xia Zhiyi tightened her clothes in silence, and calmly watched the task NPC walking towards them.

Don't panic before encountering problems, it is the best policy to calmly observe.

"Welcome, distinguished guests from afar," the NPC grinned, "Thank you for coming all the way to our lady's wedding.

"I am the housekeeper of the Gu residence. I have full authority over the affairs of the residence. I know everything from top to bottom. You can call me Xiaoqiao.

"In the next few days, I will arrange your food, clothing, housing and transportation, please follow me in first."

After Xiaoqiao finished speaking, she turned around and went up the stone steps again, regardless of whether they followed her or not, she went straight to the door.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and hesitated to stay where they were, not knowing whether to go in or not.

At this moment, thick white mist suddenly surged from the left and right sides.

The dense fog came menacingly, indifferently and quickly, like an attacking beast, trying to swallow them all in one fell swoop.

[Dense fog filled the air and there were many dangers. Players are requested to follow the mission NPC and not stay where they are.

[Treasure life is everyone's responsibility. 】

"Walk."

Jing Ruyu spoke concisely.

Xia Zhiyi raised her legs almost instinctively and followed.

Others looked at me and I looked at you, and eventually followed suit.

Only one man in a suit hesitated between going and staying.

Everything happened so suddenly and against science, he no longer knew what to do.

—What if it is the Gu family who is really in danger? !

After this idea came up, he hesitated even more, and stopped unconsciously, without moving forward.

He didn't dare to move, and he didn't dare to gamble...

"Snapped!"

His ankle was suddenly grabbed by something.

His gaze moved down instinctively, and his eyes instantly opened wide—it was a hand!

This hand was incomplete, under the rotten flesh and blood, the white joints could be seen faintly, and when it came out from the cracked ground, it carried a tyrannical ferocity.

Then the seam became bigger and bigger, a rotten face was squeezed out, the limp carrion was torn, and the expression was so distorted and terrifying, it made people feel scared and nauseated.

The next second, it suddenly opened its mouth and bit the man's leg fiercely!

"what-!"

Screaming erupted behind them, Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu turned around and saw a man in a suit rushing out of the fog in embarrassment. vomit.

Two people: "..."

"Yes, there are ghosts, ghosts..."

He pointed at the dense fog tremblingly, his face was full of horror, a section of his trousers was torn off, and there were a few thin red bloodstains on his ankles, which was enough to prove how terrifying what he just encountered was.

Standing in front of the Gu Mansion, Xia Zhiyi followed and looked back.

The originally flat road was already covered by thick white mist, and the mist stopped in front of the stone steps of Gu's mansion, lingering and lingering.

In the mist, there was a faint "click" sound of joints turning.

Listen carefully, and there is a gloomy and low sound of exhaling.

Strange, terrifying, and cold, like countless monsters dormant, it's creepy.

The cold air went straight to Xia Zhiyi's bones, she couldn't imagine what she would be like if she was a little later.

"Be vigilant," she heard Jing Ruyu beside her say to her with a rare solemnity, "here is to do everything possible to survive.

"Because only by living here can we live in the real world."

An elusive sentence.

Xia Zhiyi turned to look at her, wanting to ask something, but didn't have time.

Xiaoqiao was already standing behind the door and urging them to come in: "If the distinguished guests don't come in, we will close the door. The house is busy with affairs, and I don't have much time to spend time here."

There was a personal test by a man in a suit, and this time everyone decisively followed into Gu's residence.

The Gu mansion is very large, and Xia Zhiyi couldn't tell how big it was, but he could clearly feel the smell of money.

All the servants of the Gu family came and went in the corridor, their faces were in a hurry, and none of them stopped to be curious about their strangely dressed distinguished guests.

However, under the blue sky and broad daylight, the Gu mansion is inexplicably shrouded in an indescribable coldness, the coolness creeps into the bones of the person, making the back of the neck feel chilly.

After entering the mansion, Xiaoqiao led them to the residence, talking to them while walking.

"My young lady will get married in three days, and the new son-in-law will marry, and the wedding banquet will be held at the residence.

"My master loves our young lady the most, he will give you whatever you want, so this wedding will be held grandly to reflect our young lady's noble status.

"You are distinguished guests from afar. The master hopes that you can stay to attend the wedding banquet three days later, so please be sure to stay in the mansion on the wedding day to attend my lady's wedding."

【叮咚—

[Congratulations to the player for triggering the main plot. 】

Xia Zhiyi frowned.

"Ah yes."

Xiaoqiao stopped suddenly, turned to look at them, and grinned.

"Because the banquet is very grand, the arrangement is unavoidably cumbersome, and the mansion is not enough, so...you also need to help."

Xia Zhiyi: "?"

What's the point of asking distinguished guests to help with the arrangement?

Did she remember her calling them "guests"?

The rest of the people were obviously confused by her words, and only Jing Ruyu said: "Your master doesn't seem to be short of money, so you can continue to invite people from outside the house to help. Why do we have to participate?"

The small and round eyes swept towards her at once, staring at her fixedly, without much emotion in the eyes.

After a while, Xiao Qiao finally smiled, and said as it should: "Of course it's because there are too many clumsy people, so there are always not enough people.

"The wedding can't be delayed. I hope that all the honored guests are quick-witted people."

Xiaoqiao didn't say anything more, turned around and continued to lead them to the wing.

On the way, Xia Zhiyi could sense that Jing Ruyu was leaning towards her, and then she heard her whisper, "Whatever you do in a while, be careful."

Thinking of the man in the suit just now, Xia Zhiyi subconsciously grabbed Jing Ruyu's hand: "What do you mean?"

Realizing something was wrong, he immediately released it stiffly: "What do you mean, what is this place, and why are we here?"

The eyes of the two met again.

Then she heard Jing Ruyu sigh and ask: "Have you ever dreamed about your own death recently?"

Without thinking, she said, "Yes.

"Just tonight, I dreamed that I had an accident on the bus. When I woke up, I wanted to drink a glass of water, and then I came here..."

After she finished speaking, Jing Ruyu suddenly couldn't bear it, and said to her softly: "Zhiyi, it's not just a dream, it's your future.

"In the near future, you will die in this accident, and no one can save you."

Xia Zhiyi: "...?"

Jing Ruyu: "And this is the new world, a place that is difficult to explain but can rewrite the ending of death.

"As long as those who come here pass the test of the new world, they can be reborn, change the future, and continue to live.

"If you don't pass...then there is only one dead end.

"Is what I said clear enough?"

Xia Zhiyi: "..."

She silently raised her hand and took a bite, the pain made her face hideous.

Damn, this is not a dream!

The author has something to say:

[Modified, added a ferry reminder. 】

Our Xiaoxia is being forcibly knocked on the door of the new world.
