Wen Shi, who was mumbling, didn't know that what Jian Qingrong firmly chose was the kidney that was scattered outside.
The young man suddenly spoke, forcing a strange smile: "Since you are here, maybe you should meet someone."
Wen Shi didn't ask who he was meeting. The boy didn't say directly, which meant he was deliberately keeping it a secret. He stood up and prepared to go and meet him.
When going out, Shadow asked the girl to stay first.
"My dear grandson, will you fly away after you leave?"
Wen Shi guided the boy to talk about the theory of free flying, which successfully aroused the girl's desire to dominate again.
The young man glanced at Wen Shi and said coldly, "How can you fly? Are you using him as wings?"
The girl stopped making trouble.
A Yu did not follow. She stared at the girl with interest. The girl's eyes and eyebrows were very similar to the old lady's.
Ayu was born to deal with yin things, and his aura was relatively gentle towards those dark creatures. He was one of the few people in the family who could talk to the old lady. The old lady had mentioned something about shadows once, but Ayu didn't take it seriously. Only after meeting her did he find it magical.
"The difference in personality is so huge." Was the old man so wild when he was young?
He looks silly and innocent, but he actually has a hidden dominant personality.
A Yu is now very interested in the existence of the shadow and is ready to observe it further. Wen Shi and the boy temporarily leave Sangmen Temple.
After being trapped for a while, the boy easily found a place where the funeral car was parked and drove directly down the mountain.
Special funeral cars have certain space jumping capabilities.
"Hold on." Wen Shi thought of the funeral car in the mirage, and suddenly felt that this was acceptable.
The shadow always has a physical advantage over the original body. The boy successfully drove the car into the city. Only people related to the Sangmen Temple can use this type of car, and vehicles and pedestrians on the road actively avoided it.
The funeral car finally stopped outside an ordinary house.
The boy honked the horn. Residents were very sensitive to noise, and the one living on the first floor was the first to stick his head out, ready to curse.
The car window rolled down, and the boy and the man's eyes met.
The curse words were taken back and turned into a sentence: "You are still alive."
He killed so many gods and servants, yet he was not executed.
Wen Shi looked over and was stunned: "Peng Lu?"
It was a face exactly like Peng Lu's.
"I ran into him by chance when I first came here. His expression went haywire when he saw me." His first reaction showed that it was more than just a matter of looking similar.
The young man sneered, "On further questioning, I learned that his body was taken away by the game and refined into a wandering corpse. In exchange, the game preserved his entire soul and used the data to create a new body for him. The price is that he can only live in this dimension forever."
"Further question?"
The boy said: "I was beaten with a steel pipe, and then the gods came and tried to suck me dry."
Later, he killed many people and was captured.
"…"
Wen Shi looked at Peng Lu again. The [Spirit Coffin] almost failed when refining the wandering corpse. One of the reasons for its success in the end was that the deceased was a psychic body. It was obvious that the game took a fancy to Peng Lu's physique.
At this moment, Peng Lu was the most confused.
The two men had the same face, but one was obviously still in his teenage years. When he was forced to tell the truth by the steel pipe that day, the boy seemed to not recognize himself at all, but knew everything related to him.
"No wonder you were so calm before you died." Wen Shi smiled.
Peng Lu pursed his lips. Even without the age difference, he could recognize that this was the real Pei Wenwei. No one else could imitate that demeanor.
Peng Lu unwillingly invited the two to his home.
He was cooking mushroom soup for lunch and served a bowl to the two of them. After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't hide his curiosity and asked, "What is the purpose of the game guiding you to refine corpses?"
Wen Shi said calmly, "Using zombies to hide the key is a good trick for me. By the way, I can learn about human civilization."
The latter was his guess, but Wen Shi was 90% sure that it was the truth. From the continuous enrichment of prompt sounds, it can be seen that the game has begun to imitate and learn.
Speaking here is not blocked in any way. Unlike the shadow, Peng Lu cannot even leave the area under the jurisdiction of the God of Death.
The game puts him here because, firstly, the God of Death among the True Spirits is indifferent to Wen Shi, and is impulsive about sharing the Lord of Terror, so there won't be too many causal intersections; secondly, the only places suitable for the dead to live are Death Gate and Ghost Gate.
Peng Lu's body and soul were separated, and he was in a half-dead state, so it was just right to put him here.
After a few brief conversations while eating, Wen Shi prepared to leave. As for Peng Lu's arrangement of the chess pieces in the game, Wen Shi didn't think much of it; it was just a normal choice.
Before leaving, he asked Peng Lu, "Do you need me to bring anything for your friends and family in the real world?"
Players don't keep all of their real-life belongings in banks; some are hidden very secretly.
Peng Lu shook his head. "My relationship with my family was not good, so I left home early."
He never hoarded money.
When Wen Shi was about to leave, Peng Lu suddenly called him: "Wait."
He turned around and took out an object from the cabinet, handing it to Wen Shi: "After being eliminated, all my equipment was recycled like other dead players, and only this is left."
[Simulator (inactive): Special item. Life is a one-way journey. Have you ever thought about experiencing someone else's life?]
There is no further introduction.
Peng Lu: "I've tried many ways to activate it, but all have failed."
It was also the first time Wen Shi had seen a tool without detailed instructions, so he asked curiously, "Why give it to me?"
The boy nodded and said, "That's right, why not give it to me?"
Although he had beaten the other party severely, his original body had plotted to kill Peng Lu.
Peng Lu was silent for a moment. "If we met in this kind of situation, no one would think of asking me about real life."
This shows that Pei Wenwei has a potential for gentleness in his bones. The fact that he has come this far at least proves that good people can live long lives.
Wen Shi didn't refuse the item. He thanked him and thought for a moment before saying, "The dungeon world isn't safe. Strength is the key to survival." He then gave a detailed introduction to King Asa and the Kingdom of Ulthar. "Each position has a complete evolutionary path, and Ji Yuanzhi is included. If you have this idea in the future, you can contact him."
Wen Shi pointed at the boy.
There was no coercion in the words, and Ji Yuanzhi was mentioned. Since all the big guys were there, the benefits must be extraordinary.
Peng Lu's eyes changed when he looked at Wen: It turns out that he is kinder than I thought.
After dying once, you will see everything more clearly. People who have stayed in the world of death for a long time will be unconsciously influenced by the god of death.
The boy's eyes changed when he looked at Peng Lu: It turns out that he is even blinder than I thought.
"Hurry up." The boy urged. He didn't want to be in the same space with such a blind person. Stupidity is contagious.
Wen Shi left calmly with another good guy card sent by someone else.
On the way back, the speed of the car doubled, and the funeral car almost seemed to be flying back.
Youshi had finished recording the album and was standing behind Ayu, always keeping a distance from the God of Death.
When he saw Wen from a distance, he began beating his chest.
Wen Shi understood and called the wandering corpse back.
It feels great.
This rebellious son finally saw the dangers of the outside world. What he said was not what he thought. Wen Shi looked at the Death God and said, "Youshi is an introvert. Please bear with me."
The God of Death said in a friendly tone, "It's okay. I'm only interested in his voice."
Unfortunately, the vocal cords cannot be taken away.
Seeing regret in the once again lifeless dead fish's eyes, Wen Shi sighed that everyone was a villain when the settlement notification sound before the transmission began -
"The copy settlement is about to begin."
"The total points for this match are 2,500, and there are no item rewards."
The biggest advantage of the copy is the death substitute props, but Wen Shi's main quest was completely shady. He took the back door of the God of Death, and even the bombing of the mountain was dealt with by his clone.
It is naturally impossible for the God of Death to give out any extra death substitutes.
"Thank you for your support of this test book. You will get an extra clue*1."
[Additional clue: The simulator cannot be activated by one person.]
"Transmission is about to begin—"
Wen Shi seized the last moment to look at the boy: "Remember our small goal."
The young man said with a forced smile: "Hurry up and go."
Being under the same sky with his original body, he couldn't even breathe smoothly.
There was no need to say goodbye to A Yu. After Wen Shi returned, he prepared to hold a tea party to see where Jian Qingrong had gone to make trouble.
The teleportation went smoothly. The teleportation point of the test copy was not at the exit of the normal copy. When the world became bright again, Wen Shi was lying on the big bed in the hotel.
Everything seemed to be the same as before he left, except for one more message on the communicator on the bed.
Ji Yuanzhi: [? ]
The message was from a day ago, and Wen Shi replied: [I was selected into the test book.]
As he typed, he sent out an invitation for afternoon tea, set for two minutes from now on the hour.
Ji Yuanzhi called and asked, "After the high-difficulty dungeon ends, the rest period will be extended appropriately. How did you get selected into the dungeon so soon?"
Wen Shi: "It meets the requirements perfectly. This dungeon specifically targets the most unlucky ones."
This sentence successfully reinforced Ji Yuanzhi's impression that he indeed had a tragic fate.
"Oh right, I got a [Simulator] item, but I can't activate it by myself. I'll come back later..."
The teleporter fell on the bed, the smiling young man disappeared from the bed, and the afternoon tea transmission began.
He stopped talking before he finished speaking.
Ji Yuanzhi: [? ? ]
Where are the people? Where have they gone?
Sanatorium, information room.
When Wen Shi arrived, all the other family members were already there, except Jian Qingrong. He raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when the door to the data room was suddenly pushed open.
Jian Qingrong was dusty and exhausted, clearly in a hurry. He had originally intended to return to find Wen Shi, but his presence grew increasingly distant until it vanished. Unaware of Wen Shi's only appearance for one day, Jian Qingrong had no choice but to take a detour back to Dachang.
"I went out to do something urgent a couple of days ago, and it was already too late when I came to find you." Jian Qingrong took the initiative to explain.
"Urgent?" Wen Shi guessed, "Talking about shares, setting up a branch factory?"
Jian Qingrong shook his head and pointed at himself, as if to let him see any changes.
Over at the round table, Ayu was in a good mood and casually said, "It turned white?"
Boy: "My heart has turned black."
A Sang: "Become rich?"
Xie Tangyan: "I don't see any difference."
Yarlin and the old lady did not participate.
Wen Shi looked serious.
Given their relationship, if he couldn't answer, it might seem like he didn't value the other person, so he circled around Jian Qingrong and finally chose to say something nice: "You've become more beautiful."
Jian Qingrong shook his head: "My kidney is back."
Everyone at the round table fell silent instantly.
"…"
Wen Shi's mouth twitched. Is this a change that I can see with my naked eyes?
