Buddhist player

Bai Chen did not have a peaceful night.

The persistent headaches were secondary; the main problem was that a certain little girl always seemed to like following him around.

The other person was beside him when he was enjoying the breeze on the rooftop; the other person was beside him when he was reviewing the data brought back by Quantum Auto-Shutter; the other person was still beside him when he was discussing tomorrow's plans with Quantum Auto-Shutter; and even when he got up to go to the bathroom, this little girl habitually followed behind him...

Even though it was already very late, when he told the other person to go to sleep, the other person only mumbled a response and then continued to do as they pleased.

He finally waited until the other person sat on the sofa and fell asleep against him, and he had just carried them back to their bed and covered them with a blanket a minute before. But less than half a minute after he left, the other person would wake up from their dream and run to find him... and then the above process would repeat.

In the end, Bai Chen had no other choice but to let the little girl sleep on the sofa. Only then did she stop making a fuss.

After careful deduction, Bai Chen figured that the little girl was afraid of the dark, so after she fell asleep, he specially turned on a high-powered camping lamp in the living room.

As soon as the switch was pressed, the entire living room was instantly illuminated as if it were daytime.

..........................................

As if rehearsing what was happening this morning, when the time came to 6 a.m., the black fog rose again and quickly covered every corner of the town.

In order to obtain more clues, Bai Chen deliberately released the knife-cut noodles and placed them together with Luo Dali. Under the corrosive influence of the black mist, the knife-cut noodles' body quickly dissolved in the mist like foam. However, Luo Dali, on the other hand, not only remained unharmed like the others, but even turned over in his sleep and scratched his butt with his bound hands...

"How should I put it? Should I wake him up?"

Turning his head, Quantum Self-Stop looked towards Bai Chen.

"Take her with you, and we'll leave town once the fog clears."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Chen glanced at the empty sofa next to him and made a decision.

It wasn't that he didn't want to leave now, but the area covered by the black fog wasn't just this small town. Even for the most basic safety reasons, staying here and waiting for the fog to dissipate was the best option.

An hour later, the group drove out of the town.

Having had experience before, Bai Chen found his target quite quickly this time. After pressing the mutated parents down with steel plates in the same manner, the little girl got back into the car.

However, when it was the bus's turn, something unexpected happened.

The knife-cut noodles are fine in the car; he brought them out yesterday. But the others…

Bai Chen frowned as he looked at the obvious bloodstain on the back seat of the car.

It looked as if the car had been attacked by a number of ferocious wild beasts. The back seat was like a large-scale hunting scene. In addition to the obvious bloodstains, there were also a lot of misshapen pieces of cloth left behind.

No matter how you look at it, the person sitting here has already been murdered.

After glancing at the bulging bellies of the passengers in front of him, Bai Chen got off the bus without saying much, carrying a somewhat hesitant bowl of knife-cut noodles.

Of course, just like Luo Dali, Daoxiaomian completely forgot her identity as a player at this moment. She called herself Liu Min, and as for her background, it was exactly the same as what Luo Dali had told her, using the same template.

"Why is it only her? Where are the new players?"

Seeing that only the magician was getting off the bus, Quantum Automatic asked him a question, somewhat puzzled.

"There are no new players. There should only be seven of us participating in this dungeon... We'll talk about the details once we get on board."

Shaking his head, Bai Chen opened the car door and gestured for Daoxiaomian, who was sitting next to him, to get in.

After his memory was erased, his personality changed drastically. He became timid and cowardly. Although he clearly saw Luo Dali tied up in the car, he didn't dare to say a word. He just lowered his head and got into the car, his body trembling slightly.

"Should this be tied up?"

Looking at the knife-cut noodles next to him, Quantum Self-Stop looked eager to try them.

"Just be more careful... Tell me, what happened inside the bus before I got on?"

As he smoothly started the car, Bai Chen asked without turning his head.

"How's the person who was sitting in the back seat of your car?"

"...was eaten."

Seemingly recalling the horrific scene that had occurred in the car earlier, her words were tinged with obvious fear.

"He was...eaten up by the people in the carriage."

"Eaten!?"

Compared to the white dust that was already expected, the reaction of quantum self-braking was much larger.

"No, how could that be!? It's still..."

"The person who came today is probably not a player; he's likely just an ordinary person who got caught up in this mess."

Interrupting Quantum Self-Binding's words, Bai Chen spoke calmly.

"Perhaps it's a late-night bus from an urban legend, or a public bus that stops at midnight. Maybe there are even disaster records related to this thing in our world."

"An ordinary person? But how come an ordinary person... wait, I think I understand what you mean."

Looking at the bus they had left behind outside the car, Quantum Self-Stop looked thoughtful.

"No wonder. I was wondering why so many bizarre disasters suddenly appeared in our world, and why none of them could be eliminated... Is the source of the problem not even there?"

"Pretty much. Even at a rate of one per day, this place has swallowed up at least four thousand people. The efficiency is low, but it is consistent and stable."

Bai Chen stepped on the gas and sped away from the rainstorm area, shrugging his shoulders.

"I guess the ordinary people are just extras; the real targets here are the players."

"Hunter player... no, how did you get out of there?"

Unable to resist, Quantum abruptly asked another question.

"Oh, I guessed."

"Well……"

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he really couldn't refute it.

After all, this person has already "guessed" too many things correctly along the way; if he were to ask any more questions, he would probably only humiliate himself...

Bai Chen glanced at the other person through the rearview mirror and shook his head slightly.

Although he had figured out the source of those disasters, to be honest, Bai Chen couldn't be happy.

Strictly speaking, this place can only be considered one of the sources of the disaster, or even the source. The real center of the disaster should be the giant foot that fell from the sky and created this area.

...How many other places are there like this?

no one knows.

However, judging from the endless stream of disasters that occur in their world, their actual number may far exceed their imagination.

...Perhaps that lord knows something?

Looking at the town that had come into view in the distance, Bai Chen lowered his head and lit a cigarette.
