Buddhist player

Just like the previous few days, the atmosphere in the town hadn't changed much, except that the map was more messed up, with broken roads everywhere.

Even though they had noted down the route when they left town, it still took them quite a bit of effort to find Xiaoqi's house again when they returned.

It's not that we absolutely had to choose this kind of house, it's just that Xiaoqi has lived here for ten years and is more familiar with it.

"Um... can you untie me now?"

After the sock that was stuffed in his mouth was removed, Luo Dali carefully put on an apologetic smile.

"I think I understand what you're saying, so can you let me go? I've been tied up for almost a day and a night..."

After glancing at Luo Dali's pitiful expression, Quantum abruptly turned towards Bai Chen.

"Should we ask him to untie it?"

He didn't know what was wrong with the other person. He seemed to be in good spirits in the morning, but ever since he left the town, or more precisely, after he got off the bus, he looked rather unwell. He was pale and looked like he had been staying up for several days and nights. His condition seemed even worse than yesterday.

"Untie him and let him and the knife-cut noodles clean up together. If they try to run away, break their legs."

While flipping through the documents in his hand, Bai Chen answered without looking up.

"Also, don't just sit around, come and help me. I have a few things I need you to do."

According to a certain little girl, they need at least three days of real-time maps to find the location of the hidden building. Including the one they drew yesterday, they are still missing two maps.

There's no need to worry about today's quota. He sent out the Painted Prison Hand a long time ago, and it should be completed by noon at the latest. If everything goes smoothly, they should be able to find the building and enter it by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

……perhaps.

By associating the most obvious anomaly with the map, and then by associating the daily changes in the map with the town's buildings, this is the most conventional way to complete the game, based on the existing logical clues. The players who completed the mission before all left using this method.

But for him, that was far from enough.

"No... are you serious?"

Looking at what the other party handed him, Quantum Self-Stop's face twitched slightly.

"Your plan is a bit too crazy. I think it's better to be more cautious..."

"No madness, no life."

Bai Chen rubbed his temples and leaned back on the sofa, looking exhausted.

"Anyway, I've already given you the things. You need to have everything set up before noon. I'll wait for your reply."

"I still think your plan is too outrageous."

Looking at what he was holding, Quantum suddenly felt a headache coming on.

"Also, what will happen to the town's original inhabitants if the whole town is set on fire?"

"It's alright, most of them are hiding underground, they won't catch fire."

"Uh, I don't think it's about whether it can burn or not..."

"Even if they were all burned to death, they would come back to life the next day and wouldn't even remember that it ever happened."

Bai Chen stared indifferently at the quantum self-braking in front of him.

"I have a guess that needs to be verified. If all goes well, we won't need to wait until tomorrow at all. Ultimately, it's just a simple matter of choice."

"...Alright then."

With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Quantum Automatically put away the cards.

"But speaking of which, what about you? You don't look like you're fit to fight. If that blood mist attacks again, I might not be able to react in time..."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine until you get back."

Bai Chen closed his eyes and waved his hand.

"Remember, don't miss any place."

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

Soon, as the quantum self-brake departed, the surroundings returned to silence, with only occasional sounds from Luo Dali and Daoxiaomian cleaning.

The chores that a certain little girl didn't finish yesterday, I've now done for them all today.

Just as Bai Chen was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, pretending to sleep, a slightly cold little hand suddenly touched his forehead. When he opened his eyes, he found that a little girl had come to his side at some point.

Seeing him raise his eyes, the little girl frowned and looked at him.

"Your forehead feels so hot. It's been like this since yesterday, and it's been so long, are you still not better?"

"Don't worry, it's a minor issue."

With a slight smile, Bai Chen reached out and patted the other person's head.

"I told you not to touch my head, or I won't grow tall."

Frowning, Xiaoqi slapped his hand away.

"You sit here, I'll go get you a basin of water and use a towel to soothe your sore throat. You're such a grown-up, and you still don't know how to take care of yourself... Be good."

After saying that, without waiting for his response, Xiao Qi first retaliated by patting his head and messing up his hair, and then nimbly climbed off the sofa.

Bai Chen: "..."

...He suddenly felt that this little girl had the potential to be a little girl's mother.

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

...I must say, this little girl is very good at taking care of people.

Not long after, the other party came out of the kitchen carrying a basin of hot water. Then, at the strong suggestion of a certain little girl, Bai Chen had no choice but to put down the documents in his hand and lie down on the sofa.

Having barely slept last night, a wave of drowsiness washed over me as I applied a hot towel to my forehead.

After explaining that the other party had woken him up in time when the fog outside turned red, Bai Chen closed his eyes.

For a moment, the living room was incredibly quiet.

As for Luo Dali and Daoxiaomian, who were originally busy cleaning, Xiaoqi had already sent them to the second floor to do their work.

"..."

Looking at the figure in front of her with eyes closed, seemingly fast asleep, Xiaoqi glanced at the fog outside, hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively took the other person's hand and placed it on her head.

...If everything goes smoothly, then the other party should be able to leave by tomorrow, right?

It's a pity, but the other person can't stay here any longer, otherwise he will turn into one of those monsters like his parents.

Xiaoqi gently exhaled and carefully put the other person's hand down. Then she picked up the dried towel and turned back to wash it in the basin.

Meanwhile, directly above her.

...A figure had already silently arrived at the stairwell.
