The little boy laughed heartily.
Fan Xiao: "..."
Li Jian couldn't stand it anymore: "Brother Fan, Brother Fan, how about... I go first?"
"It's okay, if they won't take the soft approach, then let's try something tough."
After calming himself down, Fan Xiao prepared to tell a new story.
The game prompts the player to try to scare their younger brother into tears.
Now, instead of crying, my younger brother started laughing.
Fan Xiao didn't know if this counted as passing.
If he fails, he might be attacked by the big-faced monster.
Just to be on the safe side, let me tell you one more story.
So Fan Xiao resisted the urge to punch his younger brother and make him cry, and said, "Binbin, let me tell you another story."
"Great! Great! Sister Xiao Cui's story is so interesting!" the little boy clapped his hands and said.
Do you...believe in ghosts?
Fan Xiao suddenly asked.
The little boy trembled slightly: "The school teacher said ghosts are a lie, there definitely aren't any."
Seeing the little boy's condition, Fan Xiao immediately smiled with satisfaction.
Afraid of ghosts?
very good.
He said, "The teacher is just a teacher. How would he know if there are ghosts in our town? He's never encountered any."
"The story I'm about to tell is a true story that happened in Uncle Li Xianqiu's family."
"Uncle Li's parents used to argue a lot. One time, they had another argument, and in a fit of rage, the father killed the mother and buried her body in the backyard."
"Gulu..."
The little boy swallowed hard, his expression turning tense.
Fan Xiao continued, "A few days later, Dad found it strange because Mom had been missing for several days, but her son Li Xianqiu didn't ask about her at all. Everything was as usual. Didn't the son care about his mother at all?"
"Yes, why doesn't Uncle Li ask any questions?" the little boy asked nervously.
"Your Uncle Li's father is also very curious about this question."
Fan Xiao said, "So Dad asked Li Xianqiu, 'Mom's not home these past few days, why aren't you worried at all?'"
Hearing this question, Li Xianqiu looked at her father with a strange expression and replied, "Isn't Mom always here? I'd like to ask you the same thing, Dad, why do you always let Mom ride on your shoulders?"
Suddenly, Fan Xiao reached out and touched the little boy's neck.
"Ah! Ah!"
The little boy's body tensed up instantly, letting out a terrible scream, his face showing an expression as if he were terrified.
"Wow... my sister is bullying me! My sister is bullying me!"
The little boy burst into tears.
Fan Xiao glanced at Li Jian, signaling with his eyes that it was his turn.
Li Jian nodded, moved closer to the little boy, and pretended to comfort him, "Binbin, don't be afraid. It was Sister Xiaocui who bullied you. Your Sister Xiaohua would never do that."
"Come on, let me tell you a really funny story that will definitely make you laugh."
"really?"
The little boy gradually stopped crying and asked cautiously.
"of course."
Li Jian smiled and began to explain, "Isn't there a very tall mountain to the north of our town?"
“A year ago, some people from out of town came to our area to climb that mountain. There were seven of them, including a man and a woman who were a couple.”
"That day, they were at the foot of the mountain preparing to climb when the weather suddenly turned gloomy and it looked like it was going to rain. But they were not going to give up and insisted on going up the mountain. So they left the only girl among the seven to guard the camp."
"But three days passed and the other six people still hadn't returned. The girl started to worry. Could something have happened to them?"
"She waited and waited, and on the seventh day, she finally got the people back, but only five people came back; her boyfriend didn't."
"The five men told the girl that her boyfriend had unfortunately fallen to his death on the first day of the mountain climb, and today was the seventh day after his death, the seventh day after his passing. They were afraid that the girl's boyfriend would come back to haunt her on the seventh day after his death, so they rushed back together to protect her."
"The girl believed it, stood in the circle formed by the five people, let them block her way, and planned to leave the circle after tonight."
"Around midnight, her boyfriend really showed up, covered in blood, and grabbed the girl's arm, trying to pull her down the mountain."
"The girl was terrified. She screamed and struggled, begging her boyfriend to let her go."
Her boyfriend then said to her, "Run! We had a mountain accident on the first day of our hike, and everyone except me died! They've all become ghosts!"
"The girl screamed in fright, decided to trust her boyfriend, and stopped resisting. Her boyfriend pulled her out of the circle, and the two ran down the mountain for more than ten minutes before finally leaving the mountain."
"When they were almost at the town, the girl was too tired to run anymore, so she stopped, thanked her boyfriend, and said that she was very grateful to him for saving her."
"But the next second, the girl froze. She realized that her boyfriend's neck had already been pierced by a tree branch, and he was looking at her with a strange smile... just like this!"
Li Jian suddenly made a face at the little boy.
"Ah! Get away! Get out of here!"
The little boy was so frightened that he kept trembling.
A high-pitched sobbing sound came from inside the bedroom.
Chapter 119 Fan Xiao: I'm going to play with these legs for a year
After finishing the storytelling task, Fan Xiao heard the little boy crying and felt very annoyed.
So he chopped the little boy on the back of the neck with a chop, and the little boy immediately fainted.
Li Jian's eyes twitched as he watched.
Pulling out a hanging is heartless...
He suppressed his urge to complain and said seriously, "We're both telling ghost stories. Aside from being scary, the ghosts in the stories don't have the habit of actively harming people, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
"Do you have a bad memory, or a strong ability to numb yourself?"
Fan Xiao said, "What did Lu Renjia say before? Have you forgotten?"
“That little girl… she said the dungeon might actively distort the horror stories we tell and create real monsters.”
Li Jian said with a troubled expression, "This is just her guess, it may not be correct."
"Don't always think about the good things."
Fan Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Whether it's true or not, be prepared for the storm."
"..."
Fan Xiao's words made Li Jian feel uneasy.
But now that things have come to this, there's no point in trying to escape.
Escaping can only offer a temporary sense of comfort.
"Oh, by the way, just a heads up."
Fan Xiao suddenly said, "When you go out to gather intelligence tomorrow, be extremely vigilant against other players. If you encounter any player, you must act immediately without any hesitation if they make any move."
"Will other players attack us?" Li Jian asked.
"It's not just us, everyone attacks each other."
Fan Xiao said, "If the horror story becomes reality, if this is true, then after tonight, all the players will definitely know."
"This instance requires us to survive for seven days, which means that the survivors will have to tell six more horror stories and create six monsters, turning the instance into a no-man's land."
"To avoid this, tomorrow some players will definitely hunt and kill other players to reduce the overall number of players, thereby controlling the number of monsters and reducing the difficulty of survival."
"We... are all someone else's target."
Fan Xiao had thought of this from the very beginning.
So even before going to Li Xianqiu's house, he had the idea of finding a way to gather the players together and kill them all in one go.
Of course, Lu Xining, Du Ruo, and several of his colleagues were not on his kill list.
He's not that depraved.
There are three reasons why the massacre plan was not carried out.
Firstly, because it was just a guess, killing everyone for a guess would be inhumane.
Secondly, he didn't understand the dungeon well enough at the time. If there were many monsters in the dungeon, killing all the other players would not be a wise move. Leaving someone alive would actually help him lure monsters and reduce the probability of him being targeted by monsters.
Thirdly... Fan Qiqi isn't here, and if the other players team up, he might not be able to defeat them.
If the attempt to massacre fails and you end up getting killed instead... that would be a bit awkward.
"Damn... I was so focused on the dungeon monsters that I forgot about the other players."
Li Jian started to feel a headache coming on.
Suddenly, he remembered something—the horror story could come true, a conjecture first proposed by Van Shaw.
God knows when this guy came up with this idea.
If I had thought of that from the beginning...
"I haven't had one foot in the grave, have I?"
Li Jian glanced at Fan Xiao and suddenly felt a little guilty.
The other party probably never had such a crazy idea as killing all the players... right?
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Fan Xiao asked.
"No, it's nothing."
Li Jian changed the subject, saying, "The living room door isn't closed yet. I'll go close it, otherwise it'll be bad if the old woman with the dried corpse barges in."
After saying that, he quickly left the bedroom, went to the living room, and carefully closed and locked the door.
The old woman with the mummified corpse wouldn't actually rush in; Fan Xiao's previous experiments were enough to prove the conclusion.
Li Jian mainly wanted to find an excuse to end the conversation so that Fan Xiao wouldn't see through his thoughts, which would be a bit awkward.
Is he the kind of person who would doubt the character of his teammates?
"Sigh, I haven't been able to sleep for seven days straight..."
After closing the door, Li Jian sighed softly.
The difficulty of a D-rank dungeon is significantly higher than that of an E-rank dungeon.
The time required to complete customs clearance has also generally increased significantly.
Moreover, you can't let your guard down in the instance; you have to stay focused all the time, which is much more difficult than simply staying up for seven nights in the outside world.
At this moment, Fan Xiao came out of the bedroom, pulled over a low chair, and sat down against the wall.
Li Jian composed himself, found a chair, sat down, and began to wait for dawn to break.
He would glance at the top of the roof beam every now and then, always on guard against the big-faced monster.
Although the probability of the other party attacking him for no reason is very small.
After the two waited for a while, bang bang bang!
"Open the door, it's me."
Suddenly, a slightly cold girl's voice came from outside the gate.
Because he wasn't far from the door, Li Jian, whose nerves were constantly on edge, was so startled by the knocking that he almost screamed.
Hearing the familiar voice calmed him down.
"Lu Renjia... Miss Lu? What brings you here?"
