chapter 61

Pei Sui frowned and couldn't help but interrupt, "Well... I think Qin Baocheng is right. It's not necessary to kill all the residents in the building, right? The videotapes we got didn't show any murder."

Burning Ghost glanced at her and said nonchalantly, "That's because you got it from the store. Maybe the rules for getting videotapes in the house are different."

The female college student, the grocery shopping auntie, and the plumber all nodded thoughtfully.

The captain's words made sense.

Just killing all the residents in the building...

It always sounds creepy, isn't it a little too cruel?

But the captain was right about one thing.

In the game, as long as the players don't kill each other blatantly, there is no restriction on players killing NPCs.

The players also think that in order to save their lives, what's wrong with killing some NPCs?

NPCs are in pain, as long as the pain doesn't happen to themselves, it's ok.

Pei Sui pondered for a moment and took out another videotape.

"I still have one last videotape, which I got from the video store. It's not too late to speculate after watching this."

No one objected.

The VCR was turned on again, and the headless ghost brother A put the videotape in.

The TV screen flashed snow again.

Then, the camera appeared, just facing the vicissitudes of the old man in the video store.

The camera drooped slightly, and it turned out that the old man stuffed a videotape into Xiaonan's hand.

The yellow package was printed with a beautiful woman wearing a cool bikini with a bright smile, and her legs were white and slender, folded on a man's neck.

It was the kind of videotape that you can tell at a glance that it is not serious but GHS.

The camera shook, and Xiaonan must be a little panicked.

But he did not refuse, but stuffed the videotape into his pocket.

Then, the camera was raised to face the old man's face.

His smile became obscene and secretive, and he squinted his eyes, and even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were full of meaningful "We are all men, I understand you, there is nothing to be shy about."

Xiaonan ran away in a panic.

The camera shook violently, and then suddenly stabilized. It should be that Xiaonan stood still not far away and looked back at the video store.

A new customer just came to the video store, and the old man was holding a videotape to promote it.

Because the camera was too far away, the packaging in his hand could not be seen clearly, but it seemed to be yellow.

However, as they talked, they all looked at Xiaonan.

Pointing and smiling ambiguously.

It seemed that they were joking and teasing him.

Xiaonan clenched his pocket tightly, and the camera began to shake violently.

It ended like this.

Pei Sui stood up, took back the videotape, and concluded, "It is very clear now. This Xiaonan is a man. We must find him. He must be the key to passing the level."

"How do you know Xiaonan is not a woman?" Qin Baocheng suddenly became a nitpicker.

"Nonsense, which woman would watch this kind of thing?" Pei Sui glanced at him and said, "Idiot."

"Who said that? Just because you don't watch it doesn't mean others don't watch it. I think there are just as many girls as men who watch this kind of thing." Qin Baocheng seemed to understand a lot and smiled, revealing his snow-white teeth.

Pei Sui was too lazy to pay attention to him. Instead, he held the videotape and said, "But don't you find it strange? The things the old man did in this video can't be considered evil deeds, right? At most, he was a bad person, but it was also recorded in the videotape. But do you think he should be sentenced to death for what he did?"

The Burning Ghost shrugged indifferently, "In that case, then let's not kill him."

"You're wrong." Pei Sui shook his head, put the videotape back into his pocket, and paced and said, "This is very strange. Other videotapes record very serious evil deeds. For example, although the convenience store owner only gave Xiaonan an expired and spoiled bread, have you ever thought about why there were maggots in the bread? Because the bread was filled with human flesh."

"The fast food restaurant owner, the lunch boxes he made are all made of meat of unknown origin."

"And the wretched man who was holding the stockings and smelling them, the camera also flashed by and captured a human leg stuck upside down in the trash can."

"Only this old man's actions were obviously not as bad as theirs, but they were also recorded in the videotape. Have you ever thought about why?"

Pei Sui was still reasoning and analyzing, while the other players looked at her in confusion.

Pei Sui took a deep breath and lowered his eyes and said, "I guess this is because in Xiaonan's eyes, the old man's crimes are the same as those committed by other residents. To him, they are all unforgivable and should be killed!"

"So it was recorded in his videotape."

"This videotape is Xiaonan's way of using us to kill all the residents he thinks should be killed."

Burning Ghost said nonchalantly, "Since he wants us to help him kill people, then just kill them. After killing them, we will pass the level, isn't that great?"

Pei Sui looked at him with a deep gaze, "But have you ever thought about who Xiaonan is? Where is he?"

Burning Ghost's eyes flickered, "How do I know where he is? Otherwise, let's go find him first."

Pei Sui lowered his eyes, took out his mobile phone, and flipped through it, "Do you remember the name of the game? Apartment Monster. This monster is the focus of the game, right?"

"Do you think this monster is the residents in the apartment, or... Xiaonan?"

Her voice was very soft, almost inaudible.

But when this reasoning came out, the players present all felt their scalps tingling and took a breath of cold air.

What does it mean?

If Xiaonan is the monster they saw in 404, it would be too scary!

That monster wanted to kill them!

Who should we help?

The Burning Ghost frowned and guessed, "I think Xiaonan attacked us before because we didn't help him punish the residents in the apartment."

Pei Sui sneered, "Well, you have punished them now and killed two residents. The door of 404 is right there. You can go in and see if Xiaonan will attack you again."

404 is such a special house.

Pei Sui felt that it must be the residence of Xiaonan, the most critical person in this game.

The Burning Ghost responded with a cold snort, "It's up to you two. Anyway, I have found a way to pass the level. You are not from my Infinite Sect, I can't control you. Listen, members of the Infinite Sect, this afternoon, follow me to kill the residents! Start from the second floor!"

The female college student and the aunt who was buying vegetables were trembling and huddled together, "Can you think of other ways first..."

Only the plumber nodded, "Okay, follow the instructions of your teammates."

Pei Sui frowned and said to the female college student and the aunt who was buying vegetables, "If you two are scared, just stay in the lobby and don't go anywhere. I have thought of a way. Maybe you don't need to kill the residents to pass the level. I will go to verify it this afternoon, and I will tell you after it is confirmed."

The female college student and the aunt who was buying vegetables wanted to agree, but they didn't dare to nod. They all looked at the Burning Ghost cautiously.

The Burning Ghost looked down at them, "Do you want to betray the Infinite Sect?"

They both shook their heads quickly.

The plumber also hesitated and said, "Captain, if we can avoid killing the residents, that should be a better way, right? After all, there are so many residents. After being killed, they will turn into evil ghosts at night to avenge us. We can't resist!"

The Burning Ghost Captain's face was originally black, and Pei Sui felt that his face seemed to be even darker now.

After a long time, he said in a low voice, "You are right. If you can get the videotape without killing anyone, it will be more labor-saving, safer, and of course better."

Pei Sui looked at him deeply and did not respond.

The Burning Ghost Captain continued, "Then everyone put the videotapes at the front desk, so that it is convenient to organize."

Pei Sui had no objection, took out the videotapes she collected, and put them next to the Headless Ghost's little brother B.

She has experienced these games and now knows it very well.

Generally, everyone's main task is what they must complete this main task before the portal to leave this game will appear.

Even if her or other returning players' side tasks are to collect videotapes.

Whether it is completed or not does not affect the clearance.

But this side quest must be completed, one is to find the portal to leave this game, and the other is to get more points. Only a fool would not want it.

So Pei Sui was not worried that the hidden returning players would destroy these videotapes.

Instead, he went to the fourth floor with Qin Baocheng with confidence.

...

In the corridor on the fourth floor, Qin Baocheng asked casually, "Pei Sui, do you think there are any returning players in our game?"

Pei Sui pondered for a moment and asked back, "What do you think?"

Qin Baocheng paused and said slowly, "I think that the Burning Ghost is quite suspicious. It seems that he wanted to trick us just now and let us all kill the residents. In the end, I guess the mission is completed, but we can't get out."

Pei Sui sighed, "Yes, there are so many residents. Even if the portal appears, they will pester us, and it will be difficult for us to run away."

"In fact, there is something I haven't said." Qin Baocheng hesitated, but still said it, "Do you still remember that the Burning Ghost said that he didn't help the cleaning lady clean the stairwell and went back to the room before twelve o'clock?"

Pei Sui nodded.

Qin Baocheng went on, "Actually, when I was patrolling at twelve o'clock last night, I went to the stairwell, and it had been completely cleaned. From the sixth floor to the first floor, all the blood and corpses were cleaned up, and... I also saw that door."

"What door? 404?"

"Yeah. The Burnt Ghost lied." Qin Baocheng's eyes were dim, "He opened the door directly this morning and said that the corridor was too dark and he didn't see the 404 marked on the door."

"But I saw it clearly last night, so I didn't open the door and go in."

"...You mean, the Burnt Ghost knew that it was 404, and that there was a monster inside, so he deliberately led us in?" Pei Sui narrowed his eyes.

"Actually, I'm not too sure." Qin Baocheng sighed slightly, "After all, they are a team. How could the burned ghost be a returning player?"

"Even if the returning players form a team, they will only form one or two, and then kill all the remaining players."

"Their team seems to be a fixed organization. I heard that female college student chatting yesterday and she said that they have cooperated in five or six games." Pei Sui was also confused. He wondered if there were no returning players in this game at all, and it was just an ordinary cooperative clearance mode.

"Let's not talk about this." Qin Baocheng shook his head, "Why did you call me to the fourth floor? And what is the better way to pass the level you mentioned?"

"The second, third, and sixth floors are where players from the Infinite Sect live. Of course, we start from the fourth floor where I live." Pei Sui thought for a while, "Actually, I'm not too sure. It's just a temporary idea."

"Do you remember? When we got the videotape at the video store, it was

the old man who promised to give us a VCR." "At the convenience store, the videotape appeared after the boss gave us something."

"At the fast food restaurant, the videotape suddenly appeared when the boss invited us to his house for tea."

Qin Baocheng recalled and nodded, "You are right, but these triggering conditions are..."

"It's goodwill." Pei Sui analyzed slowly, "They expressed their goodwill to us, so the videotape appeared."

"I think there may be two ways to get the videotape."

Pei Sui opened his lips slightly and uttered three words, "Good or evil."

Qin Baocheng's eyes showed a slight surprise, and he looked at Pei Sui with admiration, "You can even analyze this! Awesome!"

"I see. Burning the ghosts and killing the residents obtained the videotapes by 'evil' means, and we obtained the videotapes by 'good' means. Both methods can complete the main task."

Oops, he began to envy the red-haired girl again.

How can he have such a smart and beautiful little sister! Waiting online! Very urgent!
