Chapter 418 The Man in the Wax Figure
When Dahei chose to end himself, the final boss of the dungeon was killed and the game dungeon ended early.
Cheng Jie and the others were still discussing whether to clear the dungeon first or find Zheng Xun first. At this time, the surrounding scene suddenly changed, and a virtual electronic block representing the end of the dungeon appeared. It would not be long before the scene would dissipate and they would return to the first floor of the White Tower.
"Is it over?" Gao Ziyao was incredulous, "But we didn't seem to do anything?"
He looked at his younger brother Gao Zihuan, who shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't know what happened.
Tao Xueji and Tao Xueqing also looked at each other. They exchanged glances silently, and finally looked at their captain Cheng Jie.
Cheng Jie's brows had not relaxed since the dungeon suddenly ended.
This abrupt end was wrong.
Unless Zheng Xun used some unknown method to beat the boss to death directly.
By the way... Where is Zheng Xun? !
Cheng Jie asked this question, and the other people were also confused.
It doesn't matter if I don't see the two players of Youxin Guild. I don't care.
But Zheng Xun...did he die with the boss? !
Now the people on the first floor of the White Tower were panicked, and even the audience watching the live broadcast could not figure out what was going on.
; Damn, is Zheng Xun really dead?
: Is anyone using Zheng Xun's perspective? His screen has been black since just now.
: It's still black now...
: This is not right! If a player dies, the game perspective will also be closed, and the avatar should be dark.
: But Zheng Xun's avatar is still bright, and the perspective is not closed.
: Does this mean he is not dead?
: But the other players have left the scene!
: What is Zheng Xun doing again...
: If Zheng Xun is dead, that would be a great thing.
The audience in the live broadcast room completely misunderstood. This time it was not Zheng Xun's fault.
He was even still confused.
Dahei sacrificed himself and let him go.
The exhibition hall with a big hole behind him disappeared and turned into a complete wall again.
But the scene in front of him did not dissipate.
The front was gray, and there was a lot of dust floating in the air.
This is an undeveloped place.
Zheng Xun turned on the flashlight and scanned the entire space.
It was like a warehouse, with various wax figures placed inside.
These wax figures were all defective, either with broken arms or without heads.
They were abandoned here, some were covered with white cloth, and some were directly presented in front of Zheng Xun.
Is this another... hidden branch?
Zheng Xun couldn't be sure now. He couldn't grasp the movements of other players.
Sister Hong was still recuperating, and Xiaoyin had just been urgently taken back by him and was currently waiting to be summoned.
Dahei was gone, and the grid that belonged to it was empty.
An An's family was still there, and there were some props and prop cards.
The physical strength was slowly recovering, and it was a bit consumed this time, so it might take a long time.
If I encounter any monsters here again, Zheng Xun really can't play.
My legs were falling heavily, and my hands were numb.
Zheng Xun decided not to rush to find clues in this space, he wanted to take a short rest.
He sat on a tall wax base.
This is a crying praying woman. The woman's eyes are closed, a tear falls from the corner of her eyes, and her hands are clasped together, placed on her chest, praying.
Zheng Xun treated the wounds on his body as soon as possible, took out the biscuits to fill his stomach from the cloud space, and chewed them one by one.
The food was very dry and not tasty.
Zheng Xun looked up at the wax figure and took two bites of the biscuits.
His head drooped lower and lower, and finally he buried his head in his arms, with his arms on his knees.
After sitting alone for a while, Zheng Xun raised his head, his hair was messy.
He rubbed his eyes hard, and his physical strength recovered to about 50%, so he could slowly get up and start looking for clues.
After all, it was in a copy, and he couldn't delay too long.
Zheng Xun put the half-eaten biscuits back into the cloud space to avoid wasting food.
Then he looked around.
It was quiet.
There were no unusual sounds.
He took out the hammer for self-defense and decided to walk around the room first.
But just as he took the first step, he heard a noise.
The noise was particularly abrupt in the quiet space, and Zheng Xun's ears caught it instantly.
It was like the sound of a heavy object rolling down the sand.
... How could there be sand here?
Zheng Xun's hearing has always been good. He can determine the source of the sound and quickly find it.
Now in front of him is a wax figure of a man wrapped in iron chains.
It is very large, one and a half times taller than Zheng Xun, and quite wide.
Zheng Xun put his ear against the wax figure.
Rustle...
There is indeed a sound inside.
He knocked it with his hand, and the wax shell seemed very thin and hollow.
Zheng Xun roughly confirmed where the hollowness started, and then smashed it with a hammer.
The wax figure was knocked down by this force, and rolling sand flowed out.
There was actually a person flowing out with the sand!
Zheng Xun was shocked.
"Is this some mysterious sacrifice?"
He turned the man over, showing a shocked expression.
"You... Zhao Ran?!"
Zhao Ran's eyes were closed, but he was still breathing.
It was unknown how long he had been sealed in the wax figure. After being rescued by Zheng Xun, he coughed twice, suddenly opened his eyes, and gasped for air.
"Zheng, Zheng Xun..."
Zheng Xun took out some water from the cloud space and gave it to him. He drank the water while relieving the pain caused by suffocation.
Zheng Xun stared at him for a moment.
"You are wearing clothes?!"
"..."
Zhao Ran choked on a mouthful of water, coughed and looked at Zheng Xun with his eyes wide open.
"I'm sorry," Zheng Xun apologized to him, "I found your hospital gown outside, I thought you were going to be naked..."
Zhao Ran did wear clothes. Although it was just ordinary sportswear.
He said that his clothes were also changed by others. After he left the Mental Health Center of District 9, he entered the White Tower before Zheng Xun. When the copy was opened, he was suddenly hit by a brick from behind and fainted.
When he woke up, he saw Zheng Xun.
Zhao Ran was actually very happy when he thought of this.
"Zheng Xun, long time no see!"
"..."
Deputy Captain Zhao's thinking was still as jumpy as ever. In the last second, he was still scolding the person who hit him with a brick, and in the next second, he said to Zheng Xun that he was so happy to see you.
There were so many complaints that Zheng Xun didn't know where to start.
Forget it, let Zhao Ran talk.
"How did you get into the dungeon? Wouldn't it be nice to watch the White Tower baby in your room?"
Zheng Xun was furious when he remembered Zhao Ran's running around, and took away all his biscuits and water.
"Hey, I haven't finished eating yet, let me eat two more bites..."
Zhao Ran stuffed the food he had finally gotten into his mouth in two or three bites, chewing while talking to Zheng Xun.
"I didn't leave on purpose, someone told me that you were trapped in this dungeon, so I came here."
