Chapter 1119 A Passerby Cannon Fodder in an Infinite Flow Dimension (Part 42)
As for who she really is, Miaomiao herself doesn't know.
After entering this game, she had no memory of the original owner at all. Apart from knowing that she was looking for a job at the time, she was directly abducted to this desolate place to take care of the child.
[System notification: Detection indicates the player's current game experience is below the expected threshold; difficulty increase mechanism is now activated.]
A cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang out in the room, shattering the peace between the two.
[System Announcement: After the difficulty is increased, players must complete two core tasks within five days: 1. Identify the real culprit; 2. Determine the motive and related key information.]
Upon completion of the mission, the game rewards will be doubled, with each player receiving two Warrior Stars as a direct reward.
However, if the task is not completed by the deadline, it will be judged as a failure by the game and the elimination mechanism will be triggered.
This is a mandatory task; it cannot be changed or appealed.
Miaomiao subconsciously looked up, her gaze fixed on the light screen that had suddenly appeared in mid-air, visible only to players, her eyes filled with astonishment.
This game is shameless! With so many bugs, they're still planning to increase the time limit and won't allow anyone to object.
But then again, double the rewards sound pretty appealing...
The game difficulty wouldn't have increased for no reason, and the game time was also shortened, which means they had already figured out the truth ahead of time?
Why is it necessary to add the requirement to ascertain the motive and information about the crime?
"It's just a case of running out of ideas."
Xie Chenzhou gave a light snort to show his disdain.
Isn’t it?
Normally speaking, it would be a pipe dream for Xie Chenzhou to find the criminal from hundreds of people.
As for Miaomiao's desire to escape from the cellar where she was imprisoned, it was a pipe dream. In fact, those who resisted were all killed by Harris with a single blow. Perhaps some were lucky enough to escape the villa, but the moment they got out, they were sent to their deaths by bombs in the yard.
Everything symbolized the high difficulty of this game, but by a twist of fate, Harris was suspected by Xie Chenzhou, who even discovered his strangeness by observing the fragrance on Harris's body.
Moreover, Miaomiao, who might have been eliminated from the game for assaulting someone due to Harris's lustful behavior, was prevented from happening at all because of Xie Chenzhou's phone call. She even kicked down the door and walked out of the cellar...
What's more, those two players even met tonight. What's so fun about that?
It's like turning the game's carefully crafted storyline into a pile of rotten poop on the ground, completely disgracing the game.
So, the game NPC, who was arrogant and thought he was definitely better than everyone else at the game, finally couldn't resist using that privilege. It's just a pity that his game was too small. All he could do was add a question, a question that might not be easy to find in a short time.
However, Xie Chenzhou's words at this moment also indirectly revealed his identity as Xie Chenzhou.
After all, Miaomiao had just told Officer Willie about her identity, and the only thing suitable for her when she had run out of tricks was something the game had just released.
Miaomiao caught a glimpse of "Officer Willie" beside her out of the corner of her eye. Just like her, his gaze was fixed precisely on the empty space in mid-air that was nothing to the NPCs!
This identical movement, like a thunderclap, instantly exploded in Miaomiao's mind.
Only players can see the game screen, and only players would react so instinctively to the game system's prompts!
The man in front of me wasn't Officer Willie; he was Xie Chenzhou!
Miao Miao's heart suddenly clenched, and her breathing became rapid. She stared intently at the man in front of her, her eyes filled with shock, doubt, and a hint of surprise that she herself did not realize.
"I know my name is Miaomiao. What about you, Officer Willie? Do you have a nickname?"
In order not to expose her identity to the game NPCs and have the game use the excuse of leaking the game to eliminate her, Miaomiao thought for a moment and asked this question.
"Miaomiao? It's a very nice name. I'm your friend, Xie Chenzhou."
Xie Chenzhou seemed to have just noticed Miaomiao. The surprise in his eyes was much more genuine than Miaomiao's. He turned to look at Miaomiao, raised his arms, and suddenly hugged her tightly.
"I'm very worried about you. I'm afraid I won't be able to face your brother."
Xie Chenzhou couldn't hold back any longer and, at this moment when they found each other, tightly embraced his longing.
"Miaomiao, I've found you."
He also said what he had always wanted to say.
The warm embrace brought a familiar sense of security, and Miaomiao's tense nerves instantly relaxed. The faint scent of pine cones emanating from Xie Chenzhou filled her nostrils, dispelling the oppressive atmosphere and fear brought by the house.
It's not that she's not afraid, but that she can't be afraid.
Perhaps it was the sight of a familiar face that brought relief from her fear, causing her heart to race. Overjoyed, she tightly embraced Xie Chenzhou.
This was their first hug, a hug between friends, or perhaps between those who had been through thick and thin together.
"Brother Chenzhou, I'm sorry for making you worry."
While the joy of reunion is captivating, the game doesn't offer much time for it.
Miaomiao was the first to pull away from the embrace, the softness in her eyes fading, replaced by a more serious expression.
In Miaomiao's opinion, the two of them were both quite rational people, so they quickly started talking about what happened after they broke up.
"I woke up in an old parking lot, holding a job advertisement in my hand, but I hadn't taken two steps before that man grabbed me."
I could have broken free, but the game said it was a critical point and locked down my stamina.
When I woke up again, I was in that bad guy's basement. Because of the system, I couldn't even see his face clearly; all I could see was a mosaic.
He forced me to play the role of 'Luna' and take care of the two boys.
According to the two children, I was the sixth "mother" they brought back; the previous "mothers" had all disappeared.
I was planning to wait until I was stronger before running away, but the younger boy told me that a mother had tried to escape with him, but the perverted man kicked her into the yard and she was "torn to pieces." I suspect there was a deadly trap, like a bomb, buried under the lawn.
That's why I didn't run away after I got out.
Miaomiao paused, then reached out and touched her hair, her tone tinged with confusion.
"Oh right, there's actually a strange detail that I hadn't paid attention to, but I inexplicably felt I needed to mention it."
I remember having brown hair when I was in the garage, but it turned blonde when I woke up.
With each word Miaomiao spoke, Xie Chenzhou's expression darkened.
Especially when he heard that Miaomiao was "drugged" by Harris in the underground parking garage and that her hair was "dyed from brown to gold," even though Miaomiao was asleep the whole time, it was enough to make Xie Chenzhou grit his teeth.
