What's the crash? I'm playing the game normally.

Chapter 129 Craftsman Bai Wan: Look at me making something great!
Liu Jia's body trembled slightly. She was wondering why the boss ignored the little boy who was playing with the ball...

Could it be that the little boy is Li Xueran’s dead brother?

Seeing the changes on the faces of many players, Li Xueran quickly said: "No, you misunderstood. Although my brother committed suicide, he is not dead. You saw him outside just now."

After hearing this, Su Xin and others breathed a sigh of relief. They were too sensitive.

Yes, there are so many people who commit suicide, and not all of them are successful.

However, everyone also kept the information about the boy's suicide in mind.

"So, your brother wanted to commit suicide, and then was rescued by someone?" Leng Ye asked.

After hearing Leng Ye's question, Li Xueran said with a strange expression, "No, the B&B was busy that day. My father and I were busy receiving guests, so we ignored my brother. He went out alone without anyone noticing. When he committed suicide, no one was around. Only an old man said he saw a child jump down, and he couldn't swim. It was too late to call for help."

"Then how did your brother come back?" Everyone looked confused.

Li Xueran looked outside the door, then narrated with a somewhat unnatural expression:

"It's really weird. My brother committed suicide suddenly. My father and I were very surprised and sad. My brother was usually very lively. No one expected him to be like this. I remember that my father didn't talk much during those days. He always loved my brother.

"The police also searched the nearby sea for several days but found nothing. Dad was already in despair, and the days passed uneventfully. Dad began to accept the fact that his brother had died... But that night, there was a knock on the door of our hotel. We thought it was a guest.

"My father and I went out to meet him, but when we opened the door, we were both stunned. My brother who had committed suicide ten days ago came back from outside... Maybe I really didn't like my brother that much. My father was ecstatic at the time, but I felt a little scared...

"My brother was soaked all over, his clothes were soaked, and he didn't say a word. He just stood outside the door stupidly with dull eyes. Looking at my father's happy eyes, I couldn't help but take two steps back."

“Because my brother now looks like he just came out of the sea, but... it’s been ten days. My brother has been committing suicide for ten days. I really can’t imagine how an eight-year-old boy could survive in the sea for ten days..." Li Xueran looked a little terrified.

But think about it, a person fell into the sea for ten days and suddenly came back. He was an eight-year-old boy, and his body was soaked in sea water. It was quite scary.

Li Xueran continued: "I smelled a strong fishy smell at the time. I didn't know how long my brother had been in the sea... But my father was too excited and seemed to have lost his mind. He led my brother into the house and changed his clothes."

"Didn't your father ask how your brother survived?" Su Xin asked.

Li Xueran nodded and said, "Of course I asked, but my brother didn't say anything, so my father thought he was scared and skipped the topic, saying that it's good that he's back, it's good that he's back."

Bai Wan couldn't help but frown after hearing this, wondering if there was something wrong with this boss named Li Ergou.

Even his own daughter noticed such an obvious abnormality, so how could he not notice it?

Or did he pretend not to notice?

Because his son had finally come back, he pretended not to notice anything unusual, as long as his son was back.

Li Xueran was getting more and more scared, and said, "I don't know who to tell these things to. My father doesn't listen to me at all. My brother has become very strange since he came back that night."

"Oh?" All the players became serious.

In this copy called Return, the main characters are now obvious.

It's about the little boy's return.

This little boy is most likely the ghost in the game.

Li Xueran said with a pale face: "At first I just thought that my brother was quiet and taciturn after he came back. I didn't take it seriously when I thought of my father saying that he was scared. But gradually I found something was wrong. Before, my brother didn't like to take a bath. Basically, he could only take a bath once every few days. But since he came back that night, he has to take a bath every day."

"Of course... maybe he's grown up and suddenly likes cleanliness, which is nothing, but one day our town's water supply was cut off and he had no water to use. He insisted on taking a bath and wanted to go to the river, but it was already very late, so I wanted to stop him, but... I walked up to him, and before I could say anything, I saw..."

Li Xueran took a deep breath and said, "I saw that he was not right at all. He seemed to be short of oxygen. The whites of his eyes were turned out and his mouth was wide open. He looked like... a dead fish. Yes... a dead fish."

"I was scared at the time and ran out. When he came back, everything was back to normal. But... I couldn't forget how scary my brother looked before. At the same time, I started to have all sorts of wild thoughts in my mind... They need water every day, and without water they will lack oxygen. This... isn't this the case with fish? Of course fish can't live without water!"

Bai Wan seemed to be thinking about something.

So...the boy committed suicide in the sea, and what came back was a fish?

Li Xueran calmed down his breath and continued, "You should have thought of it, right? I thought it was not my brother who came back, but a fish that came from nowhere. In order to verify my guess, I secretly ran to the door when my brother was taking a bath. I heard the water in the pool gurgling, so I secretly took a look through the gap in the door, and the result was..."

Li Xueran's face showed panic again and he said, "I thought my brother was bathing in the pool, but I didn't expect... Although my brother was in the pool, his behavior was very strange. He was floating on the water, blowing bubbles from his mouth, and scales grew on his face. He stared at me with eyes like a dead fish."

"I was so scared that I ran out. I went to find my dad and told him about it, but he didn't believe me at all. He took me over and my brother came out. His scales disappeared too. My dad told me not to be suspicious and the matter was eventually dropped."

After Li Xueran finished telling the story, he briefly talked about the things happening in the town.

Fish?

It seems that this strange story is related to fish. Bai Wan couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.

Then, seeing that it was getting dark, everyone asked Li Xueran to go back first.

Each player then chooses a bed.

Since Bai Wan is the team captain, he will choose first.

To him, every bed is the same. The meteors in the sky will fall if they are supposed to.

So, he chose a seat near the window. Then everyone started discussing the plot of the return copy.

I have to say that sleeping in the same room does increase the sense of security a lot, and we can also discuss the plot at the same time.

"There are two ways to complete the game. One is to survive for seven days, and the other is to investigate the truth of Yuzhen's suicide. Surviving for seven days goes without saying, so what we have to do is to investigate the truth of Yuzhen's suicide. Currently the clues are all on the little boy, and we have to find out why he committed suicide." Su Xin concluded.

"That's right, and I also feel that the little boy's father is abnormal." Leng Ye added.

"If it's suicide, there should be more than one person in this town. We can find out if there are other people in the town who have committed suicide, and then analyze their similarities. Maybe we can find something." Wang Hui, a student who has always been inconspicuous, came up with a good idea.

That’s right, the main mission is to investigate suicide. The little boy wouldn’t be the only one who committed suicide in this town.

While everyone was discussing, Bai Wan was also thinking about his own things.

In addition to completing the dungeon, he also has to open the dungeon world in the final period of time.

I don't know where the nearest town to Yu Town is.

His possession skill can only possess characters outside the map.

After completing the game, you will usually automatically exit after half an hour.

Bai Wan must reach the nearby town within half an hour.

Then we need to investigate the nearby villages.

Just as everyone was thinking about it, the sound of a basketball hitting each other suddenly came from the corridor.

Bang, bang...

The moonlit night was exceptionally quiet, and the sound of basketballs seemed a little out of place.

Bang, bang!
Su Xin and others couldn't help but become nervous.

Focus on the door.

Some people are playing basketball outside.

It was obviously not normal to be playing basketball outside so late.

Everyone couldn't help but think of Li Xueran's younger brother.

The person in the corridor was most likely the returning little boy...

boom!
The basketball flew over again and gently hit the players' doors.

Then, there was the sound of the basketball being picked up, but there was no slapping sound again.

Su Xin and others couldn't help but hold their breath.

This means that the strange boy is outside at this moment, probably staring at them while holding a basketball.

Except for Bai Wan, everyone else was very nervous because they had not experienced many copies and did not have any strange props.

Seeing this, Bai Wan walked over curiously, picked up a desk lamp on the table, and slowly approached the door.

Leng Ye and Su Xin saw Bai Wan pick up the desk lamp on the table and walk to the door, with a puzzled look on their faces.

Is the lamp on the table a weird prop?

No way, I remember they checked it when they first rummaged through the house, and there was just an ordinary desk lamp on the table.

As a captain who seems to have some abnormal brain circuits, what do you want to do?
Bai Wan held the desk lamp in his hand and slowly focused his attention on the lamp in his hand.

This is just an ordinary desk lamp.

Bai Wan wanted to test his skills as a craftsman at this time.

It just so happens that this copy is not difficult.

After experiencing death-level difficulty dungeons like The Letter and Deserted Village, he felt much more relaxed when he came to a lower-level dungeon like The Return.

Then, he integrated a trace of strange fire into the lamp, and at the same time added a trace of the craftsman's power.

Wow!

The light of the desk lamp slowly turned blue.

Bai Wan began to make his first weird prop.

He was a little excited, wondering what kind of props would appear.
