I made myself the protagonist

"Brother Ling, I met Miss Lin today. We heard a lot of things from her. It was really eye-opening! Do you know, she said that after she entered the space..." Wei Chongming was about to speak to Ling Yun excitedly. Regarding the matter of the man in black, Lin Qing interrupted.

"Let's talk about this later. At the moment, I'm more concerned about the treasure hunt game. As a newcomer, I don't have any experience in fighting in this area. I wonder if I can ask you for some tips?"

Lin Qing smiled slightly and looked at Ling Yun with interest.

"Yes, regarding some details of the treasure hunt game, the person involved should be able to describe it more clearly than we can. Ling Yun is indeed a meticulous person, and he can often notice many clues that are not easily discovered by others."

Shen Tinglan Shen Tinglan calmly took over the conversation, while Xiaolong and Hubert quickly changed the topic after they realized what they were saying.

Wei Chongming took an embarrassed sip of tea, and then he realized that he had disrespected Lin Qing just now.

He was always outspoken, and Ling Yun was a trustworthy person to him, so he didn't think twice and almost said something directly related to the safety of other people's lives.

Unlike them, to Lin Qing, Ling Yun was just a stranger after all. He should not rashly tell other people's secrets without asking for their consent.

"It was just a fluke that I was able to pass the level last time. I can't ask for advice. I analyzed some useful information based on previous experience and the information provided by other companions. Let's start with the most basic team formation and map copy... "Ling Yun didn't reveal anything on the surface, but he had already guessed it in his heart.

Although he wanted to know what Lin Qing had experienced before as a fellow traveler from another dimension; but Lin Qing did not understand him and was unwilling to talk about some things, which was understandable to Ling Yun.

After all, he has not told his other companions his secret until now.

Now that he saw Lin Qing, Ling Yun felt much more at ease than at the beginning. He had heard Wei Chongming and others say before that, unlike other NPCs, as an ordinary woman, Lin Qing would deal with danger when she encountered it. The way to deal with it is calmer than most people.

With innate qualities like hers, she is indeed very suitable to become a player.

Since he agreed to keep Lin Qing's secret, Ling Yun did not intend to embarrass other companions. Rather than being relayed by others, he could know more details by directly asking himself.

By following this treasure hunt, I can gain Lin Qing's trust through cooperation. It won't be too late to ask for clues when I get closer to Lin Qing.

After dinner, everyone left the hotel and prepared to go home. Shen Tinglan gave Lin Qing the address of the base, and the group made an appointment to meet tomorrow. Ling Yun crossed the road and planned to walk to the bus stop, but suddenly felt someone following him. He When he turned around, he found that it was Lin Qing who was dragging his suitcase.

"The hotel I booked is also in this direction." Lin Qing took the initiative and said, "It was recommended by Miss Su. She said it is close to your base and has convenient transportation."

"Oh, it's the Orange Boutique. The place I want to take the bus is right across from it. We are indeed on the way."

Ling Yun thought of the hotel near the base. He looked at the other party's suitcase and backpack, and asked the other party if he needed help out of politeness.

"It doesn't matter, I don't have many things." Lin Qing smiled.

It was evening, and there were very few pedestrians on the street. Under the street lights, Ling Yun and Lin Qing walked slowly side by side, neither of them speaking.

At this moment, Ling Yun racked his brains to find some topics to break the silence, but he was afraid of offending the other party. After all, he was not familiar with the other party, and there seemed to be nothing to talk about...

Pretending to take out his cell phone to check the time, Ling Yun glanced at Lin Qing. Seeing that the other person had a calm face, he seemed to have nothing to talk to him about.

Thinking of the usual chats between girls in the base, about the fact that strange men frequently talked to her when they met for the first time. Girls seemed to hate the opposite sex who were too proactive. In order to avoid arousing disgust, Ling Yun simply decided to shut up.

Fortunately, this section of the road was not long, and soon Ling Yun saw the station.

"Ms. Lin, the hotel is just in front. I'm going to take the car first. Let's meet at the base tomorrow..." Ling Yun said a simple goodbye to the other party, but Lin Qing stood there, staring straight at him with his eyes, which made Ling Yun feel sad.

There's something indescribably weird about it.

"Miss Lin, do you... have anything you want to tell me?" Ling Yun asked doubtfully. Although the other party tried his best to hide it, Ling Yun could still feel the other party's unnaturalness.

As if she had something to say but was held back, Lin Qing hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and waved to Ling Yun: "It's okay, good night."

Ling Yun did not continue to ask. Seeing that the bus was about to arrive, he quickened his pace and ran towards the station. Lin Qing crossed the road and watched the bus drive away. She stopped and let go of her suitcase.

"In the end...is it a coincidence?" Lin Qing murmured to herself, her right hand unconsciously touching her neck.

Even though several months had passed and she had experienced many missions during this period, the only memory that prevented her from getting rid of the fear of death and the moment of despair was the man in black she encountered in her first novice mission.

Even compared to the first time when the evil spirit broke his neck and killed him directly, this memory was more terrifying.

The blood continued to flow out along the wound, the pain in the body, the difficulty in breathing caused by the punctured lung, and the dark and cold muzzle of the gun made Lin Qing truly feel that life was slowly passing by.

As death was approaching, her vision gradually became blurred. The only thing she could remember was what the man in black said to her when he took off his helmet, and... with the muzzle of the gun pressed between her eyebrows, Lin Qing

I saw the black lotus tattoo on the other person’s neck.

Lin Qing can no longer remember the man's voice. What is certain is that the man in black is a young man, over 1.8 meters tall, speaks without a dialect accent, is under forty years old, and has a well-proportioned build.

, strong and vigorous.

Looking at the entire space, there are many players who meet the above characteristics. Only the pattern and location of the tattoo are clues that Lin Qing can directly identify the opponent's identity.

Although at first she just wanted to leave space and return to her original world, Lin Qing's thoughts gradually changed after she was involved in this inexplicable pursuit.

After executing the mission until now, after witnessing the wanton killing of those dungeon NPCs, she suddenly realized how lucky she was. While she was thankful, what emerged in her heart was more sadness and unwillingness.

Lin Qing no longer simply wants to escape and survive; those so-called NPCs are also living human beings and should not be allowed to be manipulated and killed by the space. Although he does not know the purpose of the man in black, his existence is the same as the space.

For many innocent people, it is undoubtedly the biggest nightmare.

In the past four months, Lin Qing has also been trying to find two other players who are in the same situation as himself. Lin Qing wants to join forces with them to deal with the man in black.

However, finding her companions was far more difficult than she initially imagined. After all, the other two were facing the same dangers as herself, so everyone must have disguised their identities in space so that they would not be discovered easily.

While searching for the person, Lin Qing did not intend to sit still and wait for death. Now that she was still alive, the man in black would never give up. There were many participants in the treasure hunt, which was a perfect opportunity to start. And a fateful coincidence also made her at this juncture Wei Chongming and others met.

This time Lin Qing took the initiative to sign up, not entirely pinning her hope of leaving on the desire to communicate.

Lin Qing's real purpose is to draw out the man in black and have a final decisive battle with him.

But what Lin Qing didn't expect was that that person would appear before the game started. Ling Yun... was the man in black who had been killing NPCs all this time, actually him?

Lin Qing did not dare to draw direct conclusions before having definite evidence at hand.

What's more, judging from Shen Ting's description of Lan Suli and the others, as well as the other party's wish to resurrect others, Ling Yun and the man in black are definitely not the same person.

Lin Qing is very confident about her ability to spy on the soul. As long as she conducts a little testing in the base tomorrow, the truth will definitely come out!
