The live stream room was directly shocked, and the barrage began to flash by at an unprecedented speed. Even the viewers who usually didn’t send barrages couldn’t resist.
[Oh my god!!! What happened? Is this beauty the boss of this instance? No way, right? No way, right? (Incredulous.jpg)]
[Ah ah ah! I’m going crazy! I always thought the beauty was innocent, but it turns out the innocent one was me! In this mist, I couldn’t tell if it was a person or a ghost.]
[What does he want to do!? Infiltrate the players’ ranks? And then take the opportunity to kill all the players? Is this instance really that terrifying?]
[But... he lets others call him ‘master,’ if it’s in bed, that’s way too seductive. I can already see him crying from being bullied, and people asking him ‘Is master comfortable?’ ‘Does the master want it faster?’ ‘Does master want it rough?’ and so on, and the little brother instantly stands up.]
[If you put it that way, I won’t be polite either. Let’s bow down to the stone first.]
[Actually, I think it’s great that the players are being hypnotized. Being with this NPC not only pleases the eye but might also provide some clues about the instance.]
The viewers in the live stream room strongly agreed. They had long been fed up with these players always being on the edge and not knowing any important clues. Seeing all this now, they couldn’t make heads or tails of it.
If nothing had happened, it would have been fine, but apparently, a lot had already happened without the players’ knowledge.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t see it, which was absolutely frustrating.
If it weren’t for Lu Rufeng in this instance, they would have switched to another live stream room long ago.
However, the next moment disappointed them.
Ruan Qing looked directly at the advanced male player, with a somewhat condescending tone, and ordered him, “Now, I command you to shut down the live stream room.”
Live stream room viewers: “!!!”
What the heck!?
Shut down... the live stream room!?
Just as the viewers in the live stream room realized this and urgently typed out barrages, the live stream room screen went completely black, and their barrages hadn’t been sent out yet.
The live stream room viewers, unwilling to give up, pressed the send barrage button, but what came out was a system notification sound.
[The streamer you are watching is not currently live, barrage sending failed.]
The live stream room viewers were directly shocked.
What on earth was going on? How did that NPC know about the livestream room?
In the infinite dungeon, there were actually big bosses that knew about players, but these bosses were rare. Basically, it’s very difficult to encounter them, and even if you did, it’s very hard to clear the dungeon.
But this was the first time an NPC had known about the livestream room.
What exactly was going on with this NPC!?
Was it really a dungeon boss, or... a player?
If a player had died, the livestream audience would probably have given up on this dungeon. But now, it’s not death; it’s being forcibly disconnected from the livestream due to hypnosis.
This has piqued the curiosity of the livestream viewers, and they had all flocked to other players’ livestreams to see if they could still catch a glimpse of the advanced male player and that NPC.
The livestream viewers in the advanced male player’s livestream room explained to the viewers in other rooms what had just happened. Some players even posted on forums.
Unfortunately, no one recorded or took screenshots, and the advanced male player’s livestream didn’t have many viewers, so people didn’t really believe them.
However, some viewers were half-skeptical, and they all waited together to see what was really happening.
As a result, they ended up waiting until late in the evening.
When all the players gathered in the designated corner of the hotel, the livestream viewers finally saw the figure of the advanced male player.
And surprisingly, there was no NPC that looked extraordinarily beautiful or horrifyingly grotesque by his side. Instead, there was... a chubby person?
This chubby person appeared to be about 1.78 meters tall but weighed around 160-170 pounds.
He had a black mask and sunglasses on his face, and he was wearing gloves on his hands. His hairstyle was a long, curly, yellow instant noodle look that covered his neck completely.
Moreover, that instant noodle hair was pressed down by a black hat, making his head look small, but the part below the hat was quite large, and it looked quite greasy.
It was also a bit unpleasant to the eyes.
The livestream viewers who had been waiting in suspense fell silent for several seconds before starting to send barrage comments.
[Is this the NPC you guys were talking about as extraordinarily beautiful or grotesque?]
[It... came out quite suddenly, and it really is a kind of grotesque, but it’s completely different from what I imagined! I thought it would be a peerlessly beautiful person.]
[I misunderstood the meaning of ‘grotesque.’ I looked it up, and ‘grotesque’ originally means extremely ugly. Oh no, I thought it was that NPC from before, and I was hoping a little bit.]
[Having waited for the same period of time, the reason I’ve been watching up to now is to see him, but the result is that there have been too few sightings of him...]
The other players discreetly examined the chubby guy several times.
The player with yellow hair turned to the advanced male player, with a hint of hesitation in his voice, “Who is this...?”
The advanced male player glanced at the chubby guy beside him and calmly replied, “A player who was with me during the investigation, so we decided to work together.”
Players weren’t always in the same place every time they entered a dungeon. Often, players were separated.
Nothing special about it.
Upon hearing this, the other players withdrew their gazes and began sharing the results of their investigation that afternoon.
“All the residents of the Xishan Residential Area know about the Xiao Xi role-playing game, but they can’t seem to describe the specific content of the role-playing game. It’s really quite suspicious.”
“Clearly, this role-playing game about Xiao Xi is an important clue. We must find out what the content of the role-playing is.”
“The role-playing game started at Xishan Kindergarten. We should be able to find clues there.”
The chubby guy... also known as Ruan Qing, pondered after listening to the players’ analysis.
It was just as he had thought.
But it wasn’t just the content of the role-playing game that was problematic; he suspected that the child chosen to play ‘Xiao Xi’ might also have issues.
When he was investigating with the advanced male player this afternoon, he specifically asked if anyone’s child had played ‘Xiao Xi’.
However, the residents of Xishan Residential Area could only mumble, as if they knew, yet didn’t know.
And it wasn’t just one resident; it was the same with all the residents Ruan Qing had asked.
Clearly, it was a role everyone was eager to play, so how could they not know which child had played it?
There must be some problem with this.
Perhaps they could start with the child who had recently played the role of ‘Xiao Xi’.
However, even though Ruan Qing thought this way, he didn’t say it out loud.
He was currently in disguise, and it was better to keep a low profile.
Once Ruan Qing identified that the advanced male was a player, he decided to infiltrate the players directly.
His previous NPC identity was too dangerous; the murderer must have remembered his face.
And since he had already fabricated the illusion of Zhou Qing being kidnapped, it’s best for him not to show up anymore.
This way, he could act more conveniently and wouldn’t disrupt the storyline.
So, Ruan Qing disguised himself in his current appearance.
His hair was naturally a wig; curly hair gave the impression of a much larger field of view, avoiding the appearance of a small head.
As for his body shape, he simply added a lot of things inside.
It’s a bit hot and a bit heavy, but he should be fine for five days.
If there’s a need to run, he would have advanced male player carry him.
Moreover, he had disguised himself to look so unattractive; he shouldn’t attract the attention of perverts.
A player’s identity was much freer than that of special NPCs.
There’s no need to consider character settings; you could do whatever you want.
Just as the players were discussing whether to investigate the Xishan Kindergarten, a black figure suddenly walked in at the hotel’s entrance.
Everyone turned to look, including Ruan Qing.
Ruan Qing’s eyes widened when he saw who had walked in.
...Li Shuyang?
Instinctively, Ruan Qing moved behind the other players, letting them shield his figure for the most part.
Although he had encountered an old acquaintance, Ruan Qing wasn’t very happy.
Li Shuyang gave him a bad feeling, often exuding a stifling sense of madness.
For example, handing him a love letter, clearly not for investigating clues by his side, just on his own initiative.
If it’s not for investigating clues, approaching and giving him a love letter like this player did probably meant there’s something wrong with their mind.
And Li Shuyang’s strength was definitely not weak; surviving until the end of the game already showed that he’s not an ordinary person.
It’s better to avoid such acquaintances; if Li Shuyang was also a hidden pervert, it would only increase the game’s difficulty.
The game’s difficulty was already high enough.
The other players had some impression of Li Shuyang; they were all investigating in groups, while he was the only player who left without saying a word.
It’s evident that he’s a lone wolf player.
So when he returned later than the agreed time, they didn’t say anything.
Li Shuyang walked slowly to the corner.
Originally, he only casually glanced at everyone, but his gaze suddenly stopped on a chubby guy.
Ruan Qing naturally felt Li Shuyang’s gaze. He slightly tightened the hand under his sleeve, appearing as if he hadn’t noticed, and continued listening to the players’ discussion.
However, to everyone’s surprise, after Li Shuyang looked at Ruan Qing for a few seconds, he walked directly toward him, filled with an imposing aura, stood in front of him, and then coldly asked, “Who are you?”
Baha hah exposed~
