The handprint looked like a greyish white wall plaster, and it was very obvious on the dark blue jacket Li Gushu bought for her.
Li Gushu asked: “What did you do just now?”
Bai Qiuye pointed at the ground: “I saw this just now.”
Hearing this, Hei Chunhua walked over and picked up the broken talisman.
Bai Qiuye noticed that he was wearing a pair of dark black gloves, his fingers were long and straight, and his joints were beautifully shaped. But it did not match his face.
“It’s a broken talisman.” Hei Chunhua said, “It was destroyed by someone.”
He walked over and looked at the handprint on Bai Qiuye’s back: “It’s fine.”
Bai Qiuye said nervously: “I don’t think a normal person would think that it’s fine after a ghost handprint appeared on their body.”
“This is just an appetizer.” Hei Chunhua said, “The main course hasn’t been served yet.”
Bai Qiuye turned around to look at him. His stiff and fake face didn’t show any expression, but his eyes faintly revealed his anticipation.
Bai Qiuye panicked.
‘He can’t be a pervert, right?’
“What are you worried about?” Li Gushu said, “With your level—”
She noticed the level icon above Bai Qiuye’s head and stopped talking.
Level 26.
“You’re only level 26?” Li Gushu said in shock.
“Yeah, like I said, I have to hold your thigh.” Bai Qiuye said.
Li Gushu felt like she had been shocked by the truth.
She always thought that Bai Qiuye’s level was higher than hers, and that she was an expert who didn’t want to reveal her name.
She didn’t expect that she was only level 26.
Li Gushu subconsciously glanced at Hei Chunhua.
She told Hei Chunhua that her other teammate was at the same level as her.
Logically speaking, when Hei Chunhua saw Bai Qiuye’s level, he should have questioned it, but he didn’t show any negative emotions, and didn’t even seem surprised.
It was as if he already knew Bai Qiuye’s level.
Li Gushu’s gaze swept across their similar masks, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
Since Hei Chunhua used a disguise item, it meant that Bai Qiuye might also have used one.
The camouflage level adjustment range in the shop is within level 25. Does that mean she is level 50?
The more Li Gushu thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible.
Although level 60 was an insurmountable gap.
Level 50 players had already far exceeded the average.
Seeing Bai Qiuye’s level, Li Guhua couldn’t help but label her as a meticulous person in his heart.
She was enlightened and began to reflect on her carelessness.
Bai Qiuye was clearly far above the average level, but she was still so cautious.
On the other hand, although her level was higher than Bai Qiuye’s, she was far less attentive to details than Bai Qiuye.
Li Gushu: “I want to learn from you.”
Bai Qiuye was dumbfounded.
Learn what? She was clearly only level 1, but she had pretended to be level 26.
The three of them continued walking, and Bai Qiuye was reminiscing as she walked.
When she was young and lived in Golden Eagle Bay, she would occasionally go to the beautiful apartment to play with her neighbors.
She was only seven or eight years old at that time, so she couldn’t remember the specific details of the apartment. However, she remembered that the apartment was divided into two blocks, A and B. Each block was concave, and the two blocks were placed together to form a patio in the middle.
However, the patio was very cramped, and because of the height of the building, it appeared abnormally dark and depressing.
The decoration of the entire first floor of the apartment was very rough. The water pipes were exposed, and the ceiling was very high, and there were many dense pipes above.
Basically no one lived on the first floor. The rooms here were rented out and turned into mahjong rooms, card rooms, acupuncture and therapy rooms, and restaurants.
Bai Qiuye thought that the beautiful apartment in the copy was just a name borrowed.
She didn’t expect the structure of this place to be exactly the same as she remembered.
At this moment, she heard a sound from behind her.
Bai Qiuye turned around and saw that a few more people had arrived at the door of the duty room.
These people had probably arrived at the same time, and they were all crowded at the door.
Li Gushu: “The people behind us are here.”
The people who had just entered the copy also saw them. Some of them waved at them from afar, but the distance between them was too far, so they couldn’t see what these people looked like.
Li Gushu reminded her: “The three of us were recruited, but they might not be. Don’t let it slip later.”
Bai Qiuye nodded in agreement.
After a while, those people caught up with them.
Bai Qiuye saw that there were a total of nine newcomers. There were both men and women, and they were between 15 and 40 years old.
She saw a level 26 woman among them and suddenly made a sound of surprise.
When the woman heard the sound, she looked up and happened to meet her gaze. The woman smiled politely and turned to whisper to the man next to her.
Bai Qiuye pursed her lips and nodded at her.
This woman was Zeng Xianqing, who she met in the supermarket.
At that time, she heard Zeng Xianqing say to her daughter that they would enter the copy “the day after tomorrow” to earn survival coupons. She didn’t expect that they would enter the same copy.
However, Bai Qiuye took into account the mask on her face and didn’t say anything.
Bai Qiuye didn’t recognize the others.
These people did not say hello immediately. Instead, they silently observed each other’s levels.
“Li Gushu?”
She saw a man push aside the people in front of him and walk to the front.
“I didn’t expect to run into you. My luck is pretty good.”
Li Gushu frowned: “It’s you, Zhong Xuan.”
When Bai Qiuye heard this name, she subconsciously thought of Zhong Ying from the previous dungeon.
She didn’t know many people with the surname Zhong. In just a few days, two had appeared in succession.
At this time, she saw Zhong Xuan’s gaze move to her face.
Zhong Xuan: “Level 26.”
Bai Qiuye didn’t know why, but she heard a trace of hostility in his tone.
She asked in return: “This copy doesn’t say that level 26 players can’t enter, right?”
There were a total of 12 people in their group.
Including Bai Qiuye, there were two level 26 players and one level 24.
When Bai Qiuye said this, the other two felt like they had been shot in the knee and turned to look at Zhong Xuan.
However, they didn’t dare to say anything. After all, there was a level 55 icon above Zhong Xuan’s head.
Zhong Xuan shrugged: “I just said it casually. I didn’t mean anything else.”
Bai Qiuye didn’t feel a trace of sincerity from his apology.
From the moment she met Zhong Xuan, Bai Qiuye felt that he had been looking for something among the players.
That probing gaze was like the belly of a poisonous snake, wet and slippery.
However, she still hummed, thinking that it was fortunate that she had disguised her level. Otherwise, if she appeared with a level 1, who knew what this person would say.
“You guys should not block the corridor.” There was the sound of keys clinking. The man in the dutyroom walked over, took off his reading glasses, and hung them on his white vest.
Bai Qiuye could tell that he seemed to be quite concerned about their actions, even to the point of fear.
The man in the dutyroom hurriedly walked a few steps and pulled open a rusty door. He said with a serious expression: “Come in quickly.”
After the door was opened, everyone smelled a strong dampness.
The man in the dutyroom flicked on the light, and a pale white light illuminated the room.
The room seemed to have not been used for many years. A layer of fine black hair covered the white walls, which was mold that grew after the moisture.
Spider webs were everywhere in the corners, and a few caterpillars had died under the webs. The surface of their bodies was dark green, and it looked like they were already moldy.
The area was about 30 square meters, and apart from 20 chairs, there was nothing else.
The man in the dutyroom said: “You guys sit here for a while.”
Bai Qiuye’s gaze swept over the chairs.
She found that these chairs didn’t fit in with the rest of the room.
They were very clean, as if someone had just wiped them clean.
Bai Qiuye asked: “Uncle, when did the night watchman before us leave?”
The man in the dutyroom’s expression changed: “It seems to be, the day before yesterday.”
Bai Qiuye asked again: “How long did they work here before?”
“This is an employee’s privacy, you don’t need to know.” The man in the dutyroom said as he walked out, as if he was avoiding Bai Qiuye’s next question.
“This apartment is a place where yin gathers.” Li Gushu rubbed the goosebumps on her arm, “The places that can receive Yang energy are all blocked by other buildings.”
Not only were they blocked, but there were also many tall buildings in the surroundings, which just happened to surround the beautiful apartment.
The entire building seemed to be trapped, unable to receive the Yang energy of the world.
Among the newcomers, apart from Zhong Xuan, everyone else nodded in agreement after Li Gushu expressed her opinion.
Although Zhong Xuan’s level was also very high, this person had a bad reputation outside.
Moreover, he was a high-profile person, and never closed his personal camera. On the contrary, he had a strong desire to show off, and often created big scenes to attract the audience.
He was vicious and merciless in dungeons, and it was normal for him to do anything to achieve his goal.
When these people first entered the copy and found themselves together with Zhong Xuan, they almost exploded.
But when they saw the Li Gushu at level 60, it was as if they had found a life-saving straw.
Li Gushu was usually very low-key, and not many people knew what she looked like.
