Lu Miao had already knocked on it with his fingers.

"Tuk, Tuk, Tuk."

The moment the knock on the door fell, the lights in the entire room lit up with a "pop", and a beam of warm yellow light just shone on Qi Huai's body, dyeing his beautiful black coat with a hazy golden color.

In an instinctive reaction to the brightening of the light, Qi Huai's round pupils instantly tightened and became a thin line.

Lu Miao calmly looked at the sudden light, the curvature of his lips not changing at all.

It was indeed just a pretense to find someone to ask about the situation. Just as Qi Huai thought, he came here because he thought this place was weird.

What initially made him suspicious was the three extra rooms.

In the original "Ideal Town", after players entered the game, they were not all crowded into one house like this copy.

Under normal circumstances, each player will have a basic house when they first enter the game. The houses of different players are all in the same place in the town, but are scattered on different lines.

It's like countless parallel worlds, connected to the same exit. Each line represents a parallel world, and the exits of these worlds are connected to ideal towns.

The player character in "Ideal Town" inherits a whole piece of land from his grandfather. The player can choose to live with his friends, or he can choose to occupy a line alone. If he chooses to live with his friends,

, your friend’s cabin will appear on the land of your own route.

However, in the copy of "A Calm Day", four players all appear in the same room. This makes the cabin next to it look very suspicious.

Maybe it's another "player" NPC assigned to them by the dungeon, maybe it's a stage boss like Lao Wang and Cui Yuxiang who may turn into a hostile monster at any time, or maybe it's inhabited by other insignificant NPCs.

Another reason for suspicion was that when he glanced through the window earlier, he noticed that the exterior wall of this house was exceptionally clean.

As a dungeon with a farming background, the two houses were surrounded by wildly growing plants. Before they set off, Lu Miao turned around and found that the outer walls of the player's house were covered with vines.

If this is also an uninhabited house, there should be more than just grass growing on the roof.

Even if it seems uninhabited for the time being, in such a supernatural copy, a house that is uninhabited but looks very neat can still become "lively" at any time.

After the knock on the door, the door opened quickly.

Warm yellow light came out as the door opened, giving people a sense of stability and peace of mind. Several people outside the door looked at the light, except Lu Miao, but they all had expressions as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Lu Miao narrowed his eyes in discomfort and looked at the man who came out. He was surprised to find that the man was not any NPC he was familiar with.

Another new character.

Lu Miao's mood was a little subtle. Firstly, he remembered the golden retriever from the previous copy, and secondly, the NPC in front of him was too exquisitely modeled.

Fang Siqi and Yu Qian behind them were stunned for a moment when they saw the man. Fang Siqi's ears turned red and he quickly looked away. Even Yu Qian seemed to be greatly shocked, and he was stunned.

Look at each other.

Only Qi Huai reacted quickly, and his eyes when he looked over were a little subtle.

The man's upper body was bare, as if he had just come out of the shower. His muscle lines were elegant and sharp, and his plump but not exaggerated muscles were just right covering every inch of his body. The beautiful mermaid line was submerged in the bath towel around his waist, which made people think.

There was still water vapor on his body from the shower, steaming up against his skin. All of his bright blond hair was pushed toward the back of his head, leaving only a disobedient strand of hair standing in front of his forehead, with water dripping from the end.

The water droplets passed over his beautiful eyebrows, dripped onto his body, and mixed with the water droplets elsewhere.

The man's eyes stayed on Lu Miao.

Lu Miao felt for no reason that the man's eyes gave him a feeling of déjà vu, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

[Trigger the main mission: Explore the secrets of the rental house.]

[Trigger side mission: Gain the favorability of the neighbor and learn about the past of the rental house from him. 】

[Congratulations to the player "Lu Miao" for leading the dungeon players to trigger the main mission in the shortest time and achieving the achievement of "taking the lead". Achievement reward: 20 minutes of system recommendation in the newbie live broadcast area. 】

[Please note: The live broadcast room of player "Lu Miao" has been integrated with the live broadcast rooms of three other players. Players who enter the live broadcast from the recommended position of player "Lu Miao" will simultaneously watch the live broadcast screens of the other three players. 】

[Detailed explanation of multiplayer live broadcast rules: When players enter the live broadcast room, if they need to collect, subscribe, or invest in the live broadcast room, they will pay basic points multiplied by the number of points in the copy, that is, 4 times the points.

During the duration of the current recommendation position, the player "Lu Miao" will receive the maximum share, and the increased share ratio will be shared by the other three players until the next player ascends to the recommendation position.

If player "Lu Miao" is still in the recommended position, the increased share will be shared by the remaining two players, and so on.]

Since it was a multiplayer copy and the hostile mode was not turned on, these messages appeared simultaneously on other people's system interfaces. The other three were stunned, and their eyes on the blond man suddenly shifted to Lu Miao's face.

It's "the shortest time" again.

The three of them knew more or less about Lu Miao's last live broadcast, especially the first hidden achievement triggered by Lu Miao. After more people purchased the achievement replay, the conditions for the achievement had already spread everywhere.

, which means “triggering family law in the shortest possible time.”

Although they had not collected any information about this dungeon before they came in, they could think of it with just their toes. Lu Miao would definitely have broken or equaled some record.

Otherwise, the system prompt will not include the condition "fastest".

Fang Siqi and Lu Miao were not familiar with each other, and they might even be from Su Anqi's side. Qi Huai didn't like to do things that had a sense of presence. In addition, there were NPCs present, so it was inconvenient to ask. The three of them were scratching their heads with curiosity.

Although he was worried, he could only watch helplessly as Lu Miao talked to that ridiculously good-looking NPC.

Because of that inexplicable sense of familiarity, Lu Miao was very fond of the NPC in front of him. He put away the surprise and confusion in his eyes and smiled kindly at the man: "Hello, my name is Lu Miao, and I am the tenant who just moved next door.

."

The man looked at his delicate and white palm strangely, stretched out his hand to shake his, but quickly took it back.

The moment he touched the palm of his hand, Lu Miao felt a strange feeling, as if a weak electric current was flowing through him. But when the other person let go, he found that everything in his palm was as usual.

When he looked up again, Louis' expression seemed to have returned to normal, showing a bright smile: "Hello, my name is Louis. I just moved here not long ago."

Before Lu Miao could figure out how the other party spoke word by word, the system pop-up window about Louis' character information suddenly popped up.

[NPC card refresh:

Name:Louis

Occupation:? (unlocked)

Location: the door of the neighbor's cabin

Personality:? (unlocked)

Favorability: 50]

Faced with a stranger who had just moved next door, Louis had a pretty good impression of Lu Miao.

Lu Miao raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then heard the other party ask: "Have you rented the house next door?"

Lu Miao came back to his senses, smiled and asked, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Louis' expression was very indescribable, as if there was something unspeakable. His sharp brows were furrowed, and with his beautiful blond hair, he looked like a big dog that had been caught in the rain.

He hesitated for a while, and finally spoke: "Something bad happened in the house next door. My friend who moved in with me just died there a few days ago. The police searched for a long time but couldn't find out the cause. The body is still there.

Inside...didn’t you find it when you moved in?”

Yu Qian originally wanted to get closer and listen to the information, but when he heard this, he immediately took his feet back.

Meeting Lu Miao's questioning gaze, he scratched his head in confusion: "No. There is nothing in my room. When I came out and closed the door, I looked under the bed and it was clean."

The other two people also shook their heads, indicating that they didn't notice it.

Louis frowned and murmured strangely: "Did the police take the body away? But why didn't they tell me about it..."

Lu Miao was thoughtful, and after a while, he continued to ask him: "What you just said, it seems that more than one bad thing happened here, did anything else happen besides that?"

Louis looked around, his face changed slightly, and he lowered his voice and said: "My friend and I are actually doing supernatural live broadcasts. We came here to rent a house because there was a case of a missing tenant here..."

According to Louis, there was a disappearance case in the house that Lu Miao and his family rented about last month. The family of three who rented here suddenly disappeared after going to the place and reporting to their family that they were safe.

Already.

It is said that the police searched for a long time but failed to find the family. The couple and their children seemed to have disappeared from the world. Not only were their bodies missing, but their luggage was also missing.

"...The police concluded that it was a burglary and murder. But after we came here, we pretended to be tourists and interviewed people in the town. Some people said that the family didn't look like they were very rich. And -"

Louis suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Lu Miao's rental house. Looking from this direction, he could just see the outer wall of their house.

The light from the window illuminates a small area around it, and the mottled shadows on the exterior wall can be vaguely seen.

"It is said that they had cleaned the dead vines on the exterior walls when they came. When we went to explore, we found that no one had taken care of those walls for at least several decades," Louis said.

This is consistent with what Lu Miao observed.

Lu Miao originally planned to give it up as soon as it was good, but looking at Louis who was looking at him with a worried look on his face, and thinking of his high favorability score of 50, he suddenly came up with an interesting idea.

His calm expression finally changed, as if he was frightened by what Louis described. His fair face became paler and his lips trembled: "Really? This is really terrible. Then you can put you two

Can you give me the information you collected about this matter?"

There was no connection between the two sentences before and after. There was obvious confusion on Louis' face. Even behind Lu Miao, Yu Qian and the three others' expressions changed.

However, Yu Qian and Fang Siqi stared at Lu Miao in shock. They didn't understand why he suddenly asked the NPC for information so bluntly. If the NPC in front of them had another identity, they would be violent and kill them now.

It's not impossible.

Qi Huai, who could probably guess what Lu Miao was going to do, twitched his lips with a speechless expression and silently turned his head away.

The next second, I heard Lu Miao's slow and smooth voice: "I'm so weak."

Qi Huai: "..."

Louis: "?"
