    Chapter 25 First update “Mom, am I really safe…

    “Mom, am I really safe?”The well-dressed man timidly asked the woman next to him.

    She has an extraordinary feminine temperament, but her expression is quite haggard, and she looks a little skinny. She seems to have been running around for a long time.

    She hugged her lost son and said with certainty: “Shanshan, it’s okay, you are already okay.”

    His mother’s words failed to comfort Yu Liangshan, he still looked in shock.

    “Don’t worry.The mother gently stroked her son’s hair and said, “We will take you to a place far, far away. You will never be able to catch up with that ‘game’.””

    “Um.”Yu Liangshan looked out the window. The private plane was flying across the ocean with his family regardless of cost.

    This is the life he is accustomed to, which is completely different from the dank horror in the copy.

    After being in a daze for a while, Yu Liangshan finally realized that he had really escaped from the game.

    No matter how overbearing the game is, is it possible that we can still find ourselves across continents and oceans?

    Yu Liangshan’s heart dropped: “Mom, how did you rescue me?”

    “Shanshan, you don’t have to worry about so much.”

    Yu Liangshan did not give up, he stubbornly said: “I want to know.”

    In the dungeon, everyone told him that as long as he came in, he would be doomed, and he would never be able to get out. They told him to give up his fantasy and accept his fate quickly.

    In the end, he still came out.

    Those people are indeed alarmists.

    The woman hesitated for a long time, then said truthfully: “It was replaced.”

    “Change?”

    “For one, do you still remember the butterfly brooch I asked you to carry with you? It was a prop bought from an expert.We met an expert at the beginning of the year. He said that you will be in trouble in the future and wearing a brooch can save your life.”

    “At that time, we were just trying to feel at ease, but we didn’t expect it to be really effective… right, it was the one that replaced you.”

    Yu Liangshan was startled. He thought it was an ordinary brooch before, but after entering the dungeon, he discovered that it was a prop with many uses. At that time, he had no time to think about the ins and outs, so he could only hurriedly release the butterfly to ask for help.

    That’s it.

    “This money is not in vain. Next time I see the master, I can buy some more treasures from him.”The woman said happily.

    Yu Liangshan frowned, and a question suddenly occurred to him.

    One by one, he has come out safely, so who will go in and die on his behalf?

    A name naturally appeared in his mind.

    Yu Ying.

    The annoying adopted son of the family.

    From the moment he could remember, Yu Liangshan hated this adopted son very much. He always suspected that he would steal his parents’ favor and resources. He made trouble for many years before his parents finally let him go.

    A few years passed and he almost forgot about this person. He never expected that it could have such an effect.

    Is Yu Ying just an orphan that no one cares about? So what if he disappears? It is indeed the best choice.

    Yu Liangshan, who knew the truth, was not touched at all, but felt lucky: “It’s Yu Ying?”

    The woman didn’t speak, which was considered acquiescence.

    “Live well from now on.”The woman looked at her son with pity and comforted him with a gentle voice.

    “Hmm.”

    Yu Liangshan gradually relaxed.

    He knew that his parents were omnipotent and there must be a way to save him.

    So nice.

    Yu Liangshan closed his eyes, and when he woke up, he would return to his familiar life.

    The days in the dungeon are like a nightmare, and they will be forgotten sooner or later.

    He gradually fell into sleep.

    In his daze, he seemed to hear his mother’s heart-rending screams.

    Why…isn’t everything safe? Yu Liangshan wanted to open his eyes, but found that he couldn’t do it.

    ·

    Another day’s work has ended.

    The customer service staff left work happily.

    As soon as he left the office building, Zhang Yu encountered a group of white butterflies. The butterflies were flying up and down around him, looking like they wanted to cling to him.

    Zhang Yu: “…”

    Could it be that I have eaten too many sweets recently and the sweets have been pickled, which is why butterflies like it so much? Zhang Yu had to doubt himself.

    If you go on like this, you might get diabetes.

    Alas, life is so difficult.

    Zhang Yu waved the butterflies away, but they still followed him reluctantly, attracting passers-by to look at him with surprise.

    “…”

    Zhang Yu lost countless jobs in the past because of being “alien”. He studied hard for a long time before he became normal. He didn’t want to be noticed as a monster at all.

    After walking a few steps, Zhang Yu suddenly stopped and threatened viciously: “If you follow me again, I will make you into a specimen.”

    As if the butterfly could understand human nature, it actually stopped where it was and did not move forward.

    Back home, everything is business as usual.

    Tong Guoqiang went to set up the stall as usual, and Zhang Yu followed the steps: eat, study, fall asleep… and then was woken up again late at night.

    Zhang Yu: “!”

    The high-quality sleep he was proud of was interrupted again, and he was really angry.

    Angrily, Zhang Yu slipped out of the bed, opened the door suddenly, and then saw a figure walking in the dark, seemingly looking for something, and turned over the things in the house all over the floor.

    Zhang Yu turned on the light, and sure enough, Tong Guoqiang was sleepwalking again.

    Once again, Zhang Yuzheng was about to send the old man back to the bedroom as usual, but he spotted another figure out of the corner of his eye.

    This figure squatted on the balcony, completely hidden in the darkness. If it weren’t for Zhang Yu’s good eyesight, others might not be able to spot it.

    Zhang Yu was stunned.

    Tong Guoqiang is right in front of him. Who is the person on the balcony?

    A lot of news flashed through Zhang Yu’s mind, and he slowly realized the other party’s identity – he was most likely a thief.

    Even this kind of house full of junk must be stolen!The thieves in other TV dramas also emphasize that thieves are also ethical, robbing the rich and giving to the poor, etc. This little thief is good at targeting a house full of poor people.

    Zhang Yu was furious, even more angry than when he was woken up.

    Why is he like this? Even if he orders three melons and two dates, someone will miss him!

    The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Zhang Yu pushed away the confused Tong Guoqiang, picked up the rolling pin and moved towards the balcony.

    Die.

    A thief without a wink.

    There is a price to pay for thinking about the poor man’s money.

    The thief on the balcony obviously didn’t expect Zhang Yu to be so reckless and dared to rush directly towards him.

    In the panic, the thief’s feet slipped and he almost fell off the balcony.

    In just a moment, Zhang Yu had already reached the balcony and reached out to catch the thief.

    The thief was small, not fully prepared, and didn’t bring any weapons. He was caught by Zhang Yu by surprise.

    He also knew that something was wrong, so he could only struggle desperately, but Zhang Yu was so powerful that he couldn’t compete with him at all. He was beaten several times in just one encounter.

    During the struggle, Zhang Yu grabbed the thief by the back of his neck and tried to drag him out. He was about to succeed.

    The thief suddenly let out an irritated “tsk” sound, and then a white light suddenly lit up on his body, which stung Zhang Yu so much that he had to close his eyes.

    In the panic, Zhang Yu seemed to hear the creaking sound of a wooden door opening.

    When the discomfort in his eyes subsided, the little thief was no longer on the balcony.

    What is this? Zhang Yu was shocked. Is it a flash bomb or something?It nearly blinded him.

    Zhang Yuzai carefully searched the balcony but found nothing, so Fang Zhen took the opportunity to slip away.

    Today’s thief equipment is quite advanced.

    Although people from all walks of life are involved in fraud, does a thief need to be involved in this kind of fraud?

    When Zhang Yu turned around and returned indoors, Tong Guoqiang, who had been sleepwalking just now, suddenly woke up and was staring at the balcony with a thoughtful expression.

    “You…” Zhang Yu stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Tong Guoqiang’s eyes, “Are you really awake?”

    Tong Guoqiang looked away, his eyes full of doubts and shock.

    “Did you see someone on the balcony just now?” Zhang Yu said angrily after failing to catch the thief, “It’s probably a thief. Let him escape and call the police.”

    Zhang Yu originally thought that Tong Guoqiang’s carefree character would definitely not tolerate a thief. With his style, he would have wished that the police could suddenly descend from the sky and block the thief’s path.

    Unexpectedly, Tong Guoqiang did not answer this question. After a while, he said: “There is no need to retaliate.”

    “ah?”

    “I know what’s going on.”Tong Guoqiang waved his hands without refusal, and returned to his bedroom with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

    Zhang Yu was confused. What does it mean to know something well?

    Could it be that the thief was his relative and the old man chose to swallow his anger?

    So strange, so complicated… Zhang Yu, who lay back on the bed, was still puzzled and even a little insomnia.

    No, no, tomorrow? I have to go to work.

    Zhang Yu took a deep breath, forced himself to clear his mind, and then fell asleep again.

    ·

    The ghost painter stood in the office, with several white butterflies flying up and down around him.

    “He’s off work, of course you can’t see him now.”The ghost painter said helplessly to the butterflies.

    As soon as these words came out, the butterflies became even more excited and flapped their wings non-stop.

    The ghost painter was funny: “Aren’t you props for the joker? How can you do that? Zhang Yu likes it so much, so be careful of being punished by the joker. As far as I know, he doesn’t like disloyal props.”

    The butterflies were very dissatisfied with the ghost painter’s words and gathered together to create a somewhat aggressive momentum.

    “Okay, okay, don’t be afraid.The ghost painter spread his hands and said, “Speaking of Potian, he is off work now. If you want to see him, just wait… Anyway, he will still come to work tomorrow.””

    After hearing this, the butterflies calmed down a little.

    Looking at the eager butterfly, the ghost painter curled his lips: “It’s really interesting.”

    These butterflies are the iconic props of the joker. Although they have no offensive power, they have a high degree of freedom in functional development and can transcend time and space. They are currently the only props that can enter and exit the real world, so their value goes without saying.

    But they actually had an extraordinary interest in Zhang Yu.

    He was lost in thought when a heavy sound suddenly came from the door. Looking around, he saw a young man standing there.

    It’s Yu Liangshan.

    Yu Liangshan looked around, his eyes full of disbelief. He groped around anxiously, seemingly unable to figure out how he ended up in this place.

    After struggling for a long time, Yu Liangshan noticed the figure not far away. He hurried over and asked in panic: “Who are you and where are you?”Where are my parents!I obviously…I obviously…”

    The ghost painter’s eyes fell on Yu Liangshan calmly, and he knew in his heart that he was just another player who was deceived by the joker and wanted to escape from the game.

    This is not the first time something like this has happened.

    The joker can allow players to leave the game for a short period of time, but it can only go so far. When the player relaxes and comes back, the pursuit of the game will come unexpectedly.

    No matter where players escape, the game can always bring them back.

    It’s a crude trick, but there will always be people who believe it one after another. It’s a waste of effort, and in the end, it just becomes the joker’s laughing stock.

    Waiting for no answer, Yu Liangshan, who was in a daze due to the ups and downs, had already started to take action on his own. He ran around the office randomly and even tried to escape through the window, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.

    The ghost painter watched silently as he scurried around like a headless fly until he was exhausted and collapsed on the ground.

    “Why is this young master from a rich family so embarrassed?”A butterfly flew over, and joker’s gloating voice came from the butterfly, “Looking at it makes people feel happy, don’t you think so, Ghost Painter.”

    The ghost painter smiled: “I’m not as elegant as you.”

    “It’s funny.”Joker let out a creepy laugh, “The parents of this young master are really rich, and they are willing to spend any amount of money for their son… It’s a pity, the money is really not interesting to me.”

    “Seeing them fetching water from a bamboo basket but in vain, working hard and finally getting an adopted son at the expense of others, this is much more interesting than money, and it makes my heart surge.”

    “Really?”The ghost painter said casually, showing no interest in joker’s fun.

    The joker stopped boasting, and fell into a strange silence. After a while, he asked, “You haven’t given up on that ridiculous idea yet…””
