Chapter 170 "Ahhhh!"

"Ahhh!"

Just as Mu Chen and Mingmei were implying to Lu Xiaoyao that although the character was honest, the person playing it wasn't, Lu Xiaoyao's scream could be heard clearly through the door.

Mu Chen raised his eyebrows at Mingmei, as if to say, "See? I told you."

"Something happened?"

However, this time Lu Xiaoyao's scream sounded less like her usual startling herself and more like she had been frightened by someone else.

"Ahhh!"

The screaming continued.

"Something really happened!"

Mingmei and Mu Chen reached a consensus and rushed out the door together.

As soon as she went out, she saw Li Yuan running out of the room next door. When he met Mu Chen and Mingmei, there was a strange look in his eyes.

He seemed to be wondering how Mu Chen was in the same room with an NPC or a boxed-lunch merchant NPC.

"Help! Ahhhh!"

Before he could think about it, the three of them heard Lu Xiaoyao's screams coming from the end of the corridor, this time directly calling for help.

It was the Sky Garden!

Hearing this, they immediately ran towards the sound.

When the group arrived, they saw Lu Xiaoyao holding a small box in one hand and a piece of old newspaper with unclear content in the other, with Lou Jia protecting her behind him.

Standing in front of Lou Jia and Lu Xiaoyao was Yige, with Charlie red-eyed and emotionally unstable.

"Give me back my things."

Charlie's eyes were fixed on the things in Lu Xiaoyao's hands. Even the others who came over noticed how much Charlie valued what Lu Xiaoyao had found.

"What are you holding in your arms?"

Lou Jia, who had been startled by Lu Xiaoyao's sudden rush, immediately protected Lu Xiaoyao when he heard her shouting "Save me," acting faster than he thought, and stopped Charlie, who was rushing behind Lu Xiaoyao.

At the moment, the other party's mental state was obviously not right.

What exactly happened?

Now, looking at the other party's almost frantic but restrained self, lowering his voice and asking Lu Xiaoyao to hand over the things in her hand, Lou Jia also noticed that Lu Xiaoyao might have discovered something crucial.

"His parents' ashes."

After Lu Xiaoyao finished speaking, everyone took a breath. Even the jCs on the side were speechless and asked, "Why did you take someone else's parents' ashes for no reason?"

"I don't know either. Who told him not to enshrine his parents' ashes properly, but to put them in a box with other things? I haven't had time to look..."

"Give it to me!"

Before Lu Xiaoyao could finish complaining, Charlie roared again, scaring Lu Xiaoyao.

Lu Xiaoyao's breathing quickened with the shout: "Just give it, what's with the yelling?"

Lu Xiaoyao remembered how she had been frightened by the other party's sudden change of face and ran so far. Now, before she could say a few more words, the other party yelled at her again, making her wish she could smash the box directly on the other party's head. But thinking that there were human ashes inside, Lu Xiaoyao finally moved her lips and said in a low voice, "I'll give it to you, really... come and get it."

As she said that, she was about to hand the box to the other party, but Lou Jia intercepted the box halfway.

"Wait, you said there's a notebook besides the ashes?"

"Yeah... like a notebook, maybe folded paper... but I haven't seen it clearly."

"Then I..."

Lou Jia nodded, indicating that since Lu Xiaoyao hadn't seen it, he might as well return the ashes to Charlie and check the diary himself. Seeing the other party's nervousness just now, the character Charlie played was also full of doubts.

"Careful!"

Mingmei was the first to react to Charlie's actions.

Just as Lou Jia intercepted Lu Xiaoyao's behavior of returning the box, the string called "reason" in Charlie's mind completely broke. Before Lou Jia could say his next plan, Charlie lunged at Lou Jia!

"Here I go!"

The two jCs also never expected that a player would dare to attack an NPC who was playing a jC in this day and age. Seeing this, they were about to rush up to stop him.

Naturally, Lu Xiaoyao, who was hiding behind Lou Jia, was also implicated by Charlie's pounce. She was hit and took several steps back, then fell on the glass window on the edge of the Sky Garden behind her.

Lou Jia had previously explored the situation outside the window. Because the glass was not tightly closed, Lu Xiaoyao pushed the window open when she fell.

Then, one of the two people behind her who knocked her down stepped on Lu Xiaoyao's calf.

"Ah!!!"

Hearing Lu Xiaoyao's scream, Mingmei saw Lu Xiaoyao, who had not stood still, tilted her body and fell to the ground along the glass wall. The two people lost their balance and rushed out through the glass that Lu Xiaoyao had pushed open!

Everyone: 0.0!!

Lu Xiaoyao: What just flew over my head _(:з」∠)_?

"Ha!"

Just as Mingmei was about to close her eyes and didn't want to see two people fall from the building alive in front of her, the two NPCs who had wanted to stop Charlie from going crazy finally played their role. Seeing this, they didn't hesitate at all. One person flew out directly, and the other tightly hugged the other person's waist.

In the end, they managed to pull Lou Jia up, but Charlie... everyone suddenly fell silent tacitly, and no one asked about the person who suddenly went crazy and jumped off the 24th floor.

It wasn't until Lou Jia stood on solid ground, and finally stomped his feet twice uncertainly, that everyone breathed a sigh of relief with him.

"Saved..."

The feeling of being on the line of death so unexpectedly was really terrifying.

No matter how many times they played the game, no matter how many times they experienced such scenes, no one could accept death calmly.

"What exactly is going on?"

Li Yuan went around to Lu Xiaoyao's side from the front at some point. When he helped her up, he closed the window that had caused the accident and buckled the lock. He said, "This window is like this. It usually looks tightly closed, but if the lock is not buckled, it can easily become loose due to external force."

After speaking, he turned his head and asked, "Is your leg okay?"

Lu Xiaoyao followed his question and looked at her already bruised calf, taking a breath.

The two things, from the moment her leg was stepped on to the two men suddenly flying over her head and rushing out, happened too close together.

The pain had just reached her brain when it was shattered by the shocking scene of these two people jumping off the building. And now, Lu Xiaoyao's calf hurt.

"Ouch, it hurts! Hiss!"

Lu Xiaoyao immediately hugged her leg and started humming. While humming, she secretly glanced around to see what everyone was doing.

With this look, her heart turned cold.

So many people were present, but no one cared about her!

Even Li Yuan, who asked about her leg, was called away by Lou Jia.

Lu Xiaoyao: ???

Mingmei looked up at the sky, trying to pretend that she didn't see Lu Xiaoyao's pitiful look, secretly peeking at everyone with one small eye, and now with two eyes wide open.

It was really hard to hold back the slightly twitching corners of her mouth.

Forget it!

In fact, Mingmei had already seen Lu Xiaoyao's vivid expression from the live broadcast room, and the netizens on the barrage had already guessed Lu Xiaoyao's thoughts at the moment. In the end, a group of people were gleefully laughing.

This group of unscrupulous fans was now looking at Mingmei through the camera.

Mingmei:??

Before Mingmei could react, she saw the barrage in the live broadcast room flashing by—[Don't bow your head, the crown will fall! Don't bow your head, I want to see Zai Zai crying loudly!]

Mingmei: "..."
