Chapter 27

The audience in front of the screen could not see the scenes that Lu Miao experienced in the hallucination. In their field of vision, the Moonlight Goddess summoned more than a dozen large meatballs that were copied and pasted. After Lao Wang and the previously deceased humans, Lu Miao suddenly

Fell into sluggishness.

They watched helplessly as Lu Miao's expression became numb, and the skin all over his body seemed to undergo some kind of change in the darkness. In the faint light, his face began to be covered with fine lines.

When the lines spread to half of the face, they discovered that they were not patterns, but random cracks.

Just like those people who were petrified by Medusa in the legend, Lu Miao was gradually turning into a stone, but compared with the effect of being stared at by Medusa's snake eyes, Lu Miao's process of being petrified was much slower.

It took them so long to react.

What appeared on Lu Miao's skin was a thin layer of stone crust.

A thin layer of stone skin crawled up Lu Miao's skin little by little. It didn't seem obvious when looking at his face, but some people noticed that the extremities of Lu Miao's body, such as the smaller parts of his fingertips, had completely turned into

Stone.

Just like the buildings that had been crushed to dust before, the invisible mental fluctuations of the Moonlight Goddess spread over, and Lu Miao's fingertips turned into ashes bit by bit under everyone's gaze.

Contrary to the resurrected Moonlight Goddess, Lu Miao was transforming into a statue at this time.

As time passed by, stone shells crawled into the corners of his eyes. Except for those gray-blue eyes, he didn't look much different from the completely blackened Moonlight Goddess opposite him.

[Severe warning! Player "Lu Miao"'s health value has been permanently damaged, current health value: 3!]

[Serious warning! The player "Lu Miao"'s mental value has been permanently damaged. The current mental value is: 18...17...10!]

[Serious warning! Player "Lu Miao"'s health value has been permanently damaged, current health value: 2!]

[Severe warning! The player "Lu Miao"'s mental value has been permanently damaged. The current mental value is: 9...8...]

Blood-red system warnings kept popping up as if they were refreshing the screen again. Lu Miao's mental value dropped abnormally quickly, and his physical strength and energy limits dropped rapidly, causing Lu Miao's body, which was already close to its limit, to shake again.

The picture in front of the audience is covered by the system warning.

Layer after layer of system warning pop-ups overlapped each other, and they could hardly even see Lu Miao's face.

Yu Qian's heart jumped into his throat: "Lu Miao!!"

Wu Haitao hit the ground hard again. The solid stone tile floor finally could not withstand so many blows. Only a small cracking sound was heard, and spider web-like lines instantly covered the entire floor tile.

Just like the cracks on Lu Miao's face.

The stone shell had completely covered the lower half of Lu Miao's face. His already pale face was as cold and hard as a beautiful corpse wrapped in the gray-black stone.

Under everyone's frightened gaze, the stone shell gradually climbed up Lu Miao's eyeballs and spread toward his pupils.

The Moonlight Goddess was getting closer and closer, and she didn't know when she was right in front of Lu Miao.

The distance between the two is very close, but one is an indestructible evil statue, and the other is a hollow stone shell full of cracks. Anyone can easily see the difference in strength between the two.

Now, as long as the Moonlight Goddess stretches out a finger, Lu Miao can be instantly wiped out.

[Serious warning! Serious warning!! The player "Lu Miao"'s mental value has been permanently damaged. The current mental value is: 6...5!]

[Severe warning!! Player "Lu Miao"'s health value has been permanently damaged, current health value: 1!]

Wu Haitao's face changed slightly and he couldn't help but cursed: "Fuck!"

Zhou Dongfeng remained silent, just staring at the screen with a tense face, his pupils trembling rapidly.

Lu Miao...are we really going to stop here?

The three of them are all well-informed, and even they cannot restrain themselves from showing such emotions, let alone the ordinary players at the back.

I don’t know where it started, but a few low sobs suddenly came from the crowd, and then quickly spread to the entire viewing area.

Some people closed their eyes and kept praying: "Don't die, please don't die... If you die, I will no longer believe in miracles!"

"Please, it's hard for me to have such great confidence in a new person. Please tell me that you have a backup plan..."

"Woooo, I don't dare to look, but I can't bear to leave. Why is this newcomer so magical..."

The entire viewing area was filled with an atmosphere of regret, and the screen was eerily quiet. Except for the wind noise caused by the mental fluctuations of the Moonlight Goddess, nothing could be heard.

Suddenly, the silence was broken.

There was a very subtle cracking sound from the other side of the screen.

All the audience closed their eyes subconsciously. The timid ones did not dare to open them again. They only asked the players next to them in a low voice: "Is it broken?"

"……Broken."

Hearing these words, the surrounding players couldn't help but take a breath, but then they heard the voice sound again: "The dream of the Moonlight Goddess is broken."

Players: “…???”

What?

Everyone was at a loss. What does it mean that the dream of the Moonlight Goddess was broken? Shouldn't it be Lu Miao who became a statue that was broken?

At this moment, a cold mechanical voice suddenly sounded in their ears: [The game begins. Pray for good luck, new players who are too fragile.]

Everyone was startled, opened their eyes suddenly, and immediately looked towards the screen, their eyes quickly searching for Lu Miao's figure.

In fact, there was no need for them to search at all. Lu Miao just stood there, with his face covering the entire screen.

The gray-black stone shell had faded away at some point. Lu Miao opened his eyes. The eyes that had been covered by the stone shell had now returned to a beautiful gray-blue color. Looking at it, he felt as if he was in a clean sky.

.

Everyone fell into it for a while, and their tired moods from the ups and downs they had just experienced seemed to be washed away, and they felt incredibly relaxed.

It took a few seconds for someone to react: "Why are you back from the dormitory building?"

Everyone suddenly came back to their senses, and then they remembered that Lu Miao was still in the dangerous D-level dungeon, and there was also an incredibly powerful end-of-level boss in front of them.

But when their eyes turned to the environment around Lu Miao, the huge gap made them start to doubt their own eyes——

There are no large-scale replicas of human-skinned monsters, no reborn human beings and Lao Wang, the girls' dormitory building that turned into powder has returned at some point, and Lu Miao and the Moonlight Goddess are still looking at each other through the window of the dormitory room.

Even above the head of the Moonlight Goddess, there is still that pale lamp, which is so bright that it makes people's eyes sore.

The words Lu Miao muttered to himself, "It is indeed a wig," made all the players even more confused and subconsciously looked at the top of the Moonlight Goddess' head.

But after watching it many times, I realized that the Moonlight Goddess, who had completely darkened and turned into a living statue, showed no sign of baldness. Her hair was still the same as the statues at the police station and the school entrance, very full and did not require a wig.

sign.

Having just experienced the excitement of great joy and great sorrow, many players' minds are empty at this time. No matter how hard they try, they can't keep up with Lu Miao's ideas. They can only ask the players next to them for help: "What does he mean by this? What wig?"

"What was that sound just now? Why did it suddenly remind Lu Miao to enter the game? Could it be the system again... No, when did the system start talking?"

"What the hell happened?"

For a long time, the viewing area was filled with all kinds of questions, and tens of thousands of spectators could not come up with a correct answer.

After an unknown amount of time, a voice suddenly appeared from the crowd. The voice was very soft but fast: "It's another scam. From the moment the identity of the Moonlight Goddess was revealed, we were all pulled into the illusion by the Moonlight Goddess.

.”

The young man with huge cat ears on his head appeared quietly, in the most inconspicuous position in the corner of the crowd, squatting there in a feline posture, with a pair of round eyes staring at the road on the screen.

Miao, pupils dilated with excitement.

If you look carefully, you will find that his pupils are different from others. They are actually vertical, and their length is almost the same as the outer iris.

"There was no goddess at the beginning, there was just a terrifying statue that tried to replace the real owner. She deceived everyone..." At this point, he paused suddenly, as if he remembered something interesting, "Just like in

At Lao Wang's house, Lu Miao deceived us like that."

Everyone: "..."

Suddenly a bad memory came back to me.

The cat-eared boy, after a brief explanation, quietly blended into another group of people before anyone looked over, but his eyes still did not leave Lu Miao on the screen.

"I said how dare he guess that the dormitory supervisor belongs to the Moonlight Goddess. It turns out that the dormitory supervisor's wig was leaking..." The tip of his tongue licked the sharp canine teeth, and the young man murmured excitedly: "Based on a piece of information that he is not sure about,

You dare to risk your life...a madman, another madman."

Having said that, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and the breath he exhaled was filled with boiling heat.

--

On the screen, the stone shell on Lu Miao's body had completely fallen off. With a flick of his fingertips, the complete stone shell fell off and fell into the palm of his hand.

He looked at the thin stone shell in his hand and raised his eyebrows slightly.

His gamble was indeed not unfounded.

When he previously speculated on the real connection between the supervisor and the Moonlight Goddess, what pushed him to the conclusion that the supervisor was the goddess of moonlight was the strange reflection on the supervisor's head.

When Lu Miao came to the dormitory room of the girls' dormitory for the first time, he noticed that the old lady's head was surprisingly bright.

The light above her head was too bright. Although there was a high possibility that it was just to lower the player's vigilance and prolong the time for the player to discover the host's true camp, the too bright light allowed Lu Miao to clearly see the top of her hair.

There is not much difference when you lower your head and raise your head.

But he has seen many elderly people in the hospital, many of whom are naturally aging and in good health. However, when their families bring them for regular check-ups, their hair is not as evenly thinned as that of the old hostess.

For elderly people of this age, regardless of gender, the thinning of hair starts from the forehead corners on both sides, the hairline in the middle of the forehead and the middle of the head.

The head of the dormitory manager's head was too bald, evenly distributed to an area the size of a fingernail, with just a few hairs, and there were uneven lines on his scalp, which made Lu Miao suspicious.

But after all, it was just a glance through the window, and Lu Miao was not sure whether the strange flashing lines were real or an illusion because he was blinded by the bright light.

Now he was able to confirm that the housekeeper had a wig on her head, and the uneven marks on her head were the natural stone textures on the surface of the Moonlight Goddess statue.

As for the prompt that just sounded like the system voice——

Lu Miao tilted his head slightly, raised his arm, and held an industrial flamethrower gun in one hand, aiming it at the big meatball at the door of the dormitory and the group of scary-looking monsters behind it.

The rapid decline in mental and health values ​​made Lu Miao's already overstretched body even weaker. Even the simple gesture of lifting the fire-breathing gun made him exhausted. His body shook uncontrollably, and the corners of his mouth spilled again.

A trace of blood.

But Lu Miao's expression remained calm, with a sense of relaxation and joy that he didn't care about life and death.
To be continued...
