Chapter 183 [Cui Bisi]: Where are you?
Pei Hening was speechless after being reminded by the system. She wanted to curse, but didn't know where to begin.
She hadn't even said anything substantial yet, and this damn system had already added so many OOC (out-of-character) values to her!
They even shamelessly added extra rules to the instance!
Isn't this just bullying her, an ordinary, honest person?
Once she gets through customs, I will definitely, definitely file a complaint!
"Looks like you guessed right."
Chu Xuange pushed the food cart with one hand and pulled her inside with the other, while also silently starting a brainstorming session.
Anna had arranged a wide variety of late-night snacks, and Chu Xuange twirled the full-diamond ruby ring on his index finger.
Pei Hening brought out the late-night snacks from the food cart and picked out the ones that interested her to try.
They ate their late-night snack quietly, both lost in thought.
"Clang—"
Pei Hening looked up towards the bathroom and put down her cutlery: "Sang Jincheng, you still won't give up?"
Chu Xuange frowned, picked up the gun on the table. This guy was too noisy; it would be better to just shoot him. "I'll go check it out."
Let's go together.
Inside the bathroom, Sang Jincheng had already gotten off the chair and was now trying to untie the ropes on his wrists.
She looked up when she heard the door open and saw Field and Tribes come in.
She fell silent.
"Gurgle—"
Pei Hening looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Sang Jincheng's stomach was growling; clearly, she was hungry.
Pei Hening raised an eyebrow and praised, "Ms. Sang Jincheng, you are quite resilient; you managed to break free from that."
After they carried her to the 27th floor, Pei Hening personally tied her to a chair. She was tied up very tightly and never expected that Sang Jincheng could break free. He was really amazing.
Sang Jincheng was both angry and hungry. She glared at Pei Hening, her mind filled with profanities.
Pei Hening stepped forward, lifted the person up from the ground, and tied the chair back up and tied it up again: "It's tied in a tight knot, you shouldn't be able to break free."
She brushed the dust off her hands and slightly raised her chin: "You've really worked hard!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Xuange put away his pistol.
Alright, let's spare Sang Jincheng's life for now and let the baby practice binding techniques.
If Sang Jincheng hadn't been gagged, she would definitely have spouted a bunch of gibberish. These two scoundrels are abusing their captive!

After the announcement of the temporary addition of rules to the instance was made, the players reacted in different ways.
Inside a room, a female player, upon hearing her ID announced by the system, leaned back lazily in her chair, took out a slender women's cigarette from her pack, lit it, and took a puff.
Amidst the swirling smoke, she raised her hand, pinched her hair, and flipped it back, revealing a long wig in her hand. She tossed the wig onto the table, revealing her original hair—long, pink, curly hair.
The woman murmured, "Is she here too? That's going to be tricky."
In the dimly lit tool shed, [I'll bury you in money] paused for a moment while rummaging through drawers and cabinets looking for clues.
He frowned slightly, his heart filled with shock. What shocked him was not Pei Hening's ability to discover the loophole, but the dungeon's attitude. The dungeon rules were supplemented so quickly!
Why can't we reveal game-related information to NPCs? Can't the system block their comments on this topic?
Or is it that the system doesn't have the authority to block it?
He broke out in a cold sweat just thinking about it.
Thankfully, Xiaoyu didn't enter this instance.
In the dimly lit bedroom, the woman who was injecting herself with the drug stopped. She put the drug away. Since the second-ranked powerhouse on the regional strength list was also there, she decided not to inject the drug yet, since it had significant side effects...
The painter, Pelle, racking her brains to extract information from Sheriff Renée, and the violinist, Sophia, standing beside her, exchanged a glance, their thoughts racing...
Prince Peter, who was on the run and hiding, was almost in despair. But after hearing the system announcement, he perked up again. The big shot was here too! He felt he could live a few more days and maybe even clear the level smoothly!
...

In the middle of the night, Pei Hening tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
According to his character setting, Chu Xuange could at most sleep on the floor in her room.
Hearing the noise from the bed, he sat on the floor, rested his hand on the bed, propped his head up with one hand, and asked softly, "Treeby, can't you sleep?"
Just as Pei Hening was about to reply, she heard a 'beep' sound from outside the door as it opened.
Chu Xuange looked out of the bedroom door. The two of them had deliberately left the door open while resting so that they could hear Sang Jincheng's movements in time.
He whispered, "It wasn't Sang Jincheng; it opened from the outside. I'll go check."
He walked out barefoot, and Pei Hening threw off the covers, got out of bed, and followed him.
The two didn't see anyone, but they did hear two electronic voices discussing something.
"Is this the suite?"
"No, you've gone to the wrong place. We're going to apartment 27-04, this is apartment 27-02."
Is that so?
Pei Hening frowned: "Shall we go take a look?"
Chu Xuange glanced at the bathroom and asked, "Do you want to go?"
If she wanted to go, he would go to the bathroom and kill Sang Jincheng to avoid any uncontrollable accidents.
"Okay, you stay here. I'll see what their purpose is and then come back."
Pei Hening grabbed the navy blue coat and prepared to follow.
Chu Xuange grabbed her hand and quickly put on his shoes: "You guard Sang Jincheng, I'll go instead."
Fearing she would refuse, Chu Xuange quickly added, "Their voices sound a lot like the people I met on the first basement level. Perhaps there's a clue."
"OK."
"Lock the door, see you tomorrow."
I slept without any dreams.
Pei Hening woke up very early; Jack, the personal butler for suite 27-02, had sent her a message ten minutes earlier.
[Jack, the all-around handsome bro]: Excuse me, Ms. Tribes. Would you like a meal? I can place an order for you to have it delivered to your room.
[The all-around handsome bro Jack]: Bowing.jpg
After Pei Hening clearly saw the contents of the phone: "..."
Her impression of the butler for suite 27-02 was that he was a very old-fashioned middle-aged man, dressed in a well-fitting suit, with even his hair meticulously styled. She never expected him to use such an ID.
Pei Hening asked him for the menu.
[The all-around handsome bro Jack]: "Images" "Images" "Images"
[All-around handsome bro Jack]: Let me know if you have anything you like, and I'll deliver it to your room.
[The all-around handsome bro Jack]: Bowing.jpg
Pei Hening picked out breakfast, sent it to Jack, and only after doing all that did she walk to the bathroom in her slippers.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Sang Jincheng, who was tied to a chair, staring at her.
Pei Hening paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
"Gurgle—"
Her gaze fell on Sang Jincheng's rumbling stomach, and she understood: "Someone will bring food over later, so I won't let you starve to death."
She squeezed toothpaste to rinse her teeth, and with one hand, she held her phone to send a message to Chu Xuange.
[Tsuibisi]: Where are you?
