After about a minute or so, the girl and I returned to the ground.

After groping in the dark underground, I realized it was a blessing to be able to see the sky and the sun when looking up.

I turned my head to look at the girl and found that she was also looking at me curiously.

Just like what I saw underground, the girl was indeed wearing a maid's outfit, and she was about 1.5 to 1.6 meters tall. The difference was that the pair of golden pupils were even more eye-catching under the sunlight.

"There was no time to ask before, but what is your name?"

I tried to ask the girl.

"M..."

The girl heard my question, put her finger on her cheek, thinking, and said after a while.

"Just call me Ye Zi."

"Ye Zi?"

"Yes, it means the child of the dark night."

Ye Zi? The kid of the dark night? It was really a strange name.

"My name is Ye ChunYi, and I am glad to meet you."

I made a simple introduction to her, but my attention had returned to the task.

Although we have now returned to the ground, the task in front of us remained unchanged.

[Task Objective: Rescue the hostage, difficulty: E]

It meant that the task was not over yet. 

Did I have to send her to somewhere safe? 

When I was distressed because the task was not progressing, the girl named Ye Zi asked me.

"ChunYi, why did you come here, are you the Police?"

I didn't know why, but she seemed to treat me like a Police officer, and I shrugged helplessly and said to her.

"Do I look like a Police officer?"

When she heard what I said, she showed an expression of interest.

"No. You have a special smell. The police always have an unpleasant smell. You don't have that kind of smell."

Although I didn't know how she distinguished me from the Police by smell, the first goal for me now was to complete the task first, so instead of answering her teasing words, I asked her instead.

"Where is your home, shall I take you home first?"

"No."

Unexpectedly, she simply refused.

"Eh?"

I was a little caught off guard.

"Because it's so boring at home, it's more interesting to be with you."

With that said, she winked her amber-like eyes at me playfully.

Although her request sounds very tempting, I still intended to reject her. After all, I couldn't afford to take a girl who seemed incapable of self-defense to carry out those dangerous tasks.

"If you don't go home, then I can only send you to the police who smells bad. I think they will be very interested in the kidnapping case."

Sure enough, my threat was very effective, and the girl frowned and made a reluctant voice.

"Eh~ I don't want it."

It seemed that she hated the Police more than going home.

I said in an unquestionable tone.

"Then go home first, I'll take you back."

Only by sending her home could I complete the task.

Although she seemed extremely reluctant, seeing my tough attitude, she didn't say anything in the end.

The girl named Ye Zi in front of me gave me a strange feeling. After all, if a person had just been rescued from a kidnapper, generally speaking, they would panic, but Ye Zi in front of me was surprisingly calm.

This was not a normal reaction.

But at this time, I only cared about the task, and didn't think deeply, just wanted to send her home early to complete the task.

We got out of the hole in the barbed wire and came to the front of the factory, only to find that the door had been opened and there were obvious traces of tire pressure on the ground.

I believed that it was the traces of the two people who drove out of the factory.

In order to avoid any accident, I did not choose to take the bus as I did when I came. Instead, I used the mobile app to call a taxi and took the girl to her home.

Hearing the address she said, I vaguely remembered that it was the wealthy area of

S City. I had been there a few times before, but because of my family, I could only pass by and take a look from far away.

Since there was no need to stop at the station, the journey this time was much faster than when I took the bus before. About ten minutes later, we arrived at the destination.

I looked at this very large European-style three-story building, with several surveillance cameras installed just at the door. I secretly sighed that it was indeed a rich area, how many people could live in such a big house.

"Are you the maid of this house?" 

I asked her curiously. 

I had only seen people wear maid costumes on TV programs before. I didn't expect to see a real maid in real life.

"No."

Ye Zi's answer shattered my wild imagination.

"Huh? Then why do you wear a maid outfit?"

I asked her puzzled.

"Can't it be a hobby?"

She rolled her eyes, reached out her hand to open the iron gate of the yard.

It seemed that the iron gate wasn’t locked. What was this family? Were they not scared that someone would break in?

"You want to come in and sit for a while?"

She pointed to the three-story European-style building behind her and asked.

I shook my head and declined her kindness. After all, I was still doing the task. After sending the hostage home, there may be new changes to the task, so I didn't have time to rest.

"Oh."

She didn't show any special expressions. After closing the iron door, she walked towards the door of the house. Her actions acted as if she had just returned home after a short walk. She did not show the feeling of having just escaped from danger. She didn't even express any gratitude for saving her.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered something, so I shouted towards Ye Zi's back.

"Ye Zi, is there anyone else in your house?"

Ye Zi looked back and gave me a strange look, and said.

"No, I'm home alone."

Sure enough, I was right. Ye Zi told me when I was on the underground platform that she had been kidnapped at home. If there were people in the family, the two kidnappers wouldn't be able to kidnap her so easily.

"Come here."

I beckoned to Ye Zi, then took out a pen and a small notebook that I carried with me. After writing a series of numbers, I tore off the page and handed it to her through the iron gate of the yard.

"What is this?"

She returned to the iron gate and took the piece of paper in my hand, and asked puzzledly.

"This is my phone number. If you are in danger again, call this number. I will come as soon as possible."

She looked at the piece of paper in her hand, then looked up at me with a rather strange look, and then a smile appeared on her face that seemed to be happy.

"Okay."

Seeing her promise, I didn't plan to stay here for a long time, and after watching Ye Zi enter the house, I left here.

But strangely, I didn't see any changes in the mission until Ye Zi entered the house for half an hour.

Strange, I had successfully sent the hostage home, why the task remained the same.

I looked at the task window in front of me suspiciously, and after thinking for a while, I had to put on my sunglasses again, hoping to find some new clues.

After putting on my sunglasses, I looked around and there was a clear orange beam on the horizon in the distance.

I was very familiar with that location, because Ye Zi and I came back from that direction half an hour ago.

It was the location of the factory.

Why did the sunglasses still show the location of the factory? It was obvious that I had sent the hostage home safely.

I stared at the orange beam of light for a moment. After a while, as if struck by lightning, I suddenly remembered a detail.

When I met Ye Zi on that platform, she was tied to a wooden stake, and beside her, there seemed to be a few other wooden stakes, but there were no people tied to them, and my attention was all on Ye Zi, so I didn't think too much about it.

Looking back now, there were more than one stake, it meant that there was probably not only one hostage, but I only found Ye Zi alone, so I preconceived that as long as Ye Zi was rescued, it was equivalent to completing the mission.

There may be other hostages in the hands of the two men now.

Blaming myself for how foolish I was, so I hurriedly called a taxi and headed in the direction of the factory again.

About twenty minutes later I came to the back door of the factory again.

The difference from the last time is that I bought a strong flashlight along the way this time. I was negligent because of insufficient light. This time I had a strong flashlight to see the whole picture of the underground passage.

Holding a bright flashlight in my left hand and a Post-it note in my right hand, I once again walked down the abyss-like stairs.

Since there was more light than before, coupled with my familiarity with this section of stairs, I quickly reached the platform where I met Ye Zi before. The Cardboard Box that was used to conceal our whereabouts was still lying on the spot, although Cardboard The Box was still there, but it should be the same as the Post-it note, it would lose its effect after using it once, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

I shone my flashlight at the other stakes. On the ground of two of the stakes, there was a bundle of ropes on each. Before I came here, there were probably people tied to each stake, but when I came in, they might have been moved deep underground.

I got out of the platform and walked down the stairs again, which was the one that caused my head to fall from my body. I swallowed, remained on high alert, and proceeded carefully downward.

Because I didn't know how I was beheaded before I died, so every step I took, I would shine a flashlight on the wall around me to avoid accidentally triggering traps.

But the strange thing was that no matter how I searched, I didn't find any traps.

Wasn't I killed by a trap? 

I wondered, but I didn't get the answer, and the scene before me couldn't allow me to think about it any more.

Because at this time I have reached the end of the stairs. At the end of the stairs was a wooden door. 

Probably after this wooden door, it was the real underground of the factory. 

I took a deep breath, held the Post-it note tightly, and slowly pushed open the wooden door. 

As the wooden door made a eerie "creak" sound, I completely opened the door. In the enclosed space, a strong smell of blood and rancidity instantly filled my nasal cavity.

I resisted the strong urge to vomit, and shone a flashlight into the room.

But from this look, I couldn't help it anymore, holding on to the door frame, I started to vomit.

Behind the wooden door was a very wide basement. It used to be used to store something. There were piles of dusty boxes around, but the source of the bloody smell was not these boxes, but the "things" on the ground. .

Under the strong light of the flashlight, I could see several objects of different sizes painted with red liquid on the ground similar to the magic circle. In the center of each circle, there were human body parts.

The things placed in each circle were different. There were broken hands or a whole thigh placed on the circle. Probably one person was not enough for this many magic circles,  some magic circles even had a pile of bloody intestines in the center, and a female head was placed in the center of the largest magic circle.

These body parts should have been left for a while, and they have already begun to rot. I could clearly see the white maggots burrowing around on the mutilated head, as if they were having some sort of carnival.

It seemed that I had broken into the nest of a certain evil cult. After vomiting until there was nothing left to vomit, I finally straightened up my back and walked forward, resisting the nausea.

The unidentified red liquid used to draw the magic circle under the feet has completely dried out, and when I stepped on it, I could hear slight "click" and "click" sounds. Although the basement was very wide, it was only relative to the corridor. No matter how big it was, it was just a basement. I quickly searched every corner of this basement and found no living people.

It seemed that what the two men said about relocating the "thing" was probably because they wanted to relocate the hostages underground.

When I came back to the wooden door, I simply bowed the mutilated corpse and walked up the stairs. After I dealt with those two murders, I would let the police resolve the matter here.

Thinking of this, I quickly returned to the ground. At this time, the sun had risen to the highest point of the day, but it could not dispel the chill from me.

Those two men who kidnapped Ye Zi were undoubtedly members of an evil cult. It seemed that this mission was as dangerous as before. I didn’t think those two men would surrender when I met them. While I was thinking about how to catch them, I put on the glasses again and observed the dilapidated factory behind me.

At this time, the orange light on the factory had disappeared, and it seemed that the following tasks would have nothing to do with this.

I looked around, but didn't find any useful clues. My sight was blocked by the surrounding weeds and trees here, I couldn't see anything in the distance, so I had to leave here first.

Even after I returned to downtown S, I still hadn't found any suspicious places.

The orange light that rose into the sky like the one the factory had no longer appeared.

I wore sunglasses and looked for suspicious people or things aimlessly everywhere in the city. Unfortunately, until night fell, I didn't find anything special.

Because I saw such a scene in the basement, I couldn't even eat lunch, and I was tense all day long. At this time, I was already exhausted.

After searching to no avail, I dragged my exhausted body back home, and after a random meal, I lay in bed and fell asleep.

…...

It was already the next morning when I woke up. I confirmed the time, at 9:00 am on May 25th.

I didn't know why. After coming to this world, I always woke up naturally at nine o'clock every morning.

As if knowing that  I was awake, the familiar [Login Reward Slot machine] appeared in front of me with a burst of smoke.

I stretched out my hand and lowered the stick, and the three columns on the screen began to spin quickly, and the three rows stopped on something that looked like a capsule.

I looked at the three capsules that fell into my hand and began to read its information.

Props: Pill Lv.1 X3

Quality: Normal

Effect: It can treat a certain degree of trauma and disease, and the specific effect depends on the level.

This was the second item I had drawn with a level of normal quality, but having said that, until now, I had no idea how to upgrade the item.

I did research before, but the system did not give me any hints about this.

In short, this was a game that would need players to search for the clues themselves.

I put away the three medicines. I haven't suffered any injuries so far, so naturally I did not need to use these things. As for the effect of the medicine, I would know when I used it later.

Although I hope that I would never need to use this kind of thing, such an idea was obviously not realistic.

After a simple wash, I put on the sunglasses and left the room.

Unlike yesterday, when I went out this time, I found an orange light in the distant horizon.

It finally appeared!

I whispered in my heart, although I didn't know why this beam of light disappeared yesterday, and why it suddenly appeared today, it must be the location of the mission, and the two mysterious men must be there.

I stopped hesitating, called a car, and rushed in that direction.
