I Play the Horror World as a Simulation Game

Chapter 45: Sky and earth apart, neighbor's dinner party!

"Congratulations to the host for completing the C-level instance task. You successfully exposed the resident of room 305 and handed them over for punishment. Additional scores will be calculated after exiting the instance!"

"This isn't a mainline task reward."

"It's just a hidden C-level task!"

Upon hearing the game announcement, Qin Nuo frowned and fell into deep thought.

The other players noticed his expression and felt something was off, so they couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"

"That guy isn't the mastermind killer we're looking for, just a regular C-level instance task," Qin Nuo said.

"What?"

Cobra and the others were dumbfounded.

This isn't the killer?

All the clues they got from the residents pointed to this guy, and they even found all his criminal evidence in the wall.

Then what kind of person would it be?

"Damn it, I got killed by an instance task!" Jackson was the most frustrated.

"He's a killer, but just a simple one."

"The instance wants us to find someone else," Qin Nuo said.

Everyone was full of questions.

Do you even hear what you're saying?

"Damn, this mainline task is such a trap, I'm out," Black Bear waved his hand and left.

"Agreed, just do the instance tasks honestly, and when it's over, leave. Isn't that nice?" Jiang Xiaobai and a few others thought for a moment and followed suit.

Clearly.

Everyone's patience had been worn out by this mainline task.

Princess Yao Yao saw Qin Nuo looking absent-minded and poked him, asking, "Are you very disappointed?"

"No, just thinking about some things."

Qin Nuo shook his head.

He was thinking, the resident of room 305 isn't the killer.

But what role did the clues from the rooftop water tank play?

Those scratches couldn't possibly make Qin Nuo suspect any particular resident.

Black Rose looked at Qin Nuo and said, "At least your score is the highest among the seven of us, and you're undoubtedly the MVP of this instance."

"MVP or whatever, I'm not really interested."

"I prefer to challenge things that interest me," Qin Nuo said.

Black Rose rolled her eyes and left too.

"No wonder I've felt uncomfortable walking down this hallway these past few days, like something was watching me."

"Luckily, we caught him, otherwise..." Princess Yao Yao glanced at room 305, muttering with lingering fear.

Qin actually wanted to ask, what was Princess Yao Yao's purpose in participating in this instance?

Not to mention coming for a tour, she's simple-minded and even a level-two player.

The last instance, she probably got carried by a master to an easy win.

Returning from the third floor to the fourth, a little girl stood at the staircase, and upon seeing Qin Nuo, happily ran up to him, "Little Yuan's Mom told me you caught the bad guy, and it was big brother who did it."

"That's amazing!"

"Everyone helped, it wasn't just me," Qin Nuo said.

"Why don't you come to my house for dinner tomorrow? My parents heard about it and want to thank you in person," the little girl said.

Qin Nuo thought of those two invisible ghosts.

Definitely not to be messed with, he was about to refuse when the system's voice sounded in his mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering a D-level instance task. Please have lunch with the residents in room 402 within 24 hours."

Qin Nuo hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sure, can it be tomorrow noon?"

It's already past two o'clock, past lunchtime, so it had to be tomorrow.

But thinking about it, dining with ghosts, what would they eat?

Qin Nuo thought of the Horror World's marketplace, and his mouth twitched.

Forget it, just adapt to the situation.

"Of course, don't stand me up, big brother!"

"Of course not."

The little girl happily skipped away.

Qin Nuo returned to his room.

This day finally passed peacefully.

The next day, Qin Nuo dressed up a bit, after all, it was his first formal meal at a neighbor's, and manners were important.

As he left, he ran into Jiang Xiaobai coming up the stairs, carrying two large buckets of water with a shoulder pole.

"What are you doing?" Qin Nuo asked.

"The resident in 506 has no water, so I'm being a good neighbor and helping out!" Jiang Xiaobai said, panting.

A good neighbor, my ass!

If it weren't for the instance task of the resident in 506, who the hell would suffer like this?

Damn it, carrying ten buckets from the first floor to the fifth, five trips back and forth!

Completing this instance task, he could basically lie in bed until tomorrow, unable to get up.

Is it easy for me to do an instance task?

"What about you? Why are you dressed so formally, going on a date with a ghost?" Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Qin Nuo's outfit and asked.

"Also an instance task."

"Going to 402 for a meal, and it's done."

"Not chatting, see you." Qin Nuo waved and left.

After hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai was confused for a few seconds before reacting, slamming the shoulder pole on the ground.

"Damn! We're all people, why is he eating while I'm working?!"

In front of room 402, Qin Nuo knocked on the door.

The little girl quickly opened it, smiling, "Big brother, you finally came."

"The food is ready, come in and sit."

Qin Nuo entered the room.

The room was tidy, with everything neatly arranged.

But it lacked light, making the whole room appear dark and eerie.

To Qin Nuo's surprise, the dishes on the table were all normal.

Tomato scrambled eggs, minced meat with eggplant, sweet and sour ribs were all common dishes.

The little girl pulled out a chair and smiled, "Sit down."

"I know, big brother is different from us, so I specially made dishes that big brother can eat."

Qin Nuo was slightly taken aback and sat down.

The little girl sat across from him.

Besides that, there were two rocking chairs on either side of the table.

The rocking chairs gently swayed.

Qin Nuo couldn't see the girl's parents, but he knew they were watching him, making his hair stand on end.

"My parents said, thank you for bringing that bad guy to justice and protecting everyone's safety."

"Everyone helped, it wasn't just my credit," Qin Nuo said.

In the lawless Horror World, the term "bringing to justice" sounded very awkward to Qin Nuo.

"Big brother, try my cooking, see how it is," the little girl looked at Qin Nuo expectantly.

Qin Nuo picked up his chopsticks and tasted a bit of the tomato scrambled eggs.

It had sugar in it.

Not Qin Nuo's preferred taste, as he liked it salty.

"Not bad, it tastes like what I had when I was a kid," Qin Nuo said perfunctorily.

Getting the answer she wanted, the little girl was very happy and took a bite herself.

Hiss.

Qin Nuo glanced over and suddenly noticed the two halves of the table were decaying at a visible speed, turning into clusters of wood powder falling to the ground.

The little girl didn't mind these changes and said to Qin Nuo, "My parents said, don't be restrained, treat this as your home, take what you like to eat."

Qin Nuo's mouth twitched.

How the hell am I supposed to treat this as my home?

He suddenly regretted coming as a guest.

Eating a meal felt like being on trial.

The Blood-Eyed Ghost suddenly spoke too, "Can we leave? I'm very uncomfortable."
