: Everything is Wrong

"Calm down! You must calm down!"

Lu Li was covered in cold sweat, but he quickly calmed down.

His original phone wallpaper was a simple system wallpaper.

But now it has been changed to Bai Muli.

The wallpaper shows Bai Muli laughing heartily, even making a peace sign.

But that smile and those movements... Lu Li found them irritating no matter how he looked at them.

Or rather, fear...

It wasn't fear, but rather a disorienting feeling tinged with nausea.

Just like when you're walking down the street normally, everything seems normal.

Then, when you're trying to cross the street at a green light, a car turns right and you almost get hit.

Just as you were about to unleash a torrent of curses, the car window rolled down, and a dog-headed man in the driver's seat spat at you, "You son of a bitch! In a hurry to be reborn, you bastard!"

That's how confusing it is.

Yawning, Lu Li got up, intending to wash up and then see what was going on.

When he placed his hand on the bedroom door, he hesitated for a moment, then quietly opened the door a crack and peeked outside.

Yes, that kind of door-opening kill doesn't exist.

He thought that when he opened the door, he would find Miss Bai cooking in the kitchen wearing a naked apron.

That's absolutely terrifying.

He had a premonition when he turned on his phone and saw that the wallpaper was Miss Bai, but thankfully it wasn't true.

Even after arriving in the living room, Lu Li didn't relax. Instead, he searched everywhere for any traces that Bai Muli might have ever been there.

Or rather, he was looking for traces of other people besides himself who might have existed.

Generally speaking, there should be no trace.

He lives alone, and his parents have gone on a trip as he said.

So it's good that Bai Muli isn't here; it seems she really didn't chase after them.

No, that's just an illusion!

But the scissor-hand smiley face on his phone wallpaper told him that it wasn't an illusion.

Or rather, it's not entirely an illusion.

Lu Li thought for a moment and decided to go out and take a look.

At the very least, being in a crowded place is safer than being alone at home.

Thinking about it now, it's quite strange. After I fell asleep and woke up yesterday, I haven't seen anyone other than Bai Muli.

However, just in case, he planned to make some preparations.

Following the example of Yu Zecheng from the TV series "Lurking," Lu Li planned to sprinkle some ash on the floor by the door.

However, he didn't have any incense at home, so he scattered a lot of cigarette ash on the ground inside and outside the door.

He also prepared a rubber band to clip to the corner of the door.

Even if the cigarette ash on the ground outside the door is blown away and cannot be seen, this rubber band can still tell whether anyone has entered the house after he left.

After everything was settled, he took his phone, house key, car key, and motorcycle key, then went out and took the elevator down to the underground parking garage.

He decided not to drive.

That's right, besides the BMW, he also has a motorcycle!

However, it wasn't a motorcycle, but a small red Honda scooter.

As the saying goes, a knight's destiny is the pedal.

Lu Li simply achieved this in one step.

Lu Li hopped on his beloved scooter, put on his helmet, and set off.

It's raining outside.

However, it was just a light drizzle, so it didn't have much of an impact.

The sky was indeed overcast, and there wasn't a soul in sight on the road.

The railings at the gate were raised, and there was no security guard at the entrance.

Moreover, the main entrance, which is usually bustling with people, was completely deserted at this moment.

Lu Li glanced at the watch on his arm.

8:37

It's 8 a.m., right in the middle of rush hour, but there's not a single person at the entrance to the residential complex, and the railings are all raised...

With a determined look, Lu Li rode off.

The small supermarket at the entrance was also closed, with the glass door locked.

The breakfast shops outside all had their shutters closed.

The parking spaces on both sides of the road were full of cars, but there wasn't a single person in sight.

Without hesitation, Lu Li rode his scooter straight to the company.

The few vehicles passing by on the road reassured him quite a bit.

It seems I'm not the only one in this situation.

However... it's also quite strange.

But there is no turning back when the bow is drawn.

Bai Muli actually grasped Lu Li's personality quite well.

When he encounters a problem, he will try his best to solve it.

If it really can't be resolved, he will accept it calmly.

Now that a problem has arisen, he needs to think of a solution first.

Another car passed by, and Lu Li didn't have time to call for it to stop.

He just didn't quite understand why that car had its headlights on in broad daylight, and it was even using high beams.

They even ran red lights.

"Wait until the traffic police fine you to death!"

Although there were no traffic police today, the cameras on the streetlights were not just for show.

Lu Li gave a cold laugh and continued waiting for the traffic light.

In less than a minute, the red light turned green.

Lu Li twisted the accelerator and started the engine on the pedal.

But just as he reached the center of the intersection, a car suddenly sped up from the side!

Lu Li quickly grabbed the brakes to avoid being hit and thrown into the air.

"Damn it!" Lu Li cursed at the departing taillights, "Are you in such a hurry to be reborn?!"

Another car ran a red light!

After finishing his rant, Lu Li continued to complain, "Where are the traffic police? Why aren't they doing anything about it..."

After cursing a couple of times, he lit a cigarette to calm himself down before starting his scooter and heading towards the company.

Yes, he is not actually unemployed.

Are you kidding me?! An unemployed person wants to buy a house and a car?

Unless you're living off your parents.

However, although Lu Li's family was not poor, they were not wealthy either; his parents were just ordinary retired state-owned enterprise workers.

He must have earned that car and house himself.

A couple of years ago, he partnered with a friend to start a studio, and the studio is thriving. He earned his car and house in the last few years.

As he walked downstairs, he looked up and saw that the entire CBD was brightly lit, with lights on on every floor even in broad daylight.

He parked his motorcycle and went upstairs.

When he arrived at the company entrance, he frowned.

Why is the company closed in broad daylight?

There was no one inside.

He dialed a partner's number, and it took about a minute before the call was answered.

"Brother Li... don't you even know what time it is?"

The voice on the other end sounded like someone who hadn't woken up yet.

Lu Li laughed too, "Damn it, it's not even nine o'clock in the morning and you're still not up? Aren't you going to work? What, now that you're the boss, you're starting to be late and leave early?"

The person on the other end was also speechless. "Brother Li, I know you're a workaholic, but you said it was 9 AM. We're supposed to start work at 9 PM, and you're waking me up as soon as I lay down! What, are you going to take me for a drink? I'm still getting my beauty sleep!"

Beauty sleep...

Lu Li rolled his eyes. "Why would a grown man like you need beauty sleep? And how did it become 9 PM to work? What time do you get off work?"

"Six in the morning? It's a 9-to-6 schedule. Besides, only men get beauty sleep; women don't understand. Okay, okay, I won't say anymore, Brother Li, I need to go to sleep!"

The call ended.

Lu Li glanced at his phone and scratched his head.

That's so weird...

Forget it, I'll just go home.

............

In a hotel, six men and women with different expressions opened their eyes at the same time.

After a moment, the muscular, bearded man at the head of the group said, "You've all received the new missions, right?"

The other five nodded silently.

"Very good, the dungeon has entered the third stage, and the key clue to defeating the BOSS has also appeared."

He glanced at the smartwatch on his wrist. "Target: Lu Li. Find him!"
