Chapter 55: A Package
Bai Cha’s intuition told her that this so-called single-player role-playing mode should also have connections between them.
For this reason, she didn’t close the comment section.
She had already walked out of the office building. It had indeed rained outside, but it had stopped, and the air was very cold.
City A was a northern city. There was heating in the office. When Bai Cha put on her coat, she had casually felt the thickness of her clothes.
Inside, she only had a thermal undershirt and a shirt, with a skirt and leggings below, and a down jacket outside.
As Bai Cha, who was also born in the north, she knew very well that in the month of late December, she should have worn at least a thermal undershirt, a thermal vest, a sweater, and a down jacket.
And the current date was 2021. This winter had come very early; it had snowed in November. This Ms. Gu Baixue was clearly not afraid of the cold.
After the rain outside, the air humidity was relatively high, making it feel even colder and biting.
Bai Cha casually pulled her clothes tighter.
In fact, she was already freezing.
She was afraid of the cold.
The raincoat man had been following her unhurriedly behind her.
Although Bai Cha didn’t know exactly why this person was killing, based on what the game said about not letting anyone discover that there was a problem with the role she was playing.
It was possible that someone’s acting had a problem.
Because assuming this raincoat man had always been monitoring Gu Baixue’s existence, he must know Gu Baixue’s every move very well.
So even though she was shivering from the cold, Bai Cha tried hard to control herself.
Next, she needed to find her electric scooter.
Bai Cha pretended to take the keys out of her bag and accidentally pressed the sound lock on the electric scooter.
In fact, there were only three electric scooters downstairs of the office building not far away.
With this press, one of the electric scooters immediately made a sound.
Bai Cha naturally turned off the sound lock as if she had just accidentally pressed it.
At the same time, she pretended to be chatting with someone, casually tapped her phone, opened the map, entered her address, and quickly scanned the route.
Turn right after going out, turn left after two intersections, then go through three more intersections to Unit 2, Building 6, Rong’an Community, Room 701.
To make the act complete, she did indeed send a message to [Darling Yuqi].
[gbx]: It rained outside sometime, luckily it’s not raining now, but it’s so cold.
Darling Yuqi seemed to reply instantly every time.
[Darling Yuqi]: It’s raining over there? Then take advantage of the fact that it’s stopped now and hurry back. Remember to take a hot shower when you get back, it’ll warm you up a bit.
[gbx]: Okay okay.
Bai Cha finally put her phone away. She had already arrived at her electric scooter and very naturally glanced around first. She didn’t see another lock on the entire scooter.
She directly inserted the key and then felt around in her bag for tissues, wiping the wet seat and handlebars.
While she did all this, the feeling of being watched never disappeared.
When she got on the electric scooter, she glanced in the direction of the office building.
The raincoat man was still standing there, watching her from afar.
The streetlights at the bottom of the office building were broken, and the light was very dim.
Bai Cha quickly lowered her head, turned the handlebars, and left.
Actually… she had hardly ever ridden an electric scooter.
Fortunately, it was cold today, and even those who weren’t afraid of the cold should feel it in this temperature. So she pretended to be riding slowly because her hands were freezing.
Even if she didn’t know if anyone was still watching her at this moment.
[I always feel like this streamer’s boring, nothing’s happening]
[What are you talking about? If something happened, she’d be dead. It’s only the first night. Generally, unless you’re really unlucky, you wouldn’t die so quickly]
[Streamer, say something! Aren’t you curious about what’s happening with other players? This game allows you to watch all players’ livestreams simultaneously. Say something, and I’ll tell you other players’ information]
[Heh, who’s being so malicious? Streamer, ignore him. Don’t reveal your identity in this game at all costs]
[Tch, an F9 rank, nothing worth watching]
Bai Cha selectively ignored these comments.
She hadn’t closed the comment section only because these comments in this game were much better quality than those in the previous one.
And there was indeed some information that could tell her things. Because she had no way of knowing what was happening with other players.
The temperature was really low.
Bai Cha felt like her hands were about to freeze off, they had already lost sensation, especially in this northern environment. When the cold wind blew, it was fine and dense, like knives that would cut small openings in her hands.
She didn’t understand why Gu Baixue wasn’t wearing gloves?
Even someone who wasn’t afraid of the cold couldn’t go without gloves in winter!
Anyway, she hadn’t found any in her bag or seen any on the electric scooter, so she could only go back to her residence to take a look. Otherwise, if she had to come to work for the next seven days…
Bai Cha had already put on the hood of her down jacket. But the wind kept blowing it off, and her face and ears were also freezing.
At twelve o’clock midnight, she finally arrived at the residential area where Gu Baixue lived.
The security guards in the guardhouse were already asleep. However, the gate of the residential area was open, and she didn’t need to swipe any card to go directly inside.
Bai Cha glanced at the building numbers on the apartment buildings in the darkness.
Fortunately, this old residential area wasn’t large. She took out her phone again, using the act of checking her phone to buy time and observe the surrounding building numbers, and found the direction of Building 6.
After parking her scooter at the entrance of the building, Bai Cha also checked the scooter’s battery. There were still three bars left, so she probably didn’t need to charge it for now.
Only then did Bai Cha start climbing the stairs.
It was too cold, and although climbing stairs was tiring, it was also relatively warm.
It was just that this old residential area didn’t have any emergency lights at all. The stairwell had sound-activated lights, but they were unreliable.
Bai Cha went upstairs step by step. Her somewhat heavy footsteps echoed in the old stairwell.
This place was very similar to the scene in her dream. In her dream, she was being chased.
At that time, she had hurriedly run upstairs.
In the dream, that figure was already panting and unable to run at the fifth floor, almost stumbling and using both hands and feet to climb up to the seventh floor.
However, the rent here was indeed cheap, an apartment with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, only eight hundred yuan a month.
In a big city like City A, a two-bedroom apartment like this in a better location would start at 2000 yuan.
Bai Cha finally reached the seventh floor, and then she saw a box at the door.
It was an express delivery box, and the recipient on it was Gu Baixue, along with Gu Baixue’s phone number.
But…
Bai Cha flipped through her phone and confirmed that she had not received any relevant delivery information.
And would express delivery generally be placed directly at the door? Unless they called.
Of course, there was indeed one answered call and two missed calls on her phone.
The two missed calls were marked as spam, and the answered call… was it from the delivery person?
Looking at the time of the answered call, it probably wasn’t, because the duration was as long as half an hour.
Few people would chat with a delivery person for half an hour, right? Delivery people always had work to do, where would they find the time to chat.
Then this package…
Ding-dong—
Her phone rang.
