Chapter 223 Conceit (Thanks to Mr. Munomet for being the leader)
Slightly stunned, Chenran raised his left arm, looked at Jiang Cheng with a pair of eyes, and said with an exaggerated expression: "Brother Hao won't Is this what you’re talking about?”
There is a neat wound on Chenran’s left forearm.
It’s not serious, about 4 or 5 centimeters long, and blood seeps out from time to time. The bright blood streaks across the dusty white skin, the contrast is extremely strong, and finally gathers on the fingertips and drips to the ground. .
But the man in front of him had obviously lost the ability to resist and became a lamb to be slaughtered, while he was only slightly injured by the opponent's unreasonable hand.
How come he won?
Suddenly, Chenran's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he immediately looked towards the center of the room where the flame was.
The flames burned fiercely, and a faint, strange fragrance filled the air.
“Ah,” Chenran slowly put down his arm. He squinted and looked at Jiang Cheng, who bared his white teeth at him and had a weird smile on his face after his plot had succeeded. He couldn’t help but sigh. Tone, "The dagger is poisonous."< br>
“Hmm,” Jiang Cheng looked at Chenran, who could still maintain his consciousness for now, but would soon let himself do whatever he wanted, and his smile became more and more perverted, “It’s true that the dagger is poisonous, but I didn’t make it. ”
"It's Su Xiaoxiao."
"Yes," Jiang Cheng shrugged and continued: "She is not as stupid as you think. She also saw the mystery in the flames. The fuel contains some kind of poison. "The only mistake she made was that she was too weak. She has to concentrate on taking care of her brother. If she can hurt you with a dagger, you will be the one thrown on the stone plate." Jiang Cheng smiled and said: "It's so dangerous, Brother Chen."
Inside the lighthouse. There must be some explanation for the flames, otherwise those "things" in Blackstone Town would not emphasize it repeatedly.
After Liang Long disappeared, Jiang Cheng figured out the mystery.
At the scene of Liang Long's disappearance, Jiang Cheng smelled a familiar fragrance.
Yes, it is the aroma produced by the burning of the milky white grease-like thing in the lighthouse flame vessel.
They already know that this aroma has the effect of greatly slowing down people's reactions and suppressing emotions.
If you guessed it right, Diplodocus secretly dug some out of the vessel, probably to study it while no one was around. As a result, she was waiting alone in the lobby on the first floor at night and needed to make a fire, so she took out some. Grease, used as fuel.
Grease is extremely flame resistant and also provides a large amount of heat.
As a result, it was such a move that by chance, the monster sleeping in the stone wall was awakened.
Thus causing himself to be killed.
From this point of view, it is clear that the purpose of those guys in Blackstone Town instigating them to light the lighthouse is to awaken the "similar people" who have turned into stone sculptures.
Jiang Cheng guessed that Diplodocus just accidentally unlocked some monsters in advance, and if they really waited for a few days, or even longer, to light the lighthouse, all the stone sculptures sleeping in the hall would come to life.
In that case they would definitely be doomed.
His body began to become paralyzed. Even though his physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people, Chenran now felt dizzy. He was completely using his will to hold on and refused to fall.
The weird thing in the nightmare is really.
Chenran staggered back until he hit the wall behind him, then leaned against the wall, his body slowly slid down, and fell to the ground.
He seemed to want to struggle a few more times, but his body no longer allowed him to do so.
"Giggle"
There was a strange and heart-wrenching sound in his ears. He turned his head as hard as he could, and dimly saw an unusually twisted, yet extremely excited face.
The old woman stuck her head out from the gap, staring greedily at Chenran who could not move.
It's like accumulating strength, more like waiting.
Like a spider sizing up a moth that crashes into its web and struggles desperately.
The moment it stops struggling, that's when it dies.
"Giggle"
The old woman opened her mouth, and her snake-like slender scarlet tongue swirled around her purple lips. The weird and strange sound came from her throat.
It's like a dying old man with phlegm in his throat.
This sound combined with the old woman’s current expression, it’s really scary.
Jiang Cheng agreed with Chenran's guess. This man was very smart and skillful, but he was too conceited. If he had come up and cut off his own tendons with a knife, there wouldn't have been so many things.
As he said, this old woman is not one of the players, but a very special NPC.
The crisis in this mission comes from two aspects.
On the one hand, there are the external ones, namely the ghosts in Blackstone Town, but according to Jiang Cheng’s speculation, those ghosts cannot enter this building, and will even become petrified as soon as they step into this building.
This is how the stone sculptures in the first-floor hall came to be.
The other hand is internal.
That is, the old woman who appears as a "teammate".
According to the fat man, they were "picked up" old women at the beach.
If you imagine the building as a safe house to deal with the guys in Blackstone Town, then the old woman is the threat hiding in the safe house, otherwise the players who are matched this time will be timid and stay behind closed doors.
Then the task duration will be extended.
If the nightmare is really controlled by someone or something, this deal will be unreasonable.
So.
Chenran’s sudden voice attracted Jiang Cheng’s attention again.
"Brother Hao," his voice was weak, but the frivolous feeling had not changed at all, and he still looked calm and calm when he was about to die.
Chenran squinted his eyes. Due to the lack of strength, he could barely lift his chin a little. He chuckled and said, "How are you going to use me?"
Use
To other people, this might just be the ravings of a lunatic, but Jiang Cheng didn't think so. He felt that this person was quite extraordinary, and he was one of the rare guys whose thinking mode was somewhat similar to his own.
If it were Diplodocus and others, they probably wouldn't beg for mercy at this moment, but they would definitely emphasize repeatedly that harming teammates in nightmares will result in retribution.
Yes, there is Chen Xiaomeng.
"Want to lend me your hand to kill this damn old woman?" Chenran asked.
Jiang Cheng touched his chin. Although the injury on his body was not fatal, it hurt severely as long as he moved.
"No, I won't bother you with such a cheap thing as killing people. What if this is really the way out of here." Jiang Cheng said, "Why don't we just let Brother Chen escape?"
" I'm going to leave you here," after thinking about it, he added : "You are leaving yourself here. I need to verify some things."
Jiang Cheng has been observing the old woman. She seems to be very interested in Chenran who has lost her ability to resist. The tongue that sticks out, Almost touching the latter's face.
But she never made a move. Instead, she kept glancing at herself impatiently. Start!
