Chapter 261 Everyone is aware
The rogue is opening the lock seriously.
A piece of iron wire in the hand moved lightly in the keyhole a few times. With a slight push, the door opened inwards.
After testing, there is no door that cannot be pried open in a closed house.
To his surprise, the house was not as fully furnished as he imagined, but was empty enough for a mouse to run away.
The enclosed second floor seems to hide the so-called homeowner.
The window was closed until the door was opened. After the door is pried open, the wooden sash window automatically opens inward and can be climbed over.
The job of the rogue is to try to open up maps in this area.
He plans to stay here and not leave.
In his opinion, breaking open the door piecemeal does not have much effect and is difficult to use.
And concentrating it in one area can expand the resources of the housing area several times. Its value lies in providing extra doors and windows to climb over.
The loitering did not close the door after unlocking it, making it easier to enter and exit.
And when the door is closed, it cannot be seen from the outside whether the room is closed or not, and even he, the instigator, will be confused.
His unlocking speed is just as described in the skill, 30 seconds is just right. He didn't know the principle of unlocking the door. He only knew that he could insert the wire according to his feeling and twist it casually, and the door lock would be unlocked by the mysterious power.
After working like a flow, before receiving the [Detect Evil] prompt, he had already unlocked a small housing area. Counting the existing template houses, there were a total of more than a dozen buildings.
When the light beam marking the soul hunter soared into the sky, he just raised his head and glanced into the distance without stopping the movement of his hands.
At the end of the day, the wanderer felt a little numb. He persists in the masquerade with the freshness of being defeated by life until now, and his open-mindedness has never faded.
He doesn't really care about winning or losing in this entertainment game. Now he just wants to do what needs to be done peacefully.
About twenty minutes into the game, Wei Miao discovered another candy machine under the city wall in the southwest corner.
"Are there no travelers nearby... The inventory has not changed."
Wei Miao examined the goods and read the description of the sweet candies.
Pain is a common experience and it is anything but friendly. Advanced players will find ways to overcome their pain reflex, which sometimes leads to deformed operations and fatal mistakes.
Therefore, the value of ignoring pain is more than just not having to suffer.
But she has a limited amount of All Saints' Day candies on hand, and there are as many as eight candies in stock. Without knowing the remaining goods of the candy machine, she has no intention of purchasing.
In addition, from the location of the first two candy machines, it can be inferred that the third candy machine is likely to be located in the southeast corner of the town, with the three distributed in a triangle.
"That's almost it. Let's see if there are any lucky ones nearby."
Wei Miao turned around and looked at the quiet city behind her, finally using all awareness.
"Global Awareness" is a skill with a fixed cooldown and initially comes with one shot. In six hours, it can be activated 13 times under the most extreme circumstances, but the first and last two times are actually invalid.
A reasonable situation is to use it 12 times. Activate it once within the first half hour of entering the game, as early as possible, and use it as soon as possible after cooling down to reduce the readiness time, so that the last activation has more time to find the traveler, and avoid it being used ineffectively.
The same principle applies to [Detecting Evil].
But it’s also important to be able to detect the other person’s movements at the right time.
Therefore, Wei Miao left "all awareness" until now. Part of the reason is that she hopes to end the hunting game as soon as possible, so there is no need to care about the effect of the last "universal awareness".
The candy machine has been found, it’s time to find someone by the way. The trip to the third candy machine is halfway across town, so you can drop by. "All Awareness" and [Detect Evil] can form a confrontation. The problem is that the soul hunters do not know what special skills the travelers have obtained, or even know that they can know the status of others through the avatars on the panel.
However, asymmetric confrontation games are not uncommon and are also popular in virtual games. The basic structure of the system and gameplay is predictable. Usually, players are randomly born somewhere on the map and cannot communicate or sense each other, but there is a simple window to know the status of their teammates and make decisions.
Wei Miao couldn't confirm whether the opponent had [Detect Evil].
The use of [Detect Evil] will not be noticed by soul hunters. This is a default matter that is not written in the skill description. If it can be detected, the Soul Hunter can use this to mislead the direction of movement, eliminating half of its functionality.
Wei Miao assumes that the traveler has obtained [Detect Evil], either to confirm her position from the beginning, or to deal with emergencies.
For example, if you sense her but cannot confirm her location, use it to save yourself.
People with skills will definitely use it to avoid danger. If the people are gone, there is no use keeping the skills.
It can be seen that at least Guan Shanyue does not have [Detect Evil] on his hands, otherwise he would not have fallen into a trap.
If others hold it, judging from the current point in time, there is a high probability that it has been used. As for when it was used, it doesn't really matter.
As soon as "All Awareness" is turned on, four scarlet light pillars rise into the sky, overflowing with feather-like brilliance.
Wei Miao sensed the four travelers scattered around.
“Three of them are in the southeastern city, and one is nearby.”
Taking the four intersecting main roads as boundaries, Wei Miao divided the town of Sabo into four urban areas: northwest, southwest, northeast and southeast, with the main road taken at the beginning being due north.
She is currently in the southwest corner.
Along the way, she has roughly understood the layout of the town. The town is bounded by a perfectly circular city wall with a radius of about 800 meters, and each urban area occupies a large area.
Now that there is a range reference and the sensed distance and direction information, Wei Miao can accurately locate their location even without a light beam.
Skills show that there is a traveler who is only more than two hundred meters away from her and has not moved.
The remaining three gathered in a city area by unknown chance, but they were scattered among themselves and may not have met yet. Judging from their respective directions of travel, it was only a matter of time before they met.
Two are moving and one is not moving.
When the skill duration ended, Wei Miao had already swept dozens of meters away from the nearest prey.
At the same time, Zixu was squatting in the corner of a certain template room, wandering around Taixu.
His position is stuck quite well. The streets in this housing area are criss-crossed. For such a housing area, sometimes you can simply stand at the entrance of each street and look in, and you can see multiple streets.
However, this housing area has rows of buildings spaced apart from each other, covering many internal lanes.
Zixu will choose a template room in the inner row of rooms as his hiding place. The formwork room had windows on the front and back, and he nestled in the corner, with his back pressed against one of the windows and facing the other window.
This allows him to only be alert to the opposite window, and the soul hunters can only find him from there. The [Secret Blind Spot] he carries is perfect for peek-a-boo.
Without everyone noticing, the soul hunters are determined not to find him.
The judgment of squatting is not strict. Sitting down is also considered squatting. Zixu does not have to worry about being unable to escape due to numbness in his feet if he is discovered. The window facing away from him was exactly the escape route he had envisioned.
He hugged his knees and waited quietly for time to pass. In another ten minutes or so, he should move the battlefield, in case the Soul Hunters were suddenly aware of the attack and caught him in a trap.
However, the next moment, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
Perception is triggered, the soul hunter is nearby!
