Chapter 76 Hopeless Sea (7) Greed


Chapter 76 Hopeless Sea (7) Greed

There were messy footsteps outside the door, from far to near. It was expected that other players had also finished their dinner and went up to the second floor.

Qisi dispersed listening to the footsteps, disappearing into their respective rooms amidst the sounds of unlocking doors one after another. Silence once again settled in the air.

I don’t know how long it took, but there was a knock on the door. He knocked three times in a leisurely manner, and his polite attitude made it difficult for anyone to feel bad.

Qisi walked over, opened the door, and looked at the person standing outside the door with a half-smile: "Brother Lu, did you go to the wrong door?"

The person coming was none other than Lu Li.

He closed the lapel of his windbreaker, and the smile on his lips was very gentle: "After you went upstairs, we discussed the plans for tomorrow. There are some things I think I still want to tell you. A sound. "

"My preliminary judgment is that there are three places worth exploring, namely the altar, the bell tower and the coconut grove. Among them, the altar may be more dangerous. I suggest that the fewer people go, the better. "

"I understand." Qisi smiled and said every word, "We will not go to the altar tomorrow."

"I think you may have misunderstood me. I just made a suggestion, and they are not willing to listen to my judgment..." Lu Li sighed, as if feeling sad for being misunderstood.

He stepped back sideways, making a gesture to close the door: "It's getting late, let's all go to bed early, I'm afraid it will be dangerous if we go to bed late."

Chang Xu stood by the door at some point, his voice cold. : "Lu Li, your eyesight and memory seem to be very good, and you were able to find our room."

The number on the key is very unclear. Unless you pay attention, there is a high probability that you will not be able to find our room. Correspond with people.

Lu Li laughed and shook his head helplessly: "I'm just better at observing than others. I came up with them, and I remember which room they entered. It's easy to rule it out. Know the overall information.”

There was nothing wrong with this explanation, so Chang Xu frowned and closed the door without saying a word.

After Lu Li left, Qisi glanced at the watch on his wrist. It was already seven o'clock.

The "when the bell strikes ten" mentioned in the rules is eight o'clock in the evening when converted to a twenty-four-hour clock. In other words, there is still one hour left before the prescribed bedtime.

Qisi was lying on the bed, sleeping with his clothes on. He was just feeling sleepy when he heard the door knocking again.

Chang Xu stood up and opened the door.

A woman in a blue dress stood outside the door with a smile, holding two bowls of soup in her hands.

Qisi got out of bed with a fake smile on his face: "Yuna, what's the matter with you coming here so late?"

Yuna walked into the room by herself and put the soup on the bedside table. He gestured to the two of them that it was used to calm the nerves and help them sleep.

Chang Xu looked into her eyes and asked coldly: "What will happen if you don't drink? What will happen if you can't sleep at night?"

Yuna smiled and looked in the direction of the window. : "Maybe nothing will happen, or you may die."

The ambiguous answer is not suspected of being alarmist. It seems that whether the player drinks the bowl of soup or not has nothing to do with her.

Zeiss stood in front of the door as if casually, blocking Yuna's way: "If you fall asleep on time, you won't die, right?"

Yuna nodded and shook her head: "Everyone knows how to Dead."

"What happened to Viscount Crouch who lived in this room before?"

"I don't know." >Stylized answers coupled with a mask-like smile and a stingy refusal to give more information.

A little disappointed, Qissi made way for the woman to walk out of the room.

In silence, Chang Xu glanced at the bowl on the bedside table, and then cast a questioning look at Qisi.

Drinking the soup may be a way out, or it may lead to bad results; with a 50% probability, no one can say whether the choice is right or wrong.

But he still intuitively believes that trusting the decisions of intelligent players is more reliable than acting randomly on his own.

Qisi turned his head to look in the direction of the door, and the smile on his face faded a bit: "If you feel that no matter what happens outside, it won't wake you up, you don't have to drink."< br>


He picked up a bowl of soup and put it to his lips, took a sip and held it in his mouth.

——The decoction is colorless and odorless. From the appearance to the taste, it is the same as boiled water. It is extremely ordinary.

Chang Xu understood.

The death of Shen Ming on the first night at Rose Manor is not far away. In this kind of rule-based ghost story copy that explicitly requires sleep, waking up in the middle of the night will definitely lead to serious consequences.

At that moment, he picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Qisi watched him finish drinking, then swallowed the mouthful of soup in his mouth, and continued to sip the remaining liquid in the bowl. After a few seconds, he put the bowl down and lay down on the bed near the door.

In the silence, Chang Xu suddenly said: "Siqi, is the destiny pocket watch still there with you?"

What was supposed to come has come... Qisi raised his left hand and revealed The watch above: "It's still there, but it has been merged with the reward props I got in the third copy. I don't know how to separate them for the time being. If it doesn't work, I'll give it back to you in its entirety."

Chang Xu was noncommittal: "Please pay attention to the time of this copy. I have an intuition that time may be very important."

Qisi said "hmm", sensing the subtext that Chang Xu did not intend to take back the pocket watch. , raised his eyebrows slightly.

Then I heard Chang Xu say seriously: "According to the rules of the weird game, the item belongs to whose hand it leaves the copy."

"Thank you, Brother Chang." Qisi smiled gratefully and buried his left hand in it. Get into the quilt.

He knew that Chang Xu didn't know the true effect of the destiny pocket watch, and he only thought it was an ordinary timekeeping prop, so he was so generous.

And this is exactly what he wanted.

After meeting Lu Li, Qisi noticed a secret sense of crisis.

In the competition for survival, the competition between players is nothing more than force, wisdom and information.

He does not have any advantage in terms of force. Although his wisdom is barely superior, there are people outside the world and there is a sky outside the world. He cannot be the only smart person.

As for the amount of information, the gap is even greater. There are many veteran players who have cleared dozens or hundreds of dungeons. In extreme cases, there may even be old monsters who have been in the game for thirty-six years.

No matter how hard he tries, he can never make up for the gap accumulated over the past few decades, let alone the strength of one person to fight against the tens of millions of people in the Grand Guild.

To gain an advantage in the competition, he must hold tightly to the few limited cards in his hand and give full play to his advantages. The [Destiny Pocket Watch] that can trace back time is his biggest reliance in a short period of time...

The soothing decoction gradually took effect, thoughts scattered all over the floor, and sleepiness surged up like a tide. Qiss yawned several times in succession, and his consciousness became drowsy.

On the other bed, Chang Xu also blew out the oil lamp beside the bed and lay down quietly.

In the darkness, a powerful and heavy bell floated from a distance, ringing ten times unhurriedly, long and far away.

……

In the room near the stairs, the backpacker lay straight on the bed, counting sheep with his eyes closed.

【2. The bell in the bell tower rings every two hours. Please go to bed when it rings ten times and wake up when it rings four times. Please believe that it is safe to sleep in a hotel room. 】

The rules were clearly written on the system interface. He did not dare to neglect. He tried various methods to fall asleep quickly, but he became more and more awake.

His name is Xu Maochun, he is a game anchor. It is common for him to have reverse day and night. He suffered from neurasthenia at the age of thirty. Falling asleep in reality is not easy, let alone in a completely unfamiliar environment like a weird game?

After the ten bells rang, the backpacker felt completely sleepless. The fear of the unknown was like a web in his heart, making him anxious and unable to sleep.

He took a deep breath and recalled various funny jokes in his mind, trying to relax himself. He thought happily that at least he was close to the stairs and could run away in time if something happened.

As time passed by, the backpacker finally calmed down his breathing and let his consciousness stare.

In the haziness, a melodious and melodious song came from the distance, which seemed to be there but not at all, so elusive that it was difficult to grasp. The incomprehensible lyrics and tunes are mixed together, and the weird pronunciation with a mysterious atmosphere seems to have become a kind of musical instrument, beautiful and harmonious.

I don’t know when the wooden window was blown open by the wind, and the sea breeze brought the sound of the waves of the sea. The song was diluted in the waves, as if it was just a call from nature.

The backpacker found that his mind calmed down unconsciously. He stood up slowly, walked to the window, and looked at the blue sea under the orange sky.

The sparkling sea surface seems to be covered with a layer of silver, and the gorgeous scenery conveys unprecedented attraction.

I really want to go to the beach...I really want to go to the beach...

The backpacker turned around, walked to the door step by step, pushed the door open, and was blown away by the cold wind in the corridor. A thrill.

No! What's wrong with me? Can't go out!

The remaining reason gave him a warning of danger. He stopped abruptly at the door, twisted his limbs stiffly, and wanted to retreat to the room.

The friction of the joints made a "crunching" sound, which used up all his strength. The distant singing voice occupied him pervasively, smoothing his vigilance, thinking, cognition, and memory inch by inch...

The brain suddenly suddenly The time became blank, and he felt that he was so good, his body was as light as cotton wool, and he was about to ride away in the wind at any time.

A joyful smile appeared on his face, he jumped lightly in his steps, walked down the stairs step by step, walked through the deserted hall on the first floor, and walked towards the seaside.

The white fish floating on the sea grinned at him with the same smile. As if he was inspired, he walked into the sea step by step, letting the water cover his knees, waist, abdomen and head little by little...< br>
……

Later in the night, Gao Musheng was awakened by a rustling sound.

In the evening, like other players, he held his nose and ate the fish on the table.

Others may not be able to taste it, but he is extremely convinced that those "fish" taste like human flesh!

Although he has long been accustomed to eating this kind of food, in weird games, related food is often linked to danger, and he is not willing to risk his life for the sake of his appetite.

It is known that there is something wrong with the food, and if you continue to drink the soup sent by Yuna, you will be a fool - Gao Musheng did not believe that the NPC had any good intentions.

The bowl of soup was placed on the bedside. He didn't touch it, covered his head and fell asleep.

Gao Musheng prides himself on always being happy-go-lucky and falling asleep, but this was the first time he was woken up by such a light noise in the middle of the night.

He quickly figured out that this was caused by the mechanism of the weird game, cursed "fuck" in a low voice, and then reached for the soup bowl on the bedside.

There were dense noises outside the door, like hundreds of pythons marching together in the dense forest, dragging a soft "rustling" sound as they approached the door.

There was a knock on the door, and Gao Musheng felt a chill rush from his back to Tianling Gai. He didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly poured the whole bowl of soup down his throat.

Drowsiness quickly came over him, and he threw the bowl on the ground, leaned back, and was about to fall asleep again.

"Dong, dong, dong..." The knock on the door remained the same, getting louder and louder.

Gao Musheng realized something, and his fear and regret suddenly reached their peak. He supported his body and tried to sit up, but he could no longer find the strength.

At the last glance, he saw the door of the room being knocked open from the outside, and countless strange black figures pouring in...

...

Angela had a confusing and long dream, the specific content of which was unclear. She only vaguely remembered that there were other players in the dream, including Lu Li...

She recalled it for a while, but she really couldn't remember what she had watched. When he reached something, he simply stopped embarrassing his memory and fell asleep again.

"Dang, when, when, when..."

After the bell rang four times, Angela opened her eyes on time.

A white identity card hangs high in the upper right corner of the sight.

On the card, a gentleman in white robes holds a scroll in one hand and a pen in the other, writing indecipherable golden characters in the air.

Angela looked at the system interface in the upper left corner of her sight, her brows frowning unconsciously.

Her identity is "scholar", and the identity effect is the position of perceived money.

After Yuna distributed the banknotes to the player, she could clearly see on the system interface that there were a total of fifteen dots including herself.

This is her first dungeon after becoming an official player. Her force value is low and she has no unlocked skills. It seems that the game gave her this copy in order to balance the strength of each player. She can get more Informative identity.

Just why, after just one night, there are two less dots on the system interface?

Two pieces of money disappeared out of thin air? Two people were robbed of their money?

Or - two people died?
