Chapter 84 Hopeless Sea (15) Opponent - Opponent
“Someone wants to kill me... No, he has already killed me.”
Lu Li was helped by the long-haired young man and sat down. On the chair, there were little blood stains dripping all the way.
His face was as white as paper due to excessive blood loss, but his words were very clear: "The man came from behind me and hit my head with a heavy object - I think he should hit the back of my head. It was smashed. I used props to divert the fatal wound on the head, and then I saved my life."
He said, placing a statue that was only half the size of his hand on the table.
Qisi stared at it for two seconds, and prompt text was refreshed on the system interface in due course.
[Name: Gift of Axl (lost)]
[Type: Prop]
[Effect: Randomly transfer the location of fatal injuries, with a 10% chance Probability converts fatal injuries into non-fatal injuries]
[Note: The goddess of health saves lives and heals the wounded, but has no intention of being an enemy of death. She simply leaves everything to fate to decide]
Qisi lowered his eyes and looked at Lu Li's right leg.
The leg was obviously useless, dragging feebly on the ground. Although the trouser leg had been knotted and hastily bandaged, blood was still oozing out.
This should be a "non-fatal injury" converted from a fatal injury, but it still doesn't look optimistic.
If not treated in time, the infection in the legs can spread to the whole body at any time and cause death.
Qisi went through his sad experiences from childhood to adulthood in his mind, and made a worried expression: "Professor Lu, do you want to say...it was the player who attacked you?"
Lu Li smiled bitterly: "Although I don't want to believe it, I'm afraid it is indeed the case. I know very well that the weapon that killed me does not belong to this dungeon."
The trust between players is already fragile, and Lu Li, who advocates peace, Li encountered a black hand, and cooperation has become nonsense.
The water will only get muddier next, and mutual harm is bound to happen...
Qis pondered for a moment and asked: "Have you paid attention to the appearance of the murderer?"
Lu Li shook his head: "No, he approached me from behind, silently. I didn't even fully understand what happened until the moment I died."
"I was completely frightened at the time, and the pain became all I knew for a moment. I fell to the ground, sand filled my mouth and nose, blood covered my face, and my vision was blurry..."
Lu Li's emotions gradually agitated as he recalled his death experience, and his pale right hand hanging by his side couldn't help but tremble: "I'm sorry, I still can't calm down completely now."
"I just I can tell that the man killed me because I wanted to go to the altar. He probably knew some clues about the altar... I suggest that you don't go towards the altar before that man is exposed."
Liu Yuhan had lowered her head before, but now she seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly raised her eyes: "There are doubts. Lu Li's identity is a 'businessman', and the identity of the player who can attack him cannot be a 'scholar'. From this It can be seen that there must be a camp that the murderer cannot kill. The murderer cannot prevent everyone from going to the altar. I have some speculations. I didn’t want to say them out loud, but now I feel I have to tell you.”
"I suspect that the murderer has an accomplice, and the two happen to belong to different camps."
The solemn bells sounded from a distance, like a psalm of prayer.
The echoes blurred the words and dispersed, unhurriedly resonating with the nine bells.
Converted to a twenty-four-hour clock, it is exactly six o'clock in the evening.
This point has not been returned yet, and the remaining two players may be in danger.
"Accomplices...yes, because of having accomplices, we can attack more than two people at the same time."
"To be able to form an alliance in the camp game, they must have designated dungeons and entered as a team. Their purpose What on earth is it?”
“Damn it, we are in the open, they are in the dark...we can obviously cooperate...”
The players started talking, and soon they all turned off. , observing the companions around him with a solemn expression.
A few people's eyes wandered between Chang Xu and Qisi for a long time.
In the dead silence, Yuna once again appeared in front of the players holding a wooden board with accommodation prices written on it. Her behavior was exactly the same as the day before yesterday.
With a flawless smile on her face, she looked across the crowd and landed on Liu Yuhan, who was curled up in the shadows, and licked the latter's whole body in a real way.
The girl's already pale face became even paler, and her shoulders trembled slightly.
The others turned a blind eye and took out banknotes from their pockets and gathered in Yuna's direction.
The long-haired young man did not go over, but walked towards Lu Li: "Professor Lu, you are injured. Let me share a room with you so that we can take care of you in case of emergencies."
< br>
His voice was not soft, and several players had surprised looks on their faces after hearing it.
But soon, more than one person figured out the twists and turns.
Although Lu Li looked gentle and harmless a day ago, his status as a senior player was enough to make people stay away from him; but now, he is experienced and disadvantaged, and he will It's a good person to share the rent.
The little man reacted the fastest. He leaned over and said with a smile: "Professor Lu, add me. If there are three people, the room price can be divided easily."
The long-haired young man frowned slightly. Lowering his eyebrows, Lu Li seemed unaware and nodded with a smile: "Thank you very much."
Yuna walked around the hall, collecting room payments one by one.
When she walked up to Qisi, Qisi casually took out a piece of banknote and put it into her hand behind the light.
Yuna accepted the banknotes, said nothing, and continued to find the next player.
Qis looked at the woman's back and raised his eyebrows slightly. One of the effects of being a businessman is [getting the same service at a lower cost]. Is the discount so big?
He still has nine hundred yuan left on him. With the money Chang Xu has on him, he can still live on the island for more than ten days.
But he believes that the money is not just used to buy accommodation days.
‘Please believe that the money you receive is in line with your own value. ’
Yuna’s words echoed in her ears, and an equation seemed to be established between money and the value of life.
The groundless speculation could not be put into practice. Qisi sat down at the table in the center of the hall, holding his chin and getting distracted.
After Yuna collected the money, she retreated behind the counter. Not long after, she pushed the dining cart out, first distributed tableware, and then placed the dishes full of fishy smell on the table.
After finishing the dishes, she gestured to the players: "Just last night, I lost the statue of Lord Poseidon. I have been looking for it all day today and still can't find it. Can you help me pay attention to it?" "
"No problem." Lu Li smiled palely, "We will help you keep an eye on it."
Qisi knew that Yuna's lost statue was most likely Chang Xu's dream. The one he brought out.
As for why it was lost...
Qisi curled up the corners of his lips and looked calm: What does the statue held by Chang Xu have to do with Qisi?
Yuna stood for a while longer, scanning everyone, but found no doubts after all.
She could only say in sign language distressedly: "If you find the idol and give it to me, you can make a request to me."
The players gestured to each other and looked at each other from their eyes. I saw that I was bound to win.
Chang Xu cast an inquiring look at Qisi, but Qisi had already picked up the chopsticks, lowered his head and started making gestures with the seaweed on the table.
With the experience of the first day, no one was polite this time. Eleven pairs of chopsticks reached for the plate of seaweed. In the end, each person only got one bite.
Chisi chewed contentedly on the largest portion of seaweed he had grabbed.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the seaweed this time tasted better than last night and this morning. Although there was still a fishy smell that couldn’t be driven away, the salty smell seemed to be mixed with it. With a light umami flavor.
He touched his chin and looked at the remaining dishes with a more probing look.
Has Yuna’s craftsmanship gotten better? Would other dishes taste better?
After hastily finishing the dinner, Qisi left the table on his own. Chang Xu followed him silently, and the two of them went upstairs one after the other.
In the long and narrow corridor on the second floor, the water stains on the ground have dried up, leaving only the salty smell of the ocean that irritates the nostrils.
The rotten and dry wooden floor seems to have been corroded by salt and become soft. When you step on it, you will feel the soles of your feet sinking deeply, and you can catch the "rustling" sound of silkworms eating through synaesthesia.
The flying dust refracts the light beam leaking in from the gaps in the wooden boards. The milky yellow light path is like gauze that has been washed many times, more like a tangled dream.
In the terrifying silence, Chang Xu said coldly: "What is going on with that statue?"
"I have to ask you, don't I? I have done my best to help you store the statue and avoid Yuna's search." Qisi's eyes were sincere and his tone was sincere, "I'll give you another piece of advice, don't rush to put the statue away first. Return it to Yuna, and be careful about fishing and law enforcement."
Chang Xu stared at Qisi suspiciously, but after all he didn't see the flaw, so he could only say dullly: "Thank you."
Qi. Si lowered his eyes and continued: "You should have noticed that many players are in chaos. On the one hand, it is the threat of Yuna, and on the other hand, it is the murderer lurking in the dark. Under such pressure, it is estimated that many people will Thinking of the guaranteed death toll mechanism... Although I don't want to see that happen, I still recommend that you be vigilant and prepare for the next zero-sum game."
"It will not come to this point. , although more and more players are inspired by the game to have evil thoughts, cooperation and peace are still the mainstream." Chang Xu shook his head, "A friend of mine made a group portrait of official players based on the interactions in the forum, and massacre flow. The proportion of players is only 20%."
Zis, who knows himself as a "massacre player": "..."
He stopped and asked a question at the right time: "As far as I know, the third copy will screen out 80% of the players, and it will be difficult for non-massacre players to survive in the competition for survival."
Chang Xu said calmly: "But the fact is that Weird Games seems to have been deliberately controlling the proportion of killing stream players. No matter how difficult it is to understand, that proportion always floats on the 20% line."
Ziss was not convinced.
In his impression, except for himself, every one of the veteran players in the third copy died miserably, no matter the good guys or the bad guys.
He knew that it was unwise to reveal more information in order to convince others, so he changed the subject without leaving a trace: "Lu Li said that the murderer had an accomplice from a different camp. What do you think?"
Chang Xu thought for a while and said, "I suspect that the murderer and his accomplices are from Xila."
"Not necessarily." Qisi shook his head.
As early as the evil god told him to "be careful of the puppet master", he automatically called up the news about the puppet master in the forum in his mind.
It is known that the puppet master can control other players through puppet threads. Anyone may be transformed into a puppet in an instant and be driven by the puppet master.
In other words, everyone can be his accomplice - even if that person does not belong to Xiela.
The seeds of suspicion have been planted, and no one can be trusted, including himself...
Thinking of this, Qis made a nonsensical joke: "Brother Chang, do you think the two of us look like murderers?" With an accomplice?"
Chang Xu tilted his head and thought for two seconds, then said seriously: "Like."
Qisi slapped his face on his hands: "Has anyone told you? , you have no sense of humor?”
Chang Xu: “Yes”
