Chapter 88 Hopeless Sea (19) Sacrifice-Sacrifice
Crisis emerge in endlessly, rules are full of traps, and experience may not be fully effective.
In the face of death, everyone is equal, no matter whether they are new or old.
The conversation between Qisi and Lu Li brought the hidden horror to the surface. With just a little thought, you can think of it: Even players at that level will die inexplicably, but what about the others?
The guaranteed death toll mechanism is undoubtedly the simplest and crudest option.
No longer need to fight against the almost unsolvable weirdness, only need to deal with players who are also human beings...
Everyone looked at their noses, noses, and hearts, and they all considered it, and consciously dispersed, staying with the others. distance.
Because the players are spread out, the room is much emptier and no longer seems crowded.
Chisi walked to the low table next to the bedside table and opened the drawer.
As expected, a few pieces of yellowed retro manuscript paper lay quietly on the brown and black wooden grid, just shy of slapping the word "clue" on the player's face.
Hans killed the players near the altar because he knew more clues; and now that he is dead, the clues are in the drawer in his room...
Everything seems so logical and reasonable.
Chis lowered his eyes to cover the teasing in his eyes, took out the manuscript paper at random, and read out the content above:
[Crouch actually wanted to stay on the island to live, he was forced to Did Yuna chew off her brain? 】
【That woman always reminds me of the siren in sailor rumors. She is so scary. It is a feeling that cannot be described in detail. She is definitely not a living person...】
[No, Crouch has also become scary, he has become a stranger, he has begun to adapt to this island... Habit, what a terrible word! 】
......
[I had that dream again. The eyes of Poseidon were watching me. I walked step by step to the center of the altar and was given the so-called sacred thing. 】
【He is tempting me, I can't go there, even if the ultimate answer I'm pursuing is probably there... Many people have died, everyone is dead, all died in the altar, dead Under the temptation of Poseidon...]
[Why do some people believe that an island without night is an adventure for explorers? Why do some people think that there is a legendary treasure hidden in the center of an isolated island? 】
...
[Crouch was looking at me, and I heard the sound of him swallowing his saliva. He wanted to eat me, just like he chewed the fish meat a few days ago! 】
【But he was restraining himself and did not take direct force against me... It was definitely not out of morality. He seemed to be restricted by something. Was it the words on the stone tablet he saw when he went to the island? ? 】
【Today, he once again suggested that I go to the beach, and even said in a longing and nostalgic tone that we were so happy when we were swimming in the sea... I have a strong feeling. , he is no longer himself, but has become something unknown! 】
……
[I heard the call of Poseidon, knowledge, mysticism, rituals... I learned a lot of things in an instant that I couldn't know before. It was a terrible feeling, but it was also wonderful. I can't describe it in detail. 】
【My memory is clearer than ever before. Scenes from my childhood are vividly displayed in front of my eyes one by one. I even remember the advice the old sailor gave me before I went to sea. 】
【Yes, I remembered it. Someone crossed this strange sea. He wrote in the logbook: Record the time from the time you land on the island. There will be a chance to leave the island every three days. By then Even if the sea is calm, even a small canoe can cross the ocean...]
[That's so ridiculous. Why did I happen to see this description and think of it at this moment? Are my memories real? Are my thoughts still my own? 】
【No, I have no other choice, I have to leave...must...】
...
Like the previous clue, this clue is also a diary, but it belongs to another person, an unnamed person.
Preliminary judgment shows that the owner of the diary is a sailor who is familiar with Crouch, and his status should be high.
The handwriting on the back of the manuscript paper became increasingly messy, until only some illegible symbols remained.
Without the translation provided by Weird Game, Qisi thought he could not see anything more, so he simply passed the manuscript paper to Chang Xu beside him.
Chang Xu scanned it from beginning to end and passed it to Lu Li.
Soon, the manuscript paper was passed around among the players.
The above text records the writer's experience of being trapped on the island. Horrible situations that the players have encountered and have never encountered are vividly displayed on the page, bringing bad warnings and revealing hidden crises.
Lu Li pondered for a moment and said: "Tomorrow is the third day."
The diary clearly stated, [The time has been recorded since arriving on the island, once every three days. Opportunities for outlying islands].
But who knows whether this information is true or false? This copy does not have the prerequisite "NPCs will not lie".
Qisi thought carefully and said: "If you miss tomorrow, you will have to wait three more days. The longer it takes, the more dangerous it will be. Moreover, many people may not have enough money to last that long."
< br>When he finished the order, Zhang Hongfeng immediately answered: "I can repair the boat today, and it will be no problem to leave tomorrow."
This time, no one was interested in the plan of leaving by boat. Raise an objection; time is of the essence and there is no better option.
Qisi and Chang Xu mixed in the crowd and went downstairs. As soon as they arrived in the hall, a pungent smell of fish hit their faces - the food was ready.
No one was polite now, they all picked up their chopsticks to grab the small plate of seaweed in the center of the table, and each of them finished carving up the only vegetarian dish according to his or her ability.
Qisi put down his chopsticks and got off the table.
His demand for food has never been large. If he doesn't eat for a day or two, he will feel dizzy at most.
The other players reluctantly ate the remaining plates of fish after struggling.
Maybe they were hungry because they didn’t eat well in the previous few meals. After picking up a few chopsticks of fish, some people unknowingly ate a lot more, which was much more than before. .
The fishy smell is still pungent, and no matter how long the nose is soaked in this smell, it cannot force humans to adapt.
Chis walked out of the hotel and took a big breath.
Behind me, Chang Xu followed and asked, "What did you mean when you told me before, 'Just sleep for this amount of time every day'?" "Literally." Qisi looked at him sideways, his eyes Sincerely, "I am a freelancer. I am used to sleeping until I wake up naturally every day. It is not like your regular schedule."
Chang Xu had a hunch that Qisi had hidden some key information from him.
Several scene clips flashed through his mind, and he asked: "There is a problem with time, is there? After drinking the soothing soup to fall asleep, we cannot hear the bells that ring during the period, and it is easy to misjudge the time, is that true?" < br>
"Guess." Qisi put his index finger to his lips, narrowed his eyes and smiled, but looked over his shoulder to somewhere behind him.
If Chang Xu realized something, he immediately turned around and saw Angela with green hair walking over.
The girl smiled familiarly and said: "Two handsome guys, are you interested in going to the altar with me?"
"One of the people from Xila died, and there are two left. "Aren't you afraid of being slapped like Lu Li?" Chi paused, his voice rising, "Or do you know who is from Xila?"
"I just don't think they dare to attack at this time, because they can't be sure whether we are the bait to lure the snake out of its hole." Angela narrowed her eyes, her expression flawless, "What's more, if we don't go today, there will be no chance. Isn't it? You are not willing to give up the world view that is so close, right?"
"Why do you want to cooperate with us?" Qisi looked at her with a half-smile, "There are two other known players. "Puppet', the probability that neither of us is a 'puppet' is only 7 in 12, just over half. Do you dare to bet?"
Angela smiled narrowly: "I can confirm that you are not." People in Xila generally don’t broadcast live broadcasts like Chang Xu’s.”
That live broadcast is like playing monkey?
Qisi glanced at Chang Xu next to him, and what flashed through his mind were the various actions he had taken in this copy.
The live broadcast screen covers a five-meter radius around the host, and is only closed when the player is having sex, running naked, or falling asleep.
Many of his actions and words must have been revealed, and those who are interested can definitely get a lot of information from them...
Qisi felt cold in his heart, but he was smiling on his face. Teasing: "Brother Chang, it looks like this girl is your fan."
Chang Xu didn't know that his temporary teammate had murderous intentions.
He looked at Angela for two seconds, and then cast a questioning look at Qiss.
He never refuses other players' requests for help and cooperation, but the current situation is different from before.
He doesn't know much about the world, but he also knows that it is impolite to make a decision without discussing it with teammates.
If something goes wrong at that time, it will not only harm you, but also innocent teammates.
Chis looked at Angela with clear eyes: "The existence of the puppet master, the dangers mentioned in the diary, the loss of time and money... There are more and more crisis factors, and the probability of death is far greater than the crack. The world view and the probability of passing the level through the normal path. "
"You are worried that some players will harm others in a hurry and kill other players in order to trigger the guaranteed death number mechanism. Therefore, you want to gather a larger alliance group first. , cracking the worldview, right? ”
Angela nodded with a complicated expression.
Qiss asked back: "Have you ever thought that being the first to reach an alliance will become the target of public criticism?"
Seeing that the two people around him looked thoughtful, he continued: "The players have a total of Ten people, not five or six; and there are two people from Xiela among these ten people. They will definitely adopt a zero-sum mentality and eliminate the strongest ones first. Once the three-person alliance is reached, the outcome will most likely be the three of us together. Die."
"After all, we are different from Lu Li and others. In the eyes of outsiders, we are familiar with each other in advance. It is even possible that we are stuck in the same instance through certain props. Planning something."
He paused for a moment and sighed: "Besides, I don't think it is a wise choice to explore the altar. The diary has made it very clear that it is really difficult to get close to the altar. Die.”
Angela smiled regretfully, exchanged a few more nonsense words, then ignored Qisi and turned back to the hotel.
Chang Xu remained silent, but he understood what Qiss meant and asked: "Why won't the alliance between two people be targeted? According to the gunman game theory, whoever reaches the alliance first may be They were attacked by other people."
"Who said that the alliance between the two will not be targeted?" Qiss sneered, his eyes full of self-deprecation, "As far as I know, I have been targeted. Whether you can survive this dungeon is a matter of two opinions."
Chang Xu heard the sadness in the words and looked stern: "Then why do you still want to live with me?"
"Hehe, hehe." Qiss sneered three times, "Do I have any other choice? As soon as I entered the dungeon, you followed me to confirm the unfounded suspicion. Anyone with any intelligence would know that we know each other." If we don’t go together, what else will it mean if we don’t hide it?”
Chang Xu was silent, unable to find a reason to refute for a while, because what Qisi said was the truth.
He searched for the truth, and followed Qis closely with the intention of probing and winning over, but ignored the danger behind the incident.
Because of his outstanding force value, he has a smooth journey and never cares about other people's opinions. However, there are only a few people with as strong a force as him...
At this moment, Qisi's attitude made him feel flustered for no reason.
In his memory, this young man had always been calm and smiling. This time he was so rude, it could only be that the situation was out of control, even to a fatal level...
Qisi took a deep breath and exhaled it, and took a step back tiredly: "It's useless to tell you this, the matter has not reached the point where it cannot be solved."
"We will separate from now on, you go again After a trip to the bell tower, no matter what method you use, bring the skeleton down from the top floor and place it in the center of the hotel, bell tower and altar."
"You may encounter many incomprehensible things next. I don’t expect you to trust me without reservation. If I really die here, I will consider myself unlucky.”
He smiled, his pale face looking weak. Weakly, with an obvious forced calmness: "That's all, Brother Chang, let's say goodbye."
Chang Xu hesitated, but after seeing Qisi's urging eyes, he intuitively The task assigned to you by the other party is extremely important. It may be the final way to break the situation, so there is no room for failure.
"Be more careful. If it really comes to an irreversible point, I will do my best to take you away."
He dropped a word, turned around and rushed towards the bell tower.
After Chang Xu's figure disappeared among the coconut trees, Qisi raised his hand and touched his face, and the panic and helplessness on his face disappeared.
The black-haired young man returned to the hotel, walked to Angela who was about to go out, and asked with a smile: "Would you like to go to the altar together?"
Thanks to Dagoudan'er and 9shuuu. Monthly ticket!
